Lo.t, a Boy. lie went from the old home hearthstone Only two yearn ago, A laughing, rollicking fellow It would do you good to know; Since then we have not aeen him. And we nay, with a nameless pain, The boy that we anew ana loveo. to We shall never see again. One bearing the name we gare him Comes home to us to-day, But thia la not the dear fellow We kisxed and vent away. Tall as the man he calls father. With a man's look In his face, 1 he who takes by the hearthstone The lost boy's olden place. We miss the lauta that made music Wherever the lost boy went. This mitn ha a smile most winsome, His eyes have a grave intent; We knovr he 1 thinking and planning His way in the world of men. And we cau not help but love him. But we Ung for our boy again. We are proud of this manly fellow Who comes to take hin place. With bints of the vanishing boyhood In his earnest, thoughtful face; And yet comes back the lonKiug Kor the boy we must henceforth mL-.s, Whom we sent away from the hearthstone Forever with a kUs. Kr. Martin's Scalp. Jimmy Brown in Harper's Youns Folks. This was the way it harenei. I was playing Indian in the yard. 1 had a wooden tomahawk and a wooden scalpinp-kiiife and a bow-'narrow. I was dressed up in father's old coat turned inside out, and had six chicken feathers in ray hair. I was play inj I was Green Thunder, the Delaware Chief, and was huntine for role faces in the yard. It wm just after supper, and I was having a real nice time. Mr. Traversa came, and said, "Jimmy, what are you up to now 7 Siltold him I was lireen Thunder, and was on the war path. Said he, "Jimmy. I think I saw Mr. Martin on his way here. IK) you think you would mind scalping him?' I said I wouldn't scalp him for noihinp, for that would be cruelty; but if Mr. Traverse was sure that Mr. Martin was the enemy of. the red man, then Green Thunder's heart would ache for reven, and I would scalp him with pleasure. Mr. Traverse said that Mr. Martin was a notorious enemv ana op pressor of the Indians, and he pive me ten rents, and paid that as soon as Mr. Martin should come, and be sitting comfortable on she piazza, 1 was to give the war-whoop and scalp him. Well, in a few minutes Mr. Martin came. and he and Mr. Traverse and Susan sat on the piazza, and talked as if they were all so ileas'd to we each other, which was the liiihest hypocrisy in the world. Aft?r a while Martin saw me and said, "How silly boys are! that boy makes believe lie is aii Indian, and he knows he is only a little nuisance." Now this made me mad, and I thought I would jcive him a good scare, just to teach him not to c:ll names. So I began to steal softly un t!.s piazza steps, and to j;et around behird him. When I had got about tix feet from him I gave a war whoop and jumped at him. I caught hold of his scalp-lock with one hand, and drew my wooden scalping knife around his head with the other. I never got such a fripht in my whole Ufe. The knife was that dull that it wouldn't have cut butter; but, true as I sit here, Mr. Martin's whole scalp came right off in my hand. I thought I had killed him, and I dropped his scalp and said: "For mercy's sake f I didn't go to do it, and I'm awfully sorry!" liut he just caught un his scalp. stuffed it in his pocket, jammed his hat on his head. ' and walked on, saying to Susan. "I didn't; come here to be insulted by a little wretch that deserves the gallows." Mr. Travers and Susan never said a word until he had g me, ant then they laughed till the noise brought father out to ask what was the matter. When he heard what had happened, instead of laughing, he looked very angry, and said Chat "Mr. Martin was a worthy man. My sen, you may come p stairs with me." If you've ever beea a boy, you know what happened up s-tairs, and I needn't say any more on a very painful subject. I didn't mind it so much, for I thought Mr. Martin would die, and then I would be hung and put in Jail; but before she went to bed Saean came and vshispered through the door that it was all right; that Mr. Martin was made that way, o he could be taken apart easy, and that I hadn't hurt hin. I shall have to stay in my room all day today and eat bread and water; aud what I say is that if men we made with scalps that may come off any minute, if a boy just touches them, it isn't fair to klame the boy. Jimmy Brown in Harper Young Folks. He nad no Mother. The other day, when a stern and dignified Judge ordered a prisoner at the bar to stand up and offer objectins, if he had iy, to being sentenced to f rison for a long term of vears, the prisrtner rose and said: "I never iacl a mother to shed tears over rue!" His words entf -xl every heart in the Court Room, lie was a rough, bad man. in the middle age of lite, and had been convicted of burglary, bot every heart softened toward him as his lips uttered the words. He felt what he kad said, and ttars rolled down his cheeks as fee continued: "If I had had a mother's love and a mother's tears, some one to plead with me and pray tor me. I should not now be what 1 am. Ah! That's it! ffhere is a power in a mother's love, in her tears, pleadings and prayers, whose influence is hardly to be realized. God pi try Che lad who has bo home to go to no mother to whom he can tell his griefs and troubles na mother to jut her arras around his neck and beseech llcuven do keep him pure! There is no heart like a mother's. Her child nay wound it again and again, yea, pierce it with a sword, and its last pulsations witl tili beat with love for the ingratc. It is the 'first to excu se his faults, the last to condemn. The nun who looks back over his childhood and his youth regrets nothing so much as that be has brought tears of sorrow and sadness to a fond mother's eyes. Every tear a mother sheds over a wayward child is recorded in the Great Book, and he shall answer i r it. Little Folk Abroad. Governess "What u the future, of the verb Ho love,' Mary?"

"So, my boy; why do you ask that question?" "Uerause I heard Uncle Joe say that if you would only husband your resources you would get along a great deal better than you da That's all, pa." Friend S. has a son who is not precisely a studious and working boy. The list of grades which he brings home daily tells of a deplorable apathy on his part. Fifteen daya ago he came home o. 27.

His mother was putting on her slipper again when he brushed away the tears, and affectionately caressing the place that smarted the worst, asked between his sobs: "M-ma, d-do vou k-know why M'm like little M-ruary?" She looked at him crossways without speaking, but he answered it: "ll-because I-I h.ad a l-little lam." There is no better bon mot in literature than the reply of a little girl who heard her father criticised severely across a dinner table. The careless critic paused a moment toaiy: "I hope he is no relative ol yours, Miss Jfc" and quick as thought she replied, with the utmost nonchalance: "Only a con nection of my mother's by marriage. HOUSEHOLD KNOWLEDGE. Potted Chicken. This is an agreeable relish, and makes a pleasant luncheon when traveline. Take a roast fowl and carve off all the meat.

Drain thoroughly the liquor from the oysters; mix upon a plate the flour, milk pepper and salt; dip the oysters into this mixture one bv one, and, put ting the cracker dust upon a sheet of kitchen paier, drop the ovsters into the crackers separately, and roll them from side to side by lilting the paper alternately at opposite corners. Keturn them to the plate, using a fork in lifting, and let them stand for half an hour that the dust, may harden with the juice. Boat the eggs now until very light and u p the eysters into the egg one by one, then into the bread crumbs; Jiaving lightly greased the broiler, put them into it and broil five minutes. In serving put the butter upon them in small lumps and squeeze over them the lemon juice. "Broilvd rir;' Feet a la r. T. Barnim" is one of the dishes printed on the Sturtevant House bill of fare, in INew lorlc "Pigs' feet, projerly cooked, were given me to eat long before 1 was permitted to par take of any other animal food," said Mr, Humum yesterday. "When old and young feet are boiled two and one-half hours, as usual, the old ones are tough and worthless, If they were boiled three and one-half hours the young feet would burst and the gelatine swim away, isow, the secret is to wrap each pig foot in a cotton bandage wound two or three times around it, and well corded with twine. Then boil then four hours. Let them remain in the bandages until neeeded to fry, broil or pickle. The skin will hold it together while being cooked, and when you eat it yon will find them all tender und delicate as possible." Housekeepers will be glad to get lxJdof. this new way of cooking pigs' feet. We say new, because it will be new toll4 general public. It has leen known for a long time, and there is a hotel in this State where pigs" feet are a special feature of the bill of fare, and the reputation of the dish has extended far and wide.

She has brought up her children to share her feelings in the matter. Stumbling- Blocks. Mrs. A. M. Mitchell Payne. When men would achieve success in life they begin by studying the lives, habita and modes of thought and action of other men, both in the past ami in the present. They mark how stich men steered, where they struck the rocks, or where, avoiding them, they sailed away into smooth water. They make a chart for themselves with all these siots marked, so that by means of them they may avoid the dangers and seek safe harbors. It is only of late years that women have placed themselves side by side with men, and there have been some remarkable successes achieved. Remarkable, because there have been so few past records from which to glean. But it certainly behooves the women of to-day to study each other, so that the lessons learned may be of use to those who are to follow. There are tw or three very serious stumbling blocks in our way, which it will take much determination and energy to remove. One of thee is a want of thoroughness in most women. A man never undertakes to be carjenter, doctor, blacksmith and lawyer atonceorone attertheother. If by chanceor circumstance a young man is a rail splitter, when he becomes, through energy and teady determination, tne greaio-i in a great Ration, he leaves the trees for other hands, and concentrates his mind upon the one great thought of the good of those over whom he is placed in authority. What more ignoble thing can be said of a man than that he is a "jack of all trades and master of none?" It is always said in a tone of derision and contempt. Yet this is precisely what women are calling down upon themselves every day, by touching this or that, without any steady aim or object, flying butterfly-fashion to whichever flower most attracts. It is not strange, for it has been the training of women forages, but think of "the pity of it." "Are you teaching this winter?" I heard one young lady ask another. "Yes," was the reply. "I have forty scholars this term. It keeps me very busy to have so large a school, for there is so much to do at home. I am studying German too, and Tuesday I have lessons in musical theory, Friday evening I must go to prayer meeting, you know, and I am trying to do my own sewing this winter. Have you seen my new dress? It took all my spare time for two months to make it I sit up working until midnight, very often." Just think of it! What kind of teaching do those forty children have in the daytime, and what kind of worship does God have in the Friday evening prayer meeting? Did you ever notice how often a woman says: "Never mind?" If a duty is half performed when another demands her attention slie says "Never mind," and leaves the first to attend to the second, and tosses the obligation away lightly. If a piece of work is incomplete when pronounced finished, she hesitates a moment and then says: ''Never mind, I'll do better next time," and turns to something else. But it is not "Never mind." If it is worthy of your attention it is entitled to the whole of it. Perhaps it is the cultivation of your mind or the training of your voice, the strengthening of your muscles or the care of your house. A few may have some still higher duty, the training of your children, and the molding of their characters, or the strengthenig of the hands of the weak. Whatever it may be, it demands your ener gies, your time, your heart and voursoul: you must be s absorbed in it that it must be in some measure perfect before yow are satisuea with jc This century has placed women siie by side with men. Now if they would hold their places they must meet men upon their own grounds. "V hen a woman begins to cry, men l always iayiown my arms," says the man. Is that the way we gain our vic tories, my sister? Do you call it a conquest when you cry out for-quarter? What would become of a nt n who, when he was rrjzzled how to answer an aument, begantocry? Do not argue at oil, unless you are sure of your ground, and then stand out acrainst every thing and lit Id your own to the last Dy force of reasoning, but do not cry.

These few have rearbfd the top. and if w would climb toward them we must do as Xhey have done, looking always upward. Woman's Influence o Social Ufe. Men, as a rule, are easily attracted by a beautiful face, but it is an internal beauty of character by which a woman ean exert the greatest amount of intiuenrc. A trueminded man, though at first enamored by the glare of personal beauty, will soon feel the hollowness of its charms when be discovers the lack of beauty in the mind. Inestimably great la the influence that a sweet-minded woman may wield over those around her. It is to her that friends would come in seasons of sorrow and ickness for help and

comfort. One toothing touch cf ber kindly hand would work wonders in the feverish child; a few words let fall from her lips in the car of a sorrowing sister would do much to raise the load of grief that is bowing ita victim down to dust in anguish. The husband comes home worn out with the pressure of business, and feeling irritable with the world in general: but when he enters the cozy sitting-room and sees the blaze of the bright fire, his slipers placed by loving hands in readiness, and meets his wife's smiling face, he succumbs at once to the soothing influences which acts as the balm of Gilead to hiswounded spirits, that art wearied with combating the stern realities of life. The rough school-boy flies in a rage from the taunts of his companions to find solace in his mother's smile; the little one, full of grief with its own large trouble, finds a haven of rest on its mother's bosom; and so one might go on with instance after instance of the influence that a sweet-minded woman has in the social life with which she is connected. Pleasantries Concerning Women. 'Twos Sunday eve and the small boy stood With his eve to the keyhole pressed. And he saw his sister Bessy's head Un Absalom Thompson's vest. Then he ran and told.

"But isn't it dangerous, dad," he aiked. "When Absalom Thompson's in it?"

We wouldn't care to be the prettiest girl alive. e d rather be next to her. Why do girls kiss each other while men do not? Because girls have nothing better to kiss and the men have.

"I don't believe in these secret Societies," said one lady to another. "That's very singular," replied the other. "Your husband is a Forrester, a Knight of Pythias and a Knight of Honor, and you will have at least $10,000 when he dies." "But what good does all that do me," was the tearful response, "when he never dies!" And the poor creature burst into tears. It is said that while women are in general very ready to forgive an injury and have an altogether higher Christian tone than men, there are. nevertheless, some offenses of so grave a character that they can never be forgiven or forgotten. What those offenses are mzy be learned from the philanthropic remark of a peacemaker: "I can make up the quarrel between these two ladies," he said, "provided neither has said to the other that she was homely or an old maid. If those words have passed their lips nothing but death can cure the wound." SCIENTIFIC GOSSIP. There is a stalactite cave at Herchberg, near Kremsmunster, Austria, in which the jaw-bone of a man, with the teeth well preserved, has been found among a plentiful deposit of the remains of the Ursus spelieus. Ordinary letter-paper, if well heated and rubbed briskly with the hand or a brush, acquires electric properties, and will ad hero, to tables and walls, and when the hand is brought in contact with it slight electric sparks are quite visible if the experiment is made in the dark. From statistics of deaths from accident. negligence;, violence and misadventure, compiled in Great Britain, Mr. Cornelius Walford infers that the risk to life and limb in creases in a certain ratio with the progress of civilization a conclusion which will evidently bear a very considerable qualifi cation. Large quantities of pottery are manufactured in Brazil from the hard, silicious bark of the caralpe tree. In the prooess the ashes of the bark are powdered and mixed with the purest clay that can be obtained from the beds of the rivers this kind being preferred, as it takes up a larger quantity of ihe ash, and thus produces a stronger kind of ware. Ocean soundings show that along the entire coast of California a depth of 1,500 fathoms or more is reached within a distance of from twenty to seventy miles westward from the shores, the greater part of this sudden fall occurring in the last ten to fifty miles. At 100 miles west of San Francisco the bottom is found to be over 2,600 fathoms deep. The bed of the oean continues of a uniform depth greater than 1,500 fathcous until the Sandwich Islands are reached, the greatest depth being j.OOO fathoms, at a distance of 40 miles east of Honolulu, which great depth is maintained until within ninety miles of that plaae. Plants grown on the side of hills have been found to withstand severe frosts better than those grown in the valleys, because the latter are subjoefced to more frequent changes of temperatun. lAst winter Herr Hoffman made a very careful examination of the effect on vegetation of hard frost at Glessen. Very little injury was done to plants at the tops of hills, but those in sheltered valleys were jyeatly damaged. The frost appeared to be more harmless the higher the xjosed plant grew. Tender fruit trees placed in favorable positions on the low ground stool the lowest temperature, '23 JCeaumur. One remarkable fact was that the foiiage of the south side of one and the same bush was destroyed, while that of the north side remained green.

WOULD MIK OX THE PICKET LIXeJ

Anecdote ef the War by General Gortlen( of Georgia. . "We were on the Jlapidan River, where it was a little stream, hardly 100 feet wide. General Lee sent me word that I must eo out and break up the communication between our pickets and the enemy's. They had got to trading with each other in newspapers, tobacco, lies, and whatever would vary the monotony of picket life. They would not shoot at each other, and so it was not military-like. So I started out one morning on ray horse and rode the whole length of the picket line, and just as I came to a certain point I saw that there was confusion and surprise, as if I had not been expected. 'What is the matter men, here? I asked. 'Nothing, General, nothing is here,' You must tell me the truth, said I; "I am not welcome, I see, and there must be some reason for it. Now, what is the matter? 'There has been nobody Lere, General. We were not expecting you; that is alL' I turned to two or three of the soldiers and said, 'Beat down these bushes here.

He pointed to the other side of the river. "hat regiment do vou belong tor 'The One Hundred and Fourth Pennylvania, General.'

'Why, General, you wouldn't do that, ust because I came over to see the boys! didn't mean any harm! I felt lonesome over there and wanted to talk to the boys a little. That is all!' 'Never mind, sir; you march from this spot, clothed as you are, to Libby Prison!' 'General,' said the man, 'I had rather you would order me to be shot right here. 'No, sir; you go to Libby!'

A Needle Which Penetrated a Lady' Foot Worki Itself Out of Her Child. IxxiUvllle Courier-Journal, March 23. A most extraordinary natural accident, and one for the discussion of physicians, came to light a few days ago, in which a needle taken into the foot of a lady nine years ago worked out of the thigh" of her third child, a baby of one year. The lady in question is the wife of Mr. Harry Isaac, the cigarmaker, who lives on Market street, near Wenzel.- At "the time of the accident Mrs. Isaacs was unmarried and was then Miss Tauline Coblens. The needle was encountered in a carpet and penetrated her foot the fuli length. A physician was called in im mediately, but the needle could not he found, although it was known to be in the foot. She suffered great pain, and for four months was unable to leave her bed. During that period three physicians made frequent attempts to extract the needle, and the knife was used extensively, however, without success. Miss Coblens was quite flefrhy before the accident, but fell off greatly from her long confinement. At length she was able to get about with the aid of crutches, but she continued to suffer from the needle. The pain decrea-ed gradually from the time she waiable to get about, and she regained her former fleshiness. Finally she felt the needle only at periods, when there was a change in the weather. The movement of the needle seemed to be upward, and the point was not stationär', but moved with the needle. About five years ago she was married to Mr. Harry Isaacs. Three children are the fruit of that union, the yeungest of which is a boy named Arthur, whp is about a vear old. The pain which troubled the mother left her even before the birth of her etiild, and the total disappearance of the pain she was wont to feel was a subject of remark and pleasure to her. On Monday a week ago her Daby, who had since its birth manifested a kindly disposition, was very restless and cried unceasingly all night. The cause of the child's ailment was not discovered until the following morning, when in giving it a bath the mother discovered something black protruding through the skin of the child's thigh. 8he caught hold of it, ami was frightened when she found the thing of a resisting sub stance. She, however, used a little force, and soon extracted the dark object Imagine her surprise when she found it was a needle, black and corroded. The eye broke olT in her hand while examining it. The recollection of the needle, which had caused her much pain, came vividly before the mother, and she felt keenly for her child. The remembrance of her relief from the pain also forced itself on the mother, and the connection of the two served as a clew as to how the needle came to be in the child's thigh. The mother .says it would be almost impossible for the child to have taken up the needle without her finding it out, as the child would have made it known in piteous cries aa it did .when the needle worked out.
