The world carctli not for our loving,
And careleie are we of its themes.
Two warm-hearted, satisfied lovers
Absorbed in our own blissful dreams.
Our footfalls aro lost in the medley
Of nurnberlets hurrying feet
But wo list to our own footfalls only,
And know that their music is sweet
FOR HIS SAKE.
.Felix del Arabal and Raymond de Lerida
had been friends from childhood. They
were educated together and served in the
eamn regiment. Felix was older
than Raymond, nnd possessed a
more decided character. His
«veu temper and calm, excellent judge­
ment. ihcerciaod a beneficial influence over
his Lot-headed friend.
On ono occasion, in a skirmish with the
iSuglish, .Raymond bad saved Felix's life
by receiving a sword-thrust intended for
the latter, and after that the friendship of
Felix and Raymond had increased until it
was without limit. The two friends were
stationed at Gribrnlter, when that stronghold
•was in possession of the Spanish, but be­
sieged by the British.
It was ft sunny day in August, 1772. The
streets of Gibraltar were alive with the gay
anc». brilliant populace.
Tho greatest crowds congroqated in the
streets through which the priucoss' rogi
juent was to pass. This regiment was com­
posed of the curled darlings of old Spain,
aud was great favorite of the people—but
above all with tho ladies, for its officers
were all picked men.
Raymond and Felix were two of the
hauasome3t men in the regiment. As they
marched side by side, Raymond suddenly
•exclaimed:
"Felix, quick look there. Look at that
marvellously beautiful woman on tho bal­
cony overhead!"
Felix looked up and beheld a young lady
of striking lovliness, half hidden Ly tho
flowering vines which covered the balcony.
"You are like a very ferret, for discover­
ing pretty woman," laughed Folix.
Th'ey marched on, but Raymond kept
turning b.iok to look at the lady until she
Wis lost to view.
She also fastened her eyes on the two
young officers—tho one still pale from his
lute wound, nnd a noble appearance, tho
other, shorter but well formed, was elegant
and active. Behind the lady stood a man
well advanced in lifo. By ilia dress and
commanding air it could be seen that he
,wns
a person of distinction. Ho was, in
fact, the mayor of the city.
A look of annoyance crossed his face ae
ho caught tho admiring glances which the
you tig officers cast upward on his wife,and
taking her rather roughly by the arm, ho
said,authoritatively:
"Yon had bet'.er retire from the balcony,
Laura. Those popinjays stare at you as
bold'.y as if you was a performing monkey
on an organ."
At tho military ball given that night the
"young officers were fortunate enough to be
introduced to a beautiful creature, who
was known as the victim of an old and ty
ranical husband.
Raymond ha! the felicity of dancing
frequently with Laura, nnd their mutual
attir ation became noticeable.
"Take care!" vliispered Felix to Ray­
mond as they stood apart and obsorvod
•her.
"Tako care of what—of whom?"
"Why, don't you seo? Her old husband
is watching you with blazing oyes, and look­
ing aa if he would liko to swallow you at
one Rnlp."
"Why Felix?"
"Because ho sees—it being plain enough
•—vorcr admiration for his wits,"
"O pshaw! Anybody may admire a
iprelty woman without meaning any Imrrn.
I think bo is disquieting himself for a very
small itler."
"A small matter now, I grant you," re­
plied his friend, "and furthoruiore, that
he who owns that piicoloss jewel is not
worthy of its (ygaesaion. Still it is his,
and he guardsjttcurt'tully. Therefore, I
isny to you, ilf *oml, stop just where you
arc, lost tho
h% ,R
in of mere admiration
of another ma^^wifo grow into the very
bis ono of lovi^ her and thereby losing
two souls."
Raymond looked gravo for a moment, but
the siren who hart CBtbralled bis fancy at
'that fatal moment whirled by him in the
arms of a fellow eflicer, and ffashed on him
so enchanting a smile that he fairly lost his
\sits.
That smile determined tho tate of threo
people. Turning to his friend, Raymond
said recklessly:
"And I say to you, Felix, that I am but
25,and do not know.oeinga soldier, if Ishall
live twentv-five hours. Let us, then, enjoy
life while it is ours, Felix, and leave cold­
blooded prudence to gray beards.
Raymond contrived to sue Lura fre­
quently, but not. to speak to her, for her
husband would not permit her even to go to
church without an attendant. In his des­
peration ho determined to disguise himself
and follow her to evening mass.
Ho succeeded in kneeling beside her,
iuiI slipping into her prayer-book a little
noto. She replied in a very timid, tear
stained note, requesting him not to write
any more, but assuring him when and
•where sho would grant him an interview.
Tho next day, when he was sitting at his
window, old Maria passed and made a sign
to him. On the very wings of love he flow
clown the stairs, out into the street, and
followed her at a little distance.
Tbo old woman fumbled in her pocket,
nml then drew forth a littlo note, which
Raymond snntched in his eagerness and
tore open. It contained only these few
words:
"My husband goes out of town to-day.
shall be at liberty to-morrow night and can
tee you. It will be the first and it must be
Iho last time."
Muvia then deseribed the place of meet­
ing. where she, the nurse, would be await­
ing him. Raymond kissed the note, ap.d
offered the old woman a purse, but she
spurned it from her, and in a quivering
voice said: "Sir, I am that girl's foster
mother, and that which I have consented
to do to please her may be a weakness, but
that which you are about to do is on in­
famy.
The next day Felix dropped into hi?
friend's room after a late breakfast, and
found him alternately tearing his hair and
breaking the furniture, looking the incar­
nation of rage and death. "Greatheavens?
What has happened?" he asked.
Raymond answered, grating his teeth:
"Accursed be military life! Accursed to all
time be this gilded slavery! Accursed be
the colonel, that brainloss despot? Ac­
cursed be the epaulettes, which, like a
chain, I cannot break! Accursed—"
"Hold" said Felix "don't waste time ours
ing every individual separately, rank and
tile. Have yon any trouble with the col­
onel?"
"Trouble?" echoed Raymond. ''Trouble!
He has destroyed the whole abppiness ot
my life. Take that and read it!"
He handed his Laura's billetdoux. Felix
read if.
"Wi 11?" he said, calmly.
"Well!" replied Raymond. "Am I not
the most unfortunate of men!"
"These lines would give me to under­
stand just the contrary."
"Hut do you not know that I am officer
ef the advance gua^d to-night," said the
younc lover biting his nails to the quick.
Felix laughed outright.
"And is this the reason of your violence
and despair? Cheer up man. I will take
your watch, and some time you can do duty
for me when it's my turn to want to be off
guard."
Raymond ptrained Ms friend to his heart
in t! a excess of his joy.
"Felix!" he cried, "my Felix! I be­
lieve you were born for my happiness! You
are the beneficient being who scatters flow­
ers over my pathway!"
At daybreak the next day iymond, pre­
ceded '.y u.3 unwilling guide of tho night
before (Maria), stole out of a small gate
and took his way to the city. His whole
bei.ig was permeated by happiness. He
trod lightly, his heart full of gratitude to
that dear friend who had enabled him to
ep the appointment which would be the
most cherished of his whole life. So ec­
static were his feelings that it was not until
he was close upon the city that he noticed
something strange in its appeaiance. There
nas an unwonted disorder on all around
which set him wondering. At last he met
a young lieutenant, who uttered an exclam­
ation of surprise and joy then rushed to
him and shook his hand, exclaiming: "How
Uiighted Lenna, I am to see you!"
"indeed!" said Raymond. "And why
are you so glad to see me tbifl morning of
sUotben?^
"Why? Because I understand you wore
the officer of the advance guard laBt night.
"And what then?" inquired tho captain.
"What thou? It is strange you do not
know! The English made a sortie laBt
night and the commander of the post was
killed."
"Meroiful God! Killed! Felix! Oh,
my friend you have died in my place—for
my sake!"
On a fine Sunday in 1833 fair ladies
flocked to a church that stood on the left at
the road. Gay was tho scene with youths
and maidens, but that which most ca ight
the eye of an Euglish artist was a group of
the common people oc the light cf the
toad.
They were listening to a bare-footed Cap­
uchin monk, who standing cn a mound of
earth, preaohed to his humble audienco
with such fervor and eloquence that his
whole face seemed diffused with divine light.
He was an old man. His cowl had fallen
back, exposing ahead aud face so noble in
outline that the artist draw forth his sketch­
book and began to sketch. An old Span­
ish peasant, standing by, looked over his
elbow as he worked, and at last burst forth
in praise of the lesemblunce:
"Ah!" he exclaimed, "it's a fine head
you have there but it would have been still
finer had you drawn it in his youth."
"Did you know him then?" inquired the
Englishman.
"Yes I was a private in his regiment.
Ah! I tell you he welded a valiant sword
in 1782."
"Why did the soldier turn monk?"
"Ah, that's along story of the long ago,"
"Tell it to me?"
The old man did not neod much urging,
and related the above story of the two
friends—how that after the one had died
for the other. Raymond only waited until
his country had no longer need of his good
blade to renounce the glory, wealth, a noble
name, and the world, to becomo a bare­
footed friar, begging his bread from door
to door.
"And the lady—what bocamo of her?"
asked the artist.
"When she learned that she had been
the indirect cause of a man's death, and
that her lover, a prey to remorse and grief,
would never look upou hor face agaiu, hor
reason left her. In her ravings she re­
vealed her secret, aud hor husband im­
mured her in a convent just opposite his
domain, where death soon relieved her of
her sufferings."
What's the name of yonder monk?"
"In religion. Brother Antonia by nativ
ty, Raymond do Lerida. An only son, he
inherited a princely fi itnue, which he gave
to the church and the poor.
You seo, after his guilty passion
had caused tho death of his friend there
was but two alternatives left him—cither
According to the census bullttin, Illinois
raised 51,000,000 bushels of wheat this year
Indiana, 47.000,000 Michigan, yo,(100,000
Iowa, 31,000,000 California, 20,000,(11)0
Missouri, 25,000,000, and Wisconsin, 21,

That we aro a silver-producing nation is a
fact that strikes one with great force, when
reading the Census Bulletin on mining. In
1855 the product, was $50.(K'0 in ISOOitwas
$150,000 in 1805 $11,000,000 in .870 it
was $10,000,000 in 18"5 it jumped to $35,-

in 1880 to $87,000,000.
A San Francisco jury has just refused to
convict a mate who swore at his seamen in
defiance of the orders of his captain, who
had prohibited the «mo. Judge Hoffman
(tho trial was in a federal court) charged
vigorously against tho prisoner, but two
men on the jury wero two much for ono

A Boston gentleman who has taken a

They teach exalted theology up among
the Green Mountains. A Vermont clergy­
man makes tho future of good Christians
clear by saying: "After crossing tho mystic
rivor we shall go on from the man to the
angel, from the angel to the archangel,
from the archangel to the celestial, from
tho celestial to the divine, and then, gather­

A ton cf gold or silver contains 29,100
ounces. A ton of gold is worth §602,875.
A ton of silver, at the present rate ptr
ounce, is worth $32,000. A cubic foot of
gold weighs 1,200 pounds, and is worlh
nearly $300,000. A cubio foot of silver
weighs GOO pounds, and is worth about
$10,000. The value of gold coin, bars,
and bullion in circula'ion in the world is
estimated at $3,500,000,000. This would
mako in a mass a twenty-five foot cube.
One-tenth of the work on the experimen­
tal tunnel under the English channel has
already been completed. The tunnel is
seven by nine feet in size, and when com­
pleted will be twenty miles in length. If
it proves a success, it will be enlarged to
dimensions Mifficient for tho past-age of rail­
way trains. The material through which
the work is pushed is chalk, and it is dis­
placed at the rate of about a lineal yard per
hour. The water in tho channel is about
160 feet deep at the deepest point, and the
tunnel is about 200 feet below the water.
The wonderful wooden tunnels cover
forty miles of the Central Pacific railway.
They are of two kinds, steep roofs and flat
joofs. They cost from $8,000 to $12,000,
and in some places $30,000 a mile. Fire
precautions are very thorough. At the
summit is an engine and tank always
ready to flood the ignited spot in an instant.
Sometimes five feet of snow falls upon mem
in a day, and often thirty feet lie on the
ground at one time, and in many places
snow accumulates to the depth of fifty feet
above those great wooden arches.
European papers are talking of the pos­
sibility of American wheat being evontually
driven out of the markets of Europe by
grain from Tunis. Land can be bought"in
Tunis, it is said, for half tho price it cont
in the Western States of the American
union, and it is so fertile that it will yield
two crops in the year. The quality of the
grain, moreover, is equal to that of the much
prized Hungarian wheat. Excellent horses,
though of a higher breed, can be bought
for a fractic*) of ths oost of horses in the
United States, and draught oxen for less
than one-half the American price. The
cost of transportation is also much less.
Northern Africa may yet become a formid­
able rival to American farmers.
The Hollanders ore more given to smoking
than any northern people—" dreaming with
the eyes open." The boatmen oL the
Terschkrit, the aquatic dilligence of Hol­
land, measures distance by smoke from
one place to another, not so many miles,
but so many piDes. Eutering the house,
your host offers
"you a cigar filling, another,
often insisting upon leaving your cigar- case.
Some go to sleep with pipe in their mouth,
relight it on wakening in the night, and in
the morning before stepping out of bed.
Diderot says: "A dutchman is a living
alembic." 'The cigar is not the companion
of indolence, but the stimulant and aid to
labor. Smoke is called their second breath,
and the cigar the sixth finger of the hand.
Belle Siddons was, at tho beginning of
the rebellion, one of the most beautiful and
accomplished ladies in St. Louis. Bhe was
southern in her sympathies, and was for a
time a successful spy during the war of the
rebellion. Detected finally, she was sent
to prison, and later was passed through the
lines. Later she married a gambler, and
for a dozen years she was a leading spirit in
gambling saloons in the far west, and has
probably had more stirring adventures than
any other living woman. Such a career al­
ways ends in wretchedness therefore, we
are not surprised to learn that she is now
living in Sin Francisco, drunken and mis­
erable, ao obieot to bo pitied Mid Ann

Ho cliosc the latter, and since then no one

The Englishman glanced at the "bare­
headed monk. Not a lino in his furrowed
face but spoko of virtuo and a heart de­
tached from worldly things.
"He looks as if ho had attained a peace
that passeth all understanding," said the
artist, putting his sketch-book in his pocket
and strolling away toward the convent.

HOUSE AND FARM.
A Variety ol Farm Items.
Mr. I. A. Hedges, the editor of the Syrup
and Sugar department of Colman's
Rural, reports larger and better products
of syrup and cane sugar by the Iowa and
Minnesota manufacturers than heretofore.
Of syrups tne crops have yielded from 125
to 225 gallons per aero. A Minnesota man­
ufacturer lias made 8,000 gallons, and is
about half done. He wholesales his syrup
at fifty cents per gallon. The St. ijouis
pork packers buy much of the Northwestern
crop for use in their business.
It is stated that Col. Daniel Murphy, of
Halleuk Station, Elko county, Nev. .posses
6f 4,000,000 acres of land lying together in
Mexico, 'jO.otlO acres in Nevada, and 23,000
acros in California. The Mexioo nnliions
v, ere bouyht four years ago for £40,000—
twopence half-penny per acre. This im­
mense estate is sixty miles long, and cov­
ers a beautifully diversified stretch of forest
and meadow. As a railway station is short­
ly to be opened within a dozen miles of
one extremity of these possessions, Col.
Murphy may era long confidently antici­
pate an appreciable mcrease upon the two­
pence half-penny.
Mr. Bueke, of Canada, calls attention to
the faot that tho raspberry mnv be trans­
planted at any time during"tho year, wheth­
er in full leaf or otherwise, if a good spade­
ful of earth is raised with the plant, the hole
iu which it is to be deposited having been
previously made. He usually fills up the
gap in the row with present year's young
plants during the month of August, and
finds Ihoy succeed bettor whon they have
time to take hold with their roots before the
season's growth is fully ended.
The composition of buakwheat has been
examined by M. C. Lechartier. He fouud
that the proportions of mineral matter in
the straw increases with the weight. The
straw may be richer in phosphoric acid than
the grain, differing in this respect com­
pletely from the straw of other cereals. The
aggregate of the principal fertilizers re­
moved from tho soil by on entire crop of
buckwheat is much more considerable thau
for a orop of wheat yielding the same quan­
tity of grain.
Too much talking or giving of advice is
not healthily conducive to worldly success.
Dependence on other men's ideas general­
ly ends in failure. A raw proposition, illy
digested, has been the ruin of thousands
of farmers. One should how out his own
horticultural path, aud though watching his
neighbors' plans, failures or successes,
should nover try to imitate half a dozen of
them at once. All this may seem trite and
worn and aphoristic, but it. bears directly
on the general subject of succcss in out­
door pursuits.
The 60-called American Sebrights aro a
new race of poultry which tho fanciers are
endeavoring to push into notoriety. They
are at present merely a mongrel raco, which
seems to have originated from a non­
descript kind of fowl, produced from a
cross of liight Brama oc a Silver-spangled
Hamburg. They very much resemble the
latter bird both in carriage, comb, and
plumage, but are larger amd heavier. It
does not appear that they are any better
than the kinds we have, and tho only rec­
ommendation they have is that they are
new, which, with some persons, is prefera­
ble to anything that is old and valuable.
The beginning of 11 ix culture iu Kansas,
says a writer in The liui al New Yorker,
dates back to about tho year 1870. Previ­
ous to that time tho principal crop of small
grain had been fall wheat, but tho yield of
that cereal was so uncertain and the crop
was attended with so many failures that its
cultivation gradually ceased in this part of
tho state. The introduction of flax sup­
plied the place of wheat, and the success
attending its cultivation soon led to a iwpid
incrcaso in the area sown to it, nnd it now
occr.pios a prominent rank in our ind ustries,
both in regard to tho number of acres
sown and remunerative returns for tho
labor expended.
Wliat is tlm Divided Skirt?
From the Liverpool Mail.
The opponents of the crinolotte have
taken advantage of the outcry against the
insidious pioneer cf tho crinoline to bring
forward tho "divided skirt" as a candidate
for popular feminine favor. The crinoletto
could not possibly be worn with the divided
skirt, any more than a man could wear such
a contrivance under his trousers. Vis­
countess Haberton is tho inventor of this
skirt, her idea being 4o consult the conven­
ience of women their attire. As she
says herself, the best means of doing this is
to make dress subservient to the laws of
phyGiology. Women have two legs, but by
tying 1
oth together in the senseless fashion
of the day they practically reduce the num­
ber to out'. 1'hoy leave themselves two feet
to shnfile about with,
lmt
do their best to
disable these with high heels, pointed toes,
nnd that dreadful invention, patent leather,
It is quite certain that a revolution in dress
of some kind is fast approaching, but it ap­
pears to be an equal chance between crino­
line and trousers.
Charcoal and Sulphur for Hogs,
From tho Rural New Yoilcer.
It is surprising to those not acquainted
with the fact to see how much crude sul­
phur pigs will eat whon fattening. It
should be given to them every few days or,
what is better yet, be kept in the pens
where they can help themselves to it. When
pigs are fed a large amount of hearfy food,
their stomachs become disordered nnd they
need sulphur and charcoal to neutralize the
acidity and to correct the condition of theii
stomachs. When it is given to them plen­
tifully they will eat better, digest more and
are freer from bowel disorders. Those cor­
rectives help to keep the blood pure and
the skin free from affections. When hogs
have these correctives their flesh must be
healthier. We have had hundreds of hogs
and never a case of cholera, which we at­
tribute to the healthful effects of plenty of
charcoal and sulphur together with succu­
lent feed. A long-continued corn diet will
invariably produce fever and more or less
inflammation of the stomach and bowels.
Kerosene Stoves—What Kind to Buy.
Prom thelluralNew Yorker.
Our family has had one in nse since May
1. The total amount of oil used, including
that burned in our lamps, has been 37 gal­
lons, costing $3.70. The cost of oil for the
stove has been therefore less than two
cents per day—cheap enough certainly.
The cooking has all been done on this stove
about six days in the- week, tho cook-stove
only being used for washing,heavy baking,
etc. We consider the kerosene stove one
of the greatest conveniences that has been
invented for years, one ttiat nearly every
family in this section that has enterprise
enough to tako the papers and
read them has availed themselves of.
A meal can be cooked on them
in about the same time it requires to get a
coal fire ready for cooking, and then if a
little hot water is wanted at anytime, as in
sickness, it can be had in a few minutes.
Another important consideration is, it does
not heat the room, an advantage that any
woman will appreciate during the summer
months. These stoves are now kept by all
hardware dealers in endless variety, so that
there is no difficulty in procuring what one
wishes. And now word of advice in
purchasing be sure and buy one of the
greatest heating capacity to be found, one
with four burners is the best. The largest
can be run as lightly as you wish, while a
small one will not do all you desire. I think
that our oil stove has saved us, in fuel, the
cost of,it already besides its great convience.
Fmni Girlhood to 'Woma'nhoM.
Prom tho Century Magazine.
There are two periods in the moral and
intellectual development of a girl which
cause the profoundest anxiety to a mother.
At five years old, or thereabouts, the period
of babvhood
ia
•"•wt, while the period of
girlhood is not yet reached, and, between
the two, oomes a time of anarchy and
chaos. The little soul is now bursting its
shackles, and trying to readjust itself to a
new condition. The child is ceasing to be
mere pet and plaything, and is beginning
to live an individual lif s. Nothing is more
common than to see a docile, well-trained
ohild suddenly develope, without any ap­
parent reason, a willfulness and insubor­
dination entirely at variance with its previ­
ous habits. The mother, who has been
dreaming of a sweet daughter who is to
walk beside her all her days, making life
fragrant and beautiful to her by sharing
with her all her youthful hopes, and
joys, and trnsts, turns heart-sick
at the naughtiness of the half
fledged termagant. For it is the good, cher
ubio little girl who usually manifests the
change: atpoiled QhUd i» to tfawOBghlj
disagreeable nil tho while that any acces­
sion of badnesB is not noticeable. A great
deal of self-condemnation and unhappy
foreboding would be spared the mother if
she would only recognize that much of
what is so
very
unlovely is not essentially
wrong—that it is merely what is good in a
state of unripeness. The fragrant blossom
has withered and fallen uway, leaving in its
place the hard and acid embryo fruit. A
wise mother will be very careful to distin­
guish between those qualities which prom­
ise evil in their developed form and those
which are mere crudities, and her aim will
be to foster all the unfolded possibilities in
her child's nature, and help to bring them
to a beautiful maturity.
Every one knows how tiresome and un­
attractive little girl usually is when she
has outgrown her infantile oweetness. The
little impertinences, the saucy retorts and
unflattering personalities which have won
for her smiles aud caresses, or at worst an
admiring reproof, all at once become intol
erable.and are rebuked with acerbity. The
very ways which she had been taught to
consider charming become subjects for dis­
pleasure when the baby roundness and
dimples are gone. Her sense of justice is
outraged, and the unw&rped sense of jus­
tice iu a child is often very strong. She
becomes a little Ishmael, her hand against
every man's, and every man's hand against
her. In a certuin Bense this can scaroely
be avoided, but, if the mother's love be
unfailing, and her sympathy always ready,
she can keep Bweet the fountain of love and
trust which, without that refuge might be­
come very bitter. Just when this new life
is uufolded, a mother's wise care is most
earnestly needed. The 6onl which has
seemed to draw its life from hers is begin­
ning to lead an individual existance. It is
to the perfect developement of this individ­
uality that the mother sheuld bend all her
strength. Each human soul contains with­
in itsolf tho germ of its own lifo. To make
of it all that may be made, the mother
only should guide the growth, leaving it
free-within the limits of moral probity to
grow into its fullest possibility. She can­
not lop it off here and there, or suppress
its erowth yonder, without maiming and
stultifying the whole nature.
The dangerous quicksands of this peri
od safely past, the mother beams to
breathe freely again. She again begins to
see visions, and to dream dreams, till the
the second and more serious season of an­
archy comes to try her faith. Childhood is
over, and womanhood is yet far away.
The whole being, moral, intellectual and
physical, is in a state of ferment. New
motives, now principles, now emotions, are
battling for predominance, aud, until these
relative claims are adjusted, no peace can
be hoped for. This second chaotic period—
which comes at abaut 14 years of age—lasts
longer, and brings a more hopeless and
radical overturning of that whioh had
seemed so firmly established. If a moth­
er's care were needed in the eailior change,
it is infinitoly more needed now. New
traits seem to be starting into life, new de­
velopments are manifested. Changes
not only in purposes and ideas are taking
place, but changes in temperament, in dis­
position, 'in tone are manifesting them­
selves. There is need of a wise hand
which shall guide without galling, a tender
heart which shall sustain without com­
promising with evil. To aid in the con­
flict and insure victory, nothing will help
a mother moro surely, nor direct her more
easily in this difficult task, than tho rec­
ognition that this, also, is merely a stage
of growth necessary to a full and perfect
development of her child's nature, and that
to her is intrusted tho privilege of foster­
ing tho growth, while sho shall be looking
to the end with the prophetic oye of love.

White or Brown Bread
From the Niaeteenth Century.
The oarliest agitator in the matter ob­
served two years ago, when traveling in
Sicily, that the laboring classes there live
healthily and work well upon a vegetable
diet, the staple article of which is bread
made of well ground wheat-meal. Nor
are the Sioiliaps by any means the only
people so supported. "The Hindus of the
northwestern provinoe can walk 60 or 80
tnllea day with no ether feed than
'chapatties,' made of the whole meal, with
a little 'ghee,' or Galan butter," Turkish
and Arab porters, capable of carying bur­
dens of from 400 to 600 pounds, live on
bread only, with the occasional addition of
fruit and vegetables. The Spartans and
Romans of old time lived their vigorous
lives on bread made of wheaten meal. In
northern as well a southern olimates we
find the same thing. In Russia, Sweeden,
Scottand and elsewhere the poor live chief­
ly on bread, always made from some
whole meal—wheat, oats or rye—and the
peasantry of whatever climate so fed
always compare favorably with our south
English poor, who, in conditions of in­
digence precluding them from obtaining
sufficient meat food, starve, if not to death,
at least into sickliness, on the white bread
it is our modern English habit to prefer.
White bread alone will not support animal
lifo. Bread made of the whole grain will.
The experiment has been tried in France by
Magendie. Dogs were the subjects of the
trial, and every care was taken to equalize
all the other conditions—to proportion the
qnantity of food given in each case to the
weight of the annual experimented, upoa.
andso fortE". The result was sufficiently
marked. At the end of 40 days the dogs
fed solely on white bread died. The dogs
fed on bread made of the whole grain re­
mained vigorous healthy and well nourish­
ed. Whether an orignally healthy human
being, if fed solely on white bread for 40
days, would likewise die at the end of that
time remains, of course, a question. The
tenacity of life exhibited by Magendie's
dogs will not evidently bear comparison
with that of the scarcely yet forgotten 40
days' wonder, Dr. Tanner. Nor is it by
any mean3 asserted that any given man or
child would certainly remain in vigorous
health for an indefinite length of time if
bed solely on wheat-meal bread. Not a
single piece of strong evidence has been
produced, however, to show that he would
not and in the only case in which whole
meal bread has been tried with any per­
sistency or on any considerable scale among
us—to wit, in jaiis—facts show such bread
to be an excellent and wholesome
substitute
for more costly forms of nutritious food.
Superstition of Southern Negroes.
A striking illustiation of the strong hold
which superstition still keeps npon the
Southern negroes and at the same time of
the coincidence which, to their narrow
minds, seem to justify a belief in the mys­
tery of charms and incantations has recent­
ly been offered in the course of a legal
trial in Sumpter County, S. C. This was
the case of the State against Henry John­
ston for the murder of John Daris on the
5th of last February. Johnston was in
love with Davis's wife and by the advioe of
a conjurer he resorted to various oharms to
secure her affeetion. Having succeeded is
4#?
ill-
this his next step was to remove her
buB-
band. For this purpose he procured a
charmed bullet and shot Davis dead. The
body was found and Johnston was arraigned.
To his surprise, and that of the negroes
who filled the court room, he was found
guilty and sentenced to be hanged on No­
vember 25. Ilis astonishment at this re­
sult was largely due to the fact that he had
procured from the oonjurer a charm war­
ranted to protect him from all punishment
for his crime. He still expects, however,
to be saved from iha gallows, being es­
tablished in this comfortable faith by tho
singular circumstances that during the
trial two of the jurors were taken suddenly
ill and had to be replaced by otheis, and
that within threo hours after he was sen­
tence the sheriff of the county, a robuBt mai
in the prime of life, dropped dead with­
out ippaaent cau«».
A PATHETIC STORY.
Natbjr hi Ireland,
Toledo Blade.
In oar party was an Amerioan gentleman,
who was pleased with an abundance of
boys, but no girl, and he and his wife had
been contemplating the adoption of a girl.
Here was an oportunity to secure not only
a girl, but just the kind of a girl that he
would have given half his estate to be the
father of. And so he opened negotiations.
An Irishman who kne ff him, expluined
to the father and mother that the gentle­
man was a man of means, x.Vat his wife was
an excellent, good woman, and that the
child would be adopted regularly under the
laws of the Btato in which he lived, and
would be educated, and would rank equally
with his own children in the matter of in­
heritance, and all that. In short, she was
made to understand that Norah would be
ruared a lady.
Then the American struck in. She, the
mother, might select a girl to accompany
the child across the Atlantic, and the girl
selected should go into his family as the
child's nurse, and that the ohild should
be reared in the religion of its parents.
Tho father and mother consulted loug
and anxiously. It was a terrible struggle.
On the one hand was the child's advantage,
on the other paternal and maternal love.
Finally a conclusion was arrived at.
"God help mo," said the mother. "You
shall have her. I know you will be good
to her."
Then the arrangements were pushed very
briskly and with regular Americun busi­
ness-like vehemence. The girl elected to
act as nurse was the mother's sister a
comely girt of 20. The American took the
ohild and rushed out to a haberdasher's and
purchased an outfit for her. He put
Bhoes
aud stockings on her, which wrsa novel ex­
perience, and a pretty little dress, and a
little bat with a feather in it. and a litie
sash and all that sort of thing, and he pro­
cured shoes and stockings for tho elder
girl and a tidy dress and a hat, and shawl,
and so forth. And then he brought them
back, instructing the mother that he should
leave with them for Cork the next morning
at 11, and that the girl and child should bo
dressed and ready to depart.
The next morning came, and the Ameri­
can went for his child. She was dressed,
though very awkwardly. The mother had
never had any experience in dressing
children, and it was a wonder that
Bhe
did
not get the dress on wrong side up. But
there she was. The mother wailed as ono
who was parting with everything that was
dear to her, the father lay and moaned look­
ing from Noi ah to the American. Time
was up. The mother took the baby in her
arms and gave it the final embraoo and the
long, loving kiss, the father took her iu his
arms and kised hor, and the other children
looked on astounded, while the girl stood
weeping.
"Goodbye," said the American. "I will
take good care of the baby," and taking her
from the mother's arms he started for the
door.
There was a shriek, the woman darted to
him just as he was dosing the door, and
snatched the baby from his arms.
"Drop the child!" said the father. "You
can't have her for all the money there is in
AmerikyV"
"No, sor," ejaculated the mother, half­
way botween fainting and hysterics, "I
can't part wid her I"
And she commenced undressing the
baby.
"Take back your beautiful clothes give
mo back the rags that was on her, but ye
can't have the child."
And the girl Bhe commenced undressing
too, for she did not want to obtain clothes
under false pretences, but the American
stopped the disrobing.
"Its bad for the ohild," he said, "but
somehow I can't blame yon. Yon are
welcome to the clothes, though."
And he left as fast as he could, and I no­
ticed that he was busy with his handker­
chief about his eyes for some minutes.

IIIUNII
by a
iii-llllaiit Yiuikuo'g Dash.
J. Esten Cooke, in the Philadelphia
Weekly Times, says: Mosby was seldom
defeated, and never outwitted to my knowl­
edge but once. The incident has never
been in print, I believe, and I am assured
that the partisan never related it,
it was so very mortifying. It is a
trifle, but may amuse the reader.
Colonel Mosby had crossed the
mountains with a few men into Clarke
county, when he was informed that a Fed­
eral officer with a squad of cavalrymen was
in the vicinity. The officer had stopped at
"Clay Hill," the residence of Mr. Whiting,
and Mosby made up his mind to capture
officer and men. His action was prompt,
as usual. He went to Clay Hill, captured
the Federal officer while he wa3 seated at
supper, and carried him oil prisoner to Up
perville, east of the Bine Ridge. There
had been nothing at all unpleasant abont the
whole affair. Mosby and his prisoner were
on the most friendly terms. The partisan
bad ridden his favorite gray mare on the
scout, and at Upperville was standing be­
side her ready tj mount, when the Federal
officer said:
"That's a superb animal, Colonel."
"Yes" was the gratified reply of the par­
tisan as he patted the mare's neck. The
officer sauntered closer.
"A very fine animal!" And throwing
himself into the saddle he disappeared at
full speed, and Colenel Mosby never again
saw his favorite gray mare or his prisouei.
FovertjT and Distress.
That poverty which is of the greatest dis­
tress is not of the purse but of the blood.
Deprived of its richness it becomes scant
and watery, a condition termed anemia in
medical writings. Given this condition,

and nervous debility, loss of flesh and ap­
petite, weak lungs, throat disease, spitting
of blood and consumption, are among the
common results. If yon are a sufferer
from thin, poor blood employ Dr. Pierce's

THE NEW SHEEP DIP
Perils «f the Deep*
From the Clifcago Inter Oce*n.
The world-renowned swimmer, Capt.
Paul fioyton, in an interview with a news­
paper correspondent at the seashore, relat­
ed the following inoiilents in his experi­
ence:
Reporter.—"Captain Boyton, you most
have seen large part of the world?"
Capt. Boyton.—"Yes, sir, by the aid of
my Itubber Life Saving Dress, I have trav­
eled over 10,000 miles on the rivers of
America and Europe have also been pre­
sented to the crowned heads of England,
France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Italy,
Holland, Spain and Portugal, and have in
my possession forty-two medals and deoo
raiions I have three times received th
order of bjnighthood, and been elected
honoray member of committees, clubs, or­
ders and societies."
Reporter.—"Wero your various trips ao
coin ponied by much danger?"
Capt. Boyton.—"That depends upon
what you may call dangerous. During my
trip down the river Tague in Spain I had
to "shoot" one hundred and two water­
falls, the highest being about eighty-five
feet, and innumerable rapids. Crossing
the Straits of Messina, I had three ribs
broken in a fight with sharks and coming
down the Souiane, a river in France, I re­
ceived a charge of shot from an excited and
startled huntsman. Although all this was
not vory pleasant and might
be termed dangerous, I fear nothing
more on my trip than intense cold for, as
long as my limbs are free and easy, and
not oramped or benumbed, I am all right.
Of late I carry a stock of St. Jacobs Oil in my
little boat,—(the Captain calls it "Baby
Mine," and has stored therein signal rock*
ets, thermometer, compass, provisions, eto)
—nnd I have had but little trouble. Before
starting oat I rub myself thoroughly with
the article, and its action on the muscles is
wonderful. From constant exposure I am
somewhat subjoct to rheumatio pains, and
nothing would ever benefit me, until I got
hold of thiB Great German Remedy. Why,
on my travels I have met people who had
been suffering with rheumatism for yeais
by my advice they tried the
Oil, and it cured them. I
would sooner do without food for days than
be without this remedy for one hour. In
fact I would not attempt a trip without it."
The captniu became very enthusiasts on
the subject of St. Jacobs oil, and we left
him citing instances of the curative quali­
ties of the Great German Bemedy to a par­
ty fuound him.

therein signal rockets, thermometer, compass,

starting out I rub mysell thoroughly with
tho article, and its aclion upon tho muscles is
wonderful. From constant exposure I am some'
what subject to rheumatic pains, and nothing
would over benefit mu until I bo' hold of this
Great German Remedy. Why, on my travels I
have met people who had been suffering with
rheumatism for years by niy advice they used
the Oil and it cured thera. I would sooner do
without food for days than be without this rem­

when we left him he was still citing instances of
the curative qualities of the Great German Bem­
