| were travelling in the West, and telegram was
sent 10 President Grant to learn their whereabouts
and inform them OF the sad news. OF course they
returned TO England Immediately upon the re-
cept of this intelligence. Now that the young
man has such different prospects he Will not cul

THE WAY TO DO 1T


IN tell you how / speak piecs:
First make my bow;
Then l bring my words out clear
And plain as | know how
Next throw my hands up 50
Then lift my eyes
That's to let my hearers know
Something doth surprise.
Next grin and show my teeth.
Nearly every one;
shake my shoulders, hold my sides:
That's the sign Of fun.
Next start and knit my brow.
Hold my head erect:
Something's wrong you see, and
Decidedly object.
Then wabble at my knees.
Clutch at shadows near.
Tremble, well from TOP to toe:
That's the sign OF fear.
Soon scowl and with leap,
Seize an airy dagger.
"WRETcH!" 1 cry. That's tragedy.
Every soul to stagger.
Then let my voice grow faint.
Gasp and hold my breath
Tumble down and plunge about:
That's a villains death.
Quickly then come to life,
Perfectly restored;
With bow my speech is done.
Now, you'll please applaud,

\ GARDENERS NOTES.

Early and Late Peas in the Same
Drill A writer in the London Garde-
ners' Chronicle planted early and late
peas in the same drill. The early sorts
lie says, came up first, caught hold OF
the stakes, supported tile others until
they got hold ot the same, and the result
was, that he had bcAu.,tu. crop of peas
three weeks before the late varieties
were ready to gather, thus giving dou
bic crop off the same grouad, and with
the same stlcks. He recommends the
plan to persons whose gardens are rich,
but limited to extent.
Tomatoes from Cutslngs.-A gardener OF
Todeaster, England, is growing his tomatoes
altogether from cuttings. He found that he
can thus propagate any special variety more
surely than by seed, and that the plants
struck from cuttings are much more fertile
and productive than those grown from seed.
L ten days cuttings struck in sixty pots were
so well grown in the glass that they were
ready for setting out in the open ground.
Early Minnesota Sweet Corn.-Vica, and
others who have grown it, recommend this
variety of sweet corn very highly. Wick
says, "We do not expect TO see better for
some time. and an Illnoisian says. ''You
cannot recommend The Early Minnesota

WHY SHE REFUSED.

You say you went to party last
night, and you saw Mrs. Smith, an old
friend, whom you had not seen since she
and your sister were at school together.
You had "a very pleasant talk until sup
per, then you gave her your arm and
took her 70 supper. When some one
came along with few glasses of wine on
a waiter, and offered her glass, you saw
her shudder, as she said, "No" and you
wondered why Mrs. Smith, who didn't
use to be particular about such things,
not only refused, but shuddered when
she said "NoT You ca mot tell why {?
I can tell you why. You went on with
your talk, and had little renewed fir
tation, did you? won't soy you didn't,
She was very gay, and seemed very glad
to forget herself, did she ? Very well {!
I am glad you gave her that hour o. the
evening. can tell you where she went
after the party was over. She went
home the latest one from the party.
She was glad twas late, for her husband
had not come home. She sat and read
for an hour, and her husband did not
come. She wrote for an hour and he didn't
come. She sat at the piano an hour, but
he did not come. At length, between
three and four o'clock, there was noise
at the door. She went to the door, and
two policemen held him in their arms. She
knows them both well by thi. time. It hap
pens so often she knows every policeman
on the beat. They babe her good night.
She brought him in. She had locked
her chiid's room that he might net
abuse him. She took the abuse as he
flung himself upon the bed. She drag
ged off his neckcloth and coat, and sat
there until be should fall into his stupid
sleep. She was the woman who refused

not know the story. You thought she
was SO gay and bright. I know her
story, because I am her minister. They
have sort of skeleton in the closet,
which we are permitted to see and you
are not: And when we see that skeleton,
do you wonder that we sometimes say
sharp things about moderate drinking
