HOME MANUFACTURES,

room for more, should stimulate our people,
and especially our capitalists. to engage more
extensively In the manufacture Of most Of
those articles which we need and for which
we are now compelled to send to the North
and West. There never was a time in the
history Of this country when such rare ep-
portuutty was offered to manufacturers to
reap rich rewards by the expenditure Of COM
paratively small sums OF money. Under the
new constitution Of our State, which has been
already adopted and will soon be promul-
gated all machinery and other property

A Blunder and its Reward.
Forney's Progress.

During his first visit to Paris, M. La
sale, a distinguished German, presented
himself at the house of well-known
lady, to whom he had sent letters of in
PRODUCTION in advance. When the SER
want opened the door and received his
card she conducted him to the boudoir
and told him to be seated, saying:
Madame will come Immediately"
Presently the lady entered. Sac was
dishabille and her feet were bare, COW
cred only with loose slippers. She
bowed to him. carelessly, and said:
"Ah, there you are. good morning"
She threw herself on a sofa, let fall a
slipper. and reached out to Lasalle her
very pretty foot.
Lasalle was naturally completely as
founded, but he remembered that at
his home in Germany it was the custom
sometimes to kiss lady'S hand, and
he supposed it was the Paris mode to
kiss her foot. Therefore he did not
hesitate to imprint a kiss upon the fas-
cinatlng foot so near him, but he could
not avoid saying, II thank you madam
for this new method of making q lady's
acquaintance. 1t is much better, and
certainly more generous, than kissing
the hand"
The lady jumped up, highly indis-
nant. "Who are you, sir, and what do
you mean?'
He gave his name.
'You are not, then, corn-doctol"
Il am charmed to say, madame, that
[ am not"
'But you sent me the conductors
card"
twas true. Lasalle, in going out
that morning, had picked up the card
of conductor from his bureau and
put it in his pocket. This, without
glancing at, he had given to the servant,
who had taken it to her mistress. There
was nothing to do but laugh over the
joke.

you are house owners, and you must
watch over your doorkeepers and the

lice, and not to have in your houses
suspicious characters. This cannot be
regarded as a trivial matter. See what
happens among us. Soon an honest
man will not be able to appear in the

there are. Happily, God has preserved
my life, but Yuor Menzensof they

have fired at. Therefore, I trust in
you. Your aid is necessary. 1t is your
duty" The Official Gazette adds that
the reply to these words was sincere
and unanimous "Hurrah!"

could, got my night dress from the
wardrobe where it hung, and pinned
inside it all the money that Reuben had
left me, being IN to great hurry HIM
self to go to the bank and deposit 1t.
That money made one of the justlfica-
tons / gave myself in excusing my
fears; the fact of my holding SO many
hundred dollars IN my possession might
be known to others-very likely was.
Being thus made ready, [ sought the
newspaper pile, and took out the Ir5b-
atqaes and Suns, on account of their great
cracking powers. feeling for them ra-
ther than seeing them in the dlmness.
Then l carpeted the floor Of the back
room in every direction with the out
spread sheets, SO that no step could be
made on them without awakening me
if I fell asleep, which now 1t was
very certain [ should do. That done,
[ un ocked my trunk, and taking out
all my jewelry and ornaments, spread
them on the table as if just used III
some extraordinary toilette, my watch
and chain, my string Of pearls and dia-
mond sohtaires, my necklace Of pink
topaz and brilliants, and in fact all ! had
in the world, with my shawl and my
one lace f1ounce, spread them out In
plain sight, that a thief, seeing them,
might snatch and run, and leave me
alone and safe with Reuben's money;
my jewelry was all my own before l
married him. Then, tiptoeing over the
cracking 1rib,mes and Suns, got hold
of the fire poker. the scissors, the sharp
steel eraser, and the open pen-knife, and
slipping the poker under the edge OF
the bedside, where | could reach it for
defense at any moment, and the scissors
under the pillow, and with the keen
steel things in either hand, drew aside
the curtains altogether from the alcove.
and putting in my hand to pull off the
skirts and things | had SO carelessly
tossed there in my haste, [ touched
with my own, which was stone cold, a
large warm hand. "Ah, great heavens
great Eeavensr' | shrieked at the top oil
my lungs, without staying to think
whether [ could scream or not. "There
is a man in the bed!"
"Good gracious, Sally, what's the mat
ter? Do you mean to bring down the
house?" came sleepy voice. Just
got home? What's the clock? Heigho
My train broke down and we had tc
come back. What-what the deuce
does this mean? What are those knives
in your hands for? Do you mean tC
murder me? Have you lost your wits?'
And shaking off a spray of skirts anC
things that he had never noticed there
when he retired, Reuben sat up ano
stared at me. And he declares that
more than once in the gray dawn, | hal
woke and cried out sobbinelv, although
in his protecting arms, "Oh. Reuben
