The Lump in His Side

A man long noted for incorporate habits, was
induced by Rev. John Abbott to sign the pledge in
his own way, which he did in these words II pledge
myself to drink no more Intoxicating drinks for
one year Few believed he could keep it, but
near the end of the year he again appeared at a
temperance meeting without once touching drop.
Are you not going TO sign again 4 asked Mr.. Alb
bott. "Ies, replied he, ''if | can do it my own
way" and accordingly he wrote II sign this
pledge for nine hundred and ninety nine years and
if live to that time, | intend to take out life
lease" few days after he called upon the To. =.
ern keeper, who welcomed him back to his old
haunt "Oh landlord, said he, as if in pain, II
have such a lump on my left side" That's be
cause you stopped drinking said the landlord you
won't live long if you keep on ''Wil drink take
the lump away 7" Yes, and if you don't you'll
soon have lump on the other side. Come, let's
drink together" And he poured out two glasses
of whiskey Il guess won't drink SAID the for
mer lnebrlate, especially if keeping tie pledge
will produce another lump, for it isn't very hard to
bear after ALL and with this he drew the lump,
roll OF greenbacks, from his side pocket and walk
ed off, leaving the landlord to his own reflections.

Gathering and Storing Apples.

In gathering apples from trees to store
away for winter use, provide yourself with
strong, light ladder, some two feet wide
at the bottom and tapering to point at
tOp-the TWO ends to be beveled together
and pinned-this style of ladder being
much more easy to handle and place
among the top branches Of a tree, than
the ones commonly used, and not so much
danger of knocking off the fruit. \ half
bushel basket made Of white oak splints,
with a single handle extending from side
to side, and strong hook fastened there
to to hang up by on the limbs, answers
the purpose best In picking, take hold
Of the apple and 10y a gentle twist of the
hand it will separate readily from the tree
and still retain its stem. 1t should be
gently laid mot carelessly thrown) in the
basket, the contents of which, when full,
should be carefully emptied upon table
fixed for the purpose, the same to be
covered with a blanket or quilt to pre-
vent bruising. This table should be
about SIX feet long and three wide, and
have a strip about two inches wide nail
ed all around the edges to keep the ap-
pies from rolling off
l u0 0ooul tItl9 anu packing llldN HOW
commence, in doing which it is better to
make three grades of apples-the one of
perfect fruit, another of rather inferior
quality, and the third of such as are fit
only for cider or to be fed to the stock.
In placing the first two sorts in barrels,
lay single course on the bottom stems
downward, and so proceed until the bar
rel is full, except that the last course
should be placed with stems upward, tax
ing care to shake the barrel well, a time
or two, during the process Of filling. Too
much care cannot be taken in the above
respects, tor upon the c2reful observance
OF them all success in the production OF
flrst-cass fruit depends, and without
which man had better sell his fruit for
what he can get rather than attempt to
keep 1t for better market OrmOre salts
factory prices.
The barrels so filled, may then be
headed up and set away in some cool
place until the approach Of winter, when
they should be placed in a cellar, the
temperature of which is never so cold as
to freeze.
If one wishes to put up Il few barrels
of choice apples for sale, their preserva-
ton is not only greatly enhanced by wrap
ping each apple in paper as a further Sc
curity against bruising in case of trans
portatlon, but it gives them more attrac-
tive appearance on being opened. Bal

Governor and Council.

The Eastern Argus and Boston Globe print de
spatches from Augusta containing repetition of
their old game of Misrepresentation of relations
between Governor Plaisted and the Council They
state that the Council, at its meeting on the Goth
ult., acknowledged the ilegality of their session
of Aug. 10th, by advising the Governor TO draw his
warrant for $4,000 in favor of the Reform School,
etc
The simple facts are At the last meeting the
Council advised the Governor to draw his warrant
for $1,000, being the balance OF the $4,000 appro-
priated by the legislature for the Reform School
At the $50 called meeting of the 18th of August
they authorized him to draw his warrant for $4,000
of the $1,000 and also so 600 in favor of the State
Treasurer and have not receded from their position
that the Aug. 18th session was legal They did
not report their authorization for either the $4,000
or the so 600 given on Aug 18th. All they did
was to advise the warrant for the $4,000 on which
no action had on Aug. 18th At their last
session they proceeded entirely upon the ground
that the former meeting was legal
As to the fling that the Governor cayaliery in
formed the Council that when he wished their ser
vi ces he would inform them, it is as dishonorablc
and untrue as the above statements. After mutual
and courteous consultation it was agreed between
the Governor and Council that in the uncertainty
which exists as to when business would require
session, it should be left for the Governor and
Council to determine when it would be advisable
for the Governor to call session. Governor
Plasted, himself should be the first to retute the
untrue and discourteous implications of the Globe
and Argus. Augusta Journal

The Sunrise Never Failed Us Yet

BY CELIA THAXTER.
Upon the sadness of the sea,
The sunset broods regretfully;
From the far, lonely spaces, slow
Withdraws the wistfull afterglow
So out of life the splendor dies;
So darken all the happy skies
SO gathers twilight cold and stern,
But overhead the planets burn.
And up the east another day
Shall chase the bitter dark away
What though our eyes with tears be wet
The sunrise never failed US yet.
The blush of dawn may yet restore
Our light and hope and Joy once more;
Sad soul, take comfort, nor forget
That sunrise never failed US yet
