The Stay-at-Home.
A SOUTHERN SKETCH.
Everybody knew where Davenport's
was, and everybody made pilgrimages to
it m t ne hour or need. Ao matter
whether the need took the form of
spool of sewing silk or iron castings for
gin stands somewhere among Daven
port's heterogeneous stock it was sure to
be found. "'Davenport" sported no
sign. It was proudly independent of
any such factitious aids of prominence.
As well label the county court house as
plaster, a sign on Davenport's time-hon-
uvea rront. lhere was but one court
house and one Davenport's and honors
were easy between them in Slowville
Furthermore (apropos of a sign ), human
ingenuity would have been staggered to
comprse any inscription for a sign that
wo ild h ive been measurably descrip-
vive ul i ne onu poaruia on uavenport s
shelves.
Mail day was Davenport's harvest day
but matters within the store must be
pressing indeed to foree Davenport riim
self behind the counter. He looked
curiously out of place weijjhins? plug

molasses in payment for a dozen eggs,
There was a totally irreconcilable in-
cougruity between him and his stir-
ronndings. He bad the build of an
athlete, and was one, without any scien-
tific training. His head snperbly
shaped, and set squarely on a coluimnar 4
throat, was covered thickly with a yeW .
low mas of short crirls, and his chin :
with a long silky '; beard of the same !
color. Jlis eyes Were blue and bright
and penetrating. A pure baxou type ;
was Davenport, with a general sugges-
tion of great pnysical strength and
deliberate purpose about him. If the
gray store with its assured income had place out into the bigroad so dark that
not come to him by inheritance, doubt- i he did not M?e a motionless group of
less he would have, done something horsemen drawn across his path way un

fcee away from home to school,
"couldn't be apared from the store."
He had grown up in it, but has never
grown into it. JHidden somewhere in
that muscular organism of his was a
dumb unsatisfied longing for better
things to do and to be than fate had
! so far accorded him. When the war
broke out it was with an envious pang
he saw other fellows go off to the field.
He won fcaYe oxe to 0 with tnenii

j but, looking his duty squarely in the
face by the '''best light he had, there
seemed to he a stronger call to stay at
home. He grew into a monster in local
estimation. His staying out of the
array had secured him the contempt of
the neighborhood; his busy, earnest
speculation excited its disgust and hor-

was no longer proud of him. She hung
her head for hioi, and be knew it
knew it, nrJ winced under it
silently, and thought enviously of the
men who weie oil with the army,
fighting and being wounded. He would
gladly have exchanged his wound for
theirs.
When the river w.os blockaded and
all the country on both sides of the
Mississippi, from Vieksburg to N:ev
Orleans, was- virtually in a stage of
siege, people said : "Now Davenport V
hour of triumph had come," and those
who had been most open in denouncing

true, of course, but it had better bect
left unsaid, fot' irr all the country
nowhere but at Davenport's were medi
cines, or sugar, and tea, and meal, and
everything that went to sustain life to
be procured. lhe grinders ceased
grinding and the gn at mill wheels stood
motionless, lhe ungathered crops stood
in the fields, at the mercy of marauding
cattle. A universal paralysis seized
upon the land. Pallid-faced women
asked, What next?
Yes, Davenport's hour of triumph
had come !. lie did not call it his hour
of triumph. He simply said that had
befallen which he had known all along
fnust come. Then, judiciously, wisely,
patiently, he began his ministrations,
meting out comfort of a material sort
with the stern impartiality of a judge
on the bench, aud the patient tender
ness of a Joseph yeaning over his suf
fering brethren. Nothing that led to
the relief of necessity was too remote
for his acute grasp of the situation,
nothing too minute to secure his at
tention. Without price he gave up his
hoarded substance, and long after
white sugar became a luxury too costly
for consumption on the table in the
little white cottage, Randolph Fair
fax's wife had it n hers. There had
been no one to help him bear the bur
den of the obloquy that had been his
share, and now, when the women who
had so misguided him crowded about
him with wordy recantations, lie smiled
at them inscrutably, and they were
comforted. They said among them
selves: "He took it so-ligntly, he
had never cared much." Kot much
you see there wasn't the making of
a hero in him. All the glory was re
served for the men who had gene away
in uniform. '
It was in the third year of the war
that Randolph Fairfax came home
wounded, not badly, but he had fought
splendidly and was entitled to a short
respite. He tried hard to say something
handsome and grateful to Davenport
about the way he had looked after his
wife and children during his own ab
sence in the many, and he sincerely
hoped those Sharp and foolish words of
his about Davenport's beard had died
from his memory. They had not he
felt quite sure of it when Davenport,
resting his blue eyes calmly on him for
a moment, turned slowly on his heel
and began giving directions about a kit
of mackerel that was to be sent to old
Mra. Murray back in the Red Lick set
tlement. Fairfax did not come to the
store any more after that, but remain
ed closely at home on the plantation
so closely that he did not hear what
Davenport heard one morning from the
trembling lips of one or Fairfax's own
freed salves. What Davenport heard
was that a nosse of the enemv was
eroimr to raid the neighborhood that
night to capture Major Fairfax; he
wouM be a prisoner well worth their
efforts. It was left with Davenport to

the task. The
lrtnrr
lonely gallop
through the woxls and across the
swollen sloughs over the weed-grown
fields must be taken by himself. It
was accomplished safelv, and at a
slower pace he turned his tired horse's
head homeward. He would have liked
to Iravel faster, for Fanny would be
worrying about his not getting home
before dark, but he must have some
mercy on the jaded beait under him.

These fellows were on well-fed army

flashed lightning to find it discredited.

iHRSWTJ YANKEES ARE MAKING
GREAT FORTUNES OUT OF
LITTLE THINGS.
The ingenious toy-maker of old who
made a coach-and-four, complete as to
all details, so small that the shell of a
hazlenut would cover it, has been sur
passed in the line of ingenious play
things by a Khodo Island Yankee.
With true Yankee shrewdness this toy
maker has so constructed his creations

two channels into one coffer. The de
vices are the little gold and silver
steamboats, locomotives, fire engines
and Corliss engines which are found in
luxurious New York saloons and hotel
lobbies, in one amusement hall and in
public resorts all over the Union. The
idea of constructing these toys, whose
n.echanicism should be made to move
by dropping nickels into a slot in the
pedestal on which they rested, origina
ted with an ingenious New England
model-maker, and fortunes sire now
being made out of the enterprise. One
large firm in Providence. Rhode Island,
has a large factory devoted entirely to
the business, and scores of men em

motives, or steamers of certaiu well
mown manufacturers of lines, which
kivs the company for making them a
handsome sum for adreftising their
corporations. Thus money from two
I sources accrues to the rich Yankee who
riginated the idea. One of the first of
heir machines was the model of a
team boat placed in a Chicago saloou
f note. Since that steamer was put

Arisen devices have been pbtced iff New
York resorts, and the makers have their'
models in saloons as far west as Den
ver and as far south as Texas. In the
places "frequented by the poorer classes
they have music-boxes, which are oper
ated by dropping cents into the slots.
The average income from these is $5
per day. The Yankee has not yet been
able to make mnsic-boxes that equal
uiose oi tne swiss manuracuire, ana
the makers of the toys in question, all
i" eii r i J
of which are provided with music-boxes
send abroad 50.000 a year for them.
The most profitable model is a steam
fire-engine. A magnificent locomotive,
perfect as to every detail, rank3 next in
popularity. Its machinery works, its
electric headlight blazes forth, and a
music-box underneath it plays popular
airs at the instance of a nickel. In a
few weeks habitutes of one New York
place who choose to spend their nickels
on ilie device will see the perfect mod
el of a modern perfecting printing
press, which will throw off as souvenirs

copies or a newspaper. ine manurac
tnrers will derive income from the
nickels, .from the royalty paid by the
newspaper advertised or from certain
firms whose advertisements appear in
the souvenir.
In addition to these toys are ma
chines made by a .New "York firm
which gather in the nickels at a sur
prising rate in much frequented resorts.
One of thee gives the depositor of a

other shows his weight. One of the

stock of the company making these
machines last mentioned is so greedily
taken up that none is on the market.
Branch corporations for introducing
their nickel collectors Into, Europe are
to he organized.
The New England Yankee inventor
who iirt originated the idea is making
a miniature race course for sporting re
sorts. Several little hordes run about
a circular hurdle track so constructed
that no one can tell which horse will
win. The toy will give betting men
a chance to wager their money on the
minature horses and the owner of the
invention a handsome income from the
nickels of the betters. Louliville Cou-

Fiercer and fiercer grew the fury of

with the thought of her husband's dan-

Oh. I

It is, first, to make such 'an impre
:oii upon others that they wi!i feel
contented in our company. This can
not be if we have not at least tiie art
of keeping in the background all our
selfish feelings aud our egotism. The
person who poseses wealth or grandeur
must not oontiuually parade that fact;
nor the person possessed of great learn
ing make others feel uncomfortable by
contrast. There must be a sympathetic
response to the interests of others, and
there must be ability to comprehend
their feelings and preferences, and to
shew deference to their peculiarities.

Canon Wilberforce calls America
'the great Anglo-Saxoniziug machine
of the whole universe." It has a
tough grist in some of the Anarchists,
but, by the aid of a little judicious
hanging upon occasion, the great miil

A, gentleman of this city thinks of
starting a dime museum as soon as he
can obtain the following curiosities.
He expects to make a fortune. He
wants:
A man who e.m hrinrr nrnnf thuf h.-
has kept a dairy for onehundred conse
cutive days,
A man who never lost an umbrella,
A church-choir siuger who never
flirted with the soprano.
A? third-rate actor who never hmuitad
of his so-called "mashes.'
X man who is so strong minded that
he don't feel a little uneasy if he sees
the new moon over the wrong shoul
der. A girl graduate whose commence
meat es&iy was worthy of serious at
tention. 1
A college graduate who does not
think himself able to manage the af
faire of the nation considerably better
than those who ore at present strug
gling with them.
A man who. no matter how profound
his learning or consistent his philoso
phy, cannot be twisted around the lit
tle finger (so to speak) of any pretty
woman who thinks it worth her while
to trouble herself about him. (A large
salary will be paid this person, and ha
will be starred).
A self-made man who never studied
the light of a pine-knot.
A rulman car porter with a con
science. ( Fancy price paid if existence
of conscience can be proven.)
A woman who, no matter how ugly
she may be, dcx?s not believe the man
who tells herthat she is the loveliest
of her sex.
A newly-returned European tourist
who can talk about anything except
what he saw "on the other side."
A man that can spell tiis own name,
and yet never, wrote a line for publica
tion. The Overfeeding of Infants.
f" 1
Medical News.
From some inquiries recently made
at the Philadelphia Hospital we learned
that of sixty-six louhdhngs received
during four years into that institution
thirty-five died within the first year.
It is true some of these deaths were
caused by measles, but the great major
ity of these infants perished from-what
though commonly known a3 marasmus,
really means starvation. Now the--starvation
was not an inadequate sup
plv. v: absolutely unsuitable character
..f food, rr failure to give it at proper
intervals, but too much was given.
The moit fnqr.ent mistake is the
artificial nourishment of new-born in
fants in giving them the quantity of
food which the infant at six months, .
for example, requires; disorder of the
digestive organs quickly follows this
constant overload of the stomach the
child soon looses its plumpness, then
beeojmess rapidly emaciated gastric ca
tarrh and diarrhoea sets in, and the poor
creature dies starved to death by over
feeding. The proper remedy, the true
way to prevent this evil in public in
stitutions and often ia private practice,
is to have nursing bottles which will
only hold the quantity of food needed;
for example, instead of using a bottle
which holds from four to six ounces,
as that generally used does, employ one
which will only' hold two ounces for an
infant during at least two month3 of
its life. -
