Before you lutiku your Mart : There's more in being honest, John, Twice o'er Utan ln'i.ig .-mart. Though rogues may seem to flourish, John, Ami sterling worth to fail, Oh, keen in view the good and truo, '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 nil you can. Though fools may'count their riches, John, In shillings, ]>o'umls and pence, Thc best of wealth is youth and health, And good, sound common sense. And don't l?e mean or stingy, John, Hut lay a little hy Of what you earn-you soon will learn How fast 'twill multiply. Bo when old age conics creeping on, You'll hnve a goodly store.

LITTLE BY LITTLE. "Little by little," the torrent said. As it swept along its narrow hud. ('baling in wrath and pride, "Little by little," and "day by day." And with every wave it hort; away A grain of sand from the banks which lay Like granite walls on either side. It came again, anil the rushing tide Covensl tho valley far und wide. For mighty banks were gone. A grain at a time they were swept away ; And now the fields ami meadows lay Under the waves, for the work was don?. "Little by little," the tempter said. Asa dark nnd cunning snare he spread For thc vonng, unwary feet; "Little bv little," and "dav by doy," i'll tempt the careless soul astray, Into the broad and flowery wuv. Until thc ruin is made complete. "Little by little," an ru and slow, We fashion our future of bliss or woe Aa the present posses away. Our feet are climbing tho Mairway bright, Up to tho region of endless light, Or gliding downward Into the night; "Little by little," and "day hy day." ALONE WITH A MADMAN. "I have often heard of persona whose bair waa whitened from excessive fear, but as I never Baw mvHolf any ono BO affected, I um disposed to be credulous on thc subject." The above remark was made to Dr. Maynard as wo sat on the piazza of his pretty villa, discussing the different effects of terror on dissimilar tempera? moiii?i. V? tthout replying io ?nc, tue doctor turned to his wife and said : "Helen, will you please relate to my old friend tho incident within your ex* penance. It is the most convincing argu ment I can advance" I looked at Mrs. Maynard tu uurnrise. I had observed that her hair, which was luxuriant sud dressed very becomingly, waa purely colorless, but BB she was a young woman, and ulao a very pretty one, I. surmised that it was powdered to heighten the brilliancy ot her fino dark eyes. Tho doctor and I had been friends and fellow-student*, hut after leaving collego we had drifted apart, I to commence practice in an eastern city, ho had to pursue his profession in a growing town in the West I was now on a visit to him for tho first time since his marriage. Mrs. Maynard, no doubt, reading my supposition in my look of incredulity, smiled as sho shook down her snowy tressea over her shoulder?, and seating herself by her thuaband'8 eldo, rel at eil thc following episode : It is now nearly two.years ago nineo my husband was called on one evening; to visit a patient several ; miles awayj Qiu" domestics bad all gone, to a "wake ; in tho v'cm'ly? tn!e dead man being a relative of o_0 of our setvingT women.; Thus I was left * ?,u?- jjttMwfeltino! fear, for we never bia h.e?<* $ burglars or any sort of desMrauw??

But after a time my interest succumbed to! drowsiness, and I thought of retiring, when tho clock iu tho doctor's itudy ad-| joining thc parlor strtick twelve^sd ? d?-j iermlned to yVsit, a tew foments more,1 feeling that he would bo home very soon. I closed my book, donned a roWaVeAa?-] bix, let down'my bair, and-then returned to my seat to patiently wait and listen. Not the faintest pound disturbed,the ?111 neaa of the night. Not * breath bl air stirred tba leaf. The silence, wal. to oppressive. I longed' far the sharp click; of the crate latch and the well-known step oa the gravel walk. I did not dare* to break tho bush myself by movi?g?r. singing, I was ec* oppressed by tb*' deep] stillness. The human muri ls ? strange torturer of ifcclf. ? began to conjuro upi vivid fancies about ghostly visitants, Inj the midst bt which tho stories: I ^d. heard fr?><u tuperstitious-i pe?sde MW tho troubled apiriW orthos?who ha?ldW^ suddenly.' like the. m&rt whptn 'm/Vaeh vants bsd gono to "wake," who? bad he?bj killed by an accident nt *the, ?ate mlu In the midst of these 'terrifying refino-! tiona I was startled by a stealthy footfall. | on tho piazza, l ?sie?i? between rear, and hope.

"I ?Min never forgive myself for such a thoughtless act. Please proceed, my dear." E '-eard tho front door open, the step in thc hall, and helpless as a statue I sat riveted to my chair. The parlor door was open, and in it stood a tall, thin man, whom 1 had never bebb?? before, j He was dressed in a long, loone robe, a sort of gabcrdiuiv and a black velvet ?kuli cap partially concealed a broad forehead, underneath which . gleamed black eyes, bright tts living coals, and placed i" 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 thc 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 il, 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) Inn 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 bas said nothing to me about a visitor at thin hour of the night." "Ah, ho wished to ?pare you, no doubt, a difagrccuble apprehension," tie re turned, advancing and taking a seat on ?lie sofa opposite nie, where for a few moments hu 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 lino physique, madame." Mu 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 mc. I was alone-miles, perhaps away from aid or rescue-with a madman. "Ah," he continued, "your husband may ilnv:, mistaken a tumor for a cancer. Allow mo to feel your pulse, hu said ris ing and bending over me." I thought it best to humor him, re membering it was unwise for a helpless woman to oppose the, us yet, harmless freak of a lunatic. He took out his watch, shook his heud gravely, laid my hand down gently, then went towards tho study, where, on the table, was au ojien case of surgical instruments. "Du not bu alarmed, madame," hu said!, turning 104710 as I was about to riso and lice, and in another ii.slant ho was by my side with thc CIIHO in his posses sion. "Spare inc ! Oh, sparc ma, I beseech !" "Madam," ht: saul sternly, clasping my wrists with his long sinewy lingers with a grip of steel? "you behave like a chiltl. I hove no time to parloy, for I have received n letter from tho Emperor of tho French staling that he is sufleriug from an iliac abscess, und is desirous of my attendance. I must start for Europe immediately after performing the opera tion on your breast," and bet?re I could make the slightest resistance he hud mo in his arms, and was carrying me into tho study, where ibero was a long table with green baize. On this he laid me. and holding me down with one banu with thc strength of a maniac, ho brought forth from some hidden recess in his Sown several leather strings, with which c secured mo to tho table with the skill of an expert. It was but the work of a moment to unloose my robo and bare my bosom. Then, after carefully examining my left breast, hy said : "Madama, your husband has matte n mistake. I find no necessity fur my in tended operation." At ihm i gafo a i?tif drawn nigh of relief, and prepared to riso. "But," ho continued, "I have dis covered that your heart is as large as that of an ox? I will remo vu it so that you may seo for yourself, reduce it to its nat ural airs by a curinu* nroceo? of my own, unknown tb tho medical science, and of which I um tho solo discoverer, and then repUco it again.'-' lie now began to examine the edge of tho cruel knife, on which I closed my eves, whilo every nervo was in percepti ble tremor. "The mechanism of thu heart is like n watch," ho resumed ; "if it goes too fast tho gr?a* blood vessel that supplies the force mu it be stopped like tho lever of a watch, ..and tho works must be cleaned and ropaircd and regulated. It may in terest you to know that i was present at tho post-mortem examination helli over Ibu remains of the beautiful Louise of Prussia. Ha*!

Tho King and I had a little difference-he tras a German, I am French. I trust :hnt is sufficient explanation." He now bent over me, his long white leard breaming my face, I raised my lyes beseechingly, trying to think of lomo way tussive myself: "Oh, sir, gire RN an amesthetic that I nay not feel the pois," J pleaded. "Indeed, indeed, ?.?adamo, I would :omply. with your wish were you not tho vifo ora physician-of a skilful surgeon, wish you to note with what ease I pcr OTP?

Advice to newspaper Corrcapondenta, Never write with a nen or ink. It ia altogether too plain, ami doesn't hold the mind of editors anti printers closely enough to their work. If you are compelled to use ink, never uso that vulgarity known ns the blotting pad. If you drop a hit of ink on the paper, lick it oft*. Tho intelligent com positor loves nothing so denrly as to reatl 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 tho time, he felt that good. Don't punctuate. We prefer to punc tuate all manuscript acnt us. And don't uso capitals. When we can punctuate and capitalize to suit ourself, and your article, when you see it in print, will as tonish oven if it does not please you. Don't try to write too plainly. It is 11 aign of plebeian origin and public achool breeding. Poor writing ia nn indication of genius. It is about-tho only indica tion of genius that a great many men possess. Scrawl your article with your eyes shut nnd make every word aa illegi ble os vou can. Wo get tho same price for it from thc ragman aa though it were covered with copper plate sentences. Avoid all nama taking with proper names. We know the full name or every man, woman and child in tho United States, ami the merest hint nt the name ia sufficient. For instance, if you write a character something like a drunken fig ure "8," and thou draw n wavy line, wo will know at once that mouus Samuel Morrison, even though you may think you mean "Lemuel Messenger." It is a groat mistake that proper names should he written plainly. Always write on both sides of the paper, and when you have fi Heil both aides of every page, trail a lino up and tiown every page, trail a lino up and down every margin and back to thc top of the first page, closing your article by writing the signature just above thu (lute.

Upon a little reflection it in verv ob vioun, And appears rational aud physio 'wgic?!. thai iu? vigor sud productive nena ol a plant dopend very uiucb upon the perfect maturity and vital condition of the seed from which the plant spring?, and that no manure or fertility of soil can make a weak plant us vigorous and productive as a strong one. This ls true of every plant, from a radish to an oak. Yet bow seldom is this truth regarded. Has it never occurred to iLc planter to a-l: himself why there is so much differ ence in the piaiils of corn iii the same bili, all treated alike? or, why there is such a difference in the vigor of a lol of seedlings of any plant when all are in the same bed or drill, and under the samo conditions? I could slate many facts tending to show that by careful attention to the perfect maturity of seed the pro ductiveness of annual phills can be much increased, and that perennial plants can bo obtained of quicker growth and great er hardiness, bul it does not neem neces sary to do this. Indeed I believe th? "running out" of the new wheats and other plants in a few yearn after their in troduction is caused by the premature gathering of the crop to avoid tho waste of seed ; and yet the plant from one heavy, well-matured grain, would tiller and yield moro at harvest than live shrunken kernels with their pu ny 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 loo much manure in the bill," Ac. On inquiry, I have generally found in such instance*, 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 than t?. the ripeness of grain. One of my neighbor?, however follows til?! practice of his grandfather, and selects for seed only the ears which have limber buts to thc cobs or ears, though tho cars 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 the 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 unfathered until the grain is per fectly ripe, even if some ?hook 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.- Uro.

All seemed lair and promising, for she did not know that her husband was a drunkard. But JUC night he caine home at a very late hour and much the worse for liquor. When ho staggered into the house, the wife, who was greutly shocked, told him ho was sick, und to lie down at once ; iud, in a moment or two, ho was comfort illly settled o*? the sofa in a drunken deep. His fate was reddish purple, his Breathing was heavy, and altogether ho ?vas a pitiable looking object. The doc :or ?as sent for post-liaste, and mustard ipplled to his feet and hands. When tho iuctor come and felt his pulse, nnd exnm ued him, and found that lie was only Jrunk, he said : "He will be all right in the morning.'' Hut the wife insisted that he was very lick, and that severe remedies must be? ised. "You must shave his head and apply lusters," she urged, ;ior I will send for ome one who will." The husband's head was accordingly ha ved closely and blisters applied. The laticnt !sv all nicht in a drunken sisen. , md, notwithstanding tho blisters were luting into his-flesh, it was not till near norning tha? ho bogan to beat about dis urbed by pain. About daylight ho waked up to a most ineonifortauio conciousness of blistered igonies. ,:What does this mean," bewa'd, put ing his hand to his bandaged head. "Lie still you musn't stir," said the vifo, "you have been very sick." "I'm not sick." "Oh, yes you are ; you have brain ever. We have been working with you ill night." "I should think you had," groaned tho >oor victim. "What's tho matter with ny foot." "They aro blistered." "Well, I'm better now ; take off the .listers, do," he pleaded piteously. Ho was in n most uncomfortable state -his head covered with sores, and his sot and hands were still worse. "Dear," he suitl, groaning, "if I should ver get sick iii this way again, don't bo tanned and send for the doctor, and hove all, don't blister me uguiu." "Oh, indeed I will-all that saved you cero the blisters, and if you ever should ave another such spell, I should be moro Tightened than ever-for the tendency I m sure is to appoplexy, and from the ext attack you w;ll bo likely to die oleas there were tho severest measures sed." He mad? uo further defense ; suffice it 0 say he never had another attack. Domestic Ruin.

Somotimes it is tho man himself bat paves tbs way for the sheriff, but uito often it bis family. A case in oint as to the latter occurred uot very mg seo. A New Yorker happened to ?eot, down town, an acquaintance from neighboring city and dropped into con erse''on with him. After a few casual tuna rsa the New Yorker asked about his riond's family, expressing a hopo that hey were well. "Oh, I suppose they are," said Mc. J., ather indifferently.

Several persons asked to look at the note, which waa 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 linKS?" asked une of the group. "Well, dere am sev'rul reasons," slow ly renlicd Mr. Gardner.

All de preparushuns we ha? made dis fur is to borrow six char's an' a spittoon, an' Ita got to sacrifice dis note to get de baker's bread an herrings." A BJIAVE CA ITA IN.-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 fire, produced no appreciable effect. Gal lopping to thc battery he asked : "What idiot is iii charge here?" "I, sir." answered the officer, "Then down you go io the rani's this very day," said Paskievitcli. "j ou don't uegir. to know your trade ; your .hells do not explode." "I know they don't," answered the captain; "for the best of all reasons that they can't explode." "That's a lie," said the prince. "Is it? See for yourself, then," ro plied the officer, coolly picking up a shell from tho pile and lighting the fuse, and holding it up between himself and the marshal. The marshal tranquilly crossed his arms and watched tilt 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 nway to another point of the line; but at night the cap tain received at his tent the cross of St. Vladmirfor bravery in the field. Tm: TIMK TO KAT FUUIT.-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 ripo acidity, but if Kweetened with sugar, the acidity is not only neutralized, but thc stomach is tempted to receive more than it can digest, and if cream is taken with them, tho labor of digestion is in creased. No liquid of any description should bc drank within an hour after eating fruits ; nor should anything else be eaten within two or three hours-thus, time being allowed for them to pass out of tho 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, ii: 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 ,?_t;_i .f ,i_"_:_i_- i_ bil. ?
