Grand Duke Nicholas.
correspondence Boston Journal.

l was standing near the roasting-sheep,
watching the preparations which, as you
may well imagine, were not devoid of in
terest to a man who has not tasted meat
for five days, when l suddenly find my
self confronted by tall man, dressed in
a plain uniform, and distinguishable
from the others surrounding him merely
by decoration suspended from his neck
A single glance convinced me that the
Grand Duke Nicholas stood before me.
His keen face and eagle eyes, his imperi-
Gus bearing, and at the same time his I'M
affected manner showed me that he was
the Commander-in-C Chief. The gentle
man on whom l had relied for presenta-
ton was absent at the moment, and /
stood trife confused. But the Grand
Duke said pleasantly, "What paper do

peared pleased to meet an American. He
offered his hand in the frendliest manner,

lease Monday, an she flowed a stream OF
lie 100 feet high straight up for half an
hour. Then she sorter died down. One
OF my drillers was standing over the
hole when she suddenly squirted again,
an blast my eyes if it didn't take that
drlller right up with it. The stream was
a powerful one, you see, an he went up
100 feet, You've seen those little balls
that dance about on top of those little
squirting fountains such as they have in
the cities? Yes; wal, that's the way
this thing acted, and there's that air
drlller right up on the top of that 100

" How long has he been up there?"
About four days and four nights"
" He must be very hungry by this
time. Doesn't he come down to get
something to eat?"

HAPPINESS.
BY MARY b. DoDSE.


Is there such thing as happiness?
Is JOY real possession?
Rather beneath what seems 10 bless
Is bitter pain and WEAKNESS
Lurking to find expression!
Earth's captured JOY is one with pain
Parted awhile to fuse again.
Childhood's divine inheritance,
How bright it is, yet heeting!
A day of sunny innocence,
A night of trouble looming hence,
Alas, the hour of meeting.
Earth'S birthright isy is one with pain
Parted awhile 10 fuse again.
Loves roses, red and white and sweet,
Are precious in their blossoming,
But only climb, the heavens TO meet,
Too soon to lie beneath our feet,
Delight to anguish looming
Earth's tenderest joys are one with pain
Parted awhile to fuse again.
Or gold, if there our treasure lies,
What treachery il covers
Perhaps while yet we live it flies,
Or STAYS when its possessor dies,
Relentless TO its lovers
Earth's glittering joys are one with pain
Parted awhile 10 fuse again.
One only light the fairer shows
The more we test its measure,
And this the hope the Christian knows
A blessed light that brighter glow.
With each receding pleasure.
Earth's joy is always lost in pain,
IT'S higher JOY that lives again.

How to Give Medicine TO Swine.

1t is often said that if anything ails a
hog he will surely die, because nothing
can be given him. Nothing is farther
from the fact; indeed there is no animal
on the farm to whom medicine can be
administered with so much safety. Turn
the animal upon his back, and he will
invariably open his mouth, and then is
the time to turn in the medicine. Too
much must not be turned in at once or
the animal may draw it into his lungs
and expire almost instantaneously.-

NOTES FOR THE FARMER.


BY SUSAN ARCHER WEISS.
The leaves are still-the breezes hushed-
Or sing drowsy number,
And all throughout the dreamy day
The golden hours slumber.
The ripples idly lapse along
Beneath the noontide cleaning;
Oh, sure, the drowsy summer time
Wa, made alone for dreaming,
Within my quiet chamber floats
4 slumbrous breath of roses,
And in the softly shaded room,
Silence itself reposes;
And liquid lustres on the wall,
Cool, ripping waves resemble,
As To and fro, with motion slow,
The leafy shadows tremble.
A sense Of silence and repose-
OF slow and tranquil motion,
A murmur, as OF sleeping winds
Upon sleeping ocean;
And softly DER nv senses steals
A luxury Elysian;
And all delights OF drowsy sense
Are mingled in my vision.
Oh, Gliding voices. wake me not,
Nor turn my rhyme Is reason;
For life is mingled work and play
And each must have its season.
The winter-time for studies toll,
The spring for pleasures scheming-
Autumn for the poets thought,
And summertime for dreaming.

Effects of the ImaginatiOn.

The Reading (Penn.) Eagle has the
following account of the curious way in
which resident of that place was al
most driven into the quick consumption ::
"The case is that of Henry G.. Ersh-
man, residing near the boundary of the
county, near Sweetwood, who is a large
owner of iron ore lands, and the possessor
of considerable property. Up to within
several weeks ago he was hale and
hearty, and, notwithstanding his abund-
ance of this worlds goods, he generally
wore one suit of clothes during the week
and on Sunday. Several weeks ago he
was startled because he imagined that a
very foul smell either came from his
ears, or his mouth, or the pores of his
skin. He was greatly alarmed, and i'm
agined he was sinking into galloping con-
and was gradually decaying.
He was unable to sleep, became haggard
and emaciated, and even his friends be-
gan to imagine that his end was near at
hand. He dressed himself regularly,
and was determined to keep on his feet.
He went into the fields and in the woods.
determined to fight down the disease,
but wherever he went the same dreadful
stencil and feeling came over him.
Finally, an old wood-chopper met him in
the woods one day. TIE woodsman had
a long talk with him, and he stood quite
close to examine him. Then the woods
man asked him for his coat, which was
examined. The woodman carried it
away twenty yards, and it was discover
ed that the stencil followed The coat
was then thoroughly examined and a
dead mouse was found in the lining.
The mouse had by some means gotten
into the lining of his coat and died there,
and its decaying remains caused the un-
pleasant affiuvia. When this was made
known the sufferer gained courage, and
as he slowly realized what imagination
had done, he rallied and was soon on
favorable road to the best of health
again"

| would again call the attention of
farmers to giving the laboring class en-
ploymeht as much as possible. If they
do not need theft help to secure the
crops, making some Improvements.
This class Is among us, and unless they
have work they cannot live; they must
either steal or starve. As soon as they
can earn something, they will be in a
situation to buy our produce. What
benefit will the abundant crop be if there
is no demand for the surplus? would
not only call the attention of farmers to
this subject, but the state and general
government should also undertake some
public Improvements in which the unem-
ployed may find labor and relief.

SUMNER SQUAsH.-If the rind is ten
der boil it in a little bag kept for the
purpose. 1t should be put into boiling
water; it will cook in three quarters of
an hour. Take the bag into a pan and
press it with the edge of plate or ladle
until the water is out. Then turn the
squash into dish and mash it, add salt
and butter and smooth over the top. 1t
looks nice to sprinkle pepper over It:
TOMATO MARMALIpE.-To each
pound of the tomatoes add one pound of
white or brown sugar, first scalding,
peeling and slicing the red tomatoes.
Put over slow fire and boil down until
it is well thickened; add one tablespoon
full of powdered ginger and the juice and
grated peel of two lemons to every three
hours, skimming off all froth. When
very thick turn into small jars and cover
tightly.
BAKED ToMAToEs.-Select large, ripe
tomatoes, wash and wipe them clean,
cut in halves around the tomato, place
each half with the cut side uppermost
into dripping pan and cover its surface
with grated bread crumbs, bits of butter,
a teasspoonful of fine sugar, and season.
ing of salt aid pepper. Pour in at the
side of the pan two tablespoonfuls of
boiling water. Put the pan into the
oven and bake two hours, taking care,
however, not to burn the upper surface
of the tomatoes. Serve on platter. 1t
is delicious for either breakfast or din
ner dish.
To PRESERVE BLUE PLUMs.-After
weighing the fruit throw it, little at a
time, in boiling water to loosen the skin,
then slip it off, and having weighed out
an equal quantity of granulated sugar,
pack the fruit with it in layers in the
preserving kettle; cover tightly, and
when the whole is thoroughly heated
through, and the fruit all saturated with
the sugar, remove the glass jars and
cover up air tight at once.
WALNUT CATsUP.-Bruise the green
nuts and press out the juice, to one gal
Ion OF which add an ounce of cinnamon,
half an ounce of mace, one quarter
ounce of cloves. Put the whole spices in
a bag and throw into the Juice and boil
till the liquor is half reduced, pour in a
jar; add little salt. Let it settle two
days, then filter through fine piece of
muslin till clear. Bottle in pints and
half pints and seal the corks. The older
the better.
BLACKBERRY BRANDY.-To every gal
lon of fruit add one of deodorized pure
spirits. Mix in large cask, and let the
berries dissolve in the spirits. This is
made in large quantities and sold at high
prices, as a medicine for summer COM
plants, under the name of blackberry
brandy. It's an excellent remedy.

Made Insane by Hair Dye.

The New Milford Ray of Conn, says
that Mrs. Miranda Ruby, a crazy woman
who has lived in that village many
years, and whose insanity was mani
tested by always wearing letter enve-
lope on her bonnet or tied to her parasol,
or in some other harmless way, doubts
if any one would be likely to surmise
the cause of her insanity. A few days
ago her son visited New Milford, and
took Mrs. Ruby to see a physician in
New Haven for advice. The physician
said that her difficulty was softening of
the brain; that it was absolutely incura-
BILE, and that it was caused entirely by
the use of hair dye.

Dyspepsia Is the most perplexing OF all hu-
man ailments. Its symptoms are almost in
finite in their variety, and the forlorn and
despondent victims of the disease often fancy
themselves the prey, In turn of every known
malady. This Is due, In part to the close
sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the brain, and In part also to the fact that
any disturbance of the digestive function
necessarily disorders the liver, the bowels and
the nervous system, and effects TO some ex-
tent, the quality of the blood.
