Lore's Reasons.
Why do I lore my darliiig bo T
Good faith, ay heart, I hardly know,
I hnye such store of reasons ;
Twould take me all a summer day
Nay, saying half that I could say
Would fill the circling seasons.
Because her eyes are softly brown,
My dove, who quietly hath flown
To me as to her haven ?
Because her hair is soft, and laid
Madonna wise in simple braid,
And jetty as the raven ?
Because her lips are sweet to touch,
Not chill, nor fiery overmuch,
But softly warm as roses,
Dear hps that chasten while they move,
Lips, that a man may dare to love,
Till earthly love-time closes?
Because her hand is seft and white,
Of touch so tender and so light,
That where her slender finger
Doth fall or move, the man to whom
Th guards of Eden whispered " Come 1"
Beneath its spell might linger?
Because her heart is woman-soft,
80 true, so tender, that I oft
Do marvel that a treasure,
So rich, so rare, to mo should fall,
Whose sole desert so small, so small,
Is loving past all measure ?
Because she has such stores of moods,
80 archly smiles, so staidly broods,
So lovingly caresses ;
So that my heart may neverjtire
Of monotone, or more desire "
Than she, my love, possesses ?
Ah me ! what know or what care I ?
Or what hath love .to do with why" ?
How simple is the reason 1
I love her for she is my love,
And shall while stars shall shine above
And season follow season.
Farm, Garden and Household.
To Dry Sweet Cobn. The Shakers,
whose dry sweet corn 13 considered as
good as the best, strip the corn from the
cob by cutting down the rows with a
knife, and then scraping the grains off.
The corn is then dried in the sun or in
common ovens. The Alden process of
drying is suited to an extensive busi
ness. When the corn is dry it -is packed
iu barrels for market.
Cream Pie. This requires 3 cups of
milk, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoonfuls of corn
starch, a pint of salt, butter the size of
a walnut, and 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar.
Have the crust ready bnked, then scald
1 cup of the milk with the butter and
salt ; beat the yolks of the eggs with the
corn -starch and the other I cup of milk,
and add to the scalded milk, with 1 tea-
spoonful of lemon extract. Put it in
the crust and bake until done. Then
beat the whites of the 2 eggs to a high
froth, add the sugar and spread over the
pie,; and brown slightly.

choked up with weeds, it is much the
best plan to plow it up and make a new
one. We know that some strawberry
growers boast of their old thrifty plan
tations, but the modern system of fre
quent renewals 13 far the best and most
economical as well as profitable.
Wasted Water. One acre of meadow
that can be. irrigated is . worth three
acres not susceptible of such treatment,
A large proportion of farms in the East
ern states might, to a greater or less ex
tent, be brought under this system,
Wherever there is a spring flowing from
high ground it may be gathered into a
small stream, turned into a plow lurrow,
and led feaok and forth across the lower
lands to nourish the grass. Wherever a
stream has a fall of a few feet there its
waters may be carried in lateral channels,
and made to overflow more or less of the
soil along its banks. Every farmer
should practice with an ordinary spirit
level until he is able to determine suf
ficiently well where and how he can turn
water upon his helds.
r
Sub-JLbbigation op Trees. A corre
spondent of the Pacific Rural Press sug
gests the following mode of sub-rrriga
ting trees : When the tree or vine is
ready to be placed in the pit which has
been excavated for it, have ready at hand
two or more buckets of coarse gravel, or
enough so that when poured into the
side of the pit the column of gravel will
reach from the surface to the bottom of
the roots ; then fill the remaining space
to within four inches of the top with the
soil intended for the support of the plant;
being careful m so doing not to dis
turb the gravel, but in such a way as to
leave a trench around the outer rim of
the. excavation, which will hold two
buckets at least of water. The water
poured into the trench will find its way
down the column of gravel, and the air
be excluded ; in fact, trial has proven it
far better than a wooden spout, or an
open hole of any kind for' getting the
water down and preventing evaporation
Feeding Cattle. In Orange county,
IS. x., milk commanding better prices,
the cattle are fed higher than elsewhere
Some mill feed, or corn meal, is gener
ally given in Summer, always in Winter,
Brewers' grains and sprouts are largely
used ; a little drilled corn is fed in Sum
mer, when pastures are failing. In
Winter fodder and nay are fed every
where. The use of drilled corn for Win
ter fodder is general, but the use of it
for Summer food is not customary as
yet, though increasing. Boots are fed
in Central New York considerably ; also
in Massachusetts and Connecticut ; pre
f erence is given to beet3 as better than
turnips. But the vast ma jority of dairy
farmers confine their cattle to pasture on
the native grass in Summer, and hay and
corn fodder in Winter, with a little grain
or root3 in early Spring to "bring them
in," ana "put them to grass ' in fair
condition. jno variety 01 grasses is
produced. I have seen only one field of
Lucerne ; no Italian or rye grass or mil
let, or orchard grabs, though no doubt
some little is grown ; yet clover, timothy,
and the native grasses are the "stand
bys." On a very few places some rye is
grown for early green lood.
Married Youn. In the Paris Court
of Correctional Police recently, a lady, by

to the witness stand to give her testimo

(Exclamations of increduli y from
the audience.) The lady's evidence being
taken, she regained her place.stul coquet

introduced. This was a full-grown youDg
man. "Your names' said the Judge,
"Isador Loustatot." "Your age?" "Twen

the last witness ?" "I am her son." "Ah,
well," murmured the magistrate, "your
mother must have married very young.

Starting: In Marneu Life.
I will tell you a story of my own experi
ence iff starting in the world. "When I
wa3 very young aDd very poor, I married
a very poor young man ; no worked out
by the day or by the month, on the farms
and in order that the stormy days should
.not consume the income of the fair ones,
something. must he done. What should
it be ? He had no trade for indoor labor,
except making shingles, Then he had no
shop, and it would cost so much to buy
lumber and build one.' Heretofore he had
spent the stormy days like hundreds of
young men in the country, lounging about
public places in the village, or at some
neighbor's. He had formed the habit,and
liked it right well.
".Now, said I, "James, if we ever get
anything ahead, the winter must not con
sume what the summer yields."
"lrue," said he, "but what can 1 do? '
I hesitated a moment, looked at the
neatly scoured floor of our little log cabin
and snow white recess and window cur
tains, which, by the way, were pieced out
irom worn out garments.
"Uet neighbor Wilson to bring you
some timber, get it sawed, and make the
shingles for half."
Where," said he ; here in the housef
" Yes. here in the house," said l.
Year after year passed. In our kitchen
barrels were hooped, chairs were bottom
ed, barley forks were made and sold, and
I used to pack the shingles. And what
of it it I did help him saw the small tim
ber? All this was done in bad weather,
and the children were growing up enjoy .
ing the liberty of making all the litter
desirable, whenever they were released
from their hours of study. No one on
earth loves neatness better than I ; but I
learned, in time, to sacrifice neatness, in a
measure, to prosperity and happiness.
Husband is nervous and irritable by na
ture, and it will not do in all cases to try
to teach old does new tricks, so I. have
picked up after him, boots hats and cloth
ing, washed and combed him almost every
Sunday morning, and, as to the boys, they
have made all sorts of farming implements
in the house when they could not play out
of doors : and whatever innocent amuse
ment they wished to engage in aside from
mental improvement, they have done. I
make many efforts to teach the boys order
about the house,but never fairly succeed
.Now tor the result 01 my course : we
have a farm of more than a hundred acres
well stocked; there are several rooms in
our house, but shingles are not made in
any of them. Sometimes when husband
brings in a barrel to hoop for our own
use, I tell him to be careful not to scratch
the paint on the hour. Husband is a
steady, hard working man, and when
night comes, he is at home ; the boys, or
rather young men, are honest, ambitious,
home loving boys. No smoking cigars, or
taking a "glass, or lounging about with
them, btudious, noble, good and true
they are. Rural New Yorker,
Cotton. It- is estimated that Texas
alone contains land capable of yielding
lo,UUU,UUO bales of cotton .annually ;
that is, considerably more than is
consumed at present by the whole civili
zed world. The problem now to be
solved in the South is not .that of pro-
ducmg cotton cheap with labor free, but
of improving methods of agriculture and
cheapening the cost of handling and of
transportation. JN early all reports from
the cotton districts promise a larger
supply than last year, and it is probable
that prices will tend downward for sev
eral months to come. English con
sumers seem so think that a steady de
cline in cotton will take place, and that
prices will fall so low that they will be
enabled to resume working full time af
ter January 1, when the American crop
of the year begins to reach Europe. Our
crops to England in 1871 were onlv about
689,000 cwt., less than in 1869. During
1H7U and 1871 the imports of American
cotton into Great Britain were 15,662,
935 cwt., and-from British India 6,898,-
906 cwt., showing an excess from the
United Statis during the first two years
of 8,770,049 cwt. The most important
point established by these returns is that
the staple industry of the South has re
vived, and is likely to prosper more un
der freedom than under the former sys
tem of slavery, At present it is gratify
ing to learn that the statistics of the
trade recently published m this country
and in England that the south is rapidly
recovering her former position as .the
great cotton held of the world. From
the report of the British Commissioners
of Customs for 1871, just issued in Lon
don, it appears that the supply of Amen
can cotton in 1871 was 9,273,910 cwt,,
against 6,395,045 cwt. in 1870 and 9,963,
300 cwt. in 1860. With these figures the
American statistics tally very nearly
the total production in 1859-60 having
been 4,7ty,77U bales, and m 1870-72, 4,
115,107 bales. Cotton rianter,
A Live General. I was amused the
other night by a conversation which I
could cot help hearing between a live
"General" and a dozen or so of admirers
who surrounded him. "Were you in the
beven Oaks battle, General 1" asked one.
Well, no, I was at that time speciallyide-
tailed on recruiting service," responded
the General, martially curling his huge
mustache. " Were you at the Vicksburg
siege c asKed another. "JN, 1 was in
Washington then." A third struck m-
"But you were at Antietam, I think, Gen
eral. "Well, no, I'm sorry to say I had
not an opportunity to be i that engage
ment; I was sent out West just before it."
"Wane you were out West were you in the
great Lookout Mountain fight?'' "No,
sir, I was at that time on special detached
service at New Orleans I believe, if I re
member aright, and soon atterward re
turned to Washington." "I think I have
heard that you did good service at Fred
ericksburg, General?" "I hope1 that I
should have done so, had I the good luek
to be there, but unfortunately, only a day
or two before, I had got a farlough to
come home to see my wife, who was very
sick." And so this conversation went on.
Happy End of a Courtship. A few

this city with his bride, whom he married
in .frairie City. Polk County. Iowa,
Twenty-three years ago Holmes left the
place mentioned to make his fortune in
California, the two being at the time cn
gaged. The luck usual with most of the
forty-niners was his, and after long and
unsuccessful labor he settled down to le
gitimate business, in which he managed to
slowly accumulate property. After a
time he returned to Iowa for his bride.

and tedious illness and the faithful sister
would not leave him. The illness termi

A Russian Ghost Story. . t --t
In a certain village so the story goes
there was a girl who hated work but
loved gossip. - So she never spun herself,
but used to invite the other girls to her
house, where she feasted them and they
spun for ner. .During one 01 these spin
ning feasts a dispute arose as to which
of the party was the boldest.
" A m not afraid of anything," . said tne
lazy-bones.
" Well, then," said the spinners, "if
you're not afraid, go through the grave
yard into the church, take down tne
Holy Picture from the door, and bring
it here."
".Very well," said she : " I'll bring it.
only each of you must spin me a distaff
full." - -
Well, she went to the church, took
down the picture, tfnd brought it home
with her. But then the picture had to
be taken back again, and the midnight
had arrived. Who was to take it ?
Go on spinning, you girls," said the
lazy-bone, "IU take it back myself.
I'm not afraid of anything !"
So she went hack to the churcli ana
replaced the picture. As she passed
through the graveyard on her return,
she saw a corpse in a white shroud sit
ting on a tomb. It was a moonlight
night, and everything was visible. She
went up to the corpse and pulled its
shroud off. (Its hour for stirring hadn't
arrived, perhaps.) Then she went home
carrving the shroud with her.
Alter supper, when every Doay naa
gone to bed, ah" of, a sudden the corpse
tapped at the! window, saying, ; I "Give
meimy shroud ! give me my snroud I
The other girls were frightened out of
their wits. But the lazy-bones took the
shroud, opened the window, and said :
'? There, take it I"
'?No," replied the corpse, " take it to
the place you took it from."
Just then a cock crowed.and tne corpse
vanished.
Next night, at the same hour, after all
the spinners had gone to their own
homes, the corpse came again, tapped at
the window, and said : f f . X
" Give me mv shroud !
'' 'Well, the . girl's father and mother
opened the window and offered the
corpse its shroud, but it cried : "
"No 1 Let her carry it back to the
place she took it from." . :.
Just then the cocks began to crow
the. corpse disappeared. Well, next
day they sent for the priest and told him
the whole story, and implored him to
help them. The priest reflected awhile,
then told, the girl to come to mass next
day. -".So in the" morning she" werftf to
mass. The service begun. Numbers of
people came to it. But just as they were
going to sing the "Cherubim Song," a
terrible whirlwind arose.. And it caught
up the girl in the air, and then ; flung
her down on the ground. And straight
way the girl disappeared from sight ;
nothing was ever found of her except
her black hair. . I I O I
Bbeed ov . CATTiiK. There - are few
dairies of thoroughbred or grade cattle.
The native cattle of the dairy region are
very fine, the nutritive grasses there
have developed their milking qualities,
and forty-nme-fiftieths, at least, of the
milk, butter, and cheese is produced -by
common cattle. But there are consider
able numbers of blood cattle being in
troduced from Canada, and quite a num
ber of our own people are breeding fine
cattle, though their herds are nearly all
small as yet, rarely over 20 breeding
cows and generally less. The favorite
cattle for the dairy are the Ayrshire,
though some in Vermont prefer the
Short-horn, objecting to the small size
and short teats of the Ayrshire.- I think
this preference is owing to the fact that
some Canada breeders have been de
veloping the milking qualities of the
Short-horn, and thus introduced a dif
ferent strain of Short-horn from those
usually seen. The Holsteins of Mr.
Chenery, near Boston, are looked on as
an experiment as yet, though where they
have been tried they are much liked.
They are unquestionably heavy milkers,
but it is not decided" that they are not
costly feeders, and whether their milk is
good for butter-making.; Gerrit S.
Miller of Peterboro, N. Y., has a few fine
Holsteins, which I did not see. . There
is, also, around Goshen a cross of Dutch
banded (black hind and forequarters.
white round the body) cattle, which are
much liked. The Alderney (Jersey) are
only kept in a few places where high
priced butter is made for rich city peo
ple. Though they have their advocates,
yet there can be no doubt that they have
been ruled out for dairy farming,; I
have seen but very few Devons : thev
are nowhere recommended.
The Employment op "Drummers."
The Journal of Commerce is inclined to
think that a reaction is approaching in
the method of attracting custom. The
employment of drummers (we are told)
is essentially demoralizing. It a! lost
certainly debauches the agent tr er
or latter, and tends by the instrument-
alties used to the injury of the morals
and habits of customers. Even where
these evils can be avoided it is a most
expensive agency, and this will lead to
its disuse, sinca if employers are not sick
of it, the buyers must see that they have
to support it, and must eventually de
cline to lay in their stock subject to such
costly machine for distribution. It is a
great mistake to suppose that these local
and travelling solicitors of custom are at
all necessary to the transaction of a large
business. The hrst essential is brains,
then sufficient credit and capital to pre
sent a desirable stock.' Judicious ad
vertising will announce this to every man
whose custom is worth having. Cour
tesy and fair dealing will complete what
is thus auspiciously begun; Drumming
leads directly to dissipation and licen
tiousness ; but if it .were morally unex
ceptionable, it is too heavy a tax to be
laid upon the distribution of goods.
Country merchants are growing as shy
of these red-faced borers as the farmers
are of the lightning-rod agents or patent
pill pedlars. Have a stock worth selling,
announce the fact to the public in the
columns of a newspaper, and when a
customer is thus found make it for his
interest and pleasure to come again.
"What "Was "Wanted. A "Western edi
tor who recently attended a female high
school exhibition, didn't like it because
he saw no indication that the girls pos
sessed any of the essentials necessary to
the making up of a good wife, f ; He per
ceived, he says, at a glance that the grad
uating girls are soon to be married and
demands that they be taught the chemis
try of the kitchen, the effect of vinegar-oa
copper, of boiling water on corned beet,
as well as the philosophy; of horao- life:
how to get and how to keep servants,
how great happiness may he got from .a
small house and a little money. These
are questions, he adds, worthy of much
more consideration than sighings and
longings, and she who has solved the rid
dle, has the philosopher's stone for her
amulet, has mastered the great problems
of thrifty living, how to extract sunbeams
from cucumbers. 2 i ; ;? :f ; ;r

CouBterfeftinjr to the Death.
The " effete monarclu'ea" of the Old
World are how busy with the ; autumn
manoeuvres" :of. their armies. These
manoeuvres resemble in many of their
features the famous " general training"
day of our forefathers. At the Russian
camp, however, some.- additions have
been made which undoubtedly would
have astonished even the traditional
militia officer.
At this camp one day a sham fight
was arranged, and preparations were
made by the ambulance corps to take1
care of the wounded, -.As the. battle
was only to be feigned, it was necessary
in the first place to select a number of
men to play the parts of the killed and
the dying, and to prevent mistakes and
confusion each one was furnished with a
ticket, setting forth the nature and the
severity of his injuries. ' ' -
The troops then marched "out, the
inimiccombat.beganand soon the ground
was thickly covered with the victims of j
war s fell rage. The ambulance men
advanced and began to pick up the
sufferers. The. wounds of each one, as
indicated by the ticket attached to the
body, were carefully examined, and the
! -1 ,1 1
proper remeaies were promptly admin
istered. One of the soldiers, however,
received instructions which justified him,
as he thought, , in giving up the ghst.
Those who were taking care of the
wounded were surprised at finding that
he gave no sign of life and immediately
called an officer for consultation. The
officer asked what ailed bimj but received
no reply. A physician was then called.
under whose direction water was thrown
in the wounded man's face, but without
the desired result." Finally, the signal
tor the close of the exercises sounded.
whereupon the dead man jumped up as
well as ever.v .-In reply to the questions
which were put to him he said that he
had done nothing but what it seemed to
him the severity of his wounds required
mm to ao.
The Holly Tree Inn, Boston.
The successful attempt made some
time ago in Boston to establish a restau
rant where the working classes, male
and female, could obtain a substantial
meal at first cost, has led to imitation in
other: cities: - J " - -. ' .
We now have in the many Holly Tree
Inns a temperance power of vast impor
tance, ' To Boston belongs the credit of
inaugurating the movement. As a rule.
Inns are located in a district swarming
with grog-shops, thus giving the idea the
.bet practical test. ..With accomodations
for males and females : with excellent
edibles, tea, coffe, chocolate and milk ;
with enticing reading-rooms and stated
musical and literary exercises, the pio
neer institution has be some justly
popular, w .,- . .: 5 ? ; ;
The name was borrowed from Charles
Dickens, for these resorts were just what
he would most enjoy. His portrait, too,
hangs in every place bearing this invi
ting name. Whoever has known the
pleasant cafes and inns of the continent
of. Europe, 'will at once" understand how
our people will appreciate similar prml
eges. Many men drank whiskey because
they were cold, and whiskey was all
ready for ten cents in the corner store.
Now, when they find coffee all ready for
nve cents, and the reading of the morn
ing paper thrown m, as: it usually 13,
they of course patronize the place where
they get tne most for their money.
When thd first Holly Tree took root,
working-women stopped at half-past six
o'clock in the morning to take breakfast
there ; now and then they would come
for dinner. At. .last they . found too
many men were crowding in ; it was not
pleasant, lor them : and thero was no
way but to- set tip a second establish
mient. Here the result was the -same; so
with the third and fourth. The neigh
borhoods in which these places are loca
ted gain rapidly in respectability. Drink-
ing-shops have been closed in their vic
inity ; writs have been served in other
low places. Individuals who were slow
ly going down-hjll have taken a new
start upward, and wives and children
wear better clothes than formerly, and
sometimes go to the play in the evening
with the father, and of tener to church on
Sunday. ;
How Ta Unite the Ends 6v Lead
Pipe. Whatever the size of the pipe
may be, procure a block of hard wood,
say four or five inches long, and four
inches . jn diameter.; bore a hole straight
through the centre, so nearly the size of
the pipe that the blosk can be driven on
the end of the pipe with alight hammer.
If one has a set of auger bits, it will not
be difficult to select a bit of the proper
size to make a water-tight fit. Let the
block be driven clear on the pipe, so that
the end of the pipe will be flush or even
with the end of the block. ' Now place
the two ends of the pipe together, and
drive the block off one pipe on the other,
until the joint will be at. the middle of
the.-block. ijf .the hole in the block is
made of the proper size, the block will
fit so closely that the joint will be water
tight 5 and, if the ends of the pipe are
dressed off true and square, the joint
win be so strong that it will sustain the
pressure of a head or column of water
ohe hundred feet high. Iron pipe may
be united in the same manner. Should
the joint leak a trifle, let shingle-nails be
driven into the wood around the pipe so
as to press the timber firmly all around
the pipe. This mode of joining pipe
will be found very convenient.
i The Mountain Meadows Massacbe,
-r-An affidavit in full by one of the least
guilty among the participants in the
affair, shows conclusively that the terri
bie Mountain Meadows massacre was
an act 6f the Mormon authorities. It
will be remembered that a large company
of emigrants, on their way to California,
are known" to have been all killed, with
the exception of the young children
When their massacre was discovered,
the Mormons set afloat the story that
they had perished hy the hands bf the
Indians ; but from time to time circum
stancial evidence has appeared indica
ting that they were murdered in cold
blood by the Mormons in revenge for
previous outrages upon the latter per
petrated in Illinois, and Missouri. A

A Dangerous Whirlpool. A correa
pondeht of the Baltimoro American gives
the following account of a whirpool at the
mouth of the St. Uroix river, which runs
between Maino and New Brunswick : "It
has been stated by travellers and recorded
in history that a whirlpool called the
Charvodis exists on the Greek coast, or
rather on the coast of Italy, and the Mael
stroni of Norway : but it is somewnat sin
gular that a dangerous whirlpool has
always existed and still continues to
frighten and be cautiously avoided by
boatmen, and hsherman without a single
chronicler to state its whereabouts audits
dangers. This whirlpool performs its an
tics at the entrance ot the bt. uroix ltiver
about midway between Deer Island and
Dog Island, where the channel is very nar
row, and a rapid, six knot current prevails
on the flood tide. Indian Kiver flows at
right angles with the St. Crdix. striking it
immediately at the entrance, rushing by
the projecting point pi JJcer isjana with
great velocity. These causes, added to the
counter current of the eddies, running
nearly as swift as the flood tide, and huge
boulders, supposed to lie at tue bottom
along the centre of the turbulent waters,
form the whirlpool. The tides in thi3 lo
cality rise and fall from twenty-five to
thirty feet, and at half tide the roar and
rush of waters can be distinctly heard for
ten miles along the shore. 1 nave seen
large logs and timber standing perpendicu
lar in spiral embrace, ana many nsnerman
and other persons have been swallowed up
in their treacherous tolas, in isc&u ttree
men in a large two mast boat were seen
by parties on both sides of the river to go
into these whirlpools. The boat, after
going round several times, went down and
the unvortnuate parties pensnea, ana
although nt three hundred yards from
the shore no power could save them. When
the boat came to the surface, largo holes
were observed in her bottom. On the

Assassination. A strange occurrence
(says Galignani) has just taken place at
Antwerp. As the chaplain of the prison,
31. Van Arsen, was leaving ther Uhurch
of St. Carlo Borromeo, a man came up
and asked him if he would buy a poniard
which he helcUput. The priest, greatly
surprised, replied that be could not find
any use for the weapon, on which the
other said, " Thin l will give it to you
for nothing , and in the calmest manner
imaginable, and without any excitement,
Dluncred the blade deep into the clergy
man's breast. He next drew out the
implement, and took to flight into the
church. But on the wounded man ut
tering a loud cry, some passers-by pur
sued the fugitive and took him into
custody. He turned out to be a man of
dissolute character, named Kums, aged
42, and could not assign any motive for
this extraordinary aggression. Hopes

The Horrors of a Disaster.
Inspector McBrien, of New York, who,
with his wife, was on board the Metis.
tells the story of his escape as follows :
"I went to my wife and quietly said that
I feared we were in danger, and asked her
to arise immediately. She got out of the
berth and asked me to be calm. I said,
' 'Yes, it is our only hope." I opened the
stateroom door to admit the light, and I
procured two life-preservers and threw
them on the floor. At that moment some
one came through the passageway and
said there was ho time to dress. I at
once put one of the life-preservers on
my wife and then another. I took a sheet,
tore it in two, and tied a piece of it
around my wife. Then I pulled the cur
tain cord off the hook and my wife took
that and tied it over the life-preservers
around her body. I then put on a life
preserver and assisted her to the main
saloon. She was at that time very sea
sick. I returned to tlie stateroom, got
her shoes and put them on. At that time
the passengers were crowding toward the
stern of the steamer. Some men were
praying in the main saloon, and all were
intensely agitated. One woman wildly
cried out, "Where is the Captain ?
Where are the life-preservers ?'-' Will
nobody help me ?"
We then went through the stateroom
to the window opposite ours, and I asked
my wife to get out of the window. She
felt unable to do so, but finally succeeded,
and we went to the gangway by way of
the saloon deck. I said to my wife, "I'm
afraid it will soon be over." She said,
"I pray not." I kissed her, thinking it
would be our last kiss. I assisted her in
the water on a shelf on which I had bound
her with two pieces of a sheet, and imme
diately followed her. After being in the
water a moment I said, "Louise, I'm
ffaid I made a mistake in leaving the
wreck," and I immediately made an effort
to reach it, and succeeded in grasping the
netting of the gangway. In an effort to
get on deck I lost my hold on my wife,
and she cried out, "Oh, save me, hus
band, save me. I answered, "Yes. Lou,
I'm here." It was so dark that I could
not see her, but I knew her voice. The
dashing waves caused what I supposed
to be phosphorescent light on the water,
and by it I saw my wife with the red
cord and tassel that I had tied around
her. I grasped her and assisted her on
the saloon deck. After getting her on
her. feet we moved to the bow of the
boat. The Captain said, ''Come thi3
way," and he lowered a ladder by which
we reached the hurricane deck. I placed
my wife on the skylight where some
ladies and passengers were grouped, and
we remained there until we could see the
breakers. I thought that the roof of the
hurricane deck would be raised by the
waves and would fall flat' on the beach
and that we might thus get ashore.
As the steamer struck the breakers the
part that was nearest to the shore doubled
up and fell back with the Debris on the
people on the deck, but I still remained
near the skylight. The second mate
tore the skylight from the deck, making
it turn a complete somersault, and throw
ing my wife and myself partially under
the frame work. By great efforts I got
out and released my wife. Immediately
after regaining my feet I caught the
bodies of an infant and a colored man,
and clasped my wife's left hand. My
wife cried out, "D'or Uod s sake let go
my hair." A French woman had caught
my wife by the back hair. I raised the
babe in my left hand and it was taken
from me by some one. 1 caught the
French woman by the waist, saying,
"Let go, let go." Then a stalwart man
caught the French lady and seemed to
lift her as if to throw her over his shoul
der, and carried her to the beach. Some
one caught me by the hand, but at this
turn my strength failed me. I saw my
wife a few steps in advance. A man
caught me by my right hand and Said :
"Now make an effort to get on your feet. "
I could make no reply, for I was com
pletely exhausted. Ho said again,
"Make one more effort 1" I looked back
and saw a breaker coming. 1 made the
effort, and they drett me on the sand,
where I found my wife. "

The Two Extremes. Two classes of
medical thinkers attempt to cure disease
by opposite modes of treatment. Une
class forces the system into preter
natural activity ; the other depresses and
weakens it. Both are wrong. To in
flame the blood of an invalid with medi
cated alcohol is as dangerous as to apply
undue steam pressure to a weak boiler ;
and to prostrate the physical energy,
which is the natural opponent of disease,
by depleating treatment, is an act of
almost equal temerity, mere is a me
dium between these two extremes, and

the admixture of any distilled or fermen
ted fluid, a specific comprising the im
portant proprieties of a wholesome tonic,
a gentle evacuant, a purifier of the secre

powerful anti-bilious agent. Never be
fore were these six sanative qualities
comprehended in one medicine, and
never before did one medicine cure so
many different diseases. Dyspepsia,
liver-complaint, diseases of the kidneys,
rheumatism, intermittent lever, dis

Nature's Appeals for Uelp.
Every indication of debility and exhaustion is a mute
appeal of JJature for medicinal aid to arrest the progress
of deoay. How are these silent appeals of physical
weakness to the t esouroes of the healing art usually
met? Too often, unfortunately, the drugs prescribed
aggravate the symptoms. Whoever rs commends
drastic purgatives, or mineral sallvanta, er poisonous
alkaloids, under such eironmstances, is an ally of the
ailment and an enemy of the patient. 'Whoever, on the
contrary, advise the broken down and desponding suf
ferer to resort to that peerless vegetable invigorant,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, for aid and comfort, is a
true philanthropist. It is safe to say that there never
was an instance in whish such advioe was given and
accepted without the happiest results. From the very
depths of weakness and despondency thousands have
been restored to vigor, health and cheerfulness by the
renovating operation of -this wholesome stimulant and
