Tt was certainty q'uecr ! Not that
shy. pretiy Mury should fancy her va 1 -
eutimi !roii? the elector. With all her
shyness, she had peeped at limes from
under tli>: long lushes which veiled those
sweet blue eves of In is, and littd made
Up her mind that he was "nice," which
w.iid weanfe n great deal to a gill. She
could think o! uo ono front whom .she
dhutild.sp l)/.c Ao haye it. come; so the
wish was parent of the belief, as many
of (Mir wi.-hus are, and /'ml wasn't tjueer
But. .that frank Audrey, with his thirty
years' cxpiri; nee ul' men and medicine,
should fancy for one moment that .Mary
wrote his, was queer, decidedly. Though
perhaps wishing had sometoTitg to do
with that too.
Truth is, that experience is thrown
away on many people. The doctor was
a leurucd maw. ulier his fashion, lie
knew ail fcorts of hard names of diseases
and bones nod plains. He spoke Ger
man like a native, and read Greek plays
for amusement. Lie even understood
human u?tuic pretty well?elderly hu
man nature, that is, which wears lalse
teeth and ruflled 11 ij^ht-eup*i, and "en
joys"' poor .health. Ho fathomed with
out difficulty Goody Colemaii's wiles to
introduce brandy as a primary element
in her cure, und was clear sighted euough
as to want of occupation n"d rrryrim
being Mrs. Pembcrton's ailment, though
she eha.se to style it disordered nerves.
But when it came to young ladies, all
this pruficigiicy was at fault. Our doc
tor, su cool iu the operating-room, so
sell-possessed in critical eases, so patient
atid playful with pauper imiicnts und I
litflo children, was us ill at euso as u I
school boy. He saw without seeking,
heard without hearing; could not pass a
chair without knocking it down, or a
lrain without stepping on it. All the
girls agreed that it was a dreadful shame
such a good-looking follow, and not
'?very old either," thoiild^ be so dull and
awkward, Bfnd such u blunderer as to be
worse than useless in society. All but
Mary Bliss, that is. She, as I have be
fore remarked, thought him ''nice."
Hut why, on receiving (his extraor
dinary valentine, did Hr. Aubrey's
? hough's j' inn at once to this same
.Mary ? Now don't expect mil to answer
the question. How is any finite mind
to grasp the thousand little insidious
tangled threads which cause men's
thoughts?young men's especially ? to
jump this way ami that at young ladies?
No. I just throw out the question lor
what it is worth, and any of ym who
jlioo.se, or can, may answer it.
But, for one thing, ?Mary Wa$extreme
ly pretty ? pretty in that soft, Ino-^s-rose
bud st} le which is so lovely in curly
youth. Tho doctor had felt the ohurui
of that bwcrti face. Aud more than
once of late, with what the poof fellow
considered iuUnitc tact, bad managed to
wedge httuseli into the cornet where she
happened Je bo silting, and, soothed by
the sweet tones of her voice mid by hi r
shyness, even more excesaivo ihau his
..wo, had found Iiis everting considerably
Icbs wretched thuu cveniogs spent in
company woro apt to be. But to go
back tu my former wodcrment. Why
iiid he suppose she wrote the Valentino '!
As well fancy a violet brandishing the
carving'kuife with suicidal intoutions '.
For this was the vuleotiuo, concocted
by that naughty Julia Luureuce mid'1
Emily Wells iu the Bauetuary of the
hitter's bod-room, aud carefully copied
niminy-piminy runuiiig.hund, as little
liko the ordinary writing of every day
us could well be :
"Half without seeing, half with sight,
1 saw you coming by ;
Blushing i looked, und looking I blushed,
For I am young aud shy.
"Kindly the eyes you bent on me,
Kindly the baud ungloved,
Kindly the voicu which spoke, and I
Listeuei and liked?and?lovod !
.m* " ? '?A .n '.H /
"Is it n wrong to tell the tale *
Will you forbid and flown?
Aud must 1 choke my timid heart,
And gulp my secret down?
"Bo you not seo my pnilid cheek,
Where roses bloom no more?
Ah, diagnose the case, aud speak,
Thoao rosc3 to restore !
"To kind St. Valentine 1 11 fly ;
lie will the tangle sever,
And speed my love, or bid it die,
And hi lc my uamo forever."
Now those mischiefs, Julia und Emi
ly, never for otto moment thought of
Mary Bliss when thny scribbled lli^se
absurd verses. Tho pcrsou in their eye
?if, indeed, any thing could be said to
be there except pure love of fun?
was a maiden of koiiiq forty sum- j
niers, who was currently reported to |
have laid fi tee siege to the heart of Dr.
Aubrey under the trnlspurent disguise
of liver-complaint! The doctor had
gone lilinJly into tho not- f>fpnnod tWv
him ; had lei' the pulse, oxiin-iiicd the
tongue, advised fresh air, and written a
prescription for a heroic d< se yt' ::poti
ulino." (which .prescription, of course,
went into the lire us soon as he loft),
I .nd then?had discontinued his visits,
to tho infinite disgust of the would be
charmer. Naughty Julia Laurence got
hold of the story; and hence the valeu
tiiuc, which, with many eh tickles and
fits of laughter, was duly posted and
marked "1?,"' Brown being the uamc of
the lady of the liver.
Nobody but u very vnin man or tin
absolute goose would so have blundered.
Our di.ctor was imt vain, but he was a
goose, as many estimabl" people tire, lie
had never received a vilentine before in
his life, mid now began t.> think, lmd
Mnry looked a little pale luteJy? Of
course she never meant that about lov
ing?(hat was only put in to supp irt the
valentine character, or to make nut a
rhyme. But supposo there was just a
little substratum of meaning in it ; sup
pose she really did like him a little, nod,
guessing his secret predilection, bad
chosen this way of lotting him know it ?
Oh dear, eh dear ! what a thought was
there!
Meantime, pretty Mary was reading
and rc reading Itrr valentine, which was
beginning to get ijuite worn about the
od ires from much carry in if about in nn?k
lets. For this, too, Julia mid Emily
were responsible. But, bless you, they
never nlluded to Dr. Aubrey at all. A
certain tall, bl t u-bearded Dr. Webber
was the person they meant?a widower,
who, having successfully disposed of a
brace of wives, was now said to be look
ing about fur a thud, aud to have drawn
up his seige-traiu iu front of the Bliss
resilience. He and Mary had appeared
together not long since nt u concert,
which putting the notion iu the heads of
our naughty pair, the lullowiug was the
result:
*-kVVtilt audio's* which is nol gloom,
With a wish not yet u hope,
In every house and in every room
1 patiently, wistfully gropo.
??Grope for a friendly hand,
For a sympathetic eye,
For space to sow one liltle seed,
Which may bo a flower by and by.
"Sown in a human heart,
This seed ('Love' ia iis name)
Grows to a blossom worthy of
Tbo heaven from which it came.
"If it might bud and bloom,

In the swoot garden of yonr heart,

Dr. Webber's Christiao numo happen
ed to be Valontiuo,.nnd the authors of
tliis precious production Duffer doubted
that Mary, connecting this fact with the
signature, would fofin her own conclu
sions. But this little shaft massed its
mark, for Mary had/ no idea what the
"V." in Dr. Webber^ initials stood for
and had never (a ken t be trouble to in
quire. So she 'd'ornicd her own conclu
sions" quite otherwise, thau her friends
had hoped, and while poor Frank Au

and dewy diinplts, and euch grew daily

two months later, Dr.Aubrey, with white

I Facts About Trichiii? in Hogs.
A Cleveland despatch says: "A well
authenticated and undoubted coso of
trichinae spiralis is now undergoing in
vestigation by our physicians. It has
already resulted in tho death of one vie
tint', and several more nrc in a danger
ous condition. Tho unfortunate sufferers
are a family by the name of Martens.
For Bcvcral weeks past they have at dif
ferent times eaten of pork, either made
into sausages or cooked in the usual
manner, which was to all appearances in
good condition, and there was no 5n
d:cation of disease of any kind. A fow
days ago the entire family, consisting of
Charles Maitcns, big brother Erust, wife
and two children, were seised with
symptoms that baffled at first all at
tempts at discovering their charaotcr;
but an examination of the pork partaken
of proved conclusively the presence of
counties:* trichina) in an encysted state.
In spite of all that was done to relieve
him, Charles Martens died Monday
night. Miss Martens is in a very crit
ical condition, and there is but little
hope of her recovery. Ouo of tho tshil
dren may recover, but the only member
of the Jamil v out of danger is the broth
er, Ernsf Martens, who ate but little of
the affected meat. A microscopic exanc
nation made of a piece cut from the mus
cle of the arm of the deceased, with an
instrument having a magnifying capacity
of four hundred limes, revealed the
presence of a number of trichinae, some
of them still alive and active, but soon
dying on exposure to the air, Their
average length was one-eighteenth of
an inch.. J heir color was a light drab,
marked witn shades of a darker color.
Experiments have shown that exposure
to heat greater than 1G0 degrees
effectually destroys these dread insects.
The first cases of trichinosis in America
Vcre in New York. At Marion, Iowa,
in lSfia, i?iqc.uiMtea><murftd ^.iW^fiMia,
ily, five deaths resulting. In t\ ?> same
county, eating raw ham containing
trichina) (proved afterward by examina
tion) caused -the death ot six children
at ihr1 same timo. An examination of
pork iu ^Chicago by a committee of the
Academy of Science ofthat city proved
the existence of trichina? in one in fifty
of the hogs inspected. Some of the
flesh contained from 10,000 to 18,000 of
these insects to the cubic iuch."?\Buffa

Faomino as a Business.?The fol
lowing is from the Farmer and Artisan:
A man who is not smart euough to run
a store is not Stuart enough to farm.
Furniers nrc not to be made of what is
left after lawyers, doctors, ministers aud
merchants are picked out ; and if a man
fails on a farm it is not likely he will
succeed in a store, for it requires more
talent to be a thriving farmer than to
be an average merchant, the one cause
of great valu< the disproportion bo
t-vee.i a man > farm and his capstal.
A farmer's capital is skill, labor, and
his money. If he ha "ittlo cash, he must
have no more land than ho can thorough
ly manage by his own personal labor.
Every acre beyond this is an iucum
bruuee; one acre well worked is more
profitable than twenty acres skimmed
over. It is this greed of Sand by farmers

farmers. Barge farmers with large capital
arc better than small ones. Farming is u
good business for all men who conduct
it on proper principles, and have capital
accordiug to the size of thir farms, aud
a bad one for everybody elso.
Wc suppose that nino out of ten
housekeepers will contradict us in the

routine either the oysters are stewed and

Here is the right method: try it once,
and wc will warrant you will not need
telling the second time. Pick the oysters
out of the juice with a fork, us dry as
possible, s;ew the juice, thickening the
milk or water of which the Boup is to be
made until thoroughly cooled : then drop
the oysters in, and just as tho coolod
soup begins to show signs of simmering
empty out altogether, and you will have
a rieh soup and plump oysters, luscious
