"The man who takes over ten min
utes to pack trunk is a doltl" said
Mr.. Bowerman, as he slammed down
the lid and turned the key. Mrs.
Bowerman had been at it just seven
days and seven nights, and when her
husband went up stairs at 10 o'clock
she sat down before the open trunk
with tears in her eyes. You see how
it is" she explained, as he looked down
upon her in awful contempt. I've got
only part of my dresses in here, saying
nothing of q thousand other things, and
even now the lid won't shut down.
I've got such a headache I must lop
down for q few minutes" She went
away to lop, and Mr.. Bowerman sat
down and mused: "Space is space.
The use of space is in knowing how to
utilize it," Removing everything, he
began repacking. He found that silk
dress could be rolled to the size of q
quart Jug A freshly-starched lawn was
made to take the place Of pair of slip
pers. Her brown bunting fitted into
the niche she had reserved for three
handkerchiefs, and her best bonnet was
turned bottom-up in its box and packe d
full of underclothing. He sat there
viewing sufficient empty space to pack
In whole bed, when she returned, and

Domestic Thunder Storms.

Not many lovers, l suppose, have
found that their welded life answered
quite to the dreams of their courtship-
not quite, mine didn't. Yet who would
enter complaint against heaven be-
cause May does not quite match with
October2 If my experience can be OF
any use, think thunder storm, so it
was not to do mischief, may sometimes
clear the atmosphere under the roof
about as well as it does outside. And
so sure am of its blessing that when ]
hear people say they have lived together
five-and-twenty years and never had the
least difference, wonder if they havo
not had q great deal of indifference.
It is the lesson we have to learn, too,
through our saddest and most painful
bereavements.-R Collyer.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1879-09-26

that he had regular "rat tail" he had
failed in all attempts to dispose of him
on that account, until accident suggested
and threw in his way the means OF sup
plying the want. A neighbor having
lost fine horse who happened to have
large flowing tail, it occurred to the
roguish horse-trader that, if he could
somehow appropriate for his own steed
that desirable member, it might be made
the means of accomplishing to advantage
the long-deferred sale. Acting upon
this idea, he carefully separated 1t, leav-
ing nothing but the hide, to which of
course the hair chung fast, and this he
strained over his own horses stump.
sewed it tightly, and then hurried off to
find purchaser. This he accomplished
without delay; and the buyer, much
pleased with his bargain, took him home
and put him in stall. The next morn
ing early he was summoned to the
stable by the noise made by the horse,
who was kicking the sides of the stall in
the intervals of looking backward as if
in distress; and after good deal of
investigation into the cause for
VIC IIiCh was perIOrIneu 30 neatly
that it quite baffled him at
irst-he found the rawhide of the false
tail had shrunk, and, sewed strongly,
was pinching the poor horse 30 unmer-
cifully that he couldn't stand still. Re-
ieved of it, there stood his neighbours
rat-tailed horse; and when directly
afterward the scamp was charged with
it, of course he did it, ne said, un-
blushingly, indeed with hearty peals of
laughter, as if it was the climax of good
Jokes, winding up his confession with
the received axiom, Gall fair in horse
swap;" and that he expected his neigh
Dor to "trade on his o,on judgment,
as he himself had done. OF course the
cheat didn't get into the courts; it was
too novel and too acute, "too good" for
that; but the victimized pocketed his
loss, relying upon getting even with
the successful trickster some day in the
future, or, at least, making himself
square" off of somebody else.

OLD-TIME "REMINISCENCES.
The New England of the south, and the
Necessity for It's Development.
BY W. w.

AS l trust my readers are by this
time aware, L am not writing merely to
amuse those who chance to honor me
with their attention, but with the hope
that what is here set down bearing up
on past and existing conditions of the
South may serve to draw attention to
what in the end may subserve the adj
vantage and prosperity, in some de-
gree, at least, of both sections. / pur-
pose to deal to some extent with the
substantial resources and attrac-
tions with which the South is really
so richly endowed, if, perchance, some
may turn to these advantages, and,
sooner or later, reap good returns from
them.
Let me remark, then, that most un-
doubleday the poverty, and resulting
ignorance and simplicity, of the mount
ain districts-because prosperity, and
resulting wealth, in most cases means
education, books and thousand differ
emit enterprises-came largely of the un-
fortunate start made two-thirds of a
century ago, and not from lack of re-
sources in the country itself. The first
settlers believed implicitly in the pleas
ures and whatever they we're
of the chase, and, so long as they could
raise corn enough to furnish bread for
themselves and feed for their stock,
they troubled themselves but little be-
yond this, their meat, until hogs and
cattle become a substitute and neces.
sity, being gotten "out of the woods"
Placed in these rich and well wooded
and walered valleys, excepting now and
then a small peach or apple orchard
where fruit of the best kind might be
made to yield a superabundance, they
thus existed for half or two-thirds of a
century, the world, somehow, never
having let its daylight stream in upon
them.
And yet, all through that region,
where only the traveller on horseback
or on foot could make his way, coal and
iron are everywhere cropping out"
from the hillsides, in a manner that
would make unlimited fortunes for New
England with the same conditions.
The truth seems to have been. that
fine advantages for living could be had
On far too easy terms. And, in IL
Illustration of this, let me give an Incl
dent, the leading features of which
might be multiplied indefinitely.
On one of my many jaunts through
these valleys, came upon one so ex-
.ceedingly charming in all its belong
ings that friend of mine along could
only utter EXPLANATIONS of pleased sur
prise. The occupant of the one habi-
rtation in it was evidently the monarch
of all he surveyed" With his .pictur-
esque log cabin, located on a small
eminence in the middle of the valley,
behind him was fine peach and apple
orchard, while little further off was a
rustic mill turned by the beautiful
stream that noisily bowled its way

Asphalt and Timber Floors,

A curious method is adopted in
France of laying down floors on ground
floors, which consists of making bed
of hot asphalt and pressing the boards
evenly upon it. Nails are, of course,
not necessary, and perfectly level sur
face may be obtained afterward by
planning. The advantages are very
great in some respects in keeping out
damp, unhealthy exhalations and pre-
venting rot.
