We Can Make Home Happj. ] Though we may not change the cottage J For mansions tall and grand, ' Or exchange the little grass-plot 1 For a Uound'osa stretch of land ; Yet there is something brighter, dearer, Than tho wealth we'd thus command. ; Though we have no means to purchase Costly pictures rich and rare; Though we have not silken hangings For tho walls so coM and bare, We can hang them o'er with garlands, For flowers bloom everywhere. We can make home very cheerful, Ifthe right course we begin ; We can make its inmates happy, And their truest blessings win ; Tf ^.ill ??l-? o -.11 ninni If wo let tho sunshine in. We can gather round the fireside When the evening hours are long; We can bieud our hearts and voices In happy social song; We can guide some erring brotherLead him from the path of wrong. We may fill our home with music, And with sunshine brimming o'er, If against all dark intruders We will firmly close tho door ; Yet should the evil shadow enter, We must love each one the more. There are treasures for the lowly Which tho grandest fail to find ; There's a chain of sweet alToction Between friends of kindred mind ; Wo may reap the choicest blessings From the poorest lot assigned. LAGNIAPPE. I "Why do I wear a dog's tooth set in j gold for a watch chorm ? Ah, boys, it i is to remind me of an infirmity that j has brought Jack Camp'i a trouble ever ! since be learned to talk. To begin at the right, end: i was j just twenty-fivo when my father bought me a plantation up in the swam}), j where fortunes are still to be made in spite of the changes of war. You Northern folks don't know much ! about life on the banks of tho old Ivlis? I eissip, that's a fact. Strange that nature should make it ' easy in the swamp to do everything but j ?live! Some people say you must be ; half alligator to get along there; but j as for me I was always tongh. Cotton ; and corn grow higlici* than tho head of | a man 011 Viopaeba:;k: tlie soil is so fertile I that a Northern farmer in the midst of ! his stony fields would call the tilling it i receives mere child's play; and iu addition to these blessings, youv brains at j some seasons are nearly jolted out of ; yonr head by " the chills." My house stood behind tho grc -m j levee, which from the river made the trees lo >k as if they had no trunks. At nigijt tho fog f 11 and fell upon the low muddy banks, like some one ' carding cotton, and I could see the heud- i ligufe of some steamboat now and then looming up through the dusk like a great red eye, and hear the wild ciies, ; half musical, half uncouth, of tho roust- j abouts. Then came the whistlo? low and hoarse at first, and deep as the bass ; notes of a tremendous organ, and rising and shrilling into a wail of agony. How unutterably melancholy it used to sound, dying hopelessly ou the ; dead, unchanging fl^ts beyond ! Plenty , of sport, too, up there for a hunting man?herds of deer, foxes, wild hogs, j and humbler game, such as 'coons and i 'possums. Well, I went to work with a will, de- | termined to be a model planter. Among 1 other transactions I swapped mv rifle ; j with Jules Bastion, an aged and dried- j 1 up Creole, for a stout-built Texas cob. j "Vait a meenit,"said Juies, hobbling : to the back of his cabin. "1 geeve you lagniappe; I trow heem een." . Lagniappe (pronounced lnnyap), let . me explain, is what the vulgar American calls "boot" Ho returned, bringing ] with him a brown paper bag that might : have contained ehincapins or pindars. Then, as it squirmed slightly, I was stiuck by tho fear that this preseut; 1 might prove to be crawfish, and that Jules would force the repulsive delicacy i' nnon me. I was comforting myself i ' with the thought that I could toss them into the nearest mud-hole on my way 1 L home, when out of the aperture popped a brindled head, all eyes and ears. " Et-t ees a tine leetle puppy dogue," ' . eaid Jules. "Takeheem; he keep off de tief by de night." I thanked the old fellow, and was - l really grateful; for I had no dog, and 11 1 fancied that Lieniappe?so I chiis- j tened him?would prove good company. ' As time developed him ho became a | ^ character study. He was part bulldog j and part hound, with more than a strong dash of cur, I sus-pected. The bulldog strain made him hold ou like grim death < to anything in which he fastened his ! teeth, and from his hound ancestors he < derived the habit of howling systemat- ' ically for an hour at a stretch if you ' wounded his feelings. He had the largest, brightest eyes I ' ever saw, and a trick of rolling them as comically as a negro minstrel. For the < rest he had drooping ears and a tail with < a perpetual curl in it. like a pot-hook. He was not much of a beauty, and he j ( did not use his brains to Roid purpose. * On certain occasions ho showed his I ? low decree most plainly. There was the hunger of generations in him. No ! ' well-brt d doc ever wc-nt into such con- j J vnlsions of delight at feediDg-time. i ' Harold, my father's old Getter, would j < sometimes condescend to a dignified I 1 gambol, but he never turned double j 1 somersaults at sight of a piece of meat, i 1 As Lagniappe grew older Jacinthy, j f my woman-of-all-work, advanced the opinion that he was "a debbiJ," aud, ! * indeed, his conduct warranted the com- j pliment. Everything tearable he tore, i ' "When he found that he could not climb I e upon the table he would pull off the't cloth aud calmly feast among the frag- ' ments of broken crockery. Pillows, j 1 cushions, towels?everything movable, r in short?he conveyed under the house, i r It was part of Jacinthy's regular morn- I I ing work to make pilgrimages thereto, ! s emerging each time with loud groans ' and declarations that her back was j 1 wmos'broke." 't If he had been a child instead of a j t puppy I should have been sure ho was j e going to prove a naturalist, he had such ! a - t? ? t ,.~na *? ! s it mania uu cucuiuirii-". x iu find a small museum on the front gallery every moraine;?several old bones, a tin 3 can, a discarded sun-bonnet and gigan- \ tic shoo of Jacinthy's, besides a dead (1 bird. This bird in particular was : ^ always turning up unexpectedly in the ' ' most malodorous condition. Forcible i J arguments could never persuade Lagni- { v appe that it was offensive. He had a ; a fashion of presenting it to me, after his i * more flagrant misdeeds, as an act of j I propitiation, until it resolved itself into 1 one wing and a few feathers. j v His delight was to snatch the food I out of the very mouth of Max, my i 13 horse; leaping into the trough and scat- ; t tering the corn far and wide. As for having a dog to intimidate i ! thieves, I often wished for a few 1 hieves I I to intimidate this dog. He possessed 1 on incredible impudence. The only j thing that ever put him out of counten- | ancewas a concertina owned by Jaciuthv, I rom which she could draw blood- ! * curdling strains. At the first note he ; ' would utter a howl, and retire under j the house, with his tail between his legs. j Among the members of my household was u lean, ghostly white turkey, with whom Lagniappc waged perpetual war. It was not that lie was openly abusive, j but he bowed and scraped around it ; with such absurd airs of exaggerated j civility that the turkey never could con- 1 , sole its temper. This creature was al- j J ,most as fond of me as Lagniappe was. and some times, after going to iny room, I would hear a ghostly chuckle over- i head, and looking up. there would be 1 ? my feathered friend rooming on the j a tester of the old-fashioned bed. j ? With a'l his faults Lagniappe was affectionate, and loved to sit beside me, v snuggling his black muzzle into my :: hand. Aft'-r all, there's no friend like \ 1 a faithful dog. It never makes any dif- c ference to him whet tier you pro w old , v g* and ugly or lose all your mouey. He ' I bears your kicks and curses patiently, ! 1 * ' and presently, when you are in a good l temper again, ho is ready to wag his tail 1 and frisk about you i Poor Ligniappe ! he brought me one j <1 of the best things in my life. I wish I j 1 had been more grateful, but at that time ! my violent temper often carried me I away. The worst of it was that he did li not confine his depredations to my own , domion, but sometimes made i*aids upon t our neighbors, so that I was several j ii times under tho necessity of restoring c stolen ari icles. All this timo I had been very busy ' getting Ihiugs into running gear, when e one fine day I saw Lagniappe trot into j f the yard with something in his mouth, ! I which ho secreted under tho front steps. I [ followed him, and discovered the ob iect to be a thin blue and gold volum< Df poems. The puppy having been dis missed with a cuff on the ears, I lookec it the fly-leaf, and saw written there " Anne Page. The Oaks." Under this a masculine hand had ap pended the words, " Sweet Anne Page' ?a compliment snubbed by the seven marginal note, " Stuff and nonsense." Then I remembered that my fathe had civen iue a letter of introductioi to a Colonel Page?no doubt this vounj lady's papa. I pictured her tall an< slim anil lair, witu a lace liKe a wnw ro>-e, anil au air of gentle and gvaciou dignity. I intended returning the book im mediately, but each day something pre vented me from doing so, until in th mean time I became quite familiar wit] its contents. Here and there I found word or a line underscored, and there read with redoubled interest. At last I found a leisure afternoon Lagniappe showed an inclination t follow me, but I sternly ordered him t stay at home. Seemingly he bowed t fate, for he lingered beside the hedge snilling at the leaves, and giving a pas? iug tweak to the turkey's tail?almos humming a tune, in fact, the better t express carelessness and a good con science. So I left him. On mv wav toward Colonel Pace' plantation I took a cut-off through th lie'.ds, but I soon discovered that it lei me to a side gate. However, I went ir and followed the bridle-path until th sound and voices told me I was near th house; so I checked tiy horse behind clump of japonicas m order to recor uoiter. Peering through the branches, could see jutting out from the side c the mansion a little portico, on whic a silvery-haired old laily was standing with a young girl besido her. Such girl! What a gypsy she was ! Heav masses of dark hair, a pomegranat bloom on her cheeks, and the wildesl brighest, sauciest, most laughing eyesbut I will not enlarge, as the preacher say. Before them stood an elderly negr in a defiant attitude. " Abram," the old lady was saying " I really cannot stan 1 this any lougei Three times in one week you have com home in a state of iutoxication." "Now, oleinistis, ies you shet up, was Abram's astounding rejoinder. "It' Missy Anne what I'm addressin'." " Well, hurry up, and say what yo have to say," retorted the young lady. "Now, Missy Anne, doesn't I alway drive you out "nice, an' go whar vo sends nieV An' you know you dot min' sendin' me out any time o' day c night, no matter of it's rainin' rattle snakes?no, nor ecarpenters, neidei An' when I takes you out in de c'r'agc an' you whistles an* sings an' behave like a young lady didn't oughter ac' does I ever make any 'jectionswid you 5 "No, Abram; I should hope yo know your place better," said the gir suppressing a giggle with severity. " Well, den"?in a conclusive tone"wliat fault has you got ;o lind o' m< name o' gracious ?" "Oh, go along, Abram," said th el.ler lady. "You are incorrigibh Only don't let me see you again in sue a condition." "No, rnistis; I won't, mistis. Bu -t ?J. ? i.~ ? 1 T ' VUU UOesil I peiir iu incwuin uao x can take a teaspoonful o' anythia' 'tliout it makin" mo right down sick." And ho departed, shaking his liea' over her lack of charity. Feeling something of a sneak, thought it high time to emerge. I re ceivtd a cordial reception from Mr* Page and her pretty grandchild, wIiod she had never allowed to feel the loss o ei mother. The colonel was a tall soldierly-looking man, who told mi [ looked like my grandfather, and in ;isted upon rehearsing pages of nr family history, while I was longing t< alk to "sweet Annie." He might haw .le^n talking still had not the patter o feet made itself audible, and wh< should come prayly into the room bu Lagniappe! Making straight for Annie ae jumped into her lap. This was thi Eirst thing that puppy ever did that gavi tne a respect for him. "Oh, law! oh, gracious!" Annie cried jumping up and spilling him on th floor. "Pleaso cxcuse the little wretch," ] said, when I had thrust him out forcibly "And I have another apology to mak< for him," I added, producing the volumi of poems. " My book! "Why, gran'ma, you knov I have been wondering whore it ha gone. Do you suppose he stole it ou of the summer-house, Mr. Campion?" "I'm afraid he did," said I "Hi oame by rights should be Barabbas." " What a dear cunning thing he mns be!" she cried. "Give him to me won't you, please ?" "No, Anne; not another dog shal :ome into this house," the colonel an >wered, in an aggravated tone. "On< ;an't move at present without tumbling Dver one or two. That great brute of i 3t. Bernard takes pleasure in making aimself look like a door mat, because h< knows I am nearsighted." "Oh, but this is such a smart, inter ?sting puppy," urged Anne, giving ar ?cstatic spring upon her chair. "My dear Anne," said Mrs. Fago, in luigently, " what w ill Mr. Campioi hink of you?" "I can't help it, gran'ma," repliec Miss Anne, blushing up to the curls 01 ler forehead, but laughing at the sam< :ime. "Even if I should be prim now Mr. Campion would lind me out soonei n later. I shock every one; but it is an mture, just as dogs delight to bark anc nte. Even Abram?why, Mr. Campion, [ can see disapproval in his very bacli it times.'' " He must be hard to please," said I, ryinp not to look guilty. "The truth is," replied Mrs. Page, ' ho is an old family servant, and we indnre a good deal on that account"? o me a totally unnecessary explanation. My acquaintance with "sweet Anne" >rospered finely. She had a whole egiment of first, second and fiftieth aasculine cousins, who visirod her in >Utoons, presented her with the latest entimental ballads, and were never reary of chronicling the smallness of ler glove and slipper. Theie were noments when I hated them. For a ime came, and quickly too, when the ? .* ,.r or. .nil Max's fleetest pace could not keep top with my desire. As for Lagniappe, lie became lier abect slave, testifying Lis adoration by oiling his eyes and lolling ont an inorlinatelv long red tongue when she held lini in her arms and addressed him as 'an old precious," and "too cute to ive." His greatest breach of decorum ras to bito the ends of her long braid s it tossed over her shoulders, and to ake rides on the train of her gown, jngniappe's heart was in the right dace, that was clear. But all the k'orid was not of our mind. On one occasion I found Abrum leisirely setting a " figgev-fo " trap among he cotton as I crossed the field. He looked up, and remarked, an he >ulled his grizzled forelock: "Howdy, Has* Campion? I hope I see y' will, i's jes lookin' everywhere fer you." "So it seems," said I, with sarcasm. He was obtuse. "Yes," said he, artlessly, " dat's a 'ac\ Missy Anne she sent me obe-: in a iig hurry wid sumpin?now what was it (lie gimme? A book?or?or?no, twas a letter; 'n where'd I put dat air? Clare to mussy ! hopo I ain't loss it. ft'on't she skin me alive!" This was soothing to a lover's ear. "You hail better try to find it," I adrised him. " Well, ain't I a-tryin* ? Law shucks ! von't missy be rampagin'! She writ in' tore up, an' writ an' tore up, fortylevon times, I reckon." As he said this ho fumbled wildly in lumeroas pockets too ragged to hold uiythins, up his sleeves and in his hat, tnd at last produced it from one of the gigantic brogans that adorned his feet. I improved the occasion by a few vords of advice; but he replied, calmly, flopping his forehead with a dingy >aiidana: " I knowed I'd put it some'ers, >nly I disremembered prezackly vhar. Mighty lucky I foun' dat'ere," ie added. "Tell you what, I don't ike to git little missy in my wool. Ole nistis f-iio'll do pooty good, ef y' let her )<>; bnt Missy Anne, she's mi-ighty perlickety. An' headstrong. Don' I pity le gen'leman what marries her! She's ittle, but, oh, lawdy !" "Abram," said I, with all the dignity ' conhl summon, " l e kind enough to ;eep your opinion to yoursel:'." "Yes, sali?yes, sah?yet--, sah?sarainlv, sah," responded Abram, obligQgly; but he did not seem to ba rushed to earth. The note was merely an invitation to 'a little dance" at The Oaks; but to ae it proved a momentous occasion, or before I left the house sweet Annie ?a?e was my promised wife. From that time I worked with greater - will than ever, inspired by happiness i Meanwhile Lagniappe grew apace - not lpsing a jot of his impudence an< I trickiness with his increased growth. : Spring was drawing near, and as i had been a hard winter trouble was ex - pected from the breaking-up above * Colonel Page's honso was situated on i 3 slope, so I felt tolerably sure of Anne' safety; but she, on the contrary, wa r certain that she should awake some da; i to find me swept away by a flood 7 Although I laughed at her fears, I kep 1 a sharp eye on the levee. b One afternoon I was making a tour o s inspection, and I felt generally out c sorts. In the first place, I had not beei able to lind my mud boots, and natu rally their disappearance was laid n e Lagniappe's door, although his innc [j cent and cheerful countenance as h a frisked about Wax's heels should hav j disarmed suspicion. (I must remar here that Jacinthy blamed Lagniapp f/->* nrnrv frnni ilio fpvincr-imn t 0 her Sunday bonnet.)

My hand wa unsteady; he wavered dizzily before m; eyes; but the shot sped true to th mark. A sharp howl rang out on th j. still sir, and he fell quite close to me. The sound sobered me. " Lagniappe!

Naturally the story was received I with incredulity, but, the St. Petersburg I fjolois declares iliat it is only too true. I According to this journal, 119 women | and girls employed in a large turnip: I farm iu tho district of Putinol, in tht ; government of Koursk (Southern j Russia), were much dissatisfied with I the bread supplied by tho farm I steward, alleging that it was unfit 11 for food, and threatening to leave oil work. After their dinner they all withI drew to a barn to rest during the hottest period of the afternoon. The steward locked them in and went away; ! soon after four farm laborers came and ! ( set lire to the barn. The fire spread rapidly through the building, which was like tinder, and soqu tho whole barn was in flames. The shrieks of the i unfortunate prisoners brought some people to the spot. They could not help them because the doors opened in, wards, uud already the mass of frantic women to jammed the doors from with1 in as to make an eflbrt to open them fruitless. Five women were taken out olive, but so fearfully burnt that they died almost immediately. All the re> maining 114 perished on the spot. One of the incendiaries went off and drowned himself straight away; the j other three are in prison.

SOME MEXICAN STATISTICS. ?__ ^ (J A Nelgbborlna Rcpnbllc of WhIch;Wo Know tf Little. n Mexico is a Federal republic, compos>, ing twenty-seven States, one Territory 0 and one Federal district, that of the e capital. The total area is 741,313 square 1, miles, with a population of 10,000,000. ). This population is classified, each race and mixed grade having its own sepai rate name and special Btatus. The pure n races are classed under three Spanish names, a white, Indian and negro. The various race mixtures furnish the Mexin cans with twenty-one separately named a grades. There are about 50,000 foreign lt whites, 1,000,000 native whites or cre0 oles, 5,000,000 Indians, and the balance ;e arc mixed races, with a few pure ne? t'roes. Oue-tenth of the Jlexican nation, ^ occupying cbiefly the table lands, and '' residing mostly in the cities, own nearly 'u all the developed mines, lands and n otbei property. The remaining nine0 tenths are the laboring classes. a With tho most favorable results it a must be years before tho railroad com,0 panies shall reap their full reward, yet it is not impossible if no financial depression shall interfere, and provided e the Mexican Government proves able to v meet its subsidy promises, that such n roads as shall be economically built and jj honestly managed may at least pay exg. penser, from the beginning. In this connection is worth noting the population [g of the leading citics to be connected by lG each road. re MEXICAN CENTRAL?LEXOTII, 1,530 MILKS. ,V I'ofiU-1 P'lpilTowns. hition.\Toicn?. bit ion. ls Chihuahua 12,000|Qneretaro 48,000 *e Puraugo 12,500 Salamanca 15,500 rs Zaeatecaa 15,GOO Mexico 200,000 B Aguas Calieutcs..22,500, Tanipico 7,000 ' Lagos 20,000 Guadalajara 71,000 Leon 79,000 Sau IJlas 2,000 fiiini.niimfn ?!:I flrtll Son T.niu P?fnai 31 SOO is mexican national?length, 1,214 mii.eh. 16 Monterey 2">,000 Mexico 2fi0.000 d Saltillo." 8,000 Morelia 37,000 ie San Luis l'otosi.,31,500 Zamora Maravatio ;Zapotla 20,0<J0 Js Tolui-a 12,000!.Manzanillo l?

On tho breaking out of tho war ho was appointed colonel of a Rhode Island regiment and shortly after the battle of Bull Run he was made a brigadier-general. In November, 18G2, ho superseded McClellan in tho command of the Army of tho Potomac. Resigning this command ho was assigned to tho Army of tho Ohio and afterward was attached to tho Army of tho Potomac under Meade. In I860 ho was eloctcd governor of Rhode Island, and remained inoflico two years.

The robber then walked to tho horses' hoads and halted them, sboutirg to the-driver, ' Your turn next." Ho fired one ahot over tho heads of tho driver and passengers, and then mado an attempt to catch hold of the horses, but was unsuccessful. Ho then fired another shot at tho horses, but did no damago except frightening tho animals, who sprang to the bido of tho road and ran tho coach on to a largo rock, breaking tho lead bars and throwing the robber into the ditch. One of the passengers, when the highwayman fell, discharged a revolver at him, but owing to its not being in p ood order and snapping several times before tiscliargiiig, it did not do any execution. Tho robber, al'ter regaining his feet, fled to the woods.

A Great Western Farmer. 8 A correspondent of the Chicago Inter- b I Ocean, who visited Mr. DalrvmDle. the c great Dakota farmer, describes him as 1 a 'slender, quiet-looking man, with a jj pen behind his ear, -whom yon would E judge to be a schoolmaster or clergyman e at sight. His hands were soft and " white?more accustomed to the book c or pen than the plow?and his face, where it is not covered with beard, was not burned as much as mine." His farm s is the largest in the wprld, embracing t! 30,000 acres. It is forty-five miles long h and about one mile wide. It will yield this year 600,000 bushels of wheat and i 90,000 bushels of oats. At present Mr. 11 Dalrymple is sending three trainloads < of wheat a day to Dnluth, where he loads a vessel every two days for Buf- 6 falo. He employs 800 men and runs ! 200 self-binding harvesters and thirty j steam threshers. The harvesters cut an s | average of 2,800 acres a day, and the . thrashers tnra out about 30,000 bushels ' a day. Mr. Dalrymyle estimates the li cost of production for this year at 87 c per acre, or on his entire farm 8210,000. ? His wheat, 600,000 bushels, brings him ? a net price of 81 a bushel. His profits, therefore, will be, in round numbers, T the difference between 8210,000 and b ! 8000,000. * ii r Their Statements Indorsed. [Pittsburg Catholic.] t .
