Exchange.

In 1864, several Union and Confed- crate wounded soldiers lay in farm- house in the Shenandoah valley. Mrs. B., the mother of one of the south- men, rode ten miles every day to see her boy, bringing such little comforts as she could. Her house was burned, the plantation in ruins, trampled down by the army. One day she carried him some beef tea. Every drop was precious; for it was difficult to pro- cure the beef from which it was made.
 As she sat watching her boy sip the steaming, savory broth, her eye caught the eager, hungry look of man on the next cot. He was Yankee, per- haps one of the very band who had burned her home. She was bitter Secessionist. But she was also noble hearted Christian woman. Her eve stole back to the pale, sunken face, and she thought, "Poor, fellow, if he were my boy, and my Joe some other mothers son. He shall have a taste. {"
 After moments pause, and with pressed lips, for it required all the moral force she could command, she filled bowl with the broth, and put it to his lips. Then she brought fresh water, and bathed the soldiers face and hands as gently ad been her son. The | uay, when she re- turned, he was gone, having been ex- changed to the north.
 Last winter the son of senator from 8 northern state brought home with him during the Christmas vacation a young engineer from Virginia. He was the only living son of Mrs. B., the boy whom she had nursed having been killed during the last year of the war.
 She had struggled for years to edu- cate this boy as civil engineer, and had done it. But, without influence, he could not obtain position, and was supporting himself at this time by copying.
 Senator - inquired into his qual- ifications, and finding them good, soon after secured his appointment on the staff of engineers employed to con- struct an important railway. The senator enclosed with the appointment a letter to Mrs. B. reminding her of the farm- house on the Shenandoah, and adding, "I was the wounded man to whom you gave the bowl of broth"

pocket of begging letter-writer, of persons easily induced to give money to those who pleaded in distress, was found the name of Charles Dickens, in company with that of an equally kindly disposed, but more wealthy, charitable person, the Baroness Bur- dett Coutts. His own account of how he had been victimized by the artful tales of systematic impostors he re- lated, in his own inimitable way, in a number of Household Words.
 It may not be amiss here to remark, with reference to "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," the novel on which Dickens was at work when he died, the concluding words of the last num- Der are "Comes to an end-for the time"
 When these words were written Edwin Brood" was having an inde- pendent issue in America, and it is somewhat remarkable that the last words in the part issued there should have run:
 "There! there! there! Get to bed, poor man, and cease to jabberi With that he extinguished his light, pulled up the bed-clothes around him, and with another sigh shut out the world. D
 It is interesting to note the well nigh prophetic meaning and mournful significance these words have when read in "the light of after events"

On Monday, September 24th, the great dramatic event of the Chicago season will occur, when Booth and Barrett will re-appear at the Chicago opera-house. They will open with "Julius Cesar" and play the piece for one week. It will be mounted upon 8 most elaborate scale, and will intro- duce number of novel effects. The second week will be devoted to a grand production of "The Merchant ot Ven- ice" This will be given during the entire week, and the third and last week will be devoted to the revival of "Othello," upon scale of magnifcence that has never been equaled upon the western stage. The sale of seats for the entire three weeks will begin on Tuesday, September 18th. The prices will range as formerly, from S2.5O to 50 cents. All orders will be promptly attended to at the box-office of the theatre.

Sunday, September 18th, inaugu- rated, at the Chicago opera house, the second week of the side-splitting farce comedy, "Natural Gas." The piece has been played at that theatre two weeks, and has crowded the theatre to the doors nightly with an audience whose laughter testified to the humor- ous qualities of the piece. The con- pany is even stronger than that which was seen in the piece last year, and the piece itself has been % materially al- tered for the better that the humor is continuous from ths rise of the cur tain until its fAll.

HOW TO Oct A CINDER OUT OF

with cinder or any foreign sub
stance In the eye will instantly
begin to rub the eye with one

They may, and sometimes do, re-
move the offending cinder, but
more frequently they rub till the
eye becomes inaamed, oind a
handkerchief around the head. and
60 to bed. This is all wrong.
The better way IS not to rub the

rub the other eye az vigorously as

COTTON PLANTING.

This is work that many farm
crs think should be done sin a
hurry and with the smallest ex-
pen1ature Of labor. 1t Is all very
well to perform a given job in
good style with the least labor,
but it is we'll to consider that by
iaking little more time and ex-
pending a little more labor and
care at planting, much future
work may be saved. The first
requisite to securing a good stand
and subseq ;ent COOL yield Is god,
sound, carefully-selected planting
seed of an improved kind of cot
ton. There is no great difference
IN the produc iveness of the diff
fsrent varieties offered for sale.
Their chief general merit consists
IN and depends upon the fact that
the seed have been selected with
more or less care for q number of
years. Farmers often plant seed
that appear to be sound and "all
right" but on account of imper-
feet development or partial heat
ing, 1t is found that the vitality
of many of the germs is either
originally defec.ive,or 1t has becn
impaired. The result is II poor
stan ] of feeble, diving plants.
Secure seed of goad selection,
even If no more than enough to
plant a small fed from which to
save seed next fall, aud test the
vitality of any that may be doubi-
ful by planting early few hauds-
full In warm, sunny exposure in
the garden or in a hot-bed. If
sound an good ninelY rer cent.
of them should make vigorous,
healtay plants.
The cxpediency of planting in
hills or checks depends ON the
qualify of the seed, tho fixed and
uniform pro iuctiyeness OF the
Individual plants, and the natural
or added fertility of the soil. The
sery largest yields on small areas
have generally been from plant
ing and cultlvating in hills from
seed that were alefully selected
with reference to symmetrical de-
velopment and productIveness
BY this careful selection the plants
have become indiyidualized, So
that the single stalk that may be-
lett in hill may be counted on
To make large yield-ihe max
imum that may be reasonably ex-
pectcd from the area apprapri:l-
Ted to its use. Tho hill system
requires not more than one-ioarth
as many seed, which, therefore,
may Ds the more select and cost.
Iy; 1t requires more labor in the
planting, but less ia the subIequent
culture.
1t is admitted that greater cart
in the planting and early csltiva-
ton will be necessary In order tC
secure aud maintlin a perfec
stand, but 1t is very probable tha
such increased care Will be NOR,
