An Awful Snnirt.

A Rockland young man until quite
recently was courting a fat girl at the
North End, and had progressed very
favOrably with his suit. One evening
last week he dressed up in his best
clothes, carefully combed his hair, and
started out to make his tri-weekly visit
to his fair one, who was Avaiting in the
parlor with fond expectation in her
heart and cold in her hand, supcrin-
duced by the tluctuating weather. This
was, as you might say, the prologue to
the tragedy. 1t appears, moreover,
that the fat girls father-who is worth
many thousand dollars in good, sensi--
BILE bonds, and, as a consequence, is an
object of the young mans tender re-
gard-had for several nights previous
been the victim of some unknown mis-
creant who had raided on his hen pen
with disastrous effect Sick of such
he had prepared CHASTITY
retribution for the fowl villains, and to
this end had filled a big garden syringe
with about a gallon of ancient beef
brine, seasoned with garlick. and flaw
Ored with assaf9tida, and was lying in
behind box, where he could
sweep every approach to the hennery.
The young man, who is pretty well ac-
quainted with the whole family, thou. .cht
he would surprise his girl by entering
the house unexpectedly by the back
way. This is the situation:

inge. In the uncertain light of early
evening the old man sees a figure
stealthily drawing near his guarded
pen. With bated breath he waits the
onslaught. The syringe sounds its
dreadful .'wh-s-s-h-p," and its deadly
contents fly through the air like wild
and mad avenger, A yell that tore the
fat girl off the piano stool and curdled
the old mans blood, followed the dis
charge, and when the neighbors rushed
in. under the impression that the
Blaine boom had burst right in the
neighborhood, they found the unfortu-
nate young man paving madly around
on the ground, and screaming out aw-
full Mexican words terrible to hear,
while the old man lowered over the
scene with the syringe in his hands,
looking like an animated figure es-
capped from an allegory. Sympathiz-
ing arms bore the young man into the
house, after their owners had stopped
their nostrils with cotton, and it re-
quired the combined efforts of the fat
girl and eight friends to bring him to,

Utilization of Small Streams.

Country Gentleman.
In general the land bordering upon
small brooks and even larger streams
running through farms or fields is en-
tirely useless and in many eases is q
nursery of noxious weeds and h;irbor
for vermin. BY the expenditure of a
little labor or a small sum of money
such useless land may be turned to
valuable account. BY damming the
stream pond of respectable size may
be made. which, stocked with fish. will
become Il source OF larger income than
several times its area of the hess land
upon the farm. Fish culture is too
often supposed to be Il troublesome and
fussy business, in which one may spend
much money TO little advantage. But
l do not propose fish culture. l suggest
stocking the pond thus made with fish
of kind easily kept, which will not
require to be fed artiiicially; such kinds,
in fact, as will feed themselves. As a
rule. the most desirable things cost
for their attainment in proportion
to their scarcity and desirability.
Trout, among fish. are the choicest
kind and the most costly to procure and
it is probable that the man who gets 80
dollar for pound of trout grown in q
pond has well earned his money. Livery
one can not eat trout, as every one can
not drink champagne, but there are
agreeable and wholesome fishes, as well
as wines that cost very little, and the
average person may we'll be contentcd
with them. A perch, either white or
yellow, is not far behind trout, in
flavor and tirmness' of flesh, and this
fish will thrive in any pond above the
character of Il mud hole, and in water
that is too warm for trout. Eels are
easily grown in ordinary ponds, and
these are choice meats. Black bass is
choice fish, and may be mixed with
chubs and minnows, upon which they
will feed. In fact, the kind of fish to be
procured is altogether a secondary mat
ter to the making of the pond for them.
