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.” HUMOUS OF THE DAY. Do you endorse a scoundrel when you make yourmark upon liis back ? Without a liberal use of the rod it is impossible to make boys smart. To give a man a hard name—Call him a brick. At wliat season did Adaui leave Para dise? In tlie fall. If seven days make one week, how many will make one strong ? If forty perches make one rood, liow many will make one polite? The best tiling to give to the poor— Employment. An eclipse of the sun —Cut off with out a penny, llow to make time go fast —Use tho spur of the moment. An Omission or the I’oets.—Cow per speaks of “the bubbling and loud hissing urn.” The same little machine, when it won’t either bubble or hiss, ilia) be described as tacit-urn. “I have a great love for old hymns,” said a pretty girl to her masculine companion. “I am much fonder of young hers,” was the reply. A brother chip says lie is as fond of a compliment as Jim Lane of Kansas used to say he was of grouse. “As to grouse,” said Jim, “I am as the boy in Indiana was as to ginger-cake: he said he reckoned lie did like ginger cake better’ll any boy in Indiany, an’ got less of it!” i A certain Washington Senator is noted for the regularity with which he takes his morning cocktails; not cocktail, but two cocktails on each occasion. Being asked the other day why one glass of the eye-opening beverage did not suffice him of a morning, he exclaimed thus : “When 1 have drunken my first cocktailj 1 feel liko another man; and then, of course,.as a matter ot courtesy, I have to ask tl c other man to drink !” A Satisfied Woman. A distinguished Western poetess had the courage to assert in a lecture the other day that “Woman was an after-thought' of the Almighty,” and 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, but ifrtiust be confessed (hat a con tented Woman 'is* One of. the most charming of a!l created things. GLEAMXGS Keep good company. l’ay thy dues willingly. Cast not offan old friend. Form is good, but not formality. Great events give scope for great virtues. Caution is the lower story of pru dence. If thou come as a guest stay not too long. Great receipts render us liable- to great accounts. Good intentions never justify evil deedsi That civility is the best which ex cludes all superfluous formality. Be meek, merciful, patient and thankful. Greatness of mind is always com passionate. Great designs require great consid erations. Guilt is ever suspicious and always in fear. Prove all tilings ; hold fast to that which is good.— Paul. Algor says: “God hands gifts to some, whispers them to others.” Let your losses in the past be your lessons in the future. Dr. Johnson says : “He who wai to do a great deal of good at once wil never do anything.” Rutherford says: “The chariot of God’s Providence runneth not upon broken wheels.” Alger says: “Those who have not suffered know not what they have to gain.” Socrates says 4 “He is not only idle who does nothing, but he is idle who might be better employed.” Many a man dreads throwing away his life at oiiccq who shrinks not from throwing it away by piece meal. The mind lias more room in it than most people think, if they would only furnish the apartments. Dr. Johnson says:’ “The chains of habit are generally too small lo be felt till they are too strong to be broken.” Luther said: lam more afraid of my own heart than of the Pope and all bis cardinals. I have with me the great Pope, self. True faith makes the siuucr hum ble, active and self-denying; false faith leaves men proud, indolent and selfish. Truth is not always won by long and hard toil. A moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experi ence. Every period of life lias its peculiar prejudices. Whoever saw old age that did not applaud tho past, and condemn the present times? Rowland Hill was a shrewd obser ver. lie says : “I would give noth ing for that man’s religion whose very dog and cat arc not the better for'it. Grammar is learned from language more easily than language from gram mar; criticism from works of art more easily than works of art from criticism. Suiely happiness is reflective, like the light of heaven ; and every coun tenance bright with smiles and glow ing with innocent enjoyment, is a mirror transmitting to others the rays of a supreme anil ever-shining benevolence. 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. Diluted carbolic acid has been used with great success. We present this matter to our readers, so as to put them on their guard, and it will be well to have carbolic acid on hand, it is easy and safe in its application and not apt to injur if not used too strong. A drench of acid to a pint of pour water, will lie about wrigiit strength. —Hand World Fidelity in Ljttj.e Things. —Great ! virtues are rare; the occasions for them are very rare ; and when they do occur we are prepared for them; we arc excited by the grandeur of the sacrifice; we arc supported cither by the splendor of tlie deed in the eyes of the world, or by the self-compla cency that we experience fiom tlie performance of an uncommon action Little tiling are unforeseen; they re turn every moment; they come in con tact with our pride, our indolence, our haughtiness, our readiness to take j offense; they contradict our inclina-: lions perpetually. It is, however, | only tiy fidelity in little tilings that a ; true constant love to God can he dis-j tinguished from a passing favor of I spirit. 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. Plain hair is rapidly becoming the fashion. How sorry wo are for tlie unfortunate girls who have ruined their front hair by a long course ofi hot iron and crimping-pins. Wc won der if false fronts, such as old ladies used lo wear, will be adopted lo hide deficiencies.” The gayest letter in the alphabet—l 7; it is always in fun. ' 1 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) Washington. 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 dress. Black silk trimmed with white tulle is much worn in half mourning for evening dross. A man witli a scolding wife says he lias less fears of tlie jaws of death than of the jaws of life. Plcatings of white (idle, headed with white lacc, arc handsome trim mings for evening dresses. 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 the style for dresses, wraps, etc. 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 iting, and full trains in evening cos tume. Bonnets are rated indispensable for dress occasions by tlie upper-ten, hats being only worn in demi-toilette. A young lady being asked to play tlie “Maiden’s Prayer,” cheerfully struck up “Mother, may I go out to swim ?” 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.

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.
