A Romantic Family History.

The Worcester, (NIass.) Spy tells this
story:
a short timc since there came on one OF
the trains from the West slightly built
youth, who, after leaving the cars, asked
permission of one Of the baggage masters
at the depot to seat himself aud. rest short
time in the baggage room. I he request
was granted, and the one in charge of the
room asked of the other how far he had
Travelled. The newly-arrived said he had
come a long distance-from Janesvle,
Wisconsin, without stopping-and that he
had come to Massachusetts for one sole
purpose of hunting up his fathers relatives.
II said that his father had run away from
his home when but twelve years of age !;
went on board a ship for California, which
was wrecked before reaching that place
but his father, with part of the crew was
saved He landed'in California, grew to
manhood, was married, hal two children,
a boy and girl-the former the narrator.
His father had never communicated with
his relatives here, but having acquired
large property, and retiring from daily
dClife llc, oeiuS dloo III pun hCdilh, udu
more leisure and an increased desire to find
his eastern friends
The names being given, the baggage
agent informed the traveller that his father
sister, herself the only survivor of the fam
lily, was in the city and within fifteen min
utes' walk This aunt of his was poor
widow. her husband having lost his life in
the late war. He told him to 90 t. a GER
tain street and number and call for Hattie
. and ask if she had any idea who
he could b.. He did so, aud, after look
ing in his face moment, she said he chad
his fathers eyes" She had often heard
her people speak of the long lost brother,
whom they believed lost by the shipwreck,
as in list of the lost was name which
was only different from his by one or two
letters. The JOY was mutual, aud the neph-
ew urged his aunts return with him to the
home and independence which would be 50
freely given by his father But the young
man returned without her, as other ties
were formed here aud home already pro-
vided He told her that home and
share of his fathers property awaited her
acceptance.

SHE NEVER LEAVES HIM.-Look at
the career Of man as he passes through the
world at a man visited BY misfortune =
How often is he left by his fellow men to
sink under the weight Of afflction unheed-
ed and alone! One friend of his own sex
forgets him, another abandons him; third
perhaps betrays him; but woman, faithful
woman, follows him in his affections with
unshaken affection; braves the changes of
feeling, of his temper, embittered by the
disappointments of the world, with the
highest Of all virtue; in resigned patience
ministers to his wants, even when her own
are hard pressing; she weeps with him,
tear for tear, in his distress, and is the first
to catch and reflect ray of JOY, should but
one light up his countenanee in the midst
of his suffering and she never leaves him
in his misery while there remains one act
oflove, duty, or compassion to be performed
And at last when life and sorrow come to
an end, she follows him to the tomb, with
an ardor of affection which death itself
cannot destroy.

WHAT IS DIRT ?-Old Dr.. Cooper, of
South Carolina, used to say TO his students j:
4Don't. be afraid of a little dirt, young
gentleman. What is dirt? Why, nothing
at all offensive when chemically viewed
Rub little alkali upon the dirty grease
spot on your coat, and it undergoes chem
ical change aud becomes soap; now rub it
with little water, and it disappears it is
neither grease, soap, water nor dirt. That
is not very oderous pile of dirt you OBJ
serve there: well, scatter little gypsum
over it, and it is no longer dirty. Every
thing you call dirt is worthy your notice as
students OF chemistry. Analyze it Ana
lyze 1t will all separate into very clean
elements. Dirt makes corn. corn makes
bread and meat, and that makes very
sweet young lady that saw one Of you

her skin with chalk of Fullers earth.A

such stuff upon the beautiful skin of young
lady is dirty practice. Pearl powder,

To MAKE New ROPE PLIABLE-Many
of our readers have experienced great diff
Guilty in handling new ropes. Every farmer
knows how unmanageable a new stiff rope
halter is and his patience is severely tried
when he tries to tie up his cattle with it,
as the rope will coil isself into every shape
but the one desired. Often he finds his
horses and cattle rampaging about the barn,
having loosensd the knots of the rev -hal-
tiers. By simply boiling the rope in water
for two hours, all this trouble can be
avoided, and the rope made as soft and
pliable as if used months. Its strength is
not diminished, but its stiffness is gone
1t must hang in a warm room until thorough
ly dried, and not allowed to kink. This
easy remedy will secure horses and cattle
from many kicks and blows, and prevent
much profanity.-[ Hearth and !. Home.

LATEST DISCOVERY IN

at length been obviated. Vegetable Cathartc

DIR. Ermus Winslow's Liver and stomach
L. zenge is the most important medical novelty
that modern chemistry has produced. 1t contains
two botanical extracts, perfectly harmless in them
selves, but enbodying all the remedial properties
of mercury, and destined in this pleasant form to
supercede and bauish from general use, the nause-
Gus pills and potions of which that dangerous ez-
citant is the main ngrediant. More than
ONE THOUSAND EXPERIMENTS
were made by the inventor of this peerless remedy
befare.it was brought to its present state of per-
feetQn. The Lozense is perfectly harmless in It's
operation, and although the medicinal tAste of its
curative components has been extinguished by
chemical art, their virtuSs remain as active and
potent as eyer.
In Dyspepsia, Bilousness. Constipation, Sick or
Nervous Headache, Piles, Dropsy, and the irregu
arities to which the feeble subject the Lo-
zengers will be found Intimately more effective than
any of the horrible and disgusting compounds
