John W.Chad wkfc. A Touching Incident. Whn Mrs. Mary A.

Mrs. Livermcre replied that she wrot so many letters during the war, under nmilar cirL-umstancfs, that she coul i not recall any particuJtir-en.se. The wmi.n drew a letter from her pocket that had 4 en tjrn int (pieces in the folds of tre Rte, and was thu stitched together with fice sowing cotton. "Dj you reoieraber slhi3 letter? Le a-kwi.

Pulling the bluebells here and there; Never befoie had he seemed so iray Oa, never before so swet and fair! And the hours flew by, till, like a spell, A sudden shadow of sorrow fell. One minute all seemed so bright and jrlad; The next, I knew it was cold, and chill. Tbe child had felt as well as I, And grown as suddenly sad and still. "What Is it?" 1 said. In strange alarm. And lifted the boy in my strong right arm. In my strong riht arm, close to my breast, I carried him home oh, sad, sad way ! The paie Mints rising above the fields. The sun going, down In pomber gray. "Take care of my flowers," he faintly said, And then on my shoulder laid his head. Twenty years be has been in Heaven; Bin he's my boy yet he's my boy yet. I bave kept his tassel led cap aud shoes. And the pretty stockings his mother knit; Ills little checked frock, his chair, his ball. His broken toys I have kept them all. But oh, these bluebells are dearer far! Withered and frail and sad they look; But for tweuty years they've lain beside The sweetest promise In all the Book. Pee, when I go to my last long rest. That you lay these bluebells on my breast.

French wisdom: "Love is a queer thing. and so is happiness. To enjoy either com pletely it has to te shared." We talk of forgetting. As a matter of fact, we never lorgei anything. An impression made upon tne mind remains there forever. Old stylo checkered ginghams in dainty shades of pink and blue, but vastly improved in the weaving, bave returned to popu larity. The old proverb, 'The better the day, the better the deed," doesn t apply to an instru ment conveying real estate drawn up on Sunday.

At a recent diamond show at the resi dence of the Baroness-Coutts, the largest pure white Cape diamond known, weighing loO carats, and valued at XloO.UUO, was exbil ited. An Indian diamond, held at 55,000, was also shown. A tiny incandescent electric spark is now so fixed as to replace and outshine tbe diamond in a lady's brooch. But it will nevc-r be poDular.

A. uerman comic paper which pokea a little fun at Bismarck has been ordered to 8U?pend publication for two years, and its -editor has een sent to jail for three months. This may seem severe to people who are not acquainted with the merits of the case, but to those who know what excruciating jokes a German comic paper can perpetrate when it tries, the punishment seems almost ridiculously light. A prominent writer of a eulogy on con nubial Miss says it is often tbe case when you see a great man, like a ship, Bailing proudly along the current of renown, that there is -a little tug bis wire whom you can not seo, but who is directing his movements and supplying the motive power.

Put eight or ten thicknesses of paper on each stair under your stair carpets, it will eave them greatly. To fill up small holes in plastering, mix plaster of Paris in- small quantities with water so it will spread easily with a widebladed knife, and fill the holes. It will harden very rapidly. This duet is very fine ana dry, and pois onous to the lungs. Before removing it, sprinkle the floor with , very dilute carbolic acid, to kill any poisonous germs that may' be present and to disinfect thoroughly the floor and render it sweet. Silver receives a higher polish and keeps clean longer when it is employed. Where pieces are but slightly tarnished add two teaspoonfuls of ammonia to a quatt of not 6uds, and rub each piece with an old nail brush. . If badly discolored whiting will also bo necesjary, but if clean ed at long in terval with whiting a weekly washing in tho ammonia water will be sufficient to keep them bright. If you have white paint that has turned yellow, take a little saleratua on your sponge and rub over it, washing off with clean water, and you will be surprised to see how much improvement you have made, baleratus is also good for taking grease frcm shelves, tables, floors, etc. Spread it thickly ever the spots, just dampen a little, and leave it for a few minutes, then scrub it with eoap and wator. To make cleaning windows and paint more easy, get a large sponge, such as Lj used to wash carriages, and a chamois skin, and go to wrk. Uso lukewarm soft water. Wash off the windows, glass and frames, thoroughly with the sponge, then with the skin wipe them off, and no rubbing ud will bo required. Proceed the same with the painted work about the bouse, ana you who try it, will say v-our paint and windows nev er looked so well before. Wring the chamois skin as dry as you can, each time vou use it. One advantage cf this method over the old way of cleaning, is that no lint IS left on paint or windows. A bandy thing to have for windows and casings is & halfworn tooth brush to take dust or dirt out of corners. , Spirits of ammonia is an efieotive cleanser of paint. Allow a ttblespooniul oi tne ammonia to a quart of hot water. Two quarts will be enough. Take a flannel cloth and wipe the raint. It needs no scrubbing, and every spot will di.appear, Ammonia will do half the work for you where grease is concerned. It can be em ployed in many cases where benzine is used, and is afar lass dangerous thing to have in the house, benzine giving of a soon as the cork is removed a great volume of vapor, which explodes at once if gas or lighted candle is near. When pot cr pan has had anything greasy in it fill it partly with warm water and add a few drops of ammo nia. In ten minutes it can be poured off and the thing will be not half the trouble to wash, and with no grease lurking in Corners to flavor the next article cooked in it. When putting down carpets in rooms that aro much used, alter the floors are clean and dry, spread clean nawspapcrs, or anv kind f paper, over the or, then take nice, clean straw, and spread it thickly ovei tho paper, then put your carpet down. Th traw will net make any disagreeable sound after a fw days. It will let the dust through on to tho paper, and clouds of dust will not follow the broom, on ew jepmg day The carpet will lat longer with this liniDg than with any other, and when you take it up again, you will "bless your stars" that you put dowa the newspapers, for on them will be found the dust, and all ycu will need to do will be to take them up carefully and put them on the. pile of rubbish for the spring bonfiie, and thus avoid filling your lungs with dust from sweeping, for very little wiil bo mpon the floor.

From the bones collrcted by M. Broea and those contained in the Museum of tbe Anthropological Society of Paris, it would seem that early man had to bear much the same osseous lesions a3- modern man in infancy and advanced years. But what strikes one with surprise are the numerous instances of trepanning and of well-consolidated fracture, showing that our very remote ancestors were not so ignorant of eurgery as some of their descendants may not unreasonably have supposed. The peppermint tree (eucalyptus amygdulir.a) growing in the I)andnong district of V ictoria, Australia, is the largest, tree in the world. It is said to measure C70 feet to the starting point of the crown, 417 feci to the top. One tree reached the great height of 4 SO feet. One tre measured ninety-six feet in circumference at the ground, and at the height of 2U feet it wai fve feet in circumference. Tnese trees dis count the patriarchs or.' the Pacific coast. which have been tne wondar or all travel ers. Good work from human being, just as from machinery, raquires good treatment, and the finer thu quality and the greater the quantity of the work the larger must be the outlay. Build factories that supply pure air, and the employes will produce more; but they will ask for more pay, because they will consume more food, and can not live on low wages. A donkev can xist on thistles, of course, and give a donkey return; but a race horse can not be placed n tne same fare with profit to any one. A method of preserving meat by causing the heart of the animal to pump boracic acid into the tissues has been recently patented. A sheep, for instance, is stunned by a blow, and blood being withdrawn from tbe left jugular vein, a strong solution of boracic acid, kept at blood heat, is injected. In a very few minutes the heart of the still living animal has pumped the anti-septic fluid into all parts of the body, and the sheep is then killed in the ordinary way by the butcher. The cost is eaid to be'less than sixpesse per sheep, and the meat will ktep for five or six weeks in tummer. Some vears aeo." eavs Mr. E. IL Davis, of Avon, N.

Of these eighty acres, forty are in grapes, abtut fii teen of which are in bearing, five acres of apricot?, a small part of which bear now, but as this is a fruit grown only in favored localities, and is in great demand, it is a profitable fruit to raise; five acrts of peaches, which grow rapidly, bear early and heavily; in great demand for canning; two acres of nectarines, a very delicious fruit re lated to the peach; this promises well and is a great favorite; two acres of Bartlelt pears, the very perfection of excellence anywhere. but especially so in thi climate; six acres of prunes, xrench variety; these do well. We bave also an assorted orchard of apples. plums, quinces and cterrie for our own use, lhe small fruits are net well adapted to this climate, on account of the heat, but as onr trees grow to shade thf m we expect a good supply ot varieties of berries. "I almost forgot to mention two acres of almond?, from which we gathered forty pounds tbe first year, and four hundred tho second year they tore. The original cost of this eitrhty acres was f 4,000. Iherewnow $15,000 invested, including all I have men tioned, also a bored well with windmill acd a 10.000 gallon tank, a good barn, small dwelling house, a house for packing mi-ins. chicken bousej, and somo rough outbuildings occupied by tho man. With age ad.led to cur vines and trees, we anticipate a handsome remuneration. Wa find a ready market for all cur fruit, and our raisins have already won a good reputation. Ten tens is cur largest yield yet. "Labor, unskilled, is high in this pr.rt of Califoriiia. Wo average three men all the time. Miss A. and myself spend the greater part of fruitago time among treee and vine?, and the pruning knife has become ourbadge of honor. "Within, we regale ourselves with the Atlantic Monthly, feast in reading that most excellent work, "Duties of Women," by Francis Power Cobbe. We read with pleasure tho number of Western Woman's Journal you so kindly send, and are praying and hoping this advance wave of higher civilization may reach California. Justice must win ere long. Woman's enfranchisement is the aurcra of a new day for the world.'' A Loiln; Joke. fllarrisburg Patriot. A prominent physician of Pittsburg eaid jokingly to a lady patient who was coniDlainingof her continued ill-health and his inability to cure her: "Try Hop Bitters!" The lady took it in earnest, and used the Bitters, from which she obtained permanent health. She now laughs at the Doctor for his joke, but be is not so well pleased with it, as it cost him a good patient Allen's Brain Food positively cares nerv ousness, nervous debility and all weakness of generative organs; $1; six for $5.
