An Awful Lonesome Man in CalifOr-
MIA.

In the shanty which, in California's
early days, did duty as Office for the bank
ing, postal, and express business of Wells,
Fargo & Co., in Marysville, there sat, one
Saturday evening, misanthropic and de-
jected looking individual, whose long and
unkempt hair and beard, cow-hide boots
and rough dress bespoke the miner. For
over an hour he sat there, the picture of
despair, with not a word or a look for
any one present. Miners came, left their
"dust, "took their coin in return, and ex-
changed greetings with all present, save
the one morose man whose apathy moth
ing, it seemed could disturb. Finally
there entered a young miner with beam
ing face, who, after completing his busi-
ness at the counter, turned to the agent
in charge and remarked that on the previ-
Gus Saturday he had some dealings with
the bank, and thought that some mis-
take had been made in his account.
"Guess not" said the agent. "Our
cash was all right, and reckon we keep
our books pretty straight"
But upon the request of the miner that
the account should be examined, the &C.
count was looked at, and it was
found that, through a clerical error, the
miner had been paid Just $50 too much
"That's just what l make it," said the
latter, 'and here's your money" With
this he threw down the gold and received
the thanks of the agent
While this conversation was IN prog
ress, the misanthropic miner had preserv-
ed his look of utter indifference; but,
when he saw the money actually return
ed, his face frightened up, he rose
slowly, walked toward the honest miner
with slow and solemn step, and said:
"Young man, don't you feel awful lone
some in this country ?"-Paterson Guar

How to Read.

Thomas Wentworth Higginson says in
a recent number of the WOman's Journal ::
I was once called upon to prescribe in
tollectually for young girl of fair abili
ties, who showed no want of brains in
conversation, but had a perfect indiffer
ence to books. She read dutifully and
torpidly whatever was set before her
novels, travels, history, all were the
same; each page drove out the previous
page, and her memory was blank. Her
parents asked me to teach her to read; she
joined in the request, and 1 consented to
try the experiment, on the condition that
she would faithfully read single book in
the way l should direct. She consented.
1t was at the time of Kossuth's visit,
when everybody was talking about the
Hungarian revolution. The book chose
was Hungary in 1S4S," by Brace, book
of far more interest then than now. l
prescribed it in daily doses of one chap
ter. If possible she was to read that-the
chapters being short-but under no con-
ceivable circumstances was she to read
more than that. After each chapter she
was to put down, in blank book gave
her, some remark suggested by it. She
must mention something that had in
terested her, or seek the explanation of
some word, or anything else she pleased.
Her comment might be only to say that
Gorgey was a traitor, or to inquire how
his name should be pronounced; but at
least there must be one sentence of re-
mark per chapter. From time to time
was to see what she had written, and an
swer her questions, if any: This was the
prescription, and she took it courageously.
l knew in advance what would be the
greatest difficulty. 1t was to keep her to
one chapter. 1t seemed to her such a
mistake, such a waste of opportunity,
when she could so easily manage five or
six chapters in day. Had she done so,
all would have been lost, so was inexor
able. The consequence was that she
never failed to read her chapter; and
when she got to the end of it, for want
of anything better to do, she read it over
again, and went to work with her note
book. 1t was very nice note, book, and
she wrote beautiful hand. When
came to look over the pages, every few
days, I was astonished at the copiousness
and variety of her notes. On some days,
to be sure, there would be but a single
sentence, and that visibly written with
effect; but almost always there were ques-
tions, doubts and criticisms, all of which
1 met as could. found my own mind
taxed by hers, and finally read every
chapter carefully that might be ready
for her. And at the end she told me with
delight that for the first time in her life
she had read book.
Where was the magic of the process
1 suppose mainly in the restraint, the
moderate pace and the necessity of
writing something. "Reading," says my
Lord Bacon, "maketh full man, writing
an exact man." To clearly define and
systematic what you knOw-write.

Keeping Winter Fruit.

A correspondent inquiries for the best
way to keep winter apples and pears for
ordinary management, more particular
ly with reference to leaving them in open
bins or casing them tight in boxes, casks
or drawers" In answer we can state
that we have generally kept winter apples
in open bins or shelves, made in the CEN
ter of the fruit room, SO that the attend
ant may pass around on every side to pick
them over. The fruit room is separated
from the rest of the cellar by brick par
tition, is furnished with ventilating win
dows, which may be turned up or shut
down at pleasure, and the temperature
regulated nearly to freezing by means of
thermometers. This is the most con-
venient mode for ordinary use, when ap-
pies are wanted for daily supply About
once a month, or oftener if necessary,
they are picked over and the "specked'
or decayed ones removed, taking care to
disturb them as little as possible. 1t is
better if the owner can do this work him
self, as but few hired men will be suf-
ficiently careful, but will tumble the fruit
about needlesslv, and injure its appear
ance and keeping quality.
Fruit will keep better, however, if pro-
tected from the air, and from the con-
slant changes of temperature which cur
| rents OF air lmpart. Wrapping the apples
separately in paper, and simply placing
them on the shelf, we have found to'pro-
tect them from decay, a much larger
number, by actual count, remaining sound
than if subjected to ordinary exposure.
Apples will keep longer in barrels than in
bins for this reason, and the only objec-
ton to barreling is that they are excluded
from sight and examination, and some
times become badly rotted before their
condition is discovered. Drawers would
be better, if not so expensive.

Epfzootic.

Mr.. EDITOR: Nearly every man has
remedy for this disease, and we will give
free our experience. We have tested four
teen horses of our own. And have known
our remedies used in many cases and in all
with quick and sure success. First keep the
horse warm, in well ventilated stable; feed
on bran and soft food generally, (apples and
vegetables are good), and give him = OF of
Aliens Lung Balsam, or the contents of a
large spoon three times day; this will act
just as on humanity, cause the horse to
throw off the mucus and thus get relief. If
his Cough ia hard, give occasionally drench
of Davis Pain Killer, of l OF. Pain Killer to
pint OF warm water sweetencd with mo-
lasses. Give of this one or two swallows at
time, from the bottle. The first attack of
the disease is Bronchitis, and the drench of
Pain Killer will be of great service to quiet
and heal the Irritation. Battle with Pain
Killer the throat. In Cincinnati, where all
the horses have been sick, we know of no
treatment that has given quicker or more
sure relief. That which is good for man is
also good for the horse in similar affections
We advise all to try the remedies. They can
be had from most any drug store.

Swallowing Pennies.

If child swallows penny, should not
some purgative be given at once to help
expel it? No. 1t is very rare that any
harm comes in such cases, but there is
more danger when purgative is given
than when not given. We have had oc-
casion to observe this many times, and
no doubt others have. The first thought
of most parents, after child has swal-
lowed some insoluble substance, is to give
physic. This stimulates the bowels, in
ducing contraction, which in some in
stances is dangerous, and so softens the
fecal matter that the penny is more likely
to be entangled or lodged in the folds of
the intestines, in which case great dan
ger may result 1t is far better for the
child to eat freely of such food as shall
produce large fecal formation to sur
round the insoluble substance, in which
case the danger is verv slight. We once
knew child to swallow key an inch
and half long, which passed through
the body in forty-eight hours without
harm. On the other hand, we have
known cherry stone to produce death,
and grape seeds to produce serious intes-
final disorders. Children should early be
taught to use care and precaution in what
they take into their stomachs. Still the
accidental swallowing of insoluble sub.
stances should never lead to the unwise
practice of trying to physic it away. The
reason why there is little danger when
no physic is used is because the thick lin.
ing membrane of the bowels and the fe-
cal matter around the foreign body pre-

AN ACT OF JUsTICE.-Doubting Cas-
tie was sad stumbling block in the path
of Bunyan's Christian, though it couldn't
bar his way to Truth. We can sympa-
thize with the Pilgrim, for Doubt always
besets us when we are asked to believe
anything particularly extraordinary.
Consequently, when we heard, some
eighteen months ago, that a physician in
California had compounded, from the
juices and extracts of certain herbs found
there, medicine that cured almost every
variety of blood disease, We were incred-
ulous. Since then we have had opportu-
mites of testing the accuracy of the re-
port, and are free to admit that our
doubts have vanished. Seeing what we
have seen, knowing what we know, it is
impossible for us to question the RENE
dial properties of DR.. WALKER's VINE
GAR BITTERs. That this famous vegeta-
BILE Tonic, Alternative, and Antiseptic, is
specific for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint,
Chronic Constipation, Fever and Ague,
Bilious Intermittents, Scrofulous Taint
in the Blood, Incipient Constipation,
Local and General Debility, Rheumatism,
Sick Headache, and diseases of the Kid
neys, seems TO be a matter beyond the
pale of controversy-d fired fIct in 11edi-
cal history. The statements of friends, in
whose veracity and intelligence we have
full confidence, corroborated by our own
personal observation, compel us to admit
the surprising merits of the preparation.

Manuring for Hay.

1t does not seem to be as generally ap.
preciated as the fact ought to be, that il
pays just as well to manure a crop OF
grass as any other crop. A farmer would
on no account plant potatoes or corn
without liberal dressing of manure, yet
will risk his grass crop from year to year
without either any manure at all, or else
the most meagre dressing imaginable.
We have said that it pays as well to
manure it as any other crop; but we think
we might go further and say that, as a
general rule, it pays better to manure for
grass than for anything else. 1t is very
rarely that manuring for the generality
OF farm crops will double the product,
but we have seen cases where fully a
double crop of hay was the result of a
liberal supply of manure.
The proper care of grass fields is yet
but imperfectly understood in many
quarters. 1t is quite unusual for many
grass fields to yield more than three
seasons before it requires to be broken
mp and put down with some other crop.
IL is found that the most valuable species
die out for want of nutrition, and coarse
heritage, which thrives on poorer ground,
grows up and takes the place of the de-
sirable article; and thus arises the neces-

mont tariff, of Republican or Democrat,

non-tarif, of Republican or Democrat,
has the magnitude of this.
How can ministers hold their peace?
Thank God, most of them do not. To
stand by burning city, with its walls
toppling right and left, with the hard
won property of men being licked up by
the flames, with houseless women and
children crouching around among the
poor memorials of their homes, with
heartless human vultures preying on the
spoils, with the cry of horror only drown
ed by the louder roar of storm of fire
to stand by idle and apathetic there were
easier, it seems to me, than to be indiffer-
ent to the ravages of drunkenness.
Parents have concern in this. The
moderate drinker is giving the sanction
of his acts and the weight of his example,
| perhaps, to strengthen tendencies he has
already communicated to the physical
system of his child. ANY one may loosen
the stone from the hillside; but, once let
go, he cannot call it back to his hand.
And thoughtless parent may give the
earliest impulse to the appetite OF child,
and be powerless, even with tears, and
groans, and prayers, to check it when the
| child is mature and an inebriate. Oh!
parents, stop and think! And, meantime,
| God speed the men and the societies that
are trying to form opinion, correct errors,
check vice, reclaim the fallen, and save
the endangered; and who are doing this
under cold contempt, sometimes, of the
very persons who should have the deep
est interest in their success. 1t is small
comfort to know that drinkers are the
victims of a great system of fraud and
deception-twot thirds of the Madeira,
champagne, and port being fraudulent,
talf that which is called wine blushing
lie, and great portion of the so-called
spirits the cheapest substitutes for alco-

tion of Scripture, there is "woe to the

GABLE SoaEw WIRE Doors AND SHoEs.-A
word of explanation may not be out Of place.
The cable wire acts as q screw, is strong and
firm, and at the same time is elastic and
comfortable. 1t is much preferable to the
old method of pegging, and quite as soft and
elastic as sewed work, but much stronger
and less liable to rip, and much less expen-
sive. We have tried the cable screw shoe,
which has proved all that is claimed for it.
The increase in this new method of manu-
featuring boots and shoes is very rapid, and
promises to supersede the wood peg and
waxed thread.-The Standard, Chicago.
