XO A SP RIN G IXOTHCR.BY J. I*. HERSEY.

Whence dost thou come ? It was but yesterday And the brown field was clad in cheerless gloom,

And winter lingering hushed the jocund lay Of early birds, and flowers forgot to bloom.

Sut now ’tis changed; beauty is in the vale, %And meadows smile in thin-grown drapery;

^Tho robin's note is heard; tlio balmy gala Bursts tlic; swol'n buds^ou every forest tree.

And yet. what magic touch has wrought this change 7 The frost that seared thy leaves aud dimmed thy

bloomKas melted in the sunbeams; but how strrojgo

That thou shouldst shirt to life aud burst thy tomb.Is it the breathing south wind that recalls

Thy wasted beauty, or spring's morning beam;Or song o f feathered choir* when evening falls;

Or the wild murmur o f the gusliing stream ?

It is not thus with man; the wasting form And fading blush of beauty may in vain

Court the wild breeze; the winter's chilly storm That freezes life yields not to spring again.

I saw her droop, and, like a lovely flower Nipped by untimely frost, she sunk to rest;

Aud mid December's snows, when tempest blown. They heaped the clods above her infant crest

And. spring came back, and o’er her little grave The breeze o f evening right d. and the wild bird

Did carol o'er it, and the grass did wave In rich Inxurjance—but 'twas all unheard.

5be flower I loved so true, it came no more;And years have spread oblivion wlure ’ttvas laid;

Yet shall it bloom upon a happier shore,%YUcrc an immortal soring shall fufift TrETOxnoRorGH,”N. H.

SninTierlng: tlie Englisli People.It is to be remnrked tliat in the first

census, and in that of 1S11, no account was taken of the ages of the population, and in 1S21 the statement of ages was left optional. In 1S31 the number of males of 20 years and upward was re­quired ; in 1SI1 this inquiry became closer, and then there was a revolt in the female heart, and, for aught wo know, in many a male heart also. An­other cause of anxiety was a suspicion that the ages of men were required in order that those within certain limits might be. “ drawn for the militia,” and it is probable that many omissions were made on this account by some members of the family contriving not to he at home on the night to which the census return was applicable. But, though on the last census night, that of Palm Sun­day, 1871, the 32,606 enumerators were ready to make up above 5,000,000 sched­ules from that number of families and lodgers living in 1,250,032 houses in ev­ery' shire in England and Wales, it may be concluded tliat the 22,701,108 souls included in the returns represented pret­ty well the entire population. Certainly there were people who, objecting to the personal scrutiny of the enumera­tors fa rather “ fishy” Hnd of officers, necessarily selected from a host of candidates willing to earn about 5s. a day by rather harassing work), sent their schedules privately to the Registrar General - with his permission. Theru was the wealthy spinster of advanced age, who barred up the doors and win­dows of her house in the country, defied the inquisitor, declared her determina­tion to be fined .-£20 rather than reply to his impertinent inquiries, and finally was soothed by a letter, and sent par­ticulars to the Registrar. There was the gentleman of property, who was willing to undergo any penalty “ rather than commit the crime for which David suffered,” and whose religions scruples were respected, especially as the en­umerator obtained all the information he required, probably at the nearest ale­house. There were the people whe showed fight and ejected the obnoxious inquirer and were fined. There was the gentleman who neither knew his own age nor that of his child, and declined to commit perjury by making a guess at either; and there was the humorous gentleman described as an “ author,” who quoted the “ opinion of his wife” in the last column of his schedule, and put himself down as “ both idiot and lunatic.” But, on the whole, the re­turns were, doubtless, a truthful repre­sentation .of the age, condition and num­ber of the people.—London Society.

. ---— -------The Diamond.

Although found in every quarter of the globe, the diamond is the rarest, as it is the hardest, known mineral. It occurs exclusively among gold-bearing rocks, or sands derived from gold-bear­ing rocks, and among strata which, though originally soft shnly deposits of sand or mud, have been “ metamor­phosed,” as it is called, into hard crys­talline schists. It was once supposed by geologists that the metamorphic rocks were deposited in their existing crystalline form from a boiling ocean enveloping the still-heated globe; hut it is now known that these formations were originally deposited as mud or sand, and have been transmitted into schists by the influence of subterranean heat acting under great pressure through lengthened periods of time, and aided by thermal -water or steam permeating the porous rocks and giving rise to vari­ous chemical decompositions and new combinations within them. The dia­mond probably originates, like coal or mineral oil, from the gradual decompo­sition of vegetable or animal matter; and we may, therefore, regard the brill­iants which we prize in the drawing­room as having been slowly elaborated from carbonaceous matter furnished by some dead fish or rotting plant, originally burned in the mud of an in­conceivably ancient paleozoic shore.-** Belgravia.

To Cnre Fits o f Sneezing.A correspondent of the British Medi­

cal Journal says: “ During the recent rapid changes of temperature I caught a severe cold in my head, accompanied by almost-mcessant sneezing. My unfort­unate nose gave me no rest. The slight­est impact of cold air, or passing from the outside air into a warm room, equally brought on a fit of sneezing. In vain I snuffed camphor andpulsatilla; the light catarrh still triumphed over me. At length I resolved to see what the main­tenance of a- uniform temperature would do toward diminishing the irritability of my Schneiderian membrane, and ac­cordingly I plugged my nostrils with cotton wool. The affect was instantane­ous; I sneezed no more. Again and again I tested the efficacy of this simple remedy, always with the same result. However near I was to a sneeze, the in­troduction of the pledgets stopped it at once. Sor was there any inconvenience from their presence, making them suffi­ciently firm not to tickle, and yet leaving them sufficiently loose to easily breathe through.” This is really worth know­ing, for incessant sneezing is among the greatest of smaller ills, and it seems only a rational conclusion to hope that this simple plan may furnish the most effi­cient remedy against one of the most dis­tressing symptoms of hay fever.

Riding Passion.A decided case of the ruling passion

strong in death is told in an old hook of sporting anecdotes, to the effect that once upon a time a famous huntsman, of the suggestive name of Fox, being at the point of death, addressed a letter to his master, requesting that when he was gone his silver-mounted whip, with old Merrilas and her litter of pups engraved upon its handle, should he presented “ to our sporting parson, Dr. Dasher, upon condition that he will preach a funeral snrmint over me from the text, ‘ Foxes have holes.’ ” In addition, the dying wielder of the hom-inclosed a copy of his own suggested epitaph, in the following terms: “ Here heth tim ­othy Fox, who was unkennelled at 7 o’clock a. m., upon Nov. 5, 1768, and, having availed himself of shifts through the chase of life, bnt being at last un­able to get into any hole or crevice, was ran down by Capt. Death’s bloodhounds, Gout, Rheumatism, Dropsy, Catarrh Asthma;, and Consumption.”

How Knights Are Hade.‘ In a recent volume Sir Stephen Dnke-, mau gives the following account of hisi knighting :! “ After a few words had passed, a

cushion .was brought aud laid before me, and then another, on which there w as a heavy-looking sword. Some one be­hind me whispered that I was to kneel —an operation by no means agreeable to a man before company. This I some­what awkwardly did, and,so remained, i with my face bent toward her Majes­ty’s feet, expecting every moment to feel the weight of the sword on my shoulder to ruclicate that the ceremony had begun, hut nothing came. There was a dead silence. So I looked up and saw the Queen holding up the sword and directing an inquiring glance at some one behind my back. "Who­ever that person was he was a long time in answering. It was the Earl of Aberdeen. It was evident to me that her Majesty could not hold jhe sword over my head much longer. ‘ I asked what was wanted. ‘ Your Cluistian name,’ her Majesty said. ‘ Stephen,’ I replied; and down came the sword, miss­ing the shoulder and striking the cush­ion. The ceremony, however, was com­plete without that, for her Majesty im­mediately said: ‘Arise, Sir Stephen,’ and held out her hand to kiss. I did kiss it, and felt in doing so that she had not many in her wide realm ivho would serve her more devotedly than I if necessity required it.

“ The cushions were removed, the Queen graciously smiled to all around, and left the room, and we retired to­gether through the long corridor before mentioned. I was standing near the entrance to the castle door while the Earl of Clarendon was lighting a cigar, when the Duke of Newcastle rejoined us and said, ‘ Allow me to congratulate you as Sir Stephen Lakemnn, and as to having your head still on. I thought- at one time her Majesty was going to out it off.”

Only Case on Record.One of the mules in the Big Evans is

going lanio on three legs to-day, and thereby hangs a brief "but marvelous tale. On last Thursday afternoon this mule in question was not working, and amused itself romping about the corral. There was a post, containing a number of nails partly driven, within the con­fines of the inclosure, and the mule dis­covered that fact. Backing up within easy reaching distance, it began kieking the nails home. "When the head of a nail projected but a short distance it would tap it gently with its iron-hound hoof, and drive it just as a carpenter with a good hammer would a nail. When a- nail was only half driven then it would require a heavier blow, bnt the mule apparently understood perfectly the weight to be applied to the nail. Something like fifty or sixty nails were driven in this manner, and then a rough old twenty-penny was encountered. Two or three fair blows were admvnir ‘ ered without any perceptible results, and then the mule fairly trembled with sub­dued rage and anger. Stepping a little further away from the post, it laid hack its ears, doubled up its hack, and fired away with both ends. The blow was a terrific one, and the post was broken off at the ground. In the kick, though, the mule had in some maimer outdone" itself, and sprained the tendons of the left hind leg seriously, and now goes lame. It is the first instance where a mule lias been known to lame himself in a kicking matinee.—Leadville (Col.) Chronicle.

Why Ladies Can't Sharpen Lead Pen­cils.

A lady contributor to the Californian thinks she knows why a woman cannot sharpen a lead pencil: In the first place, she doesn't attack it boldly enough ; she is afraid of soiling her fin­gers. Then she never has a sharp knife.” Let her borrow, say you. The California lady has tried that with this result: “ If Adam, the husband, orAdonis, the brother, or even Johnny, the son, lends a knife for the purpose, he first opens the dullest, hrokenest blade, and then sneers at the result. H Eve has a-knife of her own, nobody will sharpen it for her,” and it goes without saying that she cannot sharpen it her­self. “ I have,” continues this lady, “ seen a woman sharpen a xieneil with a carving-knife, but that was an extreme case.” Forney’s Progress wonders if this writer, who seems so ’willing to be­tray the peculiarities of her sex, can ex­plain why a woman’s watch never goes. Of coiu-se, one reason is that it is never wound up, but why it is not is what puzzles Progress. Most watches, nowa­days, sre stem-winders, so the always- lost key is no longer an excuse.

■ g»i ^ 4- M. WCured o f Swearing.

Tn “ Quaker Anecdotes,” edited by Richard Pike, there is a pretty story of a certain “ Friend Hopper,” who once had a man named Kane brought before the magistrate and fined for blasphemy. He did not see the man again for a long time; hut, twenty years afterward, when he was st anding at his door, Kane passed by. The Friend’s heart was touched by liis appearance, for he looked old, feeble and poor. He stepped out, shook hands with him, and said: “ Dost thou remember me, and how I caused thee to he fined for swearing?”

“ Yes, indeed, I do,” he replied; “ I remember how many dollars I paid as well as if it were hut yesterday.”

“ Did it do thee any good?” inquired Friend Hopper.

“ Never a "bit,” answered he. “ It only made me mad to have my money taken from me.”

The poor man was invited to walk into the house. The interest was calculated on the fine, and every cent repaid to him.

“ I meant it for thy good,” said the benevolent Quaker, “ and I am sorry that I only provoked thee.”

Kane’s countenance changed at once, and tears began to flow. He took the money, -with many thanks, and was never again heard to swear.

----------- ' I I C I I .Sagacity o f Ants.

"When Dr. Franklin was in Paris, as he sat quietly alone at liis breakfast one morning, he saw a number of black ants busy with the contents of the sugar- howL He drove them away, but they returned. Again he dispersed them; in a few minutes they were seen climbing from lump to lump, as if nothing had happened. To try their ingenuity, he had the sugar-howl suspended by a string from the ceiling. They endeavored to reach it by standing on each other’s back; several mounted in this manner and reached upward, hut in vain; the ohain of ants fell down as fast as it was raised. After repeated attempts they went away, and he supposed they had given up the matter; but presently he saw them descending the string and dropping down upon the lumps of sugar. They had sealed the walls, traversed the ceiling, and discovered another road to the treasure.

Disfranchisement in England.Guizot, while on a visit to Lord Aber­

deen in Scotland, was talking to him in the park one day about the English sys­tem of elections, when his host stopped before a modest cottage. “ This little house,” he said, “ recalls to me ashome- fnl deed in my political life.” “ What! an act of violence?” “ You shall hear. I had a tenant here, an independent fel­low, who annoyed me horribly. In ev­ery election he strenuously opposed me. I made up my mind to he rid of him.” “ Ha 1 you turned him out?” “ No. I reduced his rent by a guinea and de­stroyed his qualification—a mean trick, and Fve always been ashamed of it.”— Pall M all Gazette.

The Justice of Presque isle.In Presque Isle county, toward Mack­

inaw, is a beautiful lake—High Grand lake—on whose shore stands a club-house owned hv sundry fish-loving citizens of Adrian, Mich. The country around is pretty much as nature made it—rough— and the few backwoodsmen living there are much like the country. One of them, named Crawford, was lately elected Justice of the Peace. A wood-chopper made complaint that a certain raftsman had beaten him, aud asked for a warrant for the offender’s arrest. The Justice’s entire stock of legal blanks consisted of a auurmonsanda subpeena. After spending some time vainly in trying to make these papers fit the case, he got mad, Hung down life papers, and addressed the com­plainant thus : “ See here, mister, this court is bound to see justice done in this township. You pay me $2.50, costs of court, show me the man, and the courtwill lick the------ out of him in twomimites. ” Complainant paid the costs and pointed out the man. The “ court,” with majesty in his brow and liis sleeves rolled up, went for the offender, and in sixty seconds thrashed him to the full content of both parties. The court then put on his coat and remarked that “ lie was a peace officer, and wished it under­stood tliat this court would preserve the peace, and any man who thought he could raise thunder la that neck of woods would have tc try the case with the court personally.” l ro other case has since been tried by ’Squiie Crawford.—Madison Journal.

A "Wandering Jfecdle.A few weeks ago, as a young lady of

Salisbury, Md., was getting into a car­riage a sewing-needle was by some means forced into her thigh, hut, being consid­ered a trifling matter, little or no atten­tion was paid to it at the time. Several days after this occurrence, however, her ankle pained her very much, and on examination it was found that tue needle was the cause of it. In her efforts to get it out it broke, and she only suc­ceeded in getting one part (the eye half) of it out. The point part remained, and two days after she felt that just below the knee, but was still unable to get it out. Two weeks then elapsed and she felt something in her throat, but the ob­struction was supposed to be a' fish­bone. After several efforts to remove it she at last succeeded, and it proved to he the point part of the needle. Tims, in a few weeks’ time, a common sewing- needle enters a person at the thigh, makes its way down to the ankle, then retraces its steps and goes np the body and comes out at the throat. This may appear to he an incredible story, bnt it is true nevertheless. It is vouched for by a gentleman of unquestioned ver­acity ,

--------0*«S3>«-0--------The Philosophy ot Small Tali.

In conversation the power to talk jnst because we want to say something is a great acquisition, and a positive pre­requisite. No man can succeed in mixed companies unless he is skilled in small talk, and finds it easy to speak of one’s health, one’s appearance, one’s closest suiToitndings, or a flying rumor and oth­er things which have no importance and convey no special amusement. Some profound people despise this. One thinks: “ Let these trifles expend their buckshot, and X will then fire my artil­lery.” Perhaps, however, he finds the buckshot lasts, and that there is no de­mand for his artillery. His right meth­od would he to fire buckshot with the rest—to show that he could do better than they—and by this means he might interest them in other modes of shooting, and even excite a desire to witness his artillery performance. I know a learned professor who talks grandly to one listener. A gentleman who met him at dinner with eight or ten others’ said that during the whole time, excepting what he spoke aside to servants, the only expression which escaped the lips of the professor was the word “ Yes,” and that in reply to a direct question. “ Now,” added the informant, “ if he had thrown about some conversational small coin his companions would have said: ‘ We like the quality and impress of this ; we must have some more from the same mint, bnt of larger value.’ "-Thoughts and Events.

_ _ W e hear a good deal about that “ abomination called fried steak.” We will tell yon how to make tough steak tender, aud how to fry it so that it will be juicy! Do not pound it either with a rolling-pin or a potato- masher, or even with that jagged piece of metal or crockery-ware which liouse- fumishing dealers will try to delude you into buying. If you do pound it, yon will only batter its fibers and let out all its juices: Pour into the bot­tom of a dish three table-spoon­fuls each of vinegar and salad oil, sprinkle on them half a salt-spoonful of pepper (and a table-spoonful of chopped parsley, if you have it). Do not use any salt. The action of the oil and vin­egar will be to soften and disintegrate the tough fibers of the meat, without drawing out its juices. The salt would do that most effectually, and harden the fibers beside. You may add a teaspoon­ful of chopped onion, if you like its flavor. Lay the steak on the oil and vinegar for three or four hours, turn­ing it over every half hour, and then saute, or half-fry it quickly. Season it with salt after it is cooked, and serve it with a little fresh butter, or with the gravy from the frying-pan. If you fol­low these directions and do not try to improve upon them, you can have tender steaks hereafter if you will.

Tlie Girls o f England."When a girl has received the best ed­

ucation which schools can afford; when she has learned to sing, dance, embroi­der, knit; when she has a pretty face, a taste for finery, and a desire to have a house of her own. she soon turns rest­less on finding that no eligible proposals are forthcoming for her hand. In the nature of things, it must heeds be that the majority of girls in the middle class are condemned to remain single in their prime. Men cannot marry until their prospects are well assured, and this hap­pens to most men only when they are bordering on 30.—London Truth.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.

Take Away.There were four little boys

TVho started to go,From the very same spot,

To make tracks In the snow.He that made his path str&ightest.

They had in their plan,Of all of the four

Should he their best man.Nowr these four little boys

Mere Philip, and John,And merry-faced Harry,

And sober-eyed Don;The best friends in tho world,

Aud full of invention In play, but they seldom “

Were found in contention.Well, they started together,

And hurried along.But John, Don, and Harry

In some way went wrong;The fourth made his path

Nearly straight, ana they wondered, When all tried alike,

Why they three had blundered.Then Philip replied,

“ The reason you see,Though no harder I tried

To succeed than you three,I pushed for that oak.. Going forward quite ready, *While you struggled on

Without aim, and unsteady.”Now, you sec, my dear boys,

What such lessons teach.If there is a point

Thai you wish to reach—A position in life

At all worth the naming,I f you gain it, ’ twill greatly

Depend on your aiming.

A W o m a n ’ s N o b le D eed *"Well do I remember the hovel under

the lull, situated on one comer of a little patch of land that was used for the double purpose of garden and orchard. I also remember the old apple ■ trees, which were planted in straggling rows hack of the house. It almost “ sets my teeth on edge” to think of some of the fruit eaten from those trees. But we children dearly loved those grand old trees, not for their fruit, but for the many rambles we had in their huge tops. I also re­member well the fence that ran up by the kitchen, and which, in our childish badness, we used to climb to prevent a younger brother from following when we were off on a ramble over the hills or in the forests.. There are many things that I could tell you of, that are deep down in the recesses of my memory, and that time cannot eradicate.

But, above all, do I recollect the most thrilling sight that my childhood ever saw, and that time can no more efface from memory than can it uproot Mount Monadnock, which is situated near the section where the events took place of which I write to-day.

If you will take a large map of the New England States you will find, near the southwest corner of the State of New Hampshire, a small river marked, and upon its bank will be noted the little town of "Winchester. About, a mile down this swift-traveling stream, from the above-named town, is tlie little cottage spoken of—or it was there only a few years since.

This little stream makes great falls and tumbles as it twists and turns among the bowlders on its way to join the Connecticut river in its downward course to the ocean. Above this cot­tage, which was but a few rods from the river’s hank, is a fall, or succession of falls, the waters of which rushes in and out among the roeks in a white foam, and through which no boat can pass in safety. Directly below this fau. is a comparatively still body of water, across which it is safe to pass in a boat properly manned, and with quiet nerves and a steady head. This “ Still Water,” as it was then called, and is to this day, I supjiose, only extended down from the falls about a hundred yards, when it again commenced its wild career, and went tearing and seething and roaring dowm so far, in fact, that I am not sure that the falls wholly ceased until they united with the more calm Connec­ticut. My father had occasion to cross and re-cross this stream, and so provided himself with a skiff, which was pro­pelled, not with oars, hut with paddles, by which, if you are used to boating, youwillknowitisnot so easily managed. He had been annoyed by persons taking the skiff and using it as they would theirown, and leaving it upon the bank which most suited them, and paying no atten­tion to the accommodation of my father, even with his own properly.

He was so greatly annoyed by these selfish acts that he "bought a stout chain and padlock and seemed it to a conven­ient tree when not in nse. This saved him a great arnoimt of trouble; but even tliis did not prevent nnprincipled jiersons from taking his properly, as you will presently see. At the time of which I write, the railroad which now traverses the river on its south hank, opposite our home, was being built, and a large number of hands were employed to work upon it, and little shanties were put np along the line for the conven­ience of the laborers, most of whom were Irish. It so happened, upon one of their jollification days, that a partyof three came dowm from the town above, and -wished to cross over. My father was away from home, and my dear, kind mother, God bless her, was attending to her family duties, when she heard a cry for help come up from the liver.

The three men had stolen the boat, broken the lock, and Were turning round and round in the middle of the stream, and making no perceptible headway, but were now fast approach­ing the falls below, in which no boat ever went through and came out whole. Tlie men had been drinking and had been partially drunken from the effects of the liquor, but now were apparently sobered through fear; for they realized the great peril they were in, and lustily did they call for help. My mother took in their situation at a glanee, and saw the cause of their predicament. She saw tliat they had committed twowrongs, which led them directly to this edpendmg disaster—the drinking of rum, which was the greater crime, as it lorn tanother, the stealmg of the boat, whereby they were now in a fair way to lose their fives. But with my motherthese things were insignificant in com­parison with human fives, and she con­cluded to do all in her power to save them. But what could she do? It seemed as though she could hardly do anything. She knew that there was no rope at hand, and if she had one it would have taken more than her strength to have gotten it to them. But some­thing must be done. She saw that they"were nearly in the middle of the stream, and were traveling fast, and yet faster, toward the sharp and jagged rocks, against which the impetuous water was dashing itself into foam. No time wasto be lost. Two of the men were kneel­ing in the boat and praying as only per­sons terribly interested can pray. The other had hopes yet in human help, and hailed with joy the coming of my mother. Her thoughts flashed through her brain with the rapidity of lightning,' and she saw that she could only do one thing toward their escape, and*that was to command. Never will I forget the appearance of that noble woman as shestood upon the embankment, near the house, and commanded those weak men to gej; np and work for their fives. And they obeyed as a child obeyB his par­ents—or should’obey. They were by this time nearer the further bank, and)as the boat swung around with its bow toward the shore, they were told to paddle mostly upon the lower side, and, at the proper time, as the boat began to turn, they were ordered to paddle upon the upper side, and this was kept up, the orders given and strictly obeyed, and quite good progress was made toward safety, but, as they neared the other shore, they also neared the falls, and, as

they saw how fast they were going to­ward certain destruction, they almost gave up, but the noble words of encour­agement that rang out over the river from the frail woman upon its bank stimulated them to greater exertion, and, as they came into the glassy waters just above the falls, and which is above and close to all falls, one man reached an overhanging limb, and, grasping it with the grip of a drowning man, pulled safely to the shore. The men quickly snrang ashore, and, as soon as they knew they were safe, fell to the ground with fear and exhaustion. The boat went over the falls and was des­troyed.

Were the men thankful for the kind­ness of my mother toward them ? Yes, they were humans. None but an inhu­man being could be thankless for such a favor. In a few days the party called at the house, and the many expressions of thankfulness and gratitude that fell from their lips were sufficient pay for saving their fives.

I trust that a valuable lesson was learned from this event by these men, and I am in hope that tiney refrained from using ram thereafter, but human nature is composed of such strange ma­terial that with some nothing but death will prevent them from doing wrong, but let us hope that with, these men it was different.

His Uncle’ s Draft.An old tradesman in a country town

sends his nephew Alfred to study law at Paris. He gives him an old code anno­tated by a leading member of the village bar, and says to his young relative, “ I -will pay you a visit in March, and, if I am pleased with your progress, I will give you such a tip as will make glad your heart, and cause your face to shine. ”

In March the old gentleman calls on his nephew.

“ Well, Alfred, hard at work, I see. Made good progress with your code? Pretty well through it, I expect, by this time.”

“ Yes, respected sir, my life has been one demnition grind. Your venerable friend’s marginal notes I found of great service to me while laboring atthe code.”

“ Good boy, excellent young man. You got my draft, of course ? It is a pleasure to me to reflect that my bounty was not ill-bestowed.”

“ Your draft, uncle? No; I never re­ceived it.”

“ Gimme that code.”The old man opens the old book and

shows his stupefied nephew a draft for 2,000 francs dated five months before, which has all the time been reposing be­tween the first two leaves of the code.

A Mystery o f the Honeymoon.The courtship, the engagement, th*

ceremony are over. The bridegroom hands Ms bride into the carriage, and the honeymoon begins. Now observe one of the most singular facts in the whole history of conrtsMp, a fact to wMch there is no known exception: The bridegroom never can recall the first words spoken by him to the bride in that carriage, m iy? TMs question has been asked a hundred thousand times, and never satisfactorily answered yet. Some attribute the forgetfulness to joy ; some to confusion; some fancy the words are of such an extremely ro­mantic nature, the man finds it more consistent with his dignity not to recall them. The answer is none of these. It is much more prosaic and practical The secret of forgetfulness is that he has al­ready said to her everything he could think would interest her, everything that does interest him. His conversa­tional resources are exhausted, and he has nothing to say. Instead of an im­portant speech, he utters some dreamy commonplace, throws himself back into the cusMons, devoutly thanking heaven “ the thing is over.” Thus, before the honeymoon is five minutes old, the bridegroom breaks down.

The Horse.What a noble servant, what a splendid

and right royal gift to man, is the horse 1 That fine creature is as much entitled to kindness and forbearance as a human servant or friend, in all respects in which lie can appreciate it, and cruelty to him, for aught I can see, is as sinful. Who can witness, without pity and wrath, the blows inflicted upon that noble animal every day in our streets, in anger or recklessness, to force him along with a burden too heavy for him, or to anun- natuial speed, or merely to afford vent to the vexation, or impatience, or ani­mal energies of a more brutal driver—a creature, too, with a skin so sensitive that a fly can drive him to distraction 1"

His look of gentle submission, or sometimes of reproachful appeal, or of flashing indignation, is very touching to the tender-hearted. It appeals forcibly to the human heart, and stamps every wanton, superfluous "blow as cruel, cold- hearted sin. And many who are not cruel-hearted, axe yet thoughtless, and commit the like outrage from sheer thoughtlessness, forgetting that in sus­ceptibility to pain the horse is the equal of the man.

I t is not an easy tiling to wash win­dows so that they will look clear and well polished, and, if soap-suds are used, it is quite impossible to do it. The old- fasMoned way of taking out all the win- daws, and washing them in soap-suds, and setting them aside to dry, after the suds have been rinsed off, is, to be sure, the easiest way of cleaning them, bnt it also is the worst way to make them look clear and bright. First brush them off well with a sponge or brush that comes for the purpose, and then wrap ,a bit of cloth about a sharp-pointed stick, and wipe out the dust that adheres to the comers, then take some weak tea, boil­ing hot, and add to it a table-spoonful of alcohol and a few drops of aqua ammo­nia, or a bit of carbonate of ammonia the size of an English walnut. Dip a piece of sponge or old flannel or of old canton flannel into it, and rub the glass one way only until it shines clear. "Wipe it off with another cloth, rubbing it un­til welLpofished,

Any one can make a better eau-de- cologne than that which is usually bought by thoroughly dissolving a fluid drachm of the oils of bergamot, orange and rosemary, each with half a drachm of neroli and a pint of rectified spirits. It is also prepared by simply mixing with one pint of rectified spirits two fluid drachms each of the oils of bergamot and lemon, one of the oil of orange, and half as much of that of rosemary, together with three-quarters of a drachm of neroli and four drops each of the essences of ambergris aud musk. I f this is subse­quently distilled it makes what may be called a perfect cologne, but it becomes exceedingly fine by being kept tightly stopped for two or three months to ripen ana mellow before use.

Michigan Publishers’ Association.Dansixg, Jan. l l .—The Michigan

The hill, as prepared by their com­mittee, was adopted unanimously, and each member pledged himself to work for its passage. The press of the State was well represented. The officers- elect for the ensuing year are: Presi­dent, C. AL Deland, o f East Saginaw; First V ice President, Geo. P. Sanford. Lansing: Second Vice President, J.

A S P E V .Aspen, all lia il: thou rising star or beauty

Destined to shine serene among the throng, _ Mine is the honor and the pleasing tlnty,

To pay to thee the tribute of a song.

There needeth prophetic inspiration,To have thy rapid rise to fair renown:

Only the careful, patient observation Or conr-e and sequence makes it surely known.

See the Heaven-towering heaps o f hoarded t reas­ures.

That, all aromnl, arc opening on the view! Behold thy glorious sky whose stainless azure

Outvies lair Italy's celestial hlne.

Thy genial climate isserener, (hirer. Than that or tlie enchanted “ Isle o f G recipe:"

Thy balmy breezes softer are, and clearerThan the mild zephyrs o f the southern scn«.

Thy wealth o f waters, as it leaps and quivers, fo o l, pnre and sparkling, far excels at least

Warm, (titered extracts from dirty rivers.Or stagnant lakelets o f the rising East.

Fuel's on all the hills, coal without measure.Easy otaccess, some short miles below!

* Where nature ston'd away the exhaitsiless treasure. Through the dim cycles of the long ago.

Forests and streams alike hold many a denizen, Fish hook and rifle do too well their work,

Till men grow tired and sick o f trout and venison. And sigh for mackerel and “ pickled” pork.

A perfect town-site: clean and dry and spacious: Smooth as a law it and level as a hay!

A place for home mot merely stopping places* Where health will reign, and hold sway.

X o deadly miasms are here to plague ns;X o subtile poison lurks tit (he untainted air;

X o fevers scorch ns, and no ague shake us :X o iiiflamations horn, nor “ ailments” wear.

Here there i< no'pneumonia to stifle Hale, It trdy ultra, and in the bloom

And glory o f their strength, to rifle Them or their breath, and hurl them to their

doom.

The doctors' practice wasn t wortli a ‘mickle:” They weut away, perchance for want o f “ change,"

And grim old Death, with hour-glass and sickle,It sc -nts, can hardly get across the Bunge.

Here are we on the gate-way o f the nation,To the broad.acres, stretching out below:

Millions on millions, o f the “ reservation,"And it is fate that "the Vte must go.”Such facts as these are over-fraught with meaning,

Strong, foremost links in an unbroken chain: Heralds o f sure events, Vi-- not o'er weening,

To await the certain coming of their train.

0 ! What a throng of men in all eouditl ons,Ere one short summer's flight shall gather here,

For weather, well-paid labor, good position,Bare sport, excitement, health aud cheer.

Mill-runs will draw In men oi means and action.So aud so many “hundred ounces to the ton,”

Has a most rare and powerful attraction,And will have until man's short race he ran.

Senator Logan has introduced a bill to make Grant General of the army, to be on the retired list, and giving the President the privilege of calling upon him for services in an emergency. This has a very objectionable feature o f es­tablishing a high salaried officer with no services to perform, and establish­ing a precedent for others of the same kind. It is well enough to provide for General Grant, but let it be done in some way by which lie will be in active service.

communication from the postmastergeneral upon this subject, in reply to a resolution of inquiry, which was lying on the speaker's table, was not read. The Democrats seem to lie very much afraid of letting its contents become public. The house then went into committee of the whole on the Indian appropriation bill. It was subsequent- reported to the house and passed with­out important amendment. Tlie frank­ing abuse investigating committee was appointed, and the house adjourn­ed.

The question o f government assum­ing control o f railroads is fast coming to a prominent place in public discus­sions in this country. There are many advantages taken by the railroad cor­porations that a little restraint by the government would greatly benefit, and that far the control o f government might not be out o f place, but there are serious objections to the govern­ment owning and operating all the railroads in the country, the same as there would be to its doing nil o f the dry goods business o f the country.

T h e Cass county Board of Supervi­sors at its last meeting adopted the following resolution regarding the re­ward they paid to Marshal Hathaway of this place, at their October meeting.

W h e r e a s , on the 10th day of Yo- vember, A . D. 1880, James IL Stamp, Sheriff o f Cass county, commenced a suit in the Circuit Court against tiie comity for the recovery of a reward offered by the Board of Supervisors, in regard to the murder of the late Wm. Young, and heretofore honestly awarded by said Board of' Supervisors to another claimant, before tlie com­mencement of said suit. And

W h e r e a s , the Board of Supervisors were not, nor its chairman, notified by the Clerk of said Court, or tlie Prose­cuting Attorney, Hansen D. Smith,, o f the commencement of said suit, or of the time thereof, and were not advised or consulted in relation thereto, by said Prosecuting Attorney.

Therefore, he St resolved that the conduct of said Prosecuting Attorney, is in the opinion of said Board in the said matter censurable.

Be it futher resolved by said Board of Supervisors now here, that in the event that said suit be decided against the county that it be immediately re­moved to the Supreme Court of the State for review.

B eit resolved that James H. Gra­ham, chairman o f the Board o f Super­visors, he and lie is hereby appointed and constituted the agent of the county to prosecute or defend said suit in the Supreme Court, and for the em­ployment of counsel therefor.

Be it further resolved that said Janies II. Graham be authorized and he is hereby authorized and empower­ed by the Board of Supervisors to em­ploy counsel to assist tlie Prosecuting Attorney, Joseph B.

Tlie body of a man was found dead on tin* railroad track, just this side of Kalamazoo. Saturday morning. From an account-hook found in his pocket, it is supposed that lie was Charles Bade, salesman for a Chicago cigar firm, and it is thought from the check In his hat that lie fell from an express train in the early part of the night. There were evidences of considerable struggling, and it is thought he must have been all night dying.

A careless clerk in Climax, about 12 miles west of Battle Creek, undertook to weigh out some powder from a stock of 125 pounds, Tuesday night. The result is, a store blown to pieces, ten men seriously, and three probably fa­tally injured. Such work is against the law but there will be nothing done in this ease but to bury the criminal.

It took several neighbors to get her out.

In clearing a portion of his farm, nine years ago this winter, Richard Yan Ess, of Afontcalm, left standing a pine tree, which could then be spanned by his two hands, measuring live inches in diameter at the ground.

Exposition of 1876. "Wandering through the United States section of this wonderful exhibition, hiper-orna- mented and over displayed as the most of it is, I came upon an elegant glass case, whose modesty was more con­spicuous from its neighbors finery, sur­mounted by the motto Dig ids Proemia, and displaying in neat packages, the medical preparations of the house of Dr. ,T. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Alass.

I was aware of the world-wide repu­tation of this eminent firm, for the character and quality of their goods, and remember well their agents in .London, Alessrs. Yewberry, in St. Paul’s Church-yard. Having a leisure hour, I determined to examine the contents oE this ease, myself, and I was surprised to see the delicate perfection to which they had brought their household rem­edies. I was chagrined at tlie reflec­tion that, while we had at home the most skillful and pre-eminenlly the best physicians in the world, these Yankee doctors distance Us so far in the line of popular medicines for fam­ily use. They have the sharpness to take advantage of the high scientific discoveries among us. and make pills and potions as palatable as they are salutapy. I was told by a leading druggiit in Pailadelpliia. that Dr. Ayer's manufactory was the largest in America, giving employment to hun­dreds. I must go to Lowell and see it on my way home.—Correspondent of the London (Eng.’l Telegraph.

The Bunbury defalcation case comes to the surface one more in a decision of the Supreme Court, which leaves the verdict against the Bunbury bonds for the amount of the defalcation and all costs, which now amounts to a good sum. The mistake first made was when the comity took up a law suit that belonged to Xiles to settle. The case will now probably have a new trial in the circuit..

The Record is under obligation to D. At. Ferry & Co. of Detroit for a package of (lower and vegatalile seeds, and for one of their beautiful cata­logues. As our garden is not yet ready to harvest, we are unable to pass an opinion on the quality of the seeds, but they are from one o f the largest establishments of the kind in the coun­try, and one that has a reputation for sending out good seeds.

T he Xiles Republican, although for so long a constant visitor, was quite a stranger as it appeared last week. It had been putting on a new dress, brightening up its face, growing in size, and changing in form from a nine column folio to a seven column quarto. AVe are pleased-da note these evidences of thrift and prosperity in onr neighbor, the Republican, for it is a paper that deserves the prosperity this indicates.

It is very seldom that any judicial circuit is more fortunate in electing a gobd Judge than has this one been in tiie election of Judge Smith. AVlien he came to the ofliec he found a docket filled with cases that had been there to worry over for years. These lie has cleared away, and has since kept it within the regular business of the county. Judge’ Smith's reputation for* filling up tiie State prison is having a a good effect on the amount of criminal proceedings in this circuit.

During the year isso there were shipped from the AI. C. station, in Three Oaks in ,027 bushels of wheat, and -4.050 bushels of oats, and during the year 1370, there were shipped SO,- 001 bushels of wheat and 2,760 of oats. The cash receipts of that station for 1330, were, on freight received. §3.0Lu­l l : on freight forwarded. $15,203.02. and on ticket sales, $2,013.10. For the above figures we are indebted to Air. Al. TI. Baum, tiie company’s agent at that place.

Still the Board of Supervisors fail to comply with the requirement of the statutes, in regard to publishing the re­port of the business for the year. This time, so near as we are able to learn, the failure comes from the fear of of­fending some of the publishers, by say­ing which paper should do the work, the question eliciting a quite spirited discussion. The direct cause of the trouble appeared to be the Record and Berrien Springs Journal. They need not have any compunctions in regard to injuring the feelings of the Record, however the Journal may fee! in the matter.

If the Xiles Republican will use the word “accepted” where it said “ tender­ed,” in its item in last week’s issue, regarding the narrow gauge railroad, it will he nearer right. The tendering was done by the company, and the ac­cepting by the other party.

Mrs. X . F rame, Chairman Ex. Com.

Treasurer’s R eport.—The Board of Supervisors settled with the County Treasurer, George AV, Rough, at their last meeting, and found his account all right. The following is the account as taken from the books of the clerk:

Terrible A ccidext.-A little daugh­ter of Air. T. Long In this place got her clothes on lire, while her mother had gone to a neighbor’s for some water Tuesday afternoon, and when her mother returned her clothes were burned nearly off, and her flesh cooked to a crisp. She died in a few minutes.

The Berrien County Grange has or­ganized a series of institutes to he held at different parts of the comity. The next one will he at Stevensville to-mor­row (Friday) afternoon, Jan. id. Pa­pers on the Home, Farm, and Orchard will he read hy Airs. Chas. F. Howe, A. X . Woodruff, AV. B. Jones, A . Carlton, and others. These meetings are to be open, and the public is invited to be present.

will be seen by. the report of the work of the Board of Supervisors, which we copy from the Journal, that honorably body has authorized the Prosecuting Attorney to commence suit against the bondsmen o f John Tate for $2,000, unless they pay into the county treasury that amount. AVe learn there is about $400 in the posses­sion of the administrator of the Tate estate that will he turned to the same purpose. The account of the county against that estate and the bondsmen is about §0,-200, and that is what the coun­ty ought to he satisfied with, and no less. One of the uses generally made of bondsmen, is to pay what the princi­pal fails to pay. and that is just what they should expect to do in this case. The Record, for one. objects to any such compromise as the Board pro­poses.

One of the busy and enterprising men of this county is located in Galien in the maufacture of fork, shovel, spade, sc-oop, hoe, rake, broom and mop handles, cradle-fingers, barley forks, Yalley clothes bars, two kinds of animal pokes, and Buckeye patent truck and bag holder. Considerable of a line for one factory, hut no one article is allowed to Jag on account of the great number. AH. K. AV. Mon- tross has now sixty men employed in the manufacture of the above articles. He is now cutting the timber from several pieces of land in that vicinity, where he has bought the timber stand­ing, and spuds it away from Galien manufactured into the above named articles.

Besides it takes a less quan­tity-of Wistaris Balsam to cure a cold. A single dose is often sufficient. For deep seated Golds and Consumption it has proven itself to be the best and quickest cure ever discovered.

The Monroe doctrine, as promulgated, in President Monroe's message of Pec. 2. 1S23, was that it was the policy of the Prated States neither to entangle our­selves in the broils of Europe nor suffer the Old World to interfere with the affairs of the Xew. In eSier words, that Americans should govern America.

Tobias H obson was a carrier at Cam­bridge, England, in the seventeenth century. He kept a livery stable, but obliged the university students to take his horses in rotation—always the one nearest to the door of the stable.

Little things are like flakes of snow— harmless enough, in single flakes—but what is mare powerful than an ava­lanche, carrying away villages in its course o f devastation.—Jl F . Gough.

Before the invention of paper, many devices were had recourse to for writing materials; inscriptions were engraved on rock, and the letters filled up with lead; they were also cut on prepared tablets of stone, of wMch kind were the tables giv­en to Moses, containing the ten. com­mandments. The Assyrians stamped the impress of their letters upon baked bricks and cylinders o f day, which were afterward baked. The Greeks and Romans tised their wooden hoards cov­ered with a coating of wax. They were written upon with a metal stylus, mid the writing could he easily effaced when no longer needed. "Plates of metal and thin sheets of ivory were also employed, and the skins of animals, either in the form of parchment or in a less-prepared state. The leaves of trees were used. Those of the talipot tree are still used in some parts of the East. The papyrus or paper- reed, of Egypt, superseded all other ma­terial, whenever it could be obtained.

Mr. L tscoiiX used to tell a story about, a big Hoosier who came to Wash­ington, during the war, and called upon a street Arab for a shine. Looking at the tremendous boots before him, he called out to a brother shiner across the street : “ Come over and help, Jimmy. I ’ve got an army contract.”

At a crowded French country theatera woman fell from the gallery to the pit, and was picked up by one of the Specta­tors, who, hearing her groaning, asked if she was much injured. “ Much in­jured!” exclaimed the woman, “ I should think I am.

A c l a ss of little “ primary ” children were busily engaged in their reading lessons. They read in order something like tlie following: “ The hat is in tlie box.” “ Themanisin the box.” “ The rat is in the box.” “ The cat is in the box.” When all at once up came a chubby little hand, the signal for per­mission to speak. “ Well, what is it, Mattie?” said the teacher. “ I should fink ’e box;’ood be full after a while. ”

A s e r v a n t , fresh from the country, enters the employ of an old fop wlio re­sorts to various artifices to conceal the evidences of age.
