In a ball-dres- s, of singular taste andelegance, stood one whose silken-brow- n

There was herbeauty in the strange look of the softlustrous eyes.

You are ill, are you not ? Mrs. Eich-ing?' said Mr. Manson, my carriage is

Edith thanked him, with a smile, butpolitely declined the offer. Jio sooner

she done so, however, than she re-gretted her decision, and

returned with tenfold force. AVeary ofattempting to appear gay, she at lengthresolved to presume upon MKManson'sfriendship, and ask the favor which hebeforeso kindlyofl'ercd.

Ifot discovering Mr. Manson any-where, but supposing lie would soonmake his appearance, she proceeded to

EWING DENOUNCED BY AORGAN.

The Chicago Times, in an editorial, takes strong ground againstGen. Thomas Swing's financialproposition. It says that the trueDemocratic doctrine is briefly expressed in Vallandigham's Mont-gomery County platform of May 18;that it ' is the basis of all sound currency ; in favor of paying the pub-lic debt at the earliest practical mo-

ment consistent with moderate taxation. It also says that the assumption that if the proposed legeal tender paper money is made convertible at the pleasure ol the holdersinto three per cent. Governmentbonds, there can be no danger of excessive inflation, is contrary to allprobability. General iwing thinksthe issue.of more paper would

rates of interest charged bymoney lenders to such an extentthat investments in 3 percent bondswould be. the best that could bemade; that is, he thinks.the inflationwould srop itself. How" he canthink any such thing, knowing thatinflation expands general prices, is amystery we cannot penetrate. Hemust, know that expanding pricesalways stimulate speculation; always create a strong demand formoney for speculative purposes;and,- therefore, always force up ratesof interest By adopting .Mr. iuw-

ing'a plans and issuing enough newlegal tenders to pay off thempctus would begiven to specula

tion, which would speedily bring toend the ease which has long char

acterized the money market, ,andproduce a, stringency which woulddouble the present rates of interestin a month; that is provided theenormous issue proposed should notdestroy all confidence m the currcn- -

Kvery addition to the volumewould hightcn the export and stimulate demands. From the historyof the French assignats and cornedcrate currency we may learn thatthe experiment would end in a grandcxplosiond involving the country inruin. The Democracy arc too wenacquainted with the nature and lawsof the country to assist in consum-mating such crazy destructive mon-etary scheme as that which hasfound so warm and arltul an advocate in Gen. Thomas Ewing. Theyarc not such hopeless lunatics as tothink of gettin out of debt by crea-ting a pcrpctucl debt, or restoringspecie payment by issuing irredeemable paper in unlimited quantitiesand uanshing specie forever fromtho country."

Farm and Household.

Local Application to burns.Dr. ismKercl recommends as an

application to burns.when first seencarbolic acid and glycerine, in theproportion of from five to ten dropsof the former,lhoroughly incorporatewith two ounces of the latter,spreadon with a camel's hair or other lightbrush, then a layer of white cottonover which a roller bandage is neatly adjusted.

Take Care of the Straw.If a farmer happens to be without

straw for one winter, he fully realizes the value of it in his business.A good straw-stac- k makes a cheer-ful barn yard in the winter. Youwill rarely see poor stock wherethere is a large stack of brightstraw. It makes a dry and shelteredyard, soft, dry beds in the stall, andis worth a great deal to work in withbetter fodder. Bright straw andsome grain will take farm horsesthat have little work to do throughthe cold months in health and goodflesh. The same feed' will suffice forstore, sheep. The (straw-stac- k affords cattle a good luncheon, butmilch cows, fatting stock, and thosethat are young, require hay andother richer food. But the straw isof so, much value that it is worthwhile to make the stack in the bestmanner so as to keep the contentsbright and dry. The top should befinished with a little hue hav orgrass cut for the purpose. By rak-ing and trimming after the machinehas gone and topping out properlythe straw will come out in the winteras bright as when threshed.

The waste of Liquid Manure.Very few barns or barnyards are

so arranged as to save the liquidmanure. The loss resulting fromsuch want of proper arrangement isa very serious one, more than, mostfanners woultl imagine, in the hrstplace, the quantity of liquid matterwhich might be saved from a pairof horses and a half a dozen cowsamounts to 80.000 pounds yearly.This is equal to about 10,000 which,diluted with an equal quality ofwater, would furnish each yeardressing of 1,000 gallons per acreto twent3' acres of land, ferment-ing liquid manure needs this addition oi water ;or me purpose oi retaining the ammonia which wouldotherwise pass off and be lost. Thesolid matter contained in the abovequantity of liquid is equal to nearly three tons, and is worth as muchas the best guano. The moneyvalue would therefore be about $200

an amount that is well worth saving. Much less than tins amountwould make the drains and tank- required to save the manure, so thatthe outlay would be more than repaid the hrst year. Or, if properabsorbents were freely used, thewhole of the liquids .might be saved without any outlay at all.

New way to Cure Sick Clerks.Mr. A. R. Kanaga relates the fol

lowing story of Secretary Corwinits humor is characteristic. Tofriend of ours who saw him one da'at Lebanon, he gave a most ainusing and we doubt not truthful account of the condition of things inthe Treasury Department when heentered upon the duties of Secretary. Tho clerks, he says, weresick on an average about half thetime, but.it struck him as somewhatremarkable that as much as theywere sick, none of them died.

The fact was apparent at a glancethat they did very little work ibr thepublic and the inference was irresistthlc that something must bedone for them. Accordingly theSecretary turned physician, and began to presenile lor the invalids.He issued an order that all clerkswho were absent from their desk acertain number of days, 'say two, onaccount of sickness, should submitto a proportionate deduction fromtheir respective salaries: and thatall who were absent longer, say oneweek, should be required either todie or resign. The prescriptionwas a charm, and in a short timethere was not a sick clerk in thewhole department. A healthier setof men than they were, Mr. Corwindeclared could not be found anywhere. Mansfield Herald.

Stayat-H- ome Farmers.It often occurs to me that, as a

class, we farmers confine ourselvestoo. closely to our homes. I amaware that wc "must keep our farmsif we would have them keep us,"and that one may spend too muchtime away: but there is no doubtthat good would follow if fannerswould oftcner drop their tools, and,taking their families, go forth on atour of observation.

By close application at home, byconstant reflection on uieir own ai- -

fairs, men almost forget that theworld extends beyond their linefences, fail to beneht by the improvements of the times, and loseall sympathy with the great anaactive world weich surrounds themItdocssucha one good to forgethis own cares and labors for a time,to go forth and view the efforts andestimate the success of his fellowlaborers; to sec the energy, the motion, the mighty progressive spiritwhich prevade, and animate, thisever-movin- g and never-haltin- g age,

A sight of the plunging locomotive, the maiestic steamer, of thesystematic rush of commerce, theimprovements of manufactures andarchitecture, must inspire new zealand determination, must convincehim that there is no place for drones,but that he too has a part to performin the work of progress. His owndeficiencies will appear at once, tobe remedied, and he will exert him-self to bring greater perfection what-ever in his he concludes tobe good. And as he and Ins return,with a sense of relief, from the bustling world to their own loved home,they will have a stronger feeling ofgratitude lor what the v have to enjoy, and a new, courage to strive forbetter things, Kuowihg that wey arenot alone in their labors, but theyhave the sympathy of all the. goodand noble in their efforts to improvethemselves and that which God hasgiven to their care.

How to do up Shirt Bosoms.We have often heard ladies ex-

press a desire to know by what pro-cess the fine gloss observed on newHnenSjShirt bosoms, 4c.,is produced.In order to gratify them we subjointhe following recipe for makinggumerable starch:

Take two ounces of gum arabicpowder, put it into .a pitcher, andpour on it a pint oi" boiling water(according to the degree of strengthyou desire) and then having covered it, let it set all night, in themorning pour it carefully from thedregs into a clean bottle, cork it,and keep it for use. A tablespoon- -lul or gum water stirred in a pintof starch that has been made in theusual manner, will give to lawns(either white or printed) a look ofnewness when nothing else can restore thein after washing., It isalso good (much diluted) for thinwhite muslin and bobinet.

Hens in Place of Dogs.There is hardly a family that does

not throw away scraps to keep atleast half a dozen hens; and manythat keep a nuisance in the shape ofa dog, that does no good, but costsmore than a dozen good hens, complain that they cannot afford tokeep hens. One dog in a neighborhood is generally a greater troubleto the neighbors than a flock ofhens would be, for if hens are wellfed at home they will rarely goaway.

But whoever saw a dog that wasnot a pest, running across the newlymade garden, and sticking his noseinto everything. h.ifl off the cursand give the food to the hens, andyou will find it a pleasure as well asa profit in so doing. We wish therewas a tax of $100 on every dog keptin the country. Those that are orvalue as watch-dog- s could be re-

Plowing.Ik should be a rule that the traces

to the gears of the team should beas short as possible, without imped-ing the stop of the horses, for thenearer they are to the point of thedraught, the less force will be re-

quired to draw the plow. The tall-est horse should walk in the furrow, two Keep the double-tre- e aslevel as possible, and the team mustbo kept going as regular and smarta gait as the nature of the workwill admit; they are thus bettermanagcd.and the draft will be light-er than if walking slow, and, by dueattention to this particular, heavysoil will cling less to the plow, andthe operation will seem pleasant andfree. There is a 'certain tact inplowing, as well as many otherthings a sort of tact acquired by in-

stinct; jand a slight movement ofthe hands will kcep'the plow right,while a swerving, clumsy plowman,without perception, will be con-stantly letting the plow, .with everyunsteady movement ,of the horses,run out and into land, and makebad work. Journal of the Farm,

Soda Water.A subscriber asks if soda water

now so gencrafty popular every-where, is wholesome. We .answer,Yes, and No, according to circumstances: 1 es, if made as it oughtto be; No, if made as too often itis. For the information of ourreaders, we will explain:

Soda water contains no soda. 1 heeffervescence is aused by carbonicacid water, and that gas is generatedby means of the action of sulphur-ic acid on marble. The carbonicacid set loose by this chemical action is not unwholesome in thedrink: The sirups which are usedto flavor the drink, if made fromfruits, as it is claimed they are up

most dispensers, are wholesome, andvery pleasant to the taste, but whenmade, as too often and in a majorityof cases, they arc, from organic orother acids, they are not wholesome.Pure strawberry sirup, for instance,is delicious, but when made iromnitric. cther,2lvcerine,much alcohol,and the different forms of amyl, wedecline to commend it; other fruitsirups are make in much the sameway.

We wish that the nuouc wouiudemand a choice fruit sirup for theirdrinks. It would make marketfor fruits, and thus help the horticulturist; whereas now the chemistis the principal gainer. A glass or

soda water costs about onecent, and sells for five. For thisprofit, dispensers can afford to makea choice article.
