Dr. 'VForster’s Patient.
"Well, doctor, how is tho-pads!“
this morning it" asked .John Carlton.
anxiety plainly depicted upon his hcn- '
cut face. — .
“No better, and yet no w0rse.”was
Henry Forstcr's answer.
" Do you think she will pull through 1’"
"God knows! I hope and pray so.
I'll be here at three o'clock. ”
, With this answer, Dr. Forster went
down the steps and stepped into his
waiting carriage.
As he drove off Mr. Carltcn gave a
long, low whistle, and said tohimself,
“Well, I never hoards doctor wish so
fervently for a patient's recovery." And
then he called in slow voice, “Mary.
Mary. come out here."
In answer a hushed voice came—
"Don’t speak so loud, Johu;I'll be
there in a moment."
Almost before the voice had died
away, Mary Carlton was beside her
husband. \
She was a fair woman ; not beautiful.
in the common aoeeptation of the term. '
but with a face such as one loves to look
upon ; one which expressed the nobility
of her character. Altogether, a goodly
woman.
“Well, John, what is it?
makes you look so thoughtful ?"
” Why, I've been thinking about Dr. _
Forster and our. sick guest," said he.
“Have you noticed anything peculia
in his manner 7" . '
“Now Jolm! Do you think women
are blind ? I'll tell you something.
The night the poor girl ,was brought
here from the terriable railroad collision,
and Dr. Forster was called in, Lwas the
only one with her, as you will remem-.
her. I was standing on one side of the
bed when the doctor came up, and I
saw him start, and his face growpalo
as death. He was himself inn moment,
and attending to her wounds, but}
made up my mind then'and there that
he know her, and that there had been
something between them. Thenpju'st
before she had the relapse, when'h'e was
bending over her to attend a. bandage,
Ilieard her murmur, ‘0 Henry !' '80 I
am sure there is something to be mended
between those two."
“ It's very curious," said Mr. Carlton,
and then he told his avife of the expres-
sion used by the doctor in leaving.
What
Dr. Forster, one of the. subjects1'of '-
this conversation, was in the meantime
driving slowly along to hislnextpatient.
and as he drove his mind-was busy. He
was not what one could call atgood-look-
ing man; rather the reverse pbut his
eyes were the redeeming feature. "They,
were deep grey, clear and , honest ;
looking. He was slightly inclined to '-
stoutness, and of medium height. His
face looked as though he had seen .
trouble. But, withal. this Dr. Forster
was not above two and thirty.
He made few intimate friends, but
still was very popular. John Carlton
was one of those few.
Some six years previousto his locating
in Jamesville, Dr. Forster had been a
struggling young physician in a crowded
Eastern city. It was up-hill work, and
he was just beginning to get .a paying
practice, when, at a friend's house, he
met Alice Maynard, a charming girl.
and the belle of P—. Withliim it was
a cue of love at first sight. He was
madly, desperately in love with her be-
fore he had seen her a half dozen times.
Alice was the only daughtegx and
heiress of Pemberton Maynard. a re-
tired iron merchant. His wealth was
estimated at millions, and he had been
heard to say that "no beggar should
marry his daughter." ,
Dr. Forster called often on Alice, and
had reason to hope his attentions were
acceptable. Finally he put his courage
to the test, and told her of his love, and
heard Alice say the sweetest words he
had ever heard spoken—that she had
returned it.
They lived a brief while in afool's
paradise, until finally it broke upon Dr.
Forster that he must ask Papa May?
nard's consent. Alice had-told him of
her fears that her father would never
consent, but Forster laughed at what he
called her silly terrors. ' .
He came of a good old family, though
there was not much money in it at
present, and things-were looking bright
for him. ' While he could not offer
Alice a home such as she hadbeen
accustomed to, yet he could make her
comfortable, and the fact that she loved
him, and was willing to put up with
what he had to cfi’er, gave him courage.
So one day, a day long remembered by
him, he called to see l’emberton May-
nard, to ask the hand of his only daugh-
ter in marriage. ,
The footman ushered himiiito the
merchant's library, where Mr. Maynard
was reading.
“Ah! good morning, Dr. 391"???"
, To what am I indebted for the pleasure
of this visit?" was Pemberton Maynard's
greeting. »
The doctor was taken ..back for, S
moment, but recovered himself and
said—-,
“Mr. Maynard, I come to you this
morning upon a very delicate mission,
but one in which my whole happiness is
involved, and Ilicpe to be successful.
The long and short of itis that I love
your daughter Alice, and she loves me.
and I have called to ask your consent
toour marriage." 1 _ »-
“'l‘he deuce you havel Well, young
man you impresi me with-your immense
offer. What in the mischief have you
got to support a wife upon ? Why—why.
you—you poor miserable upstart of a
medical college, No, No. a thousand
times do! Get out of my house-sud
never let your foot cross my threshold
4
' "But Mr. Maynari —”
' “James! James !" ringing shell-tand-
as James appears, “Show this man'i'ou't
at once, and as. you value your position,
never admit him into my house again."
“Mr. Maynard, your language 1.
entirely uncalled for," said Dr. Forster;
" you need have no fear ; Iwill never
place myself within the reach of a man
who does not understand even the
oommpnest laws of hospitality: Your
daughter loves me, and I‘ love her, and
I defy you to separate us. Good-morn-
lug!"
“One moment, young man.” said
Pembei-ton Maynard. “You defy me.
Well and good, but sooner than see my
daughter the wife of. cache beggaras
you. I would kill her now. 1 So you may
treasure that up. Alice has always been‘
an obedient girl, and she will now. One
week from today she will be married to
Malcolm Hill. a man after my own heart,
nudwhose fortune equals mine. And
now, my young Lochinvar, I bid you
farewell. " .
Dr. Forster left the house like a man
in a dream. He went to his lodgings.
and immediately wrote Alice, detailing
the interview and begging and pleading
with her to elope with him. He told
her that after what her father had said
he could not goto the house. He would
not ask her to meet him anywhere, but
would wait with all the patience he
possessed. ’ -
He posted this letter the same after-
noon. That night he slept but little.
The next morning he received his
answer by. mail. {For some time after, "-
reading the letter Alice Maynard had
written him he sates if turned to noun;
it ran thus~ :— ‘
"My Dear Dr. Forster z—Your favor
of this morning just received. I think
it is quite time now to inform you that
our nice little flirtation should end. I
have enjoyed it hu‘ghly, as I have no
doubt you have. I thank you for the
man leasant hours I have had.
“ orgot to tell you thatI am to be
married next Wednesday to Maléolm,
Hill. Au rewi'r.
“Amen Manama."
Dr. Forster presently rose from his
scat and gave himself a shake. “So
that ends it i" he said. His face had an
ashen hue.
He seemed in those few short minutes
to have decided upon what to do, and
commenced doing it quickly. He packed
what few things he possessed, paid what
few bills he owed, and having _settled
with his landlady to take care of his
things until he could send for them.)
left the city that evening on a southern
train. He went to Atlanta, and at that
point learned that the old physician at
Jamesville had died, and there was a
good opening. ~He at once went there.
From the first he became popular.
Some three weeks previous to the
- opening of our story there had been a
railroad accident near Carlton’s place,
and one of the wounded was brought to
his house. She .was a young woman of
about twonty-siX,..surpassingly ‘fair.
Her wounds were very serious, and to
make matters worse she had an attack
of fever. - . .
Dr, Forster recognited 'her at once as
Alice , Maynard, but now, as he thought,
Mrs. Molcolm Hill.
Aftcrdays. of. anxious nursing Alice
b08311 *0 mend, and cache grew better,
Dr. Forster's visits grew less frequent.
MrsCarlton one day, said quite sud-l
denly to her guest :
“By the way,'yon have not told me
;_-yonr,name yet."
Alice smiled languidly and-said :
“I supposed Dr. Forster-had told you
the " V ‘
"No,':'-_said Mm Carlton. “I have
always felt that Dr. Forster knew you,
but he has never mentioned your name. "
"Yes."-Isaid Alice, “we know each
.other,_and Iam surprised that hog‘has
beenso reticent. Lam ,callcd Alice
Just, at this moment Dr. Forster was
ushered intothc room, and after the
usual greeting, Mrs. Carlton said :
“Doctor, why did you not tell me
MissiMay'narirsname 7"
Aaurprised look was-on the young
man's face. as hesaid : .
‘3Mrs.1--,Carlton. I supposed this lady
was'Mra‘Malcolm Hill. «Am I not cor-
.rect l"! he,nskod,,_turningftc Alice.
"I don‘t understand. Dr. Forster,
how you could suppose such a thing. I
have never been married. and I am sure
I never gave you cause to think so. It
is a surprise to me.”
While Alice had been saying this Mrs.
Carlton had slipped out, for she thought
‘ there mightrbe something for them to
Dr. Forster was thankfulfor this con-
sideration. for he was anxious to hear
what Alice had to say.
“Miss Maynard, you surprise .me. I
have imagined for six years that you
were the wife of Malcolm Hill. When
I rweived your note telling me that you
were going to marry him I left P—-—, and
have never heard from there since."
" Why, I never wrote you a line in
my life i" said Alice, beginning to see
some light. "Tell me about 3, Dr.
Forster."
“You never wrote me a line in your
life? Did you not receive my letter .
telling you of my interview with your
father—how he treated me? And I
asked you to elope with me,"breath-
lessly replied Dr. Forster. '
"I never received in all my life a
scrap of writing from you, and have
always wondered whether you saw my
father, and what the rcsultwas. The
third day after-I saw you for the last
time, my father was found dead in his
bed." ' - d V
“Good heavens!" said Dr. Forster.
"What I have sufi'ercdthrough my own
follyl- Miss Maynard; I can tell you
now what I wrote." -And he related all
that hadpused between him and her
father, and told her that he had written
toher. and received an answer. That
letter of hers, which he had always
kept, he would produce. And on her
side she toldhim how much she had
snfi'ered during that time, and how she
had excused him in her heart, but had
never for one moment thought him
false.
After long talking over old matters
the doctor left Alice, to return the same
evening. When he didso'he brought
the letter and showed it toher. She,
at once pronounced it a forgery. It had
, evidently been written at the instigation
of Pembcrton Maynard. _
.After is little desaltcry.conversation.
' Dr. Forster said: .
7“Alice. I loved you with a young
man's love six years ago, and had it not
been for my. want of sense, we might
have been married and living happily.
waI love you with all the old-time
fervor, but with the maturer man’s
nature. Is it too late to, fulfil our
dreams of happiness ?"
“No, Henry, for I have always loved
on."
y It is scarcely needful to add that in
a few weeks there was a wedding at
John Carlton's house, and the worthy
host and hostess were delighted to see
that Dr. Forster's face had brightened
and that he looked younger. They
showered down blessings upon the
bride and nearly created a dearth in the
rice crop when the carriage with the
happy couple drove off.

THE RELIoroN on narrr.
The religion of ancient Egypt, as
Landed down-to us by the remains of its
literature, by its monuments, and by
‘lllO testimony of visitors from abroad,
while in many respects debas‘ed: and
antagonistic to the purer faithof the
Old Testament, yet retained more of
the features of tho.- pntriarchal times
1han has usually been Supposed. Its
complexity, and the difference between
,the esoteric doctrine of the learned
priestly‘. communities: and the exoteric
Sylllllold‘ll exhibited to the people, have
perplexed inquiries from the time of
Herodotus downward. They stilt fur-
nish the material of very contradictory
explanations; in the midst of which it‘
is necessary to proceed with some can-
lion. Yet tlierc’arc some lending feat-
ures which are sufficiently plain. One of
these is that the religion of Egypt was
increasing in complexity of forms and
doctrines throughout its history. and
that, in its later period at least, it aimed
at being a comprehensive theology,
uniting in itself all kinds of religious
ideas. Monothoismupgintheism, poly-
‘ tlicism, worshipiof’anceiators, of animals
commingled in ityin v ._
at least in the exoteric"fo‘rms sculptured
in the temples and tombs, and espec-
ially those of the later dynasties. Yet
beneath all this we find in such docu?
ments as the “ Hymn to Ba," published
in the “Records of the Past,” 9. sub-
stratum of monotheism.~ Another salient
point is the existence, behind all puerile
symbolism, of a definite moral aim tend-
ing to social well-doing and order in
this life, and having the sanction of a
future judgment and reward or punish-
ishment in the life to come; This last
doctrine was, however. in the more
corrupt times prostituted to the love of
money, and to the pretensions of an
interested priesthood, prepared to grant
nbsolution on certain terms even to the
grosscst sinners.
W—
WOMAN PHYSICIANS IN INDIA.
The proposal to establish a hospital
in Madras for the Hindoo and Moham~
medan women, whom religious feelings, ’
and caste prejudice prevent their avail-
ing themselves of the aid of qualified
medical men, is one that must commend
itself to the favorable consideration of
all persons. At present, Indian ladies
suffer illness and die without any medi-
cal advicc worthy of the name, if we ‘
except the skilled assistance afforded by
the small number‘af qualified women
practitioners, who are far. too few to
minister to the wants of a thousandth
part of the population. The native
woman practitioners, who have received
no medical training, are worse than
useless in all serious cases. In many
instances their interference causes un-
necessary sufi'ering, and death itself not.
infrequently results from their ignorant
and unskilled attempts to aid ther un-
- fortunate patienta..
The lio'spital which is about to be
established at Madras will do much to
remedy both these evils; for not only
will it receiyo-into its wards cases of
severe disease, but will be attended to
by skilled women practitioners who have '
passed the strictest medical examina4
tions in Europe, but it will also serve'as
the foundation of a medical school, in
which native women can receive a thor-
ough instruction in medical science and
practice. »
The field of action is‘ of the widest
scope. India alone could absorb'the
services of hundreds of. thousands of
medical women; so that those who
choose to forego'thc painful drudgery
of years of study in the dissecting room,
the laboratory and the hospital and
undergo the ordeal of examination at
the end of, the time, there is open an
opportunity-of distinction such as falls
to few women in private life. The task is
hard, but the reward may be regarded
as sure. The prospects of a qualified,
skilled, medical woman at the present
time are greatly in advance of those
young medical man without money to
purchase a practice or without interest '
to obtain a lucrative appointment.

“It FINGER NAILS.
While serving as a protection to the
extremities of the fingers, well preserved
nails add much to the beauty of the
hand. .
0n the centrary, nothing renders the
hand more unsightly than thick, irregu-
lar and soiled nails. But another con-
sideration makings proper care of them
of the highest importance, is the fact
that every person who labors with the
hands is liable to gather under the free
margin of the nails foreign matters,
which may be very poisonous to the
tissues of the body. Manycases have
occurred in which the slightest abras~
ions 'of the cuticle by means 'of the
finger nail have resulted in malignant
even' fatal infiammations.
Iffrom any cause the nail becomes
thick aml inelastic, it soon becomes
rough, and assumes the appearance of
an .excrescence rather than an ornament.
In this condition it is much more difll-
culttokeep clean. To avoid this the
band should not be subjected to the
action of strong alkalies, such as quick-
lime, eta, neither should foreign sub
stances be removed from the surface by
.,§§1‘flping- as from the peculiar manner
{of its growth this will cause the nail to
' thicken. I
To cleanse the surface and the margin
adjoining the skin, a soft nail brush,
mild soap and soft water should be
applied once a day, while the foreign
matter accumulated under the free mar-
‘gin should be rémovedas‘oftcn as the
hands are washed by passing the rounded
point of a small knife-blade once or.
twice bqpeath it. This being done while
the nail is wet one movement will gen-
erally be sufficient to remove thesub-
stance completely; but care must be
taken to detach no more of the nail, as
this may, if repeated, cause the detached
margin to recede until it is necessary to
allow a wide growth to protect the end"
of the finger. V
The paring should also be done while
”the nail is soft from washing, with an
instrument which will make a perfectly
smooth edge. and sufficiently often to
limit the breadth of the free margin
toabout one-twelfth of an inch. This
breadth is best, especially in case of
persons who have to do rough work
' with the hands, for two masons: it pro-
vents the breaking of the nail, and also
the accumulation of much foreign sub-
stance. The corners should not be
very closely cut, or the troublesome con-.
dition known as ingrowing nail' may be
produced. To prevent the breaking of
the cuticle near the root of the nail
(commonly called “ hangnail"), the skin
should be pressed — not scraped—loose
from the. nail’at least once a week.

LEDIONS AND THEIR
As a health-giving fruit the lemon is
greatly undervalued. Its frequent use,
especially in the warm season, is pre-
ventive of the malaria, that compara-
tively new and now fashionable disease.
The juice of two lemons taken in half a
glass of water before each meal is a
powerful remedy‘for rheumatism, and it
is also considered almost a specific for
intermittent fever. The juice of one
lemon taken three times a day in a cup
of clear, strong cofi'ec, will often cure
chills and fever, when the disease is
stubborn and unyielding to' all other
remedies. Lemon juice is cooling and
purifying to the blood and a valuable
regulator for many of the ailments
peculiar to spring. For its good medi-
cinal effects it should be taken without
sugar, but "always somewhat diluted, as
clear its powerful acid has injurious
efi'ect upon the coatings of the stomach
and the teeth. We know ofa physician
who used lemon juice in a case of small-
pox, the only liquid given, and no other
rem 'es. In thirty-six hours the dis-
ease was under complete control, and in
one week was entirely cured.
Hot lemonade, with fiaxseod simmered
in it for half an hour, then strained and
sweetened, is excellent for a cold, but,
as it produces perspiration, it should be
taken only upon retiring. The white of
an egg beaten to a stiff froth and
whipped up with the juice of a lemon,
relieves hoarseness and soreness of the
chest at once, taken by the teaspoonful
half hourly. '
The pulp of a lemon, bound on for
for three successive nights, is said to
cure corns, and a few pearl shirt buttons
dissolved in the juice of one lemon,
forms a thick, creamy ointment that will
almost surely cure them. So we find
the medicinal properties of the lemon
are many and varied; their value in
culinary art is also great. ,The rind,
thinly pared off. is an agreeable flavor-
ing for custards, creams and blanc
mange. It should be cooked in the
milk, and removed before the other
ingredients are added. The yellow rind

“THE WELCOME."
Four miners sat one night in June,
1858. in a tent at an Australian digging,
discussing their future plans and de-
pleting their ill-fortune. For weary
months they had worked the mine with- '
out getting more than a bare living.
At length they decided to leave the
spot. though not without regret. Three
of them were in the mine taking a last
look round, when one said to his mates,
‘.‘ Good-by, I'll give you a farewell blow, '
and with that his pick sent the splinters
of quartz in all quarters. His trained-
eyc spied a glitter on one ofthe bits
that landed at his feet. He picked it up.
examined it and found it to be gold.
He at once proceeded to work with a
will. His chums saw that something
. out of common had happened and they.
i too. plied their picks vigorously. With
silent resolve they worked on until they
unearthed a big nugget. Then a fierce,
glad yell of joy reached the ears of the
fourth man at tho windlass at the mine
“What's. amiss 1" he shouted
down. ‘7 Wind up." was the reply, and
when he did so, the lump of pure gold
met his gaze. They called it “The
welcome " one obtained $30,000 for it.
The claim where the nugget was got is
now covered with the fine streets of the
thriving town of Ballarat.

conscientious fillil competent leaders
who showed the way of old to victory.
These new guides will undertake to
conduct any man, woman or child up
anything. The old guides would not
work with a man upon a dangerous peak
unless tin-y knew that the applicant for
their services could go and climb, that
he would not become dizzy, that he
would not break - down or slip. Today
a stranger may be waylaid by unskilled
guideSLwho will try to induce him to
. attempt the moot ’difilcult'tliiugathc
things ‘of most renown. ‘They can sling
the stranger up bad places ; If they fail '
they fail, but then they try for the full
fare, and not infrequently they expose
their victimuto an nmouut of danger
which he is happily unable adequately
to estimate. The great guides and true
men of.a noble craft holdtlieso sham
guides in great Dllllul'I'OIwe and 90113.,
tempt. The really. good guide ii".
.really fine. worfliy. The best illiis'trai,
' tiOns of the giant mcc’of great and noble.
guides ’are the men themselves. who
are in themselves illustrations ofall that
agnide ideally should be. I would cit‘o’ '
as the tyre supreme men 'Melchior
Anderegg and Christian Almer. Both
are now getting a little old. Younger
men may be as good crugsmei'i, may go
aswell (though-not better) on ice, on
snow, 'on’rock, and may have as'much
enterprise and flash, but who can com-
parewith the two old heroes in judg-
msnwn exertions». in knevledse .of '
all the mountains, and of all these signs
of nature‘which ,they can read like a
map ? Again, neither of the twopgreat
guides, who are ideal types of' all theta '
high-class guide‘ Should ‘ b’e‘, ' would start
upon an?expe'dition when a mountain.
or, the snow on it, was in a dangerous
conditibn. Either of them would insist
upon turning back if any passage on
any'moun'tain should be foundto be
too perilous. Lhave worked a good
deal with Melchicn- Andcmgg, and have
known him to refuse positively to go on
when he 'held it to be unwise to do so.
In the case of both these men their
fortunes are secured and. their reputa-
tions cannot be increased. Rising or
low-class guides. are tempted by the
payment, and are desirous of winning
renown. Hence they will often start
when it is imprudent to do so. With
the greatest guides conscience and
character are equal to enterprise and
ability.» When we change old lamps for
new lamps we may findthat we have
lost the one which possessed a magic
power. _ ~

REAL AND rigid '
Of course negro Vminstrelsy is an illu-
sion. 'It representnlnotliing",on earth
except‘ the abnormuljldevc opment of
a mo'st extra'ordiiiary burl
hops the very breadth and statute (so to
speak) of this burlesque, overshadowing
and putting to shame all other modern
burlesques, gives it strength, and vital-
ity, for it is enjoyed with, as keen a
relish in the South. where the nagrois '
supposed to be known, as it. is in any
part of the North, whereall that is
known of the negro is that 'he was a
slave, and that he has what is called a
humorous turn. , . .
, In Georgia, for instance, we have long
ago ceased to ask chi-selves why the
stage negro appears in'vai'iegated clothes
with his cocktails dragging the floor, or
why it is that his pasteboard shirt col-
lars threatcn so‘ scrape the hard-oil
finish from the moon, or why his but-
tons are as large as saucepaus. _ We
have long ago ceased toroninniber that
the negro was and is anything buts
comic character; phat he made nopuns
and asked no conundrums. Under the
vital influence of the stage we have ceased
to remember his scrionsnch. a ' feat-
ureintensificd rather than‘lightenedby
his humor. When. therefore, the‘msm-
moth (or the mastodon, as the also may
be) aggregation of minstrels march in
and proceed to crack the old jokes we
haveseou in theialmnnaasnd perform
on all sorts of difilcult instruments, and
warble sentimental songs, we accept it
all as genuine—at any rate we enjoy it
as keenly as if it were an exaggerated
transcript from life. But it is all false
in fact. It is not even passable bur-
lesque ; for a burlesque, to be pmsable,
must lia_vc some grain of truth at bottom.

CIII‘C-ORY WITH COFFEE.
The chicory root, which was used
more with coffee when the latter brought
a higher price than it does now, but
which is still greatly used, somewhat
resembles a parsnip, The stem rises to
a height of two or three feet, the leaves
round the hue being toothed, not
unlike those of'tlic dandelion-findeed,
it is closely allied to that plant. The ’
preparation of chickory, as carried out
in Belgium. is very simple. The older
whiten-oats are selected, cleaned. sliced.
and kiln-dried, and are then ready for
the manufacturer. It is roasted in an
iron cylinder. called a drum, which
revolves over a.,Vcoke furnace. When
taken out it is of a dark'bnown color,
and while hot it is soft‘and pliable, :but .
after being raked out and subjected to a‘
draught of cold air, it becomes hard and
crisp, and is then ready for the mill. .
From ~‘the mill the powder is passed
through the cylinder sieve, froml’whioh
it emerges as fine as the finest flour. and
the partially ground pieces, or foreign.
matters that may have found their way
into the chicory. drop into a separate.
bin. The shades of color vary ocoadon-
ally to suit the taste of the purchaser.
The chicory root is cultivated, in Bel-
gium, Holland, France and Germany.

nature’s law. The most we can
do then is to aiiicliozatc this con-

To this end we offer to the pub-
lic, remedies which have done more
good—eaccom'plislied better results
in overthrowing disease than any
others which have been discovered
up to the present time, viz :—
DR. » FLOWER’S LIVER AND
STOMACII SANATIVE, AND

"l‘lio former is ‘an infallible
remedy for all affections of the
Liver and Stomach, and is besides
an invaluable general tonic. The
latter is a reliable cure for all
nervous diseases and conditions,
such as. Hysteria, Sleeplessncss,
Nervous Prosiraiion, Depression,
caused by overwork, etc.
These remedies are extensively
prescribed by physicians, (a recOm-

Young Clarence Chateaubriand Jonbs
loved pretty Miss Lulu Dc Smith, who
resided in Harlem with her father.
Clarence met Lulu's ’ brother-in-law,
Jake Snooks, and questiofiedhhim‘ about
her and the family. ~ - .. 5-9 :-
Snooks said: “ 01d Deacon De Smith
is a genius. He is now running a broad’ -
gauge. church. It is simple enough.
He keeps a drug store, and any man
who wants to become a member can pay
his dollar, sign his name 'in the book
which lies open on the counter and call
himself a broad-gauge member at once."
“ Is that so it" asked Clarence. -
“Ah, my boy, it is too true, but itis
glorious, isn’t it i" .
“Did you join it" queried Clarence.
. “Yes. It made it easy to marry‘
Lulu’s sister. The deacon thinks Iam
atrump."
Clarence dressed in his neatest suit. .7
and started up to Harlem, resolved to’
join the broad~gauge church, and there-
by get the deacon’s consent to marry
Lulu. ‘ The deacon was behind the
counter dealing out cheWinggVnm when
Clarence dropped in. Clarence looked
at the book.
“ Want to join broad-gauge, eh i" said
the deacon, eying hi—m cloMy.
“Yes.”
“Come down witha dollar and it
will be done. "
The dollar was paid, and Clarence was
invited into the rear of the drug store.
Two men seized him, and in a second
stripped him of his clothes. He was
then logged into the deacon's small
garden and chucked into a little hole,
and the .loose dirt shovelled over his
body, his face only being out. He
yelled to get out, but the attendants
told him he had to remain an hour.
Finally, the deacon came out.
“How do you like broad-gauge earth.
baths it" he asked.
“Earth_ baths!” he yelled. “ Who is
taking earth baths it"
" Why, you paid a dollar to take one.”
"Who said I did ?”
“I say so. You signed your name in
the book. I am glad you have been
converted to broad-gauge earth baths.
The minerals in the earth will do your
sysmm good. ”
“I joined your broad-gauge church,
deacon, not this infernal punishment."
“Your mind is affected. I have no
broad-gauge church. I call these earth
baths broad-gauge, because it takes a
man with broad and liberal ideaa‘to
consent/to take one."
“ Snooks told me it was a broad-gauge
chm-c "
“Snooks is drumming for the new
system, " said the deacon.
“Then I want to go Snooks with
'you ?"
He did. ‘ .
This is the origin of the term “going
snooks together.” ~'
um VEGETABLE GARDEN.
. As a rule, one cannot choose his posi-
tion or soil for his garden, but must
make the best of that near where the
dwelling happens to be. Still, it is
quite certain that the distance of a
quarter of a mile in many places, makes
quite a difference fijgfimmy desirable
points, such as earliness, ease of drain-
age, and fertility of the soil. On the
large estates of Europe, these things
are often taken into due consideration,
and the “kitchen garden,” the name
given to the plot set aside for the growth
. of vegetables, is sometimes quite remote
from the dwelling. The spot is fre-
quently surrounded by high brick walls,
on which are trained with the utmost
care, fruits that would not othemse' be
grown. These walls give shelter from
winds. The enclosure have frequently
from one to two acres of ground, and
they are so protected that two or three
weeks are gainedto earliness and the
success of many things that could not
be grown is re'ndered possible. ‘The
old-fashioned spade is exclusively used
in these gardens, the plow never touched
them:
With us, however, the case is difi‘er-
ent, and wherever possible, the plow
is employed, because so " much'cheaper
than manual labor. The land devoted
to the garden is therefore best in along
strip, more particularly where the
heavy crops, as cabbage, potatoes, beets,
etc, are grown. For the same reason
no “made walks" are admissable. But
where the space is small, as- in city lots,
or where a particular partis set aside
for the growth of the lesser or summer
crops proper, it may be easily enclosed
by a fence, hedge, or high buildings.
It will also easily suggest itself that the
main walks may be bordered with
flowering plants, backed by rows of
raspberries, currents, gooseques, or
even dwarf fruit trees, thus combining
pleasure and profit. .
As we have said before, the vegetables
to be stored away for winter usemay
i'orm part of the regular farmmops, and
this enclosed space used only for pres-
c-ni'. use or summer supply. An acre,
half an acre, or less, thus devoted, can
lu‘. made to grow a large quantity, and
from part of the home adornment of the
dwelling, with its walks leading from
illc pleasure ground proper. 'If the out-
buildings, as they should be on a farm,
are partially sheltered by trees, with
the vegetable garden of which we speak,
lying to the southeast of such an
enclosure, the protection. afforded from
the harsh winds of early spring, will
materially aid the growth of early veg—
etables. A capital material for such
protection, in the absence of anything
better, is a hedge of Norway spruce.
This stands clipping well, and can be
grown easily to the height of ten feet.

A4 annular SCHOOL STORY.
The teacher was explaining about
Solomon and his wisdom.
“ Now, dents, who was the great
queen who traveled so many miles and
miles to see this king ?"
Silence prevailed in the class.
‘ “ Why, you do know, all of you. The
queen who came to see the king ?" '
The name had been forgotten by the
class. In order to help them, the kind
and misguided teacher began to offer a
little assistance.
“Y9“ do know, I am sure. The name
begins with S, and she was a very great
queen. ” y - '
Just then up shot a little hand. and
out spoke the triumphant voice of the
little auburn-haired girl. She transfixed
the listening school-room with the
following brief statement :—
“ I know, it was the queen of spades."
