This from Dick Ashliegh, as with the
help of cane, he limped slowly into
the cheerful parlor where his sisters
were practising duet.
Thus commanded, shy little Lettie
looked up rather confusedly. "The
fact is, Dick, can only remember one
thing that have not told YOU"

rupted Dick.

her down on to the low ottoman beside

"Neyer mind" answered Dick, with

Lettie, proceed!"

Lettie, nervously twisting her curls
over her slender fingers, "perhaps L

best way would be not to say anything

Select Poetry.
AN ANCIENT TOAST.


1t was grand day, in the old chivalrlc time
the wine circllng around the board in noble
hall, and the sculptured wall rang with senti
ment and song. The lady of each knightly
heart was pledged by name, and many syla'
BILE significant of lovlness had been uttered
until 1t came to St. Leon's turn, when lifting
the sparkling cup on high;
s'I drink to one,' he said,
"Whose image never may depart,
Deep engraven on a grateful heart,
Till memory is dead.
To one whose love for me shall last
When lighter passions all have passed,
30 holy 'tis and true;
To one whose love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply fixed, more keenly felt,
Than any pledged by you"
Each guest upstarted at the word,
And laid a hand upon his sword,
With fery--flashing eye;
And Stanley said, We crave the name,
Proud knight, of this most peerless dame,
Whose love you count SO high"
st. Leon paused, as If he would
Not breathe her name in careless mood,
Thus lightly to another
Then bent his noble head as though,
To give the word the reverence due,
And gently said, " My Mother"

A Novel Way to Churn.

T THOUGHT that 1 had seen good
i many kinds of churns before I came to
Mexico = crank-churns, dasher-churns
and chemical -churns." But will now
describe mode of churning butter that
will, think, make New England folks
open their eyes.
Commonly they do not make much
butter in this country, and the settlers
here come to get along without it; but
by the time 1 had been at the "poesta''
two or three days, began to want some
butter on my bread.
NJ had q herd of twenty-five or
thirty cattle, which he kept for beef,
and among them were a number of milk
COWS. Ed. was hidden to set the milk
for twenty-four hours; and the next
morning M told Lizado, or "Liz,''
as we called him, to churn.
They had done such thing as to
churn butter before, it appears. Liz
went out and brought bag of rawhide,
about as large as common meal bag.
How clean it was inside, am sure L do
not know; but he turned the cream
into it, and poured in new milk enough
to make it two-thirds full and then he
tied it up with strong strip of hide.
M stood with broad grin on his
face. 1 was already too much astonish-
ed to make any remarks. Liz now
carried the bag out of doors, and then
got his horse. Taking his lasso off the
saddle, he made one end of it fast to the
cream bag; the other end, as usual,
being attached to ring in the saddle.
This done, he jumped on the horse
and tucked spurs to him. Away he
went, and at the first jerk that bag went
ten feet in the air, and fell with a
squauch, close up at the horses heels.
AT the next jerk it went higher still.
He soon went out of sight with the
bag dancing after him. Sometimes it
hit down alongside the horse, and some
times it struck slap on the animals
rump.
M was convulsed with laughter
at me, suppose; for 1 must confess
this upset all my previous ideas of butter
making.
In the course of twenty or thirty
minutes Liz came back, the horse look
ing pretty hot, and the bag very dusty.
"ES nldntica," Cutters GOMEZ, said
he.
Ed. united the churn and sure enough
there was good homely chunk of but
ter in it ; and it proved to be very decent
butter, too.
/ asked if that was the. way they
always churned. They said it was, and
Ed. declared it was ''a dale asier than
turnin' crank"
So respectfully submit the "method"
to all our good people up North. Every
thing need for it is a sole-leather bag,
clothes-line and horse.

affairs that no man has ever yet been

REV. JOHN JASPER, colored, who says
"de sun do move," still holds forth at

couple in church the other day, when
twowomen in the congregation, while
waiting for the bridal party to arrive,
got into fight over their sweetheart,
who was present, but did not know
which of the girls he loved best. The
two beauties got to fighting and the
crowd got excited. Somebody said the

New Jersey Run. Without Taxes.
Philadelphia Times,

Here comes another State which is
going to get along without taxation.
The coming report of the Comptroller
of New Jersey will show that the spe.
cial taxes on railroads and the funds
now invested, the interest of which ia
available, will afford sufficient income
to pay all the State expenses for the
coming year and leave a surplus, with
out any State tax. Governor Mcclellan
is expecting to put in his message a
recon- endation that 20 more State tax
be levied. Illinois expects to be living
exclusively on her railroads in a short
time, they having already largely re-
duced the State debt.

The New Vanderbilt Mansions.

The New York Times gives some par.
ticulars in regard to the four magnificent
dwellings which are to be erected in
that city within the next twelve months
by William H. Vanderbilt, and his sons.
Cornelius Vanderbilt and William K.
Vanderbilt. The aggregate cost of these
buildings will be not less than 81 $780,
600. BY far the most pretentious
and most costly edi6ce will be
that which Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt
has projected as his future home, the
estimated cost Of which will be $75O,OO
The style will be of the Elizabethan or
der, and to four stories will be added a
combination hip and Mansard roof,
ornamented with dormer windows. It
will front forty-nine feet, with depth
of 1875 feet. The heighth of the build
ing from the foundation to the most
elevated point Of the roof will be 1921
feet, not including from fourteen to
twenty feet of foundation. deliberately
cut and nodded granite and limestone
will constitute the materials of the front
walls, while the foundation walls will be
Of brick, laid in cement and mortar.
Mr.. William H. Vanderbilt will erect
two buildings-single and double fiat
rooted dwellings, the former being in
tended for one family and the latter for
two. A frontage of 1O3 5.12 feet and a
depth Of $50 feet form the proportions
Of the lots upon which both are built.
The material chosen for the outer walls
is Connecticut brown stone, and the
style of architecture, though modern,
will in somerespects resemble the Doric
and Corinthian. These houses are to be
four story, and, according to the esti-
mates of the builders, the cost of the
two buildings, exclusive of the price of
the lots, will be 100000 for the single
dwelling and $400, 900 for the double. AS
already stated in the Sun, Mr.. William
K. Vanderbi]t's dwelling will also be
very fine one. All of them are to be
on Fifth avenue. and will extend from
Fifty-Erst to Fifty-second street.
