How A BELLE LOST HER WIG.-The
New York letter of the Chicago ss'Tribune'
says:Mr. Trowbridge's comical story in po-
etc verse, in the July number of Harper's
Magazine, of a fashionable belle who lost
her wig and false teeth overheard, which
were recovered in time to allow her wedding
to one of her suitors, had a counterpart in
half of the story last week in the experience
of party who attended the yacht race on
a steamboat. The sufferer is we'll known
society belle, who has more than once
graced the upper deck of Colonel Delaney
Kane's Pelham coach, and is understood
to be engaged to Wall street broker. She
is only nineteen, and has been noted for
her wealth and blonde hair. Dressing in
half-mourning on account of the death of
relative, the combination of black with
blond has given her disting,te appearance
we'll known to the swells of the Avenue.
Last week, on the occasion of Yacht
race, she was one of a private party on
board small propeller chartered for the
occasion, and as the wind was gusty ana
the sea made sad work with the stomachs
of the party outside of Sandy Hook, there
was an utter abandonment of all pretence
OF personal appearance. Our belle suffer
ed with the rest, when she sought relief
by removing her hat. A sudden puff of
wind the next moment caught her hair and
stripped her head Of its covering. In other
words her mass of blonde head-rigging had
blown overheard, and the poor girl was in
rage of despair. Her lady friends rushed
into the cabin and tried to console her;
but half of them were delighted with her
mishap, and the other half said to them.
selves that it served her right. However,
they managed to arrange her remaining
hair so that it looked passably well. and
she returned to the city, if not crest-fallen,
at least bereft Of her wealth Of hair, and
her reputation as a blonde beauty forever
destroyed.

How TO DISCOURAGE Your PASTOR.

during the sermon, so much the better.
2. Notice carefully any slip he makes
while you are awake: point out the dull

8. Gems ure his efforts at usefulness; de-
plore his want of common sense: let him
know that you won't help him because A.
b. does, because you were not first con-
suited or because you did not start the
plan yourself.
f. Let him know the follies and sins of

5. Tell him when he calls what stran.

you liked them.
6. Occasionally get up little gaiety for
the young folks. This will be found very

7. Give him no intimation when you are

you, will render his visit pleasant. On no
account intimate your recovery.
s. Require him to swell the pomp of

there are prudential reasons for passing

A FEW H1NTs.-In dressing your field,
cut your coat according to your cloth; that
is, don't run in debt for fertilizers; and
when your sheep are tleeced, don't let the
wool dealer pull the wool over your eyes as
to the price.
When you feel like currying fayors, go
into your stable and curry your horses and
cattle; that will pay best.
Do not do as money brokers do, sell your
stock of hay short it is better to have
several tons left over till another season
than to be obliged to buy in the spring.
The time to shear sheep is when you
throw off your coat for the season.
The only kind of stakes that farmers
should hold are fence stakes.
After raising the best crop you can, the
next thing is to raise the mortgage on your
farm; when that is taken up a farmer feels
in better spirits.
Spend rainy days in spring in practicing
dentistry on rakes and harrows; you can do
it just as well as to employ carpenter

A Model Farmers Wife,

Matilda Fletcher thus describes far
mer's wife who is not only beautiful and
wise, but possesses several cardinal virtues
| in addition:
ssThe most beautiful woman I haze ever
known was a farmers wife, who attended
| TO the household duties for family of four
and also assisted in gardening aud the
| light work, and yet never saw her hands
rough and red, and never even saw a
freckle on her nose. Impossible! you say;
how did she manage? I never asked her,
but she had some envious neighbors who
went slouching around with red, scaly
hands, sunburnt faces, and hair matted
with dust and oil, who let me into the
dreadful secret. They informed me with
many an ominous shake OF the head that
she was the proudest mink that ever lived,
that she actually wore india-rubber gloves
when she used the broom and scrubbing
brush and always when she wOrkd out
doors that she also had a bonnet made of
oil-silk, completely covering the head, face
and neck, leaving only appertures for see
ing and breathing, thus securing perfect
freedom from sun, wind and dust. Did
you ever hear of such depravity? She al
SO fastened her dish-cloth to stick SO
that she need not put her hands in the hot
water. For the same reason she accom-
plished her laundry work with machine
and wringer. And then to see her in the
afternoon tricked out in a fashionable
white dress, with bright colored ribbon
a t her throat, and a rose in her hair, en-
srtaining in her parlor, as though she was
I'll le greatest lady in the land, was more
I'll AN their patience could endure. And her
hi lsband He has such satisfied express
sic N that it was perfect aggravation to
ore iinary people to look at him. He de-
ser we'd to be happy because he encouraged
and helped her to cultivate beauty in her
self, lher family and her home; and don't
kno W but her success principally belonged
to h i'm, because he bought all the new in
vent ion s that could tighten her labors, and
all the delicate and pretty things she need
ed to adtrn her home, and when she was
sick Ire would not let her touch work until
she w;,s ell and strong. Strange as it
may seem, at all times he actually devoted
himself to aher with as much care and ten
lerness as b Q would if she had been the
most valuabi e horse on the farm"

A BANDIT G !HIEF's SPEECH TO HIS Eel
LOW CULPRIns AT THE GULL OrINE.-
Some curious d. etails are given of the exc
two of his gang, in the Algerian province
of Oran. On the evening before the be-
heading they were conveyed from Oran to
to Perregaux, every station being thronged
by excited crowds. In the neighborhood
of the scaffold group $ of Moors and Arabs
women chanted funel al dirges necessarily
until daybreak One of them, the sister
of Bou Zian, with chez ks all bloody and
lacerated by her nails, 'ang thus:
My brother is going to leave us
tits my spirit which ia keith flight,
And my house which becomes void.
At daybreak, the prison toilet of the
chief being completed, 5ou Zian asked for
cigaret, drank glas Of lemonade, and,
addressing the interpr eter expressed his
repentance. He threw the blame Of his
crimes on fate, and said be bore nOimalice
against the French. He then exhorted his
two comrades to die brav,,ly. Seeing them
prostrate, he apostrophizeet them in these
terms ''Sons of dogs, are you going to die
like women ?" Yesterday you promised
me to die praying, and I behold you SO
downcast that you have not the strength
to open your mouths, OF even think at this
solemn moment as becomes good Mussul-
mans" On the way to the scaffold Bou
Elan continued to recite verses from the
Koran in a firm voice. He was beheaded
| first. Among the crowd were the relations
of the criminals. who were to take charge
| of the bodies after death. Immediately
after the execution the Arabs approached
I the guillotine, and lay the corpses across
J the mules, carried them away to their
tribes. The bodies were then carefully
washed, and the heads replaced and sewn
! on with thread. The edges of the flesh
| were joined with great difficulty, and when
this operation was terminated the heads
were completely stuck on to the body with
cravat like band of moleen pitch. The
bodies were then wrapped in white cotton
shrouds and carried to the grave, followed
by the relations and friends.-London

SIGNS OF PRosPERITY.-If anybody can
give any better ''signs'' of tip-top state
Of things than the following, let us see the
list:
Where spades grow bright, and idle swords grow
dull;
Where 1ails are empty, and where barns are full;
Where churchpaths are with frequent footsteps
worn;
Law court-yards weedy, silent and forIorn;
Where doctors foot it, and where farmers ride.
Where age abounds. and truth is multiplied;
Where these signs are, they clearly indicate
happy people and well governed state

Poetry.
TO LOVE, TO FORGET, AND TO DIE.

IU IUVh, IU EUkGEI, AMI IU Ulh.
By the popuous land ON the lonesome sea,
Lo! these were the gifts of the gods to men;
Three miserable gifts, and only three:
To love, TO forget, to die-and then?
To love in peril andin bitter-sweet paid,
And then, forgotten, lie down and die;
One moment of sum- whole seasons of rain,
Then night is rolled to the door of the sky.
To love? To sit at her feet and to weep:
To climb to her face, hide your face in her hair;
To nestle you there like a babe in its Sleep
And, too, like a babe, to beeve-it cuts there,
To love? IT'S to suffer. "Lie close to my breast,
Like fair ship in haven, D darling I cried,
Your round arms outstretching to heaven for rest
Make signal to death.'' Death came ant
love died.
To forget? To forget mount horse and clutch sword
Take ship, and make sail to the ice-prisoned seas
Write books and preach; range lands; OF go hoard
grave full of gold, and buy wines and drink lees
Then die: and die cursing, and call it prayer!
Is earth but top-a boy gods delight,
To be spun for his pleasure while mans despair
Breaks out like wall of the damned through
the night?
Sit down in the darkness and weep with nc
On the edge of the world. So love lies dead.
And the earth and the sky and the sky and the sea
Seem shutting together as a book that is read.
Yet what have we learned? We laughed with
delight
In the morning at school, and kept toying with all
Times silly playthings. Now, wearied ere night
Wemust cry for dark mother, her cradle the pail.

eupful of sugar, a small cupful of salt, a
quart of vinegar, a tablespoonful each Of

CoUGHINa.-The best method of easing
cough is to resist it with all the force OF
will possible, until accumulation Of phlegm
becomes greater; then there is something
to cough against, and it comes up very
much easier and with half the coughing.
A great deal of hacking and hemming and
coughing in invalids is purely nervous, or
the result of mere habit, as is shown by
the frequency with which it occurs while
the patient is thinking about it, and it's
comparative rarity when he is SO much en-
gagged that there is no time to think, or
when the attention is impelled in another
direction.

LIME CREAM FOR BURNs.-When lime
is prepared for whitewash, let it settle
until some clear water has risen upon the
top of it. Take off half pint of the
liquid, and when it has settled again, turn
it off clear. Add one part of inseed Oil,
and shake repeatedly until it assumes the
appearance of cream. The lime water
should be strong enough to cut the oil. It
is good for chapped hands and cold sores,
if made with lsweet oil instead of linseod
oil

A GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR ARNICA, and
equally as good for almost all kinds Ut out
ward applications for bruises and lame
ness, is liniment made of the flowers Of
the old fashioned yellow marigolds. They
are but seldom seen in gardens now, but if
their medical properties were better known,
I am sure they would be moro cultivated.
Steep the flowers in as little water as pos
sible to extract the strength; put them into
bottle, and fill the bottle with rum.

In serving fish nothing makes better
adornment than a few sprigs of parsley
sometimes when large fish is to be serv-
ed, and dish large enough is not readily
obtainable, a substitute for the dish can be
had in piece of board, over which nap
kin can be sewed. This method, simple
as it may seem, adds much to the attrac-
tiYeness of the fish.
