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.

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

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

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

of men, and perhaps, they are right.
AGRIOULTURJ.
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

TREATMENT O MUSLIN ARTICLES.
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.
"To sum it up, six long years of bed
ridden sleiknless, costing $200 per year,
total $1.200-all of this expense was
stopped by three bottles of Hop Bitters
taken by my wife. She has done her
own housework for a year since, with
out the loss of a day, and I want every
bod.y to knov it, for their benefilt."

The Crater of Mile.
We stood on tile brink of the molten
lake. And here the pen falls to convoy
what tile mind falls to comp':ehend E
and describe a scene of fearful, terrible for
sublimity-a vast pit, a thousand feet tt
in circumference, with black walls for
forty fot high, riaing perpendicuairly, u e
and at the bottom a mass of ever-mov
ing, ever-heaving melted lava; now X
crusted over with a thin crust, which
was cooled by the atmosphere, now all<
swelling and bursting through the
crust, throwing up a inass of red hot Am
lava, spouting and boating tun ultously,
now pressing one way, now another,
surging against the sides, to be dashed
back again into the ever-moving mass;
scams opening, showing the lurId mass '
bAneath. Te sight was awfully grand. VIN

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

the crater, whereas tle only portion

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
