“ Oh yes, sir; there’s a many ways
of picking up a living as the rich nev
er thinks of. You wouldn’t suppose,
now, that selling a few watercress^
would find* bit of bread and • morrei
of tea and sugar for three souls; but
it does, and for hundreds more; and
if you’d get up early some morning and
have a look at Farringdon Market,
you’d be a bit surprised at the trade
there is doing in them hits of green
meat.
“ I took to it when it pleased God
10 take my Mary and she said to me
with her eyes already staring and fixed
straight away upon the far off land,
• Mother, darling,’ she said, .‘I’m going
to where He is to whom they brought
little child ren; but I can’t take the chil
dren mther; you must keep them for me.
And all I could say to make her happy
about her two little ones, I said ; and
as I sat trying to watch her with my
poor, old dim eyes, that had grown hot
and dry from much crying, she passed
away from me; and I, who had hoped
to have had her hand to make my pil
low smooth in the time when I was on
my last sick bed, was left behind with
her two poor bairns.
Hard ! ah, it was hard—hard when
my Sam died—my husband, you know,
lie was a stevedore, and got crushed
between a ship and the dock wharf—
killed, sir, fighting in the battle oflifo
for our daily bread ; and lie left me
with little Mary, nine years old then ;
but we fought our way ou with our
needles; for my eves were good then,
though beginning to grow weak with
shedding widow’s tears. And we liv
ed, sir, lived on, which "i-'Le-o hard
times for the. poor is something. It
was hard to see through, that there
was sunshine and brightness out of
doors, and to know that it was to' be
enjoyed, but not by us, who had our
work—always hard work—to get just
common things and daily bread, and
pay the bit of rent. But the years
flew on ; and even while it seemed only
yesterday that poor Sam was taken to
the hospital, and me sent for to close
his eye3, Mary would come back from
the workshop with a tall, stout young
fellow to sec h.ei;£u the door.
Wflat could I say, when she was a
woman grown, and looked so happy
and proud of him ; not shamed, you
know, but seeming to glory in hint;
id for it. and I couldn’t complain, and tell her
she was forgetting her poor old moth
er when it was only her natural love
for a good, straight-forward, honest
young fellow. Didn’t it bring back
my own old times, wheulife was young
for me, and everything looked fresh,
and green, and shining, wbcu Sam
came courting to see me, and my heart
used to beat when I heard the sound
of his footsteps ?
“ No; I could say nothing, only have
many a good cry when Mary was as
leep, and I lying awake to think of how
sad a life had been mine.
“ But I would not make this a
trouble, I said, and I made him wel
come, and in all good time, when they’d
saved a little money, they were to be
mairicd.

Could with the little ones.
“ I hadn’t been very well, and I was
dull and heavy, thinking a deal about
what had happened thirteen or
fourteen yearn before, and seeming to
see again the cold looking, white hos
pital wards where I was fetched to;
and do ail I would I could not help
going through all my troubles over and
over again, till I got so low and cried
so, that I quite upset Mary, and she
bad hard work to keep from crying,
too.
“ At last, seeing how miserable I
made her, I cheered up, and sh6 got
theYtcaYsody for H«wy when he came
home, and set in his chair, and got the
baby off to sleep, so that if ho was
tired the little thing should not worry
him, and things wereall looking bright,
and pleasant, and homelike, for the
poor fellow who didn’t come.”
“ Half an hour past his time—an
hour—two hours—and then Mary be
gan to show how uneasy she was; but
at last we heard steps, and she ran to
the door,, opened it and then darted
back to me in the little kitchen, her
eyes staring, her face white and all
drawn, and as she cried out once, ‘ O,
mother !’ jn so pitiful a way, she dropp
ed on the floor.
| “ But-it war only a passing fit i f
giddiness from the shock, for she was
up again directly, and helping me to
drage away the table; then they
brought home poor Harry on a shut
ter—four of his mates, and we fetched
a mattress, and laid him on it down
stairs. Poor fellow, he looked like
death itsolf, with his pale facegeneilla
so ruddy aud bright, and his eyes sunk
en, and the hair upon his poor clammy
forehead all wet.
“It was that old story—crushed
whilo shunting—another poor fellow
stricken down . while fighting for his
bread. > 9 J'
He would not let them take him
to the hospital, he told us, quite calm
ly, for fear poor Mary should not gt-
tliere in time to see him ; and when we
tried to cheer him up, saying, * Not
bad as that,’ and talking, as yiiu
know* how people will talk to sick folk,
lie only smiled faintly, and asked Mary
Why, that would be sixpence a week
and another good customer safe. Twen
ty or thirty such customers would be'
a little fortune to us. I say us, because
of poor Many’s little ones."

in the breeze, and the thin old figure

We are fast becoming a. nation of

Our boys are not learning trades; our

looking for clerkships and postoffices;
hardly one American girl in each hun
dred will do house work for wages,

Cedar Rapids has had a jealous hus
band sensation. A rich resident of
that ambitious city, who has a pretty
and sweet young wife, has for some
time been the victim of suspicions.
He laid a plan. He announced that
he was goiug East to stay at a water
cure for a month. And be did go.—
But be came back on the next train,
reachin;' his home as it slumbered in
the peace of drowsy midnight If there
was anything, he knew he bod it by
the ear. The only light was in his
wife’s bedroom. He lingered under
the window, to hear the murmur of
low voices. He heard it. Now his
wrath raged. With passiou in one
hand and a night key in the other, he
bounded up the steps, through the out
er doors. Reaching the bedroom door,
it was locked. His wife had heard the
foot-steps, and in terror wanted to
know who was there ? He replied he
lielievtd it was her husliand. She
would open the door iu u minute. This
was tho straw that made the irate hus
band irater. With heavy and wrath
ful foot lie banged against the door
it yielded. The Observer tells the rest:
“ This bombardment was greeted with
a shriek from the wife, and the infu
riated ‘ husband’ rushed • in, just in
time to see the do^r of'a closet closing;
deceived) shine in European fabrics;
our men dress in foreign clothes; the
toys that amuse our children have gen
erally reached us over the sea. Hence
it is that in spite of every effort we are
like the farmer who hires his neigh
bor's eon to cut his wood, feed his
stock, and run his errands, while his
own boy lounges at tho grog shop,
playing billiards, and then wonders
why, in spite of his best efforts, he
sinks annually deeper and deeper into
debt, till the sheriff clears him nut,
and he starts West to begin again.
We must turn over a new leaf.—
Our boys and girls must be taught to
love labor by qualifying themselves to
do it efficiently. We must turn out
fewer professionals and more skilled
artisans, as well as food growers. We
must grow and fabricate two hundred
millions worth per annum that wc im
port, and so reduce the foreign debt
that we have so long aud so success
fully augmented year by year.
We must qualify our clever I toys to
erect and run factories, furnaces,.roll
ing-mills, tanneries, machine shops,
etc., to open and work mines, improve
and fashim implements, anti double
the present product of their father’s
farm. So shall wc stem the tide of
debt that sets steadily against our
shores, and cease to be visited and an

This was after the doctor had done
all he could, and said the poor fellow
ought to have been taken to the hos
pital ; and, after a bit, he asked me to
fetch down the baby, and he kissed it,
and then his little boy, and told me to
take him away again. And then be
fore the agony came on, he asked
Mary to lift his head upon her shoul
der, and begged her to forgive him for
not doing more to provide for her and
her little ones, when, poor lad, he had
never spent a shilling from his home;
and went on talking in that quiet, sad
way, till I could not bear it, for it was
plain he knew what was coming.
“ Notone thought did he have for
himself, only, after a bit, he asked
Mary quietly to join his hands togeth
er, for he could not move them, aud to
kneel down by his side; and he did it
all in a quiet, strange, broken-hearted
way that 'was pitiful to see. e§r
“• Aud then came the most terrible
agony, snch as is dreadful to look upon ;
but though he was racked, ho never
uttered a word of complaint, but bore
it all till about day-break, when he
seemed easy, and Mary leaned over him
to wipe the great drops of sweat from
his face.
“ He had been lying with his eyes
closed for a little while, and then he
would rend the destroyer of his do
mestic happiness. His wife placed
herself in front of the closet door, and
entreated him not to open it. This
only added fuel to the flame ofjealous-
ly that was raging like a volcano with
in “ the pent up Utica” of his breast.
He thrust her away, and jerked open
the door—and—saw—en dishabille—
Miss , a neighboring lady friend,
who had been invited to stay withe
her during his absence.”

Harry was a porter on the Great Eas
tern Railway, with eighteen shillings
a week—a large sum, poor Mary
thought; and when it was raised to a
pound they were to marry, and, as my
poor little lass thought, be rich. 4 A
pound a week, mother!’ she’d say, and
then she’d reckon up how far it would
go, and how much they’d save, and
plan how I was to live with them, aud
not work so hard, till she would catch
me looking, half smiling, half sad at
her, and come and nestle her head upon
my shoulder.
“ It’s very hard to give up one thing
after auother that you love; but it’s
not for the old to be selfish, and stand

“The doctor said it was a sort of
low fever brought on by a cold; and
perhaps it was, partly, for it was a cold
dreary, soaking day when poor Harry
was buried, and Mary came home
drenched; but from the day she closed
his eyes, my poor lass drooped and

A sick room is no place for curiosity.
If no good word can be said, or kind
service can be rendered in a sick and
dying room, it is the last place to whiqh
one should go as a mere spectator.—
Every nenc face, the tread of every un
called for footstep, the demands upon
the air for breath, but the breathiug of
such as must be in attendance, is an
injury in sickness, and especially when
debility h great Nine out of ten often
feel as if it was an act of rude neglect,
if they are not invited in a sick room,
and a direct insult if told that they
must not go. Some persons go into a
sick room, and sit hour after hour with
eyes fixed upon the sick person, occa
sionally whispering to some equally in
discreet one that may chance to be nigh.
This is absolutely intolerable. Others
will hang about the door aud peep at
the sufferer, as they would steal a look
at some show. This, too, is intolerable.
Another practice when the patient is
very sick, is that of feeling the pulse,

I have often been asked how I suc

For tho information of your
many readers I will now give them
my plan, which has always succcded.
Cabbage cannot bo grown upon poor
land. Good cabbage cannot bo grown
unless you have good seed. With good
land, or land well manured, and good
seed, upon day lands, fine winter cab
bage can be made in almost any por
tion of the South. I have never suc
ceeded upon sandy lands, as tho hot
sun of July and August, upon such
lands, seems to kill the plants.
Sowing the Seed.-—About the middle
of May I so w thc seed upon a bed iu
some place that is likely to keep moist;

Mr. Evans gives, in a recent issue
of the IForW, the l»est advice as to
feeding poultry that I have ever seen.
Permit one who has had 5,000 fowls

morning and evening. This Is exactly
right, and thc food must l»e eaten from
a clean place, where it cannot by any
chance become mixed with excrement.
Whole food—barley—may be fed from
thc same feeding box during the day
at will. Give them red pepper in winter.
Red pepper and lettuce are easily
produced in thc summer. Letthclot-
tuce grow up largo and strong, for
three dozen fowls will eat an enormous
quantity, grow, lay, and have wonder
ful health. The cheapest and best
feeding arrangement is made of a floor,
upright ends, a rim ou thc top to nail

preparing your bed, as the plants will
grow too large, or bo more likly to die
by the heat. If the plants should
commence drying, shade them with a
few bushes, raised three or four feet
above them. If there is a branch near
upon which you can make a plant-bed,
it is much better, as thc greatest diffi
culty in raising winter cabbage is to
get the plants to live before they are
transplanted, and if you have a plant-
bed on or near a branch, they arc more
likely to withstand thc summer heat.
Preparing the land.—Having bro
ken your land well and suh-soiled the
same, or spaded it up, check it oil two
feet each way, and with a spade dig a
hole twelve or fourteen inches deep,
fill nearly up with manure, and cover
suriug the consumption ot food with
out fighting. The bottom will be wide
enough for a box of any length not
over two feet high. Good roosts ; fresh
air and not too great range. In sum

wise look, a sigh and a whisper,
this, too, is intolerable.
A sad mistake common in a dying
chamber, is to suppose that the dying
person has lost perception and sensibil
ity, because unable to speak. So far
from this being the case, it is believed
that the perceptions are more keen and
delicate than when in health. Always
let it be remembered, in a dying room,
that the departing friend may hear all,
when the persons preseut will little sus
pect it. How important that every
thing in a dying room should be made
what it ought to be, for the salvation
and quiet of one who is being broken
away from all dear on earth, and ap
proaching all that is serious in eternity.
The sacredness and stillness of the
scene should be -disturbed with great
care and caution.
One word more in regard to a sick
room. A very great*mistake is mado
in the length of prayers, and loud and
excited speaking in prayer in the sick
room. This is an error too common,
and often the occasion of great suffer
ing to the sick and dying.—Reformed

hole; or lay oil rows two and onc-half
feet with a plow, run us deep as yon
can, and then open thc furrow as if
you were putting in guano; put in
your manure and bed on it, as if for
cotton; do not make a high bed. Have
your land prepared and ready by the
4th of July.
Setting out Plants.—Your land be
ing ready, any time from the 4th of
July to the 20tb, if you have a “ season,"
ret out your plants, which by this time
will be ten or twelve inches high; if
you have checked your land, set the
plants upon your hills, or checks, if
you have used thc other method, set
the plants two feet apart upon your
bed, which should not be high. Be
very particular to set the plants as far
down as the bud, pulling off some
leaves to accomplish it; and here lies
a great secret in raising thc cabbage,
namely, setting them deep.
Cultivating.—As soon as the plants
have commenced growing, work them
either with plow or. hoc once a week,
pulling or putting dirt to the plants
each time. By the lst r of October they
will commence to bead ; continue to
work them until the first frost, or un
til they commence to head (fell. Ab-
