A Ride i'm a Hearse.

The story told in Levers "Charles O'Mslley," of O'Malley's uncle evading his creditors by being conveyed away from Dublin in Q hearse, had its foun- dation in fact. MT. Martin, "of Gal way" as he was commonly called, was the hero of the real story. The famine years completed the ruin of the Martin estates, and the last male owner left a daughter, "the Princess of Connemara,' who emigrated to this country and died at the old Union Place Hotel in New York. The estates, about 200, 900 acres, passed by foreclosure into the hands of an unknown company, which sold them to London brewer, who owns them to-day, and probably finds them huge white elephant. They never returned a rent above $4O,O year, as much of the land is bog and mountain.

A Husbands Preparations.

The other morning when Detroiter seated his wife in car on the Michigan Central to make the journey to Chicago alone he took look around him and said to her:
 "Now, love, if you should want the window raised, here are dozen gentle men who will break their necks to &C., commodate you"
 "Yes, dear,"
 eff you feel lon nesome and want some body to talk with about affairs in Egypt, Noah's ark or the ice period, don't hesitate to call upon any of these gen tlemen."
 "I understand
 "You won't know enough to leave the car at noon and get your dinner, and you had better ask some of them to accompany you. If they offer to pay for your meal don t be squeamish about it."
 "Of course not"
 "You may want to read to pass away time. If so, any of these gentlemen will be only too happy to purchase you half bushel of the latest books and magazines. Be careful to save 'em for me to read when you. get home"
 "I'll be certain, love-"
 ''And you can say to them that we have been married four years; we do not live happily together; am do- mestic tyrant; you have strong thoughts of procuring divorce; you feel that you could love the right sort of a hus- band; you like oranges and peanuts; you are innocent and confding; you have never travelled; you are afraid of getting lost in Chicago, and you will be ever so much obliged to any one who will get you hack, see to your trunk, and pay all the expenses. Goodbye, love-"
 "Good-bye, dart.''
 And wasn't it strange that not one single man in that car even spoke to that lady in ride of three hundred miles ?-Detroit Free Press.

A Profitable Walnut Forest.

In Carpenteria, about half way be- tween Santa Barbara and Buenaventura, California, there is veritable walnut forest, and its income is beginning to be fabulous. Every year the trees are maturing, and are more heavily laden with nuts. The trees are set forty feet apart, and those that are bearing give a net average profit of BIO per annum. Many of them will produce $2O worth of marketable walnuts this season. They begin bearing at seven years, and improve each year until they are three or four centuries old. Little care is re- quired in their cultivation, they are har- vested with trifing expense, and ready market IS always to be found at reason able figures.

PITCHER OR JUG :?

Which, in the heat of the noon-tide sun, Which, when the work ofsday is done, Refrashes most the weary one, Pitcher or jug? Which makes strong to cradle the grain, Which heaps high the highest train, Which gives muscle and heart and brain,
 Pitcher or jug? Which sows kindness over the soil Lighting the heavy hours of toll With friendly words that never roil,
 Pitcher or jug2 The pitcher, filled from the bubbling spring,
 Playing and spraying,
 Curling and whirling. Over the pebbles, under the hill It cools the brow and steadies the brain, Makes the faint one strong again; For its daily task it nerves the arm. And lends Co labor borrowed charm. 1t IS step on the road to wealth. Many step on the way to health 1t lightens home with cheerful glow. And banishes from it useless woe. It smiles in the children's winsome ways. And leaves no sting in the holidays. So in all the best things a man will be richer. If he gives up the jug and drinks from the pitcher.

THE LIME.KILN CLUB.
A Little Chapter on Jealousy-The
 Women Folks
From the Detroit Free Press


 "What was gwine to remark" be- gan the old man, as he took an undis- solved troche from his mouth and put it on corner of his desk, "was to de effect dat it am none of our bizness what our nayburs do, onless dey frow stones at our dog or toss deir oyster cans ober our fences. One great cause of so much unhappiness arises from de fack dat sartin people want to know all about sartin odder people. Frinstance, Deacon Turner's wife runs ober to my house an tells ny wife dat Elder Dork- CTS wife has got new bonnet dat neber cost less dan $12. De Elder am workin' on straight salary of $8 per week, an he has wife an fo' chill'en. How kin he save up SIP on slch salary as dat? How did his wife git dat bonnet? An what cheek fur poo woman who can't set table for seben nor ride on de street kyar once a week to fam out in dat manner De wimin sot dar' an talk an wonder an git mad an want ter pull ha'r, an I slip out an go to pullin' weeds in de garden. It's nobody's biz ness how she got dat bonnet, an yit some folks feel sick bekase dey can't find out.
 "My ole woman goes down town to buy three towels wid a red bo'der, 8 spool of No. 60 white thread, an half yard of linen to make me some cuffs. She am as pleasant as June mawnin' when she starts out, but when she re- turns dar am 8 hull cyclone in her left eye. She pens me up in co'ner an demands to know how de gals who stan behind de sto' counters fur three, fo' an five dollars week kin pay bod an washin' an dress in silks an satins. I can't tell, an de less I know bout it de madder she gifts; an bime-by dar cums climax en- somebody gifts hurt. If gal kin make fo' dollars week go fur der dan I kin make twenty, dat's none O my bizness or yo' bizness.
 ''De odder day my ole woman cum home from Jedge Blanks an said dat de Jedge's hired gal had gin 'em notice dat she was about to go to de kentry on Fher annual six weeks vacation. Mrs. Gardner was hoppin' mad, but was as cool as a red-hot crowbar. Why should not hired gal want to go to de kentry an have rest from breakin' dishes an kickin' tinwar' aroun' de kitchen ? It improves her complexshun, braces up her form. shapes her feet, an often re- suits in her marvin a millionaire. If de Jedge an his family can't afford to go, dat's muffin to do wid de servant.

Old Pastures for Cows and Sheep.

Do not blow up good old pasture. Years since have said great deal ill favor of permanent grass, and now having experienced the benefit of hundred acres for dairy purposes, and witnessed the advantages of many hun dreds of acres to my neighbors, it is more evident than ever that pastures thoroughly established with native grasses are best for the quality of the butter, for the grazing at all seasons of the year, and on account of the.le injury sustained by the trampliEg and grazing early and late in the year or at any time in open weather in the winter when it may be convenient.
 Last Christmas my COWS and flock of Southdowns were picking over the punches of grass left uneaten during the latter part of summer and autumn, and every day, wet or dry, they went from about a. m. till p. m., in mild weather, and from 10 till 2 when cold or stormy, and excepting on very bad days they seemed to enjoy the range as we'll as to relish their shelter and food in the barn all the better for the fresh air and exercise.
 A gentleman from Michigan came around on-a showery day in December, and was exceedingly surprised to see the sheep out in the rain, saying his neighbors there never allowed their sheep to get wet. I told him the sheep in En gland in general way were never sheltered from rain, and there was nc injury sustained, and that can be said here where there is no coddling. The winter of last year was very severe, but our sheep went out every day, and mol one lost any wool, although they were shorn late, and all were in perfect health, whereas neighbors' sheep which had been confined all the time had tc be shorn earlier, as they were losing wool, and besides a number dled iron a wasting away, while no ailment O any kind attacked ours.-.Couaatr2 Gentleman.

Covered with Politics.

The Philadelphia Tunes says There is unquestionably more politics to the square foot in the State of Maine to-day than in any other State in the Union, not even excepting Pennsylvania. Already five political State conventions have been held, and a call has been issued for the sixth; five full State tickets are in the feid, and probably another will be added to them. They are labeled respectively, in the order of their appearance, Straight Greenback, Temperance, Regular or Fusion Green back, Republican and Democratic, with the dissatisfied temperance men yet to be heard from.
