RUTH’S COMPOSITION.

In a shabby little house, in a shabby little street—l call it a street simply out of compliment, it being in reality only an alley that had started out to be a street and finding itself too narrow by half hud stopped at the end of two blocks and never gone any further—lived a shabby old man, called by his neighbors “Mr. Waste Paper,” and by the rude boys and girls of the neighbor'hood “Old Miser” and “Queer Ejfcs.” He bought and sold waste paper, and all the four roomsjn his house —he was. tho only one in the street that occupied a whole house and was looked upon with great respect on that account; in fact, I think if he had only rented a room or two like the rest of the inhabitants he would have been “Waste Paper John,” instead of “ Mr. Waste Paper”—were almost idled with it. One, indeed, the largest, was tilled to the very ceiling, only a narrow pathway being left In the center like a small valley between two steep mountains. A deep drift like snow lay upon the floors of two of the other rooms, and hundreds of books from which the covers had departed forever, old magazines, used up ledgers, torn handbills and circulars, were stacked along the walls, and in tho fourth room, where tiie old man ate and slept, all the furniture, with the exception of a tiny stove, a gridiron, a saucepan and a tea-kettle, was made of paper. Ottomans formed out of newspapers laid neatly one upon tho other, a bed built of some twenty large bundles of coarse brown paper, with an old Webster’s Unabridged” for a pillow; a table made by placing six big account books on tho floor, six more on the top of them, and so on until enough had been used. All legless, of course, but serving Mr. Waste Paper as well as though they had any number of legs. You never saw such a queer place in your life, and never heard such a continual rustling and crackling as the furniture kept up, and very likely you never met such a very odd old man. One shoulder was a little higher and one leg a little shorter than tho other, and he had one black eye and one bluo one. And when he was good-natured he looked at you with the blue one, and when he was cross ho looked at you with the black -one, and I don’t think there could ever have been two more expressive eyes in the whole worldone could look so cross and the other so kind. Well, nobody in Sam street—that is what they called the ambitious alley, after old Sam Junkman, who built the first house there fifty years ago—knew anything about Mr. Waste Paper, ex ceptthat he had lived in that fourroomed house for the last ten yoars and that the only person he was at all friendly with was Mrs. Dolf, tho kidglove cleaner, who lived next door, and who boiled the water for his tea on summer evenings, when ho had no fire at home. Mrs. Dolf s children, Amos' and Cherry, liked tho old man very, well, for lib used often to give them pretty pictures which he cut from thS picture-pa-pers which fell into his possession, and more rarely a penny or two; but the other Sam-street children called him “ old miser,” because he gave them nothing and because they heard their fathers and mothers say, “ Waste Paper has' a good sum of money in some bank or other you may bet, for he’s been buying and selling for ten years and never had a day’s sickness, and wearing the same old clothes, summer and winter, and not a chick or a child, or a dog or a cat to look after, and never asking anybody to have a drop of beer or a pipe of ’baccy. He’s a reg'lar old miser, that’s what he is.” But the old man paid no attention to the rude bews tyid girls, exceptto turn his black eye on them once in a while when they became too annoying, but passed his time when at home reading something from his Btock in trade, or, with eyes half-closed, in deep thought about what no one but himself ever knew, when one bright, warm May day, he came slowly into his living-room from the street, carrying a heavy bag on his shoulder. He placed the bag upon a paper ottoman, sat down on the paper bed beside the paper table, wiped his- face with a paper handkerchief, and then opened the bag and tumbled the contents out upon the paper carpet He had bought them that morning of a school teacher who lived at the other end of the town, four miles away, and they consisted of soiled copy-books, old frammars, geographies, arithmetics, istories, readers, with as many dog’sears as would * have supplied several large dog families, old reports and old compositions, each of the latter rolled up neatly by itself and tied with a bit .. of pink ribbon. As the old man 1 took two or three of

these compositions from the pile before him, he began to talk to himself, as people who live a lonely life are sometimes in the habit of doing. “ AlLthese long years,” he said, “and I have never found anything oi value. No wills, no bank mftes, no trace of rqy lost family—nothing that people in my business aro always finding in stories,” sod as he said this his black eye IVII upon a namp written in a child’s straggling hand on the back of one of Ihu papers he held—“ Ruth Sands Morris," 'and underneath, in the teacher’s writing, “ Very good, indeed, for a little girl of ten.” Thp old man hastily untied the ribbon with trembling hands, find with astrange light breaking over his wrinkled face, unrolled the paper and, turning his blue eye upon it, began to read. And this is what he read:

“ A BTOKY. “Some girls— most girls—well anyhow a good many girls—do not like to write compositions. I do. “When I grow up I hope to be an arthur and writes stories and perhaps pomes for all the great maggiezines and papers and some day may bo a whole book. “ My mama says my grandfather the one I nave never'seen, was very fond cf literaychure. “ Literaychure means things that are made up out of peoples’ head and then printed. Ido not mean all peoples heads for hundreds and hundreds have not that kind of head, but smart peoples’ heads. “ He used to oe always talking rimes and it is about him my story is to be. He was a very good man, but very funny. Not the funny to make folks laugh, but the other funny. lie had ono black eye and one blue one, and he was always falling into a referee. Referees are when yon think so hard you do not know anything at all. Well, when my mamma was a little girl, littler than me, her father—that is my grandfather, of course—went ono day to sec a old friend of his off to a foren country, and after he said good-bye to hia friend in the cabin ho went up on deck and fell into a awful referee and the ship carried him off, too.

“There was a dreadful time when he did not come home, and grandma shut up the bookstore —he kept a secondhand bookstore—for three whole days and nights, and then she could not get along that way, so she opened it again. In a long time they got a letter from Grandfather Sands, and it begun: ‘Oh! do not be distressed for me, against my will born off to sea, for I think good luck will come of it,’ and the rest was that he was in Ostrayler and was going to stay there a year or so, until he made a lot of money, ’cause there was lots of money there and monkeys and parrots, I wish I had one, and savages. “ Grandma sent a answer, but she never got a letter from him again. And then after live years some one came back from there and said the savages had killed liim. Savages do not care for rimes and literaychure. And grandmother sold all her books and furniture cept some feather-beds and went to America —we lived in England first —no I did not for I was not on earth yet not till a good while after but the other remembers of the family did. And my mamma grew up here to be a lovely maiden and gpt married, but she was not very happy for somebody drank. It is a awful thing to drink. 1 do not mean tea, or coffee, or lemonade, or milk, or likeris water, or plain water but other things and 1 often wish the savages had let grandfather alone and then he would have come home and mama would have married some other person and would not have been a desolate widow with two girls and one boy “[The end or finis.]” The moment the old man had finished reading this s.tory ho seized his hat, Hung it upon his head and rushed into Mrs. Dolfs—tho kid glove cleaner—without even stopping to knock at the door, which was suclTan unusual thing for him to do that Mrs. Dolf started up from her work in the greatest astonishment, dropping the bottle she was holding in one hand on the iloor, where it broke.arid made the room smell likewell, two hundred pairs of cleaned kid gloves. “Where does—if you please, ma’am —Mr. Dolf buy his clothes?” asked he. “Great grief! what has happened? Can it be possible that tho old fellow is going to buy some new clothes for himself?” said Mrs. Dolf to herself, and

then she answered outloud, ‘ ■ Helrasift bought any for a year or so, Mr. Waste Paper, but when he does buy ’em he goes to Mr. Lucky’s, right around the next corner, two blocks down. Lucky’s dead now, and ‘ Cutter & Son’ bavo the place.” - “Thank you, ma’am,” said Mr. Waste Paper, throwing two bright silver quarters into the lap of little Cherry, who was sitting on the door-sill, with her kitten in ner arms, and hurrying away. And the old man, dressed in a now gray suit and a nice straw hat, who called that afternoon, first on Mrs. Abeooy, the schoolmistress, where lie obtained the address of Ruth Sands Morris, who had left school a year before to live in the Village of Wildrose, not very far away, at the “Safeandsure Savings Bank,” where he drew out a thousand ’dollars in brand-new bank notes didn’t look much like Mr. Waste Paper, bnt it was he all the same.

The next morning Mrs. Morris, the pretty widow who lived in the one-and-a-half-story cottage by the woods, in the Village of Wudrosc. was hanging up the clothes she had just finished washing, in the back garden, when the train from the big city over the river came dashing along, stopped at Wildrose Station, and left one passenger, an odd-looking, but nice-looking old man behind it, when it daahcjl away again. Grandmother Sands stood behind her young girl, as pretty as her mother, was scattering some corn among the chickens and singing “ Up in the Morning Early.” “ Dear me,” said the widow, taking a clothes-pin from her mouth to say it, “it almost breaks my heart to leave this place. We’ve been so happy here for the last year.” “ They may not find a purchaser for the house,” said grandmother. “ Oh! yes they will. They are sure to find. one. I Wish I had eight hundred dollars, i’d bought it in a moment, then we could have a hqmefforever; but there’s no use wishing. T never have more than eight hundred cents at a time jiowadays, and she stopped her mouth again with another clothes pin. “My dear,” said a voice directly behind them and they all turned to see an old man, who had come out of the woods so silently they had never heard his footsteps, leaning over the fence, and gazing upon them with a mild, blue eye, “ wouldn’t it be funny If I gave you the raoneyP” Grandmother Sands dropped the

clothes-pin bag—tho pretty widow nearly choked herself with the olothos-pin she had between her teeth, and her pretty daughter, her song suddenly ended, stood with one hand held out toward the ohiokens and her mouth wide open. “Don’t you know mo, SallieP” said the old man, “I should have known you anywhere though I haven’t seen you for many long, long years,” and ho slowly turned his black eye and tbflii both eyes upon her, and opened tho gate and came in. "Husband!” shrieked the grandmother. ' ‘‘“Father!” cried the daughter. “Grandfather! Hurrah!” shouted Ruth. —Margaret Eytinge, in Detroit Free Press.

INCIDENTS ANS ACCIDENTS.

—A train on the Georgia Northwestern Railroad was checked just in time, lately, for a colored man to snatch frorii beneath the pilot a little child on tho track. —Tho life of a valuable dog, owned by a Boston gentleman, was recently saved by making an incision in its stomach and removing a rubbor-ball it had swallowod. —A little son of Mr. llaus, living in Lexington, Minn., while playing with his sister, became enraged at her, and, seizing an ax, cut off both her feet, from tho effects of which she died. —A colored man, named Anderson, has been arrested, at London, Ont., charged with having placed a mixture of s;Ut and ,paris» green in a pasturefield, whereby severed oows were poisoned.

—A woman-tramp and her daughter celled at a house in Pittsburgh, recent-, ly, and demanded dinner. After deliberately partaking of the repast the woman coolly asked for a set of earrings or other jewelry that the family might have to spare. —ln Merrimac, N. U., “two female tramps entered a house while tho family were out, and, without’ ceremony, went rnto the bestr-room and went to bed. The first that the family knew of this was in the morning, when the twO women got up, dressed, entered the dining-room and demanded breakfast.”

—Waterford, N. Y., has the champion absent-minded young woman. She was recently married, and a few days after had her furniture insured, but. the next day appeared before the agent and wanted the policy changed, explaining that she had'forgotten that she was married, and had had her maiden name inserted in the policy. —The barn of Van Meter, of Kentucky, was recently burned by spontaneous combustion. A pile of horse manure had been heavily covered with straw, and an explosion occnrrsd under the straw pile, the result of spontaneous combustion, which was instantly followed by a blaze in the straw. The stables wore rapidly consumed, together with two young bulls and two horses. —Somebody down in Biddeford, Me., vouches for the following story: “A lady was descending a flight of stairs, when she fell, dislocating her shoulder. She lauded on a large dog at the foot of the stairs, which rose in a fright and threw her into an adjoining room, where she fell upon a hot stove, and would doubtless have been seriously burned had not a man who happened to be in the'room suddenly pulled her away, in doing which he brought her arm back into place again.”

Hilling Potatoes.

Much lies been published within a few years on the subject of hilling potatoes, and by some the fiat-culture system has been highly recommended. At one time the arguments brought out in its favor were so clear that I experimented on the system, and the result was a very lean harvest of small potatoes. I have no doubt, however, of the sincerity of those who recommend that mode of culture, which probably has been successful under the circumstances by which they were favored. But in farming, as in medicine, there are no fixed and positive rules of practice. In medicine, the constitution, habits and all other peculiarities are to be understood in order to apply safe and efficient remedies. So in farming, the nature and quality of soil, and other conditions, mustbe understood in order to insure successful practice. When the potato rot first appeared hi this country, thirty-five years ago, it was soon discovered that the vines hmre first attacked on low grounds, subject to fogs, and that the disease was on stiff, clammy soils, enriched bv "fermenting manures. This induced farmers to plant on lands high and dry sis the soil was very sandy, so much the better), and to use manures cooling in their nature. The result was a saving of the wop under such management; while where the older system of planting lower fields of more Compact soil, and feeding with heating manures was continued, a failure from rot was the general consequence. - Here was a happy variation of results brought about by & variation $f culture, and wp have no reason to suppose but that a flat culture ot potatoes, under some circumstances, may be successful. Admitting this to b» so, Wje should select sandy or very porou? lam! as the field on which to try this mode of culture; while on a tenacious, clayey soil, or a stiff, loamy one, that requires much working to keep it inga friable condition, I should continue the old system of plowing out, pu’verizirig the soil, and hilling up, for tho following reason: Where such soils aim fiakculturod, they will become compact By the rains and by the atmosphere, io that they become impermeable to the influence of rain and air—two valuable elements of growth— consequently the size of the potato is diminished, and Its quality impaired, by its being deprived of two essentials of "healthy grovjthr^—Ireland, with soil moistened by tho saline breezes of the sea, is famous for potato-growing; and her stalwart sons who come to America are uniformly successful in its culture here, am ofteii raise fine crops of potatoes unden most unfavorable circumstances. Wh« t tbedr practice may be in other local ties, I am not informed; but here, wherfe they form a numerous class, their uniform practice is to hill largely, or if they plant in drills, to bring the eart| into ridges along tho growing crbjt and their crops are large, ' [• ■ - Just when to form the hill is at important consideration in 1 Securing ft' crop, and is better dono after 4 rain than when the ground is very dry; for by hoeing in moisture, a supply Is secured to counteract tho effect of dry weather.— Cor.

Thoy cost only care.. They often make very profitable returns. More attention Should, be given to the production of honey. —A good start is the main thing on the farm in the spring.

—Some varieties of llowers, the fuchsia for instance, thrive best if the roots draw what water they need from the saucer, instead of being forced to •take what is poured on from above, and to be sprinkled should bo laid down on the side. —Detroit Free Press. —Horse Radish.—A little horse-rad-ish taken with meat is a stimulant to digestion and by no means unwholesome. It is also excellent in small quantities for cattle, cut up fine and mixed with potatoes or a little Indian willlceep off disease in animals." —Fine Egg .Pudding.—One quart sweetmilk, five eggs, five tablespoonfuls flour (slightly rounded), butter size of a small walnut; bake a few moments in a moderate oVen, stirring a little at first to prevent tho flour settling to tho bottom; should be very light and delicate when done; to be eaten with sugar and cream; flavored as you like.

—Very good cheese Is made of potatoes in Saxony. The potatoes aro boiled, reduced to pulp, salted and mixed with sour milk, when all is kneaded together and left for a few days. After this the substance is again kneaded and placed in little baskets to dry. This cheese will keep and is not likely to become inhabited.— Prairie Farmer. —Milwaukee cup molasses, three-fourths cup suet, or butter size of an egg, one cup sweet milk, three cups flour, one even teaspoon soda, one cup raisins, ono heaping teaspoon cinnamon, two eggs, one heaping teaspoon cloves; steam two hours;, can be made some time before needed, and then put into a steamer ami steamed when required for use. —Fried Potatoes with Eggs.—Slice cold boiled potatoes and fry in good buttdr until brown; beat up one or two eggs and stir into them just as you dish them for table. Do not leave them a moment on the fire after the eggs are In, as if they harden they are. not half so nice. One egg is enough for three or four persons, unless they are very Xond of potatoes; if they are, have plenty and put in two. —Rural Home. —Too little attention is paid to the egg plant. When once a taste for it is acquired, it has a delicate flavor, and soon becomes a favorite dish. It should be cultivated in every man’s garden. So soon as the fruit is as large as a man’s fist, it is ready for use. Slice it ■half an inch thick, parboil, and then fry in butter. To grow the egg plant the soil cannot be too rich nor too warm. The plants should be raised in hot beds, and carefully taken up so they can be transplanted without disturbing the roots too much, as they are difficult to transplant successfully. They are easier killed by the frost or cold than the bean or tomato. Water them when the weather is dry, and after the water has settled cover with dry dirt, so the surface will not bake. They should not be transplanted until there is a certainty of continuous warm weather. The fruit is healthy and delicious when served up right.— lowa Slate Register. .

Why Cows Hold Up Their Milk.

The bag or udder is divided into four parts, entirely distinct from each other, except as they are held together by membraneous ligaments. The milk in each is held in confluent tubes, which, like the roots of a tree, are all concen. trated into one just above the teat, the milk entering that funnel-shaped organ by a single channel. Just at the upper end of tne teat the; walls of this channel are contracted and the contraction is surrounded by a band of muscular fibers. The will of the cow can operate on this band, contracting or expanding it at pleasure, making it operate like a valve. At the junction of each smaller tube with a larger one is A similar contraction and band, also under the control of the will. Ordinarily these bands are contracted (as in the neck of the bladder) so that the milk has to crowd its way through them to get from the smaller into the larger tubes. This is an admirable arrangement for sustaining the weight of tne milk equally in ell parts of the udder and preventing it from pressing heavily upon the teats. When the udder is full, if the milk is drawn out of the teats, relieving the pressure in them it requires a vigorous effort of the will of the cow to prevent the pressure above from crowding the milk down to fill the vacancy, u the udder is only partly filled she can hold the milk back more easily, and the less t here is in it the more easily can she maintain the tension of the” muscular bands necessary to prevent entirely the milk from flowing through them. Wlrmthe milker first takes hold of the teats anil begins to milk the excitement causes the cow to contract the bands so firmly asto hold back the milk perfectly for a time. But presently this vigorous contraction will begin to slacken and the milk will pour through, and if all is quiet sho will relax the bands fully, when the milk settles down upon the teats, and if quickly drawn it can all be milked out to the very last drop, But this perfect relaxation will only last for a short time. If the milk is not soon extfaoted she will begin to tighten up the muscular bands again, mid the last part will be held back and permanently retained when the milker probably thinks he has got it all, bCChuse it stops coming. A cow should, therefore, be milked quickly ns well as quietly. A ealf .will draw- milk in three minutes, and a milker should come as near that time ns possible. If the time of milking is tnuen prolonged she will become Impatient,, and be Sure not toj "glVedown” perfectly. The quietest find quickest milker gets the most and best milk, Because die gets (all the “ strippings,which are the richest 'part.— N i. Herald.

Attacked by Wolves.

About ten o’clock last Satuoflty night, as Mr. Miner, of the Town of Langolns Benton County, was driving from his own house to Mr. Morrill’s, having with him hie wife and throe children, he was attacked by five large timber wolves The fierce beasts sprang at his horses, and when Mr. Miner struck at the nearest one with

hia whip It made a leap to get to him, | bull struck against, the wagon-box. At this moment Mr. Miner’s dog bravely attacked the wolf, and was set upon by the whole pack and killed, and almost devoured. This gave Mr. Miner an opportunity to whip up his horse, and make off, which ho did at a full gallop, calling out loudly for help. His cries attracted the attention of Mr. Jocelyn and family, who came to the rescue, and tiie wolves were driven off. But for the fortunate interference of the do£ the result might have been much more serious. An attack of this kind, I by Wolves, is almost without precedent; in this part of the State, and it must be that the animals wero driven to it by ravenous hunger.— St. Clowl (Minn.) Journal.

A Pen Picture.

A few months, or even weeks, since, her palld countenance was the very type of ruddy health—the delight of the school and the pride of the household. She was always welcome wherever duty or pleasure, led her. Diligent, punctual and exemplary, In the class-room, obedient and loving at twine, she won the hearts of all. But alas I those flowing cheeks and lips are now blanched by consumption. The voice once so enchanting in laugh and song Is feeble, husky and broken by a hollow cough. Let us approach her couch and gently tuko her bloodless hand In our own. Do not shudder because of Its feeble passionless grasp. Tlie hand once so warm and plump shows Its bony outlines, while the cords and tortuous velus arc plainly mapped upon its surface. The pulse that bounded with repletion, Imparting beauty, vivacity, health and strength, to the system, is delicate to the touch. Tlio enervated heart feebly propels the thin, scanty blood. Must we lose her while yet so young and so fair! No. There Is relief. But something more is required than the observance of hygienic rules, for enfeebled nature calls for aid and she must have It. Administer this pleasant medicine. It is Invigorating, it allays the irritable cough, Improves the appetite and digestion, and sends a healthy tingle through her whole being. The blood Is enriched, nervous power increased, and the heart bounds with a new impulse. Her face brightens—the blood is returning, her voice is clearer, and her requests are no longer delivered in that peevish, fretful tone so deadening to sympathy. Iler step is still faltering, but strength is rapidly returning. Let us take her out in the warin', life-giving sunshine. In a few weeks she will go without our aid and be able to join her companions In their pleasant pastimes and feci her whole being ‘‘warmed and expanded into per? feet life.” The change is so great that we think sheds sweeter and nobler than ever before. And the medicine which has. wrought this transformation, we look upon ffs a blessing to humanity, for there are other loved ones to be. rescued from the grasp of the insidious destroyer.
