"We have had a goid many boys with us from time to time," said Mr. Al'den, tho eenior member of a large hardware establishment in Market street, Thiladelphia, "as apprentices, to learn the business. But the best boy we ever had is now with u?, and a member of the firm. He is the one man in the establishment that we couldn't do without. lie was thirteen years old when he was apprenticed to us, and he was with us for eleven j-ears acting for several years as salesman. "When he first came we told hira that for a long time Lis wages would be very small, tut that if he proved t be a god boy is salary would be increased at a certai.- e ,-eY year, and as it turned out, vid,i trains to agreement we Fh julii ha e l-oc-ii paying him $500 a 3'ear, we p-ii hin iae hundred, and he never paid a word himself about an incrcaae'bl ea'ary. From the very outset he- showed that he had an interest in the business. He was prompt in the mornin?, and if kept a little over at night it never seemed to mate any difference with him. He gradually came to know where everything was to be found, and if information was wanted, it was to this boy Frank Jones, that every one applied. The entire est-abii-hrnent seemed to be mapped out in his head and everything in it catalogued and numbered. His memory of f.ices was equally remarkable. He knew the name of every nan who came to the ptore to buy goods, what he bought and where he came from. I used often to say to him: Mone, your memory is worth more than a gold mine! How do yoa manage to remember?' " 'I make it my tusics3 to remember,' be would say. 'i know that if I can remember a rcan and call him by name when he comes into the store, and can ak him how things are going on where he lives, I will be very likely to keep him as a customer.' And that was the exact case. He made friends of buyers. He took the Err:e int-re-t in their purchases as he took in the store, and would go to no end o; trouble to suit tLern and to fulfil to the letter everything he promised. "Well, affairs went on in this way until he had been with us eleven years, when we concluded to take him into the firm as a partner. We knew he had no extravagant habits, that he neither used tobacco, nor beer, nor went to the theater. He continued as at the beginning to board at home, and even when his salary was the very lowest he paid his mother two dollars a week tor Iiis board. He was always nectiy dressed, and we thousht it was very probab! that he had laid up one or two thousand dollars, as his salary for th last two years had been twelve hundred dollars. So when we made him the offer to become a partner in the business, and suggested that it would be more satisfactory it he could put Eome money into the linn, he replied: " 'If t'10,iH" will be any object I can put in that much. I have saved out of mv Fslarv S'-M'fO, and mv sister will let me have'-tOu' "I can tell you th?.t I never was more estonLsLicd in my life than when that fellow said he could put in 10,000, and the most of it his own money, lie had never spent a dollar, or 5 cents or 5 cents for an unnecessary thing, and he kept his money in "bank where it cathered a email interest. I am ft great believer in thn bibb, you know, and I always kept two placards in big letters up in the store. On one was this text: 'He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is much ;' and on the other: 'He that is diligent in business shall tand before kings and not before mean men.' And Frank Jones' success was the literal fd'lilment of those two texts. He had been faithful in the smallest things as in the greater ones, and diligent in business. That kind of a boy always succeeds," concluded Mr. Alden. A Drummer-Boy' Sad Death. "Early in lsft) the Union forces were encamped near Wilmington, X.

As I passed the long rows of sick veterans, my eye rested on a sick lad, a mere boy, whose "pale face and sunken eyes toid.of his sufferings. His name, he ßaid was Arthur Perry, his home in Ohio, his mother a widow. " The child said: 'Sometimes I was so cold and hungry that I thought I would never f-ee home again, but I will; won't I, lieutenant?' I assured him that he would, and after iriving him a clean pair of blankets I departed. The next morning I called again and he seemed much better. He said he was captured and wounded while with an ammunition train. He talked freely of home and mother in the early part of the day, but the latter part cf the day he became reticent and did not seem aware of my presence, and he said in tones that almost broke my heart, 'I know what it means now, lieutenant ; I shall never see mother again.' He beeged me to take him in my arms, which 1 did, and there in the deep twilight, with one arm around my neck and the (.til r over my shoulder, the brave litt e i '.-.low a a eummoned to the better fcor.c on L;gh."

MID-SUMMER FARM TOPICS.

THE UTILIZATION OF FERTILIZERS. How to Tell a. Horse' Af Readily Until the Seventh Year Saving the Manure FIoasehoM Hints Farm and Garden Note, Kte. There is a large amount of waste material that can be added to the manure heap with advantage, and during tho warm days of summer the materials very quickly decompoae. "Weeds can be profitably raked up and added to the manure heap, provided they are not ready to seed, and even then a well-managed heap will destroy the Beeds. The most important requisite with manure is to have it as fine as possible, and, with this object in view, the hay left over or trampled ehould be cut. The straw used for bedding will be more serviceable if cut for that purpose, and will also more readily act as an absorbent in the manure heap. It must not be overlooked that the liquids are more valuable than the solids, and the best mode of retaining the liquids is to use absorbent materials. Even dry dirt has been found a valuable Bubstance in the manure heap when used as an absorbent, and as the liquids serve to hasten decomposition they largely increase the value of tho solid portions. If the liquids are added to the heap it is apparent that any excess will flow away and carry off much of the fertilizing qualitfes of the manure. Hence, when the heap is exposed to heavy rains the manure will absorb water and also allow it to pass down. The surplus rain water in its flow dissolves out the valuable fortions of the manure and forces the iquids to flow away, leaving the solid portions behind, but thoroughly saturated. "When the sun pours its heat on the heap the action of moisture, heat and air causes a chemical change to occur by which a portion of the solids is decomposed and rendered soluble, the result being that the next rain carries olF more fertilizing material and the heap is impoverished. The sun does as much damage as the rain, as continued exposure induces the generation of heat ot a higher temperature within the heap than Is necessary. When this occurs it is known aa "lire-fanging." or "burning up" of the manure, as the elements arc liberated as fast as chemical decomposition occurs. A HORSE'S AGE. It Can lit) Told Readily Till the Seventh Year, Hut Xot After Thnt. The following, from the Dublin Farmers' Gautff, is valuable to every one that owns a horse: "The foal is born with twelve grinders. "When four front teeth have made their appearance the colt is twelve days old, and when the next four assert themselves its age will be about twenty-eight days. The corner teeth make their appearance when the foal is eight months old, and these latter attain the hight of the front teeth at the age of a year. The two-year-old has the kernel the dark substance in tho middle of the tooth's crown ground out of all the front teeth. In the third rear the middle front of teeth are shifted, and when three years old these are supplanted by the permanent (or horse) teeth, which are larger and more yellow than their predecessors. The next four teeth are shifted in the fourth year and the corner teeth in the fifth, giving place to the permanent nipper. "At five years of age a horse has forty teeth, of which twenty-four are grinders, far back in the jaw, with which we have little to do. But, be it remembered, horses invariably have tusks, which mares very rarely do. Before the age of six is arrived at the tusk is full grown and has a 6light groove on its internal surface (which cenerally disappears with age, the tusk itself becoming more rounded and blunt), and at six the kernel or mark is worn out of the middle front teeth. There will still be a difference of color in the center of the tooth. "The tusks have now attained their full growth, nearly or quite an inch in length, convex without, concave within, tending to a point, and the extremity somewhat curved. Now, or perhaps some months before, the horse may be said to have a perfect mouth. "At seven years tho mark, as described, is very nearly worn out of the four center nippers, and fast wearing away in the corner teeth, especially in mares; but the black mark still remains in the center of the teeth and is not completely filled up until the animal is eight years old. As he gets on past seven the bridle teeth begin to wear away. "At eight the kernel has entirely disappeared from all the lower nippers, and begins to decrease in the middle nippers. It is now said to be 'past mark of mouth.' There are indications, however, after this age which will enable a very ehrewd observer to guess very closely at a horse's age, but none that can be relied upon by observers. As horses become advanced in years the gums shrink away and the teeth exhibit a long and narrow appearance ; they lean more forward and assume an arched shape." Saving the Manure. Manure should be composed of fine materials, not only to hasten decomposition but to facilitate the handling of it. A certain degree of heat is necessary, as heat is simply the result of chemical action, but as soon as the materials in the center and near the bottom of the heap are decoraposed the heap should be handled by turning the materials over. "When this is done all the coarse materials or those recently added should be thrown to the center and well saturated with liquid manure, the whole covered to protect against the sun and rains. Should the heat become too high make holes in the heap with a crow-bar and pour in cold water until you can get an opportunity to turn it again. Manure so managed will re in proper condition for any kind of crop. Farm and Garden Notes. Plant more string beans and haTe them until frost Everjrreens of all kinds are inrigorated by an application of ashes. The common wild fox-grape is the best for arbors where dense foliage is preferred to fruit. The curculio attacks nearly all kinds of fruit, and does not confine its operations to the plum alone. The tomato bushes must now be examined daily or the large green worms will strip off the leaves. Manure the chrysanthemums, and work it around the plants into the soil. It will soon be time for them to tlower. Dahlias should be in full bloom if the soil is rich. The fall is the time when the sheep are coupled, and the breeding rams should be procured now, as they will be in greater demand and bring higher prices later on.. When a horse with a heavy load stops to rest do not start him again until he has had plenty of time to reoorer his strength. Some liorsea will show an inclination to proceed after they have thoroughly rested. Corn for the silo may be planted this month, provided the early varieties of sweet corn be used. Land that has produced a crop of early potatoes answers well for sweet corn, but plenty of manure should be used. Clover can be sown in the fall. The seed is put in about the middle of Augutt or September. To prepare the land plow it now and let the seeds of weeds rprout Just before seeding plow the land atajn. and dress it with a mixture of thirty bushels of lime and wood ashes, harrow welL sow the seed, and brush the

land ore", so as to lightly cover; the seed. It will make a better "catch" than when clover is seeded on grain in the spring. ' Leaky roofs in summer do damage as well as in wiuter. It is important that the crops stored in the barn be kept absolutely dry. A single leak will cause enough damage to pay for a new roof. Lettuce for late use rasy be sown every month. The plants will not be as thrifty as the earlier crops, but will give a continuous supply with but little cost. Sow the seed in rows or broadcast. Leaving the wagons and tools out In the sun is often the cause of some of the parts becoming loose. The best seasoned wood is affected by moisture and dryness, and all tools and implements not in use should be kept under cover. There is no such thing as "laying corn by," an expression applied to the period when the cultivator is no longer used. Corn requires cultivation as long as a horse can pass along the rows. Until all the weeds and grass are cleaned out the work in the cornfield is not finished. Exposure to the direct rays of the sun, without shade or shelter, is to cause great suffering to swine and sheep. During the heat of the day the animals will cease grazing and seek shade. A visit to the pasture will show exposed stock to be pating and suffering from the heat. If it can be done only occasionally it will be found that a thorough washing of the family cow will be of great advantage, ridding her hide of insects aud cleaning nway the dirt, thus permitting of a better condition of the skin. The udder should be washed at every milking It has been demonstrated that the straw from a wheat crop can be made to take the place of bay if cut -and fed in connection with grain. This should encourage farmers to give more attention to the storage of the straw, and to keep it in a clean, bright condition. It is suggested that the posts to which barbed wire is fastened for fencing be painted white, as they will then be better observed by cattle., Pieces of tin, painted white and fastened along the line of the wire, have also been recommended as a safeguard against injury. When the time arrives for cutting the corn in the field it should be stored in the barn as soon as well cured. Leaving it stacked in the fields invites waste and deterioration of quality. If there is insufficient room in the barn provide a cheap shelter. Exposure destroys one-half the value of the crop. During seasons when rains are frequent the effect of tile drainage is made very manifest by comparison with undrained fields. It requires but a short time for a tile-drained fieid to rid itself of the surplus water and become warm. Tile drainage has, in all cases, proved of incalculable benefit to lands that are liable to continued dampness from an excess of moisture. now to Make Salads. Cauliflower Salad One medium-sized head of cauliflower, half pint of mayonnaise. Boil the cauliflower as directed; throw into cold water until wanted; then pick it apart carefully, dry with a soft napkin, put in the salad dish, pour over the mayonnaise, let it stand fifteen minutes and serve. Cucumber Salad Two young cucumbers, half teaspoonful of salt, quarterteaspoonful of black pepper, four tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Tare and slice the cucumbers very thin, Koak them in cold water one hour, then drain and dry. Put them in the salad bowl, sprinkle them with the salt and pepper, and pour over the vinegar. Serve immediately. Salad of String P.eans Trim one pint of very young beans, put them in a sauce-pan, cover with boiling water, add a teaspoonful of salt and boil thirty minutes. When done drain and throw them inio cold water until very cold; then dry them with a soft towel, cut each bean in four pieces lengthwise, arrange them neatly on a salad dish, cover them with French dressing, let stand one hour and serve. Egg Sala'd Boil six eggs fifteen minutes; while tlieyare boiling make a French dressing and add to it one tablespoonful of tarragon vinegar, one tablespoonful of onion juice and one tablespoonful of finely chopped parsley. When the eggs are done remove the shells, cut into slices, and arrange them on a salad dish so that one overlaps the other; pour the dressing over while the eggs are still hot, stand away in a cold place for one or two hours, garnish with parsley aim serve. Tomato Salad. Six tomatoes, the criep part of one head of lettuce, half cup of mayonnaise dressing. Peel the tomatoes without scalding, and put them on ice until they are very cold. Make the mayonnaise, and stind it on the ice until wanted. The lettuce may also be washed and dried. When ready to serve cut the tomatoes in halves. Make twelve little nests with two or three salad leaves each, arrange uniformly on the dish, place half a tomato in each nest, put a tablespoonful of mayonnaise ou each tomato, and ßerve immediately. Tab'e Ta'L Lettuce Salad Choose the crisp center leaves of the head lettuce. Wash them, if necessary, and dry thoroughly and carefully with a soft towel. Break or tear the leaves into convenient pieces with a silver fork. Cover with a, French dressing, turn the whole upside down to mix it well, and Berve immediately. It is customary in this country to serve mayonnaise with lettuce salad, but after one has had a heavy dinner the simple French dressing is more refreshing. The followine may be made and served the same as lettuce salad : Watercress, sorrel, dandelions, nasturtium blossoms, peppergrass and corn salad. l'otato Salad Three good-sized potatoes, one teaspoonful of salt, one saltspoonful of black pepper, nine tablespoonfuls of olive oil, three tablespoonfuls of vinegar, one good-sized onion, three or four sprigs of parsley. Pare and boil the potatoes. While they are boiling prepare the dressing. Put the salt and pepper into a bowl, and add gradually the oil, stir until the salt is thoroughly dissolved; add gradually the vinegar, stirring all the while. Chop the onion very, very fine. When the potatoes are done, cut them into thin slice?, mix them carefully with the onion, then add the dressing, and turu them upside down without breaking the potatoes. Dish and stand away in a cold place for one or two hours. Sprinkle with the parsley, chopped very fine. The dish may be garnished with parsley and pickled beets, cut in fancy shapes. Mayonnaise Dressing Put the uncooked yelks of two eggs into a clean, cold soup dish, stand on the ice for fifteen minutes. Place the oil also ou the ice. When both are perfectly cold add to the yelks a half teaspoonful of salt, a dash of cayenne, and, if you like, a half teaspoonful of mustard. Work these well together, and then add, drop by drop, a half pint or more of good olive oil. You must stir rapidly and steadily while adding the oil. Do not reverse the motion or it may curdle. After adding 'one gilt of oil, alternate occasionally with a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar, The more oil you use the thicker the dressing. If it becomes too thick add about a half teaspoonful of vinegar. More or less oil may be added, according to the quantity of dressing wanted. With care a quart bottle of oil may be stirred into the yelks of two eggs, alternating with a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar, after adding the first gill of oil. In case the dressing should curdle, i. e., the oil and egg separate, which makes the dressing oily and liquid, begin anew at once with the yelks of two eggs on another plate, and after stirring them well, add by teaspoonfuls the curdled mayonnaise, stirring rapidly and steadily as before, and then finish by adding more oil as directed. This dressing, if covered tightly in a jar or tumbler, will keep in a cold place three or four days. It may be varied and improved by adding plain or tarragon vinegar, whipped cream, a half teaspoonful of powdered coriander seed, cervil or onion juice.

SOME RELICS OF THE PAST.

INTERESTING LETTERS OF LONG AGO. Gen. Zack Taylor's Comments OnHIs Defeat For the Presidency A Letter From the First llarrlsou An Early Tribute to Indianapolis. The Sentinel is indebted to Mrs. Mary A. Potts, an estimable and highly intelligent lady who has been a resident of Indianapolis almost from its incorporation as a city, for two interesting letters, which are subjoined, from two ex-presidents Zachary Taylor and William Henry Harrison. Neither of them has ever before been printed, and while they would be interesting if only in consideration of their authors, that from President Harrison will be especially interesting because of the eulogy it pronounces upon Gen. Washington. These letters are but two specimens of a large number of very interesting documents and mementoes of old-time days which Mrs. Potts has preserved with scrupulous care. She takes great pride in their possession and bitterly laments the fact that they constitute but a traction of the collection which she formerly had, but which has gradually been diminished by thefts of the most despicable character. Th letter from Gen. Harrison is not complete, some one having torn off and taken away the last page. She did not discover this theft until last summer, when, just after Gen. Ben Harrison's nomination (Mrs. Potts still calls him "Ben") she came to look for the document. The discovery of the theft caused her great distress. The letter was in response to one written by Mrs. Potts (then Miss Mary A. Pope), who had made a beautiful banner and sent to him along with the letter. Miss Pope's letter and the reply from Gen. Harrison were as follows; Indianapolis, June 2. 1841 Sir Permit me, with feelings of the most sincere respect and esteem, to address yoa these few lines; an l though to you I am an entire stranger, yet 1 trust you will excuse the freedom I take of introducing to vou Mr. William F. Slater of our city, who has politely otlered to convey this banner to you. which 1 beg you to accept, as a tokeu of my regard, to a defender of our country, and not for its intrinsic value. As the prosperity of our country in its infancy depended on the great and many virtues of tieorge Washington, so the people hare selected you, as a second Washin:ton, for the preserver of its liberties in its maturity. Believing that the same virtues are. snd will ever bloom in the heart of William Henry lisrrison, and that all their energies will be put forth for the preservation of our once prosperous republic. In view of this, I have encircled the heads of both with the same flowers, which thoueh simple in themselves, speak the language of the brave an4 worthy. The oak leaves represent bravery, true emblems of the beneficence that was mm. ifested in tho de tn of our country, and to which it is still indebted. The moss rose denotes superior merit, which ever has and ever will find response in the hearts of the people. The oak boughs speak truly of a feeling, for which we need no stronger rroof than to cast our eyes over our land and see the proud gatherings of the rop!e. to lend an ear to their shouts of joy when the name of the hero of our western country Is proclaimed aloud and responded to by all but the few who would trample true merit under their feet for their own self interest. Truly does it speak with George Washington, first in the hearts of his countrymen. Around the heads I have placed a wreath of strawberries, denoting a merit as far as it can be ascribed to man perfection. All have their failing, but few have been ascribed honestly to George Washington or William Henry Harrison. Perhaps you will look with more pleasure on this memento of my regard when I inform you that it was presented to the Marion county delegation and was borne by them upon the battle-field of Tipi'ecanoo; the bearer of it to you deliverei a highly in'.eresting and appropriate address when it was presented to them for that occasion. My mother proposed the motto placed over your head which, we think, speaks the language, of onr country. Please, sir, accept this simple gift and with it my sincere and heartfelt wishes for your health, prosperity and true happiness. Gen. William Henry Harrison. Yours truly wtth respect, Indianapolis, June 2, 1540. Mary A. PorK. North Bk.vd 14th Augt. lsto. General Harrison presents his best respects to Miss Mary A. Pope A has the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of the elegant banner & her very flattering letter of the 13th Ultimo from the hands of Win. F, Slater Eso,r. Absence from home A a continued presence of business must form his apology for having so long delayed to make this acknowledgment. General H. assures Miss Pope that ber present is regarded by him with great esteem, not only for its value as a splendid specimen of art in painting A embroidery but as a token of her retard for his public services. The association of Genl. H. with the fathr ot his country, on the banner he considers the highest honoar that Miss P could confer upon Lim. However great the distance which separates his humble services from the splendid achievement of that greatest A best of men, he has endeavored to make him the modd of his conduct in the discharge of the important trusts which in peace A in war have been conferred upon him by his country. If other statesmen A other military commanders have rendered important services to their country the naes of history do not furnish an instance of a single individual so perfect in all the characteristics which are desirable in the highly trusted servant of a free peop'e. The tomb has closed upon him. He can no longer in times of difficulty A danger personally cheer us by his courage or enlighten us by his wisdom, but his bright example remains, a legacy invaluable to his ciuntry, presenting as it does a picture surrounded by the emblems of II the qualities which we admire in the warrior, venerate in the statesman or love A honour in the man 4 private citizen. What an advantage to the successive rising generations of our Republic to be able to hare constantly before them a model thus perfect in the character of one of their own countrymen. It will have the effect of urging the good A the virtuous to redoubled exertionr in a course of public, duty of restraining the selfish t pr fligato in a contemplated career of unhal-owed ambition. General H assures Miss Pope that be will carefully preerve her present as well as her beautiful letter A leave thetn as relics to one of the most descrvinj of his grandchildren. The remainder of the letter, including the signature, was stolen. The letter from President Taylor was addressed to Mr. James R, Gordon, Mrs. Potts' first husband. It was as follows: Batox F.orGE, Loussana December 15 1?1S Tour highly esteemed letter rf the 1st inst, asking among other matters to be furnished with my autograph, was this moment received, which request is with much pleasure com pled with altho, a majourity of the voters of tNe good people of groing and prosperous state thought proper to cast their votes st the late election for my 0 pone&t. Yet 1 have no doubt they done so from the purest A best of motives; at the same time I was more than gratefield there was so ma jy of her sons stood by A sustained me on the occasion reared to, for which I shall be ever greatful. Kot with standing the slanderous attacks made on me in various ways by the army of office holders, and office seekers throughout the country, as well as in Indiana, by the party in power, pirticuiarly misrepresenting my course and report, touching thebatt:eof Buetia Vista in regard to the conduct of her gallant sons, who wer with me in raid battle, who I was glad to learn gave the lie to that base slander by most of them voting for me for the first ofliee in the gift ot a great and free people, and I m early will ay tho first in the word world.) Kor the very flattering terms you have been pleased to refer to my name in conjunction with that of the Honr. Millard Kültuore for the presidency accept my most conical thanks accompanied by my best wishes for your continued health and prosperty through a long life. With consideration of high respect & esteem I have the honor your sir, obt, Servt. Z Taylor Majr Genl, U S Army. Among many other curious relics Mrs. Potts has the following poem on Indianapolis, which shows that fifty years ago the people were as much in love with their city as now: INDIANAPOLIS, THE SKAT OF AIT AND ATTRACTION, ASD TH K KCBSKRV OF BEAUTY AND VIRTU. Not Burns, whom the Muses did fire. Such charms in Ediua could see Could never such pleasures inspire, As Poets find, 'Naplis, in thee. All equipage, splendor and style. Thy streets and thy mansions display; TL lasses the lilies outsniile. Ok the roses that decorate May. Environed with gardens and groves. All beauties, all pleasures invite; While music enchantinglv roves On the wings of the pure morning light.
