MISCELLA N E Gus.
A Deceptive Widow.

James Robbins, of National avenue, has
been missing for several days, but there is
NO anxiety around his house to learn his
fate. His wife knew what caused him to
disappear, aud she is willing to let him get
good ready to come back. Robbins married
. lone widow about four months ago, and
they had not been welded more than two
weeks when he gave ner a beating. She
overlooked it then, thinking he would soon
tone down, but in a week more he BACKED
her eyes. In brief, Robbins turned out to

Robbins had no excuse for his brutality
-Four or FIVE days ago, he Knocked her down
and started off up town, and the wife crawled
over to butchers to see aoout having Rob-
bins arrested. The butcher who weighs one
hundred and ninety pounds, and has a fist
like maui, knew better way than going
TO the police, aud he unfnlded plan.
When Robbins reached home that evening
the house was dark. and the butcher, dressed
in woman's clothes and with his jaws tied up,
sat in the rocking chair.

howled Robbins as he stood in the door.
The butcher groaned.

Robbins. Whats the matter now ?"
The butcher groaned again.

He struck out but the disguised butcher
caught his wrist, and sprang up, and there
was fun in the cottage. He choked Robbins
almost TO death, lied him up in hard knots
aud united him, drew him around by the
heels and hair. and finally picked him up
and tossed him over the fence into the mud.
TIE wife beaten kept up steady begging

made its appearance. 1t is very hand
some to look at, and is highly polished
in imitation of dark gray marble.
Teakettles, tea-urns, pitchers, sauce
pans, griddles, spoons, and dippers
are made from it, and it is but fair to
say that the state chemist Of Massa-
chusetts, DR.. Hayes, has analyzed
several specimens Of it had pronounc-
ed the enamel which @oats the outside
composed of arsenic and lead, in dan
gerous proportions. He states that
sauces, milk, tea, and even water take
up the poison. The Tribune, of Chi
cago, calls attention TO the fact that
the same goods, under the name of
Granite Iron Ware, are sold extern
sively here in the West. Another Sc
rious peril incurred by using them is
found in the fact that "the fine parti-
cles of glass (the principalingredients

BLESSED ARE THEYTHAT MOURN.

Mr.. Haldane was just about to lock
the door of his Sabbath-school and go
home, one dark December night,
when he spied little girl of about
twelve years of age standing in the
doorway crying bitterly. lie turned
on the gas again, and bade her come
in. "Whats wrong with you, little
girl !" he asked. ''Please, sir, every
things wrong with me, and l wish !
was dead" said she, bursting anew
into a food of tears. Mr.. Haldane
had not seen her before, but he began
speaking kindly to her, and at last
she told him all her .ytory. Her
mother had been dead for one week
only, but her father had been dead for
years. And now the little orphan
was thinking of the many times she
had caused her dear good mother sor-
row, and-"O sir" said she, 81 came
in here tonight, and when l heard
you telling about Jesus dying on the
cross, | just thought it was all my
blame, for I've been so bad that he'll
never forgive me-" "My dear child"
said Mr.. Haldane, "Jesus came to
save such as you. He came to save
the lost, and he is willing now to
make you his, and pardon all your
SINS" "But you don't know how
bad Pve been?" Mr.. Haldane point
ed out to her that Jesus Christ, came
to save the very chief of siDrlers. and
tried to get her to accept Christ as
her Saviour. When they parted fol
the night she was D.uch calmer. and
promised to pray TO Christ for light in
her darkness, ard Mr.. Haldane agreed
to meet her next day. At the time
appointed she met him with glad
smile. 81 see it all now, sir, and
have just put myself into Jesus hands
Mr.. Haldane, being missionary, got
her hopIe with pious lady who was
requiring a servant, and who prom
isod to allow her to attend the Sab.
bath school. On the following Sab
bath she came up to Mr.. Haldane,
and, pointing to a text on the wall
said, "Please, sir, read that" He
read, "Blessed are they that mourn,
for they shall be comfortcd." "That's
me, sir" cried she, joyfully, "that's
me! Christ took away my mother
and my home, and when | mourned he
gave me another home, and bade me
follow mother to heaven; and when ]
was sorry for my sins he came and
washed them away. So when l saw
that text l couldn't help telling you,
sir, for that's me.

The New England Farmer says earn
estly: eff, by any words of ours, we
could convince the farmers of New
England that they should and could
cut their hay, on an average, ten days
earlier every year than they now do,
and could induce them to act accord
ingly, we believe we should do them a
greater service than if we paid their
state, town and county taxes. This
is a strong statement, but we believe
it is true. But here is one much strong
er. Mr.. j. G. Sherburne, in a paper
read last winter at the town hall in
Pomfret, before the Vermont State
Board Of Agriculture, gave utterance
to the following startling words: 'Af-
ter care full consideration, knowing the
unsurpassed excellence of early-cut
hay, | make this statement without
hesitation: if the entire hay-crop of
the state could be secured at the best
possible time, it's value, when fed,
would exceed the worth of the hay
now obtained, together with all the
grain raised in the state, which is fed
in connection with the hay"

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSE.
WHAT FARMERS SONS OUGHT
TO KNOW.

To those who prize the freedom pc
culiar to life in the country, and also
the security of a steady occupation,
the pursuit of farming in this country
offers great advantages. Every talent
that the most gifted young man pos
sesses may be exercised in connection
with agriculture, and the more finish
ed his education the better will be his
chances Of gaining culture from his
surroundings and acquiring influence
with his neighbors.
Already large portion of the Der
manent wealth of our nation is in the
hands Of farmers, and every facility is
offered by our laws for aDT one who
wishes to secure a farDr, for himself
The introduction of p,lachinery for al
most all kinds Of farm work, the null
tiplication Of me ans of TRANSPORTATION,
and the great. demand in cities and
towns for tie best farm produce, makes
IL necessary for man to know the
cost o. each crop he raises that he may
devote his time and labor to that which
Lays the highest per cent. on capital
invested. Hundreds of farmers an
nually dispose of their wheat, potatoes,
apples, corn, cattle or horses at the
market price, without knowing the ac-
tual cost of production of any crop.
AS natural consequence they go on
year after year in the same way while
by knowing exactly the cost of raising
a bushel Of wheat or a ton Of hay or a
pound Of wool, they could soon decide
where their profits lay, and discard
the crops which experience proved to
bring them only loss.
Now to know the precise cost of any
farm product, it is as necessary that a
farmer should keep accurate accounts
as for merchant or manufactures.
To no class Of business men is prac-
tical knowledge Of bookkeeping more
valuable than to our farmers. Be-
cause many have succeeded without it
in the past does not alter the case. A
higher standard is before the farmer
now. Their produce must be of good
quality to meet with ready sale, and to
insure that success now demands that
capital be invested in good buildings,
machinery and improved kinds of
grain, fruit and live stock.
They need to know the exact re-
turns yielded by all such investments,
Witch Can bv aooortainod only from I,
complete and accurate system of &C
counts. Let us impress upon young
farmers, Stockholders and fruit-grow-
ers the vast benefit you would realize
from q course of businss training.
Better give year Of your time now to
this study you will bemore than repaid
for your time and money in five years.
Surely it is time the leading industry
Of our State and country was con-
Quoted on the same principles that
control less important interests.

NEPHRITIS IN A COW.-A cores
pondent writes ssIhave a valuable COW
that has been taken with a lameness
or weakness in the hind legs, so that
she lies down the greater part of the
time, and also walks in very labored
manner upon the tips of the hoofs.
She was similarly affected in a mild
form last summer, but recovered to-
ward winter. This summer she was
attacked severely in one leg at first,
and few days after in the other. She
eats well, and seems otherwise bright
and healthy. What can be done for
the cow?"
Reply.-The trouble arises from
disease of the kidneys. The proper
treatment would be to give laxative,
avoiding anything that will act as di-
uretic. A pint of raw linseed-oil may
be given once a day for two day, and
a rug or sheepskin dipped in hot water
should be laid upon the loins, and re-
newed as it cools. A mustard poul-
tice may also be rubbed upon the loins.
II is not probable the COW can be en-
tirely cured, as, if relieved now, the
trouble is always liable to return.

PRAYER MEETING RUTs.-One blight
of our prayer and conference meetings
is formality-common-place. We say
not the thing that we feel, but the
thing we suppose we ought to feel,
and that our neighbors expect us to
feel. And too often the remarks are
as far removed from truth as they are
from novelty. 81 would not give up
my humble hope for thousand worlds
like this" No, very likely; and Sa-
tan does not offer him a thousand
worlds, nor one; he knows it is not
necdful. But does not the brother
sacrifice his hope for siXpence? Does
he not dim it for the sake Of lying abed
one hour later in the morning? 81
feel that | am a great sinner" says
the brother; but he never comes to
particulars ; he never says, 81 am
prone to be selfish, to be passionate,
to be proud" and nothing would sur
prise him more, or crafty him less,
than to have anybody take him at his
word.

1t is amazing how many excellent
excuses men make for not forgiving
the wrong which is personal to them
selves. The reasons for not forgiv-
ing are abundant; the reasons for ex-
ercising forgiveness are scant. "Per-
sonal dignity forbids that | should be
the first to offer forgiveness. | shall
be misunderstood. My forgiveness
will be thrown back in my face. 1t
will make no difference the offender
will repeat the offense; | know him
too WE'LL" Might not Christ have
said every one Of these things? Is not
his proffer of forgiveness discordant
with pagan notions of divine dignity
Is not He misunderstood? Is not his
forgiveness thrown back in his face
Do not sinners, though forgiven, re-
peat the old otfenses with wearisome
monotony of sin? Even as Christ for
gave you, SO also do ye.

USEFUL FAMILY HINTS.

To CLEAN WHITE LACE.-To Il pail
of hot water add one tablespoonful
powdered borax; place the lace in and
let it remain for few moments then
wash, in the same water, gently with
the hands, using very little soap
when quite clean rtTse in one clear hot
water; squeeze or press the water out,
do not wiring i; place the lace-if a
small piece--inside of a clean, folded
towel; if large piece, use a sheet,
and with the cloth well wrapped around
the lace, gently wiring as much of the
p.oisture out as possible; place clean
towel or sheet on your lap, and with
very clean hands straighten or stretch
the lace to its original shape; pick out
all of the edges, points, &c. it will
become perfectly dry while doing so.
If the lace is very large or hard to dry,
pin it down on a clean board, sticking
pins into every point or loop; use no
starch do not iron it or hang it up to
dry.-Mollie.
To CLEANSE THE HAIR.-Ammonia
should not be used on the hair; it in
jures the gloss and softness, causing
the hair to become harsh and dry.
The best way to cleanse the hair and
keep the scalp healthy is to beat up a
fresh egg and rub it well into the hair,
or if more convenient rub it into the
hair without beating. Rub the egg in
until a lather is formed occasionally
wet the hands in warm water, softened
with boraX; by the time a lather is
formed the scalp is clean; then rinse
the egg all out in basin Of warm wa
ter, containing tablespoonful of pow
dered borax; after that rinse in one
clear warm water.-Mollie.
To WASH BLACK AND WHITE Cor
TON DREss.-Have tub partly filled
with hot water, add one large table
spoonful ofpowdered borax; wet only
one part Of the dress at a time, the
basque first use very little soap, and
only on the most soiled places wash
quickly, rinse in warm water contain
ing tablespoonful of table salt; starch
on the wrong side, wiring very dry,
shake out well, and hang out where ii
will dry quickly; next wash the over
skirt in the same way.-Mollie.
