FANNY FERN AND Mrs. Stowe FORTY YEARS
AGO.-Sara Willis Fanny FERN WAS educated
at Hrtford, in the far, famed seminary of Miss
Catherine Bcecher At that time, Harriet
Beecher Mrs. StOwe) was teacher in this
school She was amiable and endearing in her
ways, and was recognised as decidedly cieveF
young lady, with vein ofqulet humOr, sleepy
sort of wit, that woke up and flashed out when
least expected, but of careless, impractical
turn of mind. She was not thought by any
means the equal In mental power and weight to
hereder sister, whose character was full Of man
ly energy, who was clear thinker, and an ex-
cellent theOlOgian, good, great, high-hearted
woman, with a strong will and remarkable exc
cutive abilities. OF all his children, DIR. Beech
er is said to have most highly respected Cath
arne. Sara Willis must here have laid an ex-
cellent foundation for successful authorship,
though probably nothing was further from h-r
thoughts at the time than such a profession.
1t would have seemed too quiet and thought
compelling career for her, with her heart as
full Of frolic as lark 5 breast is of singing.
There are yet traditions in that staid old town
of Hartford, of her merry school girl escapades,
her " tricks and her manners, that drew forth
as hearty laughter as the witty sallies, humOr-
Gus fancles and sharp strokes OF satire that give
to her writings their peculiar sparkle and dash.
If she grapped with the exact sciences it is not
probable that they suffered much in the encoun-
ter. For geometry she is said to have had an
especial and inveterate dislike. Indeed her
teacher, Mrs. Stowe, still tells story Of her
having torn out the leaves Of Euclid to curl
her hair with. So she laid herself down to
mathematical dreams, her fair head brstling
with acute angles, in porallelogrammatic and
paralelopipedonic papillotes-in short, with
more geometry outside than n.-Grace Green

TRAINING Every athlete has some peculiar
kink which he considers is the best way to getin-
to condition.. Some are brought down by
composition powder sweats; others by pur
ging salts and hard work. and then build up
again to the proper strength. Now the end to
be gained is to reduce fat and make muscle.
In the first place, composition powder rem
ders the patient liable to severe colds Therefore
the safest system Is thorough purgation by
salts. Then comes the grandest work of the
trainer the building" up ofthe man. This is
done by the food he eats, tempered with exer-
else. BY exercise the portions of the food
which are not nutritious are thrown off by eve
ry breath and through every pore. Food is di.
divided into three classes
First-Carbonates that class which sup
plies the lungs with fuel, and thus furnishes
heat to the Sytem, and supplies fat or adipoSe
substances.
Second-Nitrates: that class which supplies
the wastd of muscle.
Phosphates: that class which sup
plies the bones, the brains, and the nerves,
and gives vital power, both muscular md men

MAN AND WOMAN I should not say, from
my experience of nay own sex, that woman's
nature is flexible and impressible, though her
feelings are. know very few instances of
very inferior man ruling the mind of superior
woman; whereas | know twenty-itly-of a
very inferior woman ruling superior man.
IF he love her, the chances are that she will in
the end weaken and demoraliza him If supe-
rior woman marry a vulgar or inferior man, he
makes her miserable, but seldom governs her
mind, or vulgarizes her nature, and if there be
love on his side, the chances are that in the
end she will elevate and refine him. The most
dangerous man to woman is a man of high
intellectual endowments morally perverted for
in woman nature there is such necessity to
approve where she admireS, and to believe
where she loves-a devotion compounded of
love aud faith is SO much part of her being
that while the instincts remain true and the
feelings uncorrupt, the conscience and the will
may both be led far astray. Thus fell our
general mother type of her sex-overpower-
ed rather than deceived, by the colossal intel
lect-half serpent, half angelic.

STOCKINGS stockings worn by the an.

made of cloth, or of costly stuff, embroidered
and decorated with gold or silver Knit worst
ed stockings were imported from Italy in the
time of Henry VIII, and were worn by the
gentry of that period and in 1880 a pair of
silk stockings were sent to that monarch from
Spain. Ia the time OF Queen Elizabeth it was
common for young men of rank to wear stock
ings Of different fashions and different colors
on each leg. In 1861 the first pair silk stock
ings were knit in this country, and were pre-

AN ENTERPRIsING SCHOOL Boy IN GEoR-
GIA.-There is seyenteeD-year old boy living
in county below US, who has twenly-one
acres planted in cotton He hired one mau
early in the Spring, prepared the land and
bought about 500 worth Of guanO and put up
on it. After getting it planted he started to
school, which he has regularly attended during
the Summer, with the exception of about two
weeks, which his crop required. He works an
hour ortwo every morning, in the afternoon and
Saturday. His cotton is looking very fine and
he expects to get at least fifteen bales off the
tweenty-one acres Estimating each bale at
500 pounds, and that he will get % cents per
ponnd, the gross receipt will be $l,S75. His
entire expenses, including the guano, will not
be over SjO0-which will leave 81, ,375 as
the next earnings Of this school boy. Give
him the benefit Of every doubt, and he will
surely make 81 900 clear. We commend this

Anecdote of GEN. Putnam.

Among the worthless who figured during the
era of the American Revolution, perhaps there
We're none possessing more originality of char
acter than Gen. Putnam, who was eccentric
and fearless blunt in his manners, the daring
soldier, without the polish of a gentleman.
He might we'll be called the Marion of the north,
though he disliked disguise, probably from the
fact of his lisping, which was very apt TO over
throw any trickery he might have in view.
At the time a stronghold, called Horse Neck,
some miles from New York, was in possession
of the British, Putnam, with a few sturdy pa
trots, was lurking in its vicinity, bent on drl-
wing them from the place.. Tired OF laying in
ambush, the men became impatient, and I'M
pOrtuncd the General with questions as to when
they were going to have a bout with the foe
One morning, he made a speech something to
the following effect, which convinced them
that something was in the wind: Eellers,
you We been idle too long, and so have L. I'm
going down to Bush at Horse Neck, with an
OK Team and load of corn. If should come
back, will let you know the particulars. If
should not, let them have it, by hOkey u

as one of the commonest order OF Yankee far

was in possession of the British troops. No
sooner did the officers espy him, than they be.
gan to question as to his whereabouts, and
finding him complete simpleton, as they
thought, they began to quiz him and threaten
ed to seize the corn and fodder.
"How much do you ask for your whole con-
cem7" asked they .ut
- For mercy sake, gentlemen, replied the
mock clodhopper, with the most deplorable
look OF entrcaty, "only let me off, aud you
shall have my hull team aud load for nothing
aud, if that wont dew, III give you my worC
I'll return tomorrow, and pay you heartily fol
your kindness aud condeScenSQn.
"Well," said they ''we'l take you at youl
word leave the team and provender with US
and we wont require any bail for your appear
ance."
! Putnam gave up the team, and sauntereC
about for an hour or so, gaining all the lnfor
nation he wished. He then returned to hi
men aud told them of the foe and his plan o

From the a0ave table 1t Will be seen that
Southern corn produces the most muscle and
least fat, and contains enough Of the phoso-
pilates to give vital power to the brain and
make the bones stronger Mutton is the meat
which should be eateu with Southern corn, and
should be boiled or roasted. The proper mode
to roast mutton is to place in it in boiling water
first, until the glutton Of the meat forms a shell,
which retains the juice OF the meat while
boiling.

DEATH FROM DISAPPOINTMENT IN LOVE-A
sad but interesting case of the death of young
lady, named Susan King is a general topic Of
conversation at Woburn at the present time.
The deceased had been afiance1 to young
man, to whom, it appears, she was deeply at
tached. Some weeks since she happened to
observe him in company with another young
woman, under such circumstances as to give
rise to feelings of iealously on her part. She
upbraided him for his conduct and he replied
to her remonstrances in spirited manner, which
further provoked her to dismiss him. ItSeems
however, that she still cherished in secret the
Old affection, and the Disappointment 50 weighed
upon her mind as to cause severe nervous atr
tack, resulting, about ten days since. in utter
prostration. She remained in this condition
until her death, which occurred on Saturday last.
The deceased was person of excellent charac-
ter and fine personal appearance, and was
