A HEROINE.

i Last week, died at Hammersmith. in
England, Mrs. Ross, celebrated for her
beauty and constaney. Having met with
opposition in her engagement with Captain
Charles Ross, she followed him in mems
clothes, when, after such research and IA
tigue as scarce any of her sex could have
undergone, she found him in the woods,
lying for dead, after a skir1nish with the
Indians, and with pOniard wound. Hav-
ing studied surgery in England, she, with
an ardOr and vigilance which only such u
passion could inspire, saved his life by
sucking his wound. the only expedient
which could have effected it at the crisis he
was in, and nursed him, with scarce COW
ering from the sky, for the space Of six
weeks During this time she remained un-
suspected by him, having dyed her skin
with lime and bark, and keeping to mans
habit. still supported by the transport of
hearing his uneeasing aspirations of love
and regret for the dear though, he then
thought, distant object of his SOUL being
charged by him with transmitting to her,
had the captain died, his remains, and the
dying asseYerations of constancy and graft
tude for the unparalleled care and tender
ness Of his nurse, the bearer of them; but
recovering, they moved to Philadelphia,
where, as soon as she had found a clergy
man to join her to him forever, she appear
cd as herself, the priest accompanying her.
They lived for the space of four years in a
fondness almost ideal to the present age Of
corruption, and that could only be inter
ruptcd by her declining health. The ia
tigue she had undergone, and the poison
not properly expelled which she had i'm
bibed from his wound, undermined her
constitution. The knowledge he had of it,
and piercing regret at having been the oc
casion, affecting him still more sensibly,
he died with a broken heart last spring at
Johnstown, in New York. She lived to re-
turn and implOrc forgiveness other family,
whom she had distressed 50 long by their
ignorance of her destiny. She died in con-
of her grief and affection at the
age of twenty-six.

THE BOY PREACHER. An exchange
speaking of this youth, who Is now in Phil.
adelphia, gives the following short biOgra-
ply:
Cramond Kennedy was born in Hadding-
ton-shire, in December, 1912, andis, there
fore, in his eighteenth year. His father
was manufacturers agent, and died when
the boy was four years old. At thirteen
Cramond was bOok-keepcr in Edinburg.-
He arrived in New York in August, 1856,
and entered a ribbon store on Broadway
Here he was to make himself generally u,e-
full at two dollars per week; but in the fall
of 1858, having experienced religion, he de-
parted from the faith of his fathers, pres
byterian.) and was baptized in the North
Ba; tist Church. He first preached in the
same church in March, 1859. Since then
he has declaimed twice 4 week. sometimes
every day of the week. principally in New
Yoik. and from Canada to Georgia. II.
intends to enter Baptist Theological Col
lege in New York State. and to remain il
it three years His success in the pulpit
has been remarkable for youth of his age
although, as far as We have had OppOrtuni-
ty to judge his sermons are rather declam-
ltory in delivery than rational Or strong il |
and more wonderful as Cmana- |
ing from boy than classic as the prOduc
tons of divine. He has exerted himself
II other literary enterprises than sermOni
ing, and expects shortly to publish vol
rme for the support of his widowed moth

SIXTEEN YEARS OLD.

1t is just sixteen years since Professor
Morse put up the first Electric Telegraph
in America. The first piece of news sent
over it was the nomination of James X.
Polk for President; made at Baltimore, and
announced in Washington 1.-TWO hours in
advance of the mail"
No one at that day, probably not even
the Professor himself dreamed how closely
the Electric Wire would be interviewer
with our daily life. Now, railroad trains
are run by electricity. Thieves arc caught
by electricity. Lost children are found by
electricity. Fire bells are rung by electricity.
Watches are set and clocks strike BY cleo
tricity. Armies and fleets sail at its bid
ding. Treaties arc negotiated at its word.
Two friends in remote towns, by its help,
sit down and have a friendly game of chess.
Two EnpcrOrs, thousand miles apart, by
its help, carry on scige of distant city.

Do ANIMALS CONSUME FOoD IL PKOPoR-
TIoN TO THEIR SIzE?-We suppose that
this question will generally receive am af-
hrmative answSr. Mr.. John johnson. of
New York, whose success in fattening stock
has given his opinion on this question equal
authority with his opinion on draining, has
recently written some advice to young
farmer on buyiag and fattening stock.
which answers our question in the negative,
at least 50 far as fatting animals are con-
eerned. He says, in an article published
in the Country Gentteman, that
1T takes No more feed to fat lot of
sheep averaging no or 100 pounds. than
it does the same number averaging only So
to 90 pounds; therefore it is more profta-
bic to feed heavy sheep than light ones
1t takes no more to fat steer that weighs
l,400 pounds, live weight, than it does one
weighing 900 or LOCO pounds, and the
largest VIII always gain the most, with
equal feed, if they are of the same age
Then, when fat, the largest are worth the
most per pound to the butcher; so there Is
a profit, according to their age"
In confirmation Of this opinion, he adds
that he had heard those whom he regarded
as men of practical knowledge, say that all
animals except man. eat according to their
size, and for long time he believed it, but
when he came te feed steers in stalls, some
LOCO pounds some l 800 pounds
and found the largest putting on the most
at and gaining the most weight, which they
would always do, he found that those mems
theories would not stand the testwhen tried
~ practice.

at needle-work, she was able in London to

from her even the avails of her daily labor,
to supply his vile desires. He watched her
with jealous eye and woull not let her

she came. Such, Maggie, was the fate of
your mother, as the wife of a gentleman
tiPpler.
when you was one year old, she died,
and her last parting words still ring in my
cars. As the hour drew nigh when her
plre and gentle soul was to be released
fOm its suffering she asked to sec her
babe; lifted you, little wee GIing, into
Ter arms"
'She pressed you to her heart, OH my
brother (she gasped,) l would take her
With me! But God is good, watch her,
guard her, and as you expect to meet me
III heaven, never let her marry drunkard.
Do you wonder, Maggie, that L have
warned you?'
Il tell you, my child, Herbert FitzalOn
is drunkard.''
Maggie looked up, sObbing, and while
uncle Nat, wiped away the gushing drops
from his own weather beaten checks, she
shifted from the stool upon her knees, and
taking both his hands in hers, promised
him all that he desired.
She is happy wife and mother now, re-
joicing in her escape from fearful doom,
for FitzalOn died one year age of delirium

What if you don't, pussy, it may be true

But what evidence have you, Uncle Nat
did you ever see him drunk?'
Drunk WIIEw-Ew-E,-no,n not what the
world calls drunk. but I've seen him just
as near it as | ever want to. and if my
darling Maggie will be advised by the best
old uncle she ever had in all her born days,
she will just walk home from church next
Sunday with Uncle Nat, and let Mr.. Fitz
Doodle BObbins gang his gate where it
suits him
Maggie Lawton was turning red in the
face, and beginning to feel rather indig-
nant that Uncle Nat should take her to
task for the simple and single act Of walk
ing home from church one Sabbath eve
ming with Mr.. Fitzalton, the young lawyer
who had recently come to town, and who
had BROUGHT letters of introduction and rec
ommendation from their relatives in the
East

face down till it almost touched her GRO

before, she did not know, and was rather
astonished herself than otherwise at the
whole proceedings.
Maggie was not very handsome. but sweet
and pretty; the professional critics said
her hair was to red, though it was exactly
the color in which Page has immortalized
that of his Yenus-her fresh check too,
would take to freckles, and her eyes though
of the romantic color, could not be said to
be blue as violets, nor as the clear sky of
a May mOrning-they were only blush,

THE SMART CLERK AND THE SLOW
CLERK.

We have the pleasure of being acquainted
with both of these young clerks. We sec
them every day. They are to be found in
all parts of that busy region called Down
Town.
Mr.. Slnw IS punctual, plodding, carcfI l
and trustworthy. Hepossesses those quail
ties which. thirty years ago, would have
enabled him, after lifetime of exertiOn,
to achieve a high position in the merchan-
tile world But, in the year 1860, bust
ness makes larger demands of those who
are engaged in it. Business now requires
intellect, spirit, tact, ingenuity, no less.than
honesty. and fidelity.
Mr.. Smart possesses those qualities. He
is not mere plodder. He pays attention
to appearances, as well as realities. He
goes down to the store, locking like gen.
tleman, and he Is one. He learns how to
approach q customer, haw to make himself
agreeable to him, how to display his goods
to advantage, how to meet objections. and
how to adapt himself to various characters.
He succeeds both in selling a long bill of
merchandise, and in producing upon the
mind of the purchaser an impression so
agreeable, that he is sure to come back, the
next season, and buy another. He soon
gets at the real secret of success. He
makes valuable suggestions. He proves
his ability by actually succeeding in any
business entrusted to his management
in short, he is man of intelligence and
energy.
But is Mr.. Smart less honest, less honor
able than Mr.. Slow? We believe not
Leaving principle out of the question, Mr.
Smart is too intelligent man not to know,
or soon discover, that the simple secret of
successful business is to serve your custom
ers better than other people serve them
to give them little more for their money
than they can get elsewhere.
A young man who expects to succeed in
business must not rely on the negative
virtues of not being a rascal. lie must
possess POsitiire qualities. He must have
head on his shoulders with something in it.
He must be quick to perceive and prompt
to decide. He must be man of intellect, !
tact and good manners-nOt
plodding dOlt He must come down to the
store as fresh as daisy, as gay as lark, !
and go through his work like man who
loves it, and means to do it well.

CROPPING OF DAIRY FARMS.

The following extract from the Hand
book Of Dairy HUsJuarlry, by ]. C. Nor
ton, recently published in London, and its
suggestions are worthy of the consideration
of our dairy farmers:
The cropping of the dairy farm has al
ready been considered. We refer to it
again under this section to insist on the
great advantage to large dairy farms of
considerable portion of the land being ara
bic. The ability to maintain cows during
the winter season, when dry or not yielding
milk enough for the maintenance Of the
general dairy management, on roots and
straw instead of hay, and thus to set apart
large portion of the grass for summer
pasture, to its own great advantage and to
the greater prOductiveness of the COWS at
their most productive period, cannot be
overrated. If every 100 acres of grass
land. being at the rate of more than !
acres per eow of whole summer pasture, to-
gether with the aftermath of correspond
ing quality needed for winter hay, viii
maintain herd of 80 dairy COWS, then any
source of winter feeding which viii displace
two-thirds of the hay required, will set free
for pasturage two-thirds of the extent Of
grass land to be mown. lis not too much
to say that by 20 acres under arabic eul-
ture, as much winter food viii be provided
as by 80 acres of grass mOwn. Supposing.
then, these 100 acres to be divided into so
acres pasture and 20 acres arabic, it is@
plain that Of the half of this pasture (40
acres) which ordinarily would fall to be
mown, at least twO-thirds (26 aeres) would
be set free by the winter food STRAW and
green crops yielding by the 20 aces ara
bic, and the stock capable of beng Kept on
the remaining SO acres pasture, as compar-
ed with that on the 100 acres of whole
pasture, depends on the relative summer
produce of SO acres whole grass, and II
acres aftermath, as compared with that o
90 acres of whole pasture, and 80 acres
aftermath. There cannot be a doubt that
the latter, and at the most productive tine
of the year; while the land will, at the
same time, under this plan, be more Ike
ly to increase from year to year in value.
1t thus appears that a larger dairy stock
can be kept upon farm so managed.
while. at the same time, one-half of the ar
able land Rill be yielding its valuable pro-
duee of grain for sale.
