LEAVING THE HOMESTEAD.
You're going to leave the homestead, John
You're twenty-one to-day,
And the old man will be sorry, John,
To see you go away.
You've labored late and early, John.
And done the best you could,
I ain't a goin' to stop you, John?
I wouldn't if I could.
But one thing let me tell you, John,
Before you make your start:
There's more in being honest, John,
Twice o'er than being smart.
Though rogues may seem to flourish, John,
And sterling worth to fail,
.Oh, keep in view the good and true,
'Twill in the end prevail.
Don't think too much of money, John,
And dig and delve and plan,
And rake and scrape in every shape,
To hoard up all you can.
Though fools niaytonnt their riches, John,
In shillings, pounds and pence,
The best of wealth is .youth and health,
And good, sound common sense.
And don't be mean or stingy, John,
But lay a little by
Of what you earn?you soon will learn
How fast 'twill multiply.
So when old age comes creeping on,
You'll have a goodly store
Of wealth to furnish all your needs?
And maybe something more.
There's shorter cuts to fortune, John,
We see them every day;
But those who save their self-respect
Climb up the good old way.
"All is not gold that glitters," John,
And makes the vulgar stare,
And those we deem the richest, John,
Have oft the least to spare.
Don't meddle with your neighbors, John,
Their sorrows or their cares ;
You'll find enough to do, my boy,
Tomiind your own affairs.
The world is full of idle tongues?
You can afford to shirk;
There's lots of people ready, John,
To do such' dirty work.
Be good, be pure, be noble, John ;
Be honest, brave, be true.
And do to others as ye would
That they should do to you.
And place your trust in God my boy,
"Though fiery darts be hurled,
Then you can smile at Satan's rage,
And face a frowning world."
LITTLE BY LITTLE.
"Little by little," the torrent said,
As it swept along its narrow bed.
Chafing in wrath and pride,
"Little by little," and "day by day,"
And with every wave it bore away
A grain of sand from the banks which lay
Like granite walls on either side.
It came again, and the rushing tide
Covered the valley far and wide.
For mighty banks were gone.
A grain at a time they were swept away; .
And now the fields and meadows lay
Under the waves, for the work was done.
"Little by little," the tempter said,
As a dark and cunning snare he spread
For the young, unwary feet;
"Little by little?' and "day by day,"
I'll tempt the careless soul astray,
Into the broad and flowery way,
Until the ruin is made complete.
"Little by little," sure and slow,
We fashion our future of bliss or woe
As the present passes away.
Our feet are climbing the stairway bright,
Up to the region of endless light,
Or gliding downward into the night;
"Little by little," and "day by day."
ALONE WITH A MADMAN;
"I have often heard of persons whose
hair was whitened from excessive fear,
but as I never saw myself any one so
affected, I am disposed' to be credulous
. on the subject"
The above remark was made *o Dr.
Maynard ?s we sat on the piazza of his
pretty villa, discussing; the different
effects of terror on dissimilar tempera?
ments. Without replying to me, the
doctor turned to his wife and said:
"Helen, will you please relate to my
old friend the incident -within your ex?
perience. It is the most convincing argu?
ment I can advance."
I looked at Mrs. Maynard in surprise.
I had observed that her hair, which was
luxuriant and dressed very becominglyj
was purely colorless, but as she was a
yonng woman) and also a very pretty
one, I,, surmised thatit was powdered to
. heighten "the" brilliancy^of her fine dark
eyes.
The doctor and I had been friends and
fellow-students, but after leaving college
we had drifted apart, I to commence
practice in an eastern city, he had to
pursue his. profession in a growing town
in the West I was now on.a visit to
hirh for the first time since his marriage;
Mrs. Maynard, no doubt, reading my
supposition in my look of incredulity,
smiled as she shook down her snowy
tresses over her shoulders, and seating
herself by her .husband's side, related
the following episode:
It is now nearly two.years ago since;
my husband was called on one evening*
to visit a patient several miles awayj
Qnt" domestics had all gone to a "wake'l
in the vic^n'ty> ?fi dead man Tbeing ?
relative of o2e of our ^serriag . women,i

the piazza were open as -now. but !
cured the blinds before my husband's de?
parture, and I locked the. outside jdoors,
all except the front one,'which I left for
the doctor to kn& after going out, so that
if I should fall asleep before his return,
he could enter, without aro?sing me. I
heard the doctor's "rapid footsteps on the
gravel, by the - urgent tones of the mes?
senger, who awaited him, and atfter the
sharp rattle of .carriage wheels, had be-1
come but an echo, I seated myself by the!
parlor astral and soon became-absorbed;
in the book I had been reading before;
being disturbed by the summons. But'
after a tim3 my interest succumbed to'
drowsiness, and I thought of retiring,
when the clock in the doctors study ad-!
joining the parlor struck twelve, so I de-'
termined to wait a few moments more,1
feeling that he would be h?rne very soon.
I closed my book, donned a robe de cham
bre, let down my hair, and then returned;
to my seat to patiently wait and listen.
Not the faintest sound disturbed the still-'
ness of the night. Kot a breath of air
stirred the leaf. The silence was so
oppressive, I longed for the sharp click
of the gate latch and the well-known
step- a? the gravel walk, I did not dare
to weak the bush myself by* moving or
singing, I was so* oppressed by the deep'
stillness. The human mind is a strange
torturer of itself/ I began to conjure tip.

the midst of which the stories I had;
heard from superstitious: people abofcfc

suddenly, like the man whom?my ser-.
vants had gone to "wake," who had been;
killed by an accident at the saw milti
In the midst of these Horrifying reflec-:
tions I was startled by a stealthy footfall
on the piazza. I listened between fear
and hope. It might be the doctor. ;But
no, he would not tread like that; thestep
was too soft and cautious for.;anything
less, wily than a cat As Ilistened again,
my eyes were fixed on the window-blind.
I .saw" the slate move slowly and softly,
and the rays of a full moon disclosed a
thin, cadaverous face, and bright, glitter-,
ing eyes peering at me. Oh, horror!
who was it? What was it? I felt the
cold perspiration start at every porei I
seemed frozen, in my chair. I could not
move, I could not cry, out, my tongue
seemed glued to the roof of my . mouth,
while .th?Ndeainly white, Dace pressed
closer, *nd the greater sunken eyes wan?
dered in their gaze about the room.. In
a few moments the blind closed as noise?
lessly as it had opehedj and the cautious
footstep came toward the door. "Merci?
ful heaven!" I cried, in a horror-stricken
whisper, as I heard the key turn in the
lock, "the doctor, in his haste, must have
forgotten to withdraw the key."
^j?d forgive me 1" ejaculated Dr.
Maynard, interrupting his wife, and
looking far more excited than she. "I
can never forgive myself for such a
thoughtless act. Please proceed, my
dear."
I heard the front door open, the step
in the hall, and helpless as a statue I sat
riveted to my chair. The parlor door
was open, aud in it stood a tall, thin
man, whom I had never beheld before.
He was dressed in a long, loose robe, a
sort of gaberdine, and a black velvet
skull cap partially concealed a broad
forehead, underneath which, gleamed
black eyes, bright as living coals, and
placed so near together that their gaze
was preternatural in its directness; heavy
grizzled eyelids hung over them like the
tangled mane of a lion ; the nose was
sharp and prominent, and the chin was
overgrown with white hair, which hung
down in locks weird as the ancient
mariner's.
He politely doffed his cap, bowed,, re?
placed it, and then said, in a slightly
foreign accent:
"Madame, it is not necessary for me to
stand on any further ceremony, as your
husband, Dr. Maynard, (hereupon he
again bowed profoundly) has already
acquainted you with the nature of my
business here to-night. I perceive," he
added, glancing at my negligent robe,
"that you were expecting me."
"N-o," I found voice to stammer, "the
doctor has said nothing to me about a
visitor at this hour of the night."
"Ah, he wished to spare you, no doubt,
a disagreeable apprehension," he re?
turned, advancing and taking a seat on
the sofa opposite me, where for a few
moments he sat and. eyed me keenly
from head to foot with a strange glitter?
ing light in his" eyes that mysteriously
impressed me. "You have a remarkable
fine physique, madame." He observed
quietly; "one that might deceive the
eye of the most skilled and practical
physician. Do you suffer much pain ?"
"Unable to speak, I shook my head.
A terrible suspicion was creeping over
me. I was alone?miles, perhaps away
from aid or rescue?with a madman.
"Ah," he continued, "your husband
may have mistaken a tumor for a cancer.
Allow me to feel your pulse, he said ris?
ing and bending over me."
"I thought it best to hirifcor him, re?
membering it was unwise for a helpless
woman to oppose the, as yet, harmless
freak of a lunatic. He took out his
watch, shook his head gravely, laid my
hand down gently, then went towards
the study, where, on the table, was an
open case of surgical instruments.
"Do not be alarmed, madame," he
said, turning toffie as I was about to rise
and flee, and in another instant he was
by my side with the case in his posses?
sion.
"Spare me I Oh, spare me, I beseech I"
"Madam," he said sternly, clamping
my wrists with his long sinewy fingers
with a grip of steel, "you behave like a
child. I have no time to parley," for I
have.received a letter from the Emperor
^f the French stating that he is suffering
from an iliac abscess, and is desirous of
my attendance. I must start for Europe
immediately after performing the opera?
tion on your breast," and before I could'
make the slightest resistance he had me
in his arms, and was carrying me into
the study, where there was a long table
with green baize. On this he laid me,
and holding* me down with one hand
with the strength of a maniac, he brought
forth from some hidden recess in nis
gown several leather strings, with which
he secured me to the table with the skill
of an expert. It was but the work of a
moment to unloose my robe and bare my
bosom. Then, after carefully examining
my left breast, he said:
"Madame, your husband has made,a
mistake. I find no necessity for my in?
tended operation."
At this I gave a long-drawn sigh of
relief, and prepared to rise.
"But," he continued, "I have dis?
covered that your heart is as large as that
of an ox? I will remove it so that you
may see for yourself, reduce it to its nat?
ural size by a curious process of my own,
unknown to the medical science, and of
which I am the sole discoverer, and then
replace it again."
He now begun to examine the edge of
the cruel knife, on which I closed my
eyes, while every nerve was in percepti?
ble tremor.
"The mechanism of the heart is like a
watch," he resumed; "if it goes too fast
the great blood vessel that supplies the
force must be stopped like the lever of a
watch, and the works must be cleaned
and repaired and regulated. It may in?
terest yon to know that I was present at
the post-mortem examination held over
the remains of the beautiful Louise of
Prussia. Had I been consulted before
death I would have saved her by taking
out her heart and removing the polypi
between-which it.-was wedged like as if
in a vice; but I was called too late. The
King and I had a little difference?he
was a German, I am French. I trust
that is sufficient explanation."
He now bent over me, his long white
beard brBabing my face. I raised my
eyes beweekiDgly, trying to think o'f
some way to save myself:
"Ob, sir, give me an anaesthetic that I
may not feel the pais," I pleaded.
"Indeed, indeed, nadame, I would
comply, with your wish- were you not the
wife of a physician?of a skilful surgeon.
I wish you to note with what ease I per
fbrni this difficult operation so that you
may teil your husband of the great savant
whose services he secured, fortunately in
season."
As he said this he made a final test of
his knife on his thumb. How moments
were fleeing all too fast, and yet eternity
seemed compressed to every one. I
never fainted in my life, and I never felt
less-like swooning than now, as I som

to bring a napkin l<y staanch the blood.

"Ah, madame," he said, shakiite his
head sagaciously,."! never draw blood
during a surgical operation; that is aa
other one of my secrets, unknown to the
faculty.".
Then placing his hand on my bosom
he added with horrible espieglerie:
"I'll scarcely mar that whiter skin
than snow, and smooth as monumental
&1 r b tis t c r
"O, God I" I cried, as I felt the cold
steel touch my breast; but with the same
breath came deliverance.
Quick as thought a heavy woolen
piano cover was thrown over the head
and person of the madman, and bound
tightfr about him. As quickly was I re?
leased, and the thongs that had bound
me soon held the maniac.
My husband bad me in his arms. He
had^ noiselessly approached, and taking
the horror of my situation at a glance,
had, by the only means at hand, secured
the madman, who was tho very patient
"he had been summoned" to attend, but
who had escaped the vigilance of his
keeper soon after the departure of the
messenger, who had now returned with
the doctor in pursuit of him. As the
poor wretch was being hurried away he
turned to me and said; "Madame, this
is a plot to rob me of my reputation.
Your husband is envious of my great
skill as a surgeon. Adieu!" I after?
ward learned that the man had once
been an eminent surgeon in Europe, but
much learning had made him mad.
When he bound me to that table my
hair was as black as a raven; when I
left, it was as you see it now, white as
full-blown cotton,
Go Back.
To the young man with his hair parted
in the middle who is about to put his
college education and his sole leather
trunk on the Texas bound train, we say,
stop! To the clever artisan and the hon
est mechanic who thinks he will go from
his hard time where he is to get imagina?
ry well paid employment in the-Lone
Star State, we also say?stop !
To the adventurous rustic who wishes
to leave hoeing the turnips of some New
York or Georgia farm to find a soft thing
in this land of prairies, we emphatically
repeat, stay where you are! We would
that we inhabited the earthly Elysium
that some Texas papers say we do, but
we are afraid we don't. From the bot?
tom of our hearts we should be glad to
think that there was plenty and prosper?
ity for every one who seeks to settle
among us?but all the same there isn't.
We do possess something of an ap?
proach to the eternal summer and mar?
velous growth which the East is so tired
of hearing us brag about, but that is all.
Sooth to say, there is no chance here for
men without money, all the eager, new,
arrivals to the contrary notwithstanding.
In plain English, the paper that speaks
of the magnificent opportunities this
State presents to the new comer, lies?
and lies in a very gratuitously criminal
way indeed.
The unvarnished truth is, that our la?
bor market is stocked to overflowing, and
every fresh arriving train but adds to the
miserable multitude in our midst that
waits, suffers, starves, and finally fights
its desperate way back home again. Be?
fore the door of nearly every bouse in
this city, there daily begs a hollow-eyed
swarm that would sadden the heart of a
satyr. Men of brains and culture, good
clerks, excellent accoutants, business men
of undeniable energy, mechanics of abil?
ity, walk the streets in dumb despair, and
finally take the road that leads to the
chain gang and workhouse.

one evening for very many that he has
not been asked for money to buy a meal

died on the rack than asked alms in the

on the rack?the rack of bitter disap?

Advice to Newspaper Correspondents.
Never write with a pen or ink. It is
altogether too plain, and doesn't hold the
mina of editors and printers closely
enough to their work.
If you are compelled to use ink, never
use that vulgarity known as the blotting
pad. If you drop a bit of ink on the
paper, Kck it off. The intelligent com?
positor loves nothing so dearly as to read
through the smear this will make across
twenty words. We have seen him hang
over such a piece of copy half an hour,
swearing like a pirate all the time, he
felt that good.
Don't punctuate. We prefer to punc?
tuate all manuscript sent us. And don't
use capitals. When we can punctuate
and capitalize to suit ourself, and your
article, when you see it in print, will as?
tonish even if it does not please you.
Don't try to write too plainly. It is a
sign of plebeian origin and public school
breeding. Poor writing is an indication
of genius. It is about the only indica?
tion of genius that a great many men
possess. Scrawl your article with your
eyes shut and make every word as illegi?
ble as you can. We get the same price
for it from the ragman as though it were
covered with copper plate sentences.
Avoid all pains taking with proper
names. We know the full name of every
man, woman and child in the United
States, and the.merest hint at the name
is sufficient. For instance, if you write a
character something like & drunken fig?
ure "8," and then draw a wavy line, we
will know at once that means Samuel
Morrison, even though you may think
you mean "Lemuel Messenger." It is a
great mistake that proper names should
be written plainly.
Always write on both sides of the
paper, and when you have filled both
sides of every page, trail a line up and
down every page, trail a line up and
down every margin and back to the top
of the first page, closing your article by
writing the signature just above the date.
How we do love to get hold of articles
written in this style. And how we like
to get hold of the man who sends them.
Just for ten minutes. Alone. In the
woods, with a cannon in our hip pocket.
Bevenge is sweet, yum, yum, yum.
Lay your paper on the ground when
you write; the rougher the ground the
better.
When your article is completed, crunch
your paper in your pocket, and carry it
two or three days before sending it in.
This rubs off the superfluous pencil
marks, and makes it lighter to handle.
If you can think of it, lose one page
out of the middle of your article. We
can easily supply what is missing, and
we love to do it. We have nothing else
to do. __
Value of Accuracy.?It is the re?
sult of every day's experience that steady
attention to matters of detail lies at the
root of the human progress, and that
diligence, above all, is the mother of
good luck. Accuracy is also of much
importance, and an invariable mark of
good training in a man?accuracy in ob?
servation, accuracy in speech, accuracy
in the transaction of affairs. What is
done in business must be well done; for
it is better to accomplish perfectly a
small amount of work than to halfdo ten
times as much. A wise man used to
say. "Stay a little that we may make an
end the sooner." Too little attention,
however, is paid to this highly important
quality of accuracy. As a man eminent
in practical science lately observed, "It
is astonishing how few people I have met
in the course of my experience who can
define a fact accurately." Yet, in busi?
ness affairs, it is the manner even in
which small matters are transacted that
often decides men for or against you.
With virtue, capacity, and good conduct
in other respects, the person who is
habitually inaccurate in other respects
cannot be trusted; his work has to be
done over again, and he thus causes end?
less annoyance, vexation, and trouble.

Maturity of Seed.
Upon a little reflection it is very ob?
vious, and appears rational and physio?
logical, that the vigor and productive?
ness of a plant depend very much upon
the perfect maturity and vital condition
of the seed from which the plant springs,
and that no manure or fertility of soil
can make a weak plant as vigorous and
productive as a strong one. This is true
of every plant, from a radish to an oak.
Yet how seldom is this truth regarded.
Has it never occurred to the planter to
ask himself why there is so much differ?
ence in the plants of corn in the same
hill, all treated alike? or, why there is
such a difference in the vigor of a lot of
seedlings of any plant when all are in
the same bed or drill, and under the same
conditions? I could state many facts
tending to show that by careful attention
to the perfect maturity of seed the pro*
ductiveness of annual plants can be much
increased, and that perennial plants can
be obtained of quicker growth and great?
er hardiness, but it does not seem neces?
sary to do this. Indeed I believe the
"running out" of the new wheats and
other plants in a few years after their in?
troduction is caused by the premature
gathering of the crop to avoid the waste
of seed; and yet the plant from one
heavy, well-matured grain, would tiller
and yield more at harvest than five
shrunken kernels with their puny and
yellow stalks. So, too, of corn. It often
rots in the ground, or comes up feeble
and yellow, and the planter often says in
explanation of this, "that the weather is
too cold; the ground is too wet; there is
too much manure iu the hill," &c. On
inquiry, I have generally found in such
instances, that the farmer went through
his field before harvest to select his seed
corn, or if selected at the husking, more
attention was given to the size of the ear
thai .0 the ripeness of grain. One of my
neighbors, however, follows the practice
of his grandfather, and selects for seed
only the ears which have limber huts to
the cobs or ears, though the ears may be
small, or mere "nubbins." He does
not know why these ears were preferred,
but his corn always ripens and yields a
good crop; and it is evident, from the
condition of che cob, that the grain is
ripe, and receiving no further nutriment
from the root or leaf.
I think it would pay well for every
farmer to leave a portion of his field to
stand ungathered until the grain is per?
fectly ripe, even if some shook out; and
in the case of corn, not to cut the top
stalks, but leave every part of the plant
to complete its appropriate function in
the perfection of the seed.?Geo. Haskell

How a Young Husband got Weaned
from His Cups.
A young wife in Michigan had just got
settled in her new home. All seemed
fair and promising, for she did not know
that her husband was a drunkard. But
one night he came home at a very late
hour and much the worse for liquor.
When he staggered into the house, the
wife, who was greatly shocked, told him
he was sick, and to lie down at once;
and, in a moment or two, he was comfort*
ably settled on the sofa in a drunken
sleep. His face was reddish purple, his
breathing was heavy, and altogether he
was a pitiable looking object. -The doc?
tor was sent for post-haste, and mustard
applied to his feet and hands. When the
doctor came aud felt bis pulse, and exam?
ined him, and found that he was only
drunk, he said:
"He will be all right in the morning."
But the wife insisted that he was very
sick, and that severe remedies must be>
used.
"You must shave bis head and apply
blisters," she urged, "or I will send for
some one who will."
The husband's head was accordingly
shaved closely and blisters applied. The
patient lay all night in a drunken sleep,
and, notwithstanding the blisters were
eating into his flesh, it was not till near
morning that be began to beat about dis?
turbed by pain.
About daylight he waked up to a most
uncomfortable conciousness of blistered
agonies.
"What does this mean," be said, put?
ting his hand to bis bandaged head.
"Lie still you musn't stir," said the
wife, "you have been very sick."
"I'm not sick."
"Oh, yes you are; you have brain
fever. We have been working with you
all night."
"I should think you had," groaned the
poor victim. "What's the matter with
my feet."
"Thev are blistered."
"Well, I'm better now; take off the
blisters, do," he pleaded piteously.
He was in a most uncomfortable state
?his head covered with sores, and his
feet and hands were still worse.
"Dear," he said, groaning, "if I should
ever get sick iu this way again, don't be
alarmed and send for the doctor, and
above all, don't blister me again."
"Oh, indeed I will?all that saved you
were the blisters, and if you ever should
have another such spell, I should be more
frightened than ever?for the tendency I
am sure is to appoplexy, aud from the
next attack you will be likely to die
unless there were the severest measures
used."
He made no further defense; suffice it
to say he never had another attack.
Domestic Ruin.
A New York letter contains the fol?
lowing :
There is no denying that a good deal
of the financial trouble that culminates
in bankruptcy comes from extravagant
living. Sometimes it is the man himself
that paves the way for the sheriff, but
quite often, it his family. A case in
point as to the latter occurred not very
long ago. A New Yorker happened to
meet, down town, an acquaintance from
a neighboring city and dropped into con?
versation with him. After a few casual
remarks the New Yorker asked about his
friend's family, expressing a hope that
they were well.
"Ob, I suppose they are," said Mfc J.,
rather indifferently.
"How is that ?" asked the New York?
er. "I hope nothing has happened."
"Well, yes, something has happened,"
replied Mr. J. "The fact of the matter
is I haven't seen my family in six
months. You know I was doing a pretty
good business in B-, and the folks at
home got to living away up. Nothing
would satisfy them bi^t the best. As
long as I could afford it, I let them have
money right and left, but presently times
got hard, business fell off and I found
that I was going bebind. I didn't want
to alarm my family, but 1 hinted that a
little economy was desirable. But they
paid no attention. The demands for
money went on just the same. Then I
told them they must economize, that I
was absolutely unable to support them
in such extravagance. It was no use,
though; if I didn't give them cash they
got credit and the bills came to me. I
stood it as long as I could and I then
said: 'Here, if you won't live on what I
can give you ont of my business, take the
business itself,' so I just made over the
whole place to them and left. They ran
it a few months, and then the sheriff
stepped in, and I haven't seen any of my
family since. I tried hard to provide for
them, but tbey wouldn't let me, and that
is the result. I can hardly take care of
myself now, and it is all on account of
the extravagance at home."
? Be careful to injure noj one's feel?
ings by unkind remarks. Never tell
tales, make faces, call names, ridicule
the lame, mimic the unfortunate, nor be
cruel to insects, birds or animals.
? Speaking of the sentiment, "She
who rocks the cradle rules the world," a
Southern paper says, "In this section she
is generally a colored girl, and we don't
believe a word of it,"
Domestic Stringency.?Bro. Gard?
ner suddenly put in an appearance on
Griswold street, yesterday, with a note
of hand of the face value of $400, which
he wanted discounted. He made strong
appeals to all the banks, but in vain,
and be finally mounted the post-office
steps and called out :
"Gem'len, here a in a note of fo' hun?
dred dollars, due in twelve mo' days, and
I'll sell it for two shilling "
Several persons asked to look at the
note, which was signed by an unknown
party and not drawn up ia due form.
"If this man is able to pay the value of
the note why do you offer it for two shil?
lings?" asked one of the group.
"Well, dere am sev'ral reasons," slow?
ly renlied Mr. Gardner, "It doan' seem
to me dat de man can pay it. It doan'
seem to me dat he'll be aroun' on de day
it's due. He gin me dat note for an ole
hoss, and de hoss died on him in about
an hour. But, gem'len, de great big
main reason what I want to disaccount
dis note is the fact dat Mrs. Gardner has
sprung a lawn party on me fur dis
evenin' w'dout a word o' warnin'. All
de preparashuns we has made dis fur is
to borrow six char's an' a spittoon, an'
Ize got to sacrifice dis note to get de
baker's bread an herrings."
A Brave Captain.?A good story of
Prince Paskievitch : During the war of
Warsaw he had ordered a certain Polish
battery to be silenced by his own artillery,
and became perfectly wild with rage on
observing that the artillery firg produced
no appreciable effect. Gallopping to the
battery be asked:
"What idiot is in charge here?"
"I, sir," answered the officer.
"Then down you go to the ranks this
very day," said Paskievitch. "You don't
begin to know your trade; your shells
do not explode."
"I know they dou't," answered the
captain; "for the best of all reasons that
they can't explode."
"That's a he," said the prince.
"Is it? See for yourself, then," re?
plied the officer, coolly picking up a
shell from the pile and lighting the fuse,
and holding it up between himself and
the marshal. The marshal tranquilly
crossed bis arms and watched till the
fuse sputtered and went out. "There,
sir," said the artilleryman, triumphantly,
as he threw the shell on the ground.
"You were right, after all," growled
the marshal, and rode away to another
point of the line; but at night the cap?
tain received at his tent the cross of St.
Vladmir for bravery in the field.
The Time to Eat Fruit.?The ear?
lier in the day fruits are eaten the better.
They should be ripe, fresh and perfect,
and if eaten in their natural state, it is
almost impossible to take too much.
Their healthful qualities depend on their
ripe acidity, but if sweetened with sugar,
the acidity is not only neutralized, but
the stomach is tempted to receive more
than it can digest, and if cream is taken
with them, the labor of digestion is in?
creased. No liquid of any description
should be drank within an hour after
I eating fruits; nor should anything else
be eaten within two or three hours?thus,
time being ailowed for them to pass out
of the stomach, the system derives from
them all their enlivening, cooling and
aperient influences. The great rule is,
eat fruits, and berries while fresh, ripe
and perfect, in their natural state, with:
out eating or drinking anything for at
least two hours afterward. With these
restrictions, fruit may be eaten in mode?
ration during the day and without get?
ting tired of them, or ceasing to be ben?
efited by them during the whole season.

and mother; and I firmly believe that a
blessing has, in consequence, rested upon
me and all my efforts."
? Apropos of the tight-fitting dress
mania. At some of the leading Paris
stores they dress up young girls in the

dressed in a robe that fitted exceedingly

? The season at Saratoga -Springs
seems to be at its hight for this year.

ing the best, with 600 or 700 guests, the
Congress Hall next with perhaps 500,
and the Grand Union, of largest capacity,
with perhaps 600. There is no falling
off in the popularity of Saratoga; on the
contrary, it may well be said to be on the
gain as a summer resort, and to be a long
way ahead of all other American water?
ing places, but the supply of accommo?
dations grows faster than the increase of
company, and may well uow stop till the
demand catches up.

puted evidence of its great medical value, aa tbe
For every complaint for wbicb Vegetine to

done is furnished to tbe public at large, and no

Boston, Deo. 17, 1872.
H. R. Stevens, Esq.: Dear Sir?May 1 ask the
favor of you to make my case public?
In 1861, while on picket duty in the armv, I
was taken with a fit, which lasted all night.
Was taken into camp and dosed wftb whlsKey
and quinine. After this had fits every day, aud
was taken to Nowbern Hospital, and there
treated by the attending physicians. I grew
worse and was sent borne. Remained in poor
health for four years, treating with many physi?
cians and trying many remedies. Finally Scrof?
ula made its appearance on different parts of
my body, and my head was so diseased as to be
frightful to look at, and painful beyond endur?
ance. After trying the most eminent physicians,
without improvement, a change of climate was
auVlsed.
Have been to tbe Hot Springs in Arkansas
twice, each time giving their treatment a
thorough trial. Finally came back to Boston,
discouraged, with no hope of help. Life was a
burden to one in my situation. My disease, and
the effect of so much powerful medicine, had so
damaged my system tbat the action of my stom?
ach was apparently destroyed, and my head was
covered with ulcers which bad in places eaten
into tbe skull bone.
The best physicians said my blood was so full
of poison they could do no more for me. .About
this time a friend who bad been an invalid told
meVEOETiNEhad restored h im to perfect health,
and through his persuasion 1 commenced taking
Veoetine. At this time! was having fits al?
most every day. I noticed the lirst good effects
of Vegetine in my digestive organs. My food
sat better and my stomach grew stronger. I
began to feel encouraged, for I could see my
health slowly and gradually improving. Witt
renewed hope I continued taking the Vege?
tine, until it had completely driven ilistase out
of my body. It cured the fit*, gave me good,
pure blood, and restored me to perfec t health,
which I had not enjoyed before for ten years.
Hundreds of people in the city of Boston can
vouch for the above facts.
Vegetine has saved my life, and you are at
liberty to make such use of this statement as
pleases you best, and I beg of you to make it
known that other sulferers may find relief with
less trouble and expense than 1 did.
it will afford me great pleasure to show the
marks of my disease or give any further infor?
mation relative to my case to all who desire it.
1 am, sir, very gratefully, JOHN PECK,
No. 50 Sawyer street, Boston, Mass.
Twenty-Seven Years Ago.
H. K. Stevens, Esq.: Dear Sir?This is to cer?
tify tbat my daughter was taken sick when she
was three years old, and got so low tbat we were
obliged to keep her on a pillow, without moving,
to keep the little thing together. She was at?
tended by several physicians ?tbe regular at?
tending oue being old Dr. John Stevens. They
all pronounced her case incurable. She had
been sick about a year, when hearing of the great
Blood Remedy, Vegetine, I commenced giving
her that, and continued it regularly till she was
about seven years old, when she was pronounced
perfectly cured. During her sickness three
pieces of bone were taken from her right arm
above the elbow, one of them being very Jong.
Several small pieces were also taken from her
left leg. She is now twenty-seven years old,and
ia enjoying good health, aiid has ever since she
was seven years old, with no signs of Scrofula
' or any other blood disease. Her arm is a little
crooked, but she can use it almost as well as the
other. Her legs are of equal length, and she is
not in tbe least lame. Her case was Scrofula,
inherited In the blood; and 1 would recommend
all those having Scrofula Humor or any other
blood disease, if they wish to have a perfect
cure, to try Vegetine, the reliable blood rem?
edy, which does not weaken the system like
many other preparations recommended, but, on
the contrary, it is nourishing and strengthening.
My daughter's case will fully testify this, for I
never saw nor beard of a worse form of Scrofula.

THE BEST PUMP IN THE WORLD.
NOTHING- conduces more to GOOD HEALTH than PURE WATER. Such is fur
nished by the
DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PUMP,
Manufactured bv J. C. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure amt fresh
from the bottoni of the well. No slime or filth collects on the pump or in the well. No
snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities,
and can be operated by a small child with ease, and brings the water fresher than any oth?
er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and outside, and never will decay. It improves the
water bevond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of
water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at your door to
extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance. Its work?
ing gives complete satisfaction, as those acquainted with it will testify.
It is a home enterprise, permanently established, and relies on its own merits, upon
which it asks vour patronage. This Pump is represented in Anderson and adjoining
Counties, together with the Counties of Hart, Elbert, Wilkes and Oglethorpe in Georgia,
