A Sensible Girl.

Some writer, to US unknown, tells this story
Of her:
Twenty years ago, young man who had paid
attention TO bright, sweet girl for long time
without making anything that was even second
cousin to proposal, was startled one evening
by the questions: ~
Robert do you want to marry mef'
He tried to evade the point by asking why she
put such question to him.
because if you do not want to marry me,
you must stop coming to see me, no mocking
bird around the red breasts nests you know.
Robert took the hint, and with cool good
night. walked home What should be care for
a girl so rude as that? Good company as her $
elsewhere He would join the club next day.
He tried to sleep but couldn't. He didn't like
the turn things had taken. The figure plagued
him. If he was mocking bird who was the
red-breast that he was keeping away from such
a fitting partner? "At any rate, one thing is
certain, Edna is smart as she is pretty, he said
to himself, "and she means business"
The next morning Robert went to the count
ing room. 1t was long day. Business had
dragged Everybody was pre-occupied, hurried,
cross. Things went wrong. He was glad to go
home, only it wasn't home. He took book,
but found himself trying to read the Goals in the
CRATE and figures on the wall instead of the page.
He threw himself on the lounge, but it was
dreadfuliy QuU. he StOOu IL u Wuiie, anu
then put on his hat and walked down to the
Widow Craeies. He stepped up to the door as
usual but Edna engaged. He asked to
have her called 1t seemed month before she
came down. At last she appeared DE rose
from his seat and met her in the middle OF the
| room, and said:
EDNA, have come here tonight on busi-
ness. | am tired of being your mocking ord,
and want to be your red-breast will you come
and be my wife?
"When do You say?' said Edna, her face
sufused with bushes.
s'Soon as can make nest" Robert replied
al believe both the red breasts join in build
ing the nest" said Edna, and | want to do my
part"
This was twenty years ago. To-day one OF
the handsomest mansions in one of our cities Is
the nest of our welded pair whose life has been
as sweet a birds song, and whose hearts, like
their affections, are as young as ever. There is
a great deal more in putting little straight-for-
ward business at the beginning of life than is
generally supposed.-S. f. ADVOCATE.

BELLE BoYD-It is known that this remarka-
Bile lady is now an inmate of California insane
asylum She is said to be ravng mad. A
Pittsburg paper says of her career:
Fighting in male attire, at her fathers side, in
the rebel army, running the blockade, pervert-
ing the faith of n naval officer, courted, married
divorced, married again and separated from her
second husband, actress, lecturer and social re-
former-such that widely known female
Belle Boyd. Her feet and brain had no rest
buffetted from pillar to post, with no guide and
no support but her own instincts and fiery South
ern passions, we caunot admire, but we must
pity this strange soul, and be astonised at its
wild, romantic career. After all, when so many
storms have been weathered and so many dan
gers passed through, the high spirit has sue
cumbed at last.

THE doctrine which has so long and 80 earn
estly, yet so Intellectually, been preached to
women, says the Pail Nall Gazette, "that they
should not care about their dress and outward
appe trance, has received severe shock by the
influence which the Empress of the French is
said to have exercised regards the Turkish
women at Constantinople Had she gone to
Constantinopie in poke bonnet she would have
done more harm than good. 1t is her graceful
magniicence which is the secret of her sway.

SMALL BED CHAMBERS There is rea-
son to believe that more cases of dangerous
and fatal diseases are gradually engendered
annually by the habit of sleeping in small,
unventilated rooms, than have occurred
from a cholera atmosphere during any year
since it made its appearance in this country
Very many persons sleep in eight by ten
rooms, that is, in rooms the length and
breadth of which multiplied together, and
this multiplied again by ten for the height
ofthe chamber would make just eight hun
dred cubic feet, while the cubic feet for
each bed, according to the English appor-
ionment for hospitals, is twenty-one hun
dred feet.
But more, in order to give the air of
room the highest degree of freshness" the
French hospitals contract for complete
renewal of The air of a room every hour.
while the English assert that double the
amount, or over four thousand feet an hour
10 required. Four thousand feet of air every
hour! and yet their are multitudes in the
city of New York who sleep with closed
doors and windows in rooms which do not
contain thousand cubic feet of space, and
that thousand feet is to last oil night, at
leust eight hours, except such scanty sup
plies as may be obtained of any fresh air
that may insinuate itself through little Gre
vices by door or window, not an eight of
an inch in thickness. But when it is known
that in many cases a man and wife
and infant sleep habitnally in thousand
feet rooms, it is no marvel that multitudes
perish permaturly in cities; no wonder that
infant children wilt away like flowers with
out water, and that five thousand of them
are to die in the city New York alone
during the hundred days which shall in
clude theffteeDth of July in every year
Another fact is suggestive, tha, among
the fifty thousand persons who sleep night.

E The Hearth and Home says : In
feeding farm animals, remember that when
you place food before an animal, it is eat

strength, to supply heat, or to make fat or

supply muscular waste, the less goes to
milk. The more she needs to keep her

or of flesh: Coarse, rough food, as swamp
hay, butts of corn stalks, and straw Weld

CATTLE AND HoGs.-Beef cattle should
be fed freely on pumpkins, boiled corn,
and mixed cut feed. Don't feed ripe
pumpkins to mich cows without first re-
moving the seeds, as they promote the Sc.
cretion of the kidneys aud cut short the
flow of milk. Hog. for market should be
strong fed this month not quite as much
as they will eat, but as much as they can

ca Sheep require about three per cent.
of their live weight of hay or its equiva.
lent per day, that is, about three pounds
for sheep weighing in the neighborhood
of one hundred pounds. But 1t is not
good economy to confne them to hay
alone. They do better on ii variety of
food, and roots of some kinds may be re-
garded as essential to their thrift. If
regularly supplied with turnips or other
roots, they will readily consume the stalks
and straw and do well on them, while
without roots they require good hay.
