farm, Garden and. Household. Seasonable Hlnti> A little salt, say a quart to a ton, may be scattered on the hay as it is put t in the barn or stack "with advantage. It 8 is a mistake to snppose that salt draws moisture from the atmosphere* It draws it out of the hay. Wheat should be ctlt as soon as the 8 grain ceases to have any " milk " in it, c but not before. With us, straw is so a valuable that we cut as close to the ground as possible. An inch of straw at the ground weighs as much as two c inches at the top. < Machinery is a great help, providing ? a farmer knows how to use it. He must t keep it in thorough repair and in work- < ing order. As a rule, a farmer will generally do better to hire as much of 1 his work done by machinery as pos- 1 sible, rather than to keep the machine ] himself. In making hay, the essential points 1 are to get rid of the moisture in the i grass as rapidly as possible. We should ] aim to expose it as much as possible to i the sun and air; but the shorter the 1 time it is exposed the better; provided < it is sufficiently cured to keep without i moulding. Above all, aim to avoid ex- \ posing cured or partially cured hay to i dew and rain. < Barley if a good crop, is best harvest- ' ed by cutting with a reaper and binding ' it into sheaves like wheat.' But if there is not time for this, cut it with the reaper in the afternoon or evening. Let ! it lie in the swath or gavel all night, j and the next morning as *soon as the 1 dew is off" turn it. Turn it again before j dinner ; and if the weather is favorable, and the crop free from weeds, it will be j ready to draw in the afternoon. If not put it into cock and draw in the next day. Hon?ehold Recipes. Spinach.?It Bliould be cooked so as to retain its bright green color and not ( sent to table, as it so often is, of a dull . brown or olive color; to retain its fresh . appearance, do not cover the vessel while it is cooking, and when done, drain in a colander, chop fine, add a lump of butter, heat through, and 1 serve. Boiled Peas.?They should be fresh , * when cooked, and boiled in just enough water to cover them, which should be salted, and boiling when the peas are , put in. Do not cover the vessel while they are cooking, which ought not to be i longer than twenty minutes, unless they \ are old. Drain off all the water ; add a little cream and a Bmall piece of ] butter. Pea Soup.-?To every quart of unshelled peas allow two quarts of water, in wliioh boil the empty pods half nu hour ; remove, strain, add one pint cold wp.ter, place over the fire, and put in two pounds of beef cut in small pieces ; boil slowly one hour, and if not enough water, add some boiling hot; put in the peas, and if the meat is not desired in the soup, remove it; boil half an hour, and ten minutes before serving add two tablespoonfuls of rice flour stirred smoothly in half a teacupful of new milk ; stir frequently to prevent the flour from Bcorcliing. When to Cnt Timber. I cut down about half an acre of small growth of youDg timber, mostly hickory, from five to fourteen inches in diameter. It lay in the tree as it fell till the following winter, and spring, when 1 trimmed it up and chopped it into stovewood, and put it in the wood-house. In the winter of 1871 and 1872 I burned it for common fire-wood, and have not discovered any worm-eating or powderpost as is common for wood in such circumstances. I saved a fcw butts for axe-handles. I split one of them the other day, and found it as withy and free from worm-eating as the day it was CUt. ( ( Traveling Dresses, 1 For midsummer journeyings, a dress 1 which separates at the waist, thereby permitting the use of linen blouses, is ] on every account most desirable. For I cooler wear, one of the new redingote ' polonaises of gray de baize, with a black J skirt, is the most serviceable suit. The < redingote polonaises of gray de baize, | with a black skirt, is the most service- < able suit. The redingote is a very long | garment, fitting the figure behind, and i being double-breasted and loose, or | half-fitting in front, as choice or neces- t sity dictates. It is closed in front by a 1 double row of large buttons?moulds j covered with the material or silk?and | has large square pockets, square cuffs, ( and coat-collar either of the same, black t silk, or silk the color of the polonaise. 1 A plain two-inch hem edges it, and it is > looped behind, and left open half-way ( down the front. It covers the skirt so ? much that an old one will answer excel- i lently, thereby saving a good one for a i more important occasion. Linen dus- ( ters are not only convenient but neces- t sary to comfort in a journey of more j than a ftw hours. They are made either <. with a skirt and half-fitting sacque, t which can be slipped over the dress 1 (and we think this the most convenient i form), or in a loose, eown-like garment, i covering the dress to within a few inch- t cs of the bottom, and provided with 1 sleeves that draw round the hand with 1 an elastic. Buff linen co lars and cuffs 1 are used especially for car-wear, and do 1 not show soil so soon as white ; but for \ long trips we recommend paper cuffs ] ami collars, which are now made in t pretty shapes for ladies, and can oe so t readily renewed that the wearer need i never look otherwise than fresh and s neat. 1 lVhat an Old Man has Noticed. j I have noticed that all men are honest t when well watched. I have noticed that purses will hold pennies as well as pounds. o I have noticed that merit is always 1 measured iu the world by its success. c I have noticed that in nearly all things a money is the main object in view. I have noticed that in order to be a 1 reasonable creature it is necessary at r times to be right down mad. f I have noticed that some u:en are so i honest that necessity compels them to a be dishonest in the end. s I have noticed that whatever is is li right, with a few exceptions?the left eye, li the left leg, and the left side of a plum r pudding. s I have noticed that the prayerof every J selfish man is "Forgive us our debts," t while he makes everybody who owes him t pay to the utmost farthing. p I have noticed that he who thinks i every man a rogue is very certain to see v one when he shaves himself, and he li ought, in mercy to his neighbor, to snr- t render the rascal to justice. li I have noticed that all men speak well c of all men's virtues when they are dead, a and that tombstones are marked with p epitaphs of the good and virtuous. Is n there any particular cemetery where the a bad men are buried ? _ k Something of a Romance* A Story of a Life Time. Ill the City of Portland, Me., in the aemorable martial year of 1801* a repectable merchant was moved to grave ,n*iety by his only daughter's infatuaion with a masculine admirer, of whose mtecedents and character it was very lifficult for her or her family to gain my definite knowledge. She had been ntroduced to him in a mixed company, >n some semi-public occasion, by an acquaintance knowing him only slightly >nd by name ; his first Subsequent call lpon her at her home had been without ormal invitation ; and, indeed, his forwardness in improving the introduction would have been resented by the young ady herself but for her immediate ' strong liking " as the phrase is, for ;he man. He was handsome and gentlenanly; and, beyond this, had w-hat Bhe persisted in regarding as a face to be mplioitly trusted. Her parents?and ler father, particularly?refused to accept this latter characteristic in lieu oi ill other ordinary guarantees of social : rust worthiness ; and, after expostulating tr,inlvnrif.li Viol- mrftinfifc pnmnraffino in acquaintance with a visitor of whose jrigin and avocation nd one in town jeemed able to give any satisfactory information, took renewed pains to ascertain what manner of person their daughter's suspicious admirer really was. Little by little came the discovery that lie lived, in a covert way, by his wits. A frtend of the merchant's was sure thai lie had once seen him coming out of s gaming-bousfe ) another, who boarded in the same house with him, reported thaf he kept strange hours. In short, the father gathered enough information of this kind to feel justified in assuring his daughter that her now devoted cnllei was not a respectable character, and declaring that he must oome to the house 110 more. The parental fault had been in allowing the acquaintance to go on even thus fnr under matter of sucli doubt, and its penalty was shown in tlu girl's resolute refusal to belive anything against her hero. He had a face, slit persisted in saying, that refuted everj calumny upon his honor, and any one who knew the first thing about physiognomy would say that such a frank, honest countenance could not belong to t bad mum Parental authority, refusing to be moved bj this argument, and continuing its ban against the lover, the infatuated damsel capped the climax oi her filial disobedience at last by a clandestine marriage and elopement wit! the object of her incorrigible faith. They were traced to the parsonage where the matrimonial knot had been tied, and from thence had disappeared from the city. Never having anticipated such i result as this, the deserted parents were overwhelmed with grief and fearful ap ?M.rthA?oi'nn nnil lncf oil lmnrf fnr f)l< flCUCUOU/.., .wo. .... ....... .w. future. The mother, who had been ar invalid for some time, died under the shock ; and the father, at this accumu lation of misfortunes, sank into a leth urgy from which he rallied only t< find himself a bankrupt. Thus wen family and fortune both broken up in f brief time by a thankless child's disloyalty and willfulness. Then the ruincc merchant, too, disappeared from Port land with what little he could save from the wreck of his old home, aud th< story travels with him to California, whether he wandered desolately, in the hope of distracting his thoughts fron the past, and seeking a lonely liveli hood. Too old and worn to contend successfully for a new career anywhere, his business experiences on the Pacific side of the continent were but a series jf feeble failures, until a day about five fears ago found him the keeper of t small candy-stand on Washington street, near the old post-office, in San Francisso. Every day since then, says the Pom if the latter city, which now takes up the tale, no matter how heavily the winter rain came down, or the gusty summer winds swept down from Telegraph Hill, the old man has appeared at liic humble'stand aud sold cheap sweets tc to passing children until the occurrence >t incidents now to be mentioned. \mongst his little customers there came me day, about a week ago, a bright yed, neatly dressed lad, apparently in lis ninth or tenth year, who bought andy to his taste aud seemed greutlj pleased at its cheapness. Well he might lave been, too, for the poor, old, shabjy, generally crabbed vender, had seen hat in the boyish face which impelled lim to tempt the little fellow to come igain. Aud never doubt that the temp ation was successful. The boy camt lay after day for his bargain in confecionery, and always Ins face was studied >y the old man with a strange kind ol vistfulness. At last there was a confi lence between the two, and the eldei isked and was told the youngster's lame. " I thought I knew that countenance!" exclaimed the white-haired randy-man, with a curious expression ol ace; and, requesting a neighboring nerchant of the curb to take supervision of his stand for a few moments, lie old the boy that he would accompany lim to his mother's house. " The routh," continued the San Francisco laper, " surprised, perhaps, at this noification, but nothing loath to oblige lis old friend, led the way to a tine nansion on Bryant street, where a ricliy dressed, handsome lady appeared at lis cry and immediately fell sobbing ipon tiio neck of thecandv-man, calling lim 'Father!'" Thus, after ten years, he ex-merchant of Portland met his unlutiful, runaway daughter again, havng been led to such reunion by her ion's inheritance of his father's face. The story to be told, with many peniential tears, by the lady was a follows : ler husband, the owner of such a menorable countenace, was really a garaber when she married him, though rather hrougli discouraging misadventure in ireceding worthier calling than by vici>us natural taste. After their marriage, lowever, and fight to California, he res>lutely renounced the green table and .11 its surroundings and bravely applied limsclf to legitimate business in an tumble grade. Very poor and hardly iressed at first, he presently gained op>ortunity for a small investment in minng stocks; and this succeeding, was ble to establish himself on Montgomery treet as a broker. Fortune favored iim at every turn, and he is now a rich, ' ? ? i -;i; 11.. ugniy Honored citizen 01 me x nwut metropolis. When their position was ufficiently assured to give them confilenee the young wife wrote a very penient letter to her parents Maine, begging heir forgiveness of her unfilial disrerard of their commands, and pleading n extenuation thereof the manner in rhich her her linsband's physiognomy lad justified her seemingly infatuated rust in it. The letter'was returned to ler by the Portland postmaster with a urt notcannouncing her mother's death nd her father's bankruptcy and disapicarauce, and fiom that time Until the aeeting recorded above she suffered an gony of self-reproach which not even ier father's restoration to her is likely to abaft} altogether. That her father never returned to his candy-stand may be readily inferred, and that his reconciliation with her husband includes future easb and plenty for him is only accordant with the commonest justice of human nature; but the general story does not leave a wholly pleasant impression, save as the reader may be able to abstract his mind from its imperfect moral compensation, and dwell only upon its physiognomic suggestions. Unintentional Cannibalism, The following anecdote,is told of Sir Bartle Frere when at Zanzibar! Sir Bartle and his son, during an expedition "up country," had imprudently wandered from their escort and lost their way. After some time they perceived a negro's hut, and, tired and hungry, proceeded to claim hospitality. An old 1 negress appeared at the door and gate them some eggsk which our savoy at once converted into omelette, and seeing 1 numbers of little round black balls suS1 pended from the roofj and fancying them to be niuskrooms, popped them ; into the pan, utterly disregarding the old woman's anxious remonstrances. After their meal in came the owner of the cabin, whoj on learning what his > visitors had done, broke into a violent ' rage. " Miserable strangers," cried he, 1 "you have eaten all my war trophies ;" ' and, in answer to Sir Bartle's inquiries, informed him that what he had taken " foir mushrooms were no less than the earB of his enemies whom he had killed ' in battle. Sir Bartle Frere was ill with indigestion for four days.?Paris Fi1 aaro. I " A Shah Story. , According to the reports the English L are getting up some singular amuse[ ments for the Persian monarch. A paper says the Shah was greatly entertained by the Marquis of Queensberry, who ! brought to the palace a number of prize1 fighters. General Hardinge, who was 1 on duty at the time, was quite horrified. J "How'many of them have you got?" ! asked he of the Marquis. "Six," was ' the reply. "My God!" exclaimed the | General, "we can't let six go in ; they might knock us all on the head and walk ! off with all the jewels and plate." A compromise was effected; two of the ' best of the bruisers were allowed to 1 enter with the Marquis; they first ' fought with each other, and then the ' Marquis, who is the best boxer in the ' kingdom, t-ied a few rounds with each of them, handsomely druwing the claret ' from one and knocking the other down. 1 The Shuh was perfectly charmed. He said it was the best thing he had seen I iu England. He gave each of the men a handful of coin, and bestowed upon 5 the Marquis a magnificent pipe, mount1 ed with rubies and emeralds. , A Paris Industry. i Thero is in Paris, says the London ! Echo, an aged woman, who lias for the last fifty years, supported herself by an > industiy of which, we believe, she ens joys a complete monopoly. She supi plies the Garden of Acclimatization, in Paris, with food for the pheasants, ' which food consists entirely of ant's eggs. These she collects in the woods i around Paris, and receives about twelve s francs for the quantity she brings back , from each of her foraging expeditions. i These generally last three or four days, i during which she sleeps on the field of action, in order to watch the insects at 1 dawn, and to find her way to. their , treasures. She is almost devoured bv 5 the ants, an inconvenience of which ) she takes little notice, but at the end i of her harvest-time, which lasts from t the month of June to the end of Sep, tember, her whole body is in a truly pitiable condition. Her services are, of ' course, highly valued, for, as there is at > present no competition in this line of industry, it would be difficult to supply her place. i \ | The Next Political Issue in Iowa. > | A dispatch from Des Moines, la., says that at an Anti-Monopoly Convention held there a full county ticket was nom( inated and delegates elected to a State . convention. Resolutions were passed ' declaring that no support should be . given to any man for office who is not ' iu full sympathy with the producers . and manufacturers and opposed to I monopolies; also declaring that the , doctrine of the vested rights of railroad | corporations which exempts them from , legislative control has no place in the jurisprudence of a free people; deI mantling reform in the matter of the , salaries of public officers ; denouncing the back pay matter, and demanding . political reform and strict economy in , State and county affairs. The resoln' tions also invite all persons to participate in this movement. An Artist's Dream. , The Rutland Herald, in writing of ' the death of Hiram Powers, a sculptor, ! describes the house in Woodstock, fn which he was born, and savs : " In this | house, as he himself related, he dreamed a dream that decided his whole future destiny. We cannot now refer to his own relation, but as recalled from \ the memory of an early reading, it was, ; in substance, that he seemed to see, across a river, a female figure arrayed in white, standing upon a pedestal. At this time he had never seen statuary, but soon after recognized its meaning when seeing a rough attempt at a Kfnt 110 hv some nsnirincr artist. From 1 this time his life work was determined in his own mind, and his every effort was directed to the accomplishment of his ambition." Characteristics of Inebriety. From a recent official paper concerning the number of annual convictions on account of drunkenness in England and Ireland, it appears that out of every ten thousand Englishmen fifty-niue make themselves obnoxious to the law against drunkenness ; while ont of an equal number of Irishmen one hundred and forty-seven are guilty of a similar offence. In considering these figures some account is to be made of the Irish tendency to " humor " when inflamed with whisky; whereas, the Englishman, when drunk, is often more solemn and oracular than when sober. The Irishman instinctively looks for a head to break; the Englishman simply reels in the serene consciousness of intense respectability. They are complaining in one of the interior counties of illness bronght upon several persons recently present at a wedding-party in the daytime, by their being kept in a close room, and almost suffocated, in order that, through the aid of artificial light, the occasion might seem more "brilliant." % The New Resort for the Nation.
