THE OLD CREAM*JUG 41 Oh mother," said Ruth Wallit " how I should like to go out and <p few apple-blossoms." " Stuff and nonsense," said the Wiiloi Wallia, austerely; "haven't you go work to do?milk to skim, butter t work over, dishes to wash, and tw dozen shirts just sent in from the lauc dry to finish off before dinner time Go about it at once and don't let m hear any more folly about api'le *;ljt Eoms." For Mrs. Wallis belonged to the wort ing brigade of the wcrld and did not be lieve in aesthetics of any kind. Buttercups and red sunsets cud manj tinted rainbows had always been standing problem to her, and sha coul not understand how a man of sens could possibly prefer golden hair to red or a daisy pink complexion to hones freckles. And her two elder daughters, Naom and Miranda Ann, agreed with her en tirely on this as on all other subjects. But Buth was different. Buth treas ured up half-open rosebuds in surrepti tious glasses of water, sowed flowe: eeeds under the dairy window, rea< poems in her own room, and cried whei the honeysuckle vine was razed from be fore the porch pillars. " Botting all the posts and harborin( earwigs and spiders," said the widow severely. "But the flowers are so pretty,' pleaded Buth. "Pretty,"snorted the widow, as i tue term were a synonym for all absurd ty and weak-mindedness. " I do think Ruth, yoa are almost a fool." So upon this golden May morning when the lilacs were nodding their pur pie plumes and the apple-blossom spread their sheets of billowy pink ove all the orchards, Buth was condemne< to milk-skimming in the dairy ant fv the finishing of the shirts in th< ?kitchen. She was standing in front of the milk room window, busy with her shinin) pans?after all there was a oertain poe try in the occupation?when all of : sudden a whiskered and muBtached fac presented itself, all framed in the case ment. "GWodness me 1" cried Buth, with i violent start which bad nearly upset on of the vessels, and then recovering he: presence of mind she added: "Wha do you want ?" "Ibeg your pardon," said the ap paritdon?and Ruth began to perceive that it iiad rather fine eyes, and was nc longer it very young apparition?" I arc afraid I startled you." 44Yes, you did?rather," admittec Buth. "But if you're a tramp, pleass go on, for we never give to tramps, And if you're a sewing machine agent, or anything of that sort, it's of no use. And " You are mistaken," said the owner - of the dark eyes, with a oomical curl ol his lips. "I am none of these. I am ?in the china business." "Oh,"said Bnth, beginning to comprehend, " Vases, and little dogs and parrots, for cast-off clothes. But we wear all our things out, and mothei makes rag carpets of them afterward." " Very laudable of her, I am sure,' nodded the stranger. "But?may 1 ask what you will take for that twisted cream-pot on the shelf just over youi head?" Ruth glanced up with startled eyes. "It was my Grandmother Crocus',' said she ; " and it's so old-fashioned we - never use it. Mamma keeps radisl seed in it." uiExactly," said the stranger. " It is / very old, and that is the reason 1 want it" Ruth thought of the men who hac been reported as traversing the countr . in search of antiques, old fnrnitnre ant ^.articles of vertu. Could this bo one o ? them ? ".It's mine," said she, ooloring deep .ly. " My grandfather Croons left it U me in his will." * " W"ouldn't yon rather have ten dol ? lars to buy yourself a new hat ?" sai< the stranger, coaxingly. Oh, a thousand times," cried Ruth eagerly. " Then it is a bargain," said the gen tleman, taking out a pooket-book whiob apemed to b9 perfeotly apoplectic witl bank notes. "No, it isn't," said Ruth. "I?] couldn't sell it, indeed. r ."Ah," said the stranger; "perhaps here are old family associations con nected with it ?" " Oh, no. I never saw my grand Brother Crocus," Ruth replied, rathe: bewildered. ; "Say twenty," said the stranger coaxingly. f "It's no use," declared Ruth; "] cannot sell it." * You are devoted to old china,then ?' * Tj? face came nearer, the eyes spar klel as if their owner was convince< e that he had found a kindred soul. * "I hate it," said Ruth. The dark eyes recoiled a pace or two .. "Then you'll let me have the ole : cream-pot ;or twenty dollars ?" said he persuasively.

" I'll besiege it. I I shall be mine, or I'll know the reasoi .' why." For Mr. Napier was a connoisseur i] ceramics, and the moment his idl< glance, oast npward through Mrs. Wal lis' milk-room window as he drank i - glass of water at the well, had fallen o: ; the piece of old English china, his son had coveted it. "I've jast a month to stay here be 'fore I matt be back in my dingy old la\ offices again," meditated he. " A mai 'can do a great deal in a month." And he set himself regularly to worl to win the treasure which he yearned fo so deeply. Day after day he strolled to the oli farmhouse, now with this excuse, no\ with that, a handsome, courtly, middl < aged man, whose winning manner would have attracted any one, and whi was as much at home under the white washed oeiling of the Widow Wallie boot room as in a mansion. .. . "Ruth's cream-pot!" said Naomi, the , elder siBter, a hard-featured, loud-voiced spinster of nine-and-thirty. " Wasn't it a strange provision of Grandmother j Crocus' will that Ruth never can pari with that old piece of cracked absurdity, ! unless"? " Naomi, hush 1" and Ruth had sprung across the room and laid her hand on her sister's lips, with blazing eyes and color as deep as one of her own scarlet geraniums. " Our family affairs shall not be talked of to strangers." " Am I a stranger?" said Mr. Napier, gravely. " I am sorry for that." " I?I didn't mean quite that, " falterod Ruth, "only?only?Naomi, please >i to remember that this is never to be spoken of."

If 1 can't have either secret or cream-pitcher?can I have you ?" " Me 1" "Yes," said the staid lawyer, with strangely-softening eyes. " Dear little Ruth, I have somehow lost my heart to you these last three weeks. I can't go back to the old life without you. I am not a young man, but I have never loved before, and "? " But," interrupted Ruth, with mantling cheeks and a quiver in her voice, | " am I good enough ?" By way of answer he took her in his - arms and looked tenderly into her face, and to Ruth Wallis it seemed as if a ! whole paradise had opened to her in that ) moment. "Hero it is," said Ruth, with glisten| ing eyes and smiling lips.- "The old j' j cream-pitcher, dear Wyntield." The ceremaniac forgot even true love T in the fascinations of the piece of old English ware thnt Rnth laid in his lap. 0 He took it up with a loving touch. 0 " But I thought it was a decree of the Medes and Persians that you were not 7 to part with it ?" said he.

A month later there was a wedding in the village church, and after the wed. ding came the wedding breakfast, and not a few of the guests wondered that r the center ornament of the table, on j such an auspicious occasion, should be 1 an old cream-jug. A Mysterious Explosion. ? A very singular accident occurred at ? the residence of Mr. Gallup, on Sacra? mento street, last week, and it came near terminating fatally. It happened in this wise : For a long time back Mr. ' Gallup had noticed Ihe alarming dimi" nution of his wood pile, and having > heard somewhere that a very good plan to trace the missing firewood was to in? Bert a little powder somewhere in its in* terior, he concluded to use for his 8 purpose giant powder caps, not being J aware that each one of them contain J about as much explosive powder as a * small cannon cartridge. During the 0 afternoon, without saying anything to his family, be selected several of the " choicest sticks and inserted therein the ? gentle reminders. Having accomplishK ed the job to his satisfaction he carefuia ly laid them on the sill in a far corner of 0 the woodshed, intending to distribute '* them through the pile as soon as the shades of night had fallen. But mema ory with Gallup was a fickle jade, and as B the afternoon's sun waned toward the r western horizon, he had entirely forgott ten the incident. After an early tea ftfr<a n^llnn nrofipeded to the woodshed I for fuel. Espying the nice, straight > sticks lying in the distant corner she at ? once proceeded to appropriate the pile 1 and placed it in the stove. The good housewife then drew up her easy chair I in order to better listen to the reading 5 of the Transcript, which Mr. Gallup > was just unfolding. They were just > laughing loudly at the discomfiture of the lovers on Piety Hill, who were so "badgered " by "that boy," when sud denly the ceiling overhead spread out f like the flanges of a Chinese fan, and i the stove shot through the opening with a report that could have been heard a mile. Of couree the ensuing incidents I are somewhat indistinct in the minds of > both Mr. and Mrs. Gallup. Suffice it to say that after a period of forgetfulness they found themselves iu an adjoining [ room. They were in a rather dilupidat ed condition, mentally and physically, L but still able to rise to a perpendicular ' position. After half an hour's active search they found the baby in the back yard, crowing lustily over the jolly ride ' j he had been treated to. The house > j next morning had every appearance of i having been played upon by a whole battery of artillery.? Nevada Tran? script. [ ?? A. T. Stewart's Fortune. The fortune of A. T.

TnrtnK A a_ vuc uiguvou ooirituavo ut v\/uu vmvvm ixg5 tor's fortune when he died in 1848. In 1875, Mr. Stewart's city real estate iu " New York?situated for the most part * below Union square? was assessed at $6,212,700; at that time the assessed ? valuation represented only sixty per cent, of the real value, so that the then actual value of the real estate was $10,1 354,500, which forms but an eighth of 1 his estimated wealth. Mr. Stewart, however, owned real estate in nearly L every city in which ho had dealings. He i owned a number of woolen and thread ' i mills in this country, among them the i Mohawk and Elbcenf, at Little Falls; I the New York mills, at Hulyoke; the * I Woodward mills, at Woodstock; the r ; Yantico mills, in New Jersey; the WashI ington mills, at New Hartford; the Cats? j kill and Waterville woolen mills. There are also large mills at Nottingham, Eng1 1 laud, and Glasgow, Scotland. The pro? perty of the house of A. T. Stewart & j Co. is greatly scattered. It owns pro" : perty in most of the large cities here * and abroad, and has continually in its employ, outside of New York, over 6,000 persons. There are branch houses at ; Bradford, Manchester, Belfast, Paris, * Lyons, Berlin and Chemnitz, in Saxony. * , 3 The Speaker of the Commons. : The speaker of the English house of commons has a hard life. He must al, ways be present from the beginning to - the close of its sefsions, and as these 3 begin late in the afternoon, and sometimes last till morning, hid constitution t needs to be of the strongest to endure t the fatigue. He must keep the bouse a in order, and compel tbe observance of all rules, which is no easy tusk in times a of political excitement. Q After the election to this important .* post, he is expected to lay aside his party ft preferences, and maintain the most rigid a impartiality. He does not allow the 1 reading of speeches, but calls any member to order who attempts to read from i- a manuscript. During a vote,' the v house is emptied, those voting " Aye," q passing into a lobby on the left. Everybody in the house at the time voting t must vote. r The speaker holds his office during an entire parliament, which lasts seven J years, unlesB sooner dissolved by the <r queen. For his hard service he receives a the generous compensation of twentys five thousand dollars per year and a furo nished house. When his term of office - expires, he is promoted to the peerage, ' which gives him a seat in the house of lords, a reward which an ordinary man oould hardly be blamed for oovetuag.? v-UNDER THE LASH. f How Thieves are PunUhed In Vlrglnin. The State laws of Virginia provide that all persons convicted of petit lar- r c<-ny shall receive a certain number of t Btripes proportionate to the offense. To r observe and describe the method of in- f flictiug this punishment n section of the a Post was detailed to visit Alexandria, v where two negroes had been sentenced by the mayor to bo whipped. The of- ? fense for which they were convicted was ^ small, merely the larceny of a cap, and fl consequently the number of stripes was ^ comparatively light. Shortly after nine \o'clock the men were released from their ; cells and brought into the corridor of f the station-house.

Smith as he drew a newly-pnrchasedcOT*&.ide__ whip from its ^ wrapping. N A well-formed negro, about twentyy-4 one years of age and naked to the waist, ? walked up and placed his hands through the grating as directed, while the lieu- . tenant passed the whip to Officer Franks, who generally inflicts the pun- ? ishment. " How many, boss ? " asked Carter, as his hands were secured on the other 1 side. J " Twenty-one," replied the officer. " Lay them on light," pleaded Carter, 1 as he began to sing " Halleluiah " and c "Glory to God" to keep up his conr- r age. F Swish! Down came the cruel whip J on the man's bnre back. A long white ^ mark looked livid in contrast to the c ebony skin. ''Two!" called the offi- ^ cer, as a deep cut showed where the * second blow had struck. The third, fourth and fifth followed in steady sue- I cession, each about one inch below the t other. By this time Carter was howling f for mercy. The sixth blow fell diago- c nally across the preceding ones, and the t whole body of the wretched negro t quivered with agony. Down came the r whip again and Carter writhed like a \ snake. The eif?ht, ninth and tenth were t given with such force that at the latter \ blow the handle of the whip broke f about eight inches from the butt end. t Without stopping for a new whip Offi- o Franks erasned the instrument t further up and kept at his work. An- b other blow. The whipping was only ii half done, and yet it seemed an age to t the reporter, while Carter's back was s already marked like a checker board, s Each successive blow drew from the 1 negro the most piteous yells. His body squirmed against the cell door and raised and lowered in his efforts to get c free. He turned half way round and 1 the relentless whip wound itself around c his side and drew the blood from his t breast. He jumped in his agony and ? the cowhide fell across his neck and <3 fare. Each blow now seemed to sink t like iron into the man's body. The a blood began to rush from the lacerated a flesh, and to one unused to this pun- s ishment the scene was almost horrible. \ "For God's sake put something on my back, captain," screamed Carter,as I the blows fell sharp and stinging upon \ his back, the pain growing with each c more and more intense. To add to the t scene, if indeed it needed any addition, \ the other culprit, Albert Dorsey, who t appeared enduring mentally what his t companion was suffering physically, c commenced to howl as loud as possible, t At last, however, the justice of the law 1 was satisfied. The whole operation only a took about three minutes, and yet it c seemed as if all the pain which could be t inflicted in that space of time was laid j upon Carter. Although the blows had t ceased it was evident that the pain was a still felt, and the negro thief will carry a the marks of the whipping for some t fima tn wimn. t "Now, Dorsey, it is your turn," said s the lieutenant, and the second negro t was placed in the same position as the p first. "Give him fifteen," added Mr. s Smith, and the officer having cnt the air j once or twice with his whip, as if to try a it, proceeded at once to carry into effect a hissuperior's orders. On Dorsey's skin, a which was a light brown, the marks i showed more plainly and the blood $ seemed to come quicker. The same ? scene was repeated, and though he seemed to suffer as much pain as Carter, s he appeared to get over it quicker when d the whipping was finished. I " What do you think of this business ?" t asked the Post of Lieutenant Smith, f after the whipping was over, while the a negroes were putting on their clothes, s " I am in favor of it. My experienca ii shows that it reduces the number of lar- I cenies to a great extent. Not only that, t but it saves the expense of courts, it s discourages pettifogging lawyers, and o it is far more effectual than jails or ii workhouses, which only harden crimi- t nals." ii " T suppose you have seen many cases t of whipping?" inquired the particular fiber of the Post. " At leat 500," was the reply. o " What is the extent of the law ? " " Seven ty-eiglit stripes. But to in- t flict them all at once would kill any v man, and so only thirty-nine are given daily until the sentence is carried out. ti But this number of lashes is only in- c flicted when the offense is an aggravat- p ed one. No person is ever given less than ten or fifteen." t Meandering over toward Mr. Franks, fi who had thrown down his whip and was putting on his coat, the Post asked him f how he liked his work. "Oh, I am used to it," he answered ; o " ana I don't miud it much. Don't v you think this was a neat job ? " v Perhaps it was. The reporter did not like to express an opinion, but g thought he might as well agree with g Mr. Franks, an! rather reluctantly assented. c " There are not many men who know c how to handle a whip." continued the officer, enthusiastically. "Some of s them catch hold of it as though it was a stick, and bring it down heavy. Now I ii aorrt. i just mar.e a aimpie twist ot i the wrist (illustrating) and bring the fe whip down like a spring. That cuts like a knife, and hurts worse than any t other way." " What kind of a whip do you like o best?" inquired the reporter. b "Well, 1 don't like that kind," said the gentleman, pointing to the instru- v ment he had thrown down. " It is too stiff, and liable to break. But it don't fi make much difference if it is handled right. They all hurt." tl " Do the men always squeal ?" " Sometimes they start out with the determination not to open their mouths, but the whip generally takes that out of them. I remember one man, though, named Butcher Smith, who tallied oQ each stripe until he reached thirty-nine, s when he said ' stop hero.' Then he put b on bis clothes, lit his pi?e and went out o of the door. Another man, named But- t ler, refused to be tied, and stood with a his arms folded while he was whipped, g But these are exceptional cases. Tho e white men stand it better than the col- f ored." a '' How about the women ?" t " I never whipped a woman, although t such a thing has been dono hero often, f You see the law allows us discretion in t the case of women, and they are gener- a oily sent to jail. But we have no such a diHcretion regarding men." | \ " What do yon think of tho punish- I c ment?" ? "What do I ihiuk of it?

At a recent meeting of the Farmers' ilub of the American institute, of New .orlt, tlie suoject or orcuaraswaa mtroluced by President Heath, who said ! hat an orchard, to be made fruitful and ] lave large, luscious fruit, must be ! leeply cultivated between the rows, 1 rat not too near the trees, and receive j , liberal supply of barn-yard manure ] nd fertilizer as a top-dressing in the ( pring, with a good mulching in No- 1 -ember every year. 1 Next followed a communication from 2. Ware Sylvester, Lyons, N. Y., in { vhich ho said, in relation to peach orihards, that if he had trees so situated . hat they must be subject to severe [ finds in winter, he should not disturb e he earth about the roots in the fall, 1 rat rather mulch the trees with muok r >r some other litter, being careful to J lse such as will not afford a shelter for j nice; this mulch to be removed in the c pring or not as circnmstances seem to lemand. There is one safe rule about i rees; if peach-trees are making a i growth of twelve to fifteen inches on J he ends of the limbs in a season, and [ ipple-trees six to twelve inches, they t jre doing well enough, are making all t Vio orrnTuf.h flint in hfifit. fnr t.hfl crnrtd of lie treeB, and when they are making uch growth they do not need cnltiva- e ion or fertilizing. Mr. Sylvester has a t >ear-orchard that has been planted c even years, and there has not been a 1 >low in it sinca it was set. He digs c ,bout the trees either in fall or spring, ,nd applies mnck in the winter. He dvised leaving undisturbed trees grow- c ng in cultivated ground, if the soil ia 8 food and the trees are making a good | growth. ( A discussion followed as to the rea- ^ ons why orchards?notably the apple? I lo not bear equally well every season. ' I. G. Dodge said, in explanation, that j he buda of the peach are now formed { or the next year, and also some of the t pples. If the tree is engaged all the I eason in perfecting its fruit, how can c b prepare embryo for the next season ? ] fo amount of manure now can add to \ he number of blossoms for the next t eason, but it may improve the quality > f the fruit. After a very heavy crop it i no wonder that the next season should ] ie small. Excessive manuring produces ] a orchards great growth of foliage, at he expense of the fruit crop. i Farmers' Creed*. < We believe in small farms and thor- i ugh cultivation; j That the soil loves to eat as well as 1 he owner, and ought, therefore, to be rell-manured; , In going to the bottom of things, and < berefore, in deep plowing and enongn >f it?all the better if it be a BnbBoil low; In large crops which leave land better ban they found it, makiDg both the arm and farmer rich at once; That every farm should own a good armer; That the fertilizer of any soil is a spirit f industry, enterprise and intelligence; rithout these, lime, gypsum and guano rill be of little use ; In good fences, good farmhouses, < ;ood orchards, and children enough to i ;ather tho frnit; 1 In a clean kitchen, a neat wife in it, a | lean cnpboard, a clean dairy and clear \ onscience; t That to ask a man's advice is not c tooping, but of much benefit; That to keep a place, and everything ? a its place,'saves many a step, and is 1 jretty sure to lead to good tools and to :eep them in order ; , That kindness to stock, like good shel- ( er, is a saving ot loader ; \ That it is a good thing to keep an eye i n experiments, and note all?good and * iad; That it is a good rule to sell your grain rhen it is ready ; t That it is a good thing to grow into < irming; not jnmp iuto it; That all of farming is summed up in 1 lie manure heap on the farm ; * lu enriching the soil according to its ? rants.?Canadian Farmer. !, i * The Pritue of Life.

St. Peterabourg gives is i the following particulars concerning the dil public provision for education in Bus- tal sia: The sum assigned in the budget of Tr this year for education is 16,971,289 , roubles (about ?2,395,000). There are eight universities (not reckoning that of up Halsingfors for Finland), with 5,629 -J'? students. Of these, eighty-five are oh divinity students, 583 belong to the ??, philological faculty, 1,629 to the faculty v* of law, thirty to that of Eastern lan- *u adages, 622 to the mathematical faculty, 550 to that of natural science, and 2,130 to the medical faoulty. There are fifty- rr. three ecclesiastical seminaries, with 12,227 pupils; 195 gymnasia and pro-gymaaaia, with 50,701 pupils; fifty-six mid- 1 die-class schools, with 10,888 soholars. rhere are nineteen military gymnasia, Ml but the number of pupils is not given. i Fnr fflmales. there are 223 crvmnasia and p? pro-gymnasia, having 34,878 pupils; and this does not include the many institu- V fcions whioh are subject to the control of M the fourth division of the imperial chan- n ;ellery. There are sixty-eight normal 1 schools and training colleges for teach- thl srs, having 4,968 students. There are ^ ben other such institutions supported by ^ Qon-public funds. The number of ele- mj mentary schools in operation this year mi is 25,491, with 1,074,559 pupils. P4 till When to Paint. ?" One who has had experience writes that JJJ " paint applied to the exterior of build- w ings in autumn or winter will endure twice as long as when applied in early summer or hot weather. In the former to it dries slowly, and becomes hard like a o& glazed surface, not easily affected afterward by the weather, or worn off by the pr beating of 6torms. But in very hot S weather the oil in the paint soaks into the wood at once, as if into a sponge, en leaving the lead nearly dry, and ready ^ to crumble off. This last difficulty, ? however, might in a measure be guarded ? against, though at an increased expense, ? by first going over the surface with raw gji oiL Furthermore, by painting in cold weather the annoyance of small flies, ? which invariably collect during the ? warm season on fresh paint, is avoided, th As an offset to this, there is a trouble with slow-drying paint?it is the dust, p? which always will collect upon exposed pa surfaces, will keep collecting as long as J the paint is not dry, and stick to it, eo si that to obtain a smooth suiface free ? from adhering duet, it is necessary to 5? secure quick drying. This is especially ' the case when varnishing. I have often been disappointed, and no doubt so have gj many others, that the varnish used p? dried so slowly that dnst had time to ? settle cn it before it became hard." Jg ?bt Regulating the Weight of Bread. lu Cleveland, Ohio, they have an or- ? dinance regulating the weight of bread ? sold to consumers, the quantity of coal and the quantity of meats sold within the city limits. A superintendent of markets haB the matter in charge. He makes official and unexpected visits to bakers, butchers, and stops coal in tran- H sit from the yards to the places where it |] is to be used. Whenever bread of lighter weight than that required by law is found, it is confiscated. Meat unfit for consumption, such as immature veal, eto., is also carted awav to be disposed of according to law. The effect of this system is apparent at a glance. Bakers who are diehonest are constantly in dread of a visit from the superintendent, and are therefore kept honest from necessity, if not from choice. Butchers are made to be more careful in the selec-" tion of the meats they propose selling, and coal dealers less likely to give short weight. This system of official espion- Nl age is a protection to the poor, who are generally the heaviest sufferers by such impositions. Hosts of People are Martyrs To sick headache, that infallible symptom of a disordered stomaoh, liver and bowels. Many suffer from it as many as three or four times a week. They do so needlessly, for HoBtetter'a 8tomach Bitters, ty tonrng the digestive organs and regulating the bowels and liver, removes p the cause, and dispels the painfol symptom. u The intimate sympathy between the brain and the abdominal region causes the slightest disorder affecting the latter to be reflected, as it were, in the organ of thought.
