THE RECTOR’S DAUGHTERS. - Tag Rectory was the most comfortable house within the Parish of Hipping Mead. "The Rector, the Rev. Elam Martyn, was a widower with seven daughters, the eldest twenty-six, the youngest fourteen years old—he had been a widower some thirteen "years. Thus it happened that at the age of thirteen Gerty, his eldest daughter, .took upon herself the ordering of the household, and had remained ever since, as her father said, prime minis-. ter—a born administrator she was, and her father knew it. Never, from household disorganization had the Rector been once tempted these thirteen years. of widowhood, to cast'one thought on second wedlock, and the very possibility of such a thing had never entered his daughters’ heads. Itwas the first week in October, and Mr. Martyn went to Harrington, a meighboring parish, to indulge on a friend’s acres in some unclerical sport, and totake a Sunday’s duty. As he was absent.ten days, Gerty inaugurated a house cleaning—her usual escape for repreéssed energies. A ‘week had elapsed since his departure, the actual cleansing process was over, but the things had not been replaced in their respective localities, orderly confusion reigned supreme—even confusion was orderly with Gerty. . The six sisters sat at the breakfast table. Amy, the youngest, and an invalid, was on the sofa, the meal was just over, and| Gerty was opening the post-bag. Its only contents that morning was a letter from the Rector, addressed to ¢ The Miss Martyns.”” Rather surprised, Gerty, as the eldest, opened the letter. It was short, not half-a-dozen lines; she read it, and let it drop to the tloor, ¢ Girls!’ she cried in'a fainv voice, s ;Eapa is mayried.” » ! ¥ For a second or two no one spoke; then Nelly, with a white face, picked up the letter and read it aloud. It was as follows: ; ot ~ * My DEAR DAUGHTERS: This morning T married a widow with six children. BShe is a good manager, but the children are very unruly.. I hope to be home on Saturday night. Your loving father, : EpaM MARTYN,”?

‘The consternation at the breakfast table baftles description. A sob broke from Nelly; it was re-echoed at intervals by her six sisters, They looked at each other' blankly; then round the large and g¢osy room, taking a prospective farewell. Over the sideboard hung a full-length portrait of the late' Mis. Martyn. Gerty’s eyes led the way to its contemplation, the six other pairs followed suit. Gerty exclaimed: ‘“ My poor mother!” . In different keys each voice repeated the lament. - S ‘“lshall atonce go out as aladyhelp,”’ said Gerty, taking, as the eldest, the lead in .declaring her intentions. £ool

*“ And 1,” said Sophie, 1 shall get Cousin Tom to take me into St. Luke’s Hospital as nurse.; Luckily for me, like Gerty, my family and the village have trained me well for my vocation:’!, foy

“ chh a nurse asyou are!” they all cried.’ ““Oh, it's a shame!” 1 Then- Nelly, her father's favorite, wiping away her tears with angry gestures, cried: o : ‘ “Papa used to call me little Mrs. Fry. 1 think he was just prophesying, for I'll apply to the Governor of St.,! Gileg’ Prison to be made a female warder.. Bill Jones—Burly Jones, you know—has been often: there, and he says the female warders are quite ladies, and live by themselves.” o ()%:, Nelly!” they all exclaimed. ¢¢it is such an ugly dress. Your hair’s all cut; short, dﬁld you have to wear big keys at your side.”’ . «I shall at any rate be useful,’” said Nelly, loftily, ‘“and not in anybody’s way,”’ and she relapsed into tears In a soft and deprecatory tone, Emma took up her burthen. ‘ . *lt is a world full of pain,” she had sighed. ¢ Whatever our special vocations may be, man’s universal aim seems to be crushing woman’s best affections. 't I shall go as companjon to Miss Triniger; she has often asked me. Papa shall bave a quiet fireside.”” P Mis/s Triniﬁr!" ‘they all eried, horrified. ¢ Oh, t Miss Triniger; she never sees a soul, and she is so crabbed, so selfish. Oh, not her, Emma.” . ‘]l am patient,” said Emma, with the air of expectant martyrdom. - With a decidedky more cheerful voice, quivering between a smile and a tear, Mary, the tendershearted governess, announced her intentions. . |

“I shall marry Cousin Tom,’ she said. ¢‘l didn’t like to be the first to break our happy circle, but he wanted me to marry him months ago, so I'll.do it now.” i g i ¢ Oh, Mary!” they exclaimed, one after the other; ¢ Oh, Mary dear, we are so glad!” 71 * And then they all wept together." 'ln ‘a little time they dried. their eyes and “looked at Gracey, who made no gigni of delivering her resolution.” = =~ = & = < And you, Gracey,’’ they said, #* what will you do?” : A ‘ ‘¢ sisters,”” she replied, quietly, I shall stay here.”’ : : ‘“Here!” they echoed in different keys of astonishment. .., - . -*#Yes,” she repeated, ‘‘here., If papa will not need me; Amy'will. You forget Amy.’”., o 4 X i 3:: gL 0 i ‘““Amy,” -said -each, in a shamed L WIREPRT - BS LR RS . And then they all rose tpgether—all ¢ but’ Gracey, and gave thé invalid a pardgning kiss. . i ¢« Gracey is right,”” they said. *“One of us must stay here and take care of o e e And they ‘wished in their secret hearts that ifi their pride and anger, their wounded affections, ' their self‘agsertion and impulsive ‘reprisals, they had not forgotten Amy. ' .

Saturday " night' eame, and around the tea-table the si:;.:}shers, Amy lying on the couch as before, awaited the arrival of their father, =" =~ == | The seat at the head of the table was empty, -in expeetancy. ' Throughout the house a careless désolation re¥ned. No one spoke. _Each ‘watehed: the clock furtively. Seven struck. and three minutes afterward thegravel was scattered against the window, . the bell was rung hastily, the door opened, and unmet, unwelcomed, but certainly aot unexpected, Mr. Martyn returned to the bosom of his family. He was alone; his daughters rose simultaneously. “Well,” he cried, his eyes twinkling

| mischievously, “‘what’s happened, {Nelly?”? and {e looked at his favorite. ¢Not one kiss for papa from any of you girls?” - : ~ And then he counted them; beginning at Gerty, he called each by name, till, reaching Amy, he cried: 0 © “And Amy’'s seven. You're all here. And what a state the house isin,” looking quizzically about .the room; ‘““everything’s topsy-turvey; been frightened by ghosts?’”’ he laughed. ‘““ Why, Peggy ounly half opened the door for me, and Dan never opened his' ' lips from the station to the hall door.”’ “Papa,”’ said Gerty, severely, ‘“why didn’t you bring her in?”? - ¢« Who in?’ and the rector’s mouth twitched. : “The new mistress of Hipping Mead,” replied Gerty. : : - “Your wife, sir,”’ said Sophie. i ““Poor mamma’s successor,’’ sobbed

Nelly. . : ‘“ The strange woman,’’ cried Mary, reproachfully. . “Mrs. Martyn,” ‘said Emma, with convineing simplicity. - *The widow you married, sir,”’ said .Gracey.’ W ¢*And the six children,” piped poor, weak little Amy. ' ‘““Good gracious!” cried the rector, divesting himself of his outer coat. “A woman with so many individualities knew I never.”’ o o . Then all in concert demanded: ‘ ¢ Did you not write and tell us you had married a widow with six children?” g ‘“Yes,” replied the rector, laughing heartily; . ¢ yes, and so I did, but to another man.”’ o ~ The only one of the resolutions kept ‘was Mary’s. She did marry Cousin Tom; but.she always declared she had ‘been:frightened into it. ».

S Painting Walls. - ~ Or course everybody knows, or ought to know, that walls and ceilings are finished with plaster. But everybody may not be aware that plaster has the property of absorbing moisture. This, perhaps, will not take'place .in rooms where a fire is kept steadily; but in rooms left, as is often the case, for weeks without a fire, the walls will take up a considerable quantity of damp. The effect'will be injurious to the health of the inmates. There are few - persons who® hdve not suffered from a mysterious cold, caught they know not how, though, perhaps, damp in the plaster had something to do with it. : i _ ;

! The extentto which damp is absorbed. An a plastered wall may be discovered by noticing what so often takes place in rooms where the walls are painted and have ibecome chilled by, K a season of cold weather. As soonas the temperature becomes warmer the atmesphere is condensed on the walls, and at times in such quantities as to run off in streams. Now, had it. not been for the paint, the greater portion of this moisture would have been absorbed by the plastered walls. And as a consequence the quality of the plaster would have been impaired and thel room made unwholesome. In view of this defect,in plastered walls, it becomes a question'well worth considering, whether, in finishing a house, the walls should be papered or painted. If paint is decided on, it is highly necessary that the painting be properly done, and ‘good materials employed. White lead, which is the chief ingredient of all paint used, is of late years heavilye ‘adulterated—a reason why some painters can do work so much cheaper than others. There are also | dishonest painters who will lay on nothing but ¢ whitingX) and size for the first coat, and finish off with one coat. of oil paint. It is not easy to detect the fraud at the time, but as such paint. soon wears off the wall, and attaches itself to the garments of those who rub against it, the customer speedily finds out that he has been cheated. 1t takes taree or four coats of good oil paint, honestly laid bn, to make good work of painting plastered walls. | In painting walls there is ample scope for taste, and such colors may be chosen as are most suitable for each apartment, and in harmony with the furniture. Apartments lighted from the sonth and west, particularly in a summer residence, should be cool in their coloring; but the apartments of a town - house ought .all to approach

toward a warm tone. In a drawingroom the coloring should be characterized by vivacity, gayety and light cheerfulness; by light tints of brilliant colors, with a considerable deyree of contrast and gilding—the walls being kept in due subordination to ithe furniture, - though partaking of the general liveliness. @ The . characteristic coloring of dining-rooms should be | warm, rich and substantial, without vivid contrasts, and gilding should be avoided, unless in small quantities for the sake of relief. Parlors ought to be in.a medium style, between that of a drawing-room and din-ing-room. Libraries should be solemn, grave and quietin' color and finish, while bed-chambers should be. light, cleanly and exceedingly cheerful. A greater degree of contrast between the room and its furniture may be admitted in the chamber than in any other apartment. Stairways, halls and vestibules should be of a cool tone and simple in their style of colorin%', being in that what they are in utility—a link between the exterior qimplioi? of a house and its interior richness and comfort.— American Builder. ! s

—The rumor that an Italian firm were negotiating in the United States for an immediats supply of 100,000 tons of coal, in place of obtaining it from England, as heretofore, has caused uneasiness in London. A cargo of American coal reached the Mediterranean sixteen months ago, and met with a ready sale, and more than twenty cargoes have been sent over since that time. The Globe apprehénds that before long the coal industry of Great Britain will have to encounter determined rivalry on the part of the United states. ki) X )

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. WasniNGg DisHEs. —lf, before wetting greasy dishes, they are sprinkled with corn meal, or rubbed off with a small wisk-broom kept for that purose and dipped in adish of corn meal, &% will léave the dishwater:much cleaner and nicer for washing other dishes. The meal with which. they%la.re_ rubbed is not wasted, as it is just as good for the pigs or chickens. dhein . AN English paper gives precipitated carbonate of baryta as an efficacious poison for rats and mice. Itisa heavy, fine, white powder. It is used by mixing four times its weight with meal, and making into pellets with water. It acts by paralyzing the hind extremities. It is said that neither pigeons or poultry will touch it either in its soft state or when hard. Rabbits will eat it and have been killed by it.

To UtiLize OLp LINEN OR COTTON. —DBoil cloths that are too much worn for their legitimate use five rninutes in a pint of milk and ©ne ounce. of powdered ammonia. -As soon as taken out, wring in cold water. Be careful notto let them remain & moment in the water. Dry before a fire, not outdoors in the wind. Keep cloths thus prepared to polish plate or silverware. First wash and wipe the articles quite dry, then rub briskly with these cloths. The combination of'imilk and ammonia in which they were boiled will produce a beautiful deep polish like new silver. Dust them off with a soft chamois or a dry, soft towel before using.— Christian Union. : ,

THERE is perhaps no plant better suited for prolonged flowering during the winter months than the geranium, if handled in the following manner: Procure young plants of the varieties -you wish about the first of June. Put them in four-inch pots, this being the best to keep them in for the next four months. Use well-decayed sod, adding about one-third cow-manure. Mix thoroughly together; but do-not make too fine, as the geranium delights in rather a rough compost. Place about four inches of ashes under the pots. This will have the effect of keeping worms and other:insects out of the pots. Keep themy; on the dry side, as you do not want! to encourage growth. Should any flowers appear, pinch them off; also the leading shoots to keep them in shape. Toward the end of September repot them in sixinch pots—that is,’ six inches in diameter—in the compost recommended ‘above. ~ They will now commence to grow freely. About the 10th of October Yut them in their winterquarters, selecting: the window where they will get the most sun and light. Plants treated in °this manner will flower the whole winter.—Cor. Toronto Globe. :

WATERPROOFING FOR LEATHER.—A good article may be made by using paraffine melted with the requisite quantity of drying oil, and casting it into suitable blocks for subsequent use. This being softened by heat, the leather of the manufactured articles, as shoes and harness, is coated ‘with it and placed near a fire or in a warm place, until the composition has. been absorbed. When leather has been impregnated with the mixture it is not only perfectly waterproof, but it is also rendered softer and more durable. Shoes retain all their firmness and natural elasticity, and blacking makes upon them a better polish than before. This same composition is also useful for waterproofing woven goods. It is placed on the under side of cloth for garments either -by melting and applying moderately with a brush, or by rubbing with a block of the preparation. The complete diffusion of it through the texture is effected by passing the’ cloth between hot rollers. Fabrics prepared in this manner, while they repel water, are perfectly pervious to air. For this reason they are superior to ordinary oil-cloth and rubber goods. They also look better than garments made of rubber, as the finished appearance of the cloth is in no way changed by the treatment.—Journal of Chemistry. Pt g

’ Mere Sheep. As we gradually come down to practical farming—that kind of farming which is founded on care, watchfulness and work—more sheep will be raised. They are a safe and profitable stock, but not for a careless or irregular farmer. A man who raises sheep will have to stay at home, and all our farmers should practice more of that virtue. A great many farmers came West with the idea that it was easy to make a fortune here, and it seems next thinf to impossible to get it out of their heads. They appear determined to take life easy if they starve atit. Go to any town, and there will be seen scores and hundreds of men from the country idling away their time lounging akout the street. If they intend to support their families and pay their debts, they should transact their business in town and return at once to their farms. There is always profitable work there if they have an appetite for that kind of exercise. /

But until farmers quit spending so much of their time in the neighboring towns, sheep husbandry will never be one of the industries. Something will have to be followed which will take care of itself. But they must come to sheep raising as one of the branches of mixed farming. The necessities of the farm and the demands of commerce cry loudly for it. There are in all parts of the world 484,000,000 of sheep, of which the United States have only 35,000,000, and a large portion of these are in the almost uncultivated portions of the United States. The woolen manufactories of this country use annually about - 227,000,000 pounds of wool, while our whole production of wool amounts to only 170,000,000 pounds, : ; : - But long-wooled sheep are just suited to mixed husbandry. They furnish the best meat and the best wool. They bring back to fruitfulness worn-out lands, and replenish pockets depleted by high interest and high taxes. 'The care of them brings men bacz to constant industries and rural contentment. There is no dog law wanted. A good gun and plenty of strychnine, and careful attention, are all a farmer needs. A ‘dog on a farm is a good institution, but

there is' his place, and at any other place he ought to be shot as a tramp. A wholesome public opinion on this subject, and a strict use of a Henry rifle, will rid the country of all dog nuisances, and protect the good dog, ‘who stays at home on the farm, as more farmers should do. .

But there’is too great a disposition to do things on a large scale. They are not content to raise sheep unless they do it by the thousdnd. Contagious diseases break out and sweep them away, and bankrupt the owner. The same with cattle. Farmers too often are not ccntent to keep a few good cows, raise hich grade calves and steers, make them choice, sell for good prices, and keep out of debt. But they unwisely borrow money, buy steers by the hundreds or thousands, buy corn, and tten sell at a loss, when the farm istaken to pay thesdborrowed money. There must be more modest, careful; prudent farming by the owner, instead of spending time in town, and trusting all to hired hands.—Jowa State Regisier.

' Profits of Farming. | DuriNG the years of inflation, many farmers imbibed the notion that they could run a farm by hired help, and make a heavy profit on the products, But times have changed. 'By the ruder and simpler ways of farming, which too many yet practice, there is no profit. Low prices for all kinds of produce render it necessary that the proprietor should be the operator. Late hours in bed, and afternoons in the adjoining towns, no longer answer. The farmer who would prosper now must be the first up in the morning. Early breakfasts must be the rule. The proprietor must see, himself, that the stock are fed and watered—the horses curried and harnessed ready for the field. Then he must lay off his coat and say ‘‘come boys.”” Itisnecessary keshould be on the ground to see that everything is done right and in time—and in the shortest time. He must have his eye on his men, his teams, his crops, and all the operations. It is not neeessary in these operations that his laborers, if his farm be so large as to require them, should feel that he is oppressive or unnecessarily exacting. He can, by the spirit in which he carries himself, make work pleasant and light, and all around him happy—and yet double the work done that would be in his absence. He can have a pleasant word for his laborer, his sons, his wife and daughters, and thus they will harmoniously cooperate with him in pushing the labors of the farm. In case of emergencies they will willing put in extra exertions to bring about special objects greatly to his benefit. But the necessity of the times require that the farmer should be the first astir—carry the heaviest load, and remain longest in service. Thisis a dark prospect, but by the sweat of his face he thus will be enabled to eat bread, pay his taxes, and redeem his homestead from incumbrance. We are coming back to hard times, and nothing but hard work, wisely applied, can golve the problem. ‘Adopt the rule which never fails of success, ‘ Get the dollar béfore youspend it.”’—JTowa State Regrster. ;

The Pansies. . WE put in a strong plea for the pansy. With a little imagination, you can seé them looking up at you with human face. They can stand almost any treatment or temperature, are natives of Siberia. They have several pet names, *‘‘Forget-me-not,”’ ¢ Call Iﬁe to You,” ¢“Thought,” ¢Jump Up and Kiss Me,” and various others. They prefer-a shady place, cool and moist. Never raise the beds to plant them in. The shady side of a house is a gocd place, and every person has just such a place. They are called ¢ StepMothers” from an imaginary peculiar} ity. Turn a flower over and you willsee five flags and five seats or chairs. The biggest flag, the mother, occupies two seats; the next two, her own dangh-. ters, each one seat; and the last two, ‘her step-daughters, nearly always clad in dark color, have to sit upon one chair only. Pansies pay ‘largely by their modest deportment and their smiling faces from April until November. And if a cold frame be provided for them they will bloom all winter. They are brilliant in variety, and profuse in quantity of flowers. Whilst they live urnder hard treatment, they produce finer and larger flowers by good treatment. The variety of one plain color are called ¢ selfs,” or selfish. They are not so beautiful as those in which small colors are combined. The most ‘prevalent kinds are the plain purple ‘and violet of many shades. But there are pure white, and pure yellow, as ‘well as stained, blotched, variegated, copper color, etc. They always in_crease in size and beauty in the fall as the weather grows cooler. When will you plant? Now. The earlier in the spring the better. They, mar no lawn, yard, or landscape, so modest in size, yet so lovely in deportment.—lowa State Reguster. :

A Good Lawn. Fe No erEATER fallacy exists than the idea that spading is better than plowing of dn equal depth. No tilth can be better than that given by the plow, followed by frequent and continual applications of the harrow. - Leveling with the spade can then be executed in the most perfect manner, and the finishing touch ean be given by & light cross-plowing and harrowing. Seed shonld be always liberally applied; and, instead of the various lawn-grass mixtures, we believe in the use of simple red-top seed, together with a very little white clover; and when it is thus applied (during quiet hours of the day that it may fall evenly), two or three years should suffice to grow a thick, velvety turf. Weeds are the great enemies of good turf, and every lawn should be kept as free from these pests as a flower-garden. The employment of good artificial fertilizers = greatly helps to secure permanent freedom from weeds, since~foul seeds cannot very well lurk in them.—Scribner’s Monthly. ]
