Gov. Tilden has returned home after
some time spent in England and on the
continent. He is proud to think his
grandfather was ga man OF kent,s' and
showsl to his visitors photographs of
English relations whom he has d;scov-

Though rigorous in his morals and a

An orator of the most lugubrious type,

To Make and Keep Soup Stock
Take leg or shin of beef. put it TO boil
in gallon of water-if very large in a
gallon and half, boil it steadily, but
not fast, until all the strength is boiled
from the meat, then strain it and put it

small portions when soup is needed, and
the vegetables added or whatever is

ShreWd Fish-HaWk.

When the eagle was chosen as our
national bird, some one objected to him
that he was a rapacious, thieving bird,
who made his living by stealing from
fish-hawks. The following story, told in
a government report on ornithology, con-
firms the allegation, and shows how
one eagle was punished by shrewd
hawk:
A gentleman who resides near Balti-
more, upon one of the small inlets of the
Chesapeake Bay, was recently taking a
walk near the waters edge, when he no.
ticed a fsh-hawk rise from the water
with a prize in his mouth, and, after
getting a short distance inland, beset
upon by an eagle, evidently waiting for
a meal, and quiet spectator of the fish
ing. Being attacked and compelled to
give it up, he dropped it, which the
eagle, catching in the air, flew away
with, apparently disregarding the pangs
of guilty conscience.
The next day he noticed a repetition
of the fishing operation by the hawk
and on the eagles approach, as before
he promptly dropped it again and
quickly disappeared. The eagle caught
it, as before, in the air; but strangely, as
he thought, let it go, and it fell to the
ground. Being generally interested il
nature, the gentleman concluded to &C
up and examine the cause of the unusua
conduct of the thieving Emblem oi
Freedom" our great North American
bird. He did so, and reaching the spot
found the supposed fish piece of dried
manure.
1t was the old story of "Revenge il
sweet" etc., but at once suggests the
question, "Is there naught save mere
instinct granted by nature to her crea

BREVITIES.

LET us tell our lady friends that in
making their baskets for winter, as a
general thing, they crowd them too
much. The roots soon become so nu-
merous and entangled that they are not
reached by ordinary watering, and un-
less thoroughly soaked every day or so,
the plants soon loose their leaves.
PLANT young fruit trees in fall to
take the place of those which are sick
and may die. A sick tree is better dead.
1t does not pay to doctor it.
IT is best to keep kerosene lamps and
cans in cool places, so gas cannot gener-
ate therein; and full lamp is safer
when burning than one nearly empty.
In California they shear twice year.
The season for the spring clip ranges
from the middle of March to the 1st of
June. and for the fall clip from August
to December, varying according to
locality and circumstances, and, in the
large focks, necessarily requiring sew
eral weeks time.
Do all the painting, or so much as pos
sible, between this and freezing weather.
Whitewash your cellars and then clean
them up as tidy as if the cellar were a
sitting-room.

Mountain Climbing.

The greatest altitude which has been
reached by mountain climbers. was at
tanned in Cashmere, by Mr.. johnson,
who some years ago mounted to spot
22,300 feet above the sea. Aeronauts
have ascended 10000 feet and returned
with safety. 1t is supposed by noun
taineers that 25,00O or $4,000 feet is the
utmost height that will ever be trod by
human steps. That life can be sup
ported at this altitude has been proved
by the adventures who have dared the
dangers of the upper air in balloon.
During the last summer Mons. Weiner
ascended Mt. Illimani, one of the loftiest
peaks of the Bolivian Andes. The height
of this mountain has been variously esti-
mated, Mr.. Pentland giving it an alti-
tude of "a, 200 feet; Mr.. Minchin setting
it at 81 1924 feet, and Mr.. Weiner himself
making it to be only 20,112 feet. Few
ascents to the height of $1,000 feet have
been recorded. Hunters on the Hima-
layas often chase their game to the height
of 10000 feet; and natives living near
Mt. Demarend, near Teheran, frequently
climb to the summit, about 10000 feet,
to gather sulphur from the crater.

How Young Wife Cured Her Hus-
band of 1EBrain Fever"

A young wife in Michigan had Just
got settled in her new home. All seemed
fair and promising, for she did not know
that her husband was drunkard. But
one night he came home at very late
hour, and much the worse for liquor.
When he staggered into the house the
wife, who was greatly shocked, told him
he was sick, and to lie down at once; and
in moment or two he was comfortably
settled on sofa in drunken sleep. His
face was reddish purple, his breathing
was heavy, and altogether he was pitt
able-looking object.
The doctor was sent for post-haste,
and mustard applied to his feet and
hands. When the doctor came and
felt his pulse and examined him, and
found that he was only drunk, he said:
F'He will be all right in the morning. D.
But the wife insisted that he was very
sick and that severe remedies must be
used.
You must shave his head and apply
blisters," she urged, cor | will send for
some one who will"
The husbands head was accordingly
shaved closely and blisters applied.
The patient lay all night in drunken
sleep, and, Notwithstanding the blisters
were eating into his flesh, it was not till
near morning that he began to beat about,
disturbed by pain.
About daylight he woke up to most
uncomfortable consciousness of blistered
agonies.
What does this mean?" he said,
putting his hands to his bandaged
head.
ellie still--you mustn't STIR" said
the wife; "you have been very sick"
Pm not sick"
Oh, yes, you are; you have the brain
fever. We have worked with you all
night"
al should think you had," groaned
the poor victim. "What's the matter
with my feet?'
"They are all blistered."
Well, Pm better now; take off
the blisters-do," he pleaded, piteously.
He was in most uncomfortable
state his head covered with sores,
and his feet and hands were still worse.
Dear" he said, groaning, eff |
should ever get sick in this way again,
don't be alarmed and send for doctor,
and, above all, don't blister me again. %
ooh, indeed will all that saved you
were the blisters, and if you have an
other such spell | should be more
frightened than ever; for the tendency
| am sure is to apoplexy, and from the
next attack you will be likely to die
unless there are the severest measures
used"
He made no further defense. Suffice
it say, he never had another attack.

NOTHING is more easy than to grow
rich. 1t is only to trust nobody-to be-
friend none-to get all you can, and
save all you get to stint yourself and
everybody belonging to you-to be a
friend of no man, and have no man f n
your friend-to reap interest upon in
terest, cent upon cent to be mean,
miserable and despised for some twenty
or thirty years-and riches will come as
sure as disease and disappointment. And
when pretty nearly Tough wealth is col
lected, by a disregard of all the charities
of the human heart, and at the expense
of every enjoyment, death comes to
finish the work--the body is buried in a
h lie, the heirs dance over it, and the
spirit goes-where?

BURNE1T'S

FOR REMOVING
Tan, sunburn, Freokles, Redness and Erur'

Complexion Clear and Beautiful.

Of all the effects that exposure of the skin to
the air or sun produces, the most dsagreeable is
called freckles or tan. If spread over the entire
surface of the parts exposed, it is called tan; if
scattered at intervals, freckles The finest skins
are most subject to them. The KALLISTON,
prepared by Joseph Burnett & Co., Boston, con-
tains peculiar erasive property which will re-
rove these disagreeable stains. 1t is at the same
Sinle perfectly harmless, allays all tendency to
Inflammation, and renders the complexion clear

uI-NovEMBER.

When thistle-blows do lightly float
About the pasture-height
And shrills the hawk parting note,
And creeps the frost at night,
Then hilly no! though singing 50,
A nd whistle as | may,
There comes again the old heart pain
Through all the livelong day.
In high wind creaks the leahess tree
And mods the fading fern;
The knolls are dun as snow clouds be,
And cold the sun does burn.
Then no, hollol though calling so,
1 can not keep II down;
The tears arise unto my eyes,
And thoughts are chill and brown.
Far In the cedars' dusky stoles,
Where the sere ground-vine weaves,
The partridge drums funereal rolls
Above the fallen leaves.
And hip, hip, hol though cheering 50,
II stills no whit the pain;
For drip, drip, drip, from bare branch tip,
I hear the years last rain.
So drive the cold cows from the hill,
And call the wet sheep in;
And let their stamping clatter fill
The barn with warming din.
And no, folk, hol though 1t be SO
That we no more may roam,
We gtill will find a cheerful mind
Around the fire at homei

o late and sweet, too sweet, too late!
What nightingale will sing 10 thee?
The empty NJ ", the shivering tree,
The dead leaves by the garden gate,
And cawing crows for thee will wait,

Where vert thou when the soft June nights
Where faint with perfume, glad with song?
Where vert thou when the days were long
And steeped In summers young delights?
What hopest thou now but checks and sights,
Brief days, lone nights?

Far on the hill; down in the woods
A very heaven Of stiffness broods;
And through the mellow suns noon heat,

GLEANIYGS FROM THE MUSE.
AUTu MN Al POEMS


Dulled 10 a drowsy FIRE, one vaguely sees
The sun In heaven, where this broad, smoky
round
Lies ever brooding at the horizons bound;
And through the gaunt knolls on mOnOtonous leas
Or through damp desolats woodlands naked trees,
Rustling the brittle rum along the ground,
Like sghs from spirits Of perished hours resound
The melancholy melodies Of the breezed.
So ghostly and strange a look the blurred world
wears,
Viewed from this nowerless gardens dreary squares
That now, while these weird, vaPorous days exist,
II would not seem a marvel II where we walk
We met, dim-glimmering on its thorny stalk,
Some pale, Intangible rose, with leaves Of mist!
