Taking q seat beside the cheerful fire
he sat until after 1.-THE witching time Of
night" thinking of home, but principally
of his new female friend, and listening TO
the deep mutterings of the distant thun-
der and the beating Of the rain against the
window. In the midst of his meditations
he was startled by scream which seem
ingly proceeded from the parlor down.
stairs. Hastily grasping his revolver he
dashed down the steps and sprang into
the parlor Just az bullet whizEed past
his head. BY the reflection of the fife no
observed the lady struggling with the ne
gro who had met him at the door upon his
arrival at the house. With we'll directed
blow he hurled him across the room, and
as the dusky assailant sprang through the
door several leaden missiles followed him
in quick succession.
Turning his attention to the young lady
he discovered that she had tainted. Ap-
plying restoratives, which he happened
to. have with him, he was soon very much
gratified to see her open her eyes. In .
few moments she had fully recovered,
and after thanking him for his 0pcortune
aid related her story. She had fallen
asleep and slumbered until she suddenly
awoke and saw the negro servant enieav-
oring to open her fathers desk, In which
large sum of money was kept. Being
of timid nature, she had placed pistol
under her pillow when she retired, and
grasping this she rose, and in doing so
made slight noise. The burglar turned
around, and when she saw him draw a
glittering knife from his belt she screamed.
He sprang toward her, but she eluded
him and ran around the room, the negro
following. He finally caught her, and as
the young man entered the door she fired
at her assailant, but unfortunately missed
him.
1t is perhaps needless to say that the
young couple chatted away until the re-
turn of the parents in the morning.
They had been compelled to remain at
their neighbours house all night ON &C.
count of the storm, and when their
daughter recounted her adventure it was
no wonder that the old folks were very
grateful to her deliverer.
In compliance with the request of the
trio the young man remained much longer
than he ut first intended. But before he
left he obtained the promise of the lady
to devote the life he had saved to making
him happy as long as he lived. So, when
they stand before the altar in few weeks,
he will doubtless bless the storm that
proved such a source of joy to him.

In the above comparison it will be seen
to what extent New England has suffered,
and that the increase In the number of
failures has not occurred largely either IN
the Western or Southern States.
Some conclusions are drawn by the
agency from the amount of liabilities aris-
ing from the years failures, to be
charged to profit and loss. The circular
says:
in 1875 are in round numbers $2O0, OOO, 900.
From this amount should be deducted 10
per cent. for advance on original cost OF
goods sold to these parties, leaving an ap-
parent lsck. upof $50, 0OO, 900. Estimating
the average yield of failed estates 10 be
33h per cent. (under the operations Of the
new Bankrupt law it will fall far short of
that, the actual loss to capital account by
the failures of the year will stand at about
$40, OOO, 900. This amount is equivalent
to the value of one-half of the cotton crop,
and is more by 80 per cent. than the en-
tire yield Of all the gold and silver mines
OF the country. It Is serious loss that
individuals have to bear, to be deducted
from the profits of business or to trench
upon accumulations Of previous years.
This 100, OOO, 900 of loss represents profit
at 10 per cent on Fl, 9OO, 000, 600 of bust
ness in other words, that amount of bust
ness Of the country for the past year has
been done for nothing, the profits being
absorbed by losses. This loss of $780,
coo, 600 is luckily diffused over good
many centers of trade, and has been pref
ty equally divided between individual
concerns; but it is safe to infer that,
coupled with the decline in values, the
loss by bad debts must have caused q
shrinkage more apparent than in any year
since the panic.-N. r. Herald.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1876-01-27

During the year 1878 the total number
of failures was 5, 1873, with liabilities to the
amount of $22S, 400 600; in 1872 the fail.

1T Is well. known fact that clover has
the singular property of not being able to
extract from the atmosphere, without the
aid Of manttre or stimulants, nitrogen
sufficient for its own proper growth and
nourishment. The straw and roots Of the
clover contain q large amount Of nitro
gen, and these, when plowed down, are
therefore as valuable to the next crop

Prairie Farmer.
A correspondent Of the English Ne-
ehanic gives the following recipe for an
ink, the permanency Of which he says is
perfect, even when bags filed with chem
ical manures have been In rain and sun
shine for ten days: Boil one pound of
logwood chips In one gallon Of water, at
boiling point, ten minutes; then stir in
the eighth of an ounce of bichromate of
potash, and boil this ten minutes loneer;
then add, when cold, oae.half pound of
common gum, dissolved, and stir well in.
This will flow well from the pen, and will
block. The cost of the above ink is
about twelve cents per gallon.
Good cupboards can be made of large
boxes. Put shelves inside, and nail q
strip around the top of the box so as to
extend three or four inches above the lev
ell; this will prevent articles from sliding
of. The whole is to be painted q good,
dark color. This, in the kitchen, II not
used for holding dishes, will hide so many
things that after while you will think
it indispensable. Small boxes make nice
foot-stoOls. Stuff the top, which serves a.
lid to the box, thus making it doubly
useful-good for holding old newspapers,
rags, etc. A whole set of these will be
found useful. In the sitting room they
make good seats for children. Small box
Is are also nice to hold winter flowers.
Take them about twelve inches deep,
eighteen inches lorg by twelve wide

The pure white boxes, with the green
leaves so fresh above them, make q beau
tiful contrast. Keep them near door or
window.
The following extract is clipped
from very interesting address delivered
by Maj. VIM. j. Sykes, in Brownsville,
Tenn: ITO be u perfect farmer man
should combine reading, observation and
practice. A man may work in the fields
all his life and be a poor farmer. We
should gain knowledge by reading and
study, and also by what we see around
US, and then this knowledge must be
put into practice. Our views, if they
will not stand the test of actual expert
ments, are worthless. All sound theory
is based upon practice, aud all sensible
practice is the result of we'll gr ounded
information, whether learned by our own
observation or from the experience OF
others. That theory which will not stand
the test Of experience is worthless, and
that practice which is not based upon
sound theory is equally worthless"
