put up for winter use; extra farm help

beside the ordinary cooking, washing
and ironing for the family. In the city
it is very easy to procure anything for
the table at very few minutes notice !;
but it is not easy to do so in the country.

that they can not eat baked beans, corned
beef and bread and milk, should not
crowed themselves on their country
friends at time when every hour is en-
ployed in necessary work, and every
minute has its care. They should not
want farmers wives and daughters to
make themselves uncomfortable that they
may enjoy some extra comforts. Country
cousins may be old-fashioned, ungenteel
in the eyes of their city relatives, but
after all they have some rights, that the
latter are bound in reason to respect. If
it is pleasant to escape from the close air
of the city into the open fields, they
should be content to put up with country
fare, and to receive little attention from
the persons they visit during the most
busy season Of the year.-.Colenan's Ru-

Build Him a Fire. .sI

Ferrin, the landlord of the Westmin-
ster Hotel, in New York, is not often
nonplussed, but last August dapper
little Frenchman staggered him for a
moment. Walking up to the Office he
accosted Ferrin with: .t rse -
If you please, Monsieur, you shall
send bill de fire in my room"
ga whatr' said Fearin, looking at the
thermometer, which indicated niAety-
two degrees. .-,fa-
81 wish re bill de fire in nv apart
ment," repeated the Frenchman.
"All right, SIR" said Ferrin, with that
outward imperturbality with which the
true hotel-keeper receives an order for
anything, if it be gold dust pudding with
diamond plums.
"John! fire in 1O,OO1.'' Ht3
Yes sur-r-rp said John; and by the
time the Frenchman had arrived at his
room, John, with Precipitation pouring
off of him, had the CRATE filled and a
blaze roaring up the chimney like mad.
"Vat ze diable you do 90 cried the as
tonished foreigner.
"Built a fire, sir, as ye ordered" re-
piled the other exile.
"Fire be tami'' screamed the French
man. 81 shall roast myself NTH re
heat!" and, rushing down stairs, he ap-
peared at the office with inflamed face
and moistened shirt-collar, exclaiming:
81 ask you not for re fire. Vat! think L
wish to make myself more hot, eh? L
call for bill de fire-ze bill, ze carte, so
can eat myself wiz my dinnaire.''
"Bill of fare? Oh! yes s,sir," said Fer
rim. 81 beg your pardon.'' And he
politely passed out the programme for
the day, but deputed one of the garcons
of the restaurant to answer any further
orders from the subject of Napoleon.

The Place of Lees Surrender

Edward A. Pollard contributes to Old
and Neac, for August, paper on his
''Recollections of Appomatox Court
house," in which he thus refers to the
meeting between Gems. Grant and Lee,
on the occasion of the latter's surrender: I:
1t has been popularity reported that the
interview between the two commanders
took place under an apple tree, which
has consequently been crowned with
historic associations. 1t is false. The
fact is, that, in the morning of the 9th
of April, Gen. Lee, with single mem
Der of his staff, was resting under an
apple tree, when Col. Babcock, of Gen.
Grants staff, rode up under a flag of
truce, saying, that if Gen. Lee remained
where he was, Gen. Grant would come
to him by the road the latter was then
pursuing. This was the only interview
under or near the apple tree; and it may
be mentioned here, that the following
day Col. Marshall, who attended Gen.
Lee on the occasion, was surpried to find
Federal soldiers hacking at the tree, and
was amused at their idea of obtaining
from it mementOes of the surrender.
Obtaining news of Grants approach,
Gen. Lee at once ordered Col. Marshall
to find a fit and convenient house for the
Interview. Col. Marshall applied to the
first citizen he met, Mr.. Wilmer Mclean,
and was directed to house vacant and
dismantled. He refused to use it; and
Mr.. Mclean then offered to conduct him
and the General to his own residence, a
comfortable house, with long portico
and convenient "sitting-room," furn-
ished after the bare style of the times.
The house was about half mile dis
tant from Gen. Lees camp. The Con-
federate commander was attended only
by one of his aids, Col. Marshall, a
youthful, boyish-looking scion of the old
and illustrious Marshall family of Vir-
ginia, who had been the constant COM
panion of Gen. Lee in all his campaigns,
and, as his private secretary, had done
good literary service in the preparation
of reports of battles, etc., which are now
historical. With Grant there were sew
eral of his staff officers; and number
of Federal generals, including Ord and
Sheridan, entered the room, and Joined
in the slight general conversation that
took place there.
The interview opened without the least
ceremony. The story has been frequent
ly repeated, that Gen. Lee rendered his
sword, and that Gen. Grant returned it
with complimentary remark. There
was no such absurdity. Gen. Lee wore
his sword (Which was not his usual
habiD, and, on the exchange of saluta-
tions, Gen. Grant remarked: ssI must
apologize, General, for not wearing my
sword; it had gone off in my baggage
when 1 received your note" Gen. Lee
bowed, and at once, and without further
conversation, asked that Gen. Grant
would state in writing, if he preferred it,
the terms on which he would receive the
surrender of the Army of Northern
Virginia. Gen. Grant complied by sit
ting at table -iH-t4re-r room, and writing
with common lead pencil the note so
well remembered.

A People On stills.

The pictures of Rosa Bonheur have
made us all acquainted with the singular
habits which the shepherds of the lands
south of Bordeaux have adopted of pass
ing the greater part of their lives on
stiIts. The first time that a group Of
these people is seen, there is a curious
emotion in the mind as of a strange
prodigy. Dressed in sheep-skins, worn
by time, knitting stockings or spinning
thread, they graYely pass over the reeds
or furze; the spectator, buried as it
were, in the bushes, they lifted nearer
the sky on the verge of the horizon.
The long stick which they handle with
so much address, serving as balancing
pole or support for the arm, contributes
still more to the strangeness of their ap-
pearance; the look like gigantic crickets
preparing to spring. In the lands of
Medoc, not only the shepherd, but every
one uses this style of locomotion the
children have no fear, and the women
who are invariably dressed in black, re-
semble large ravens perched on dead
branches. The origin of stills is un-
known; but it is probable that they were
not in use before the Middle Ages, as
ancient authors make no mention of
them. Perched on these borrowed legs,
the shepherd watches over his charge
concealed in the brush-wood, crosses
uniniured the marshes and quicksands,
fears not to be torn by thorns and dry
twigs, and can at any time double the
speed with which he ordinarily walks.
These people are habitually retiring, and
do not seem to like to be watched by
strangers, who come to see them out OF
curiosity.

CITY Cousins.

1t is wise and well for city people to
visit their friends and relations in the
country. In order for them to have
good time, and to enjoy what the city
does not afford-green fields, wild flow
ers, the song OF birds-these visits should
bs made in summer. City people, how
ever, who go to the country to enjoy out
door pleasures, should be content to make
the most of them without taking up the
time or interfering with the duties of the
people they visit. If they wish to share
the society of their country friends, they
should visit them in winter; at least they
should defer their visit till after haying
and harvest. During the winter, there
is plenty of time to talk and be social
but when there is field of lodged clover,
of full grown timothy, or of over ripe
wheat to be cut, there is no time to enter
tain company. The farmer has no choice
in the time to do his work. Seed time
and harvest are ordained at particular
seasons, and their duties must be at
tended to then or never. Many load of
clover has been blackened or ruined be-
cause the team had to go to the depot, a
dozen miles away, to bring the Saratoga
trunks of some city girl, who was pining
to see her country aunt during the straw
berry and cherry season. Many a country
cousin has had to mandrake the morn
ing moving of timothy, because the gen.
tie horse that was used on the horse-rake
had to go to the distant post office to
carry letters for his pretty but trouble
some city cousin.
Country people are ordinarily glad to
see their city friends, even in haying and
harvest time, providing they "will make
themselves at home;" and will be satis-
fed with the enjoyment they can find in
orchard, field, pasture and forest. Boys
who can rake after the cart, get the cows
and carry luncheon into the field; and
girls who will pick and prepare berries
for the table, make beds and wash dishes
will always be welcome to farmers
homes even in the season of hay and grain
cutting. Genteel misses, however, who
do not wish to rise till nine O'Clock in the
morning, who require an escort when
crossing pasture for fear of az attack
from some pet COW; who wish company
from the house or field to assist in game
of croquet, in the middle of the afternoon,
and who insist in humping piano or
singing airs from the last opera at mid
night, had better defer their visits till a
time more convenient to their hosts. The
same remark will apply to dyspeptic in
dividuals, of all ages and of both sexes,
who can not eat farmers fare at the hours
they have it ready, but who require a
great variety of foreign dainties served
UP in the latest city style.
Not only the men, but the women on
the farm are busy during the summer.
They have the dairy to see to; fruit to

Self Esteem.

A man may be addicted to many vices,
and yet there may be hope of reclaim
ing him. But the moment he loses all
sense of character, and all consciousness
of a superior nature-that is, the moment
he begins to look upon himself and his
vices as worthy of one another-that
moment all hope of reclaiming him per-
ishes; for the last ground is surrendered
ON which it is possible for his remaining
good principles to rally and make a
stand. We have often known men who
have retained their self-respect long after
they had lost their regard for principle;
but never one who retained his regard
for principle after he had lost his self-re-
spect. Destroy this, and you destroy
everything; for man who does not re-
spect himself, respects nothing.
