of their first acquaintance, seeming to read


her thoughts.
Servants are quick to learn the degree of
estimation in which the various members
of the family are held. A new servant
had been engaged for a few..days before Mr..
Lothrop's arrival. She soon preceived it
was not necessary to take much pains to
please "only Annie" She entered the
room one morning to ask Mrs. Rathburn
where she should find some articles she
needed. Mrs. Rathburn was very busily
engaged, and replied
"Ask Miss Edith if she will please-no
there's Annie tell her to show you"
The girl approached Annie, and said
familiarly
"Annie Mrs. Rathburn says you are
to show me where to find the new curtains
to the east chamber"
Annie neither moved or seemed to hear.
The girl repeated her name. Annie looked
up and asked quietly:
"Do you wish anything of Miss Annie?"
The girl understood the. reproof, and
looked abashed. She said respectfully:
If you would please, Miss Annie, to show
me where to find the curtains"
The young girl rose and followed her
out, and was never afterwards addressed
by her, save in a respectful manner
AS Annie passed Mrs Rathbun in
going out of the room, the latter said,
coldly, to Eva:
Annie's dignity seems to cause her
great deal of trouble"
Susan was not the only person from
whom Annie was forced to exact respect.
The children were both in the library. 1t
was cheerful sunny room, and little Will
lie had been carried into it during the air
ing of the nursery. Annie was with them.
The door opened suddenly, and Mr..
Kirkwood looked in. He had seen but
little of Annie. 1t is doubtful, in truth, if
he could have told in what relationship she
stood to the beautiful Edith, SO little had
he needed her. That she was not consider
ed of much importance in the family he
must have been aware, and, judging from
this as we'll as from her manner, concluded,
that she was in reality the weak, charact-
erless girl she seemed.
This opinion might unconsciously have
influenced him, or else in his haste he was
forgetful; at all events, though he was
usually courteous man, even to his in
feriors, he said, without the morning sal
utation:
"Ah thought Miss Edith was here.
Can you tell me where she is ?''
| Annie said, pointedly: "Good morning,
Mr. Kirkwood," and after minutes
pause, replied to his question::
edith was here moment ago. Sit
down, if you please; Lilly will call her."
The child went at her bidding.
The gentleman colored and smiled at the
idea that it was necessary that he, with
his advantages of society and travel,
should be taught manners by "only An
nie." Concluded next week.

gB- There are many fruits which never
turn sweet until the frost has lain upon
them. There are many nuts that never
fall from the boughs of the forest trees till
the frost has opened and ripened them.-
And there are many elements of life that
never grow sweet and beautiful until ,sor-
row touches them.

Never Satisfied.

"Johnny come here" said DR.. Fry to
his little boy, who was playing on the car
pet in the dining "here is an apple
for YOU"
1t was SO large he could hardly grasp it.
DR.. Fry then gave him another apple which
filled the other hand.
"Here is another" said he, giving the
child a third.
Little Johnny tried hard to hold it be-
tween the other two, but could not sue
ceed ; it rolled away across the floor. On
seeing this, he burst into tears.
"See," said DR.. Fry to lady who was
present, "here is a child with more than he
can enjoy, and yet not satisfied. My child
is just like us all. We are ever seeking to
possess more and more of the worlds trea-
sures, and yet we are never satisfied. Oh
that we were equally in earnest in "grasp-
ing" the promise of the Gospel"

We met an old farmer a few
days ago who was on his way
home from the depot with his
wagon loaded with corn. He
stopped to tell us that it was
the first corn he had ever
bought, though he. had been
farming for about thirty years.
He WAS very much humiliated
because he had failed to raise
a supply of corn, and was full
of excuses for the failure.
The time was, in many parts
Of ou Southern country, when
corn buying farmers We're
looked upon. with contempt by
the better class of the commu-
nifty; and some of our citizens
have not yet become insensi-
bic to the reproach. We trust
the Jime viii again come when
respectable farmers will re-
gard it as necessary to give
some plausible reason for hav-
ing 20 buy corn, or meat, Oh
whatever else of home supplies
that may be more economi.

Advertising in Country Papers.

The following sensible re
marks ON the advantages of
country papers as advertising
mediums for city merchants
and busiDess men generally,
are from the Iberville South !:
It is an astonishing fact that
very few Of the city merchants
and business men generally
seem to appreciate the impor-
tance of advertising in coun-
try papers, whilst they are so
lavish in their expenditures on
the city dailies for these pur-
poses. These papers are not
read by one man in a hundred
from the country, and not sub
scribed to by one in a thou
sand. Country visitors to the
city buy a great many, with
which to while away the tedi-
Gus breakfast hour at hotels,
see their own names among
the arrivals, and to post them
selves as to the amuSements
of the coming evening. Other
wise moi another line is read.
The visitor never waits to
get to the city to find out what
he wants or where to get it.
His list is made out and his
places Of dealing selected be
fore he leaves home.
Everybody in the country
takes his own Parish paper,
andis familiar with every ad-
vertiseInent in it. And it is a
natural consequence for one to
patronize the places he knows
OF best
City advertisers will find ii
decidedly TO their interest to
patronize country papers.

To Pickle Meat In One day.-Get
u tub nearly full of rain or river
water, and put two pieces of thin
wood across it, and set The beef on
them at about a distance of an
inch from the waterl. Head as
much salt as will stand on the
beef, and let it remain twentyfour
hours; then take the meat off and
boil it, and You will find it rs
salty as if it had been in pickle
for weeks, the water having
drawn the salt completely through
the beef.
Spiced Beef.-Chop fine the
tough ends of two very large beef
steaks, and a1 piece Of raw suet
about as large as half an egg,
season with pepper and salt; and
little dried sammer savOry; then
add two well beaten eggs, with
about half a pint of dried bread
rolled fine, or as much rolled
crackers, and piece of fresh
butter as large as an egg, make
into Il long roll, with -four enough
to keep it together, put into "a ba-
king pan. with dripping as large
as half an egg, and water enough
To keep from burning. Bake as
you would n roasting piece of
beef; when cold, slice thin for the
table. Some eat it with vinegar.
Fhite'caSiiRg.-AS the season
%! the year is at hand for this i'm
portant work we will give a re-
cipe Tor the best whitewash, which
the Ohio Farmer, so well posted
III these matters, declares TO be the
best for out door work:
Take half IL pound of mutton
taliow, one peek of quick lime
and little rock salt mixed. Dis
solve the salt iii hot wafer, pour
on to the lime, and when it is in
high heat, put in the tallOw, and
after the lime is Stacked reduce to
proper consistency. The tallow
prevents penetration OF moisture,
and the salt hardenS the coat.
Cherry Bounce Fill demiiohn
with cherries, pnd then fill up
with whiSkey; let it stand thIee
or four months, and then draw
off aud Swepten to taste. This
will keep fOnr years, the older the
better.
Tomato IFiae.-Take any guam
tity OF ripe tomatoes. wash aud
! press from them the juice, strain,
and to every gallon add four
pounds (avoirdupois) crushed
sugar; let it stand until it is done
fermenting, draw off, without
agitation, and bottle. Will be
prime in six to twelve months.
The yellow tomato makes a white
wine with yellow tinge; the red %
dark cOlOred wine of course.

Gov. BRowN.-0f b. Gratz
Brown, Governor of Missouri,
who was nominated for Vice
President of the United States,
at the Liberal Republican
Convention, at Cincinnati, the
Chicago Tribune says:
B. Gratz Brown was born at
Lexington, KY, and is just 46
years old. He settled as a
lawyer at st. Louis; entered
the State Legislature at the
age of 26; soon after became
connected with the st. Louis
Democrat, and edited it from
1854 to 1859; started the Re
publican party in Missouri in
1857; raised and commanded
a regiment in 1S61-subse7
quently a brigade; led in the
abolition of slavery in 1864;
was United States Senator
from 1868 to 1867, and was
elected Governor Of Missouri
on the broad platform of Gen
eral Amnesty in 1871. He,
perhaps, precedes any other
Republican as the founder of
the Liberal party, Mr.. Brown
is a good speaker, scholarly
and original, an able editor,
and a sagacious politician.
He is still in the freshness OF
his youth, has a long political
career ahead, and will stand a
strong chance of being one of
the leading and controlling
statesmen of the country.

How TO ENJOY LIFE.-It is
wonderful to what an extent
people believe happiness de
pends on not being obliged to
labor. Honest, hearty, con
tented labor is the only source
OF happiness, as well as the
only guarantee of life. The
gloom of misanthropy is not
only a great destroyer of hap
piness we might have, but
it tends to destroy life itself.
Idleness and luxury produce
premature decay much faster
than many trades regarded as
the most exhaustive and fatal
to longevity. Labor In gener-
al, instead of shortening the
term of life, actually increases
it. 1t is the lack Of occupa-
tion that atannually destroys so
many of the wealthy, who,
having nothing to do, play the
part of drones, and like them
make a speedy exit, while the
busy bee fills out its day in
usefulness and honor.

SOME CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT
WORDs.-An educated Eng
lish gentleman, who has been
at a public school and at the
University, who reads his
Bible, his Shakespeare, and
the 'Times," seldom use+ more
than three thousand OF four
thousand words in actual con
versation. Close reasoners and
thinkers, who avoid general
expressions and wait foI. the
word that exactly fits their
meaning, employ a larger
stock, and eloquent speakers
may rise TO ten thousand.-
Shakespeare produced al his
plays with fifteen thousand
words, Milton's works are built
up with eight thousand, and
the Old Testament SAYS all it
has to say with five thousand
six hundred and forty two.

In a religious excitement in
a country town a person met a
neighbor, who took him by
the hand and said:
"I have become a christian. "
L am glad of it." was the
reply, "for l suppose we shall
now have a settlement of that
little account between us. Pay
me what thou owest."
No" said the newborn
christian, turning on his heel,
religion is religion, and bust
ness is business"

A PrOpheCy---The Late Senator
Grimes on the Campaign.

ASbIO 'uD4ISLItS tIiC 1OIIOMIll9
extract from a letter written in
Switzerland, in February last,
by the late Senator Grimes:
| rejoice that | have ceased
to have any active part in pol
itics, and | assure you that no
man could be more happy to
get into the Senate than l was
to get out Of it, after the in
roads ofthe carpet-bag knights
of the South.
Ihave no doubts about the
result of the contest of 1872, if
the Democrats make wise nom
nations; but they mast not giUe
their ddcerSGries the ddrdRtage
Of the wGr issues, as they did
before by nominating Blair on
the strength Of his Broadhead
letter; nor will they succeed
on the strength Of the Pendle-
ton financial theory, which
drives to the Republican sup
port thousands and tens of
thousands of conservative men
who look upon it as a sort of
concealed repudiation. But
the Republicans will be over
thrown, and ought to be.
1. Because Of the utter fail
ure Of their scheme for the
reconstruction of the South.
2. Because of their resolve
to perpetuate as long as pos
sible all the passions of the
civil war, and their consequent
refusal to enfranchise the men
in the South who were honest
enough to fight on the strength
Of their convictions.
8. Because of their ineXora-
bic resolution to maintain an
enormous tariff by which a
few are benefited at the eX-
pense Of the many, and by
which they have utterly de
stroyed our commerce.
4. Because of the persistent
attempts of the administration
to force upon us Spanish Cath
olic negro States, not only
without the wish, but against
the wen-known wish Of the
people of the country-all in
the interest of a ring.
6. Because of the corruption
that is reeking everywhere in
legislation, in the shape of
land jobbing, steamship sub
sides, Chorpening claims, and
in administration as in the
Cherokee land sale, the gold
corner in New York, and in
various other eases.
My own opinion is that the
financial issues, heretofore
raised by the Democrat
ic party, are pretty much
exhausted, and that they have
a tendency to weaken rather
than to strengthen the party
But ofthis Imay be mistaken
Very truly yours,
j. w. GRIMES.
