A Itoynl Qunrtottc.

a short thno ago, while threo crowned
heads of Europe wero there on a visit to
his Imperial Majosty, Napoleon, These
distinguished persons were the Emperors
of Russia and Austria, and tlio King of
Prussia. Ono day. having thrown aside
all state ceremonial, they determined to
sco tho sights of the beautlthl city on tlio
Solno, for tlielr own delectation, and for
that purposo they determined to go incog.,
so as not to bo recognized by tlio people.
However, in their stroll through Paris,
they went; astray, and mectiug a genteel
ly looking person, who happened to bo an
Irishman, they politely asked him if lie
would kindly direct them to tlio Palais

ducted to tlio gates of tho ltoval Palace,
and tho Irishman was about bidding them
farewell, when tho Emperor of Russia, in
terested; and pleased as much by the gen
uine politeness of Pat, aS by his naivete
and witty remarks, asked him who . he
was.
“ 'Well,” rejoined their guide,. “ I did
not ask who you were, and before I
answer you, perhaps you would tell me
who you may lie.”
Alter some further parleying, ono said,
“ I am Alexander, and they call mo ,tho
Czar or Emperor of nil tho Russians.”
“Indeed,” said Pat, with a roguish
twinkle in the corner of his eyc;'and ah in
credulous nod of tlio head (as if to say :
“ Tliis hoy is up to codding mo-, a bit.*”)
“And might I make bold enough to nsli
who you lie, my tlowcr ?”
“ They call liic Francis Joseph j tlio Em
peror of Austria.”
“Most happy to make your acquain
tance,Frank, niy boy,” says tlio Irishman,
who, thinking he was hoaxed, and hi his
despairing efforts to get the truth, ns lie
conceived, out of any of them, turned to
the third one, and said, “Who are you V”
“(They call mo Frederick William, and
I am King of Prussia.”
They then reminded him that lie had
promised to tell them who ho was, and af
ter some hesitation, nnd with a mysterious
air of confidence, Pat, putting his hand to
ids mouth, wliispered : “lam the Eiu-
ror of China; but don’t tell anybody.”

A cistern or tank, of from two to four
hogsheads, should be constructed in the
vicinity of tlio sink or laundry of every
farm-house, and a system of conductors so
arranged as to lcnd’tho suds and slops in
to it as they are made.
This liquid matter is a powerful fertili
zer, containing the food of plants in a state
of solution, and consequently in a eofidi-
tion to be readily taken up and absorbed
by vegetables as soon ns applied.
Irrigating gardens with soapsuds, after
the' liquid has become stale, is a powerful
uieaus of promoting vegetahio growth, es
pecially in dry weather. Some have con
sidered tlio value of suds to be equal to
that of the same weight of manure; this,
however, is probably au exaggerated esti
mate, yet we want no additional corrobo
ration to satisfy us of its intrinsic worth
as a vegetable stimulant.
Great care should be observed that the
decaying matter and sudsdo.not taint the
air about tho dwelling, ns in the process
of fermentation and decomposition sulphu
retted hydrogen gas is thrown oil’.. This
is an active poison. When inhaled, it acts
directly upon’the blood, thickening it and
turning it black. A single gallon of it,
mixed with 1,200 of air, will render it poi
sonous to* birds, nnd one gallon in 100 will
kill a dog. Many of our peoplo are not
sufficiently careful, abdut allowing filch
“sinks of iniquity” to exist about their
dwellings.—New England Farmer,
It is a good sign to sod a man do an act
of charity—a bad sign to heat him boast
of it.
It is a good sign to sco a man wipe tlio
perspiration from his brow—bad to sec
him wipe life lips as lie comes out of a cel
lar.-
It is a good sign to sec a man advertise

It is a good sign to sec a woman dressed

' EiiilaTution from ('utmtlfi.
The emigration from Canada to tho U»-
ited..Statesstill continues, and even increa
ses. ’ Tho roads leading to Vermont are
full of wagons and carts, heaped with tho
household goods and wives and children,
living from a section of country where
starvation threatens them to our hospita
ble Helds and towns. One sentiment, it is
said, seems to animate them. Canada,
they say, needs annexation to the United
States to restore her prosperity. These
emigrants are mostly of French descent,
and therefore perhaps, should not be tak
en as a criterion for others. ^

“ The peoplo had Better have a prince

‘Do not tlio days seem long after tho ex
citement of tho city?’ said Jack.
Till, no,’ said Jennie; ‘it has bco.i very
pleasant here, nnd I have enjoyed''rustica
ting iflnnenseiy. In fact I prefer tlie coun
try to tho city. ’
‘When do yon go bank to the city?'
‘In two weeks,’ with a little sign.
‘So soon?' exclaimed Jack. ‘Well, the
best of friends must part, whether it he
for a season or forever. ’
Jennie Lee looked up suddenly; hut Jack
wns looking away across the Holds, nnd
sho could read nothing in Ills face.
•I dislike very much to leave this old
farm house. I'liavu been so contented and
happy in this quiet retreat, that I really
dread going back to tho noise and bustlo
of the city.’
‘Why not stay,’said Jack Ainsly, still
looking at tho far oil' hills. ‘Hut no, 'tis
bettor that you should go. The subjects
nre impatient for tho appearanco of their
queen.’
Jennie Lee made no reply, hut sat mak
ing a bonnet of sweetbrier.
‘Mr. Ainsly,’ she said after along pause;
‘you do not think I will forget my acquain
tances kern?’
‘The pcopleln the country nro wcllcnougli
to visit, nnd the young men’s hearts are
ensily ensnared by a rosy check and the
practised wiles, of a stranger. ’ .
‘I never forget a friend, aud since I hay
been here I havo como to regard you as
such; therefore l will remember you.’
Was sho only drawing him on. Jack
was undecided whether to make the avowal
his heart prompted or keep the secret ill
Ids own breast. Filially removing his gaze
from tho distant hills, ho ilxed Ids eyes
upon her face, and said slowly nnd earn
estly: . . - ,
‘Jennie Leo, I,have known you only a
few months; bittern that timo I nave learn
ed to lovo you/as I never thought I could
lovo a woman. You say you disllko to go
hack to the city. F ask you to stay.—
There is a vacant scat at the table and at
the hearth, nml an unfilled plnco In my
heart. Will yon (111 them?’ .
• She did not answer for some Umo. Thou
looking up sho held out her hand nnd said,
‘I will. ’ % ■
Thus thoy were engaged. The days
slipped liy and Jennie Leo returned to her
home. Letters came regularly for a time;
then at long intervals, and finally ceased
altogether. Xot long after he rend Jcunio
Lee’s marriage in tlie paper.
‘Tho sweetbrier wns omhlenmtie,’ ho
said, bitterly; ‘beautiful hut dangerous,’

His friends often wonfler why lie ridicules

Ilis laugh 1ms lost its' merry ring, and
there Is no more of tlio old Hash and spirit

Should au acquaintance tread on your

minds—don’t think of it—I don’t caro at

if a child, ho is chastised.
A gentleman stops at a friend’s house,
nnd finds it in confusion. “ lie don’t sco
anything to apologize for—everything iq
all right,” cold supper—cold room—cry
ing children—“perfectly comfortable.”

care of the sick ones, aud workud her life
almost out. “ Don’t seo why tilings can’t

such cross children before.” No apolo
gies, except away from homo.
Wily not bo polite at-home ? Why not
use freely tho goldeu coin of courtesy ?
How sweet thoy sound, those little words,
“1 thunk yon,” or “ \ on nro very kind,”
Doubly, yes, trebly sweet from tho lips wo
love, when henrtsmilcs nmko tho oyo spar

Bo pollto to your children. ' Do yon ex
pect them to be mindful of your welfare,
to grow glad at your appearance, to bound
away before your request Is half-spoken ?
Then, with all your dignity and authority,
mingle politeness. Give it a niello In your
household temple. Only then vylll you
havo thi) secret of sending out into tho
world really finished gentlemen otal la

Again, wo say unlq all, be polite.
