I Now it came to pass that in the third j ar of tho reign of Catharine, Queen the Earth, I befcamd acquainted with , larley. Charley was the brother of Catharine, d was a good-Ieoking, solid, respecta- ( ekind of a fellow, with square shoul- , rs, ruddy face, blonde beard, and a ( 11 blue eye, whoso glance fell upon . iu liko a shaft. In all his social and isiness relations he was an eminently , rrect young man, against whom the ] ircBt of mistakes or failures could be ( ged. This combined with tho fact } at ho was Catharine's brother, was e reason for the deep and undying ha- , id which I bore him?a hatred which r a long time seemed capable of being ^ peased only by gore. , In the first place, he was always ? inctual. The unfailing regularity j th which he every morning appeared ( his desk in the pork house (he was j innger in the establishment) was only j ualed by the exceeding precision with th which he discharged the minutest , tails of his daily appointments. Now | im fond of the morning hour for sleep, pself, and h-^e a theory that one 11 live longer . he employ it in sleep. | lerefore I pity a man who will continusly peril his health as Charlej does. | Tr? n novf nlann a nrna aIwavd tnn_ ... t"-uvl - ""J" ",v-~ odical. He was never known to vary >ra his established daily routino of isiness, any more than a responsible >ck is observed to deviate from its atstomed method of beating seconds, sing disposed, myself, to think that all well that ends welt, I can feel nothing it contempt for a man who is such a # jre machine. In the next place he was stable and rmanent. He had at once decided ion his line of life, and had never afp wavered in it. He had been twelve ors in the establishment of which he is manager, and which ho had 6rst enred in the capacity of fourth bookeper when he was yet a mere lad. I mj'self, having tried in turn a half- 1 zon different occupations, nil of hich proved uncongenial, am by nare indeadly feud with the man who s )no spice in his lifo. (Though I ve often suspected that it was my own ke which was dough.) And then again, he was contented at >me. Ho had repeatedly received "the ndest invitations to join parties tour5 in Kurope, to Cuba, to California, or the National Park; but, although undantly able to travel, he always dened these propositions, saying that he uld not spare the time from business. Now I am passionately fond of travel, ange and excitement, and have visited )st of the leading places of interest to urists?although myself a poor man. I have no patience with an unambiins stay-at-home. i When I add to nil these things the 3gusting prosperity of the man; his ' erlastingly-increasing salary?I have id enough to explain to any rational 1 ind the ill will I bore for Charley. 1 But that which first fanned the slumring fires of my wrath and well-nigh " used me to imbrue my hands in the art's-blood of a fellow-being, hapned in this wise. I had just roturned >m a year's residence in California (and | as searching for employment,) when, i a matter of course, V called upon i itharine. For Catharine is long-sufring and kind, and - so I am alw^gs i ivileged to call upon her. As I entered i e drawing room, Catharine extended ir hand to me, and permitted me to sate the tips of her fingers. (I often < ondered whether, if I had $50,000, she ould not?but no matter !) Then I t down, and proposed to tell her all i iout my experiences in the West, itharine listened politely for a time? ie is the politest person !?and then n*.ly told me that she did not care to tar about my Western life. An awknrd pause ensued, and at length Cathine remarked : "Did I ever tell you the offer Charley had, to go in charge an excursion to Colifornia ?" I remarked that she never had. "Yes : he could have gono for nothg, and have remained a month. The m wished him to go, and told him he jeded rest. But he would not go. barley is such a hand toftay at home id stick to business " I pleasantly changed the topic, and ?jran to speak of some of the young dy acquaintances I had met since my turn, remarking how glad they aeem> 1 to see mu. "Did you seo Hattie Coswell ?" asked atari ne. "Oh ! yea ; and she?'' ''They say that she isN quite wollIcased with Charley. But Charley is general favorite with the ladies, altough I believe he hardly understands by they flock about him so?or pertps, indeed, never suspect that they do t all." Be has no heart, perhaps, said 1, imewhtt acridly. "Indeed sir, you quite mistake t I m very sure he has a heart, and a many one at that. I think he will paj lit tie attention to tho ladies until he has ittaincd his station in lifc, and made a boroo for himself; then, I think, he will not make much stir about it, but frill just get married." Catharine sighed a little sigh, which she changed at once. I changed the subject. I talked of my business plans. 5ho listened for a time, and then said suddenly, as if she had just though of t: "Charley never talks of business to ii? women, although he manages tho business of'the whole family. Ho thinks' the men ought to attend to tho business." ("May the foul fiend fly away with Charley!" thought I.") * - , I gnyly fell upon another theme, and isked Catharine to admire my new coat. 'Yes; it is very pretty," said she. rhen, after a moment, *'I do think JCharley has the fewest suits, to look so well is he does. But then he is economical in everything. He will make a pood husband, Charley will!" I resolved for the twentieth time, to murder Charley, and soon after excuscd myself and retired. It was not long after this I fell dangerously ill, being confined to my bed for some weeks. My condition beci -to 10 alarming that I was visited and contantly attended by Catharine, who proved herself a most deyoted and efficient nurse, so that, (although during my :on valesconco I remerab?r once to have tieard her murmur to herself that ini i -A it.\ T ? ? t -? ?* uiisriv; was ?u aiuiig v) i couiu not jn the whole find any fault with her ministrations. Indeed, I am inclined to think that my sickness was a dispensation of Providence, for during tho days jf my slow recovery I had ample time to review my life, and review it I did. A.nd a very poor and miserable kind of life I found it, with no purpose and no tuccess at all attached to it. It 'was not the kind of a life which I admired, though singularly enough I had not thought of that before, and probably never would have done so had it not been for that convenient Charley. And then and there I resolved to reform, to make the most of myself^and go steadily to work with a purpose. When I grew better I called upon Catharine again. I took her whole hand in mine and told her that t had been a fool?and that I loved her. I told her that I was going West again, but that I kvas going to stick to my business and make a home?and that I loved her ijuue soon alter that .1 rose to go. Catharine rose also. She leaned toward me quite imperceptibly, and *11 at once 1 saw that, if I wished, it might all be is it was five years before. With the greatest struggle of my life. I saluted jnly the tips of her fingers, and said to tier : "Catherine, my dear girl, I am not rrorthy to touch your lips now. When 1 come back I will be, and then I will kiss them." From the other side of my shoulder Catharine sobbed : "I am q'quito sure that Ch-Charley would, ri-right now !" "God bless you, Charley 1" thought I. ?E. Hough, in Chicago Current. Proverbs of Sam Jones. The following are soino of tho latest proverbs of tho llev. Sam Jones, whose reputation as a revivalist has rapidly spread over a continent: I would not let my cook go to a german. Dancing is nothing but hugging net to music. "I have donbts," says one. Well you just quit your meanness and you will quit your doubting. If a man hasn't enough re*ligion to pray in his family ho hasn't enough to Bavc his soul with. It's not so much when and where a man joins the church. It's all right just so he sticks up to it. Be honest and pay your debts. There are too many men in church boarding with their wives. Get in the right attitude and faith will come. Bread is the gift of God, at the end of a plough handle. Have religion at home, train your children right and no revival will be needed. Religion is oatching. There is not a man in Chattanooga who dosen't have family prayors that has got as much religion as a goat. Twelve yoars ago I consecrated myself to God, and sinco that timo never had an invitation a ball. A roan's tastos and his likes determine character; a man's affinities deter* mine what he is and who ho is. I got mighty low down, low down in> deed, but I never got low enough to be a member of the Georgia Legislature. Thero wart never * sinner in this town, however hoary-headed, who would want the churches done away with. Do you think a pale, tffeak looking fellow like ine could preach four times a day tho year round if I wasn't upheld by tho grace of God ? In certain places they tell you if you want to gal into society yon most Join oar ohareh, If yoa want to go to hell ~ " V- ' ,<4 join that church. That ib the plain English of it. c If I could have my choice getting in- t to heaven between church, Sunday c Schools, prayer meetings and a good p mother, I would tako the latter and bo t sure of a better homo above. I There are two kinds of talk we should i not indulge?smutty talk and gossip ; of 8 the two, though, I would rather be i smutty. One throws mud on you, the e other stabs your character ; one you can r wash off, the other destroys you. ( A Truthful Tribute. ( There can bo no question of Dr. Fel- 1 ton's ability, eloquence and sincerity. t His recent speech on the convict system, in advocacy of a reformatory bill 1 was full of intellectual force and replete ' with rhetorical fervor. Here is an ex- ( tract from that speech which is one of 1 its noblest passages, because wrung 1 from tho speaker's love of justice : ' And right here let mo give a compli- J inent to Joseph E. Brown. You all I know I am not in the habit of compli- menting Governor Brown, but sir, candor compels mo to do it. Governor Brown?and I have special information from every quarter?manages his camp < at Dade coal min is most admirably, t There you see all tho characteristics of f the christian, humane man. There is no cruelty there unnecessarily. It is ^ clean, it is healthful, he does not forco < them to cruel labor and I, here, to-day, g stand right upon the threshold of a criticism of theso camps and take occasion as a Georgian and as a member of this House most heartily to congratulate Georgia that she has at least one t humane gentleman in charge of a por- ^ tion of her miserable convicts. t It required just such sublime moral courage as Dr. Felton possesses, in an tlinnM ^ ciuiiiuiii ucgict, IU aj/taiv muau nuiuo ui j "truth and soberness" of a great man . with whom he has not always been in 1 accord. And Senator Brown will know ' how to aapprcciate a compliment like that coming from such a distinguished ( and virtuous source. No tnan has, when challenged for the proof, as Mr. Stephens said, on a memorable occasion, ever fastened upon Joseph K. Brown any stain of dishonesty. And Dr. Fel- ' ton is witness of tho highest order that the eminent Senator is as humane as he is fair-minded in dealing with his fel- ' low men, high or low.?Augusta Chroi.i-.le. > A Circus in n Gale. < Yesterday afternoon's performances 1 of Robinson's circus had got well under 1 way. the baas trombone player in the ' main tent was swallowing yard stick after yard stick of bass tubing, the bass drummer was pounding sheol out of the big drum and the ladies on the trapeze were turning '.homselves inside out in the midst of the arms and feet of their male fellow acrobats, the five hundred pound fat woman was showing off before numerous admirers, th j living skeleton was flirting with the tattooed woman from Circassa (New York.) the real Zulu chief was sadly dreaming of hunting the antelope in his native wilds (Jersey City) and the great crowds' aggregating perhaps 4,000 people, were taken in all the beauties of the various attractions, when a tornado scooped down on the big tents "like the wolf on the 1 fold," only "its cohorts" were not 1 ^gleaming in purplo and gold,' but i blinding, suffocating clouds of akali 1 dust < The great canvass roof began belly- * ing, then it rent in a dozen places, tho ' side flaps went to pieces, the dust made * visions almost impossible and the tent < poles began a witch's dance that threat- < ened to brain a dozen people. Even 1 then the crowd were loth to go. Fifty 1 cents apiece meant something and they wanted their money's worth. Finally, > as the blast increased and the tents threatened to go to pieces, the crowd 1 started and the circus men and the po- ' lice got all outside with no one hurt, but the women lost thoir broad-brimmed : hats that had shut out the view of the 1 ring from many a man seated behind ' them, children clung to their mothers, sisters, cousins and aunts, too frighten- i ed to cry; men cither women folks after them or shielded their eyes with their arms from the blinding dust, which drove into everything and filled every woman's hair chock run ana brought out in basroleif every stain and grease spot on many a black diagonal coat. But there was a circus all by itself in the menagerie. As the dunt storm blew in the tent sides, the . refreshment man made a wild dive for his antiquated gingerbread cake, buns and bottles of soda pop which had weathered many a similar gale, and got theiu safely in his chost beforo the boys about tumbled to tho racket Then the notting enclosing tho two ostriches (emus) blew over, letting tho bicds out into arena, where they ran frantically about, with a dozen c*rcus attaches and a Rocky Mountain Neu>* reporter in full tilt after them. Jit required the might of eight men and the reporter to capture the birds, who struggled valiantly for freedom. The two birds wore atraitway put into their cage and attention was at once turned to the elephants, who were trumpeting wild itad threatening to break Ipoae. .HiU&MHHHKlH&KraMi wf These gentle creatures were run outside and pacified and the cages conainingthe wilder animals were then :losed, the intense rage of the occu>ants, whose howlings added greatly to he charms of the scene. The laughing lyenas turned innumerable somersaults n trying to get loose and their hoarse, ihnrp bark, added to the heart-broken vails of tho kangaroo and the cow with teven legs, the shrieks of the smaller inimals and cries of the dwarfs and the Circassian girl, who had lost her wig altogether, with the rushing of the dust :louds and roar of the flapping canvas, nade a scene that will not soon be forgotten. All that was wanting seemed to be a -ealizatioo of James Gordan Bennett's ittle gag in making out a false stampede >f wild animals in the Central Park ivhen lots of children were out there for in airing, which caused Thomas Nast ,o picture him in Harper's Weekly as laying: "Now, boys, let the animals oose in Central Park and that'll raise r?? Finally, after a twenty-minute blow, .lie wind died out, when the brass band :rawled from a neighboring ice-house to .heir cage in the big tent and the dulcet itrains of "Don't vou eo. Tommy, don't ;o," got the crowd back into tho partly lemolishcd tent and the show went jrandly on to completion. ;Bavarta'fi Royal Crank. Vienna, June 30.?Mme Walter, tho ragedienne, has returned from Munich, vhero she played before the King in 'Narcissus," and received a splendid liamond broach as a token of his apprenation. But this present was one of ittle value, comparatively, and does not ndicate great favoritism, although a right oyal gift. A few weeks ago he gave VIme Matten, the singer, a brace let of smerals and diamonds of almost priceless raluc, although she had sung before him >nly once in two years. He is as fond as >vpr 01 having his theatre and his acting ill to himself, and Sardou's 'Theodora" pleased him so much that he expressed ;he wish to see it a second time, but he tvould not consent to give up another :>iece, which had been prepared When :hc directors complained that the actors :ould not play from early evening until tunrise next morning, he was piqued, ind did not come to the theatre at all, so :he actors left Munich without having tgain seen the royal visage. The King las offended several diplomats by refusng to let thein attend these private (^presentations. The sums which the King spends upon this hobby are really jxtravagant, be easily credited by those vho have seen "Theodora" played at Paris. The splendid scenery was jrought from France in a special train, inu accessories were an as oeautliui is they are at Sarah's Parisian epresoniations, and all this for one tingle performance before a single tuditor. The King is now busy superintending hu building and furnishing of three iplendid castles?the one on the Chiemsce. Schwanstein, and one in Tyrol irhich has just been begun. It is to be 'eared that these palatial residences will lot last long, their dimensions being so ^rcatthat to keep them up in suitable jtylo would devour twice tin? King's iniomo. But King Louix' financinl difficulties do not torment him, and ullhough he has been repeatedly told that ho is terribly indebted, he still has tho sand of his grave walks mixed with gold dust, and the dreams of his extrayngar.t fancy are realized by thousands of busy bands as soon as they are conceived. A remarkabio contrast to King Louis is his cousin Duk* Charles Theodore of Bavaria, who has just left Meran, where be spent four months with bis family, to return to his delighful castle on the Tegern Lake in Bavaria. After harm/ practiced medicine fur over twenty years the Duke has now become one of the most successful oculists in Gormany or Austria. At all hours, day and night, he admits the poor to his study and in urgent cases ho visits his patient's bedside. Ht operated on 152 blind persons in Meran and tho neighborhood successfully, and visited all the sick far and wide. The population in those parts hold him in iripersticious reverence, and begin to believe that the touch of his hand alone can heal them. In Togerusce I have scan him drive over solitary roads and through dark forests in tho middteof the night to relieve a sufferer in a distant cottage. After relieving and comforting his patients, he returns home to have the medioines made up in his chemist's shop, and sends his ooaehman back with them. The people's eyes light up when his name is mentioned. How seriously the Duke sppiies himself to tho task of relieving mankind of its suffering is proved by the faet that he spent the last two winters at Vienna in attending the lectnrcs of the moot re-, nowned professors of the Vienna University, where he regnlarly drove Dp to tne,door evory morning si# s?d wit among the students, and afterward* witnessed the operations in the Ixupital and the prfessers'woriin thex natotny rooms. He has a family of fonr daughters, one by his first wife, a Saxon Prince; another by hissecond wife, Princess Maria of Uruguay, a cousin of the Emperor of Brazil, K Beft>' do Wa\ Thomas M.

A correspondent of the Western Ploioinnn writes : N To feed oats in the sheaf is the most expensive way they can be fed, and one that the stock will receive the smallest amount of benefit from the same amount of feed. There is so much waste in this way of feeding that it cannot under any circumstances be recommended. When fed in this way stock will eat what they can get at of the heads readily, and trample tho remainder under their feet. Oats, to make the best feed, shoald be cut before they are ripe, as the straw ia much more nutritious than when the oats are allowed to become dead ripe before they are harvested. Care should also bo taken to see that they are thoroughly dried before mowing away or stacking, as they heat and mould very easily stored away in large piles boforo they are thoroughly dried out. Tho most economical plan of feeding is to take a good cutting box and cut the oats up fine, heads and all. By mixing up thoroughly, stock will eat them all up clean and there is no wasta at all. And stock fed upon them in this way will keep in the very best condition. A little improvement can bo made that stock will relish them a littlo better, is to mix a small quantity of bran with the cut oats wet with water and then feed. This gives a cheap, economical feed equal for all purposes, to almost anything else that can be selected. Teams that are kept hard at work, nithor nn tho firm or on the road, will stand work better if fed upon good, clean thretihed oats and timothy hay than almost any thing else; yet there are sevoral foods that are oheaper.
