Leaving the Homestead. You're going to leave the homoatead, John You're tweuty-one to-day, And the old man will l>o sorry, John, To'see yo* go fuvay. You've labored lato and early, John, And dono the best you could; I ain't agoin' to stop'you, John, I wouldn't it I could. Yet something ot your feelings, John, I s'poso I'd ought to kuow, Though many a day has passed away? 'Twafi lorty years ago? When hope was high within me, John, And life lry nil before, That I, with strong ud meusured stroke, " Cut loose " and pulled from shore. The years, they come ftiul go, my hoy, The years, they come and go; And raven locks and tresses brown Grow white as driven snow. My life bus know its sorrows, John, Its trials and troubles sore; Yet God withal has blessed me, John, ' In basket and in store." But one thing let me tell you, John, Belore you make your start. There's more in being honest, John, Twice o'er than being smart; Though rogues may seem to flourish. John And Merlins: woith to fail, Oh! keep view the good and true; 'Twill in the end prevail. Don't think too mnchol money, John, An.l dig and delve and plan, And raty? and scrape in every shape, To hoard up all you can. Though tools may count their riches, Johi In dollarsr pounds or pence, The best ot wealth is youth and health, Au<! good sound common sense. And don't bo mean or stingy, John, But lay a little by Of what you earn; you soon will learn How fast 'twill multiply. So, when old age cornea creeping on, You'll have a goodly store Of wealth to furnish all your needs? And maybe something mors. There's shorter cuta to fortune, John, We see them every day; But those who love their self respect Climb np the good old way. "All is not gold that glitters," John.

Don't meddle with your neighbors, J?." n, Their sorrows or their cares; You'll find enough to do, my boy, To mind your own nflairs. The world is full ol idle to.igues? You cftn afford to shirk; There's lota ot people ready, John, To do stich dirty work. And it arai l the rSce Tor lame You win a shining prize, The humbler vrorth of honest men You never should despite; For each one has his mission, John, In life's unchanging plan? Though lowly be his station, John, He is no less a man. i ?t JJe good, be pure, be noble, John, Be honest, brave nnd true; And do to others as ye would That they should do to you. And place your trust iu God, my boy, " Though fiery dart* be hurled, Then yon can smil? at Satan's rage, And lace a ;rowniu worm. Good bye! May heaven guard and bloss Your lootsteps day by dav; The old house will be looesome, John, When you are gone away. The cricket's song upon the hearth Will have a sadder tone; '1 be old familiar spots will be So lonely when you're gone. Starbird's Feat on Skates. e> At the time ot our trouble with the Uncpapas, six years ago, Company G. oJ the ?th regiment, was stationed on the Upper Missouri at Fort Gakpin, where I was in command. I speak of it as "Company'' G, though in point of fact we could not then muster more than seventeen men, a?cl were altogether in a sorry plight?away up therein the midst of two or three hun dred Sioux warriors, every one of whom had better arms than the government furnished us. Trouble had been brewing for four or five months. It is hard to say just what the cause was. In fact the Uncpapas had been "good" Indians about as long at they wanted to be, and were perhaps spoiling {or a little war. Their first hostile act was tocaptuie a soldier who had received his discharge, and was 011 his way east with a party of teamsters. He was waylaid while antelope-shooting at a distance from his party, and taken (still wearing his uniform) to one of their villages, was tortured and killed after their most approveu fashion. Such at least was the report. Three or lour weeks later the Indians attacked a party of teamsters iibout fifteen miles from this same village. Kvery man was killed and the wagons were robbed. Next day the savages rode to the fort and had the audacity tc show us the coats they had taken frou: the poor men, some of them stained with blood. ? rtf fniirsc we were indignant unci eager to retaliate, but what could w< do? We were so few tint we did no! dure to stir outside the sto> kade, and w< lived in hourly expectation of an attacl which we liad little hope of being abli to resist. For the I'ncpapas were i ow being joined by numbers of the worsi charade; s frotn other neighboring tribes of Sioux, who, like hungry wolves, ?vere drawn to the place whert there was a prospect of bloodshed. Meanwhile cold weather came on and the river froze over. There wai not much snow, but just a thin layer o; it over the hard frozen ground and ice For more than ^afcmonth no couriers from below had come to us, nor had J dared to send out messengers. But al length it became necessary, in view o the threatening Inutility -of the In dians, to communicate with Forti Union and Buford, at all hazards. On the morning of the nineteenth o November the men were called to gether, and after telling them of mi dislike to detail one of tliam for such s ?prvicp. I inouived whether either ol them would volunteer to take a dis patch to Fort Union?a distance of nearly or quite one hundred miles. Thfre was hesitation, a? 1 had expeeu>. X?? one responded for som< minute?.# 1'resently a private namec Freeman'A. Star bird stepped from th< ine and s?.id he would try it, if h< could be furnivhed with a good pair o skates. Starbird was a young man of aboul twenty-three, from some of the Easteri States, New Hampshire, I think. Hii name was Freeman Amariah Starbird I remember the middle name dis tinctly, because the boys used jocoselj to-call him "Ann Maria," from the sim ilarity of the sounds. He was a long-legged, rather tal youngster, with a clear, brown com plexion, black eyes and black hair; t L'ood soldier, who took what tame ant never grumbled. Can you skate, Starbird?" I asked "Oh, 1 used to skate a little," saic he. "1 rather guess I can get dowi to Fort Union by night?if I don't col << to too many open stretches." "And the redskins don't shoot yoi from the bank," some one in the iin< added, very audibly. '* Von will hardly reach Fort Unioi in onu day," I aaid. But I was only to< gjad to accept the offer of his services %J Tr?/i inn ttffAn f unt Mr. w 1 ? me iuui.... .-0v..v trader at the post, liad in his stock som< slotto. From these Starbird selected i pair; and meantime 1 wrote a dispatcl to Major P at Fort Union, inform inu him of the peril we were in. Within twenty minutes Starbird wai * L,!-- -- i.Jo otm-ps Rt. th? rivpr OU'-'xnng ou iiu ? ? ? bark. An ordinary knapsack, stuffet with bread and meat, and a revolve: and knife in his belt, completed hi: equipments. .Jumping to his feet, in circled out upon the river, then coinin< round, bedashed past us, with a smar military saluie, and skimmed ay?: down the broad stream, at the riite o fifteen miles an hourThesur. ha4 ri9Pn bright in the gauze k like winter haze. Every bush sparkled i i, with frosty pendants. There was .just a j j dust t>f dry snow on the smooth ice, not enough to impede skates. A.way wont r, j our man round a high bluff, at a bend, , ^ half a mile below. j We hoped, and rather thought, that we^ , he might not fall in with any of the In- F I dians; and no very great uneasiness and was felt for him. Had we known, how- gen j ever, what perils he wjis passing through Paci I that morning, our hearts would have S! thrilled with fear. j rati For the first twenty or twenty-live els | miles below the fort, the river is very the I crooked, flowing in a series of great g. ! bends, or "bows," as they are termed, ' maj i tirst to north, then to south. Kound ^wj] ! these bends Stairbird glided at a racing Sati: pace, for he was fresh and the morning met was bracing- He had gone seven or jn ^ eight miles, when, as he was doubling a q point covered with hisrh cotton woods ! and straggling firs, he suddenly saw the , ; smoke of a camp-fire. It >vas just round the point, to the in- V" c side, below. Ue was within two or . -i ' tlimo ImnHrofl v.ivda nf it. thp t.rpp-tnns having prevented his seeing it before., . Tj ! A party of Uncpapas, as was snbsej tjuently learned from the Indians them: Delves, was camping there lor the pur- ; J?',1 pose of cutting off scouts from below or '.lin( I above. ('m Starbird might have turned back, Part ! and probably would, if he had foreseen PI '' ; what was to follow. But on the spur of skir ! the moineat he determined to give them in ft . the "go by." Striking off toward the of c , further bank, he shot down the river: plus like an antelope. plus At this point the Missouri is from ' tong 1 three to four hundred yards in width, plai : Starbird had veered ofT so as to put j y, , rather more than half the width of the ; witi i channel between himself and the right . llUaj ; shore. Before he hart got down fairly are . opposite the smoke a lourt whoop, fol- ! sasi] lowed by a chorus of Sioux yells, told ' 0f tl him he was spen. nn t , Seven or eight redskins dashed out oi ' of*tf 1 the bullies, down the bank, with their p guns, and crack came shots upon the | i air, and bullets skipped past Starbird's r le*s, and screamed along the ice. M j | bvery Indian shot at him.one after the i . < other; but he was lunging ahead so ' -t] ' swiftly it is no great wonder they failed jjk to hit him. In half a minute he was > far past them, and not a little elated j j with his feat, he turned his face and j" | twinkled his fingera at them in a lively : ?r fashion. I A prolonged whooping answered this signal of defiance. There was a long, we" I straight stretch ahead, down which , a c I Starbird flew at full speed, thinking himself safe from that party at least j of But he did not' know the ground as ! an(i well as the redskins knew it. Glancing \ yar( | back a minute later, he saw that four or j ha.d j five of them had crossed the ice and ; beiP , were hurriedly mounting the bluffs of, satl] ; the other bank. Yet he did not at once i ^JIS 'mistrust what they intended?which fPe! was te cut himoli'at the next "bow." >lme' j For some three or four miles below, j or:ir i the river turns north again, sweeping j ?cal round in a majestic bend. By running j !,ac' I overland, not much more than two 1111 j miles, the Indians would reach the j Ie I river, whereas Starbird had to skate . are l more than seven miles to reach the same 1 cies j point. I is a Not knowing this, and seeing that, the ' effec ! savages were not in pursuit on the ice, : otlu J Starbird went on for a couple of miles, ?f Jc :md then rested for ton or fifteen min-! and ' utes, and took breath. if1?1" ; To his surprise, just as hn was start- ')Juf ing out from the hank to go on, he saw i tw | two Indians coming after him on skates,' tinti a mile back up the river. i J?u,s : He watched their skating a moment, (:?lo i or two, and concluding from their i surf ] movements that he could keep out of j 'onU ' their way, he struck off again at ordi- j j nary speed.

Some hair-dressers ar- \ range it rather lower in the back, with , a few very short curls, just falling below the torsade. The bouquet worn in the , hair must match the flowers on the toilet. Garlands of flowers are at present preferred for the purpose; they are without leaves, and terminate in a small bunch, which may be surrounded by a 3hell-shaped lace trimming. This is fastened on the left side near the ear, so Lhat the hair falls a little below the flowers. A ribbon bow or a velvet rosette may be arranged in the same manner. Another can De placed Ot the side of the hair in the ne^ /. \ style of coiffure is called the "anneaux ie Diane." It consists of a piece of : waved hair, with very short curls, < placed a little apart. A very charming 1 way of arranging the hair for young iadies who do not wish to wear false hair and have hut little of their own, is the " coiffure a la grecque," which consists of gilt bands, with the hair in be- , iween, slightly raised. Necklaces of rntique cameos are sometimes used in place of the bands, with a bow or a kind :>f rosette in a narrow, bright-colored > satin ribbon on the side. A Bint to Wive*.

The Herring. The herring, thoueh a small fish, is commercially attractive enough to often ind its own prospects of peace and longevity seriously endangered. Its diminutive size causes if. to suffer more from finny enemies than either the cod or the mackerel, and its spawning capacity is comparatively feeble?a mere trifle of thirty thousand eggs, which the mackerel exceeds by fifteen or twenty times, ind the cod by a hundred or more. And yet there seems no limit to the quantity of herring. Were tlie demand many times as great as it is, it could ( easily be supplied from this side of the 1 jcean. This is doubtless due in great 1 measure to the peculiar security enjoyed | by the spawn and the young. Instead I if floating, orifice downward, like the ?ggs of most other fish, herring spawn jinks to the bottom, the orifices of the ?ggs being upward, and as it is deposited in deep water, there are but few fish :hat interfere with it. The young, finding no loving parent to guide their youthful steps, sensibly remain close to ;heir birth-place, feeding upon diatoms ind the smaller crustacea, until they j *row old pnoueh and strong enough to venture abroad. Migratory only to a imiled extent.it is probable that the i erring changes its base only on ac ount 'of annoyance from larger fish. They are cauglit inrhore by many varieties of seines and pounds, and the 100k lias occasionally been tried upon hem by self-sufficient city youths, irged thereto by sea-shore hoys who vished to remove the conceit from their isitors. To attempt to Jure with hook .nd line a fish which can not bite, but j ives wholly by suction, and to spend j ong hours at the attempt, under the J itimulus of some wonderful story about J jow many some other city youth caught n the same way, is very stimulative of )nc's memory of the imprecatory Psfdms md of other Scripture as misquoted by ;he wicked. The herring inhabits cold wnter. the ine ot Long Island sound being its louthern boundary, while it is far to he north that it must be Bought in luantity. The secret of the selection of' )articular localities for fish homes seems ixplained by an examination of the ; :ourse of ths great arctic current. This j )odv of coid water, starting from tiie i Spitsbergen seas, flows westerly until it! ? itrikes the Greenland coast, when it I * :hanges its course to the southward, ^ md carries great masses of cold water nto localities the latitudeof which leads J me to look for a high temperature in < he water. It is a branch of this cur- ? eut that enables the cod to live and nultiply about Block island and Nan-1 * ucket shoals, in water al forty degrees, | { vhile farther north bathers at the! fl >each luxuriate in water at seventy de- j ;rees. The same current forces its wny j( nto the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which is t he most profitable fishing ground in 1 he world, and probably has something h o do with the phenomenal tides of the s Say of Fundy. This current brings not f mly cold water, but food for the fish. c "his food consists of diatoms and other T iiinutc forms of veeetable and animal i ife. Coming into existence in a lati- J ude higher than that of the fish tl atde- j, our it, this food is swept southward g iy the great arctic cum-nt, and wher- i ver it is found the waters are almost i < live with Qsh. Professor Hind say>' r liat although the sea off Canada and j he United States appears abundant in j 1 ife. it is nevertheless almost a desert i c ompared with the Northern seas, par- j r icularly on the Labrador and Green- i and coasts. There the ocenn at times j i eems to be thick with fish, and to such j c n extent that during a single night the I J emperature of the water will be mate-j ially influenced by animal life.?i labherlori, in Harper's Maqazine. A Co-operative Trade Society. ? a As one immediate result of George ' racob Holyoake's visit to Cincinnati, ] nd his public lecture there, a co-opera- [ ive trade society has been incorporated, t >eginning with a capital stock of $5,000, f n shares of five dollars. Its aim is to upply its members and the public with t rroceries, provisions, aud merchandise ? if every description and of the best < luality, at the current market price, he profits to be shared by all concerned * n creating it. 1 The Rochdale plan of equitable dis- I ribution, as practiced in Rochdale, 8 ? H MIam/I ?? ? /I ?M W (" /vf KAI? ^ imKiuuu, UUU ill tiiuusiuiua Ui wiuw tores in Great Britain, and as expounded >y Mr. Holyoake, has been adopted as he only true theory of co-operative disribution. It is nearly perfect in securng full eauity for all interested. It is )ii?ed on these principles: 1. At business meetings each sharelolder is entitled to one vote, and no nore. no matter how many share" he nay hold, and that vote must be caat n person. 2. As the customer contributes to the business of the store, he will receive a | ill are of the profits in proportion to the imount of his purchases. Share-holders vill be entitled to two-thirds of the net jvofits: all other purchasers one-third. 3. Six per cent, interest will be paid o share-holders on their investment. Capital is treated simply as an agent, ] md not as a principal, and interest is j iounted as one of the expenses to be paid ! jefore profits arc accounted. 4.

The society also acts in the 1 ! rnture of a. savings bunk, with this dif- 1 erence in its favor: That, whereas, to J iccumulate funds in a savings bank, the j c iraount to be deposited to your credit j f nust first be saved, in- reality, by your- ! ? ielf, and then deposited to your own : ( jredit?in the co-operative store, you < simply patronize the store, paying cash | t or a pure article, and at as low a price !

A daily line of v( steamers renders it easy of access from L. ^ Jacksonville, and other points upon the w 1- river. This plantation covers an area u, 3I of several acres, and contains over ten <t< ol thousand plants, most of them in bear- jj, ing. The plants are of different varie- uj 01 ties. Some of them are huge trees, u, 3.d twenty feet high, with a trunk from six m ir tD eight inches in diameter, while others, >h and probably the largest number, are m 'x of the dwarf species, standing from six u, n* to eight feet high, with a trunk from 8j' x four to five inches in diameter. t _ V T>U? oa nulti-tratod in fhill nli , J. lie UillltUlU) mo vu1mtwwu q. n- mate, boars no visible seed, but it is tj, ie propaeated from slips or cuttings,which ar ie bear transplanting well, and grow with V( re great rapidity. These slips are gener- ? ** ally planted about eight feet apart; if it ' i'1 is the dwarf species, an acre of good lt ground will contain from sit "hundred t ** to seven hundred plants. They require * a deep, rich soil, and considerable * T". moisture. It has no season, but the ea fruit matures generally la from eleven of to thirteen months from the date ot _ n- planting, and, by properly timing the id planting, ripe fruit may be obtained at all seasons ?f the year. , Soon a leaf of this blossom opens at * r- the pointed end, and rolls back to the si ol base, disclosing a row of five or six tiny ? ? bananas, nestled closcly together, as if B hiding under the shelter ol this protect- fj lje ing leaf. Each miniature fruit has a flaxen yellow flower at the end, with w re a stigma projecting through it. Other b; ?d leaves of the blossom unfold one after Bi b- another in the same way, until twenty 04 at or thirty Clusters of fruit are developed, & all clinging to one stem, when these leaves wither and fall, and the fruit ? * sweils and lengthens to maturity,which a requires generally about three or four p< * months. The great stem on which the fruit grows bends under its weight until ^ the long, finger-like fruit bangs down bi in graceful clusters. Each plant bears in but a single branch of fruit, and then id withers and dies; but, while the fruit is o id maturing, there spring up from the base of the trunk several offshoots, ? which take the place of the old plant j>| when that has been removed, and go on ... growing to the full size of the parent r, >K tree* ' c< of The fruit, when grown full size, be- 0i ,? gins to show streaks of yellow upon its a i- deep-green skin, when it should be g^)therea for shipment to market.

An acre of ? ground will readily support 600 plants. 3 Suppose the bunches to average seventy- a [. five bananas each, and we have an an- * e'm nual income of $900 from & single acre. = [n The cost of preparing and enriching the c. ground and' setting the plants the first i6 year, including the cost of the slips, will ft ul average, say, one dollar per plant, leav- B le ing a "profit of $300; but they perpetuate fr "3 themselves alter the first year, thus ft] nt leaving the $900 net lor the second and 1j nt succeeding years.

This very obstinate .malady, the more | s. effectually to overcome it, ahpuld be grappled ! i_ with at the outset. Every one knows what; terrible, what ceaseless pain it can Inflict. 31 Why then, should this atrocious, often fatal complaint be allowed to gain headway through ^ a- indifference to Jta earliest symptoms, when a ? 3i safe, long tested and strongly recommended medicine, presents itself. In addition to aug- m, ie gesting this a means ol relief it seems not in- ?, IT, uppropriute to caution the rheumatic against Is it- exposure. J* 'c The Heat ltubbcr Boot. ; djj f.' 'l'here is nothing better lor a farmer or out- F> v ? (J4 ie door man than a good rubber boot, and nothing so exasperating as a bad one.

Some foots of interest not generalv town were presented by Mr. B. V. Bad, assi6tant keeper of coins in the itish museum, in a paper read before e Banker's Institute, London. Twice ily in the history of the human race : as there an effort made to introduce ;heoretically-perfect system of weights id measures. The Babylonians were e first to make the attempt to refer I the designations of quantity and exnsion to one and the same unit. Not 3s than 3,000 years elapsed before the ixt experiment in the same direction as made, and the credit of it is due to e French. With all the agencies at e command of people ia the nineteenth ntury of the Christian #ra, the introiction of the metric syftem into general ie has been painfully slow, and it may aily be conceived why the Babylonians d not make their unit standard a permanent success. As to the coining of oney, the Lydians are believed to have vented that art about 700 B. C. The rliest coins were composed of elecirum, natural combination of gold and silver, und in the washings of the river Pac'lus. This coinage lasted for about 150 iars. when Croesus introduced a biotallie currency of gold and silver, hich became general throughout Asia itil the time of Alexander the great. he ratio between gold and silver was ced at one to 1 3.5. European Greece id a silver monometallic currency itil the discovery of the rich gold ines at Philippi in the reign of Philip ' Macedon when the currency of that onarch was made bimetallic to keep d the price of gold as compaied with lver?a device which proved lutile. lexander returned to the old system, it, though gold coins were still made, ;ev were regarded simply as bullion, id moiiumetallism henceforth was unijraal. even in Asia. The change from double to a single standard in Asia as rendered possible by the sudden detention of gold, consequent upon lexanderte dispersion of the hoarded >ld of the kings of Persia. There are 389 Unitarian ministers in le United States. THE MABKETS.rawxomx 1 sef Oattle?Med. Natives, Ure wt.. O8\0 10 JrM-8Ut?
