The end nroved that m v snani. cion were well founded; in his palace was found an immense number ot arms of all kinds, and his papers disclosed the existence of a conspiracy with most extensive ramifications. Broglio and three others of bis clas were arrested , and, and with the Count L , were tried, found guilty, and bot within twenty-four hours afterwards, Georges continued to live with me. but be had undergone a great change ; he would .AMaiM fr- Iiamu i .

There are as good men in Wall street as ever breathed. but they don t walk m platoons. It means something for a virtuous man to be upright

The house th-y say, "Mv minister told me that riches is a two-story structure, and every now and

The Lord does not teach that to seek riches is wicked, bat that the lovers of truth and of happiness cannot be Ailed by riches alone. The divine commaudent is: First seek the Kingdom of Heaven, and all the rest shall be added. ' The treasures spoken of by Christ are not such treasures as men run after in Wall street. They are not left behiiid when we leave this world, bnt they always go with us.

As we have trained the mind here, so we shall begin with it in the other life. No person who has ever made bis higher nature resplendent here will ever lose it in the world to come. It is impossible for a man to hide his good works, even on earth. He might as well attempt to pat the sun in a dark lantern. Aspiration is vital.

English Remedy Tor Polygamy. From the San Franclfcco Bull. tin. English writers axe constantly scandalize by the existence of polygany in Ctah.

The remedies they "nave professed for this abomination have been greatly diversified, bnt none of them such aa we have beeu able to avail ourselves of. It appears that of late they have found polygamy existing among their own sub i..nl t i .. L' .. -. 1 ; . I . I m. jects in an English colony. The natives of T a i.. ...... Natal, it seems, are in the habit of not only inuuigiug in a plurality of wives, bnt of openly buying and selling them at auction. Wives were thus largely monopolized by , the wealthy - a very undesirable condition f of things. English reformers naturally undertake to remedy this. In doing so I they evinced ideas that were at least vry practical, if they had no other merit to commend them. The;, abandoned all the j fine sentimentality they indulged in when giving advice to the Americans, and went to work in quite unother way. They did not even absolutely prohibit the practice. They sought to regulate and tax it and its . abases out of existence. To stop the auc , Hour they fixed the highest prices at which a wife might be sold at ten head of cattle.

PLYMOUTH, MARSHALL

AN ARISTO! RA TIC GHOST. 1 Drive. From the bonUvUle Courier-Journal, Oct 9. Louisville, it is now conceded, hw a haunted house; that is to say, as much of a haunted houe as can be expected in the present incredulous pooh-p -hinge. mdition of the public mind as to the apjiearances 1 J . Ll I ami uisap Hriitiince oi ui. :iaiie visitors niusory, and snauow-iiiui liseu niigiii De explained away into suostantial territory and annexed to our tremendous country, if some emphatic, must-be-so philosopher would but undertake the job. Looking at it from these premises, and in the day time, the haunted house wo hear about as being located within the corporate limits of Louisville, may yet lo explained away and converted into rentable property. Th;s house, at whioh we arrive by a rout? so cuitous, is down town. We do not choose to give it a particular location, for we have no designs on the property, and cave nothing for the sueers of the incredulous, who would insinuate, that, because the number and street are not mentioned, the house exists only iu the brain of some over-worked reporter whose miduight oysters are yet in a state of non digestive preservation. The house can certainly be , seen, and if the ghost is as certain as the ' then the blinds will be thrown open, cur tains will appear under the windows, and the smoke of a kitchen fire rolls out of a portly chimney. This is a sign that a tenant has been found. After a lapse of a day or two, the curtamf ime down, the blinds come together with a bang, the air above the chimney is clear, aud big wagon, 4ull of furniture, moved solemnly away from the front. Then the tenant is gone. It maybe that he has not advanced rent, or it may be ahalf-a-docn other things, but 1- comes aud goes, and others come and go, and the haunted house remains without a tenant. One of the large rooms in the house is the subject of the neighborhood gossip, aud strange, weird sights are said to have been seen in this room. Some time ago, a committee of M stout men. nrich more familiar with the yielding qualities of beef-st-ak. than with the conventionalities of spiritual society, wert- detailed to visit the house aud occupy the haunted room until :

the gho4t should appear. They went early coagulated, the pores of the shell closed, oue night, when a storm was howling and the egg, as it were, canned in its own through the city, aud when, in the gloom t covering. Thus prepared, the eggs are and darkaesa. each lonely street lamp seem- ! ready to be packed away in the cask designed a grinning dettb's head or a leering jack ed to hold them for future use. Spread a o'hvitern. These ghostly, dickering J' of salt over the bottom of the cask or

street lamps might well have been taken tor the top-lights of strolling cornsea. come out of some of the old cemeteries for a tramp through the deserted avenues and a peep at the shrugging watchmen, cowering for shelter in the dark corners aud doorways along the route. The portly 1 '1, however, could see no such sights as these, for, as they pursued their way to the haunted house, they laughed and cracked jokes at the expense of the ghost, and scarcely noticed wliat a dismal night was over them. At length, arriving at the house, they struck a light, and made their way to the room said to be the resort of the ghostly visitor.

The 1 12 strained their eyes and some of them sat open-mouthed. As the vapor uppeared, the aanad of carriage wheels liecame louder, and in a moment, to the horror of the coini mittew, a carriage itself, black as a hearse, came rolling into the middle of the room and stopped. No horses were visible, but ; as soon as the roll of the wheels had ceased, a figure resembling that of a iady, clad in white, suddenly appeared and was seen ; to step into the strange vehicle. Then the carriage wheeled oft and was seen no more. The rattle of the wheels died away in echoes, and the lights in the room shot up again, the vapor disappearing with the ap pari tion.

CO., IND., OCTOBER Aunnilh'.rai. FARM, WARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD The Wat to Blanket Horses. - Bnt tew persona comparatively understand how to apply a blanket to a horse to prevent him from contracting a cold. We frequently see the blanket fo'ded donble and across the animal's back, leaving those parts of the body which need protection entirelyexposed to the cold. Those parts of the body of a horse which surround the 'nngs require the benefit of a blanket in preference to its flanks aud rump. vThen we are exposed to a current of cold air, to guard against any injury from contracting cold, we shield our shoulders, neck, chest and back. If these parts be protected, the lower part of the body will endure a degree of cold more intense, with out any injury to the hotly, than if the lungs were not kept warm with suitable covering The same thing holds good in the protection of horses. The blanket should cover the neck, withers, and shoulders, and brought around the breast and battoned or buckled together as closely as a man buttons his overcoat when about to fare a driving storm. Let the las of a horse be well protected with a heavy blanket, and he will seldom contract a cold, even i; the hindmost parts of his body are not covered Many of our best teamsters protect the breasts of their horses by a piece of cloth about two feet square, hanging down from the lower end of the collar. Tuis is an excellent practice in cold weather, as the most important part of the animal is constantly sheltered from the cold wind, especially when traveling toward a strong current. The forward end ol horse blankets should be made as closely around the bre.ist of a horse as our garments fit our bodies. Most hones taks cold as men, if not blanketed while standing after exercising sufficiently to produce perspiration. So j !onr as he hone. V8. keptJ in .motjon' there i- nun1 danger oi ins sunering r oin coia; but allow him to stand for a few minutes without a blanket to protect his shoulders and lungs, and he will take cold sooner than men. Er. Peeseevxho Egos. At a late meeting of the Western New York Farmers' Cub, Mr. Quinby, a? reported by the American Farmer, gives his method of preserving eggs, considering it timely, as the season for packing tor winter use is at hand. His i practice is to gather the eggs from the nest, and when two or three dozen are obtained, 1 to place them iu a dish and pour scalding water over them, and immediately turn it I off. This process is repeated three tiuies. f which means the albumen is fixed or crock, sufficient to steady the eggs, and j then set tham in a circle, apex downward, till th,. onf.ia ,- -. . m4U ' - - - A J3 J

Hog raising demands a certain kind of farming; horse raising another, and sheep raising the third and very different one. For aogs, you want small fields for clover, ryi, oats, corn and roots; low and close fences; numerous pens, a feed house with steaming apparatus and a liberal supply of fixed and movable troughs. For sheep, yon want several pastures of tine grass, some hilly ground, root and corn and oat crops, barns of a peculiar model, low sheds, folds, combined feed troughs and mangers, a meshing room, and if you can get it, a clear stream from some mountain source. For horses and mules, you want corn and oat fields, meadow, pastures, stables, sheds, hay-barns, dry-yards, and for the brood mares, paddocks with shed stables. The fences should le strong and high and the inclosures of the yards should have the resisting power of the I stockades of a fortress. So peculiar are the improvements and the farming reonired by each class of stock, that the traveler ! flying by on a railroad car is at no loss to tell, at a glance, what the lea. hug stock is on each farm he passes. Citbe fob Sheep-Chasino Doos. - A large deer hound of mine, or rather of my father's, (a prize winner at Birmingham), with not being well looked after got into the habit of chasing sheep, and killed them too, whenever he had an opportunity. H was sharply corrected and kept chained up for some days, but wheu taken out be was as bad as ever. My father happily remembered how he had cured a large retriever of the same siu five-and thirty years before, and we have, I am pleased to say. made a perfect euro of my deer hound. " After one of his chases he was taken up to the sheep farm, securely tied between twa old Scotch rams, and then let loose in the yard. No sooner were they let loose, than all three being good jumpers, they cleared the wail, and the dog was dragged about the park till all three were dead tired. The poor fellow was taken home, and I can assure j VOQ sheep-chasing is now the very last thing of all others that he ever thinks of. !' orre.vpoMdewce of the Field, Stortno Potatoes. If potatoes are to be stored in a cellar, it must be either naturally dry or made so by proper drainage. The I potatoes ought also to be dry when put inj to it that is, they should lie for an hour or two nt least after digging Vxdbre they are carted to the cellar. It makes them clean er, or course, to knock all the dirt from them while picking them no. and keep that which settles to the wagon floor from going in the cellar with them ; but they will keep better iu the bin if these precautions are not taken, and a considerable portion ol dry earth is allowed to go with them. Transmission or Mental Disease. Dr. Charles Elam, an English physician, has just published a book in which medical problems are discussed. Of the transmis-! sion f mental disorders, he says: TLere is no form of heritage more remarkable than that of the tendency to sui. eitle without -.ny other marks of aberration of intellect Dr. Winslow relates the case of a family where all the members exhibted, when they arrived at a certain age, a desire to eommit self-destruction; to accomplish which, the greatest ingenuity and industry were manfeeted. Dr. Gall relates a very striking instance of seven children of one man who all enjoyed a competency and good health, yet all possessed a rage for suicide, and all yielded to it within thirty or forty years. "Some hanned. some drowned themselves, and others blew oat their brains. " Many other examples of the same tendency are brought forward by the same writer. I may add one case to the above from my own experience. Sitting one day with :u acquaintance, I noticed some depression in his spirits. After a prolonged silence, he broke out into the following dreary attempt at conversation: ' 'My grandfather hung himself, my uncle took poison, my father shot himself, I shall cut my throat The tacts were correct; but constant surveillance prevented the sequel in his own history. An Adirondack correspondent tells a good story illustrative of the responsibility of travelers in that region for introducing the vices of civilization. A gentleman who had a good supply of liquor in his camp was generous enough te treat his guide. This unsophisticated forester got so furiously drunk that his employer was afraid to stay in camp with him, and essayed to get away; but his guide intercepted him, and forced him at the point of the pistol to row the boat with the guide as passenger, all the way to the next inn. - Mrs. Stowe 's reply to her" assailant will probably make a f mall volume It will be published by Fields, Osgood & Co.

The day after hisarrival in that city, while taking a walk about the town witn Captain , he observed a lot of fine horses on sale exhibition, and desiring to present his daughter and son-in-law with something in that line, he stepped up and priced one or two ol the animals.

A few years sgo a large drug firm in this city advertised lot a boy. Next day the store was thronged with applicants, among them a queer-looking little fellow, aceonipanied by a woman, who proved to be hi i aunt, iu lieu of faithless pirents, bv whom i . . . . . " "JK-Mii he had been abandoned. Looking at this little waif, the merchant in the store promptly said : "Can't take him; places all full; besides, he is too small." "I know he is small," said the woman; "but he is willing and faithful." There was a twinkle in the boy's eyes which made the merchant think again. A partner in the firm volunteered to remark that he 'did not see what they wanted of such a bov he wasn't bigger than a pint of c ider." But after consultation the boy was set to work. A few days later a call" was made on the boys in the store for some all night The prompt respo little fellow contrasted well with the relueto nrc nf rf Viovo Tti tlm mi1. vik.ii' va wbuvao au i.h hum lit "i til ' t L 111 uie mercnant loosen in to see it nil was right iu the store, and presently discovered his youthful protege busy scissoring labels. "What are you dong?" said he; "I did not tell you to work nights. ' ' 'I know you did not tell me so, but I thought I might as well be doing something." Iu the morning the cashier got orders to "double that boyjs wages, for he is willing." Only a few weeks elapsed before a show of wild beasts passed tbrongh the streets, and very naturally all hands in the store rushed to witness the spectacle. A thief saw his opportunity, and entered in the rear door to seize something, but in a twinkling fonnd himself firmly clutched Oythe dimiuuitive clerk aforesaid, pnd, after a struggle, was captured. Not only was a robbery prevented, but valuable articles taken from other stores recovered. When asked by the merchant why he staid behind to watch when all others quit their work, the reply was, "You told me never to leave the store when others were absent, and I ll . mm . thought I'd stay." Orders were immediate- j ly given once more: "Double that boy's wages ; he is willing and faithful. " To-day that boy is getting a salary of $2,500, and next January will become a member of the firm. CcRiors Phenomenon.- A singular phenomenon, we are informed, has been witnessed in the vicinity of a village in upper Austria. On Thursday, the 19th ult, the soil covering several yokes of laud in the neighborhood of Moll, a few leagues from the town of Steyer, suddenly fell in with a crash like thunder, and where the oats were waving a few seconds before, there suddenly appeared a lake. The water of this newest addition to upper Austrian scenery is clear, its temperature is verylow, and it is said to have much resemblance to that of the glacier lakes. Though the river Steyer passes at no great distance it does not appear that any communication exists between them ; at all events, there is reason to believe that the lake receives no contribution to its waters from the river, though the contrary may be possible. The water of the river is said to be chemically different from that contained in the newly discovered natural reservoir.
