there were nearly twenty thousand persons in the
garden but the receipts called for about twelve thou

turned TO the track. The occasion of the trouble
doubt has been the curious estimates that people
place ON crowds. One journal had it that 10000
persons were in the Garden on Christmas; another
that there upward of $4,000. and these reports
there was something wrong. The few who knew of

Jealous y.

1t is wonderful how soon jealousy
works its way into the minds of chill
dren. All men and women are more or
less jealous; some are jealous of their
neighbors, if they happen to live in a
better house than themselves; some are
jealous if their neighbors' children look
better than their own. With parents
continually showing them jealousy, it is
no wonder that the same vicious traits
appear developed in children; but it is
nevertheless very strange that they
should show it as early as some of them
do. They desire to dress finer, and
have every little knick-knack better than
others, is poor foundation to build up
on, yet it lies at the basis of many life,
and always leads to enormous expenses,
and sometimes to wretched conse-
quences. Young ladies and gentlemen
about to be engaged should think a
great deal upon this matter, for not =
little of the happiness they are to have
in the coming home they are looking
forward 10 depends upon it. 1t is plain
to see, when person looks into the
subject, that jealousy leads to extrava-
gance, and that it is one of the first
things which mothers should guard
their children against.

Named for your mother, l sup
pose. The .astonished girl had no
time to reply, for Tom and Nettie of
olden time appeared through the arched
doorway and the stranger rose to greet
them.
- VIII you take IN an old friend and
wayfarer TO dine with you to-day? It
is pleasanter being with friends than at
an inn"
"With pleasure, 1" they replied. in the
old Southern style of true hospitality.
He noticed, however, their look of per-
plexity, and said, Z" L will not tax your
memory too far, for 26 years bring
heavy changes, still you can't forget our
last meeting. Do you remember a
young Colonel, Captain, whose pre-
sumption enabled him to outstrip you
in jumping match, years ago, and
who yielded his right to the prize you so
much coveted?"
"Indeed l do exclaimed Captain
Lenard, springing up and grasping his
hand once more, (" know | had seen
you. somewhere, General "a name
Tom. had unwittingly given him
from the first" but could
not recall the occasion. We are indeed
glad to see you, and give you warm
welcome to our table.''
They sat on the piazza after dinner,
the same old western piazza, with its
climbing roses, where Nettie stood in
her youthful grief, just twenty six years
before. And here, shaded by the same
old iYies and poplars, they talked of the
changes the years had wrought, partic-
ularly for our country. General Wash
ington enjoyed his visit exceedingly.
They all addressed him as General"
but their free and unconstrainet re-
marks relating to the late war, and
their intense admiration for the great
leader of the American Armies were ev-
idence enough that he was unknown.
When he rose to take leave, and was
giving each warm pressure of the hand
in farewell, Captain Lenard said, "Gen-
eral, gave you this name because it
seemed to suit YOU, not that thought
you were one then, and it is the only
name we have known you by. Were
you aware you had never enlightened

Washington smiled. 81 supposed

/ was unknown, and L have enjoyed our
free, social intercourse too much to

his card:

Not word was spoken, and in the
silence of amazement, their world-famed
guest departed.

ADVICE TO YOUNG WRITERS.

From w. a. Smiths Address before the Ten
nessce Press Association.
Write upon pages of a single size,
Cross all your is and neatly dot your rs.
on one side only let your lines be seen
Both sides filed up announce n verdant

Correct-yes, recorrect ali thai you write,
And let your ink be black, your paper white
For spongy fOOlscap of a muddy blue
Betrays a mind of the same dismal hue.
Punctuate carefully; for on this score
Nothing procaims the practiced writer more.
Then send it on, and, lest il merit lack,
Enclose a postage stamp to send it back;
But first pay all the postage on IL too;
For editors look black on six cents due"

Expanding the Lungs.

Step out into the purest air you can
find, stand perfectly erect with the head
and shoulders back, and then fixing the
lips as though you were going to whis-
tie, draw the air through the nostrils in
to the lungs. When the chest is about
full raise the arms, keeping them ex-
tended with the palms of the hands
down, as you suck in the air, so as to
bring them over the head just as the
lungs are quite full. Then drop the
thumbs inward, and after gently forcing
the arms backward and the chest open,
reverse the process by which you draw
your breath, till the lungs are entirely
empty. This process should be repeat
ed three or four times day. 1t is i'm
possible to describe to one who has new
tried it the glorio1s sense of vigor which
follows the exercise. 1t is the best ex-
pectorant in the world. We know a
gentleman, the measure of whose chest
has been increased some three inches
during as many Notwithstanding.

A TALE OF THE OLDEN TINE.


In the summer of 1857, when we were
fighting against the encroachments of
France on our Northern and Western
borders, there lay among the pic
turesque hills of Northern. Virginia
large plantation. The family mansion
stood on elevated ground, with sloping
lawns, and broad piazzas, shaded by an
abundant growth of ivy and tall poplars.
The owner of this beautiful estate was
an eccentric old planter, whose chief
pride lay in the immutability of his
word. A law of the Modes and Persiars
could sooner have been broken than his
commands changed; and under his arbi
trary rule he had brought up daugh-
ter his only child. She was just II,
and was possessed of beauty so rare
and unconscious, that, added to her
prospective wealth, it caused her fame
TO spread far and wide.
About this time the atrocities of the
Indians grew so daring and terrifying
that the planter determined on getting
a son-in-law, possessing strength and
courage, even at the sacrifice of his
daughters happiness; bat he matured
his plans before he revealed them.
One afternoon, late in August, the
planters daughter stood on the western
piazza, leaning against a pillar covered
with climbing roses. She was detected
ly gazing into the golden, haZy clouds
that lay piled in the distant West, and
nervously pulling apart the roses, until
the floor at her feet was covered with,
petals. "Oh, DEAR" she exclaimed at
last, ",Lwonder if any thing can be
donei" - tfN 81
"About what, hone W" asked moth
erly-looking darky, looking up from
her knitting through pair of large
brass spectacles.
"Haven't you heard, nanny, of
fathers last whim?" sighed the girl.

Attorney Cows.

Attorney is known for the breed of
cows which bears its NAME. These are
so called, probably, because the first
ones imported were from that island,
although now very few that are sold as
Attorney cows are directly from there.
Those ofthat breed actually exported
from these islands are. generally from
Jersey, where the cattle are much the
same as those of 'Alderney, small, with
tapering heads, and of d delicate fawn-
color. The Guernsey COW is esteemed
by some even more highly than the AL
derney; it is rather larger and more of
a red, brindle color. The COWS are milk
ed three times daily, and the milk is
churned without skimrning. One pound
of butter day is by no means an I'M
common yield for, a good cow. The
W-eabbage is made to reach. a size so
large that the leaves are used to wrap
the butter In for market, while the stalks
are vanished and armed with ferrules,
and extensively used at st. Helier's for
canes. The cows are very carefully
eoddled... The grass they feed on is
highly enriched by vraic, a species of
sea-weed gathered from the reefs at
low-tide. There are two vraic harvests
appointed by the Government -one in
the spring and the other in August-al-
though it is gathered at other. times in
small quantities. All hands turn out in
the season with boats and carts, frequent
ly at night, and tits very lively, pictur-
esque occupations, though often attend
ed with risk and loss of life from the
overlooking of boats or the sudden rise
of the tide. The cows are always teth-
cred when feeding; they eat less in
this way, really giving more milk than
if glutted with food; and, while they are
cropping the grass on one side of field,
it has time to spring up on the other
side. When they have done eating, they
are at once removed from the sun to the
shade. The breed is preserved from in
termixture with other breeds by strong
and arbitrary laws very carefully en-
forced. No cattle are allowed to enter
the islands Except for slaughter within
a certain number of days., with the ex-
ception of oxen for draught.-Atlantic
Islands.
