Is one of the quiet towns of New
Hampshire, a group of tine-looking
people were gathered on a vine-embow
ered porch of a modest little house one
bright autumn evening, bidding good
bye in the eldest son, a taH, handsome
young man of eighteen, who was just
starting for l»oston to take a position
as salesman in a large wholesale house
of which his uncle was one of the pro-
!ooked
rietors.
The faces of the family group
bright and happy, with one ex­
ception. They were all* saying pleas
ant things to Charley, the favorite of
the family, and joking him in various
wavs.
The father said, "Small wages at
first, my boy, but before many years
we shall expect to see you one of Bos
ton's grand aristocrats, doing a large
business, living in a line mansion on
one of the avenues, and having plenty
of money for yourself and a few thou
sands to send back to the old folks."
Then Jennie, only two years younger
than Charlie, who had depended upon
him for her escort, and who was as de
voted to him as he had been to her,
threw her arm about his neck, and,
kissing him. said, although her tears
seemed welling up even then, I'm
not going to cry, Charley, but it is so
much harder to let vou go than I
thought it would be. i must say
that,
anyway, but I'll keep my promise, and
look bright until after you are gone."
Charley whispered some appreciative
word in her ear. and then said aloud,
You remember what I told you, Jen
nie, that as soon as I got a little ahead
I should send you the money to come
down and make me a visit, and, as I'm
determined to do my best, it may be
but a few months before I greet you at
the Hub and show you all the wonder
ful sights there."
Just then little Ruth came bounding
up the gravel walk, with her hands full
of Jlowers. looking herself, with her
beautiful blue eyes, and light, flaxen
hair flying in the wind, the sweetest
bud of them all. Now," she said, as
she stood in front of Charley, I've
just brought these for my own dear
brother, and they are all from Ruth's
little garden, and you must take them
away oft' on the ears with you. And
here is one," picking up a white rose
bud and holding it in her dainty little
lingers, while with her head tipped on
one side, and a roguish look in her
laughing eye, she said, "that you caft
in your button-hole when you go
to see the young ladies."
"Tut, tut,"' said her brother, none
of that now. What do you know about
my goin^ to see young ladies? You're
getting along too fast for a four-year
old."
So they chatted merrily together as
they sat in their pretty wicker-chairs,
waiting for the stage-coach which
would carry Charley to the railroad
station, fifteen miles distant. Mrs.
McAlpine had been sitting with them,
but her heart had been slowly coming
up into her throat, as she looked at her
boy. the pride of her heart, and began
to realize that this tirst parting would
be no doubt the beginning of the break
ing up of the family, and she could not
but question within herself, Will my
Ijoy ever be my boy to me again: as
trusting, as loving, as near to me as
now?"
While she thought thus, the tears
came into her eyes, and sht quickly re
tired unobserved into the sitting-room.
The offer from the Boston unele had
seemed a fine opening for their son,
but the thought of his going into the
city to live, to be beset with tempta
tions of every kind, had kept Mrs. Mc
Alpine awake for many nights, and had
been the cause of many sincere and
heartfelt pravers.
Mrs. McAlpine was a Bostonian by
birth, and an accomplished, elegant
woman, whose circle of friends there
was of the highest in social ranks, and
vet who, unlike her, were not religious,
but worldly, fashionable people. When
she was quite young she had come to
Claremont to pay a visit to her grand
mother, and while there had met Mr. Mc
Alpine, a quiet, refined, Christian gen
tleman, several years her senior, who
two years after this visit became her
husband and brought her to this little
town to live. But she had lived long
enough in the city, and had in her fa
thers family seen enough of the results
of city life in the dissipated characters
of her two brothers, to appreciate fully
what a conflict her boy must pass through
if he escaped unscathed. She felt sne
must say a few words more to him
alone, and so, stepping to the porch,
she called him into the sitting-room and
closed the door.
She sat down near him, and, in her
quiet way, in a low, sweet voice opened
her heart to him. She said:
Charley, you have been a dear,
good son to me, and have generally
meant, I think, to do about right, and,
so far as I know, you have no bad hab
its. But you are not a Christian, and
I cannot but feel anxious about you, as
you start off alone to live where you
will have no mother or father to coun
sel with, and where you will be obliged
constantly to choose between two paths,
the right and the wrong one, and where
the temptations will be strong to choose
the latter. You have noticed, some
times, Charley, that these small trees
that stand near the house, and are pro
tected by it, often weather through a
severe, stormy winter, while many of
the larger ones which stand off alone,
looking, in their strength, as if they
were equal to any combat with the ele
ments, are maimed and shattered, if
not wholly ruined, by the fierce winds
that blow. It seems to me that young
men are much like these trees. Those
who stand by themselves, exposed to
(be blasts of temptation, woo look
•fc
m. in
strong and seem to possess principles
which cannot be shaken, are oft-times
the first to yield to it, are broken in
health and character, and ruined
while those who still have the kindly
home protection, and feel the shelter
ing love of a fond mother's heart,
weather the storms, and at last stand
upright and unharmed in the beautiful
symmetry of their characters.
I have heard it said that nine boys
out of ten, who go from sweet, pure
country homes to the city, are led away
by temptations. Many of them do not
go far astray, perhaps, but only one
out of the ten keeps himself 'unspotted
from the world.' Charley, I want my
boy to be that one. When you meet
those who smoke or chew and are in
vited to join with them, when all the
others about you participate, do not be
ashamed to stand up for your princi
ples, and
be that one in ten.
When
your companions ask you into some ho
tel. or high-toned restaurant, or re
VI VViiVW IVOVLtUl alii) VI IC*
spectable drug-store, for a glass, and,
if you refuse to go, taunt and jeer vou,
teili
ling you you'll be more of a man one
of these days, and get over these
'goody' ways, do not swerve from the
right, and if you are the only one in
ten that dares to do right, and dares to
be true, Charley, be that one. And
when cards, and theater-going, and
places of worse evil are suggested to
you, and you sometimes feel now much
easier it would be to go in with the
other boys and do as tney do, than to
fight it out so
every day, remember this
talk to-night, and although you may be
the only one who tries or is able to re
sist, I beg of you, for mother's sake,
and for your sake, lie that one."
As the stage was just then heard
rumbling up the street, Mrs. McAlpine
ut her arms about his neck and kissed
im fondly, as he replied, "I'll re
member all you've said, mother, and
will try to be that one, and come back
as 1 go."
The stage stopped at the gate, while
one of the men came in and carried out
the trunk packed full of neat clothing
and many pretty, dainty and useful ar
ticles to adorn Charley's room, which
had been so cheerfully made by mother
and Nellie. Then with fervent good
byes, said over and over again by most
of the home group, and a warm pres
sure of the hand by his mother, who
stood there with melting eye and heart
too full to speak, for
The heart feels most when the lips move not.
And the eye speaks the gentle good-by,
Charley jumped into the coach, and
amid the shouting of the children, and
the waving of handkerchiefs, and the
shrill voice of little Ruth as she called
out, "Don't stay long come back soon
to our own little Ruthy, and don't for
get the button-hole bouquet and the
young ladies. Ha, ha, ha, that was a
good joke, wasn't it?" the coach rat
tled away down the lovely valley,
brightened at that hour by the glorious
sunset light, and made more beautiful
by the varying shades and tints reflect
ed upon the mountain sides. It seemed
too bad to go from such beautiful,
peaceful scenes to the noise and tumult
of a large, close city. But the cities
would be far worse places than they
are, were it not for the country ele
ment, the men and women whose early
lives were spent in the country, and
who amid the crime and wickedness in
cities have not lost the principles of
right, and truth, and honesty, and jus
tice, which were inculcated in their
youthful minds.
So in the crowd of strangers who
next morning arrived in Boston was
Charles McAlpine, as handsome, as
genial and intelligent a boy of eighteen
as you often meet. He found his way
to his uncle's warehouse and counting
room, not far from Fanueil Hall, and
was cordially received by those in his
employ at the oftice, and seated with
the morning paper in hand, awaiting
the arrival of his uncle, who drove in
from Brookline at a later hour each
day.
Charley fiad not seen his uncle, Mr.
Talcott, for many years, but felt at
home immediately, after the cordial
he received from his genial,
tine-looking relative. His uncle told
him he could busy himself looking
about that part of the city, and going
through the warehouse, and at three
o'clock they would drive out together
to Brookline, where they would be hap
py to have him pass the night, and the
next day he could go to his boarding
place in the city, and begin work in
earnest.
The evening was passed delightfully
in the elegant home of his uncle, and
the next day Charley went with the
bookkeeper and head-salesman to a
neat boarding-house, kept by two
maiden sisters on Somerset street.
His experience in a hardware store in
Claremont prepared him to take hold
intelligently in this mammoth estab
lishment of Talcott, Tower & Co., and
before the week was out his uncle saw
that Charley would soon take an im
portant position there, if he held out as
le promised.
The head-salesman was a distant rel
ative of Mrs. Talcott, and, as he had
been in the employ of the concern for
six years, he began to have serious
hopes of soon becoming one of the part
ners. His father was ready to give
him $10,000 at any time when there
was a good opening for him to go in
with the senior members, and regard
ing himself as almost invaluable to the
concern, he hoped by the new year,
now eight months distant, that pro
posals would be made to him, ana he
should send to his father in Vermont
for his check to that amount.
But a salesman of tine appearance
and gentlemanly bearing, a quick ac
countant, a good talker, and a popular
fellow—desirable as all these qualities
are, yet after all they are not the essen
tial ones. Careful business men are
more anxious to obtain for their em
ploy those who are thoroughly upright
and honest as interested in the busi
ness of the firm as if it were their own
careful in all their accounts, and thor
oughly trustworthy. These qualities
Mr. Davenport did not possess. Since
joining a club of young men, two years
after coming to the city, he had gradu
ally become
broad-minded,
as he termed
it. He became a member of one of the
musical societies, which always re
hearsed their music Sabbath evenings,
and often gave concerts on that holy day.
His most intimate friends were soon
those who disregarded the Sabbath,
who thought preaching and attendance
at church old fogy customs, which
were fast giving way to the more en
lightened idea that Sunday was a day
for rest and pleasure, for visiting
friends, driving out on the road, at
tending cultured gatherings, listening
to classic music, and so on, and so on,
and he wondered how he could have
enjoyed so long the simpler ways, and
quiet peaceful Sabbaths in New En
gland. He had become addicted to the
almost constant use of tobacco, and
was a noted wine-drinker, cardjplayer
and attendant at the theater.
thought these bad habits were not
known to his employers, and sometimes
argued to himseu when conscious that
his term of service there would not be
long-continued if the firm knew his
habits:
Well, they could not dispense with
me anyway. I know more about cer
tain branches of business now than
either of them, and thev think too
much of the almighty dollar to drop
me when they know as well as I they
would lose thousands of dollars by so
doing."
But business men are not as dull as
they sometimes seem, and generally
know much more of the time, charac
ter and habits of their clerks than these
clerks themselves suppose. Charley
II I
McAlpine, thrown into the society of
Mr. Davenport from the first, soon be
gan to feel the necessity of standing up
for his principles. And, when he re
fused attending the theater with his
companion, or having a quiet game
of cards." Mr. Davenport would say,
"Well, Charley, 1 won't urge you if
you do not think it right. But you'll
soon get over these notions. 1 had the
same when i came to the city, but
you'll grow broader-minded here and
soon go in for a good time with the
best ot us."
But, as Charley became better ac
quainted, he found that nearly all of
the young men about were of the same
class, and he had to light it out on
his line" alone against tnem all very
often. He was jeered, and taunted,
and urged, and entreated to join with
them, and give up his old-fashioned
puritanical notions, and their argu
ments would sometimes almost pre
vail, and Charley would feel, Now,
I could go with them to some extent,
and not be harmed, and why not do it?
1 am so tired of this constant tight
with them, and it is so much easier to
give way a little than to keep as strict
as mother wishes I would. Maybe I
am
old-fogyish and our folks too nar
row minded."
And yet, as he sat there alone in his
room in the moonlight arguing thus,
his mother's sweet, earnest face came
before him, and lie heard her kind
voice saying, If you are the only one
that dares to do right, Charley,
one,''''
be that
and his arguments fell to the
ground he
knew
mother's way was the
right way, aud he said, aloud, Moth
er, 1 will be that one."
But the battle was not over yet. All,
mothers little know the temptations
that surround and often inclose their
boys, as they leave their pure, sweet,
Christian homes and go out and mingle
with the wicked ana godless, in the
great cities. Few escape the toils that
are laid for them on every hand. But
thank the Lord that some can fight it
through, and come oft' unspotted and
untarnished. Thank the Lord for faith
ful and kind fathers and mothers, who
are not too timid to talk with their sons
freely on all these things whose influ
ence will never be forgotten.
During this first year in the city,
there were many times when Charley
McAlpine was on the point of yielding
to strong temptations. Once he stood
before tnc door of a theater, with some
companions, who had almost tempted
him to go in, when his mother's words,
"Charley,
be thnt one,"
sounded so plain­
ly in his ears, that he was almost staft
led,and, turning suddenly to his compan
ion, he said, "1 can't go with you," and
was off and around the corner in a
moment. Many times those few kind
words, and the image cf his mother's
face, as she said, with pride in her
look, Though only one in ten does
right, I want
my boy
to be that one,"
had held him and kept him, when, as
he often said afterward, he didn't be
lieve anything else could have saved
him, the temptations were so strong.
He grew in the esteem of his employ
ers every day, and thev trusted and
confided in him about many matters
which were known only to the firm.
After these first struggles, which had
been conquered, temptations were fewer
and easier to resist, and before the year
was out Charley's reputation was es
tablished, and the boys would say when
speaking of him, He's like adamant,
and you can't move him, and he'll
meet every argument, and beat you ev
ery time and those who were the most
honest would say, Well, he's a splen
did fellow, I tell you, and will get ahead
of any of us. 1 just wish I had been as
brave as he is but it's awful hard to re
form now."
Charley became a member of two
delightful literary circles, and attended
many scientific and literary lectures
and entertainments, and began to spend
a moderate sum of money each month
in valuable books, instead of amuse
ments and dissipation, and often told
his companions that he knew he en
joyed his evenings better than they did.
He had access to fine society, which
stimulated him to improve all his tal
ents, and make himself a peer of those
with whom he associated.
Ten years have passed since then.
Mr. Davenport, years since, was made
conscions that his services were no
longer needed in the business cf Tal
cott, Tower & Co.. and he therefore ac
cepted a position as cashier in one of
the city banks. He had grown more
and more dissipated, had gone from bad
to worse, and the last that was heard
of him was that he had absconded with
a hundred thousand dollars of the funds
of the bank in his pocket.
Mr. Tower, who was in ill-health,
and had been spending a winter in
Italy, died recently in Florence, and
young Mr. McAlpine, the rising man,
who could be trusted anywt.oro and
every time," whose neat, attractive
personal appearance was but an index
of his pure, clean heart and life, was
admitted to the firm on an equal foot
ing with the two remaining partners.
He is soon to be married to a lovely,
educated, Christian girl, connected
with one of the finest families in the
city, who had many admirers among
those rich in this world's goods, but
whose heart was attracted toward
something better and nobler, which she
found in the bearing and character of
Mr. McAlpine.
Charley had spent many vacations in
the sweet, quiet home in New Hamp
shire, and while there just after being
admitted to the firm, he said one even
ing as he sat alone with his mother on
that same vine-covered porch, from
whence he had started ten years pre
vious for histiew life in the city:
Mother, do you remember our con
versation the night I left home, when
you called me into the sitting-room,
just before the stage arrived? I felt
that you believed in me, mother, that
night, as I never felt it before, and I
have never forgotten your words, norv
your proud, yet anxious look as you
said, Though you find but one in ten
that dares do right, Charley, I want
my boy
to be that one.' Those words
have been a talisman to me through all
these years, and I feel that I owe to
you all that I am to-day."—Chicago

Don't Believe It.
AM exchange says: "A feature of
President Hayes' reception in Chicago
was a procession of firemen nearly five
miles long." We don't believe it. "A
fireman nearly five miles long" would
be a greater curiosity than any Bar
num's greatest show on earth ever
laid eyes upon. Such a fireman would
be obliged to curl up like a black snake
when he went to bed, and he would be
all the time striking his shins against
telegraph wires and when he dropped
a ten-dollar gold piece, it would take
him half an hour to stoop down and
pick it up. He would experience many
other difficulties too numerous to men
tion, and the principal advantage he
would possess over hve and six-footers
would be his ability to converse with
people passing five miles overhead in a
balloon. Since the big fire in Chicago,
that city may require firemen nearly
five miles long," but we repeat that
we don't believe she has 'em. A fire

THE London Farmers' Chronicle

any insuperable difficulty.
MACHINEKY on the farm means a
good deal, remarks the
Scientific Farm
er.
It means that the farmer has in
vested much capital in a way that is
saving him much hard work. It means
short days for you and the hired man.
It means going to bed later and getting
up later. It means less weariness ana
more opportunity for mind-culture.
Thus progress in agriculture not only
means more and cheaper food and
clothing, but it means greater oppor
tunity for development of manhood.
Let us welcome it, then, for the stom
ach's sake, the body's sake and the
mind's.
A VETERAN farmer told, a few days
ago, of a method of relieving a chok
ing cow which was new to me, but
which he said was unfailing. It is
worthy of trial, at any rate. A round
stick, two or three inches long, is put
into the cow's mouth, like a bit into a
horse's mouth. A string is then fast
ened to each end of the stick and tied
to the horns or up over the head. This
forces her to keep her mouth open, and
allows the gas which forms in the stom
ach, and is the cause of the severe pain
and rapid swelling which accompanies
choking in a cow, to escape. The effort
also of trying to rid the mouth of its
unusual incumbrance is the best help
toward freeing the passage of the throat.
If the trouble is not removed in this
way, the cow may be kept alive until
help is obtained for trying other meas
ures for her relief. In such cases time
is of great importance. He says he
has seen his plan tried in many cases,
and in none had it failed of a complete
cure in less than half an hour.—Cor.

The Story Told by an Old Manuscript.
A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Evening Post,
writing from Winnipeg,
Manitoba, describes an old manuscript
written in 1618 by one of the muti
neers who sent Hendrick Hudson and
eight of his crew adrift in an open
boat. They were never heard of more,
and for more than 200 years there has
been much speculation as to their fate.
The manuscript, written in a large,
firm hand, consisted of ten slips of pa
per, apparently torn from a book, and
tied together for better preservation.
It has been forwarded, together with
other relics, to the office of the Hud
son's Bay Company, in London. The
writer, Louis Marin, thus tells the
story of the mutiny:
One night, when we were in great
misery, stars fell from Heaven in counts
less numbers, and we rejoiced to think
for a time that the end of the word had
come. Our Captain was gloomy all
the time, and the men often cursed him
in his hearing for bringing them to such
pass. Spring was very tardy in com
ing, but when the ice field broke up we
thrust Hudson and the five blind sail
ors into the pinnace and told them to
go ashore. We headed the ship out
that night, and in the morning the pin
nace had disappeared. I became
afraid of the crew and of the ship, for
every night at midnight the ghosts of
the Captain and the hve blind sailors
came aboard and troubled us sorely.
While I was at my prayers one night
one of the ghosts told me to leave the
ship, and when we touched the coast
for water I ran away from it."
—The grandest, purest manhood that
ever blessed this ola world, was evolved
from suffering and born in anguish,
but somehow a man never seems to
think of that when he spills a table
spoonful of red-hot solder in his shoe.—

enough or line enough for every useful and
ornamental purpose, and has long been a fa
vorite with the public. It has been indorsed by
the great Expositions in this country and Eu
rope The one in London in 1862 Paris, 1867
Vienna, 1873 Centennial at Philadelphia, 1876.
At each of these it secured a medal for its excel
lence, durability and strength. The award at
the Centennial was given in the following lan
ided for superior strength
and excellent qualitv of spool cotton." This
guage: Commend
award was given by the authority of the United
States Centennial Commission, A. T. Uoshorn,
Director-General.
The New York Agents, Messrs. Anchlncloss
Bros., have just received a cable telegram an
nouncing the fact that Messrs. J. & P. Coats
have been awarded the gold medal for their
spool cotton by the judges at the Paris Exhi
bition.
The factories of the firm are established in
Pawtucket, in this country, where they em
ploy sixteen or seventeen hundred hands, and
in Paisley, Scotland, where Sir Peter Coats,
the head of the firm and family resides, and
is widely known for his generous philanthro
py, which Queen Victoria acknowledged by
knighting him a few years ago. Only a short
time ago ne was an honored
guest in Chicago,
and by bis courteous dignity won many
friends. It has always been the effort of this
firm to secure success by deserving it, and it
has been in that way that they have secured
such an enviable reputation for the articles
they manufacture. The best goods can be
made only out of the best material, and,
knowing this, the Messrs. Coats use the best
Sea Island cotton for their thread. This and
the great care used in its manufacture, is
what renders Coats' Spool Cotton" the fa
vorite with the matrons of this countnr, and
enables them to retain their trade against all
opposition.
A Model Farm.
WHY
should farming not be
scientific?
Because the manufacturer labors in a
scientific way, his profits are greater
and surer than those of the agricultur
ist who has neither machinery nor sys
tem but it is the unreasonable custom
of many to sneer at all innovations, and
to look at all methodic variations upon
old usages as the fanciful and unprofit
able schemes of visionaries with more
money than common-sense. It is the
people who sneer that are usually most
deficient in the latter quality, however
and had they a little more of it they
might perceive that careful book-keep
ing and the adoption of improved meth
ods and implements are as necessary in
farming as in any other business.
In a side hollow of that hill from
which Litchfield first became visible to
us several very distinct echoes can be
obtained, and this responsiveness of
the purple glens'1 gave a name to
this farn. It is Echo Farm—a pretty
anil poetically suggestive name, indeed,
which conjures up visions of loveliness,
and sets one to dreaming of intertwin
ing vines knitting their pliant tendrils
and sweet-scented leaves through the
hospitable porch and open lattice the
checkered orchard of fruity abundance
the garrulous brook that never tires of
its own monody the reverberant hills
that appease life's turmoil with their
easy undulations lofty barns mossy
with age and clattering mills down
in the seclusion of grassy hollows.
But, alas! dear reader, model farming
is not idyllic or Arcadian it is inflexibly
utilitarian it keeps all its buildings
in a perfect state of repair it subordi
nates the picturesque, if it ever recog
nizes it it pulls down the old mill be
cause that venerable is in the way of
the rectangular new dairy it diverts
the brook from its ferny course into the
most commonplace of earthen pipes
it tears away the vines that obscure
the light, and it looks upon everything
with a pair of the mo3t practical eyes
set in a head that weighs, measures,
audits and analyzes with chemical ex
actness. The proprietor of Echo
Farm conducts it as a manufactory. A
record is kept of the milk and butter
produced by each cow for each day,
each month, each year all the feed is
weighed, and the quantity entered up
on books, both that purchased and that
produced and a separate account is
kept of the yield of each field. Noth
ing is wasted, nothing done by guess
ing, and nothing passes unrecorded.
The implements arc of the latest or
most approved model. Three sets of
horse" hay-forks are in use, by
which hay is unloaded at the rate of a
ton in four forkfuls and in four min
utes, including in some instances the
carriage of the hay 150 feet. The oth
er machines also embody some novel
labor-saving principles. No manure or
fertilizers are found necessary, except
the 1,500 loads made upon the farm,
and a sort of muck, of which there are
several beds.
The history of the farm is interest
ing. A gentleman of education, intelli
gence and wealth came to Litchfield
some nine years ago in search of a
summer home. He had the most super
ficial knowledge of farming, and enter
tained no intention of entering that
business. But having purchased sixty
six acres and cleared them, he pur
chased additional tracts, which became
the nucleus of Echo Farm, whose area
is now about 400 acres. His interest
was enlisted in the raising of choice
stock, and beginning with a herd of
five, he has gradually increased the
number to 100, all the herd being pure
Jerseys, with authentic and valuable
pedigrees. The rocky fields were
cleared, laid out and inclosed by mas
sive stone walls. Old and inadequate
buildings on the consolidated land were
demolished, and new ones of Jmproved
pattern erected. In 1873 a barn 66 feet
by 25 was built an addition, 100 feet
by 40, was made the following year
and in 1875 another addition was made,
of 191 by 35 feet. These three build
ings form the three sides of the barn
yard. They are built of pine upon
massive granite foundations about two
feet wide, which are laid in cement.
All the wood-work is painted a soft
drab color, even the proprietor's resi
dence, and the telegraph poles that line
the roadway. A desire for simplicity
and durability in preference to
ornamentation or showiness is visible
everywhere there is no litter, and
there are no gaps in the fences or walls,
which are from eighteen inches to
twenty-four in thickness, every crevice
being filled like a mosaic with a stone
that exactly fits it. Care, thrift and in
ennity have acted like three charms,
rhen the fields were being cleared,
such large quantities of stones were
gathereo that some perplexity arose as
to where they should be put. Many
hundreds of loads were used in the
foundations of the buildings, in the
fences and in filling ravines, but more
remained, and these were deposited
upon several sterile hillocks of no value,
where masses of swamp grass were laid
over them and covered with a light
dressing of soil. Grass seed was sown
upon the soil, and it took well, soon
transformed the barren heaps to ver
dant knolls, whose blades are remarka
bly hardy. It was not so much for the
sake of the land gained that the stones
were thus disposed of, but it was rather
to prevent the formation of nurseries
for weeds, shrubs and brambles, which
the heaps would have quickly become.
Two and a half acres are planted
with beets, which are the only roots fed
to the cattle, the crop averaging 1,000
bushels an acre, and more tnan 2,000
tons of hay are housed a year.—W.

A
SCHOOL-TEACHER,
who had been
engaged a long time in his profession,
ana witnessed the influence of a news
paper upon the minds of family and
children, writes as follows: "I have
found it to be a universal fact, without
exception, that scholars of both sexes
and all ages, who have access to news
papers at home, when compared with
those who have not, are:
1. Better readers, excellent in pro
nunciation, and consequently read
more understandingly.
2. They are better spellers, and de
fine words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge
of geography in about half the time it
requires of others, as the newspapers
have made them acquainted with the
location of important places, of Na
tions, their government and doings on
the globe.
4. They are better grammarians, for,
having become so familiar with every
variety of style in the newspaper, from
the commonplaced advertisement to
the finished and classical oration of the
statesmen, they more readily compre
hend tho meaning of the text, and con
stantly analyze its construction with
accuracy.
5. Those young men who have for
years been readers of newspapers are
always taking the lead in debating so
cieties, exhibiting -a more extensive
knowledge, a greater variety of sub
jects, ana expressing their views with
greater fluency, clearness and correct
ness."

during the aforesaid epidemic, we used the

of Savannah at different hours of the night,
and also in spending entire nights in the city
during the prevalence of this incst fatal epi
demic, with but the single exception of one
of us, who was taken sick, but speedily recov

a circumstance we ean account for in no other

justly claims for it a superiority over all rem
edies ever offered to the public for tbe SAFE,

of Ague and Fever,
or Chills and Fever, wheth
er of short or long
standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to hear
him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if
the directions are striotly followed and
carried
out. In a great many cases a single do^e has
been sufficient for aenre, and whole families
have been cured by a tingle bottle, with a per
fect restoration of the general health. It is,
however, prudent, and in every case more cer
tain to
cure, if its use is continued in smaller
doses for a week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re
quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of
BULL'S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will
be sufficient.
