f.M Ou.dn in Eireside rriend

I'M. Quad" in Fireside Frisnd.l
When l 90 out into the country to
visit my relatives, the spare bed ri
ses up before my Imagination days
before l start, and | shiver as | re-
member how cold and grave-like the
sheets are. | put off the visit as long
as possible, solely Oh account of that
spare bed. don't like to tell them
that | had rather sleep on = picket
fence than to creep into that spare
bed, and SO they know nothing of my
sufferings.
The spare bed is always as near q
mile and half from the rest of the
beds as it can be located. It's either
up stairs at the head of the hall, or
off the parlor. The parlor curtains
haven't been raised for weeks; every
thing is as prim rs an old maids bon
net, and the bed is as square and true
as if it had been made up to car
penter's rule. No matter whether IT
be summer or winter, the bed is like
ice, and it sinks down in q way to
make one shiver. The sheets are
slippery clean, the pillow slips rustic
like shrouds, and one dare not stretch
his legs down for fear of kicking
against q tombstone.
One sinks down until he is lost in
the hollow, and foot by foot the prim
bedposts vanish from sight. He is
worn out and sleepy, bu: he knows
that the rest of the family are SO far
away that no one could hear him if
he should shout for an hour, and this
makes him nervous. He wonders if
anyone ever died in that room, and
straightway he sees faces Of dead
persons, hears strange noises, and
presently feels chill galloping up
and down his back.
Did anyone ever pass comforta-
bic night in a spare bed; no matter
how many quilts and spreads covered
him he cou'd not get warm, and if he
accidentally fell asleep it was to
awake with a start under the impress
sion that dead man was pulling his
nose. 1t will be days and weeks be-
fore he RECEIVERS from the impression,
and yet he must suffer in silence, be
cause the spare bed was assigned
him in token Of esteem and affection.

seed Germ.

Believing it better to raise some of
the corn we use, than to rely entirely
on the West, and that on the selec-
and care of the seed depends enough
to claim more attention than it some
times receives, the following hints are
given:
The continued using Of the largest
ears for seed gives = larger growth,
and too large a stalk for the size of
the ear, IS vii! be proved by facts
given in this communication. Select
ing the ears that ripen first, tends to
mature the next crop earlier. Ears
from q stock on which there are two
are quite likely to produce the same
number. In laying in future supply,
take such ears rs have most condi-
tions favoring what you wish TO Sc
cure. And in this, regard should be
had to location. A valley will produce
and ripen . larger kind than field
having an altitude Of six hundred
feet; . south and east slope, than a
north or west. II you are afraid of
frost and want to grow corn earlier,
save the ears that ripen first, going
into your fields and picking before
harvest. If you wish to enlarge pick
for the largest ears, and you have it
in little time, and, in any case, let
the ears be well filled, the corn un-
injured by frost, tit may be saved
much earlier than usually harvested,
or soon AS the ears are well glazed),
capped over ut the end, if It is cap
corn, and the kernel deep, thus leav-
ing small cob, compared to the size
of the ear. Different fields Of grow
ing corn, if examined after the ear
has filed, show q marked contrast in
the size of the ear compared with the
stalk.
Our neighbor, Mr.. D., is noted
for growing two or more ears on one
stalk. The writer of this asked him
his method of culture. The reply was,
81 enrich and prepare the ground
we'll, and take great care in selecting
seed, using only such ears as grow
two or more on one stalk" Some
corn from Mr.. D-'s field was carried
to another town, and planted by Mr..
NJ on about the same kind of soil,
M always taking the largest ears
for seed. After few plan ings Ms
fold of growing corn differed much
from that of DIS, and when search
was once made, on Mr.. Ms entire
field could be found not one stalk on
which grew two good ears. We have
no "branching corn with ears glued
to the stalk, nor any other corn for
sale, and only that our experience
and observation have from year to
year demonstrated the Importance of
care and attention in this matter has
thus been written, hoping, If it shall
be spread upon the printed page, it
may elicit thought, awaken inquiry,
and so benefit some to try and see
what can be done, and begin this

The shoe ofa sandusky Belle.

Mr.. Damon, gentleman selling
shoes for a leading mandatory OF
Worcester, Massachusetts,, was in the
city yesterday, and in addition to his
other baggage brought with him and
exhibited to few admiring friends
shoe that has done good service on
the foot of reigning belle of San.
dusky, Ohio. This delicate souvenir
might we'll be placed in comparison
with the glass slipper tnat compress
ed the arching instep of Cinderella
The Sandusky bellies is numbered
seventeen, extra large is only four
teen inches from toe to heel, and six
inches across the broadest par, of the
sole, and its former occupant is not
happy, for the other shoe is just like
it, and her feet grow one size every
year. She is only sixteen years old
Just budding into womanhood. We
shudder as we contemplate the result
should she live to good old age and
keep up her pedal development.
In addition to the main edifice
there is bay window on the eas,
side Of the gaiter, to accommodate
few exotic bunions, and an extensive
corn patch to the west. A back
porch has also been constructed on
the heel to protect growth in that
direction, while one tiny toe nail has
cut q cash like spade slash out in,o
daylight on the northernmost part of
the structure.
The girl only weighs eighty-fve
pounds, and has received eommis
sion to go West next summer to
tramp grasshoppers in Colorado.

They came near having domestic
tragedy in Council Bluffs few
nights ago. A citizen Of that place,
being called out of town by urgent
business, bid a fearful and tender
farewell to his wife and babes and
started out His mission was ac-
complished sooner than he had an
ticipated, and taking the evening
train he arrived home at about mid
night. Going to his house he quietly
let himself in with latch key and
silently went up stairs. The gas was
burning low, but there was light
enough for him to distinguish two
forms in bed, where, according to his
logic, but one should be. Though
half crazed by the sight, some rem
nanis of GOODNESS remained, and he
withdrew to secure a witness to sub
stantate the statement he would be
compelled to make. After a weary
search he found policeman, and re-
turning to the house, stationed him
at the foot of the bed. A motion OF
his finger and the gas blazed at full
head, and there, in the place where
he only of all men had right to be

For husband or wife to warn the
public against trusting the worse or
better half has always been consider
ed q perfectly justi6able, if not alto
gether delicate proceeding; but
whether it is justi6able for lady to
advertise recreant lover may we'll
be doubted. In Oswego county, N.

judging from the following notice
which was sent by maiden calling
herself "Sophia Baker" to journal

Some very shrewd games are play
ed by lobbyists in the sale of the
votes Of members and Senators in
Congress, whom these agents would
never dare approach with even an ar
gument or suggestion. But this is
little wonder, for shrewdness is the
life long study of these gentlemen,
who pass their lives on the ragged
edge of great expectations, but q
small majority of which are ever real
lied. Charles Sumner once learned
that his vote had been sold upon some
measure, and the shyster who sold his
vote never even spoke to the great
Senator. He manipulated the matte
in this way: BY some means or 9th
er he ascertained that Mr.. Sumner
would favor the whatever
it was. He straightway informed the
party interested in the bill that he
would obtain Mr.. Summers vote for a
certain sum of money--as he could
control it. If he did not vote for it..
the broker would not charge cent for
his services. "He knew he could
get him." The party interested was
cutioned not to let any one else men
tion the matter to Mr. Sumner or tam
per with him in any way. 81 will as
sumo the responsibility of getting
his vote; depend on me alone" Sole
ly upon his own judgement Mr.. Sum
ner voted for the bill, and it is pre-
sumable that the man who would not
have dared to speak to him, whom he
would not have recognized nor have
listened to for one moment, got a
round price for his vote. And Mr..
Sumner said he had no doubt his
vote had been similarly sold on many
other occasions. Recently, in the
matter of claim which was voted
down las, winter and two or three
times during the present session, the
votes of several members were sold
by one party for the moderate sum
of 81 900 each. 1t turned out, how
ever, and very sadly for this whole
sale and retail dealer in Congression-
al influence, that every vote he had
sold was recorded against the claim.
He failed to deliver the goods.
