MARY ELIZABETH. J t t Mary Elizabeth was a little girl with J] a long name. She was poor, she was g sick, she was ragged, she was dirtv, she s ~..!J _l. _ I ?!./? in-oc w ild Wiu, sue W?13 UUUUlJt out n a.3 frightened. She had no home, she had i: no mother, she had no father, she" had f] no sister, she had no grandmother, she d had no kitten. She had no supper, she had no dinner, she had had no break- a fast. She had no ihors, she had no a hood, she had no mittens, she had no p flannels. She had no place to go to, and e nobody to care whether she went or not. v In fact, Mary Elizabeth had not much si of anything but a short pink calico dress, a li ttie red cotton and wool shawl, c and hereon? name. Besides this she t] had a nair of old rubbers, too large for n her. Thev flopped on the pavement as a she walked. fj She w.?.s walking up Washington li street in Boston. It was late in tha ri afternoon of a bitter .January day. A1-. n ready the lauip-lighters were coming y wun uieir long poies, ana gasngnts oe- g sran to iash upon the grayness?neither day nor night?through which the child p watched the people movin? dimly, with jj a wonder in her heart. This wonder a was as confused as the half-light in which the crowd hurried by. " God made so many people," thought C( Mary Elizabeth, "he must have made v; so many suppers. Sernr.3 as if they s oucht to been one for one extra girl." b But she thought this in a gentle way; b very gentle tor a girl who had no shoes, no flannels, no hood, no-home, no gj mother, no bed, no supper. She was a very gentle little girl. All girls who jc hadn't anything were not like Mary Elizabeth. She roomed with a eirl out V( toward Charlestown who was different. ^ That girl's nam0 was Jo. They slept ji in a box that an Irish woman let them jt have in an old shed Tlie shed was too ti cold for her cow, and she couldn't use c, it; so she told Jo and Mary Elizabeth C1 that they might have it as well as not. p; Mary Elizabeth thought lio?- very kind. There was this difference between Jo and Mary Elizabeth; when Jo was hungry *hestole; when Mary Elizabeth ^ was hungry, she begged. n One ni^-lit of which I speak, she beg- 0( g?'o nar-:. It is very wrong to beg. we g all kn- w. It is wrong to give to beg- ^ gars, we all know, too; we have been n, told so a great many times. Still, if I fl had been as hungry as Mary Elizabeth, I presume I should have begged, too. Whether I should have given her any- tr thing if I had been on Washington street h that January night, how can I tell? p; At any rate, nobody did. ?3orue told k her to go to the orphans' home. Some n, said: " Ask the police." Some people t] shook their heads, and more did noth- h ing at a 1. One lady told her to go to 0( the St. Priseilla and Aouila society, und r( Mary Elizabeth said: "Thank you, i\ ma'am." politely. She had never heard a of Aquila and Priseilla. She thought b hev must he policemen. Another lady jj bad e her go to an office and be registered, and Mary Elizabeth said: " Ma'am?" s\ Sonowshe was shuffling up Wash- ^ ington street?I might say flopping up q Washington street?In the old rubbers, and the pink dress and red shawl, not fc knowing exactly what to do next; peep- jj ing into people's faces, timidly looking w away from them; hesitating; heartsick ?for a very little girl can be very heartsick?colder, she thought every g minute, and hungrier each hour than r( she was the hour before. Poor Mary Elizabeth! Poor'Mary Elizabeth left Washington street at last, where everybody had ^ homes and suppers, without one extra one to spare for a;-little girl, and turned into , a short, bright, showy street, where stood a great hotel. Everybody ^ in Boston kmws, and a great many ]t, people out of Boston know, that hotel; in (aat. thov xL - T ,l .,.vai f\nKsr* lb PU W Ull LLlJlL 1 Y/lll not mention the name of it, because it was against the rules of the house for beggars to be admitted, and perhaps the proprietor would not like it if I . told how this one especial little beggar pot into his well-conducted house. Indeed, precisely how she got in nobody knows. Whether the doorkeeper was sj away or busy, or sick, or careless, or whether the head-waiter at the dining room doorwas so tall that he couldn't see so short a beggar, or whether the clerk at the desk was so noisy that he couldn't see so still a s.eggar, or however it was. Mary Elizabeth did get in ?by the doorkeeper, past the headwaiter, under the shadow of the clerk -?over tli" smooth slippery marble floor. The child crept on. She came to the office door, and stood still. She looked around with her wide eyes. She ql had never seen a place like that. Genlleraen sat in it smoking and reading. They were ali warm. Not one of them looked as if he had had no dinner, and no breakfast, and no supper- a(j "How many extra suppere," thought pe the little girl, "it must ha' taken to feed'em all." She pronounced it "extry." " How many extry suppers. I t?guess maybe there'll be one tor me in here." There was a little noise, a very little or one. strange to the warm, bright, well- j>j ordered room. It was not the rattling of the Boston Advertiser, or the Trari- j script; or the Post; it was not the slight gv rap-rapping of a cigar stumn. as t.hf> rustics Jell from some one's white hand; so nohody coughed, nobody swore. It wa> .* diiFerent sound. It was the aT1 sound of an oid rubber, much too large, 'ar flopping on the marble floor. Several un gentlemen glanced at their own well- ^ shod and well-brushed feet, then up and around the room. , Mary Elizabeth stood in the middle of it, in her pink calico dress, and the j1(i rod-plaid shawl was tied over her head m, :ind about her neck with a ragged tip pet. She looked very funny and round behind like the wooden woman in si Noah's ark. Her bare feet showed in the old rubbers. She began to shuffle jj< about the room, holding cui one purple little hnnd. pi One or two of the gentlemen laughed , yr some frowned; more did nothing at w all; most did not notice, or did not n< 6eern to notice, the child. One said: " What's the matter hee.i?" in Mary Elizabeth flopped on. She oi went trom one to another, less timidly; ki a kind of desperation had taken posses- SI sion of her. The odors of 'he riininc room came in, of strong, h< . . ffee, and E strange, roast meats. "Mary Elizabeth A thought of Jo. Tt seemed to her sue O wa3 so hungry, that if she could not get a supper she should jump up and run, tli and rush about, and snatch something, gi and steal like Jo. She held out her si; hand, but only said: i pc -I'm hungry!" A gentleman called her. He was the " gentleman who had asked " What's the matter here?" He called her in behind h) his New York paper, which was big ki enouc;n ro nine uiree JiKe Mary -Elizas pi both, and when he saw that nobody ail was looking he gave her a five-cent pi piece, in a hurry, as if he had done a m sin, and quiekiy said: w "There, there, child! so, now, go!" Then lie began to read the paper quite to hard and fast, and to look severe as one S< gees who never give3 anything to beg- w pars ,as a matter of principle. But nobody gave anything else to cur Lary Elizabeth. She shuffled from qui ie to another hopelessly."Every gentleian shook his head. One called for a j toe aiter to put her out. This frightened an< er and she stood still. euj Over by a window, in a lonely corner ca^ f the great room, a young man was tting, apart from the others. Mary P1!1 Ilizabeth had seen that young man ^ hen she first came in, but he had not b0n ?en her. He had not seen anything nor j . nybody. He sat with his elbows on : mi. jC table and his face buried in his ^c} rms. He was a well-dressed young . ian,|with brown, curling hair. Mary inf ilizabeth wondered whv he looked so , liserable, and why he sat alone. She ",e. loucht, perhaps, if he weren't so happy a. ; thp nrlinr ironhlpmpn hp would be C. lore sorry for cold and hungry girls. he hesitated, and then flopped along se nd directly up to him. J One or two gentlemen laid down their s ' apers and watched this: chey smiled . ' nd nodded to each other. The child id not see tuem to wonder why. She rent up and put her hand on the young Hi lan'sarm. ] Ho started.

Go away." ov " I haven't had anything to eat for a cu vliole day?a whole long day!" re- )ei leated the child. tai Her lips quivered, but she spoke dis- It inctly. Her voice sounded through an he room. One gentleman after another shi lad laid down his paper or his pipe, ieveral were watching this little ter cene. wi " (Jo away!" repeated the young man, ge rritably. "Don't bother me. I mi laven't had anything to eat for three wi ays!" th His face went down into his arms I gain. Mary Elizabeth stood staring be it the brown curling hair. She stood tre erfectly still for some moments. She of vidently was greatly puzzled. She cri ralked away a little distance, then be fl>Al1/*hf i f ATTflr tin WJHVCU auu uuuugui, ?: And now, paper after paper, pipe alter .J igar went down.

Nicholas. uts and Recipes for the Sick Ro om From an interesting paper on uim , bject in the Christian Union, by Miss R. Scovil, of the Massachusetts Genii hospital we cull the following , its and receipes: , The pure juice may be extracted from ef in two ways: First, by cutting : e meat in small pieces, putting them i a tightly corked bottle, immersing it hot water, and boiiing for several ( urs Second, by taking a thick piece < juicy steak, broiling it bn. a gridiron j er a clear lire for a few moments, then j tting it in strips and pressing it in a J non squeezer. The juice thus ob- j ned may be given either cold or hot. U/% f.vwon intn liimns. ILLliy uc liv?uu, , d given like cracked ice.

Enough isinglass or ( iatine may be added to thejuiea to , ike a jelly, which can be tlavored J th sherry, essence of celery, or any- ( ing the path nt may fancy. , Raw meat is very nutritious, and may j prepared by shredding the beef.ex- | imely fine, removing every particle , skin and fat, and mixing with cracker : iimbs. A little salt and pepper may , added, and the mixture rolled into j iy balls. In convalescence after typhoid fever j 2 greatest care is necessary with re- , rd to the food, and no article of diet , ouid be given without the express ' rmission of the doctor. Even so slight , imprudence as eating a raw apple ' s been known to cause death. ] While roast, boiled and broiled , icken, mutton chop, and beef steak ( ve long held a recognized position in ; .'invalid's bill ot fare, uie mems01 ji il 3weelbread have been sadly overiked. When properly cooked it is a licious dish, and may tempt a capri- ? >us appetite that lias grown weary of j ler viands. A sweetbread should be L'boiled for a short time until quite ? t, and then fried in a little butter to elicatebrown. It may be served with ivy or white sauce. )eiicious oatmeal gruel may be made !" stirring a cupful of oatmeal into a ?rl of water, allowing it to stand for few minutes until the coarsest paries have fallen to the bottom, pour- 5 ; off the water, and repeating this 1 ;e or twice. The water must then be * led, stirring it constantly until it is 1 Keiently cooked. 1 "ew persons understand properly the ' of making lemonade. The lemon J mid first be rolled between the hands ^ til it is quite soft, the skin removed ( ,h a sharp knife, and every pip ex- ? cted, the lemon being held over a ubler that no juice may be lost in the < .-raiion. The pulp should then be J ] ided into small pieces, and the sugar 1 roughly mixed with it.

Beard read a paper on " The j ablems of Insanity," in which he ' d: Insanity is a disease of degrees; 1 ?re is no plain dividing lino between j rity and insanity. Insanity may be rided into two kinds?intellectual in- 1 lity, embracing forms in which there ] delusions, and emotional insanity, in r lieh there are no delusions. Insanity ' i baroiheter of civilization, and as we ^ ranee in the arts and sciences so will * anity become more prevalent amont ? Intense application, brain work 1 i indoor life are the agencies which st frequently bring it about. The inlectuai activity of the women of toT is another great cause of insanity, lat the mother is, so will the child a in an intenser degree. 1 nsanity is increasing most percepti- c in Europe and America among the \ >rer classes Civilization grinds hard- p on the poor, shutting them up in t 5e houses, with b id air and poor food, s [ compelling them to struggle lor ex- 1; :nce. The brain cannot always bear E under the strain, for they have few t reations and amusements which can t indulged in for the relaxation of their c ids. A diagnosis in cases of insanity a liost difficult. The physician must s )WtliesuDjeetpsycuoiogicany; suuw c :hinks. what he thinks, and all about t general disposition, passions, etc. J i probabilities of cure in the case of n ne persons depend greatly upon the p rancement of the disease when the a itment is begun. It is better if the n ient can be treated out oi the asylum, u 1 if he is noi. conlined or isolated al- 0 ether trom the world, narcotics and p pefying remedies should not be used t! en their use can be avoided. Until a f lparatively short time our inventions -y re tended to au increase rather than q t decrease of insanity. Of late, how- r r, the inventions have been in the op- e ite direction, tending to give us more t 2 and x-est, as, for example, the tele- a ne, elevated railroad and the electric j< it. If the latter is perfected, it may t: > enable us to breathe a purer air. j| improved system of education, with ] " crammine;," would tend to reduce v increase of insanity. The eclipse of jj mind cannot be predicted like the e pse of the sun, but, with study, men ], {learn to detect it in its lirst stages, 0 . if treated early, it need rarely be- p le serious. t ' u The District Schoolmaster.

' s / , / 1 I'lBM, GARDEN AKD HOUSEHOLD. Corn C nitrite, An early start with the corn crop is i good point gained, and there is no ioubt but that the use of special fertilzers in hill or drill is of great advance provided always the soil outside iontains sufficient food to carry the >lantoDce started on to the perfection )f its growth. The best method for inducing large yields of corn, conlists in first harrowing in a liberal imount of stable manure after the ground has been plowed, or, if chemical manures are empioyed, sowing these broad ;ast and harrowing in; then in hill or drill applying some concentrated Fertilizer, as poultry manure, Peruvian guano, superphosphate or ashes and plaster. The seed, by the way, ought never to come in immediate contact with manures which are placed in the drills; a covering of earth should separate them. In soils where corn of previous season's growth has been liable to fall, a want ot salt, gypsum and ashes is indicated, and the applica'ion of these will a3sist great ly in strengthening the stalks and inducing them to keep an upright position. Tiie fact that successful'cultivators difl'er as regards the question of level and hill culture proves that both are right under certain conditions. On dry land level culture doubtless has its advantages, while wet lands produce best when the crop is planted in runs. Oorn, for big results, requires cultivation from the time {the seed eeiminates until it is in tassel. Handwork, where large areas are planted, is too costly, ind horse cultivation has 1 irgely taken its place. The distance of planting this cereal depends on the variety of seed; large growing kinds require drills three and i half to five feet apart, while small ;orn thrives well at a distance of three feet or less. The seed should not be covered too; deep; two inches is allsufficient and more than enough in mellowjground. Under present modes jf cultivation suckering is generally dispensed with. Repeated experiment has proven that suckers do not lessen the yield of the grain to any appreciible extent, and that it hardly pays to remove them, except of course from such portions of a field as seed is to be taken from. Tarring seed corn to prevent birds from pulling the young plants up in srder to obtain the kernels is practiced with good results by many farmers, rhis is, perhaps, most easily accomalished oy soaking the seed in tar water and rolling in plaster to dry it. But little tar is required for the pur Dose. One tablespoonful to a quart of :orn in sufficient water to wet the corn s enough.?New York World. Household Hints. Buttermilk is excellent for cleaning sponges. Steep the sponsre in the milk or some hours, then squeeze it out and wash it in cold water. Lemon juice is ilso good. Tea leaves, used for keeping down the lust when sweeping carpets, are apt to itain light colors; salt is best in the winter, and new mown hay in the sumner. A tablespoonful of pulverized alum iprinkled into a hogshead of water (the water stirred at the same time) will, tfter a few hours, by precipitating to ;he bottom the impure particles, so jurify it, that it will be found to pos jess nearly an me irusuncst* nuu wiw less of the finest spring water. A pailful, containing four gallons, may be thoroughly purified by a single teaipooufu1 of the alum. An exchange gives the following rejipe for a paste for cleaning knives: Vlake a mixture, one part emery and ;hree parts crocus martis. in very fine powder. Mix th^m to a thick paste with a little lard or sweet oil. Have /our knife-board covered with a thick autF leather. S pread tiiis paste on your leather to about the thickness of a luarter of a dollar. Rub your knives in it, and it will make them much sharper and brighter, and will wear ;hem out less than tlie common method jf cleaning them with brickdust on a 3are board. Preaervinfr Flowers and Fi ult. Fruit and flowers mny be preserved frnm decav and fading bv iminer sing them in a solution of gum arable ind water two or three times, waiting i sufficient time between each immersion to allow the gum to dry. This pro2ess covers the surfaces of the fruit with i thin coating of tlie gum, which is entirely impervious to the air, and thus prevents the decay of the fruit or the withering of the flower. Roses thus preserved have all the beauty of freslilyplucked ones, though they have been separated from the parent stem tor many months. To insure success in exDeriments of this kind, it should be aorne in mind that the whole surface ninth;* completely covered; lor if the lir only gets entrance at a pinhole, the labor will all be lost. In preserving specimens of fruit particular care should be taken to cover the stem, end ind all, with the gum. A good way is ,0 wind a thread of silk about the stem, ina tuen SinK it SJOWiy 111 me buxuliuii, vhich should not be so strong as to cave a particle ol the gum undissolved. Tiie gum is so perfectly transparent that ?ou can with difficulty detect its >resence, except by the touch. Here ve have another simple method of fixng the flee.ing beauty of nature. The Use of the Eyes. In areccnt work on " Eyesight?Good md Bad," by R. B. Carter, M. D., of ^ndon, the singular theory is devel?ped that a large part of the trouble vith their eyes among persons who have assed the middle age of life is due to he partial disuse of the organism of ight. Mr. Carter maintains that the teauty and efficiency of the eyes depend lot a iittie upon their healthful aua acive employment. It might be said that he use of one's eyes is something which annot very well be prevented. Whiie , man is awake, unless he resolutely huts his eyes or has them bandaged, he snnnt nvnirl usinp- thorn. Rut use of his kind is not the employment that ir. Carter requires; there must be aental attention as well as visual imression, otherwise the eyes remain in , state of comparative idleness. The aan who retains his eyesight clear and nimpaired to an old age will much ftcner be the mechanic, who is compiled by his work to constantly teit lie acuteness of his sight, than the svrmer, who rarely has occasion to look cry closely at anything, and who treuently may not exercise his eyes by eading a newspaper from one week's nd to'the other. It will be perceived hat this theory is r ot the one commonly ccepted, and yet Mr. Carter is a specialst whose opinion cannot be lightly conraveued. He objects, of course, to an mproper use of the eyes under trying ights or to their over-exercise, but he irould seem to hold that trouble was ikely to arise Juily as often by underxercise as by;ov<'r-excrtion. To eive lis own words: "That which is true of rganism as a whole is true also of its tarts, and the eye3, among others, are est treated by an amount of systematic ise, which preserves the tone of their nusc'esand the regularity of their blood upply." Another point that Mr. C'nrer insists upon is the necessity of using roperly-ad justed glasses when the ight begins to fail. It is. lie affirms, iucIi more healthful for the eyes to use hem than to dispense with their use, ince under the latter condition certain luscles of the eye are subjected to an ndi.e and disproportionate strain.
