They are failure. You can not make
them understand you entirely; and, in
spite of all your teachings, though he
may make your kitchen clean as posi-
BILE for it to be, he will, nevertheless,
surprise you some day by washing in
the bread-pan, or drying his head with
your damask table linen. He also has
his own peculiar manner of doing all
things and he sprinkies the linen he is
to iron by taking his mouth full of wa
ter and blowing it over the cloth, dam
pering it very evenly. We can stand
that, even though it be towels and nap
kins but we naturally object when he
takes q mouthful of pudding sauce and
spilters that all over your pudding.

picking up unconsidered trihes and
hiding them away, all the while wear
ing the most placid smile and innocent
look. Besides, they sometimes take a
Ratchet and chop you up little, if they
think you have money. About year
ago, Mr.. Sauf1y, in Oakland, let his
cook know that he had $1,000 in the
house; and that night said cook, with
another Chinaman, went in and chopped

tin for the rest of his DAYS.

A Homemade Wind Mill.

Here is a plan for making a home
made wind mill, which we find in an ex-
change, credited to J. Corwin, of New
Jersey. !:
Farmers and others can in many
cases, construct wind mill themselves
for a 1.-THE of the cost of the patented
plans, that for certain purposes, would
suit them better, because easily kept in
repair. Here is the suggestion of a
plan of which it may be said that it can
be constructed (for churning, stock
pumping, &c. } for five dollars, beside
the material that the farmer can find on
his farm and his own labor, excepting
also the sails which properly belong to
the maintenance. OF course to obtain
such result the simplest possible plan
must be devised, and all 6 improve
ments rigidly ruled out. 1t consists
of an upright post supporting an up
right shaft, having hub on top carry
ing three horizontal arms, to each OF
which are hinged light rectangular
frames covered with heavy muslin or
light canvas, regulated to swing one di-
rection only from horizontal to perpen-
dicular. The sails are carried with the
wind, at right angles to it, and return
edgeways against the wind. The post
may lean two feet at the top, SO as to
shorten the connection of the upper
box with it. The lower bearing may be
in post set in even with the ground,
under the upper bearing. The pulley,
| four feet in diameter, secured near the
bottom of the shaft, may havea smooth
true groove for rope band burnt into
| it's circumference by GO stone bar, its
one end resting in hole in the post,
the other in the hand, the section il
contrct with the wheel being red hot
A mill on this plan can, at moderate
cost, be constructed for milling.

Character in the Opening and Shutting
of Door

An engenious correspondent of the
Scientific American has discovered a
new gauge for measuring mems charac-
tiers by the manner in which they open
aud shut doors. Out of 1000 persons
recorded, 1856 opened the door and shut
it carefully when they came in and when
they went out without much noise; 245
opened it in a hurry, and made an at
tempt to shut it, but did not, and mere
ly pulled it to when they went out 302
didnot attemptto shut it at all, either on
coming In or going out; So left it open
when they came in, but. when reminded
of the fact, made ample apology, and
shut it when they went out; 102 opened
it in great hurry and slammed it
violently, but left it open when they
went out 20 came in with 'How do
you do, sir ?" OF "Good morning !" or
''Gocd evening, sir r and all of these
went through the operation of wiping
their feet on the mat, but did not shut
the door when they went in or when
they came out. We have employed
men out of all these classes, and during
that time have had an opportunity of
judging of their merits. The first class
of 335-were those who knew their
trade and commenced and finished their
work In a methodical manner were
quiet and had little to say in their work
ing hours, and were well approved by
those for whom they did their work.
They were punctual to time, and left
nothing undone which they were order
ed to do. They did not complain about
trifies, and in all respects they were re-
liable men, and were kind and obliging
in their general conduct.

Chan ges of Meanings.

1t Is do doubt perfectly true that, in
all the institutions of the nations which
principally interest us. and particular
in such OF their institutions as have to
do with law and government, there is a
constant tendency to the rejection Of
distinctions, and to the simDlification Of
laws. This Is due tO q variety of causes.
In the first pigc.. tly societies in QuCs-
ton have n tendency to increase. The
different kingdoms into which our own
and the other great European nations
were subdIvided IN the early stages of
our history gradually ran into each
other. The growth of wealth. and
and changes in the habits of life pro-
ceeding from an infinite number of
causes, not only rendered old institu-
tons unsuitable for later times, but in
many eases made them mintelligibIe.
Thus, for instance, the word murder.
which for centuriCs has been the name
of crime, was, It seems, originally the
name of fine laid upon a township. in
which n person unknown was found
slain, unless the legal presumption that
the uukuOwn man was Dane could be
disprOved by positive testimony that he
was an Engishnau which was called q
" pr- a-ujmcnt yf nr-'.shrv." The
strange distinction introduced in favor
OF the Danes, and maintained IL favor
of the French, was not finally removed
till the fourteenth year OF Edward III
By that time the presentmeut of En-.
glishTv had become Uume0uipg and was
abolished, and the name of tine fine had
passed into the name Of the crime il
respect of which the fine was imposed.
This was one case out Of q multitude oil
the growth of equality, by the rejection
of a distinction between the murder OF
men of different races which had be
come Senseless.

German Liberality and French Econ
Omy

A London correspondent tells the
following anecdote: M. POuyer-Q uer-
tier, the finance minister of France,
having occasion to go to Berlin to treat
with Bismarck for the evacuation of the
departments about Paris by the German
troops, incidentally complained of the
extortionate railway fares that were
charged him on his journey. GLOW do
you make that out ?' asked Prince Bis
marck. We'll" said NJ. Pouyer- Quer-
tier in reply, 81 came in a French car
riage, and as the cost of conveyance
alone from Aixla-Chapelle to Berlin I
was charged 1000 francs" The prince
turned to the general director of Ger
man railways, and received the reply
that it was, in fact, dear, but that it
was the regular fare. Next day M.
Pouyer-Quertier set out on his return
to France. The secretary, who was
intrusted with the payment of the
travelling expenses, went to the ticket
Office to pay the home fare, and put
down q 1,000-franc note. 81 beg your
pardon" said the German employee,
''the French minister owes nothing
The 1000 francs you paid for him at
Aix-la-C hapelle was for return ticket. -
NJ Pouyer-Quertier laughed, stepped
into the carriage, and left. At the
Brandenburg station six servants in
livery opened the door and informed M.
Pouyer-Quertier that breakfast was
ready. The party entered saloon which
had been fitted up for the occasion,
where sumptuous breakfast was served.
When the secretary asked for the bill,
in the expectation that hi~h charge
would be made, the answer was, 81 beg
your pardon, the breakfast was includ-
ed in the 200 francs which you paid at
Aix-la- Chapelle At Hanover the same
thing was repeated, no less sumptuous
dinner being supplied, the charge fo1
which was again included in the 1000
francs paid at Aix-la- Chapelle and
when NJ. Pouyer-Quertier left the din
ing-room of the Hanover station he
could not refrain from sending Prince
Bismarck dispatch thanking him fo1
the ingenious manner in which he, q
German grand seigneur, had replied tc

anxious to be economical in dealing
with his cOuntry's money

Look Where You're Going.

If you intend to marry, if you think
your happiness will be increased and
your interests be advanced by matri-
mony, be sure and 'look where you're
going" Join yourself in union with no
woman who is selfish, for she will
sacrifice you with no one who is tickle,
for she will become estranged have
naught to do with a proud one, for she
will ruin you, leave a coquette to the
fools who futter around her; let her
own fireside accommodate scold and
flee from woman who loves scandal as
you would fee from the evil one
"Look where you're going" will sum it
all up. Young ladies, when you are
surrounded by dashing men, when the
tones of love and the words of compli-
ments float out together, when you are
excited by the movement of the whirling
waltz or melted by the tenderness of the
mellow music, arrest yourself in that
rosy atmosphere of delight, and '1ook
where you are going" When the
darling hand is pressing yours, or your
delicate tresses are being lifted by him
you fancy he loves you, when the moon
light invites to trusting and the stars
seem to breathe out innocence, listen
with caution to the words you hear,
gaze into your heart unshrinkingly, and
''look where you're going"

hnlnha SIS.

Some years ago there vas IL student
mt the Theological Sem nary ut Anlover
who had an excellent opinion Of his
own talents On ono occasion he asked
the professor who taught elocution at
the time. What do [ especially need
to learn in this department 90 You
ought first to learn to read said the
professor. "Ohl ] can read now, !"
replied the student The professor
handed the young man y Testament,
and pointing to the tweuty-fiftI verso Of
the twentv-foul-sh chapter of Luke's
Gospel, he asked him to rea| that.
The student read "Then he said unto
them, o fools, AMI slow of heart to be-
IicUe all that the prophets lave spoken, +"
- All, said the Professor, they were
fools for believing the prophets, We're
they?" o. course that was not right,
and SO the young man tried again. 80
fools. and slow of heart to believe all
that the prophets have spoken. 1.-The
prophets, then are sometimes liars? 9
asked the professor. Ono, % fools
and slow of heart to believe all that the
prophets have spoken. According to
this readipo," the professor suggested,
the prophets are notorious LIARS. &
This was not q satisfactory conclusion,
and so another trial was made 40
fools, and slow Of heart to believe all
the prophets hare spoken" ct see
now" said the professor: " the
prophets wrote the truth, but they
spoke lies. This last criticism dis
couraged the student, and he acknow-
lodged that he did not know how to
read. The difficulty lies in the fact
that the words .'slow of heart to be-
heve' applies to the whole of the latter
part of the sentence, and emphasis on
any particular word entirely destroys
meaning.

INCONSISTENCY.

Against the curtained pane, beloved,
The snow beats thick and fast
The wild winds sorrowful refrain
Is telling of the past
And in the old familiar chair.
Beside the hearth-ires glow,
SIT and sing the tender air
You loved 50 long ago.
All, often since the springs, beloved
Have bloomed above your rest,
l breathe the sweet old song that sings
Itself within my breast
As children, in the cherries days
When winter darby lowers.
Retrace the gardens sodden ways,
And talk of last years flowers.
1t never seemed to sou beloved,
When we walked land in hand,
Amid the sunshine and the dew
OF yogIth's enchanted land
it never seemed to you or me
That could sing or smile
If you were lying silently
Within your grave the while.
We thought we could not live, beloved
If we were torn apart
That earth would have no more to give
To either stricken heart
Alas, the change that time has wrought
Your grave has held you long,
And in home where you are not,
I sing the dear old song!
Do yOu look back to me, beloved,
From oUt your happy sphere,
And deem me false, that can be
Alive, and YOU not here?
Death does not always bring its balm
To every aching i'll
Life may outlast its dearest chasm,
And heart-breaks does not kill.
1t would have been the same, beloved,
Had been first to die
Another love had worn your name,
More dear, perchance, than I;
All, after all these weary years,
Would You more constant be?
And would you drop these bitter tears,
And sing the song for me?

Facts About Bermuda Grass.

Some years since DR.. St. Julian
RaEenel of Charleston, related to the
writer some extraordinary results of ex-
periments made by him with chemical
manures upon Bermuda grass. This
was some years before the announce
ment of Ville's theory. My attention
having been again turned to this grass,
wrote recently to DR.. Ravenel, asking
a repetition of the results of the expert
ment referred to- He replies as fol-
1ows:-
"Before the war, made small bed
in the garden extremely rich, and plant
ed it very thick with Bermuda grass
roots watered it with weak solution of
phosphates and nitrates of the alkalies,
and when it was about two feet high,
cut and dried it. made several cut
ting, and at the end of the summer, the
hay from it was at the rate of sixteen
tons to the acre, if / remember Alright. "
/ do not recollect the actual yield as
stated at the time DR.. Ravanel, but it
was enormous.
When cotton was the sole crop of the
planter, it would have produced no other
effect than derision, to have made the
statement public. In fact, any one who
pointed out way OF neIp1nS Bermuda
grass to grow, would have been con-
sidered to be public enemy.
But things are different now. Though
cotton is, and will be our chief staple,
we have learned that there are other
things of agricultural value besides
cotton.
DR.. Ravenel is man of exact science
the associate of Agassiz-careful in
experiment, and scrupulously correct in
announcements results. This instance
is a purely scientific experiment. 1t
remains for practical men to make q
practical use of it. But those who have
Bermuda grass on the plantations take
an acre or half of it, top-dress it heavily
with manure, tearing the sod previously
with coulter, and then narrowing in
the manure and smoothing with roller.
The result in hay will probably produce
establishment.
