Sweeping Carpets.

The art OF sweeping a carpet well is
one requiring a good deal of practice and
skill. Many never learn it properly. 1t
is done i'll three different ways. First, by
those who draw or thrust broom over
it, raise much dust, and leave more than
half the dirt behind to be ground into the
fibre by careless feet. Secondly, by those
who sweep clean. but who drive the broom

eating clouds of dust. Thirdly, and
rightly, by drawing, not pushing the
broom. making short and rather quick
strokes, ana taking special care not to
give an upward flourish at the end OF
each. Give i rather light touch, and not

less carpet is very dirty, neither tea

the dust. They often soil the carpet by
forming minute portions of mud; and if
the broom becomes moist, it dctaces the
base board unless carefully used. Donot
begin at one side Of the room and sweep
the dirt over and otcruntil il reaches the
other side, but take up on a dust pan all
the heavy portions as soon as swept up

Mrs. Julius Browns husband, says the
San Francisco Post, was one of the pas
sengers on the State of California during
its last trip, in which it was detained four
days over time. Mrs. b. bore her anxiety
with commcndable fortitudc until the
third day. She was taking lunch with
some friends ut a restaurant, where the
waiter helped her to some shrimp salad
in glass that contained small portion
of whiskey. She had only eaten a few
mouthfuls when she burst into tears
"What's the matter, Mrs. Brown ~
said the company with much surprise.
"Why," sobbed the woman, ''m-m-
my worst fears are realized. know that
poor Julius has been drowned. Just taste
these shrimps."
And as there was no denying that they
tasted exactly like old Brown, the widow
was conducted home. She had just de-
cided that she would look exceedingly
we'll in black when the steamer arrived.

Com fur the Cows.

BY EUGENE j. HALL.
The western skies were all aglow
With clouds O red an gray.
The crickets in the grassy fields
We're chirpin' merrily,
When up the lane an DER the hill
saw maiden roam,
Who went her way at close o day
70 call the cattle home:
Co-boss SEQ boss
Co boSs-co boss
Come home-come- home
The echo O her charmn voice
Rcsounded thro the vale
1t fingered on the eyeniI' air,
1t iloated on the gale;
Twas borne along the mountain side.
1t dritted thro' the glen;
1t died away among the hills,
Far from the haunts O men;
Co-boss-co boss
Co-boss-co- boss
Come home-come home
Her face was flushed with hue o health
Her arms and feet were bare
She had lith an active form
\ wealth o ebon hair.
Beyond the hills she passed from sight,
Ez sinks a tallin' star
Until her voice was family heard
Still calling from atar
Co-boss- o-boss
Co boss-cO boss !
Come home come home
Soon DER the distant knoll appeared
The cattle red an brown.
An from the pastur' to the lame
Came gayly trottn down
With sparkln eyes and cheeks aglow
Returned the maiden gay,
Who waved her arms and shouted low

A Marine Velocipede

Mr. Robert Fryer, Of New York, has in
vented a new ocean steamer. The yes
vel will be a kind of marine velocipede
on three Wheels her hull not being in
tended to touch the water. The steamer
has not yet been begun, but Mr. Fryer
has completed small model Of her at
McCrea's yard The vessel floats on
three spheres made Of sheet steel, one
forward and two astern. Each Of these
is united with tlanges, which surround
nearly the whole OF its circumference and
act as paddles. The spheres are SO ar
ranged that they can be worked back
ward and forward or one worked back
ward and the others forward simultane-
ously, 50 that the vessel may be turned
completely around in cher own water"
as sailors put it. With such power of
rapid turning, no rudder will be necessary.
The upper works are to rest upon the
spheres that are to do the propelling, and
will be as light as consistent with strength.
There are to be three decks, and the
staterooms are to be in the after part Of
the vessel, between the wheels on the sec
ond and third decks. The dining groom
is to be Oh the third deck. The boat is
to be 30 feet long and l3O deep. Her
three sphere or paddle wheels are to be
60 feet in diameter each Is inches. Mr..
Fryer says he expects to beat the best
ocean time two days, and declares that
his vessel will be both safe and comfort
able. Arrangements are making for the
building of the vessel

A Bad Outlook for New England.

| 1t is stated that the centre Of pOpula-
ton moves westward at the rate of nine
ty feet a day, and is slowly passing across
| the southern portion of Ohio. 1t is evi-
dent, therefore, that the ''gorgeous East
to which the West has hitherto looked
for its literature and lucre, its pedagogues
and pills, its capital and culture, is fast
| losing its grip, and if it were to be sunk
out OF existence tomorrow, or raised out
OF sight Ill its own estimation, the West
would merely pause to say tra-la, and
keep right on with its work. The loss
OF thirteen Congressman to the East, and
gain OF nineteen to the West, by the re-
cent census, shows where the crowd is
rushing, and in ten years the East will be
taken under the wing of the West, and
the West will see that no harm comes to
It, We leel sorry for the East. 1t has
always done as we'll as it knew how, and
| there has never been time when it
would not sell us goods and Yankee no
TONS and take it out in wheat, OF loan
money on a farm at ten per cent. If its
| people generally can not yet regard the
West as anything but 4 bowling wilder
ness where the Indian and the wild bison
roam at will, instead of 4 land possessing
the retinemGnts of enlightened civilization,
why then it is their misfortune and not
their fault. No Gmnity Can ever come
between the two sections, for very many
OF the wealthy farmers of the West, who
own broad and fertile acres, will never
forget that thei. early manhood WAS
passed amid the steep and rocky hillsides
of the East, where corn was planted with
| lnt Il Il jol,I lIi,,
washed out by rains couple Of times,
grew and tlourished to the height OF two
and even three feet, With an ear on most
every stalk. No one who is worthy the
name OF Il man ever tOrgets the scenes Of
his boyhood. But the cotton factories Of
the East are passing to the South and
| Southwest, where they will be nearer
| the source of the raw material the pub
| llcatiOn OF books, which nobody ever
supposed could he done anywhere except
in the East, has suddenly been begun in
the West and S2,OOO, 900 worth were eX-
ecuted with neatness and dispatch in one

lustrated papers, rejecting the culture,
humor, and police dOings Of the country
still hold their own, but their time will
come. Eastern pills, which have drained
50 much money from the West and built
so many palaces in the Fast, vet have 4
grip upon the affections of our people,
but their influence is weakening, and pad
factories are sprnging up and manhood
is being restored right here in the West
by western firms ear factories are com
ing nearer to Western iron and wood
every day; our Touring mills which al
ready make flour enough for paste, are
increasing in number and capacity, and
the woods are full Of saw mills; we shall
need Eastern oil and coal a little longer
until way is found to decomposc water
and then we shall have no favors to ask,
and the East must not recognize Us when

AT FAULT.
Any one who lived near the kcnneDec
during the last war with great Britain,
cannot fail to remember the excitement
and anxiety of the inhabitants of kenne
bee and Lincoln counties, when the river
was blockaded by the British. In many
of the towns on the banks Of the river
towns which owed much of their means
of sustenance to their maritime trade
the people were for some time actually
Strengthened for want of food, as nothing
could be brought up the river from any
of the seaport towns on the coast. At
one time dollars worth of flour was
often carried in /; small pocket handker
chief while the children of comparatively
opulent families were even forced to pick
from heaps of cast-otf' vegetables, frozen
potatoes which were placed upon the
Goals and eaten even before the frost was
wholly overcome Some forty or fifty
trading vessels were lying idle in the
river and at length, the blockade be
came 50 serious that actual starvation
peeped coldly in at some of the poorer
families.
Among the coasters which were thus
cut Oft from their trading, was clipper
schooner, owned and commanded by Capt.
John Wait, which had dropped down
from IIalloWell, and hauled up at one of
the wharves in Bath Capt Wait was
loaded for Ipswich, Mass, and his family
were suffering from his forced state Of in
activity.
"AIr. Springer" said Wait to his mate,
one bright morning, as they stood upon
