I tat) not afford a h:U:l, unti I tie

of tliir'y oid, who iisa been at th
mercy of boarding bouse kepera
all his days, can understand that
So when I engaged u suit of
rooms third floor in a Frenchflat
edifice and arranged my household
goods therein, with a fine lookout
over a green tlot in front, and the
glimmer of the Palissden far awty
to the rear, I considered myself
quite well off.
A hat is my profession? I haven't
any in particular. I am an artist.
nd draw a little daily, ia ffont of
my e6-l I read law whta I feci
like it, una uraw a regular income
from a nug little property, It-It me
by an untie in India.
Consequently I was able to deco
rate my quarters vcy prett'ly with
Bagdad rags, old China dragons,
black, and gold Japanese screens
anu pictures I nau picKett up at a
bargain. '
And when Ihe li 1 e was burning
diet! fully ou th iKfttth, that fiii
rainy Aiy evening, the student
lamp ahone softly on the red carred
table, and the waiter fron the
neighboring reatauraut had brought
in my frugal dinner of a broiled
bird, a mould of currant jelly, a
slice of roost beef, etc., I considered
myself pretty comfortable.
"Upon the nho.e, said I to my
self, "I rather improve, of a French
flat."
I rang the bell.
The janitor, a respectable, decent
sort of fellow, in a round jacket
and carpet slippers, answered the
summons.
"Janitor," said I, "who occupies
the floor above?"
Nobody, sir," the man answered,
"Last party moved out yesterday.
New party moves in to morrow."
"A large family! said I, rather
dubiously.
"Bless your heart, sir, said the
man, "no lamilT at ali. it is a sin
gle lady coming."
At this I congratulated myself
the more.
I shall have a prospect of a lit
tle more peace, I think," I said, and
I ate my dinner in a fool's paradise.
The single lady moved in on the
morrow. She must have moved in
hen I .was downtown, selecting
some new miiinoards ana color
tubes for the summer sketches that
I intended to make; for when I re
turned, fondly expecting to enter
raj kingdom ot peace and serenity,
everything was changed.
There was a hanging and pound
ing overhead, a thumping and ham
mering a sound as if some middle
age 1 giantess, in hob nailed shoes,
was en joying herself ia a prome
nade. I sent for the janitor.
"Is the house coming down?" I
asked, in a rage.
"It's the new tenant moving in.
sir,' be sai l.
Docs her furniture consist en
tirely of Herring's sfes and square
pianos !" I asked.
"Tnere s two pianos,
sir,
said
he, "she's musical."
"The deuce she is!" replied I.
Two pianos? And dors she play
on both of thera?
"Don't know, Mr, I'm sure," said
the man, with a distressed expres
sion ot countenance.
I endured the noie until mid
night and then scat up the janitor's
ife.
"The third floor's compliments to
the fourth, and would like to know if
this sort of thing is to go on all
night."
Down came the woman again.
"Fourth floor's compliments to
third floor, and wishes to know if
he expects people to be sett ed
without a noise."
The next iay the piano only-
one, However, commenced. 1 was
elaborating a skeleton for a scien
tific essay, and it disturbed me se
riously. I endured it as long as I
possibly could, and then I had re
course to'the janitor's wife.
"Third floor's compliments to the
fourth floor, and will feel obliged if
she will favor me with a little peace
and quietness, long enough to do
some necessary writing."
There was no reply, but the mu
sic ceased abruptly.
But that evening when I was be
ginning to solace myself with a lit
tle violin practice in the twilight,
tap, tap came the janitor's wife at
my door.
"Fourth floor s compliments to
the third floor,and will be obliged if
he will lavor her with a little peace
and quietness long enough to write
a letter.
How I hated that woman.
So we lived for many a month,
exchanging constant missiU of war
fare. I could cheerfully have given
up that French flat and gone back
to boarding, only luckily I had en
cagsd it for the year. The fourth
floor eiecutionized, and had friends
to select private readings, whose
voice was deeper than Hamlet's,
and more sonorous than that of
Charlotte Cushmau. She was char
it&ble, and had classes of heavy
booted girls there twice a week to
sing hyiuD and learn to sew. A
single lady, indeed! If she had
been quadruple lady she could not
have made more noise or enjoyed
the making of it more.
At the end of the month, how
ever, an accident happened which
tursed the current of my whole
life.
I went on a picnic. I don't often
go on a Hairs of that kind; bat that
was au especially select affair, got
ten up by my mend, Harold Web
ster.
I went, and there I met Barbara
Willis, and fell straight way in love
with her. She wasn't exactly too
youcg, but neither was I and, to
my tasto, a full blown rose
sweeter than a bud, where ever you
may una -it growing. Jane was
dark eyed with full lips, satin
brown hair, and a complexion a
fresh as rose and ivory. We talk
ed our ideas coincided exactly
It seemed as if our souls were two
i
PULASKI, TENN., THUKSDA Y,
looking glasses, to mirror each oth
er" "MUs Willis," cried I. 'why is it
that we have never met before? I
fee! as if we were Id, old fiitud."
At I spoke I gently pressed her
hand, and she 1 tuiled back unuttera
ble tilings.
I ;ent to my friend WebBter,
who nan raakiDg up quadrilles on
the upper .deck. We were accom
panied bv an excellent brass brand.
"Harold," said 1, "I caa never
thank you noujih tor introducing
me to that angel."
"Do you mean Barbara Willis?"
said ht. "Well, I think she is rath
er a fine girl."
Wegreiv confidential as we sat
together on the promenade dick
a:.d watched the moonlighi ripple
over the surface of the tide.
"A bachelor's life is but half a
life. Mins Wiilis," said I.
"I can readily image that,' said
be, soft it-.
I live i;i a Hat, confessed I.
"Do you?' said Barbara ((he
snreet old English name was just
like her,) "why, how strange? so
do I."
"Isn't that dreadful?"
'Horrid?" said she closing her
on' lips as if she meant it.
"And there's a female dragon oc-
cup'es the fl-jor above ami t rtuents
me out of u:y life.
"Well, if i in.- ic t a remaiknble
coincidence," said Barbara.
"There is a detestible old crab of a
bachelor under rue who takes all
the pleasure out of my existence."
"bhould two lives be thus blight
ed!" said I emphatically.
I don't think they should,
said Barbara, enthusiastically, look-
ng intently at the roses she held in
ter hand.
It was past midnight when the
I
oat landed. Harold Webster came
up.
"I promised to see you home,
Miss Willis," said he, rubbing his
hands briskly.
"You need not trouble yourself,
Webster," said I. "1 shall be most
hsppy."
I called a hack; I helped the di
vine Barbara in, feeling more and
more as if I were walking in cloud
land. "Where shall I drive to? ' said
the man.
"No. 60 Re venal street," said
fourth floor." she,
"What!" cried I, "not the Fer-
nandino flats!"
"Exactly," said she.
"Why, that's where I live."
"Are you on the third floor?" she
cried out, breathless.
"Are you on the fourth?" 1 coun
ter questioned.
"But you are not a crab at all."
"Nor are you a dragon. Oa the
contrary
But what matters it what we
said? Things were altered at the
very beginning. I took my violin
upstairs with me the next day, and
helped my divine Barbara out with
a sonata of Beethoven's. I sugges
ted a new educational theory for
the hobnailed classes. I listened
enchanted o her recitation of Ten
nyson's "Brook;'' and at the quar
ter's end Jwe were married Bar
bara and 1.
ASE THE CHILDREN AT HOME
Each day when the glow of bunsct
Fades in the wostorn sky.
And tho wee ones, tired of playing
Go tripping lightly by.
I steal away from my husband,
Asleep in his easy chair.
And ws'ch from the opeu'd docra-ay.
Their face fresh and fair.
Alone in that dear' old homestead
That once was full of life,
Ringing with girlish laughter,
Echoing boyiih striff,
Wa two are waiting together;
And oft, as the shadows come.
With tremulous voice ha calls me,
"It is night! are tho children home?"
"Yes, lovj," I answer him gently,
They're all h ma long ago,"
And I sing, in my quivering treble,
A pong so solt and low,
Till the old man drops to slumber,
With his head upon his hand,
And I tell lomvself the number
At homo in a better land.
Home, where nover a sorrow
Shall dim their eyes with tears,
Where the sraiift of Ojd ia on them,
Through ail the summer years
I know, yet my arms are empty,
That fondly folded seven.
And the motner heart within ma
Is almost starved for heavon.
Sometimes, in the dusk of evoning,
I only shut my ayes,
And the children are all about me,
A vision from the ekies;
The babes whose dimpled fingers,
Lost the way to my bresst,
And the beautiful ones, tho angels,
Passed to the world of the blest.
A breath and the vision is lifted
Away on the wings of light,
And again we two are together,
AH alone ia the night,
They tell me hiB mind is failing,
I smile at idle fear;
He ia only baok with the children,
In the dear and peaceful years.
And still as the summer sunset
Fades away in the west.
And the wee ones tire I of playing,
io .roopiog hrtrae to rest,
My husbands call from his corner,
'Say, love! have the children come!"
And I answer with eyes upliltod,
"Yes, doar! thay are all at home.''
Fashion, thoti torment, who can
keep pace with thee. Heretofore
wood has been marbleized and
made lo appear like the genuine
article, but now the coatrary is the
fashion and marble is given the ap
pearance of wood; therefore if you
uave a niaroie mantel in your
house it must be painted and grain
ed to imitate the frames of furni
ture within the room or the mantel
removed altogether (if you have
plenty of money) and replaced
with a haiidsome wooned mantel.
Verily, fashion is costly, -hut "out
of the fashion, out of the world.

Wrinkles for Housekeepers-
So much information about ev
erything is now so eiaiiy obiaitia
ble that there is little excuse f.r
enduring many of the small domes
tic worries to which housekeepers
and others are ofua sul'jecled
Why, for instance, need anyoue be
inconvenit need by damp cupboards
wheu we read that a bowl uf quick
lime placed therein will speed ly
absorb the moisture? Some of us
are nervous about bed being well
aired, and yet we have only to fi.l a
large stone bottle with boiling wa
ter and put it into tUe bei, pressing
the bolster and pillows around it in
a heap. By this simple contriv
ance, it is comforting to lcar:;, no
one need fear giving a fiiend a
damp bed, even if this is doue" only
once a loimigiu.

r.d us of these pets, but preserve

"help" should derive satisfaction
from the assurance that beetles may
be effectually got rid of by spriok
ing once or, twice on the floor a
mixture ,of pure carbolic acid and
water, one part to ten.
It is not frequenters of restau
rants only who wonder why the
simple precaution of throwing red
pepper pods or a few pieces of
charcoal inta the pan said to
prevent odors from boiling ham,
cabbage, etc. is not observed.
Cooks are further reminded thai'in
roasting mat, salt should not be
put upon the joint before it is put
in the oven, as salt extracts the
juice; and that lima water will im
prove the condition of old potatoes
in boiling.
Eggs could be purchased with
greater confidence ' if the German
method of preserving them by
means of silicate of sda was gen
erally followed. A small quantity
of the clear syrup solution is
smeared over the surface of the
shell. On dryiif, a thin, hard,
glassy film remains, which serves as
an admirable protection and sub
stitute for wax, oil, gums. etc.
Economy in housekeeping would
be facilitated by the better observ
ance of what are kaow in common
parlance as "wrinkles." For exam
pie, why purchase inferior nutmegs,
when thsir quality can be tested by
picking tbem with a pin? If they
are good the oil will instantly
spread around the puncture. It is
wortii recollecting that bar soap

Early in the spring, we think
a'toui the first of May last, Messrs.
Will George and John Hatcher, two
enterprising young men of ourcoun
ty, went across the Tennessee river,
some say to West Tennessee, others
t North Alabama, and bought op a
lot of rattle and drove them up
through Wayne county into Hick
man, to a point west of v ernon,
where they were turned loose on the
range. As there has been a singu
lar mortality among the native cat
tle that have come ia contact with
this herd, we give the facts as near
as we have been able to collect
them, ani ask tht some one famil
iar with the subject tell us whether
or not this disease that is killing
the native cattle was caused by com
ing in contact with those of the
drove from across the Tennessee
river? Any facta of information in
regard to Texas or Spanish fever
would now be apropos, as we learn
Messis. George and Hatcher ridi
cule the idea that their Alabama or
West Tennessee cattle caused the
disease, inasmuch as none of them
have died or been sick. This is tt
subject the people need information
upon, especially members of the
legislature, and an article in your
columns from the pen of some of
your well-posted scribes would do
much good.
As far back ou the trail of these
cattle as we have been able to hear
from is Waynesboro, where they
stopped one night. The party with
whom they stayed had, roine time
since, lost twu cows. xne next,
place we hear from them is on For-
ty-Eij;ht, where they were pastured,
or grazed, several days on account
of high water; sixteen head have
died the-re. The next 6top was on
Cne Creek, where a farmer now
mourns the loss of a $140 yoke of
oxens.
The above items were gathered
by a man passing over their trail
ithout being particularly interest
ed or msking inquiries; how many
have died since, or how many oth
ers bad di:d then that he failed to
hear of, we know not. We hear
nothing further from them till they
re turned on the range west of
Vernon. In that section John Far-
ham has lost four head of cows and
yearlings, George lost two cows,
Hatcher two cows, John Betty two
cows dc;id and a steer sick, Dorton
twi cow., Allen Lowe two head,
John Mays one cow, Thos Webb
one cow aud two others dead near
him belonging to unknown parties,
W. S. Nunnely seven head of cows
and yenrlings.
We have here a total of thirty-
eight head of cattle that have died
on the trail and range of this drove
from across the Tennessee. We
have not heard of the death of but
one cow in our county, outside the
range of this drove, and she was
killed by a tree falling on her.
These cattle of George & Hatcher
may not be the cause of this epi
demic among the range cattle, but
there are not a few who behove they
are. Will advise you of any further
development of which we may
learn. B.

It has been fully demonstrated
that horses and colts lhat are con
stantly supplied with salt, so that
they can get what they require at
all times, are much less liable to
suffer from worms than those which
are salted sparingly and at long in
tervals. This aione should prompt

keep "a large lump of salt in every

Tea L:rai cf Whistling.
It is a pievalent notion that a
propensity to whistle indicates an
indolent or trivial nature. When
we are indulging In it by way of
soliloquy, and some one meets us,
we stop short, snapping the whis
tlein two, as though we had been
doing something disreputable.
There is nothing more liea thful
than this exercise. The faculty
has been granted to those of us
who cannot sing much. Though
we mightj lose our way in a tune
if we attempted the customary so
pratio or bass, we revel in the
sounds which, without any skill,
rush with the breath through the
contracted lips. Grumblers seldom,
i; ever whistle. The art is left on
ly for the blithe aud cheerful.
Whether it is the whistle that
makes the good cheer, or the good
cheer that makes the whistle, e
have no lime to analyze. This
kind of music is an inspiring ac
companiment of work. Let two
masons be busy on lhe scaffolding,
their strength, alike, their hods
and trowels alike, the one' who
whistles will better set the bricks
and rear the truest wall. Do
not rob us of any of our helps.
What the world wants is an aug
mentation of diversions and enter
tainments; not less skip and romp
and curveting, but more. God has
no objectiona to it, or He would
not li I the kittens with it and the
lamb with frisk, and the dog with
facetious bark, and send the night -
wind around the gawle with mouth
full of whistle. We know not why
women, with all their cares, should
be denied this exercise, and yet an
nngallant rhyme has for ages for
bidden it. Do tell us something
that women may do? You do not
want them to skate, or lecture, or
preach, or walk too fast, or laugh
very loud, and you finish your
loDg list of prohibitions by saying:
"Whistling girls and crowing hens
Always come to some bad end."
There are times in a woman's
life when a psalm-tane does not
seem particularly appropriate, and
a carol seems too formidable to at
tack; the former is too grave and
latter too jubilant, and nothing on
earth is consonant with the circum
stances but a whistle. The privi
lege she shall not be denied if we
have anything to say about it.
S(.on after going on board the
steamer, we no.iced a little pewter
instrument that hung to the boat
swain's jacket. On such a simple
thing you would not suppose a man
could make more than one or two
sounds, but that little instrument
can play a hundred tunes, and at
its ;call cables, cordage, rigging,
sails, colors, boats and anchor re
spond, and all the crew fly swiftly
from hammock to capstan and
from capstan to ratline. After
eight days of head wind we heard
the boatswain's long, keen, re
sounding whistle. It meant that
the wind had changed, and the
sails must go up. There was in
that pewter whistlo more music
than in any harp we have since
heard, and when it fell down again
from the boatswain's lips we re-ex-a
i ined it to see where all that
chirrup and glee of sound aud
shrillness of blast could hide them
selves. Thus we sail oi in life,
and sometimes into the teeth of a
headwiud, and it is tugh naviga
tion. Our whistle, dangling to our
neck, seems of no use. Everything
is against U3; but after a while
theie is a chango in the moon, and
the wind that was adverse wheels
around in our favor. lhen we
take up our whistle, and all hands
on deck, the sails rise, and the
port looms up in the distance. If
at such a time we make more noise
with our mouth than we ought to,
charge it not to ua, but charge it to
the boatswain's whistle. Dr. Tal

he is Lot only opposed by the class
above him,"but envy nd scorn are

themselves outstripped by one
whom they have reckoned no bet

encouraging, tliey damp 'his ardor
and grieve his heart with sneers
aDtl cold because of envious coun

boast of but a noble sou), no treas

ing to take his place among them
and there is one universal shout of
"keep him down!" This upword
struggle which the poverty struck
genius has to endure the struggle
against prejudice, and misrepresen
tation and want has dnmaged
many a mind and discouraged
many a head, and has kept many a
man, formed to be a light in pover

ble Bpirit has concealed its own
brightness; many noble and free
men, of whom the world is nut
worthy, have gone down into the

And, after all, what is wealth?
and in the end, what matters pov

lengthwise over the horse's-back.

a wide band under the horse, so
that in going down hill that animal
can be lifted bodily olf his feet and

"coasts." And the lifting machine

I need hardly state that at the

the use of no animals except those
of improved breeds. These are
the most profitable because they
have the least percentage of off.il,
hence ihe least food is used by
them in building up useless parts;
bacaiise od account of their quiet
disposition, they do not consume
so much force (the e juivolent of
flesh) in useless exercise; because,
owing to their habits and inherited

their food more thoroughly than

way to the gold region carrying a
hen under one arm and a banket of
chickens under the other. Their
destination reachei, thes hens are
picketed, and being already
hungry they commence to
scratch and eat, and eat, and after
three or four days honest toil, thay
are unceremoniously killed, and
their crops examined for gold dust.
As much as eight dollars worth has
been found in one crop. The cost
of the hen is, of course a matter of
consideration, but it is said that a
young man with a turn for inven

tracting the gold from the hen's
crop without damaging the hen.
