high time the people knew it, that they may

Government usually is, we have no idea this

have confidence enough in General Grant to
hope he will demand immediate reparation in
this case and insist upon it. Should he do less
than this, he is certainly unfit for chief magis-
trate of this nation, and ought to be disposed.
American citizens must have the same degree
Of protection. both at home and abroad, which
kingly governments accord to their subjects;
and the fact had just as we'll be realized and
acted upon first as last. Of this unprecedented
outrage the n. Y. Herald says:
"The whole nation cries for reparaton or retribu-

the surrender OF the murdersrs, retrbution at the

BOOB InCelIars,

Every farmer knows, or thinks he
knows, how to take care Of potatoes for
winter use, but we viii describe briefly
our methods. Dig the potatoes, if posi-
BILE, when the ground is dry; but II this
cannotor has not been done. they should
be allowed to dry on barn floor, the
adhering soil removed, and then the
roOts may be carried to the cellar. We
provide large boxes, which viii hold
about twenty bushels each (cast-off tree
boxes, raise them a few inches from the
cement floor by cross pieces of scantling,
and then fill them with the clean and
dry potatoes. If there happen to be
few wide cracks In the bottom of the
box, the ventilation viii be better and
if the tubers are clean and the cellar
cool, there viii be little of the rot
Beets, turnips, carrots and parsnips
viii not keep fresh in this way, as they
have not the impervious skin of the
potato. Our plan is to pack them IN
barrels, or goods-boxes procured from
the county stores. They viii shrivel
and spoil if the moisture is not retained
in them by some substance to pack them
in, or to fill the interstiees. Finely
broken and moderately damp moss is
best for this purpose but in its absence,
saw-dust answers quite well. At this
season of the year, there is a great deal
of this material in the ice-house, after
the removal of the ice, that is quite
damp enough for use. Put IN a layer
or two of the roots then scatter enough
of the saw-dust over them to fill the
interstices, then another layer, and SO
on. In barrels, more roots may be
put in at time, the saw-dust being
shaken among them by rocking the
barrels. Packed in this way, we have
seen beets taken out one full year after
they were put in, as fresh as the day
they were lifted from the soil while
those which were placed uncovered OF

The Charm Of Reserve.

Do not be too anxious to give away
yourself, to wear your heart upon your
sleeve. It is not only unwise, it is
wrong to make your secret soul common
property. For you bring the delicate
things of the heart into contempt by ex-
posing them to those who cannot under
stand them. If you throw pearls be-
fore swine, they will turn again and
rsnd you. Nor, again, should you claim
too much. openness, as a duty due to you,
from your child, your friend, your wife,
or your husband Much Of the charm
of life is ruined by exacting demands Of
confidence. Respect the natural mo-
dssty OF the soul its more delicate

when they are touched too rudely.
Wait with curious love-with eager in

harmonious, the revelation will come of

Those who wish to destroy all mystery

How to Get the Front Door Opened.


There is no end to the effectiveness of
a good knocking on the outside of
house. We remember one cold. bitter,
miserable winter night when we came
home 1ate-and yet. not so very late
either, but it was so cold that everybody
had gone to bed in the big house in
which we lived and TO which we had no
latch-key. At the bell we pulled, we
pulled and we pulled, and the more we
pulled the more nobody came. At last
we were about giving up in despair and
going to the station-house or hotel,
when a policeman came along. ''You
can't make EN- hear, ehl'' said he.
''Now just wait a minute !" And then
he stepped into the street and picked
up a brick from pile near by. With
this he knocked, apparently very gently,
on the wall of the house. The effect
was magical As the dull, drum-like
booming resounded through the house,
every window was thrown open and
heads popped out on every story. A
dozen people were ready to let us IN, If
1 we would but knock no more. We
might even have entered at the back of
the honse had we been there. In such
a case as this bell was of no use at all ;
and as It is easy to see that it would be
inconvenient to carry cobble-stones or
bricks about with us, for they are not
always to be found in the street, what
is there that we can really depend upon
IN such emergencies but a knocking p
ScTi6ners.

How They Treat Broken Packages
in the London Post-Ohice.

There is no SAVIOR of Yankee baggage
smashing in this account of the tender
manner in which accidentally broken
parcels are treated in the London post
Office, and this was at Christmas, too,
when there is a great rush of mail mat
ter. They are borne away to a side
table, which is called "the hospital ~
and in this post-office infrmary two
clever surgeons dexterously stitch up
their wounds, set all their broken limbs
in splints, and in fine cure such Of them
as are at all durable, in a marvelously
short space of time. Some of the pa
tients seem past cure. Alas for the box
of bonbons that has burst open, and
the contents of which are brought
piecemeal into hospital, where the sur
geon receives them with shake of the
head. In extremis seems this doll
whose integuments have been torn of,
whose nose has been stove in, and one
Of whose neither limbs arrives some
time after the frame to which it belongs.
A bit of string tinkers up a box con-
tanning lump of plum cake half cssed
in sugar, but there is no cure for this
packet of Taddy's snuff, addressed in a
woman's handwriting to a woman, and
the contents, pervading the atmosphere
generally, set everybody n-sneezing.
Decidedly "open for inspection" is the
doll in this PARCEL; the head sticks up
out Of the paper, and something or
other has given madame a black eye.
A box of real roses, ssnt from France to
Scarborough, has got broken, and some
of the leaves fall on the surgeons table
as the delicate odor scents the air.
With tender finger he handles the
beautiful bouquet, and let rs hope the
fair one whose bosom it viii adorn to-
morrow night will scarcely be cognizant
Of the mishap The trussed fowl in
this package has not been seriously in
jured, nor has the snips in this other,
but the surgeon sniffs disgust at Its
high condition as he makes it fit foI
the road again. After all it is not SO
bad as the dead puppy which passed
through his hands the other night.
There is a smashed scent-bottle, whose
contents have been mainly absorbed by
a chignon addressed to a married lady.
A woolly dog, that barks snappishly
when he is handled, is half out OF his
paper kennel. a box of mistletoe has
seriously suffered, but the doctor Ge-
hulfe is dexterously to the front, and
cherry lips may yet be kissed under il
tomorrow night. Why didn't the gen.
tleman who sent the beautiful bouquet
to the lady in Surrey inclose it in 4
better box, and why, oh why was not
the dish of larks forwarded in some
thing more substantial than fragil,
case of paper, so as TO avert the anal
gamation into which they had entered
with the contents Of Master jack

Faces dim come crowding roHnd me-
In the silence Of the night,
As ] sit hzlf-dosinEs Hlccpints
By the hiekering taperr light.
Forms and faces crowd around me
That we're buried long age
And the long procession passes
But VIII come again, know
sons are old, and weak and feeble,
Some In childhood's bloom appear,
And listen through The stiffness,
II can their voices hear.
But they never speak unto me:
They but pass with noigeieas tread,
And often sigh to join them
As bow my weary head.
They are ever near unto me.
Though see them but at night
Those dim phantOma Of the bygone-
BY the Pickering taper's light
But the last that passes from me
Turns to me her clear blCe eyes,
And With appraised hand she pointsth
To the land beyond the skies
lis the form Of her who journeyed
By my side IN early youth
The angel who lii my footsteps
With her lamp Of love and truth.
She smiles - she passes by me-,
And my cares seem half removed,
For the thought revives and chs0rs me
That BY one I still arm loved.
So. wheneir I'm faint or weary,
Or my dropping spirits sink,
the gloomy thoughts put from me,
And upon that angel think.
And I bless the band Of phanto1ns
That come 20 me at night,
As ! sit alone and thinking

An oft-Told storv.

The story of the results of the whale
fishery for the past year, like an oft-told
tale, is almost precisely that of num-
Der Of previous years, one of ill-success
as to pecuniary returns. The year open
ed with fair prospects and good prices,
the Arctic disaster of 1871 having rem
dered firm tho prices for sperm and
whale oil and whalebone. But more
oil was imported than anticipated, and
there was less home demand. It is
stated that of the sixty-five complsted
voyages arrived at home ports during
1872, but one or two made handsome
profits, several have only saved them
selves from loss, and most of them have
lost money. The whaling feet, too,
continues to decrease by the loss and
sale of vessels, few being added. OF
the twenty vessels now in port at New
Bedford half are known to be for sale,
and the same is true of the vessels in
port at New London.
The number of whalers now cruising
is the same as it was a year ago, 156,
and the number from New Bedford is
Ill, only two more than a year ago.
The sperm whalers in the different
oceans have met with only moderate
success, but one branch of whaling,
however, has been successful. The
number of vessels expected to arrive at
home ports the coming year is about
fifty, exclusive of Provincetown and
New London vessels. According to the
New Bedford Standard the importation
of catchings the past year were 45, 474
barrels of sperm oil, 39, no barrels of
whale oil, and 210,876 pounds whale
bone; being an increase of 5,94O bar
rels sperm oil, and decrease Of Al, 362
barrels whale oil, and a decrease of 389, =
779 pounds whalebone, when compared
with the catchings of 1871.
