POTTRIDGE'S LUCK.

Mr.. Thomas Pottridge, of Smallborough
had been renowned in his native town for
his constant run of luck, so that at the
age of forty he was reckoned the warm
est" man there-an alderman who had
been twice mayor of his city, a church
warden and a very popular character
among the fair sex by reason of his being
a bachelor. One or two things more only
were wanted to complete his happiness
namely. a good wife, nice little estate in
the country, and the honor Of knighthood.
Mr.. Pottridge wished to become Sir Thorn
as Pottridge. Having long cherished this
idea, and resolved, indeed. that he would
not propose for the hand of pretty Miss
Lucy Dott, the bankers daughter, until
he could make her ladyship, Mr.. Pot
fridge ended by thinking that he could
best secure his object by causing himself
to be reelected mayor, and arranging if
possible, that H. R. H. the Prince of
Wales should pay visit to Scarborough
during the term of his office. Intent upon
this scheme, Mr.. Pottridge came up to
town to call upon Lord Beacons6eld. Lord
Beaconsfield hardened kindly to the gro
GERS prayer. Smallborough was about to
inaugurate some public baths, the first es-
adjustment of the kind ever seen in the
town, and nothing could be more suitable
than that the Heir of the Throne should
preside over the ceremonial. "Truly,"
said the Premier politely, when he had
heard the alderman speak, ''the cleanli-
ness of the people must always be matter
of interesting concern to those who are
brought into relations with them. 1 shall
be happy to take Her Majesty's commands
on the-ahem!- -public-spirited proposal
which you have laid before me-"
eff you can manage it, my lord. l should
! be glad if the visit could take place some
time after the 9th of November next, for
I shall be mayor then and able to see that
the reception given is a proper one."
'Ah, quite so p answered Lord Bea-
consfeld, dropping his eyeglass, for he had
studied Mr.. Pottridge through it and
knew the man by heart.
Leaving Whitehall, Mr.. Pottridge saun-
tered towards Regent street, and as he
walked along life seemed rosy to him be-
cause OF Miss Dott. He began to stare
into the shop windows, admiring pretty
things which he was tempted to buy fol
his love. He was turning over this fancy
and fumbling wistfully at the pocket where
Ibis check-book lay when suddenly he be

LOVES LIGHT.
BY E. s. GREGORY.

On western hills the day declines,
The sun sinks low beneath the pines,
And where the last ray lingering shines,
IT'S softly fading into night.
The tender cleaning. shade on shade,
Comes darkling down, on glen and glade,
What time, in beauty bright array'd,
The stars bloom into sight?
Then love takes up the evening song,
And memory, kindling warm and strong,
Recalls dead hopes in thickening throng,
And paints the past in mellow light.
On.eastern slopes the sunbeams wake,
The soft rays, lighting lawn and lake,
On kindling earth and heaven break,
In radiance tOuch'd with mornings dew:
The dawn's young beauties, fresh and sweet,
In blissful union, move and meet,
What time the passing shadows fleet,
OF night depart from view.
And love sings soft the matin song,
And hope surveys, on pini0ns strong,
The futures blessings, rich and long,
And paints their dawn with prescience true
Morning and noon and set of sun,
Through all the hours of day that run.
The light from heaven at dawn begun,
The waiting earth with beauty fills,
And nature smiles, in all her moods,
Through lawn and lake and wild and woods,
What time the heavenly lustre floods,
And all her pulses thrills;
And love takes up her Joyous song,
And hope and memory, true and strong,
Present and past with raptures thrOng,
And light which heavens own love distills,

AN INTERESTING INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
In the early part Of the late war, when
Gen. Grant was in command of the army
before Vicksburg, a number of officers
were gathered at his headquarters having
pleasant social time. One of them in
vited the party to join him in social glass;
all but one accepted. He asked to be ex-
cnsed, saying that he ''never drank" The
hour passed, and each went his way to his
respective command. r. 'i" 'ifi,2
A few days after this the officer who de-
clined to drink received a note from Gen.
Grant to report at headquarters. He
obeyed the order, and was soon in the pres
ence of the General. Grant said to him,
'You are the officer, I believe, (for their
acquaintance was slight) who remarked
the other day that you never drank" He
modestly answered that he was. "Then,"
continued the General, 'syou are the man
1 have been looking for to take charge of
the Commissary department. and I order
that you be detailed to that duty" He
served his country faithfully until the
close Of the war and was honorably dis
charged. Years passed, and Grant had
come to be President. The officer had
settled down to the duties of private life,
and the little incident was cherished as a
pleasant memory. @ Aa" '',si''s 4h
The trouble on the border between Texas
and Mexico along the Rio Grande attrac-
ted the attention of Congress, and COM
mission was ordered to ascertain the facts
and report. Again President Grant re-
membered the man who ''never drank"
and appointed him chairman of the board.
The place was accepted, and he entered
faithfully upon the work. The report sub
mitted shows the thoroughness with which
the duty was discharged.
While engaged in this work he made the
acquaintance of a gentleman who owned
an extensive cattle ranch in Southern
Texas. The acquaintance inspired conf
dence, and, years after, when the Texan
gentleman decided to sell his ranch, he
placed it in the hands of the man who
@'never drank" and during the last month
he has effected sale, to an English COM
pany, of the ranch of 5000 acres of land
and several thousand head of cattle for an
even million Of dollars; out of this he gets
commission that will be snug fortune
in these hard times. The company that
bought will enter largely upon packing
beef for foreign markets, slaughtering
their meat on their ranch from their own
herds. The superintendent Of their bus
mess has been rendered to and accepted
by the man who ''never drank" and he
goes in few days to his new field of labor.
This takes from Chicago one of her most
esteemed and honored citizens, but it gives
one to Texas who will always be found on
the side of order and good government

~ A New Hearing Machine.

Professor J. W. Graydon, Of this city,
has for some time been experimenting
with new invention called the audiphone
which is intended to supplant the old ear
trumpet for use by the deaf. There has
been an audiphone invented in Chicago,
but Professor Graydon claims that this
instrument is great improvement upon
that. The aud1phone, as constructed by
Professor Graydon, consists of a small
electro-microphone, to the centre of the
diaphragm of which is attached a cord,
which may be Of any length, and to the
other end of which cord is attached q
small piece Of wood. The manner of work
ing the instrument is very simple, and can
be briefly described as follows The deaf
person takes firm hold of the piece Of
wood between his upper and lower teeth,
and the party desiring to converse with
the deaf man talks through the electro
microphone attachment at the other end
Of the cord, holding the cord taut. The
theory advanced is, that the sound is con-
veyed through the nerves of the teeth and
the bones Of the face to the auditory nerve;
which, owing to some detection of theear,
caused by disease is not approachabTe
through the usual channel, thence to the
brain. The instrument will only work,
however, when deafness has been caused
by disease. In case Of paralysis Of the au-
ditory nerve it is useless. Some very in
teresting tests Of the audiphone were made
at the deaf and dumb department attached
to the Third Intermedial School.
Among others was one of bright-look-
ing colored girl, who was entirely deaf.
The Professor talked to her at distance
Of about twenty-five feet through the in
strument, and she repeated after him
everything which he said. Another was
little girl who had been deaf and dumb
from birth. Using the mute alphabet she
informed the teacher in charge that she
could hear that one statement Of the Pro-
fessor was made in a louder tone of voice
than another, but that she could not I'M
derstand what he said, never having been
able to hear such sounds before. In some
other cases, however, the pupils upon
whom the instrument was tried said in
their mute language that they were unable
to distinguish any sound whatever. It is
fair to presume that the instrument will,
as have the telephone and microphone, be
greatly improved, and that at no distant
day it will be Of great service to those
afflicted by deafness. x Cincinnati Gazette.

How TO SAVE CLOVER SEED.-One of
our best clever-seed savers is just at our
elbow, and he says: s'Tell them the second
crop is for the seed, and is really fit for no
other purpose, as it salivates the stock
fed on it; that the best time to cut for
seed is a very nice point to determine. It
should be cut when majority of the heads
turn brown, and before any begin to shed
off the little seed pods, each Of which con-
tains seed. Cut the second crop of clo-
yer just as though it were for hay, rake it
into windows, and let it lie and take one
or two showers; then put it into very small
cocks while damp, about one good pitch
fork full in place, and when it is dry put
into stacks and cap with something that
will turn water; or what is still better, if
you have barn shed or barn, put it there
and let it remain until you get huller to
take it out for you. There are hulIers
enough now in the state to hull all the seed
needed for home use, and the owners of
the hullers are willing and anxious to 90
to any section where work can be had.
Let our farmers save all the clover seed
they can, and thus help to make thousands
Of dollars for the State. now sent out each
year for clover seed to SOW.
