Tforo is an inoidonl, true in every tie
tail, which nmy serve as a text for some
of our readers to preach theinselve 5 a
Bernion as they idle away t.ie summer
Sunday morning on the mountains or by
the beach. .
Three or four years ago a halt-
drunken young fellow, driving furiously
along a crowded street, ran over a
little child and hurt his spine. The boy
was the son of a poor cobbier. His bed
was a straw pallet on a garret floor.
When the injury was pronounced in
curable he was removed from the hos
pital to this bed. There was nothing
for him to look forward to but years of
misery in the filth and half darkness of
the wretched garret. His mother was
dead. Ilis father in the shop below
could barely keep them from starving.
The young fellow who hurt him was
sorry, but what could he doP He wns
a fast clerk on a small salary. Now and
then a kindly Irishwoman on the lower
floor, as wretched as ‘hemsolves, would
run up to “hearten the creature up a
bit;” but that was all. t he only view
from the square window was the cor
ner of the next roof, and the event of
the day for the miserable cripple was to
see the cats climb along it, or fight each
other- Foul smells and foul language
came up from the rooms below to him.
There seemed to be no other possible
chance for his life than to die down into
still more brutal ignorance and misery,
and to go out like an ill-smelling flame
into the eternal night.
Now. just at that time a little English
lad, who had come with his father to
visit the Centennial Exposition, while
passing along a quiet street of the city in
which the cripple lived, saw some pale-
faced children peering at him out of the
windows of a large house set back
among trees. Over the gate was the
name, Children’s Hospital. The boy’s
kindly English heart was touched; lie
turned and went in, joked and played
awhile with the poor babies, and when
ho went back to his hotel wrote to his
mother of the pleasant sunny rooms
with flowers in the windows and pic
tures on the walls, and the motherly
nurses taking caro of the little children.
“ I have seen nothing which pleased me
better in America,” .he said. “ I will
go ngain and tell you nbout it when I
come home."
He never went home. The gallant
little lad wns taken baok dead to his
mother a few weeks later. After the
violence of her grief wns past, in her
many efforts to show her gratitude to
the people who had nursed and beon
kind to her boy, she asked to bo allowed
to endow a memorial bed in the little
hospital which had pleased him so
much, and directed that it should be
filled with the most miserable
needy case known to the managers.
So it came to pass Hint our little cripple
on a warm spring day wns carried out
of his garret, bnthed, and laid on a pure
white lied in a sunny, pleasant room.
The other children in the ward called to
him and made acquaintance; there were
toys, books, pictures for them all. The
good woman who lifted him smiled at
him; lie thought his mother must have
looked like that. Outside the maples
reddened in the sun and rustled in at
the windows, and the robins chirped and
built their nests. Tiiero wore dainty
little meals brought to him. There was
the best skill the city could command
given to effect his cure. Good women
with their hearts full of Christ's love
came to tench him, and toll him of this
unknown Savior. At his bed head
hangs .a little card which he probably
never has read or understood: “In
memory of Richard , of Sussex,
England.”
Something this little story hints in
n dim wny of the infinite inextricable
tanglo of human lives and their inex
orable influence on each other. When
the English lad obeyod the generous
impulse to give a moment’s pleasure to
tho little children ns lie pnssed, how
could he tell that lie lifted this other
life up into the sunshine for all timeP

Good Words for the Skunk.
A fuller acquaintance with tin habits
of ’lie skunk would had us to cm aider
it one of our most valuable friendi
We made our first acquaintance with
it, however, through the sense of smell,
or the death of young chickens nnd
ducks, of which the skunk Is very fond.
The intense odor of I he skunk is oppres
sive, and it makes its presence known
in a way that b unique and searching.
While the fragrance of the skunk is sui
generis and overpowering, it is not
damaging ns that from sewers and sinks
and neglected potato bins and cabbage
pits. Judging the latter from odor
alone, they must be condemned more
surely than the odoriferous skunk. We
know the uses of potatoes nnd cabbages
and think of their good qualities. But
not so with the skunk. Eet us see if
we cannot afford to endure them on the
farm, and allow them an occasional
chicken or duck for a change of diet.
The skunk is pre-eminently an insectiv
orous animal. He diligently pursues
his calling at night when insects nre
most nbundant, and when his enemies,
dogs and men, are asleep. He devours
even the Colorado potato bug (deccm-
lineata), nnd finds a rich morsel in the
strawberry grub (lachonestra). He
mnkes hearty meals on cut worms, and
gorges himself with white grubs, the
larvae of the May beetle, which he roots
after in the loose sod or decaying hay
or straw about stack-yards. He plows
through the litter and leaves gathered
in the nooks and corners of the
fields, which) nre coverts nnd breed
ing placos of the myriads of clinch
bugs. Ho reaches millions of enemies
in secluded plnccs which man ennnot
reach with the plow, or rake, or fire.
We may clear tho litter and trash from
our fields, but tho corners and fence-
rows harbor tho enemy we try to
destroy. A kind providence lias Bent to
our aid this half domestic animal that
seems to increase like tho Norway rat
in populated districts, and for the com
mon renson that his food is more abund
ant there. Wo wish we could see some
like compensation in the presence of the
rat. but science has not yet revealed it,
and American civilization has not, like
the Chinese, found use lor it. The
skunk, unlike the rat, pays as he goes.
We can afford to take care of the chick
ens nnd ducks and let ttio skunks mul
tiply. Build the walls of our porches
and dwellings so the skunks cannot get
under them, and they wiU keep at such
a distance from our homes as not to
ofl’ond us. Tho old Greek motto,
“ Know thyself,” is a good ono, an l it
suggests a good ono for us, “ Farmer,
know tliy friends.”—A Farmer, in Cin
cinnati Commercial.

The following romantic story is told
in a recent letter from Mt. Vernon,
Ohio: A story coinciding with the
romantic incidents narrated in tho story
of Enoch Arden has been brought to
light in this county. Although the
parties most interested toied to keep the
matter quiet, yet your correspondent
has gleaned the facts of the case, which
are as follows: In the month of Feb
ruary, 1864, Madison Robeson married
Miss Hettie J. White, of Howard
township, this county, and lived hap
pily witu her for five years. The fruits
of the marriage wore three boys. Bur
ing the gold-mining excitement of 1859
Robeson got the ‘ lever” and left for the
West to seek his fortune, his objective
point being Pike’s Pcnk. At first lie
wrote at regular intervals long and in
teresting letters, giving glowing de
scriptions of the country, and his pros
pects: th n his letters enme less fre
quently and finally ceased to come at
all. Years rolled by and nothing was
heard of the derelict husband or his
whereabouts. His family concluded
that he was dead and had either met with
some mining r.ccident or had fallen
a victim to the vengeance of the
red man. Then a Philip Ray put
in an appearance and sought Mrr.
Robeson’s hand in marriage. She
finally consented, and after a lapse of
fourteen years from tho time her hus
band left was married to Philander
Marlow, and left with her new husband
and hoi children lor Iowa, where they
purchased a small farm near Decorah,
and took up their residence there. Her
second husband died two years after
the r removal to Iowa. Her sons have
grown to mnnhood; ono of them is mar
ried and with his motuer is still living
on their little farm near Decorah. A
few days ago a stranger arrived in this
place, who proved, Enoch Arden like,
to be tho long-lost Robeson Fro his
brother-in-law, Mr. J. H. Milless, a
business innn here, he learned the
whereabouts of his wi fe and of her sec
ond marriage. Robeson tolls a ro
mantic story of his wanderings and ad
ventures, and of his luck nnd ill luck.
He says that after leaving this county
ho went direct to the Pike’s Peak coun
try and engaged in mining there, but

Carried Off by An Alligator.
Tho following dreadful affair is related
by the Lake City (Fla.) lleportcr: A
few days ago a party of several persons
near Benton went on a "drivo” for deer.
About twelve o’clock they enmo to Peo
ple’s bridge, on the Suwannee, and being
warm and much fatigued they concluded
to take a bath. Tho party, consisting
of about eight, divested themselves of
clothing ana enjoyed a swim. As most
of the party were employing themselves
in dressing, n young man named Mixon
cried out, " Boys, 1 must have one last
swim,” and plunged into the stream.
As lie reached the middle ho cried for
help to his companions, and thoy looked
to behold him held by the right shoul
der in the mouth of un enormous alli
gator. Tiie monster sank witli him,
reappearing some two or three minutes
later upon tho surface witli Mixon still
in his jaws Mixon cried to his com
panions to shoot, but before a gun could
be discharged he sank again, taking
Mixon under witli him. About two
minutes after he arose agaiu and struck
for the opposite shore, still having the
ill fated young man in his enormous
mouth. Again Mixon called upon his
companions to shoot, but being afraid of
hitting Mixon no one discharged nis
§ un. The alligator crept some half a
ozen feet upon the opposite bank, re
maining about three minutes, when,
guided by a sudden impulse, lie plunged
with his precious burden into the river
ajgain, nnd reaching the middle sank to
rise no more within the view of the
K . A thorough search was made,
aught could be scon of the body or
parts ot the body of the unfortunate
young man. The presumption is that
the alligator made for his lair, which
probably was near at hand.
Treatmant at Hog*.
F. G. Palmer & Brother write as fol
lows to the Western Live Slock Journal:
A great many farmers think that a hog
does not require much care nnd atten
tion, and never think of salting them.
According to our way of thinking, a hog
needs more care than cattle or liorscs.
Very frequently where cholera breaks
oul, you will find that tho owner has
been vury negligent in caring for them.
Caro nnd regu'ar slopping and feeding
are t|ie best preventatlvcs against hog
oholohi, and our experience lies proven
such to be the case. For tho past seven
years wo liavo raised from 120 to 175, and
they have been healthy, not often refus
ing to eat. Ou commission man in
ClRoago, A. W. Vaughan, will toll you
that no better hogs than onr- raising
come to that market. Firstly, wc feed
twice a day in regular quantities,
fattening hogs wc start them lightly for
a low days, soon as wo find what they
can clean up before leaving the floor,
then we hold them right there, give
them the heaviest at night, and keep our
floor dean every day Always feed with
a basket witli our system ot feeding;
there are often days when thoy take more
feed. Take, for mslanco, two separate
lots of the same number, feed one lot
ail thoy can cat and keep it before
hem, as many farmers do, feed the
oilier lot after our style of feeding,
at tho expiration of thirty d iys you
will Und our lot has oaten more corn
nnd gained more pounds por bushel, and
much less liable to diseases. We fatten
our nigs and have them averaging three
hundred and over Keep nothing over
but breeding sows, only raise one litter
from them. Our sows last fall, about
twenty months old, averaged 600
pounds. To keep our hogs in a good
healthy condition, we slop them on oat
meal and milk every day while sucking
pigs, give the sumo when large enough
to drink—don’t give them all they can
stuff, just enough to keep them growini
nicely. To the hogs we give a gooi
brine once a week in slop, and one pound
of English soda (it comes in kegs) to
every twenty boas; pigs don’t get it ns
strong. Tiiis will make it too hot for
worms to stop long, will often stop
L'eps
Secondly, clean
their yardB every season. We build our
sheds high, facing tho south, leaving a
spaoo under the eaves which gives a
good ventilation; use nothing but straw
for the roofs, which we take off in the
summer, let tho rains wash it good in
the fall, and recover it with new straw,
making it almost as good as moving it
We bea as often as once a week during
cold weather; a dirty place to sleep in is
bad for them.
A Sponge Plantation.
F< ? r , D ?. any years the B Ponge fishers of
the Mediterranean have carried on their
avocations so recklessly that there is
reason to fear the supplies from the
great sea (which yields the best article)
will practically cease unless means are
adopted at oned to prevent the men from
destroying—as they do at present in
countless numbers-the young animals
while securing the full-grown victims.
Meantime Dr. Brehm, the illustrious
naturalist, has suggested a plan for
raising sponges artificially. Selecting a
few hundred specimens, he divided
them into several thousand small pieces,
fastened separately into perforated
cases, which were then towed out
to the bay of Socolizza. He then
attached the pieces to a wooden
framework, which was then lowered in
a shady spot to a proper depth. In a
few months the sponges had grown to
the size of good natural ones, exhibiting
tneir distinctive black color. The au
thorities regarded his scheme with
favor, but the fishers, with that ignor
ant prejudice which lias so often delayed
sound reform in almost every industry,
attacked the plantation at night, de
stroyed the frames,and-made off with
two thousand sponges. By substituting
copper wire for woodwork, Dr. Brehm
immediately checkmated the teredo,
whose ravagps in woodwork are noto
rious; and by fastening the spanges to
stones it was observed that they speedily
attached themselves firmly,
them from coughing; this keeps them
in ii healthy condition
FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
How to Tattler Iloraea an it Cow*.
It Is a good while since I have made
any modification in my way of tether
ing. Horses arc tethered by either fore
leg—never by the head. Thcbest tether
is a rather stout chain (not less than
one-fourth inch iron witli two-inch
links) with rings and swivels at eacli
end. This is most conveniently attached
to the leg by a well-fitted fetter. I had
sets of fetters sometime ago which were
excellent, but they became rusty nnd
were finally beaten and broken. Since
then I have used a- inch nnd a quarter
to an inch and a half strap, passed twice
around above the pastern joint, and yet
so loose that it will slip around the
leg. The tethered nnimai must be led
to the end of the tether hefore it is set
tree, and then watched a little so that it
shall not start off with a rush in the
opposite direction and be brought up
too suddenly. I have never Had any
difficulty with horses—they seem to
comprehend the situation at once. Cows
nre tethered in precisely tue same way,
hut by the hind leg. They will some
times kick excitedly for a while, but no
harm ever comes of it. To avoid this
I usually attach the chain, and then
lead the cow some distance to get her
accustomed to the burden upon her
leg, and to let her see that it will do
her no harm.
Catnip* Timber Tree*.
There is much talk in the papers about
planting tho catalpa for timb: r. Ii is a
durable and valuable timber: nnd it
grows fast. It will usually add three
inches to its girth eacli year. There are
two kinds grown in the United States;
ono known to botanists ns catalpa
speciosn, the other as catalpa bignonio-
des. Either is as good as tiie other for
timber, oxcept that in the northwest
tiie former is believed to suffer less in
severe winters. The young plants should
be cut to the ground when two years
old. When the sprouts come the next
spring, all should be slipped out but the
strongest. Then a long, elenn, straight
stem will bo the result.

..cr n short stay left for California.
There he was not successful and left for
British Columbia, but in a short time
returned to California. From there lie
went to Now Zealand with a min
ing chum, but mooting with had
luck ngain returned to California.
When he arrived in San Francisco
ho found a letter there for him from
a former mining companion who had
gone to Australia. He acceded to the
requests of his old chum and left lor
Australia, whore he resided for several
years, was successful, and accumulated
sovoral thousand dollars. He then de
termined to return to this country and
to 111 family. Arriving in California
lie was led into unfortunato speculations
and loBt all the money ho had saved in
Australia. He then returned to mining
and worked forseven years in tho minus
in Nevada, Idnho and Wyoming. Two
years ago, when the Leadville mining
excitement broke out, lie left for that
place and located und worked what
proved to be rich claims. Ho now owns
twenty residences in that city and runs
n large hotel and livery stablo, and is
worth $300,000. He claims that ho
wrote several Jotters home, but received
no answers, nnd concluding that his
family was either dead or had left tiie
country, lie ceased writing. He loft
yesterday for Iowa to see his taraily,
make atonement for his conduct, and
have them rejoin him and enjoy the
luxuries attendant upon his large for

Detroit Bellos as Smugglers.
Ladies of good families who have
wealth at their command mako the most
desperate smugglers, and are dealt with
tiie hardest by tho officers, as they do
not deserve ns much leniency or sym
pathy as the poor woman who has in
vested her little all and would be desti
tute if stringently dealt with, and to
whom the good bargain, duly free, is
really a great temptation. Tho class of
goods which Canadians buy in Detroit
and smuggle to Canada is cotton cloth,
domestic and dress goods. The Detroit
purchaser steps on the ferry and goes
over to Windsor for gloves, laces, silks,
velvets and cashmeres, these articles
being considered much cheaper and
better, whether they are or not. There
are hundreds of Detroit Indies wearing
velvet and silk dresses who smuggled
them over folded neatly about their
angelic waists or disposed of in their
bosoms, while they passed the custom
house officer, the lynx-eyed female de
tectives, the landing waiters, and with
serene countenances walked off with
their spoils. Ono lady boasts of the
amount of goods she can carry over at a
single trip. The smuggling mania has
taken such possession of her that she
lias smuggled for hpr friends, merely to
keep up the excitement. She has ac
quired such a knack of arranging the.
goods about her person that a whole
bolt of cotton does not give her the least
uneasiness, and she can carry at one
trip half a dozen silk dresses; yet the
lady herself is by no means of insignifi
cant bulk. It is a great mistake the idea
that thin women make the most success
ful smugglers. The slightest additional
fullness betrays them. But a plump di
vinity can add fifty pounds lo her tour-
nure nnd no one will be the wiser.—

L'tilhlrcn’s Teeth.
A mother of several children lately
told mo some of her experience. A lew
years ago slie thought tlmt her oldest
boy’s teeth in tho front of tiie lower jaw
were decaying bndly. This was a dis
appointment to tiie mothor, who had
fed her children carefully on nourishing
and wholesome food, as a general rule,
keeping botli pickles and confectionery
from them. Studying the matter over,
she jumped to the conclusion that what
she had read concerning tho miscliicf-
mnking properties of the tomato must
be true, especially as her husband, who
was very free in his use of tomatoes in
their season, had a peculiar trouble
with Ids tectti. She had observed that
the children’s (especially the boys’)
teeth grew whito and clean when tlieic
was plenty of ripe tomatoes, and sho
thought the acid of tho vegetable proba
bly wont too far and acted upon the
onamol of tho teeth. But when tho boy
then fourteen years old, went to a den
tist to liavo hfs teeth tilled. Lo! there
was no filling to be done. “Your boy
has a splendid sot of tooth,” the dentist
told the mother. "There is not a cavity
in them. Unusually good teeth for a
boy of his age.” And the dentist had
no doubt that the teeth were better than
they would have been if the owner of
them had munched candy and pickles
as children usually do. “ They must he
cleaned, and that without delay,” he
said. So tho tartar which had gathered
and crusted gradually at tho crown of the
teeth was removod by the dentist, and
with it all appearance of decayed teeth
Now the boy has nothing to do but to
keep his teeth in order to avoid den
tistry bills in future. The younger
children are warned to avoid the older
brother’s trouble by the daily use of
tooth brushes. From their father’s
case they learn to avoid the opposite
extreme. His teeth are hopelessly dis
colored, and a few are habitually loose,
but the useful tomato is no longer sus
pected as the cause. He had an oppor
tunity to read some in a work on den
tistry, and came to the conclusion that
hnrd “scouring” of his teeth with
gritty substances, when ho was a young
man, had worn away the hard enamel
of his teeth so that the strong coffee
he drank (during his soldier life
especially) penetrated and permanently
colored his teeth. I dislike to hear of
scouring the teeth. When they have
been neglected this may be necessary
to got them once clean. The dentist has
peculiar tools for removing tarter crust,
but the yellow deposit on children’s
teeth can be cleaned away as the dentist
does it, by aDy one. Take finely pow
dered pumice stone and a little clean
soft pine stick to rub with. Dip the
pine stick into water and then in
pumice, and rub the teeth gently.
Alterward wash them with soap and
water, using a tooth brush. It is well
to use a little fine clean soap occasion
ally lor cleaning tho teeth, but plenty
of pure water)a little warm in the cold
weather) will suffice for cleansing the
teeth of persons of dietetic habits. To
make good teeth in the fiist place be
ginning when we can begin, and allow
ing tor “ ancestry ” the mother should
eat plain and nutrious food, a varied
diet well supplied with bone material,
as the grains are when it is not bolted
or sifted out, and lean meat. For young
children milk should be freely used,
and Graham and oatmeal also.—Ameri-

To Keepliamp Chimney* from Cracking.
The following recipe for keeping
lamp chimneys from cracking is taken
from tho Diamond, a Leipzig journal
dovotod to the glass interest: Placo
your tumblers, chimneys or vessels
which you desire to keen from cracking
in a pot fillod with cola water; add a
little cooking salt, allow the mixture to
boil well over afire, and then to cool
slowly. Glass treated in this way is said
not to crack even if exposed to very sud
den changes of temperature. Chimneys
are said to bocomc very durable by this
process, which may also be extended to
crockery, stoneware, porcelain, etc.
flatting out Plant*,
Iu setting out plants of any kind tho
greatest ol care should bo taken. Eve
ning is the best time for doing the work,
ann early morning tho next best. If it
must be done in the middle of the da>
wiien tho sun is hot, they should lie
well wet down before removing and the
ground where they are set also well
watered and kept so until they get a
good start. A temporary shade may lie
arranged to advantage when convenient.
If tiie work can be done in cloudy or
rainy weather, it is all the better.
Chinese Treatment of Animals.
They never punish; hence n mule that
in the hands of a foreigner would be not
only useloss, but dangerous to everyone
nbout it, becomes in the possession of a
Chinaman ns quiet as a lamb and ns
tractable as a dog. We never beheld a
runaway, or a jibing or a vicious mule
or pony in a Chinaman’s employment
hut lound the same rattling, choorfu
pace maintained over heavy or light
roads, by means of a tur-r or cluck-k,
tho animal turning to tho right or left
and stopping with but a hint from the
reins. This treatment is extended to all
tho animals they press into service
Often have I admired the tact exhibited
in getting through narrow crowded
streets ami alleys by merely having a lit
tle boy to load one of tho quietest of the
fiockin front, tiie ot hers steadily follow
ing, without the aid either from a yelp
ing cur or a cruel goad. Cattle, pigB
and birds are equally cared for.—Trav
