A visit TO a brothers grave in Duxbury,
where his widow had erected an elegant
monument and by her frequent visits aud at.
tention kept the grave fresh and bright-as
was her recollection of the departed in her
own mind led us to pen these lines. The little
cemetery in Duxbury was beautifully located
on the corner of an elevated meadow over.
looking the lovely valley Of the Winooski.
There were the bridges that spanncd the
stream, the village of Waterbury on the
other side, with fair fields and comfortable
homes in every direction, whose late owners
and occupants so familiar in all this region
are now sleeping at our feet, beneath wide
spreading pines, where the robin trills and
t%witters, with monumental structures, con-
spicuous for their size and attractive for their
beauty. Here the advancement Of the age
in cost aud taste of tributes to departed
worth is clearly shown in the erection Of the
tombstones from year to year.

The New York Ring.

Sweeny is in Paris. He lives with his
family in a large house on the Champs
Elysees, and lives in style. A modiste, who
was patronized by Mrs. Sweeny last summer,
told a Cincinnati lady a few months ago
that the Sweenys were ready to pay any
prices, and never disputed any bills. Mrs.
Sweeny had the best dresses that could be
made, and in the matter Of lace, she bought
enough to set up a respectable retail store.
" But l don't think" said she, that they
are nice people. They seem to me what
you Americans sometimes call off color ;
but they have lots of money"
1.-The people of New York think a great
deal of Mr.. Sweeny," replied the lady.
{" They think SO much Of him that they
would be glad to pay his expenses back to
thing to live after he gets there. They
would give him apartments in a palace at
Sing Sing, ON the Hudson, and let him live
there free for 20 years or So"
Really, that is very strange" the modiste
responded, " for one day | told Mrs. Sweeuy
to give me plenty Of time before she weHt to
New York, and [ would make her such a
wardrobe as never was. She flushed up in
the face aud said they were not going back
to New York, neither this year nor the next.
And she wasn't very civil to me all the rest
of her visit"

Clean Up about the Premises.

On account of the backwardness Of the
season the work of planting has been generally
delayed, and on account Of this delay the
usual spring fixing and cleaning up has not
been attended to. During seed time the
work of planting aud sowing must be done,
and whaaver can be neglected until this is
over is generally left undone. After this
comes the cleaning up about the premises,
the getting ready for hot weather. Notwith-
standing the spring is rather late, warm wea-
Their will come with n rush ere long, and we
counsel all our readers to lose no time in
getting ready for it. Clean out all decay
ing matter from the cellar, and give it a
good wbitewashing. Attend to the sink
spout and keep the drain well supplied with
some kind OF absorbents. Scrape up and use
for the compost heap all loose manure, old
boots and shoes, bones, wooden rags, and
whatever else of this nature viii! add to the
fertilizing agents of the farm. Attention to
these matters will result in a neat appear
ance of the premises, an additional amount
of manure for the farm crops, and 20 far
towards i~nsuring the health of the family
during the coming season Of hot weather.

Shrunken Flannels.

Visiting fulling mill gave me an idea
how to wash 6annels. The cloth in the full.
ing mill lay in a long trough, where, bathed
in luke warm water, it was slapped gently
back and forward against a board until sufi-
GENTLY thickened for the next process. The
cloth was gradually passed forward from the
trough 10 large folds so as to keep it wet.
If %flannels are washed quickly in water as
hot as the hand will bear, then shaken out
and dipped at once into ~scalding water, then
shaken a second time and hung to dry, with
out delay, they will last a year without
shrinking or fulling. One diff Guilty remains,
which is apparently insurmountable in ac-
complishing this very desirable result. The
bachelor who pays sl2 a pair for his under
vests is at the mercy of his washwoman and
don't see how he can help himself. The
lady is in a similar condition Of helplcssness,
and dare not interfere with the autocrat of
the wash.tub. The autocrat is conservative
and wants no new notions, and so the deli
cate t~iannels, fresh and soft in autumn, be-
come leather like and stiff before the spring,
and only fit to be "given away that con-
venient form of disposing Of worthless gar.
ments nick-named charity. If SOM heroic

on a baby's shirt, the satisfactory result
might end in a reform that would gladden.

Traits Of the Iron Duke.

| can remember well the time when the
duke Of Wellington returned to England
after his brilliant campaigns, crowned with
the battle Of Waterloo at that time he was
cheered by the people wherever he went,
aud lauded to the skies. Afterward, ut the
period of the reform bill, the tickle people
forgot all his services, and constantly hooted
him in the streets. On one day, coming
from the Tower on horse back, the mob
attacked him with so much virulence and
malice, that he was exposed to considerable
personal danger, in the street. l was in
that year at a ball given by him at Apsley
house to X ing William ~. and his queen,
when the mob were very unruly and inde-
cent in their conduct at the gates; and on
the following days they proceeded to such
excuses that they broke the windows Of
Apsley house, and did much injury to his
property. 1t was then that he caused to
be put up those iron blinds to his windows,
which remain to this day as record of the
peoples ingratitude. Some time afterward.
when he had regained all his popularity, ani
began to enjoy that great and high reputa-
ton which he now, it is to be hoped, will
carry to the grave, he was riding up Consti-
tuition hill, in tho park, followed by an i'm
mense mob, who were cheering him in every
directiNn ; he heard it all with the most sto-
ieal Indifference, never putting his horse out
Of a walk, or seeming TO regard them, till he
l%eisurely arrived at Apsley house, when he
stopped at the gate, turned rouned to the rab-
bic, and then, pointing with his finger to the
iron blinds which still closed the windows,
he made them a sarcastic bow, aud entered
the court without saying a word, Some
years ago, it was proposed to him to pur-
chase a farm in the neighborhood of Strath.
6eldsaye, which lay contiguous to his estate,
and was therefore a valuable acquisition, "a
which he assented. When the purchase was
completed, his steward congratulated him up.
on having had such a bargain, as the seller
was in difficulties, and forced to part with it
"What do you mean by a bargain 2" said the
duke the other replied, at was valued al
ell00, and we have got it for $780," Ii
that case" said the duke "you will please to
carry the extra e300 to the late owner, and
never talk to me of cheap land again.

Grange Degree s.

In your last issue | notice u. 4. Jameson
wants a separate password by which it can
be ascertained who are members of the state
grange. Cannot there be some simpler way
devised to know who the masters of the
oranges are, as it is we'll known that none but
masters and past-masters with their wives
who are matrons, are members of the state
grange? He speaks also of the extra ex-
penses Of a few other brothers and sisters
should any chance to attend, (which number
would be quite limited, as it is well known
throughout the order that none but right
rightful members have their expenses paid)
Now, Bro. j. knows that all those two hun
dred oranges elect new masters annually
who, with their wives who are matrons, add
four hundred to the state grange every year,
whose expenses must be paid out of the
treasury, and that it takes a whole day to
confer the fifth degree on these four hundred
new brothers and sisters before they can be-
come members, mourning al expense that
would 60 a great way toward paying that Of
the few spectators who would attend. The
same rule would apply to the national grange,
By the way, what did the national grange
do at its last meeting2 Nothing, to benefit
the grange. 1t recommended to congress the
building Of another Pacific railroad and
spent, we conjecture, a goodly portion Of
their time 10 making seventh degree members
mourning a nice little expense of one hun.
bred and sixty thousand dollars for fourtl
degree members to pay. In conclusion, ]
will say that all there is to the fifth degre,

are very necessary to the well being of The

Women in the Garden.

However aghast some "fnc ladies" may
regard the idea of working in the garden,
l consider it one Of the most wholesome
means of exercise within our reach. Whole
some especially, because We have an object
and an interesting one in taking this exer-
cise-which is the growth Of flowers and
plants. Before commencing work in the
garden, put on a pair of worn out leather
gloves and a broad brimmed sun.hat, and a
pair of good stout boots if not stout, then
wear a pair Of thin gum overshoes. The
dampness of the soil is very liable to pro-
duce a 'cold." Don't be afraid that the
labor will hurt you even if you should be-
come very tired on the contrary, it will
strengthen you give you rosy cheeks, and
may add years to your life. There is not a
spring that | do not spend two weeks at
least at work in the garden, and [ tell you
that to me there is nothing so agreeable, |
may say fascinating and this feeling is
doubled when | see the fine flowers and good
vegetables growing and put upon the table
from my own handiwork Margaret, in
