The Onrdron,s eft 10 Hans Andersen.


The following letter from the Danish
poet, Hans Christian Andersen, TO White
law Reid, the editor of the New York
Tribune, will be read with interest by 9TH
ers beside the children. The arrival Of
the books at the time they did-on his
seventeen birthday-was very happy
coincidence;
CorENnAeEN, April II, 1873.
DEAR SrR--Duhng a long period IL has
weighed ON my mind 10 address you-to
express my sincerest thanks for all the
sympathy you have shown mc-but my
illness has pressed me down during this
severe winter so that have had, and still
have, great difficulty in writing. II af-
forded me great pleasure to receive the
volumes about America, with their beauti-
full illustrations, after your having so
heartily interpreted my utterances about
the subscriptions raised in my favor, when
the dear children broke their savings
boxes in order TO support their tale-teller,
whom they believed in want. Christmas
morning received the advice by telegraph.
/ expected the books ere long, and had
then decided Immediately TO send you, my
noble, sympathizing friend, letter in re-
ply. In the meantime weeks and months
passed away. | therefore wrote to my
honored friend, Gen. Christensen, New
York, in order to get information whether
the books were lying with some bookseller
or, perhaps, at the bottom Of the sea.
About simultaneously with his friendly
reply got advice that the steamer had ar
rived, and exactly on my seventeen birth
day | received the books. | rejoice at
this gift, the dearest that could be granted
TO me from the powerful country where l
am happy to have so many friends, young
and old Now, do not only read about
but have before my eyes this beautiful
country, where my age and delicate state
of health will never allow me TO come
How charming if it could have been done
next year to the great feast; but this is
quite out of the question. | have, how
ever, reached greater happiness than
millions of others. My SEVENTEEN birth
day was day of sunshine and bliss-from
my native country and from abroad far
away, came beautiful gifts, letters and
telegrams, and the charming present from
America arrived. | have to thank the
Lord for such infinite grace Yes, am
child of fortune. My life is the most
beautiful tale But felt myselfoverpow-
cred; my delicate health could not bear it.
During the fortnight after the birthday
have been suffering, and unable to write
this letter, which have been very anx-
ious to send you. Be content, pray, with
my words, and give my thanks in richer
and better expressions to young and old.
The precious work, Picturesque Ameri-
ca" is to me dear present, and will be
preserved after me as memory of the
American youths love of their old tale
teller, HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN.

Buy Small Trees.

THE average American is in O great
hurry to realize ON his investments. If
lie orders few garden seeds in January
he is anxious to have them set immedi-
ately; and if he forwards six cents for
copy of sCme paper which contains
story of which he has read or heard he
does not forget to request the publisher
to send it Z" by return mail" Patience
which takes the form Of quiet waiting
is virtue of which he seems to be
wholly ignorant. He cannot wait the
progress of events, but must constantly
hurry and fret in order 10 make nature
move little faster than her wonted
pace.
This tendency crops out very plainly
when he purchases trees. He finds them
described in the catalogue as " second
class" medium, -" first-class" and eek
ira" The difference in these classes is
principally, if not wholly, in the size and
height of the trees. The larger the tree
the higher the price-but the farmer
don't care anything about that" He
wants good trees or nome" and gives
his orders for those of extra size and
which are four or five years old. In doing
this he thinks he is acting wisely, but the
nurseTyman knows better, and the farm
er will find before long that, with equal
care, the small trees will grow faster
and Gf a fruit tree) come into bearing
condition sooner than the large ones,
In half dozen years the tree that was
small when planted will be larger and
finer than the other. The reason for this
is Obvious. The larger the tree the larger
the roots which IL has, and the larger the
roots the less fibers there will be upon
them. A tree that has plenty of fbrous
roots will grow readily if proper care is
used in transplanting; but Lo amount OF
skill cau coax a tree TO live and flourish
which is destitute of these little fibers.
The roots of large trees are all more or
less mutilated in the process of taking
up, while the small trees sustain little
injury from this source. Dealers in trees
assert that experienced men buy small,
thrifty trees, while those who are Just
starting are anxious for the largest ones
to be had. Those who are TO set trees
the coming season will do well to learn
from the experience of those who, at
considerable loss to themselves, have
demonstrated that small trees are the
ones to buY.-A. ~, Homestead.

Fattening chickens.

Iris, hopeless to attempt to 'fatten
chickens while they are AT liberty. They
must be put upin proper coOp, and
this, like most other rappurtenances, need
not be eXpe nslve., To fatten twelve
fowls a coop may be three feet lopg,
eighteen inches high and eighteen inches
deep, made entirely of bars. No part
solid-neither top, sides nor bottom
Discretion must be used, according to
the size of chickens put up. They do
not want any room; indeed, the closer
they are the better, provided they can
all stand up at the same time. Care
must,be taken To put up such as have
been accustomed to be together, or they
will fight. If one is quarrelsome it is
better to remove it atonce, As, Ike eother
bad examples, il soon finds imitators
Diseased chickens should never be put
up.
The food should be. ground oats, and
may either be put UP in q trough or on
tlat board running along the front of the
coop. II may be mixed with water and
milk-the latter Is the better, 1t should
be well soaked, forming d pulp as loose

A Hotel Puff.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
Quirer writes the following eulogy of a
certain hotel at Atlanta, Ga: "It's the
largest hotel, | presume, in the world.
Many people who go up in thesky parlors
TO repose never come down, but go right
onthfeugh to heaven without change of
elevators, and those who have written
back say they could smell the hair oil on
the hair ofthe clerks all the way up. The
halls are so long and winding that many
of the walters get lost while going after
pitcher of water, and are never heard of
until their remains are found years after.
i went in there one morning and ordered
breakfast. A small colored boy took my
order, and il was so far out to the kitchen
that he was grown and gray-headed when
he got back. Itis very large house
hotel Many travellers going South and
returning by this city order their meals in
advance, and frequently when they get
back they have to lay over a week to make
connections. The hotel is very large
one, and everything about it is very large,
from the feet of the clerks, the mouths of
the walters, up to the bills. 1t is provided
with all modern conveniences, hot and
cold water, bay windows, idiots, dirty
sheets--eyerything TO make the traveller
happy, including an undertaker's estab
lishment for the accommodation of such
boarders as starve 10 death while waiting
for the walters, 1t is a very large hotel,
and everybody stops there just once"

CONF, AND LET Us REASON TOGETHER

CONF, AND LET Ue REASON TOGETHER.
TO the afflicted in body we offer few
words of plain, practical reasoning. No
matter under what form Of sickness you
labor there is one great truth you should
ever keep in mind, viz. All disease origi-
mates in an impure condition of the blood.
Purify that, and the disease must depart,
for il has nothing TO feed on but you can
not purify the blood by the use of poison
Gus drugs and exhaustive stimulants; the
relief which these afford Is temporary and
deceptive, leaving you worse off at every
interval. The best Blood Purifier ever
discovered is Dr.. WALKERs FAMOUS VIM
EGAR BITTEBs, compounded of simple
herbs. No matter how hopeless your case
may seem, try the VINEGAR BITTERs, and n
few draughts will convince you of their
virtue. Dr. Walker, the discoverer of
this priceless remedy, had been given up to
die by the Physicians, and is now a sound
and healthy man from their use. SO

Very gratefully,

Most medicines which are advertised as
blood purifiers and liver medicines contain
either mercury in some form or potassium
and iodine variously combined. All of these
agents have strong tendency to break down
the blood corpuscles and debilitate and 9TH
erwise permanently injure the human sys-
TEN, and should therefore be discarded. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, on the
other hand, being composed of the fluid ex-
tracts of native plants, barks and roots, will
in no case produce injury, its effects being
strengthening and curative only. Sarsapa-
rilla, which used to enjoy quite a reputation
as blood purifier is a remedy Of thirty
years ago and may well give place, as it is
doing, to the more positive and valuable
vegetable Alternatives which later medical in
yestigation and discovery have brought to
light In scrofula, or Kings Evil, White
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck,
Goitre, Scrofulons Infiammations, Indolent
Inflammation, Mercurial affections, Old Sores,
Eruptions of the Skin and Sore Eyes, as in all
other blood diseases, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has shown its great re-
medal powers, curing the most obstinate
and intractable cases. Sold by all dealers in

WELLINGTON, Lorain Co, o., Aug "a 1874
Dr. r. V, PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear Sb-Your medicines, Golden Medi-
cal Discovery, Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
have proved of the greatest service to me.
Six months ago no one thought that could
possibly live long. l had a complication of
diseases-scrofula, manifesting itself in
eruptfons and great blotches on my head
that made such sores that could not have
my hair combed without causing me much
suffering; also causing swollen glands, ton
sils enlarged, enlarged or "thick neck" and
large and numerous boils. l also suffered
from terrible Chronic Catarrh and in fact
was so diseased that life was burden to
me. l had tried many doctors with no bene-
fit. finally procured one-half dozen bottles
of your Golden Medical Discovery and one
dozen Sage's Catarrh Remedy and COM
menced their use. At first was badly dis
couraged, but after taking four bottles of
the Discovery began to improve, and when
/ had taken the remaining 1 was wel. In
addition TO the use of Discovery l applied a
solution of Iodine to the Goitre or thick
neck, as you advise in pamphlet wrapping,
and it entirely disappeared. Your Discovery
is certainly the most wonderful blood medi-
cine ever invented. l thank God and you,
from the depths of my heart, for the great
good it has done me. r

as can be, provided II does not run of
the board. They must be well fed three
or four times q day, the first time as soon
after daybreak as may be possible or
convenient, and then at intervals of four
hours Each meal should be as much as
they can eat up clean, and no more.
When they have done feeding, the board
should be wiped and some gravel spread.
II causes them TO feed and thrive
After q fortnight of this treatment you
will have good, fat fowls. If, however,
there are but five or six to be fatted,
they must not have as much room as
though there were dozen. Nothing is
easier than 20 allow them the proper
space, as it is only necessary to have two
or three pieces of wood to pass between
the bars and form partition. THIS may
also serve when fowls are up at differ
ent degrees of fatness. This requires
attention, or fowls will not keep fat and
healthy. AS soon as the fowl is suf-
ficiently fatted 1t must be killed; other
wise it will not get fatter, but will lose
flesh. If fowls are intended for the mar
ket of course they are or may be tatted
at once; but If for home consumption it
is better to put them up at such inter-
walls as will suit the time when they will
be required for the table. ---.--.-------
When the time arrives for killing,
whether they are meant for market or
otherwise, they should be tasted without
food or water for twelve or fifteen hours.
This enables them to keep for some time
after being killed, even in hot weather.
