Autumn House Cleaning.

She has got on torn dress, hitched
up at one side sufficiently to reveal an
unbuttoned shoe; there are flakes of
whitewash in her hair and on her chin !;
her dress is wet, her fingers are parboiled,
and her thumb has been. split with
hammer, but her eye is as clear and
bright as that of major-general on
field day. She picks up handful of
skirts and skins through the apartments,
seeing five hundred things that should
be done at once, and trying to do them /;
and every time she comes in reach of the
dresser, she snatches look into the
glass, and shoves fresh hair-pin into
her dilapidated coil. And thus planted
in the debris, like queen on her throne,
she unblushingly asserts that " It's an
awful job; !" Everything is in wretch
ed shape;" "I'll be SO glad when this
is over (" 1t does seem as if my back
would snap in two " I'm good mind
to say I'll never clean house again so
long as | live" And then her mind un-
consciously scars heavenward, and she
wonders if there will be house-cleaning
season there, and if not, how a heaven
can be made of it. 1t is this speculation
which gives her that dreamy expression
when she is cutting your bread with the
soap-knife. ife.-Danb1ry Neaos.

A SCENE IN A N. Y, POLICE COURT.
"A story to be read and remembered by
both old and young, especially our young
men
johnson, the officer says that you
were drunk, and that you haven't drawn
sober breath for week. How is that,
johnson? " the justice asked of the
prisoner.
Yer homer" said johnson, as he
dropped one arm over the rail and lean
ed back heavily on the policeman, who
supported him by the shoulder, it's
true. I've been drunk for a week as
you say; and l haven't got a word to
defend myself. I've been in this court
a hundred times before, and asked your
honor to let me off light. But this time
don't fear You can send me up for
ten years, it's all one now" AS he
spoke he brushed away tear with his
hat and when he paused he coughed a
dry hacking cough, and drew his tattered
coat nearer about his throat. "When
/ went up before / always counted the
days an hours till I'd come of. This
time I'll count the blocks to Potter's
Field. I'm almost gone, Judge"
He paused again, and looked down to
his almost shoeless feet.
"When l was a little country boy"
he Went on, my mother used to say to
me Charlie if you want to be man
never touch liquor; an I'd answer,
No, mother / never will If I'd kept
that promise, you an me wouldn't have
been so well acquainted, judge. If |
only could be boy again for half a
day. If | could go into the old school
house just once more, an see the boys
an girls as | use to see them in the old
days, l could lay right down and die
happy. But it's too late. Send me up,
Judge. Make it ten days, or make it
for life. 1t don't make no difference.
One way would be as short as the other
All l ask now is to die alone. I've been
in crowded tenements for years. If l
can be left alone little while before |
go I'll drop off contented."
The shoulder of the muddy coat slip
ped from the policeman's hand. and the
used up man fell in heap on the floor
He was carried to the little room behind
the rail. His temples were bathed and
his wrists were chaffed. But it was no
use Though his heart still beat, he
was fast going to join his schoolmates who
have crossed the flood. The shutters
were bowed and the door closed. He
might die contented for he was left
alone.

The siamese Twins Surpassed.

One of the most remarkable freaks of
nature ever known has taken place in
South Carolina. 1t is in the shape of a
double child, or more strictly speaking,
two children joined together. The curl
osity is the offspring of colored parents,
Crittenden and Sarah Jones, of Beech
Island, of South Carolina. One of the
children is perfect developed female,
large for her age, and with every appear
ance of perfect health. The other, who
is male, is but imperfectly developed,
and has only the rudiments of limbs, and
does not eat, depending for subsistence
upon its sister These two beings are
joined together by wide band, in the
center of which one of the lungs of these
strange creatures, seems to be located.
Touch the male and the female will
shrink pinch it and it will cry. Re
verse the operation, and still it is the fe-
male who shows sensibility. The head
of the male is small and misshapen, the
ears presenting more the appearance OF
those of an animal than those of hui
man being. The pulsation of the heart
and the act of respiration can be plainly
perceived in the ligament joining the
bodies. This ligament, if such it can be
called, is Joined to the girl at the end of
the breast bone, and to the male lower
down. 1t is broad and thick, covered
with skin like the rest of the body.
Whether there are two distinctive sets of
vital organs or whether both are de.
pendent upon one has not been deter
mined. The latter opinion seems to pre-
vail however. 1t is apparent, at any
rate, that the male receives nourishment
through its companion. A well known
physician examined the twins, and pro-
nounced them to be the most wonderful
natural phenomenon of the kind in the
world. The mother and father of the
children are both strong and healthy.
Twins we're never born to them before.
| The twins have since died,

Very Young Children at Funerals

Some of us have learned lesson late
ly with regard to children too young to
understand about death. Little Flor
ence was not three years old when her
baby brother died. So long as his lit.
tie body lay in the crib she showed no
particular grief, probably supposing that
he would soon awake. But when stran-
gers took him from the house, in his cof-
fin, she began to be seriously troubled.
AT the grave her distress was so keen
that all who witnessed it must have felt
that great mistake had been commit
ted in allowing her to be present. Do
not put my little brother in that hole"
she screamed in piercing tones, and no
one could calm her. She was afterwards
told that her little brother had gone to
heaven; but no one could disabuse her
mind of the belief that heaven is in that
dark hole where she saw the coffin low
cred. When her mother told me about
it, assuring me that she should never
again allow so young child to receive
such a shock, | thought with new i'm
pulse of affection of that sympathizing
mother (mention in the May Agricul-
turist) who dressed the grave of her
friends child with evergreen boughs
and flowers, so that all appearance of a
bare open grave" was removed, and
the coffin was gently placed in "a bed
of sweetest flowers"
Little Florence came running to me
the other day to report what kind
hearted friend had told her-something
about Oh such pity flowers, and oh |!
so many pity things to play with-oh
so nice Who has them }" | asked
not knowing what she was talking about.
Little brother down in heaven" she
answered, "Doaon i' Well, that may
be as well as to say sup in heaven" in
a literal sense. was glad that the lit
tie one had received an idea of heaven
that made it seem a pleasant home to
her childish comprehension and perhaps
she will some day be able to conceive of
brighter entrance to that happy land
than the gaping grave she saw.-Ameri-
can AgricoLturist.

Webster's Home.
ITS PRESENT CONDITION - REMNANTS OF
PAST GREATNESS.

ITS PRESENT CONDITION - REMNANTS OF
PAST GREATNESS.
A correspondent of the Boston Globe
has been visiting the farm of Daniel
Webster at Marshfeld, and writes The
mansion house is typical American
homestead, quite extensive, with the air
of comfort and convenience, and in some
way impresses one as the abode of past
greatness. Sufficiently ornate to satisfy
good taste, it has an unpretentious grand
eur that accords well the spot. Though
occupied as private residence and not
open for public inspection, still the writ
er and friend were most politely received
and shown the principal rooms by the
excellent lady of the house. The first
room visited was the library, which is
the finest and naturally the most inter-
esting apartment. 1t is situated in one
of the wings of the house, and was de-
signed by Julia, the lamented daughter,
especially for her fathers use, and in its
plan and arrangement does great credit
to her taste and skill. 1t is left nearly
as possible as it was at Mr.. Webster's
death-the great massive writing table,
the favorite chair, the pictures, and or
naments remain mementoes of other
days and vividly recall the great life
with which they were so intimately as
sociated. Most of the books have been
removed from the cases for sale, but
their places are supplied with articles of
Uertu and ornaments of great variety
and value, the collection of lifetime.
The high vaulted walls are adorned
with pictures and busts, many of the
former family portraits, the most con-
spicous being one of Mr. Webster, by
Healy, painted at the time of the sigma
ture of the Ashburton treaty, and an
other of Major Edward Webster in the
uniform of the Massachusetts Mexican
volunteers. The staff and white felt hat
are suspended in their accustomed place
over the picture of their former posses
sor. Other rooms, the music room, the
dining and morning rooms, the star
chamber, and Mr.. Webster's room, in
which he died, were shown us, and the
particular features and souvenirs pointed
out. They are all preserved in appear
ance as when the household lost its mas
ter and the nation its greatest intellect.
In the dining room many pictures OF
| favorite cattle, drawn from life hang on
the walls, while in other miniatures of
grandchildren and sketches of Webster
in rude home garb and white hat attract
the eve. From the window of the morn
ing-room, looking out upon the great
elm, the final farewell was taken two or
three days before his death of the herd
of $50 cattle, driven up for their owner S
last view. Mr.. Webster had strong
attachment for his cattle, and talked to
them and fondled them as though they
were intelligent beings. The rooms
have that home-like aspect in keeping
with the character Of one " to the man.
or born" who here sought relief from
the cares of state and life, and ever
yearned for the peace and pleasure of a
beloved New England home in which he
was reared.

The Fate Of American villas.

The New York Times says very
handsome house and extensive place on
the New Haven Road, which cost $780,
900, was last week sold for taxes for
$3.50, The finest place on the Upper
Hudson, the Montgomery Place." the
former property of the distinguished
publicst, Edward Livingston, is said to
have been offered for sale recently for
eighteen or twenty thousand dollars.
This estate was valued at at least $780,
900. Its park and gardens, and old
woods and grand views of mountain and
river, are not surpassed in the United
States. Another splendid property near
by, valued at 100000, cannot be sold
for its mortgages, which are not large.
One of the old Livingston manors, on
the Hudson, has been offered lately for
the value of the woods upon it. The
most expensive country house in the
State, in the region back of Poughkeep-
sic, it is said, would not sell for the price
of the magnificent columns which sup
port its interior portico. On the Lower
Hudson, conservatory which cost co.
900, and whose flowers cost 10000 is
found to be such burden that the wild
ow of the late owner is glad to sell the
flowers for trihing sum, and leave the
building unused.
These facts in regard to expensive
homesteads are not, says the Times, Pc
culiar to New York, but are characters
tic of the whole country. They are due
not so much to the depression in busi-
ness as to the character of our govern
ment and our people. With no laws of
primogeniture, and no custom of trans
mission to the eldest son, the tendency is
at all times to break up great properties
at the death of their owners and scatter
them among numerous heirs and lega-
tees.
In America there is constant changing.
The bottom rises to the top and the top
sinks to the bottom. The rich grow
poor and the poor rich. 1t is said that,
as rule, fortune never continues in
one family more than four generations,
and under such condition of things a
landed or real estate aristocracy is i'm
possible.
Again the decadence of the grand
real properties of our rich men of the
past is largely due to change in the
habits of our people. Formerly rich
men piled up great country palaces in
which to live in summer; now the GUS
tom is for those who can afford it flee to
the mountain or the seaside on the APP
proach of hot weather, and to vary from
year to year their journeying. The
Times draws this conclusion;
" The proper inference from all these
facts is that every man of means should
coutent himself with moderate landed
estate, and seek his enjoyment of land
scape-gardening or beautiful grounds,
from public parks and gardens"

CURIOUS HISTORICAL FACT.-Dur.
ing the troubles in the reign of Charles
|, a country girl came to London in
search of place as a servant maid, but
not succeeding, she hired herself to car.
ry out beer from a brewhouse and was
one of those called tub women. The
brewer observing good looking girl in
this low occupation, took her into his
family as a servant, and after short
time married her. He died while she
was yet a young woman, and left her
the bulk of his fortune. The business
of brewing dropped, and Mr.. Hyde was
recommended to the young woman, as a
skillful lawyer, to arrange her husbands s
affairs. Hyde, who was afterwards
Earl Clarendon, finding the widows for
tune considerable, married her. Of this
marriage there was no other issue than
a daughter, who was afterwards the
wife of james H., and mother of Mary
and Anne, Queens of England.

The Soft Answer.

The husband was of quick temper and
often inconsiderate. They had not been
married a year, when one day, in fit of
hasty wrath, he said to his wife:
want no correction from you. If
you are not satisfied with my conduct,
you can return to your home whence /
took you, and find happiness with your
kind"
"If L leave you,' returned the un-
happy wife, "will you give me back that
which l brought to your"
Every dollar l covet not your
wealth, you shall have it all back"
"Ah," she answered. Il meant not
the wealth of gold. thought not of
dress. | meant my maiden heart-my
first and only love-my buoyant hopes,
and the promised blessings of my wo-
manhood. Can you give these to me?
A moment of thought, of convulsion,
and then taking her in his arms
" No, no, my wife, 1 can not do that,
but will do more; | will keep them
henceforth unsullied and unpained. L
cherish your blessings as my own; and
never again, God helping me, will 1 for
get the pledge l gave at the holy altar,
when you gave your peace and happi-
ness to my keeping.
How true it is that a soft answer turn.
eth away wrath and how many, oh,
how many of the bitter strifes of life
might be avoided by remembering and
acting in accordance Herewith.

The Hindoo Egg Dance.

The dancer, dressed in corsage and
very short skirt, carries willow wheel
of moderate diameter fastened horizon
tally upon the top of her head. Around
this wheel threads are fastened, equally
distant from each other, and at the end
of each of these threads is slip-noose,
which is kept open by glass bead.
Thus equipped the young girl comes to-
wards the spectators with basket full
of eggs, which she passes around for in
spection to prove that they are real, and
not limitations. The music strikes up
jerky, monotonous strain, and the dancer
begins to whirl around with great rapid
ity. Then, seizing an egg, she puts it in
one of the slip-nooses, and with a quick
motion, throws it from her in such way
as to draw the knot tight. The swift
turning of the dancer produces contri-
fugal force which stretches the thread
out straight like a ray shooting from the
circumference of the circle. One after
another the eggs are thrown out in these
slip-nooses until they make horizontal
aureole or halo about the dancers head.
Then the dance becomes still more rapid,
so rapid, in fact, that it is difficult to
distinguish the features of the girl the
moment is critical, the least false step
the least irregularity in time, and the
eggs dash against each other.
But how can the dance be stopped ?
There is but one way,-that is, to re-
move the eggs in the way in which they
have been put in place This operation
is by far the more delicate of the two.
1t is necessary that the dancer, by sim
gle motion, exact and unerring, should
