TRAINING A HUSBAND.
So you want ter know how I came
tor liev Caleb, when I knew jest how
he used Nancy, his first wife. Wal.
I’ll tell yer all about it.
You know Dan’l left me pretty
poorly off. I had two little children,
an* what ter dew I didn’t know. The
mortgage was ter run oout in about a
\ car an’ half niter lie died. I'd sent
the children down to brother John’s
ter go fo school. Brother John
wanted me to give them ter him, and
he’d do well by 'em. an* I was mod
Rating on it, orfu'i loth to dew it. But
what else could I dew with them,
when the old farm was took away
from me ?
One day when the time was near
oout, I was a honin' the beans side of
the fence jin in' Calebs cornfield. I
tell yer. Hannah. I ncv r felt Idaer
in all i;:v born days. Id alters lived
an' wo; ked on a farm, aid c m'du'tdn
no other kind of work ; so what was to
become of me 1 do n't know.
“ Party good floe in* for a green
hand." sez somebody over the fence.
“ Yen." scz i, " I've done enough n!
it since I was left alone. " Practice
makes perfect." we used ter write in
our copy-Look when wo were chi!-
d’en," an’ I couldn't help heaving a
sigh.
“ Wal. Emma'-ino.” arz he. “ you’ll
[ seem to be in the same fix. You
need a man to do vnnr boring and
sich, an’ I need a woman to sen ter
my house, an’ if \ ou're agreed we'll
hitch b.orscs and w ok in double har
ness. I can't find no hired help that
will do as Nancy did.” (Thinks I to
myself, an’ you'll ne\c-r find another
'twill either.) •• So what u'\e say.
Emmeline ?”
P’r’aps I didn't think o’ nothing
for the ncx' few minutes. It all
(lashed over me in a secont, what an
unfeclin* man he’d allcrs ben. Poor
Nancy bad ter dew all the house
work, an’ a good deal belong ter him
tor dew, an’ he was stingier than an
old miser tew.
I knew he was a smart man ter
work, was beforehand and was able
ter live in good deal better shape than
he did. an’ you know, Hannah, that
poor Daniel was just the uppers:!,?.
He was a norful clover man, was Dan'cl.
but kind o' shiftless an’ easy, an' it
allcrs woiried me so muc i tew hev
things goin' so slack. Scz I ter my
self a body can't hev everything;
ther’s allcrs some coats. an’ a poor
man's better'n none. So I speaks right
up, an’ 1 -cz :
“Caleb, we've been nabors many a
year. I know your t’ailiivs an’ spore
you know mine, ;uE so, ef you say so
all right, pVaps we both miglit <lo
wuss.”
Wal, ter make n !op'4 storv s!>**rt.
we agree 1 to have the business dun
right of!’. Caleb se>i that it was sty!
ish to go on a weduin tower now a
<iay. auu as he v.auieo ler go deown
ter Bangor to see about soiling Lis
wool, an’ as Sarah Jane Curtis, (w! o
used ler work for him) lived about
half way, r.:' we could stop thei’e both
ways, and not cost us anything, he
thought we’d better go. (His niece,
Rebecca Gilman, yer know, iives
there, and we could make her a visit
at the same time.) Brother John lives
there, tew, you know, an* I'd made un
my mind that I’d jest tiling home the
child'en.
An’ so I did ; hilt Ca'eb he was or
ful sot agin it, but sed “of course
they can eorne and make a visitan’
[ let him think so. 'e.ui-e I wasn't
quite ready to have words with him
yet.
We stayed about a week, an' got
home along in the aiternoon ail right.
Ther nex’t motion I w,ke iq> puriy
airly, an’ I sez l< myself: ** (hu age.
Einmeriinc. now or never.*’ I kep*
still, for Caleb* was Gil! a snorin', but
bime-bv he fee he’, an nnniidy snort
that jvake't himscti'up, an when he see
'at it was go?tin’ daylight, he nudged
ine and st z lie :
“ Wake up. Emmeriine. Emmer
line, it’s broad daylight; come, come,
git. up. w-a s'.gn i i'.cv any hreasinst
tor-<.
I was orful hard ter wake., but after
awhile I managed tew, an* while I was
a rabbin' my eyes. I sez. “ Got a good
hot fire, ain’t yon. Caleb?”
“ Fire ! ’ said he ; “ No. I never build
anv fires. Nancy allers built the
fires.”
“ Did she ?” sez I. as cool as a cu
curnbci* ‘‘So did I)an cd.
FOR THE PEOPLE.
I turned over and went to sleep
agin—or, at least, he thought I did.
Wal, lie wiggled, an 1 turned, and
twisted, an' he and dn’t move to get
up for about an hour an’ when the
sun rose and shone inter the bed
room winder, he got up and built
the fire. There wasn’t no kindiin’s.
nor a stick <>’ wood, an* he had to
squirmish round lively and get some
in.
Artec the fire got tew crackling in
good shape. I got up. I didn't hurry
none, let me teM yon. I was ’most
dead lying abed so long, but scz I to
myself. "Ef I make the fires now.
I'll probably hev to dew it in cold
weather, an' I won't do it for r.nv
man."
lie was pretty sullen altjßay, but I
didn't take no notice of him and he
got over it. The next day fie wa.‘
begin bayin’ and hod six men ter help
him. I had to and > all the work, an'
take care of the milk an’ churnin’ af
it wasn't no fool of a job. Come time
ler get dinner, an' there wasn't a sliver
o' wood cut. I sent Johnnie (fie was
then about seven years oi l) out in the
field to toll Caleb I wanted him.
He came in looking savage enough
and wanted to know what it was I
wanted. Sez I—
“ I want some wood ter burn.”
“Wal,” sez lie, “ there's a whole
wood-pile out there. Help yourself.”
“ An’ not a stick split,”*sez I. " You
will hev to get a bigger stove to burn
that.”
“ Wal, it ain’t such a hard job ter
split it.,” scz lie. ‘’Nancy used to-often,
when I was bizzy.”
“Did she?” sez I. “So did Dan
iel.”
He got the wood, an’ said, as he
•vent out. that he didn't want ter be
called in outo' the mowing field again,
unless ’twas for vittals.
“ All right.” scz I.
The nex’ day Twas the same thing
not a stick split. Tiiitils I| “Old
fellow, you ain't got no Nancy here.
I’ll lam you a little somethin’ that
p’r’aps yer don't know.” So when it
wag dinner time I blows the horn, an’
in conies all seven of the men an* sets
down ter the table.' Sich streaked
looking faces as they lied as they
viewed the grub. There was the bis
cuit just dough, tiie pertaters, and
meat, an’ vegetables an' everything
was washed, clean and put on raw.
Not a thing was cooked.
Caleb looked blacker'a thunder
cloud.
“ What docs this mean ?" scz ho.
“It means what it.means,” sez I.
“ You said yest’day that you didn't
want ter i:e called in from the mowin’
field again unless it was for vittles, an’
here they 7 are.”
“Nice shape, tew,” sez he.
“ Wal, I can't cook ’thout wood,”
scz I, dryly like.
With that, all seven of ’em started
for the door, an’ they never left that
wood-pile till it was ready lbr the
stove. I never was bothered for wood
again.
A few weeks after, I waited some
money purty bad. I wanted ter send
Johnnie aud Nellie back ter school,
an’ I was bound that they should
have some clothes fit to wear. I asked
Caleb a number of times to let me
hev some, but he made ali kinds of
excuses. I didn’t tell him what I
wanted of it, mind yc. So one day
along comes a peddler that bought
butter’n eggs. I had considerable on
ban’ that Caleb was intending to
carry into tber city when lie had
time. So I sold every pound of but
ter an' every egg I bed in the house.
I got nigh onto twenty-five dollars for
'em.
When Caleb come home I told him
T had sold the butter'n eggs.
“ Heow much did ye git?” sez he.
I told him.
“ Where’s the money ?’’ sez he.
" I've got it.," scz l.
“Wei:.” scz he, “Nancy allcrs giv
me al! the money that she took for her
outter and eggs.”
“Did she?” scz I. “And so did
Dan’el.”
Ho got tired of holding Nancy up
afore my eyes, for I would offset her
with Dan’el every lime. He found
that I was powerful sot in my way,
an' he thought he might as well let
me liev my own way, an' so he liez.
I don’t mean to be ugly, but I won't
be trod on by nobody. When he
wouldn't let me hcv what money I
wauled I’d sell something every time.
I sold two tons of hay one time, when
I knew that he only lied enough to
winter his critters. So, on the whole,
lie found cout that I wasn't afraid of
him, and he hi have i quite decent.
1 told him, not along ago, that he was
growin’ clever.
“Clever!” sez he. “I'd ruther
you’d, call me a dog-goned fulc, than
clever.”
But I notice lie lias improved, an’
I lay it ter his trainin'.
A Rising Genius.
A Connecticut man is never happv
unless ho is inventing something.
Even the children have a fancy for
the business. Last summer a Con
necticut farmer's boy visited Barnum’s
ifrens and saw a catapult. Ii
suggested a tramp bouncer to be set
under a man's door steps, and he at
once went to work to build one. As
he wanted to surprise his father ho
kept the matter a secrcft. and worked
like a beaver up in the hay loft of the
barn, building the machine. Finally
he got it done. It was a magnificent
machine, vrorked by a spring capable
of throwing 150 pounds a distance of
thirty feet. I’iiis machine he buried
in the hay till he should be rendv
to test it. Something possessed his
father’s hired man to go up in that hay
loft tlie next day. and he contrived to
get rigid, on the foot board of the ma
chine. and was slung whirling across
the barn into a half filled bale of hay
on the opposite side. Alighting on
the hay saved him from serious injury,
but not from surprise. lie didn't ex
pect any such experience and was not
at all pleased with it. Neitherdid ho
understand it; and as SSOO wonUen't
have induced him to go on that hay
loft again, he didn't find out what
threw him. And fear of ridicule pre
vented if;s mentioning it. That night
two tramps tried to sleep in that hav
loft, and gave it up ns a bad job a Ter
a sad experience. They had cradled
into the bay, and were getting fixed,
when one got foul of the machine, and
immediately 7 .his companion hoard a
whiz, a wild veil and then calls for
help from the other side of the barn.
He arose to go to his companion and
.rot there quicker than he expected.
He found his friend very curious to
know what had tossed him, and some
what scared. Tiie way those tramps
fled from that barn was a caution.
The next day when all the folks re
turned they ail stood on the doorsteps
and the old man rang to he let in.
With so much weight the machine
couldn't throw ’em far, but rose up
enough to dump 'em. The old man
was the first to get up. He wasn't a
very- big man and it did look like the
Lord had put that deep snowdrift,
forty- feet away-, just on purpose to
catch him. They got him out. filled
with terror, went i > the back way.
There they told the story and the boy
explained, and the old man ran him
out and stood him on the machine six
times, and lie 'nutted that snowdrift
all too pieces, lie will not putenl.the
machine, believing that it is too cruel
a tiling for these enlightened days.
Buthe’s glad the old man had an ear
nearly- torn olf when he got slung by
it.
Notes for the Ladies.
The following rules are worthy- of
being printed in letters of gold, and
placed in a conspicuous place in every
household :
First —From our children’s earliest
infancy inculcate the necessity of in
slant obedience.
Second—Unite firmness with gen
tleness. Let your children always
understand that you mean what yon
say.
Third—Never promise them any
thing unless you are quite sure that you
can give what you sav.
Fourth—lf you tell a child to do
something, show him how to do it, and
see that it is done.
Fifth—Always punish your child
for willfully disobeying you, but never
punish him in anger.
Sixth—Never let them know that
they vex you, or make you lose your
self-command.
Seventh—lf they give way to petu
ience or ill temper wait till they are
calm, then gently reason with them on
the impropriety of their conduct.
Eighth—Remember that a little
present punishment, when the occa
sion arises, is much more effectual
than the threatening of a greater
punishment should the fault be re
newed.
Ninth—Never give your children
anything because they- cry for it.
Tenth: —O.i no account allow them
to do at one time what you have for
bidden under the same circumstances
at another.
Eleventh—Teach them that tiie only
sure and easy- way to appear good is
to be good.
Twelfth—Accustom them to make
; their little recitals wit;-, perfect truth.
Thirteenth — Never allow ta’o-bosr
imj-.
Fourteenth —Teach. *ii in self-de
nial, not self-indulgence.
A Woman’s Heart.
“ Lomme see,'’ said the old man,
musing with his chin on tho top of
his cane and speaking in the shrill
falsetto voice or “it must be for
iv-seven years since Ann Maiia died,
vet I can remember the very gown
she wore and the color of the long curls
that hung down over her shoulder and
the red on her cheeks that were like
a winter apple. Dear me ! she's nev
er faded a mile in all the 3 ears, hut
just sits there a lookin' at me, as she
did when I brought her home. You
see there was a kind of romance le v
it. and I've olfeu and ole n limuMu
that if I had the power and could rite
it out it would read heautifullcr than
a novel; the fact that Ann Maria had
another bean, but that a ; n't no won
der for she was the smartest and pret
tiest and host girl in the hull country
side, but what I mean, she had favor
ed him ever so little, afore I come
i-o-ind. am 1 began kcepin’ her compa-
ny. F-Us kind of coupled their
names together, and some of 'em, to
bother me, hinted that she cared a
heap for him. Why, you'd or ter tew
have seen him. lie was slim and
fine as n lady, and wore gaiter shoes,
and ha 1 liol!er v.. cs as ,- .. .* i 1 *
hud quite enough to eat. Ann Maria
care for him ? why the girl had sense
and knew the difference atween a
Filer as straight as a sappling with a
color iike new mahogany, and such a
melancholy looking specimen as that.
Besides. I had a mortgage on the old
homestead, and Ann Maria's father
owed me money, but I did right by
them. I told her ef she married me
I'd deed the whole thing back to her.
and I did. Well, we was married,
and we made as purty- a couple as you
oversaw in your life. Ann Maria
bad a settin’ out of china and linen,
and I provided the house, and folks
said 1 had the best wife a man ever
had in the world, and I'd got every
thing juT as I wanted it., and s’posed
it would always be so; but from the
day we were married my wife failed
in health and spirits, and in six months
I buried her—folks said it was con
sum;)!,ion, but, it didn't run in the fami-,
'v. I was blind and full of pride
then—but Fvo thought since,” here
the old man lowered his voice, “ that
uebho all the time she loved that,
white-faced chap as I despised ; a wo
man’s heart I've found out is a queer
thing, and love goes where it is sent,
but if sire did and married mo from a
mistakened sense of duty-, why all I've
got to say is I've been punished,
too. for I loved her. Perhaps I nev
er felt it as much as I did when I saw
her lying white and peaceful in her
chintz gown, with the violet on it.
and something round her neck that I
never see before, a little cheap locket
with some hair in it that wasn't mine.
“Then I mistrusted that her heart
had broke, and I said solemnly as I
kissc i her good-by : “My dear. I’ll
never have a wife but you if I live the
four score year and ten ! ’ and l nev
er have, and I think mebbe she will
see that I loved her truly, and forgive
me at last.”
HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
It will be apparent to any one who will
examine a Solid Got and Watch, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only- to
stiffen and hold the engraved portions in
place, and supply the necessary solidity
and strength. Tiie surplus gold is actu
ally needless so far as utility and beau
ty arc concerned. In JAMES BOSS’
LATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this
waste of precious metal is overcome, and
the SAME SOLI DUTY AND STRENGTH pro
duced at from one-third to one-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is
of the most simple nature, as follows : a
plate of nickle composition metal especi
ally- adapted to the purpose, lias two plates
of solid GOLD soldered one on each side.
The three arc then passed between polish
ed steel rollers, and the result is a strip of
heavy plated composition, from which the
cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., are cut
and shaped by suitable dies and formers.
The gold in these cases is sufficiently thick
to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving
and enamelling; the engraved cases have
been carried until worn perfectly smooth
by- time and use without removing the
gold.
THIS IS TIIE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL
CERTIFICATE.

An Absent-Minded Bride.
An absent-minded j-oung lady, hal
ing been duly- married, started off on
her bridal tour. The party stopped
at a western city. Some time in the
night there came a succession of
terrified shrieks from the room oc
cupied by the bride and groom, and
tLie clerks, porters and employes gen
erally rushad up stairs, only- to meet a
frantic female figure, clad in white,
fleeing in desperate haste from her
apartment crying, “Oh, there’s a man
in my room P
The clerk rushed in and found the
groom half disrobed, standing in the
middle of the room, one hoot on and
the other in his hand, the picture of
amazement. lie explained that he
just come upstairs and was in the act

retired), when she suddenly awoke
with a shriek and fled.
“ What was the matter ?’’ asked the
clerk.
" Damfino.” said the husband.
Just then the bride, enveloped in a
huge bedspread procured, for her by a
chambermaid, came back, looking
very red and foolish, and in halt a
minute she explained the mastery by
saving:
“Oil. Fred, I forgot I was married,
and when I awoke I was so freights!!-

At the battle of Groveton Stone
wall Jackson tried an experiment
which nearly frightened a Federal di
vision out of their boots, liars of
railroad iron were cut up into foot
lengths and fired from some of his
heaviest guns, and the noise these
missiles made as they went sailing
t hrough the air was a sort of cross be
tween the shriek of a woman and the
ray of a mule. The Federals listen
ed in wonder at the first few which
hanged through the tree tops, and
presently one of the pieces fell just in
-front of a Pennsylvania regiment. A
captain stepped forward to inspect it,
and after turning it over he rushed to
his colonel with the news :
“Colonel, them infernal rebs are
firing railroad iron at us.”
“ No!'"
“They are, for a fact!”
“ Captain, advance your company
to that ridge and deploy, and the
minute you find Jackson is getting
ready to fire freight cars at us send
me word. I don't propose to have
my regiment mashed into the ground
when it can just as well be decently
exterminated in tiic regular way !”

Strange Fatality.
THREE SISTERS IU PHILADELPHIA DYING
WITHIN HALF AN HOUR.
Philadelphia. April 6.—A strange
case of fatality, in which three sisters
die 1 within half an hour, was reported
to the Coroner to-day. Two of the
women, Sarah Watson, a widow aged
52 years, and M-s. Cynthia Wimmore,
aged 58 years, lived at 329 Wharton
street, and the third, Mrs. Elizabeth
Smith, at 1,335 south Fourth street.
At about 10 o’clock last night Mrs.
Wins more went toiler bed room to re
t re for the night, whoa she heard a noise
in her sister's room. On reaching her
room, Mrs Winsmorc found Mrs. Wat-
son in a dying condition. Medical
assistance, was promptly summoned,
and Mrs. Smith was also sent for.
The physicians found Mrs. Watson ii
a comatose condition and .administer
ed ammonia, but she did not revive,
and expired in a few minutes. Be
fore they had recovered from their as
tonishment, Mrs Wins more was over
come and fell to the floor in an uncon
scious state, and in ten minutes she
died, and ten minutes later Mrs. Smith,
the third sister, was a corpse. The
physicians were non plussed, and the
greatest consternation spread through
the household. The only theory up
on which the deaths are accounted for
is that Mrs. Watson was seized with a
congestive child and died from an at
tack of apoplexy which ensued, and
that both Mrs. Winsmorc and Mrs.
Smith died from nervous prostration,
which caused attacks of heart disease
or apoplexy. There is no suspicion
of foul ylay, as the family lived on the
most amicable terms. Post-mortem
examinatiorns were made this after
noon. and the result will be reported
at the Coroner’s inquest, which will
probably be held to-morrow.

Cotton Cultivation.
A planter of Georgia gives the fol
lowing plan of cultivating cotton by
the level system, as superior to the
old plan :
\V hen we keep our lands level,
which can only he done by giving
proper distance in widths of rows, we
have a uniform soil, the sun and at
mosphere penetrating and affecting
all alike—a uniform moisture, which
is just, as attractive to a feeder in one
place as another, each root having its
own way, coursing at its will. A good
width of rows brings out a larger num
ber of feeding roots, because the at
traction is just as great in the center
of the rows as at any other locality,
with the same opportunities as to a
supply of moisture, and under such
circumstances cotton will stand a
drouth of twenty days, with less in
jury than by the old plan, one of ten
days, and I am saying little enough
for the wide rows and level cultivation
when I affirm that such is ray experi
ence. Cotton cultivated, if possible,
on a perfect level does not require
more than half the rain that is neces
sary to make an ordinary crop ditched
and ridged up with rows hardly wide
enough to walk between.
Our wide system of rows and level
cultivation fills our soils with roots,
which, when decayed, forms a loam—
“ that is, a natural soil mixed with de
composed vegetable matter,” and in
creases the productiveness of our lands
annually ; also we have a larger and
more portly stalk and foliage, which
naturally yields larger and better de
veloped fruit—leaves our lands in
much better condition not only' as to
its qualities, but less liable to bo
washed oiF and belter fitted for any
crop that is to follow. Owing to the
level cultivation, securing the advan
tages named, we get a larger proportion
of vegetable matter, which adds to the
productiveness of our soils, both in
ternally and externally', and the larger
theexlernal growth the larger theyicld,
and the larger the yield the greater the
benefit to the soil.

sons of sedentary habits, and others
whose system needs recuperation,
