J l J 1 j -ir i . uug iwiu iu a uuiei in iew iura; a yuuu la Jy was sitting in ua easy chair before a blar'cg tire one dreary November afternoon. At !ast the door opened and a tall, axiato"Harry, what a long time you hate been !" she cried, springing tip from her Beat. "What news haye yon brought? What does your father say about our our marriage?" hesitating at the last words "Itfad for yourself, Helen," replied her leaning opposite to her against the mantelpiece be watched, her as ehe read: "Jn marrying as you nave done you have cted in direct opposition to my Tvishea, From this day ycu are no longer my son, and I now wash my Lands of voa forever ii 'Harry, why did you not tell me of this before?" exclaimed Helen, as she read the cold, cruel words, loofeiDj? up through her tears into her husband's tece. "My darling, what was there to tell? How cculd I know my father would act in this nara-cearieu manner? isai, my love, ne continued more seriously, ' there is an end to our shopping excursion int3 Broadway. You will have to do withant diamonds, no that your husband is a penniless outcast instead of the heir to twenty thousand a . "Hush. Harry; don't talk lite that," she raid, worried at his hitter tone. "Yon know that it was net of diamonds or dresses that I at thinking But what are you going to do?'' laying her band on his arm and looking up sadly into his palp, dad face. "You can not work fcr a living " "And why not work f jr a liTiog?" he exclaimed in a determined voice. Because I happen to be a millionaire's eon, brought up without any knowledge of basinees. But I will work for my living aDl chow my wife tbat I am not unworthy of the CDnhdect she placed in me," and he stooped and kissed her eoftly. It was while pursuing his jtadies In oil paintin? tbat Harry Marston wooed and -wou Helen Tracy, a governess in an English family, and an orphan daughter of an ollicer in the army. Their new home, consisting of three rooms in a house cn a dirty East bide street, was very different from the grand old mansion where he had hoped to take his brids, but he set to work cheerfully at h;s favorite art and tried hard to earn a living by painting portraits. Thia he found very soon was by no means an easy matter. At last, one dreary afternoon, when Harry was titling in the dreary little room ho called his studio, trying to devise some scheme to repleni?h his slender purse, the servant ushered in a white haired old man. Placing a chair by the fire for his visitor, .Harry inquired his business. "Yon are a portrait painter, I believe, sir?" said the old gentleman, looking at him through his gold-rimmed spectacles. "That ia my profession, sir," said Harry, delighted at the' thought of haying found a commission at last. Well, sir, I want you to paint the portrait -of mv daughter." "With pleasure, sir," said Harry, eagerly. "When can the lady give me the firs: sitting?" "Alas, sir, she is dead dead to me these twenty yeare, and I killed her. . I broke her htart with my sslfshnew ani cruelty," exclaimed the old man in a trembling, excited 70ice. A strange chill came over Harry as the idea tbat his visitor might ba an escaped lunatic crossed his mind. Mastering his emotion at last the stranger .laid : "Pardon me, young sir. This is of no interest to you. My daughter is dead and I want yoa to paint her portrait from my description, as I perfectly well remember her twenty years ago." "I will do my best, sir; but it is by no means an easy task, and you must be prepared for many disappointments," said Harry, when, ha ring given a minute description of his lost daughter, the old man rose to depart. For weeks Harry worked incessantly on the portrait of the dead girl, making aketch -after sketch, each of which was rejected by the remorse stricken father, until the work began to possess a singular facination to htm, aid he sketched face after fsce, as if under a spell. At last, one even in sr. wearied with a day of fruitless exertion, he was sitting over the fire watching his wife, who was busy with some dainty needlework, when an idea suddenly Sashed upon him. tlTall, fair, with cDlden hair and dark blue eyes! Way, Helen, it is the yery picture of yourieif. he cried, starting to his feet ana taking his wife's sweet face between his two bands. Without lesieg a moment he eat down and commenced to sketch Helen's face, aril when his ra'ron called the next morning he was io buily engaged in putting the finishing touches to the portrait that he did cot hear him enter the roam, and worked on for some moments unconscious of his presence until with a cry of "Helen, my daughter!" the eld man hurried him ajide and stood entranced bar ore the picture After gazing for some moments In silence enly broken by his suppressed sobs, the old rxan turned to Harry and asked him in an eater voice where he had obtained the origi ralof tb pictuie. "It ia the portrait of my wife," said he. Y'öur wife, sir! Who was she? Pardon ma far sskins the Question," he added; "but I have heard lately that my poor Helen left an orrban daughter, and for a year I have been searching for her, hoping to atone for the wrone I did her mother. Harry was beginning to tell him the story of how he met Helen, when the door opened and his wife entered the room. Perceivinc that her husband was engaged she was about to retire when the old man stopped her reanectfullr. "Pardon n. Madam." he said, "but would you tell me your mother's maiden came

"Helea Treherne," said Harry's wife, wonderinsly. "I knew it I knew it!" eiclaimed the old man in an excited voice. "At last I have fennd the child of my long lost daughter." In a few words he explained how he had rest ciF his daughter twenty years ao far havicg married a poor officer, and refused even to open her letters in which she Deged forgiveness. "But, tbank heaven!" he said, when he had finished his sad story, "I can in one way atone for my harsbne. to my Helen by takine her Helen to my heart and making her my daughter." It is n eales to add that when the millionaire heard tbat his foa had marrie 1 the beirtsa of one of the iicest estates in the country he at onctj wrote a letter of reconciliation to Harry. 6o, after all. HeTen became the mistress of Marston Hall, in the picture eal'ery of which tlere i ro pair-ting so hizhly valu-ii as "The Mysterious Portrait." Karly Chicken. Rural New Yorker. These who raise poultry for home use or market are already thinking of the tiuify balls tbat are to be liberated from numberless eggs as the spring advances. It is very important tbat such chicks as are intended for early marketing be hatched early, and given such care as will keep them growing and vigorous until ready to ba killed. When hens are to be set early, there will be need of care in gathering the eggs, so that they will not get chilled; the nests must be watched, and the eggs brought in as soon as laid, and kept from chilling until Leeded. When hens are tet in March, it is well to put only nine eggs under each, for if a larger number is used, the hen can not keep the in warm. The nests for setting hens should be placed where they will be undisturbed; and if in boxes, earth covered with straw makes a good nest. The eggs may need sprinkling with tepid water during the last week of incubation, as xnoistcre as well as warmth is a necessiry factor i.i the hatching. When hatched, the broods ran be doubled up, giving all the chicks from two hens to one. The to early broods should have a coop with r sunny exposure, and, if possible, inclose on the couth by glass, and if the nights are co d the coops should be covered with old carpetings or rugs. I have known a brood ro protected to be buried in a deep fall of snow and suffer no harm. The first twenty-four hours after the chickens leave the shell they are nourished by the yelk of the egg from which they have come. Ax the end of this time they should be fed bread crumbs or cornmeal rubbed up with a hardboiled egg, giving them this for eight cr ten days. They should be fed as often as once in two or three hours; but the feed should not be left in the coops to sour or to be trampled by the little chickens. Chicks hatched so early, before the gras starts, will need green food. Lettuce, cats and grass can, be grown in a box in a sunny window, and cabbage, sweet apples and onions, chopped, will ba reliahed by tbem. The coop will not bs large enough to give them the exercise needed, and a small, sunny, sheltered yard will be necessary. Here they shouid be provided with plenty of fine gravel. As they grow larser give them barley, oats and bran, moistened with milk and water, cracked and wfcole corn and buckwheat screenirgs. At neon they may be fed boiled rotatce. with some meat mixed with them. Fiona the first they roust have pure cold water to drink, or if milk can be given them icatf ad, theo will grow faster in return for it. There ia often a loss before the chickeis have the jest, caused by the hen tramping on them; this can be avoided by removing the chickens ai fast as the.v are hatched, and returning them to the hen at night; for if they are given back by daylight she is al

most certain to disswn and persecute them to death. When chickens get chilled and it is necessary to revive them in warm coverings by the f;re, the same precaution must bs followed when they are returned to the hen. The Kent Laud for Melons. (Nashviile American. The best land for growing melons is a dark, sandy loam, having a gravelly subsoil, through which water rises within two or six feet of the surface. Such lands are seldom found outside of the first or second bottoms of large or small rivers. The hi-h or upland which nearest approaches in character riyer bottom is the best place to grow melons. The best manure is well-rottei stable dung, in connection with that of pigeons, chickens and turkeys, and the best fertilizer, guano, with or without the acid phosphate. The The land should be plowed, harrowed and hned in the fall, and laid otf so the melon hills will be from ten to twelve feet apart each way. Where each hill is to be an open ing should be made a foot deep, and in circular shape, three feet across. Into this the manure and fertilizers should be put to the extent in quan tity that will a third fill the hole. the earth returned and filling the remaining two-thirds. This should be done in the fall, so as to give a chance for the manures, fertilizers and earth to become incorporated with each other. PJant a dozen seed in a hill as soon as the earth is well warmed up and there is nothing to fear from frost. Commence cultivating as soon as plants are fairly above the ground, and when the cut-worms have done their work, thin to two planbj in a hill. Continue cultivating, and keep the land clean till the vines begin to run, bat beware of disturbing them in any way after that period of growth has been reached, if our correspondent will find the right kind of land, and will follow these directions, he will be pretty sure to get large, it not early, melons. But still he will hod many dithculties in his way, and we advise him before he undertakes growing melons on any considerable scale to take a tour among tbe melongrowers, near and remote, and he will return home feeling the time and money well spant.

DUX STK ON DRUNKARDS.

lie aiabei to the Public a Fair Proposition. In the matter of temperance, writss Bill Nye to The San Francisco Ingleside, I may eay that no one would pick me out a a radical on either lidecf the question. It is my doctrine that tbe evil of lntemperanca will work: ita own destruction when the proper time comes. We may get pretty weary waiting for the diy of our emancipation, but it is certainly unwise to make the cause of temperance obnoxious by feeding it to pjo pie day times, and then wafcing theai up in tbe uight to ask them if they have vio ated thr!r solemn obligation. You may convince a rt-esor.irg hmnn being, but you can not teaci him a great truth by painting it on any beard fence :n the civilized world, and then running him into tbosc board fences till you have smashed his nose several times, and taught him to despUe both you and the cause you represent. The above solemn chunk of philosophy was written for me by a warm personal fiiend, who told me that when I got tired of writing mere froth and foam and foolishness for the amusement of a sorrowing world, and wished to put together a few eentenc98 of sense to eurpriee the public with, he would be tickled to death to come around after cilice hours and write me a few without cbaree. But it was not on tho subject of temperance itself that I started out to speak. I desired to propound tr the readers of The InglesitJe a conundrum ornaeery. It is this: Why is it that when a man becomes beasUy j drunk, idiotically inebriated, and hilariously I lull, he will start out at once with what remaining strength he may have to hunt me up and converse witn me till his lower jaw gets loose and fa'ls off on the ground with a sickening thud? Is it because I am good-natured, and snow unusual conversational powers, or is it becac.e the idf a of hunting me up and associating with me does not occur to a man until he is very, very drunk '.' flc wever this may be, it is indeed a chilly day when I do not spend an hour or two in social convene with a man who is uproariously drunk, sleepy drunk, confidentially drunk, tearfully drunk, affectionately drnnk, maudlin drunk, musically drunk, incoherently drunk, sorrowfully drunk, abusively drunk, politically drunk, oritorically drunk, admirably drunk, critically drnnk, disorderly drunk, peacefully drunk, ornamentally drunk, or just simply drunk. He mv be in a neighboring State when the wild, ungovernable desire come3 over him to put something n his mouth which will ultimately steal away his brains unless he has taken the precaution to have tbem conceal d" abcut his person, but in the first siege of his ineoriety he gets a ticket to where I am, and then he goes on with the debauch. He generally finds me at last.and he sails up to where I am and begins to converse. It seems to me now that a great deal of my time is taken up in conversing with parties who meet me on the street or at stations or in hotels, and then talk with me several hours at a time while under the lEfluence of intoxicating liquor. I presume 1,500 men have held ice by the baLd and sworn that everything they bad as at my service. Money, clothes, house i, jewelry, cr anything else they had was none too good for me. Tnen they would ring my band again end start to go away, but they wonldalwajs return and talk some more, and when I would swoon and fall over they would reluctantly go away. When I ventured to remind them the next day of their kird olfer to supply me with fundsthey most generally fail to call it to mind. Sometimes they ask me in an injured tone of voics if I expected to hold a man responsible for all the promises he makes to the innumerable common fools he meets while drunk. So I desire to give notice in this public way that on and after this da ) 1 shall not hold any more open air communications with common drunks :a-t, and, as I want to be perftctly fair and just toward all, lam willing to bind myself in a similar way not to converse with sober people while I may be drunk. Now if their be anything unfair or nnre&EOcable about this proposition I am willing to alter it, so that no one can find fault with it. I want to do exactly what is right, and I do not require anything whatever of others that I am not perfectly willingmyself to submit too. How to Grow Grapes. Milwaukee SeatineL Mr. Kramer recently read a paper before the Lacio3se Horticultural Society on grape growing. Of the different ways of preparing the ground, he said the best way ia to make u trench '.twenty inchss deep and Jay the grain on tbe dwn-hill sida (suppc8:ng it to be on a slope Tnea put wood ix old, leaves and small leaves on the bottom of the ditch. Begin another similar trnch on the other side, throwing the earth into the first trench, continuing in ibis manner until the ground is all spaded over alike. Mark your ground for grape vines in rows eight feet apart each way. Dig the ho'es for the roots in the fall before the ground freezes, as the soil thrown out will ;be much better for ths new roo-ta after it has been frozen and thawed. Make the boles from fourteen to sixteen inches deep &ad eighteen inches across. In setting the roots the following spring, see that mellow, rich soil is placed next them and packed firmly. In setting, put one bud just below the sur face and one bud above. Early planting is advisable, as it insures better growth. The above is for heavy soil. For light and sandy soils make holes two feet square, put In the best top soil on oae side and the lighter soil on the other. Pro cure enough heavy muck ta 11 the hole one foot deep. Leave the hole open uotil spring, then set the roots aa above taking care to put the best soil next the plants. The first and second year cut down to two buds, and keep the soil clean. The third year, if you have two canes, cut one down to two buds and the other to four, five or six, according to tha strength of the vine. Also tbe third year will be the time to set posts or build a trellis so support the vines. The best time to prune is in November and December. Then select the shoots according to the fruit buds. The third year is also the time to trim the roots. Open the soil about the vines, and with a sharp knife cut all the roots within four inches, from the top down, then put the soil back in ita place. In cultivating use a four-tined fork lns'ead of a spade. The spade cuts too many roots, while tbe fork goes between the roots and loosens the soil; and cultivate at least once every year, and keep down the weeds with a hoe. Soap for II oj Cholera. (Prairie Farmer. I have kept hogs for over forty years, with never a sick one, though tne sd called hog cholera has often been prevalent all around me. I attribute this exemption to the regular supply of soap suds which I have always given them. Every washing day, except in extremely cold weather, all the suds are emptied into tbe swill-barrel, and tbe hogs drink.it greed i y. I do not think the suds any better for the contact with dirty clothes, but whore only a few hogs are kept the weekly suds seem about the amount needed. Those who make the suds specially for the purpose, should mix about three pints or two quarts of good soft soap with a barrel of water, stir to a foam and give it to tbe pigs one to three times a week, and they , will be all right.

Recollections of a nan Who Served Ills State Many Years Ago. The Columbus, (0.) Sunday Herald publishes a moet interesting interview with Hon. David Fisher, the oldest ex-Congress-man in the United States, being in the ninety-first year of his age. Mr. Fisher served in the war of 1812, and soon after married, taking his bride to a small houss one mile from the rnbin in whica General Grant was born. He In- 5 iq dwell on the life of General Grant, v .se birth be remember?. He tells of dancing with the General's mother when she was Miss Hannah 6imp3on and before Jesse R Grant had courted and wedded ber. The old commoner was a warm personal friend of old Tum Corwin, and stumped tbe State during the hard cider campaign In 1840. at which time he was a Whig. In he was elected to the Thirtieth Congress, serving one term and refusing a rcnominatioa. The lamented Lincoln was a member of ths f.irue Congress, and the two became fast friends, rooming together for some time in a boarding house, where there were formed relations tbat were only dissolved by Lincoln's death. Of Lincoln's character he eajs: ' He was the mcst lovable public man I ever met. and, like me, did not return to Congress, but, unlike me, a few years after became tbe greatest man of tbe age and the avior of tbe l'nion. 1 strongly advocated Lis nomination for the Presidency at the Chicago Convention, and his winning the prize there was perhaps the first step toward tbe regeneration cf our land. Before tLe war, while traveling in the West, I spsnt three days at his house in Springfield, and oce evening remarked tbat I had never received the" 'Congressional Directory' for which I had subscribed and paid, Mr. Lincoln said: Takefone of mine; J have two; and you will see, Fisher, that it speaks better of you than it does of me.' " Ia answer to a question relative to the death of ex President John (aincay Adams, the old commoner replied with evident emotion: "Adams was, next to Mr. Lincoln, the grandest man I ever met. His seat in the House was directly opposite mine, only a narrow aisle separating our desks. The ex- President was ery old, and for years quite feeble, having a slight touch of paralysis. One dav, just before Washington's birthday, in 1818, Mr. Adams half Crose up in his seatandfsaddenly put his hand up to his head, whereupon I rose up from my desk and caught him in my arms just as he was sinking. The House was in an uproar, but in an instant the word passed around that Adams was dying, and immediately members came to my aid, and we carried the fallen statesman into the speaker's room, where, three days later, the mortal spirit of 'the old man eloquent' had gone to its Maker. He never spoke after fallin -into my arms, save that historical ejaculation uttered just previous to his final dissolution." Mr. Fisher was identified with Hon. Salmon P. Chase in the organization of the .Republican party. He now resides with a married daughter, whose home is a most beautiful one. and not five miles from the place where he took his bride so many years ego. In form he is stately and impressive, but has been blind for twenty years. Speaking of social life in Washington, he says the finest entertainment he ever attended was Senator Benton's party to his son-in-law, General Fremont, on his return from the Mexican war. Cutting Fodder Sor Sheep. Livs Stock Journal Sheep are fond of fine, soft herbage, and, as is well known, will pick off the leaves and fine branches of the best cured clover, leaving the body of the stock uneaten. And of corn-fodder, they never eat more than the leaves, tassels, etc. They wiU pick over straw, but eat only the chaff and fine parts. But when hay is run through a cutter and cut very cne, they will eat it quite clean. Even straw, cut fine, will be mostly eaten by sheep. In a large experience in cutting fodder we have found the saving In cutting for sheep even greater than for cattle. When the fodder is cat it is easy to mix with it ground feed or grain, and the sheep will then eat and cat f adder and grain together, insuring a remastication of the grain and ita digestion and assimilation. In fattening of sheep, cutting the coarse fodder will be found very advantageous; first, because much fodder will bs saved and the grain better utiVzed; second, because the sheen can safely be crowded in fattening, without danger of disease, when the grain is always eaten with roarse fodder. When sheep are fed heavily with gtain a'ono. it is not raised and re masticated, and sometimes is likely to produce fever in tbe stomach; but when the ttr&in is eaten with cut fedder it 113 light and porous in the stomach, and is well acted upon by the gastric juice, which can circulate freely through the mass; the food is then readily digested, and passes through the system without creating any irritation As coarse fodder is raised and remass'cated. the grain mixed with it is a!s3 raised and remasticated. Using short cut ceare fodder makes it most convenient to feed a great variety of food that sheep are very fond of corn, oats, middlings, oil-cake, peas, unmarketable beans, barley, etc. We have no doubt that cutting feed pays for all our farm stock, when feeding is carried on upon a considerable scale, for then tbe cutting will be done with ample power, which enables two tons of fodder to be cut per hjur, but with only a few animals it ia likely to cost more than the gain in fodder. At the Lordon Fat Cattle Show a redpolled Norfolk cow was exhibited which weighed 2,01 pounds. She had produced eight calves and been an excellent milker. She gained, while being fattened, at the rate of three pounds daily, although she was thirteen yean old.

IOO Doses Ono Dollar Manuring Potatoes. ILetter to the Country Gentleman.1 I have been very much interested in Mr. Terry's writings on potato ra sing. I am of opinion that he does not think justriahtas to the value of cammercial manures. I have used them for a number of years with very good results. Three years ago I was told tbat if I would take a certain parcel of land, containing a quarter of an acre, I might have all I could raise from It. Iu the first p'ace I plowed it eight inches deep, then gave it a thorough hairrowing, after which I cut my potatoes to two eyes, and dropped one piece in a hill ten inches one way and three feet the other, planting tbem good and deep. After my Beauty of Hebron came up I took one peck of goitno (Sea-Fowl brand) and put a small handful eround the vines ca each hill. I then gaveihem a good dressing with the lice. Three weeks after I went over them apain, and put more guano ou at the rate of 410 pounds to the acre. In September I dug foty-nite bushels of as handjome potatoes asleversaw.no small ones. Now, some ore may want to know what condition this ground wss in when I took it. I will say I do not think it had ever had a particle of manure or any other fertilizer. The soil was hard, and covered with small stone. This 3 ear I want to raise about four or tire acres of potatoes. I have enough coarse manure to cover the ground in good shane. I calculate to plow deep, harrow well, and plant 6ix inches deep. Sbalt treat the vines liberally with guano, and give them shallow culture. A dainty custard for tea, or to be served with puddings, is to be made of two tablespoonfuls of corn starch to one quart of milk, three eggs and sugar and flavoring to suit your taste. Beat the whites of the eges separately and to a stiff froth. Cook the custard by placing the basin in which yoi mix it in another pan of boiling water; when it has thickened take it from the fire and beat in the whites of the eggs. This is the time to add tbe Savoring extract also. The egg is sufficiently cooked if rapidly beaten into the hot custard, and the custard is rendered almost as light as whipped cream, and it may be heaped in glasses or be put into one large glass dish.
