WHICH SHOULD HE MAK BY? BY JOBEPHINB POLLIBD. Baid the youthful Fred to hie Uncle Hany: “ I’ve really made up my mind to marry, But cannot decide if itie better That Love or Lucre shall forge the fetter.” “ Ah ! wedlock bringeth us joy and sorrow; We smile to-day and we weep to-morrow; And, Fred, there’ll always be stormy weather Where two are unequally yoked together I “ Well, here’s the case,” said Fred, with emotion; “ I’ve given to Clara mv heart’s devotion; But she has no money, and, Uncle Harry, You know ’twould be folly for us to marry “ “ Well—l—don’t—know,” said the other, turning His gaze toward the youth, “ since the Are Is bumIng, I’ve a word of counsel to give you, which is, Marry for love and work for riches.” “ But Grace, you see,” said the anxious Freddy, “ Has a nice little housekeeping fund already, And will help along with a contribution To steer from the straits of destitution. When money is scarce, and the wife is ailing, I tell you, uncle, it’s not plain sailing; And to bear up under Time’s changes and chaaoM Is easy, if easy our circumstances.” “ Stop! stop!” with a frown, said Uncle Harry, “ The girl that you love is the girl to marry I Aud if she’s true, she’ll not think It cruel To live for awhile on water-grneL She’ll comfort you in the time of trial; Sh ’ll whisper naught of her self-denial; And cheerfully take the needed stitches— Who marries for love, and not for riches! “ Don't think for a moment, Fred, ’Us bettor . To bind the heart with a golden fetter; Though many do it, yet many rue it, Aud Love is a tearful witness to it 1 There isn’t a chance for pleasant weather Where two are unequally yoked together; So turn your back when money bewitches; Marry for love, and not for richest” —Baldwin's Monthly.

KING WINTER’S WIFE.

There was no mistake about one thing Charlie had the measles. He had been feeling a little out of sorts all the morning, and came home at noon from school with a headache, which he didn’t like to own to, for wasn’t to-morrow Washington’s birthday, and weren’t the boys all going to “celebrate?” Under such circumstances he was not the boy to complain, however he felt, not he I but it seemed impossible to eat anything. Mamma, who sat beside him, was just about to remark on her little boy’s loss of appetite, when Claude, Charlie’s eldest brother, who was rather late to dinner, and had just taken his seat at table, exclaimed: “Well, youngster, who’s been painting your face ? I guess somebody has, for you Lave blue under your eyes, gray on your cheeks —and I declare your nose is as red as a cherry, and your cheeks as speckled as old Chloe’s guinea-hen! Mamma, isn’t something the matter with him ?” Mamma was already leaning over and studying her little boy’s face, while his sisters, Fan and Debbie, began declaring both at once: “ Charlie’s got the measles; some of the other boys have taken it. O, Charlie !-” Nine-year-old Charlie didn’t feel very heroic then ; there was a lump in his throat, which almost made his head spin; but mamma’s gentle hand was drawing away his chair from the table, and unfastening his napkin. “ Come, my boy, we’ll go up to the nursery,” she said, “ and see if we can’t feel more comfortable there.” Kind Brother Claude picked him off his feet, and in a twinkling carried him up to the nursery far ahead of mamma. “ There, young gentleman,” said he, laying him on the lounge, “ circumstances alter cases, you know, and you’ll have to celebrate the birthday of the father of your country in hot blankets, with sage or camomile tea, instead of taffy and pop-guns. But remember, one can be a hero without a hatchet. Good-by, boy !” and away he went. Mamma, full of sympathy, was a real comforter, and soon persuaded Charlie to go to bed. And once there, he had desire to get up and eat taffy or shoot his toy camion. According to nurse’s account next morning, “ the measles had come out finely;” on hearing which, Claude sent up a teasing message to know if Charlie “ would have his portrait taken. ” But all bad things have an end some time, and a day came when Charlie was allowed to go down stairs again, though not out of doors, because of the damp, windy weather. Tea was just being served in the back parlor, and, as the room was very warm, Debbie opened the window of an adjoining room. Suddenly a shadow seemed to flit across the ceiling, then another, and yet another. Charlie, looking up, exclaimed :

“Oli, look I There’s a bird in the room 1” “A bat! a bat!” cried several voices at once. And sure enough a bat it was. Round and round it flew, sometimes almost touching the tea things, then very near to papa’s head, now near the grate, now near the ceiling. * 1 Debbie, quick ! Shut the folding doors 1” And Debbie quickly shut off the front parlor, and papa put out the lights and swung the hall door wide open, while Fan hurriedly set wide the outer house doors, and soon the bat, attracted by the hall light, left the back parlor, and was shut out into the darkness. That was a great episode, and the excitement kept Charlie awake long after he had been tucked into bed. Once asleep, however, he had the queerest dream. He fancied himself near the foot oTthe garden, the sun was shining, and he had just been slidiag down one of the paths on his sled, plump ujuto the fence, but as he touched it a heavy sigh caused him to look about sharply. Not seeing any one, he was about to get off his sled when he heard another sigh. Then he saw, to his surprise, sitting on one of the stones of the low wall, the funniest little old woman one could imag ine. She was no taller than your handand her face was brown, like leather, and full of wrinkles and seams; her eyes were like two bright black beads, and if she had any hair it was invisible, for she wore a white fur hood, with deep cape, which covered her shoulders. She also wore funny little boots, with very high heels, all furry outside, heels and all, and fastened together by little brown thoTns from the wild rose-bush. A string of tiny bells hung around each ankle, and bells just like them were fringed around the bottom of her scarlet petticoat. She had on beside an immense white apron which nearly covered her up, while a very big pair of shears dangled from her belt by a string of braided grass.

Charlie was too much astonished to say anything, but she spoke herself, in a minute more, in a shrill, cracked, piping voice, so that he felt almost like laughing. He didn’t, however, but answered respectfully when she said : “ Who are you ? ” “My name’s Charlie Hall.” He wanted to add, ‘ ‘ And who are you ? ” but there wasn’t a chance, for she spoke up very quick. “ You want to know who I am, I suppose? Well I’m King Winter’s wife. Perhaps you don’t believe it, but Kings and Queens aren’t always tall, or large either. I like your face. Won’t you come home with me this morning and make a little visit t I’m pretty busy just now, but if you’ll use your eyes instead of your tongue, maybe you’ll enjoy yourself as much as if you were out sliding.” What happened next Charlie couldn’t quite tell, but he suddenly found himself in the strangest place imaginable. It was like an underground street with walls of clay on either side, and other streets crossing it here and ther~, “ You see,” said the talkative old lady, who seemed unable to walk like other people, but danced constantly, going a little way, then stopping, then dancing on again; “you see, from November to the first of April—sometimes as late as that—my husband, King Winter, with King Frost, his twin brother, have their factory in full blast, and. all their time is occupied. They make millions and millions of snowflakes, and pounds and

pounds of icicles, great Quantities of sheet ice for ponds and lakes, and icebergs, and great blockades of ice for coves and sluggish streams, beside statuary for public gardens and old ruins, and delicate work for parks and private residences. It all requires personal supervision; the most skillful designers are employed and the most artistic sculptors earth and sky can furnish. Every fresh order requires a fresh set of designs, so the work goes on by night as well as by day; indeed the best of it is done at night. But, you see, I’m lonely, when my husband’s away, so I’ve undertaken this work to divert my mind—don’t you see, child ? * said she, noticing Charlie’s look of wonderment. “ Why, I look after the little creatures who live above ground in summer, and would die if somebody didn’t keep them from freezing to death. See here what I’ll show you.” She danced aside a few steps to what seemed to be a knoll of earth, and pulled up some soft blanket cobwebs, and there lay more than a million grasshoppers, fast asleep. All their little legs were stiffly doubled up, and pillows of diy moss were under their heads. Charlie was going to speak, but the old lady put her finger to her lips and shook her head, while she tucked the cobweb blaukets over them and hastened asvay. The old dame suddenly assumed a comical expression, and touched a door in another clay bank which revealed about a thousand million black and brown beetles, who seemed to have finished their winter naps/ and were at work on little anvils, sharpening their antennae, and making hooks to their claws, while glow worms and fire flies furnished heat in the forges. Just beyond an archway was seen an equally interesting sight, crickets making little shrill pipes to wear under their waistcoats; and tooting now and then to test the sounds, while an old patriarch in wig and spectacles kept striking a tun-ing-fork across one of his long legs, holding it high in air, that all might get “the pitch.” In another department beautiful green locusts were manufacturing buzzes, and katydids and didn’ts were having rehearsals, in view of a tour of summer concerts. How strange it all seemed! Charlie thought this quite equal to Alice’s Wonderland. The old lady was evidently satisfied with his interest, and hurried him out. “I like you, my boy,” said she, when the door was again shut, “you’d please my husband; he says nobody is successful in any great enterprise who has a glib tongue. Now look this way.” Charlie did look, and heard and saw—what?—a noise like the roar of Niagara, and a dense black cloud. What was it? He turned just a trifle pale for a minute, till the old lady suddenly caught hold of his hand, and. little as she was, pulled him in a twinkling outside and shut the door.

“What’s that tremendous noise?” said Charlie, as soon as he could get his breath. “Mosquitoes blowing their horns,” said the old dame. “Don’t be afraid, they can’t follow us. They make an awful lot of trouble, though, they’re so fierce and crafty. I don’t see how Noah ever managed to have ’em in the ark; the dragon flies and darning needles and June bugs and gnats aren’t any trouble at all compared to mosquitoes. But would you like to see the millers aud butterflies?” Charlie looked his delight for an answer, but when they reached the archway the old lady sjvung back a thick velvet curtain and Charlie saw only a great heap of gold dust—something that looked like a quiver standing by itself full of gossamer-thread brushes, and an immense paieive uu w.- a.— > with the most brilliant colors. He turned to see where the butterflies were when the bld lady pointed to what looked Very much like a stack of bayonets. A second glance revealed bushes, tree branches, old stumps aud bits of fence rail, each one holding its brown cocoon containing the little light-winged insect, whose wings were being slowly painted in the splendid colors of the palette. It was so still there, it seemed like a place of death, and Charlie didn’t care to stay long, so they went away to a new spot where he was shown through the icy walls of a mill-pond, and saw the frogs squatting on the mud and looking as stony and dead as Egyptian sphinxes. Charlie laughed over these, and then asked what her scissors were for; the little old woman began to laugh too, and asked if he was afraid of bears.

Stepping into a little elevator balloon which seemed to have been waiting on purpose, they had a three-minutes’ ride and landed in the heart of an old Norway forest. The trees were immense, and Charlie looked up at them in wonder. Suddenly he heard a low growl, and there, close by him, was the old dame standing on a big snowball and clipping the claws of a big bear. Charlie was much frightened, but the creat - lire never moved till she was done, when somehow the bear stepped backward to the hollow trunk of the nearest tree, and, with a couple of growls, curled herself up, put her paws into her mouth, and was asleep in a wink. “Now you know what my scissors are for, don’t you? I have my hands full, you see, looking after all the earth’s creatures. Toward spring I haven’t a minute of rest; every time there’s a thaw or a warm day or two, the busy creatures think winter’s over, and I have hard times to keep them from destruction. Only last night one of my bats got out and flew away somewhere, I’m afraid he’ll die of cold if I can’t find him.” “I know ! I know ! ” cried Charlie. “He flew into our house after tea ; but James thought he got into the barn. He won’t die there, will he ? ” “No, but I’ll see after him to-mor row. Now won’t you come home with me to dinner ? Our dining-room is on Mount Hecla, in Iceland. You’ll be quite cozy and warm there. Let me see, I have a bill of fare in my pocket.” Sure enough she produced a card, which she politely handed to Charlie. It was a square piece of brown whale skin, bordered with tiny white shells, and ®n it was written : Auk’s egg-shell soup. Frozerf whale, with icicle celery. Seal, with stuffed walrus joints. “Bonnie clabber,’’ with cracked ice and snow • powder. Cream ice, flavored with cod-liver oil. Ginger ice snaps. Iced jelly, with—

Before Charlie had time to read it all. through, the old lady continued : “If you come it will give us pleasure to show you over Aurora Borealis’ picture gallery, the most famous in the world, and perhaps my husband, if ha is not too busy, will take you through his ice capital, the very heart of the Arctic regions. But if he once sees you I know he will want to adopt you as his own son and keep you always in his metropolis, the heart of the frozen lands. How would you like that ? ” “Oh, no, thank you—l mean—you’re very kind, but I’d rather not leave papa, and—” He was just going to say “ mamma,” but a great crash roused him from his strange dream. For a few minutes all was confusion ; he couldn’t tell whether he was in Norway with the bear or really on MountTHecla, or in that ice palace of the Winter King. But he felt very cold. It was scarcely daybreak. Nurse, startled by the slamming blind, had opened the window to fasten it. One or two embers only glimmered from the grate. Charlie rubbed his eyes and looked round. No little lady in red petticoat with tinkling bells was to be seen. Nurse stirred the fire into a ruddy glow, came and tucked up her little invalid, and then lay down for one more nap on her own bed. Ohwlie dreamed no more pf King

Winter’s Hic6 little wife, but he told mamma all about it next day, ana wrote it down to entertain some other little invalid. _____

USEFUL HINTS.

Starch paste, a little thicker than for clothes, is the best for fastening paper loosened from the walls. When vou begin cleaning house take the upper rooms first. Take things easy—a room a day. The work will last longer, to be sure, and so will you. In frying cakes when yott take them out of the fat lay them on a Clean piece of coarse brown paper. The paper will absorb much of the lard. To Hang Brooms.- —A large picturering screwed into the top of the handle, is the nicest thing made by which to hang up a broom. A strong screw with a small head should be place! in the wall at a proper height to receive iU • To Remove Stains. —A little saleratus rubbed on, with the finger or a bit of linen, will remove stains from cups and other articles of table ware. It will also remove spots from marbleized oilcloths, and many stains-from tinware. ■For pin-cushions in daily use the heip-stitched and fringed doyleys of momie cloth, either white or gray, embroidered in outline stitch in English silks are used; the designs are usually humorous, and, if original, so much the better. The desirability of such covers lies, of course, in the fact that they can often be washed. Have You a Scrap-Book?—Every farmer should keep a book in which to paste agricultural scraps. Every one in reading a paper will see a number of things he will wish to remember, lie will perhaps see suggestions of value which he will desire to test, or hints which he will desire to be governed by in future operations, and yet, after reading the paper he will throw it down and probably never see it again. In such a case all the valuable articles will be lost. To prevent such a loss, every reader should clip from the papers such articles as he desires to preserve and remember, aud paste them in a scrap-book. Such a book at t|je end of a year or two will be very interesting and valuable. Counterpane and Shams in (>razy Stitch. —To work in “ Crazy stitch” tne stitches must be an inch in length and of different colors, no two stitches of the same shade being allowed to touch. Use as many needles as you have colors, do not fasten your stitches, but leave halfinch ends to each thread on the under side where they must be touched with thick gum to secure them. It is not absolutely necessary that your pillow covers and sheet overlay should be made of new material. The corners of linen sheets, that have become worn in the middle, will last a very long time, as they do not need frequent washing. If you like colors on your bed you can make a border of colored stripes edged with lace and put in around the center of linen, taking off the border when the center is washed. Cleaning Black Silk.—The Parisian method of cleaning black silk is a great improvement over any other known. It is as follows : The silk must be thoroughly brushed and wiped with a cloth, then laid flat on a board or table, and well sponged with hot coffee, thoroughly freed from sediments by being strained through muslin. The silk is sponged on the side intended to show; it is allowed to become partially dry, aud then ironed on the wrong side. The coffee removes every particle of grease, and restores the brilliancy of silk without imparting to it either the shiny appearance or crackly or paper stiffness obtained by beer, or indeed any other The silk really appears thickened by the process, ana Inin gooff effect is permanent. Our readers who will experiment on an apron or a cravat will never again try any other method.

Another Iowa Cyclone.

Independence, lowa, was visited by a devastating hurricane on the afternoon of Juno 21. The day had been a most oppressive one. At 4:30 p. m. rain began to fall, the wind at that time blowing briskly from the southwest. In a few minutes another current seemed to come from the northwest, and they met near Independence. Suddenly it grew dark, and the people were wild with fright. The citizens nearly all went into their cellars, hut there were thousands of country people in the city, who had come in to see Sells’ circus, and they not only filled the stores but lined the streets. The darkness did not last long, but an opening appeared in the clouds, and at that spot there were rapidly changing colors of purple, pale green and other colors, and that seemed to be almost directly over the city. It was then the hurricane commenced, and the time of the destruction was not over three minutes. The scene was one of the wildest con fusion and terror. Houses were picked up and dashed to the ground, demolishing them as badly as were those at Grinnell. Hoofs, boxes, boards and gravelstones were flying promiscuously through the air. Wagons wore overturned and demolished, horses were running away and becoming entangled in the telephone wires that had been thrown to the ground, and everything seemed to be in chaos. There were nearly twenty-five houses completely wrecked and more than that number of barns, while of those that were damaged from SSO to *IOO each there were over 100 houses and as many barns. Hundreds were unroofed, or partially so, had their windows broken and were damaged by falling trees. Cellars wore generally chosen by the residents as places of refuge, but the rural visitors took shelter at the most convenient places. The deathswill number four, and the. damage to property will approximate $175,000. There were many miraculous escapes, and the only wonder is that more lives were not lost. The citizens of Lswa now anxiously watch for the appearance of the ominous black clouds.

Immediate Belief.

Col. W. Halbert is notoriously poor pay. A few days ago he entered a drug store on Austin avenue, and asked for a bottle of Dr. McFraud’s Kidney Encourager. The clerk, who had been informed that all the bad debts contracted ■would be deducted from his monthly stipend, produced the bottle. “Do you think,” said Col. Halbert, reaching out for the bottle, “ that one bottle will relieve me of my discouraged kidneys?” “Yes,” responded the clerk, still holding on to the bottle, “I know it will relieve you right off. It will relieve you of $1 in cash before you get out of the store with it.” The Colonel groaned, and, remarking that the remedy was worsa than the disease, took his discouraged kidneys to the next drug store for relief.— Texas Siftings. The New York Times' funny man thinks that flies now subsist on sugar .and baldheaded men, which, with a little patience, we might induce to live exclusively on caterpillars and English sparrows,

DE LONG’S SAD FATE.

T lie Discovery and Burial of the Bodies of the Brave Lieutenant and His Fellow-Explorers—They Were Found UnderJEight Feet of Snow. The New York Herald correspondent, with the steamer Rodgers, sends the following dispatch from the Lena Delta, under date of April 12: Melville found the bodies of DeLong’s party March 23. They were in two places, 500 and 1,000 yards from the wreck of the scow. Melville’s'seal ch party first started from the supply depot [here two words are unintelligible] to follow the Nindermen route from'Usterday to Walvev, and afterward from Walvey back toward Usterday. [The following sentence is again unintelligible.] They stopped at the place which Ninderman and Noros passed the first day after they left De Long, feeling sure that the others had not got much further. There they found the wreck, and. following along the bank, they came upon ajifle-barrel hung upon four sticks. [Here six words - —u»taJli<ahhs.l Jlhev,set,„tha,,natives digging on each side or rne sucks, and thqy soon came upon two bodies under eiglit feet of snow. While these men were digging toward the east Melville went on along the bank twenty feet above the river, to find a place to take bearings. He then saw a camp-kettle and the remains of a fire about a thousand yards from a tent, and, approaching, nearly stumbled upon DeLong’s hand sticking out of the snow about thirty feet from the edge of the bank. Here, under about a foot of snow, they found the bodies of DeLong and Ambler about three feet apart, and Ah Sam lying at their feet, all partially covered by pieces' of tent and a few pieces of blanket. AU others except Alexia they found at the place where the tent was pitched. Lee and Knack were close by in a cleft in the bank toward the west Two boxes of records, with the medicine chest and a flag on a staff were beside the tent. None of the dead had boots. Their feet were covered with rags, tied on. In the pockets of all were pieces of burnt skin and of clothing which they had eaten. * The hands of all were more or less burnt, and it looked as if when dying they had crawled into the lire, Boyd lying over the fire and his clothing being burned through to the skin, which was not burned. Collins’ face was covered with cloth. All the bodies were carried to the top of a hill 200 feet high, about forty versts to the southwest from where they were found, and there interred in a mausoleum constnitcod of wood from the scow, built in the form of a pyramid twenty-two feet long and seven high, surmounted by a cross twenty-two feet high and a foot square, hewn out of drift wood and conspicuous at a distance of twenty versts. The mausoleum was covered with ■stones, and is to be sodded in the spring. The cross is inscribed with the record and names of the dead, cut in by the search party* At ter completing the tomb the party separated to search the della for traces of Chipp’a people. Melville went to the northwest part of the delta, and west as far as the Oierek river. Ninderman took the center and Bartlett the northeast. Nmdermau and Bartlett found nothing. MelvUle has not yet returned.

The Telegraph in America.

The first telegraph line in operation was between Paddington and Drayton, in England, in 1835, and was thirteen miles in length. Prof. Morse, on March 3, 1842, was voted an appropriation of $30,000 by Congress for the purpose of establishing an experimental line. The appropriation was made on the last night of the session. The lino was erected b* tween Washington and Baltimore, and the first message sent May 27, 1844. By the reports of October, 1881, the following will show the number of miles of telegraph in the United States at that time: Miles of Miles oj Company. Line. Wire. Western Unionllo,3lo 327,171 Mutual Union 1,800 50,(.'00 Baltimore and Ohio railroad.... 2,500 16,000 American Rapid Telegraph Company’ 500 1,5)0 International Ocean (inland).... 502 574 The aggregate mileage of telegraph lines in the United States open for public business exceeds 120,000 miles, beside railway, Government, private and telephonic lines, length not ascertainable.

Protect the Women.

Naturally pale invalids can be greatly improved in health and appearance, the mind and body strengthened by using Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. It brightens the eyes, gives rosy cheeks, and creates a perfect picture of health, strength, and beauty. It is woman’s best friend for relieving the many weaknesses incidental to female life. If you are risk, nervous, and debilitated, or suffer from dyspepsia, it will surely cure you. Ask your druggist to get it for you. A young man in a train was making fun of a lady’s hat to an elderly gentleman in the seat with him. “ Yes,” said his seat-mate, “that’s my wife, and I told her if she wore that bonnet that some fool would make fun of it.” The young man slid out. At the next station the old man poured out his hot coffee into the saucer to cool. “Look, ma,” said a snickering girl “ at that oldfashioned way of drinking.” “Yes,” said the elderly gentleman, “and it was old-fashioned manners not to notice it” The elderly gentleman finished his journey in peace.Mb. Samuel A. Denton, of Lebanon, 0., writes : “My wife has for years been a great sufferer from female diseases. Her health was very poor, and her blood full of impurities. She complained of pains about the loins and back ; and would sometimes keep her bed for days., I gave her Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, which helped her greatly from the start and now I never saw her skin so fair, her lips so rod, or her cheeks so rosy. She attends to her housework herself now, and I never hear her complain. ”

Lovett, Watseka, HL One ought not to make an assertion unless he is sure of his facts, and yet an inference is anmetimes reasonably safe.

Making Money with Small Capital.

Ctitainly the most favorable opportunity for tho»e who desire o speculate in grain, provisions or stocks, wth sn.jill or medium amounts, is offered by the mutual co-operation funds, opera ed by the well-known, reliable commission house of Flemming & Merriam, of Chicago. The success of these funds has been eminent, and the one they are now operating has paid its shareholders handsome monthly dividends during the past year. It secures all the advantages gained by experience, capital and perfect knowledge of the business. This firm also buy and sell for customers grain, . provisions and stock on margins, and deal in bonds and other investment securities. An ingenious way that people have devised in Germany of avoiding bother by begging tramps is to put up placards on doors and in corridors announcing the premises to be the residence or office of a detective or police commissioner. These sign boards are said to act like a charm. - The Weekly Avunculator thought it mighty mean for the Daily Scissors to copy the former’s news item without credit, and said so in type. The editor of the Scissors thereupon apologized. He said he had printed the item out of pure kindness. There was news in it, and he supposed the editor of the Avunciilalor would be glad to 1 ave the news reach the people.—Boston Transcript.

William J.Coughlin,of Somerville, Mum., say*: In th* fall of 1876 I was taken with bleeding of the lunge, followed by a severe cough. I lost my appetite and flewh, and was confined to my bed. In 1877 I was admitted to the hospital. The doctors said I had a hole in my lunga* big as a hall dollar. At one time a report went around that I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of Du.
