Uqiartmcnt. Rubbing it In.?The farmer with hemp whiskers was talkiug to the drummer on.an accommodation train which was banging along over an Ohio railroad. "I used to live out West," he was saying. "How long ago?" inquired the drummer. "Ten years or so." "How did you like it ?" "Not much." "What was the matter ?" "Cyclones and grasshoppers and things." "I should think if you had cyclones and grasshoppers together they would oflset each other." "You mean, I reckon, that the cyclones would blow the grasshoppers away ?" "Yes," and the drummer smiled. "Well, they did some. You see, when I first got there I was always scared of cyclones till the hoppers came; then I wauted a cyclone, but I never had much luck nohow and I was pretty sure I wouldn't get it, but by hokey it come, and it come a-tenrin'." "Did it blow the hoppers away ?" "Yes, but it blowed the farm along with them and landed me and the hoppers and the farm all over in the next county. It shook the hoppers up a great deal and I thought I was havin' fair luck, when I found out that the taxes hadn't been paid in that county for ten years, and when they came around to me for back taxes I begun to think it was kind of rubbing' it in, so I said, says I: 'Dern Kansas,' and I came straight back to Ohio." A Dictionary Wanted.?A Chicago woman who had been reading about the frauds iu the paper, turned to her husband, and inquired: "My dear, what do the papers mean by saying that a man has squealed ?" "Why," replied the man, loftily, "they mean that some member of the ring has 'peached' on the rest." "Peached on the rest !" exclaimed the wife; "now what does that mean ?" "Why, it means that he's?he's 'blowed' . on 'em." "Blowed on them ?" "Yes; you see, he's 'given 'era away.'" "Given them away ?" "Why, of course. Can't you understand anything? Do you think I'm an unabridged dictionary ?" continued the husband, impatiently. "It meaus he's 'let out on 'em'? 'gone back on his pals'?'squealed'?you know." The woman did not seem quite satisfied with the man's lucid explanation ; but not wishing to appear ignoraut in her husband's eyes, she remarked : "Ah ! yes; I see ?" and forbore further questioning. At Night In the Hardware Store.? "What's that commotion over there ?" asked the Vise, as he snapped his jaws viciously. "It's only theFoot-Rule putting on his rubber Hose and a pair of Pumps, previous to his call upon the Sleigh Bells," answered that old bore, the Auger. "What's that in his hand?" "A Corn Popper. He will use it to pop the question. He thinks he has a snap in that direction." There was immediately a (.irate sensation. The Dumb Bell moved about uneasily. The Cow Bells, 011 the other hand, began to ring lustily. Awl the tools next opened their Tongue Caps, and the Sad Iron wept. The Tea Strainers strained their Taper Joints to listen. The Alarm Tills sounded their gongs; the Pokers suspended a quiet game in the corner. The Foot-Rulc glared savagely about him. "I'd Belt you all in the eyes for nickk, or pull your Pail Ears for half the sum," said he. Then the policeman tried the door, and silence reigned as before.?Hardware. A Change of Scene.?A German officer says that there is nothing on earth more important and self-sufficient in his knowledge than a sergeant in the German army. They will give exact and perfect orders to the men, but their modes of expressions are sometimes inimitable. And then he tells the story : Not long ago there was a total eclipse of the sun, and the officer in charge of a certain regiment wanted to explain it to his men. He sent for his sergeants, and said to them : "There will be an eclipse of the sun tomorrow. The regiment will be drawn up on the parade ground, if the day is fine. If it should be cloudy, the men will meet me in the drill shed as usual." The sergeants drew up this order: "Tomorrow morning, by order of the colonel, there will be an eclipse of the sun. The regiment will assemble on the parade ground, when the colonel will inspect the eclipse. If the day is cloudy the eclipse will take place in the drill-shed." Home From College.?He was the son of a worthy Manchester citizen, and had just returned from college. His father was a brusque, matter-of-fact man, who had no liking for anything pronounced, and he noticed with sorrow that his son returned with : n onltnfc onrl vfivintm nthfV IIJC IUI to V I UiU^ III WIIUIO, uuti . M* ivm.^ w...v. insignia of a dukedom. The old gentleman surveyed him critically when he appeared in his office, and then blurted out: "Young man, you look like an idiot." Just at that moment, and before the young man had time to make a fitting reply, a friend walked in. "Why, hello, Billy, have you returned?" he asked. "Dear me, how much you resemble your father!" "So he has been telling me," replied Billy. And from that day to this the old gentleman had no fault to find with his son. Did He Get In??"That man Ardup," said the man in the mackintosh, "was as good-hearted a fellow as ever lived, but he was always in debt, and always hounded by creditors. Boor fellow! He deserves a better epitaph than an unfeeling posterity will engrave on his tombstone." "Well dunned, good and faithful servant," suggested the man who had his feet on the table ; .and a deep silence fell upon the group. SST Beg pardon, sir, said the passenger in the skull-cap, tired of the monotony of the journey, and desirous of scraping an acquaintance with the man in the seat, "are you traveling for some house ?" "No, sir," said the other. "I am not in business. I am a Universalist preacher." "Shake!" rejoined the man in the skull-cap, heartily. "I am a lire extinguisher." fi?* Hicks?That wasn't a bad present that Tom got from his wife's father as a wedding gift?$2,400, $100 for each one of the bride's years. Wicks?I should say not; neitlier did Tom have anything to say against it, I guess. "No?oh, no; he was glad enough to get it: only he couldn't help saying, half aloud, 'Whata fool I didn't take Maria! She's 00 if she's a day."'?Free Press. fiST" She had met him for the first time that evening at a function, and half an hour or.so later, when some one of the party rather doubted a story he had told, he appealed to her. "You don't think I'd tell a lie, do you ?" he asked iu a somewhat tender strain. "Well," she replied, cautiously, "I don't know. What business are von in?"? Idle: fife?" Tom listened with great interest while his father read from a newspaper an account of life among the Mormons. Seeing the boy's attention, his father said, "Would you like to live among the Mormons, Tom ?" "What!" cried Tom, " and have to ask a dozen mothers every time I wanted to go in swimming? No, thanks." fife?" "Man, Sandy," exclaimed a Scotchman to his friend, as he stepped ashore at the wharf, "I'm glad to see von sale across. II ae ye had a line passage ?"

If we can do tliein any good make life happier or easier or nobler for them than it now is, let us hasten to do it with simplicity: but compulsion, insistence, coercion, and "management," are only harassing. fcif' Kxtrenie cold often prevails in the intcriorof Labrador.

A headachy household is a bad thing. J household seized with tlie grippe is worse Measles, mumps, and scarlet fever. All ar scourges in the home. Hut in the aggregat more mischief is wrought by hurry leve than by all the rest combined. This fever does not attack the home wlier most is done, because it is impossible to ac complish much without system, calm confi deuces, and good cheer?foes, all of then to hustle. The hurry fever is life ii homes where they try to do too many thing without thought or plan, and especially with out stopping to consider how many of tliesthings are not worth doing at all. We have all seen such households. Hurr; to breakfast, hurry to lunch, hurry to dinnei Hurry to bed so you may be up early Hurry to fix the furnace, that you may iil the tubs that you may wash the dress tha you may hurry to go to the party. Hurr up, that we may hurry down. Hurry in because we are in a hurry to go out. Hurr; to finish this game, that we may have timfor one more. Hurry to walk, for you mus hurry oil' to church after supper. So tilfretful household hurries, with knit brows compressed lips, and tense nerves, from bus tling morning to bustling evening. It would be a fruitful experience and i shrewd test for almost anyone to see by actual count just how many times a day hi uses this fretful word "hurry,"- and hov many of these times it could just as well bi avoided. Nothing is gained by hurry." The attitudi I of mind it implies is prejudicial to wisi ! planning or proper execution. We haw just so much time ; scheme to do just wha will fill it; no more, but, indeed, much less leaving many half-hours for the unexpected The shrewd workman well understands tin paradox, "Do not do too much, and you cai do more." Banish the hurry fever with th< cooling diet of peace and forethought am jollity. Then your home will be a ran abode, only one remove from heaven.?Trtti Flag. ? ? UK LKT HIS REPUTATION GO. It isn't often that one finds among tin mountainers of the Southwest a hero of tin I highest typo, but they do exist, and a yea i or so ago I met one, says a Detroit Fret Press writer. I had been in his neighbor hood for three months, and I knew that In had killed a man or two, and had the repu tation of being the gamest man in the moun tains.- lie was extremely handy with a gun too, and everybody gave him a wide bertl whenever there was a prospect of a row One day, however, lie got into a difficulty with a man from an adjoining county, am when the shooting began he cut and rui like a white-head, leaving the field in posses sion of the other party. Two days after ward I met him on the road, and we talk ed about the late disturbance. "I was rather surprised at the way yot acted," I said, as mildly as I could, lor evei then I had no wish to stir him up. "I reckon most folks wuz," he replied briefly. "I know they were, and they don't under stand it; neither do I." ' Well," he said, half apologetically, " reckon I jist run, and that wuz all there wu to hit." ' There was more than that ; you lost you reputation by it." "Mcbbc I did, colonel," and he swallowei a lump in his throat; "hut that thai* fcllov had seven little children dependin' on him and I kinder had an idea afore I pulled trig ger that mehhe I could git along better with out my reppertation than they could with out their daddy, so I run." He stopped as if uncertain what to sa} next, and I took him by the hand and shoot it with a vigor that I knew he appreciated by the look that came into his eyes. Thk Valor of Minutes.?A party o ladies and gentlemen were lately visiting i large carpet manufactory, and the manage] | took them over the different floors of the os tablishment. On ascending one of the stair cases they came to a locked door, on which tin following inscription was painted in whilt letters: "Strangers not admitted under any circuin stances." The curiosity of the ladies was excited U a high pitch, and they inquired, almost ii one breath, "Whatever is to he seen in side ?" "That is one of our work rooms in whicl ISO women are employed in embroidering car j pets," answered the manager. "Oh ! how we should just like to have i peep at them !" exclaimed the ladies. "I am sorry I cannot comply with youi i wish said the gentleman with a shrug of his shoulders, "but the rules do not admit of tin I slightest exception. Truth to say, there i: i nothing to .he seen, nor is there any qucstioi ! of trade secrets. The reason why admission is I forbidden to strangers is simply because ever} woman naturally looks up, and her attentioi j is distracted from her work from one to fiv< ' minutes supposing, now, each woman waste* a couple of minutes in this way, that wil make in the case of lot) women, a loss to tin 1 firm of .'500 minutes, or five hours, and w< j cannot ullow that." ? - + - Orn 1'itKsidknts.?Among our presidents there were four Jameses, three Johns, tw< Andrews, and one each called (ieorgc, Thom M,Willi,?n '/,w.|,,,iv Mill.,r,I , i'llllUII, " t ........... ji , - ; Franklin, Abraham, Ulysses, Rutherford Chester, (Jrover ami Benjamin.

I was an old sean dog, and had dwelt so long on salt water that i) I felt almost a hatred for the land, s On the 20th of October I received orders " i to put myself in readiness to sail for Cayenne. L' 11 was to transport 75 soldiers and a convict. 11 had orders to treat this individual well, and j the letter I received from the Directory en.! closed another, with a huge red seal which I I | was not to open until between 27? and 28? M west longitude; that is, just before we were ^ j about to cross the line. ' I The letter was a long packet, so closed on f | every side that it was impossible to catch a e glimpse.of its contents. I am not naturally 1 superstitious, but there was something in the e look of the letter that I did not altogether !> like, though I could give no reason why. Jiowever, i carneu il iiuo me eaoin, una stuck it under the glass of a little old shabby 11 English clock, which was fastened above my ^ head. I was busy fixing the letter under B the clock, when who should coine into my v cabin but the convict and his wife. This B was the first time I had seen either of them, and I may say that a more prepossessing couB pie I never met. The woman was scarcely E 15, and as handsome as a picture, while the e husband was an intelligent, magnificently I formed man, on whose features nature had ' never written "villian." His crime, to be plain, was the misfortune L' of being a hundred years ahead of his age. II He and others had attempted something B which the government had called treason, and which it punished with death. It, theres fore, occasioned me considerable wonder that 1 he should be placed in my charge. Hut more of this afterwards. He had, as I said, his wife hanging on his arm. She was merry as a bird ; she looked b like a turtledove, cooing and nestling beneath e his great wing. r | Before a month had passed over our heads, e I looked upon them as my own children. - i Every morning I, used to call them into my ej cabin. The young fellow would sit writing - ] at my table, that is to say, at my chest, which -1 was my bed. He would often help me at ,1 my reckoning, and soon learned to do better ) than I could. I was amazed at his ability. . His young wife would sit upon one of the >' round stools in my cabin, working at her 1 needle. One day we were silting in this way, i when I said : "Do you know my young ones, as it seems - to me, we make a very pretty family picture? - Mind, I don't mean to ask questions, but may be you have not much money to spare, i ami you are, both of you, as I think, too . i ,i:,, ?i,? i.?.... ,.r / .... i iiiiinirMMiii: iw in int.- imiiiiiii^ .-tun wi v iiy enne, like many a poor wretch before you. , It's u bad country?a ImhI country, take my word for it.

So, if you /. j should chance to have a bit of foolish friendj ship for your poor old captain, I'll tell you r what I'll do. I'll get rid of this old brig; I she's not much better than an old tub, after 1 all; so I'll settle myself down there with v you, if you like. You see I have not a live , ing soul to care for, or that cares for me. I - want relations, I want a home, I want a - family. I should like to make my hom* with you, my pretty ones! What say yeV" They said nothing at all, but sat looking, ; first at each other and then at me, as if they : doubled whether they understood what I 1 said. At last the lit lie bird threw her arms around my neck and cried like a baby. f "Hut," she said, suddenly pausing "you i haven't looked at the letter with the big red r seal." "Hang it!" I exclaimed, "it had slipped - my mind entirely." ? Willi a cold, dreadful sensation, I went to ; my chest to see where we were. I found that wc had several days remaining before - we should reach the proper longitude for opening the letter. > Well, there we stood, all three of us, looki ing up at the letter as if it could have spoken - to us. As it happened, the sun was shining full upon the face of the clock-case, and fell i upon the great staring red seal of the letter. - I could not help fancying it looked something like a big monster, an ogre's face, grini ning from the middle of the tire ; it looked horrid. - j "Could not one fancy," said I. to make them S . lau^iif "us i?ig wriu UUV ; i of its head ?" 5 "Ah, my love," said the wife, "it looks 11 like hlood." J "l'ooh, pooh !" said her husband, taking i her arm under his; "it looks like a letter of 11 invitation to a wedding. Come, come, leave ?j the letter alone if it troubles you. Let's go i' to our room and prepare for bed." 11 And otf they went. They went upon i; deck and left me with that beast of a letter. : I remember that I kept looking at it as I smoked my pipe; it seemed to lix its great red eye upon mine, fascinating me like the . eye of a serpent. It was red, white, raw, j staring like the maw of a fierce wolf. 1 took my great coat and hung it over both clock ami letter, and went upon deck to ' finish my pipe, j We were now in the vicinity of Cape de .! Verde islands?the 1 telle was running bcjifore a fair wind at the rate of 10 knots an . j hour. It was a splendid tropical night?the . stars large and shining; the moon rising | above the horizon, as large as a sun of silver, the line of ocean parting it, and a long . stream of bare, shimmering light falling ! upon the. waves, which as they broke sparkI ! led like jewels. I sat upon the deck, smokt i ing my pipe and looking at them. I j All was still, except the footfall of the ofiiieer of the watch, as lie paced the deck, gaz| ing, as I was, upon the vessel, stealing over , . the silent waters. , i I love silence and order?I hate noise and r\ confusion. The lights should all have been extinguished by this time; but when I look.; ed upon the deck, I thought I saw a little | red hue of light beneath my feel. At anothj I er lime and place this would have made, me ,1 angry ; but knowing the light came from the j cabin of my little exiles, I determined to see . what they were about. ! I bad only to look down ? I could see into ; the cabin from the skylight. The young girl was upon her knees; she ' j was saying her prayers. A lamp swinging from the ceiling lighted her room. She had on a long white nightdress,, and her fair , I golden hair, tloating over her shoulders, I almost touched two little bare feet which were peeping from under her while dress, so ' j pretty. I turned away, but pshaw! said I, ' j I am old sailor! What matters it? So I " i stayed. M The husband was sitting upon a little ' trunk, with bis bead resting upon bis hands, 1 ; looking at her as she prayed. She raised her face to heaven, and then I saw her large i 1.1.... ........ .I-..,... (111,.,) \? illi ti.di'U Sill* ImoL-hiI ' like ;i .Magdalene.

"So it seems to me," she answered. "I - i wish it could last forever." f Suddenly clasping his hands in a transport i' of love and alfcciion, he said : I' "And yet, my little angel, I see you cry - when you say your prayers, and that I can n.)t stand, for I know what causes it; then i ; I fear that you must repent what you have ) done." s. "IJepcnt?" she said, in a sad, rebuking i*' tone. "Repent of having come with you? -|l>o you think because I have been yours -only such a very, very short time, that I should not love you ? Was I not jour wife? | How can you be sorry that I should he with . you, to live with you if you live, and to die i with you if you are to die?" t The young man began to sigh, striking the 1 Hour impatiently with his feet, while he kiss_ ! ed repeatedly the little hand and arm which I)' she was holding out. il "Ah, Laurette, Laurette! When I think I): if our marriage had only been delayed live days, only live days, and then I should have been arrested and transported alone, I cani>: not forgive myself." r1 At this the little one stretched out her . ' round white arms, clasped his head, pressed i his forehead, his hair, his.eyes, smiling like, a f j cherub, and murmuring all sorts of woman's . fond things. I was quite affected, and eoni sidered it one of the prettiest sights I had f ever witnessed. "And besides, we are so very rich, too!" said she, bursting out laughing. "Look at my purse, one gold louis d'or?all my world! ly wealth." He began to laugh, too. ! "Ves, dear, I have spent my lust half-1 I erown. 1 gave it to the fellow who earned our trunks on board." "Ah, poor!" cried she, "what matters it ? j ' Nobody so merry as those who have nothing ! at all: besides, I have my two diamond ; rings that my mother gave me; they are good for something all the world over; we I can sell them when you like: and he-ides, I ! am sure that the captain meant kindly by jus, and I suspect he knows very well what I is in the letter. It's a recommendation to! j the governor of Cayenne." ! "Perhaps so ; who knows?" "To be sure it is," continued the charm* i ing little wife. "You are so good I am sure 1 the governor has banished you only for a short time?I know they have no feeling against you." j It was high time that the light should be stricken out, and I now rapped on the deck and called them to do so. They instantly obeyed, and I heard them laughing and chatting like two innocent schoolfellows. One morning when I awoke I was surprised not to feel the slightest motion of the vessel. Hurrying on deck, I found We were becalmed. Latitude, one degree north ; longil tude. between 27 and 28 degrees west. I waited until night, when I descended into the cabin and opened the letter with a dull, awful feeling. I held my breath while I broke tbe big red seal and read : "Captain Fontainbleau :?The convict, Antoine Hindsclear, stands convicted of high treason against the Republic. The Directory orders that lie be shot in mid-ocean, and you are hereby instructed to see that these orders are carried into effect." I rend the letter backwards and forwards. I went on deck. There they were, she looking upon the ocean, and he gnzing at her with expressions of unutterable fondness. Catching his eye, I signed for him to come into the cabin, and bidding her good-bye, he came down, his face all smiles. I was bathed in a cold sweat; I felt as if deadly sick ; I handed him the letter, and he rend it, together with the death-warrant, which was drawn up in due form, and attached. He colored slightly and bowed. "I ask nothing, captain," he said, in the same gentle voice that always characterized his speech; "no man can be expected to swerve from his duty ; I only wish to speak a few words to Laurette, and to entreat you to take care of her, if she should survive? but I hardly think she will." "All that is fair, my good fellow," said I. "If you request it, I will carry her back to France, to her family. I will never leave her until she wishes to be rid of me; but I do not think she will survive it." He took my hand and pressed it. "Most kind captain, I see you suffer more in this business than 1 do?but there is no help for it. I trust you will preserve what little properly of mine is left, for her sake, and that you will take rare she gels what her poor old mother may leave her. I put her life, her honor, in your hands. She is" (and here how fondly low his voice became) "a delicate little creature?her chest is often affected ; sIh? must keep it warm ; ami if she could keep the two diamond tings Iter mother gave her, I should he glad ; hut of course, if money is needed they must go. My poor Laurette?how pretty she looks!" It was getting too much for me, and T began to knit my brows. "One word is as good as a thousand," said I. "We two understand each other. (Jo to her." I squeezed his hand ; he looked wistfully at me, and I added: "Slay a moment; let me give you a word of advice. Don't say a word to her; be easy ; that is my business. It shall be managed in the best manner." "Ah !" said he, "I did not understand ; yes, much better. Resides, this leavotaking ! this leavetaking!" "Yes," said I, "don't behave like a childmuch better. No leavetaking, if you can help it, or you are lost." I kept my seat . I saw them walking armin-arm upon the deck for about half an hour. I called the male to me, ami when he had read the letter, I said : "CJarley, this is had business?had business. T put it in your hands. I obey the order, hut remain in the cabin till it is over." "How do you wish the thing done?" lie asked in a nonchalant iimiiimp. "Take him out in a boat?out of sight; do it as quick as possible ; don't say anything of this till the lime comes.". (Jarley sat five minutes looking at me with- . out saying a word. He was a strange fellow. I didn't know what to make of him. He j then went out of the cabin without saying a word. 1 Night came at last. "Man a boat; go a quarter of a mile ; he quick." To obey a slip of paper ! for it was but a slip of paper, after all. Something in the very air must have urged me on. I saw the young man kneel down before his Laurette ; kiss her knees! her feet! her gown! I cried out like a madman : "Part them ! part them this instant! Pait them?curse the Republic?curs? the Directory?the Directors! I quit the service! curse the lawyers! vou may tell them if you will!" She was dragged into her berth, and the boat rowed away in the darkness. Some time after a dull volley came over j the sea to the vessel. It was all over. | Pool, madman; how I paced the deck: | and cursed myself. All night long I paced | back and forth, and all night long I heard j ! the mourning of the poor stricken bird. Often I halted, and was tempted to throw j I !?i,t #1*/* oitn ?nwl Mti) f liic 1 wwrii I ! Ill J JMTI I llliw lliu ovti, ??? ? fw \ ii?i ?? ?.. <? torture of brain ami heat. Days passed. I saw nothing of Laurette. j I would not see her. She avoided me, and IJ ! was glad of it. I could not hear the sight of that woe-stricken face. j The mate, (Sarlej, how 1 hated him ! He j was as cool and unconsented as though he had no remembrance of shooting the poor j wretch. At Cayenne I resigned my ship. (Joinglol I the city, 1 made till my arrangements, and! j took the steamer for New York. I placed j ample funds in the hands of a trusty friend, and told him to send Laurette to me at the end of six months. I could not see her until her grief had lost its edge. Weary, sick and careless of my life, I wandered oil'into* York Stale, and finally bought a little place, where I hoped I should lay j j j down and die. i I sent for Laurel Ie. Poor bird, I must see | her. I could wait no longer. One summer night I sat in the porch of j ' my house, smoking my pipe and gazing down j the road. Soon the rumble of wheels was ! heard, and the stage hailed. ! The next moment a pair of arms was round i my neck, and the head of my sobbing LauI relic was on my bosom. I "Oh ! you dear excellent captain?" "Heavens! who is that behind you?" There stood I lie line manly form ol'Anloinc Hindselear, the convict. "What does this mean?" i demanded, hardly knowing whether I was dreaming or not. "Are you glad to see me?" "Thank Cod ! thank (Jod !" was all I could ejaculate. I understood it all. The mate, CJarlcy, had ; read my heart belter than I did myself. After leaving the brig in the boat, he arrangi ed the whole a Hair. The volley was tired, | hut no bullet touched Anionic Hindselear. ; He was smuggled into his berth again, and ! took care to avoid my sight. The whole crew ' were in the plot, and thank Cod. I was [ duped. I sent (inrlcy :i 1 ,U()u as a reward. I am now an old man ; but I am happy.
