Cyrus W. Fields Pluck.

The boy, Cyrus w. Field, was NOT
studious or meditative-not languid OK
dreamy. He didn't want to go to college.
He was active, shrewd, cunning, COM

H.. I....t i.is little body had to be sup
ported in frame, in which he managed
to roll himself around the room; but he
recovered, and then he made up for the
time he had lost, in preternatural activity
and vivacity. When he was fifteen he
went to New York and entered A. I.
Stewards store as clerk. Six years Of
this was enough for him. When he was
twenty-one he set up as paper manu-
facturer. He had not learned the trade,
he had no experience in it, and he had
no capital, but he had pluck and restless
industry, and he succeeded.
Cyrus W. Field had boyish theory
that $3.50, 900 was enough for any man,
and so he registered various VOWS in yari-
GUS places that when he had made that
he would absolutely retire from business.
When he was thirty three he had reached
the prescribed goal, and he said to his
friends: "Now, behold how virtuous q

subscribed SO, 900 to it, then $40, 900,

Peter Cooper, Marshall o. Roberts and
Moses Taylor each as much more, merely
to get the cable to New Foundland.
Then he raised S., ,000, 600 in England for
the Atlantic cable. The cable broke in
mid ocean, carrying all his fortune with
it, and he came home and went into the
paper business again. He made another
fortune and put it at once into the inn

were deserting sick at heart. In 1865
the cable broke again. Still he persist

The Red Deer.

To see the red deer to perfection, with
all his instincts sharpened and his keen
sense of danger qulckened by the lonely
existence which he leads on the noun
tains, the sportsman must visit the high
lands Much of their wild country is
reserved for Devastating; vast moors
leading up to high ranges of mountains,
intersected by streams and "correls,"
1.-THE sheltered grassy valleys by streams
and often bordered by deep lochs, are
wholly given over to the red deer. A
strict supervision is exercised over these
immense tracts of land by good staff Of
keepers; strangers and visitors are dis
couraged; sheep are kept away; every
precaution is taken that the deer may
not be disturbed by the presence of many
people, and by noise, shouting and the
like. For if disturbed frequently, the.
deer may, and often do, desert whole
stretch of country for neighboring
march, where their tastes are more care
fully consulted Miles of fencing, oc-
casional lodges, and a distant peep at
deer on the skyline beyond, are all that
ordinary travellers see of most of the
Scotch deer forests. In others, especially
in the extreme north of the country, the
lessees are more liberal, and the public
may pass through at will on certain
leading tracks. In this case the deer
may often be seen at no great distance,
they are remarkably sensible animals, and
soon know when man is to be feared OF
merely tolerated. Few more beautiful
sights can be discerned in these northern
deer forests than the behavior of the little
herds which run sportively along the
hills, or browse on the underwood, while
some grand-headed stag, or the presence
Of few hinds, with their fawns, lends
additional interest to the charms of wild
moorland and mountain scenery. Some
times the deer condescend to mix with
ordinary red and black cattle of the
country; but they cannot abide sheep
any more than horses care to be near
camels. We remember fine stag which
evening after evening used to come down
to the grassy end of Loch Assynt, where
the river Loanan runs into it at a place
known appropriately enough as Inchna-
damph (the cattle meadow.) The boys
and gillies of the neighboring hamlet
amused themselves with stalking it, each
one trying to get nearer 1t undiscovered
than his friend. This was very fearless

be seen of the peculiar habits and in

Summary Matchmaking.

A farmer from Germantown, Pa,
came yesterday to Castle Garden in
search of young married couple to
take into his service. His rG4me was
Amos Miller, and he was of y Jolly and
benevolent temperament. He.Vas will
ing to give S25 month and board to
a man and his wife who would accom-
pany him home. Unfortunately there
happened at the time to be no married
couples at the Garden who were de-
sirous of obtaining such a situation as
he offered. Not to be discouraged, how
ever, he set about finding two single
young persons of opposite sex who
might not be averse to uniting their
lives and their luck. He first accosted
a number of men, who looked like
honest, amiable fellows, and among
them discovered one whose fancy was
taken by the picture which he held up
to him of a cozy, rustic home and a
good-natured young wife to keep it, all
to be acquired by a single and very SIM
pie transaction. This negotiation set.
tied, he sought for a damsel to match
the willing swain, and it was not long
before he succeeded in obtaining from
such one her shy consent to change
her social condition. He Immediately
brought the future husband and wife
together in spite of their sudden con-
fusion and assumed reluctance. Once
presented to each other, they found no
difficulty whatever in making an ac-
quaintance, through the medium of
their native tongue, the German. She
was Rosida Haeffner, 10 years of age,
and he was Adam Horner, 25. The
Rev. Mr.. Berkemeier was summoned
and in the employment Office he united
them by the time-honored tie that man
is solemnly forbidden to sunder. A
matron and an officer attached to the
Department of Emigration served as
bridesmaid and best man. The couple
embraced with hearty satisfaction and
went away leaving smiling faces behind
them.-N. Y. Herald.

THE SONG OF THE SCHOOL GIRL.

With heavy and acning head
v 18th weary but sleepless brain,
A SC lool girl sat in her room at night,
And thus gave voice to her pain:
It's study by dav and by night,
And it's study by night and by day,
Till n blur comes over my sight,
And my brain seems 0ozinR away.
The studies are piled so high
That the weight is breaking me down;
/ wish hal wings, and could fly
Away from the school and the town.
It's study an study at school,
And it's study and study up here,
And shudder beneath the rule
That awaits the failure fear.
All day and all night is my head
With figures and fncts oppressed,
And at last when crawl into bed
They haunt me and rob me of rest
It's oh, for a romp and a run,
A game with q hoop or a bani
And it 5 oh, to be out in the sun,
Away from percentage and ALL
Perhaps may marry some day,
If 1 ever get through with my life,
And what will my husband say
To nervous and fidgety wifer
It's study by day and by night,
And it's study by night and by day.
oh, surely IL cannot be right
To study and never to play.

AT Rockingham, N. c., recently,
Mrs. Gay heard a sound resembling the
bursting of a gun-cap in an adjoining
room, and looking in the room was
astonished to see blaze of fire ascend
ing from the floor near where two
children were seated. The blaze
apparently assembled to the roof and
went out. About an hour later Mrs.
Gay returned to the d;ning-room, when
ball of fire nearly as large as child's
head came in the direction of her and
seemed to strike her in the breast, then
burst in three or more streams of fire,
the fire quickly going out. Mrs. Gay
was considerably stunned, and it was
several hours before she recovered from
the shock.

Canning and EyapOrating.

The peach season is nearing its end.
Some orchards closed out last week,
many others will this, and the last of
next week will find them all gone ex-
cept in very fewcases. The peculiar
ity of the season has made it one of
very great success for the amount of
fruit handled, but those in the curing
business have not realized their exPec-
tations because of the fruit ruling be-
yond their prices. Nevertheless a con-
siderable amount has been put up and
that of very superior quality. John
III. Hoffecker has canned as many as
last year, but is not up in evaporated
fruit. He is running force of about
1875 hands and will go Immediately

Frost.

The weather the past week has been
decidedly cold and frost reported on
several mornings but it was very light,
or the heat radiated from the dry
ground dissipatcd its effects. Yester-
day the Erery Erening telegraphed to
all parts of the Peninsula to learn if
any had fallen and what had been
its effects. The answer was in some
cases none, and in all, none to damage.
In this we arc more fortunate than
in the states north and west of us. In
Minnesota and Dakota ice formed as
thick as a dinner plate, and i'll most of
the states north of us all late crops
such as buckwheat, potatoes, cucum-
bers, cranberries, SC. were greatly
damaged. Two counties in New
York alone estimate their loss at
100000. The heaviest loss was the
damage to the growing corn. The loss
in cucumbers alone at Milwaukee, Wis.
was estimated at $4,000, The loss by
the frost in some states is estimated al
from 10 to so per cent. The crops
were late because of the cool, dry
weather that has prevailed for weeks
