A FANCY FROM FoNTANELLE.

[Austin Dobson.
The rose in the garden slipped her bud,
And she laughed in the pride of her youthful
blood,
As she thought OF the gardener standing
by
'He is old-so old! And he soon will die"
The full rose waxed in the warm June air,
And she spread, and spread, till her heart
lay bare;
And she laughed once more as she heard his
tread
"He is older now He will soon be- dead"
But the breeze of the morning blew and
found
That the leaves of the blown rose strewed
the ground;
And he came at noon, the gardener old,
And he raked them softly under the mold.
And wove the thing to random rhyme;
For the rosa is beauty, the gardener time.

Aristocracy in the Old South.

If wealth is measured by net in
come, there never was much wealth
in the South. The very nature of the
property forbade consuming its
own production. But if the number
of slaves is taken as the standard OF
wealth, then where there was one man
owning 500 there were $4,000 who did
not own 100, and in that ratio, clear
on through the negro population, still
leaving thousands owning none.
Be that as it may, wealth was not
the standard of the best society. II
there was any undertaking rule it was
family lineage, even while the best old
families possessed the large proportion
of the aggregate wealth though to no
large extent individually. In other
words, family lineage, when supple
mented by dignity and good conduct,
was always passport into the best
society, whether with or without pro-
perty, while those without this lin
cage were never excluded who pos
sessed other qualifications. There
were but few formalities of any sort,
and social intercourse was at all
times natural ana easy. This is a
simple and true statment of facts, yet
they have been loaded down with
every possible caricature.-Afrs. F'aL

Must Re Enforced.

Abraham Stockton, who, during
many years. lived in the southern part
of Arkansaw, was, in honor to his
great learning and also to the fact that
he had once killed a mad dog, elected
justice of the peace. The people were
very anxious to see a case taken be-
fore the old man, for every man knew
that Stockton's opinion would be one
which the supreme court could not re-
verse. The opportunity came. A man
named Eckford sued Mr.. Chelsey.
The litigation grew out of dispute
concerning the ownership of lot of
sheep. A jury was empaneled, the
evidence was taken and the lawyers
made their speeches. The verdict of
the jury declared that the sheep should
be equally divided. Before discharg-
ing the jury, the magistrate said:
Gentlemen, you've did your duty,
but you ain t made no provisions fur
the cost in this thing. The constitu
ton of the United States says that
when jurymen make SIGH a oversight,
the Judge shall take the matter into
his own hands. Gentlemen, I'll charge
you two dollars a piece. Ihave heard
heap O. people talk about the Judges
charge to the jury, an reckon some
O. you will talk about this one, but if
you say anything outen the way, Ill
whale the whole kit and bilin' O. yer"
''Your honor" said lawyer, s'you
can It make the jury pay
Cant [? Wall, now it's funny ii
we don't. They don't git bite to eat
till the things settled. Boys. git
your pops an keep your eyes on the
jury. The laws of this state have got
to be enforced. ''-Arka7asaw Traveler.

CAUTIONS IN TAKING STIMULANrs.

/. Never take stimula4ts III moments
of extreme exhaustion. That is pre-
cisely the time and state when there is
especial peril of discharging the last re-
mains of energy and leaving the nervous
centres too exhausted and pOwerless
to recuperate. There is in nervous
action, as in mechanical motion, a
dead point at which inertia becomes
imminent. 2 Never take more of the
stimulant than will suffice to stir the ener-
gies gently. If you want tC incite horse
to action you must not whip him more
than will suffice to rouse him. If more
than this be done strength will be ex-
hausted by irritation. 3. Never forget
that stimulants are eXcitants, and only
when they excite to recuperation-i, e.,
to the formation of new reserves OF
Strengths we'll as to the consumption
of the strength in hand, can they be use

use of stimulants for the alienation OF

followed by depression of spirits, "

THE TAILOliS DiD NOT LIKE IT.

In1767 FCote had pro uced Il burlesque
the author Of which hls never been dis
covered, entitled - la Iail1rs: Ira
gedy for Warm Weather." DOwton
announced the revival of this piece for
his benefit. AS the title implies, it was
a satire upon the sartorial craft, and
upon the bills being issued an indig-
nation meeting was convened among the
knights of the needle, who vowed to op-
pose the performance by might and
main. Menacing letters were sent to
Dowton telling him that II 600 tailors
would attend to hiss the piece, and one
who signed himself "Death" added that
10000 more could be found if necessary.
These threats were laughed at by the
actors but when night came it was dis
covered that the craft were in earnest,
and that, with few exceptions, they had
contrived to secure every seat in the
house, whilea mob without still squeezed
for admission. The moment Dowton
appeared upon the stage there rose a
hideous uproar, and some one threw a
pair of shears at him. Not a word would
the rioters listen to, nor woald they ac-
cept any compromise in the way OF
changing the piece. Within hOwled and
hissed without iDtermission hundreds OF
exasperated tailors outside howled and
beloved thousands of raging tailors who
attempted to storm the house. SO for.
midable did the riot wax that a magis-
trate had to be sent for and special con
stables called out, but these were help
less against over whelming odds, so {
troop of Life Guards was ultimately
summoned, who after making 16 prison
ers put the rest to flight.

AMMONIA.

Among the recent discoveries in
science and chemistry, none is more
important than the uses to which COM
mon ammonia can be properly put as a
leavening agent, and which indicate
that this familiar salt is hereafter to per-
form an active part in the preparation Of
our daily food
The carbonate of ammonia is an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place a
small portion of it upoI a knife and
hold over a flame, and it will almost i'm
mediately be entirely developed into
gas and pass off into the air The gas
thus formed is simple compos .tion of
nitrogen and hydrogen. No residue is
left from the ammonia. This gives it
its superiority as a leavening power
over soda and cream of tartar usei alone,
and has induced its use as a supplement
to these articles. A small quantity of
ammonia in the dough is effective in
producing bread that will be lighter,
sweeter, and more wholesome than that
risen by any other leavening agent.
When it is acted upon by the heat OF
baking the leavening gas that raises the
dough is liberated. In this act it raises
itself up, as it we're; the ammonia If
entirely diffused, leaving no trace Oh
residium whatever. The light, fluffy,
faky appearance, so desirable in biscuits
L.. L l. e..
cooks, is said to be imported to then
only by the use of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder manu-
facturers producing the finest goOdf
have been quick to avail themselves o
this useful discovery, and the hand

The silver Lining.
There 3 never a day so sunny
But a little cloud appears
There's never a life SO happy

There 4 never a day so sunny
But little cloud appears
There's never a life SO happy
But has had its time Of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brlghteg
When tho stormy tempest clears.
There's never a garden growing
With roses in every plot
Thore's never a heart so hardened
But it has one tender spot;
Wehave only toprune the border
To find the forget-me-not.
There's never a cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet
There's never path so rugged
That bears not the prints Of feet
And we have a helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never a sun that rises
But we know twill set at night;
The tints that gleam in the morning
At evening are just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
Is between the dark and light.
There's never dream that's happy
But the waking makes us sad;
There's never a dream of sorrow
But the waking makes us glad:
We shall look some day with wonder
At the troEbles we have had.

DEAD LETTERs.-By present post
office arrangements letter with a two
cent stamp upon it may follow the
person to whom it is addressed all over
the United States. If man expecting
letter changes his residence, or goes
on a journey, he has only to request
that the letter be forwarded to the new
direction. Or, if a writer is not sure
that his correspondent is where the let
ter is directed to he may endorse on
the letter his own address, with a re-
quest for a return of the letter if not
called for. These liberal arrange
ments are in the interest of letter wri
ters; but are also devised to relieve
the Dead Letter Office, at Washington.
1t is easier and less expensive to di-
vide the work among the whole army
of pOstmasters, than to require that
the letters misdirected or uncalled for
shall be opened, read and disposed of
by the Dead clerks in Washington.
1t is said that about fifteen thousand
letters day are now returned to the
