6BE WOULD ONLY LOVE A TEMPER¬
ANCE MAN.
Bhe loved him, bnt she ssw him drunk,
Ah! fearful sight for her to see
And though it broke her heart, she said
That married they could never be,
And other lovers crowded near
To breathe their fond hopes in her ear;
It puzzled me to see her smile
On others while she loved him so,
For none of them were half so brave,
Or handsome, straight and tall as Joe,
I think that that was strange,
Don’t you V
But then they all wore badgea bine.
Joe went and took the pledge, and said
He'd never stain his honor more,
And soon he on his manly breast
The badge of his redemption wore.
And when his darling beard of that
Her faithful heart went pit-a-pat.
Blie sacked her lovers all, and flew
To lay her head against the breast
That wore the blessed badge of blue.
I think that that was sweet,
Don’t yon ?
Oh, bonny, bonny badge of blno.
Were I a girl I wouldn’t wed
A man that guzzled mm, would you ?
I’d give the chances all to him
Who wore tlio little badge of blno.
And if ho wouldn't wear it, f
Would pin it on, and tell him why.
‘Twould save us Isitli from grief and woe,
And every misery cold and black.
It made another man of Joe,
And now he’s got the inside track,
I think I’m talking sense,
Don’t you ?
Then wear the bonny badge of bine.
My First Visit to I*or<land.

papers come up to onr place from there
called the Portland Courier, and Family
Reader, and they told a good many
queer things about Portland, and one
thing and another; and all at once it
popped into my head, and I tip and told
father, and nays:
“I am going to Portland, whether or
no; and I’ll see what this world is made
of vet.”
Father stared a little at first, and said
he was afraid I would get lost; bnt

“Jack, this is all I can do for you; but

I shall hear good of you yet."
He turned and walked across the
room, but I could see the tears start
into his eyes. And mother sat down and
hod a hearty crying spell.
This made mo feel rather had for
A minit or two, and I aimost hod a mind

dream came into my mind, and I mus¬

So I tackled up tlio old horse, arid
packed in a load of ax-handles, and a
lew notions; and mother fried me somo
doughnuts, nnd put ’em into a box,
along with some cheese, and sausages,
and topped me up another shirt, for I
told her 1 didn't know how long I

Annt Bally had been married two or
three years before and moved to Port¬
land; and I inquired round till I found
out where she lived, and went there, and
put the old horse ui>, and eat some sup¬
per, and went to bed.
And the next morning I got up, and
straightened Portland right off' to see the editor
of the Courier, for I knew by
what 1 had seen in his paper, that he
was just the man to tell mo which way

and says he:
“I don’t care if I do.”
Bo he took and laid ’em on the shelf
again, and ponred out a glass of cider.
I took the cider and drinkt it down, and
to tell the truth, it was capital cider.
Then says I:
“I guess it’s a time for me to bo a

door; bnt says he:
“Stop. Mister. I believe you haven’t

“Not paid you for tho cider!” says I,

Two other firemen near him were in¬

MATE JAMES PRATT’S ESCAPE FROM
A WRECK OKE JIATTERAS*
The Foundering of the Bark A. G. Jewett
—Death of the Crew from Kxpomire In
a Flooded Boat— The Mingle Survivor.
[From the N. Y. Sun.]
Hie lookout of the bark Edward
Cashing, on Feb. 2fi, while the bark was
southeast of Capo Hatteras, sighted ir
the distance a dark object which bobbed
up and down in the rough sea. As the
bark neared it it was made out to be e
heavy spar spliced to an open boat. Ir
the boat, which was filled with water,
was a man clinging to the gunwale. The
bark bore down upon the laiat, and the
man was taken aboard. He was stiff
from cold and exposure, and had not
strength to speak. When he recovered
he told this story.
On Feb. 1!) the brig A. O. Jewett
loaded with coal and machinery, lefl
Philadelphia bound to Matanzas, Cuba.
Bhe was a trim vessel of 361 tons, was
under tho command of Capt. Joseph
Reed, and hailed from Belfast, Me. Bho
had picked up her crew in Philadelphia
a few days before sailing. These were
the Captain, two mates, six sailors, and
a cook.
On tho day after setting sail tho brig
passed the Delaware Breakwater. On
Feb. 21 and 22 the weather was forebod¬
ing, bnt the winds favored the vessel’s
course. During tho night of the 22d
the brig struck the Gulf Stream. A
strong wind, which had been blowing
from the southeast, turned into a violent
gale. The sea rose high and the waves
broke over the vessel, which labored
terribly. The the storm increased in vio¬
lence, and gale shifted and came
from ihe southwest. The buffeting of
ttie waves shifted tho brig’s cargo, and
she sprang a leak. The storm was sc
fierce that the pumps could not be
worked with any effect. At 6 j o'clock
on the morning of the 93d a heavy sea
struck the brig, throwing her on her
beam ends. Bho foundered shortly
afterward. Capt. Iteed and the cook
sank witli her.
The two mates and the four seamen
swam toward a boat which the waver
had torn loose from tho vessel, together
with a spar to which it had been spliced.
The boat was full of water, and would
have sunk but for tho spnr. The men
climbed into her, and clung to the gun¬
wales. The waves broke over them
again and again. They had no food,
water, oars, fir sails. At daylight the
gale had decreased in violence, but the
water was still terribly rough. It be¬
came frightfully cold. The men to keep
Hie upper part of their bodies out of tho
water stood on the boat’s seats, still
clutching the gnnwales, which were the
only part of Hie boat not submerged.
In the afternoon Mr. Clark, the first
mate, said that his strength was leaving
him. He conid not stand on the seat
any longer, and sank down into the wa¬
ter, his body resting on the boat’s bot¬
tom. For a time he managed to keep
his head and shoulders above the gun¬
wale. A succession of chop seas swept
over his head, and a little while later he
died. His companions, to lighten the
boat, threw his body into the sea. Not
long after the death of the first mate one
of the sailors died from exhaustion. His
body had hardly been let over tho side
of tho boat when another sailor loosened
his grip on the gunwale and fi ll back
dead. He , also was dropped into the
water. Only three remained when night
enme. There wns uo moon or ntais. Tho
flooded boat was tossed high one mo
mont and submerged the next. The
night was terrible, and it seemed like n
lifetime to the two men who lived to see
dawn. The other had died in tho dark
ness
At noon on Feb. 24, Second Mato
James Pratt was the sole survivor of the
crew of tho brig A. G. Jewett. For
nearly two He days had longer he was tossed
around. been iu tho boat fifty
four hours when ho saw the bark
Edward Cushing bearing down upon
him. He was too weak and numb to
make even a signal of distress. The
bark was ont from Boston and bound for
Aspinwnll, where Pratt was landed on
March 14. Ho was anxious to return to
the United States, bnt was entirely des¬
titute, all his effects having been lost
with tho A. G. Jewett. He told his
story to tho United States Consul at As
piuwall, who sent him homo on the
Pacific Mail steamship Acapulco, which
arrived iu this port Tuesday. 30

years. Ho is of height, com¬
pactly built, nnd looks like a man who

clear blue eyes, brown hair, and full
brown beard. His home is in Gardiner,
Me., where he will return. On her last
previous trip to this port the Acapulco
passed the wreck of tho schooner J.
Goodwin at Castlo Island Reefs. Pratt
was the second mute of this schooner,
and after her wreck went to Philadelphia
and shipped on the A. G. Jewett.

A Few Practical Domestic Receipea that
Can be Used to Advantage.
To make succotash that will taste
nearly if not quite as fresh as that made
in summer: Soak night. one*pint Soak of dried equal corn
in sweet milk ail an
quantity, or less if you prefer it, of dried
Lima beans for three hours in lukewarm
water. Then let them simmer for nearly
an hour; add salt, butter, pepper, and a
very little sugar.
If you wish to improve upon the usual
method of smothering beefsteak with
in onions, try this: bits, Cut one quart of onions
very small not over an inch long,
and as thin as a sharp knife will cut
them. Let them lie in cold water with a
good sprinkling of salt in it for half an
hour. Drain them well, and fry them
in a deep frying pan, with a good deal of
very hot lard in it. They*will cook im¬
mediately and be crisp and most excel¬
lent.
A dish which is liked by the hungry
and the hearty is made in this way:
Take some thin slices of cold roast beef,
brown them in butter, warm some cold
boiled potatoes which you have chopped
fine and seasoned well. Heat also cold
boiled cabbage chopped fine. When
these are all hot place a layer of meat in
a warm vegetable dish, then a layer of
the potato, then of the beef, then of the
cabbage, and so on until the dish is full.
Do this as speedily as possible so as to
send it hot to the table.
Hominy breakfast fritters help to mako the variety
for the table. Boil hom¬
iny the day before, ifcid small take two tea¬ of
cups of it, and stir a cup
sweet milk and a little salt with it, and
one egg, four tablespoonfuls of flour,
with half a teaspoonful of baking pow¬
der. Have your frying-pan ready with
the fat hot in it; drop this batter in by
spoonfuls, and fry a delicate brown. The
flavor is better if half butter and hall
lard is used, rather than all lard.
If you want to make excellent corn
bread see that the oven is hot enough
to cook the bread quickly without burn¬
ing it, and butter a deep iron bread-pan,
about four inches wide and eight inches
long. Scald a cupful of Indian-meal
with enough boiling water to make a
rather thin mush; with this mix a heap¬
ing teaspoonful of butter, and a level
teaspoonful of salt, melting the butter
in the hot mush; let ihe mush cool uutil
it is about lukewarm, and then stir into
it the yelks of four egg3 beaten for two
minutes; next beat tlio whites of four
eggs to a stiff froth, stir them very
gently with the mush; put it at once into
the buttered pau, and bake it in a hot
oven for about twenty-five bo minutes, into or it
until a broom straw can run
and be withdrawn clean: if tho bread is
browned before it is done, protect it
from burning by laying a sheet of bread but¬
tered paper over it. Serve the
either not or cold. It makes very nice
toast.
New England ginger cookies ought to
be mixed in the evening, allowed to
stand over night, and baked in tho morn¬
ing. Soften half a cupful each of lard
and butter until they can be smoothly
mixed with two cupfuls of molasses and
one cupful of milk; sift together one pint
of flour, a level tablespoonful of ground
ginger, a level teaspoonful of salt and
two heaping teaspoonfnls of baking
soda; then mix this flour with the
molasses and milk, and stir in enough
more plain flour to make the paste suffi¬
ciently stiff to roll out; let the paste
stand over night; the next morning roll
it out, cut it with a cookie-cutter, and
bake the cookies on a buttered and
floured baking-pan.
The Federal School-Teacher.
Senator Blair’s educational bill before
the U. S. Seuate, if it passes, will be, as
its author terms it, one of the most im¬
portant measures offered iu Congress
since the war. By tho bill the Govern¬
ment propose* to give a sum of 8105,
000,000 to the common schools of the
country, to be paid in ten annual in¬
stallments, beginning with fifteen mil¬
lions and dropping a million
a year. The first year under this
bill every State and Territory will
receive 83 for each person over ten years
of age who cannot read and 82,41 for
each person who cannot write. Tho
distribution will be ou the basis of the
statistics of illiteracy in the census of
1880. The disbursement of the money
is to be entirely in tlio hands of States
and Territories, which are to render
yearly reports, however, and to be liable
to a w ithdrawal of the fund by the Exec¬
utive subject to the action of Congress.
The hill prescribes that the money shall
be spoilt in teaching common-school
studies, but for the benefit of States not
really in need of help those receiving
small amounts are allowed to expend
them upon normal instruction, teaehers’
institutes, ete. The funds cannot be
used for building school-houses. One
feature of the bill which has caused a
groat deal of discussion in the Senate is
that which requires States to spend dur¬
ing the first five years at least one-third
ns much for educational purposes as the
amount received from the Government.
This has been criticised as too low a
figure, but the friends of the bill have
resisted all efforts to increase the
amounts raised by the States them¬
selves, ou tho ground that the South
is poor.

“ Having been afflicted for several years
past witn illness, the cause of which was uu
known to me for a long time, and my con
tinued disability getting to be of so serious
and distressing a character as to cause great
anxiety with my family and friends, I be¬
came satisfied upon close investigation that
the cause of my sickness was the diseased
condition of my kidneys and liver At this
time by accident a tr end who hail similar
symptoms to mine, informed me of the great
improvement in his health by taking Hunt s
Remedy, and persuaded me to tyy it. 1 im¬
mediately commenced faking it, and from
the first bottle began to improve, and its con¬
tinued use affords very encoura ;ing results,
lean sleep soundly, walk better, am free
from pains, and the severe attacks of head¬
ache lrom which I suffered so much have
disappeared, and I cheerfully recommend
Hunt’s Remedy for all purposes which it is
advertised. I will add in closing that my
wife has use l it very successfully for pre¬
venting the attacks of sick hi adaehe with
which she had been afflicted from youth.
Almost Disheartened.
A prominent citizen sends us the following
statement:
“ For several years I have been very seri¬
ously afflicted with a severe pain in the back,
which I long supposed to be lumbago the or
rheumatism of the back. More recently
pains had become more severe, so much so
that it was with difficulty that I was able to
get out of bed in the morning. I ha 1 tried
various remedies without any apparent of friend re¬
lief. By the earnest solicitation a
1 commenced taking Hunt’s Remedy, about
three weeks ago, and its instantaneous bene¬
fits are wonderful, for I have had no pains
in my back since taking the fiiyt three doses;
and am relieved from the pains, aches and
exhaustive weakness, the painful symptoms kid¬
that usually accompany disease of the
neys. And I confidently expect to be corn
pletely and permanently cured by the use of
it. 1 most cheerfully recommend Hunt’s
Remedy to all who are afflicted with any kid¬
ney or liver disease. ARNOLD,
