Mr.. Hawthorne was satisfied.


Nathaniel Hawthorne was kind
hearted man as we'll as great novelist.
While he was consul at Liverpool a
young Yankee walked into his Office.
The boy had left home to seek his for
tune, but evidently had not found it
yet, although he had crossed the sea in
search. HomeEick, friendless, nearly
penniless, he wanted passage home.
The clerk said Mr.. Hawthorne could
not be seen, and intimated that the boy
was not an American, but was trying
to steal a passage.
The boy stuck to his point, and the
clerk at last went to the little room aud
said to Mr.. Hawthorne:
"Here's boy who insists upon see-
ing you. He says he's an American,
but I know he ISN'T;
Hawthorne came out of the room, and
looked keenly at the eager, ruddy face
of the boy.
Y0u want passage to American"
"Yes. sir.''
"And you say you're an American"
''Yes, SIR"
"From VII It part of Amerieap'
''United States. SIR"
"What State?"
"New-Hampshire, sir"
"Town?n
"Eexter, SIR"
Hawthorne looked at hin for min
ute before asking him the next ques-
tion.
"Who sold the best apples in your
town."
"Skim-milk Folsom, sir" said the
boy, with glistening eyes, as the old
familiar byword brought up the dear
old scenes of home.
''It's all right, SIR" said Hawthorne,
to the clerk; 'sgive him passage"

snmcient Reasons.

In business, as in games of skill, the
indispensable thing is not merely to be
smart, but to be smarter than one's
competitor.
According to the Golden Penny, a
tourist was stopping at a small country
hotel. and seeing the hostler expert and
tractable, inquired how long he had
lived there, and what countryman he
was.
''I'se YORKSHIRE" laid the fellow,
"and ha' lived sixteen years here"
"I WONDER" replied the gentleman,
"that in SO long period SO clever fe!-

"Ay," answered the hostler, ''but

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES IN POULTRY.
A great many persons whose fowls
die from roup attribute the cause to
cholera, owing to their inability to
diagnose the several diseases. There
are two forms of so-called roup, how
ever, which are very contagious, and
from them the term roup comes. The
first is diphtheria (known as "caDker' .
roup,) and it spreads rapidly, owing to
the entire flock drinking from the same
vessels and eating from the same sour
ces. The other is the Well-known scro-
fula, which is manifested by sores,
great Jumps on the face, or even as car
buncles. The hoarse breathing and fre-
quent suffocation of birds is due to
catarrh or Group, showing all the symp-
toms thereof. Consumption is very
common disease, and il soon spreads, as
the germs are deposited over the runs,
thus rendering every fowl liable. Ii
may exist for few weeks or last fol
several months. The birds gradually
waste away, dying off one by one until
all are gone. Consumption of the
bowels mostly occurs with very young
chicks, and it sweeps them away rapidly.
The use of remedies is of but little
avail, for it is impossible to treat such
disease in the food (many birds having
no appetite;) and it is also dangerous
and useless to give medicines by hand,
to say nothing of the labor in SO do
ing. All such remedies, as kerosene in
the food, eopperas in the drinking
water, etc., are about as eff1caciuns for
fowls as for humans. In fact, it is just
as difficult to cure consump. ion in q
human, which should prompt everyone
who finds any contagious disease in his
flock to resort to heroic remedies at
once, and destroy all of his birds. This
may be sacrifice, but it is better 10
sacrifice them than incur the risk Of
loss of life of some member of the
family. The bodies of the birds should
be burnt or deeply buried, and unless
every square inch of space formerly oc-
cupied by the bird is disinfected mot
only once, but several times) J, it will be
q risk to procure new birds, as the germ
of the disease will be left and the di-
sease appeared again.
