The Gold Buttons.
The bell rang. Betty lmd gone out, and
I happened to be left alone with the chil
dren, so 1 went to the door. A woman,
whose face struck me as not only pale, but
ghastly, stood there. For a moment her
lips worked. Their trembling made me
pity her. It was evident that she was a
sufferer, too much overcome by some painful
emotion to make her wants know n.
“Come in out of the sun,’’ 1 said; “you
seem to be in trouble.’’
“I am—not at all well, madam, ' she said,
at last, “and should be so thanklul for a mo
ment’s rest.”
“Come in and welcome,’’ I repeated, for
her low voice and correct language impress
ed me. She entered and sat down wearily
in the hall, bending her head upon her
hand.
“Have you been walking far?” I asked.
“Yes,” she replied vaguely, “that is, uot
not far, but wandering round, you know. ’ —
Her smile was strange as she looked up at
me. For a moment I feared her brain was
not right.
“It takes so long to do these little things,
you see,’’ she went on, turning a thin, well
worn ring round her attenuated linger, “es
pecially, when one is not: ccustouied to i\
I have known better days. ’’ Then she hesi
tated, put her hand in her pocket, and took
it out again empty.
“It’s the cry of all of them, you might
say”—she went on twirling her ring again,
nervously, and' drawing a short, heavy
breath that sounded like a sob—“they’ve
all seen better days; but I might prove it
I have sold almost everything of absolute
value. I’ve not been idle. I tried to work.
I did work ; but I’tu not able—not able, I
meanr, to sew rapidly, though I might do
much in a family. I've been in hunger
often, rather than part with one decent suit,
and I’ve—l’ve sold the last of my jewelry,
but —these.’’ Here she fumbled in her
pocket again, and brought forth something
wrapped in soft white paper. Her face
quivered all over with emotion ; her fingers
trembled as she thrust them towards me.
“If you'll buy them, you may give me
what you please. I can’t get their value.
I don’t expect that; but I thought—l
thought”—the haggard, imploring expres
sion of her face finished the sentence more
powerfully than words—“l thought may
be you would pity me and help me.”
I unwrapped the parcel further, and two
rich gold studs dropped into my hand.—
The woman was not looking at me now. —
Her eyes were downcast, her head was low
ered. The position was a cowed and fright
ened one.
By this time my own hand was trembling.
My husband was a jeweler, and 1 knew
those buttons, for he had brought them home
the day before, as a gift, and taken them
back to mark. The initials were there.
I am quick-tempered, and I felt the blood
flying to my face. AH the poor creature’s
destitution and evident misery were forgot
ten. I turned upon her. Only her hands
were visible, and they were covered with
tears. Pown they came, great drops, plash
ing heavily. My indignation was gone.
“I cannot buy these,” I said, command
ing my voice, “but you shall have some
thing to eat, for I fear you are hungry as
well as tired, and if I have any change you
are welcome to it.’
I shall never forget that look, as she
raised her face.
“0 ! madam, madam, send me cut of your
house. Don’t be kind to me. You don’t
know what I am. You don’t know what
I’ve done. It is the first time. I was hun
gry, desperate—l stole them. Now send
for a constable.’’
“My poor soul,’’ said I, “I knew all that.
These buttons are mine. My husband is a
jeweler on A street. See there are my
initials.”
“You knew 1” she gasped, and her face
grew like marble. Another moment, and
she fell heavily and corpse-hke at my feet.
I don’t know what I might have done
but for those repentant tears, that, anguish
ed confession; but what I did do was to
restore consciousness, then to pity, forgive
and comfort the poor, tempted creature.—
And to-day that woman is a valued member
of my family. I would not fear to trust
her with uncounted gold.
Curiosities of the Marriage Service.
A clergyman in Hampshire, England,
writes :
If you had married as many couples as I
have you would be aware that it is not only
when German princes appear at the hymen
eal altar in England that, novelties in pro
nunciation occur, and foreign matter is in
troduced in the marriage service. In my
parish it is quite the fashion for the man
in giving the ring to say to the woman,
“With my body I thee wash up, and with
all my hurdle goods I, thee and thou.’’ To
which strange trio he pertinaciously adheres,
in spite of all my endeavors to correct the
text. Oae man who could not read, but
had taken praiseworthy pains to learn his
' part beforehand, had perfectly mastered
what he was taught, only unluckily his
“coaeh’’ had blundered upon the baptismal
instead of the matrimonial service, so when
interrogated as to taking the woman to be
your wedded wife, the bridegroom stoutly af
firmed, “All this I steadfastly believe.”—
The women are usually better up in this
part of the prayer book than the men, but
one day a biide, (taught in a Government
school,) startled me by making the extra
ordinary vow to take her husband “to ’ave
and to ’old from this day fortn’t for betterer
horse for richerer power in siggerness else
love cherries and to bay.” What meaning
this marvellous farrago conveyed to her
mind it is beyond the power of mine to im
agine.
A Scamp.
I was not little interested a few days
since by the details of a death which had
just taken place in one of the dark garrets
of Paris. inhabitants of the obscure
street in wbieh it occurred, had for many
years grown familiar with the strange attiro
vff a hoary-haired beggar who lived in their
midst. His dress was peculiar in that he
always wore a ragged ceat which reached
nearly to the ground, and in that his pants
were twice as large as necessary, lie lived
entirely alone, and rar ly ever spoke to a
human being, except when on his begging
tours. No one knew him, and he knew no
body. He wore one wooden leg and walked
on crutches. It was his custom to go forth
in early morning and call regularly at the
coffee-houses and restaurants of a large cir
cuit of the city, and make appeals for alms
in behaif of the legless old man tliut lie was.
And in this way lie succeeded in living on
the public for a long period of years. But,
as the old fellow couldn’t Jive always, he
died finally, lie died as he had lived,
solitary and alone. But when the neigh
bors and police at length discovered the fact
and penetrated the secrecy of the miserable
hovel, they wore not a little surprised to
find the wooden leg quietly standing behind
the door, and the corpse of the legless beg
gar well and properly furnished with two
perfect legs. The old scamp had worn
large pants and a long coat to disguise the
fact that he had doubled back and bound
up one of his legs to give place to the wood
en cheat. Thus had this unknown, name
less individual lived and died. Many dif
ferent kinds of alcoholic drinks were found
in his room.

For the Southern Christian Advocate.
HOW SHALL WE LIVE ?
Mr. Editor : The above query has been
frequently propounded to me, and I will
now endeavor to answer it through the Ad
vocate.
The drought is so extensive as to cause
serious fears of famine; and without string
ent economy and industry in preparing this
winter and next spring, there will be actual
suffering of man and beast. I have trav
eled over a good portion of Middle Georgia,
and I have seen but a limited portion of
the country that will make enough to sub
sist upon the coming year, and as there is
but very little money in the country, and
nothing making to bring in money, we must
depend upon our extra ingenuity in making
large supplies through winter and spring.
How is this to be done ?
We should sow rye, oats and barley, and
yellow clover to subsist our horses and hogs;
sow oats and wheat in large quantities for
bread next Summer and to feed our horses ;
we must now dry all the fruit we can • save
all the hay we can, such as pea-vines and
swamp-grass. These will all aid in subsist
ing man and beast.
And let every family plant Irish potatoes
to do them until next Fall, and let every
man sow turnips and gather peas to fatten
his hogs, for with meat and Irish potatoes
we can do without bread, and having meat
we can cook vegetables. Therefore, let us
plant largely of all kinds of vegetables, to
supply the place of broad; for bread is out
of the question with many.
I have made these suggestions that they
may meet the eye of those who are* at a loss
to know what to do to save life. This
course occurs to me as the most proper plan
of meeting the scarcity that will inevitably
prevail next year. I hear some saying that
they will not fatten a single hog. I say,
fatten every hog you can, if it takes the last
bushel of corn. We can, by making Irish
potatoes largely, do better without corn than
meat, for the wheat crop of this year will
supply us, perhaps, until the early crop of
potatoes will do to use.
I have suggested fruit dried in
large quantities. This will prevent the
scurvy, while we are using meat without
bread; and for the same reason I have ad
vised the free use of vegetables. While
they arc quite nourishing, they will pre
vent scurvy. This seems to me the most
prudent course we can adopt to prevent suf
fering. If others can suggest any thing in
addition, I hope they will do so ; for we
are to pass through scenes we have never
witnessed before, and will need every pos
sible aid to reach another crop; for this one
is a failure, and the most complete failure
that ever befell this country.
I. J. M. Goss, M. D.
Fattenin'*; Stock. —Stock, says The
Rand World, will fatten better in the dark
than in the light—better in the fall (on ac
count of the longer nights) than in the sum
mer. With less food more weight can be
secured in the dark than in the light. Ex
periments have sufficiently demonstrated
this. The pig-pen should be dark—we have
! often seen it made so with the finest effect
!in favor of the fattening stock. It is known
that light toughens the tissue. For a work
horse the sun is excellent; for the working
man the same ; but not for the accumulation
of fat. let bow few people take advantage
of these things.
Worcester Sauce. —Mrs. Dr. Gage, of
Union District, sent to the State Agricultu
ral Society of South Carolina, in 1858, the
following Ilecipe, said to be excellent: Take
one gallon ripe tomatoes, wash and simmer
them in three quarts ot water, boil it half
down and strain it through a seive. When
all is drained, add two table spoonsful of
ginger, two of mace, two of whole black
pepper, two of salt, one of cloves, one of cay
enne; let them simmer in the juice until
! reduced to one quart, pour in half pint of
best vinegar, then pour the jvbole through a

How to Dress Poultry —Take a
knife and sever the artery or jugular vein in j
the neck, or take an ax and cut the head off,
let it bleed so as to draw all the fever from
the fowl in case it have any. Dip the body
in boiling water, then pick quick; when
through douse the fowl in hot water again, 1
then throw it into a tub of cold water ; let
it remain three or four minutes, this will
make it swell out plump, and will keep
twenty-four hours longer than if it was not
thrown in the cold water. — Wendell's Poul
tr•>/ ’Guide.
Economical Wicking. —A correspon
dent says: “In the present high price of
kerosene lamp wicks, people can make a
better wick than they buy by taking cotton
flannel, of which all have pieces, and folding
it up three thickness, just wide enough to
go into the tube, and catching the edges
with coarse stitches. The wick w.ll burn
well, and can always be easily rolled up and
down.’’
Facts for Housekeepers.
A green corn dish for breakfast: Boil
more than enough for dinner, take the re
maining ears the next morning, and with a
sharp knife cut through every row of kern
els, then scrape them from the cob, put them
in a saucepan, add a little salt, and a very
small piece of butter, turn on milk enough
to cover, and heat till the milk boils. A
breakfast cake: Two cups corn meal, one
cup flour, teaspoonfui salt, tabespooaful mo
lasses, two cups cold water or milk, a small
teaspoonful soda. The yeast prepared by
the Hungarians will keep a whole year.
During the summer season they boil a quan
tity of wheateu bran and hops in water; the
decoction is not long in fermenting, and
when this has taken place they throw in a
sufficient portion of bran to lorm the whole
into a thick paste, which they work into
balls that are afterwards dried by a slow heat.
When wanted for use they are broken, and
boiling water is poured upon them ; having
stood a proper time, the fluid is decanted,
and in a fit state for leavening bread.-—-
Dickies already made can bo preserved by
putting in a few roots of horse-radish. If
the vinegar is pure and clear, they may
be kept for months without scumming over.
A tablespoonful of flour to each squash
and punqkin pie is equal in value to one
egg. Paper, torn up in small inch bits,
makes a good bed, as a substitute for hair or
feathers.——Give 3*our bens with their food
at the rate of a teaspoonfui of cayenne pep
per every other day to a dozen fowls. It
makes them lay finely.
