BY THE DANBURY NEWS MAN.
The chief charm ofhavincr a gar
den of your own is the fr sh state
of the vegetable which daily garnish
your table. ‘ Any one who has al-!
wats depended upon a s ore for hi-1
supply do ’8 not have the fiimest
conception of ihe superior flavor,
tone and elasticity of vegetables
guaranteed fresh every m trning
from your own garden. Aside from
litis benefit gardening is the most
healthgivingi occupation known to
man, unless we except that of physi
cian. Which we don't. There is a
man who lives on the other side of
ihe street who has a gard -n and
fresh vegetables every day, our folks
say. We don’t know anything
about that* but we do know he has
a garden, because we see him out
in it every morning, ’in shirt sleeves
and slippers, picking.cucumbers and
squish bugs. We know when he
gets hold of one by th; way he shuts
his mouth and fingers. Someiim a
he doesn’t catch ihe one he is after
and sometimi a he makes a half dox
en passes at one bug. Every time
he makes one of those pisses he says
something. The (first remark is not
very plainly heard, but the next is
quite so, and the observation that
fol ows after the sixth unfortunate
pass, appears to go completely
through our head He jumps
around this way for about an hour,
and having got his blood up 10 fever
heat, goes in drinlw a cup of boiling
coffee, and then goes to business.—
At noon he goes out there to kill a
Couple more bugs but doesn’t do it.
He finds two bens from the next
house* in the cucumber patch. They
have scratched down the cod earth
an<l thrown the parched soil of two
cucumber hillsover their backs, and
with one eye do-ed in s speculative
way, are thinking of the intense
heat and the short grass orop.—
hen they see him and the prepa
lions of w elcome he has hastily got
together, they get un and leave.—
Th*-first thing ne throws at theta
knork a lim from a choice pear tree,
and ihe nex thing, which is general
ly a pail, goes through a glass cover
tp some oh sice flower seeds, and
loses its bail. He then goes into the
house and gets sbme more boiling
coffee, and st»ys the man next d< or
is something we never put in print,
and gees to business again. At

un il suppi r time, and then goes in
with his fiugets smelling as if he bad

* r ,rson Tempkias’ Wig.
J* ifniah Tompki..s wasaMetbo
■ii.-sr clergyman. He was a jolly,
i t t cfl old gentleman, lull ol
Sonic*. #nd wore a wig. The par-
M n f licitated hi uaelf upon ihe fact
th t tne wig was a profound seciet;
k iown only to himself and his God ;
but Harry Johnson, son of a class
leader, at whose fapuse be was wont
o stop in his peregrinations, bad,
in an unlucky moment, discovered
the aecrM. *« ' 5 ‘r 110 f
This Harry was a mischievous,
wicked lad, who feared neither
Johnson, Sr , nor tbe devil, and ha
ted ibe parson must supremely.
The padton had, a number oi
years previous, buried his wife,
and Madame Rumor had it that he
was looking around sharply for Mrs.
Tompkins Pid. 2.
In fact, >e wag geihercQy
posed to have serious designs upori
Widow Jon**, who wse s reguhir
attendant at ckoreh when the par-
; son conducted tbe servici-s, and in
variably occupied a se it immediate
ly in front of the pulpit.
The pirso’sjei black wig added
immensely to tns personal appear
ance, and all the while he w.-.s prac
ticing the harmle-s delusion that no
| mortal except himself knew it v as a
wig ; but, alas! H irry knew it.
I Once a month the parson preacli
jedai Bethel Shool-houso, and ali
the country turned out lo hear him,
for he wasregtrded as a wonderful!
minister b cause he could rave, foam,
and shake his fist all at once. At
tbe conclusion of hU sermou, he nev
er failed lo give the juveniles a lec
ture. The history of the bad boys
wh > were destroyed by bears f P
mooking Elijah was a favorite piece,
Harry had got tired of it. The par
son had an ugly habit of looking
Harry square in the face during its
reeital, aqd that irrepressible youth
swcrO vengeance.
On n ceriain Sabbath the parson
stopped as usual.it Johnson’s and re
tired to his room to lake a nap before
■ >rVices. Bolting the door ad cau
tiously divrs.ing himself of the w ig,
he was soon wrapped in slumber.
Harry having secured a horse hair,
entered the charaner of the sleeping
clergym and inserted it in the most
vital part of the wig and then qui
etly retired through the window.
It was an old connty scho d-house
built of logs. Harry secured a po
sition outside, within a foot of the
parson’s head The parson runted
through two dreadful during
which Hurry kept watch and ward
over that horse hair. Then they
kneeled and prayed. By a quick
movement Harry grasped the hors'-
hair, and quickly attaching a thm
thrend to it, afiain concealed him
self and awaited the course of
events. The parson began his ta'k
to the boys. In front sat Widow
Jones all attention. Bad boy* to
right and left of her.
Tbe parson approached Elijah and
and the boys and the bears with a
great flourish. The bys were
mooking the prophet, and saying
“go up old bald-head,’’ wh> n at the
word < ‘bald h ad ” Harry gave a
quick jerk and the parson’s wig
trembled a roo t ent, rose an inch,
stood bolt upr ght, and then went
thundeiing on the floor, in front of
the pulpit. The Widow Jones nev
er became Mrs. Tompkins. —Ex
change.
Whom the God’s Love.
There was onee a young and love
ly boy, whose mother parted his
hair down the middle, ana occasion
ally hit him in the back with a flat
iron. There was also a bad, wick
ed, and depraved boy, about whom
I, at ihe momcn', do not recollect
any further particulars. Th se two
were brought up together, and si
multaneously a piece. Ob, how
that bad, wicked, and depraved boy
kicked up his heels. The good boy
-miled the wnile seraphic dly and
slobbered. The bad b y then went
straightway and laid out his money
in all manner and kind# of na ty,
indigestible me-s-s, hardbake cocoa
nuis (he bought fourteen of these),
bull's eyes, 8 ick liccorice, tamarinds
and Australian beef The boy fell to.
and gorged hideously upon these
things, aid so exhausted his Itiili
capital, coming to the good boy
when it was all gone with a long
and pitiful face. “Ah I” said the
good boy, “had you not spent your
sovereign thus foolishly yon would
have had it now, as 1 have mine. In
stead of buying hardbake—a thing
I never touch, except when it is
given to me—you might have be
stowed five shillings upon tbe Soci
i v for supplying Wooden-legged In
fidels with worsied slippers: instead
of buying cocoa nuts, you might
have dropped anoiher five bob into
the dohat ion-box of the Hospital for
Paralysed Shakers; and, instead
oLwasl ng ihe other ten shillings in
thp way you have, you might have
done 1 don’t know what that was
good and kind and generons and no
ble,” The bad boy, coufused and
counfounited, turned away his head
and wept bitter tears. Then the
good boy went out for a stroll, feel
ing ever so muoh gooder for having
said what he had, on his way acci
dentally dr-pped his own sovereign
dpwn a sewer grating.— Puttch.
A Sad Affair.
Three Children Smothered in a
Sand Heap.
From tbe Columbus Wis. ‘‘Dem
ocrat” of the 20th oil. w« make up
the'following'.
The Sum and the commodious
home steed of Hsnry Nienteyer are
situated two mUei from tins village
ob tbs rand towards Hampden.
List Monday aftermvnr Mr”. N e ne
jyr s iw three of fu r little buys ut tbe
jlron' giue. Th" youngest w;n cry
ing, and she sent the sister Enuna
jon to quiet him. This was ijie lust
time she ever saw three of tterj chil
dren aVe. Thirty or forty rod.--
from tbe. hou-e.nnd three or fopr rod
back from the highway ta a little
knoll which contains good sand,
many loads of which have been
drawn away from ti ne to time. Th*
excavation which rema ns is trfling
however, and a passer-by would as
soon expec t danger to be lurking Jn
a dooryard a-, in that s'ight depres
sion. Formerly this bad.- been a
favori e resort lor the. children, but
they had beert fol-bidden tb' go
there, and had even been punished
for so doing, and had not visited the
place for some time. Doubt less .they
wandered down that way, and coura
not resist the fascination thit sauji
has for all tiny ban Is. ....
That forenoon Mr. Sharkweathej,
without Mr. Niemeyet’s knowledge,
ha I sent a man to the spot after one
or more loads. Probably the caViiy
left was hardly of sufficient size to
b ick a cart into. The surface is of
elayorlo im; the ruins of Saturday
night had rendered it heavier than
usual, and it fell just at that lime, of
all others, when these innocents
were beneath it. Thus, suddenly
their p'ay-house became their tomb.
How long they remained there h not
exactly known. Tbeie was an in
terval of something more than an
hour between their leaving the gate
and their discovery. The little boy
Willie, who was taken out alive,
heard teams passing at intervals
along tbe road, but. partly covered
as he was, his cries were too feeble
to aitraot attention. Once Emma
called, and said faintly through ihe
Sind; “Willie, whe-e afß you?”
The child anßwe ed, ‘‘Her j as well
as he could. Afterwards he caught
the words, ‘ Are you going hornef”
Then followed for some lime a
sound of sobbing a catching for
breath, and then all was still.
■*lV Niemeyer was at work about
' & arn bouse, and several
times asked for the children. - Pres
ently an elder sister who was sent
to look for them went to the sand
pit. Only a portion of Wilie’s hair
was visible through the day, and
his exhausted cries were hardly au
dible. The saw the whole disaster
tn a moment and gave the alarm.
The oasting aside of,two or tbr?e
handfuls of earth uncovered Willi’es
head. He was alive and ran nim
bly eway as he was pulled from the
•and.
It was the work oply of a moment
to scrape away the clay and sand to.
the next one, but alt the others were
dead—Otto, aged 3 years and 5
months, Emma, and' Oscar, the
baby.

Core of Stammering.
Very gratifying results have been
obtained by Mr. Chervin a physi
cian of Lylns, in t eating the vi
cious habit of stammering. A com
mission appointed to investigate the
working of Dr. Chervin’s system,
put under his treatment eight pa
tients, varying in age from ten to
twenty-nine year*, all Os tinhorn
stammered in their speech to smosi
painful degree. Some of the pa
tients had been stammerers from
their early infancy, while other#
owed the habit to nervous shock,
lo ten days after tney were first
placecf under the cate of M- Chevio
they were all able to speak without
stammering, and at the end of three
weeks were discharged perfectly
cured. Tbe mode of treatment is
as follows : ’ * &'•••
The patient is taught, by means
of a large number of exercises, to
pronoqnce with distinctness vowels,
consonauts, syllables and sentences.
Great attention is paid to he regu
lating the act of inspiration.
A slow but normal inspiration is
taken at certain intervals, and this
issucceeded by an even, continuous
and loud' expiration; during which
pronunciation s effected. Twenty
days are d? voted to the treatment,
the time being divided into three pe
riods; one of silence, to up
the old habit; one in which the pa
tient is taught to speak slowly and
deliberately ; and a third, ’ wherein
he acquires the practice of speaking
fluently, and without clipping his
words.
How to Livb Economically. —
The problem of how to economize
in living is one that engages the- se
rious attention of a great many peo
ple. ; “Many a little makes a mickle”
was, one of Benjamin Franklin’s
•‘Popr Richard” truisms that sum
marizes the.whole system of popular
extravagance. If you wish to save
money, economize in little as well
as in large items of expenditure.
