I know I could get it if I had the silks, for I've vot a real inuniac idea about one. Bat, gracious me! nobody von't give you no .scraps now a day?, and as for bayin 'em, I oa'd noin-more afford It than a jec I've ot sewin' silks enough. Saruanthy Sprig-s. the drees maker that bearded, used to throw her eii da of spool? and ekeinsiuto a paper flj, that the hit when she got married. Said I might haTe 'era, but I can't get pieces. "Well, I've got to giye it up, that's all ; though H would give n e church clothes this fill." Poor llias Keziah was old and plain and poor, and her houe was not w ill furnished or her style elegant Professor Vernon boarded with her out cf pure charity, for he might have lived where he chese. Bat Miss Keziah did her best to make him comfortable and be Knew that now all the anmmer boarders had left her he stood between the little household and starvation. There w&9 a little boy to ba taken care cf, MUs Kezlah'g ranl nephew and the little house tood cn half an acre ot ground which tore iiothkg but old fahioned flowers md an aLC ent grare vine that gave promise cf plenty vrv summer, but was giyen over to evil ruinced worms long before autumn 'Ihe proffjsor sat eating his breakfast aa he old lady talked, and, bein a kindbtartrd fellow, with a iel friendship for the 1 hot old woman, be pi d attention to every "ed rbe fa;d "Thinps dj Lappen belter than we expect, Mis Kiziah." he said, "I'erhapa yoa might n,r:8e to do it, aitpr all." Hot pcor c'd Keiiab shock her head, and he raw her wipe away a tear with the corner of her apron as she turned away; and it occurred to him that men had accomplished much mote hopelf si things than the procurir:r of bits of silk for a crazy quilt. A woman would have known that they canld be bought, but he, being a man, did not know how or where a number ot small pieces of aricus colors might be procured. He knew enough of crazy quilt3 to see that these were rece?ary. and he pondered lorj and deeply. Finally. h went to his room and brought down two cravats, a bins and a pearl color, hud laid th?ni on the old lady's apron, as tl fit shelling pf as on the doorstep. "Would that sort of cilk do?" he asked. "Yoa cm fcave thfse." Oh, how lovely! ' said Miss Keziah. "Jost perfect; but don't you deprive yourself? No? Well, thank you. I'll get a bit of black, and start eort of pretend to myself I'll he v rxore anyway." Ar.d the prcfessor, with a smile, caught i:p Lfa hat and started for the college. On tbe way he purchased a box of delicite note t aper and envelope, and in a cosy den of his own at the college sat down and omicsed the following billet: I must, of cenrse, conceal my name and give you no clue to my identtty. You will see that when you have read what I am about to write. 1 am a young lady of seventeen, b longing to a family of high social position: and I may sav, viince you do not know me, that I am not only rich but handsome. I have had many oßers, but ince I have seen yoa I can thiuk of no one else. Your ap(arance. your manner, the intelligence of your iouutcnnce,all tnrill my very soul, and I think of yoa eight and day. It 1 foolish, perhaps, bnt I lone frr somethlnz you have worn to treasure next my heart as a mister treasures Lis sold. You wore on one occasion a cravat of delicate tint that became yon weil. Wilt you send me that? You can not dream wr at It will be to have It for ray own myvey o-.n. Yourf ever unknown, but ever lovin. AdJres I-, PcttoSIce. Having manifolded this letter, the proff?or addrefsfd one to every stndent In the college and arrahged for their delivery, and waited results. They were intisfsciory. A flash of tickled vonity rested on the cheek of every youth under the academic roof that day. The bait was swaüowtd. The little boy who was employed for the nurpoie brought a bagful of envelope to the professor each evening fjr three days. He opentd them in hia room. Each contained a leve letter, more or less tender, vivacion? or sentimental, according to the haractcr cf the writer, and a brand new cravat, of delicate color, seduously rumpled a little to appear to have been worn. Many closed photographs and b?ei aa interview. Sop'ft professed to remember " that irvely face," to feel eure tey knew it well. Tbe professor packed asvay the letters and i hctcpraphs, and took tht? cravats to Mi?a Kttiah. 'The collie boys sent vou these. Will the r do?" he aid. "Do!" crifd Uhu Keziah. Why, they rre tesclilui: I c-tildn't dream of nothin' n ore scothin' than tbe colors I can't believe I m awake. Ob, them good young men! A!ay they ;-et all the first przs and honors! And as for jon. leave them cravats at the .vales of the Jswn. and you'll pet let in. J Lej3'j h soedcesa in this that I ain't got no ucrdsfor. WhoIse would catp whether a ,VOCr old maid old enough to be hi san'ma hid nothin' or Lot? Don't yer think I'd or'treoupto say I'm obleetd at the colJfjeV" "They don't admit ladies; but I'll tike venr mesiefc," said the professor. Thatevtniiif; he enjoyed himself greatly nver tie Irttcrs and photographs while old Kfziab.with dovedike xuuriuers of joy, densrctd her crszy qnills 1'very one has some talent; Mias Ktziah's certainly wm for quilts, the concocted of the delxate cravats a very marvel of beauty that reminded one of I be leaves o! wild flowers cast d iwa tOe?h?r. $he had tbe advantage, of rerfect material; end at lt, wr.en the exhibits a ere presented to the committee, and she laid hers upon the table it iccked really lovely amongst tn caruh colors ot its rivals. Miss Kez?ah had never had a triumph in all her life before, but now ehe heard praises cf her quilt in ali directions; and the profeaor one rrornicc brought hr a local paper, In which appeared a paragraph to the following effect: ' The mcst admired of all the exhibits at r ur crpat fair is a crary quilt, the work of Miss Keziah Prudent, an old resident in our town. It Is certain to take tbe prize.'1 Uis Ktz iah pasted this notice on a card, nd framed it in a litte rustic frama. N'o

operatic soprano ever rejoiced more utterly in her press notioes. And, moreover, an offer was mads for her quilt. "Would ehe sell it for $100? wrote the committee. "If I was rich I'd never rart with it," said poor Keziah to tbe professor. "I'd keep it tor remembrance of you and them good young men." lint the professor told her that they would rejoice in her good luck, and she wrote a trembling conseat to the sale, blotted with Uars of happiness. The prize waa hers. When tbe fair was closed she held in her hand f 12Ö, and in her heart the happiness that a little nutter of tickled vanity must give one unused to it. Moreover, she had several orders tor quilts from wealthy ladies, who had desired to bay tbe original, and the professor's idea bad rtally made her life easier. Beeides, now that Mus Keziah Prudent had become a little famous, one or two boarders tame to occupy hr vacant r jom. That crazv quilt was a pivot on w'jich fortune tnrnul for the mild old woman. The Professor kept his counsel, enjoyei his laugh alone, and was not spiteful. Nobody ever made any confidences concerning tlaose letters, except young Grub. Yoang Grnb was plain, and not vain, and very fond of the professor. Before he left college they supped together, aud afterward sat emoking in the moonlight on a balcony. It was a romantic moment. "Professor Vernon," said young Grub, "if I tell you something, you'll not laughat nie? ' "Uh, no," said the 17o?es-or. 'It's foolish," said Grnb. "Yoa know I'm an awfully ugly fellow, rough ad all that , no hero for a love tale but I hav one. Do vou know a girl has fallen ia love with me? Could nny one Delievd it? A haLthome girl. I never saw her. I'd give my life to lid her. I'd worship the ground ehe trod c:.. Sae wrcte to ask me for a cravat I bad worn, to treasure. Really, I'm ashamed to 1 1-1 1 you; but if any one writes to ak Lere Orlando Grab has gone, you'll trive n y address. I'd come from the end of the wjrl.l. She wouldn't tell her name." "Ojtddn't you know, m modesty," said the I'")fe-sor. "iN.i," said Grub. "She might have trusted me. I'm &o thankful for a little love; it's not a- it is with a lady's man. Well, I suppose I'll never meet her." "The wnrkl is a small placs, after all. Meet people meet You mavhave met the writer of that letter without knowing it." "No," said Grub, eoltly. "No; I should have kr own her." The Professor would cot have told him the truth for all the world, nor did he feel like smilirg when on psrting Grub said: "You know I shall be happier all my life for ttat letter. I did not think anyone cculd like me."

No one who ha9 once used a covered ran for fowls will do without one in the future. Especially is this the case in raising young chickfiis. After one has onca tried raising them beneath cover he will not know bow they ever did without one. The simple fact that it not only furnishes a protection from storms, but also an immunity from hawks anil vermin, is sufficient argument in th6ir favor; jet we think the greatest reason why every poultry man should provide one for his youDg fowls is because papea do not trouble them, and tbey have not to track through the cold, wet dew, aftar a hungry moiher, and perish from the effects. Although this is ona of tbe best things in a poultry yard, unit's strict cleanline is oUf rved it will fce the ruin cf any iLck of bircs.

EXPLANATORY.

Card From the Officers of the Rashvtlle Freb)terlan Charch. Blshvillx. Feb. 4 We, the stated supply and officers of the Presbyterian Church in Kcshville, assembled to take action concerning a publication in the Indianapolis Sentinel of Saturday, January 21, lSe3, in which it is stated that Rev. James D. Thomas was dismissed from the charge of thia church, under the head of "Democratic Divine Dismissed," and that the reasan or ground of that so called dismissal was political, request that you, the editor of the Sentinel, gire place to the following In yjur paper: 1. We jointly assert that said action wai taken in compliance with a request fom Kev. J. D. Thomas, and was not a disruaa but simply an expression of the opinion o' the clhcers cf the church upon qutton touching tbe interests of Kev. J. D. Thomas and tbe Church. 2. We further assert that this action was of a private character and intended only to be conveyed to Rev. J. D Thomas as a matter of opinion and advice on subjects on which he had sought said advice, and that it was not tajed upoa political grounds. We deem the publication of this card simple justice to both parties. Neither Rev. J. D. Thomas nor the officers of this church desire to have tbe private matters afTfCtin: 6 bis interests or those of the church discussed In the public cress, and particularly do we detm It harmful to him as a minister of the Gospel to be published as in any sene allied to politic?, thereby causing his d'soiissa from cbnrch relations, and harmful to the cbmcb to publieh it as so allied to any political interest or opinion as to cause the church to dismiss a minuter upou such grounds. James D. Thomas, S. S, William A. Push, Clerk of Session. John Carmkhaei, ) V. B. Bo DINK Committtee. The militia fCommunlcated.l The fundamental principle of our system of government, in regard to military aCTalr?, is epposition to regular, standing armies, and dependence upoa organized, disciplined militia. Upon this principle our Government was organised, ana it re3ta securely upon it to-day. It is one of the essential attributes of free governments. Our fathers regarded standing armies as menaces to liberty, and the militia a? the natural bulwark of our country. Upon this policy our fathers were not divided, aud all parties vied with each ctl er ia support of it. As to this they were ell Federalists and all Republicans. It has always been an article of faith in the creed of the Democratic party. Jefferson, in his first inaugural promulgated ihe Democratic faith, and his utterances upon that cccasion have been he'd to be the test of Democracy ever since by his followers. In that address he stated what he "defined the essential principles of our Governrne3" and among them he said was "a we 1 disciplined militis, our best reliance in petce and for the first moments of war. till regulars may elieve them." Madison, in his inaugural, announced "the sentiments and intentions" which should govern his administration, and one ot them was "to keep within the requisite limit? a standby military force, alvraya remcmbering that an armed and trained militia is tbe firmest bulwark of republics." The fecond amendment o our Constitution, which was submitted by the First Congress, embodies this principle: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be Infringed." (Article 2 ) These are the teachings of tbe fathers. And so we have no regular army. What is called such is but the shadow of a name. For its military powers the Government depends absolutely upon the militia. Our country stands alone among the great National powers; in this regard. Our country alone presents the eplendid spectacle of a strong Government without a standing army. Under our system it is the implied duty of every Sate to have an organize!, disciplined militia. Such a militia is an element of that eternal vigilence which is said to be the price of liberty. A State that reglects to provide for such a militia is derelict alike in its duty to itself and to tbb Nation. It is a wisdom to prepare for war in times of peace. Proper precaution is rne of tbe best security e gainst war. Knowledge of our military prowess by other powers may often avert war. There should be no jealousy or fear of our militia. There is no Carger to liberty or good covernmeut ficm our militia. Who are they? They are onr sons, our brother, our neighbors, oar fellow citizens. They are of th bone and sinew of the State. Their interests are the tome as the interests of all good citizens. They are besides under the control of the officers of the State, elected by the people. Tbe question of the militia Is entirely outside the domain of politics. It is a question of government. According to the spirit of our institutions, the rrilitia is lot and part of the Government itself. The duty of the Slate to rroperly provide for th organization and discipline of its militia is clear. Provident preparations is tbe mother of satety, and parsimony is not economy. Makio.w February 4. Baked Pork and Beans. Soak one quart of pea beans in cold water over night. In the morning put them in fresh cold water, and simmer them poft enough to pierce with apm, being careful not To let them boil enough to break. If joa like, bod one onion with them WThen soft, turn thsaa into a cclander and pour cold water through them. Place them with the onion in a beau pot; pour boiling water over one-quarter of a pcund of salt pork, part fat and part lean; fcrare the rind till white; cat the rind in balf-inch stripes; bury the pork in the beins. leaving only the rind expos d; mix one teaSLConful of salt and oee teapoDnfal of mustard with one-quarter of a cup of molasses; fill the cup with hot water, aud when well miiedpoir it over the bams: aid enough more water to cover them; keep them covored with water until the last hour; then lift the oirk to the surface and let it crisp. Bike eight hours in a moderate oven. Use more salt and one-third of a cap of butter if yon dislike pork, or use half a pound of fat and lean corded beef. The mustard gives the beans a delicious flavor, and also renders them more wholesome. Many add a teaspeenful of soda to the water in which the beans are boiled to destroy the acid in the kin of the beans. Y'ellow ejed beans and lirra beans are also good when baked. Much of the excellence of baked beans depsnds upon the bean pot It should be earthen with a narrow month and bulging sides. This shape is seldom found outside o! New Bngland, and is said to have been modeled after the Assyrian pota. In spits of the slurs against Boston baked beans," it is often remarked tbat strangers enjoy them as much as natives; and many a New England bean pot has been carried to the exterme South and West, that people misht have "biksd

beans" In perfectfon. They afford a nutritious ard cheap food for people who labjr in the OLen a r.

Less frtjle Would Do. Chicago Tlmts.l Mr. Bayard is too poor to accept a position in the Cabinet paying 3,00) a year, it is eaid, because the style that a Cabinet officer puts on eats np the salary and more too. This difficulty might be met if Cabinet orliceis would refuse to put on tbe style. The public is not lorjping for "style" half so much as lor wise and prudent atatejmenship. Mr. D.J. Scott, Brideewater, N. Y., writes to the Husbandman that about fifteen years ago be transplanted huckleberries, of bjth the high and the low kinds, from a cold, wet swamp to a dry, irravelly soil, where thy have grown taller than ia their native spot, tnd troduce lar?erand more abundant b-irie?. He says: "Set out youn? plait, ab.ut a foo: high in the spring. Mulch ttem for a year or two. and plow in oaae ccarfe horse manure cccasionally. Taev are slow to start, but aftr tbey are started thev prow rapidly, bath in bush aud berry. Tbe tushes msy te cultivated with a horse. Thev sbould be set at least seven feet apart each way, as they spread considerably when full prown. It is well to eet three or four small bushes in each hill." Irascible Invalids. Ycur peevish, fietful people are usually out ot health. They lack vigor and digest ill. After all, though their ptevkhnets is aanoyine, we should net t e inconsiderate of Its cause feblo health.

Sound digestion is surely a bhssiu? worth secur log in itsel'. and I's valoe is enhanced by the fct that through it reive quietude is attainable.

Lledlcal practitioners commend and -..-tor it. " Therefore the moon, the (rovornpps r,t fllfl, I'ale in hfr anirer. waches all th'air.
