One spring day the mail brought me
a letter. It ran as follows*
Boston, May 1, 1872.
“Dear Cousin: I am sick of being
rich. I am heartily tired of being an-
heixess. I am disgusted with the
heartlessness of fashionable society.
I have been longing for a little peace
and quiet. I have come to hate my
self for leading such a thoughtless,
frivolous life, with snch a round of
senseless pleasures as there is in this
city. To tell you the truth, cousin
Frank, I am determined to reform. I
know the people here only care for me
because I am rich; so I have resolved
to become poor, Yes r cousin, I am
determined to become penniless.
“I am going to spend the summer
with you, on one condition. You
shall give out that I am a poor, very
poor relation of yours,- and that lam
coming to live with you. When I
come I shall have the privilege of go
ing into the kitchen, and working
when I please. I am resolved to be
come usefnl. And, perhaps, I shall
find there some young man who is wil
ling to marry me for myself, instead
of my money.
"Now, cousin, will you enter into
my little plot, and keep my secret?
If so, write me by return mail, for I
am all impatience. But remember
and keep my secret, cousin. Do not
forget to write immediately,
• "Bell Wyman.”
I could appreciate Ball’s feelings. I
bad seen enough of city life to be dis
gusted with it myself. Moreover, I
kuew Bell to be a noble-hearted, sen
sible girl, and I did not- hesitate. I
wro'.e her by return mail that I woo’d
keep her secret. In my bouse she
should have the privilege of being just
as poor as she pleased, and I could
give her full liberty in the kitchen.
After I bad mailed the letter I sat
down on the piazza and fell to imag
ining wliat funny or curious adven
tures might grow out of Bell’s plot.
Not having a brilliant imagination,
my progress was slow. But while
thus engaged I was startled by the
post-boy calling:
“Letter, sir!”
I went forward to the door and be
banded me a letter. I opened it and
read.
Chicago, April 25, 1872.
My Dear Friend:—I have seated
myself to write you, but I don’t know
how to begin. The fact is, I am tired,
I’m sick, I’m digested. Such rumble
and tumble as there is in city life!—
such frenzy and fury! such a wear and
tear, such a senseless going and com
ing, it is enough to make one mad!—
In fact, I believe the whole city is
inad with fashion and folly, and I want
to get out of it; so I have been think
ing I will come and spend the sum
mer with you. I shall start m about
ten days. I write this to announce
my coining, and to say that I am re
ally disgusted with wearing titles; so
you are only to know me as plain
Charles Sidney, a poor man from the
West I fancy I shall have a rich time
escaping tho flattery of those who
worship only money and position.—
And then, perhaps, I can find a sen
sible girl who \Mliall in love with i
poor man, and make him a good wife.
But I will tell you more about this
when I arrive. Burn this letter as
soon as I read it and keep my se
cret.
“Charles Sidney.”
I fancy there was a broad smile on
my face when I finished reading this
confidential epistle. It struck me that
it placed me In a novel position,
where I might see and enjoy some
fan. But I did not burn the letter.
I prized it too highly- I P at ifc witl)
Bell’s, and locked them up for future
reference.
-Something like a week after this I
■heard the depot coach rumble up to
;the door. I hastened to the entrance,
when who should I see but my twp
secret correspondents just alighting
from the ■ coach and coming up the
ciralk together. They Lad- arrived on
.the same train.- I felt Eke laughter.
Bat I managed to restrain myself, and
gave then an awkward introduction:
“Miss Wyman, Mr. Sidney.” And
so the little-drama --commenced.
"Frank, who is this Miss Wyman?”
said Mr. Sidney, ah hour after, when
I gave him a chance te talk with
me.
“Well, Charley, she is poor relation
of mine from the city. Her father
was very rich; but yon know that
ships laden with merchandise some
times go to sea and. are never heard
•of again; stores b*irn. down, and insu-
rance companies fail. In this way the
richest men, through no, fault of their

would be likely to remind her
it.”
“I will be very guarded, Frank,
must be a hard blow for lier to come
from the highest circles of city life
down to doing house-work in a coun
try kitchen.”
“That is true, Charley, but I think
yon will find her society very pleas
ant.
Ten minutes after I walked into the
parlor, where Bell was sitting
O Cousin Frank, yon don’t know
happy I am! I am glad to get oat of
the city, with its dreadful brick walls
the air is so sweet out here in the
country; besides I can do just as
choose. But I was afraid, cousin, yon
would not sanction my little plot, and
help me to play it out; but now you
have promised to do so, it is all right.
Won’t it be so nice, cousin?
“Of course it will be, Bell; bnt how
could yon doubt that I would help
you? You know I like a good time,
even if I am so much older than
you.”
“I know if, cousin. Father says
yon always were full of roguery and
mischief. He has told me enough of
your roguish scrapes to fill a library,
and I might have known that you
would help me out with the plot.—
Bnt cousin, tell me about this gentle
man you introduced mo to. Who is
he. anil what is he?”
“He is a very intimate friend of
mine, Bell, be if here from the West
to spend the summer. He was once
well off; bnt he has been unfortunate,
and now he is in very poor eirenm-
stances. He is here to recreate for
few weeks. Poor fellow! I pity him
for he is one of the finest yonng men
know.”
“He is real handsome, and he looks
intelligent. I think lie will be good
company, cousin, won’t he?”
“Yes; bnt be careful yon don’t be
come fascinated with him, for he is as
poor as he is proud.”
“Trust me for that, cousin. I im
agine there is no danger.”
“But there is, Bell, and be is terri
bly sensitive on the subject of the for
tune be he has lost. If yon were to
make the least allusion to It, or to bis
beiug poor, he would take great of
fense. ”
“Isn’t- it very strange he should feel
like that, cousin?”
“Yes, but it is his peculiarity, Bell,
and yon must hnmorit.”
“Poor fellow! I pity him, and I will
be careful not to refer to it.”
The next morning Bell was up with
the lark, and down in the kitchen,
singing ss merrily as a bird. Mr. Sid
ney, or rather Charley, as we shall
call him, took a ramble in the fields
and woods,, and returned with botan
icalan-1 mineral specimens. In the
afternoon I contrived to plan a drive
that included Bell and Gkariey in the
party. Before the day was over I had
the satisfaction of seeing that they
had beome well acquainted and were
the best of friends , Bell was true to
her purpose. She did not neglect the
kitchen.- No one could have guessed
from her appearance bnt that she was
one of my hired servants. She had
resolved to become useful, because it
suited her temperament. It was also
surprising to see how rapidly Charley
acquired a taste for household employ
ments. It was not a week before I
made the astounding discovery that
Bell was washing dishes in the kitch
en, while Charley was deeply interest
ed in solving the problem of wiping
and patting them away. The next
day I found him kneading dough
with an interest I never before thought
him capable of. Bell stood by and
directed the operation, and I could
not but think their destiny was being
kneaded into that pliable material.
I distinctly remember that I chuck
led to myself when I saw what was
going on. Nevertheless, I was obsti
nately blind, and did not see any
thing.
And so the same exercises went on
four months, bnt delightfully inter
spersed with music, moonlight rides
and rambles.
“That’s going to be a match, Frank,
said my wife to me one day.
‘Pshaw! there’s nothing in that,” I
replied. ‘1 don’t believe' a word of
it”
“Well, yon see if it does not prove
true! I never saw two persons more
in earnest in my life.”
O, fudge, Mary!” I replied; “yon
women see a thousand things that
never existed.”

The 15,000,000 or more of acres of
drained agricultural flower-pots, (for
all farmers’ crops bloom or flower,)
exist as a great-national mistake and
disgrace; and eqnally blameable is the
miserable five-inch agricultural pie
crust; for every one may learn by dig
ging, and every farmer ought to know
that the roots of cereals, and other
farm crops, and especially antiimn
sown wheat, descend deeply, and
mnek beyond the ploughed soil, in
search of moisture and food; and it is
because this aubsoil.is neither ssrated
or,so-manured that the wheats “go.
off” in May. The twenty rods of la
borers’ cottage garden, deeply culti
vated and highly manured by one
pig, or eight hundred pounds of meat

safely followed on the -largest farming
scale, provided, of course, that the
necessary capital can be found.—Ru

It’s What you Spends.
‘It’s what thee’ll spend, my son
said a sage old Quaker, “not what
thee’ll make which is to decide wheth
er thee’ll be rich or not.” Tlie ad
vice was trite—for it was but Frank
lin’s in another shape: “Take care of
the pennies, and the pounds will take
of themselves.” Bat it camot be too
often repeated. Men are continually
indulging in small expenses, saying to
themselves that it is only a trifle, yet
forgetting that the result is serious—
that even the sea shore is made of
petty grains of sand. Ten cents a day
is even thirty-six dollars and a half
year, and that is the interest of a cap
ital of six hundred dollars; and if in
vested quarterly, does not require half
that. But ten cents a day is child’s
play, some will exclaim. Well, tnen,
John Jacob Astor used to say when a
man who wishes to be rich had saved
ten thousand dollars, he has won half
the battle; Not that Astor thought
ten thousand much. But he kuew
that in having such a sum, a man ac
quired habits of prudent economy
which would constantly keep him ad
vancing in wealth. To save is the
olden rule to get lich. To squan
der, even in small sums, is the first
step toward the poor-house.
Meat for Fowls.
One subscriber asks what food will
induce fowls to lay; another asks
about scrap cake; another about bogs’
lights and similar offal. To those we
would a ay: It is the nature of fowls
to lay, and they cannot help it —the
eggs will come. Scanty fare will re
duce their laying propensities, and on
very short commons, eggs cease alto
gether. Rich food promotes the
tendency: certain seeds, like buck
wheat, sunflower and hemp seeds in
crease, and meat of any kind does the
same. All this, however, forces tho
fowls into an unnatural state, and or
dinarily shortens her life.. The eggs,
besides, have often a p lor flavor.. Oc
casional feeding-of fresh meat, like the
lights of liogs chopped fine, are Very
good in winter when the fowls find no
insect food. They need; besides,
hearty food in cold weather; especial
ly if they are not kept in warm kou-
In very cold weather, hens run
ning about and roosting in exposed
places, will not lay though, richly fed;
their food goes to keepingtliem warm

Early Rising Made Easy.
“My old friend,” said EoSsitor,
says a writer, “fixed his alarm so that
at the fore-ordained moment the bed
clothes were dragged frem the bed,
and Rossiter lay shivering.
“I have myself somewhere the draw
ings specifications for a patent, which
arranges a set of cams and wheelworks
under the bedstead, which at the ap
pointed moment lifts the pillow end
six feet, and delivers the sleeper on
his feet on the now horizontal foot
board .
“He is not apt to sleep long after
that.
“Rossiter found another contrivance
which worked better. The alarm-
clock struck a match, which lighted
the lamp which boiled the water for
Rossiter’s shaving.
“If Rossiter stayed in bed too long,
tbe water boiled over upon bis razor,
and clean shirt, and prayer-book his
mother gave him, and Coleridge’s au
tograph and his open pocket-book, and
nil the other prtcions things he could
put in a basin underneath when he
went to bed; so be had to get np be
fore that moment came.”
Confiscation by Taxation.
In Fail-field county, South Carolina,
19,999 acres of land, besides a num
ber of town lots and many dwellings,
is advertised for sale for taxes. This
is equal to four hundred farms of fifty
acres each, which will come under the
sheriff ’s hammer in. only, .one county.
More Indian On Ira gas.
Captain Carleton of the Tenth Cav
alry reports another outrage on Camp
Augur, Texas, committed by reserva
tion Indians.
This is the third time that reserva
tion Indians have fired into this camp
and then retired to the protection of
their reservation, where, under exist
ing orders, the troops cannot follow
them. In forwarding Captain Carle-
ton’s report to Army Headquarters,
General Sheridan indorses it as fol
lows: “Respectfully forward to the
Headquarters of the Army, requesting
that-it be ascertained if there: is any
objection on the part of the Indian
Bureau to the troops pursuing-the In
dians and punishing them.”
“This is the third or - fourth attack
made by the reservation Indians on
the camp oh the Red River,- and it is
time some measure be taken to stop
■them.” ..
The Everlasting Juntel Case.
Now that the celebrated Jumel will
case is ended, and George Washing
ton Bowen-ftraver restrained from in
terfering with the present possessors,
the Chases, it may be interesting to
give a full outline sketch of one of the
most prolonged aDd notorious trials in
American jurisprudence. Madame Ju
mel was originally a courtesan of
Providence, Rhode Island. She came
to New York with Monsieur Jumel, a
wealthy Frenchman, and finally in
duced him to marry her. When he
died he left her all his property, which
fact tempted Aaron Burr, then an old
bean of broken fortunes to court her.
One, evening, before she had accepted
him, he brought a minister to the
house, pressed his snit impetuously,
won consent in a sadden freak, mar
ried her, and was divorced soon after
Madame Jumel bequeathed hermoney
to an adopted child, who- married a
Chase. George Washington Bowen
claimed to be an illegitimate son of
Madame Jnmel, and to inherit through
his mother, and that the will devising
the propervy to the Chases was ob
tained through undue influence. He
has been defeated. The estate is worth
six million dollars.

naturally suppose that ha would at
tend bis patient and then go about
bis business. That shows that you
are not smart. In the elevator the
doctor notices a pleasant young man,
begs his pardon, asks his name, finds
that he is a guest in the house; begs
his pardon again, bnt notices that the
yonng man’s breathing is peculiar;
asks him if, when he walks rapidly up
stairs, he does not suffer from beating
of his heart, and then proceeds to as
sure him that he is very sorry to in
form him that he has at some time,
by running or other effort, strained
his heart. He knows it withoiu ask
ing questions—just by looking at bis
face; resided abroad for several years:
made diseases of the heart a-special
study; would be glad to examine his
heart—would do it without charge.—
That young man is now under Dr. A.’s
treatment, with the comforting assu-
ance that in three months he will be
as well as though he had never strained
his heart.
When the doctor sitting by the bed
side of his regular patient, who, he
says, had three months ago the most
fearful enlargement of the heart that
he ever met- in all his practice, but
whose heart is now the natural size,
and will, after few more weeks of
eareful watching, be as safe as his
own heart—while sitting by bis pa
tient’s bedside, feci his pulse and con
gratulating himself that he conld now
think off him without that shudder
which came over him a hundred times
a day when he was first called to see
tbe case, he asked the patient who
that tall, pale lady was that he passed
in the halL Upon being informed
that it was Mrs. M., a fellow-boarder
and a particular friend, who had in
fact just left his room as the doctor
was about to enter, Dr. A. then pro
ceeds to inform his patient with the
Wonderfully reduced heart that he has
been recently devoting all the spare
hours which he could manage to take
from his arcluons professional labors
and necessary sleep, in examining the
evidences of a new and singularly fa
tal disease of the kidneys. In fact,
the microscope which ho had been
using in the prosecution of those
studies (one he obtained some years
ago in Vienna) was the most powerful
in the country, and his devotion to its
use had greatly weakened the optic
nerve of his right eye, etc., etc.; bn*
that be had noticed that the skin of
that lady’s face showed unmistakable
evidence that she was the victim of
that disease in its incipiency.
It took a little time and a good deal
of management, bnt when the doctor
now goes to that private hotel, he
never fails to call upon that lady
among his other patients. At this
present writing, that doctor has six
patients in that hotel, and ho sees
them all daily, and watches them all
with an interest which is touching,
not to say painfnl.
Now that is what I call smart. That
doctor will always have a good busi
ness, and indeed can make a good liv
ing out of a single hotel, A lady told
me the other day that he knew she
had a peculiar aud dangerous disease
of the spleen by just glancing at her
face in the street.

The Apache even never
pitched his tent on the spot so thickly
strewn with fragments of the work of
a penshed race. The principal rain is
a parallelogram fortification, six hun
dred feet in width "by sixteen houdred
feet in length. The walls, which were
built of stone, have long been over
thrown, and are overgrown by trees
and vines. In many places a mere
ridge indicates the line of the wall,
the stones having disappeared nnder
the surface. Within the enclosed area
are the renhuns of a greate- structure,
200 by 260 feet, constructed of rough
ly hewn stones. In some places the
walls remain nearly perfect to a hight
of some twelve feet' above the sur
face.
On the east side of the “grauda
casa” there are two openings of an
oval shape which doubtless served the
purpose of windows. On the inner
sides of the wall of the palace, for
snch it donbtless was, there are yet
perfectly distinct tracings of the im
age of the sun. There are two towers,
at the sontheast and southwest cor
ners of the great inclosures, still stand
ing, one of which is twenty-six and
the otuer thirty-one feet high. These
have evidently been much higher, as
the broken tops and the amount of
debris i-eur their base indicate. A few
copper instruments, and some golden
ornaments—one being an image of the
sun with a perforation in the middle—
and some stone utensils, and two
rudely-carved stone vases, much like
those fouud at Zupetaro and Copan,
in Central America, are all the works
of art yet discovered. No excavations
have been made as yet to discover the
character of these ruins. The ruins
are situated in a small plain, elevated
nearly two hundred feet above the
bed of the Gila. Just west of the
walls of the fortification there is
beautiful stream of water, having its
source in the mountains, which cross
es the plain, and by a series of catn
racts falls into the Gila about two
miles below.
The fragments of pottery and pol
isbed stone reveal a condition of civi
lization among the builders of these
ruins analogous to that of the ancient
Peruvians, Central American andMex
lean nations. The country in the ..
c-inily of this buried palace is particn
larly wild, and unusually desolate.
No clue to tbe builders of this great
fortified palace, with its towers and
moat, has been, or is likely ever to be
discovered. There is one thing, how
ever, made apparent, that is, that this
whole country was once peopled by
race having a higher grade of civiliza
tion than is fonnd among any of the
native tribes of the later ages. Bnt
whether tins race were the ancestors
of the Pimos, or some extinct people,
is not, and cannot certainly be known!
The ruins on the Gila are another un
covered PaleDqne, another, Copan, an
Atlan exposed at last to bewilder and
confound. It is understood Hmf. these
extensive ruins will be thoroughly ex
plored within the present year.

Practical Jake by a Fish.
.A gentleman living on the Savan
nah river, in Georgia, was in the hab
it of sending his negroes down the
river to fish with nets, as the tide
served. On one occasion, two of his
boys reached the fishing ground be
fore tbe tide had fallen sufficiently
for their purposes. Coffee always
goes to sleep when he lias nothing
else to do. So pushing a pole iqto
the mud they tied the canoe thereto,
and lying down intended to sleep unfcd
the tide served. But along came a
huge devil-fish, which nibbed up the
pole, and tucking it under his flipper,
began towing the canoe and its con
tents toward the deep water.
When the negroes awoke they were
well-nigh terrified out of their wits.
They were proceeding to sea at about
the rate of four miles an boor, but the
power propelling the canoe was whol
ly invisible. The first impulse was to
jump overboard, but it occurred to
them in time, fortunately, that they
were unable to swim. Finally the
rope by which the devil-fish was tow
ing them was cat, and they reached
the land in-a pitable state of tei
ror..
