Just I. let him sit down to }*ot-luck with the I rest of us, any— —” “I shall do nothing of the sort, Alexander,” said Mrs. Hopgood, severely compressing her lips. “ You know Ido i not approve of your inviting comi»any at any time, Still less at such a period as this. If yon have been fool enough to | ask him, you may get out of the scrape the beat way you can !” “ But, mother—” ’ | , “ I don't want any more discussion on the subject,” mad Mrs. Hopgood, dab- | bling away with the brush. And Alexander went out, slamming the ■ door. “By George!” quoth Alexander 1 Hopgood to himself, “if I can’t ask a I friend to my home, there's at least the alternative of inviting him to a hotel. I i never did such a thing before, but I don’t, ace how else I can fiuinage. ” So Alexander Hopgood entertained; Mr. Ryerson at the hotel, and gave an unlimited order for iced champagne and, desert. And the upshot of it was that Alexander Hopgood was brought in at eleven o’clock at night, by two of the | I waiters, hopelessly intoxidited. “Don’t be ’f-f-fraid, mother !" Stutter* d he, brandishing an empty bottle, ‘ as he came dimly conscious of her white, scared face bending over him. “Go on with your washing I Its a deal jollier at the hotel than it 7 is at home. Freedom j orever I Hoo-bo-ray!” “O, what shall! do?” sobbed Mrs. Hopgood, when the waiters were once | more out of the house, and the roll of the cab wheels had died away. “To think—only to think Unit a son of mine should ever dftgra.ee himself thus “It's yonrCewtbJuint, mother,” said Ik nuy, the second son. “ You wouldn’t kt Ally bring his friend here.” j “ Hold your tongue,” sharply retorted Mrs. Hopgood, wincing beneath the prick of this home truth. “Call Elsie.

My God ! has our homo become so distasteful to our • children that they fly from it like rats | from a falling house ?” Elsie’s note was short enough. It I read: | “ Dear Mother :I *m Urol of living in the ‘ kitchen. I have run away with John Eitan. ; aud before you see me again I shall have cn- ( ’ tered upon a new fntnrc. Elsie. ’’ Mrs. Hopgood broke out into wild, : hysterical sobbings. Mr. Hopgood read the hnrriedlyacrawkd paper with a face cold and set like steel. “ Run away with John Elton !” l>o repeated, slowly. “ Poor Elsie ! then God help her. For he is as great a villain | and scoundrel as ever lived ; and she ■ > has sealed her own doom. Mother, t mother • this comes of your housekeep-1 ing.” “It wasn’t my fault, Isaac,” sobbed Mrs. H<q»good, rocking herself Iwk- j ward and forward on a chair into which j she hail dropped. “ It was your fault,” retorted herhus-1 . Itand, almost savagely. “ Yun made the ! i very name of home a mockery to your { children ; you shut up your soul inside j of a scrubbing pail; and'now you are [ reaping the bitter harvest.” t Os course poor Alexander Hopgood : was unable to lift his throbbing head i from the pillow the next day, and his \ mother toft him until afternoon. When at last she came down stairs, the parlor blinds were thrown wide open, a flood of sunshine streaming in, the table neatly set in the pretty diningroom, with fluwi rspn the table, and new hooks, guinea and puzzles scattered around. | Mrs. Hopgood gazed around with a liewiktered air.

J-LdKAf AND HOME. farm UnkiHffS. A noo team is the best for plowing 1 up an orchard. I x less than six hours a steam tliresher iu Michigan threshed 390 bushels ! wheat, 50 of barley, and 28 of eats. ' lx some cases, poultry have proved eflieient aids iu the work of destroying i the Colorado potato beetle, but it is not safe to rely on them. G. W. Rockwood, of Owatonna, Minn., two years ago bought a single ‘ Italian bee for $5, and now, as the pro- ' duction of that single bee he has 18 . Idvcs, and will have 8lk) pounds of hobpy this season. i Fkozfs Totatoes. — Experiments in Germany on frozen potatoes prove tliat the freezing in nowise alters the chemi icxd composition of’ the tuliers. The i change is simply physical, and, even if frozen hard, they are still tit for distillai tion, or they may be pr ssed to get rid ’of the water, and then ground into a , i very good meal adapted for feeding ' i cattle. ! The farmers of Holland, as though j eager to recognize the all-important aid they derive from their cows, frequently cover them in summer wit h linen blanket * ' tied in place to guard them from the at ' tacks of insects, and to shelter them from I the raw sea winds. It is a common custom among them, too, to set up in the pasture tieldsvonvenient scratching-poles against whicli the (attic may rub their sidt s and necks with evident aeivautage. Corn Blades.-Siiiei- the partial bee, of our forage croi»e, such as oats ami hay, by the continued wet weather, we would suggest to our farmers the care ful stripping mid curing of corn blades, such as we used to see when, we wi re a boy, neatly tiedin bundle* like sheaf oata. There is not a more tin ier and nutritious dry food for winter, aud none | more grateful to the horse than uice j bright corn blades. A word tq the wise i is suilieient. — Lit e Stock, Hceord. A farmer recommends copperas and lithe as a safe, sure, aud cheap destroyer of the Colorado potato beetle. He shys: “I used five pqunds each -of copperas ; and slacked lime, dis-tolved in twenty gallons of water, and iqiplied it with a I whitewash brush, effectually destroying ; the enemy. A trial of t-hc same mixture, with twice as much water, did the work ; eq'nally as well. ” His field was alive | | with the beetles and J theft lame before the application. Tin; mixture improves, the growth of the p date vine, and it certainly cannot doany bar:; . The copperas is itself a manure, op« rating soum> what as gypsum, or land plaster. Carbolic Acid for Pei ltf.y IldrsEs. j —A writer in the London /’/< ’ .strongly recommends the use eg carbolic ae d for destroying insects in pigeon and poultry houses, asserting tliat it neither injive* the birds nor tends to drivo them from their nests. He uses it in the form of; ft solution of two ounces of common car- , liolie aeid to tiiree quarts of water, ftp- i plying this once a week with a watering \x»t, after the house has Ix en larefully | swept out. Besides the lice and near ides j that it destroys, it is also efficient in driv- , ing out fleas. For the pnrpoed of expelling lice, from the bodies of pigeons, j the proposed method is said to be to mix | one i***rt of Calvert’s liipiid carbolic acid with thirty parts of water, and shaking j j well before use. Itvaaaratir Eeonnut<f. To Pickle Beans.;—Pick them bufero I they have any strings and soak in weak I salt water for 21 hours ; prepare vinegar I with spicen as for oilier pickles, pour it | J hot on the beans, and then after three oi I four days pour it off aud reseakl it. To Wash Linens. —Put in the water ■ used for washing them a little disaolved j pipe clay; it will give the diitiest linens the appearance of having been bleached, aud cleans them more thoroughly* with : one-half the labor and <>ue-fourtl» the ; soap. To -Remove Mildkw.—Take two ounces of chloride of lime (which can be procureil at any drug store); pour on . it one quart of water;, then add three quarts of cold water ; steep the linen in it for twelve hours, when every spot will be remov» d. In buying a toothbrush,- select one consisting of only three or four rows of i bristles, with a little spate between, aud of a moderate, hanhieua. This will .tllow I the bristkss to spring in betwi*en the I teeth, and thus free them of' 1 tartar in | . plaetis where it is meet »|4 to accumulate. I Green Corn Pudding.—-Grate the corn from six ears, mix with it half a pint of sweet milk, one-third cup of | I sugar, orq; tablespoouful of flour, two eggs beaten, one tablespoonful of butter, and a little salt Bake till it rises up in | un oval in the middle. • ' j To Beal Preserves.—Beat the white of an egg, take good white paper ( tissue is the best ), cut it the size you require, and dip it in the egg, wetting both sides. Cover yonr japs or tumblers, cnrafully pressing down the edges of the paper. When dry ft will be as tight as a drum- ; head. Tomato Figs.—Take fully ripe tomatoes, cut them in slices, removing all hard parts; cook them in a rich sirup, ami then spread them on plates to dry, sprinkling them occasionally with the sirup. Thus prepared they are almost; equal to dried figs and doubtless a good deal cleaner than the. average dried flg. ToMaekGinc.erßkeb.— Takeapound ! of the best Jamaica ginger, bruise ft I well, put it in a large tub or pen, pour i upon it two gallons of boiling water and I cover the tub for tweniy-fvur hours.

Then add the whites of twelve fresh eggs and two pounds of loaf sugar. Cover again and lot fermentation ,go on . for about ten days. Then let liquor be strained and bottled.

Nothing could lx, more romantic than the story which the Troy Pit’S'' tells about a young man who arrived in Schenectady from Ireland several years ago. Two years previous'he had won at home the heart of a f iir daughter of Ireland, but cruel fate had separated them. The couple hiid arranged to get married se-1 cretly and start for America. The day i l>efore the sliip was to sail, upon which John had taken out passage for both; the father left for Glasgow, taking his daughter with him. John was too wise to submit to the loss of the pa: - age money for both. He canm to tin's country alone. A correspondence was kept up between the separated lovfetrs, with frequent interruptions by the father, for about five years, when it ceased entin ly. i Four yuus later John was astonished one | day to* see the brother of his firmer love step into his place of business Jn Schenectady; mid what surprised him more was, the brother iijornvd him that he had brought Nora with him at her own request, ex)»ecti 1 g that he would now marry h r r. Unhappy John had married i another a few moutlis liefore. H 1 ’ went I to the de|H»t to sec her, and the meeting i was sqch a» only lovers can imagine. | The brother was on his way to Michigan, and so Nora bad to follow him, but John would not-' be separated from his • old love, so he staifed off with her. The ' news, however, was soon carried to ‘ : John’s wife, who set out in pursuit en j the next boat, and succeeded ii. captor ' ing her fugitive husband at Rochester j and brought him tmek in triumph to I Sehcneitady. In the course of years' John became a widower, and Nora, liav ; ing m.uTied a farmer in Michigan, was ! j left a widow with two children, and a i large farm well stocked; Her whereabouts; and circumstances were iliscov cred by John, and a year ago they were j married.

Tlvir j suspicions soon grew into beliefs, and 'in two days they agreed to separate. John came straight back to Schenectady. i 4 DANFII K.irK .Vi rr iTIQ.V. A recent occurrence in Birmingham, England, was of a character calling to ' mind the famous atl'air in Cincinnati last ! spring, where a donkey defended itself so bravely; against a lioness. In Birm- ! iugbam a lioness had an cneoimtcr, not with a donkey, but with a dog. A keeper in the zoological gardens had occasion to enter the den of the lioness, as he luui oft done iu safety, and before he had I closed the door a mastiff dog, which had I broken away from its cliain, rushed in ' after him. The lioness immediately attacked the dog. springing upon its back aud pinning it by the neck. The mastifl : , almost as large as the resisted this attack, and, having freed itself from its more powerful opj>onenf, sprang her and bit her i>’« the throat, folding on by its teeth until the lioness gave it a tremendous blow with its paw, hurling it to the otlier side of the den with such force against the keeper that he was knocked staggering against the wall. The contest between the two animate continued over the 'prostrate man, and, for a particularly emlxirrassiug <N»ndition, the one he occupied was undeniably something fine. Foitumitely the roaring 'of tlie lioness anil the barking of the dog were so great tliat attention was attracted aud assistance summoned to keeper. A terrific blow on the head With a tear of iron was given the lioness just as that ftninud had about finished the flog, the creature stunned for ft few siromte and the keeper rescued from his perilous position, though not a moment too soon, as the brute made a dt spefate rush at him as he passed through the door. It is unlikely that the keeper wdl want to umpire a game of tliat kind again at such quarters. Ft»j» BI K.VN. A useful remedy for scalds and burns is.>n embrocation of lime-water and linseed oil. These simple agents combined form a thick,cream-like substance, which effectually excludes the air from the injured parts, and allays the inflammation almost instantly. A case is recorded wnerc a child fell backward into a bath i tub of boiling water, and was nearly flayed from her neck to her hips. Her ’ agonies were indescribable; but her clothing being gently temim d, and the lime and oil preparation thickly spread over the injured surface, she was sound asleep in five minutes. Subsequently, the parte were carefully washed with warm milk ami water three times a day, the oil dressing renewed, and the little patient rapidly recovered. Though all the skin came off she did not This remedy teaves no hard coat to dry ' oa the sores, but softens -the parts and I aids nature to repair the injury in the I fKadicst and most expeditious manner. This mixture may be procured in the drug stores, but if not thus accessible, slake a lump of quicklime in water, and as soon as the water is clear, mix it with the od and shake ft well. If the case is I urgent, pour boiling water over the lime, | and ft will become dew in five minutes, i The preparation may be kept bottled in the house, and it will be as good six ; months old as when first made.

SHOOTING NIAGARA. In September, 1829, the owner of the schooner Michigan, the largest and rottenest craft On Lake Erie, hit upon a plan to get it off his handa, and at the ■ same time not lose a cent. He induced | the proprietors of hotels on both sides ■ of Niagara Falls to buy the schooner and !send it over the falls, counting on the i i crowds ' that would be drawn there to j witness the novel sight for their pay. j For several days previous to the great event, the stages and the canal twats, and wagons from the country were . crowded. Farmers left their fields and business men their counters. On the appointed day half a dozen excursion I steamers were called into service. Each had its throng of expectant people and a l>and <>f music. The task of towing the Michigan to the rapids was intrusted to a Capt. Rough and five stout-hearted i They let loose on board a buffalo from the Rocky Mountains, three bears from Green Bay and Grand river, I two foxes, a raccoon, a dog, a cat, four j geese, aud put up some effigies. When they cut the tow line tins extraordinory 1 i crew did what many other'erews have ; done, run from one end of the deck to'; the other in despair. The ship started i off majestically amt seemed to greet with a smile the high shores on cither side crowned with eager spectators. She darted through the first rapids as true as any pilot could have led her. Two of the bears here plunged into the yeasty I rapids, and actually swam to laud and i wen- caught. The other set to work , ' climbing the mast. Ou she went, mak- j ; ing a plunge, shipping a sea, and rising ; from it in beautiful style. At her bowsprit was the American ensign and at her stern the English jack. In her descent over the second rapid her mast “ went iby the board.” She swung round and 'presented h -r broadside to the dashing I and foaming waters, and after remaining stationary for a moment or two was, by its force, swung roung, stern foremost, and having passed to the third rapid she bilged but carried her hull, apparently j whole, between Grdfc Island and the ■ British shore to the Horseshoe, over which she was carried, stern foremost, and launched into the abyss below, and • dashed into a thousand pieces. The eat and dog and the foxes were never heard j of more ; but the geese, bless their little . hearts, were found below on the bank • quietly oiling their feathers. The effigy * of Andrew Jackson was also found uninjured—like the. geese—throwing his arms about and knocking his knees together in the eddies. I ■ . ■ —— ' THE 11.11 EETBR. Hay fever, if not a malady of the most ■ serious character, is nevertheless an un- | pleasant one; and in the interest of 1 those who are liable to it, a discovery which two Continental professors appei r ,| to have made between them cannot be i too generally known. The victims of j this curious epidemic can never venture j into the sunshine or get heated by oxer I eise between about the middle of May i and the end of June without an attack of violent sneezing, inilamqiatiou of the i nose, severe headache, aud general de- i pression—in short, all the symptoms of . a most distressing cold. Prof. Helmholtz observed that the malady was invariably characterized by the presence of j very minute infusoria, not unlike the queer little creatures that we sometimes see in rain-water butts, only mni-h smaller. These he found sticking most tenaciously in the lower cavities aud re- ’ cesses of. the nose, and he noticed that at I low temperatures they were very sluggish aud inactive, but woke up, as-, it w< re, wht n warmed. Here, then, was ■ the secret of the disease; but it was Prof. Bins whose investigation suggi sled the remedy. He found that infusoria might be poisoned by quinine, and of ■ this fact ‘ Helmholtz availed himself in his treatment of hay fever, from which he had been a sufferer in the early summer for twenty years. The learner! professor ma lea very weak solution of sulphate of quinine, and, lying flat on his Iwck with Ids head down, be poured a little of it into each nostril, and found instant relief. The remedy is a cheap and simple one, and ought to be very valuable to those whom this queer affection deprives of half the pleasure they find in a country walk at this delightful season of the year. Il ESTRQYING COCKROACH EB. For the destruction of the cockroach Mr. Harris, the late eminent entomologist, recommends a mixture containing a tablespoonful of nil had, the same amount of Indian meal, with molasses | enough to make a thick batter. Set { tliis on a plate at night in places frequented by the insects and all that cat of it will be poisoned. Another prejr.ua tion is composed of one tablespoonful of }H>wdered arsenic, with a tablespoonful of mashed potato. Crumble this every night at bed-time where the insects will find it, and it is said to be an effectual jxiison. Great care should be exercised, in the use of such dangerous agents. An innocent method of destroying cockroaches is to place a bowl or basin containing a little molasses on the floor at night A bit of wood, resting one end on the floor and the other on the end of the vessel, serves as a bridge to conduct j the insects to the sweet deposit. Once in the trap its slippery sides prevent retreat, Mid thus cockroaches may be caught by the thousands. Various in- ■ sect powders sold at the druggists may be used for their eatermination also. The “ wheat belt ”is enlarging its area. . Arkansas, for instance, win export small j grains this year far the first time in its ’ history. The same general tendency toraise more and buy less is observable throughout the South.
