A Flemming, " n ' Roberts, Cotton Factor. 1874—At Written for the Herald it Geougian. The Supper. Just after having bid farewell to all that was both near and dear to me I sat out on my journey. A shoe coming loose from the fore-foot of the thill-horse, at the beginning of the ascent of Mount Taurira, the postilion dismounted, twisted the shoe off and put it in his pocket. As the ascent was of five or six miles and that horse our main dependence I made u point of having the shoe fastened on again as well as we could but the postilion had thrown away the nails, and the hammer in the chase-box being of no great use without them, I submitted to go on He had not mounted half a mile higher, when coming to a flinty piece of road the poor l)evii lost a second shoe and from off his other fore foot. I then got out of the chaise in good earnest, and seeing a house about a quarter of a mile to the left hand, with a great deal to do, I pre vailed upon tiie postilion to turn up to it. The look of the house, and everything about it, as we drew near, soon reconciled me to the disaster. It was a little farm house, surroun ded with about twenty acres of vine yard, about as much corn, and close to the house, on one side was a pot- ageria of an acre and a half, full of everything which could make plenty in a Trench peasant house ;—and, on the side, was a little wood, which fur nished wherewithal to dress it. It was about eight in the evening when I got to the house,—so I left the postilion to manage his point as he could, and, for mine, I walked direct ly into the house. The family consisted of an old gray-headed man and his wife, with live of his sons and sons-in-law r , and their several wives, and a joyous ge- neology out of them. They were all sitting down togeth er to their lintil-soup, a large whea- ten loaf was in the middle of the ta ble, and a flagon of wine at each end of it promised joy through the stages of the repast—’twas a feast of love. The old man rose up to meet me, and with a respectful cor— dialit) 7 , would have me sit down at the table; my heart was set down the moment I entered the room, so I sat down at once like a son of the family, and to invest myself in the character as speedily as I could, 1 instantly boiTOwed the old man s taking up the loaf, cut eh,Pres. _ j jy . > ?

ALL OPERATIONS PERFORMED Tlli ' ' jI0ST SCIENTIFIC MANNER AND WORK a P r 9, 1875—tf did it, I saw eye, not only of an honest welcome, but of a welcome mixed with thanks that I had not seemed to doubt it. H as it this, or tell me, nature, what else it was, that made this morsel so sweet, and to what magic I owe it, that the draught I took of then flag on was so delicious with it, that they remain upon my palate to this hour ? If the supper was to my taste, the "race which followed it was much more so. The Grace. jghen supper was over the old man gave a ‘ knock upon the table with the haft of his knife, to bid them prepare for the dance. The mo ment the signal was given the wo men and girls ran all together into a back apartment to tie up their hair, and the young men to the door to wash their faces, and change their sabolts, and in three minutes every soul was ready upon a little espla nade before the house to begin. Ihe old man and bis wife came out last, and placing me betwixt them sat down upon a sofia of turf by the door. The old man had some hfty years ago been no mean performer on ’ WARRENTED. Hymen All nations have added their quan tum of superstition to the institution of marriage. That this particular event in man’s life should be thus favored above the rest may be ac counted for by its immense impor tance, and by the fact that all other events in the life of man are more or less connected with it. In the middle ages it was firmly believed in England that there were lucky anil unlucky days for a wedding. He who married on Wednesday ran the risk of being deceived by his wife, while he who married on Friday would be certain to die a poor man. A jour nal in Paris actually published the dates of these unlucky days, which were forty-two in number. M any old country folk will to this day tell you that when two betroth ed give each other their hands before the altar, the one whose hand is the coldest will die first—especially if the same one should be the first to fall asleep on the bridal night. An other curious belief is that often ex pressed at English weddings: ‘‘Ah ! the bride shall weep, for the rain loth fall. ’ In the Vosges it is still believed that when two marriages take place on the same day, and in the same church, the bride who first steps out of the church porch will have a boy for her first born child. So strong does that belief exist that it gives rise to terrible quarrels, and even fights—the friends of the res pective parties doing all in their pow er to aid their own bride to leave the church first, to the detriment of the other. Only a few years ago, a mayor in a certain village in the Vosges had the following luminous idea, and thus prevented a most serious riot on the occasion of a double marriage. He offered his two hands to the rival brides, and thus triumphantly led them out of the church at the same moment. If, while going to church, the bridal party should meet a fu neral, it is supposed that, according to the sex of the dead, either the bride or her husband will die first. Should two persons of the same fam ily intermarry with two members of another family, one of the four is certain to die within the year. In Brittany if one of the contracting parties would not have their children born mutes, they must fast during the ceremony; while in the provin ces of Arragon a couple become man and wife by simply drinking to gether from the same glass. In another province the newly- Wedded pair must b-; struck sharply between the shoulders to preserve them from the Evil Eye ; or, again, with the same idea, some ornament of their dress is stolen from them the moment after the nuptial bles sing has been given. Another man ner of securing the happiness of the bride was to cause her to pass over naked swords arranged in the form of a cross, and called the cross of St. Andrew. In the Province of Ar ragon, in order to ensure a large family, the bride, on entering her house for the first time was bound either to break an egg by kicking it, or to have some wheat thrown over her These are but a few of the su perstitions still believed in some parts of Europe. ^ A Thoughtful Husband. If he had confined kimself to his legitimate quill-driving duties there would have been no occasion for him to be strutting around with his left hand in a sling, a patch on his nose and pn absurd old gum shoe on one foot. He was, however, on ly another victim to that egotistical opinion of all men, that they can do anything better than a woman. He went home, yesterday, and found his wife putting up peaches in those old-fashioned tin cans that are clos ed with sealing-wax. She had an old apron on, and two or three little splotches of sealing-wax ornament ed the floor, while the cat under the table was licking a piece the size of a postage stamp, on her back, with great assiduity. “See here, Maria,” said he, “you will cripple yourself with that hot wax directly,” but as she made no answer, he continued, oracularly, IVomen never have any mechan ical genius, any way. If there’s a way of doing anything wrong the) are sura to try it.” Do you think you can do it any better?” she observed, with some acidity. “ JVhy, of course I can.” “ Well, here, just distinguish your self then.” So he sat down. She handed him a fresh can, just out of the hot wa ter. He took it in his hand, and dropped it as though it had been streak of lightning, while he stuck his fingers in his mouth and looked sudden death to her because he could not swear. She gave him towel to hold the next one with and he took it on his knee, lighted the sealing-wax stick and commenced prodding around the top, but the bottom burnt his knee and he jerk ed, bringing the burning wax stick across the back of his left hand Then he jumped up and howled dropping the can which emptied spoonful of boiling preserves into his slipper. This made him frantic and he went dancing about the kitchen like an inebriated dervish, waving the burning wax until a drop took him on the nose. In his agon he kicked the offending can through the window, scattering its contents over the dog, who rushed into the street howling and raised an alarm of mad dog that occupied the atten tion of all the people within three squares. Then he submitted to be laid upon the sofa and plastered with flour and sweet oil until he looked like a badly repaired scare crow. He is now willing to take an affidavit the size of a barn door that he will hereafter let the women be as awkward as they choose.—Eas ton Free Press. We are touching our fellow-beings on all sides.

Each farm is a world itself about which those who have lived upon it know little or nothing comparatively. Suppose for example, we were to ask how many kinds of grasses —real grasses —grow on your farm—could you tell, with their corect names, habits ami history? Suppose we ask how many species of birds visit your farm every year, the time of their arrival and departure, their habits while from your locality the balance of the year—could you tell us? Suppose we ask you how many species of in sects are to be found on your farm their names, history habits whether injurious to you or not, upon what trees or plants they live, when and how often they appear, and how long they stay—could y ou tell? Suppose we ask you to show us specimens of grasses and other plants, the birds insects, etc, which may be gathered in your boundary fences could you show them to us? And yet if you were to undertake to acquire the knowledge we > ave suggested by these inquiries, you would find your life to short; yet the knowledge you would, gain the interest you would soon take in it, and the knowledge of your own impotenev you will ac quire would prove to you that it is not the farm that is a dull place but it is you who are dull.—Rural Neio Yorker. How Truffles Did It. From the Heic York Observer. I returned to Ashville after an absense of three years and found my friend Truffles grown fat and jovial with face the very mirror of peace and s If satisfaction, Truffles was the village baker, and he was not iike this w'en I went away. “Truffles,” said I, “how is it? you have improved.” “Improved! How?” “Why in every way. What have you been doing?” Just then a little girl came in with a tattered shawl and barefoot ed to whom Truffles gave a loaf of bread. “Oh, dear, Mr.Tru flies,” the child said with brimming eyes, as she took the loaf of bread; “mam tna is getting better, and she says she owes so much to you. She blesses you indeed she does.” “That’s one of the things I’ve been doing,” he said after the child bad gone. “You are giving the suffering fam ily bread?” I queried. “Yes.” “Have you any more cases like that?” “Yes, three or four of them. I give them a loaf a day, enough to feed them.” “A d you take no pay?” “Not from t> em.” “Ah! from the town?” “No; here,” said Truffles, laying his hand on his breast. “I’ll' tell you,” he added smiling. “One day over a year ago a poor woman came to me and asked for a loaf of bread which she could not pay for—she wanted it for her poor suffering chil dren. At first I hesitated, but final- 1 I gave it to her, and as her bless-; ings rang in my ears after she gone, I felt my heart grow warm.— Times were hard, and there was a good deal of suffering, and I found myself wishing, by and by, that I could afford to give way more bread At length an idea struck me. I d stop dri king, and give that amount away in bread, adding one or two loaves on my own account. I did it, and it’s been a blessing to me.

They are then picked, and the stems and all green and rotten grapes removed. The grapes are then crushed and pressed in the usual manner. T e juice may be put directly into bottles, or it may be first concentrated somewhat by boiling and then bottled; in either case the bottles are put in hot water and brought to the boiling point, where they are maintained for half an hour. At the end of this time remove them from the fire and cork them tightly, while still hot, wiring in the corks. Then replace them and con tinue the boiling another hour — Glass bottles are better for this pur pose than tin cans, though the latter may be used.
