A Gnnd-Natnred Eiant.

Sic Devil Granville, of Cornwall, who
nearly ruined his estate and sacrificed
his life for Charles l., had for his serv-
ing man giant. His lame was Anthony
Payne, and he measured, when shoe
less, seven feet and four inches. Though
gifted with giants strength, he did
not use it like giant, but like a good
natured fellow, for nature had put
good heart into his large body. The follow
ing anecdots illustrates the mans kindly
nature:
One Christmas eve, the fire languished
in the hall at Stowe. A boy with an ass
had been sent to the woods for logs, but
had loitered on his way.
Lady Grace Granville, the mistress,
lost her patience, and the gigantic An
tbOny went In quest Of the lazy lad.
Shortly after he re-entered the hall,
bearing on his back the ass loaded with
the wood. Throwing down his burden
at the hearth-side, he shouted:
6 Ass and fardel! ass and fardel for my
lady's yule!'
As Sir Bevil lode into Stratton one
day, he heard an uproar in the inn-yard
and told his giant to find out the cause
In few minutes Anthony came up to
his master, with man under each arm,
whom he had caught in the act of fight
ing.
Here are the kittens'' said the giant,
as he held them for his master to chas-
tise with his riding whip.
After the battle of Stamford Hill, the
giant was busy during the night, with
other soldiers, in burying the dead. Tren-
ches had been dug to holdthe bodies side
by side.
The soldiers bad laid nine corpses in
one trench, and Anthony was bringing
another, tucked under his arm. All at
once the supposed dead man began to
plead for his life.
Surely you won't bury me, Mr..
Payne, before | am dead %
'' tell thee. man" was the grim re
ply, our trench was dug for ten, and
there's nine in it already; thou must
take thy place"
=" But [ bean't dead, [ say" exclaimed
the man, kicking, to prove his assertion.
81 haven't done living yet, be marsy-
fol MIR. Payne; don't We hurrya poor fel.
low into the earth before his time"
Il won't hurry thee; thou canst die at
thy leisure"
But the giants purpose was kinder
than his speech. He carried the suppl
ant to his own cottage, where the nurs
ing of his wise brought him into health.
The mans descendants are among the
principal inhabitants of Stratton at this

EseIpfuI HousehouId Hints.

For ordinary woodwork, use whiting
to rub the dirt off, and ammonia.
CoPPERAs mixed with the whitewash
upon the cellar walls will keep vermin
away.
CEILINGS that have been smoked by
kerosene lamp should be washed eff with
soda water.
HELLFBoRE sprinkled on the floor at
night destroys cockroaches; they eat it
and are poisoned.
Coon fires should be kept up during
housekeeping time, even though the
doors and windows be kept open.
DRAIN pipes and all places that are
ssur or impure may be cleapsed with
lime water, copperas water or carbolic
acid.
A LITTLE cloride of lime dissolved in
warm water, and left in lamp or can
which has held kerosene, will deodorize
it very soon.
SALT literally sprinkled over carpet
before sweeping, will absorb the dust
and dirt, and bring out the colors as
fresh as new.
If stove polish is mixed with very
strong soap-suds the luster APP pears I'M
medlately, consequently there is less
dust to breathe and blacken.
PAPER and plaster are active absorb
ents, and when they become thoroughly
saturated with various etf1uvia, nothing
but entire renewal will cleanse them.
IF the wall about the stove has been
smoked by the stove, cover the black
patches with gum shelIac, and they will
not strike through either paint or calci-
mine.
CARPET should be thoroughly beaten
on the wrong side first, and then on the
right, after which spots may be removed
by the use of ox-gall or ammonia aud
water.
ONE way to clean the inside of pots
and pans is to fill them with water in
which a few ounces of washing soda is
dis solved, and set them on the fire. Let
the water boil until the inside of the pot
looks clean.
PAPERED walls are cleaned by being
wiped down with a flannel cloth tied
over broom or brush. Then cut off a
thick piece of stale bread with the crust
on, and rub them down with this. Be-
gin at the top and go straight down.
FURNITURE needs cleaning as much as
other woodwork. 1t may be washed
with warm soap suds. quickly wiped dry
and then rubbed dry with an oily cloth.
To polish it, rub with rotten stone and
sweet oil. Clean off the oil aud polish
with chamoIs skin.
THICK brown paper should be laid
under carpets if the patent lining is not
TO be had; it saves the wear of the fabric
and prevents the inroads of moths,
which, however, will seldom give
trouble if salt is sprinkled around the
edge when the carpet is laid.

"AlmOst HOme!"

lfFOln texas SlItlugs.J
The old man had gone to the Argent
Mountains of New Mexico, seven years
ago, in search of that which had so per-
sistently eyaded his grasp ''from his
youth up. Though an industrious and
honest toller in the humber walks of
life, it seemed, he said, that "'twas not
intended that he should ever be one of
the lucky ones" Alas, my old brother,
how few of earth's toiliDg millions are
intended to be lucky ones.
Eyes, yes! that is trle; too true?" he
said. Gotten have l fondIy dreamed of
luxurious affluence-as often awakened
to find it but dream. Hard and unceas-
ingly as have labored for those that are
dearer TO me than life itself, scarcely
have | been able to give them the ordi-
nary comforts of life. Toll, anxiety and
disease have nearly finished their work,
but am almost home. The train will
reach L Station, where get off, early
tomorrow morning. My wife will be sad
I expect she will weep-when she sees
how emaciated 1 am. She will hardly
recognize this wreck of my former self.
L will, for her sake, try to suppress my
cough, somewhat. My boy and girl, too,
will be grieved to see their father thus
so frail, so weak; yet it is a great Joy to
be almost home; a greater, to be at
home"
The old miner sank back, apparently
exhausted. His breathing was short and
heavy. AS night wore on, he seemed to
rest more easily. In the early and chilly
dawn, the train stopped at l. Sta
ton. I crossed the aisle to wake the
silent sleeper. He did not need my
kindly services. He replied not to what
| said. His train of life had stopped,
too. and he was at homel

FARM. GARDEN AND HOME.
The Awakening.

BY CHARLES l. HILDRETH.
A spirit from .he south through drifted elens
And Ger the naked woods and wilds has flown:
shipped from their leashes in the mountain dens
With deep and hollow voice the streams rush
down,
Searching the level fields and sunken fens,
and round soft, sodden banks and hillocks bare
Whirling in turbid circles everywhere
The spongy soil sinks weltering 20 the foot
And still thin, dusky streaks of crusted snow
In cold shades hnger on the hemlock's root:
But all the open lawns and meadows glow
With faint warm fame of many tender shoot;
The hazel stems are bright with FURNISHED green,
And usset-hooded buds spring up between
The plains are fIll of mingled mist and light:
Clou5-shadows cross the hills with sudden show
ers;
The dawn in frosty calm breaks cold and white
Ripening to golden bloom at MONDAY hours:
Shr1l winds and winter hurries blur the night
And in the glimpses of the rifted skies
The young moons slender crescent CLEANS and
dies.

THE FOREST STREAM.
BY GEORGE AMBROSE pExS1sos.
Far in The depth Of tbe forest

Far in the depth of the forest
Nanders the fairest of waters.
Songs of the woodland it murmurs,
Caught from the wind i'll the branches,
From the deep chant Of the pine trees,
From the light voice of the naples,
Songs OF melodious warblers,
Cries of swift birds in their passage,
Flying above in the darkness
Unto the great sleeping water;
Calls of the conquering eagle,
Vanishing notes of the wood-doye,
Love tones of shy, furry creatures
All arc absorbed, and commingled
In the sweet song of the water.
Branches bend down from above it,
Sweep it with gentle caresses,
On the great boulders, the MOSES
CLEAN with an emerald brightness,
Shine with the spray drops they gather
Where the stream losses and tumbles.
Happy the days when l follow
Gentle and sweet singing water,
Led as child by the streamlet,
Through the dim aisles Of the forest,
There | behold the new wonders.
See the rare beauty it gathers
Unto itself, as it dances
Through the great heart Of the woodland.
Softly 1t gurgles and murmurs
Out of its lnnermost currents,
Singing the wonderful secrets
Learned in the bosom of nature.
Where the streaI4 pauses and widens
Into pool, with the margin
Rising abruptly above it,
Guarded in silent seclusion
by the great trees, with their branches
Spreading and crossing in shadow.
There do | oftentimes finger,
Gazing down into the water.
In the clear depths / discover
Borders of grasses and blossoms,
Masses of sheltering branches,
And, percAance, cleaning below them,
Far below branches and tree-tops.
Greets me the azure Of heaven.
Happy, 0 child of the forest,
Happy your life in the wildwood!
Nature, your brown-breasted mother,
Lovingly close to her bosom
Holds you, and while the deep midnight
Filings the white starlight upon you,
While the bright blaze of the noontide
Lightens your face through the shadows.
Closer she holds you, and softly
Whispers unknowable secrets.

Steam Supplanting Sail.

From the New York Mail and Express
To the old-fashioned tar it must be q
melancholy fact that steam is rapidly
taking the place of sail power, especially
IN the grain export trade, and that before
long there will be no sailing vessels ex-
cept coastIng schOoners and pleasure
yachts. Three years ago sailing vessels
took out from this port over 63, 600, 900
bushels of gain, steamers only 80, 900, 900.
In 1881 the exports for sail were -, 600, :
900 bushels, while those by steam were
"a, 100000. Owing TO short crops last
year the exports 10y sail fell to 5000, 600
bushels, and those by steam to about
1000, 900; but the figures for this year,
while they will doutless show an increase
in the total exports, will emphasize the
fact that the days of the merchantman
and the clipper are well-nigh over.
