6. Remove your hen daily and let her roll
in the dust-box near by; feed and water
regularly; see that she goes back before the
eggs chill, and cover her sitting box with
course bugging, if she seems half inclined to
give up her work.
7. On the ‘llst day, when the chickens are
coming out, leave her to herself until all are
released. Then wait Si hours for the little

nest out nicely.
S. Applvu little dry sulphur upon the

Give them food when 11 day old, and keep

this for a week; then cooked soft food and

out for the harsh wmdc. Give tyy shelter

11. At one to three months old, they
should have ample range over the lawns to
pasture. If you have no gross plots, let
your runs be of dry, gruvclly bottom, 11nd
give them cabbage le'uves, turnip tops, etc;
and cooked meat daily, with their dry groin

flow Mahogany was Introduced.
It is not 11 little remarkable thnt until the
present century the word “ tnnhoguuv.”
though now in common use, was nut, to be
found in any dictionary. But the reason (if
its absence is easily accounted for by the
frtct that up to the end of the last century
the word was not known in England. The
story is of its first introduction is but anoth-
1'r instance of art and chance meeting togetb'
or.
Dr. Gibbons, an etuimnt physician in the
neighborhood, then fashionable, of Convent
burden, had 21 brother, :1 West Indian sen
c.1ptuin,who bud brought over some planks
of mahogany as ballast in his ship. As 11
house was in the course of being built by
the doctor in King street, Convent Garden,
his brother happened to tukc it into his
head that the plunks, which bud done their
work for himself, might be ofsomc service
to the doctor: so he sent them to King street.
The Carpenters, however, found the grain
of the wood too hard for their tools and so
they threw the planks aside.
Nat ring after this, Mrs. Gibbms wanted
1 c mile-box, and was anxious, us she told
her husband, to get one the mice could not
nibble. A bright thought struck the doctor.
He would have one made out of those bits
of hard wood timber that was lying about
the back yard.
He called on his cabinet maker one Wool-
:1ston and explained what he wanted. Mr.
Woolestou tried, found his tools not equal
to the wood, and was inclined to give the
job up, declared it was too hard by far. The
doctor was I man not easily to be beaten
and accordingly said he must get better and
stronger tools. The tools were ordered and
got. '
Mr. Woolaston set himself to his task
with I hearty good will, and the work was
done. Mrs. Gibbono had the new candle:
oeilcut. It misled the efforts of the mice,
who had plchd terrible havoc with the con-
dlc—euds when defended by deal only. The
doctor caught the infection. Ind vowed that
he would himself the a human made out

A Precocious Youth.
A family of some pretensions, living on
Nelson str,eet bed a party of five to too.
Thursday evening. The table was set out
in fine style, us the company were from the
city, and it was absolutely necessary to show
them that folks may live in ft village like
Danbury, and yet understand the require.
ments of good society. When they were
all at the table, and the lady was preparing
to dish up the too, her little can, whose face
shone like the knee of 11 country clergy-
umu‘ 11 pants, pulled her secretly by the dues.
But she was too busy to notice. He pulled
her again, but receiving no response, he whia

She made no reply in words, but she gave
him I look that. was calculated to annihilate
him.
The tea was dished out, and the party
were buttcriug their biscuit, when the youth
suddenly whispered ngnin, looking at his
plate with 11 picnscd expression. “ Why,
run, my plain to different from the others."
“Thomas," she ejaculated under her
brentb.
“Why, is it mu," persisted Thomas.
“ Now just see here, this plate l1us—"
“ Thomas," again ejaculated his mother,

u frown nenrly an inch thick, “ if you don‘t

you 1115'111' from the tublc.”
This quieted Thomas at once. He was
not :1 very purticulnr boy, and he concluded
that the difference in the plates was not of
such moment as to admit of tedious argu-
ment at this time.
Several minutes passed without any fur-
ther interruption. The young man indus-
trizuisly attended to his food, but at the
some time kept 11 close eye on what was go-
ing on around him. He was lifting up his
cup for 11 sip, when his gl'tuee unfortunate-

Two Women Fight a Bear.
About 11 your ngo 11 man named Jonas
Butler went into the wild region around the
head waters of the Delaware River, about
twenty miles above Delhi, N. Y., for the
purpose of cutting railroad tics and pooling
bark, on contract for some parties in Greene
County. He erected a lug-cubic, where be
and his wifc,l1is daughter Jennie, 11ng six-
teen, and an infant child, made their home.
On Sunday, the 26th of December, Butler
was absent from home, and about 4 o‘clock
in the afternoon of that day Mrs. Butler
and her daughter heard an unsuul commo-
tion among the pigs in the pen, a log in—
closure a few rods away from the house.
Going to the door of the cabin Mrs. Butler
saw 11 large black bear in the pen, with a
pig weighing about sixty or seventy pounds
bugging tightly in one fore-paw and tring
to get. out of the enclosure with it. A
watch dog belonging to the family wu
barking furiously at the bear from the
outside, and the pig was wriggling Ind
squealing
Without 11 moment‘s delay Mrs. Butler
told her daughter to take the' .Ixe, and she
herself seized I heavy maul, used in driv-
«lfig wedges, and thus armed, the two wom—
en rushed out to attack the bear. With no
thought of consequences they both
jumped into the pen. followed by the dog.
They began the attack It once, dealing the
bear blows navy and fast with their onp-
can. The dog harassed brutu in the nor,
Ind it was not long before he dropped the
pig Ind turned his attention to his «all-
IntI. He first Ielzed the dog, and in I very
Ihort time but! crushed the life out of it.
The infuriated animal then ruched with
open mouth upon the girl. She rctmtod
slowly. using her In with vigor, but by I
ouddon blow of his pow the boar knocked
the Ix from her 11de Ind prmd be: into

lot and the bear waxed hottor and hotter.
She retreated backward around the pen,
and blood flowing from his wounds. Flu—
Illy the bear struck the maul and sent it fly-
ing out of the pen. Mrs. Butler crouched
downln o corner, and covering her face
with her hands, had maimed herself to
her fate, when her daughter arrived with
thognn. She passed tbebarrol through I
chmk in the logs and fired. The bear,which
stood over Mrs. Butler in the act of seizing
her, tattered an intent. on his hauucheo
and fell over dead. The bull, us was after-
wards discovered, bud paused clear through
his heart.
After firing the shot and seeing the re—
sult the girl fainted. Mrs. Butler could not
summon strength to get out of the place
for some time, but. finally succeeded in do-
iug so, and got her daughter into the house.
where she soon restored her to conlclous—
nous The girl's flesh was considerably torn
under her arms, where the bear had grasped
her, and she was severely scratched. Be.
yond that neither were hurt. Monday the
girl walked to where hero father was at
work and told him of the adventure. He
came in and dressed the bear. It weighed
over 300 pounds.

Nepoleon and the Stone Cutter.
Honest independence, if not too surly, is
u trait of human character that. ought. to be
too common to be singular. As it is, only
hero and there do we find 11 poor person
who knows that the great owe the humble
quite as much as the humble owe the great,
and is bold enough to say In. Diogenes
told Alexander to stand out of his sun shine
~tbut was all he wanted of him. The
poor Frenchman‘s reply was r.1ther more
courteous, but quite osdecided.
Napoleon, when in the height of his
power, being once at Amlens, whilst trav-
ersing the square, in the midst of the ac-
clamutiuus of the inhabitants who bud Is-
sembled around him, cast his eyes upon the
multitude and perceived, in one of the CO!"
nets of the square, 11 stone-cutter who bud

curiosity which animated the crowd by

Th0 indifference of this man excited the
curiosity of Napoleon. IIo wished to know
something about him, and, passing through
the crowd, urged on his horse, until he or-
rived close to him.

“ I am cutting stone."
" You have served under me," quickly
observed the Emperor, who recognized on

“It is true, sire."
"You were present at the campaign of
Egypt, you were lirlgadior in such 11 corps.”
" It is true, sire."

Exeontrlc Wills.
The head of 11 great industrial family,
which has been renowned for generations
for its ccccntrlcltlcs, remarked in his will:
“To my only son who never would follow
my advice, and has treated me rudely in
my executor 11nd rcslduary legntee, (1111 till
this day it was,) I glvo him £100,000." It is
on record that another gentleman once di-
rected his executors to purchase acopy of 11
picture representing 11 viper biting the bond
of tho mun who had saved it, and to give
that to n certain friend of his, in lieu of u
legacy of £3,000 which be bad loft him by a
former will, now revoked and burned. ”I
give and devise to my son, Daniel Church,"
said Mr. 8. Church, to ill! will, " only one
shilling, and that is to blre o porter to carry
away the next badge and frame ho steals."
Dying people have often had thus a grin at
their friendl‘ expense. A comic magnate
of Plymouth once decreed by his will that

Abbot and Mary, hismife, six-pence each to
buy for each of them a butter, for four the
Sheriff‘s should not be provided." A Mr.
Darley left to his wife a shilling, for pick-

in Band street, Boston, is said to have‘loft
the handsome legacy of £50 to Elizabeth
Parker, whom, through my foolish fond.
