Burglars In the House.

There is peculiar saddening effect,
says the Danbury Ncws, in awaking in
the night at hearing burglars at work
in your house. This was the case with
Mr.. Henry on South street. AS soon as
he detected the noise, which appeared to
be down stairs, he softly crept out of
bed, and commenced to prowl around
for match. His wife was soon awakened
by the same noise, and believing that
something was the matter with the chill
dren who slept in the next room, she
carefully withdrew from bed, 80 not to
disturb her husband, and started for
the door. An instant later they collided.
What he Thought was evident enough.
All the hard earnings of an arduous
life were at stake. Before him stood
one or more robbers. With an exclama-
ton of condensed eloquence he clinched
her What she thought is not quite so
evident, but it was doubtless of her
husband and children, and being pluckv
withal, she at once twined her fingers in
his hair, and gave him wench that
made him think of death. Then both

in hair, she shook his head against the
floor with an energy and courage that
would have undoubtedly filled him to
Overlooking with admiration, had he
known who it was, or had he known
at all. Every time she raped
him she shreked for help, and in brief
space of time the children and Mrs.
Eben Davis, who lives down stairs,
We're on the scene. Mrs. Davis was not
dressed for comp ny, but in the excite
ment she didn't mind adornment. She
had candle in one hand, and long
carving fork in the other, and was about
to drive the latter into the legs of the
william, when recognition ensued. Then
Mrs. Davis laid down her candle in one
direction, and the fork in another, and
Immediately returned to her own apart
ments, her yellow flannel hnigt- cap, as
it shot down the stairs, being the first
thing that Mr.. Henry saw on springing
to his feet The children were returned
to their room, and put to bed, but the
parents did not resume their couch.
It was so pleasant that Mr., Henry con
GUIDED to remain up the rest of the
night and enjoy the scenery. and Mrs.
Henry thought it best to stay up. too,
SO to change the cloths on his head as
)ften as POSSIBLE.

Catching Squirrels ON a Fish Hook.

have caught with a hook and line,
says a correspondent of Boston paper,
nearly all kinds of fish, besides turtles,
frogs, ducks, and other fowl, but while
fishing for trout in the Wellingsley
brook i'll Plymouth, Mass, / discovered
"A new field of sport. While | had just
taken out a splendid trout from under a
rock, and was about batting my hook, /
saw a good sized squirrel jump upon
the rock. My pole was of good length,
and / improved the opportunity by
placing the hook near his head. At first
he brushed it away with his paw but
after while, either out of spite or for
love of the sport, made Jump and took
the hook in his mouth. At that moment
:" drew upon him, and soon saw him
dangling twenty feet in the air. Such
dancing and climbing up the line and
then down the pole was lesson to com
mon fish. | finally laid the pole on the
ground, and then came a series of gyra-
tons and various antics. Not being
acquainted with that kind OF fish, and
fearing that any attempt to disengage
the hook would he bad for the fingers,
| shouldered my fish-pole and marched
to the blacksmith shop near by, where,
with the aid of two assistants and a
pair of blacksmith's tongs, the hook
was detached and the fellow set at lib
erty. Not three minutes later, how
ever, he was capering along the fence

Serpents In india.

An English writer, evidently not hav-
ing before his eyes the recent debate in
Parliament in regard to the great des-
truction of life in India by wild beasts,
or else remembering that about Bengal
there are some GO, 600, 900 people, and
that, therefore, 10000 in a year killed
are not many, writes to the London
Times to say that tigers flee, rather
than seek, the dwellings, of men. This
is certainly natural, seeing that mn ordi-
nary an.eating tiger wants but one
man Mt time, and afford to lie and
wait by the side OF any road throug
which there is traffic until some lonely
and therefore, eligible person comes
along. That tigers learn to do this
there is no manner o. doubt, but yet il
is true, as the corr espondent of the
Times says, that the loss of many lives
is due to the carelessness of the natives.
They have hard work to do, in cutting
bamboo, for instance, and therefore do
it. though it takes them into dangerous
places. Men and women go singly in
to the very heart of the jungle to work
so anxious although the Times CORES

to protect themselves with, for since the
rebellion they have been deprived of
weapons, and, therefore, they are often

snmably food is easily accessible, the
Times correspondent has known no in
stance of the devastation Of village by
a name eating tiger. What the cores
pondent apparently wonders at is, that

A Sh wer of Strange Reptiles.

A gentleman from Elk River, in Sher-
burne county, Minnesota, tells of a
shower of reptiles which fell upon n
meadow on the farm of Edward Upham,
near that place, on the morning of the
81 inst, during heavy rain and wind
storm. The meadow, he says, was
thickly strewn with the bodies of the
strange creatures, none of which were
discovered alive. They are described
as about six inches long, having gills
and fins like fish, but having also four
legs each, about two inches long, and
terminating in claws. One person who
saw them declared that like creatures
exist only in the waters of Mexican
lakes, from whence he supposed they
might have been caught up in water
spout and been carried along by the
wind until they were dropped on Mr..
Upham's meadow.

Effects OF Tobacco,

The use OF tobacco has so much ex-
tended itself in the present generation
that we are all obliged TO make decis-
ion for ourselves ON the ancient contro-
yersy between its friends andenemies We
cannot form n reasonable opinion about
tobacco without bearing in mind that it
produces, according TO circumstances,
one of two entirely distinct and even
states of the body it acts rs stimulant,
IN other states as narcotic. People
who have dislike to smoking affirm
that il Supplies but this assertion, ut
least SO far as the temporary conse-
quences are concerned, is not supported
by experience. Most of the really bril-
liant conversations that have listened
TO have been accompanied by clouds of
tobacco smoke and great deal of the
best literary composition that is pro
duced by contemporary authors Is
wrought by men who are actually smok
ing while they work. My own expert.
ence is that very moderate smoking acts
rs pleasant stimulus upon the brain,
while it produces n temporary lassitude
of the musular system, not perceptible
IN times OF rest, but an appreciable him
drance in times of muscular exertion.
1t is better, therefore, for men who feel
these effects from tobacco to avoid il
when they are in exercise, and to use it
only when the body rests, and the mind
labors. Pray remember however, that
tins Is the experience of an exceedingly
modrrote smoker, who has not yet got
himself into the general condition OF
body which is brought on by lnrgei
indulgence in tobacco. On the other
hand, 1t is evident that men engaged
in physical labor find II muscular stimn-
lus in occasional smoking and not
temporary lasstude. 1t is probable
that the effect varies with its individual
cases, and is never precisely what our
own experience lead us to imagine.
For excessive smokers, it appears to be
little more than the tranquillizing of a
sort of uneasiness, the continual salts
faction of continual craving. / have
never been able to ascertain that mode
rate diminished intellectual force but
| have observed in excessive smokers a
decided weakening of the will, and
preference for talking about WORK to
the effort of actual labor. The opinions
of medical men on this subject are SO
much at variance that their science only
adds to our uncertainty. One doctor
tells me that the most moderate smok-
ing is unquestionably injurious, while
others affirm that it is innocent. Speak
ing simply from self-obs. vation, | find
that in my own case tea and coffee are
far more perilous than tobacco. From

Objects OF the Order or the Patrons Of
uusbandry.

The question is often asked, what il
the object Of the Patrons Of Husbandry,
and what are they laboring to accom-
plish a? An organ Of the order tells M
M follows; The order proposes to
meet dishonest, and injustice, corrup-
tion and tyranny, rings, cliques, cor
ners, combinations, monopolies and the
most outrageous and villainous system
known to free people.
Under the operation OF this system
the rich are every day becoming richer,
and the poor are every day becoming
poorer
The ends il seeks to accomplish by
organization are all good, and intended
to inure to the benefit of the masses of
the people who constitute the wealth
creating power in the land.
Ralrond, manufacturing and other
moneyrd monopolies of the country, are
absorbing all the power, political ms well
ms financial, which has been converted
into an engine of oppression to the Ia
boring classes. The CALLING oppression
TO the agricultural masses, and those
Immediately dependent upon them, has
become too intolerable longer to be
borne.
The toiling millions who have made
the country what it is, and by the sweat
of the brow support their government
grand, majestic, powerful command
ing obedience at home feared and re-
spected abroad-propose, now that for.
bearance has ceased to be virtue, to
meet organization, in manly conflict /;
to meet combination by combination,
and check injustice, overtnrn the power
of tyranny, arrest corruption in high
places, and substitute system of legi'-
lation for the people, instead of the
present system of class legislation which
has driven so many against whom it
discrminates to the very threshold of
bankruptcy, and to which the greater
number OF most oppressive wrongs are
traceable.
1t proposes, hy every conceivable
means that can be employed in that di-
rection, to elevate the standard of edu-
cation among the agricultural masses,
and to stimulate the oncoming genera
ton of both sexes to aspire to the
highest possible attainments and the
purest excellence in their respective
spheres, and to promote the intellectual,
social and moral welfare of its member

The Two Captains.

A quarter of century ago, a New
Hampshire, town boosted of a couple
of fed pieces, and fire engine of
limited capacity. Companies were or
ganized to take care of each, with Cap
tain Smith, the auctioneer, heading the
military, and Captain Jones, tinsmith,
the civic command. Both men were of
marked peculiarities, outspoken and
positive, and they were politica, and
personal enemies. One day they had
been wrangling before crowd of vii
layers, and Jones, getting angry, turn
ing to leave, said, with sneer, eff
any man wants commission in the ar
tillery, he must call on Captain Smith |"
This raised laugh at tie expense of
the military hero, the ranks of his com
pany having been swelled by the enlist
ment of very young recruits, but keep
ing perfectly cool, he pointed his long
right arm at the retreating fremen, and
shouted, " Everybody wanting promo
ton in the squirt-gun company will fol-
low Captain Jones !" 1t was a long
time before Captain Jones of the
heard the last of the en-
counter, in which the heavy ordnance
won positive victory.

anything particularly extraordinary.
Consequently, when we heard, some
eighteen months ago, that physician
in California had compounded, from the
juices and extracts of certain herbs
found there, medicine that cured al
most every variety of blood disease, we
were incredulous. Since then we have
had opportunities of testing the ac-

Fancy Aprons and Blouse Waists.

Pretty aprons of Swiss and organdy
muslin are being made up as additions
to house toilets. Those trimmed with
pockets of embroidery, edged with Val
enciennes, are very dressy. Bretelles
or tichus to match are sometimes worn
with these aprons. They are composed
almost entirely of Valenciennes. The
belt is covered by ribbon sash, the
ends trimmed with Valenciennes. Bows
of ribbon of the same color and shade
ornament the pockets aud form shoulder
knots.
Swiss muslin blouse waists are worn
with colored skirts for afternoon and
demi-toilet in the evening. The adj
dition of black Chantilly lace tichu
or sacque produces very dressy effect.
A colored sash should always be worn
with black skirt, when lace sacaue
is worn over a white waist Ladies of
a decidedly matronly appearance, how
ever, should never encircle their waists
with a colored sash when the waist
is white and the skirt black.
