CRAWFORDVILLE DEMOCRAT.
Volume 8.
HOW HOUGH <f AHE’S HEART WAS
TOUCHED.
An atmosphere ot sorrow p ervaded the
Mulkittle house. The little girl that had
bloomed into enduring imitation of her
broiher. and who followed him, and had
Just begun to ask questions, laugh and run
away before they were answered, was
strickened down by a blighting disease
How like a witliersd flower she ssemed.
lying on the lounge which had been drawn
to the center of the room. The attending
physician sai l that she could not recover.
The minister and his almost heart-broken
wife sat at the bedside,almost afraid to loofc
each other. The boy, whose once rollick¬
ing footsteps had been seftened to noise¬
less tip-toe, entered the room, and, with
tear-streaming eyes, stood looking at the
little sufferer. Only the day before they
bad raced tnrough the garden to ge th e
where old Ike was repairing the;flower-Deds
and she, finding apiece of yellow dish,
playfully said it was money, giving It to
the old man, and telling him to bay “some
nice tloze an’ a hat.” The boy had heard
the dootor say that there was no hope for
the child, and, although he knew not the
meaning of death in all of its dreadful sig¬
nificance, yet he understood it to be sepa¬
ration until that time when he should
meet her with wings, and be like the pic¬
tures at which they had so often and fond¬
ly looked. In life there is no purer love
than that existing between children.
“Is she any better he asked.
. “No,” whispered his father,
“Will sha get well ?”
“I don’t know.”
“May I kiss her ?"
Mrs. Mulkittle sobbed and took the boy
Into her arms.
“You must not kiss her, darling. You
might be ill as she is.”
“Would kissin’ her make me sick ?"
“I* might.”
“Let me kiss her anyway.”
“No, Willie,” replied the fathor.
“An’ can’t I ever kiss her again ?”
“No, not in this world.”
The physiciau came. The boy went out
and sorrowfully s at on the front steps.
Rough Jake, a boy. thatlived in the neigh¬
borhood, came along, holding in his motley
band a rose he had doubtless stolen.
Rough Jake is a kind of social outcast.
No mother wsuld allow her children to as¬
sociate with him, and feeling this ostra¬
cism, he was constantly seeking revenge
by Inflicting punishment on youngsters
whom he “caught out.”
“Hello, Bill.” said Jake, stopping and
kicking the step.”
Young Mulkittle dta not reply.
V “Why don’t-you talk, bah? ;Think
yourse’f above nm don’t you? I’ve been
laying for you, young feller, an’ I believe
I’ll give it to you right here. ”
“Go away, Jake, I don't wanter fight.”
“You’re a coward. Couie here,” and he
seized young Mulkittle.
“Don’t Jake. I wouldn’t fight ef any¬
body was’ter try and’ kill me, ” »
“W.hat’s the matter with you ?”
“My little sister is about to die.”
“Here, Hilly," releasing his victim and
handing bimtherose. “I wouldn’t hit you
fer all the money in the world. Don’t cry,
Billy, please don’t,” taking up the boy’s
hat aud gently placing it on his head.
“Good-bye, an’ don’t think that I want to
hurt you.”—Arkansaw Traveler.
FORTY YEARS AGO
Coffins were very plain and burial cas¬
kets were unknown.
Tombstones had larger epitaphs and
more verbosity engraved upon them.
Egg 5 were a shiiiing a dozen and butter
.vas considered high at eighteen cents per
pound. lips, leives,
Much of the silver currency,
and dollars was of Mexican and Spanish
coinage. better,
The county retail trade was muen
as people could not so easily get to the city
by rail.
Business letters were more volumious and
formal, and were written in a precise,
round hand.
There was York currency, eight shil¬
lings to the dollar, and New England cur¬
rency six shillings to the dollar.
The diet was mere surcharged with
grease the winter breakfast usually being
made of splited ham and hot cakes.
Dinner was simply a hasty lunch at noon,
and little importance was attached to the
necessity for good digestion or a period of
rest after eating.
New Orleans aud muscovado, molasses,
very, black and thin, was the common sweet¬
ening sor buck wheat cakes. Refiued mo¬
lasses was almost unknown.
The bank bills were of State banks, and
the further West their locality the shakier
they were. Illinois and Indiana bills would
barely pass in New York .
Bread was home made. Coffee was
freshly ground every Morning, and the
grinding of the family coffee mill was a
familiar sound hours before the children
Negro minstrelsy was j ust cropping out
in the traveling circus. Th-tre were gener¬
ally but two performers, who assumed male
*nd female character. The popular melo¬
dy was “Jump, Jim Crow.”
People did not live as leag as they now
de, nor was the average health as good as
at present They ate more meat, more
grease, more hot bread, and more heavy
dishes, and drank more at meal*.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
Keroscene will make a tin kettle or
coffee pot as bright as new. Saturate
a woolen rag and rub with it.
If your silver forks or spoons are
stained from using in eggs (as, they al
ways will be,) rub them with a little
dry table salt.
qjj ctotha can be kept like new if
lw4 once a mQatll in stlim rai [ k alul
water, equal quantities of each ; rub it
in well and polish with an old silk cloth
and they will keep for years.
To clean brass, immerse or wash it
saveral times in sour milk or whey ;
this will brighten it without scouring ;
it may then be scoured with a woolen
cloth dipped in ashes.
To remove iron taste from^Tnew ket¬
tles, boil a handful of hay in them, and
repeat the process if necessary. Hay
water is a great sweetner of tin, wood¬
en and iron ware. In Irish dairies ev¬
erything used for milk is scalded with
hay water.
To remove starch or rust from flat
irons, have a piece of yellow beeswax
tied in a close clotb;,whea|the iron isjal
mosf hot enough to use,but not quite,
rub it quickly with the beeswax and.then
dean with a dean doth or on sand pa
der.
Nothing is better to clean silver with
than alcohol and ammonia ; after rub¬
bing with this take a little whitening
or a soft cloth and polish in this way ;
even frosted silver,which is so difficult
to clean, may be easily made clean aud
bright.
Do not let knives be dropped into hot
water. It is a good plan to have a large
tin pot to wash them In, just high
enough to wash the blades without wet¬
ting the handies. Keep your castors
covered with blotting paper and green
flannel. Keep your salt spoons out of
the salt and clean them often. When
ivory handled knives turn yellow, rub
them with nice sand paper or emery ; it
will take off all the spot3 and restore
their whiteness.
If brooms are wet in boiling suds once
a week they will become very tough,
will not cut a carpet, will last much
longer and always sweep like a new
broom. A good housekeeper never al
!oviji fypr carpet broom to be used for
sweeping the outride stairs or yard ;
keeps a coarse broom for this purpose.
To keep a broom from getting stiff and
hard, hang it in the cellar. If raw po¬
tatoes of the peeling are cut fine and
sprinkled on the carpet before sweep¬
ing. they will be found more effectual
than salt or corn meal.
GKXGRAL GRANT'S VIEWS.
Philadelphia, April 14—Genera 1
Grant, iu an interview with a Times
correspondent says: “It might be pos¬
sible that the republicans at Chicago
will not make the wisest selection of a
candidate It must not he lost sight of
that it will take a great many democrat¬
ic votes to carry the States of New York
and New Jersey. Should the nomina¬
tion at Chicago not be of a person who
would have a reasonable chance of car¬
rying these votes it would then be all
important to have a safe democratic
canditate, for New York will be the
battle ground of the campaign.
“If the democrats should nominate a
free trader, then I think the republi¬
cans would have a reasonable expecta¬
tion of electing anybody. I have no
doubt that the democrats will be g( vern
ed much by the nominees of the repub¬
licans in June, but I believe that Mr.
Randall would run well in New York,
New Jersey and Indiana against some
persons now talked about by the repub
cans.”
