Three or four years ago a halt- drunken young fellow, driving furiously along a crowded street, ran over a little child and hurt his spine. The boy was the son of a poor cobbier. His bed was a straw pallet on a garret floor. When the injury was pronounced in curable he was removed from the hos pital to this bed. There was nothing for him to look forward to but years of misery in the filth and half darkness of the wretched garret. His mother was dead. Ilis father in the shop below could barely keep them from starving. The young fellow who hurt him was sorry, but what could he doP He wns a fast clerk on a small salary. Now and then a kindly Irishwoman on the lower floor, as wretched as ‘hemsolves, would run up to “hearten the creature up a bit;” but that was all. t he only view from the square window was the cor ner of the next roof, and the event of the day for the miserable cripple was to see the cats climb along it, or fight each other- Foul smells and foul language came up from the rooms below to him. There seemed to be no other possible chance for his life than to die down into still more brutal ignorance and misery, and to go out like an ill-smelling flame into the eternal night. Now. just at that time a little English lad, who had come with his father to visit the Centennial Exposition, while passing along a quiet street of the city in which the cripple lived, saw some pale- faced children peering at him out of the windows of a large house set back among trees. Over the gate was the name, Children’s Hospital. The boy’s kindly English heart was touched; lie turned and went in, joked and played awhile with the poor babies, and when ho went back to his hotel wrote to his mother of the pleasant sunny rooms with flowers in the windows and pic tures on the walls, and the motherly nurses taking caro of the little children. “ I have seen nothing which pleased me better in America,” .he said. “ I will go ngain and tell you nbout it when I come home." He never went home. The gallant little lad wns taken baok dead to his mother a few weeks later. After the violence of her grief wns past, in her many efforts to show her gratitude to the people who had nursed and beon kind to her boy, she asked to bo allowed to endow a memorial bed in the little hospital which had pleased him so much, and directed that it should be filled with the most miserable needy case known to the managers. So it came to pass Hint our little cripple on a warm spring day wns carried out of his garret, bnthed, and laid on a pure white lied in a sunny, pleasant room. The other children in the ward called to him and made acquaintance; there were toys, books, pictures for them all. The good woman who lifted him smiled at him; lie thought his mother must have looked like that. Outside the maples reddened in the sun and rustled in at the windows, and the robins chirped and built their nests. Tiiero wore dainty little meals brought to him. There was the best skill the city could command given to effect his cure. Good women with their hearts full of Christ's love came to tench him, and toll him of this unknown Savior. At his bed head hangs .a little card which he probably never has read or understood: “In memory of Richard , of Sussex, England.” Something this little story hints in n dim wny of the infinite inextricable tanglo of human lives and their inex orable influence on each other. When the English lad obeyod the generous impulse to give a moment’s pleasure to tho little children ns lie pnssed, how could he tell that lie lifted this other life up into the sunshine for all timeP “ Tho word that we speak to-day,” says the Arab proverb, “shall it not, meet us ngain nnd again at the turning of the ways to show us how it has cursed und blessed our fellowsP" Good Words for the Skunk. A fuller acquaintance with tin habits of ’lie skunk would had us to cm aider it one of our most valuable friendi We made our first acquaintance with it, however, through the sense of smell, or the death of young chickens nnd ducks, of which the skunk Is very fond. The intense odor of I he skunk is oppres sive, and it makes its presence known in a way that b unique and searching. While the fragrance of the skunk is sui generis and overpowering, it is not damaging ns that from sewers and sinks and neglected potato bins and cabbage pits. Judging the latter from odor alone, they must be condemned more surely than the odoriferous skunk. We know the uses of potatoes nnd cabbages and think of their good qualities. But not so with the skunk. Eet us see if we cannot afford to endure them on the farm, and allow them an occasional chicken or duck for a change of diet. The skunk is pre-eminently an insectiv orous animal. He diligently pursues his calling at night when insects nre most nbundant, and when his enemies, dogs and men, are asleep. He devours even the Colorado potato bug (deccm- lineata), nnd finds a rich morsel in the strawberry grub (lachonestra). He mnkes hearty meals on cut worms, and gorges himself with white grubs, the larvae of the May beetle, which he roots after in the loose sod or decaying hay or straw about stack-yards. He plows through the litter and leaves gathered in the nooks and corners of the fields, which) nre coverts nnd breed ing placos of the myriads of clinch bugs. Ho reaches millions of enemies in secluded plnccs which man ennnot reach with the plow, or rake, or fire. We may clear tho litter and trash from our fields, but tho corners and fence- rows harbor tho enemy we try to destroy. A kind providence lias Bent to our aid this half domestic animal that seems to increase like tho Norway rat in populated districts, and for the com mon renson that his food is more abund ant there. Wo wish we could see some like compensation in the presence of the rat. but science has not yet revealed it, and American civilization has not, like the Chinese, found use lor it. The skunk, unlike the rat, pays as he goes. We can afford to take care of the chick ens nnd ducks and let ttio skunks mul tiply. Build the walls of our porches and dwellings so the skunks cannot get under them, and they wiU keep at such a distance from our homes as not to ofl’ond us. Tho old Greek motto, “ Know thyself,” is a good ono, an l it suggests a good ono for us, “ Farmer, know tliy friends.”—A Farmer, in Cin cinnati Commercial. A MINER’S LUCK. Returning Wealthy After a l.n « Ab sence Re Finite III* Wife Another Mail’* Widow. The following romantic story is told in a recent letter from Mt. Vernon, Ohio: A story coinciding with the romantic incidents narrated in tho story of Enoch Arden has been brought to light in this county. Although the parties most interested toied to keep the matter quiet, yet your correspondent has gleaned the facts of the case, which are as follows: In the month of Feb ruary, 1864, Madison Robeson married Miss Hettie J. White, of Howard township, this county, and lived hap pily witu her for five years. The fruits of the marriage wore three boys. Bur ing the gold-mining excitement of 1859 Robeson got the ‘ lever” and left for the West to seek his fortune, his objective point being Pike’s Pcnk. At first lie wrote at regular intervals long and in teresting letters, giving glowing de scriptions of the country, and his pros pects: th n his letters enme less fre quently and finally ceased to come at all. Years rolled by and nothing was heard of the derelict husband or his whereabouts. His family concluded that he was dead and had either met with some mining r.ccident or had fallen a victim to the vengeance of the red man. Then a Philip Ray put in an appearance and sought Mrr. Robeson’s hand in marriage. She finally consented, and after a lapse of fourteen years from tho time her hus band left was married to Philander Marlow, and left with her new husband and hoi children lor Iowa, where they purchased a small farm near Decorah, and took up their residence there. Her second husband died two years after the r removal to Iowa. Her sons have grown to mnnhood; ono of them is mar ried and with his motuer is still living on their little farm near Decorah. A few days ago a stranger arrived in this place, who proved, Enoch Arden like, to be tho long-lost Robeson Fro his brother-in-law, Mr. J. H. Milless, a business innn here, he learned the whereabouts of his wi fe and of her sec ond marriage. Robeson tolls a ro mantic story of his wanderings and ad ventures, and of his luck nnd ill luck. He says that after leaving this county ho went direct to the Pike’s Peak coun try and engaged in mining there, but afu ’ . .. r .. Carried Off by An Alligator. Tho following dreadful affair is related by the Lake City (Fla.) lleportcr: A few days ago a party of several persons near Benton went on a "drivo” for deer. About twelve o’clock they enmo to Peo ple’s bridge, on the Suwannee, and being warm and much fatigued they concluded to take a bath. Tho party, consisting of about eight, divested themselves of clothing ana enjoyed a swim. As most of the party were employing themselves in dressing, n young man named Mixon cried out, " Boys, 1 must have one last swim,” and plunged into the stream. As lie reached the middle ho cried for help to his companions, and thoy looked to behold him held by the right shoul der in the mouth of un enormous alli gator. Tiie monster sank witli him, reappearing some two or three minutes later upon tho surface witli Mixon still in his jaws Mixon cried to his com panions to shoot, but before a gun could be discharged he sank again, taking Mixon under witli him. About two minutes after he arose agaiu and struck for the opposite shore, still having the ill fated young man in his enormous mouth. Again Mixon called upon his companions to shoot, but being afraid of hitting Mixon no one discharged nis § un. The alligator crept some half a ozen feet upon the opposite bank, re maining about three minutes, when, guided by a sudden impulse, lie plunged with his precious burden into the river ajgain, nnd reaching the middle sank to rise no more within the view of the K . A thorough search was made, aught could be scon of the body or parts ot the body of the unfortunate young man. The presumption is that the alligator made for his lair, which probably was near at hand. Treatmant at Hog*. F. G. Palmer & Brother write as fol lows to the Western Live Slock Journal: A great many farmers think that a hog does not require much care nnd atten tion, and never think of salting them. According to our way of thinking, a hog needs more care than cattle or liorscs. Very frequently where cholera breaks oul, you will find that tho owner has been vury negligent in caring for them. Caro nnd regu'ar slopping and feeding are t|ie best preventatlvcs against hog oholohi, and our experience lies proven such to be the case. For tho past seven years wo liavo raised from 120 to 175, and they have been healthy, not often refus ing to eat. Ou commission man in ClRoago, A. W. Vaughan, will toll you that no better hogs than onr- raising come to that market. Firstly, wc feed twice a day in regular quantities, fattening hogs wc start them lightly for a low days, soon as wo find what they can clean up before leaving the floor, then we hold them right there, give them the heaviest at night, and keep our floor dean every day Always feed with a basket witli our system ot feeding; there are often days when thoy take more feed. Take, for mslanco, two separate lots of the same number, feed one lot ail thoy can cat and keep it before hem, as many farmers do, feed the oilier lot after our style of feeding, at tho expiration of thirty d iys you will Und our lot has oaten more corn nnd gained more pounds por bushel, and much less liable to diseases. We fatten our nigs and have them averaging three hundred and over Keep nothing over but breeding sows, only raise one litter from them. Our sows last fall, about twenty months old, averaged 600 pounds. To keep our hogs in a good healthy condition, we slop them on oat meal and milk every day while sucking pigs, give the sumo when large enough to drink—don’t give them all they can stuff, just enough to keep them growini nicely. To the hogs we give a gooi brine once a week in slop, and one pound of English soda (it comes in kegs) to every twenty boas; pigs don’t get it ns strong. Tiiis will make it too hot for worms to stop long, will often stop L'eps Secondly, clean their yardB every season. We build our sheds high, facing tho south, leaving a spaoo under the eaves which gives a good ventilation; use nothing but straw for the roofs, which we take off in the summer, let tho rains wash it good in the fall, and recover it with new straw, making it almost as good as moving it We bea as often as once a week during cold weather; a dirty place to sleep in is bad for them. A Sponge Plantation. F< ? r , D ?. any years the B Ponge fishers of the Mediterranean have carried on their avocations so recklessly that there is reason to fear the supplies from the great sea (which yields the best article) will practically cease unless means are adopted at oned to prevent the men from destroying—as they do at present in countless numbers-the young animals while securing the full-grown victims. Meantime Dr. Brehm, the illustrious naturalist, has suggested a plan for raising sponges artificially. Selecting a few hundred specimens, he divided them into several thousand small pieces, fastened separately into perforated cases, which were then towed out to the bay of Socolizza. He then attached the pieces to a wooden framework, which was then lowered in a shady spot to a proper depth. In a few months the sponges had grown to the size of good natural ones, exhibiting tneir distinctive black color. The au thorities regarded his scheme with favor, but the fishers, with that ignor ant prejudice which lias so often delayed sound reform in almost every industry, attacked the plantation at night, de stroyed the frames,and-made off with two thousand sponges. By substituting copper wire for woodwork, Dr. Brehm immediately checkmated the teredo, whose ravagps in woodwork are noto rious; and by fastening the spanges to stones it was observed that they speedily attached themselves firmly, them from coughing; this keeps them in ii healthy condition FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. How to Tattler Iloraea an it Cow*. It Is a good while since I have made any modification in my way of tether ing. Horses arc tethered by either fore leg—never by the head. Thcbest tether is a rather stout chain (not less than one-fourth inch iron witli two-inch links) with rings and swivels at eacli end. This is most conveniently attached to the leg by a well-fitted fetter. I had sets of fetters sometime ago which were excellent, but they became rusty nnd were finally beaten and broken. Since then I have used a- inch nnd a quarter to an inch and a half strap, passed twice around above the pastern joint, and yet so loose that it will slip around the leg. The tethered nnimai must be led to the end of the tether hefore it is set tree, and then watched a little so that it shall not start off with a rush in the opposite direction and be brought up too suddenly. I have never Had any difficulty with horses—they seem to comprehend the situation at once. Cows nre tethered in precisely tue same way, hut by the hind leg. They will some times kick excitedly for a while, but no harm ever comes of it. To avoid this I usually attach the chain, and then lead the cow some distance to get her accustomed to the burden upon her leg, and to let her see that it will do her no harm. Catnip* Timber Tree*. There is much talk in the papers about planting tho catalpa for timb: r. Ii is a durable and valuable timber: nnd it grows fast. It will usually add three inches to its girth eacli year. There are two kinds grown in the United States; ono known to botanists ns catalpa speciosn, the other as catalpa bignonio- des. Either is as good as tiie other for timber, oxcept that in the northwest tiie former is believed to suffer less in severe winters. The young plants should be cut to the ground when two years old. When the sprouts come the next spring, all should be slipped out but the strongest. Then a long, elenn, straight stem will bo the result.

There he was not successful and left for British Columbia, but in a short time returned to California. From there lie went to Now Zealand with a min ing chum, but mooting with had luck ngain returned to California. When he arrived in San Francisco ho found a letter there for him from a former mining companion who had gone to Australia. He acceded to the requests of his old chum and left lor Australia, whore he resided for several years, was successful, and accumulated sovoral thousand dollars. He then de termined to return to this country and to 111 family. Arriving in California lie was led into unfortunato speculations and loBt all the money ho had saved in Australia. He then returned to mining and worked forseven years in tho minus in Nevada, Idnho and Wyoming. Two years ago, when the Leadville mining excitement broke out, lie left for that place and located und worked what proved to be rich claims. Ho now owns twenty residences in that city and runs n large hotel and livery stablo, and is worth $300,000. He claims that ho wrote several Jotters home, but received no answers, nnd concluding that his family was either dead or had left tiie country, lie ceased writing.

Ladies of good families who have wealth at their command mako the most desperate smugglers, and are dealt with tiie hardest by tho officers, as they do not deserve ns much leniency or sym pathy as the poor woman who has in vested her little all and would be desti tute if stringently dealt with, and to whom the good bargain, duly free, is really a great temptation. Tho class of goods which Canadians buy in Detroit and smuggle to Canada is cotton cloth, domestic and dress goods. The Detroit purchaser steps on the ferry and goes over to Windsor for gloves, laces, silks, velvets and cashmeres, these articles being considered much cheaper and better, whether they are or not. There are hundreds of Detroit Indies wearing velvet and silk dresses who smuggled them over folded neatly about their angelic waists or disposed of in their bosoms, while they passed the custom house officer, the lynx-eyed female de tectives, the landing waiters, and with serene countenances walked off with their spoils. Ono lady boasts of the amount of goods she can carry over at a single trip. The smuggling mania has taken such possession of her that she lias smuggled for hpr friends, merely to keep up the excitement. She has ac quired such a knack of arranging the. goods about her person that a whole bolt of cotton does not give her the least uneasiness, and she can carry at one trip half a dozen silk dresses; yet the lady herself is by no means of insignifi cant bulk. It is a great mistake the idea that thin women make the most success ful smugglers. The slightest additional fullness betrays them. But a plump di vinity can add fifty pounds lo her tour- nure nnd no one will be the wiser.— Detroit Post. When milk sours scalding will render it sweet again.

A mother of several children lately told mo some of her experience. A lew years ago slie thought tlmt her oldest boy’s teeth in tho front of tiie lower jaw were decaying bndly. This was a dis appointment to tiie mothor, who had fed her children carefully on nourishing and wholesome food, as a general rule, keeping botli pickles and confectionery from them. Studying the matter over, she jumped to the conclusion that what she had read concerning tho miscliicf- mnking properties of the tomato must be true, especially as her husband, who was very free in his use of tomatoes in their season, had a peculiar trouble with Ids tectti. She had observed that the children’s (especially the boys’) teeth grew whito and clean when tlieic was plenty of ripe tomatoes, and sho thought the acid of tho vegetable proba bly wont too far and acted upon the onamol of tho teeth. But when tho boy then fourteen years old, went to a den tist to liavo hfs teeth tilled. Lo! there was no filling to be done. “Your boy has a splendid sot of tooth,” the dentist told the mother. "There is not a cavity in them. Unusually good teeth for a boy of his age.” And the dentist had no doubt that the teeth were better than they would have been if the owner of them had munched candy and pickles as children usually do. “ They must he cleaned, and that without delay,” he said. So tho tartar which had gathered and crusted gradually at tho crown of the teeth was removod by the dentist, and with it all appearance of decayed teeth Now the boy has nothing to do but to keep his teeth in order to avoid den tistry bills in future. The younger children are warned to avoid the older brother’s trouble by the daily use of tooth brushes. From their father’s case they learn to avoid the opposite extreme. His teeth are hopelessly dis colored, and a few are habitually loose, but the useful tomato is no longer sus pected as the cause. He had an oppor tunity to read some in a work on den tistry, and came to the conclusion that hnrd “scouring” of his teeth with gritty substances, when ho was a young man, had worn away the hard enamel of his teeth so that the strong coffee he drank (during his soldier life especially) penetrated and permanently colored his teeth. I dislike to hear of scouring the teeth. When they have been neglected this may be necessary to got them once clean. The dentist has peculiar tools for removing tarter crust, but the yellow deposit on children’s teeth can be cleaned away as the dentist does it, by aDy one. Take finely pow dered pumice stone and a little clean soft pine stick to rub with. Dip the pine stick into water and then in pumice, and rub the teeth gently. Alterward wash them with soap and water, using a tooth brush. It is well to use a little fine clean soap occasion ally lor cleaning tho teeth, but plenty of pure water)a little warm in the cold weather) will suffice for cleansing the teeth of persons of dietetic habits. To make good teeth in the fiist place be ginning when we can begin, and allow ing tor “ ancestry ” the mother should eat plain and nutrious food, a varied diet well supplied with bone material, as the grains are when it is not bolted or sifted out, and lean meat.

Take the fruit out with a skim mer, woigh it, and to each pound of fruit allow a pound of sugar. Put tho fruit and sugar into the kettle, with enough of water to make a good syrup, and let them boil gently until they ure clear.

If there is a large quantity of fruit, nnd the kettle is not large, it is best to put the fruit in tiie syrup a little at a time. To Keepliamp Chimney* from Cracking. The following recipe for keeping lamp chimneys from cracking is taken from tho Diamond, a Leipzig journal dovotod to the glass interest: Placo your tumblers, chimneys or vessels which you desire to keen from cracking in a pot fillod with cola water; add a little cooking salt, allow the mixture to boil well over afire, and then to cool slowly. Glass treated in this way is said not to crack even if exposed to very sud den changes of temperature. Chimneys are said to bocomc very durable by this process, which may also be extended to crockery, stoneware, porcelain, etc. flatting out Plant*, Iu setting out plants of any kind tho greatest ol care should bo taken. Eve ning is the best time for doing the work, ann early morning tho next best. If it must be done in the middle of the da> wiien tho sun is hot, they should lie well wet down before removing and the ground where they are set also well watered and kept so until they get a good start. A temporary shade may lie arranged to advantage when convenient. If tiie work can be done in cloudy or rainy weather, it is all the better. Chinese Treatment of Animals. They never punish; hence n mule that in the hands of a foreigner would be not only useloss, but dangerous to everyone nbout it, becomes in the possession of a Chinaman ns quiet as a lamb and ns tractable as a dog. We never beheld a runaway, or a jibing or a vicious mule or pony in a Chinaman’s employment hut lound the same rattling, choorfu pace maintained over heavy or light roads, by means of a tur-r or cluck-k, tho animal turning to tho right or left and stopping with but a hint from the reins. This treatment is extended to all tho animals they press into service Often have I admired the tact exhibited in getting through narrow crowded streets ami alleys by merely having a lit tle boy to load one of tho quietest of the fiockin front, tiie ot hers steadily follow ing, without the aid either from a yelp ing cur or a cruel goad.
