Forcjiplne. ; A lively lad had been to see his 'girl and was riding home about two o'clock in the morning, through the , pitchy darkness. At an unexpected moment his horse reared' bolt upright and, ca?m near dislodging him. " He hehl the afii uialin, although it still plunged a;:d kicked and snorted as though in .terror of some to .him Wmiseen object. While trying to fathom the darkness he heard the fierce whizzing of missies like arrows past Ills head and something the soles of his "boots. Rightly coujec turing that his horse Jiad run upon a porcupine, he put whip and got out ot further clanger. The horse ran . for nearly a mile and then began groaning, and finally lay down in great pain, llis own feet were paining him intensely. Attempting to pull off his boots he found, them absolutely riveted to his feet. The quills hadworked through and were one-half in the boot-sole and the rest in his loot. He sat there and endured nearly three mortal hours of agony, until they made their way through the uppers 01 his boots. In the meantime the horse died and the man himself ha? not been able to walk for months. . But it remained for anoth er unsophisticated dweller on the moun tain tops to enlighten tiie public on the thieving proclivites of this same upecies of porcupine According to this statej uient, in the autumn of the year they visit the orchards when the apples fall, and by rolling over them attacli them to their quills In large quantities, and carry them off to their dens. When porcupines are plenty all the apples are carried out of the orchards, aud the irate, pomologist no doubt attributes jtheir disappearance to the villyge boys, lie gave'several instancosof their pe datory habits, but one will suffice to show what they can do. Missing large quantities of apples, he lay for the in truder one night with aehot jjur.. . Pre sently he espied a porcupine come into the orchard andnake up to the choice - Ue whweXheaieUow .and luscious ap ples la thick" uporrTthe'gTOiiad.

"How larsre was the borcuoine? how much did it weigh !';. I ventured to . ask. ... "Well, it. was some two feetlong and six inches high would weigh five or six pounds before it was skinned," was the reply. Two bushels and three pecks of green apples, would weigh about one-hundred rrjd " twenty-five pounds, and would make a good load for a full-grown man. And yet there are plenty , of ..people, both in town and country.-whosay that newspaper men are. given ;to making reckless statements. But what is most singular about these pqreupine stories is that thera is riot nowandnevef were any porcupines In this country, outside of zoological gardens! anil traveling menageries. . Another curious fact is that I have heard preciaely these same stories told me with the most solemn earnestness and without the slightest variation, in almost every part of the T ' : v, l, ., v : 1 l. .- kiuuu, ujr pcieuuo uu nave uciwiui ', read nor traveled- Upon inquiry I . have also found that the ancestors of ,; the people who' most j frequently tell ibem were originally from Southern J Europe, and it is reasenable to infer that these wonderful porcupine stories have been handed 'doWn through tra dition for at least live hundred years. k - - i - The Pilgrimage to ulecca. . E ver since the foundation of Islam,for twelve centuries, a caravan of pilgrims - has, year after year, started from Dam ascus for Mecca after the conclusion o " Ramazan Fast. For! some time past several of the tribes inhabiting North ern Arabia, have been in a state of open revolt against the sovereignty of , the Pedishah, and have taken possession oj the main roada leading to Mecca and Medina, which hep propose to hold against all comers, with the object of levying blackmail on the pious pil grims. The Porte has, therefore given orders that the caravan bound from Damascus to the Holy City shall this year be escorted by two battalions of infantry, a squadron of cavalry and a battery of artillery a force sufficient to deal summarily and conclusively with the rebellious children of the des ert who have announced their inten tion of "looking out for the caravan." fVho Should be Umpire ? A story is told of the-embarrassment of a bright Hartford girl at the late Yale com niencenient, who was regaling a party of students with anecdotes and class-day. gos sip in the parlor of thelNew Heaven House, saying, among other things, that '"The class president tells me he is a little worried about the thirteenth toast to-night." -'How so?" "Why, he says the man who is to , respond to it is a very poor speaker if he . don't drink, and worse, if as is too often the case, he drinks too much. The ques tion ts, who will see that he drinks just enough V A dumb silence followed this tale, during which a young man with flushed face got up and' left an adjacent seat from which he liad been an unobserved but attentive listener. "Who is that gen tleman?" said the lady. "That is Snr'th, who is to respond to the thirteenth toast, " was the reply.

Aisif 6AKJjEN The Darlington Dairy. The fol lowing accouBt of the manner of con ducting dairy operations at the .Dar lington --dairy. Delaware county, Pa., where from 140 to 150 cows are usually kept in milk, will be interesting. The milk is strained into common tins five or six inches in depth, aud set away in the milk house to raie the cream. It usually.remains about thirty-six hours before skimming. ."When the pan is tilted slightly on one side; and the cream parts readily from the side, it is considered to be ready to skim. When taken oft, the cream is put into large tin pails or cans holding five gallons each, and hoisted on a dumb waiter to the upper story, where it is placed -In the spring water eeveral inches in depth, until' churning time. In win ter a little sour milk is put into the pans of milk to hasten the rising of the cream. The temperature of the air In the lower room is from fifty-five to six ty degrees, according to the weather. This room is ventilated by flues in the walls and by double hung windows, but there are no appliances for warm ing it, aa it is not used in the winter. The cream is churned twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings. There are two large churns, revolving hori zontally, and driven by a sweep power outside. When the creanT is put into the churn, a suitable quantify of an natto dissolved in milk is added to pro duce the desired color, which is nearly that of j good Jersey butter. If the weather is warm, the cream iacdblecl with ice to a temperature not exceeding fifty degrees. The usual time occupied in churning is an hour and a halt. Sometimes in summer the butter ecmes soft, as with other dairymen", but gen erally it is in very good condition. The creum gathered in three or four day3 is enough to fill four churns, so that two churnings have to be done in one fore noon, producing from 330 to 375 pounds of butter. The butter, when taken from the churn, is carried to tables in the upper room, where , it -is worked over. The salt is added at the first working, The butter is not" washed, but the buttermilk is extracted by ab sorbing in a moist linen cloth, which is frequently wrung out in clean water. It is thus thoroughly worked in masse ol ten or twelve pounds each, anu is then passed om to the weigher at an ad joining table. This operator forms the butter into a rough cone, and transfers it to the ciolder on the loft. This work man has pound and half pound 'prints" of a nea-pattern, and, turns out the nicely finished and attractive lumps very rapidly. I hese are regular ly arrranged in square zinc trays, sev eral inches in depth, Which float on fine surace cf the cool spring water. How to Conqckr a Balky House. I would prepare myself with a good strap 1 want no whip ; perhaps he has got taste of that already, and lie is still master, But some fine day when I was at peace with myselt and all around 1 would hitch him to the buggy, turning his head to the village. Jle goes half the way well Indeed ; then he begins to consider he has gone lar enough m that direction and stops. I step down ; he exnects me to nse the whip, lie is mistaken. As a criminal I treat him on the silent system. I push him back a little out of the way. I show him the strap", putting it to his nose. I go to the offside and buckle it to his fore leg, close up to the breast, throwing the other end over his shoulder. I then raise his near foot and fix it with the hoof nearly touching his bellv. This done, 1 say to hini, JNow, old chap, you stand there." I don't smoke, so I take a packet, anu, milling a pluco where I can sit down aud he see. me, I begin to read. This is something he did not bargain for, and' the novelty of standing on tnree i"gs somewnat di verts his mind from the cause that stopped him. I think tins is the chief point to be gained, ana tne. more Hu mane. He now shows signs ol a wish to go, but that does not suit me at the time, as I have yet to look over "John Caldigate." When the strap is taken off I show it to him, caress him a little, and we move on without irritation. The strap will' now become a part ot the harness for a montli or two, tin at last the sight of it will act as a talisman. Live Stock. During the hurry of work at this busy season, trie stock ought not to be forgotten, he ot the most lmnortant requisites ior ncauii and thrift is regularity in feeding and watering. This refers not only to times of feeding, but to quantities and quali ties of fodder. -JNOW tnat grass is past its beet state, the stock may have some roots pulled for them, or some -corn-, fodder cut, and young aniinalswill be greatly benefitted by a little concentra ted food. It is important that live stock have a plenty of good fresli,water, especially at this time of the year, when the herbage does not anoru me auiut dance of juices of spring growth. Farmers provide pure water for your stock. Water that is not pure enough for you to drink, is not fit for your horse or cow. Do unto them as you would have them do unto you in the matter ot water at least. Under a Glass. A glass tumbler turned over an herbaceous cutting in an open pot will often prove highly ad vantageous. It is best to whitewash the glass inside with a wash of lime, Spanish whiting or white clay. A house too closely shaded by trees will be apt to sufler from, dampness. In building let the living and steeping rooms, as lar as possible, face toward the South, and thus gain the advantage of the sunshine. The sun is a great preserver of health. Frorarbs Concerning Wives. All womeu are good, tjiey are good for something or good for nothing, and their dress usually shows which it is. A good wife is a good gift of a good God, and the workmanship of a good husband. As the good man saith, so say we; but as the good woman saith, so it must be. The obedient wife com mands her. husband ; the disobedient wife cannot command herself. A man must ask his wife's leave before he cau prosper; for a man's best fortune or- his worse, is his wife. Many blame the wife for their own shiftless life. Beau ty in a woman is like the flowers in spring; hut virtue is like the stars of heaven. There is many a good wife who cannot sing and dance well. He that hath a bad wife has purgatory for a neighbor; but says Solomon (he wise, "A good wife is a good prize." Pretti- ness makes no pottage. The foolish woman is known by her finery. A wife is better chosen by the ear than by the eye. A fair face does not s weet- en a spoiled dinnet. . .7 , - A Drt, Rasping Cough, irrigate and e dang ers the Lungs, and great.y debilitates and' an noys the pailent.

THE HOUSEHOLD. Tripe a la Ckeolk. Tripe is excel lent if properly cooked, hio-hlv riia-e.ri. ble, and is often of great ali use when weak stonachs will not di gest ordinary animal lood. In select ing tripe in market, take the small thm pieces which have already been parboiled; pick out those which have small patterns on them, like lace-work; there are coarser kinds comino- from the same animal which are not quite as tender; cut about two pounds of tripe into long, thin strips not more than half an inch wide by two or three inches long; wash for a few minutes in tepid water; slice two onions, and chop fine and put into a frying-pan with a tablespoonful of the best butter; take three tomatoes, put in scalding water and remove the skins; when your onon Is perfectly brown, put on the tomato in slices; take two cloves of garlic which you rub down smooth, a pinch of parsley, with some pepper and salt; put this in the frying-pan with the onion, let this cook fully six minutes; then add a good glassful of white wine; let them simmer; have the tripe now ready, having heated it thoroughly in a saucepan, with the least water possible ; mix the tripe and the sauce together in the saucepan, and let cook together,; serve it as hot as possible. Meat Scallops. Take small scallop shells or small patty pans, and line them with mashed potato :' mince any kind of cold meat, and mix with it a little bread crumb3 and minced boiled onions, seasoning to taste, and moistening with a little gravy -, put a layer of this over mashed potato in the shell, placing a layer of mashed potato on the top, smoothing nicely, and pressing at. the edges in scallops; lay a thin bit of butter in the centre, and brown in a hot oven. Allow one shell or pan to each person. Tea Cake. Beat two ggs with two tablespoon fuls of white sugar; add four tablespoonfuls melted, but not hot, lard or butter; add one quart of sweet milk, little at a time, with flour suffi cient to make it like muffin batter, only a little stifl'er; add half a cupful of yeast anu let it rise, then put it in the pie pans and let rise again, while the fire and oven are getting ready. . The above will make two cakes. This re ceipt is new to me, but I know folks who esteem it highly. I suppose the cakes are split, buttered and served as usual. Moonshine. Beat an egg very light, add a small pinch of salt and as much flour as it will take to make a stiff paste, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of baking powder or soda, in the flour; knead it well; break off a piece like a marble, roll as round as possible and flatten out very thin; then drop into boiling lard and plenty ot fat, so they will float; they cook instantly; lay a piece of cur rant jelly in the centre of each ; roll them all out before frying any.
