coed to search his pockets. Each one PANIED

The value of 4 wife to |. Hi,tor;an.

The late Sir William Napier's s1History of the
War in the Peninsula has passed through sew
eral editions, and is now a standard work. OF
ali the wars in which Great Britain has been en-
gagged, that war of six years was the most i'm
portant, difficult and expensive, and Sir VII
iams history is worthy of the transactions il re-
cords and the skill and heruism IL ceirbrates
Perhaps no military history of equal excellence
has ever been written II cost the author six
teen years of continuous labor. He was himself
a witness Of several OF the series of operations
and was engaged in many Of the battles. His
wide acquaintance with military men enabled
him to consult many distinguished officers, En-
glish and French, and he was especially supplied
with materials and documents, by the Duke Of
Wellington and Marshal Soult. The ordinary
sources of information were embarrassing from
their abundance. One mass of materials deserves
especial mention. When Joseph Bonaparte fed
from Victoria, he left behind him very large
collection of letters, which, however, were with
out order, in three languages, many almost illeg-
lille, and the most important i'm cipher, of which
there was no key. IL was the correspondence of
Joseph Bonaparte, while nominally King of
SPAIN Sir William was in state of perplexity.
use of these valuable materials, when his wife
undertook to arrange the letters according to
dates and subjects, to make . table Of reference,
and to translate and epitomise the contents of
each. Many of the most important documents
were entirely in cipher; of some letters, about
one-haf was in cipher, and others had few
words SO written interpreted. All these docu-
ments and letters, Lady Napier arranged, and
with rare ssgacity and patience, she deciphered
the secret writing. The entire correspondence
was then made available for the historians pur-
pose. She also made out all of Sir Williams
rough, interlined manuscripts which were al
most illegible to himself, and wrote out the
whole work fair for the printers-it may be said
three times, 90 frequent were the changes. Sir
William mentions these facts in the preface to
the edition of 1851, and in paying this tribute to

At last she completely cured him. For months
she had patiently endured the pangs so many
thousands of young wives are compelled to suffer.
Almost every morning at breakfast the heartless
husband expressed the hope that he might live
TO See the day when he should get such coffee as
he used 20 have at home. Or such corn-bread as
his mother was wont to make or bake. At din
ner the meat was Over-baked in the range. To
be sure his mother used to roast the meat in an
Old-fashioned Dutch tin oven, and the piece was
always done to turn-the last turn of the re-
yolying spit. Those days were forever gone, but
he might and ought to get such green-apple
pie with new cheese his mother used to give
him. At length the long-suffering wife arose in
her wrath, upset the table, sending the dishes
and their contents crashing TO the carpet strided
over to her astOunded husband, gave him a box
ON the ear which knocked him off his chair, and
remarked: 'There's clip over the head for you,

domestic peace and quiet in that house, with
never even an alusion TO the maternal cookery

Move, Cure for sr;eht,s Disease.

About twenty years ago n daughter of mine
then about years old-was given up to die by
the family physician. who said that the disease
was incurable, and that it was never known to
be cured either in Europe or America. The ply
sieians, on giving the case up, told my wife to
give the child anything that she wanted, and to
make her comfortable possible while she
lived. The child constantly called for beans;
my wife cooked some quick as possible, not
stopping to parboil them, as is usually done, but
boiled beans, pork and potatoes together in the
first water, and when well cooked she gave them
to the child to eat. The child then went to
sleep, and from that time began to improve. She
is now the mother Of two children. She is not
troubled with the disease unless she takes q
we're cold, and when that happens she at once
uses her old remedy, and it is always effectual.
The physician who attended her called few
days after the bean experiment and was sur
prised tn the change in the child; he inquired
what my wife had done for her, and, upon hear
ing, his surprise was increased, and he requested
an exact description of the manner in which the
food was cooked. After considerable thought
about the matter, he said that the only cause for
such effect was perhaps that the beans were
cooked in the first water. The physician is now
dead, or would refer to him to verify the facts.

The Distance Apart for Shade Trees.

The custom of planting shade trees too closely
together largely prevails in this country. 1t is Of
ten the case, that in two or three years after
planting row of trees, they have to be thinned
One-half New York correspondent of the
ImericaR CHlfrator says upon this subject:
''Most people fail To look ahead In the direc-
ton of future results of the present plans and
work. This IL PERHAPS noticed ~ muhc in the
planting of shade trees as In any other depart
ment. In planting shade and ornamental trees
on a lawn, five trees are set out where but two or
three should stand yet it is to attract attention
to the consideration Of the proper distance apart
for planting trees along streets and highways
that have penned this communication.
"For real value, symmetrical appearance and
beauty of Autumnal foliage, no tree is equal to
the hard or silyer-leaf maple, and throughout the
North are found, here and there, farmers who
have set them out along the highways skirting
their land; yet in the majority of instances, the
trees are set out entirely too close. But n few
days since, noticed a row of fine thrifty naples,
not six inches in diameter, the branches of which
interiaced each with those Of the neighb0ring
tree Five years hence this row will present n
solid mass of leaves and branches, causing early
decay.
Thirty feet apart is plenty close enough to
permit the full development of the maple, and,
on good strong soil, would increase the distance
to forty or ffty-five feet. The aim should not he
to obtain solid wall of branches the whole
length of the line, hut to have open spaces, that
the sunshine may reach the highway and quick
ly dry on all surperffuous moisture, and prevent
the soil from being damp and muddy. When
setting out any kind of shade or ornamental
trees safe rule is first to find some fully devel-
oped specimen Of the same variety, and picture
out to yourself how much room the trees you are
about to set ont would occupy if they, too, were
fully grown. My word for il, you win edge along
few more feet with your tree than you at first
intended.

in few years what they gather from the trees

ing late varieties usually selected for the pur
pose. Cherry trees are not desirable unless the
ground can be kept well cleared from spronts
emanating from roots and fallen pits. Trans
planted trees should have their tops cut back
and also be heavily mulched with coarse manure,
or what in practice seems to answer well, in
verted sod placed about the trunk, with fiat
stones or bricks for covering"

Everybody will rcmember the joke that South
ern postmaster perpetrated on Amos Kendall,
when the latter was Postmaster General. That
great man wrote to his subordinate to ascertain
show far the Tombigbee river ran up" The IA
cetious reply was that ''the Tombigbee river
doesn't run1lp ut air. 1t is not pleasant to he
obliged to add that the Postmaster fell n victim
to his jocular propensity, the ruffled dignity of
the autOcrat demanding his retirement. In the
course Of business the other day, came across
the response of an Iowa postmaster to an inquiry

is not bad in its way. 1t ran: "The Rev. -

Petroleum in Pulmonary Diseases.

The BHrlefn de Therapeatiqae states that a re-
finer of petroleum having been officially prohb-
ited-at the request of several pharmaciens- from
the distribution of petroleum in medicinal doses,
an inquiry was subsequently instituted rs to the
alleged utility of the article in affections of the
chest. The petroleum of Pennsylvania and yir-
ginia was first experimental upOn,-a very safe
substance, for even considerable quantities,
when swallowed by error, have caused only nan
sea. 1t is found that in chronic bronchitis, with
abundant approximations, il rapidly diminishes
the amount of the secretions and the paroxysms
ofcoughing, and in simple bronchitis rapid amel-
ioration has been obtained. Its employment in
phthisis has been continued for too short n time,
as yet, to allow of any Judgment being formed
rs to its efficiency, beyond that it diminishes
the expeetoration, which also loses its puruleDt
character. The petroleum is customarily taken
in doses of n teaspoOnful before each meal, and,
after the first day, any nausea which it may
excite in SONS persons disappears.

The Belle and the Student.

At CERTAIN splendid evening party, a haughty
young beauty turned to n student who stood
near her. and said:
''Cousin John, understand your eccentric
friend L. is here; i have great curiosity 10
see him. Do bring him here, and introduce him
to me.S
The student went iu searh of his friend, and mt
length found him loungiug on n sofa.
"Come. - said he, my beautiful eous-
In CathaIine wishes to lie introduced TO you"
"WeIl, trot her ont, john" drawled D,
with an affected yawn.
John returned to his cousin, and advised her
to defer the introduction 10 a more favorable
time, repeating the answer he had received.
The beauty bit her lip, but the next moment
said; "Well, never fear! insist on being intro
duecd.
After some delay, l. was led up and the
ceremony Of introduction performed. Agreeably
surprised by the beauty and commanding ap-
pesrance of Catherine, l. made profound
bow but instead of returning it, she stepped
backward, and raising her eye-glass, surveyed
him deliberately from head TO foot; then waving
the back of her hand toward him, drawled ont:

Take Care of the Orchard.

Whatever on the farm does not rise to a Ger
tain dignity in the estimation of the farmer is
usually sadly neglected, if not otherwise abused.
While every farm has its orchard on n great
many il is considered of very little account be-
ing used only for supplying the home wants.
We have heard farmers 20 40 far as 10 say il was
cheaper to buy fruit than TO raise it, This opin-
ion, however, does not find general favor we are
happy TO say; but while it is usually thought de
sirable to have an orchard, il il frequently the
last thing cared for, if it is ever cared for We
have seen trees in cultivated orchards shameful
ly abused, and that il permitted by the own
er could not be accounted for for if tree is
worth planting, it would seem that the owner
would realize that it was worth preserving. Not
only does the owner himself sometimes show an
astonishing disregard of the interests of the ap-
pie trees by ploughing through the roots, and
breaking the trees with the whiffietrees, but he
looks eomplacently on while the hired man does
the same thing. Sometimes a man will he care
less of his own so far as his own conduct is con-
cerned, but when another does what he does he
is aroused to see the nature of his own misle-
meanor, as well as the one who is doing likewise,
and demonstrate. But some farmers appear to be
utterly Indifferent as to who abuses the trees of
the orchard, or how it is done. They will suffer
the pruning to be done not only in n slovenly
way, but in an injurious way. The man is sent
into the tree with rough, heavy boots, and he
rubs off the bark ut every step, and does more
damage than any respectable pruning would
compensate for; hut the pruning is often not re-
sIectable III is SIMPLY Dutcnerlng. little limbs
get of, however, the owner seems satisfied.
Then, perhaps, some beautiful looking apple
attracts his eye, or the eye of some else, and
he hurls club among the branches, or suffers
some one else to do it. One would be led TO sup
pose that he thought the tree the rock of Gibral-
tar. 1t is no wonder that tree treated in any
such manner fails to give its owner satisfaction.
A tree is endowed with life, and the machinery
of life 1t has o circulation, lungs and skin, and
these are susceptible Of injury, and when injnr-
ed must decrease the vitality of the tree, rs the
vitality of the human body il decreased by dis
ease. While the farmer in many instances, no
doubt, thinks that our pOmologists are eNtrava-
giant in their ideas of the needs of the orchard in
the time they devote to it, it is not true, and
very much benefit might be derived by all of us
if we would strive TO initiate them. There are
difficulties i'm growing an orchard which are Of
ten diseouraging. The varieties selected are Of
ten unfit for the locality, and other things come
mp to dishearten, but it will pay to deal with
them all, and by patience and perseverance to
have a good orchard on the farm, and to take
good care of it when it is grown as well as while
il is growing
