AC.IT SABEK.I'B TBIALATIOKS.
I wss sittio' one cold eyenio' a spell
•go, meditstin' sud toeia' of a stock in',
that I was knittin' fur a nephew of mine,
wiien I heard sambody rap. It kinder
startled me at fait, for I'm a pour, lore
oretlur, and there is so uiaoy tramp*
pokio' round, that oatterlj I ft It sorter
skittish Howsumover, I took the kero
*ene lamp, and went to the door—and
behold I there was the same nephew of
tuine—Robert Grime*—that I had been
koittio'for, aod a grand lookia' gal with
him.
I was real tickled to see Robert. I
had the biiagigjt up of-tl»t> boy—-most
ly ; I washed his fmce ana combed his
hair, evry morn in' for about nineteen
years, and spanked him when oooasion
required, I snook hands with bim aud
then he said :
"Allow me to iotroduoe mj wife—An
na—Aunt Sarena "
iSakes alive ! I was completely beet !
The idea of that bifalutio' thing bein'
By nisce ! Why she looked as if she
was Queen Viotry, at the very lean !
1 axed 'eui to cum io, aod tbeo I see
that her dress was draggin' about half a
yard oo the floor Tbioks I, oow sum
body has stepped oo the baok bredth
aod ripped out the gethers It's too
bad ! But before I bed time to speak
about il, she a little swish, aod sot
dawn and then I made up my mind that
them are gathers was ripped out purpose.
I axed 'em if they bad beo to supper |
and they sed no. They had beeo travel
io' ever sense moroio'. Ho I made a
rousio' eup of tea. aod sot out the table.
I put out a plate of eold beaoa, eaua'
sometimes folks want suthio' hsarty, to
'menceoo, when they beo travelL. 1
sot on a plate of piek lee, sum bred, ohese,
aod douuts, aod one of my beet puokin
pies. Then I told 'em to set up, aod
have some supper.
The minit that gal tot site of the ta
ble, she throwed up both haods, aod
jelled -
'Halted beans! Oh, boVror ! Robert,
do hand me a vioergarett—l sball surely
faiot 1"
I sprung right up, and says I, I don't
know anything about your vinegar at,
but here's sum good aider vinegar ; p'raps
that'll help ye. Waot a swallow on't ?
and 1 held the bottle right to her mouth.
But aba pushed it away, and Robert
said:
T'm sorry, aaot, bat my wife is so
extremely delieate, that she never oould
bear the sight of baked beans !"
''Fudge aod fiddle-sticks !" Lelekit!'
said I; "more likely she had to live oo
'em to hum, till she got eiek on 'em !
I'll earry the things iff-—then p'raps
•he'll revive I'*
"Just then she spied the piokles, and
eaid to Robert.
"What are those green things lying
in the dish before you f"
"Them's oowcumber pickils, yon nin
ny," sed I, "for I begun to think she
didn't know nothio'.
"Cow whit T" sed she
"She means cucumbers," sed Robert;
yon have eaten cuoumbers, haven't yoa,
dear ?"
"Oh, yes," ssid she ; "but really until
this moment I always imagined they
grew in elioes 1"
"Where on ainh bev yon been, and
what bev you been doin'," sed I, "that
you don't know enny more ?"
"I attended boarding school till my
eduoation was finished, aod mamma oever
would allow me to oome near the kitohen
But I have done lots of worsted work ;
I'll m*ka yoa the loveliest sofa pillow,
some day, with a dog on it."
"Young womai," said I, "I bev gott a
pillow osto my sofa in the parlor sit is
made of goose feathers; it's a span olean
pillow oase, and I won't bev no nasty
dog a settin' oa it—l tall you."
"She means a worsted dag oo canvasi
auat,' aaid Robert.
'Waal, I doa't wait any of them ar
things I don't aappoae yeu could gat a
mtal of vittals, eould ya ?' aed I
'Ob, BO I' said shs, in a borified tone.
'Waal, what be yoa goiag to do, new
you're got married f sad I.
'Board, of course, like other peeple.
my dear aunt."
'Waal, like enough if Robert's wall,
aod has a bigh salary, you'll manage to
get aloag. But what are yeu goiog to
do if ha should bo siek ?"
'OH, I'm one of the eheerfal kiud ; I
never borrow trouble. But really, auat,
I should like to take a few lessdnd in
oookiog of you. It would be such .in.'
I looked at her as she sot there, with
that long silk gowod 00, big gold thus
shaking in both ears, gold bracelitl, a
long ohain with a watch on the eod of
sod ourls aod braids and trisste*
awhiskia' every way, and I ssd culmlj :
'I guess you'll bev to take off sua of
them fixins aod get ioto a sensible cati

eysr bad, that girl was the wust Why,
she dido't kuow nigh as much a* I
thought she did at fus'., aud that was
useless.
The fust time I let her make the tea>
sh* put in, ss nesr as I kin calkorlate,
about half a pound of my best green tee
and then filled tho teapot with water
You oan imagine the result.
One day I had a lot of carpet rags I
wanted to BOW, and I thought I'd let her
get dinner alone. I lold her I thought
we belter have some biled rice for top
pin' off, caase that was healthy and
Robert was powerful fond of it. I told
her she mite jest run down to the store
aad git sum. I told her to put it on
airly, so as to let it cook slow
I got so engaged io carpet rsgs thst I
didn't go nigh the kitoheo, for oact sll
the mornin'.
About half past 'leven she ouni to the
settin' room door, and sed she wished I'd
cum out snd see about tbst rice. Shs
didn't know what to do with it.
So I went out— aod massy sakes ! the
sight was enough to disgust a stsrvin'
savsgs ! There was my kittle that would
hold a pailful, on the stove running over
with rice, and shs had got every bowl
and tin dish in the house full ef biled
rioe She ssd the stuff kept eotcing up
and she dido't konw what to do with it.
I looked at ber, and sed as calmly as I
could : 'How much rice did you put
into that kittle t"
'I got four quarts, aunt, snd T put it
all in,' ssys she.
I didn't say anything more ; I oould
not. We fed the bog on biled rioe that
day, and I told Rob«rt kinder oonfiden
tially, that I had a strong mind to make
a good mustard plaater, aod put it right
on top of that gal's besd, aod mebbe if
she hsd euy grsins of oommon sense,
'twould sort of draw 'em together, for I
was siok trying to make anything of bar.
One Saturdsy moroiog just as I bsd
got reddy to go to bakia', one of the
nsybors eum io, and sed I must cum rits
ov*r to his houss, for ooe of tbe youag
ones bad got the oroop, or bopia' ooff,
or sutbio'. I didn't know how to leave
but Anna sed :
'l'll make the pis*, suatis; I've seen
you make them so many time*, I know I
oso.'
'Waal,' thinks I to myaelf, 'l'll Ist
her try.' I told hsr where things was,
ss I was gettin' reddy, told ber I short
ened my pie erust with Isrd tbsn mixed
it with sower milk ; esuse I thought it
wss softer that way. I told her tbe lard
was ia the Duttory, out up in ohunks on
a plate.
Waal I went off aod dido't get home
till most supper time. Shs had got
things in tolsrble order, eooaiderin'. I
kinder felt enoouragei ; thought mebbe
I shouldn't need tbe mustard plaster
srter all.
Sb« mado four pies. They did look
sorter deotnt, aad I put ooe on the table
for suppsr.
Just as soon as I tasted it, I knew
tathin want right. The fust mouthful
made me siek. 'Anns Orimes,' sed I,
'for oonseienoe sake wbst bsve you put
into these pies V
'Why, just what you did, sunt — I put
in aioat a whole squsre chunk of Isrd,
and I had to out it all up into little
pieoea It wouldn't dissolve.'
A thought struok me all of a sudden,
sad I ris right up aad went to the bat*

bad shortened her pie erust with bard
toap I had jsat bought a dosea bars of
hard seap and put it on ths bottom sbslf

I gave right up that nite. I told hsr

V The Best Capital.
Tke best ospital, in nine cases out of
ten a young man can start in Ihe world
with, is rnbutt health, s.und morals, a
fair intelligence, a will to work his way
honestly and bravely, and. if it bo possi
ble, a trade—whether he fallow it for a
livelihood or not. lie cao always full
back upon a trade wh*n other paths are
olosed. Any one who will study th*
lives of memorable men—apart from the
titled or hereditary great —wili find that
a large maj rily of tbsiu rose from the
ranks with oo capital for a start, save in
telligence, energy, industry, and a will
to rise and conquer. In the mechanio
and artiaian purauits, in commeroc, in
agriculture, and even in the paths of
literature, soience and art, muny of the
greatest names sprung from poverty and
obsourity. Dr. Johnson made himself
illustrious by his intellect and industry,
so did Franklin, and so have multitude*
whose memories are renowned
I'REPARS ros * FBBSUKT —A theory
is advanosd, with plausibility, say* the
Chsrlotte Dtmocrat, that during the
long continued dry, hot weather, a vtst
amoant of water has been evaporated
from the ooean and now remains in sus
pension is ths clouds, and that at an
early day those clouds will pour out floods
,of oavping,overflo*a in rirere aad
creeks Hence it is suggested that all
oorn on low land* be immediately cut,
ita'k and all, and (tacked on high land,
to avoid de*truotion by freshet* if tbey
should occur. Aii old farmer tells UB
that it will not hurt the corn to out the
stalk and plaoe it in a safe plaoe ; that
the «ar will dry just as well ou such cut
stalk as if it was left standing where it
grew It woald bs well for farmers to
consider ths suggestion.
SALT IN INTERMITTENT FBVKH
Tske a handfuj'ol table salt aud roast
in a ol«an oyan with moderate heat till
it is brown—the color of routed coffee
Does for an adalt—a aouptpoonful dis
solved in a ({law of warm water; take
atones. When ths fever appears at
intervals of tws, three, or four day*, the
remedy shoald bs taken fasting on tb*
morning of ths dsy following the fever.
To overooma tbe thirst a very little wa

During the forty-eight hours which fol

Cornell University, give* thei-e short
rales for sotioa ia esse of aooident : For
dust in ths syss avoid rubbing ; dash
oold water in thom ; remove cinders, stc ,

Rtmove insects from tbe ear by tep:d
water; neyer put a hsrd instrament in

press it above the wound ; if a vein is

burn* dip th* part in oold wator ; if ths
skin is destroyed, covsr with varnish.
For spoplsxy, raise tbe beid and body ;

Sickness A Disgrace.
All bodily ailmeats ere more or less
urgent appeal for help; nor can we
doubt in what that hslp should uausist
The more fully we understand the na
ture of any disease, the more ciearly we
«ee that the discovery of the cause mtans
the discovery of the cure. Mauy sick
ues.ieß are caused by poisono, foisted
upon the system under the name of to
nic beverages or remedial dsugs ; the on-
I ly cure is to eschew the poison. Others,
' by habiu- more or less at variance with
the health laws ot nature ; to cure such
we have to reform oar habits. There is
nothiog acoidcatal, aud rarely anything
inevitable, about a diseate wo cao safe
ly assume that uiue out of teacouiplaints
have beeo csused atul can be outed by
the sufferers (or their curses, themselves.
' God made iu*n uprigh' j" every pros
trating malady is a deviation from the
stale of Nature. The infant, "mewling
and puking in its nurse's arms," ie an
abnormal phenomenon Infancy should
be a period ol'exceptional health ; the
young of other creatures are healthier,
us well aa prettier, purer, and merrier
than the adults, yet the cbildood years
of the human animal sie the years of
sorest sickliness; statistics show that
among the Caucasian races men of thir
ty have more hope to reaoh a good old
age than a new born child bas to reach
the end of its year. Tha reasjn
is this : the health theories of tbe aver-
ChristiaH man und woman are so egre
giou*ly wrong, that only the opposition
of their batter inatincts helps them—
agaiost thtirconsoience, as it were—to
maintain the struggls for a tolerable ex
istence with anything like success, while
tha helpless infant has to oonform to
those theories—with the about results.
"1 have long ceased to boubt," says
Dr. Sohro'lt, "that, apart from tbe ef
fect* of wounds, the chanoes of health
or disasse are in our own bands; aud
if people knew only half thefaots point
ing that way, they would feel ashamed
to bo sick, or to have aick children
[Dr. Fjlix L Oswald, in "Popular
Science Monthly" for September.
Do your work Well.
Daniel Webstar gives an aocount of a
petty lDsuraocs case that came to bim
when a young lawyer in Portsmouth
Ouly a small' asiount was involved and
a twenty dollar fee was all that was prom
ised. He ssw that to do his olient full
justice, a trsp to I3»stoo to oonsult tbe
low library would be desirable, lie
would be out of pocket by suoh an ex
pedition, and for this timo be would rs
ceive no adequato compensation. After
a little hesitation he determined to do
hi* very best, cost wkat it might. lie
accordingly weot to Boston, looked up
authorities aod gained the ease.
Yerrs afterwards, Webster, then fam
ous, was passing through New York.
Aa important insurance cases was to be
triod tba day altar his arrival, and one
of the counsels had beeo suddenly ili.
money was no object, and Mr. Webster
was begged to name bis terms aod con
duct tbe case. "I told them," said Mr.
Webster, "that it would be preposterous
to expect me to prepars a legal argu
ment at a few bours' notice. They in
sisted, however, that I should look at
the papers ; and this, after some dsmur,
I consented to do. Well, it was my
twenty dollar oase ovar again, and, as I
oevar forgot anything I had all tbe
authorities at my Sogers' ends. Ths
cart was astonished at the range of my
acquirements So, yoa see, I was hand
somely repaid both in fame and money
for that trip to Boston ; and tha moral
is, that good work ii rewarded in the
eod, though, to be cure, one'* self be
enough.''
How do you keep your Boom.
A look into the ohamber of a boy or
girl, will give on* an idea what kiud of a
man or woman, ha or (he will probably
beconso. A boy who keeps hii slothes
hang up neatly, or a girl whose room is
clean always, will be Tery apt to make a
suocssful man or woman. Order and
neatnes* aie essential to our comfort a*
well a* to that of othera about n*. A
bay whe throws down his cap, or boots
anywhere, will never keep hi* aooouota

her bed till after dinner—aad she shoald
tlways make It herself rather than have
a servant do il—and throw her dress
aod boonet down in a ehair, will wake
a poor wife nine cues oat ten. It tbe
