VIR. RUSSET AT SARATOGA. VTlien the doctors recommended six veeks at Sarutoea to Reuben Russet, hey possibly didn't think of Pennie Foyce. Doctors arc apt to be men of >ne idea. Mr. Russet's digestive ap >aratus was certainly out of order; but ittie Miss Joyce's heart?that was quite mother thing. Mr. Russet was a young theological student, with pale brown liair, an intellectual face, and a slight stoop in the ihoulders. Pennie Joyce was a farmer's rose-cheeked daughter, the eldest of a arge family of children, and one of those thrifty girls who understand the whole theory and practice of houskeeping from (\.lpha to Omega. To become a minister's wife was a visible promotion to aer, and she exulted in it. in her quiet way. But to be separated from him for lix whole weeks?that was a trial. "The time will soon pass, my love," laid Reuben, in the slightly patronizing nanner which he affected toward Pennie. " Yes, I know it will, dear," said Penlie. valiantly trying to smile. " And I shall write every day." " That will be so good of you!" said Pennie. "And really, you know, Pennie, a nan whose mission is to reach the soul jught to have a little knowledge of uuruannaiure." " Yes, of course," assented the girl. " And where can one obtain it so vreil is at one of these great human hives where the fashionable world congregates ?" "To be sure!" said Pennie. " t only wish you were going,1' he nclded, affectionately. Pennie sighed softly. "Of course that is out of the question," said she. Farmer Joyce shook his head when he heard the dictum of the medical man. "Saratogy, ndeed!"saidhe. " I don't believe Saratogy is a bit better than our spring down by the maple grove. I'd venture Reub Russet'd be well enough it he'd go out and weed onions half an bour every morning; and besides, I've heerd there's a lot of temptation at a place like Saratogy." " I dare say," said Pennie, with mild superiority, "for some people. But tveuuen is aoove mat sort ot triing." "Humph!" said Farmer Joyce. "I ain't so sure of that." " Father, how can you?' cried the indignant girl, bristling up like a hensanary. "Human natur1 is human natur', whether it's at Saratoey or any other place," stoutly maintained the farmer. Mr. Russet went to Saratoga and took rooms at a fashionable boarding-house, near the Ilathorn spring. He walked up and down the elm-shaded paths with Lwo little devotional books, of a morning, listened to the band, and studied DUt telling sentences for possible sermons, in the atternoon, and edged himself modestly into the glittering ballrooms of the monster hotels at night, when the German was in full career. " Merely to stu-iy my fellow-creatures!" said Mr. Russet, as he adjusted his eve-glasses. " Such a delightful study!" said Miss Gushington Gordon, who blazed with jewels, and wore long-trained skirts, such as Mr. Ru;set never had beheld at Raspberry Vale. Miss Gushington Gordon had the best rooms at the house, the largest wardrobe, And the most brilliant necklaces. Rumor called her a great heiress, and Mr. Russet found her very asreeable. Slie had big, purple-blue eyes, hair of the real Roman gold, a complexion svuich was undeniably a work of art, ind a soft, languid voice, whose syllables dropped from her lips like globules jf silver. "Life is such a vacuum!" said Miss jrushington Gordon. "My experience exactly!" said the ?oung theoiogica: student, who was fast osing bis head. "At least," corrected the beauty, "I mve always found it so until now. But four grand grasp of subjects, your readng of the book of existence has someiow awakened me to a new sense of liings!" Mr. Russet grew red to the very roots )f his hair, with a pleasurable tinling. ' 1 am but too proud," he stammered, 'if I have succeeded in unraveling any jroblem which?" ' Oh!" cried Miss Gushington Gordon, 'have I said too much? Pray, pray brgive my impulsiveness! I am the ireature of eojotion!" She put out a little, sparkling hand svitb bewitching frankness to the spectacled student. Mr. Russet gave it a ;entie pressure, and for?ot to drop it igain. jliiiit woo buc inn uay mat,ut; uiuiliuu ;o write to little PeneJope Joyce, at the e<i farmhouse in Raspberry Vale. "She won't be so foolish as to expect l letter by every ruaii," he said, a little mpatiently. At the end of the six weeks he came loine. Pennie met him at the railway tation, with her dimpled lips put up or a kiss. " I may as well tell you, at ones, Penlip?" he began. But just then Dcacon Oberne came up, mh that vise-like hand-grip of his, and here was no chance to say more until hey parted at the cross-roads, by the aill. I " Perhaps it is just as well," said the I heological student, to himself. "I'll! mte to her tbat i have changed my | uiud, and engaged myself to Antoi- i letie Gushington Gordon. I ought to j tave written Irom Saratoga, but one [reads to tend such a letter." Mr. Russet feit as if he had behaved rery like t scoundrel, now that he was j emovt'd from the magnetic influence of j he heiress and her jewels. " But of course," he pleaded, before ; he tribunal of his own conscience, "a j nan devoted to my profession should I elect the sphere in which he can do ! hemostfrood. And with Antoinette1* I vealth and position, I am morally ccrain of rapid advance in the world." But, somehow, the ietter would not ;ttitse.f written. To do a a contemptble action, is one thing, to confess it >oldly to one's fellow creatures, is anither. Two or three days passed, and still i?uben Russet could not bring himself o tell .Ptnnie Joyce -about the Saratoga leiress, with the purple-blue eyes and below, silver-syllabled voice. I'ennie watched him, wistfully. ' He is changed," she admitted to hereJf; -'butof course I could hardly exect him always to be just the same. >nly?only?" And the tears came into Pennie's eyes, tie scarcely knew why, and she blamed erself for being " such a foolish little owe." But, one sultry summer evening, Mr. Russet did force himself to write the letter?a vague, mysterious sort of jii missive, containing only one plain fact w ?that he was engaged to Miss Gush- b< ington Gordon. ai And, as he wrote it, he feit more and cc more what a fatal mistake he had made pi in giving up Pennie Joyce's true, ci womanly heart for the artificial smiles se of the Saratoga belle. tr As he folded and sealed it, the land- in lady's little boy handed in the evening rc mail?two papers and a letter. ti A letter from one Ernest Valdez, bi whose acquainfance he had made at pi Saratoga?an idle, good-humored young re fellow, with no harm in him, and a deal ai ol latent good. n< Mr. Valdez wrote w " We are all progressing much the w same as ever. We drink the waters, tc we criticise the music, we watch for the bi incoming trains. By the way, you v: surely haven't forgotten that tall girl at si your house, with the curious pansy- c( colored eyes and the magnificently-dyed p< hair? Miss Gushington Gordon, you fi know? Well, she has turned out a b< humbug?an imposition?a stupendous tr fraud. It seems she is only a lady's- sn maid, the whole time, and she has been di skillfully masquerading in her mistress' ta wardrobe, during that lady's absence at if the sick-bed of a dying relation. si " Mrs. Montague lias come back; the in 'daw in borrowed feathers' has been ci stripped of her gay plumage, and Miss si Gushington Gordon, with her imitation si diamonds, and second-hand airs and ai graces has disappeared entirely from the m arena. w "Some say she has been arrested; li others declare that Mrs. Montague has m forgiven uer, o?i condition 01 ner retir- y: ing to her native place, in an obscure in English town. At all events, she has vanished from the stage of action, and the places that knew her once now know her no more." Three or four closely-written pages of 18 gossip and clever satire followed, but ?3 Reuben Russet never paused to glance at these. He sprang from his chair with ~i an exclamation ol relief. "That Providence!" he exclaimed, p)t "that I am no longer bound to that false-hearted, hollow pretender! Little Pennie is worth ten thousand of . her." J3 He tore up the letter of confession, j.r and went straight to spend the evening at the Joyce farmhouse, and innocent c< ittle Pennie never knew how nearly that 01 season at Saratoga had cost her her P. lover. 81 As for Reuben Russet, he is a wiser if 2; not a sadder man. And he wants no more lessons in human nature. - lb The Ilisterj of Drams. C( Drummers and their drums are to be P| eliminated from the French armyby the ^ reforming zeal of General Farre, and nj that the infantry soldier will not march " better in consequence of this innova- 11 tion may be safely predicted, for any at- ?( tempt he may have made hitherto to t( keep step has been mainly due to the ? ratoplan. Comparatively little importante, however, is attached in France to regularity of step, though a regiment which makes any show of it i3 invari- * ably the most cheered at reviews, this " being one of the inconsistencies preva- o: lent here which it would be vain to at- C( tempt explaining. The minister of war ? explained before the budget committee ? that his reason for adopting the change b is uecaiujuurumiuersareuuLcumoaianui, ~ so he proposes to replace them by trumpeters, who do come under that d category. Like the white leather aprons ri of the sappers, wiiich have disappeared for some time, the little parchment covered cylinders are henceforth doomed. I do not know whether tiie origin of the g, drum has ever been traced by some pa- d tient inquirer. We have been told that ^ it comes to us from the East, and that t; the Moors first brought it into Europe, b Certain is the fact that the most savage tl races have always rejoiced in their tam- it tams, and as the pleasure of making a f< noise is inherent in human nature, per- si haps this most effective way of creating fi a din was invented by Adam's sons or p grandsons. But the drum does not v appear to have been used in the French h army until toward the close of the four- n tcenth century, and its introduction is n attributed to the English invasion under ft Edward III.; its geneial adoption by s< the infantry dates back to the time of " Louis XI., when the Swis3 element was ij largely infused into the royal forces, tl The drum at that epoch was a shapeless c instrument, and served more for rallying n flirt trrvnrvc at fnr tho rvf tho n word of command than for regulating b tbe step, which was far from being as tl measured as it is now. Each captain d had a drummer in his private iivcry, n and he employed him to carry his orders ci or his instructions, as much as (or beat- tl ingtlie word of command; the drum* "w mer in those days appears to have been ii a kind of aid-de-camp. The covering o was usually made (rom the hide of some v animal?generally of an ass?though if q it be true I hat John Zisca, ,the avenger I of Huss, bequeathed his skin to o his gallant companions in arms to ? form tbe covering of a drum e which was to summon them in case il of danger, material more nob.e was at a least once made to serve tbe purpose, " The drum was not used lor drilling w infantry to keep step until the middle of k the eighteen tli century, and the roll v such as we now know it was only regu- 11 luted some hundred years ago. The drummer's art then became more difficult, and to perfect it regimental schools were established, the master of which \\ was tbe drum-major, who in recent times wa3 still such a prominent and f( pupuuu puiauuagc 111 cn^u ricuuu ic^iment. Tlie period of his greatest glory v was the first empire* when the drum c major of the Grenadiers of the Guard n bad rank as a captain and wore a uni- p form which cost Napoleon $600. Under h the restoration and the monarchy of h July, drum-majors were given to the y regiments of firemen, and even to those ^ of the national guard, but of late years ti their prestige has diminished in a great a extent, and also their stature; they are a no longer such imposing clothes-horses, b all lace and feathers, towering ahove F ordinary mortals; the race has in fact o been visibly deteriorating. Such as they si are, however, they will now disappear t< from the head of French regiments with * their drums ?London Posl. v ai A Smart Dog. ai A Dubuque lady has a dog whose p education has been so well attended to ? that it would seem to be about finished. ^ A couple of days ago she went calling w and forgot that she had locked the dog in the house. When she returned she fc found her music laid out piece by piece tl on the chairs in the parlor, and a hun- p( dred and one things carried from all u parts of the house scattered around the tl floor. For his pains he got a wbhck C( on the back with a parasol handle, at tj which lie took offense, lef\ went to the I lady's mother's, and staid there until he w was coaxed home. He seemed to think n( lie hud to do something to make up for hi past conduct, and the next morning he f walked into the house with a fine dress in his mouih, wagging his tail as proudly as if he had done something especially worthy of commendation IIow he got the dress is a mystery. The lady had loaned it a day or two before > to a friend to cut a pattern from it. A little time explained the matter. The : dog walked into the strange lady's house . and saw his mistress' dress spread on the Door, as is probably done in the 0j pattern-cutting process. He evidently (j( recogniz d it, made a dive ai, the lady ^ as if he wanted a piece of her veal for ftj lunch. She made a dive for the next ce room nnd peeked at him tim'dly through the crack of the door whiio he ftr' deliberately roiled that dress up, grabbed m it in his mouth and shot out of ihe door <pj as if he fiad found a piece of property on ^ which there was a reward offered. The jj, lady was iti a wicked state of mind, for ]q the borrowed dress was a silk one, and w she fancied it was gone forever. She w hurried to her lriend's house nnd was CJ astonished to Had that the dress was there before her, :md the dog seemed to (j? think she had no business about the 0f premises.

This ] it-, ia nmrtnnspH nf solid or margarine i it and liquid of olein. Winter butter 3ntains, of solid frit, sixty-five parts in ] ne hundred, summer butter only forty J arts. Tbia fact explains why milk jould be churned at different temper- i tures in difl'erent seasons of the year. 1 'his fat, oily substance, in the forms of lobules, is formed in suspension in the 1 lilk. By the mechanical action of the f burn, the envelopes of the globules are roken, and the globules brought into sbesion and separated from the other i ortions or components of the cream. < ly the clieimicai process the sugar of I lilk is converted into lactic acid, and le bulk of the fluid, which was put ] lto the sweet churn is instantly < )ured. Boussingault prescribes the i jmperature for churning to be fifty- 1 ine degrees for sweet cream, sixty-two 1 egrees for sour cream and sixty-four i egrees for milk. About one-fourth of : le total amount of butter globules 1 rhich exist in the cream escape collec- 1 on, which accounts for the rich taste i f the buttermilk.

If you once fall behind it may be very iiflicult to make up the headway which is lost. One who begins with putting iside some part of his earnings, however small, and keeps it up for a number of years, is likely to become rich before lie. lies. One who inherits property, and ioes on year by year spending a little more than his income, will become poor if he lives Ion? enough. Living beyond their means has brought multitudes of persons to ruin in our generation. It is ?he cause of nine-tenths of all the defalcations which have disgraced the age. Bankers and business men in general do not often help themselves to other pco pleV money until their own funds begin to fall off, and their expenditures exceed Lheir receipts. A man who is in debt walks in the midst of perils. It cannot but impair a man's self-respect to know that he is living at the expense of others. It is also very desirable that we should keep somewhat ahead in our work, rhis may not be possible in all cases; is, for instance, when a man's work is assigned to certain fixed hours, like that of the operatives of a mill. But there are certain classes of people who can choose their time for the work which they are called to do, and among them are some who invariably put oft the [ask assigned them as long as possible, and then come to performances horrin/mfncoH ?n U'TU, JJjCX piUACU, aUAUUO) wiliuuvu iajl 3ucli a state of mind as certainly unfits them for doing their best work.

You suffer from it for years, and yet you don't go to a doctor, or if you do you derive very little benefit from his advice Some people suffer from it at night only, while others are troubled with it in the daytime as well. It occurs most frequently in women, but still you often hear men complain of it. We believe that the best remedy is hypophosphite of lime in one or two grain doses twice a day. 1 his is soluble in water, and should be taken in the form of a mixture, nothing else being put with it, with the exception, if you like, of ft teaspoonful oi syrup, to make it palatable, although it is really by no means disagreeable by itself. Another ?ood remedy is nux vomica?five drops Sf the tincture in a little water three or four times a day. It is highly recommended, and you may hope for great things from it. Then you must do all ?ou possibly can to improve the state of four general health. It is probable that you are beiow par someliow or other, ilthough we must admit that it does not lollow of necessity. If you feel generally jut of sorts, and your appetite is poor, juinine will do you good. If you are mle and an asnemic, you must put your aith in iron.

In such a wreck escapo was, of course, slow, especially in the fog of steam, and tho sufferings of the prisoners must havo been lrightlul. Their groans and cries are described with shuddering by those in the other cars who heard them. Many wero unable to extricate themselves at all, and a number in doing so plunged into the creek, which fortunately was low. So terrible was the force of the collision that the engine lairly plowed a farrow half way into the car, the root of the latter beiDg lifted over tho smokestack of the locomotive.

Bat-Shooting for the Championship. I The Sacramento (Cal.) Union of a recent date says: At the shooting ground on Scott's ranch, American river bridge, there was a very interesting meetine of shot-gun men yesterday. The attendance wa3 even larger than usual, prinj cipally on account of the fact that Messrs. Ruhstaller and Jackson were toshoot at bats for the championship cup, which the former had won at a previous shoot. The bats provided for the occasion proved to be unusually lively, and flying like jacksnipe, with many a turn and twist, caused the men at the trap to miss frequently. Two or three matches took place prior to the contest for the cup. but no one was able to muke a "clean score." It did not cause much surprise, therefore, when Ruhstaller and Jackson shot, that their sr?nrpq were small, even though lhey were much below the average. The result was: Ruhstaller, Tourteen; Jackson, fifteen. The cup was presented to Mr. Jackson by J. W. Todd, in a felicitious speech, and the recipient responded briefly but to the point.

The Fntnre Queen of England. The London correspondent of the Boston Herald, writing of the recent grand fair at Kensington house, says: I have aeen her royal highness more than once, but never admired her so much as when she came up the steps, surrounded by her shy little daughters. No wonder the English love ana revere the Danish princess who has made so good a wife and mother. What man would not die for Alexandra, as he saw her, leading her three little girls, the personification of all that is lovely and admirable in woman! The Princesses Victoria, Louise and Maude almost clung to thoir mother's skirls as they mounted in a group to the terrace, clad in their simple blue dresses. The Princess of Wales wore an exquisite costume of heliotrope silk, shot with gold and trimmed with white lace: in her hand she carried a large bouquet of camellias and other white flowers. She acknowledged the sweeping courtesies of some of the ladies and the respectful salutations of the crowd of visitors with a dignity in which there was no trace of stiffness. Her " ?"f iana atill frpah and almostffirlish. despite her wifehood and maternity made all other "beauties" seem either pale or common beside her, for it is truth, and not flattery, to say that the princess remains the prettiest woman in England. A boy will go in swimming and fool around the water for hours together; but when told to wash his face he will have almost a hydrophobic dread of half a pint of water in a basin.?New Haven Register.
