HOW IT CAME ABOUT. '
There was a fine old general once, who,
having spent most of his life in the field of
Mara, knew very little about the camp of
Cupid. 'He was one of those rough and
honest spirits often met with in his gallant
profession, innocent as an infant of almost
everything save high integrity and indomitable
bravery. He was nearly fifty years
old; and ha toils were over, when master
Dan made him acquainted with a widow
Wadman, in whose eyes he began to detect
something that made him feel uneasy.
- Here was the result of leisure.
At length, however, the blunt honesty of
his disposition rose uppermost among his
conflicting plans, and his course was chosen.
At school he had once studied "Othello's
Defence," to recite at an exhibition,
but made a failure; he reeollected that there
was something in this defence to recite very
much like what he wanted to say. He got
the book immediately, found the passage,
clapped on his hat with a determined air,
and posted off to the widow W adman's, with
Shakespeare under his arm.
"Madame," said General Uncle Toby,
opening the book at the marked place, with
the solemnity of a special pleading at the
bar?"Madame''?
Bade am I in my speech,
And little blessed with the set phrase of peace:
For since these arms of mine had seven years pith
1111 now some nine moons wasted, they nave used
Their dearest action in the tented field;
And little of this great world can I speak,
More than pertains to feats of broil ana battle;
And therefore?''
Here the general closed the book, wiped
his forehead, looked np at the ceiling, and
said with a spasmodic gasp, "I want to get
married!"
The widow laughed for ten minutes by
the watch before she could utter a syllable,
and then she said, with precious tears of
humor rolling downher good-naturedeheeks,
"And who is it you want to marry, general?"
"You," said Uncle Toby, flourishing his
sword arm in the air, and assuming a military
attitude of defiance, as if he expected
an assault from the widow immediately.
"Will you kill me if I marry you?" said
the widow, with a merry twinkle in her eye.
(4XTa m.iJom/v " vanliad TTn/?lo TnKv in
JL.N1/} illOUClUA^ 1 V|/UVU VUVAV v y
a most serioos and deprecating tone, as if
to assure her that such an idea had never
entered his head.
"Well, then, I guess I'll marry you,"
said thei widow.
"Thank you, ma'm," said Uncle Toby,
"but one thing I am bound to tell you?I
wear a wig."
The widow started, remained silent a moment,
and then went into a longer, louder
and merrier laugh than she had indulged in
before, at the end of which she drew her
seat nearer the general, gravely laid her
hand on his head, gently lifted his wig off
and placed it on the table.
General Uncle Toby had never known
fear in hot battle, but he now felt a decided
? inclination to run away. The widow laugh.
ed again, as though she never would stop,
and the General was about to put his hat
upon his denuded head and holt, when the
facetious lady placed her hand upon his arm
and detained him. She then raised her
hand to her own head with a rapid manoeunvre,
and with her fingers pulled off her
whole head of fine glossy hair, and placing
it upon the table by the side of the Generals's,
remained seated with ludicrous gravity
in front of her accepted lover, quite
bald I
A8 may he expected, Uncle Toby now
soon laughed along with the widow, and
they grew so merry over the affair that the
maid-servant peeped through the key-hole
at the noise, and saw the old couple dancing
a jig and hobhing their bald pates at each
other like a pair of Chinese mandarins.?
So the two very shortly laid their heads together
upon the pillow of matrimony.
TIM WIGGINS AFTER HI8 HONEYMOON.
Seems to me things have changed some
what! Seems to me so?bust me up if it
don't! I've been married near six months
now, and the fact is, Susan showed the least
bit more temper than I thought she had ;
in "fact to speak the right down truth, she's
knocked things about generally for the
last two months, and kicked up the old boy
in particular! She's slung the cat through
the window by the tail, and would have
thrown me out of the?by the heels, if I
hadn't walked out in a fast run.
She's got cross as four sticks, and says
she'll use half a dozen on my back if I don't
quit smoking m the house.
And she threatened to throw the bootjack
down my throat last night because I spit in
the fire. If she'd done that, I suppose I'd
have had the colic or bootjack cramp.
"Timothy Niggins," says I, to myself,
says I, "you have gone and done it, you've
put your foot in it, and you have got to put
up with the consequences, you have. Come
what will, you can't get out of it, you
can't.''
A girl loses her beauty mighty quick after
she gets to be Mrs. Susan Sunflower
was pretty as wenus; but jist as soon as I
married her, her skin turned yellow, her
eyes lost their beauty, her hair got thin,
and Bhe got to be jist the shape of an ale
cask?she has, by jingo !
And Oh! what a temper she has got.?
Never knowed her to be mad before 1 married
her; never knowed her to offer to throw
the stove or chair down anybody's throat;
. no, never until she was Mrs. Niggins !?

; but I don't see why she can't be all
right now, I don't; if she don't improve
soon, the Lord help me!
"Jist you spit in that fire again," says she
to me yesterday ; "jist do it again, and I'll
throw this stick of wood down your throat!
What did I marry you for ? To run round
after you and make up the fire after you
Fit it out ? You tormenting beast? Did
marry you to slave and work for you
while you smoke and chaw, and chaw and
smoke, and spit in the fire ? There's the

and you never saw it; there's that

you oughtn't to see! There's Ann Buster

Miscellaneous Reticles.
' CROSS EXAMINING A FALSE WITNESS.
It is said of Warren, the distinguished
lawyer and author, that the following sharp
practice in the examination of a man accused
of swearing falsely in a will case is
recorded. It shows great dramatic powers
unconsciously exhibited in his daily business.
The prisoner being arraigned, and
the formalities gone through, he was asked
if he had seen the testator sign that instrument
; to which he promptly answered he had.
"And did you sign it at his request, as subscribing
witness?" "I did." "Was it
sealed with fed or black wax?'' "With
red wax." "Did you see him seal it with,
red wax ?" "I did." "Where was the testator
when he signed and sealed this will ?"
"In his bed." "Pray, how long a piece of
wax did he use?" "About three or four
inches long." "Who gave the testator this
piece of wax?" "I did." "Where did
you get it ?" "From the drawer of his
desk." "How did he light that piece of
wax?" "With a candle." "Where did
you get that piece of candle from ?" "I
got it out of the cupboard in his room."?
"How long was that, piece of candle?"?
"Perhaps four or five inches long." "Who
lit that piece of candle ?" "I lit it." '' With
what ?" "With a match ?" "Where did
you get that match?" "On the mantleshelf
in the room." Here Warren paused
and fixing his large, deep blue eyes on the
prisoner, he held the will up above his head,
his thumb still resting upon the seal, and
said, in a solemn and measured tone?
"Now, sir, upon your solemn oath, you saw
the testator sign that will; he signed it in
his bed; at his request you signed it as a
subscribing witness; you saw him seal it;
it was with red wax he sealed it?a piece two,
three, or four inches long; he lit that wax
with a piece of candle which you procured
for him from a cupboard; you lit that candle
by & match which you found on the
mantleshelf ?" "I did." "Once more, sir,
upon your solemn oath, you did?" "I
did." Your honor?it's a wafer7"
THE GUTTA-PERCHA TREE.
Sumatra, a large island in the Indian
Ocean, has large forests of the gutta-percha
tree (lsonandro gutta). "Gutta" is the
native name for gum, and "percha" is the
Malayan name of a forest tree. The virtues
and uses of this tree have not been
long known to us. Previous to 1844 its
vefy name had not been hdlrd in England.
About that time an English Physician was
walking through a forest when he' saw a
woodman at work. Observing that the
handle of his axe was of a substance quite
unknown to him, he inquired what it was
made of, and was told that it was the juice
or gum of a tree, which could be moulded
into any form by merely dipping it into hot
water, after which, when cold again, it became
quite hard. On examining the tree
the physician found the juice lying in
stright lines down the trunk, and that by
cutting small holes in the trunk, it freely
flowed out, of a whitish color. On hardening
it became darker in appearance. In
the first instance about two hundred-weight
were sent to England as an experiment; its
utility was soon discovered, and now several
hundred tuns are imported every year.
Gutta-percha is largely used for soles of
shoes, piping, bottles, and other purposes
where durability is required. It is also
turned to account for finer and more ornamental
work, some indeed, of considerable
beauty. But its highest use is in the coating
it forms to electric cables. Little did
the worthy physician imagine that in a
short time it would be well known throughout
the land, and regarded as one of the most
valuable substances possessed by man. Besides
the juice, the tree yields a pleasant
fruit, a valuable oil, and a drug for the
chemist. Its flowers are used by the natives
of the Indian peninsula for food, and
is wood is a good timber.
EUROPEAN ^INGENUITY.
The old world is trying its best to keep
up with the new in industrial inventions,
and the Paris Exhibition affords a fine field
for ingenuity to display the results of its
talent and perseverance. There is a machine
in operation there at present, from
Wurtemburg, for making paper from wood,
which is said to be the most extensive apparatus
in the whole Exposition. A tree
cut into covenient blocks, is put in at the
top of the mountain of continuous and
gradually descending rollers and grinders,
and comes out quite rapidly at your feet in
the shape of a fine, white, soft pulp, ready
to be pressed into any form of paper desired.
A machine accomplishing the same result
in a somewhat different manner, as far as
may be judged from the above vague description
of a Paris letter-writer, has been in
practical operation for some months?a
year or more?in this country. Indeed,
there are several factories here where paper
is made from woody fibre, and a num
ber of the daily and weekly papers use it
exclusively. Whether the Wurtemburgers
have a just title to the original idea is uncertain.
The French were trying a number
of similar experiments some years ago,
but with what final success we do not know.
But at all events the German machine,
as described above, is ahead of any other
yet invented in simplicity of method and
vastness of resultf. It reminds the writer
of the celebrated "mutton mill, by which,
putting a live ram in at the top, you were
in a few moments presented at the bottom
of the apparatus with all the "best cuts"
of mutton, readily dressed, together with
an elegant pair of carved powder horns, a
flask of neatsfoot oil, a keg of bone dust, a
finely finished dozen of sheep's wool stockings,
and a pair of sheepskin breeches of
approved pattern and make.?N. Y. Post.
The Roman B^d-Time.?An immense
majority of men in Rome never lighted a
candle, unless sometimes at eariy uawn.
And the custom of Rome was the custom
also of all nations that lived around the
great pond of the Mediterranean. In Athens,
Egypt, Palestine, Asia Minor, everywhere
the ancients went to bed, like good
boys, from seven to nine o'clock. The
Turks and other people, who succeeded in
the stations and the habits of the ancients,
do so at this day. The Romans, therefore,
who saw no joke in sitting round a table in
the dark, went off to bed as the darkness
began.- Everybody did so. Old Numa
Pompilious himself was obliged to trundle
off in the dark. Tarquinius might be a very
superb fellow; but we doubt whether he ever
saw a farthing rush light. And though
it may be thought that plots and conspiracies
would flourish in such a city of darkness,
it is to be considered that the conspirators
themselves had no more candles than
honest men; both parties were in the dark.

LOUIS ARCHER'S TEMPTATION..
" "Halloa, there, Henry Brown! Wha
are your hurrying home so for ? Stop a min
ate, I want to tell you about the spelling
school to morro# night"
"Father and mother have gone to Unci*
Harper's to spend the night; so I'm in j
hurry, Louis, as I have all the chores to d<
at the barn. Father says cattle and sheej
ought to be well cared for this cold weath
er; and I'll not let them suffer when he'i
away. Run along with me, Louis, and w<
can talk on the way."
"You know, Henry, I mean to choosi
, sides with Erastus Sibley. Everybody
knows he is a first-rate speller,?one of thi
sure kind,?has not missed a word in thi
spelling book for two winters. Those hare
words Mr. Barton finds in the dictionary
puzzle him sometimes; but he hunts then
up before he leaves the school house. I be
lieve the fellow couldn't sleep a wink, aftei
hearing a word he didn't know how to spell
until he learned it. I expect he will b<
an editor like Greeley or Raymond, dowr
in New York, one of thepe days. Unless ]
atndv hard T shall cnt a Door fiarure SDel
ling against him. Of course his side wil
beat, but we must spell our best. I'll choose
you first, and he intends to choose Simor
Golden. Mr. Barton told us the pagef
from which he will give most of the words
and I want you to come over to our house
to-night and study them with me."
"But Louis, as father is away, I cannot
leave home. v Come and stay all night wit!
me and we^ll master the lesson."
The boys separated, each going to his
home, and early in the evening were together
in Mr. Brown's sitting-room, bu3j
with their spelling books. All the hare
words were given to each other, and manj
more sought in the dictionary. Louis Archer
went home before daylight to help his
brother fodder the cattle, and joined Henrj
on his way to school.
"Spell 'memmonics,' shouted Henry, as
Louis approached. The word was prompt
ly spelled, and a dozen more in rapid succession.
"I wish this was Saturday, and I'd asi
father to let me go out fox-hunting witl
Mr. Colman," Louis said. "He always goes
a hunting after such a light fall of snow as
this. I like to hear him tell stories about
that hunting trip he took out West last fdll.
He killed three bears and lots of small game
besides."
"What are you doing out there in the
snow, Henry; tracking a fox ?" ' Henry
saw a little piece of paper fluttering in the
^ L? ^1* am/] A?nm r4- h c
wiiiu uy but; icuuc, auu stcppcu uuu nut
path to get it. "Hurrah, Louis ! Here's
Mr. Barton's list of hard words all written
down, ready for the spelling school."
"Good," cried Louis, "now we'll beat
Erastus!" <" ^
The boys hurriedly read the carefully selected
list and spelled them several times
before reaching the school house. Mr.
Barton sat near his desk reading a newspaper,
unconscious of his loss. Louis and
Henry were too much excited to attend to
their ordinary duties. They copied the
words from the paper on their slates and
committed them. Louis meant to keep the
list until noon, and then drop it, unobserved,
into the teacher's desk. At recitation in
arithmetic, Henry failed in his usual accuracy
; his figures were poorly made, as his
mind was not at ease. Conscience whispered,
"Tell Mr. Barton you found his list
of words." But he thought, "I dare not;
for Louis will be angry. He is so anxious
to win that he sees no harm in keeping it to
ourselves." At recess, Henry told his
thoughts to his friend, who resolutely said,
"No, indeed! I won't be so foolish as tha.t!
I'll put the paper into his desk, and he'll
never know anything about it.".
"But he will suspect us if we spell those
words so promptly."
"I don't care. I mean my side shall
beat Sibley's; and you are not going to be
so mean as to tell and spoil the fun. I won't
speak to you again this winter if you do !"
Henry felt that it would be useless to say
more, and went slowly into the school
house. He saw the path of duty; but to
walk therein would make Louis his enemy.
Before noon he wisely resolved to do right,
at whatever cost. When school was dismissed
he walked out into the calm winter
air. To h^ surprise Louis joined him and
remarked, "I have been thinking the matter
over, Henry, and find you are right.
We will tell Mr. Barton, the whole truth
about it." The two boys went in, and Louis
handed the paper to Mr. Barton. "Oh, sir;
T 1? A 1 il?i T
I was soreiy xempieu iu seep mat, uui jl
knew it would be wrong."
"You have done nobly, Louis, in not yielding
to temptation. My dear boys, if you
would prosper, always scorn deceit and
speak the truth.- . From the experience of
a life that has numbered more years than
yours, I assure you that the path of duty is
alone the path of safety."

Beautiful Answers.?A pupil of the
Abbe Sicord gave the following extraordinary
answers:
"What is gratitude ?"
"Gratitude is the memory of the heart."
"What is hope?"
"Hope is the blossom of happiness."
"What is the difference between hope
and desire ?"
"Desire is a tree in leaf, hope is a tree in
flower, and enjoyment is a tree in fruit."
What is eternity f"
"A day without a yesterday or to-morrow?a
line that has no end."
"What is God?"
"The necessary being, the sun of eternity,
the machinist of nature, the eye of justice,
the watchmaker of the universe, the
soul of the world."
Evil Zeal.?Beware of mistake'about
zeal. It is attractive, useful, well-nigh essential
to success. But have you never
wondered at its readiness to serve wrong as
well as right??at its pertinacity in bad
men, and in the interest of selfishness and
vice ? Has it never seemed as though evil
was prolific in zeal ? Be not misled. 2ieal
is not righteousness, nor a proof of truth.
It may be a sign of the absence of both, put
on to win the thoughtless, and thus break
the dread solitude of sin. It is one of evil's
chief disguises to cheat the unwary. Evil
cannot live without it.
A little fellow, not more than five
years of age, hearing some gentlemen
at his father's table discussing the familiar
line, "An honest man's the noblest work of
God," said he knew it wasn't true : his
mother was better than any man that was
ever made. _

A HARVEST SCENE.
t Fair and fresh the winds are blowi/ig,
Brightly shines the son to-day

r On the newly gathered hay. *
White and purple, green and golden,
3 Flock the fields alar and near;
. Whilo the harvest hands are singing,
1 "We'll have whlTfilTd barns' this year."
Hear the winding beck that ripples
Thro' the meadow, copse and glen,
How it murmurs, as if ans'ring
j Back the joyful songs of men.
3 New in sunshine, now in shadow,
Winding out and winding in,
Like a mirror it reflecteth,
3 All day long the harvest scene.
7 Lenth'nlng shadows now from woodlands
3 Over bode and meadow creep,
3 While behind his gorgeous curtains,
| Sinks the harvest sun to sleep.
Giving promise to the reapers,
' After labor, rest shall come?
1 Tired hands be calmly folded.
'Midst the sacred scenes of home.
r Patiently the farmer waited-?. ?
Work d and waited like a man,
? Never doubting that the "Master
3 Well would end what he began.
[ Now he hath the promised blessing,
L Fruit for all his honest toll;
Never lord was half so happy
As this tiller of the soil.
3 DRIED GRASS.
i This is what ought to be meant when hay
} is mentioned. Much so-called hay is but
( straw, little better than oat or barley straw.
? Several gentlemen have written very sensibly
in the Country Gentleman on the
t subject of cutting grass young, adducing
L good solid reasons for so doing. There is
another argument against the folly of al}
lowing grass to become ripe or nearly so,
. than the spoiling of hay: it is a fact, ber
yond the ability of any one to refute, that
I one week's standing after blooming takes
I more from the soil than all the previous
. growth, thus robbing the next year's crop,
i preventing any after feed, as well as. pec- I
r manently injuring the field, often causing
a breaking up with the plow and re-seeding, !
thus loosing many good varieties of natural i
grasses which would thrive and thicken the
sward if treated right. It is admitted that <
a green forage crop of sowed corn or vetch- !
es, rye, millet,.oats, &c., cut very early,
leaves the land little the poorer for the abstraction,
but if any of these ripen, there is
such a difference as Appears evident to the
meanest capacity. The same weakening
of the soil is caused by the seeding of the
grass, while thararticle makes a very inferior
quality of hay by being allowed to become
so old. ^
Why do the meadows and upland, grass
in America run out, while in England age
UUlJf JLiiDl WIOCO ?UCU puUUV/UTV I^UTTOIO ?
, The quality likewise improves annually
i there, thickening for the first twenty years
by the addition of the best natural va:
ne'ties of herbage, which is given a chance
to grow and get established by the stronger
, sorts being cut and removed from the suri
face prior to the choking of the finer spe*
cies.
There is no exaggeration in the state[
ment that a landlord in England would
, give a tenant notice to leave his farm if he
i did not cut his grass till it seeded, and the
[ next of kin to a man farming his own land,
> would have sufficent ground for taking the
estate out of his possession and confining
him in a lunatic asylum, for wasting his
. own property and injuring permanently
i that which deficefads to his heirs.
Morever, by delay the weight is not so
much heavier' as may be imagined, for
though the seed which is not knocked out
and lost may be some addition, the dried up
, stems and the leaves that fall off or are
eaten by the grasshoppers, are ^so much
loss. It may be taken as a fair criterion 1
when a man collects his hay seeds from his
managers, he is a poor specimen of a farmer,
for his cattle show more sense than he
, has in rejecting what he has foolishly impoverished
his land and spoiled .his hay to
obtain.
, By the time this is in print hay making
ought to be over, yet you will be met with
the cry "the grass is growing," and unlessjr
in some Deculiar instances, so are those who]
argue thus, growing bigoted, or they would
surely have observed ere this, that good hay
must he made from grass that is growing,
not ripening.?Country Gentleman.

< v- GRASS FOR HORSES.' r
Many persons think that horses that are
kept in the stable all summer should not be
allowed to eat grass. They think that it
' will make the horse soft, wishywashy, and
that it will throw him out of condition for
hard work. This is particularly the case
with some of the trainers of trotting and
running horses. .And horses that are kept
up for farm and other work are refused
grass because their drivers think they will
not eat hay so well. This was formerly
. the case more than is now. But these are
all erroneous opinions and practices, and
giving way, gradually, to a more reasonable
and natural system of feeding.
Grass is the natural food of the horse.?
It is a cooling and healthful food. It keeps
the bowels open and sharpens the appetite.
It promotes digestion, and removes fever
from the system. Therefore, by all means,
let the horse nip the grass fifteen or twenty
minutes daily. Whether training for trot- j
ting or running, it will be attended by the \
! highest benefit. The horse will loose none j
of his speed by such a course of treatment.
TTnraoo that ?r? kflntnn the vear round fori
farm work should certainly be allowed a <
nice nibble of grass every day. They work '
. hard, and all they get is something to eat. ,
Let them have, then, what they all like so 1
well.?Rural World. ,
BOOK FARMING?WHAT IS IT T
It is simply the best farming put in
books?yours reader, if it is the best. A
fool cannot write a book; an able man must
; do it?not a mau of mere accomplishments
or learning?but one versed in the business
' he writes upon. It is thus that we have #
i books by the best men in all the depart- *
. ments. These make our literature?and to
. be opposed to them, is to be arrayed against
knowledge, against schools and newspapers.
What is thought of the man who opposes
education ? And what is education, but to
; learn to know a thing ? If the prejudiced
reader (prejudiced against book farming)
knows how to trim his vine, he is the man,
if he has words for it, to write a book on
the subject?the very man we want, for we
are after facts, after the best mode. And "
yet his would be called "book fanning."? It
is mere prejudice, depend upon it.
But, there is one evil, which gives rise to j
this very prejudice: bad books are foisted ]
on the public. These are read, and they
lead into error; and forthwith good and bad ]
are condemned.
Our best men certainly are not the fools.
Our ablest men, who lead in their depart- ,
merits,,ar? men qualified, if any, to impart
instruction. Shall we heed them, or shall
we follow after our own half-formed, inexperienced
notions ? We have our prejudices,
and* they make us believe we are* right,
without consulting the facts in the caBe.
How to Dry Nice Fruit.?The weath-.
er should be dry and warm and the' fruit
perfectly ripe ; slice it thin and spread on
boards, or mats made of coarse white oak
splits. If spread carefully, each piece
separately^ it will be dry enough to put in
baskets or bags in the evening; but it will
be necessary to put them out in the sun oo
casionally to prevent molding, or worms
getting in. Stone fruits will take longer
to dry. It is always best to peel the fruit
at night, so as to put it out early in the
morning. A good hand can peel a bushel
at night with ease. Fruit dried in this way
is of a light delicate color. It should never
be allowed to remain out in the dew, as
that makes it very dark and injures the
flavor.
