A Bad Story.

Yesterday morning our special telegrams announced the end of a weary life, in stating that Theodore, eldest son of Henry Clayhad died in the Lexington Lunatic A>-ylum, after a long confinement The record of his blasted life is briefly thus: At 30 yean of age, Theodore Clay was a promising lawyer. He was the image and the hope of the statesman whose fame was on every tongue. It is true that there were whispers of wild living, and of in different morals, that somewhat tinged the fair repute and even darkened the future prospects of this scion of a nob e house. Still it was hoped that these were but the result of youth, and would be cast aside when circumstances called upon the matured m»n to assert himself and make his talent felt in the community. It was at this turning poiqt in his life that Theodore Clay began to pursue; with an unwearied perseverance that caused his friends great uneasiness, a young lady of Lexington, whom he had long loved hopelessly. The object of his attachment, who is at present one of the brightest ornaments of Kentucky society,repulse d firmly but kindly, every attention ofiend by the infatuated young man, after his meaning had become manifest. It was of no use, he would not be refused, and followed his fair fate in the streets by day and wandered in the neighborhood of her hon e by night, in an annoying manner, until at last it became evident that he “ was not all there,” to use the soft phrase by which a kindly peasantry express insanity. Subsequent violent demonstrations tended to confirm the impression, it being even related that he went to the house of Mr. and demanded his daughter at the pistol’s point; until at last the wretched truth could no longer be ignored, and confinement in the asylum became a stern neces sity. This was accordingly done (in 1832, we believe), his father providing for his support at that time, and leaving * 10,000 in his will, the income from which was secured to Theodore for life. That life, after thirty-eight years of imprisonment in what, in the earlier days of his confinement, he was wont to call “a good b ard-ing-house, but having some of the biggest fouls he ever saw as boarders,” has just closed. For nearly thirty years .he was one of the most noted of the inmates, not only his proud descent, but -his graceful manners and flow of conversation rendering him an object of interest to all visitors. He labored under the hallucination that he was George Washington, and was fond of assuming the traditional attitudes of the Father of his Country. At the occasional balls given to the inmates (averaging some five hundred in num,ber) he was always exquisitely dressed, in the style of his day, and was the beau par excellence. During all these long years, despite his general gentleness and cheerfulness of manner, he was restless and discontented,and required close watching, it never, in fact, having been considered prudent to allow him to go out into the grounds without attendants. About the year 1860 his condition began to grow worse, and he soon after became demented, continuing in hopeless idiocy until a tew days since, when Death, greater healer than Time, placed him again upon an equality with the peers of his early manhood, who had gone before him to that God that created him and did with him according to His inscrutable will. And so ends as sad a story as the truth of history ever commanded to be written. Two sons of Henry Clay yet survive him, T, H. Clay, ex-Ministerto Honduras, now residing on his place, “Mansfield,” near Lexington, and John M. Clay, the raiser of “ Kentucky,” and one of the greatest turf men living.— Cincinnati inquirer, May 17.

Little Savings Banks.

“There is nn use in keeping a pig this year,” said Mr. Positive to his wife. “ I haven’t a doubt but the pair we fatted last year cost us thirty cents a pound. It’s a great deal better to buy one ready dressed in the fall and nut it un.” “ But think what a convenience that pork barrel and tub of lard have been to us all this winter. I don’t know how we could have got on without it, with all other provisions so dear. lam afraid you will think a pig costs so much ready money in the fall that you can’t afford to buy one. We don’t feel its cost when we pay out a little at a time.” “That is just a woman’s way of looking at the matter,” said Mr. Positive, with a sneer. “They never can be made to see that money in a lump is just the same as money broken into dimes and quarters. You know it will be just the same in the end. So what is the uee in discussing the matter.” . 1

Mrs. P. sighed tuherself, “what’s the use, to be sure.” She had learned by experience that there was very little use in trying to set her husband right, no matter how crooked his notions were. Her only consolation was,* in the present matter, that experience is a sure if it is a dear school. Well, the season rolled round. There was much refuse from the kitchen that must be wasted because there was nothing to eat it, which would, have cone a long way towards keeping a pig. The time for packing down the pork had come, and as is quite common it had “suddenly taken a rise.” That is, it was two cents higher than was expected, and Mn Positive was indignant. “Catch him paying such an exorbitant price for pork. .No, Indeed; he could go without rather than submit to such extortion. Forty dollars, a . good pig would cost him. He should life [ to know where the money was to come 1 from, lie hadp't half that some ahead." ' Mrs. P. did not say,' “I told you so," but : lam afraid she looked it a little, and I am ■

quite COLfident she thought it. Mr. Positive was convinced, if he did not own it. He niis-' il his delicate doughnuts, and delicious, flikeypiu crusts'that winter; and he w»« obliged, to depend on a very in different market for his supply of meat and sausages. And then the sum paid seemed greater than the cost of all the corn he bought f<>r his last year’s pigs. The fact was that he learned what many others are slow to learn, that such . things as pigs anj poultry are the householder's small savings banks. The money they spend on them would be flirted away on trifles, and not saved up so e.s to constitute a fund for making such purchases all at once. They help also to form habits of frugality and thoughtfulness, without which no one can thrive. I know a lady who always puts her refuse into the stove. If crupibs and crusts are left over, they are scraped into the tire. If a pie is burnt so as to be unfit sos the table, it shares the same fate. It is a very bad example to set before children and servants, and may lay the foundation of future thriftlessness and poverty. It is a handy thing to have a dozen or two of nice chickens to fall back on in an emergency, when a good dinner is wanted for unexpected guests. Poultry is always high, and out of the reach of many who could easily raise a brood or two of chickens and never miss their food. It takes prudence and paines-taking to do this economically, but it pays for the convenience and comfort it brings to the family.—Country Gentleman.

Drains and Cellars.

BY A PHYSICIAN.

If there is any one thing more than another, about a farmer’s house, which should'in the spring time be attended to, it is the cleaning out of all the drains, the cellar, and evi ry place where animal or vegetable matter can accumulate and decay. ~~ ——- - , ■ _ Trie drain leading awav the slops from the kitchen, the drain of the cellar and the cellar itself if it has been the receptacle of stores for the winter, are not unfrequently the source of gaseous emanations that induce most formidable and fatal diseases in the household. It is both filthy and disgusting to good taste to allow these places to go uncleaned until far into the summer, and something every man ought to be ashamed of, if there was no higher reason. But this consideration amounts to nothing compared with that which relates to the effect on the health of those who live near enough to be influenced by such neglect. One of the most deadly poisonous gases has its chief origin in the region of farmers’houses, from just such sources ; places where something can decay. This gas is nilphureted hydrogen ; sewers, cesspools and privies are the homes of its growth. An atmosphere containing’one part of this gas to eight hundred, will kill birdsat once ; one part in every three hundred is destructive to dogs in a shopt time; in an atmosphere with one part in every hun dred and fifty, a horse has been found to die in a little while, and a little over one per cent of it is destructive to some plants Man is able to breathe one per cent of this gas, but he at once feels its injury, and no one has had the fortitude to inhale, it for more than a few minutes at a time ; to abide where one per cent, must be breathed for any considerable period would surely be death. These facts are the results of careful experiments by scientific men. These demonstrate how easy it is to have an element floating in the air which is a rank poison, and purely as the result of negligence or thoughtlessness. The family get sick, have typhoid fever, several members Ccrhaps in succession, and the climate is lamed for Insalubrity, when only the people themselves are at fault. Many housekeepers are perplexed because the paint—common white paint—with which their houses are embellished, gets so easily and quickly tarnished, it turns yellow soon after being put on. The paint is condemneilas an inferior article, and any substitute of another composition which will not tarnish is hailed as a new fortune. The paint turns yellow by union of its lead with the sulphur of its toxic gas, making a sulphide of lead which is of a dark color; hence the alteration in the hueJof casings and doors. The rapidity wbh which the w< od-work changes its light shade to a dark one, is just the pace at which the stock of life-force of those who bnathe the air in the house is being eaten away; their color, meanwhile is changing from a rosy freshness to a pale and weary cast. Purify the atmosphere, and the dwelling aud dwellers alike, will retain their beauty and appearance of health. Another matter which ought to be most carefully looked after is the well, whence the water for the house is procured. During the summer, a great quantity of dust and fine dirt falls into it, but they are not always of so deleterious a character as what gets in during the spring. If dirt sifts into the well it seldom does injury tor pure earth and filth are different things.

In winter, large piles of garfiage are not un'requeqtly accumulated near the well, which in solution may in part flow into the water in the spring; then some drain may flow not far from it, a privy may be near by, or a pig stye and a barnyard. As the earth softens under the vernal sun, it is not a difficult thing for these pestilential juices to percolate their way many feet through the soil to the well, especially when the latter is sunk in so soft and battery a soil and one so full at seasons with surface-water as that in, Northern Illinois. When the drinking water gets cqjitami- i nated with any of these substances there j is not the slightest surety of health on the part of those who take it ; typhoid, fever and similar diseases arc its natural i fruits, and ten thousand cases of these’ deeply dire maladies can be directly i traced to such pollutions—usually from . some privy or barnyard. This tact has been proven by ample experiment and observation by men who have made it a i life study. Good health and poison in the air we breathe, or dissolved in the water we drink, are incompatible.— Prairie Farmer.

Best Place for a Horse.

“ Gossipper” in the Rural World, says : “ Wimer or summer, except in stormy time, there is no place so comfortable for colts or tired work horses as a good pas ture lot. To tie up a tired horse at night in a narrow cell, with a plank floor to stand on, is a species of cruelty that civilization ought to be ashamed of. If the poor animal must be confined like a convict in a dungeon, for pity’s sake let him have his he*d, and give him at least twelve feet square, with a soft dry floor to stand or lie on. “In the large cities land'is worth more in money than horses; but on the farm j there is no excuse for any such wicked i economy.’ Ask the horse what; he wants, and he will tell you that a place Where he can walk around, lie down and stretch his tired limbs, and roll over from one side to the other, gives him shore ease audcomloit, after a day of hard work, than the most costly plank stall, with all the rtf curry-comb, stiff bristle brushes, rubber cloths and* dexterous howlers that can be

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. All women know that it Is branty, rather than genius, which all generations of men have wor- ( shipped Id the eex. Cun it be wondered at, then, that so much of woman’s tfme and attention wbould be directed to the means of developing nnd prcpcrviig that beauty i Women know, too, that when men epeak of the intelfect of women, they p peak tri treaty, tamely, cooity; but 'when they come to tpeak of the charms of a beautiful woman, their language and their eyes kindle with an enthusiasm which shows them to be foundry, if rot, indeed, ridirulonsty. in eanH-atv It is part of the natural sagacity of women to perceive all this, and therefore employ every allowable art to become the goddess of that adoration. Preach to the contrary, a« we may, asninst the arts employed by women for enbar cing their beauty, there stillstands the eternal fact, that the worid does not prefer the society of ah ugly woman of genius to that of a bennty of les* intellectual acquirements. The world has yet allowed no ' higher mission to woman than to be beautiful, and it won d seem th it the ladies of tho present ag are carrying this idea of the world to gre ;*er extremes than t-ver. for all w<»mcn now to whom nature h is dented the talismanicpower of besu>y, supply the d .ficieticy by the use of a moat delightful toilet article, knowm as the “Bloom of Youth,” which has been lately introduced into this country by George W. Laird, a delicate bcautifler, which smooths out all indentations. furrows, scars, removing tan, freckles, and discolorations from the skin, leaving the complexion clear, biilliant and beautiful, the skin soft and smooth. With lhe as.-istance of this new American trick of a Lady’s toilet, female beauty is destined to play a larger part in the admiration of men and lhe amnition of women than all the art® employed since her creation. Prof. C. F. Chandler, Chemist to the Metropolitan Board of Health, has recently prepared a chemical analysis of this delightful toilet preparation, and reported that the ” Bloom of Youth” was harmless, containing nothing injurious to the health.

Thirty or forty years ago, it was the fashion to atlmtni-ter powerful purgatives as “ spring medicines.” Terrific doses of salts and senna, calomel and jalap, or glauber salts were given to all the members of a family, whether sick or well, by | way of preparing them for the warm weather in prospect. This pernicious custom is nearly obsolete, bnt there are some old Bouihons of private life incapable alike of forgetting anything or learning anything, who obstinately cling to it still. Nothing could be.more pernicious, more utterly unphilosrphical, than such an onslaught on the vigor nnd elastlclty of the sys’tem In ordrr to enable the physical structures to resist the enervating effects of spring damps end summer beats, it should be toned and reins .reed, not re axed and w> aken-d.

A vigorous digestion is absolutely essential to health, and there is no danger of the stomach filtering or failing in its important office if this genial vegetable elixir is t»keu regularly as a stomachic.

CAUTION TO WATCH BUYERS. Unscrupulous parties are selling worthless Swiss Watches m arlng trademarks very nearly similar to the trad* marks of grnume Waltham Wa’ches. This is not only a traKd on the purchaser, but a great Injury to the reputation of the genuine watch. To avoid imposition, buy»rs should Insist on getting genuine Waith im Watches and take no other. This the only safe rule, since some sellers frequently en neavor to sell other watchas in preference on which larger profits are made. The trademarks of the various styles are: AMERICAN WATCH CoWaltham, Mass. A MN. WATCH CoWaltham, Mass. AMERICAN WATCH Co .Crescent-st. Wat ham, Mass. APPLET’‘N, TRACY & CoWaltham, Mass. WALTHAM WATCH CoWa tham. Mass. P. S. RTLETT..WaItham, Mass. WM. ELLERYWa tham. Mass. HOME WxaTCH Co Boston, Mass. Examine the sneiiing of these names carefully before buying.

Davtb dr Son- Gentlemen: Tne package of Allen’s Lung Balaam you sent me to use among (ne afflicted poor In my city missionary work bas proved very acceptable and useful. It has gone Into several families, and with remarkable effect in every instance. One woman has been restored irom what her physicians pronounced consnmptl< n, alter several months* sickness with cougb, great pain In the Innire. and pros tratton. so that she is able now to do housework and assist in the support of her family, and wltn care and continued use of the Balsam she expects entire restoration. Another person, a young woman to whom I gave one battle, has received great benefit, so that her cough, which was of months’standing, is getting better, and she ha« purchased the second bottle, sud has every indication of a speedy cure. A young man who was raising blood, and quite weak and sick, has. bv the use of two bottles, been much improved and is able to do a little at his work. A young man to whom I recommended a trial of It, who has nad a bad cough, and much pain in his lungs for months past, and unable to get rest or sleep, has commenced taking It. and is now using the fourth bottle with great benefit. He said to m; on a recent visit, he would not do without it. He is hoping (and reasonably it seems to me) to be able to resume his work again. Very respectfully and gratefullvyours, CHARLES A.
