Wooing Of Prinoess stephanie.

The wooing of the Princess Stephanie
is described BY Brussels correspondent
as having been very practical. Atan en-
tertainment ct the palace Rudolph and
the princess found themselves for q mo-
ment alone. The prince, seizing the OPP
portunity, and preserving the courtfy
style which is nowhere more rigorous
than at Vienna, said: 6 Madame, will
you have me for your husband ?" the re-
ply was simplicity itself, &c Yes, Mon
seigneur." :" Your highness answer
makes me very happy" rejoined the
prince; and she added; "And / promise
you that under all circumstances will
do my duty. = This was all, and they
went out together to join the royal fami-
", when Prince Rudolph said to the
king, "Sire, with your majesty's per-
mission I have asked the Princess Steph-
anie to accept me as her husband. I
have the pleasure to announce to your
majesty that my proposal has been &C.
cepted." 81 am happy, monseigneur,
to receive you as my son-in-law," an
swered the king. The princess political
education has been wholly conducted by
her father, and, speaking Of her lately to
high parsonage, his majesty remarked.
IT have taught the princess that the
first sentiment which ought to inspire
one when one is called upon to reign is
respect for the will Of the nation.''

Begin at Home.

Why do you begin to do good so far
off? This is ruling error. Begin at
the centre, and work outward. IfYou do
not love your wife, do not pretend to
such love for the people OF the Anti.
podes. If you let some family grudge,
some piccadillo, some undesirable ges-
ture, sour your visage toward sister or
daughter, pray cease to teach benifcence
on large scale. Begin not at the next
door, but within your own door, then
with your next neighbor, whether rela-
tive, or superior. Account the man. you
meet the man you are to bless. Give
him such things rs you have. elbow
can I make him or her happier?" This
is the question. If dollar will do it.
give a dollar, if advice will do it, give
advice; if look, smile, or warm
pressure of the hand, or tear will do it,
give the look, smile, hand or tear; but
never forget the happiness of our world
is a mountain Of golden sand, and that it
is your part to cast some contributory
atom every moment.

llNEs IN AN ALBuM
BY BRET HAarE.

Sweet Mary-maid Of San Andreas- ="
Upon her natal day,
Procured an album double Gilt
- Entitled, The Bouquet.
But what it's purpoee was, beyond
Its name, she could not euess:
And SO between its gilded leaves
Inc Hover he gave she'd press.
aeE, blame her not, poetic youth,
ASor deem too great the wrong;
She knew not Hawthorne's bloom, nor loved
Macaulay's flowers Of song.
Her hymn book was the total sum
OF her poetic lore;
And, having read through DR.. Watts,
She did not tsk for Moore
But when she ope'd her book again,
How great was her surprise
To md tho leaves on either side,
Stained deep with crimson dyes,
And in that rose-his latest gift
shapelcss form she views;
Its fragrance sped, its beauty fed,
And vanished all its dews.
o Mary maid Of San Andress-
Too sud was your mistake:
Yet one, methinks, that wiser folks
Are very apt to make.
Who 'twixt these leaves would fix'the shanes
That Love and Truth assume,
WI lind they keep, like Mary's rose,
The stain, and not the bloom.

The words were scarcely ont of nv

upon the stairs; presently the door was

asked sarcastically, pointing to the dis

have disa1med me. II am afraid I've

pounds. There is another view to
be taken when considering the value
of cotton seed meal as compared with
other foods-its manurial value. Ac-
cording TO an analysis made by DR. j
B. Lawes, cotton seed is very valua-
bic used directly upon the soil as a
fertilizer. He finds Of nitrogen $50,
potash 3.12 and phosphoric acid seven
pounds to the hundred weight.
These figures bring the value Of co.,
ton seed meal as Il fertilizer well up
to that of the commercial fertilizers
sold in our market, and, when We re-
member that the richer the food the
richer the manure made from it, it
becomes evident that cotton seed meal
must be a valuable ingredient in our
cattle food mixtures, both as a food and
as a fertilizer. When one is feeding
the very hest quality Of early cut
English hay, we'll mixed with clover,
cotton seed meal may not practically
be worth for feeding very much more
than corn meal, but if the cheaper
and coarser kinds of food, as over-ripe
hay, swamp hay, either fresh or salt,
and the straw of tnreshed grain are
used largely, theory would Indicate
that its value would he much greater.
