THE HOMESTEAD. It is not as it used to be When you and I -were youujrr When 'round each elm and maple troo The boueysuckles clung; But still I love the cottage where I passed my early years, [Thjough not a single!lace is there That memory endears. It is not aAt."osed to bo; . ? ' The moss is on the roof, And from their nest beneath the caves The swallows keep aloof. The robbins?how they used to sing, When you and I were young; And flashed about the wild bee's wing The opening flowers among !? It is not as it used to be 1 The voices loved of yore, And the forms that we were wont to seo, We see and hear no more. No more 1 Alas! we look in vain Ifor those to whom we clung, And loved as we cart love but once, *""* "wlieh-you ancTI were young-.? SNATCHEI^FROM, THE BRINK. A cold, cloudy evening, with a sharp wind snatching the breath away at every corner.' Even the fine ladies shivered under their cloaks of velvet and.capes of I f??i'!?'poor- old woman was making her. way slowly through the crowded thor? oughfare. Her scant, worn garments afforded but little protection from the bitter wind that shook her withered frame. She passed groups of happy children, in. warm and gay attire, interchanging merry jests and laughs; the richly clad ladies greeted each other with courteous words and smiles. \ i But none gave word or smile to the poor old.woman; no friendly hand press? ed her cold, ?hln fingers. "The sli?ps dis? mayed their tempting contents to her eye only to remind her that she needed all things, and *-could buy nofehing. Night came. 6-v and snow, began toLfauL She moaned, and tried to covcr'her ach? ing arms under her scant old shawl. And now she was passing homes, where the warm firelight shone redly on the windows; 6he'caught alimpses of smiling groups and gay social gatherings. Her way led her past all these, far on through the gloomy, shabby streets of the poor. Stopping at ojxe of the gloomiest and shabbiestfofthe houses, me entered,and passad-ntNaf the "miserable room. Thfs was her home. On a straw pallet in one corner a squalid man was sleeping a dr?nk^n^eep?he. was Jier husband. She-seated herself on a low upturned box, and looked at him with stony, dreamy eyes^ thinking of all the misery this man wrpught her. Step by step, his vices- hid-dragged her down to the lowest ^SPJtAfi^.. Her mind traveled back over the wretched past to her marriage day?the day that had made her an unloving bride. She had married to pique another; to re? venge herself,"she; thought, on ter^once devoted lover. How sne shuddeYed at the thought of it. Thronging-memories erowd, upon.her of the days wheu she was a radiant beauty, and many lovers sought her hand. What a vain coquette she was; how she prided herself on her conquests, rejoicing in the suffering of others>;never caring that she was tramp? ing on the feelings of her fellow mortals. She used every art to charm her victims, to lure them ou with false hopes, to tighten her chain around them. They had suffered lor a while, for not* withstanding' the opinion vf scoffers to .the cqnfrary, the pangs of disappointed To^e*4are ke^n. B^tt lime, whhjh,-heals all wounds, had Healed the'irs. TKey had loved other women; had found hap f>y homes. Not one of them all, whose ove she had tossed aside as a broken toy. would have treated her as this man haa treated her, not oue but was immeasura? bly his superior. And one there was whom she had leally loved, but her selfish fondness for admiration ruled ever better feeling. How handsome and devoted he wn" Her careless heart was touched, and *fle promised to be his, and intended to KecP that promise. Tears dropped f-jm ?}c withered eves of the old v^man> Jn thinking of "her youthful lo-er. Vividly before her rose up their parting sceno; she.saw his flushing cbjCk an(l eye, and heard his earnest wc-43' . ' ' '? "If you go to tiie hall- Bertha, with George Shepar-? 1 aha11 ?e convinced that you are ? heartless coquette, and.noj the girl I -aough you were." "You -*re absurdly jealous, Willis." ?I fcaow that George would not seek you^0 constantly, unless he hoped to v?n you. If he has such hopes, you are trifling with him or me. If you allow him to accompany you to Mrs. White's ball, I will take it for granted that you prefer him, and will not intrude myself on you again." And yet she had gone to the ball with George Shepard, deluding herself with the thought that her; influence, over Willis Barton was too strong for him to cast off; she did not know the strength of his resolution when he believed him? self to be right, and she only found it eut after her folly had lost liim to her forever. As the remembrance of this pressed upon her, she sobbed. aloud. The sound disturbed the squalid sleeper, and Tie'opened his eyes and gazed &ypjdly_ around him. "What are you sniffling about?" asked he. A broken-handled pitcher was near liira; he reached out his hand and grasp ijjyi? hurled, it at her'head; it shivered mtopijjefei against the-walL With a great start, Bertha Gray awoke and found herself hing in her warm bed in her father's house while a bright sun, shining in, displayed the many comforts surrounding her. * It was all a hideous dream about her being a withered old woman?she was still the fair young beau ty But the quarrel with Willis?that re plity : they had parted in anger the eve? ning before. The bal 1 was to come off to nighVand she had fallen asleep in the firm determination, of keeping her en? gagement to go there with George Shep? ard. But the fatal step had not been ta? ken, and, warned by her dream, she re solved not to risk her happiness. As soon as her toilet was made she wrote a: note to George, telling him that she eould not attend the ball. She hoped that wh?ii Willi-* found she had not gone, he would be convinced that sho had too much affection for him to disregard his wishes. She passed a 'lay oi anxious surprise, and when night came on, she could not endure the cheerfulness of the family sitting-room. She sat alone in the large drawing room, thinking deeply, for the first time in her life. She began to realize that it was a cruel thing to play with hearts;. to encourage hopes, only to crush them. Her tears were faljing fast, when sud? denly the door-bell rang. Her heart beat quick with hope; then caution whis? pered : "Do not hone; he may not come | to-night?he may never como." Yes, it was the well-known footstep. The door ' opened, and Bertha involuntarily put a ? white hand to hide the mingled tear? and delight on her face. Willis paused a moment as she averted her head, then feline slowly to her side. "Ant I wrong to hope, Bertha, am .1 wrong ;?n thinking that you love me, and regard my wishes in not going to the bail with George Shcpurdf"' Berthas heart was too full to speak ; but while one soft hand shaded her cheek, the other was placed in Willis*. And would that every vain coquette would dream fair Bertha's dream. ' ?etting out of Bed.?Dr. Hall does not approve of the old doctrine which was formerly'instilled into the minds of children?that they should spring out of bed the instant they awake in the morn? ing. He says: Un to eighteen yearn old every child should be allowed to rest in bed, after the sleep is over, until they feel as if they would rather get up than not. It is a very great mistake for per? sons, old or young?especially children or sedentary persons?to bounce out of bed at the moment they wake up; all the instincts shrink from it, and fiercely kick against it. Fifteen or twenty minutes spent in gradually waking up, after the eyes' ate opened, and in turning over and stretching the limbs, do as ranch good as sound sleep, because the operations set the blood m- motion by degrees, tending to equalize the circulation; for during sleep the blood tends to stagnation., the heart beats feebly and slowly, and to shock the system by bouncing up in a instant and sending the blood in over? whelming quantity -to the heart, causing it to assume a gallop, where the instant before it was a creep, is the greatest ab? surdity. This instantaneous bouncing out of bed as soon as the eyes are open, will be followed by a weariness long be? fore noon. Important to Business Men.? "Prudence and economy of course are the two great lessons to bo learned ; but as one part of these lessons, which, in dull times, is very-liable to be forgotten, be Bure of one thing: 'Whatever you have to. sell there are many people ready to buy, even in the most depressed -seasons. ? Find them out; show them L'y our-wares;. persuade/them to buy of you rather than another. When buyers are reluctant, sellers must be active., It is neither cheap nor sensible.to sit still behind your counter and wait for the bostle* of trade to revive. When business is'dull.'thaf is the very ;time when you most need to advertise; and, in second place, that is when people devote most jiirae ia reading the newspapers, and when, your advertisement consequently is" generally most seen. A .few dollars thus invested will do more to revive a sluggish'business than anything else in the world." Woman's Influence.?As a rule, the whole tone of a home depends upon the woman at the head of it;. the average home, not the' povertv" stricken home, nor the*wealthy home, in this average homo whether sunshine shall enter the rooms, whether the parlor shall be used and en? joyed, whether the table shall be invit? ingly sproad, whether bright lights and bright fires shall give warmth and cheer On winter nights?whether, in brief, the home shall be an agreeable place, is usually what the woman detcrniihcs. Men are powerless in the matter. Some find soldce for a dismal home in study; some, occupation in business; somo sub? mit with what patience they can; others are attracted by the cheer of the publi" house; and it is especially young ycn who are apt, in consequence, to dri^ mt0 bad company and bad habits. Curious Stohy of a o>~federate General.?A curious ?w ? told of Gen.' C. -A; Evans, of Augusta, Ga/ At the battle of Monor-cy, Maryland, while leading his brip^e 111 battle be was struck in the le* "ide by a ,minnie ball. The ball pa^ed through' his arhi'and thence th,^uSh bis body. In plowing through Ali C0!tt pocket it tore through a paperuf pins burying some of them in thedesh. For the past few months he v?s been troubled with a pain about a 'foot and a"half from the wound. A week or two since a bump about as large as a pigeon egg was raised on the spot where the pain was most sev.ero. A few days ago thrjee or four pins worked out of this bump and it disappeared at once. Thus for eleven years Mr. Evans has been a walking pincushion. jj-rj An awful fate has overtaken a Tex? as lawyer. .The Bonham Enterprise says: Joe Duprce made his first speech on Tuesday, assisting Capt. Sims in the pros? ecution of AlJex. R?dgen. The jury sen? tenced him to be hanged. ? The newspapers state that a well known banker of Paris has absconded, leaving a deficit behind. Mrs. Parting ton thinks that it was very good of the poor man to leave it, when he might have got off clear with everything. ? Little Alice was crying bitterly, and, on being questioned, confessed to having received a slap from ode of her playfel? lows.. "You should hiive returned' it," unwisely 'said the questioner. "Oh, I re? turned it before," said the littlo girl. ? "What's your business?" asked the judge of a .prisoner at the bar. "Weil, s'poso you might call rag. a locksmith." "When did you last work at your trade ?'' "Last night when I heard a cry for police, I made a bolt for the door."" ? Kingston girls are opposed to in? troducing the letter-carrier system in that city.' "The idea!" says one of them, "of having letters left at.the house! Then we can't gb to the postoffice, and won't have any excuse for going down town." ?Rome Sentind. ? One of the odd industries, the na? ture and extent of which are compar? atively little known, is the manufacture of sand paper1, the amount of which article annually produced in the United States is estimated at not less than two hundred thousands reams, including the various grades and qualities. Formerly it was made of ordinary brown paper, glue, and sand. At present, for the most part, the paper is made of old rope, the best quality of glue is used, and instead of sand, pul? verized quart/, or flint. By this means a superior fabric is produced of a constantly uniform grade, and at so low a price that the use of it has become greatly extended, large quantities being exported to Europe, South America, the Pacific Islands, and elsewhere. ? A^ farmer who lives about five- miles west of Faribault, Minn., named Samuel Johnson, was going along the road Satur? day last when suddenly a little whirlwind, which described a circle apparently not more than three feet in diameter, ap? peared in the road in front of him. ft took up the dust pretty lively and buzzed like a swarm of bees, but Mr. .Johnson kept on bis way toward it, thinking it had no great amount of power. In fact he did cot think it worth bis while to step one side and let it whirl pn?t, but kept straight on and met it square in the road. When they came together the whirlwind see!,.cd to drop everything else and look bold of Mr. Johnson, and in le?s time than it take- to toll it. Mr. Johnson had 1? it his hat and his shirt and was pitched about twenty feet into the gutter, feeling as though he had been shocked by- t bat? tery. Mr. Johnson will never fool with a whirlwind again, FARMERS, ATTENTION!

July 1,1875_50 3m A GRAND SECRET MADE PUBLIC! THE great secret is PAY YOUR DEBTS, at least ever}- year, and then you will be rich, because you won't owe any body. Did you ever think of the idea that the person out of debt?if he is a gentleman?is "all right," whether lie has got anything left or not? The plan is pay early in tho fall, and not keep your creditors waiting until the next year; this is not business, and a people who keep in debt from year to year, never prosper. We make .these suggestions for the good of us all. We want to see evervbodv prosper, MORE ESPECIALLY OURSELVES, And we take this early opportunity, to tell every body and the balance of mankindgener erally. that you must all pay us up next fall, then we can all begin the year 1876, out of debt. 0 !
