The Fisherman's Sou.
A gentleman walking on the bcacli
came across a little boy sitting on the
load all by himself, looking out on the
great ocean.
“You like the sea, my boy; do you
not ?”
“Yes, sir; and I hope to follow it
when I get bigger.”
“It is a hard life, besides being dan
gerous,” said tho gentleman.
“Yes, sir; but Jesus Christ went to
sea, and-he knows the dangers; and
sometimes he preached out of a ship.
I am sure lie loves a sailor,” said the
boy.
“But that will not hinder you from
meeting with storms, and perhaps
getting shipwrecked.”
"Jesus Christ'rules the winds and
the waves. .He stopped a storm once.”
“He docs not now,” said the gentle
man.
“No, sir; but lie will help us tp
trust in him; and, if we hold on to
him, nothing can much harm us,” said
the boy.
“You might be drowned.”
“Yes, sir.” The boy stopped. “But,
you know, my soul would then fly up
to God ; and it is all fair weather up
there.”
“Why, my little man, you are quite
a preacher!” said (lie gentleman.
"Father and 1 often talk these tilings
over,” said the little boy; “and When
lie is gone out fishing and leaves me
all alone at home, they arc company
for me.”
“The sweet, quiet, happy face of the
little fellow pleased me,” said the gen
tleman, “and I felt that lie had the
best of company.”
A Ghost Story.
Lord Brougham tells the following
gliost story on his father:
“On all such subjects my father was
very skeptical. lie was fond of tell
ing a story in which lie had been an
actor, and, as lie used to say, in which
his unbelieving obstinacy, had been
the means of demolishing what would
have made a very pretty ghost story.
He had been dining in Dean’s Yard,
Westminster, with a party of young
men, one of whom was his intimate
friend, Mr. Calmel. There was some
talk about the death of a Mrs. Night
ingale, who had recently died under
some melancholy circumstances, and
had been buried in tho Abbey. Some
one oflered to bet that no one of those
present would go down into the
grave and drive a nail into the coffin.
Calmel accepted the wager, only stip
ulating that he might have a lantern.
He was accordingly let into the cathe
dral by a door out of the cloisters,
and there left to himself. The party,
after waiting an hour or more for
Calmel, began to think something
must have happened to him, and that
he ought to be looked after; so my
father and two or three more got a
light and went to the grave, at the
bottom of which lay the apparently
dead body of Mr. Calmel. He was
quickly transported to the prebend’s
dining-room, and recovered out of bis
fainting fit. As soon as lie could find
his tongue lie said, ‘Well, I have won
my wager, and you’ll find the nail in
tho coffin; but, by Jove! the lady
rose up, laid hold of me, and pulled
me down before I could scramble out
of the grave.’ Calmel stuck to his
story, in spite of all the scoffing of his
friends ; and the ghost ot Mrs. Night
ingale would have been all over the
town but for my father’s obstinate in
credulity. Nothing would satisfy him
but an ocular inspection of the grave
and coffin ; and so, getting a light, be
and some of the party returned to the
grave. There, sure enough, was the
nail, well driven into the coffin ; but
hard fixed by it was a bit ot Mr. Cal
mel’s coat-tail! So there was an end
of Mrs. Nightingale’s ghost. This
grave afterward became remarkable
for a very beautiful piece of sculp
ture, by some celebrated artist, repre
senting Mr. Nightingale vainly at
tempting to ward from his dying wife
the dart of death.”

A Satisfied Woman.
A distinguished Western poetess
had the courage to assert in a lecture
the other day that “Woman was an

that her present position was her pro
per sphere. She set her face against
the progressive movements of the
Women’s ltights advocates, and ex
pressed her entire satisfaction with
the situation. This bold avowal ex
cited the indignation of a female suf
frage woman, and she immediately
went for the Western poetess in flic
columns of ‘The Devolution.” She
called the pobtess “a contented slave,”
“a traitor to her sex,” and other nice
things. Now, vyc stand in the utmost
awe of UuSe strong-minded women,

tented Woman 'is* One of. the most

Eggs For Sitting Hens.
It is good management to set several
hens the same day, and >vitli chalk
mark the day of the month on the
front of every nest-box; and at the ex
piration of about ten days take tlie eggs
out of each nest carfully, one by one,
and examine them, to see if they are
addle, by covering the eggs with the
band, except the two ends, holding
them up to the sun in close contact
with your eye, and all addle eggs will
allow the light of the sun to pass
through them, while those that will
hatch, will be very dark. All the
light ones should be thrown away, and
when so many are addle thrown away,
and when so many are addle as to al
low a ben to be “broken up” as it is
called, do so by placing her good eggs
under another ben, when you have
found a portion of her eggs addle.
Thirteen eggs are the most that any
ben, no matter bow large, should be
allowed to cover. The chickens too,
when hatching at tliesame time, when
any one has less than eight or ten,
giving to each from thirteen to fifteen
chickens to care for. The liens “bro
ken up” should be confined in a coop,
or yard, from three to four days, to
Wean them from their nests or chickens.
A New Disease Among Horses.
Our attention lias been called lo a
new disease that lias broken out quite
extensively among horses in this city
and vicinity. Its indications ai'e five
eschar on the licel about tlie size of a
fivc-ccnt piece. It sits into tlie foot
much like a sit-fast.—There is but lit
tle inflammation, pain or lameness.
Tlie tissue decays with great rapidity,
so much so that the disease surface
will be three inches in diameter and
one to two inches deep in forty-eight
hours. The hoof will slough off and
the entire foot will ultimately drop
off.
Scores of horses and mules in this
city, have been affected by this dis
ease.
Its nature and origin, was for some
time unknown; but careful micro
scopic observation demonstrates its
origin to be parasites. They seem
somewhat allied to Trichine and may
be introduced to tlie tissue by the
manure, as it is always tlie Rods that
arc effected.

liaising Melons.
A writer in tlie Germantown Telegraph
says:
Farmers ought more generally than
tiicy do to cultivate watermelons. They
arc a favorite fruit with most persons,
especially children, are healthy, and can
be raised over a wide extent of latitude.
A sweet, crisp watermelon cool from the
ice-house, tlie spring or tlie cellar, is as
grateful a dessert as ivc can set before a
friend on a hot August day. Among the
most pleasant recollections of my boy
hood are the melons and other fruits that
my father used to raise on tlie old farm.
In later life when 1 was called upon to
make choice of an occupation tlie thought
that these and other luxuries properly
belonged to the farm ail’d'might be, mine
with a little labor, did much to influence
my choice.
For several years past I have succeed
ed In raising a supply of good melons for
family use in tlie following manner: 1
select a high, dry piece of ground slopin'
to tlie south, plow and harrow well, lay
off the rows seven or eight feet apart;
put from one-half peck to a peck ol ma
nure in each hill, dampen it with a heavy
hoc or mattock, dig up the soil about the
hill ten or twelve inches deep and two or
three feet over, mixing the manure thor
oughly with the soil. I raise the bills
three or four inches high, put six or eight
seeds in a hill, cultivate well with tlie
hoe, and when tlie plants b#gin to run,
thin to two plants to a hi 1.
The striped bug seldom molests vines
manured in this way. Four years ago 1
had an opportunity of observing the great
difference in tlie quality of watermelons
grown ou different soils. They were
planted partly on tlie point of a bill, and
partly on a level at tlie foot of tlie bill,
where tlie soil was deep, rich and damp.
On the side of the hill the vines were
thin, the fruit well exposed to tlie sun,
and tlie melons were of the finest quality;
the rinds being thin, the llesli deep-col
ored and crisp.
Tlie vines on the low grounds were
very thick witli long leaf stalks shading
the melons which were of a very poor
quality, tlie rinds being, thick, the llesli
pale, tough and insipid. As the whole
patch was planted with the same seed, on
the same day, and received similar cul
ture, tlie difference in quality was evi
dently owing to difference in soil and sit
uation .
SALADS.
In early Spring the heart of man,
by natural instinct, “lightly turns to
thoughts of”—salad. Before the days
of forcing frames and canned toma
toes tliia instinct became a passion;
people aspired after green food with
a sort of thirst, watched for the first
leaf eagerly as Noah; and when it
came, like, tlie little Bride ot the Hol
ly-Tree Inn, “abandoned cf them
selves to it with a porfcct looseness.”
Even now, despite modern improve
ments, which give us green peas (sligt
ly flavored with tin) in January, and
liot-liousc strawberries at Christmas,
the first crisp bouquet of reel garden
lettuee is an event—significant as a
violet—forerunner of a long, delight
ful vegetable train.
There is poetry in salad. It has its
literature —its history. Tlie sage
Evelyn did not disdain to “discourse
of Sallets,” nor Sydney Smith to sing
its praise in rhyme. Reputation has
been won by a Mayonnaise, and place
and ribbon not thought too good for
the lucky inventor. The variety is
infinite. From simple vinegar and
sugar to Vivian Grey’s cucumber,
which, when complete, was thrown
out of window, every note of the
gamut of taste is sounded. “In the
composure of a salad, every plant
should ciinie to bear its part like notes
in music,” says Master Evelyn. There
is kind and degree to suit eacli vari
ous fancy, and a bard for every sauce.
First and best, because simplest,
stands French salad made of vinegar
and oil, three parts of tlie latter to
ono of the former, salt, and pepper.
For the proper composition of this,
an old proverb asserts there arc four
persons required—a miser to measure
the vinegar, a spendthrift the oil, a
sage to judge of the salt, and a maniac
to stir all together. The oil should be
pure, the salad-bowl heaped with
freshest cress and lettuce duly mixed,
and if the manipulator skillful, the
result cannot but be delightful.
For people who dislike oil there is
cream-dressing, made in this wise;
tlie yolks of two hard-boiled eggs are
rubbed very fine with a silver spoon ;
to these add a desert-spoonful of mix
ed mustard : blend the two thorough
ly, then stir in a tabic-spoonful of
melted butter and half a tea-cupful of
thick cream, a little salt and cayenne,
and, if desired, a dasli of anchovy or
Worcestershire sauce. Last of all,
add little by little vinegar enough to
make the whole a smooth, creamy
mass, and pour it on (lie lettuce jnst
before serving.
Salad Mayonnaise requires experi
ence and a certain knack, which tlie
French cooks say is a gift of Nature,
and not to bo acquired. Like the poet
a true salad-maker is sot apart from
liis brethren by a mystic chrism all
his own. “The one essential of the
Mayonnaise is oil—eggs boiled or
raw form the basis of the mixture, the
oil is added drop by drop till tiie paste
is thick as custard and smooth as vel
vet —a few drops of vinegar or lemon
juice complete it. Serve in a small
silver dish by itself, or poured over
tlie lettuce, or in a wineglass set in
midst of the lettuce-bowl.”
In tlie hands of a practical house
wife salad becomes one of tlie econo
mies of the tabic, working up all man
lier of residuary scraps, which with
out it would be cast aside and wasted.
String beans, button onions, a stray
mushroom or two, cold beets nicely
sliced and seasoned, boiled potato,
fragments of cold chicken or meat, all
find a place in the salad and lend it
variety and flavor.
A pretty ornament for tlie middle
of a dinner table is made by crowning
a bowl full of green lettuce with blos
soms of scarlet nasturtium. The flow
ers arc submitted to the dressing as
well as the leaves, and add a ceitain
piquant pungency to the dish which
must be tried before it can appre
ciated.—From “Home and Society,”
in Scribner's for Hay.
The practice of milking but once
each day, says the Hearth and Home,
were cows give but little late in the
year is a bad one. They shrink much
faster, and if young, the habit of not
“holding out —They should be milked,
as long as they are milked at all, twice
eacli day, and if well fed and well
stabled, tlie process may safely and
profitably be continued up to within
six weeks of their calving.

Washington's Masonic Apron.
In 1770 there was sitting at tlie tiblo
of the commandant of Metz, in Germany,
a distinguished scion of anancient noble
French family. During the conversation
at tlie table, tho Duke of Gloucester,
brother to the King ot England, spoke of
the Declaration of Independence, just
put forth by the Anglo-American colo
nies, and ot the strong measures adopted
by the Brittish ministry to crush the ris
ing rebellion. The young nobleman
listened in silence. lie was a boy in
form and personal appearance, just past
eighteen; but tlie heart of patriot and
hero was beating beneath his closely but
toned coat, and his imagination and zeal
were fired at tlie recital of a people light
ing for liberty. lie rose from tlie tabic,
hurriedly made his arrangements to re
turn to Paris, and revealed his high re
solve to liis equally enthusiastic wife.
I ie came to America, sought the acquain
tance of the Commandcr-in-Chlef of tlie
American army, and volunteered to light
in the cause ol American liberty.
Life, youth, fortune and tlie endear
ments ol' home were all freely devoted
to colonial emancipation. Just the
method to awaken the nobler sentiments
of the heart, self-sacrificing devotion to
the interests of others. Washington felt
the electric shock from this benevolent
heart, and took Lafayette to liis bosom;
nor was the bond severed till dcatli gave
tlie stroke ot mortal separation.
After tlie close of the war the young
nobleman, with more of manly maturity,
returned to Paris, and over and over
again, in glowing eloquence, rehearsed
the noble virtues of the great American
leader to liis young and charming wile.
She, like every true woman, was always
deeply interested in everything that
engaged the attention of her husband.
She soon came to reverence Washington
with a feeling closely allied to that of
devotion. She corresponded with him,
and received from him cordial invitations
to the simple delights or rural life at
Mount Vernon.
In 1784 Lafayette determined to visit
Washington in liis retirement. Madame
Lafayette earnestly desired to present
some visible testimony of her regard to
the! great patriot. Besides tlie bond of
personal friendship, there was a bond of
union between Washington and Lafay
ette of a different character. They were
members of tho fraternity of Free and
Accepted Masons, and botli loved tlie
“ mystic brotherhood.” Madame Lafay
ette took advantage of this charm to add
interest to her testimonial of esteem.
She prepared with her own hands an
apron of white satin, upon which she
wrought in needlework all the various
emblems of the Ms ’lie Order. This
she sent with tier husband to be present
ed to her ideal ol true greatness at Mount
Vernon. It was kept by Washington ns
a cherished memorial of a noble woman
during liis life. It now occupies a con
spicuous place on the walls ot the Grand
Master’s room in Masonic Ilall Philadel
phia.—Hpnsoii J. Loss tug's (.forthcoming)

Scraps for the Ladies.
All shades of brown and tan color
will be fashionable for spring suits.
Tunics arc much worn as overskirts,
and are of a darker shade than the

Black silk trimmed with white tulle
is much worn in half mourning for
evening dross.

than of the jaws of life.
Plcatings of white (idle, headed
with white lacc, arc handsome trim

Grenadine rubles will be used on
silk dresses, headed with a tucking of
silk of the material of tlie dress.
Black and white mixed or striped
or hues artistically blended, will he

Watered calicoes arc in vogue, and
most of the spring goods have white
grounds with bouquets of flowers.
Walking skirts barely touch tlie
ground. Dcmi-trains arc worn in vis

Bonnets are rated indispensable for
dress occasions by tlie upper-ten, hats
being only worn in demi-toilette.

How to Live.
The mere lapse of years is not life.
To eat and drink and sleep; to be ex
posed to the darkness and the light,
to pace around the mill of habit and
turn tlie wheel of wealth; to make
reason our book-keeper, and turn
thought into an implement of trade—
this is not life. In all tills, but a poor
fraction of tlie consciousness of hu
manity is awakened, and tlie sancti
ties still slumber which make it most
worth while to be. Knowledge, truth,
love, beauty, goodness, faith, alone
give vitality to the mechanism of ex
istence. The laugh of mirth which
vibrates througli tlie heart; tlie tears
which freshen I lie dry wastes within ;
the music which brings childhood
back; the prayer that calls tlie fu
ture near; tlie doubt which makes us
meditate; tlie death which startles us
with its mysteries; tlie hardships
that force us to struggle, tho anxiety
that ends in trust —these are the nour
ishments of our natural being.
White-washing Trees. —Do not
whitewasli tlie bark upon tho bodies of
fruit and ornamental trees. We are!at
a loss to know for what purpnses some
persons thus coat the bark of fruit aud
shade trees about their premises with
lime, unless it is to make them look
nice. It certainly does them morejharm
than good, as it serves to obstruct the
respiratory organs, and in a measure
prevents a thrifty growth. Should the
bark become diseased ant rough, or
covered with moss, scrape it thoroughly
with a hoe or scraper of some suitable
description; after which wash thor
oughly with a strong solution of soap
and water. If this is done properly
every season, it will prove a great ben
fit, by destroying the insects that prey
upon the bark, and otherwise promot
ing a healthy condition thereof, and in
creasing the vigor and vitality of the
tree. —Farm Journal.

It is the design of this Institution to afford
tlie very highest advantages for the educa
tion of young ladies, both solid and orna
mental. The regular course of study laid
down in our schedule is full and comprehen
sive, but not more extended than the pre
sent times demand of all who would enjoy
the benefit sand and istinctions of a finished ed
ucation. It will be our aim to train tlie mind
to habits of patient and independent thought
and to excite in the pupil that spirit of self
reliance which will be her best security for
future usefulness and independence. Buper
flcialuess in study will be utterly discard# a nd;
and ever reminding the pupil that there is
“no royal road to learning.”—the watchword
of the Institute will bo ‘‘hard work,” —by
which we feel assured the highest results of
education can only be attained. More Uian
ordinary attention is paid to the Fine Arts.
Mons. A. Esteve, who has won for himself
an enviable distinction in the Musical World,
is tlie Director of that important department,
and Madame Esteve has charge of the Vocal
classes. Tlie Modern Languages are taught
by native teachers of acknowledged ability
and experience.
The Institution is amply supplied with the
most, improved Chemical, Philosophical and
Astronomical Apparatus, and also with ex
cellent Geological, Mineral and Fossil Cabi
nets.

speedily eradicates Pimples. Spots, Sckof

and Incipient Inflammation, Hives,
Rasii, Moth Patches, Dryness of Scalp
on Skin, Frost Bites, and alipurposos for
which Halves or Ointments are used; re
stores tho skin to a state of purity and soft
ness, and insures continued healthy action
to the tissue of its vessels, on which depends
tlie agreeable clearness and vivacity of com
plexion so much sought and admired. But
however valuablo as a remedy lor existing
defects of the skin, H. T. Helmbold’s Rose
Wasli has long sustained its principal claim
to unbounded patronage, by possessing qual
ities which render it a TOILET APPEND
AGE of the most superlative and congenial
character, combining in an elegant formula
those prominent requisites, safety and ef
ficacy—the invariable accompaniments of
its use—as a Preservative and Refresher of
tlie Complexion. It is an excellent Lotion
for diseases of a Syphilitic Nature, and as an
injection for diseases of tlie Urinary Organs,
arising from habits of dissipation, used in
eonneclion with the Extracts Buchu,
