Jlut pity nnd deep sympathy for the poor forlorn old couple had crept into her heart; and, how ever dark the future might be, she, like n good soldier, who, though ho cannot sco through din and smoke, still faces the enemy, was determined to go forward. John Drew was tho solo support of his aged parents; his brothers and sisters not having ("patience to livo with tho old peoplo," they said) pride or feeling enough to nsslst in their main tenance "It a n poor place you 'ro como to," said old Mrs Drow, pushing n chair towards the young wife.

"It mought bn bettor, but tho old woman can't keep (hlngs in much order." It was, indeed, n cheerless homo. Two or three pieces of old carpet woro spread over the unclean floor; nnd a few dilapidated wooden chairs, a small pino table, an old stove, nnd n small cracked mirror thnt hung upon the wall, comprised tho furniture, ex cept that contained in two small bedrooms, to ono of which tho poor heart-sick girl had been shown on her nrrivnl, A firo had been kindled in the stove whllo sho was up-stalrs ; and hearing it snap nnd blaze, the old lady disappeared Into a little room, and soon returned with n snioko-be- grimmcd tin tea-kettle, whon the old, man 'j n t w ui ' -" ..... . . . removed tho'' stove-cover,' while bls'wiro made sundry cflsrts to place tho kettle there on.

Up from tho Mad river valloy, on tho hillside, stands a brown farm-house, nestling almost in the shadow of old Lincoln, which stands eternally guarding tho vales below.

Hero, among the grand old mountains, in oloso com panionship with nature, oleven children grew to maturity of whom ton aro still living.

Tho eldest son known doubtless to many of the readers of the Farhkr, though bo has never contribu ted to its columns, is Dr 0. N. ISrigham a long-timo resident of Mont poller, Art.

Maple Grove, October, 1875. ALootufo on Scolding. Scolding is mostly a habit, Thoro is not much meaning to it. It is often tho result of nervoustcss and an irritable condition of both mind and body. A person is tired or annoyed at some trivial causo and forthwith commences finding fault with everything and erervbod v in reach. Bcoldintr is a habit very easily formed, It is astonishing bow .-l ' 1 1 i !. . -1 1 I . auutj uuo wuu luuuijus iu 11, ai, nip uuuuijiua addicted to it and confirmed in if. It is w unreasoning and unreasonable habit. Por tions who onco get in the way of scolding always find somothing to scold about. It thcro. is nothing else, tboy fall to sodding at the mere absence of anything to scold at. It s art extromoly disagreeable Tiablt, It is contagious. Oooe introduced ioto a family, It is pretty certain n a short time, to affect all tbe members. People in the country more readily fall in the habit of scoldine than peoplo jn town. Women contract tho habit moro frequently than men. This pay be because they live moro constaotly4in the bouse, In a confined and heated atartsphere, very. trVlng to the ncrvoui system and: the health jn general; and it may be, partly, that their natures are moro susceptible and Stir sensitiveness mors easily ,w6uodd., o proper romcdy for tbd habit, if formed, la mj experience an ondowmont of that divine lovo shed abroad in the renowod heart bv the Holy Ghost, tho charaoteristioa of which aro that it "is not easily provoked," "thfnk elh no evil," and "beareth hi! things'." 11 , The OroH-Patoh. I know a little black.eved hnv. with iiMii curls all over his head. Ho is very sweet and pleasant when tilings go right I but he has day w)ien everything seems to go Wrong, and then he Is called Dross-Patch. Ills Othor name is Frank. When thaao davs come round ovpry.bodj wishes it .was night. a rod nose aud a snuffle, and drags his feet kloog as If they wero flat-irons, i'apa hears him coming, and savs. "Fall ing barometer, hoavy showers, and possibly storms." Papa savs this as if ha wera read. ing tho nowspaper, but he is really roadiog rraas. As Cross. 1'atch comes into the room and bangs tho door, Tom, his big brother, ex claims, "Indicative mood I" and Susie, whd rrnc.u in ihn fitirh ahnnl ln1.a "Objectivo caso, and tu. agrees with every Douy in, mo nrst person singular V "1 don't care : I ain't ! and you shan't laugh at me I" roars Franki "Urotb-pash 1" lisps littlo Lucv. "Uome here, Frank," says mamma,, very gently, "and toll mamma what is tho mat ter." "l'hcbo got soap in my eyes, and she washed my face bard in the middle, just as If I didn't havo any nose at all. and the comb stuck in my hair every time and hurt, and' "Apd you got out at tho foot of tho bed 1" says provoking Tom. "No, 1 didn't. I got out ut tho ttdo; and 'tisu't lair 1" ones Frank. ".No," says papa, with a sigh, "I see it isn't ; it is Vry cloud r and threatening," Then they all laugb, and Gross-Patob gots worse and worse. He sits down at the table, and takes n baked potato ; it is hot, and burns his fingers; s) he pushes his plate away very hard, and upsets a glsss ol milk, aud has to be scot up-stairs. Ho puts an apple in his pocket, and goes off to sohool without any broakfaBt. On the way a big, oaa Doy ibkcs the appio away Irom him, juit as bo is going to take his first bito. At school things aro oo better. The hardest word in the spelling lost on is through, anu oi course tne tcae&er eives him that word to spell, and ho sticks in the middle of it, and can t gat through, Then comes the multiplication tablo. and he teacher asks him "nino times four,' and act answers, "slxty-three." The crosswise has got into his brain, and be keeps on say ing "sixty-tbreo" till he thinks it is right ; and then bo is very cross when he is told to :learn his lesson, and stay after school to recite it. As be goes homo ho wishes ho could meet tho man that made the spelling book, and the other mati that made the multiplication tabic, bo that ho might knock them both down, and jump bo them with ail his might, a long time ; but, as he doosn t see them any where, he thinks he will play ball. He plays that the front gato is the spell ing.book man, and that tho lantern post Is the mao that made the multiplication table and he sends the ball, first at ono, snd then at the other, with ereat furv. At last. In very wild throw, Cross. Patch hits the mul tiplication man I mean the lantern post- on the head. Tho pieces come rattling down on the sidewalk, aud this dreadful noise frightens away all tho orossneje. Frank runs into tho houso to his mamma, and tall hor how sorry ho is, and begs her to tell papa all about it, and gives her all the money in his littlo savings bank, to pay for tho broknn lantern. Then mamma asks him if ho is sure that Cross-Patoh lias gono away entirely, and he cries a great shower of tears, and says, "Yes, mamma, every inch of' him! and. mamma gives Frank some supper and puts him to bed, and tells him to pray to the good angels to drive (Jross.l'atcb very .far off, in tho night, so that he oan't got back lor a great many days. Wide Attakt. Something Like. Closo upon the shore of Lako Winncpise ogee is a town, and in that town dwells a man whom wo will call Amber. Mr Amber keeps a store ; and, as ho is a genial, accommodating man, he keeps for kale everything nhluh tho good peoplo iu tbo country can reasonably oxpeot him to keep. Particularly has it been tho practioe ol Mr Amber to keep a barrel ot whisky on tap in his cellar. Ono iu tho fall aud one in tho spring will general! y carry him through He is very careful to whom he sells, and, so far as is known, the authorities have never given him any trouble. One day Mr Eliphalot Spoonor entered the store with a slight protuberance visiblo upon his left breast. Mr Spoonor was a deacon and a most proper man. Ho called the merchant aside and aikod him if ho had any good whisky. Amber noddod in tho affirmative. "Will you let mo havo a pint 7" and the deacon pulled from his breast pooket a pint bottle. "Certainly," said tho trader ; and forth with he departed for tho cellar. When he returned ho brought the full bottle, carefully wiped and corked. "What is to pay?" "Fifty cents." "Mr Spooner banded him over a fifty cent scrip, and then, in u hesitating way, drew the cork. He placed tho bottle to bis lips and tasted just a drop, to test the quality ot tbe liquor. Ho did this twice, and tho expression of his face was one of hesitation and doubt. "Mr Amber," bo said, "I'm getting this tor my wits. Is this the very best you have I "Uh I you want it lor medicine T "Yes, cortainly," "II that is tho caso " The sentenoe was finished with a smile, and rsaohiog, forth for the bottle. Down into tbe cellar went tho store-keeper again. There was no need that he should empty the bottlo and refill it, for he bad but ono solitary barrel from which to draw, so be took a turn around and soon camo back wiping tho bottlo afresh. "I shall have to charge you olghty-seven cents tor this, Mr opooBer," Having paid the extra ebareo with tbe utmost cheerfulness, Mr Spooner plaoed the bottlo again to his lips and tasted critically, "Ah I" ha muttered, with a bright smile and gracelul nod, "this Is something like" And bo went sway entirely satisfied. And Mr Amber, also, notwithstanding the fraud be bad perpetrated, appeared to be satisheJ if one might judge from tho quiot smile tbat illuminated bis rubicund yuge.

"So you havrj flbiehrd your studies at the Seminary 7 I was mnoh pleased with tho closing exercises, The author ot that poem Miss White, I think) you called her bids fair to become known as a poet." "We think theauth6resa will become cele brated as a poetess," remarked the young tdy, pertly, with a marked emphasis on two words of the seqtenco, t'Oh.l-a 1" replied tho old seotloman, looking thoughtfully over his spectacle at tbo young lady. "1 hear her sister wss quite an actress, and Undor Miss Hosmor's instructions will undoubtedly beoome quito a sculptoress." Tho young lady appeared irritated. "The seminary,'' continued tho old gentle man, with imperturbable gravity, "is fortu nate In having an efficient board of mana geresses.' I' rem tbo prcsideutrcss down to the bumblest teaohress, unusual talent is Shown. Thoro is Miss Harper, who as a ehomistress Is uncqualed, and Mrs Knonloi has already a reputation as an astronomercss. And in the department of music few can equal Miss Kellogg as a singcress." The young lady did not appear to like the chair she was sitting on. She took the sofa at the other end of tho room. "Yes," continued tho old gentleman, as If talking to bimselt, "those White sisters ore very" talented. Mary, I understand, has turned her attention to caintine- and the Jl 1.. .. urauia, anu win sureiy oecomo lamous as a pamteress, and oven as a leoturcss." A loud slamming ot tho door caused the Old gentleman to look up, and the crltlocss and grammaritness was gone. A Chapter on Manners. It is a sign of bad manners to look over. the shoulders of a person who is writing, to sco what is written. It is bad manners to ocennv a sost while other pooplo stand around without ono. It is bad manners to go into any person's house without takins ofl vour hat. It is bad manners to uso profane languago in ino presence oi decent company. It is bad manners to uso your own kmfo on ino nutter dish. It is bad manners to co into auv person's house with mud or dirt on your shoes. it is had manners to talk in company when others are talking, or to talk or whis per in church. It is bad manners to talk in company to one or two persons about somo subject which the others do not understand. It is bad maimers to stare at strangers in company or in the street. T. !- . ..T . iv ii uuu iiiauucrs to say "xcs or "no to. a stranger, or to your parents, or to aged peoplo ; let it bo "Yes, sir." and "No, sir." It is bad manners to pick your teeth at tho table, and bad manners to pick them with a pin in any company. It is bad manners to comb your hair and t L .1 urusu your coat iu ino eating room. It is a sign of low breeding to mako a dis play of your finery, or equipage it is bad manners to boast of your wealth or prosperity or good fortune iu thq presence ot tbe poor or those less tortunato.than you are, it is vulgar to talk much about yourself. A Too Gallant Conductor. Conductor 11 is always very pollto to the .ladies. AH conductors aro polite to ladies, particularly so provided they are young anu nauusoino. juiss U was handed on board at the station as carefully as though sho was "glass to bo handled with care. An oxtra scat was turned over on ino snauy siuo oi the car, and tbo con ductor t eok a scat by her side to do tho agreeable, having met Miss C on tho train before. Presently, as matters were going along nicely, an old man in his shirt- sleoycs Half 'three himself into the seat in front, wbOh Ihoconductoi1 had.uhlocked and turned over tor thq benefit of tho parlies moro immouiateiy couceruod. Mr Jl- spoko up sharply : "Uo away from herel" Hut tho old man didn't go. Conductor says still more sharply : '"Go away, or I'll mako vou I" nut still no go, while a vacant, provoking smile sat apon the, face of tbo intruder. Whereupon Conductor 13 grasped tho old fanner by tho dape of thu neck. At tho samo timo tho young lady grasped tho arm of tbe conductor, exclaiming ; 'Please don't Mr 11 . This is mv bther!" Lvor since Conductor 15 alwava asks young ladies if they aro traveling alone. Oetoier. Mother with Sleepless Babe. Tho Herald ef Health contains tho foilovre ing question and answer : How is a mother with a restless babe to obtain that sleop you advise? 1 havo not slept more than four hours a night for the past year. I am losing flesh and am nearly broken down. Ans. Plnd out the camo of tho sleepless ness of tbo-babc, and rcmovo it. If you cannot do this, then get somo ono to help you and take your sleep. If you dou't the conseqiiciix-s trill bo serious. No doubt tho child has been wrongly managed iu eomo way. Young babies ought to paw the first months of their lives in tho' country, for its stillness no less than its fresh air. Hut where silence is not to bd commanded, baby may bo soothed by folding a soft napkin wet with warmish water lightly oyer tho top of its head, its eyes and cars. It Is the best way to put nervous babies asleep ; we havo tried it hundreds of times. A fino towel would bo wet apd laid over its head, tho ends twisted1 a littlo till it mado a sort of skull-csp, and though baby sometimes fought against being blindfolded In (his way, five minutes usually sent him off ioto deep aqd blissful slumber. Tho compress cooled tho littlo feverish brain, deadened ,souud in his cars, and shut out everything that took his atteutiou, so tbat sleop took him unaware, Teething babies find this very com Ibr ting j for their heads are always hot, and thcro is fever bcatiog in tho arteries each side, - . Idleness, Many young peoplo think that au idle life must be a pleasant ono'; but tbcro are nono who enjoy so little, and aro such burdens to themselves, as thoso who have nothing to do, Thoso who are obliged to work hard all day enjoy their short period of rest and, recreation sO much that they aro apt to think if their whole lives wero spent in rest aud rearcatiou, it would bo, the. most pleasant of al. Hut this is a sad mistake, as thoy would soou find out If they' mado a trial of tho lifo tboy think so agreeable Ono who is noyor busy can never enjoy rest, for rest implies a relief from provious laberj and if'our whojo timo wero spont in amusing ourBoIvcs, wo should find it moro wearisomo thau tho hardest day's work. Recreation is only val uable as it unbinds us : the idle know it not. Many people leave off business, and set tle down to a lifa of eoloytneutj but thoy generally find that they aro not nearly so happy as thoy were before, hud are often glad to return t6 their old occupations to escape tho miseries of indolence. , -e-41. - ('Job Printing!'1 exclaimed an old lady, tho Other day, as the peeped over her spec tacles at tbe advertising page of a news paper.
