story :
I will tell you how it was. One
day when I was a lad, a party of
boys and gir is were going to juck
blackbcrrit. I wanted to go
with them but was afraid father
would not let me. When I told
him what was going on, and he
utt once gave nie permission to go
with them, I could hardly contain
invself. I rushed into the kitch
en, jrot a bijr basket, and asked
mother for a luncheon. I had the
basket on my arm, and ,was just
lif-ini: out at the gate, when my
fsithi'T called me back, lie took
ruy hand and said in a very gen
th: voice: "Joseph, what arc
voir going to do?" "To iick
berries," I replied "Then, Jo-
seph, I want to tell you one thing
It isthiR : When you find a prct-
ty gooi Inisti, no not leave 11 to
seek a better one. The other
novs and girls will run about pick
ing a little here and a little there,
wa-ting a great deal of time, and
getting few berries." . -
I went and had a capital time.
Bat it was inst as my father said.
No sooner had one found a good
bush than he called all the rest,
and they left their several places
and ran off to the ne'vly-found
treasure. Not content more than
a minute or two in one place.
they rambled over the whole pas
ture, got very tired, and at night
had very few berries. My fath
er's words kept running m my
ears, and I "stuck to mv bush.'
When I haJ done with one I
found another, and finished that ;
then I tok another. When night
came I had a large basketful of
berries, more than all tlie others
put together, and was not half so
tired as they were. I went home
happy. But when I entered I
found niy tkthen had been taken
ill. Helooked at my basketful
of ripe blackberries, and said,
Well done, Joseph. Was I not
right when I told you to always
stick to your bush V
lie died a few days after, and I
had to make my ! way in the world
js best I could. But my fnthcr'a
words sank deep into my mind,
and I never forgot the experience
of the blackberry party ; I "stuck
to my bush.' . When 1 had a fair
place, and Avas doing tolerably
well, I did not leave i t and spend
weeks and months seeking one
a little better. When other young
men said " Conic with ua, and
we will make a fortune in a few
weeks," I skook my hekd. and
"stock to my bush." Presently
my imployers offered to take me
into busn.ess with them. I staid
with the old house until the prin
cipals died, and then I had every
thing I wanttd. The habit of
sticking to-ray business led peo
ple to trust me, and gave me a
character. I owe all I have and
am to this piotto " Stick to your
bush.
Cora Stan ley.
Tlie Old Love Story Set with New
NamesThe Funeral of an
Actress.
She turned her face to the wall
and simply said, "I want to die;"
and as she spoke those words her
life came to an eud. Yesterday
she was -buried in OrpfinwonH
Cemetery. Her career from the
moment when, as Therese Ther-
and, she captivated young Paris,
until her death on Friday in this
city, under the name ot Cora
Stanley, is public property. On
one occasion alone did she nearly
betray her incognito. One of her
friends heard her sing " Je Paime !
Jc Taime ! O Bretagne !'" He said,
"Why, Therese, yon must be a
Breton." Her eyes filled with
tears, and she hasti ly left th 2
salon. When he sought her he
found that she was crying bitter
ly, and she said, "Dear friend,
never speak to me in that way
again ; you make me so sad."
8he was compelled to leave Pans,
and decided to make her home on
this continent. Before her de
parture she gave to hor friends
amPcornpanions in Paris a ;rand
bade them farewell.

at Havana, where she lived in
magnificent style.
In Havana a young and handsome-actor
named Gomez fell
deeply in love with her. She
loved him with as much ainccrity.
One night, after the performance
in the Tacon Theatre, where he
was playing, Gomez went with
Thereto to her residence, and
proposed to marry her. ' At first
she laughed at him, but seeing
that he meant .what he ud, she
reasoned with 'him, and said that
it she married- his prospects in
life would be ruined, and site
loved him too dearly to do Jhat.
The infatuated young, man went

brains. He left a note addressed
to Therese, saying that he found
life unendurable without her, and
that he would not forget her even
in death. vVhen the news of his
suicide was broken to her she was
seized with brain fever, and for
some weeks was at the door of
death. She recovered to find her
self almost a beggar.
During her illness her maid had
stolen all her jewelry, and fled to
the mountains with another ser
vant. She then sold her house in
Havana, came to this city, and
assumed the name of Cora Stan
ley. She dispensed chanty with
no niggard hand, and the poor
and starving never went away
hungry from her door. To the
charitable societies she gave large

cers of one be it said when she
needed aid at their hands she
found it not. At last her star be
gait to set. Consumption seized
upon her. The most emiuent
physicians in the city could not
avert her death, . For three, years
she lingered on. Two years ago
she found her wealth gone, and
was compelled to take a room iu
an obscure French hotel. She
died in deceu t . poverty. New

i'iu: and Coanc Uay,
; - Producers are sometimes p uz
zled to know why , city buyers
generally ask for coarse, well
matured hay in preference to the
more tender, and in reality more
nutritious kinds. The Live Stock
Joxirnal thus enlightens them : -"
City. men feed hay, ( for a diftei
ent purpose than the ' : far mer.
The farmer feeds it for its nutri
ment, and as a principal f food,
whi le the city man regards gi ain
as the cheapest food, and onlv
gives sufficient hay to make bulk
m the stomach, and for the pur
pose of health. Coarse, well-matured
timothy serves this purpose
better than the early cut and fine
grass. They do not desire such
hay as will tempt the horses to
eat too much of it Straw would
answer this purpose, if cut and
mixed with tne grain, about as
well. But farmers should be
contented with this practice . of
the city customer, for it enables
them to sell their poorest hay for
the best' jrice, and to retain the
best quality for home consump
tion." .
A Word to Farmers Girls.
It wag intimated iu a former ar
ticle addressed to the boys, that
the girls might expect something
especially for them.
It is geuerally expected that the
danghters of farmers will help
their mothers. If they do riot,
there are at least two reasons
which may be given one is that
the mothers prefer to do the work
themselves, and let the gills do
nothing, and the other, that the
latter are unwilling to go into
the kitchen or dai 1 y. "Now, there
is wrong in both if it is true, as
above stated. There is nothing
more conductive to health, than
the ordinary house-work upon a
farm. I say ordinary, because
anything that involves heavy lift
ing should never be required of a
woman. The art of making good
anorequires as much good sense
and application as the ability to
play the guitar or piano forte.
Again, after the house- work is
done for the day, much can be
done by the gills towards cultiva
ting flowers in the door-yard.
In a village or city, the lots are
often so small that no room is af
forded for flowers. On the farm
there is always room enough, and
no'excuse can be offered whv they
should not be cultivated. There
is not only the satisfaction of see-
iiur the beautiful mounds and
borders, but the care requisite in
training them has a tendency to
cultivate a corrrect taste in every
thing else. If the front-yard
looks nicely, the house will be
apt to present the same appear
ance. Flowers outside will stim
ulate a taste for pictures inside
the house. There is nothing
which produces so favorable an
impressiou on a passer by, as to
see flowers growing in front of a
farm house. There is no way iu
which a farm house can be made
to resemble a city residence better
than to devote a space to cultiva
tion of flowers and ornamental
shrubs, Again, there is no bet
ter, way tor the girls to render the
farm home attractive to their
brothers, than to secure their con
currence in the cultivation of a
flower garden. A taste for flow
ers, will tend to render the boys
more gentle, and fitter compan
ions for their sisters. They will
be less disposed to wander off up
on the hill with gun , in hand, if
the young ladies will seek to ren
der their home attractive.
Much might be added to the
foregoing remarks, but this arti-
cle is already too long for these
columns.
The subject may be resumed in
a future number, and these curso
ry, remarks will be closed by
quoting the saying of some writer
in addressing girls; "Love your
father aud help your mother."
Tlie Friendly Doff.
A Boston paper relates that in
Charlestown, recently, a large
dog gave chase to a poor , little
" black and tan' whose hind leg
had been injured, but tailing to
overtake him, turned about and
trotted back. In a short time
the small dog returned, followed
by a large Newfoundland, who.
upon reaching tlierner, seemed
to be looking for something,T when
the little dog' gave two or three
sharp barks; a riiuch as to say,
u Tha'ts the dog,'! at. the same
time lnuicaxing oy ,nis actions xne
large black, ' who was then, at
some distance ;' whereupon tne
little dog's1 -ally immediately at
tacked and severely punished the
aggressor; After this little' "affair
the small dog and his. friend went
down the street, apparently much
pleased. '"; " ;i - - fi
The big boy who bullies over
a little boy, and especially over a
lame boy, deserves the flogging
given to the cowardly big ' dog.

Getting Angry.
Getting angry never docs any
good; it always does harm. The
generous-hearted may compas
sionate and pity, but they" never
descend so low as to get mad.
Anger debases always, unless
there is strength - of character
enongh to conceal it; but the
misfortune is, the weakest-minded
are the most passionate.
If a man ever. feels himself ut
terly contemptible, it is when he
has been allowed to give expres
sion to his feelings, in the excite
ment of passion, in the presence
of ladies and gentlemen ; there is
a self-inflicted punishment, al
most greater than he can bear,
and gladlv would he hide himself
m an auger-hole,, if possible, or
slide away into the darkest cor
ner. If you want to " heap coals of
wlioisTn"a tearing aftoftf 3fta
is expressing it in words, just
simply say nothing, do nothing;
only look at him 111 silence, and
it will almost kill him, for he has
a consciousness of the ' fact that
every one who has heard him de
spises him. No one can ever feel
at home With a ehnrlhdi, crusty,
ill-natured person, for there is no
reliance to be placed on his
moods; he may be in the best
possible humor one instant, and
the next be literally " raving."
There is an instinctive aver
sion against having anything to
do with passionate people ; it is
unpleasant to have any business
engagements with them. We
patronize the cheerful, the good
hearted man the -man who is
willing to .accommodate, and is
ever ready to do a good turn. In
a business : point of view, the
touchy man is always at a disad
vantage ; passiouateness does not
invite custom, pays no debts,
makes creditors more exacting
and less' willing to wait It was
pithily said, three thousand years
ago, " Anger dwelleth in the bo
som, of foole." If yoa must be
angry, simply keep your mouth
shut; you will be thankful .orit
half au hour later, and will cer
tainly feel yourself to be that
much more of a man. HalCs

Wood Books.
An exchange gives this descrip
tion of a : curious library, and
therein Jies what almost any one
can carry out, partly at least :
In the museum at Cassol,
Germany, is a library made from
five hundred European tree. The
back of each volume is formed ot
the bark of a tree, the sides of the
perfect wood, the top of youn
wood, and the bottom of old.
When 'Opened, the back is found
to be a box, containing the flower,
seed, fruit, audieaves of the tree
either dried or imitated in wax.
At the . Melbourne Iuter-Coloiiial
Exhibition, of 1866, Colonel
Clamp exhibited specimens of Vic
torian Wood converted into small
boxes of book form,' according to
a design suggested bv that gen
tlemen at the Victorian .Exhibi
tion of 1851, in 1 fhera saggested
byBarorijFerd Alueller. I, othi ng
could be more . convenient and
more interesting than a library of
i sucli ; imittipus books, reprenV
in'g e different timber of .vari-
ous1 countries,' which should be
systematically, or alphabetically,
or geographically arranged. Aus
tralia alone could furnish of such
a collection more than a thousand
volumes. At the Paris Exhibi
tion of 1867 Russia showed a aim
ilar eollection of wooden books,
cleverly designed, showing the:
bark as the back binding, and let
tered with popular and scientific
names of the wood. Each book '
contained samples of the leaves'
and fruit of the tree, and a sec
tion and shaving, or veneer, of
the wood."
The Power of Clilldrcu.
A man was loaning, much
intoxi
cated, against a tree
some little
children coming from school saw him
there, and at once said to each other,
"WHat shall we do to him ?"
Presently, said one, "Oh ! IU tell
you, let's sing him a temperance
song." - -
And so they did ; collecting around
him, they sang
"Away the bowl, away the bowl,"
and so on in beautiful tunes.
The poor fellow enjoyed the sing
ing, and when they had finished that
song he said, "Sing again, little
girls, sing again.
"Ve will, they said, "if you will
sing the temperance pledge."
"No, no ; we are not at a temper
ance metting, there are- r.o pledges
here."
"I have a pledge," cried one : and
"I have a pencil," cried the other
holding up the pledge and the pencil,
they besought him to sing it
"No, no ; I won t sing it now
Sing for me," -
So they sang agan
"Th drthk that's in the drunk
ard's bowl
xj2, JJHA. T2X&Jfox.JO? , -
as he wiped the tears from his eyes.
"No, no more, they said, 4unlesa
you'll sing the pledge ; sing and we
will sing for you.
He pleaded for the singing, but
they were firm, and declared Ihey
would go away if he would not sing.
"But," said the poor fellow, striv
ing for an excuse, 'there's no table
here, how can I write without a
table?"
At this, a modest quiet, pretty lit
tle creature with her finger on her
lips, came and said, "Yes you can
spread the pledge on the crown of
your hat, and I will hold it for you."
Off came the hat, the child held it,
and the pledge was signed, and the
little ones burst out with-
"Oh water for me, bright water for
me, .
Give wine to the tremulous de
bauchee." I heard that man in "Worcester
Town Hall, with uplifted hands and"
quivering hps say, "I thank God for
the sympathy of those . children. I
shall thank God to all eternity that
He sent those little childred as mes
sengers of mercy to yae."fohn J?.

A ITIiiioral Explorer In :m Tgly
If science does not come to the
rescue of Mr. John Forsythe, mine,
ral explorer, f New York city, he is
in an ugly fix. On the 13th of No
vemer he and a friend, Mr. Fhineas
Barton; of Philadephia, visited Web
ster county, West Virginia, to ascend
Terror's Peak, a high, dreary looking
knob, to examine some curious me
teoric stones said to have fallen
there. Next morning Mr. Forsythe
reappeared, wildly incoherent and
raving, and called for assistance. A
party accompanied him, and he led
them to the peak, where Barton was
found with a wound in his bead,
stone deadA Mr. Forsythe said a
shower of -November meteors had
come on, one of which exploded like
a bomb shell and shattered Mr. Bar
tons akulL He sat up with the
corpse all night, and in the morning
descended for assistance. Mr. For
sythe's story is regarded as too thin,
and from his cell in Webster county
jail he calls on science to sustain his
defense. 8
