"An old bachelor ?" said Honora May
wood.
"That's what he told nie, just in so
many words," said Mrs. Pennypacker,
who stood on the threshold of her lest
room, with her head tied tip in a pocket
handkerchief, and a hair larooni in her
hand, wherewith she gesticulated, after
a tragic fashion, as she talked, while
Miss M:ywood, tall and slender as a
wild lily, stood in the hall, with a roll of
music under her fJia, and her slight
figure wrapped in a shabby shawl.
"And he's willing to pay me cash
price every Sunday. Xever attempted to
beat me down a penny, if you'll believe
it, my dear. "
"Why should he?" said Honora.
"Most jeople do, my dear," said Mrs.
Pennypacker. "A wrinkled old widow
like me, who has her living to earn, is
mostly fair game for" every body. Hut he
never objected to my terms. A real
gentleman, my dear every inch of him.
But he's a little particular I'm afraid."
"I suppose most old bachelors are,"
said Miss Mayvood, smiling.
"Yes, my dear yes," nodded Mrs.
Pennypacker. "But this gentleman is
beyond the average, I think."
"And if he is ?"
"Nothing," said Irs. Pennypacker,
making a dab with her broom-handle at
a stray moth miller which was fluttering
blindly against the garnet damask win
dow curtains; "nothing except that one
don't know where to have him. H
drinks only English breakfast tea, and
he wants his pie crust made with the best
Aldernev butter, instead of lard, as good
enough for other people; and he must
have ventilators to all his windows, and
an open grate instead of the base bum
ing stove, and I hope you'll not be of
fended, my dear but he particuLirly
dislikes a piano."
'Dislikes a piano?" said the little
music teacher, reddening hi spite of her
tself. "And he says, says he: 'I hope Mrs.
Pennypacker, that there is no piano in
the house. A piano,' says he, 'plays the
deuce with my nervous system, with its
everlasting turn, turn !' These were his
words, my dear. So I courtesies, and
says I: 'You'll not be troubled with one
here, sir.' And so, my dear, I"ll be
grateful if you won't mind doing your
praetiein' until he's out for LLs daily
walk from one to three, just as regular
as the clock."
Miss Maywood looked piteously up
into the landlady's face
"I will do anything to oblige you,
Mrs. Pennypacker," she said earnestly.
"I have not forgotten how much I am
indebted to you lth in actual money
and iu kindness, which money can never
repay."
And her soft blue eyes filled with tears
as she spoke.
"My dear, don't say a word," said Mrs.
Pennypacker, hastily. "You've been
sick and you've got a little behindhand,
and its quite natural you should be low
spirited now and then. But you musn'
get discouraged. Things will look up
after awhile. And you ore quite wel
come to stay on here until you are al le
to settle up your little account."
Honora Maywood sighed as she thought
how often her little advertisement had
lieen inserted in the d;tily newspapers,
without attracting the least notice from
the world of patrons and pupils. There
were so many "capable music teachers,
willing to give lessons at moderate
prices" nowadays and how was any one
to know how s aivly she needed the
money ?
And as time crept on and no pupils
came Honora began to ask herself
SeZ'iollsly whether she should go out in
some menial capacity or stay genteelly
at home and starve.
"Clothes, ma'am."
Honora started from her reverie as the
washerwoman's stumpy little girl banged
herself, like a human battering ram, up
against the door, with a preposterously
arge basket on her arm.
""Yes." said Honora, coloring. "Put
theiir4t!vn, Sally. But I I'm afraid
it isn't ouiivement to pay your mother
to-day."
"Mother didn't sav nothin' 'bout the
pay," said Sally, wiping lier forehead,
with a whisk of her feet, siiiilkng herself
nearly off her feet. "I was to leave the
clothes, with her 'umble duty, and she
'oped they'd suit : but it was that damp
on Monday and Tuesday as starch would
not stick. And she '(.pes you'll excuse
all mistakes, as they'll be done 1 letter
next time."
"I dare sny they are quite right," said
Honora, with a little sigh, as she mar
veled at this unexpected access of cour
tesy on the part of her Milesian laun
dress. But when Sally had stamped off down
stairs, "her flapping slippers beating a
sort of tattoo as she went, and Miss May
wood took oil" the fringed towel that cov
ered the basket of clothes, she gave a
little start.
"Shirts," said Hi mora, "and socks,
and turn-over collars, No. If!, and great,
big pocket handkerchiefs, like the sails
of a ship, and white vests, and goixl
niss me ! what docs it all mean? Mrs.
Mtdvey has st i;t me some gentleman's
wardrobe by mistake. I must send these
back at once."
But then Miss Maywood looked down
at the articles in gruve consideration.
"I never had a brotla r," mu-ed MNs
Maywood ; "and I can't remember my
father; but of this I am quite certain, if
I had either one or the other, I should
thank a girl to mend tin -ir dilapidated
wardrobes, if they looked like this. And
Mrs. M'.il .ey can't send b.-l'ore. night, a: id
fortunately I have nothing to do, so
1 11 just mend this poor yoiuig fellow's
clothes, whoever he may be. A half
starved theological hfud-nt, perhaps,
training for th PolyneM a.i Islands; or,
rnrhaps, ji newspaper report' T, or a pah
clerk under the dazzling skylights of
some dry goods pala.v. At ail events,
he's worse off than I am, for lv- can't
mend his own clothes, and I can."
And the smiles dimpl.-.l around non
ora Maywood's littl
bud of
mouth
w on
as she sat down to darn
tajes, and insert patches.
"He'll never know who did it," said
Honora to ht rself, "but I dare say he'll
be thankful ; and if one can get a chance
to do a little good iu this world, one
ought not to gnuk'e one's time and
trouble."
And as Honora stitched away she
mus -d sadly whether or not she ought
to accept a position which had offered
itself as assistant matron iu an orphan
asylum, where the work would be almost
unendurable, and the pay next to n 'thing,
wnn no hutiUnys or holidays.

"I almost think I'd rather starve," said
Honora. " But, dear m.-! starving is a
serious business, when one cone s to con
sider it face to face."
Sally Mulvey came ,tu.i j,ji;i,K .,,
blowing like a human whale in about two
hours.
"M .!h-r says Hi.-'s sent the wrong
basket," said she, breathli sslv.
"I thought it very probable, Sally "
said Miss Maywood.
"And mother's compliments," added
Sally, "anil she can't undertake your
filings no longer, Miss Maywood, 'cause
she does a cash business, and there ain't
nothing been paid on your account since
last June."
Honora felt herself turning scarlet.
"I am very sorry, Sally. Tell your
mother I will settle my bill as soon as I
possibly can."
Sally flounced out of the room red and
indignant, like an overcharged thunder
cloud, and poor little Honora, dropping
her head into her hands, burst into
tears.
" rretty girl, that very pretty," said
Mr. Broderiek, the old bachelor, to his
landlady.
'1V you mean "
"I mean the young lady boarder of
yours that I see on the stairs now and
then," said Mr. Broderiek. "Nice
figure big, soft eyes, like a gazelle.
lidn't some one tell me she was a music
teacher ?"
"That's her prof .-ssion," Mrs. Penny-
packer. 'ut there am t many pnpns
as wants tuition, and, poor little dear.
she has but a hard time of it."
"Huniphl" grunted Mr. Broderiek.
"What fools women re to have a regular
profession. If I had a daughter I'd
bring her up a self-supporting institu
tion." And Mr. Broderiek disappeared into
his room, in the midst thereof stood a
girl with flapping slippers, a portentous
shawl and bonnet, which had originally
been manufactured for a woman twice
her size.
"Who are you ?" demanded Mr. Brod
eriek. "Tlease, sir, I'm Sally the washer
woman's Sully !" was the response.
"And what do you want here?'Vaid
Mr. Broderiek.
"Please, sir, I've come to bring your
things," said Sally, chattering off her
lesson like a parrot. "And, please, sir.
her 'umble duty, and she 'opes they'll
suit, it was that damp and muggv Mon
day and Tuesday, as
wouldn't
stick; and she 'opes you'll excuse al!
mistakes, as they shall be done better
next time, sir please, sir."
"Who mended 'am ?" demanded Mr.
Broderiek, whose hawk eye had already
caught sight of the dainty needlework
upon his garments.
"Nobody mended 'em," said Sally.
"And mother says it's easy to see as the
new gent is a bachelor, on account ot the
s in his heels and toes, and strings
oil i::s ilickovs.
I can tell you who mended 'em,"
said Mrs. Pennypacker, "for I see her at
it, the pritty Miss Maywood ! And says
she, 'I don't know whose they are, Mrs.
Feunypackcr ; but,' says she, 'they need
mending, and a kiial action never conns
miss.' No more it does, sir, Lord bless
her !"
"Humph !" said Mr. Broderiek. "She's
rieht no more it dries. And she s a
regular scientist at the needle, is Miss
Maywood. Just look at that patch, Mrs.
1 eunypneker ! 'Euclid's geometry'
eouiilnt oroUuee a straieiiter line or
truer aiigi s. See the toe of that stock
ing ! It's like a piece of Gobelin tapestry.
That's the wav I like to see things done !"
And Mr. Broderiek never rested until
he had been formal! v introduced to
Honora Maywood, and he thanked
her with equal formality for the good
ollice she had unwittinedv rendered hisu.
It was a gold' n October evening that
Honora cam down into the kitchen,
where Mrs. IYi a iypacker w a s 1 inking pies
for her eccentric boarder, with the crusts
made of the best Aldernev butter instead
of lard.
"Oh. dear! oh, dear !" said Mrs. Pen
nypacker, "what a thing it is to be an
oid bachelor."
"He won't be a bachelor much longer,"
said Koiiora, laughing and coloring as
she laid her check on the good lady's
cushii uiing shoulder.
"What do you mean ?" said Mr. Pen
nypacker. "He has asked me to marry him," said
Honora, "after only two weeks acquaint
ance. He says that a girl who can mend
stockings as I do needs no other test.
And he says h" loves me; and and
"Well ?"
"I almost think I love him !" whis
pered Miss May wood.
And so the problem of Honora's soli
tary life w.is solved, ail through the magic
influence ot "Nc di and Thread."

baskets were at the end of the rows and

seven of tin se baskets in the field. Next

The farmer and his wife came riding
into town the other day in a big two
horse wagon, and the woman carried in
her arms a baby wrapped up in an old
bed quilt. As there was a good deal
more bed quilt than baby, the little one
slipped out and tumbled unhurt into a
soft place in the street, and the couple
og-ed on serenely unconscious that
anvthing was wrong until a bevy of small
boys chased after them yelling:
"Sav, mister, you have lost some
thing." 'ion't look round," said the woman,
nudging her husband. "It's tln ni city
boys, and they alius act jest so."
"S-a-v ! missis, be this yours !" shout
ed the boys in chorus.
"Hain't you dropped nothin'. Sue?"
inquired the farmer, anxiously.
"No, I haven't," answered his wile.
"This ain't the fust of April, is it? It's
just them city young uns up to their
tricks." she continued, shifting the bed
quilt a little; then she felt its emptiness.
"Liord a massy w here's the baby gone
to ?"
They both looked back and then saw
a crowd of boys swarming at the end of
the wagon, and in their midst a happy,
dusty baby, delighted with the situation.
It didn't take them long to recover the
youngster, and, wrapping it more se

Within a few weeks a young man well
known in this city, was married to the
lady of his choice. He loved her dearly,
and determined to pay the minister lib
eraliv for the service that united two
hearts that boat as one. When he put
on his wedding clothes, he counted out
one roll of bills for the minister and
another to pay the expenses of the wed
ding trip. After the ceremony he
thanked the good elerevmau in fitting
terms and handed him a roll of bills,
but, alas, the wrong roll. The minister,
on his return to his home, was surprised
at the muniheenee of his fee, but, "for
tunately, being an honest man," he
hastened to the depot, and succeeded in
arriving there before the train with the
young couple 1-fi, exchanged the wed
ding trip money for the intended fee,
Tind received the thanks of a confused
but grateful husband.

.TOIIX HEATIK OTE's SAD CflKISTMAS EVE.
"Mamie is dying."
These were the words that the telegraph-key
clicked out upon the silence
that had fallen upon the station of which
John Heathcote was in charge. It was
Christmas eve, and for nearly four hours
the man had sat there, the only occu
pant of the little room in which his busi
ness as telegraph operator and depot
master was transacted. He had listened
in ti mechanical sort of way to the mes
sages that were flashing over the wires
orders concerning the movements of
trains, brief commercial messages, tail
ing in terse language the state of the
markets in all parts of the world, Christ
mas greetings from friends and relatives
who sought to make separation less pain
ful by an interchange of kindly words
and sentiments and iu the midst of
them all came those three words to his
cilice three little words that meant sor
row and desolate hearts iu some house
hold on the morrow, that day when
peace, and joy, and good-will should
reign everywhere supreme. And so, as
John Heathcote placed the message in
in envelope and sent it by his ollice-boy
to ,-m address with which he was not
familiar, there was, perhaps, the sus
picion of a tear glistening in his honest
eye, and mayhap the hand that penned
the address trembled a little, for he had
wife and children of his own, had John
Heathcote, and it came to him with
awful force how cheerless his life would
be were one of the little pairs of arms
that each morning twined so lovingly
around his neck to lie folded across a
heart that was stilled forever, and the
deep brown eyes to be closed in the
dreamless sleep of death. And while he
was still thinking there came again the
nervous click of the instrument, and as
he answered the call he felt instinctively
that the message he was to receive would
bring more bad news. And he was
right.
"Mamie is dead ; I home in will be
the morning," were the words that came
to him over the wires, and then the tears
in honest John Hcathcotc's eyes were
plain enough, and he was not ashamed
that he had wept at the sorrows of peo
ple all unknown to him.
When the morning train from the
West came thundering into the little
town where John Heathcote lived, he
was standing upon the platform. His
hours of duty had ended some time be
fore, but he could not bear to leave until
he had seen the man whose name was
signed to the dispatches of the previous
night. A sleigh had come to the depot,
and the driver had said incidentally that
he was to meet Mr. Jones. When the
train arrived, a weary-looking nam
stepped from one of the ears, and the
driver of the sleigh approached him.
John Heathcote was standing within a
few feet of them.
"Good morning, 3Jr. Jones," said the
dri v. -r.
"Good morning, John."
"So -Mamie is dead?" asked the man.
"Yes," was the reply, iu low, agonized
tones ; "and she would have beaten 2:e!()
next season."
John Heathcote went awav.
The Cleve: 'dale 3iystery.
The New York Il'iiir gives us the
plot of the new political novel, "Clever
dale,'' as follows : The romance hero of
the story is George Aldeii, clerk in -the
C'leverdale Bank; the political hero, or
demon, is Hon. Darius Hamblin, Presi
dent of th" bank and of a large woolen
mill, member of the State Senate and
aspirant to the Governorship. Ald-n
loves Hand din's daughter. Belle, but the
Senator intends to use the young lady
as he has used his money, social posi
tion and every thing else, for the further
ance of his political schemes. Mr.
Walter Mannis, a brilliant member of
the Assembly and reputed rich, is de
sired by the Senator as son-in-law, and
as Mannis is quite willing to accept the
position, the Senator gets rid of Al.kn
by hiring a recent political servitor to
falsify Aiden's accounts at the bank.
The trick is not entirely to the Senator's
taste, hardened politician though he is,
for Al.len had distinguished himself by
saving some lives during a disastrous fire
at the mill, injuring himself terribly by
the operation; but political schemes
must be etlected though the heavens fall,
so Aldeii disappears, an alleged defaulter.
Even the young lady's affections cling to
him, so Mannis, who is desperately in
love with the girl and the lather's sup
posed wealth, robs a grave and drossi s
the body in tin old suit of Aiden's clothes.
Tne body is found, the heart-broken girl
consents to marry Mannis, but Aldeii, of
course, returns in the nick of time to
forbid the bans, the old father relents
and all ends happily.

Manures, anfl Their Application.
Essav l,v Jowph T). Th,e, Esq.. real be
fore the Farmers" Club, Rowley, Max., Decem
ber, lssi
Any substance that will furnish food
for the promotion of plant growth may
properly be called manure. The most
available of these substances, to the
average farmer, is stable manure, ashes,
fish, and the various chemical fertilizers
found in the market.
Chemists tell us that the liquid ma
nure from our stable is far more valua
ble than the solid. If so, how to save it
becomes an important .question with
farmers. For some twenty years I have
used dry muck for this purpose, believ
ing it to be the best available absorbent
I can get. The muck is thrown out dur
ing the summer, and allowed to lie over
winter exposed to the disintegrating
action of frosts and heat. It is then dry,
fine and very light and in the best possi
ble condition to absorb the liquids and
washings of the barnyard and out build
ings. I have used muck because it is the
most convenient absorbent to be had iu
our section. If I had a sand pit near by
I should certainly use that, as from
some experiments I have tried I believe
if to be better for our clay land than
muck. While muck litis a very great
capacity for absorbing liquids, it is a
non-conductor of heat, greater even than
sawdust, a small pile of muck, as it is
thrown out, sometimes retaining the
frost until June. J am satisfied that if
the lining of my ice house was filled
with muck, the ice in contact with the
boarding would never melt. Sand, on
the other hand, is a good conductor of
heat. It warms up readily, and conse
quently is more beneficial to our cold
land. Seven years ago I plowed up a
piece of low lying pasture and hauled a
large quantity of sand from the tnp of a
hill near by, and spread it upon the
same. It was then leveled and bone
dust at the rate of 800 pounds to the
acre applied. Last season I cut the
sixth crop of English hay from it, and
although the quality had deteriorated
somewhat, the crop was a' very good one.
I have reason to think that the six crops
of hay have well repaid the labor ex
pended upon it.
Quite a number of years since I hauled
a large quantity of clay taken from the
road-side, and applied it to a piece of
light land. The increased productive
ness of the land showed that it had re
ceived considerable benefit, but hardly
euough to pay for the labor of drawing
so much heavy clay up hill, although
the distance was small.
Several years ago it was my good for
tune to meet with a gentleman at the
"New England Agricultural Society's
Fair" who had a hobby, and that hobby
was muck. He believed in it. lie
worshiped it. Muck was the grand
regenerator of the sterile soil of N. E.
Farmers would no longer lie obliged to
work all summer to get fodder to keep
a stock of cattle through our long cold
winters, for animal manure was no longer
a nee.ssity. Under the benign iuilu
ence of muck our barren hillsides would
blossom as the rose. He had talked so
long and ably that his voice had ac
quired ati oily- smoothness suggestive of
the unet-ious, slimy, slippery mass of
muck as it is taken dripping from the
ditch. He thought, or rather knew,
that he could t all the value of muck by
its coior, and that one kind of rotten
wood made a more valuable manure than
another kind of rotten woud. That
muck from the deposits of a coniferous
forest growth was less valuable than
that from ti deciduous forest growth. In
short, he talked sTglibly that ha half
convinced me that he was right. I deter
mined to experiment upon muck. The
year before I had bought tw-thirds of
tin acre of worn out field, land ; it yielded
thirteen small cocks of hay. Upon this
field I spread a good dressing of dry
muck as tine as ashes. The next year I
cut the same, quantity of hay, a large
admixture of sorrel, and the third year
the results were the same, or thirteen
cocks of hay. It didn't pry! I then
spread a dressing of ashes during the
winter. The succeeding season the
crop was doubled. That paid !
For twenty years I have used from
thirty to one hundred loads of muck pel
year. I use it solely as an absorbent, as
I believe from experiments I have tried
that it has little if any manurial value
when used upon my land iu its natural
condition. But it is a costly way to save
the liquids ; a better way must be de
vised. I think of building a cistern
large enough to hold all the liquid
manure we have, put a pump in it, and
use a street sprinkler, and apply it to
the growing crops of grass.
I know of a pasture in a neighboring
town that was literally covered with
muck. The hind was hilly, with light
sandy or gravelly soil. That land did
not produce much but swill for several
years, and now is no better pasture than
that adjoining, upon -which no muck has
been applied.
Dr. Nichols tells us that muck con
tains ninety per cent, water. That one
ton of muck, wafer free, contains J'.blO
lbs. of nitrogen. For convenience sake
we will call it 50 lbs. Thus iu 10 tons
of muck as taken from the ditch we get
50 lbs. of nitrogen or one-fourth of one
per cent, a mere trace." A combination
of nitrogen and hydrogen i irnis amm uiia,
one of our most valuable plant foods.
The extremely small quantity of nitrogen
contained in the muck may account for
the unfavorable result of my experiment.
It is very generally admitted by
chemists thai ou'V I'aiu carries v ith it
to the earth some' portion of the nitrogen
contained in atmospheric air, and as four
fifths of the enormous envelope of air
surrounding the earth consists of
nitrogen, the quantity carried to the soil
by rains in one season, may be larger
than the nitrogen contained in till the
muck we could have in a lifetime.
Years ago I used to make a practice
of throwing over manure. I thought 1
must do it hi order b raise satisfactory
crops, and now, ll I sliouai nice an acie
of land for one year, and had to find
manure myself, J should certainly throw
it over until it was completely pulverized,
so that the grow ing- crop should get the
whole, if possible, of the plant food con
tained iu that laaiinre. But U' we own
the land what is the use of spending so
much labor ? The manure is in the land
and we will get it sooner or later, lam
not particular about getting my pay
evei'v Saturday night.
My 'plan for raising corn for several
years has been to plow in my green ma
nure, then apply a small quantity, say a
quaiToc so of manure from the pig pen,
era tablespoout'ul of phosphate to the
hill. In this way I get very good crops.
Last y ear my corn w here phosphate was
applied was as g I as that manured
from the lng pen, with this advantage:
Where phosphate was used there were
no weeds in the hills, and consequently
nohaud hoe was used tit all. All the
l.oeiug; was done with Hie hor-e hoe, and
t he land w as remarkably el "an. ( hi the
other hand where hog manure was used,
there were some weeds that the hoc
couldn't reach, and consequently, we
had to use th" hand hoe.
If we would save labor, we inu--t
spread our aniiii.il manure, Ihoroiighly
mix it with the soil, and then use phos
phate in the hill, then the horse hoe will
do the rest of the work.
I believe in composting manure, but I
would do it with horse-power, with the
plow and harrow.
Thoroughly work the land with the
plow and harrow. Plow and harrow
twice at least, three times will better
mix the manure with the soil thoroughly
and it will pay. We have enough inert
mntt- r in our fields already, and I don't
believe it will pay to haul much of it for
any distance to mix with manure.
Different kinds of soil require different
methods of treatment. Because a cer
tain course of management gives good
results upon my land it doesn't follow
that equally favorable results will be ob
tained with the same treatment upon my
neighbor's land.
For quite a number of years I have
used quantities of ground bone in laying
down grass land. It works well on
heavy clay land, but on sandy or light
soil it will not give as good results.
Chemical attraction is that power
which forces the particles of bodies of
different kinds to combine and form a
new compound. This force is called af
finity. From an experiment that I once
tried, I am of the opinion that sandy
loam, soil or muck has an nltinity for
fertilizers of till descriptions. If you w ish
to try the experiment, take a tight flour
barrel, bore a hole in the bottom and put
in a plug. Then lay some sticks and a
layer of hay, now fill up the barrel with
dry earth or dry muck. Make a hollow
in the top ami pour in several pailfuis of
liquid manure from the bam yard. Let
it stand for a while, and then draw off
the water. If the barrel has been prop
erly arranged, the water drawn will 1 o
found to be nearly pure, beeausa the
loam hits a greater aiiinity for the fer
tilizing elements held iu solution than
tin; water itself. People tell us that
hind will leach, that the rains will wash
out the plant food contained in the soil.
Perhaps they will after the land has
been filled with manure, for there is a
limit to its capacity for appropriating
plant food; but we may rest assured that
until then the hungry soil will stick like
a poor cousin to the fertilizing elements
held by- the water ill solution.
I have used commercial fertilizers to
some extent and with good success, for
the crops grown with their aid have been
satisfactory, but I think the prices
charged put them too high. It seems
to me that farmers should make these
fertilizers or rather prepare them
themselves. The best superphosphates
sell for s;J 5 per ton. Dr. Nichols tells
us that they can be made for one half
this amount per ton. Bone charcoal can
be bought by the quantity of sugar re
liners for ;s'J0 to S23 per ton, oil of
vitriol, or sulphuric acid, for S"5 per
ton. To make a ton of superphosphate
it will take about 1,500 pounds of bone
charcoal, three or four carboys of sul
phuric acid, and forty gallons of water.
According to Dr. Nichols, this will
make a high grade superphosphate,
probably better than most of the phos
phates to be had of agents, for ,45 per
ton.
The constituent elements that go to
make up special fertilizers have a com
mercial value and tire always to be
found in the market, sis much as sugar
or molasses. By clubbing together,
farmers can buv them tit wholesale
During
our ew
England win
ters there is plenty of time for making
these fertilizers, besides this offers mi
additional inducement for farmers to
study agricultural chemistry. I have
used enough of commercial fertilizers to
know something of their value, and am
satisfied that if they could be procured
at one-half or two-thirds their present
juices, farmers could afford to use them
freely, and greatly increase the profits
from their farms.
Woman Suffrage.
On the subject of woman suffrage,
Gov. Butler, cf Massachusetts, in his
inaugural message says: "For myself
I believe that that right is given them
by the constitution of the United States.
By the decision of t.ie courts I am over
niled in my action on this subject, but
not ir. my convictions. It ;.s an experi
ment iu our government which has
never been here practically tried, for al
though women are allowed to vote for a
fiugle class of municipal officers, yet
there are so ma y restrictions and im
pediments thrown around it, that no wo
man with a proper spirit of self-r speet,
ought to allow herself to pass through
the ordeal to attain a useless privilege."
lie suggests that eleinion day be made
a holiday, and that local elections
throughout the State be so arranged
that till will fall on the same day as the
general elect kn. (.hi the subject of
naturalizatinn he advocates that every
judge of a district or municipal court
have the power to issue cert i tic dee of
naturalization, and is in favor of con
liiiing it even to them, for they as neigh
bors are belter able to decide from
knowledge whether the facts ate true in
the application. It will relieve the
dockets f the higher courts: and iu
closing on the topic he adds that, till the
systematic frauds in naturalization al
leged and proved in a neighboring State
were done in the superior courts of that
State.
A Physician's Story.
Among the papers left behind him by
a German physician who died a few
weeks ago is one containing notes of cer
tain conclusions he had arrived tit dur
ing a professional experience of more
ih an forty years. In one of these not.-s
he expresses an opinion that at least a
third of the illnesses of the patients who
sought his advice were purely imaginary.
He found it not only against his own in
terest, but also against that of the self
alleged sufferers, lo destroy the illusion
by informing them that tin-re was really
no cause for anxiety. Ill h; tilth wa.s to
tin m a matt, r of almost vital import
ance. To destroy (he pleading belief
that they possessed this bh ssing was an
absolute cruelty. In the few instances
in which he broke to Hum the teiribk
truth that they were quite well he found
that the result was genuine illness. For
the patients, all interest in life depart, d
with I heir favorite occupation of nursing
themselves, an,! their health became se
riously infected by nervous depression,
i le also found that, as a rule, weakly pi r
so'is live longer than strong ones. With
out going so far as tn say that the best I
lives are those reeet,-,t i y tne insurance

Early Marriages in England.
Early marriages are nowhere so com
mon as in the prosperous manufacturing
districts. Boys and girls not out of their
teens, but earning big wages and having
their feeling of independence prema
turely developed by the absence of home
life, get united in wedlock at a time of
life when, in the higher ranks of society,
they have not left school nor begun to
think of a calling. Saturday is a favorite
day for getting married, because it is a
short one, and the ceremony can be got
through with a minimum of loss a thing
certain to be considered by a thrifty op
erative. The town is paraded for a few
hours in cheap tawdry thiery of glaring
colors, which can never serve any useful
purpose again; perhaps one of the watering-places
is visited if it be fine; and on
Monday morning, by- the stroke of six,
the newly-married couple may be found
at their looms in defiance of till poetry
and romance, and the wear and tear of
life begins with them once more in earnest.
Marriage makes no alteration in the
position of the wife so far its mill-work is
concerned; she puts in her ten hours a
day now as she did before. Indeed, she
has incomparably the worst of the bar
gain, for, when the day's work is over, it
is her privilege to light the fire at home,
get the supper ready, and do the neces
sary household work, while it is the pre
rogative of the husband to use his leisure
according to his own sweet will. Wnen
the time comes for the baby to lie born,
the mother-expectant withdraws from
the mill for a few weeks, and when she
is well enough to resume her place at the
loom the baby is placed in the care of
some old crone, who is past work herself
and ekes out sufllcient to live on by tak
ing charge of live or six of these luckless
babies for the consideration of a shilling
or two a week, according to the age.
