"My dear girl will be treasure to the man

"My dear girl will be treasure to the man

"Deed do I, Clara and fancy | can guess

answered Uncle John. making free somewhat
on the prompting of recent events.
"You surely don't mean young Mallory?'
II do, indeed ; and he's worthy of her
He's treasure, that young man is, Clara

nothing but trifing salary"
$50 he may be-" laughed her brother; "but
he ain't dead yet, nor is he aged. They're
suited for each other, sister, and somebody
ought to help 'em to come together"
Mrs. Archibald became radiant. She laid
her hand gently on Johns arm, and leaning
towards his shoulder, said, with ever so sly an
emphasis, "And would you help them, John 7
''I'd be proud to do it, Clara. | tell you il
was to see them two married I'd leave em

for 'em, sister,"
He looked her rather de6antly in the eyes,
smiling, and rather sharply, too, and it was
as if be were playing his favorite game OF
"poker," and had just bet on good hand.
Mrs. Archibald often said she was busi'
ness woman, and let US admit it in justice.
She answered, "John, if you promise to
make your will in favor of Fannie, leaving
her, at your-in fact, at your decease
thing, will not only consent to her marriage
with Lucius Mallory, but will see that Mr.
Archibald shall settle upon them twenty thou
sand dollars on the day the wedding takes
placew
"Done!" cried John Warbeck. 81 want
the use of my money during my lifetime; but
at my death, every penny leave shall 60 to
them"
And so, two months afterward, Lucius and
Fannie were made man and wife, and began
their matrimonial experience upon a hand
some capital. The greater portion of this
Lucias invested directly in accordance with
the advice of John Warbeck, who carried on
branch business in Colorado, whittier be had
returned. A great deal of money was made,
and things were going smoothly as could be
wished, when poor Uncle John died. His
will was eagerly opened, and it was found
true to his word, that he had left Fannie
everything.
The fortune amounted to several hundred
dollars, which he had accumulated, first by
working as clerk while he lived in New York
with his afHectionate sister (Which was what
occupied him all day so mysteriously,) and,
secondly, by acting as Lucius Mallorys agent
in Colorado afterwards. Mrs. Archibald was
naturally very indignant. She felt that she
had been imposed upon but this was not the
case, for John Warbeck had fully carried out
his bargain.
Several hundred dollars you will find a
very respectable sum of money if you happen
to be in need, and the amount is not accessl'
ble but, after all, it is really not quite so mag,
nifcent thing to contemplate as "A Cool
Million"

BRAIN AND MuscLE.-Men who use their
muscles imagine that men who use their
brains are strangers to hard work. Never
was there greater mistake. Every success
ful merchant does more real hard work in
the first ten years of his business career, than
q farmer or blacksmith ever dreamed of.
Make up your mind to work early and late, if
necessary, that you may thorougly master ev-
cry detail of the business upon which you
purpose to enter. The habit of persistent,
rapid work once formed, you have gained q
momentum that will carry you very success
fully through many pinch in business where
a less persistent worker would find it vastly
easier to lie down and fail.

THE COMMANDER OF THE TURKISH SQUAD
RON ON THE DANUBE.--Attheo outbreak ofour
war, a number of wealthy merchants in Eng.
land formed an association to assist the
Southern cause. Commandant Hobart and
several other officers in the English navy
we're enlisted in the cause and sent to the
Southern States, where their services were
eagerly accepted. Hobart landed atCharles'
ton in the Summer or Fall of 1861, and was
at once assigned to naval duties. He soon
developed taste for daring adventure, and
attracted attention by his success in capturing
several small Union vessels and greatly
damaging others. In the following Spring
he was placed in the charge of blockade run
ners on the Atlantic Coast, where he did val
liable work for the Confederates. He was
soon after recalled to the Gulf, and for near.
ly a year was on the staff of the admiral COM
manding at Pensacola. The numerous sue
cessful attacks upon the Union fleets and the
daring blockade running in the vicinity are
credited, in the main, to his planning and
bold execution. In 1863 he was again put in
command of several blockade runners, and
then began the series of exploits which crea-
ted admiration for the skill and bravery dis
played in their execution. 1t is estimated
that Hobart was engaged in no less than
twenty such undertakings all of which were
exceedingly annoying, and, in many instances
disastrous, to the Union cause. Hobart was
about forty years age when he arrived in
this country. He was heavy built-man, Of
dark complexion, and was noted for his i'm.
perious bearing and the ardor with which he
prosecuted every undertaking. He went to
England in the Spring of 1864, on account,
it is said, of difficulty with the officers of
the Confederate Government. He Is now the
commander of the Turkish squadron on the
Danub Exchange.

STARTING IN THE WoRLD.-Many an un-
wise parent labors hard aud lives sparingly
all his life for the purpose of leaving enough
to give his children start in the world, as it
is called. Setting young man aaoat with
money left him by his relatives, is like tying
badders under the arms of one who cannot
swim ten chances to one he will lose his
badders and 60 to the bottom. Teach him
to swim, and he will never reed bladders.
Give your child sound education, and you
have done enough for him. See to it that his
morals are pure, his mind cultivated, and
his whole nature made subservient to laws
which govern man, and you have g iven what
will be of more value than the wealth of the
Indies.

h9 Some years ago there was protracted
drouth, and an old lady in the country was
afraid her garden would come to naught for
lack of rain. One day Methodist minister
came along and paid her visit, and she re-
quested him to pray for rain, after relating
her fears about her garden. The good dom
mie at once offered prayer, and most fervently
asked the Lord for refreshing showers to bap-
tie the earth. Shortly afterward heleft, and
during the night there came up a tremendous
thunder shower, as if the very food gates of
heaven had been let loose. The good old la
dy's garden happened to be on side hill, and
the earth being loose, the food of water
washed it bare of all vegetation. When morn
ing came, and she viewed the ruin wrought
by the rain, the old lady vehemently ejacula-
ted "Jest like them pesky Methodists-they
ALWAYS oyerdo thingsl'

HARDENING STEEL.-As the hardness de-
pends on the quickness with which it is cooled,
there are better materials than water, which,
besides, gives an unequal temper, the steam
bubbles developed interrupting contact An
other thing, water is bad conductor of heat,
and if the bubbling and heat did not put it in
motion, it would be unfit for hardening. Wa
ter, with plenty of ice in it, gives it harder
temper small tools may be stuck into piece
of ice, as jewellers and watch-makers insert
them into piece of sealing wax. Oil is also
used by them as being better than water, as it
does not evaporate so easily. The Damascus
steel blades are tempered in strong current
of cold air passing through a narrow slit.
This gives a much more uniform and equal
temperament than water. But the most efec.
tive liquid is the only liquid metal-mercury.
This being good conductor of heat-in fact
the very best liquid conductor and the only
cold one-appears to be the best liquid for
hardening steel cutting tools. The best steel,
when forged into shape and hardened in
mercury, will cut almost anything. Wehave
seen articles made from ordinary steel, which
has been hardened and tempered to deep
straw color, turned, with comparative ease,
with cutting tools from good tool steel hard
ened in mercury. Beware of inhaling the
vapor while hardening.

Roscoe, April 9th, II.
Editor Grange A0Sance:-As re-
form is the spirit of the times, the
people OF Roscoe have decided to
reform, and on the 9TH inst, at a
special meeting, voted unanimous
ly to rescind the vote for aid to the
Minnesota Midland railway.
The majority of our people have
always been opposed. to giving aid
to railroads, and I am informed as
early as 1853, gave a decided major
ity against the old Minnesota rail-
road bonds. Since then we have
adhered strictly to the policy of no
aid to railroads.
Last spring with the assistance of
our neighboring towns, the sum of
Ten Thousand Dollars was voted in
aid of the Midland railway; Since
then there has been a change in the
minds of the people, and those who
favored the measure last spring,
were the first to clamor for the re-
scinding of the vote.
We would be glad to have a rail.
road running through this section o1
the country, in some direction, we
would prefer the one from St. Paul
to Rochester, but will not consent
to bond the town one dollar in aid
of my railway. Yours, &c,

The Markets.

The monotony of "$l.15@l.20' for
wheat is broken at last, and the fever
ish condition of the market, manifested
for more than 4 week past, has given
place to an advance. We quote to-day
at $1.25@$l.30, as to grade, but these
figures as merely nominal for the reason
that farmers are busy seeding and there
is no wheat coming in. Good milling
lots would, no doubt, sell considerably
above these quotations..
Corn will sell readily for 50@55., an
advance of SC. per bushel.
Oats are quoted at 40@45c.
Potatoes are scarce and command

also, pays 25 cents per month per share
on his 20 shares of stock, which is $6(
