toward my granddaughter ever since she be-
came your wife. You have chilled her i'm
petuous affections and thrown them back upon
her own heart; you have made the poor
young thing miserable with your exactions and
formalities and repressions Of all feeling.
"Good afternoon, madam" said Col. Dan
bridge, stepping toward the door, his eyes
burning with anger. "Your injustice is a lit
tie more than I expected but perceive you
are totally blind to the glaring faults Of your
granddaughter, and now wish to throw all
the blame on me-" ... t-
"I am not blind to her faults" said Mrs.
Summerville, OBTAINING him; II know her
faults we'll, and I execrate her present course;
but I do believe, and will protest with my dy-
ing breath, that you are to blame in your
mode of conduct toward her."
Again, bid you good afternoon, madam.
I shall not trouble you, nor your s'oeet, charm
ing, adorable granddaughter either, again,
with my GOODNESS and formalities. She may
go where she pleases, and live where she pleas
es, but she will have abundant time to change
her conduct and her principles, too, before

NOBLE SENr1MENTs.-A person by the
name Of M. J. Wicks, President Of the explo-
ded savings bank of Memphis, challenged
William Rule, Esq, the talented editor of the
Knoxville Chronicle, for writing and publish
ing letter about Wick's financial manage
ment. Mr. Rule at once exposed the misera-
BILE fellow in the following blistering words in
his reply: 49,. .'. "'
"I do not seek reputation for courage
gained in that way. If you are more anxious
to investigate the matter of cowardice than l
am, you are at liberty to make the investiga-
ton your own way and until you are satisfied:
1 do not propose to leave the country. but will
continue to pursue my legitimate business,
going whenever and wherever that business
calls me. While I do not recognize the so
called code of honor wish you to distinctly
understand that fully recognize the right of
self defence. do not court, but on the con.
trary, avoid personal difficulties with my fel-
lows, but when attacked shall not hesitate
to defend myself as promptly and efectually
as necessity may seem to require. =.
."You ask me to fight duel. And for
what? Because have made statements con.
cerning you, the truth of which l can prove,
and the falsity of which you do not offer to
show. I do not propose to pander to the
barbarous prejudices Of depraved minds by
setting myself up as target, to give you the
opportunity of so-called vindication Of your
honor. I have no respect for any such fool
ish notions. They may be in accordance with
your ideas of honor and courage, but they are
not with mine. Words cannot express my
contempt for such folly. 1t is not proof OF
courage, but of cowardice! 1t is not evidence
of manliness, but of a weak concession to
heathenish and brutal custom. 1t is not the
way to defend gentlemans honor, but q
practical confession Of his inability to defend
it in the manner prescribed by an enlighten..
ed, Christian public sentiment and the laws OF
civilized people"

s9- Gail Hamilton says in the Woman's
Journal: "The instinct of domesticity is as
strong and deep in woman as in man. She is
no more gregarious, clearinghouse animal
than is he. The occupations, the interests,
thepleasures of home are peculiarly hers, and
whenever woman dislikes her home and pre-
fers boarding house, the first thing is for the
husband to have great searchings of heart,
and ask himself: "What sin have l commit
ted of what neglect am I guilty; into what
dullness have I sunk, that my wife is thus
forced to forego her natural inclinations ?"

CURE FOR SCARLET FEvER.-An eminent
physician of Boston robs scarlet fever of many
Of its terrors by prescribing for the patient
warm lemonade, with little mucilage, as
often as desired, and the application Of warmth
to the stomach He directs that sheet
should be wrung out of hot water and laid on
the stomach, renewing it as often as it cools.
Nothing else but the lemonade is to be given.
With this treatment he guarantees that not
one in hundred cases will prove fatal. We
have known cider alone to cure more than one
obstinate case. A vegetable acid appears to
be the specific. Enough salt in children's
victuals may almost be said to be prophylac-
tic for eruptive efevers.-Ezchange

Cows CONG DRY.-Many persons COM
plain of their COWS going dry sometimes four
or five months before calving time, just when
the butter brings the best price, and the blame
is laid on the COWS. The fact is, the real
blame is with the owners themselves. In the
Fall, when the frosts come and the pastures
fail, and when warm feed is needed in the
mornings, and a comfortable place at night,
they are allowed to shift for themselves,
falling off in the milk is the result, and the
verdict is that "the COW wsnts to 60 dry" and
so she is furloughed. Nov, this is the fault of
the owner, and the result Of negligence. Cows
are like humans, the creatures of habit, and
follow course once adopted, especially a bad
one, with surprising pertinacity, and going
dry is one Of them. We have known cows
to be MIXED to the very day of fcalving, with.
out detriment, but this is the other extreme.
Six weeks is about the right time, and milk
ing should be kept up until that time, be the
quantity great or small. The milk will un.
dergo no change before the last month, and it
is safe to milk up to that time. Gentle treat
ment, warm slops and feed in the morning,
and a comfortable place to lie down in, will
make them continue to give milk.

How COFFEE WAS DIsCovERED.-Toward
the middle of the fifteenth century, a poor
Arab was travelling in Abysinia, and finding
himself weak and weary from fatigue, he
stopped near a grove. Being in want of fuel
to cook his rice, he cut down tree which
happened to be covered with dried berries
His meal being cooked and eaten, the traveller
discovered that these half.burned berries were
fragrant. He collected number of these,
and, on crushing them with stone, he found
their. aroma increased to a great extent.
While wondering at this, he accidentally let
fall the substance into can which contained
his scanty supply of water. Lo, what a mi
racle! The almost putrid liquid was Instant
ly purified he brought it to his lips; it was
fresh and agreeable, and in moment after
the traveller had so far recovered his strength
and energy as to be able to resume his jour-
ney, The lucky Arab gathered as many ber'
ries as he could, and having arrived at Alden,
in Arabia, he informed the Mufti of his dis
covery. That worthy dive was an inveterate
opium smoker, who had been suffering tor
wears under the influence Of the poisonous
drug. He tried an infusion of the roasted
berries, and was so delighted at the recovery
of his former vigor, that in gratitude to the
tree he called it Canuab, which in Arabic
signifies force. And this is the manner in
which coffee was discovered.
