"Dorothy Dorothy Waldo!" scream ed Alias Lorinda Cross ("cross by name and cross by nature," the chil dren yes. and many of the grown-ups of the neighborhood declared ber). as she pounced upon the huge loaf of bread which sb had taken from the oven and put into '.' big stone crock only half an hour ago, just before she turned her straight-up-and-down back on the kitchen, to stalk to the garret after "that idle hussy. Molly1' the maid-of-all-work " w"ho had been twice as long as she ought to have been making- the beds there. I said the huge loaf. I should have aid half the Tiuge loaf, far only that proportion of the newly-baked bread remained. " Dor-o-thy Wal-do-o-o! " again screamed Miss Cross, in an ascending scale, with an ominous tremolo on the last note. " Yes, aunt," replied a sweet, fresh young voice; and a pretty young girl came in from the garden with a basket of cherry-red currants in her hand. A tinv thing she was, with round, dimpled, rosy face, innocent child-like blue-gray eyes, and fair hair, some short tresses of which had escaped from the braid into which they had been bound, and were making a delightful use of their freedom by curling in tho most charming manner about the low frank brow and little pink-tipped ears. About' sweet sixteen," a stranger would have pronounced her; but Dolly, as her youthful companions, much to the disgust of her aunt Lorinda, called her, was older than that by a year and a half. An orphan at the age of twelve, she had been left to the care of the only relative she knew, her mother's elder sister a woman hard in speech and manners, and anything but soft in heart. This maiden lady soured irrev ocably on her twenty-fourth birthday, which shoold have also been her wed ding day; but at the very moment she was fastening the orange blossoms in her hair had come the news that her betrothed had eloped with the girl friend she had chosen for her ' b rale maid. Lorinda tore the bridal wreath into fragments, and scattered it to the winds; never mentioned the false pair from that hoar, banished forever all the womanly grace and tenderness she had . ever possessed (truth to tell, she had never possessed much), and became the hardest worker of her sex that ever worked upon a farm. In a man's boots, coat and hat, early and late, hot or cold, wet or dry, with set mouth, lowering brow and silent lips, she toiled side by side with her sturdy old father, until the day he was struck down by the pitiless sun, and died a few hours after died just in time to be saved the pang of hearing that his youngest and favorite daugh ter was lying at the point of death, widowed and friendless, in a far-away city. Lorinda buried her father if ahe wept for him, none saw her pro moted a man who had been long in bis employment to the position she used herself to occupy, and started for her sister's bedside. When she returned to Fernville again, she brought dear little, fair-haired, solt-eyed Dorothy with her, and some of her neighbors fancied that since that time she had been a shade less stern; but if she had been, it was so slight a shade that it was almost impossible to perceive it. True, she did less out-of-door work, and devoted part of the time thus saved to teaching her niece to sew, and eook, and churn, and other like accomplish ments; but never were the lessons ac companied by an approving smile or kindly word, much less a loving kiss. Even to the gentle, winning child, Lo rinda Cross remained a cold, stern woman. But Dorothy, God bless her! was so sunny in disposition that the tern ways and dark face of her aunt could not cloud her young life. And though shut out from that inflexible woman's heart, she found the doors of all other hearts wide open to her. The dogs, the cats, the hens, the chickens, the horses, the cows, the calves, the very geese, regarded her with adora tion. The farm laborers blessed her pretty face whenever she came among them; and as for Molly poor, hard worked Mollv! she would have kissed the ground tfie little feet trod upon. What wonder, then, that Dan How ell, the young surveyor, who lived half a mile away, in the old stone cottage, and whom she had known from the very first day of her arrival in Fern ville (when he, then a tall, bright-faced boy of fifteen, passing her aunt's gate, and seeing the sad-looking little girl in her black dress, standing by it, si lently offered her the prettiest white rabbit she had ever seen a rabbit he had been coaxing Abner Brown for a month past to sell him, and which now he parted with without another thought, at sight of those lovely tear ful eyes and that sweet wistful face) what wonder, I say, that he "thought of he by day, and dreamed of her by night r But to go back. Dorothy came smil ing into the kitchen, her lips and cheeks as red as the currants she carried; bnt the smile faded away when she met her aunt's irate gaze. " Did vou cut this loaf and leave it here in this hot room to dry to a chip?" demanded Miss Cross; and then she added, emphatically, without waiting for an answer: But of course you diC No one else would have dared to do it. And how dared tow, knowing that I never allow bread to be cut in my house until it is at least a day old?" " I am very sorry, aunt," began Dollv: "but he looked so hunerv?" Her screamed her aunt, regard ing her with a look of horror. " Yon gave it away then! And to a 'he'! A tramp, I've no doubt, who will come back some night, rob the house, and murder us all. Please, aunt." entreated the young girj, "don't be so angry. He wasn't a tramp; indeed be wain t; but a hand some young fellow with long golden hair rt "A wig," suarled Mi.is Cross. " and the most beautiful blue eyvs," Dolly went on, " I ever saw in all my life. And ho wasn't near the. house. And he didn't ask for anything. Oh. do listen, aunt, while ItelLyou all about kit. I was on my knm-s in the path. pickiiig tip some currants I had let fall, wjicn I saw him, through tho hole in the lutdge Brownie's calf iu:nlo the other dav. coiniueT slowly up the 1 lane" " If you had been looking at what you were doing', you wouldn t have seen him," said iter grim listener. " He didn't see me, of oourso," said Dolly, "orlshouldu't havelookedat Iilra so intently. Ami. oh. Aunt Lorinda, it was just like looking at a picture!" Stutl!" said Miss Cross. " He was so handsome, ami so dusty, and so shabby, poor fellow! And lie sat down under tho old tree, took a crust of bread out of his pocket, and began to eat it as though he was very, very hungry. That went to my heart." 'Rubbish!" said her aunt. "And I got up softly, and ran into the house, and cut a slieo " " A slice! Great grief." interrupted Aunt Lorinda. "A piece big enough for the breakfast of a whole family." " And I butrered it." " You buttered it?" Yes, aunt; I only took the butter that was left in the dish." " Half a pound! You go without but ter for a week." " And 1 ran out again, and into the lane, as fast as I could," continued Dorothy, apparently undismayed by this threat, "for fear I might lose cour age; and stopping suddenly before him, 1 put the bread in his hand, anil said, I am so sorry for you!" and turned to run awav, when he seized my hand, and kissed it" (Miss Lorinda Cross became rigid as marble), "and said, 'These are the tirst kind words I've heard since I came to this beastly country. Tell me your name, little one.' Dorothy Wal do,' said I. Dorothy Waldo,' he re peated; I shall never forget it;' and he raised his hat and went away. Dear aunt, had vou been in mv olace. would you not have done as I did?" "if" cried Aunt ionnoa "i carcy meals to strange men on the publie highway? I let a foreigner who called my country a beastly country' kiss my hand? No, indeed; he never would have kissed my hand." . " Perhaps not," said Dolly, with a momentary twinkle in her eyes; and then she added, pleadingly, "Hut don't be angry any longer, aunt. 1U raaKe another loaf of bread right away." "But that won't bring back what you've wasted," said her inflexible rel ative. " A pretty wife you'd be for a man who hasn't a dollar to call his own. giving away bread by the loaf and but ter ny toe pound ' (Miss cross naa re tained at least one womanly trait a slight tendency to exaggeration) " to all the thieves and tramps who happen to come along." "Oh, aunt!' exclaimed her niece; " be looked like a prince." "A prince!" with a snort of scorn. "Your head is turned by that trashy poetry you read. A prince! A likely story in shabby clothes, and nibbling crust! A disguised burglar, in my opinion. But burglar or no burglar. she continued, it must be confessed with some irrelevancy, "you shall never marry a man who hasn't a dollar to call his own, with my consent, and if ever you marry without ruj consent, you make a liar of your mother in her grave. "Aunt, I have told you arrain and again," said Dorothy, firmly but gently. "that 1 never would, i have not for gotten my mother's last commands." men don t bo encouraging that Daniel Howell to meet yon every tack and turn; and if you must have some one to walk home from church with you 1 can go and come myself, thank Heaven! there's Abner Brown, and he has a thousand dollars in the bank." "But, aunt, I've known Dan so Ions:, and he is away so much, that wben he is at home I feel as though I mean. I wouldn t like to hurt his leelings." "Bahr retorted me gnni maiden. Men have no feelings. And as for knowing him a longtime, I think you've known him quite long enough." "But u he had the thousand dollars, instead of Abner Brown?" questioned Dollv, with more spirit than she had yet shown. " 1 hat would he in his lavor, certainly. But he hasn't, and never will have, with that old father and mother depend ing upon him. A thousand dollars, indeed! Where would he set it? The sooner you forget Daniel Howell, and tne sooner uaniei noweu puts you out of his head, the better." "There s no need for you to talk so loud, aunt," said the little girl, in dignantly: and then, startled by the look of malicious triumph on her aunt's face, Dorothy looked around, just in time to receive a farewell bow from Daniel Howell as he turned from the door. "He beard me," said Miss Cross. "I'm glad he did; t'will save trouble." " Oh, Aunt Lorinda. how can you be so cruel?" said poor Dolly, bursting into tears. A year and a half passed away, dur ing which, owing to his frequent ab sences and Miss Lorinda's watshful care, Dolly and her lover had met but three or four times. " It's hard," said the young man, on the last of these oc casions, " to know that I cannot ask your aunt for your hand because I have not a thousand dollars of my own, when I know that there is plenty of room and love and everything for you at the old stone cottage. Oh, Dolly, if you would but brave her anger, how gladly I'd make you my wife this mo ment !" "Dan," interrupted the girl, with dewy eyes, " it isn't her anger, though I feel that it would be most ungrateful in me to provoke it but the promise my mother made for me on her death bed. And if it had not been for that promise, Dan, you must remember, I should have been the inmate of an or phan asylum, and we would never have met." Adding, the sunshine coming back again, " Don't you see how much worse things could have been ?" " You are right, my darling, as you always are," sard Dan ; " but think it may be years before I have ' the bond.' " "I can wait, Dan. Yes" with a mischievous little laugh " I can wait until I am as old as Aunt Lorinda." "God forbid, love !" he said, catch ing her in his arms and kissing her sweet lips. "And now good-by; I am going away again to-morrow, to be gone I cannot tell you how long. 'Oh. Dolly, Heaven speed the time when a little wife shall be waiting with the old father and mother at the stone cottage to welcome me home !" She raised herself on tiptoe, clasped his face between her two tiny hands, gazeil into his eyes with a wealth of tenderness in her own, and said, "Who knows? Good fortune may at this very moment be on its way to us." And tho very next day, January 3, 1880, as Dorothy, with a crimson shawl thrown over hor head, was out in the garden scattering crumbs on the snow for the sparrows, she heard the jingle of sleigh-bells, and Farmer Beers came down the lane with a sled-load of wood. "Mornin', Mjss Dorothy," he called, as he reined up at the back gate. " Here's a letter for you. They thought it might be important, at the office, and so, knowin' how keerful I be, and that I was coniiif this way, they asked me to fetch it to you." And uio old man tossed the letter over the hedge, into the girl's outstretched hands, and drove off. "A letter for me!" said Dolly, In tones of the greatest aiiijy.eiupnt. " Whv, 1 never received a letter before in all my life!" Then she turned it about, and inspected it curiously. The envelope was a eoiunion larre yellow one. and bore the printed address of a law firm in mi adjoining city, as well as her own address written in a plain lciil hand. " Who ran it be from?" wondered Dolly; and then opened it, to find her question but partly answered. A sheet of blue paper and a smaller envelope were inclosed. The paper contained, in the same hand which had addressed the letter, these lines: " Miss Porotlii Waldo: " I1KAK M aoam We send you tho nrroin panvintr chM'k ill eomplimuie with or-lers re cfU'cd to thai oAcft from a client in Kuropn whose interests in ihi country wo represent. I'W-ase acknowlcdLT" reeript. 'Your obedient servnnts, "FiNU .V- 1'IHIVB. " January 1. lssu." Dolly's lovely eyes opened to their widest extent. "A chock!" sho ex claimed, and with trembling lingers tore open the second envelope, which was also addressed to her, but in a dif ferent, more elegant hand; and sure enough there was a check a check for a thousand dollar, payable to ihe order of Miss Dorothy Waldo. And on a slip of paper which had kept it coni tvny were these words: "In payment for a slice a very large slice of bread and butter." And that's all the young girl ever knew about it. For one moment site stood dazed with joy and astonishment. The next she thought of Dan. Perhaps he had not started yet. How could she get to him through" the deep snow? Sleigh-bells again. Farmer Beers coming back without the wood. She ran out into the lane. 'Oh, do take me with you!" she cried, to the great surprise of the honest old fellow. "I must see Dam Mr. Howell, I mean. I must see him as soon as possible." "Jump right in. my dear," said the old man, " and I' II have you at the stone cottage in a jiffy." Away they went, the gray mare mak ing excellent time for her; and as they neareil the house, Dolly caught sight of Dan just leaving it. "Dan! Dan!" she called, her clear young voice ringing on the cold air, and madly waved her crimson shawl. Dan turned, saw the bright flag and her sweet face below it, and came bounding over the snow in time to re ceive her in his arms as she jumped from the sled. "Yon couldn't no, not if you guessed forever," she said, half crying and half laughing "you couldn't guess what brought mo here this morn ing." " Whatever it was. Heaven bless it a thousand times !" said her lover. " It is leap-year, you know, Dan." " Yes, now I think of it, it is. But it can't be possible you have come here to propose to me?"' " Very possible, indeed," answered Dolly, slowly and deliberately. "Mr. Daniel Howell, will you marry me?" "Mr. Daniel Howell's" only reply was to fold her in so close an embrace that, being the tiniest of maidens, she almost disappeared from view. "And has Miss Cross " he began, when the pretty blushing face, all dimpled with smiles, was again raised to his own. " Xo, she has not," interrupted DI ly. " She knows nothing about it- But it's all right, Dan," carefully tucking something with her dainty left hand Dan held the right into tho breast pocket of his overcoat. " You may come and see Aunt Iorinda as soon as you choose. You didn't know it, Dan dear, but you've got a thousand dol lars." Harper's Weekly. So-Called Founder. In the beginning of tho disease re move the shoes, and rasp down the heels and edges around the hoof, so that the bearing of the animal's weight comes entirely on the sole and frog; then place the forefeet in a tub of warm water during half an hour, and repeat this three or four times daily during two days; thereafter apply hog's lard or some softening ointment to the feet daily. Leave the animal without shoes in a roomy box stall or comfortable shed, with plenty of bedding. To keep such an animal tied up in a stall with inclining or sloping floor is objec tionable; he must have liberty to fre quently change his position, which can not be afforded in a single stall. As soon as the shoes have been re moved and the feet pared as directed, the horse should be given a laxative dose of medicine; for which purpose dissolve from one to one and a half pounds of Glauber's salts in a quart of hot water, adding to the solution an ounce of ground ginger, and give the whole in one dose; then give every hour, during six hours, ten to fifteen drops of tincture of aconite; afterward, during two or three days, give, morn ing, noon and eveniug, each times four ounces of solution of acetate of am monia, with an ounce of sweet spirit of niter, in a half pint of cold water. If, after three or four days, much pain and tenderness should remain, a fly blister may be ap4ied round the coronet, to a space of three lingers' width. The horse should be tied so as to prevent his interfering with the blister (by rubbing it with his mouth), during six hours after the applicatioa of the blister. From the beginning he should be kept quiet, in a comfortable, well ven tilated place, and be well blanketed to excite perspiration. The food, which should only be given in limited quantity, should be of a loosening nature, such as a mixture of steamed oats, bran aud flaxseed mealj .together with only very little hay, which should not be timothy. When the urgent symptoms have dis appeared, the horse should be given liberty in tho barnyard during day time, when weather permits, and dur ing summer bo placed on pasture. National Live Block Journal. Keep and Utilize the Best. If any one is entitled to the best it is the farmer. He should not only keep the breod from the best domestic ani mals, but he ought to retain and use the choicest of everything produced on the farm. The man who sells the best of his produce, and lives on what is in ferior, is neither wise nor economical. It is said that the late Eilwin Hammond, of Middlebury, Vt., the noted sheep breeder, would let no man cull from his flock. His best sheep he never sold. If you get a good thing, keep it, get tho good of it, improve it, multiply it, make it a part of home, part of life. A tree takes the deepest root in the richest, deepest soil. A mail's life consists jn what he uses and enjoys and takes up into himself. A man is worth what he spends and what ho does, rather than what he locks up. Cliristian at Work. . If taken internally with their food, sulphur will almost invariably keep all kinds of animals free from lice. We have made a practice for years past of giving a heaping tablespoonful once a week in the feed of each of our cows, and the same quantity to about every ten hens in our flock, and they have never been troubled with lice iu them. It may be given in the same proportion as to size when required in the food of poultry, pigs and sheep. Sulphur is a mild cathartic when desired for this Kurpose, ami in small doses seems to ave a general beneficial e fleet on the animal system, something like salt, though, of course, not of that nature. Exchange A Philadelphia servant girl who was washing windows spattered some water on a pedestrian. Sho apologized, he smiled, and in four weeks they were married. He turned out to bo worth 200,000. USEFUL AMI SL'UMESTIVE. Only manure in a soluble condition should be used on rapidly-growing plants like early veg4 shies. Kven grass and all sowed crops will grow much faster when the manure is well rotted. Fertilizers are never bene ficial to any crop until they are de composed. It is a good plan occasionally to seed down a garden to grass and choose a new plot of ground. When the weeds are kept down and none allowed to grow to seed, it may not be neces sary, but even then vegetables grown on land constantly in use are not so sweet and tender as when planted on land that has not been disturbed by the plow year after year. The best soil for sweet potatoes is a sandy loam. Jf sand largely predom inates they will flourish if well manured. New ground or virgin soil is especially favorable for this crop, it is the com mon practice to sow buckwheat on new land lor the lirst crop and then to plant sweet potatoes for the second. An abundant crop is the general result. In a heavy loam the vines grow luxuriant ly, but the tubers are generally small, rooty and of inferior quality. In clayey soil sweet potatoes will not thrive. Planting in Orchards. There is a general reluctance to give up the soil of the orchard entirely to the trees. While the orchard is young it is best to culti vate it thoroughly, and hoed crops, like potatoes, roots, etc., can be grown as a present pay for the trouble, but as the trees get older and shade the ground, nothing else but fruit should be expected from the orchard. It is a good practice to pasture hogs in the orchard in clover sown for the pur pose, as it is one of tho best methods of enriching the soil and at the same time destroying insects. Spiced Beef. Take a piece of beef flat ribs or brisket and remove the bones with a sharp knife. Mix togeth er with a little water one teaspoouful of mustard, one of salt, one of powdered eclerv seed, and a small quantity of mace and allspice. Spread the mixture over the beef where the bones have been removed, roll up tight, sew -in a cloth, and place in boiling water. Boil with the meat four onions, two of them with a clove stuck in each, one carrot and a small bunch of sweet herbs. A piece of meat from six to eight pounds' weight, will require boiling from three to four hours, according to thickness. It is better to leave the cloth on until the meat is quite cold. It is intendod to be eaten cold. One Loaf of Graham Bread. Three tablestioonf uls of sweet milk, two tablcspoonfuls of boiling water, one fourth of a cake compressed yeast. Mix with a spoon, stiff, with white flour; cover, and put in a warm place to pise over night, (this is the sponge); in the morning add a quarter of a cupful of milk, warmed by two tablespoonfuls of boiling water, one-third of a teaspoon ful of salt, one-third of a cupful of mo lasses, one-third of a cupful of melted butter; mix with a spoon to a stiff bat ter with Graham flour; beat well; butter a bread-pan, pour in the mixture, and place in a warm position to rise until nearly to the top of the pan ; bake one hour in a moderate oven. When done, roll in a clean towel, with a blanket outside, until cold. To Destroy Sheep Ticks. Dip each animal in a wash made by steeping four pounds of tobacco stems in twenty gal lons of water, and then adding to the mixture one pound of sulphur. The water should be kept just below the boiling point while the tobacco is steep ing. The sulphur is to be added after the liquor is cooled. The temperature of the wash should be kept at about 120 dcg. Fahr. while the animals are being dipped. A large trough or half hogslicad will be needed for holding the liquor, and an inclined platform slieuld be placed near the vat, on which the sheep can stand while the surplus wash drains back into the tub or vat. Two applications, ten days apart, will thoroughly rid a flock, not only of ticks, but of any other insects which may in fest it. . e e " Sheep Rut,' For some time a great mortality has prevailed among sheep, and the de struction reported is something appal ling. The malady is popularly known by a very old Saxon name, " rot," and is in reality due to the presence in the liver and hepatic canals of numbers of the Distoma heaticun, a trematode entozoon, as well as the Distoma lancco latum, also a member of the same order. These entozoa, from their resemblance to the fish called " flukes." have re ceived tho same name, and have a par ticular predilection for the biliary apparatus, whose function they more or less destroy, and thus lead to the slow death of the sheep or other animals they may infest. After wet seasons, animals which have been pastured on tainted land are certain to suffer, from their having iugested with the herbage tho ova of the Distoma. Pastures are tainted by " fluke" infested sheep, which pass the mature worms or their ova with the fieces, and these lodge on or are washed into the. ground. The worms, of course, die, and the ova with in them are liberated; and these, to gether with the free ova, appear to have not only a strong vital resistance to meteorological alternations, but also the good fortune to find a ready and acceptable intermediary, host in the Limntrus minutus, a litrlo mud snail common everywhere, and particu larly on wet land. This snail becomes possessed of a number of ova in its interior, and during damp weather it crawls from its breeding-place in the ground up the stalks of grass aud herb age, and is swallowed by the sheep or other herbivorous animals when they are grazing. Received at first into the stomach, the ova undergo partial devel opment, aud then lind their way into the biliary canals. If their number is considerable, when they have attained their full growth they dilate and ob struct theso canals the walls of which become considerably thickened. Dur ing their development the secretion of bile becomes gradually diminished, and that fluid is viscid, like mucus, and al tered in color; at the same time the parenchyma of the liver becomes atro phied frm the compression the " flukes" exercise upon it, and it may even become disorganized. Hence re sult icterus, disturbance in nutrition, anaemia, dropsy, and ageneral cachectic condition. Sheep are not the only victims which sutler from tho Distoma, for during the present mortality hares, rabbits, deer and horses are said to have become in fested, and died. Tho Dislotna hepati oiim has long been known to exist in the horse and ass, when they were al lowed to pasture on unclean land during wet seasons. Salt appears to be an excellent and well known prophylactic agent, and even a curative one when the disease has not made much progress. This beuelicial action of sodium chloride has been known almost from time imme morial, and the freedom from "rot" of sheep which have been pastured on salt marshes has been also recognized for centuries. The flesh of sheep which have been affected with this verminous disease cannot be said to bo positively danger ous as food, though it must be greatly reduced in nutritive properties, as well as iu quality. The human being may receive and harbor the Distoma, a fact worthy of remembrance. The present mortality is likely to render sheep scarce and expensive in thiscotintry for some time, and still further darken the prospects of our agriculturists. Lancet. Western Tornados. That those people who have never experienced or witnessed the effects of a genuine Western tornado have a very poor idea of its force and character, is witnessed by the fact that so well in formed a journal as the New York Triliune suggests that ' buildings could doubtless be erected strong enough to withstand these fearful wind tempests." The fact is that the force developed by these Western cyclones is utterly irre sistible. " When boulders weighing hundredsof pounds," says tho St. Louis Republican, ' can be literally snatched out of the ground, where they have lain for unnumbered centuries, and flung into the air as if projected from a cata pult, it is hardly worth while talking about fortifying against tho mysterious enemy." l'ake the recent Marshfiold cyclone for instance; its force was in calculable ; and had a stone building with walls three feet thick and bolted with iron stood in the way, it would have gone down like a house of cards. It has been often enough demonstrated- that the safest place of refuge from the fury of one of these storms is the celler of a frame house, for frame houses are usu ally carried off bodily, leaving the in mates of the cellar unharmed, while brick houses totter and fall, the inmates of the cellar being crushed and buried in the debris. The prevalent idea is that the force of a cyclone is gained by sweeping over the prairies, and that their force is due to nothing but the wind. This, according to people who have both witnessed and experienced them, is not a correct idea, for their ef fects can be accounted for only on the theory that electricity has much to do with them. One man who has had a somewhat extensive acquaintance with Missouri and Kansas cyclones, says: They strike as suddenly as the light ning, and the vegetation is often scorched and withered as though fire had passed over it." Boston Poet. An anecdote is told of a physician who was called to a foreign family to prescribe for a case of inoipient con sumption. He gave them a prescrip tion for pills, and wrote the direction : " One pill to be taken three times a day, in any convenient vehicle." The family looked in the dictionary to get at the meaning of the prescription. They got on well until they got to the word ve hicle. They found 44 cart, wagon, car riage, buggy, wheelborrow. After grave consideration they came to the conclusion that the doctor meant the patient should ride out, and while in the vehicle he should take the pill. He followed the advice to the letter, and in a few weeks the fresh air and exercise secured the advantage which otherwise might not have come. Miss Mary Houser, of Fort Wayne, who recently eloped with a carpet-layer, whom she had seen for the first time but a few hours previously, has returned to her father's home, having acquired an experience which should servo a life time. She went to St. Louis with her lover, where they were married. After a honeymoon lasting three or four days, the husband, sending his confiding vic tim from their boarding-house on a fictitious errand, pocketed her jewelry and what little money she had, and de parted, leaving no indication of his des tination. The poor girl had to pawn her remaining trinkets to obtain money to return home. The preacher was talking to the Sunday-school about the power of reli gion, and tho devotion of the zealous to the cause and their attendance upon the services. Finally he asked if there was any thing to which people would go twice every Sunday and through the week as they did to church, when a small boy with a twisted tongue on the front seat spoke out : " Yeth, thir, a thircus would ketch 'em every pop if they could git in free, like they do to ohurch." The preacher thought it was tim.3 to sing. When cremation becomes fashion able the New Orleans Picayune looks forward to the time when a man can have his ancestors put up in cans and shipped to any part of the world. When that blessed time arrives we may ex pect to receive such letters as the fol lowing : ' Dear E. I have to-day forwarded to you per express poor dear Uncle John and little Billy.

A few years ago the State's Attor ney in a northern county in Vermont, although a man of great legal ability, was very fond of the bottle. On one occasion an important criminal case was called on by the clerk, but the attorney, with owl-like gravity, kept his chair. " Mr. Attorney, is the State ready to proceed ?" said tho Judge. "Yes hie no your Honor," stammered the lawyer ; " the State is not in a state to try this case, to-day ; the State, your Honor, is drunk!" "Oh, I've seen George," cried a little girl at Cleveland ; " he came and leaned over me at the piano." George was a boy who had recently died. The mother, hearing the words, fell dead from heart disease. THE MARKETS. NEW YORK, CATTLE Native Steers. 81IKK1' Clipped COTTON" Middliiur FI.OUK Uood to Choice WHEAT Red, So. i!
