Manufacture of Glucose.

While the rapidly increasing manu- facture of glucose is benefit to farmers in that it affords a growing market for their corn, says Rural NeaO Yorker,
 the abuse of the manufactured product is becoming a serious injury to them as well as to the rest of the community.
 Analyses made in different parts of the country show that the adulteration of sugar by glucose is largely on the in- crease. If the glucose were pure, no effects injurious to health would result from it's use; but as its sweetening capacity is considerably less than that of cane sugar, its employment would be fraud, inasmuch as it is estimated that fifty cents worth of corn would produce five dollars worth of sugar at present prices. Moreover, the glucose used as an adulterant is rarely pure, and con sequently is generally unhealthful,
 causing dyspepsia and similar disorders. Formerly the presence of glucose in sugar could be detected by sticky feeling, so that granulated sugar might be considered free from it; but the art of adulteration has made such strides of late that now fine-looking specimens oi granulated sugar are found on analyses to be badly but skillfully adulterated with the product. Nearly all candies and other sweet-stuffs, as we'll as honey and nearly everything into whose composition sugar enters are similarly aduIerated, and from the frauds thus perpetrated on the public the farmers are as great sufferers as the rest of the community.

Blundering People.

Some people seem born to blunder. They are always blundering. It is ap- parently impossible for them to do any thing without making some mistake about it. They are always getting hurt themselves or unintentionally hurting g somebody else.
 We saw an account of one of these people the other day, who having been nearly killed on the railroad once, was overtaken by locomotive while care lessly walking on the track and injured a second time, while his companion was instantly killed. It was probably the existence of such persons that caused Horace Greeley to say that the adage, "A burnt child dreads the fire" was an abominable lie, and that the truth was, burnt child liked the fire, and after being burnt once would rush into it g second time the first opportunity.
 People of this class are generally termed unlucky, and hence has arisen the maxim, "Beware of an unlucky person. It would be more correct il it ran, Be,oare of e blauaderi,ag person because you can hardly have anything to do with one to whom the habit o carelessness seems to be innate without suffering some disagreeable consequence
 The habit of thoughtlessness whicl results ill constant blunders is developed at very early age, and we see boys who are seldom without torn clothes and mashed or bruised fingers. AS they grow up they are always in trouble on account of some awkward or harmful blunder they have made. s.s.
 This practice of acting without fore thought is simple heedlessness. Tt confound it with courage is error. Tht highest courage is the fruit of delibera ton and settled purpose. It is con sistent not only with calculation bu with caution, and it is as far removed from laundering heedlessness as it i from timidity. t..
 The practical lesson to be learned iron the misfortunes of laundering peopleri to cultivate the habit of forethought ant of always weighing consequences befor you act.-Ledger.

as cheery, his smile as genial ; but the deep discolored scars were still on his face, indelibly printed there, and it was only those to whom he had min istered in their sore need that saw ra- diant beauty in them. For himself, he had almost forgotten them. What was 8 scar or two on his face to the deep, deep, sore scars on his heart? Who would care jot whether 8 poor soli- tary country doctor was ugly or the re- verse? Such were his thoughts as he drove up to his cottage, with Mrs. Nor ton, the poor solitary widow, beside him. She insisted on following him and serving him, and she was so utterly alone that he had not the heart to say her nay. A blue line of smoke curled from the chimneys, cheery glow of freight danced on the window -panes, the door stood hospitably open, to his unbounded surprise.
 "Ah this is like coming home. What good fairy has been at work, l wonder" he said, stepping into the light and warmth.
 "Madgie oh, my darling, is it in- deed you?
 "Me, Phil why, of course; who else should it be ?" Then drawing closer, "Dear Phil, can you forgive me?"
 "Forgive you, Madgie?" he said huskily, forgive you what 9 -f
 "My folly. I'm wiser now, Phil, and I think know the value of the treasure I once despised."
 "Come nearer to the light, Madgie, and look at me. I'm less like hero now than ever p
 "Phil, I wouldn't have one of these changed" and she laid her hand lightly on his cheek. CT would not give one unsightly scar for the Cross of the Legion of Honor. You are the hero o1 my heart now; long ago, I wanted the ] hero of my fancy and imagination. For give me, Phil, and let us forget all my folly, for I'm heartily ashamed oi it."
 Just then the bells of Broadbay Church rang out joyous peal, and friends grthered round to welcome back the doctor and wiring. his hano heartily, looking the praises they could not speak. To go forth bravely ir search of honor, and return victorious is great thing; to go forth and brave death at the call of duty is agood thing And as Phil Bentick glanced round a the kindly faces about him, he felt ht l had his full reward.
 1 A few weeks after, Madgie and Phi were married and when Nellie Ora, hame came to pay her long-promiset visit in the summer, and heard by de grees the whole story, she was forced te admit that Madgie's hero was req hero after all, and one "whose like" wt do not meet with every day.

Hints to Stammerers.

I commenced operations by writing out very large number of ordinary sentences as they presented themselves. Having examined these sentences one by one, and knowing we'll where ] should fail in uttering them as they stood, I sought to devise some method by which these consonant initials might be got rid of, or, at all events, diminished. It struck me that if I could contrive, by any artificial division of the words com posing each sentence, to bring the con- sonants at the end of @ division, instead of at the commencement, a grand object would thus be achieved; for consonants at the end of word present no special difficulty, the glottis having been already opened by the preceding vowel sound, the terminating con- sonant flows out almost as Q matter of course. It is as when we pour liquid from 0 full bottle. At first it runs in
 termittently. with "gluk-gluk," but when once enough of the liquid is out to admit the air freely the obstruction ceases. In similar way the object of the stammerer is to prevent the glottis from closing when once it is opened. To ascertain whether or not my idea was practicable, I wrote out in the ordinary way one sentence at time. l then re- wrote, this sentence, not divided into simple words, but making every initial consonant the final letter of the preced- | ing word. Having so divided the words composing the sentence, I then read them over aloud many times, according to this artificial division, to try if they were pronounceable without any gross peculiarity. practiced this method in- cessantly, both in reading and colloquial speaking; and, to my astonishment, I discovered within 8 few weeks that l was welding an instrument which was almost invariably successful; and with this consciousness of increased power my confidence daily increased, so that I could frequently speak on without regard to any method. All who had known me up to this time were perfectly astounded, and anxiously inquired by what means so remarkable @ change had been effected for mine, be it observed, was no mere occasion. al hesitation, but most habitual, un, mis stakable, and inveterate stammer, ing. Shortly after this change, I had numerous transactions, which involved 8 large amount of talking, with @ gen
 tleman occupying somewhat superior position, and, being anxious to know whether the working of my nenta machinery was at all observable tc outsiders, I asked him whether he hat ever observed any peculiarity in my speaking. His reply was: "No; only that you speak very distinctly. Chem bers' Journal.

City and Country.

The difference between "city' and their country cousins is more marked than most people believe. The first 0 man has on finding himself for the first time in great city is of vague excitement, accompanied by @ sense of danger. The multiplicity of objects appear fantastic to an eye accus toned to rural scenery; the uninter- mittent noises, the entangled yet pur- poseful movements, and, above all, the shifting panorama of unfamiliar human faces, combine to throw the visitor into state of mind totally strange to him. And amid so much tumultuous life he sees death everywhere on the lookout strange regions looks at the faces of those he meets in search of some rehec- tion of his own perturbation, he looks in vain. The countenance of the city man, as he threads his way along the street, is curiously impressive. At first glance it appears also to be unobserv- ant; but this 1t is not. For although he seems to look at nothing, it soon be- comes evident that he sees everything. He mechanically informs himself, out of the corner of his eye, of everything that might tend to obstruct or threaten him and though he passes through thou sand people without encountering the gaze or treading on the toes of any one of them he will recognize an acquain- tance or calculate tc an inch the rate of speed at which he must make the cross ing in order to escape the omnibus from one direction and the truck from the other. Doubtless custom and memory will account for large part of it; yet the impressive face would probably ap. pear far less impressive than it does had not the contraction of the facial muscles, brought about by the constant assaults of innumerable impressions and the i'm. possibility of responding to them all, be- come in manner fixed. The houses and the pavemants, the vehicles and the hubbub, produce an effect upon these muscles just the reverse of that exer cised by the hills and dales of the coun try; they press them in instead of draw ing them out-in other words, the minC resists them instead of sympathizine with them.

Artemus Ward.

MT. TooIe, who was one of Artemus Wards most intimate friends in London,
 says that he told him the following story: He went to lecture at remote place, where his face was not known.
 He was little late. The audience became impatient, and began to stamp with their feet and to whistle. By-and- by Ward came out and began to move about the platform, dusting the chairs and desk. Th 5ook him for 8 "supe," and became still more impatient
 Presently he turned around, dropped the dust-cloth and said: "Now, having dusted the chairs, I will begin my lecture" Many of the jokes he made were not so good as this, but, no doubt, served to amuse himself and others. An acquaintance told me.that he was once riding in a Broadway omnibus when Browne got in, and, on being asked for his fare, inquired of the driver if he could change five dollars. The driver said he could not, stopped the coach, and requested Ward to get out. Upon this Ward became very indignant. Why should he get out ? Because he had not the proper fare. "But have," he said "I never said I hadn't ten cents; only asked if you could change five dollars. "-Scri6ner for Nouen,6er. 1sae To TIE un real estate if must be first
