The Bellies stratagem.

From the Detroit Free Press. p -1
Young Spoonogle never knows when
to leave when he calls IN a young lady.
He likes the sound of his own voice so
we'll that he talks on and on, while the
poor girl grows light-headed with the
tax on her strength, and wishes the
mantelpiece Of Elijah would fall on the
tiresome caller.
There is a young lady on Lafayette
avenue who made up her mind to give
Spoonogle a lesson, So, last Sunday
night, when he called, she was as cor.
dial as possible up to eleven o'clock.
Then, having had four-yolume history
of Spoonogle's life, with an extended
account of his influence in politics and
business, she began to get dizzy and
have aringing in her ears. AT that mo.
ment her young brother rushed into the
room and said "Pa wants the morning
paper, Sisp
Look in the vestibule, Willie" she
answered, gently. II think I heard
the boy leaving them some hours ago.
Spoonogle never took the hint, but
drawled on about the roller skating
rink, and what a figure he cut on skates.
The next interruption was from the
head of the hc..se, who entered briskly
rubbing his hands.
Good morning-good morning." h<
said cheerily. "Ha! Spoonogle, you're
out early, Well, early BIRDS etc. It's
going to be a fine day, from present up.
~pearances."
Spoonogle was dazed, but concluded
the old man had been drinking, and sa.
back with a"come one, come all, this
rock shall fly from its firm base as soon
MS yours truly" air that was decided
and convincing.
A half hour passed and the mothe,
hurried in.
Dear me, Tn late" she said as she
entered. II smelled the coffee an hour
ago and knew breakfast was waiting,
bnt.oh! Good morning, Mr.. Spoon
ogle!"
Then the sweet youth took the hint,
and, drawing himself together, he got
out into the hall and opened the.front
door just as the hired girl rung a bell
and the small boy yelled Breakfast
owe the balusters.

The Author Of my Maryland"

James r. Randall, the gentle author
Of that fiery war song, Maryland, Ny
Maryland, " is one Of the most delight
full men in Washington. You find it
dificultto believe that this quiet, liberal,
broad-minded man wrote that narrow,
passionate appeal. He was very young,
however. He is young still, but wiser
and broader. He has come to that
point where he is willing to admit that
that disagreeahle characterization,

simply put in for sake o fthe rhyme. He
would not write such o song now. Yet
he copies the old song again and again
in responsible requests that come from
the four corners Of the earth. I saw a
true copy Of it yesterday. 1t is rarely
printed correctly. 1t is generally man
gled in quotation. and it is always multi
atad in the newspapers. I hear that

and half a hundred other lyrics in o

Ietin writes: aRev. s. w. Hanks, a

while he vas travelling through Yer

vance that Lincoln was on the train
At n station he was urged to step on

One Meal a Day.
From the Newcastle Eng.) Chronicle.

FROM the NEWCASTLE ttuS.1 chronicle.
DR.. George Fordyce, the anatomist
and chemical lecturer, was accustomed
to dine every day, for more than twenty
years, at Dolly's chop-house, in Queens
Head Passage, P~aternoster row. His
researches in comparative anatomy had
led him to conclude that man., through
custom, eats oftener than nature re-
quires, n meal day being sufficient
for that noble animal the lion. He
made the experiment on himself at
his favorite dining-house, and finding ii
successful he continued the following
regimen for the above term ofyears: AT
4 o'clock, his accustomed dinner hour,
he entered Dolly's chop-house and took
his seat at n table always reserved for
him, on which were instantly placed a
silver tankard full of strong ale,
a bottle cf port wine and a
measure containing a quarter
Of o pint of brandy. The moment the
waiter announced him the cook put a
pound and a half of rump steak on the
gridiron, and en- the table some delicate
trife, as bonnie bouche, to serve until
steak was ready. This delicacy was
sOulceimc5 Aai1 U ulOllciA CulchSu SOlue-
times a plate Of fish. When he had eat
en- this he took q glass ofhis brandy, and
then proceeded to devour his steak. We
say d%evour, for he always ate as rapidly
as if eating fer q wager. When he had
finished his meat he took the remainder
of his brandy, having during his dinner
drank the tankard of ale and afterward
drank the bottle Of port. The doctor
then adjourned to the Chapter coffee
house in Paternoster row, and stayed
while he slipped q glass of brandy and
water. 1t vas then his habit take an
other at the London coffee house and q
third at the Oxford, after which he re-
turned to his house in Essex street,
where he gave his lectures on chemistry.
He made no other meal till his return
next day at 4 o'clock at Dolly's.

xhs Art q Telling.

Some people seem personally fitted
for effective story -telling. George Hem
~ Lewes was nj such. Those who
were familiar with him have often re-
marked the ~viyacious sparkle Of the eye,
the peculiarly telling action of Che
hands, and the se~lf-possession with
which he would fascinate a cornwall
party. Anthony Trollope it was, if we
are not mistaken, who once said that the
very clothes he wore seemed somehow
to contribute to the effect of his good
stories-his velvet coat, and his neat
slippers, and the rest OF it, all worn
with that air of easy unconsciousness
we'll calculated to enhance the points of
his narrative. That Inconsistencies,
by the way, is a great matter in personal
narrative. There are some who
are prevented from ever telling a
story we'll by their anxiety to do
SO. They appear to be as
much concerned for themselves as
for the success of their tale. Their own
manner and choice of language and the
impression they are making on their au-
ditors, are plainly distracting their wits
and diverting a great part of their pow
er. A good story-teller will always be
found TO be one who is himself too deep
in his own enjoyment and ~asnreciation
of his tale to be ut all conscious of any
thing pertaining to himss1. He enters
into the thing too fully aud too entirely
to be concerned with the criticisms
which may be passing upon his person
al appearance, or language or manner
Anything like timidity or nervousness,
or circumstances is fatal to that
freedom of manner which is always a
principal charm of really successful
tale-tellers, and in all such narratives
as obseryant travellers have to tell upon
their return home. A ready flow of
language Isl of course, essential to success
in this line. Nothing is more unpleas-
ant than to have to listen to long nara
tiyes which seem continually on the
point of breaking down for want of
words, or which are told in words that
continually prompt the listener to in
terruption and criticism which polite
ness, nevertheless forbids. A pleasant
voice, 700, is q great point, though not
BY any means invariably indispensable.
There are times as every one must have
observed, when some harsh incongruity
of voice adds immensely to the effects
OF a story just in the same way as the
personal appearance of q narrator may
greatly influence its success. Lewes
wal generally allowed to be anything
but a handsome man, and it was in
great easur what some would call
did call, in fact-his very uglinesa

Tightening woman,s suraeu.,

Alady writes to the Rural New Yorker;
One house-keeper after another sug-
gest ways and means for Tightening
burdens in their profession, but in my
view there is nothing that helps more in
a small family than sending the washing
and ironing out Of the house. Having
tried it for three years, and having had
it done in the house for over twenty
years, I f~eelqualifed to give an opinion.
[ believe it could be done much oftener
than it is, if people would but think so.
Almost every community has its poor
widow, or stout washer with small
means, who, for the additional spending
money, would gladly undertake the task,
Many times, too, such a household
would take pay in produce which
q farmers grounds could spare and
never miss. But oh, the difference to
the farmers wife! One day Just like
the other. No especially hard days all
through the week. In the busy season
one does not get rested from the hard
wash-day by Saturday night.
I always respecteda milkman because
he brought down to the village every
Monday his great basket full of clothes
to be washed, and left it with a colored
family where he sold milk. He said
that washing was too hard for the
women folks in harvest time" So he
made this trade with one of his custom
ers. It worked we'll both ways, for it
kept a row of little black faces fat and
shining, to have for once plenty of milk
to so with their bread, and it almost
saved the life of a burdened mother.
do agree with writer on domestic
economy, once quite popular here and
in England, who says that" where wash
ing is done in the house, it is a misery
from morning till night" She referred
to a hired washer-woman, who came by
the day. The one mitigation is where
there is Astounding health and strength
in the family to take up the work with
system, and where the best Of facilities
are at hand, and thus carry it through
with dispatch, and have done with it.
Washing clothes is one of the disagree
able necessities of our civilized life, and
one that breaks down feeble women very
fast. The one drawback to our enjoy
ment at the sight Of adrawer-full of
freshly laundried clothes is the sad fact
that they will SO soon go into the big
basket again.

Worms in Ho9s.

What is a good remedy for worms
in hogs?
ANs.-Hogs are infested with various
kinds of worms; and the treatment for
each is a trife different. The round
worm is usually of the size of a small
goose-quill, and six or seven inches
long, of q brownish color, and some
what corrugated. As a remedy give
one-third of a teaspoonful of santonin
morning and evening for two or three
days, following with a brief catharic,
such as calomel, in teaspoonful doses.
Two other kinds of worms infest the
lower bowels or large intestines neal
the anus, and may frequently be seen
coming from the animal. Ono is a
white, slender worm about three inches
long, andas thick as a knitting-needle ;
the other a little white worm shaped
like a tadpole, and half or three-quar-
tiers of an inch long. For these give a
tablespoonful and a half of Barbados
aloes, with II tablespoonful of cop
peras each morning for a week. Acapi-
tai treatment for swine troubled with
worms is to mix wood-ashes or soap-suds
with their Stops and feed once a week.
Ofcourse doses of all medicins should be
made smaller for young pigs than for
mature hogs.
To Young Ladies.
In marrying, make your own match.
Do not marryany one to get rid of them.
The man who would go to destruction
without you, would quite likely go with
you, and drag you along, also. Dc
not marry in haste, lest you repent at
your leisure. Do not marry for
home and a living, when by burning up
your orsets, and rolling up you + sleeves
aud taking care of your health, YOU can
be strong enough to earn your own liv-
ing, and provide n home for yourself
Do not let aunts or fathers, or mothers,
sell you for money or position, in bond
age, tears, or lifelong misery, which
you alone must endure. Do not place
yourself in the company of any sutton
till you have decided the question OF
marriage; human wills are weak, and
people often become bewildered, and do
not know their error till it's toe
late. Get away from their in
%fiuence, settle your head, and make
up your mind alone. A promise may
be made in an hour of half delicious
ecstacy, which must be redeemed
through years of sorrow, toll and pain.
Do nottrust your happiness in the keep
ing of one who has no heart, no head
no health. Do not look too high, un
less you wish a companion who will
despise you. Beware of insane blood
unless you wish children that will fill
your life with sorrow, and chose their
own with suicide. Donot marry hastily,
contrary to the wishes Of parents, guar.
dams and friends; you may refuse TIC
marry a ttheir bidding, but you have nc
right to rush into welded life against
their counsel. Wait-a few months
may make you thank heaven for their
restraint and their care. Love can wait
that which cannot wait is something OF
q very different character. Do not ina.
CINE that because two persons are mis-.
cradle when apart they will be happy
together. The opposite is mora usually
true. The ''happy" is in the heart.
Those who are happy when separated
will be happier when united.-Home
