Devoted unto Death.


Several years ago, when John P
Hale was here as as Senator, his daught
ers were among the most admired of
all the berries. They lived in elegant
style at the National, and entertained
with great deal of vivacity all who
visited them. The youngest was really
very pretty, fresh, piquant girl of
eighteen or so.
OF course there were a great many
almiierr, and among them the actor
John Wilkes Booth was the most de-
voted to Miss Eighteen You perhaps
remember Booths appearance-a hand
some, dark, melodramatic fellow, ard
among certain set here he was great
favorite socially. At night he played
his Charles in Schil1ers ssRobbels, y
and Miss Hale was always at the play,
with bouquet and smiles for him. In
those days who could guess the sad Sc
quel to romance of love that prom
Used bright enough ?. remember a
night when the hotel was a blaze of
light. The guests were giving chop
for their trends, and between the waltz
es every one was good naturally COS :
slipping at the devotion of couple who
walked up and down the rooms. and
were apparently obvious of place and
Surroundings. They were a very at
tractive pair;. he tall and dark eyed,
she fair an sweet as an Englis rose.
There We're some who caviled at her
choice !; the father must be wild to per-
NIT such an alliance, they said-the
daughter Of a United States Senator to
marry aplay actor But the many to
whom the young girls sweet face
seemed an excuse for any infatuation
looked indulgence at the little drama
of the ''old, old story"
remember too we'll another NIGHT.
just the eve Of two days later We
were at Ford's old theatre. Again a
blaze Of light and music, and the
"American Cousin. How many times
have you heard the story of that night,
too dreadful to talk of even? The
sudden pistol shot, the uproar that fol
lowed, and in the figure that sprang
from the Presidents box I saw the low
er of two nights ago, and knew that
even as he whispered in that young
girls ear he was Planning that dreadful
scene. In Wilkes Booths pocket was
found the pictuse Of his betrothed, and
she wrote of the assassin that size would
marry hin at the foot OF the gallows.

Patrons Of Husbandry.

A patron gives this advice to his breth-
rem! DO not meddle with any business
you know nothing Of Have order,
system, regularity and promptness. DO
not kick every stone, unless 1t lay
directly ia the path More miles can be
made in a day by going steadily on, than
by stopping by the wayside. Endeavor
TO avoid all hard words and personali-
ties. Learn to say no No necessity
for swapping ont dog-fabhion, but say it
firmly and respectfully. grange Of
honor respect their word a. they do their
bond They aid but never beg Pay
as you 20. Never fool in business mat
tiers. Have no confdants; at least, the
fewer the better. Learn to think and
act for yourself. Thoroughly investi
gate before going into any business Of
great Importance. Keep your table and
stands well spre ad with journals Of sci
entific matter"
The papers which are most circulated
among the patrons are filed with adver-
tisements soliciting the custom Of grang-
Is in this city and other distributing
centers. While in many instances these
cards are those of trustworthy and re
sponsible dealers, it is impossible to
avoid expressing the opinion that they
are only inserted for fraudulent purposes
Great grange tea furnishing companies
will frequently, if traced out, be found
TO have for warehouse, a fifth story
ten-by-nine office, and for stock nothing
but swindIing circulars, and the assur-
ance and dishonesty of the man who Is
the company. There are dozens of
agents travelling through the country
selling gCods-if they only were deliver
ed, or at all equal to the sample-for
fabulously low prices, taking small
installment of the cash, and promising
to collect the balance on delivery
Others are promis ing TO send six pounds
of Mocha coffee for one dollar tc large
clubs. The first man who sends his
money gets the coffee; the captured by
this bait never hear from their remit
tances. Other dealers sell only to hold
ers of tickets costing from twenty-five
cents to one dollar each, and the credu-
lous customer who invests is out of so
much. On general principles it is safe
for the farmers to remit no money to
advertisers who offer particularly bril-
liant inducements Something is not to
be had for nothing, even in this day of
grangers and cheap stores, and it is ex-
tremeiy doubtful whether those who fall
victims to these sharpers, after fair
warning, deserve any sympathy what
ever.-N Y. World.

Good Way TO Make Cottage Cheese.

\ cottage spinster, '.Roselle, in COM
municating her practice of making cot
tage cheese. says: 81 take some sweet
milk and stand it on top of the stove in
a new tin pail or pan, shaking it Occa-
sionally, that the forming curd may not
settle to the bottom | turn the edges
gently, that the curd may form evenly,
taking care not to break it, and not let
it cook too fast. If the heat is about
right it will be done in half an hour.
Then drain off the whey slowly, press
ing down on the curd until only whey
enough remains in it that the cheese will
not be too dry-just moist enough to
mix we'll Then | salt to taste, add n
good lump of butter and work well with
my hand, then pack it down in a crock,
leaving all the moisture in it. This is
better than to press it into dry balls.
Set it away in the coolest corner of the
cellar or spring house. Take it out into
a deep white dish and very carefully dip
out and lay over the top of it a few
spoonfulls of thick cream, sweet or sour,
but the sour is preferable. Lay clean,
bright spoon beside the dish, and your
wholesome poem is ready for criticism,
cold, white and pretty, and one of the
incest dishes known for tea.

Cookery for Work People.

Avery interesting lecture was deliver
ed recently, says the London Standard,
at the st. Giles's Schools, by Mr.. Buck
master, of the Science and Art Depart
ment of the South Kentucky Museum,
ON the subject of plain and cheap cook
cry. The lecture was delivered under
the Presidency of the Rector of the par
ish, Rev. ConOn Nisbet, and was large
ly attended by the wives of working
men, and by a number of district visi-
tors and ladies connected with the La
dies Sanitary Association, which has
promoted the movement. The lecturer
had previously prepared three excellent
dishes, consisting of two soups and one
stew The first soup had for its ingredi-
ents five pennyworth of meat, one pen
nywOrth of bones, three farthingsworth
of carrot, one halfpenny worth of on
ions, and one halfpenny worth of herbs,
making total of two quarts of savory
soup for seven pence three farthings.-
The second had for its ingredients drip
ping, onions, pea-flour, potatoes, one
egg, some parsley, and a pint of milk.
This furnished more than two quarts for
six-pence-halfpenny. The stew was a
capital dish consisting of odd scraps of
meat for two pence-halfpenny, and veg
etables and flour at an additional cost
oftwopence; the whole being served for
fourpence-halfpenny. The lecturer gave
a clear statement of the chemical value
of the materials used, as supplying the
various wants of the human frame
He went through the whole process of
making each dish in the presence of his
audience, insist ing upon the Importance
of time for the process of simmering on
the fire. Time would not allow of the
poor women tasting the viands which
they had actually seen prepared, but
they were invited to partake Of the du-
plicate dishes, which had been on the
fire, two of them for four hours and one
for one hour before the lecture. BY the
clean sweep which was made of this
food, it seems as if it were considered
very palatabIe. We are informed that
it is the intention of the rector of st.
Giles's to have similar lectures given
from time to time by competent persons;
and if so, it is confidently hoped that
the poorest inhabitants of st. Giles's
may be taught to furnish their families
with nutritious, palatable and cheap
food.

NATURAL SwARNING.-The Bee-Keep-
ej'S Magazjne has the following relating
to natural swarming:
Natural swarming may be permitted,
or bees may be swarwed artificiaIly, or
swarIning (at least partly prevented.
If bees are allowed to swarm natural
ly the careful apiarian has clean hives
ready for them, and kept i'll the
shade, as swarm of bees DO not like to
enter or remain i'll warm hive, or one
having bad scent. 1t is well TO have a
pail of fine sand sitting in Il convenient
place, as it is an easy matter TO stop an
abscOnding swarm by throwing fine sand
among the advance guard. Swarms
will, however, generally cluster on a
branch of some tree near by, when they
may be hived in the usual way. If they
cluster in the forks of a tree, brush a
few into a box that has hole in one
end, and cover it with cloth; then hold
it close to the swarm, and those in the
box will soon call the Others ill., When
hived, remove to theE stand and shade
from the sun. When stock swarms
naturally, we put a card of honey and
brood from old stock into the new hive
before hiving the swarm, which usually
prevents their leaving it.

\ GOOD OR BAD HONEY SEASON.
The requisites of a good honey season
are warm, moist weather, neither too
dry, nor too wet, and still better to have
dews at night. When we are blessed
with all the above-naIned advantages,
we may expect large returns from our
bees, with a proper kind of hives and
good management.
When the weather is too cool, or if
there is too much wind, the flowers will
seerete but little of the sacchaEine fluid,
or, if the weather should be very dry,
in either case the bees will collect but
little honey. If too wet, bees will do
but little, as the honey will be very thin
and watery. 1t takes so long for the
watery particles TO pass off, so the cells
can be sealed over, that they make slow
progress. If there are no dews nights,
bees will gain but Iittle-Kidder.

SONG or THE FTlIL.

In the autumn, when the hO!lOws
All are filled with flying leaves,
And the colonies Of swallows
Quit the quantity succeed caves,
And silver mantle glistcns
Over all the misty vale,
Sits the little wife and listens
TO the beating Of the fail,
To the pounding Of the fail
By her cradle sits and listens
To the Tapping Of the fail
The bright summer days are over,
And her eyes no longer sees
The red bloom upon the clover,
The deep green upon the trees;
flushed the songs Of finch and ROBIN,
With the whistle Of the quail;
But she hears the mellow throbbAg
Of the thunder Of the fail,
The low thunder Of the fail
Through the amber air the thrDbelng
And reyerberating fail.
In the barn the stout young thrcsheT
Stooping stands with rolled-up sleeves,
Beating out his golden treasure
From the ripped and rustling sheaves:
Oh. was every knight in armor-
Warrior ali in shining mail
Half so handsome as her farmer
As hc plies the flying fail,
As he Vyiclds the flashing iiail2-
The bare-throated, brown young farmer,
As hc swings the sounding fail:
All the hopes that saw the sowing,
Al! the sweet desire Of gain,
All the iOy that watched 'he growing
And the yeIlowing of the grain,
81, l., 81 Lot "a hgF
And the faith that shall not fall
All arc speaking softly TO her
In the pulses Of the fail,
OF the palpitating fail
Past and Future whisper TO her.
Inthe music Of the fail.
In its crib their babe is sleeping,
And the sunshine from the door
All the afternoon is creeping
Slowly round upon the floor;
And the shadows soon Will darkcn,
And the daylight soon must pale,
When the wife no more shall hcarkcn,
To the framping of the fail,
To the dancing of the fail
When her heart no more shall hearken
To the football of the fail.
And the babe shall grow and strengthen,
lie q Ulalutus DC d wiz,
While the moving shadows lengthen
Round the dial of their life:
Theirs the trust Of friend and neighbor,
And an age serene and hale,
When machines shall do the labor
OF the strong arm and the fail,
of the stout heart and the fail
Great machines perform the labor
OF the good Old-fashiOned fail.
But when, blessed among women,
And when, honored among men,
They look round them, can the brimmlng
OF their utmost wishes then
Give them happiness completcr?
And can ease and wealth avail
To make any music sweeter
Than the pounding of the fail.
Oh, the sounding of the fail!
Never music can be sweeter
Than the beating of the fail!

A CORRESPONDENT of the Country
Gentleman says a good application of
two or three bushels of blacksmith's Gin
ders spread around young fruit trees,
particularly pears; not only keeps down
the grass, but affords some principle
which gives health and vigor to the
growth of the trees.

To KEEP BARRELS FROM RUSTING.-
Narnish, as ordinarily laid on, is obiec-
tionable, as it gives a gun a ''brumma-
gem" look. \ good plan is to heat the
barrels TO the temperature of boiling
water mot any hotter, or you HAY in
iure them, and rub them with the best
copal varnish, giving them n plentiful
coating. Let them remain hot for half
an hour, and then wipe them clean with
a soft rag. In this way you can get
enough varnish into the pores of the
metal to act as preservative, and, at
the same time, no one would suspect
that the barrels had ever been touched
with varnish. We have applied boiled
oil, beswax, paraffin, and some other
substances, in the same way. and OBJ
tanned good results; but on the whole,
We find nothing better than good copal
VarniSh in every respect.

varnish in every respect.

MOVING LAwNS.-A well kept lawn is
a thing of beauty-as any one can see
who walks or rides our streets at this
season; but too many lawns or door
yards that might be beautiful are quite
unSightly for want of moving. The
grass should never be allowed to grow
till the blossom stalks appear. If a
lawn moving machine is not used, a
man with scythe should be engaged
to do the work at least once a month
during the sumner. We would hint Just
here that some man i'll want of work
could make good wages going from
house to house with a scythe, moving
door yards by the job.
