Watches.
In recent editorial in the Prairie du
Chien Courier, in regard to the State Fair
held at Madison, Wis, is the following com.
pliment to Mr.. Giles of the City Jewelry
Store:
In the Fine Art Gallery our townsman
Giles made the principal attraction, with a
splendid case Of American Watches, that
was perhaps never excellcd by any exhibi.
ton Of the kind in the country. Our friend
Giles. we suppose, sells more of this class
Of goods, Notwithstanding his modest pre-
tensions, than any other dealer in the State.
The great whittier, Muir, with his Jack
knife clocks, is now resident of Prairie
du Chicn, and one of his chef daurres may
be seen in operation at the store of Mr..
Giles"
1t will be remembered that Giles took the
first premium at the State Fair, (Wis,) at
the Farmersburgh fair of this county, and
the county Fair held at Prairie du Chen.
We will also state for the benefit of those
having sick watches that Mr.. Giles took a
premium for the best job Of watch making,
at the late CraN ford co. Fair. -

Poultry.
AS the season of the year for poultry is
coming, we copy as follows from the New
England Farmer. Country people cannot
tell what difference it will make to them
in the price Of poultry to have it neatly
prepared for market Besides this, the
farmer and his wife who bring nice poultry
to market or nice butter, always are treated
with extra regard by every one when they
may offer their produce for sale. A sloven-
ly.got-up roll Of butter or ,coolly pair of
fowls offered for sale by pretty girl has
doubtless been the cause of neglect on
the part of a young mechanic or merchant
who might otherwise have proposed for a
wife. Girls, do not let want of neatness
in household duties cause you to want a
husband. Be nice and neat as you all know
how to be and we pledge the influence of
the Times to assist you in every way to
reach that goal of woman's heart, A HONE ::
1--WE have often noticed the careless and
SioSSiuN uidiiueI, duu tuc llLttc NllCUtlOu
paid to the external appearance of poultry
offered for sale in our markets; and we
have likewise noticed the ready sale and
higher prices where due regard was paid to
having the skins all sound and clean; the
breast not mutilated by long cut, the
shrinking skin exposing the drying meat
covered over with hay seed or chaff; but
well covered over with fat Of rich golden
yellow. Much Of the poultry exposed for
sale has been through the process of scald-
ing to facilitate the picking-this practice
should never be resorted to. 1t turns the
rich yellow of the fat into tallowy hue,
and oftentimes the skin SO that it pecls of,
unless very carefully handled. No cut
should be made in the breast; all the offal
should be taken out behind, and the open
ing should be as small as possible; the in
side should be wiped out with dry cloth,
but no water should be used to cleanse
them. With a moist cloth take off the
blood that may be found upon the carcass.
In picking, great care should be taken not
to tear the skin; the wings should not be
cut of, but picked to the end; the skin of
the neck should be neatly tied over it, if the
head is cut off. Most people like to see the
heads of fowls left ont makes better
show. The heads of ducks and geese
should not be cut Off"

Getting Married.
There is nothing in life so important as
getting married and yet it is rare that you
see two persons who have recently expert
enced that delightful transmutation which
tiguratively turns ".wo into one" without
noticing sort Of sheepish sortncss, kind
of calflike stare, as though they were
ashamed of each other or that their interior
satisfaction was so immense that they had
no mind for any subject outside the new
kingdom which they had fallen heir to-
Our editorial window is opposite to, and on
a level with, the balcony of the American
Hotel and it is frequently our luck to notice
on that balcony couple Of human curio-
sites who have fled from either an eastern
or western locality to enjoy the few first
days Of excitement in the hope perhaps
that their fondling would be less noticed
by strangers than by their acquaintances !;
or, what is quite as probable, to escape that
internal din Of chararairl-(sh (shirarer, the
Americans call IT'D which puts any quiet
man out all patience with his race. We
often have the luxury of witnessing these
delicate attentions which married folks will
pay to each other, for the first few days at
least, and it is not uncommon for us to
moralze at length, mentally, on the curiosi-
ties of this pairing off influence. We dare
not say much about it i'll the paper because
it is seldom we allude to any subject having
a bearing on the intimacies of the sexes at
ALL One thing we venture to state, and
that is that the ladies', when first married,
are invariably the most sensible; they
enter into the subject as though they were
born for it, (and so they are, for woman
without house is miserable and that only
a business arrangement had been consum-
mated; but the man appears as though
he had gone daft and in nine cases out
Of ten he looks as if he was not sure
whether he was entitled to a hat or bonnet,
so completely has he been Transformed
This getting married is wonderful altera-
tive Of the social habits Of men.

that is of great length and, aside from the

LITTLE ADDIE AND CHARLEY.


Come hither, dear ones, come to me,
And sit close by my side,
You my treasures tho but three,
My all of JOY, my pride.
Come bring thy sisters, Charley dear,
I've something for you all,
Come quickly, for long to hear,
Their patterihg footsteps fall.
Oh, here comes one "where hast thou been,
Thou little toddIing thing,
Why does thy bfother not come In,
And Addie quickly bring,'
I start-wbat have said, ah, mel
That this must be my lot,
Oh, why could so thoughtless be.
Yet, an I've not forgot!
vision came, like as a dream,
I heard them At their play
1t did so bright, so heavenly seem,
Why did It pass away,
dreamed saw them all, my three,
In infant beauty sweet,
And heard their simple childish glee,
And pattering Of soft feet.
Aye, one is here-but where are they,
The Others Of my dream,
While they were here then could say,
Life had golden CLEAN,
They're gone. ah yes. they're mine no more
He took them in His fold,
An angel came soft to my door,
And clasped them in his hold.
He bore them far away, above,
And placed them on Ills breast,
And tho they had home Of love,
They did not truly rest,
But now each little angel voice
Is prattling round His throne,
Oh, should rather not rejoice,
That they had from me gone.
A tiny bud just lent awhile,
Was one, my own pet child,
Fen now see her gentle smile,
And sweet blue eye so mild,
A little angel 's lovely charms,
To US a time given,
lie then received her in His arms,
Safe back again to Heaven!
And then our gentle manly boy,
In home his fathers pride,
And too, my thoughts Of fondest Joy,
With him did cen abide.
cannot think that he has gone,
Oh, tell me is II so.
Say, must wander OH alone,
In this dark world belowi
Yet, have one my life to cheer,
Should I not thankful be,
Will she not claim the love SO dear,
gave to all the three!
Death came and took SO much loved,
Yet, one sweet howret's LEFT,
And tho they're far from me removed,
l am not all bereft.
will then, yes, will thankful be,
And love the JOY now given,
And may live wit h all my three,
In fondest love in Heaven!
