Imaginable and o ooncoltcil
In tho middle liouno of the right-band
row UtoI tho musician of tho placo a
little wrinklod old man, with a wooden
leg, ratty hair and a hooked nose, and a
fa.ee that wan always wrinkling np, aa if
it were making a not to catch ideaa.
Tliejr called him " (ho profeanor," and
the aqnlre's daughter and tho doctor!
daughter and the lawyer's wife, and tha
two rich old maidi that are to be found
pa arery Tillage, and aix of the minister'!
"oliTe branched," took lessons of him.
And on summer evenings, when ho
ned to ait playlngHerr Worstanadrnm'a

minor, all the rillago nsxl to gather
round hia houao, and aay, aottly, one to
another:
"What n great man ii the profossor,
and what a wise and enlightened and
noble and art-loving pooplo are we Blun
dem&rians 1"
Ho waa a Tery absent man, this pro
feasor; for his brain waa so full of
orotchota and quavers that he couldn't
tell cup of coffee from a sheet of mu
tic, and wore hia wooden leg npsids
down half the timo ; and whenovcr hii
Jaughler Martha (who waa a sort of
Maine fairy, and kept hia house in order,
and hia queer old ideas straightened out)
would aay, " Father, the squiro'a daugh
ter, or tho doctor's daughter, ia waiting
for you," off went the professor like
shot hia faded dressing-gown stream
ing in the wind, his ratty locks unrov
ered, and his sound foot, without shoe
or stocking, hopping through tho streets
like mad ; and than all tha Blunder.
oariana would raise their hands and so
one mora, oaa to anolhar t
"Oh, what a great maa Is tha pro
Isaaorl"
But, after a while, there found his
way to the rillago a young man, with
dark, thoughtful eyes, and long, curling
hair, who unpacked his trunks and set
np a hugo sign, announcing that ho was
a professor also. And all tho neighbors,
aa they went by, used to sniff at it and
ay:
" I guess ho can't play Hcrr Worst
anadrum'a pieces I" And there was a
(Taster crowd round the old professor's
bouse than ever.
The young man, however, didn't seem
to take it much to heart ; but ono even
ing, when hia neighbor hail finished the
adagio movement in Q double-sharp
minor, he sat down to his piauo ; and
all tha Blundernarians laughed for tho
first few nok weto not a bit like Ilerr
WorstanaJrum's.
Ha heard the laugh, but he played
on; and, present! r, there rame through
tha window sounds like tho rustling of
jainta ami the murmur of water, and tho
songs of birds, and shouts of children,
and tinkling of bells; and all the Blun
riamariana who didn't curry handker
chiefs fell to wiping their eyes on their
aprons and jacket-sleeve ; and bang I
want the window of the professor, who
had ben listening. And all that night
ha aulked lu his easy-chair, and
wouldn't speak a word to his daughter
Martha when she urgwl htm to go to
bad.
A1W that, the aquire'a daughter
iM&d oat what handtomo oyc tho

tor's (Uogbter ; and then all the Blun
atJllfam discoverul that tho old pro
Isaac waa out of dato, and shabby, and
maty, and queer, and a gooao Instead
- ti iwan ; and in a little while hia pu
pils had all dropped off. And the crowd
was around tho young man's window,
Witt had always something new to play;
H4tbaoU man sat scowling In his

There was quit a silence, and then
thnstranger nwii to go ; but tha surly
old man fancicsl that Im una frightened

With a deep sigh, tho young man
seated himself at tho insttlimmit, Tho
professor wrinkled his face, look
oft his spectacle and cooked hi
ear critically, ttiuio marum uiniiii
her back tohido her tears till, hearing
a great sniff Ixihinil her, sho saw that
her father mm weeping, and making tho
most-terrible grimnco lo hide It.
When ho had tlnislied, tho old pro
fessor got n p, and shut tho piano with
out i won! ; and Martha, llushed and
trembling, wont with tho stranger to
tlm door for sho knew from her father'
look that he was an) ing to himself that
ho would noer play again.
On the door-step sho thought to look
at tho handkerchief ; but it wivs liner
than any she hnd ever owned, and Ik'iiu
tlfully embroidered.
"Take it," shu said, handing it back.
"This Is not mine."
" I know it," answered tho yonng
man; "hut I kept your purposoly.
Oold would not buy it of mo," And,
with a grnvo lxiw, ho went nway,
' ' Wiat waa tlint young jscknnape say
ing to you?" nsked her father, whou aho
camo back.
Martha, who did not know how to de
ceive, told him overy word.
" Oh, ho 1" growled tho old man, " 111
havo him there. If ho has stolen nway
my pupil.), ho shan't havo my daughter.
Tho ueit timo he comes, you'ro not to
let him in do you hear, Mnrtha?"
" Yes, sir," nnswered Martha. And,
letting fall a pile of plates, broke hulf of
them, tore her only gown in trying to
save them, burned her lingers when alio
lighted her father's pile, got well
scolded and went crying to bod.
After that, every morning was laid on
tho door-steps a brnco of birds, a basket
of fruit, or some fine fish, always for tho
professor, who log.iu to fancy that somo
of his old friends had nt last romem
bered him, and chuckled mightily over
them to Martha, who blushed red as a
roso, but never said a word.
One morning, howovor, tbo old man
who was as curious as n woman took it
in his head to find out w hothor it rained
fish, birds and fruit, or whether ho had
still a friend in Blunder; and, posting
himself behind the curtains, watched
tho door-steps as a cat would n monso,
till, to his horror, ho descried tho dark
eyed joung professor in tho vory act of
depositing a superb haunch of vonison.
" Yon Bconndrol I you villain I you
coward I" shrieked Uio old man in a
fury, throwing open the window; "you
wretch I you poisoner I you pottifoggor 1
you huckster I you mummy I you '
Here, as ho could think of nothing
elso, ho throw his wooden leg at him.
Tho young man picked it up, and po
litely handed it to Martha, who camo
running to tho window, as by Uiis time
did also halt of tho Blundernarians
who, being only half awake, and hardly
dressed at all, decided that tho young
professor had been trying to poison tho
old one ; that he was discovered in tho
act of trying to elope with Martha ; that
tho house was on lira ; that tho old pro
fessor was crazy; that ho war drunk, and
a variety of oquolly consistent and sensi
ble opinions. But tho truth of the mat'
ter leaking out (as it always will, little
one, no matter how deep they bury it),
tbo Blundernarians exclaimed, with ono
voice, that tho old professor was au idiot
and an ass, and, as idiots and asses havo
no right to live, unanimously resolved
to starvo him out, by depriving Mnrtha
of the littloworkby which, alio had been
able to support her father and herself,
Only the minister's wifo couldn't bo
mule to ace that she ought to starvo a
fellow croaturo because he wo poor and
crohs, and between her and tho dark
eyed stranger, who used to smuggle hia
contributions now into tho kitchen, they
managed to struggle on for a few months
longer.
At last, ono day, Martha found Uio
dark-eyed stranger himself in tho kit
chen, and won going to blush and
scream, but concluded to cry, when he
told her that he was going away.
" I havo ruinod your father," he said,
sorrowfully, "and ha won't let me repay
him ; so yon seo I must go.
" It will do no good," answered Mar
tha. "Homo, ono elso will come. You
hate taught other pooplo too much.
They will never como back to Ilerr
Wumtaufulrum."
"But there is another reason," ho
said. " I am very unhappy, I lovo a
little blue-ejixl girl, who U my next-door
neighbor, but her father ht6 me, and
I don't think she would marry me with
out hi consent do youT And he
looked straight into Martha's eyes, as
it ho knew anything about it
" 1 don't think sho would," answered
Mittha, "it sho i. a good gill"
" She U very good," ho sold, positively;
"soyouaeo there is no hope for mo,
and I mutt go,"
On which Maltha whispered some
thing in his ear to which he taidt
"IKi you think to?" to which aim an
awiwd : " I know so I" ou which as
said : "I'll try" and went away,
That evening the professor was quit
alone, and tho door waa open, lie was
wondering what keiH Martha so long.
mid grumbling terribly ai he smoked
his pipe, when In cnino Uio dark eyel
strnngnr,
" I camo to make my peaeo with you,'1
hn said, mournfully, " I am K"'"K
away,"
"Tako a seal, sir," !d tha professor,
growing civil t oneo.
" I am going," hn rotated, sealing
himself elosii to Ihn old man, " for two
reason. The first Is, that I lovo your
daughter Martin, and am snro you
won't let mo have her; but tho principal
utin is Ilerr Worslanadriim."
"Ilerr Womlaiindruni I" repeated ihn
old man, opening his oyi very wide,
' Yiit, I am tormented by tho recol
lection of your suieriir o Hence, My

" lteally I" interrupted Uio old man,
hugely delighted.
" Ye, really. 1 am continually try
ing lo recall it, but ill vain. It haunt
mo ; it cra7e me ; and slnco I cannot
bear tho torture, I tly "
Hut the professor was already nt tho
long-closed piano.
"You shall not go away, my poor
Ixiy, I will play it for you overy day,
and perhaps you might loarn it by do
gree. It la not your fault, you know,
if you did fail."
" Impossible," returned tho young
man, sadly, " You are only too good ;
but I cannot stay "
"Not if I will givo you Martha?"
urged tho old ninu as eagor to keep
him aa ho had ever been to drive him
a Kay.
" That might altor tho case," ho said,
hesitatingly. " But would you play tho
adagio overy day ? "
" I will if you like." And ho did.
And the yua.r professor, with hi arm
around tho waist of his bluo-oyod wifo,
smiles as tho old man crashes nway nt
"Ilerr WorsUnadrnm,"sayingpityingly:
" Poor fellow I ho can nevor play it,"

Tho mountains ot California are
heavily clothed with pines ; two of Uio
most valuable; being tho Hiignr pino and
tho heavy-wooded pine. A writer on
tho vastucss of tho supply of timber in
tho State says,: Thcro is probably moro
timber, and of n quality not surpassed
in tho State, in Fresno county than in
any other in California. Tho timber
belt extends along tho Sierras a distance
of fully 200 miles and varies from ten to
forty mile in width. When tho timber
in tho moro accessible sections U ex
hausted, this valuable belt will bo at
tacked, and its almost inexhaustiblo
supply will givo employment to thous
ands of pernons.'and will rcquiro millions
of capital to handle it, Tho first incent
ive will lo the California Contrnl rail--way.
This will tap the samo belt now
being worked by tho Mndcrn Flumo and
Trading Company, but in timo other
roads will lo built to tap tho pineries on
tho scuth ide of tho San Joaquin nud ol
King' rivers. Thera are millions of
dollars in tho pinoy forests ot Fresno

Fow condiments nro iu more general
lepute than clovo-spico, the product of a
treo growing in the East Indian Archi
pelago and denominated cnryophyllns
nroninlicus by Linmuus. This clove
tree is indigenous to tho Moluccas or
Spice islands, where, as woll as iu Su
matra, Mauritius, Bourbon, Mnrtinique
and St. Vincent's, it is now extensively
cultivated. For a considerable timo the
Dutch mnnnged to restrict tho growth
of this valuahlo treo to tho Moluccas,
but tho selfish policy has completely
failed in it intent. Many parts ot the
clove-tree me odorous, but the cloves of
commerce nro the dried flower-buds;
these being found to contain the odor
ous principles characterizing the spice
moro highly developed than any other
part. The flower-stems, however, are
nearly aa strong; and these, bioken np
into tmall lengths, frequently mingle
with tho cloves of commerce. Tho dried
o'.ovo tlower-bud, with stem attached,
bears a striking similarity to a nail;
hence thn French naniu clou, from which
the word olove ia derived. The fully
expanded flower is iuuoh lcu puugcut
and spicy thautheyetundielopc-d bud;
helico euro has to bo taken lest tho de
velopment proceed too far before gath
ering. When siitllcicntly npe, tne mnis
are collocted cither by hand or else by
oeatiug or houkiug down ery much
as hazel-nuts are plucked. Thoy are
either dried by llro-heot, or, what U
preferable, by exposure to tho aim. Tho
chief virtui) of clove resides iu a pun
gent volatile oil, present to such un ex
tent that it may be forced out anil made
evident to the eye by pressure. By dis
filiation raoat of this volatile oil may lie

Informed of the kind of timber ho would
ho obliged to liiiw. Promptly nt II o'eloek
a, in, uvery scholar wa on hand to wel
eomii tho limn who said Im would " con
quer thn school or forfeit Ills reputa
tion." Having railed thn morning ses
sion lo onlnr, ho snld Hint ho hnd been
engaged to I nice clinrgn of tho school,
Hn 011 mo with hi mini! prejudiced
ngalust tho place. Ho had heard of tho
treatment of tho formal Icnclicm by tho
pupils, yet ImwiiHiiot nt all cmhnrrnnaisl,
lor ho felt that, with proper recognition
nf each othcr'rt right, teacher nnd
Hoholnrn could llvo together in harmony.
Ho did not Intend to threaten, but ho
Intended to make thn scholar obey him,
mid would try nud win tho good-will of
nil present. ' 11" had been engaged to
tnknehnrgo of that room, nud ho wished
tho co-operation of overy pupil iu so do
ing. Ho had no club, ruler or whip,
but nppenled directly to thu heart of
every young man nnd young Indy In tho
room. Whatever ho should do, ho
would nt least show to the pooplo of this
placo that this sehool could bo governed.
Ho spoke tlnjs nnd feelingly nt timo,
yet with perfect dignity ho displayed
that superior executive nbility which, in
after yearn, mndn him such 11 prominent
man. Of courao tho pupils, especially
tho boys, had heard fine words spoken
before, and at onco a littlo smilo seemed
to Hit ncross tho faces of tho leading
spirit in past rebellions.
Tho work of tho forenoon began, when
a lad of 13 placed n mnrlilo between hi.i
thumb nnd fingor, and, with a snap,
sent it rolling aoross tho floor. An tho
tall and handnomo young teacher flaw
this act ho roso from hi scat, nnd, with
out n word, walked toward tho lnd.
"Oct up, Bir," ho said. Tho lad looked
at him to sco if ho wns iu earnest, thou
ho cast his oyo toward tho largo boys to
seo if they wcro not going to take up his
defense. "Got np, sir," said tho teach
er n Hecoud timo, and ho took him by
tho collar of his jacket ns if to raise him.
The lad naw ho hnd no common man to
deal with, nnd ho roso from his Boat,
"Follow me, sir," calmly spoke tho
teacher, and ho led tho way to thu
hall, whilo tho boy began to tromble,
wondering if tho teacher was going to
take him out nnd kill him. Tho primary
department was presided over by n sis
ter of tho new teaoher, and into this
room lie led tho young trnuBgrossor.
Turning to his sister, ho i-nid : "I hnvo
n pupil for you ; select a sent for him
and lot him rcmniu here. If ho makes
any distnrbanco whatovor inform mo."
Turning to tho boy, ho soid : "Young
man, mind your tcachor, and do not
lenvo your scat until I givo you permis
sion," and ho wns gone. Tho lad snt
thero, feeling very sheepish, and, ns
misery love company, it was not long
boforo ho wns grntiflcd to boo the door
opsn nnd observe his scnt-mato entor
with tho new teacher, who repented tlio
orders previously uttered, when ho
quietly anil with dignity withdrew. Tho
number was subsequently increased to
thrco, the teacher returning each timo
without a word to tho other scholars
concerning tho disposition mado of thu
refractory lads. Tlio effect upou tho
rest of tho school was remarkable. As
no intimation ot tho disposition of tho
boys was given, not a ehado ot nnger
displayed on tho countonanco ot tho
now tcachor, nor any appearances of
blood woro noticenblo upon his hands,
speculation was rifo as to what ho had
dono with tho threo chaps. Ho Bpoko
kindly to all, smiled upon tho scholars
who did well in their classes, nnd Boomed
to inspiro all prcsont with tlio truth of
his remarks uttered at tho opouiug ot
tho session. At recess tho mystery that
had enveloped' tho school was cleared
nway, for tho threo lads in tho primary
department wero seen as tho rest ot tha
scholars filed by tho door. Whilo all
tho rest enjoyed tho reco3s, tho throo
lads wero obliged to remain in their
seats, and, whon school was dismissed
for tlio forenoon, tho now teacher en
tered the primary room nnd was alono
with tho young offenders, no Bat down
by them, and, liko a father, talked kind
words and gave good ad vioo. No parent
,over used moro fitting words, nor im
pressed his offspring with tho fullness
thereof, than did the now teacher. Dis
missing them, ho told thorn to ga homo,
and when thoy returned to school, to lx
good boys. That attcrncon tho loys
ware in their seats, and iu two weeks'
time thero was not a scholar iu tho room
who would not do anything tlio tcachor
aaked. no waa beloved by nil, and his
quiet manner and eool digulllcd ways
made him a great favorite. Ho ouly
taught two terms, and overy reasonable
inducement was offered to prevail upou
him to rcmniu, but without avail, His
reply was; "I hnvo accomplished all I
intonded namely, conquered what you
thought was a wild lot of boys, aud re
ceived the discipline that I required. I
regret leaving my charge, (or I have
learned to lovo them, but I am to enter
a law oflleo at onco," Thiat teacher was
Chester A. Arthur, now President of tha
United States; tho teacher of tho pri
mary department was his sister, uow
Mrs. Hayneatworth, and tho tint ot tha
three refractory boy was the writer.

Dnr Gown. A writer, referring to the
common practlco among dairymen to
givo thoir cows, when dry, scanty living,
says : " When n cow cease to givo
milk, or i dried up, any feed in consid
ered good enough for hor. I think this
is n great mistako, nnd tho result Is a
diminished product of milk, both in
quantity nnd quality, whon sho doc
-omo in. Thcro is n Inrgo draught on
tho system to sustain tho calf whilo tho
cow is carrying it ; and to keep tho cow
in good condition good feed is n Impor
tant as whou sho is giving milk. It Is
my opinion that ono dollar' worth of
food when tho cow is dry in worth 81. CO
after sho comes in. An animal in poor
condition cannot digest as much food as
nn animal in good condition. If tho
co r is poor when sho comes in nho will
uot digest dough food to supiKirl the
system, nud, nt tho samo time, to mako
n largo quantity of milk,"
It ha been estimated that unless a
milch cow will pay her owner a profit
overy year of 8 II. 00 she is bolug kept
nt a loss. This fact has had much to do
vith tho growing desiro to improvo
dairy cows, which is resulting in in
Teased importation of, Holstein and
Jorsoy stock, in whom a profit is ordi
narily n suro thing whero tho cow are
properly managed nnd enrod for. Dairy
men throughout tho country rocoguizo
tho fact thnt it does not pay to dopend
iipon tho old-fashioned scrub cow, and
'J10 practlco of investing iu high grado
animals for dairy purposes Is becoming
quito general. Among tho dairy cattle
there is no breed which more complete
ly fills tho requirement of both- butter
nud choese makor than tho Ayrshire,
and thero aro a good nviny exclusivo
dairy farmers who insist thnt n good
lyrshiro cross on a high-grodo Short
Horn will produco not only excellent
dairy stock but such nniumls ns can ba
disposed of for beef pnrpo'os when tho
timo comos. Breeders ot beef cattle
will doubtless tako exceptions to s:ich
ji iden, but if thero bo nny merit iu

GLEAVUSKS.S A FnHVENTtVE OT TlOfl
Diseases. There has been a great deal
eiid nud written upon tho subject o(
Having hogs to run in pnstnros. The
discussion both in nud out ot tho new
papers lina been watched with 11 great dn
cf interest by hog rakers, whose urn '
knowlcdgo, acquired by experience, has
enabled thorn long since to form opinions
upon tho subject. These men, who have
money invested in tlio business, ore
prono to arrive at conclusions based
upou actual observation, from which
thoy form common-senso ideas of what
is beneficial to their stock, and the wUo-
oores who read them long, solt-couso-qucntiol
lectures upon subjects about
which thoy havo no tiersonul knowledge
rcceivo but littlo consideration at tho
hands ot breeders. It is a common re
mark that most anything is good enough
for a hog, and to this sonaeless propo
sition is traced the diseases among swine
owned by breeders who indorse it. Since
time immemorial the hog has been called
tho form scavenger, but, nevertheless,
tho successful breeder is ho who relies
tho least upon the overestimated charae
teristio ot the animal. Bad water, worse
treatment in handling, and asupcrabond
ance of..filth are tho foundations of all
diteases to which hogs are subject, and
it is consequently easy to believe that
the health of tho animal and thu quality
ot tho meat must increase in proportion
to the cleanliness of his food and sur
roundings. It Is believed that there has
been less disease among swine during
tho past year than during any timo for
tbo past decade, aud those who ought to
know attribute tho foot to Increased ear
on thu part ot breeders, who have real
ized tho value of oleanliness. Orata-fed
hogs who hav.i the run of good and nu
tritious pastures, with plenty ol pure
water, ore the ones that bring tho high
est prices in any market. The summer
feed of gross results in bone, muscle
and all the good qualities ol flrst-elaaa
pork, and a fall feed of corn just prior
to marketing makes the plump and
round finish considered so desirable. It
1 uot too much to ray that it swin
raiaera would adopt a universal plan of
cleanliness in raising aud feeding their
stock, it would he but very short tisaa
before complaints ol America pork
would cease to be beard la any Boropeaa
country. Breeders owe it to tbetaaelves
and they owe it to their swiae to adopt
such relorna as will insure tbasB aa d
