I've brought you up to b6 a gentleman and you shan't dis grace my family. You disgrace, I say, the nobl0 founder of my family, I refer to your great-uncle." "Confound my uncle !" it was on Paul's lips to say. for he was nearly sick of the name, but he said: "I have no wish to di.grce the family, uncle, I'm sure, and I canitsee what nty marrying HettieTravers has to do with it" " Vhy.

" He had more brains than half the aristo cratic!' - , " Brjains. sir brains !" burst forth Fend ricks the elder; "what is brains to blood ?

" Well.imy uncle theatens to turn me ont if I marry her, because her father was s tradesnian and you know," said Paul, with a scornful "laugh, "owing to our uuclej that's beneath us." " I kno, my dear fellow ? I know noth ing, about it or of the strong box and the mystery." "Well, to explain matters I must go back eome years. My grandfather, who was a simple farmer, married the daughter of a poor, but aristocratic family. From that day life was a harden. By her pride and arrogance she made his days miserable and iinalli' succeeded in driving his only son by a first wife from the house. This was my gj-eat-nncle. Will Fendrick. " She said his Tjiahits were low. He protested that theref was no disgrace in honest labor and that slie with her wretched pride, had made theth beggars. . . -'Well, lor many years Will Fendrick was not heard of until rumor reached his stepmother that' he was cutting a great dash in New York and was looked upon as one of thi most elegant men in society. Whpn he died he left $10,000 and an iron box, which was not to be opened until June 12, 184. The money was the founda tion of my uncle's wealth ; the box the foundation of his pride.".

An Old Athlete nnd Trainer TTaiiOM Same Valuable StigetIous to ' You irg Hen, Few people have any idea of the amount of good even a moderate amount of exer cise regularly taken will do them. Many a young man thinks of how much care he would take of his health and strcngih if he were only able to join an athletic club and devote the amount of time he thinks necces try to his physical devel opment. There . is scarcely a m&n who can not spare ten minntes every morning and evening when rising and re tiring. The sleeoinar" chamber, no matter if it is only a little hall room in -a cheap boarding house, can now, by means of the inventions of late years ia a gymnastic and calisthenic appliances, be mude into a miniature gymnasium. . A pair of dumb bells and a (air of Indian clubs can b easily pnrcrirtsTti. and in a half a day a rowing machine with a sliding seat tit iu, and a hooked contrivance by which all the movements of a pulling weicht box could be taken advantage ofplaeed on the walL A horizontal bar, to be raised or lowered, might also le placed in the door way and a punching bag could be kept in a closet and attached to it when desired. A young man who will fit up his room in this style and faithfully exercise ten or fifteen minutes every morning and even ing will soon make as great increase in all his .measurements in the course of three months as any menber of the costliest athletic club or gymnasium. If a young man who has a desire to im prove himself physically is willing to give the little requisite time and use a little in genuity he need not spend t&) or 40 in turn ing his sleeping apartments into a gymna sium, although an investment, perhaps, if he can afford It, of about $10 in one of the new style of rowing machines, which are so constructed that they can be manipu lated for almost any sort of exercise, will not be a bad venture. Few people have any idea of the amount of exercise that can be taken without either clubs or dumb bells and by using the hands alone 'to go through the common light dumb bell manuel. Kapid movements are the- most beneficial. . I'-eskles a row ing machine and paper weights, in lieu of dumb bells, acinar with wide apart and strong arms should be procured. If such a chair is not handy the edtre of the bed may be used, or the lioor, but the lat ter only after a little practice, if one is un used to exercising. Catching both arms ofthechair or the edgtaof the.bedinthe hands, or placing both bauds flat on the floor, the person exercising should stretch as far out as possible, bearing the weight on the raised toe. Then bending the arms the chest should come down so as to be even with the hands, if the chair is" used, or touch the edge of the bed, or floor, if it is not convenient to u.-e the chair. Then the body should be'pressed bacn to the first position by the strength of the arms alone. Thisshould be done until the exer ciser is thoroughly t r.d, which maybe be fore the body is raised and lowered half a dozen times." If one tinds himself weak it would I e Le' ter to try this exercise i.ist on the wall, as that stye will be fo:md much easier, ibis exercise win be rotinu one or the best movements to develop the muscles of. the back and chest and the extensor muscles of the upper arms. A harder form of this exercise is by placing two chairs back to back about a foot and a half apart, and with the hands grasping the backs letting the body down till the knees touch tne floor and pushing the body up as many times as nossiole. ' A stick a little longer than a cane can be . also used asa wand and a number or exer cises had. Improved calisthenics will be mainly used for the development of health and strength in the youth of the future, athletic authorities think. The light and quick have been for some time supplant ing the old system of gymnastics which made the muscles showy but slow. IPlay tilings of the Children in Africa The girls' in Africa, as elsewhere, are fond of dolls; but they like them best alive, so they take puppies for the pur pose, and carry them about tied to their backs, as their mothers carry babies. Some of them "play baby" with little pigs. The boys play shoot with a gun made to imitate the " white man's gun." Two pieces of cane tied together make the barrels, the stock is made of clay, and the smoke is a tuft pf loose cotton. In one African tribe the boys have spears made of reeds, shields, bows and arrows, with which they imitate their fathers' doings : and they make animals out of clay, while their sisters "jump the irorie." Besides, the African children, like children all over the world, enjoy them selves "making believe." They imitate fcheilife around them, not playing "keep house," "go visiting,'' or "give a party," beciause thev see none of these things m their homes"; but they pretend building a hu,ti, making clay jars, and crushing corn to eat. THE TPE-WRITER. A Labor-Saving machine Which Sprung Immediately Into Popularity. About ten years ago the first type-writer was invented. It was patented by two Detroit men who soon sold 'their rights to tne machine, but drew a royalty on it for some years. One of these men was a prin ter by trade, and for years he had been ex perimenting with a writing machine to supplant the pen. He first invented a machine for numbering automatically' the pages of books such as ledgers. When the type-writer was first upon the market it was a crude machine, very different from what it ia to-day. The foot was brought int operation in h to pull oacR tne car- FIORICULTTJRE. Husband "It looks like rain, my deir Don't you think we had better take an om biellM?" . .Wife "Oh! no; we don't want to be botheied with it.'' Husi and "You take gieat chances, my love." ' Wife "I know I do. If I was a man I would be a bold speculator. I would nev er be content like you to do an ordinary, humdrum business, that. would just bring mea living." Ae hour lattr the c'ui pie were sfandiqg in a narrow doorway, with theitin beaiing fiercely in. Wife "How I do look?" Husband ''Very much like -a specula tor, sharer ot my Joys and sorrowf." . somewhat like a sewing machine. There were various other clumsy appliances con nected with it, and the machine was re garded by the public more as a curiosity than as a practical writing instument. A few lare otlices, however, began to use type writers, and the instruments were seen where a large number of manifold copies were required and it was desirable to have a very plain and easily deciphered copy. Improvements were made from time to time in the mechanism, and as the machine was gradually being perfected it became more and more popular! Meantime its success prompted other in-, ventors to apply themselves to the snb ject of writing machines. One of the first to come out was invented In Sweden and patents obrained upon it througout Europe. The principle of this type-writer was radically different from that of the American machine. Instead of the type being arranged in a circular pocket and Hying up to hit the paper, iu the foreign machine the type ami keys were arranged like pins in a pincushion and the instru ment was in the hape of a hemisphere. With the keys stickiug out all over its st riate it very inn. li resembled a por cui i ne. This machine was very small and could almost be carried in the pocket. It ad many i:dvanta'gcs over the American .uacliiae and likewise many disadvan t ies. , Hard y had the fore'en machine been upon t.ie market than another' Amer can iua hine came out upon s ime of trie prin ci'iiis of the l.rst macii.n-. the patents urxui whi -.i had expired. This was fol lowed b anotheion an altogether different plan, the type being made of rubber and ad t' pc her on a little pad. When writ ing the let tor is brought over a small hoie i -. a pi ilea d through this hits the paper, all oUier t h-s at the same time taking up a ;-,uji ly of ink. on the other machines an inked r.bbon is brouuht between the type ami the paper, and the ink takes the shape of the letter pressing agaiust it. This was fcl!o ved by stiil another ma i hi ne v. herein h.' tyj e. made of hard rub ber in the form of a cylinder, revolved in a l,o. izo!:t;:l a ity and the paper was driven up against the type by th release ot a smad hammer every time a letter was stiuck. One of the advantages of this latter machine is that an infinite number of characters can be used in it. and tpe for writing in German and other foreign languages can be inserted at will. A member of the Turkish legation in the I nited States not long ago expressed his admiration of the tyi-writer and his intention of having one made that would write m the Turkish language. There are tidrtv-three letters in ihix languid, ' and Hassin Kffendi made a copy of tLem and gave it to an engraver to make a set ot letters for the type-writer. It was only at the last minute that he discovered that all type-writers work from left to right, as the "Kngli.-.h langcase is wrinen, while Turkish is written f roin right to left. The excessive cost of abering a machine to write iu this direction necided him not to get one. A type-writer for writing in any ia :age can be made, however. 'ine manufacture of type-writers is now an important American industry. Nine teuths of all the type-writers used in the world are made in this country. The traveler can now fhl the American machines in daily use in Kngland, France, Germany, Russia, and indeed -in all the Kurotieaii countries. The English govern ment, which is very slow to make changes of a radical or progressive nature, has adt)tetl the American type-writer, and in all the Government offices in India as well as those in Loudon and elsewhere the ma chine is now in constant use. The Cninese are about the only people who wid lie left out of the type-writing nations. There are so many thousand characters in their language that it would be impossible to construct a machine ca pable of doing the work. There are many thousands of type writers in daily use in 'New York City, and the instrument has long since ceased to be a curiosity. With the telephone, the Wall street ticker and the type writer a part of every well appointed office, the duties of ch-rics have indeed been revolu- ' tionized within the last half century. ery many authors now write ail oi their books anil magazine articles on the tvpe writer, among these are VV. D. How ells and Mark Twain. The Declaration of Independence was not written on a type wri.er, but if 'i'homas Jelierson lived in this age he would probably have ticked off" his immonal document upon one ef these little lubor saving machines. A le gal decision has been rendered to the effect that a 1th ugh type wiitten manuscript is printed it is wr ting all the same, and the Postal authorities regard it as written matter which must pay full postage. . One of the o enings for wo en that are Constantly coming up is copying manu script on "the type writer, and very many guls and xouiig wo.i.en now nnd it a pleasant and remunerative business Short hand writers have also found tue type wr lers a vautaole aid, and lawyers are beginning to use it lor writs and other legal uotumeiits. Therti ar.- now nearly a dozen different type writers on the market, each, of course, claiming to be the best. The pr.ces range froin fco to $100. The sale ot tne machine is large and constantly in creasing. , Curious Traditions of the Afthautee. The Asliante-es have this tradition, and on it their religious opinions if religious they can be termed are built : In the be" ginning of the world God created three white men and three whitewomen, three black men and three black women. That these tw elve human souls might not com plain of divine "partiality and of their sep arate conditions God elected that thev should determine their own fates by their own choice of good and evil, A large cal abash or gourd, was placed; by God on the ground, and close by the side of the cala bash also a small folded piece of paper. God ruled that the black man should have the first choice. He chose the calabash, because he expected the calabash, being 'so large, could not rut contain everything needful for himself. He opened the cala bash and found a scrap of gold, a scrap of iron, and several other metals of which he did not understand the use. The white man had no option. He took, of course, the small folded piece of paper; and dis covered that, on being unfolded, it revealed a boundless stock of kr.owledge. God then left the black men and women in the hush, and led the white men and women to the seashore. He did not forsake the white men and women, but communi cated with them every night; and taught them how to construct a ship ; and how to sail from Africa1 to another country for the circumstances of the dispensation happened in the heart of Africa. After a ctMIp t.hev returned to Africa with- vari ous kinds of merchandize, which they bartered to the black men and women, who had the opportunity of being greater and wiser than the white men and wom en, but who, ont of sheer avidity, had thrown away their chance.

C rep is bar bata and the golden head& , baritonia are two very early sorts and c-ntiuue to bloom until quite late in the season. The delphiniums are one of the handsomest and most useful of all our plants. The double dwarf rocket (ajacis hyaciuthinorum) is truly lovely the plants are from ten to twenty Inches high, and densely covered with heavy spikes of doubla flowers, fine and rich in coloring. Centaurea (sweet sultan) is quite'a curious and a. tractive plant in a garden : the blooms somewhat resemble a basket filled to overflowing, hence tUe name It some time has of basket plant. Candytuft is one. of our old garden favorites, but so much improved of late years as to be scarcely recognizable. The candytuft rocket is one of the very best; it blooms aoundantljv and bears large trusses of flowers of dazzling whiteness. Mig nonette is a sweet little plant, and quite indisiiensable for the bouquet maker. Two years ago I grew the parson's tree mig nonet e : it is truly a giant ; the flowers are almost pure white, of great fragrance, and borne on spikes from six inches to a foot or more in length ; the plant is fully three feet high, blooms until frost. Dianthus chineusis is one of the choicest of our annual pinks; mine of last year were very tine : the flowers are extremely doulde and rich in coloring, and will bloom tue second year if the roots are slightly protected during the winter. Those -who nave never grown the iongiflora four o clock have missed a treat ; they scarcely resemble the common tour-o'clock, the plants are of more prostrate habits, and the flower trumpets are from six to nine inches long, pure, waxy white and' ery fragrant; early in the evening the plants present a beautiful appearance, Gyprophelia mucalis is a lovely dwarf an nual; its delicate, lind .foliage and pink, star-shaped flowers are excellent for all kinds of bouquets, suitable for border e. gings or hanging baskets. There are very few flowers in cultivation that make so iliizling a display of beauty as a bed or' the brilliant colored poi tulaca. Phlox drommondu is one of our best annuals for all purposes ; they give a large variety of colors, and bloom abundantly until frost. ltst year I grew tnirteen distinct varie ties all in one bed, and they were lovely. eri.nia, and i ansies ar? old favorites of all, and no garden is perfect without them. A bed of petanias should grace every gar den, not oulf for their,? beauty, but for t heir fragrance A small bed will scent a whoic rarden.

The so-called Cheshire breed of hogs originated iu Cheshire, Eng., but has be, come ex' inct. There :s no such breed now raised r known in Cheshire, and has not been tor twenty years. There are so-called "C eihire" hogs in America, of some- n hat uncertain descent. The Chester County hite probably originated in Chester County, Pa. These hogs are large, hardy, str ng, vigorous, have good consti tutions, and breeel well. They have reached weights of from MX) to 900 lbs. At tte! Birmingham tiling.) snow ot 1882 t he weight of the winning pair of Toulouse geese was 45 lbs. 4 oz . This weight, of cor.rse. was only obtained by a very care ful and continued system ; 24 to 36 lbs, per pair, at one year old. are considered good weights. New and Old Seed. A writer in the London Garden, referring to the well known fact that new seeds usually germinate more quickly than old ones, says that many old ones will germ inate well with heat, that would perish in old ground, a fact which should be borne in mind by those who are testing seeds this year in warm rooms. Among tnose wnicn may be kept two seasons, are named onions, salsify, and some others ; while lettuce, tomatoes and artichokes will con tinue good three seasons ; cabbage,turnips, sninach. ' kales, etc.. four seasons: and melons, cucumbers and beets, for five or six seasons. It must, however, be borne in mind that such .rules as these are more or less arbitrary, as much depends on the fond it ion of the seeds, and the temner- atnre and dampness of the place where they are kept, and on the condition of the soil which receives them, favorable influ ences sometimes more than doubling their keeping, and favoring or preventing germination altogether. .Mother Apple In England. This excellent New-England Gen. Anson Stager, "Who died at Chicago on the 26th of March, was born in Ontario County, N. Y in 182Sw When sixteen years old he engaged in printing under the instruction of Henry O'Reilly, who afterward become a pioneer In the building and operating of-te e graphs. O'Reilly indnced young Stager to follow him into this undeveloped enter prise, and he took charge of the first office at Lancaster, Pa., on the line between Philadelphia and Harrisburg in 1840. From that time until his death he was prominently identified with the growth of the great electric belt. During the Rebel lion he was chief of the United States Military Telegraph and had charge of the cipher correspondence of the Secretary of War. He removed to Chicago in isfiu and became the leading : Western representa tive oi tne v antlerbilt interests. He founded the Western Electric Manufac turing Company, the largest manufactory of electrical machinery in the United States, and continued to be President un til January 1 of the present year. General Stager had been prominently identified with the develop :nent of the telephone business in Chicago and the Northwest. He also took a prominent part in the in troduction of the electric light and had been the President of the Western Edison Electric Light Company since its forma tion. Railroads also received a great deal of attention at his hands. COKUNDRUMS AND WISE SAYINGS. Can a gas meter lie any harder than a gas company ?

Washburi;e, Probably one of the best Ministers we ever had abroad was Washburne, at Paris. He made more of a mark for himself in modern times than any other Minister we have sent to Europe. Yet Washburne was the hero of an incident of social mis- .fortnne, which would have tlriven any of the delicate creatures now swarming after a foreign place to commit suicide if they had been similarly unfortunate. Wash burne was one evening at a court dinner given by Napoleon III. It was the cus tom at these dinners, when the Empiess arose to retire with the ladies, for -the grntlenien to rise from their seats and step back from the table, so that she could pass down the line between them. By this all coold avoid turning their backs upon the Empress. Washburne had very tender feet. During the dinuer his feet gave him a good deal of annoyance. To ease himself he had Quietly shooed off his Aiein o ikand by ut nrsfcnawn aaL Jiatent leather pumps under the table. 11 e iwiuduiwcu ui wii , en mil wn mu LUC close of the dinner, and was caught un awares when the Empress made the signal for departure. He was suddenly obliged to step back without having time to put on hli pumps, lie stood in his stocking feet, grave, digni.ied and self prossessed. In the row of grinning diplomats who stood at his right and left, he be trayed none of the embarrassment he must have felt, and was never heard to allude to the incident by any one. A". Y World Obedience as a Virtue. Obediencarts a requirement is well known, but as a virtue, for its own loveliness, it will have a strange look to many minds, " Many are in obedience from necessity rather than from love. These take it amiss, and repine for small cause." In this matter the care of children is important. They should grow up with obedience as a disiiosition. A temper for subordination they should cousider a vir tue well gained. "Tis well to give chil dren reasons, always when possible, for the benefit of their understanding and in acknowledgement of their dignity as thinking beings, but after rather than be fore the obedience, especially in early years, for the benefit of 'their trust, defer ence and obedience as a virtue. And, as there is no liberty without obedience but disorder and weakness, and therefore sub jection, what way is there to make liberty in the land, to erect a sound common wealth and to bring about that under standing - of freedom which, is national health and power, protection of the weak and uplifting of the poor. What way to these great and good things but to train the children to obey because it is lofty, and because obedience is the inner virtue, nobility and power of all command ? A Hawk Done to the Death by a hen. Four miles from Aiken, S. C, at the home of Mr. T. C. Harker, recently a matronly hen was cheerily 'lucking to her downy brood and industriously scratching for their matutinal meal when there ap peared in the sky overhead a huge hawk whirling in concentric circles. A sharp note of warning from the patriarchal cock hurried the feeding fowls to places of concealment, and, followed by the sharp cluck of the old hen. sent the infant Spring chickens scurrying beneat h the pro tecting wings of their mother. And none too soon came the alarm. The next in stant . there was a whirring sound in the air, and, with wings close in to his body, coming head foremost like a shot out of a cannon, the hawk landed among the panic-stricken brood. But he had reckoned without his host. Theold hen had sand in her gizxard and was true blue. With her wings extended and the feathers on her neck standing apart, she met the onslaught of the bird of prey. No sooner had he touched the ground than she was upon him. The conflict, which was wit nessed by several parties, was as brief as it was brilliant, an-1 before succor could reach the plucky little hen she had stretched the feathereil? pirate lifeless at herfeet. The hawk measured just 4 feet from tip ro tip, and was carried to Aiken and exhibited. A lucky blow from the beak of the hen entered the eye, and pene trated his brain. - " How do you pronounce s-t-l-n-g y ?" asked the teacher of the dunce of the class. The , boy replied r "It depends a good deal on whether the word refers to a person or a bee. " " My dear, "said Mr. Smith at the break fast table, why is this Mehdi called ' El?'

" Yes'm," promptly replied the grocer, but compromised by softly apolo gizing to himself that the honey might be glucose, but he had strained the truth about the honey." " j FLYING SCUD.

Get out from the shadow of a weary body, an overloaded constitution, an overtaxed digestion, and find the true spiritual life conditioned by none of these. And learn that true life deeper than noise, and true life deeper than pro testation and talk. Nor judge your suc cess by the crowds who gather or the mul titude who applaud, nor your failure by the stillness or apparent desertion. True success lies in changed hearts, in lives re deemed, in faces uplifted toward God.

NO MEDECINE OR SURGICAL- OPERA TION NECESSARY, There is a wide-spread and serious pre valence of disorders of th- kidneys ; andof various diseases caused by the imperfect operation of the kidne; s and liver Ac cording to KoUeits. Thorn: son, and other recognized authorities, kidney disorders are very common, but (lie obscurity of their . positive symptoms is so marked that many people, ill and out of sorts gen erally, are ready victims of kidney com plaint, and thev and their physicians do not realize it. Rheumatic pains, irregular appetite, frequent headache, chills and fever, "blues," hot and dry skin, sour stomach, dyspepsia, irregular a. tion of -the bowels, nervous irritability, muscular Soreness, ci amps, languor, impairment of memory, loss of virility, are among the preliminary evidences of coming kidney and liver derangements. As the disease develops then follow lame back, swelling ankles, pa'.e face, scalding sensations, the water sometimes being very bght and abundant, at others scarce, dark-colored and frothy, and abounding iu sediment, and. Under the microscope, in albumen anil tube casts. If the deranged kidneys ore not promptly attended to there is danger of the terrible Bright's Disease hitherto considered incurable, which is a consump tion or destruction of the kidneys the near approach of which alarming disorder should awaken the liveliest 'concern, for it soon hurries one. into the erave unless promptly checked. Disordered kidneys have the unfortun ate effect also of weakening the vigor of the liver, as indicated if mie has, besides the above symptoms, yellow spntteil skin, fat covered eye-balls, frontal headache alter eating, burning and itching skin, cold extremities, hot head, bad circulation of blood, sick headache, nausea, light colored evacuations, constipation, piles, variable appetite and feelings, dizziness, blurred eyesight, liver-cough, ague, chills, fevers, wakefulness at night, drowsiness by day, etc. These are some of the commoner symp toms as laid down by leading medical authorities, and with them in view one ought not to have much trouble" in ascer taining if he is suffering from disorders of these great organs. These observations have been called forth by a double-column ai tide which appears in another place in this paper. Skeptical of some of the statements made therein, and at other times by the same persons, we have been led to make a little study of the matter ourselves, with the above re sult. These diseases prevail amongst young and old everywhere, resulting. id terrible and untimely deaths; they take off more ieople than epidemics; physicians report death as occurring from such dis eases as apoplexy," paralysis, convulsions, heart disease, pneumonia,, fevers, etc., when in reality these disorders are often secondary to Bright's disease and would seldom occur were the kidneys in healthy working condition. Hence, from personal knowledge, or from the trustworthy experi ence of ot her competent judges, we believe there is no preparation equaito the remedy that is so prominently mentioned else where in this issue, for preventing and curing the dangerous disorders of which we have written. It has had an extraordi nary sale, is everywhere commendedthe record of its work seems indisputable, its manufacturers are reputed to be men of the highest standing. We hold, therefore, that not to use it, if needed, would be- a crime agaiust one's supremest interests, espec ially at this time when, threatened by a fearful epidemic, it is of the highest im portance, according to Dr. Koch, the cele brated German cholera specialist, that we keep the kidneys, liver and digestive organs in healthy action, if the scourge would be escaped.
