they will not listen to any unless it i sssimon pure'' Republicanism. Our policy in the near future-as soon as Congress adjourns-will be to employ every avail ble Congressman, and also those who are in any way able to speak in public to stump the country, and continue this until we have again turned public sentiment in our favor. This will require much money, but even if it does, it must be done no matter how much. If it comes to the worst, we can soon get up war with England. We have sufficient cause now and can at any time force a war. The monied men of England, at least goodly number, are in accord with us on that line for they also are having serious fight with the lower classes, and the way out of this whole muddle is wAR--to kill off this discontented and troublesome horde both in England and here. War will give us pretext for all we want, and the poor fools will be only too glad to kill each other off.

 This was certainly intelligibIe enough. Probably Mrs. Morgan did not know when she wrote this note that in | withdrawing her patronage from the l young girl she was depriving her of three-fourths of her income. So it was, however, and it was with deep sink ing of the heart that Margaret Tremaine read tke four lines recorded above. Margaret, as of course the reader will understand, was music teacher. l She had been reared in afauence, but l the sudden failure of her father, and ] his almost immediate death, had 1 thrown her upon her own resources for l support She had brother two years older, who had gone to California in search of employment It was in the early days of the history of that State. Communication with the interior parts of the Pacific State was not as fre- quent as at present. and she had re- ceived only occasional letters. Thus far he had not met with great success in digging gold.
 Through the influence of Margarefs friends she had obtained several music scholars at once, enough to defray her expenses, moderate as they had now become. Sheshad taken an attic room in Mrs. Prescott's boarding-house, and had thus far been able to meet her weekly bills.
 But this period of comparative pros | a,s&r n.~~ family in which she had several scholars went abroad, and these were, of course, lost to her Another pupil twas sent to a boarding-schoo1. Thus her income was reduced one-half And now, to crown all, Mrs. Morgan with drew her patronage, and the young girl was left with almost no income at all i. What to do she did not know.
 She might advertise for pupils, but would she get them? Besides she could not spare the money which the adver- ltisement would cost. With feeling of dismay she saw uttsr destit tn tiou staring her in the face.
 It was at this moment that g knock was heard at the door,

 'tYes, miss, If you please"
 'tVery well; say that will come down immediately"
 Before chronicling the interview about to take place. it may be necessary to say that Mrs. Prescott was a widow with an only daughter, not remarkable for good looks. This young lady had for several months enjoyed the atten- tions of a young man wAb was popularly supposed to be engaged to her. But to the great indignation of the landlady and her daughter, the young man. Colton by name, had recently shown some indications Of transferring his attentions to Miss Trematne. That young lady was quite innocent of en- souraging him, but nevertheless was

 It was with view to this that Mar garet was now summoned to the parlor. Although she had noticed the increas- iag coo1ness of Mrs. and Miss Prescott. she did not suspect the cause.
 As the time for giving lesson to her sole remaining pupil was near at hand. she went down with her bonnet on-

THE
Cure for Gapes.

Having seen many inquiries in agri-
cultural papers for o remedy for gapes
in chickens, and some remedies consist
ing of dangerous drugs, that often
prove fatal, I will, with your permission,
give practical poultry raisers u practical,
economical and safe cure.
Gapes are caused by a little red and
white worm, some of them On inch long,
in the windpipe. l shall not attempt to
give them the Latin name or guess how
they get there. Our object is to get them
out.
In the morning I catch all the gapey
chicks. / then take a blue grass straw,
strip the seed off, Having the sprangles
about half IN inch long, then with the
fingers bend them back toward the
larger end of the straw to make it enter
more readily, and mash the point be-
girl takes the chick firmly in their left
hand, sets it on their knees. and with
their right takes it by the top of the
head and stretches it well up. The
operator then takes a pin and places
back of the tongue and draws the wind
pipe up, placing his left thumb firmly
on the pin, he twists the straw we'll
down the windpipe and continues to
twist rs he draws it out. If he should
tail to bring any of the worms, and SEQ
the chick sneezes loosely let it go, it
will expel them itself as you have loos-
,ened their hold.
Any practical man or woman will see
the idea at once and soon get to like it
and look forward to the time to relieve
the little sufferers. Grass should be
gathered in the summer and hung up
for use in the early spring before it
heads out.
This is certainly the correct theory. 1
never failed to cure yet, and I have
always thought an instrument could be
made of steele or silver that would be
far better than the straw, and if an en-
terprising editor or Yankee bad it, it
would make o nice premium for o paper
and the Yankee would make o fortune
out of it. It should be about the size of
q crochet hook, with small hooks turn
ing.a little up and the point a little to
the right as it would be twisted to the
right.-Cor. Farm, Field and Stock

1t is strange that men, whose business
it is to make bread and sell it, produce
goods that are a distressing failure, says
q writer in Good Housekeeping. A car
penter will build o house and do it we'll,
q printer will give the eye a feast, and
the mechanic will construct a perfect
engine; but when man becomes q baker,
his mission is to aflict every one who
cannot have domestic bread.
The slow-minded baker at last put out
the sign Of homemade bread, and
| some Boston bakers now have home
made cake" The cakes are made by
women at home, who prefer this work to
sewing and other possible occupations
that bring in a little money.
What feelings and remembrances arise
as one passes by these homemade"
articles! He wonders if that cookY will
taste as his mothers did-the ones that
he always found in a certain place on
the third shelf from the top. How good
they tasted! When he left his game of
ball, or an ardent play upon tho ice, and
turned homeward, what expectations of
the moment that should find his hands
full of those cookies. and his hungry
palate delighted with their taste! No
once could make them as his mother
did. The neighbors' boys discovered
this, and came in for the gift of one rs
occasion allowed.
Then the boys from the boarding
school near by, who used to play with
him, had some relief from their meagre
fare, as they took refuge in his house
on o rainy day to make kites, and
munched those cookies. There was
only one neighbor who rivaled his
mother, and her boy, his playmate,
always seemed to havethe odor of fresh
baked cookies in his clothing.
There is nothing like the "home-
made" bread and cake, and bakers may
find the words o taking label, but at the
best only o counterfeit.

THE HOUSEHOLD.


Ice Spells the freshness, irmness and

naturally cool. Where fish is preserved
on ice it appears that the ice only favors
putrefaction by furnishing a constant
supply of moisture, carrying with it the
putrefactive bacteria derived from its
foul and tlthy surroundings, SO that
this iced fish remains covered with fresh
solutions of filth pregnant with putre-
factive bacteria. Thus large quantities
