Kaftyre at the Ban. It Is the fortune of every man some time or other in his life to suffer mar.. tyrdom in the ball-room. The methods are various, the results the same. The executioner is of course the of gentler sex. Her name may be Miss Brown. Miss Brown may be the most charming and amiable of creatures. - But, untor tunately, so far as you and other male dancers are concerned, she Is desper ately enamored of Mr. Black. Conse quently, the only individual with whom she cares to dance is the fortunate Mr. Black. You may see her looking at him with radiant face, whispering into his ear, and showing the keenest ap preciation of everything that he says. You may also notice that she allows him to clasp her a little more tightly than is absolutely necessary, and that she leans on him for support more heavily than she is really called on to do. It Is easy to perceive that she would dance with him all night if it were not for the wholesome restraining I niluences of etiquette, even though she may not be absolutely "engaged" to him. When, however, she Is con strained to resign herself to your clutches, her demeanor undergoes a wonderful transtormation. The radI ance vanishes from her countenance, and her manner become frigid, espc8 cailly It you evince the least desire to be friendly and conildentially conversa tIonal with her. She holds you atarms' length, and, probaoly, professes to be weary before site has gone more than twice round the room. . She forgeta that with lucky Mr. Black she is able to keep up from the beginnig to the nd of a long waltz, but you do not, and your humiliation is, therefore, all the more complete. in case you should have some exctise for not thitiking that you are regarded its a bore, she listeins to what you have tosay with I (IS ratint air, and receives your neatest things in grim silence. When you fancy that you have said something smart, she will crush you by rousing herself, as if from a reverie, and saying, evidently it re ference to the law of politeness, "Oh I I beg your pardon, Mr. So-and-So, I be lievcyou said somet,hig; what was it?" You rellect that she will not break her heart if you rerrain from telling her what It was, and you are right. But, her behavior Is very liard oit you for to have to tell a Joke twice over Is very much like explaining a polut of a wit ticlsm ont wihich you partlicilarly pride yourself. ILVing eseal)ed from the lantds of Miss Brown, you may possible be hand ed over to the tender mercles of Miss Green. Now Miss Green prides her self upon the strength of her character and the power of her mind. Site woti have youi believe that site has a soul above the conventlottal twaddle of tihe drawng-room, and is able to talk to itmetn ont their pet sulbjecLs. So 11sh will ask your oplitlon of metaphly.41cal 1111( philosophical works of wichell you may not even have heard the name-1, and arclt her oyebrows it diNdain as yot ilountder about in a qumagmiire of dtitfi culty and Indiente your ownt Iiack of information. If you venture to pay13 her a comnplintmnt sihe will frown, but if you ask hter what, are hter dily3 aumuse mentts site will smile, fotr she ten will be able to declare that, shte loves read ing Germant and Greek, or tackling the thteory of evolutlin as pronounced by 11er bert Spentcer. Untdetr proper treat meitt site will lead you to unider'stanmd that she Is ashaimed of the frivolity antd emplty-hteadedness disp)layedC by thte tmjority' of her sex, anid deeply feels the st,igma which is uindeservedly cast upon htersel f it contsequtence ol' thteir misdeeds. Tlhe results of y'outr e fiort,s to etntertaini her is, nin itimesc out of ten, that you atre im idie to feel exceedi ingly small. Bitt, perhaps, thte greatest trial wvhilh one htas Loendure is M iss LackadaisIcal. Site is of a senttimnental tutrnt of mtlind, and tiniks of little except, sweethearts. $he is ready to dance t c ugh anl eve ning, almost withouL a break, regard. less of the ntching of her p)artniers antd thte sweat upon hier partniers' brows. She nevetr dreams thaL she is heavy'. She certalinly' does her best to be antia ble. You may tell hter It.at the nmoon is tmade of greent cheese, and shte will not, contratdiet, you. Inrdeed, site wvil1 smile andl ntod he'r htead, as site might, be exp)ecd to do if you were retailinag gosp)el truth. lBut, while' site is ready to entdorse everything which you have to si,y, she htas very little to talkc about on her ownt account. After supper it is trite, site may aL,temt, to rafly you about your 11irtations. Bunt, tete is notLmneth "go'' lut her chtaif, attd youi have an ittpiressiont that alte would-bc gladl 1f you would nmake love to her. SYou have ani idea that, she could upjont very slight p)rovocation, consat tute htet sell the victim of ant unreqitedi at,tatch ment. Whten you begin ojperatiotns, so far as site ia coneerneod, youtittay feel amiable and be full of sp)irits. IM t. somehtowv or othier, she "dries yot iup.'' At the3 end( of the dIrat fIgure of the quadrille, htavinig exhiaustedi the weatht or, the commtion alfection for danceing, and such inspiring tolesc, y'ou come to a stop amid wonder wh'lat ut the tnme of good~ness you tare to say next. You bei to think that after aill, you are the greater uortion of' a fool, anid are demonstrating the melancholy faict to youtr partner. lBut you nteed not hui miliate yourself. She Is prepared to jbe very miercifuli. She dloes not, mtin( long pauses. No suispietoit that site is a simpleton becatise site fails to supply you wvith matter for contversatlon (lawns on her mtind. Shte Is content to stand placidly while hter arm is in youars. It would appear' as if she had said to her self, "if lie speaks, wvell and good--if lie does not speak, well and good also; there is really not so much in conver sation as seime peCople appear to imagine. js But, unfortunately, you are niot lIke her, anid are so selfeonseioius tat in your misery you washt you were at htome.

TuE NEEBRITY OF OARE IN FARMING. -The necessity for agricultural editors to give earnest advice and counsel about the better care of houses, fences, tools, stock and land Is imperative. Impress upon all the Importance of studying more, and of doing everything scien tifically and systematically. The oul tivatlon of broad acres and tle sale of the gross crops without condensation is ceasing to be a paying business, and the one who canl expect to win must expect to do it by better cultivation, by a wiser care of the productiveness of his.farm, by a nore economical use of the products of his Industry, and by better care of the domestic animals. Tite farmer must stay inore at home, and by his own voice domesticate his stock, and by his hands aid in prepar ing so they will more profitably asslin Iiate their food. The farmer inust make his farn his paradise, and the presence of his stock and his family his principal delight. Our people are not domestic enough-too Inuch going abroad for the comforts and enjoynents of life which should be found in a well-fur nished house, a lovely lawn, a well arranged farm and buildings, and a goodly lot of domestic antimals who love their owner's presence. There is an immense work to be done to educate farmers to thu true principles of farm ing. There is need of not only edi torial but Governmental aid. Precept and demonstration itust be brought to bear to Induce the people to ornament their homes by setting out evergreens, planting and cultivating fruits and flowers, ornamenting their lawns, and inproving and more thoroughly do inesticating their animals and birds. They should Instil luto their children a more abiding love of home by making it more lovely. They nust be taught the importance of making every footof their ground more productive, and of using that produce so as to yield the largest returns with the least propor tloid ontliy. The home and farm should be to his heart, and the heart of his fatmily the greenest and sweetest spo on earth, around which thelv af rections should cluster, and be the dea-rest place of enjoyment for leisure hours. Tim VAi.umE o 6tA.I. TINos.-We liavo often spoken of the convenience anild value of a small1I tool hous, which should be found upon the premiIses of every farner, In which on rainy days, or part, of a day, when there Is nothing particilir on hand to go at, imliplemelits ai inaclihiery out of repair may he mended and muade ready for use.

In washing muslin dresses, the colors I may be prevented from running by a pursuing the following course: Take e out all the gathers at the top of the r sleeves and the waist, wash the dress I quickly in not too warm water, rinse i It Immediately, roll it smoothly In a p dry sheet, and let it remain till Just i damp enough to iron. Another pro- m cess for washing fine muslin of deli- i cate colors, is to take some wheat bran 1 -about two quarts for a lady's dress- a and boil it for half an hour in some a soft water, then allow It to cool, strain r the liquid, and use it as a substitute for f soap s'uds. It removes the dirt from the material like soap, Is inert in regard to the colors, and requires to be rinsed out in only one clean water, and starching is unnecessary. This may be regarded as the best method, on the whole, of washing fine muslins and also calicoes. A great number of beau- 0 tiful dresses are, fron titne to time, spoiled in washing, by the discharge of their colors, from the use of warmI suds. In all eases, the suds and rin sing water for colored articles of dress should be used as cold as possible. The bran, used as above, should be nice and clean, and a bright fair day, is better for the operation. Sor SoAr.-Most of the saponiflers 8 and concentrated lyes for making soap r have their own directions on the box. a Here are two receipts: To 1 pound of t the saponiller add 8 gallons of rain or n soft water; set it boiling, and then put t in 4 pounds of soap-fat or tallow. When C the solution Is clear and the fat all I combined, whivh is seen by the disap- 8 pearance of all fatty.eyes of spots on e the liqui(l, add 4 gallons of soft or rain C water. When cold, your soap is ready for use. Take twelve pounds of stoite fpotash, twelve pounds of clean grease. at Put the potaslt In a piece of old carpet g aind crush it with the back of a hatchet iuto pieces the size of an egg; put it in < a large iron kettle with a gallon or more of water. When dissolved add v the grease, and when thoroughly melt- i ed pour it into tle soap barrel; 1ll upii with hot water and stir well for a day a or two, occasionally. The nieat used ti inl a fainily of six or eight usually sup plies sufficlent grease to make all the soft soap required. Profit, 81,200.

Te sight was awfully grand. VIN mic, 'The nilnd,was forced back on itself, and for probably none of tile party that stood 06 and gazed and wondered, but felt con strained to compare the terrible sight before us with that lake whose fire burneth forever and ever. There has evidently been a very great change in i the whole character and appearance of this cratwr since it was visited by Mr. V( Stewart in 1825. Its action must have been, then, much more general and ex tended throughout the whole floor of the crater, whereas tle only portion now active is the sinall lake In the south-western part. Tihere Is settne tilng strangely fascinating in lingering near this mighty display of creative p)wer, and inany persoins e;pose them ielves to danger in the excitement of procuring good points for a vie w, or spt c'nieis as nicetitoes of tile visit; and soine of our party who socined a little timid in approaching it, were the last who care I to leave. We were much surprised to find or see a inas of lava, like all island, in the molten lake. It may have beci thrown up by the action of the volcano--or it may be a mass detached from the si.le of the clit and fallen in. It forms quite a striking feature of tile lake, and the question of how it withstands the action of the molten inas that washes its base At is a interesting one. -At our right a was a steam escape which, at short Intervals, militted a loud, protracted 0Dtl blast, like a high pressure steamboat. . o A new pinstic conposition has been in vented in London, formed of clean washed river sald, blue Has lime, and ! comnmon cement in about equal propor tions. This composition is moulded in to the forni of bricks or slaba, and, ,lan without firing, it dries quickly and re-m, sists tile actiou of the atmosphere. - 'My Tormnti-d Batck.''
