CURIOSITIES OF woOING.

In olden times it was the fashion for
a suitor to 90 down on his knees to la
dy when he asked her to become his
wife, which. with very stout gentlemen,
was an uncomfortable proceeding. The
way in which Daniel Webster proposed
to Miss Fletcher was more modern, be-
ing at the same time neat and poetic.
Like many other lovers. he was caught
holding skein of thread or wool which
the lady had been unravelling. "Graoe,
said he, ''we have been untying knots
Let US see if we can tie one which we
cannot unite in a lifetime" With
piece of tape he fashioned half a true
lovers knot, Miss Fletcher perfected it.
and kiss put the seal to the symbolic
al bargain. Most men when they pop
by writing are more straightforward and
matter-of-fact. Richard Steele wrote to
the lady of his heart Dear Mrs. Sour
lock (there were no misses IN those days.
l am tired of calling you by that name,
therefore say day when you will take
that of madam. Your most devoted hum
bic servant. Richard Steele" She fixed
the day aennraineiy and ct~~l~I h~-
name instead of her heart to the sultor.
The celebrated preacher, Whitefeld, pro-
posed marriage to young lady in a
very cool manner-as though Whitefeld
meant field of ice. He addressed a
letter to her parents without consulting
the maiden, in which he said that they
need not be at all afraid of offending
him by refusal, as he thanked God he
was quite free from the passion called
love. OF course, the lady did not con-
clude that his field, however white, was
the field for her. The well known broth
ers. Jacob and William Grimm, were ex-
ceedingly attached to each other, and
had no desire to be married. But it was
thought proper by their friends that one
of them should become a husband, and
Jacob being the elder, it was agreed that
be should be the one to enter the bonds
of matrimoDy. A suitable lady va
found. but Jacob declined TO do the
courting. but soon found that he was il
love. and wanted the lady for himself
He could not think, however. Of depriv

A Truthful Sketch.

Let man fail in business, what an
effect it has on his former creditors!
Men who have taken him by the arm,
laughed and chatted with him by the hour,
shrug their shoulders and pass on with q

Every trifle of bill is hunted up and
presented that would not have seen the
light for months to come, but for the mis-.
fortunes of the debtor. If it is paid, we'll
and good; if not the scowl of the sheriff,
perhaps, meets him at the corner. A man
that has neuer failed knows but little of
human nature.
In prosperity he sails along gently,
waited by favoring smiles and kind words
from everybody. He prides himself on his
name and spotless character, and makes
his boast that he has not an enemy in the
world. Alas! the change. He looks at
the world IN different light when re.
verse comes upon him. He reads suspi.
cion on every brow. He hardly knows
how to move or to do this thing OF the
other; there are spies about him, writ is
ready for his back. To know what kind

Caught &C Last.

A dispatch from Philadelphia says:
Lewis G. Clearmont, alias La Dezma, ali,
as Alfred B. Forrest, was brought on
from New York by one Of Pinkerton's
detectives this morning, and held in the
sum of $5,0O0 by Judge Pierce, as fugi-
tive from justice. Two years ago Clear.
mont was a leading swell at Long Branch,
and woed and won Miss Josephine L..
Dowline, of West Philadelphia, who was
sojourning at the seaside at the time.
The honeymoon was brief, Clearmont
bringing it to an abrupt end by dissp-
pearing simultaneously with $4,000
worth of his brides diamonds The po-
lice, after weary search gave up, but in
consequence Of transaction at Third
street brokers' Office, in March last, Pink
erton's agency were started upon the
scent Of what appeared TO be an attempt
to raise the stock OF the Reading railroad
company, and during their investigations
tracked the defendant who was thereup-
on identified. He is talented, and carried
on some very extensive business with
New York brokers.

Sell Product When In Primo Condition.
Take butter, for example. Hundreds Of
tubs were received that were doubtless of
excellent quality when made, have all the
indications of having been carefully made
and packed, of beautiful color and texture,
and yet when opened tie product stinks
like refuse grease barrel. Why? Be-
cause it has been kept in the farmers Gel
lar too long waiting "r;se." In the first
place though nicely packed, was not pack

ner must be put in alright packages, or
it will rapidly deteriorate in quality and
finally spoil, no matter how excellent it
may have been when first packed. What
is the result? 1t comes on the market to
compete with prime article, and the pro-
ducer gets far less for it than he may have
been offered for 1t at home when it was in

The Public Schools.

Recently in the Long Island diocease
Episcopal convention in Brooklyn, a re-
port Of the committee on Christian Edu.
cation was read by Rev. DR.. T. Stafford
Browne. urging the establishment of a
system Of Episcopal schools in which
church children may obtain religions cul-
ture not possible in the public schools Of
the state. In the public schools, the re-
port says, there is an admitted or compul.
sorry absence Of all exposition or enforce
ment Of definite faith Now while there
is loud boasting in some quarters of this
as happy achievement, it is known
abroad and stigmatized, with some jus.
tice, as the American system; being pro.
fsssedly a Christian country. 1t is true
the attempt is occasionally made to put
religious gloss or veneering over the sec
ularity Of our school system BY the read
ing of few verses of the Bible without
note or comment, zbut such mechanical
act, unaccon'panied by any culture Of
!. conscience Or dogmatic teachings, does
not ipnch relieve The matter. The report

Strawberries In Beds or Hills.

A correspondent writing the Fruit Re.
corder from the Oneida Community gives
his experience as follows:
We have been in the business of raising
Strawberries about "a years. We knew Of
no other bedding system when VIC began,
but for many years past have adopted the
hill system. For simplifying the process
of cultivation, and for increasing the
yield we have thought it preferable. Two
hundred bushels to the acre we regard as
no unusual yield and the amount has
sometimes been greater. 1t is neverthe-
less true that plants in hills are much
more tender than the smaller ones in
beds.
For several years We have adopted what
night be called the drill system. The
rows are 50 inches apart and ten inches
in the row. and the horse hoe that leaves
the ground level is used for cultivating,
and when they are hand hoed the runners
are mostly thrown out at right angles
with the rows. I then run along on both
sides ofcach row with Goodwin's Patent
Strawberry Runner Cutter, which is much
easier to run than an empty wheelbor
row, and cuts the runners as fast as man
may wish to walk or run. A man can cu1
tho runners on more than an acre in 8
day.
If a few runners escape the cutter and
take root in the row do not mind it, fo1
if the winter should be rather hard on
and the larger and more tender plant
should suffer some, these younger AMI
harder plants would in measure, suppl!
their places

CLEANING BLACK C1orH.-To clean |

Donate of Ammonia in one quart of warm |
water. With this liquid rub the cloth,
using piece of flannel or black cloth for
the purpose. After the application of
this solution clean the cloth we'll with

cloth from time to time in the direction of
the fiber.

third Of cup Of sugar and ,wo-th:rds of
q cup of Zante currents. Mix very thor.

Science of Health.
HERR TUscHeR says that if one volume
Of castor oil be dissolved in two or three
volumes Of spirits Of wine, it will render
paper transparent, and, the spirit rapidly
cooperating, the paper in few minutes
becomes fit for use. A tracing in pencil
can then be made, and if the paper is
placed in spirits Of wine, the oil is dis
solved out, restoring the paper to its Or
iginal condition. The drawing may
then be completed in Indian ink or in
colors.
CARE OF MUFF.-When you take it
off give it several hard twirls around to
smooth the tur. When placed in the
box lay it on one side; this prevents the
wadding from sinking downward and
falling into clods. When you put it
away for summer place within it some
Jumps Of camphor wrapped in paper and
sprinkle the outside with powdered
camphor. Then inclose it completely
and tightly in two or three th,cknesscs Of
newspaper. Do not open it until you
want it in the fall. The printers lux on
the papers will assist in keeping out
moths.
Wet the place we'll with warm water
then take some brown paper five or six
times doubled and we'll soaked in water,
lay it on the place, apply on that hot
flat-iron till the moisture is evaporated,
aud if the bruise is not gone repeat the
process. You will find after two or three
applications that the dent or bruise is
raised level with the surface. If the
bruise is small soak it we'll with warm
water, and hold red-hot poker very near
the surface, which is to be kept continu'
ally wetted, and YOU will soon find the in
detation vanished.
