her fathers house, which she said she
desired to do.
Her father offered to give security
that, during the war, she would write
no lettets to her husband, and send TO
the Government, unopened, any letters
she might receive from him. Her offer
was refused, and they ordered her to
depart, and not to return during the

land, too, whittier she accompanied her
husband, she attracted much attention
for her beauty, and was much hattered
in Tory circles. The British Govern
ment gave Arnold, in compensation for
his American losses, something less than
seven thousand pounds, and settled
upon his family pension of thousand
pounds year; which was to be con-
tlnued as long as the husband or the
wife survived. Their family increased
IN England. Arnold, finding himself
pinched upon an income OF thirteen
hundred pounds per annur,, went upon
trading voyage to Halifax with what
success is not known. 1t was thought
by some that he was glad to leave Eng
land for awhile to escape the contempt
in which hewas held even by those who
had employed him.

died, aged forty-three years. That in.

Hints for the Household.

Bru'Ses.-Apply repeatedly cloths
wrung out OF hot water. This will pre-
vent discoloration of the skin, or a
black eye" if applied Immediately.
Watery Potatoes.-If potatoes have
proved watery, put piece of lime into
the pot the size of hens egg; and
when the water is poured off they will
be dry and mealy.
To Boil Meat-While the meat is
boiling add for every three pounds two
spoonfuls of brandy. Even tough meat
will be made tender in this way without
retaining any taste of brandy.
Fhes.-Boil together equal. parts, by
weight, of glue and molasses, spread it
over common brown paper, while hot,
with brush. Place a sheet of paper
in every room in your house. It will
capture every fly in the room within
the day. The paper can be thrown into
The tire and new one used, when COW
cred with the captured flies.
Preserving .Ssoeet Corn.-M. B. Wade,
Fairfield county, Conn, prepares sweet
corn as follows: awe take the corn
right from the hill, and take off some
of the husks, but not all, and put it in
the stove-oven, aud leave it there to
cook from twenty to thirty mintes.
Then take it out, take off the rest of
the husks, and with two-tined fork
take the corn fro n the cob, put on
dishes, and return to the oven to dry.
This is the Indian method, only instead
of the oven they used hot stones, and
burned the corn with them until cooked,
and then dried in the sum-
To Keep Hams in iSummer.-There are
number of modes given to keep hams
through the warm season free from the
attacks of insects. Some bag them and
white-wash the bags, which is trouble
some and somewhat expensive some
cover them with dry woodashe and
pack them in barrels and cover thor
oughly with pine shavings: but we
think the best plan of all, and certainly
the least expensive with all who have a
smoke-house land every farmer should
have a good one), is to keep the hams
hung up in smoke-house, which should
be kept perfectly dark at all times. We
have eaten hams SO kept two years old,
and they were among the best we ever
tasted. Uniform darkness is complete
protection against the attacks of in
sects.

The typesetter stands before his case,
The gas burns low AID the night is deep;
And0ver the staggering chimney stacks
Darkness and shadows creep.
And the city is lost in sleep.
The type-setter stands there gaunt and gray.
With dim old eyes and weary brain;
And he sings cadence solemn and low,
To the beat of the bitter rain
On the rafting easement and pane.
Tremble the rafters. roof. and floors,
As he fingers the types lin his desolate way:
And he hears the music family borne
From the theater over the way,
AT some strange cid tragedy play.
The cid man sings, and tremble the floors

And the crash of the whirling axle-bars,
And the thunders that from them grow,

He sets them up with heavy lead;,
and marge of black encircles his work

A soul in the battle sped.
Winking and blinking before his case,
How out in the dark and desolate night,
Some form of womaniy grace
Is weeping upon her face.
Lower and lower the gas lights burn,
And grow the shadows dusky and gray;
And the storm is hushed and the music's swell
And the theater over the way,
And finished the tragedy play.
The types no more with his fingers move;
And he smiles that. while setting the name below
The angels. in tender love,
Were setting it up above.

From the American Agriculturist
June is month for weeds, and only
by constant cultivation can we keep the

the crops.

become filed with weeds, as much of
the good effect of manuring is lost. 1t
requires but little time to hoe up the
weeds when small. The weeder de-
scribed in the December number of last
year is an excellent tool in soil toll

can be done with it in the same time
than with any other implement we have
ever used.

Uneven Pulling of Teams.

We have received several letters on
this subject, to which we reply general
ly, that it does not follow, because the
double-tree is not even, that one horse
is pulling more than another; neither
does it follow that both horses
are pulling exactly alike. The ques-
ton was originally made, whether one
horse must necessarily be drawing more
than an equal part of the load, and We
replied, no, and still hold to that opin-
ion, as general principle. There are
many contingencies, which might oc.
cur, in which the draught would become
unequal, but they don't affect the ques.

HENRY W. DUrToN, senior proprietor
of the Boston Transcript, was foreman Of
the printing Office of Wells & Lilly, of
Boston, at the time James Gordon Ben
nett was employed there, and the in
timacy then formed was continued. In
1910, Mr.. Bennett solicited work of Mr..
Dutton, stating that he was not print
er, but desired to be about a printing
Office and enjoy the facilities it afforded
for mental improvement. The only
place where he could be made useful
was as copy-holder to the proofreader,
and he was given that situation. He
was very studious and correct, and, af
ter years service, was promoted to be
clerk in the bookstore of the firm on
Court street.

Mixed Grain.

An Eastern farmer writes: 1t has
been our custom for several years, to
SOW a mixture of oats and wheat for
feeding stock, two bushels of oats and
one of wheat to the acre. The yield in
bushels is greater. The quality of the
product is very superior; the wheat is
very full and plump it makes heavy,
and oats are frequently sown together,
to be used as feed for young stock.
Nothing is better as fesh-formipg food.
Oats and barley are also raised together.
We should suppose the barley would
ripen first and shell before the oats
would mature. 1t is said the barley is
retarded in ripening by the shade of the
oats, so that both reach maturity at the
same time.

A Chance to BE Liberal Wisely.

Ia the midst of the confusion and dissi-
patton that abound on every hand good
and worthy purposes are constantly at
work to make the world better and its am
billions nObler. Strike conscience from hui
mainly and the human race would fall to
the level of the brute creation. Forget
virtue and depravity would destroy man
kind. These two qualities are like beauti-
full flowers that need to be cultivated and
tended in the midst of a garden Overrun
with weeds. They need to be watered and
protected with diligence and eOnstancy,
and every effort that can be made for their
benefit and enlargement is literally and
ungrudgingly given. As these flowers tax
our care and providence, so the instruments
that adorn society and preserve its beauty
and integrity should be nurished and fOs-
tered out of our means because they are
the fertilizers that make morality beautiful
and peace a blessing in the land. Every
church in the State is an anchorage ground
that deserves to be made faster and frmer
amid the floods of wickedness that sweep
away the young and the beautiful. We
y
upward, and the best defense we can direct
against this tendency is standing appeal
against it. The preacher meets us daily
and is a constant hindrance to our weak
ness. His vocation is a never ending task
in behalf of what is good and noble in his
fellOw-men. He IS our help to resist temp
tatiOn, and the more we see of him and do
for him the nearer we approach the excel
lence he represents.
The new Presbyterian church on NapO-
leon avenue needs the assistance of which
we have been writing above. In order to
secure this help the congregation will give
an entertainment, CT rather a series of en-
tertainments, commencing next Monday
tomorrow evening, in the new brick
church edifce on Napoleon avenue. The
ladies of the congregation intend to make
this pleasant and innocent affair through
out, and they propose to give to every one
the worth of his money. 1t is a place that
ladies and gentlemen can patrOnize and feel
that they have done a good deed. 1t is a
place that fathers and mothers can help
and feel that they have helped their chill
dren. 1t is a place that good citizens can
assist and feel that they have helped their
fellow citizens. The church is the great
levee wall that keeps out evil and wicked
ness, and the Presbyterian church, wher-
ever it is built, can be relied On to make the
community better.
The new church is a handsome building,
and everybody should desire to see it speed
lily completed. The easiest way to manifest
and make practical this desire is to spend
the money that would be thrown away in
more Improbable ways, IN visiting the en-
tertainments that will be offered them to-
morrow night.

Gnvernnr Warmth.

The Madison Journal, in reply to the
Ouachita Telegraph. has an editorial from
which we copy:
In our editorial life we have never
thought it our duty to abuse or vilify men
because they happened to disagree with US
in politics or religion.
We have never thought it right or proper
to denOunce a man as a thief or even a dis
konOred official, unless we could point to
the act which made him such. Hence, We
have not abused Governor WarmOth or
given currency to the various charges af-
fecting his official character which have
been made against him and never proved
We have had frequent occasion to commend
and applaud him for acts which we thought
were in the interest of the commonwealth,
under circumstances that would have de-
tered good men Of less courage: and
sometimes we have censured him
for acts which we thought were
almost objectionable UsurpatiOns of
power and in direct cOntravenriOn of the
constitution and laws which he was sworn
to support and execute. We do respect
Governor WarmOth. He is the chief mag
istrate of the State. On one or two Occa-
siOns we have applied to him for acts in his
power to grant of grace and mercy. We
were successful in these applications, and
though we had no personal interest IN
either, we were impressed with the idea
that he desired to administer the govern
ment with which he was intrusted in wis
dom and mercy, and so far as our knOwl-
edge extends he has done so, with very few
exceptions. We do not believe that Cover
nor WarmOth has ever received bride any
more than John Ray has; and If every poll
tican between here and the gates of hell
were TO come up and swear before Judge
HOugh that he had, we wouldn't believe it.

The wOrkingmen,s Accommodation Bank.

The WOrkingmen's Accommodation Bank.
We are glad to see that the attention of
our people is turned to the establishment of
mOneyed institutions solely intended for as
sisting and benefting the labOring classes.
OF banks which had business relations al
most exclusively with the commercial
classes there were many, who all did their
best in assisting the branch in whose inter
est they were established, but bank where
the poor man could find accommodation in
his small way, and meet with sympathy in
his labors and trials, there were none, al
though they had long been sOrely needed
and their field of operation was wide and
vacant. The institution which is now in
the course of organization, to be called the
WOrkingmen's Accommodation Bank, and,
as its name implies, is to be exclusively for
the accommodation and assistance of that
respectable and useful class of citizens.
The capital of this institution is to be
$500, 900, which will be divided into 10000
shares of $25 each, so as to offer even the
poorest mechanic, clerk or labOrer an OPP
pOrtunity to participate in its benefits and
share in its profits. Already has that class
largely responded, and we learn that the
subscription books show that the greater
part of the stock has been taken, and the
demand for it is steadily increasing. The
gentlemen at the head of the movement are
business men of the very first talents and
experience, and when the bank is opened
which will be in a few weeks-its advan-
tages will be felt Immediately, as it must
prove an incentive to industry and econ

SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAYS EXCURSIONS

boats that has ever been in the lake trade,

be desired. She has on board an excellent
restaurant, where meals are furnished at
the same rates as in the city. Her cabins
are cool and airy, and her officers obligiing
