THE FARMER'S DECISION.

BY C. C. JONES.

"Well, wife, I've studied it over, I've give it a good deal of thought, I've reckoned the cost and requirements,

The trials which at ease will be fought. I've looked over the pases of trouble, And carefully jotted them down, And at last I have decided, we'd better

Be tninkln' of raovin' to town.

*'I know the old p!ace is a relic That we always expected to keep, And we shall, far we'll rent it to Home one

Who'll know how to plow and to reap. Yes. we'll rent the old homestead, not sell it, So you needn't look 'round with a frown Then after tbe thing Is all settled.

We will take our departure for town.

"This matter I long have considered And now then I think it it beet That we rent out the lands and the houses,

And seek that new Eden of rest. We must try to be up with the fashions— O, pshaw we're not any to old I'm sixty, and you're about fifty,

Not a very large figure all told.

"I have purchased a house of a townsman, It's fully two good stories high I got it at pretty low figures,

So I thought It would be best to buy. There is every convenience we're wanting, Both inside the mansion and out. The whole thing was bought at a bargain

For I think I know what I'm about.

"You see we can take up our quarters, And you if good fortune attends, Can put on your best new appeal,

And call on your fashionable friends While I, with my latest cut trowsere, And you with our new pin-backgown— Why, the papers are bound to take notice

And say we are living in town.

Why, of course, we'll be ever so tony— I guess that's the word that they use— They'll invite us to dinners and suppers,

And be mad if we deign to refuse. We will rent a new church pew and hymn book

And, should the good people desire, Our assistance will lend to the calling* And breath forth our notes lu the choir."

Ho the farmer, good soul, found a tenant— "A mnn that could see to affairs"— And he let out the premises safely.

And dropped agricultural cares. He drew up the rentable papers, And copied them off in«his book And now that the business is settled,

We'll go into town for a look.

"Well! Reuben, man, what is the matter? Is there anything out of the way I've been thlnkiu' I'd tell you of something,

And I guess I will do it to-day You know I attended the social, They didn't give men an invite— And my feelings were never so shattered

As they were on that very same night.

"1 heard one proud feminine critter Make different remarks 'bout my face Aud one of 'em said that my parts of speach

Didn't lit in there nat'ral place. I never did swallow a grnmmer, 8o I tried to be perfectly cool, But I guess that if I'd dare say it,

I could tell which of us was a fool."

And the farmer agreed with his Helpmate— He'd a trial of a similar kindHe said it had hurt him sorely,

And was "preyin' just then on his mind Aud taking the thing altogether, Combining the grammer knd face, Why, he thought th-it "If Betsey was willin',

They'd Just move back on the place." —Chicago Eye.

A Romance of House Cleaning.

"Is she coming to visit you?" said Eric Hale with a slight grimace. "That simpering Hue lady, with the useless white hands and the shallow little society laugh? Oh, Aunt Delia, pack my portmanteau and let me be off on a lecturing tour, until Flora Lee's visit comes to an end 3"

Mrs. Dove looked a little disappointed. To confess the truth, she had especially arranged this visit with reference to her nephew Eric. ''He's a fine young fellow," she had Haid to herself, with true deplomacy, "with an excellent parish,and tine prospects—and it's high time he was settled in life with a wife. And I think Flora Lee would suit him exactly."

And here was the young man himself upsetting this charming little castle-in-the-air without th« least scruple of confidence, like the modern irouclast that he was. "Well, Eric," said Mrs. Dove, despairingly, "I'll write to her not to come. Of course I don't want to put you out, just when you're so busy, too, with that course of lectures on the Book of Revelation—but I really thought Flora would make the house lively.'' "She's a ileal too artificial to suit me," said Eric Hale. "Ask her to come in Juue, when I shall be off to Omaha and Nevada on that eonferenos business. Bui as for a visitor, I should prefer little Polly Peppercorn's big wax doll with the silky clack hair and staring eyes, that onen and shut by machinery."

So Mrs. Dove choked back h#r disappoint men for she had been nursing this mg tnu pet scheme in secret for along while), sat down and wrote a letter to her friena Miss Lee, postponing the proposed visit to Cedarbough frarm until roses should be in bloom, and strawberries beginning to ripen. "Adonijah,"said she to the hired man, "take this letter to the postotffice." "Yes, Him," said Adonijah, and he put It in his pocket aad straightway forgot all about it.

It was a dismal, rainy morning in April, the yellow jonquil* beaten to the ground, the very wild violets shutting up their eyes as if in unmitigated disgust at the unpromising state of the weather. Overhead, racks of gray cloud scudded across the heavens, and the little sheet of silver lakelet unaer the hill was dotted and dimple all over with the fallingrain.as if pierced with a thousand tiny iavelins. "Its no use trying," said Mrs. Dove plaintively, "the fates have conspired against me!"

The carpets were up,the pails of whitewash stood steaming in the middle of the

Eer

arlor floor, and Mrs. Dove herself, with gray curls tied up in a yellow damask pdekfet handkerchief, which her great uncle had brought from China half a century ago, sat crying on the lower edge of a step ladder, ror Betsey, the help, had fallen down the cellar stairs ana broken her leg, and Mrs. Malrony, the charwoman, had sent a message that her eldest son had broken out wid de maiiles—speckled all over like a shower of red pepper, and sorra a bit of clanin' could she undertake for until the wake's over." /•And these three days of all others," «4gbed Mm. Dove, "when Eric had exchanged pulpits with Mr. Washburue And he so dislikes house cleaning and "Dear me, Mrs. Dove, what Is the matter

Mrs. Dove started to her feet with a Utile scream—for there, exactlv as if she had been mined down out of the gray teuith, stood Flora

Lee berselfti& trim

brown travelling dress,with a neat little hand-bag, a gossamer water-proof cloak and a silk umbrella. "Why, Flora," cried she, "how came you here?" "By the train, of course," said Miss Lee, "and I walked from the station." "I wrote you not to come," said Mrs. Dove, in consternation. "But I never received any such letter," said

Miss Lee. Shall I go

Again

"No, you darling, you shall do nothing of the sort!" said Mrs. Dove, enthu siastically. "It was only because—he cause we were house-cleaning." "I'm not afraid of house-cleaning,' said Flora. "I see how it is," with a comprehensive glance around the scene of confusion, "and I'm going to help you through with it." "You ?,' said Mrs. Dove. "Yes, I!" said Flora. "Why not? Just lend me one of Betsey's old ai Where is Betsey by the way "Her father has just carried her home in the wagon," said Mrs. Dove. "She broke herleg. "And your charwoman "Oh, dear! oh, dear!" said Mrs. Dove "She has got a visitation of the measles, or small pox, or some other horrid disease in her family. And my nephew, Eric, is to be gone lor three days and 1 made sure I could llnish the house cleaning while he was absent." "And we will," said Flora, cheerily. "How can we?" "Ob, you shall see!" nodded Miss Lee.

And, depressed though she' was, Mrs. Dove began to feel the mercury rise in her mental thermometer at once.

And Flora Lee arrayed herself in one of Betsey'8 cast-off calicoes, tied her rippled brown tresses up in a cambric sweeping-cap, and went vigorously to work with a scrubbing-brush while Mrs. Dove bent her attention to the window glass, and Andonijah, with more zeal than discretion, splashed whitewash over himself and the floor with laudable impartiality. "Wall," said Andonijah, afterward,"I never did se no cricket work spryer than that city young lady. By gracious, she beats Betsey all holler at it! And she's got such an up an' down pretty way of doin' things, too. 1 declare, I couldn hardly take my eyes off her all the time I was in whitewashin'!" "Mrs. Dove, however, was unused to the severe exertions incident upon housecleaning time, and went to bed with the sick headache in the middle of the after noon. "Nevermind, Mrs. Dove,"said Flora "I'll,get tea and make some of those cream waffles and a short-cake for Mr. Dove, and you shall see how nicely I can fry oysters." "Indeed, indeed, I don't know what I should do without you Flora!" said Mrs. Dove, lervently.

But, as it happened, Mr. Daniel Dove was unexpectedly detained on business at Whiskill, a neighboring town, and instead of him, who should walk debonairly into the little sitting-room, flinging down his carpet bag, but Eric Hale himself, just as the rainy dusk closed in and the order of the delicious oyster and the Mocha coffee filled the house. "Hello!" jaid Eric. "Soyou're cleaning house—eh, Betsey "Yes, sir," a demure voice respended from the kitchen. "And where's my aunt "She has retired with a sick headache." "The natural consequences of cleaning house, I suppose," said Eric Hale with a shrug of his shoulders. "Dear old Aunt Delia! why couldn't she be contented to leave things as they were Tell her, Betsey, that Washburne has concluded not to exchange until next week, and, that, now I am in the midst of the melee,

I'll lend a hand with this business to-morrow. ".Yes. sir." "Ana Betsey—" "Sir?" "Where did you learn to make such delicious coffee Bring in a cup at once, I'm ready to drop with weariness and it is like a dream of Arabia."

And Flora Lee, with the flapping edge of her sunbonnet concealing the amused dimples around her mouth, brought in the oysters and coffee, flanked by a pile of feather-lighted waffles. "I declare, Betsey," cried the Reverend Eric, facetiously, "if you were a trifle younger and prettier, rd marry you my self to make sure of ceffee and waffles like this every night."

Would you*, sir said the

Botsoy*

soi-distant

"And we'll make a compact, Betsey," merrily went on the clergyman, as he helped himself to butter, "to finish the house-cleaning ourselves to-morrow, and save Aunt Delia the worry and work of it." "Yes, sir, said Betsey. "But, please, sir, it's all done, except the tacking down of the carpets." "Who did it?" "I, sir, please, and Mrs. Dove, and Adonijah. And please, sir, I'm going to tfnish it myself to-morrow ana please, sir," flinging back her sunbonnet and disclosing a coronal of brown braids, a pair of very rosy cheeks, and eyes full of sparkling hazel mischief—"I'm not Betsey at all, but Flora Lee, entirely at your service!"

The Reverend Eric stared with roundeyed surprise, not unmingled with dismay. "Miss Lee!" he repeated. "Exactly," nodded the young lady. "Did you make the coffee?" "I did." "And fry these brown-jacketed oysters. and stir up these waffles "No one else, Mr. Hale." "And scrub the rooms.?" glancing around. "Yes, sir and dusted the cernices, and washed the window glass and took down all the picture frames, and put the lace curtains in soak, beside others items too numerous to mention," mischievously added Flora, rather enjoying the discomfiture of the young clergyman. "Miss Lee," said Eric, "I beg your pardon." "What for, Mr. Hale?" "For always having regarded yon as the most useless of creatures. I recant I own that you are equal to any emer gency."

And when, later in the evening, Mrs. Dove crept out, with her head tied up in eau de cologne, she found her nephew and Flora Lee playing chess together by the fire in the moat amicable manner imaginable. "It's all right," said Mrs. Dove to herself.

It was all right. And Mrs. Eric Hale won her frank, unconventional husband not through the medium of dress, or jewels, or wait res, or flower-shows, but through the grim realities of cleaning home. "I wanted a genuine helmet," said the Reverend Eric, "and I got one."

HOW TO MIND A BABY. First, a'man need have one to take care of. It isn't every one that is fortunate enough to have one, and when he does, his wife is always wanting to run over to the neighbor's only for five minand he has- to attend the baby. Sometimes she caresses him, but oftener she says sternly: "John, take good care of the child till I return." You want to remonstrate, but cannot pick up courage while that awful female's eye is upon

5y

rou so you prudently refrain and mereremark: "Don't stay long,dear." Shi is scarcely out of light when the luck less babe opens its eyes, and mouth also, and emits a yell which causes the cat to bounce out of the door as if something had stung it. You timidly lift the cherub and sing an operatic air it does not appreciate it, and yells the louder. You try to bribe it with a bit of sugar not a bit of use, it spits it out. You get wrath and shake it. It stops a second and you venture another when, good heavens! it sets up such a roar that the passers-by look up in astonishment. You feel iclesperate your hair stands on end, and the perspiration oozes out of every pore as the agonizing thought comes over you, what if the luckless child should have a fit! You try baby talk but "litty, litty lamb" has no effect —for it stretches as if a red-hat poker bad been laid upon its spine, and still it yells. You are afraid the neighborhood will be alarmed, and give it your gold watch as a last resource, just in time to save your whiskers though it throws down a handful of your cherished moustache to take the watch, and you thankfully find an easy chair to rest your aching limbs, when down comes that costly watch on the floor, and the cause of all the trouble breaks into an earsplitting roar, and you set your teeth and prepare to administer personal chastisement, when in rushes the happy woman known as your wife, snatches the long-suffering child from your willing arms, and sitting down, stills it by magic, while you gaze mournfully at the remains of your watch and cherished moustache, and muttering a malediction on babykind in general, and the image of its father in particular, vow never to take care of a baoy again—until the next time.

HOW TO SLEEP. Hall's Journal of Health.

Health and comfort depend very much on attention to matters that to some seem very trival. We have sometimes heard persons complain that they did not sleep well that they were troubled with horrible dreams, and arose in the morning weary and nervous. Inquiries as to diet, exercise and other essentials of health have often failed to reveal anything that could account for these unfavorable conditions.

It is not well in these cases to limit our investigations to the routine of a day but we should inquire at what hour tne patient goes to bed, what he thinks about usually, and most particular what position he places himself in to invite sleep? If he lies on the back ^vith his hands over his bead, there will be a half conscious sense of compression of the chest, with difficult breathing, lelieve which he opens his mouth. The air coming iD direct contact with the throat, causes dryness, and then snoring will begin. In the meantime the pressure of the viscera on the large artery, whose course is along the^inner portion of the back bone, impedes the circulation of the blood, producing discomfort which manifests itself in horrid dreams. Thus the whole night is passe^ iiyt disturbed sleep, and perhaps many* Rights pass witnoutone of refreshing sleep. The most unwise course under such circumstances would be to resort to the use of opium or any other drug. The ranks of the victims of this unfortunate habit are recruited mainly from such cases as we have described. It is wonderful what control an individual can get ovei himself if he tries. There is no reason why a person cannot lie upon his side instead of the back,and keep his hands and arms down then he will not open his mouth then his throat will not become dry, neither will he snore or have bad dreams. But often he can't help thinking about bis business, and his thoughts will run on for hours. This is also a habit that may be broken up. Have the will to put «side your thoughts, and in time you will have the power to do so.

We do not say that there are not other causes that habitually interfere with sound sleep but we believe there is a remedy for each difficulty which may be found by seeking for it.

"What ladies are the easiest to wait upon "The homely ones," replied the clerk, emphatically. Seeing a look of incredulty upon the reporter's face he continued "It's so I am not bracing you a bit. The prettier they are the harder they are to please. A handsome girl has been so flattered and cajoled and petted, from infancy up, that she has lost her bead. She enters with aflutter, and roust be shown half a hundred different cosmetics. Then she settles down to a steady twenty minutes' vibrations between them all. She is changeable, fluctuation and peevish, and if you venture to sake a suggestion she skips from the store though fired from the mouth of a cannon. Now, on the other band, a homely girl has a mind of her own. She is not constantly cloyed with admiration and petting from her admirers, and has drank but precious little from the golden bowl of adulation. But she knows what she wants, asks for it decisively and leaves you with a smile that would be charming if her mouth was only a yard and a half smaller and her teeth a little less like elephant tusks. God grant us a prosperity of homely girls. Life would still be endurable without pretty faces, but Heaven help us if we lose our homely ones."

SIMPLE REMEDIES.

Half a teaspoonful of common table salt dissolved in a little cold water, and drank, will instantly relieve "heartburn" or dyspepsia. If taken every morning before breakfast, increasing the quantity gradually to a teaspoonful of salt and a tumbler of water, it will in a few days cure any ordinary case of dyspepsia, if, at the same time due attention is paid to the diet. There is ns better remedy than the above, for constipation. As a gargle for sore throat it is equal to chlorate of potash, and is entirely safe. It may be used as often as desired, and if a little is swallowed each time it will have a beneficial effect on the throat by cleansing it and allaying the irritation. In doses of one to four teaspoonsfuls in half a pint to a pint of tepid water, it acts promptly as an emetic and in cases of poisoning is always at hand. It is an excellent remedy for bites and stings of insects. It is a valuable astringent in hemorrhages, particularly for bleeding after the extraction of teeth. It has both cleansing and healing properties, and is therefore a most excellent application for superficial ulcerations.

Mustard is another valuable remedy. No family should be without it. Two or three teaspoonfuls of ground mustard stirred into naif pint of water acts as an emetic very promptly, and is milder and easier to take than salt and water. Equal parts of ground mustard and flour or meal, made into a paste with warm water, and spread on a thin pi^ce of muslin laid over it, forms the often indispensible "mustard plaster." It is almost a specific for colic, when applied for a few minutes over the "pit of the stomach." For all internal pains and congestions, there is no remedy of such general utility. It acts as a counter-irri-tant, by drawing the blood to the surface: hence in several cases of croup a small mustard plaster should be applied to the back of the child's neck. The same treatment will relieve almost any case of headache. A mustard plas ter should be moved about ovei* the spot to be acted upon, for if left too long in one place it is liable to blister. A mustard plaster acts as well when at considerable distance from the affected part. An excellent substitute for mustard lasters, is what is known as "Mustard aves." They come a dozen in a box and are about four by five inches in size they are perfectly dry and will keep for along time. For use, it is only neces sary to dip one in a dish of water for a minute and then apply it.

pis Lei

Common baking soda is the best of all remedies in cases of scalds and burns. It may be used on the surface of the burned place, either dry or wet. When applied promptly, the sense of relief is magical. It seem» to withdraw the heat and with it the pain, and the healing process soon commences. It is the best application for eruptions caused by poisonous ivy and other poisonous plants, as also for bites and stings of insects. Owing to colds, over fatigue, and various other causes, the uriue is often scanty, highly colored, and more or less loaded with phosphates, which settle to the bottom of the vessel on cooling. As much soda as can be dipped up win ta ten cent piece, dissolved in half a glass of cold water and drank every three hours, will soon remedy the trouble a«d cause rolief to the oppression thc.t always exists from interruption of the natural flow of urine. This treatment should not be continued more than twenty-four hours. We have no more space to devote to this subject now but it is one of universal interest and we shall continue it.f We shall endeavor to show that most of the diseases and accidents that are constantly occuring, could be remedied ©r avoided by resorting to such remedies appliances as are to be found in every home.

A STRANQER'S NER VE.

HOW HE CAME IT OVER A BAR TENDER.

A few evenings ago, while half-dozen gentlemen were standing at the bar of one of the saloons, a well-dressed, goodlooking stranger entered the room and walked straight to the bar and addressed the bar-keeper in language like the following: "Stranger, I am in a very, very bad condition. I want a drink I must have a drink but I an compelled to make the humiliating statement that I am unable at present to pay for it. If you will be kind enough to favor me in my extremity, you shall be paid, sir."

We don't keep whis" j," was the Dlun keeper.

'We don't keep whiskey to giveaway here," was the Dlunt reply of the bar-

stranger begged, but the bar­

keeper was inexorable and even rude. The mild-mannered stranger turned to the gentlemen who had been witnesses to the conversation, and said: "Gentlemen, you are strangers to me, but would one of you be kind enough to loan me the price of a drink? I will pay it back."

One of the persons addressed banded the stranger fifteen cents. He stepped to the bar and said: "Now can I have a drink?" "Yes," said the bar-keeper, "anybody can get a drink for the money here." "I thought so," said the stranger

The bottle of "red licker" was placed on the bar. The stranger filled his glass liberally. "A little bitters in there, if you please," said the stranger.

Then, when the bitters were furnished, be asked for a large glass of water, which was also set up. The stranger drank bis beverage ana then turned to the man who bad loaned him the money and said: "Stranger, I make it a point of honor to pay borrowed money before I pay whisky bills. Here is your fifteen cents. I ain greatly obliged for the loan," and so s:lying, he walked out.

The dazed bar-keeper, seeing that be was sold, And that the laugh was on him, ran to the door and called to the stranger to come back. The stranger promptly returned and inquired: "What do you want?"

The bar-keeper replied, "That was a cqte trick you played, and I own up that yon caught me. The drinks are on me. What will you take?" "Excuse me, air," said the stranger, "I drink only with gentlemen I cannot drink with you," and the mysterious stranger walked away, leaving the barkeeper to wonder whether it would not have been better to give a stranger one drink than to be caught by a trick and have to "set them up" to a whole crowd.

Wide Awake.

VULGAR HABITS.

Asking questions private and personal is a vulgar habit, and telling your own business, which no one wants to hear, is another. Asking the cost of a present that has been made to you, loud talking in public, hard staring at table, insolent disrespect to husband, wife, sister or brother, showing temper in trifles, and making scenes in public, showing an embarrassing amount of fondness, and making love in public, covert sneers, of whieb people can see the animwtx

if they

do not always understand the drift persistent egotism, which talks forever of itself, and cannot even feign the most passing interest in another, detraction of friends, and it may be of relatives,a husband telling of his unpleasantnesses, a wife complaining of her husband's faults, the bold assumption of superiori ty, and the servile confession of infinite unwortbiness—all these are signs and evidences of vulgarity—vulgarity of a far worse type than that which eats its fish with a steel knife, and says "you was," and Each of the men were."

PAPER.

HOW TO CLEAN WALL Home and Farm. To clean wall paper, take off the dust with a soft cl»tb. With a little flour and water make a lump of very stiff dough, and rub the wall gently downward, taking the length of the arm at each stroke, and in this way go round the room. As the dough becomes dirty, cut the soiled part off. In the second round commence the stroke a little above where the last one ended, and be very careful not to cross tho paper or to go up again. Ordinary "papers cleaned in this way will look fresh and bright, and almost as good as new. Some papers, however, and these most expensive ones, will not clean nicely and in order to ascertain whether a paper can be cleaned nicely, it is best to try it in some obscure corner, where it will not be noticed if the result is unsatisfactory. If there beany broken places in 'the wall, fill them up with a mixture of equal parts of plaster of paris and silver sand, made into a paste with a little, water then cover the place with a little piece,of paper like the rest, if it can be had.

In twentyfour hours my voice was quite clear and natural and the cold nearly cured. It Is the best remedy I ever ssw.

Respectfully,

MB. PAW LEY

has

been in the drug business

in the city of Providence twenty-five yeai* ,\s clerk and proprietor in good standing, u.-t knows whereof he affirms. El.

Mr. D. says: For many years I have suffered, intensely at times, with what is gonerally called rheumatism. When tirst attacked 1 was confined to my bed ami could not/ walk a step. 1 could not bear the weiplit the bedclothes, so excruciating was tlie agony" I endured. I always noticed that beforo these attacks came on my Kidneys were affected before there would be any puin in my limbs or any swelling of joints or limbs, the color of the secretions from the kidneys would be very dark and the oilor strong and* feverish. The last attack was very sever -, about five .years ago, and I was confined the house several weeks, and was ui.able lu attend to business lu three months. During the time I was confined at home uml tho time of my convalescence I employed four of the best doctors that 1 could obtain, but none of them gave me permanent relief, for they did not go to work at the cause of tho trouble. Having been acquainted with tho proprietor of Hunt's Remedy a longtime I was induced by him to give it a trial, honing that it might reach the seat of the disease and after taking one bottle 1 found myself very much improved, and after taking tho second I was feeliug better than 1 had after any previous attacks. During many months previous to taking the Remedy my hands and fingers would be much swollen and stitf every morning my left side, in the region of stomach and spleen, was very lame and sensitive at times 1 would be taken with severe cramps over the spleen, and be obliged to apply musstard or cayenne for temporary relief 1 wna very nervous nights and could not sleep I was obliged to be very particular in my diet, and my physical system was sadly demoralized. Since I have taken Hunt's Remedy systematieallv all these things have changed 1 have no swollen hands or limbs, no pains or cramps in tho side, can eat all kinds ot food, sleep soundly and get thoroughly rested, and my kidnevs are active and perform their functions promptly, thus taking out of tho system all the poisonous secretions wliieli contaminate the whole system where the kidnevs do not act efficiently. My friends, what Hunt's Remedy has done for me it will do for all of you. 1 believe it to be the only sure cure for all diseases of the kiducys, liver, and urinary organs.

Respectfully, E. R. DAW LEV, 464 Broad Street.".
