prove successful, but be considered, on my
part, as a special favor conferred" And, SC
saving, Mr.. Robertson stalked maj jestically out
of the room.
An hour later, Lizzie Gray was on her way
to the sombre looking residence OF Jacob
! Mason.
Still an hour later Theodore entered MS
fathers handsome parlor with the customary
little package of sweeties for his favorite.
"Where's Lizzie?" he asked, as he dlscov'
cred his sister sitting in his favorites accus'
toned seat
"Gone home," was the laconic reply.
"Home !-wh-what do you mean, EllaT
"Gonc to live with one Jacob Mason" said
Ella, resuming her thrilling novel Of "The
Dismal Dragon. or the Reeking Blade" by
Corncobb, jr.
"Do, Ella, have little politeness and put
aside that book while am addressing you,
said Theodore.
"How unreasonable you are, brother" said
Ella, with a languid sigh. "Put aside the
book, indeed! won't do it $50 there!
"Ella," said Theodore, approaching his sen,
timental sister, pulling the book down and
looking angrily into her face, "you have had
more to do with this heartless treatment OF
the poor orphan, than everybody put together.
You have teased and tormented father on the
subject of Lizzie's expulsion for the last
month. If jealousy prompted the course you
have taken, assure you that it was labor
lost; for she had no intention Of robbing you
ofany of your lovers, having possession, her
self, of the heart affections of a man who will
prove himself worthier of her love, than all
ryour dandy fortune-hunrers put together; )"
and, before Ella could reply, he seized his hat
and left the room in search of his father.

on this plan, and if we effect this reformation
it is great deal.
THE POLITICAL QUESTIONS.
Reporter-W do the Grangers have to
say on the political questions of the day.
Mr.. L.-Well there is nothing political IN
our organic law, and we do not intend to dab
BILE in politics. There is no Disgusting one
thing, though ; and that is that the farmers
are all going to vote together. They will, OF
course vote en- masse for that measure which

CHAPTER II.
"Into each life some rain must fall,
Some DAYS will be dark and dreary."


Some days will be dark and dreary.'
Things went along tolerably we'll at the
Robertson Mansion until the approach of
spring. Mr.. Robertson continued to talk bus
iness everywhere, at all times and upon all oc-
sions Mrs. Gray had completely won the
hearts of her interesting little charge, and so
superintended the entire household machinery,
that everything went along "like clock work"
and to dissatisfaction ofall parties concerned ;
Theodore and Lizzie were becoming more and
more inseparably connected, and Mr.. Jacob
Mason's prayers and psalm singing persis-
tently continued.
The sudden death of even so humble wo-
man as poor Mrs. Gray threw everything into
confusion, and seemed, for a time, to make
everybody unhappy about the house. Poor
Lizzie was almost beside herself with grief,
and, for many a long day, it was whispered
about town, that her mothers sudden death
had completely dethroned her reason. The
poor girl struggled back into the light, how
ever, and became herself again after the lapse
of several months.
Upon her return to the domestic circle, she
became, in the course Of time, vaguely con-
scious of reserve and GOODNESS on the part of
the family toward her. Mr.. Robertsons s
daughters were too lady-like to offend her by

HONESTY REWARDED.

A few days ago business man of Detroit
lost bis pocketbook, but did not discover the
loss until he reached his store, several blocks
distant. As it contained some receipts and
other papers of no value except to the firm,
he retraced his steps under the impression
that under the circumstances the finder would
probably return it. Nor was he mistaken,
for upon reaching the dock small ''gamin"
rushed up with the exclamation, "Mister, here
is your pocketbook !" and then stood expect
antly by.
The gentleman inquired how it happened
that he (the boy) knew to whom to return it,
and why he returned it at all To which the
little fellow (winking silly at fellow boot.
black who had assisted at the examination OF
its contents, and was to "go shares" in the re-
ward) replied that he ascertained the owner
by reading one of the "notes" Gt was re-
ceipt) and that as to keeping it, ne "never
stole muffin in his life" (another wink.)
He then started to walk away, but was
stopped by the gentleman, who thus spoke:
"You are an honest boy. You have re.
turned me this pocketbook which you are we'll
aware, is not worth dollar. Still | recog'
nize the fact that an honest boy is the noblest
work of God. You should be rewarded, and
you shall be-" (The boy put in modest dis
claimer.)
Il know the consequences should fail to
reward you handsomely. l once lost my
portemonaie, containing thirty-seven cents and
q business card, in street car. That night a
man brought it to my store, and | gave him
the thirty-seven cents for his trouble. All
the newspapers looked into the following
week contained items to the effect that, "Nlr
Jones, a poor but honest man, picked up in
the street car on such an evening, plethoric
pocketbook, containing, besides valuable pa
pers, checks, drafts, etc., etc., large sum Of
money. The address Of well-known mer

Immediately took return car to restore the
property to its owner. Upon reaching the
store he found the merchant in his private Of
flee, RECALLING himself and several friends on
imported wine and cigars, and was rewarded
for his honesty by the merchant handing him
the enormous sum of three shillings, which
as his car fares amounted to ten cents, would
leave him twenty-seven cents compensation
for an hour lost from needed rest"
"Now, my lad, you can't play that trick on
me. I'm not going to be called mean and
stingy again. don't happen to have any
money with me, and this pocketbook doesn' t
contain picayune. It is asking too much
to request you to drop in my store this after
noon, but here comes friend who will loan
me ten dollars. Take it, my boy, and if you
find pocketbook of mine again, keep it for
your honestly"

The tobacco as it comes from the plantation
is dried to the utmost, and passed through a
mill in which revolving cylinder armed with
small projections CRATES it into tiny particles.
It is then by the same machine sifted through
a series of sieves similar to those of wheat
fan, that which, is left on the upper and coarser
sieves being passed and repassed through the
mill until sufficiently fine for use. For this
it is unnecessary to stem the leaves, the re-
fuse stems being themselves used in the man.
ufacture of the inferior grades, and the sweep
ngs of the stemming-room are devoted to a
like purpose These last are first carefully
examined, to make sure that nothing is left
in them to break the mill, no nails or stones
to injure the machinery. A man on his hands
and knees was picking over pile of sweep
ings the day we visited the factory, seeming
as intent on his task as the searcher for pearls
in the oyster pits Of Ceylon.
The inferior grades of lugs, ect., can be
used only for smoking. Indeed, no leaf is
worthless for the manufacture of one or the
other of the innumerable brands somewhere
between the golden chaf with which the mil
lonaire fills his costly meerschaum and the
black mixture which Paddy smokes in his
clay pipe as he drives his dray-there is place
and use for it all.
Smoking-tobacco is generally put up in
bags holding from two ounces to one pound
each, a pound being the limit allowed by the
government for any single package The
packing is done by means of hollow iron cyl
inders, over which the bags fit closely and are
tightly drawn. Into these the tobacco is
poured, and by working treadle wooden
mallet is forced into the cylinder, COMPRISING
the mass into the smallest possible compass.
This operation is repeated until the bags are
full, when the cylinders are withdrawn, leav-
ing the closely packed tobacco in the bag.
The number of bags required for this bust
ness may be imagined from the fact that in
the single factory visited by the writer their
mandatory furnishes support for fifteen
poor families, besides which a large number
are made by persons who merely do the work
as a source Of pocketmoney. The maniac
ture of tobacco is the principal industry Of
Richmond, outstripping even iron in the rev.
enue which it produces. The largest income
listed last year in the State of Virginia was
that of a Richmond tobacconist, and what the
bourse is to Paris, the stock exchange to New
York, that the tobacco exchange is to Rich
mond.-Harpers' Magazine.

The INv1Nc1BLE SCHOOL MARM.-Ladies
travelling through Canada by rail are often
greatly annoyed by having their luggage un-
necessarily searched, but one of the officials
recently got his deserts. 1t happened that a
Yankee school teacher, on her way from Kan
sas to Vermont, passed throug n the Dominion,
with trunk packed to bursting with nothing
contraband. When the officer demanded her
key she begged him not to open it, assuring
him that it had come through from Kansas,
contained simpl clothes and books, and was
so full that it would be very troublesome to
repack it. But he sternly demanded the key,
and maliciously pulled everything out to the
very bottom; then-fnding her assertions
true-he returned the key and advised her to
"hurry up and get the traps back" as the
train would soon move. "What is that to
me" said the quick-witted woman II have
a check for that trunk, and hold the Grand
Trunk Railway responsible for its safe delive-
ry. I will not take the key, and you may do
as you please with the trunk" Report says
that official was very weary and red in the face
and rather profane ere he finished packing
the trunk.

SLEEPING UNDER THE CLorHEs.-There
is reason to believe that not few of the ap-
parently unaccountable cases of scrofula
among children proceed from the habit Of
sleeping with the head under the bed-clothes,
and so inhaling air already breathed, which
is further contaminated by exhalations from
the skin.
A good nurse will be careful to attend to
this. 1t is an important part, so to speak, of
ventilation. 1t may be worth while to re-
mark that when there is any danger Of bed
sores, blanket should never be placed un-
der the patient. Itretains dampness and acts
like poultice,
Never use any thing but light Whitney
blankets as bed.covering for the sick. The
heavy, impervious, cotton counterpane is bad,
for the very reason that keeps the emanations
from the sick person, while the blanket al
lows them to pass through. Weak patients
are invariably distressed by great weight Of
bed clothes, which often prevents their get
ting any sound sleep whatever.-Miss Night

vile, to take the Wilmington road at that
point. About two years ago, the action was
commenced to recover a sum of money paid
the railroad in excess of the legal limits OF
freight, during about two years proceeding.
On the Circuit the case was decided IN favor
of the plaintiffs, but an appeal was taken to the
Supreme court, which has now resulted in a
final judgment against the railroad. ,
This settles the law, that the limit imposed
by the charter of the South Carolina Railroad
Company, to their charges for freig GIT, is in.

distances, great or small, and that what are
called way freights, must be brought to that
standard. To the intelligence, pluck and ell

particular. In all or nearly all the railroad
charters, there are similar provisions on this
subject, and every community in the State
is interested and will be affected by the de-

How TO Fool RATs.-Let us take the case
of house badly infested with rats, says the
Rural Ne.o Yorker. How shall we get rid OF
them? Of course, if they come from some
public sewer or other colony, the supply is
probably unlimited, and the first thing must
be to cut off the access of all outsiders. But
if we are troubled by none but natives, it will
not require much skill to capture every one
of them old, cunning fellows and all. In
the first place, then, we must resolve to take
time to it and capture the whole lot, and to
this end no attempt must be made to capture
single animals, since this will tend to make
them suspicious and will put the old ones on
their guard. Then provide large box or
barrel place in it quantity of old carpet,
brush, &C., and also some food, such as meal,
cheese, herring, &c. Bore two-inch hole in
the side of the box, and leave it for some days.
The rats will soon find it out and frequent it.
First young one will 60 in and have good
feed and come out all right; the old ones see
ing that he is not hurt, they, too, will 60 in,
and in short time every rat about the prem.
ises will 20 there. When this occurs see that
it is we'll supplied with food and arrange over
the hole block having corresponding ap-
erture cut in it but having also series of
wires stuck around the hole and pointing in
ward, just as they are arranged in the com.
mon wire traps. Every rat will 60 in as
before and not one can get out. Various
methods may be adopted for killing them. If
you are sportsman, you can let them out one
at time and shoot them or kill them with
terriers. A few slips of sulphured paper
thrust through the hole and burned, is, how
ever, very simple plan, and will give most
effectual quietus. We have known case in
which sixty.seven rats were caught at one
time in box arranged as described. In this
instance the premises were efectually cleared
of the vermin.

HOGS, INTELLIGENCE.

Hogs often show great intelligence and ap-
titude to learn. A forester had Chinese pig,
which followed him like dog, came at call,
ran up and down stairs and from room to
room. 1t learned to bow and performed sew
eral tricks. 1t was very expert in hunting
mushrooms; and, when told to keep watch, it
would remain at its post until called away.
When its owner said "I'm going to kill you"
it would lay down on its back and stretch out
its legs.
1t is said that when Louis XII, was sick,
every means was taken to divert the sadness
of his mind, but, do what they would, he could
not be made to laugh at length nobleman
thought of teaching pig to dance, and bring
ing it before his majesty.
1t was long before pig could hop about
very well at the sound of bagpipe; they
then dressed it with coat, pantaloons, hat,
sword, &C.. in short, all that the court gen.
tlemen of the times were accustomed to wear,
and introduced it into the presence OF the
king The animal bowed, danced, and fol.
lowed all orders in the most artistic manner,
until getting tired, it became so awkward that
the king roared with laughter, to the delight
of his courtiers.
An English gentleman carefully trained a
hog for hunting. "Slud," for so the hog was
called, was very fond of the chase and was
ever on the alert when the huntsmen were
preparing to start but the dogs could not en-
dure its company, and their owner was never
able to make use of both at the same time.
"Slud" could scent bird from a great dis
tance, and would dig in the ground to show
whereit had been. When the bird hoped it
followed like a dog.
Hogs have been trained for draught. A
countryman was in the habit of riding to St.
Alban's market in small cart drawn by four
hogs; another countryman won wager on a
bet that his hog could carry him on his back
four miles in one hour. These facts are cited
to show that the hog is a more intelligent an
imal than we give him credit for. However,
every kind hearted person will disapprove of
teaching dumb creatures to perform tricks.
