Swimming the Seine.

OF all the things in the world which APP
pear utterly useless are soap-suds- Mr..
SimmOndS takes a different view. He
tells us that 9 sOap-suds as stimulant OF
vegetable life cannot be too highly appre
ciated.' We cannot 60 into his argu-
ments on the great value of sOap-sudS, and
it is sufficient to say that when poured out
as manure they are of prOdigious efficacy.
The French, who are up to everything In
the chemical line, have taken proper
view of the sOap-suds. Whether from
private dwellings in Paris or from the
barges of the bLanchisselS1s, the Seine
must have a good deal of soap floating
about in a wasUeful kind of way, to say
nothing of the greasy pollution from dead
dogs and cats. There was a fortune If
properly looked after. An enterprislng
firm, fortified by the authority of the Pre-
feet, determined to begin system OF
skimming the Seine. You would imagine
it was nOnsensical idea. Quite mistake.
By uniting the skimmings of the river
with the offal from the hospitals the firm
is able, by the aid of chemistry, steam,
and cookery, to fatten 5000 pigs, and to
produce annually 100000 pounds of soap.

The GREAT MEDICAL REFORMATION
The Satanic Theory that preparations
which intiame the brain are, in any sense
of the word, remedies, has been oUerthrOi011,
and can reuer be re-estabLished. The won
derful effects which have attended the use
of DIR. WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs as an
antidote to the causes of disease and a cure
for every comfortable ailment, have DEM
onstrated the utter fallacy of the doctrine
that alcohol is tonic as well as stinutG1at.
The New and Incompatible Vegetable
Remedy which has superseded the death
draught of rum bitters, is as free from
every intoxicating element as the dew OF
Heaven, yet see how it is invigOrating the
nervous, relieving the bilious, curing the
dyspeptic, purifying the blood OF the
Scr0fulous, strengthening the debilltated,
arresting premature decay, and replacing
dependency and weakness with cheerful
ness and activity. Truly grand Medical
Revolution is in progress.

"WhosO raiseth and traineth horse for

those who give aims day and night, in

his reward. All his sins will be forgiven

Let your colt be dOmesticated and live

IF you would have your horse to serve
YOU on the day of trial, if you desire him
then to be a horse of truth, make him so

''Do not beat your horses, nor speak to
them in a loud tone of voice; do not be
angry with them, but kindly reprove their
faults, they will do better thereafter, for
they understand the language of man and
its meaning"
IF you have long days journey be-

How to Train Children.

In the training of little girl great
pains should be taken TO discover what
special gift or talent she has, if any, and,
whatever her circumstances, to fit her for
its use. Even putting the money value of
such art or accomplishment out of the
question, its aid as resource and strength
ener isincalculable. Disappointment and
grief come more easily TO women than to
men; they abide with them longer, and
sap more of their life away, simply be-
bic workynot the mere drudser,y Of the
bread-winner, but the toll of. the artist.
Pride, philosophy, even religion cannot
give the new vitality which Subh work be
slows on the faithful vOtary, 1t repairs
bodily and mental forces like nature itself,
slowly, imperceptibly, surely. The father
and mother who can find in their daugh-
ter such power, and give to her the means
of using it, may count themselves happy,
and her the inheritor of royal heritage.

Corn in England.

The n. Y. Tribune contains the fol.
lowing: It would be strange indeed il
we should be indebted to England for a
variety of corn hardy enough to resist
severe frosts. A statement is, however,
published in the English papers that
"Cobbett's thousand-fold acclimated
Indian corn" has been successfully
adapted to the cool and variable climate
of Englsnd, in which heretofore our
corn could not be grown or ripened.
William Cobbett will be remembered as
the English Liberal agitator who for
some time had his residence upon Long
Island. His son, William Cobbett, has
long been endeavoriDg to introduce the
growth Of corn into England, and now
it seems he claims to have succeeded.
We learn that upwards of three acres of
this acclimated corn is now growing at
Hounslow, near London, and that it
has successfully withstood some severe
frosts with great hardihood, and is now
very promising. If our neighbors in
the East have really produced frost
proof corn so prolific as it is made to
appear by the sounding title given to it,
and which we have quoted, it will go 10
shake our faith in our permanent de-
pendence upon Europe as market for
our surplus crop of this cereal, and, on
the contrary, cause us to look thither
for supply of seed of so valuable a
plant. But we are somewhat doubtful
as to the truth of this statement.

Romeo by Another Name in Pennsyl-
Vania.

Two farmers living on adjoining
farms in Girard Township, Erie coun-
ty, have for years been unfriendly on
account of the disagreement about the
line fence which separated their lands
both claiming the ten feet which was
formerly the lane running between the
two places. Their children have grown
up inheriting their parents luminosity,
and their eldest sons have several times
been subp9Dad as witnesses in lawsuits
which have grown out of this difficulty.
The case had been a sort of suit IN
chancery. having run on from year to
year, both men spending their money
in lawyers fees without any legal con-
clusiOn.
About year ago the two farmers
awoke one Monday morning to find that
each had lost child,-one his Youngest
son and the other his only daughter
Like the houses of Montague and Cap
ulet in "Romeo and Juliet, the scions
of the two rival houses had secretly
cherished fondness for one another,
and, knowing the feiid between the fam
lies, without divuleing their passions
or intention, they met clandestinely, and
carried iato effect an elopement
A week passed, at the end of which
the father of the runaway daughter
was called on to go to Erie to attend
again to the everlasting lawsuit. He
went in early to the Office Of the law
yer, and, taking up one of his weekly
papers, read the marriage notice of
Emma. 1t was terrible blow, and he
went out into the yard to try and walk
off his excitement. All that passed
through the old gentleman mind is
not known. but there seemed to be q
desperate struggle within, which re-
suited in his returning to the lawyer S
office and postponing the business.
Then he drove directly to his farm and
had long private interview with his
wife then he did what he had not done
for twenty years-went over and called
on his enemy. He was found sick, hav-
ing been confined to his room since the
abandonment of his favorite son. But
the two farmers met, and both for q
few minutes stood face to face in pro-
found silence.
At length the father of Emma spoke
SO | have come to settle the dispute;
let the children have the lot on either
side of the lane, and viii build them
house"
Sand / Will furnish it."
So the recreant children were sent
for and forgiven, and came home to re-
ceive their parents blessing. And
now there are no more lawyers for the
two farmers, but each has faithfully
fulfilled his contract in regard to his
house and furniture. -BeaUer pa.

A Boy and a Modest School Ma,am
i'm a Predicament.

An amusing incident occurred in one
of the departments of the High School
building the other day. While at play
during recess one of the boys had the
misfortune to make an ugly rent in that
portion of his pantaloons which his
short tailed coat could not possibly con-
ceal. BY the aid of his sympathizing
schoolmates the torn gs rment was in due
time pinned together, and by walking
very straight the boy was enabled to
side into the school room and to his
seat without attracting particular atten-
ton. Things promised to work favor
ably until, from some cause, the unfor-
tunate was summoned to the platform.
This order he could not obey without
displaying to the whole school the
breach in his pantaloons, and so he sat
still in his seat, turning very red in the
face and locking mortified beyond de-
scription. The lady teacher took his
hesitation for INSTRUMENTATION, and
sternly ordered him to the front Still
he did not move. The teacher became
angry, and, hastily writing a note, dis
patched it to Prof. Rogers, informing
him of the conduct of her pupil, and at
the same time commanding the blush
ing and mortified boy to pack up his
books and prepare to leave school. The
courier with the message TO the Pro-
fessor had scarcely left the room when
he was overtaken by the sufferer, and
together they sought out the Professor
and explained matters. By tie laugh
ing and blushing manner in which the
lady teacher perused the reply to her
note, it was inferred that matters were
satisfactorily righted, and the charge of
INSTRUMENTATION withdrawn, leaving the
unlucky young man in good standing
in the estimation of his teacher.-S5oatc
