Brown On Human Nature.

Brown, don't see how il il
that your girls all marry off as soor
as they &c: old enough, while non,
of mine can marry
ooh, that's simple enough.
marry my girls Off on the buck
wheat straw principle.
But what is that principle?
have never heard of it before
Well, used to rais,. good deal
OF buckwheat, and it puzzled me to
know how to get rid Of the straw.
Nothing wotald eat il. and il vas $
great bother TO me. At last
thought Of plan.
Il stacked my buekwheat straw
nicely and built high rail fence
around it.
my cattle, of course, concluded
that it was something good, and at
once tore down the fence and began
to eat the straw.
Il drove them away and put up
the fence a few times, but the more
| drove them away the more an.
xious they became to eat the straw.
after this had been repeated a
few times, the cattle determined to
eat the straw, and eat it they did,
every bit of it.
AS | said, l marry my girls off
on the same principle.
when a young man don't like
begins calling on my girls l en-
courage him in every way l can.
Il tell him TO come as often and
stay as late as he pleases, and l take
pains to hint to the girls that /
think they'd better set their caps
for him. 1t works first-rate.
'He doesn't make many calls for
the girls treat him as coolly as they
can.
But when young fellow that
like comes around-a man that
think would suit me for a son-in-
law don't let him make rnany
calls before | give him to under
stand that he isn't wanted around
my house.
Il tell the girls, too, that they
should not have anything to do with
him. and give them orders never to
speak to him again.
The plan works first-rats. The
young folks begin to pity each other,
and the next thing ! know they are
engaged.
when see that they are deter
mined to marry | always give in,
and pretend to make the best of it.
That's the way manage it.

The COUNTRY EDITOR.-The
country editor must be unceasing
in his efforts to secure news and ex-
tend the circulation of his paper :
and he will find he will be more
successful il in public matters he
voices only the sentiments of the
people and keeps his own opinion
to himself. In small towns, where
much jealousy exists and his con-
stituency is limited it is not safe
fer him to take sides in personal
matters, as can the editors Of city
papers. lie should endeayor to
give all the news and, at the same
time speak as well of all persons as
possible and when it is impossible
to speak well of one, it 10 better to
say nothing, but give the bare facts
in the case. 1t is much better to
make a friend than an enemy.
Every man no matter how degraded
has some friends /; and il he offends
a person, the influence of that per-
son and his friends will be against
his paper TO the injury Of bis bus
iness. II people have battles to
fight, let them fight them out them
selves. Every statement made in
the paper must be well weighed,
and the editor should know that 10
is positively correct /; but having

Two children hoped ont OF bed,

by the thunder, come into their
mothers room, all scared: mother

there you are. No danger OF them

back before the storm is over and
unlock the closet door again and
skip, and that is all about it.

Genius and eastrunomy.


to stimulate Imagination Oysters,
Holsters, etc, this is a difficul,
question to answer. Men of genius
have tried q great many things,
each going his own way. German.

famous composer. whose one weak
ness was his great liking for pastry,
was censured by some on that &c.
count- DO you suppose he quick
" retorted, that dainties have been
rsserved for fooIs:' Haydn, Goethe
and Rossini were well-known gour-
mands. Rossini himself invented
a number of culinary recipes. On
the other hand; we often find cases
of moderation and temperance al
most ascetic. Richard Wagner, for
example, while surrounded by lux
ury of all sorts at Wahnfried, was,
nevertheless, very temperate in both
eating and drinking; he took only
two meals day; confining himself
to purely vegetarian diet at that.
Beethoven would drink little soup
In the morning, taking no other
meal before supper; late in the after
noon, however, he would take a
walk to Silvring and drink a glass
OF young wine. Schubert had his
days when he might have well passed
for professional faster, and yet on
those days he did not work. The
Russian poet Lermontoy was once
invited by rich boyar to banquet.
A mass of delicacies was laid before
him. The poet tasted this and that,
took leave of his host as soon as he
could, and repaired to the nearest
cafe, where he satisfied his appetite
by two orders of roast beef. Charles
Gounod was very fond of cherries,
and a mere glance at plate of
pretty red cherries, encouraged him
in work. Alfred Tennyson could
not stand the vapor emanating from
boiled potatoes, though he did eat
potatoes. Similarly the Hungarian
Petofi would not touch hare's meat
in whatever way prepared. Ales-
sandro Manzoni disliked roasted
chestnuts; Grilparzer, roasted goose.
Mehul was one of the first among
the French who tasted of horse
flesh.
More important, however, is the
manner and time of eating, and the
size of meals, all of which affect
mental health to a considerable de-
gree. 1t is surely interesting to
note that Alfred de Musset always
took his dinner at noon, as did the
eastern Europeans, contrary to the
universal costom that prevails in
Paris and all France of eating din
ner in the evening. Alphonse Dau-
det and Dumas fils, again, take
their dinners late in the evening,
sometimes as late as o'clock.
Emile Zola, model of orderliness,
eats his dinner at o'clock, in a
small dining. room, having no COM
panion but his wife. No less pleas
ant are the dinners of the Count
Tolstoi at Iasnaia Polyana. The
entire family-and it is large one
gathers around a coarse wooden
table, the old count at the head; a
silent prayer is said, and thereupon
the dinner proceeds, accompanied
by conversation. IL a guest be
present. his place is at the right
hand of the Count, and the host
waits on his guest himself.

But with surprising haste they
answered, informing their hostesses
when thew would arrive. and then
on the heels of the letter swept up

Letters told us how they found
they cousins, charming widow and
her daughter, with a fine old place.
