The Miser.

After an inundation Of the 20, which had
completely desolated Lombardy, | went
around with my uncle, who was priest Of
San Babla, to collect money for the suf-
ferers. The eloquent pleading of the priest
worked wonders--every one gave something.
We were just about going home at dark,
when my uncle said, /" hear the Cavaliere
Briccioli's cough no must live in the
room above us" " However" he continued,
though he is immensely wealthy, he wears
patched boots, and always rides with dri-
vers just TO save few pence; we can ex-
pect little from him. Still, let us try, If it
is only for ten pence"
As he spoke he turned back, entered the
gate, aud asked the porter how the cava-
liere was.
." lie is in bed, your reverence" said the
man he has not been seen to-day. All
he won't live long with that cough of his !"
" Alas poor man | am sorry to hear 1t u
d" Poor man, indeed I" cried the porter.
4" lie has plenty of money, aud yet he is so
misery he will have neither doctor nor
medicine"
We tapped at the cavaiere's door, aud in
a moment found ourselves in a dark ante
room. Your pardon, sir" called the caya-
liere- from an adjoining bedroom, "when one
does nothing but cough and doze it is not
necessary TO see In a moment you shall
have a light"
We fumbled for match, and soon
lighted bit of candle. could hardly keep
from laughing. The room, however, was
dark, and he did not seem 10 see my amuse-
ment
"Sit down, gentlemen" said he. Tell
me what can do for you, Don Tomaso-'
My uncle brought forward his most con-
vincmg arguments, and the cavaliere listened
with downcast eyes, coughing every now and
again Then raising his head he cried
Alas what great deal of misery there
is in the world One ought to have the
treasures of Cresus to do anything TO relieve
it. cannot am only poor creature
-"
My uncle saw that he was throwing SOAP
and water away as the saying goes, and
therefore rose to take his leave.
81 am sorry, signor' he said; Every
sorry"
:" BE good enough to seat yourself again,
said the cavaliere; at such time | ought
TO do my part, also
With these words the cavaliere opened
cupboard, and taking from thence a purse
handed, TO my amazement, heap Of gold
napoleons to my uncle. Then turning t.
me, he said, gravely, "Youug man, learn
that 10y going without candles one can some
times benefit ones felowmen.'
You can imagine how foolish felt at thii
reproof We took our leave, and he escorted
us to the door, saying; 81 AIN sorry car
do no more"
Gu my return to Payia, learned that tn,
cayaliere was dead. lie had left numerous
charitable legacies, and his diary prove,
that he helped the poor in every town h
visited. lie had always been doing good il
secret Misery he had been for himself
but not so for others, and though on accoun
of his old clothes he was often despise'
while he lived, after death his name wa
blessed by hundreds.

The Hebrew Brothers.

When our great Teacher told His hearers,
in the Sermon on the Mount, that they ought
to make up their quarrels, and forget their
mutual hatreds before performing an act Of
worship, probably many of them felt their
hearts respond to His words. Any jew, who
brought his gift to the altar" could know
from his own Scripture, that the form of
prayer is nothing without the right frame of
mind.
There is a true story from the Neither
lands, that two Hebrew brothers, Joseph and
Isaac, aifectionate, but naturally high-tem-
pered, one day had a difference, and parted
in hot anger.
1t was the day before the Sabbath, and as
evening drew near, Josephs wife observed
him walking TO and fro, looking uneasy and
unhappy. She finished and laid aside her
weekly work, and waited for him to come in
and make the usual preparation. The sun
went down, but he still moved about, and
seemed to grow more nervous and gloomy
every minute.
She spoke to him. Z" Husband, it is al
most dark. VIII you not light the Sabbath
lamp 2"
But Joseph paid no heed.
Presently she called him again. "Dear
husband, why do you not come in ? The
Sabbath has already begun Behold over
head the Lord has lit His stars. But our
lamp is dark"
Then Joseph, looking more troubled than
ever, suddenly seized his staff and walked
away, leaving his wife in anxiety and WON
der. lie was gone, however, but very
short time, and when he returned his face
and manner We're entirely changed.
Calmly he offered the Sabbath prayer,
and then, with a smile, he lit the Sabbath
lamp. His life, still wondering, questioned
him.
Rebecca, my beloved" he said, 81
could not worship till | was reconcied
with Isaac. 1t is done, and now am at
peace"
But" said she, how could you 90 to
lsaac's house aud come back so soon 2"
All, Rebecca, my brother could not rest
any more than |, aud he met me on the way.
and there we embraced and wept together"
BE angry and sin not. Let not the sun
go down upon your wrath" is a Christian
precept. But more primitive worshippers
of God, who have never owned that the
New Testament is the perfect blossom of
the Old, are found to obey this as pious
obligation, proving that the law of love is as
ancient as the creation.

Actual business transactions on the farm,
the buying and selling, paying out money
and receiving it, come at irregular intervals,
and are not calculated TO foster regularity of
habit at all. For this reason it is better to
keep accounts IN the form of diary, in
which all transactions of the day are re-
corded, together with weather records occu-
pations, remarks, etc. We were lately
shown a record of this kind that had been
kept for five years past, all in one book.
The pages were ruled OFF by perpendicular
lines into columns for day of week and
month, weather records, occupations of the
day, cash paid out cash received, stock or
grain, etc, sold, notes given, notes paid, and
general remarks. Two open pages of thirty
one lines each, embraced the diary of a
month. The aspects of the weather were
given in one column, as clear, rain, snow,
frost, etc. and the state Of the barometer
and Thermometer in another column. Ii
was a simple, practical, and very satisfactory
method OF keeping accounts, and we would
commend il 10 every farmer who has not
adopted a more comprehensive system. The
daily entries can be made in ten minutes
time each evening, and at the end Of the
year you have brief but very satisfactory
history of what has occurred on the farm.
OF course we only indicate the general ma
ture of this method. Each farmer can vary
1t TO suit his own circumstances. III u
farmer desires TO keep accounts with fields
aud stock, let him have a separate book for
each. Such system every farmer can
readily understand and put into practice,
and we would urge them to begin now

The Springfield Republican of recent

Good butter is almost the only commodity that
does not share the general depression Of prices
aud is, If anything, higher than year ago, es-
pecaly the choice grades There is AN immense
amount of poor butter In the market, and 1t finds
sale at low figures It is currently reported that
considerable suet butter, which costs fourteen
cents pound To manufacture, is ON the local
market at about twenty -fye cents. At any rate,
il Is certain that many people can't tell suet but
ter from inferior dairy article. Illinois butter
at twenty-five cents by the pail, has been whole
sailed to considerable extent, and many com
mon Vermont diaries are sold for twenty-eght
wholesale, Nothing choice In the way Of tub but
ter can be bought less than thirty cents by the
tub, and few extra lots command thirty-two
The incest tub butter In the local market no longer
comes from Vermont as formerly hut from the
great diaries and creameries Of Western New
York Choice lump or roll butter which is al
ways worth five cents pound more than tub but
ter, and which Of necessity comes from the sur
rounding country, is growing scarcer year by year
ms the farmers turn their attention more to milk
producing and general farming. The gilt-edgel
article sells at retail for forty-three cents at pres
emit the wholesale price being five cents less Per
haps the best gilt-edged in the city comes from
some large Worcester county dairies along the
line Of the Ware River road 1t Is made into one
and two pound lumps-halls the granger calls
them--each lump is wrapped in thin cloth before
packing, and the boxes are always sent by ex-
press. In this way the butter is received in good
condition even in July. It used TO be said that
none but Yankees could make No l. butter, but
the Yankee girls have no longer the strength or
disposition, and in several towns hereabouts the
best butter to be had comes from the Irish farm
ers."
The last sentence Of the above extract is
specially commended to the attention of our
lady readers, but there is food for thought
in the whole of it. In regard to the "suet
butter" to which allusion is made, we have
lately been investigating the subject, and
shall give our readers an account of this
fraudulent manufacture, which is assuming
a considerable importance.

The Young Fireman.

lie was an obedient boy, and great com
fort to his parents. He tried in every way
he could TO tighten his mothers labors he
was always ready TO go for water, to replen-
ish the wood-box, prepare the kindling for
the morning fire, and gather supply of
chips from a neighboring ship,yard and
many nice dry piece of wood found its
way into his basket, for the sturdy ship
builders noticed with many encouraging
words and acts the industrious little fellow.
But there came a day when the light of
Johnnies home was darkened, its strongest
support was taken away and he was left its
sole comfort. For many years his father
had been employed as railway engineer,
daily passing the cottage that contained all
that he held dearest on earth, where he never
failed TO see, as the train flew by, a waving
handkerchief and nodding, smiling face. 1t
was painful blow TO this happy little cir
Gle, and a sad Homecoming when the father
was borne into it only TO die. We read ac-
counts of fearful disasters on the railroad.
and the names of such and such persons
among the killed and wounded, and we of.
ten see {" the engineer fatally scalded," little
realizing what the item means TO many desc
lated hearts. In Just this cruel way, faith
full at his post, Engineer Hobart met his
DEATH leaving only the memory of kind
husband and father, aud an honest and true
man.
The home belonged to them. After many
years of close economy, the monthly add
ton to the house-fund steadily accommodating,
resulted in the possession of the cottage as
their own. But Notwithstanding this, want
came in at the door aud cast its shadow over
all when the chief stay was cut down and

MES brave heart sank when he saw how
hard his mother had TO labor and her sad,
patient face haunted him even in his Sleep
ing hours. The question, what can do to
help2 preyed upon him continually, and,
thoughtful boy as he was, he kept his ankle
ties and fears TO himself, for he wanted to
take from, not add TO, her sorrow.
One morning he went out into the sun
shine with the tears fast filling bis eyes. As
he wandered ON and on following the iron
track, his heart was full OF tender memo
ries. Reaching at last the station, he sat
down behind large snow-plow and putting
his face into his hands he gave way to the
strong feelings that oyerpowered him.
For some time he sat there alone, when
hearty voice sounded in his ears, "Why,
johnnie, my boy, it is always darkest lust
before day; there is light ahead" The
truthful gray eyes turned to the speaker,
who was a tried friend of his fathers and
an employe on the same road.
"You are just the lad was looking for"
he continued, zone of our train-hands has
been dismissed as Enthusiastically, and we
want Johnnie Hobart to fill the vacancy"
How the shadows fadded away and how
eagerly he clasped the outstretched hand of
this kind man, who was sent, the friend in
deed in this time Of need, by the "God of
the widow and the fatherless." Most CRATE

It is curious how farmers seem literally to
get on the wrong scent ia seeking to pre-
serve their stable manure from waste. Thus
many will allow the most Of the liquids to
drain away thus losing nearly or quite half
of the plant food obtainabe from their stock,
or will permit their manure piles to be
leached by heavy rains aud the drip from
unspouted caves, while they will suffer great
distress over the imagined loss from the
cheating" of dung heap. Dr. Noelcker,
one of our best modern authorities says
(Jounal Royal Agricultural Society, $3.50
" II is prevailing opinion among farmers
that the peculiar smell which euanates from
dung heaps is caused by the escape Of am
monia, and that the deterioration Of farm
yard manure is due in a great measure to
the loss Of this most fertiiizing substance
which is incurred 10y careless management
Of dung heaps. In paper published in the
volume for 1856 Of this journal, however, |
showed that the proportion Of free ammonia,
or, rather rolafae carbonate of ammonia
for it is ia this form that ammonia makes
its appearance in putreiying organic matters
is so inconsiderable in fresh as well as in
fermeuted dung, in all stages of decomposi-
ton, that it is not worthy to be noticed in
practical point of view. This being the
case, it is evident that the escape Of am
monia cannot be the cause Of manure heaps

when freely exposed to the atmosphere for
a considerable length of time. The strong
smell which is observed on turning a dung
heap no doubt has led many TO greatly over
estimate the amount of ammonia which es-
capes from farm-yard manure in an active
state of fermentation. But would observe
that nothing Is more fallacious than the es-
timation of the amount of ammonia by the
pungency of the smell which is given off
from the fermenting animal matters. Such
matters often give off very powerful smell,
which is due TO the peculiar volatile organic
combinations-to some sulphuretted and
phosphoretted hydrogen, and a great variety
of gaseous matters, among which there
is ammonia gas in very minute quantities.
The smell of this highly complicated and
but scantily examined mixture of gaseous
matters as a whole, is ascribed by the popu-
lar mind to ammonia. From these products
of putrefaction, however, ammonia can be
completely separated without in the least
destroying the peculiar offensive smell which
emanates from organic matters in state
of decomposition"
Dr. V. adds "Thc loss in manural mat
tiers, which is incurred in keeping manure
heaps exposed to the weather, is not so much
due to the volatzation of ammonia as to the
removal of ammouiacal salts, soluble nitro
genized organic matters aud valuable min
eral matters, 10y the rain which falls in the
period during which the manure is kept"
We commend these important statement,
TO the consideration of our thoughtful read
ers. Not that We advise letting the manure
heat but that we counsel saving at the bune
hole as well as at the spigot
