And the next day Lulu felt so much bet
ter that she drove to the Gypsy encamp-
ment with her father, but the wanderers
had departed, and when they returned to
the neighborhood five years later, Lulu was
Mrs. Fred Delaney and had little boy
whom they had named Carl, after the chief,
who with his son had come to Sanford Hill
to visit them.
The Gypsy boy had grown into hand

nearly white, and look of settled melan-
choly rested in his eye.
When asked by Lulu and her husband
about Viola, he said in q low, stern voice.
"She is dead, lady, our tribe sentenced
her to die by her own hand, and, being q

Does Farming Pay?

An impression, somewhat general, seems
to prevail that farming is not as profitable
as other vacations; that more money can be
earned in almost any other vocation with
less labor, hence the farmers son abandons
the farm, where he is a success, for the
more uncertain gains of town.
This impression, says an Iowa writer, is
very far from the truth. Take the farmers
in every county of Iowa; most of them COM
menced life poor; if they have strictly ad-
hered to legitimate farming and avoided
speculation, in most cases they are well sit.
uated, and are far more comfortable than an
equal number of associates who chose the
town. Facts sustain us in the assertion that
out of 100 young men, who leave the country
for the town or city, not more than one be-
comes wealthy; perhaps one-tenth obtain a
competency, and nine-tenths barely make a
living. Out of 100 young men who remain
upon the farm, possibly not one becomes
wealthy, but more than 80 per cent have
substantial possessions and good houses,
while most of the remainder make good
living and rear respectable families The
point to be impressed is far more likely to
succeed on the farm than in town; not be-
cause he actually makes more money. One
thing that has allured many from the farm
is society, and schools may be added. In
these particulars marked difference can be
observed within few years to the credit of
the country. Farm houses and surround
ings are more beautiful; the sons are men
of culture, and the daughters are accom-
plished in the elegant as we'll as the useful.
Society in the country is no longer rude; if
it lacks some. of the grace of the city it is
more than compensated by solid acquire
ments and an honest welcome, characteris-
tic of a high bred people. The turning
point has undoubtedly been passed, and the
future great men of this nation will be farm

WHY They DO Not Marry,

A we'll known society man was asked the
other day why, with his wide acquaintance,
and his notable fendness for womanhood,
he did not get married? because" was the
rather puzzling reply, "all my lady friends
belong to what is styled our best society"
'Well what of that?" "Just this, my dear
fellow" answered the confirmed bachelor,
IT despise any man who would marry a
woman for her fortune; and I think that
any man who, without bonanza of his own,
would undertake to support fashionable
young woman of the period, is to big fool
to be allowed to run at large outside Of an
idiot asylum. have vast circle Of FEM
mime acquaintances. They are all girls in
fashionable society, luxuriously reared, pet
ted, spoiled, indolent, and helpless. I
should consider an income Of from twenty
five to fifty thousand dollars year absolute
" indispensable to any essay at playing the
husband to one of them. haven't such a
sum about my trousers pockets, and SO I
stay unmarried. I know have in me the
material to make some old lady model
son-in law, but fear it is destined to be
sweetness wasted on the desert air of batch
elorhood. Our society girls are beautiful,
bright, possessed of many respectable ac-
complishments, and altogether more attrac-
tive than the young women of any other
land beneath the skies; but they are inn
practical and selfish, and do not care to
set myself up as moral reformer even in
the case Of one Of them. They have been
taught to worship money as their chief god,
and have not enough Of their god to de-
mand their alteration.

Jim Webster and the Chickens.

There was a powerful revival the other

nacle, and among those who experienced a
change of heart was Jim Webster. Yester-

One of the most interesting objects Offer
ed to the public inspection at the Sydney
International Exhibition was DWELLING
house exclusively made Of paper, and fur
nished throughout with articles manufac-
tured from the same material. Walls, roof,
Aoorings and stair cases alike consisted of
cartonpierre; the carpets and curtains, bed
steads, lamps, sheets, and counterpanes,
towels, bootjacks, baths, kitchen utensils,
etc., were one and all preparations Of papier-
mache, as were the very stoves used fol-
heating the rooms, in which large fires were
kept burning daily throughout the duration
Of the exhibition. Several banquets were
given in the paper house by its owners to
the Commissioners, members of the press,
and foreigners of distinction. Should these
paper buildings come into vogue they may
be expected to superinduce some striking

The characteristics of Various Kinds of Floor
Coverings.
From an Exchange
French moquette and English brussels are
the best carpets to wear and give the great
est satisfaction. Aubusson, Administer
and Turkey are equally good, but their
price is of course high. Tapestry brussels
is not as desirable as good three-ply or an
ingram, because when the gay figures wear
off there is nothing left but hemp, which is
far worse than an all-wool ingram of good
quality. A poor "slimpsy" carpet is not
worth the making and putting down, ex-
ceptin rooms that are only kept for visitors
and used on rare occasions; and even then
a handsome Chinese mating is to be pre-
ferred. And in choosing the mating the
best quality is the cheapest in the end, for
one that cost sixty to seventy five cents
per yard is far more desirable than one that
can be had for 35 or 40 cents. Of course
the expense at first is higher, but then we
must consider the expense of making and
putting down; and bear in mind that after
two years wear the more expensive carpet
ing is often of more value than the cheaper
one when first laid upon the floor. Again.

Now do not take the cheap one.. For year
it may look well, but by the next Au-
tumn it is worn and shabby. while the ex-
pensive one is as good as the day it was
laid down, and it will out last three OF
the cheap patterns. Sometimes we can
come across bargains and buy carpets
of excellent quality at a low price, but
unless we are experienced shoppers il

ing to the depth of the purse. The mos
durable carpets are closely woven and thick
yet soft and pliable; and in real English
brussels the colors can be distinguished
on the wrong side, but in the tapestry
there is nothing but hemp. The beauty o.
carpet is quite as important as its dura
bility. and it should be of kind that vii
not tire the eyes. Most of us purchase
carpet hoping that it will last several years
and desiring it to be appropriate for all sea
sons. Now, the gorgeous designs that fiji

Adirondack Murray.
Hartford Times Boston Letter.

Mister w. FL. FL. Murray is reported to
have sailed again for Europe. His recent
lectures here netted him about q thousand
dollars. He intends never to enter the pull
pit again, and when here emphatically re-
marked to friend that he had dropped the
prefix of Reverend to his name forever.
Murray has found fast friend and helper
in wealthy produce Spectator, who has
fallen victim to one of his gorgeous bust
ness schemes which promise SO much, but
always seem to lack the one little element
that assures success. It is this confding
believer who furnishes the wherewithal for
the ex-preachers protracted stays abroad.
He is to remain away two years this time,
attending to the establishment of his bust
ness enterprise and to the studying up Of
the English civil service and free-trade
principles, after which he will return to
this country torevolutionize American ideas
of these two great reforms. He is as san
guine and enthusiastic as ever. AS lee
turer Murray was disappointing. His great
hold upon the public was that OF popular
preacher; and this hold was an immense one
Had he remained with the Park Street
Church and behaved himself, he would to-
day have been the great leader of liberal
Congregational thought in New England.
1t was not clerical jealousy that destroyed
him, as he claims, but his own want of sin
cerity and a lack of moral stamina.
Sir Philip Sidney: Among the best men
are diversities of opinion; which are no
more, in true reason, to breed hatred, than
one that loves black should be angry with
him that is clothed in white; for thoughts
are the very apparel of the mind.
