FAllM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.] I ?nrm Note*. If any family will, for a season, keep nu account of the value of the products nsi\t from their garden, at the price at which they are furnished at the nearest irrocery, they will certainly be aston isheil at the amount they have saved, n?ide from their increased freshness anil uiauty. It is very fortunate for the consumers of ra<?at that, in order to manage land, farmers are obliged to keep cattle, sheep, < igs, "tc.; and with an increased quan (!ty of stuck. I b^Hrv1 there would be an increase iu the other productions of the farm, by which the consumers would be benefited. Grapes cannot be grown from single leaves, but tho voutig growth, when t ikeu from vines grown under glass, cau bo mado to r^ot very readily. Tho proper method is from single eyes on bottom heat, or in tho open ground. Layering is also employed when the number c: young plants desired is limited. Lander Wetlierell, editor of tbo Bos ton Cultivator, said : To those about to begin breeing cross breeds or grades, would say, whatever be the rac? or breed which the race selected may belong, ob servations aud experience incline mo to recommend shorthorn bulls as prefer nblo to any other breed or race, unless ifc be the Holsteic. Not less than three bushels of blue gras.< should bo sown on an acre. It is ) ot best to mix anything with the seed, [ but sow it broadcast carefully, in cast ings not more than four ft et wide. Ai very still day must be chosen'to do the work, sis a light wiud would cause the f-cf d to drift. Blue grass s.-ed is 'worth in tho Now York market $2.">0 a bushel ?f fourteen pounds. Left-Handed. ?A mother writes thati her son in left handed, and asks "if it : will be an injury to him when grown if! he continues to write with his left hand." I Left-handed persons suffer from a ccr- j tain inconvenience in being in this re spect unlike most other people, but it does not amount to> an injury. 0'ir foremost educators say that both hands should be alike educated, and might bo, if parents and teachers would be at tho Dains of renuirinsr children to bo am bidexters. One of our prominent gen- I orals in the late war lost bis right arm, ' rind writes a very legible backhand with ! his left hand. Olitenseii In AniinaN. Mr. T. S. Gold, secretary of the Con nection'; board of agriculture, read a paper before the Vermont dairymen's as sociation on "Contagious Diseases in Animals, and the Laws of tho New Eng land States for their Preventioa." The improvements of modem times, he said, havo brought with them also penalties. Tho facilities of transportation have been so increased that contagious diseases in men and animals have traveled the earth's surface more readily than formerly, and visitol localities far removed from their origin. This is true not only of diseases, 1 >ut also of plant and animal pests. The Norway rat, fifty years ago confined to onv seaport cities, is now found every- j where. We can recall the Hessian fly j and Canada thistle of Revolutionary j times, and tho more recent Illinois yel- I low daisy and Colorado potato bug. The | paper, however, had more to do with j diseases, and Mr. Gold said he would j not attempt to cive a bistorv of any of i the great contagious diseases, but would fonfine himself to well known instances of their ravages. "Catching" diseases are those which arise either from remote < >r direct contact with diseased animals. These are plainly preventible, if we only prevent the action of tho cause. Addi tional interest is given to our inquiries from the fact that human health is in a great measure dependent on that of our domestic animals. The glanders and foot and mouth diueases produce similar and sometimes fatal results in the human subject. General observations of physi nia-na lintrn elmtxrn t.Vmf. r?nvf nin r?l{jR?iAH nf diseases in a virulent form prevail to a greater extent in a country where pleuro pneumonia has raged among the meat stock. Others follow rinderpest; and (his is not where the meat is found pois onous and consequently pronounced un f'.t for food, but allowed for human con sumption. Wo should be careful to erect safeguards against these diseases. To do this we must have somo knowl edge of diseases. The study of disease in animate is very much the samo as in man. Every ono who has charge of ani mals should have knowledge enough to discover disease when it exists, and its nature. Ilonnchold Recipes. Measure Cake.?Two eggs, one cup pugar, half a cup of creara, half cup of butter, two and one-half cups of flour, }iilf a nutmeg, and one-half teaspoonful of soda. Let it be-thoroughly beaten, and add tho soda last. Bake nearly an hour. A Plain Sauce.?This sauce will be found excellent, aud quite good onough for ordinary use. It is made by cutting a largo head of celery fine, and boiling it till soft in a pint of water. Thicken it with butter and flour, and season it with i^alt, pepper and mace. Delicious Drop Cake.?One pint of cream, three eggs, and some salt; thick en with fine rye till a spoon will stand upright in it, and drop on a well buttered iron pan. which must ba hot in the oven. They may bo made thinner and baked ia buttered cups. Egg Balls.?Boil five fresh eggs quite hard, and lay them in cold water to got cold. Take the yolks out and pound them smoothly with the beaten yolk of ono fresh egg; put a little cayenne and Rait, roll the mixture into very small balls and boil them for two minutes. Half a teacupful of flour can be worked up with the egge. Ikdian Trifle.?Boil n quart of new milk with a large stick < f cinnamon ; thicken it with rice.flour, ?rst moistened with cold milk, and sv/teten to your taste. Pour it into a dish, and when mlil mit if, into thn aVmriA of f> stnr nr any other shape you please; take out tho rice and fill the shape with custard. Oftament with slit almonds and spots of currant jelly. Pea Socp.?After well washing one quart of split pon^, soak them for the night and boil tlu-m with a little car bonate of soda in jmt sufficient water to allow them to br< ak to a mash. Then put them to three or for: quarts of beef 1 iU .1 ~L / } XI 'T iiruiu, ami sww lor iiuu iuur ; men puss the whole through a sieve and heat r.gain. Season with salt and pepper. Ouo or two small heads of celery, sliced nnd stewed in it, will be found a great improvement. Frr.lt Gnrtleu. Make use of mild days for pruning grapevines which were left during the hurry of the fall work, and apply ashes r>r ground boneo between the rows. Have the wood for cuttings. Thfl i-s n trnn/1 Hmn fn nmnp such trees ac need it, as the shape and general direct ion of the branches is readily soen now that the leaves are off. Where f he branches tonch, and the bark is in jured by rubbing, one of the branches should be cut out, or the two may be spread, apart and tied so that they win * not interfere. Have ready labels, grafting wax, etc., for use in the spring. Strips of calico or thin muslin looseiv rolled tipou a stick f>nd dipped in melted grafting wax ure the most convenient forms in which to use the wax. Prune currants and gooseberries any time before the buaa swell. Making Tea. A Chinese doctor sajs that Americans boil tea, and thereby lose the flavor, whilo the Chinese fhake it by infusion. They plaoe a small quantity of tea leaves in a bowl, pour boiling water upon it and then cover tho bowl. The strength of the tea depends on the time the tea is .allowed to draw. "And," said the speaker, "when making an infusion do not boil the water hastily at first. Milk or sugar should never be used with tea. The (*oosebone and the Weather. The Lonisvillo Commcrcinl says: The gooseboue predictions ai o perhaps more closely watched in Kentucky than anywhere else, and it may bo called the Kentucky weather prophet. Wo must take the breast bone of a last spring's goose?none other will do, for the 1 ill 1 xl- _ prophecy does not exrenci ueyouu me i year in which the goose is batched. It must bo divided into three different parts, which represents tlio three divis ions of winter. The breastbone of a goose is translucent, but at places has cloud-like blots upon it. Theso blots denote cold weather. Looking at tho bone before us, we fiud a little cold weather about the first of December, which we have realised, and there is an other blot beyond the center of the boue, denoting cold weather about the middle of January; this cloud wo are passing now, and so far our little prog nosticator has guided us right. We are to have warmer weather after a few days but the worst is to come. Tho darkest blots are near tho end of the bone, and if the prophecy fails not, winter will verify tbe paying of coming in like a lamb and going out liko a roaring lion Our coldest weather will come after the middle of February, and our warmest iires will bo required for the parting days of winter and the first days of spring. This is the goosebone prophecy, and as we have the word of a good old farmer that it has not failed for fifty years, we would adviso the lading in of a good supply of coal and general preparations to meet cold weather?for the goosebone has said it, and old winter will bo after young spring with a big icicle. An Eccentric Englishman. Some months since an Englishman named Atkinson bought a country place 1 near Pithiviers, in Franco. For many , weeks thereafter carpenters auil masons j were busily employed in repairing aud : altering tho chateau; and after their ) work had been completed, Mr. Atkinson I issued invitations for a lai'go dinner j party to all tho most prominent families ; j in tho neighborhood. Tho guests ar- j rived at six o'clock, and on taking their j, seats at the dinner table noticed with ! j surprise that there was not even one ser- | ] vant to be seen. Tho soup was con- j, sumed in silent astonishment. When all j ( had partaken of it, the host sounded a j ( whistle, and as if by magic the soup ,, plates disappeared, and three magnifi- , cent silver platters, each containing a , roast goose, appeared. Little cries of , terror were heard from the ladies. Mr. ( Atkinson took no note of his guests' sir-1 prise, but remarking that it was a very j warm evening, whistled again, and the j wholo ceiling disappeared, the host's j black coat vanishing at the same mo- ; ment, leaving him clothed in a white , suit. Tho guests, alarmed, wero about I to rise from their chairs, when they found : themselves, their chairs and the table i raised five feet above tho floor. They, however, were soon lowered again to the i floor, and all took refugo in hastv flight; from the demoniac abode. A judicial ! investigation was instituted, and it was j found that Mr. Atkinson had been for ; ten years the chief machinist at Covent Garden theater in London, where he had | amassed a nice little fortune. The din- ! nerwas alittle frealc to indulge his fond- I ness for bis "old pursuit. Jury Cases and Libel Snlts. i Among the bills introduced into the New York Legislature is ono entitled "An act to protect the right of trial by jury," which contains the foil owing pro- i visions: In no action, civil or criminal, I hereafter tried with a jury, shall the ! judge who presides at the trial, by inti- [ mation or expression, submit to the jury | his own opinion upon the weight of the j evidence which has been produced be- i fore them, or as to what should be their j verdict upon such evidence, except in ; sucn cases wnere oy lawne is autnorizeu to direct a verdict. Another bill of general interest re- j lates to the law of libel, and is as fol lows: Iu all actions for libel or slander in which issue shall hereafter be joined, the plaintiff shall have the right after having served notice of trial, and upon i two days' notice to the defendant or his | counsel, to move before any judge hold-1 ing the chambers in the court in which ! any such action is brought, to have J such action set down for trial for some ' day certain, which shall not be less than ! thirty dtiys or more than ninety days thereafter, and it shall be the duty of any such judge before whom the application I is made to grant nn orr^T complying with this provision, nud it shall be the I duty of the clerk of the court upon J wlmm crrnh Ar/lnv ics cmtrorl fn -nlnoA flnMi action 011 the day calendar of tlie day in- i dicated in such order. Fourteen Millions in Silver. An additional vault is to be construct- j ed in the sub-treasury in New York to ; make room for the silver coinage so fast ! accumulating in all parts of the United j States. Tho amount reported in Nov; York is .$3,500,000 ; Boston, $4,000,000; I St. Louis, ?700,000; Philadelphia, $500,- j 000; Baltimore, $100,000; San Fran-j cisco. $300,000, with over $3,000,000 at j the mints, and $1,000,000 at Cincinnati, i Chicago, Charleston, and New Orleans, j There is on hand about $14,000, 000 in subsidiary coins. Ti:e seoretary j of tho treasury is now maturing the ! plan for the speedy redemption-of frac- j tional currency, the amount of which i outstanding is ?50,000,000. On tho sup- j position that fully ?14,000,000 lias been j lost or destroyed and can never be pre-! sented for redemption, it is estimated j that the substitution of $36,000,000 in j silver will be $12,000,000 in excess of I the actual demand for small change, so ; that the treasury will be protected j against hoarding or withholding silver | from circulation, and tho public have j all they want of the subsidiary coins, i As fast as the sub-treasury pay it out in j redemption of fractional currency, the latter will be destroyed. me nisi xiuu V/Vui. An item is going the rounds of the papers stating that " the cont was first proposed by Robert Morris, the great financier of the Revolution. It began to make its appearance from the mint in 1792. It bore tho head of Washington on one sido and thirteen links on tho other." The cent recently referred to in the Detroit News, belonging to Mr. li. Jii. Kooerts, 01 mac city, nas on one side the sun unci dial, underneath which the words "Mind your Business," and on the sides " Fugio " and "1787." On the reverse a circle of thirteen rings linked together, surrounding one ring on which is stamped "Uuited States," and in the center "We aro One." It has always been understood to have been designed by Dr. Franklin. Such is a correct description of the first cent. In this centennial era correctness in mat ters of history is important. In this connection the question arises, as it has about pins, where have the millions of J ohi red cenfcMnad? by the government gone to? Mr. Roberts has also shown i m a copper com about tue sizo 01 tne old United States cent, bearing the head I of " Louis XV/. Roi des Francois. 1 1790." . . I The Small Farm System. Some one interested in maintaining i tLio snpennmy 01 tno smau-iarm system, | goes to tin.) census for facts to sustain ; his theory, with the following good re sults : Of the 2,059,085 farms recorded , in tho hist, census 0,875 were under five j acres ; 102 024, tivo acres aud under ten; j 85)1.GH7, ten acres and under twenty ; j 817,071. twenty and under fifty ; 751, 2.2 L, mty acres ana uiuler one hundred, tho lemainiug portion ranging from a h mid rod to a thousand acres and over. Twelve of -tho States have farms that av(-: ner?' lesr. than 125 neres in extent, wbiio ia "ir.'C States the average rnns up t> neatly 500 acres. Whilo the total v-ilno of farms in the United States is put down at $0,202,809,361, the value oi these twelve small-farm States foot3 up $5,407,587,178, or nearly thrce-llfths of the total, whilo the area of tho States is less thau one-fifth of the area of the whole country. These figures may be taken as a sufficient proof of the supe riority of umall farms over large ones. WHERE MISFORTUNE PRESSES. From the Dazzling Ponk of Opulenco to the Shadowy Valp of Poverty. There was one person absent from the great churity ball in New York, whom perhaps few missed, but who in her days of affluence never missed ono, unless ab pent from the city. Only a very short timo ngo she occupied elegant apart ments at the St. James, kept her car riage, and received all tho attention which the still young, rich, handsomo and accomplished widow of a man who Koo nnaifirma nlvrfift/L * I , us -well as at home, is sure of obtaining. To-day slio occupies, with her mother, ono poor room in a building in -which rooms are rented to tho poor who can not afford tho weekly sum demanded in tho cheapest boarding house, and who in one room, neither large nor well venti lated, cook whatever food they can afford to purchase, eat and sleep. Her financial ruin was caused by tho failuro of two large banking houses, in which tho whole of her money was, as she sup posed, secured. Thirty thousand dol lars which lay in other hands were, by the representations of the head of one of those establishments, transferred to him for safe keeping, but three weeks before the failure occurred, and of course went with the rest, btie would not nave una money enough to buy bread this winter for herself and mother, but that a Span ish gentleman from Venezuela, and soon to return, heariug of her misfortunes through an artist friend, hired a sleep ing room in the same building, and ask ed as a favor that she would every morn ing give him his breakfast, offering as a plausibje reason his ignorance of the English languiigo and her knowledge of Snnnish. The ar ran cement was there- j fore made, and the amount paid nearly covered the weekly expenses, the re mains from the breakfast being made to servo for all day. In the same building are two young girls, who came from the country with a little monev that one had saved, in order that one might take somo long antici pated and eagerly desired lessons in pastel painting. It was the presence of these two young girls, good and helpful is they are, that had induced the artist Friend to recommend the lady to seek a bumble shelter there, for it was ho from whom the aspiring young girl was re ceiving her lessons, and he was acquaint ad with her circumstances, and with the fact that both girls had left comfort ible homes in the country, one to pur sue art studies, tho other to be com panion and manager of their small re sources. The day she arrived they invited Mrs. W. to share their dinners, and they havo since taught her how to cook simple dishes, what to buy, what to pay for it?how, in snort, to put ner re sources to the best use. Out of all the dear five hundred friends she had, thero is not one of whom she would be willing to ask a favor. It is to these two girls, of whom a few months ago she know nothing, that she clings for companion ship and comfort. A Struggle for Education, On the ninth day of October, a. d. 1 OAA a maav i^onna rrnmftn r?f "R.n f.l HT1 fl XUUUj U UUUi xuouuu m vmuu va avuwamum) Vermont, tho wife of a helpless cripple, gave birth to a puny baby, -whom the good neighbors were moved to hope that God would mercifully recall from so in hospitable a world as this promised to prove to the new-born child. On the twenty-fourth day of August, a. d. 1873, there didd in Pittsiield, Massachusetts, a venerable clergyman, loved and honored throughout the coun try, and known in his books the world over. The unpromising infant who camo unvelcome into the world at the beginniDg of the century had become the Dr. John Todd whose influence for good has been felt to the very ends of the earth, and whoso published writings are read in more languages than one can well count cm the fingers. The childhood of the young John was passed, after the fashion of rural child hood in New England at that early day, chiefly in hard work. His crippled father died about six years after tho boy's birth, leaving a large family, which, by reason of extreme poverty and the helplessness of the maniac mother, was necessarily scattered. John found a home with an aunt in North Killing worth, Connecticut, where he remained several years, working hard " for his food and part of his clothing," and trapping wild animals for tho rest. When ten years of age he passed a brief time in New Haven, attending school, and earning hi3 bread in the capacity of " chore boy " in the house of a kinsman. It was during this residence near Yale rinlWn, thnt hp first rame into contact with people of a higher culture thau was common among the rural folk of North Killing worth, and the accident appears to have determined the -whole course of his life. His ambition was awakened, ?nd from that time forward his purpose ^as iixed?to secure the benefits of a thorough training in the schools. The task he thus set himself seemed a hope less one?so much so, indeed, that from first to last his friends labored diligently to dissuade him from tiie undertaking. He -was without money, without pros pects, and without friends able to help him; but young as he was, the iron will j which served him so well in after life i was already his, and he appears never to I have faltered in his purpose, after it was ! once formed. Ho lived poorly, by such work as he could get to do, paved ever}' moment of time, studied under any mas ters ho could find, and finally, in the au tumn of 1818, entered Yale College, hav lug traveled thither on toottrom Uharles town, Massachusetts, "with his entire wardrobe under one arm and his entire library nnder the other," At the time of his matriculation, ho tells us, ho had but tlireo cents in the world, two of which he paid out for toll in crossing a bridge on the samo day. " Sleep On, Fair Friend." Says the Whitehall Times : A few days since a Whitehaller called to pay his respects to a lady. Ho was obliged to wait in the parlor some time for her to dress. As the gentleman had been broken of his rest the previous night, he unconsciously fell asleep. The lady en tered the parlor soon afterwards, and, comprehending the state oi' affairs, and wishing to enjoy a joke at the gentle man's expense, she sat down in a chair on the opposite side of tho stove to await the awakening, and enjoy tho astonish /-.nil or- Tn o faxu mnmonfu a I UlUUt VI UVJ. J.*-* Ml *V II M feeling of drowsiness began to creop over the fair one. Sho finally dropped off, fast asleep. The gentleman awoke, and, taking in the situation, thought he would turn the joke on his fair joker. Taking a card, ho wrote on it : " My dear Miss : As this is sleep year, I willingly accord you t_o privi lege that your eex is entitled to once in four years. "Sleep on, fair friend.

THE JANISSARIES. How they were Slnnxhtered by the Saltan of Turkey?An Old Story Retold. Who has not heard of the slaughter of the Janissaries in Tnrkey ? Here is the story retold : Tho Janissaries formed a force originally organized by Orchan, tho Osmanli sultan, in 1330. They were young Christian prisoners compelled to embraco Mohammedanism ; and, beiDg more perfectly disciplined by Amurath I., became, in bis relgu, a well ordered host, of about ten thousand men, specially j educated from childhood to a military life. Tho children of Christians, cap tured during tho conquests of tho Turks, were taken at tho ago of twelve years mid trainerl to forcet their country and tlicir religion, and to know no other parent tlinn tho saltan. On reaching manhood, they were guaranteed special privileges, and, eventually, their ranks were filled by conscription from among tho natives. Originally designed as a guard to the sultan's person, this force became augmented until they numbered four hundred thousand men. In times of pcace they acted aa a police force, they served on foot, generally formed the reserve of the Turkish army, and were noted for their wild impetuosity in attack. Their dress consisted of a long gown with short sleeves, which was given them annually by the sultan at the feast on tho first diiy of Ramadaj, and, in lieu of the turban, they wore a cap with a long hood, which hung upon their shoulders. Their arms consisted of n saber and a carbine, though in time of peace, at Constantinople, they only carried n long staff. In Asia, they bore a bow and arrow and poniard. In early times they fought with darts, arrows and hatchets, though the saber was their favorite w eapon. They rarely mar ried, believing that a married man made a worse soldier tunn a nacneior. The discipline observed among the Janissaries conformed in many things to that used in the Roman legions, and, like them, they became formidable to their masters as their strength increased. They deposed Bajazet II. in 1512. They procured the death of Amurath III. in 1595. Thoy robbed Osman II. of his empire and his life in 1622, and two months later dethroned Mustapha, whom they made his successor. In 1649 they depbsed the Sultan Ibrahim, whom they strangled, and in 1730 they de posed and imprisoned Achmet III., aud advanced Mabmoud I. from prison to the throne in his stead. Bearing the burden of this history, the Janissaries came under the authority of Mahmoud II., and it is little wonder if this monarch trembled at the fate which he might properly reason would ' be in store for him, should he not sue-1 ceed either in placating or destroying j this vast and ungovernable body of men, j trained to the art of warfare, and accom-1 plished in all the technique of insurr. c-' tion. The sultan seems to have early formed bis conclusions as to His neces-1 sary action under the circumstances. He proceeded as follows : Issuing an order incorporating the Janissaries with new troops which he i had raised, and commanding them to j adopt the same dress and arms, he was, j as he had expected, peremptorily re- j fnsed obedience. He next assembled j all of them, whom he could immediately j control, in the sqnaro of Atmiedan in I n??i:?I lyUiiftumLHiupio aim. icuu<h . of the square had been lined with the j sultan's new levies, and also with mask ed batteries, and no sooner had the { Janissaries assembled than the avenues I to the square wore closed, and, at a ! signal, the whole mass of men were shot j down with dreadful slaughter. It is j said that they displayed that heroici valor for which they had been always j distinguished, and that the Sultan Mah- j moud shed tears for the loss by his own j order of so mnny of his finest and bravest troops. But thero was no alterna-1 tive. Ho must either reigu or die ; and j as ho chose the former course for him- j self, the latter only remained for the j Janissaries. Eight thousand of them I are said to have perished iu this bloody ! attack ; and the proclamation which im- j mediately followed, declaring the Janis-1 sary force forever dissolved, completed ; their destruction. Not fewer than i fifteen thousand were executed, and j more than twenty thousand were banish-! ed from Turkish soil. A Terrible Isolation. Porters' island, Lake Superior, is a bit of rock, upon wliidh was built the "government honse," the residence of thnt high and potent individual, the United States agent, who reismod over the copper land, countersigning permits and dispensing favors of a consular nature to visitors to Cooper Harbor. In the summer of 1846, says an ex-1 change, we saw a half-breed woman who had been Crusoeing on tho island; she i and her husband had been placed on tho island in charge of property. Owing to i the wreck of the brig Astor, in the fall of 1845, supplies failed to reach them. | Lone thov Waited for succor, but in vain. ] Winter came on, snow covered tho ground, and ice gathered on the waters; then this lone pair were left to their fate on this savage, desolate island, " out of humanity's reach." The shrieking winds as they swept through the iir trees, and the black billows of the stormy lako, spending their sullen fury upon tho rocky coasts, were the only sounds that could greet the ear during the long, dark winter of that high northern lati tude. For companionship they must de pend upon each other. But, before tho winter was half spent, the husband sick ened and died, and the poor woman -was absolutely alone. Wrapping the remains of her dead husband in a blanket, fhe removed them from the hut and deposit ed them in the snow, whortj, frozen solid like a pillar of ice, they were preserved until the return of spring permitted of their burial. The widow passed tho long winter as best she could, subsisting upon the flesh of rabbits which she man aged to anare; her bereavement, hard ships and the terrors of isolation, won derful as it may seem, did not affect her health or mind. She was taken off from tho island in the spring, and was happy enough when she reached the mainland. Obtained His Fee. Recently a minister, residing near Crescent, N. 3T., went three miles from homo to perform a wedding ceremony, and his experience is thus detailed: Af ter the couple had been pronounced man and wife, the happy groom drew up a chair, and, seating himself, said, in a voieo loud enough to be heard all over the room: "Well, how much is it?" Tho olnrt'vmnn's fiiimrisG rrmv bo ea??ilv j imagined. As soon as he recovered from it sufficiently to do so," he replied: " Oh, I never s^t any price on such little J matters." " Well," replied the groom, "butI want to know. How much is it ?" "Anything you like," replied the clergyman. "That won't do, said the groom; "I'm bound io know, so you may as well toll me.'' Seeing that things wero getting desperat:-, a friend of the newly married ruin c lied him aside and whispered to him. This I seemed to do no good, for, retnrning to ; ! the vacant chair, the groom again com I monced conversation, with the remark: "Pretty hard times, aiu't it?" "Yes," j replied the oicgyrann. " Oh ! come iuivj " onifl "Rmipjlii'f.. ? t.o 1 ] mf> 'mow mneh it in, find have done with it." But the minister didn't toll, and the father of the bride relieved him just then by re marking that lie would attend to the matter. And thtiR it stood for awhile, when, to the dominie's greet' fiurpriso, the bride appeared n|*tn the scene. Slw walked up and laid three one dollar bills upon his kuee, one at a timo, counting in a loud voice as Rhe did so: "One. two, three," and ending with " theie !" She had been a factory girl, and it w is very evident that she was tho " moneyed man " of the new firm. William A. M. Thompson, of Quaitz TT-ll il_ ..L.

In the autumn of 185G I was an en gineer on the Galena and Chicago Union railroad, row the Galena division of the great Chicago and Northwestern railway, and was sent one Sunday from the junc tion?thirty miles west of Chicago?to Harlem, to bring up several cars loaded with railroad iron. On arriving at Har lem I found the turntable broken, and, therefore, went do?vn to the limits, then Halstead street, to tur:i my engine about. At that timo there were no houses be tween the city and Oak Ridgo, nine miles out, it beinga smooth, level prairie all the way, and but little travel except on the cars. The road was an air line, and when I had got half over tho dis tance, I saw, walking on tho track, a young man and a young woman, each one carrying a small parcel, and having the appearance of fugitives. After turning my engine I started back, and in a short time overtook the wanderers, when I stopped the engine and invited them to ride. At first they seemed a little timid, but I quieted their fears, and, having got them nicely seat ed in tho cab, I started on. By severe questioning I learned that tho young man had been in the employ of a farmer in Chautauqua county, N. Y.; that tho girl was tho only daughter of tho farm er; that they had determined on getting married against tho will of tho parents, and had run away, seeking that haven of rest, Chicago. Horo they got out of money, and, as , t.lin T-nnntr man failed to cot work, thev bad started out to look for a place among j the farmers. I took them to the junc- j tion, where his story awakened a good I deal of interest for them among the rail-1 road men, resulting in placing him at Do ! Kalb as a night wiper of locomotives, j Here they continued through the winter, ! and as I used to see them at times, I , think I never saw two persons who ! seemed to be better or more lovingly mated than they. The following spring I lost sight of them, out suDsequenuy learned that they had returned East. A few days after Christmas, 1875, I went into a dining room near Washing ton Market, New York, and ordered din ner. While waiting to be served, I saw a well-to-do farmer-looking individual enter and tako a seat at the next table. ; Ho was in conversation with a botcher, and I thought I recognized something j familiar iu the voice and features of the new comer. So impressed was I with j the belief that I had seen him before, j that on finishing my lunch I approached ! and asked him if we had not met some- j where. He failed to remember having ! ever seen me, and I was about to go away when I asked if ho had over been on tho Northwestern railway. At first lie answered in the negative, but quickly i correcting himself, bo fiaid : " Why, yes, I was out there years ago." " Did you work for the' company ?" " Yes, I wiped engines at De Kalb one winter." Then, for the first time, it occurred to me who he was, and I asked if he re membered being picked up one Sunday between Chicago and Oak Ridge. " I shall never forget that 1" said he; " and I know you must bo the man who befriended me then. How my wife would like to see you." And ho aroso and grasped my hand in token of my former kindness and his remembrance of it. I learned that his wife's parents had sent for them to come back the spring that I missed them; tbat he had finally come into possession of the farm on the death of his father-in-law; had been very successful, and was at tliat time deliver-1 ing two car loads of stock to the butcher ! by his side. Receiving a Sentence. When Rubenstein was found guilty of the murder of Sarah Alexander by the Brooklyn court, Judge Moore called him forward. Ho shambled from his seat, trembling" and pale. The judge asked whether he had anything to say why :he sentence of death should not be pawned upon him. Rubenstein began gesticu lating excitedly, and addressed the court in Hebrew and German. An interpreter translated his words as follows: "I know nothing about it. I did not com mit the crime. I do not want to give up my blood. They may yet discover that I am innocent." Then putting both hands to his head, he loosened from above each ear a long lock of hair, which ! fell down ou his shoulders. Pointing to them, ho said: " That is my witness T mr tinn/l rvn ari v Tumnnn ; LliUl X UUYUl Xi(IU U1J uuuvt v** wuj .. VM.MM : ?never couched a woman, aud that I time will find out that I am innocent, and that the jury have made a mistake. Judge Mooro then sentenced Ruben stein to be hanged on Friday, March [ 24, between nine a. m. and two p. m. | The singular act of the prisoner in uncurling liishair when he wasarraigned j for sentence, was explained by his broth er to be the habit of their race when they I wished to make their strongest oath. A.s the hair dropped down it hung in cnrls and in f.ho act the prisoner unwit tingly corroborated tno testimony of one of the girls who sworo that the man she saw in the cars on the way to East New York had curly bair. Judge Pratt, hav I * A. J __ 1.1. mg an aversion 10 [jruuouimujg tuc ucutu sentence, requested Judge Moore to sentence Rubonstein. It was the first death sentence ever pronounced by the judge. It is believed that the district attorney will proceed against one or two of the alibi witnesses for perjury. All About Age, While arguing a case before the Uni ted States supreme court in Washington a few days ago, Mr. Albert Pike made a clever reply to an objection of Attorney General Pierrepont. The attorney-gen eral had. questioned tho evidence of one of Mr. Pike's witneases on the ground of the extreme age of the man?seventy three years?and presnmptiv e failure of his faculties. " Well, yonr honors," said Mr. Pike, " I don't altogether like that myself, for I am sixty-six years old, and in a little whilo I shall bo seventy, and even seventy-three, and I am some what sensitive about old men with no memories. I see on the bench before me one justico hearing this case who is sixty-nine years old, another who is seventy-two, and I woidd like to ask with what force tho attorney-general's argument strikes them that a man has no memory at their ages." Mr. Pierre pont yielded the point. Curiously enough, tho client lor wnom mr. riKe was arguing1 was Ex-Governor Bector of Arkansas, with whom he had once fonglit a duel, j ' He Knew he was Wrong. | The intelligent compositor was set I ting np an article (contributed), when j he. camo across tho following passage: "Elvira," ho cried, in a passiouato j voice, " Elvira, fly with mo!"

Their victim, a lemon peddler, was shot on the streets of St. Louis, in broad day light. Tho ghastly procession moved out of tho jail iu the rear yard, where the gallows stood. The doomed men walked each by tho sido of an Italian priest and woro that rapt, unmoved ex pression which showed that religious consolation had made them perfectly in different to their awful fate. They kneeled down, and tbo priests performed their office. The reading of the death warrant occasioned a long, painful in 1 1 -1 ? oilnn/iA tervai, tiuniii^ wiiiuu u. ucucuij ouvuw rei jned. Then Father Graeiana said the con demned had nothing to offer but thanks to those who had taken an interest in them, forgiveness to their enemies and hope that their own sins were forgiven by God. They had commended them selves to God and prayed that He might give them strength to die fearlessly. They asked all believers to offer a prayer for their souls. They then stepped *on the boxes which had been placed on the trap to give greater height to the fall. 71 L ~ ~ ft" atinnflnilflfl ollATlf. iLUCJU W ULO U U1 UUUA 30UJVl>uuvu ??WVMV bis ucck by a black ribbon.

Silas Wilder, who killed his father and mother witb an ax at East Lyndon, Yt., cut his wife's throat, then his own, and afterwards hanged himself, was thirty years old and a well-to do farmer. His parents opposed his marriage, and made his marital relations very unpleas ant. A difficulty arose between them and the result was the terrible deed. He hfi/1 br>nn married but a vear. There was terrible excitement at East Lyndon over, the trugedy. It is sup posed that Wilder -was laboring under temporary insanity superinduced by ex cessive excitement and passion. The details of the tragedy are most horrible. His father and mother were aged re spectively seventy-three and seventy years. The immediate cause of the affair was an altercation with his wife, who in altering a pair of overalls had made them too short. After angry words Wilder started for the shed saying ho would get an ax and end the trouble. His wifo followed him and seized the nx, when ho drew a dirk aud stabbed her. He left her for dead, and taking the ax started for his father, who had followed him, and struck him a fearful blow, the ax crushing through the old man's head. At this point he appeared still further infuriated, and next attacked his mother, killing her with three fearful blows over the head and breast, aud leaving her lying at the front door he re turned to the filled and found his father had crawled into the kitchen. E> 3truck him as he Jay upon the floor, and the ax crushed through his head and remained fixed on the floor. Ho then cut his own throat, and, death not ensuing at once, ho ran to the barn, fastened a rope around his neck and jumped from a beam. The fall broke his neck aud he died instantly. Spontaneous Combustion of Oils. It is asserted that when mixed with fibers of cotton and wool, seal oil will onnnfnnonna onmhnstinn in twn Lours, lard oil in four hours, olive oil in five hours, nnd castor oil in thirty Lours, while petroleum oil will not pro duce spontaneous combustion under any condition. Crude petroleum cannot be used, becauso it would ignite if brought into contact with a flame. No factory is probably ever heated to over 200 deg. Fah., but the fire office companies in the United States have decided that any oil that will not ignito at a temperature low er than 250 degrees is safe. Professor Vander Weyde of Philadelphia says, among other things, that all vegetable or animal oils are compounds of glycer ine with fatty acids, and when these be come rancid, and are absorbed by rags lvinc in lieaos. it will act on the fibers, produce heat, and finally spontaneous combustion. He adds that petroleum is of another nature, and cannot become rancid, and does not produce heat like other oils. Dr. Hoffman, president of a London chemical society, says that pe troleum oils are safer than animal or vegetable oils, inasmuch as they do not absorb oxygen, and cannot undergo spontaneous combustion when smeared upon cotton waste. Other experiments and opinions are given, all going to show that fatty oils are liable to produce spontaneous combustion, and that min eral oils are not. Tnttine- IIoODDOles. I heard a man say, not long since: " He got it all cutting and backinghoop poles! This man was speaking of a younger man who was in the act of drawiag two thousand dollars from a saviugs bank. I asked the speaker to explain, and he did so. " You see that young man," he said. " I have known him from his childhood up. His parents were of the poorest of the poor. His first school books were old ones given to him. His next ho bought wilh money earned by cutting hooppoles.

In the mornings, and in the evenings, and during vacation times from school, he worked bravely in the forest, cutting and shaping the | polos, and carrying them upon his back ! to tho cooper's. His first earnings, after ho had bought his books, were deposit ed in tho savings bank. He was then ten years old. Jn five years ho had gained a thousand- dollars. Then he went at work for a farmer at fair wages, leaving his little capital in tho bank, and occasionally adding to it. To-day ho is married, and owns an excellent farm in western Massachusetts, ami the two thousand dollars which ho has just drawn will mako his last payment on h'ae farm and the stock, and make him an independent man. And, you may say?ho got it all in cutting and backing hooppoles." How he Used It, A minister recently attended a fu neral, and the day after ho was informed that a subscription was being taken to defray the expenses, as tho bereaved husband was very poor. To his surprise the said husDana, aceompanieu uy u liuly, called a day or two since to bo united in matrimony. The permit was regular, the ceremony was performed, ar.d the minister received a fee of live dollars. After home reflection and wish ing to put. the money "whore ifc would do the most pood," ho sent it as a con tribution to the burial fund of tho la mented wife.
