ANAHEIM VOL. 5. The Old, Old Home. When I long for saluted memories, Like angel-troops they come, If I fold my arms to ponder On the old, old home. The heart has many passages, Through which the feelings roam; But its middle alce is sacred To the thoughts of the old home. Where infancy was sheltered, Like rose-buds from the blast, Where girlhood's brief elysium In joyousness was passed, To that sweet spot forever, As to some hallowed dome, Life's pilgrim bends his vision; Tis his old, old home. A father sat—how proudly! By the hearthstone's rays, And told his children stories Of his early manhood days. And one soft eye was beaming, From child to child 'twould roam, Thus a mother counts her treasures In the old, old home. The birthday gifts and festivals, The blended vesper hymn, (Some dear one who was swelling it) Is with the seraphim); The fond good nights at bed-time— How quiet sleep would come, And fold us all together, In the old, old home! Like a wreath of scented flowers, Close intertwined each heart, But time and change in concert Have blown the wreath apart. But dear and saluted memories, As another party of explorers were leaving the basin, ascending the river, this grand old geyser; which stands sentinel at the head of the valley, gave them a magnificent parting display. "With little or no preliminary warning," writes Dr. Haydon, "it shot up a column of water about six feet in diameter to the high of 100 to 150 feet, and by a succession of impulses seemed to hold it up steadily for the space of fifteen minutes, the great mass of water falling directly back into the basin, and flowing over the edges and down the sides in large streams. When the action ceases, the water recedes beyond sight, and nothing is heard but the occasional escape of steam until another exhibition occurs. This is one of the most accommodating geysers in the basin, and during our stay played once an hour quite regularly." Just across the river, and close to the margin, stands a silicious cone, very symmetrical, slightly corrugated on its exterior surface, three feet in height and five in diameter at its base. Its orifice is oval, with scalloped edges, and two feet by three in diameter. Of this unpretending cone Mr. Langford writes: "Not one of our company supposed that it was a geyser; and among so many wonders it had almost escaped notice. While we were at breakfast upon the morning of our departure a column of water, entirely filling the crater, shot from it, which, by accurate triangular measurement, we found to be 219 feet in height. The stream did not deflect more than four or five degrees from a vertical line, and the eruption lasted eighteen minutes." A hundred yards further from the river, near the center of the large group of The Cheerful Next to sunlight or light of a cheerful face taking it, the bright brow, the sunny skin which dwells within its electrifying infiltration at this face lifts up arms of despair; our shadows, away from into the beautiful recess cheerful face in the everything bright Envy, hatred, malpendency, and a may lurk around the look within, but their abide there—the cheek them all to shame a It may be a very thing is something in it we press, and its cheese blood dancing thervery joy.

Shadow us, but somehow tween, and the shine Geysers of Wyoming. People who have not had the pleasure of viewing the grandeur of the Yellowstone river, or Sierra Nevada and Coast Range mountains, can have but a slight idea of the magnificence of American scenery. Among the wild mountain cuts, colossal rocks, are piled on rocks, and left with perpendicular sides and fronts—ever and anon cleft by that terrible hand which moulds the earth. To look up appals, for nought meets the gaze but the cold walls draped with festoons of wild vines and drooping tufts of verdure; to look down, the dashing milk-white river meets the eye, or perhaps the sea-like verdure which treacherously seeming nearer, relieves the mind from the sense of danger; but wherever you are, at the base of the yawning gulf, at the giddy peak, or upon the cragged side, where man or beast have found and formed a narrow treacherous path, the sublimity silences the beholder into the most profound meditation. Within the limit of our great National Park there are wonderments in the way of geysers, or boiling and spouting springs, with which those of Europe sink into insignificance when brought into comparison; indeed, so stupendous are they that if all the corresponding phenomena of the whole world could be brought into the same compass beside these they would sink into apparent nothingness. These geysers are said to be remains of remarkable volcanic manifestations, which began probably in the third formation or tertiary period. At the present time earthquakes are not uncommon there, and often very severe. These wonderful springs were first visited some four or five years ago, and are divided into two classes: those which are constantly boiling and spurting, and those whose action is intermittent. The water varies in temperature from 106 deg. to 198 deg. F. "Old Faithful," so named by Lieut. Doane, stands on a mound thirty feet above the level of the surrounding plain, and throws a column of boiling water at regular intervals, one hundred and twenty feet high, each discharge lasting some twenty minutes. "Near the crater, and as far as the ruptive waters reach," writes Lieutenant Doane, "the character of the deposit is very peculiar. Close around the opening are built up walls, eight feet in height, of spherical nodules from six inches to three feet in diameter. These story spheres, in turn, are covered with minute globules of stalagmite, increased with a thin glazing of silica. The rock at a distance, "Not one of our company supposed that it was a geyser; and among so many wonders it had almost escaped notice. While we were at breakfast upon the morning of our departure a column of water, entirely filling the crater, shot from it, which, by accurate triangular measurement, we found to be 219 feet in height. The stream did not deflect more than four or five degrees from a vertical line, and the eruption lasted eighteen minutes." A hundred yards further from the river, near the center of the large group of spouting and boiling geysers, is a large oval aperture with scalloped edges, the diameters of which were eighteen or twenty-five feet. "No water could be discovered," writes Mr. Langford, on his first approach to the spring, "but we could distinctly hear it gurgling and boiling at a great distance below. Suddenly it began to rise, boiling and spluttering, and sending out huge masses of steam, causing a general stampede of our company, driving us some distance from our point of observation. When within about forty feet of the surface it became stationary, and we returned to look down upon it. It was foaming and surging at a terrible rate, occasionally emitting small jets of hot water nearly to the mouth of the orifice. All at once it seemed seized with a fearful spasm, and rose with incredible rapidity, hardly affording us time to flee to a safe distance, when it burst from the orifice with terrific momentum, rising in a column full size of this immense aperture to the hight of sixty feet; and through and out of the apex of this vast aqueous mass, five or six lesser jets or round columns of water, varying in size from six to fifteen inches in diameter, were projected to the marvellous hight of two hundred and fifty feet. "These lesser jets, so much higher than the main column, and shooting through it, doubtless proceed from auxiliary pipes leading into the principal orifice near the bottom, where the explosive force is greater. "This grand eruption continued for twenty minutes, and was the most magnificent sight we ever witnessed. We were standing on the side of the geyser nearest the sun, the gleams of which filled the sparkling column of water and spray with myriads of rainbows, whose arches were constantly changing—dipping and fluttering hither and thither and disappearing only to be succeeded by others again and again, amid the aqueous column, while the minute globules into which the spent jets were diffused when falling sparkled like a shower of diamonds, and around every shadow which the denser clouds of vapor, interrupting the sun's rays, cast upon the column, could be seen a luminous circle radiant with all the colors of the prism, and resembling the halo of glory represented in paintings as encircling the head of Divinity. All that we had previously witnessed seemed tame in comparison with the perfect grandeur and beauty of this display. Two of these wonderful eruptions occurred during the twenty-two hours we remained in the valley—This geyser we named 'The Giantess.'" —In-Doore and Out. It may be a write dearer for that; We linger near it and say, "God We must keep it up can, for home brightness when then And after it is brance of it purifi ward nature!

"Near the crater, and as far as the ruptive waters reach," writes Lieutenant Doane, "the character of the deposit is very peculiar. Close around the opening are built up walls, eight feet in height, of spherical nodules from six inches to three feet in diameter. These story spheres in turn are covered with minute globules of stalagmite, incrusted with a thin glazing of silica. The rock, at a distance, appears the color of ashes of roses, but near at hand shows a metallic gray, with pink and yellow margins of the utmost delicacy. Being constantly wet, the colors are brilliant beyond description. Sloping gently from this rim of the crater in every direction the rocks are full of cavities being of irregular shape, constantly full of hot water, and precipitating delicate, cone-like heads of a bright saffron. These cavities are also fringed with rock around the edges, in meshes as delicate as the finest lace. Diminutive yellow columns rise from their depths, capped with small tablets of rock, and resembling flowers in the water. Some of them are filled with oval pebbles of a brilliant white color, and others with a yellow frost-work which builds up gradually in solid stalagmites. Receding still farther from the crater, the cavities become gradually larger and the water cooler, causing changes in the brilliant colorings, and also in the formations of the deposits. These become calcareous spur of white or alba color, and occasionally variegated. "The water of the geyser is colorless, tasteless, and without odor. The deposits are apparently as delicate as the down on the butterfly's wing, both in texture and coloring, yet are firm and solid beneath the trend. Those who have seen the stage representations of 'Aladdin's Cave,' and the 'House of the Dragon Fly,' as produced in a first-class theatre, can form an idea of the wonderful coloring, but not of the intricate front work of this fairy-dimension yet solid mound of rock growing up amid clouds of steam and showers of boiling water. One instinctively touches the hot ledge with his hands, and sounds with a stick the depths of the cavities in the slope in utter doubt in the evidence of his own eyes. The beauty of the scene takes away one's breath. It is overpowering, transcending the visions of the Minelan's Paradise." How can a moderately good-looking girl increase her attraction? By culture. She must cultivate her mind. An ignorant and illiterate woman, even if she attracts the attention, cannot retain the interest of an intelligent man. She must do this by reading, by study, by reflection, and by familiar conversation with the best and most highly educated persons with whom she comes in contact. But the heart must be cultivated as well as the head. "Of all things," exclaimed a most elegant and refined gentleman, after nearly a lifetime's familiarity with the best society—"of all things, give me a softness and gentleness in woman." A harsh voice, a coarse laugh—trifles like these have suddenly spoiled many a favorable first impression. The cultivation of the heart must be real and not feigned. A woman who studies to appear rather than to be, good and generous, soldom succeeds in deceiving the opposite sex in these respects. She who in truth seeks earnestly to promote the happiness of those around her, is very apt to soon obtain admirers among men. No woman ever otherwise so complicitly triumphs over a rival, as when she is mean in good manner to prefer that rival's interest to her own. Above all other regalia in a woman is conscientiousness. Without this touchstone of character, no matter what her charms and qualifications, she cannot expect to command the last regard of any man whose love is worth hating. Patience is always crowned with success. This rule is without exception: may not be happily satisfied; will patience never take anything in hand but what it succeeds with in some form. "AFTERTHING to lead Satan," was the legend suggested by a Danbury politician when asked to name something more appropriate as an inscription on whorer for a Young Men's Christian Association. IM GAY SUPPLEMENT. ANAHEIM, CAL., MARCH 27, 1875. The Cheerful Face. Next to sunlight of heaven is the sunlight of a cheerful face. There is no mistaking it, the bright eye, the unclouded brow, the sunny smile—all tell of that which dwells within. Who has not felt its electrifying influence? One glance at this face lifts us at once out of the arms of despair; out of the mists and shadows, away from tears and repining, into the beautiful realms of hope. One cheerful face in the household will keep everything bright and warm within. Envy, hatred, malice, selfishness, dependency, and a host of evil passions may lurk around the door, they may even look within, but they never enter and abide there—the cheerful face will put them all to shame and flight. It may be a very plain face, but there is something in it we feel, we cannot express, and its cheerful smile sends the blood dancing through our veins for very joy. We turn toward the sun, and its warm genial influence refreshes and strengthens our fainting spirits. Ah, there is the world of magic in the plain, cheerful face! It charms us with a spell of eternity, and we would not exchange it for all the soulless beauty that ever graced the fairest form on earth. It may be a very little one that we nest upon our bosom or sing to sleep in our arms with a low, sweet lulaby; but it is such a bright, cheerful face! The scintillations of joyous spirits are flashing from every feature. And what a power it has over the household, binding each heart together in tenderness and love and sympathy! Shadows may darken around us, but somehow this face ever shines between, and the shining is so bright that the shadows cannot remain, and silently THE FIRESIDE. Don't—Pray Don't. Don't tell the little one, who may be slightly wilful, that "the black man will come out of the dark cellar and carry it off if it does not mind." Don't create a needless fear to go with the child through all the stages of its existence. Don't tell the five-year-old Jimmy "the school ma'am will cut of his ears," "pull out his teeth," "tie him up," or any of the horrible stories that are commonly presented to the childish imagination. Think you the little one will believe anything you tell him after he becomes acquainted with the teacher who has not the least idea of putting those terrible threats into execution? Don't tell the children they must not drink tea because it will make them black, while you continue the use of it daily. Your example is more to them than precept; and while your face is as fair as a June morning they will scarcely credit the oft-told tale. Either give up drinking the pleasant beverage or give your children a better reason for its non-use. Don't tell them they must not eat sugar or sweetmeats because it will rot their teeth. Pure sugar does not cause the teeth to decay, and sugar with fruits is nutritious and healthy, notwithstanding the "old law" to the contrary. The case of city children is often cited; the cause of their pale faces and slight constitutions being charged to an over amount of sweetmeats with their diet, when the actual cause is want of pure air and proper exercise. Don't tell the sick one that the medicine is not bad to take, when you can The Isle of Man. There is a patch of land in the stormy Irish Sea called the Isle of Man, about which many traveled and untraveled Americans know so freely more than its name. On a sunny day the highlands of Ulster, in Ireland, and of Galloway, in Scotland, are visible from its western shore, and from the summit of Snakefell Mountain busy little England is seen freeting in the golden haze far across the sea. It is not much greater than Stian Island in area, and an ambitious Californian might look upon it as a fair-sized ranch. But small as it is—a mere speck on the map of Great Britain—it has a government of its own, with a House of Parliament, a people infused with noble blood, and a thrilling and eventful history. Hawthorne found it out while he was a consul at Liverpool, and has praised it in the delicious prose of his English Note-Books; Scott gathered material for Peneril of the Peak from its romantic scenery and legends; and Wordsworth commemorated a visit to it in a sonnet. But it is not in these few literary associations that its chief interest lies. The history of its varied fortunes and the ancestry of its superstitious people have a peculiar interest, dating as they do from the thrilling age when—the Norsemen were mighty in the West. In its greatest length the island measures about thirty-three miles, and in its greatest breadth about thirteen. Its circumference is about seventy-five miles, excluding the sinuosities of the bays; and it contains a superficial area of about one hundred and thirty thousand acres, or two hundred and three square miles. Enjoying the benefits of the Gulf Stream, the climate is singularly mild and genial. A Recreant Vermouter. Hezekiah Broughton, with many aliases, a confidence man and bigamist, closed a varied and noteworthy career of rascality in the Worcester Superior Court, lately, when he was sentenced to three years in the State prison for stealing the horses and carriage of Simone M. Streeter, of Sturbridge. Broughton, it will be remembered, was recently captured by Major Renne, of Pittsfield, for whom he was driving cart, after a helter-skelter night chase. He was born in Poultney, Vt., is now about fifty years of age, and has been a church member and professedly very pious at times. He married his first wife at Poultney, and went subsequently to Weston, Vt., where he remained for some time, but finally disappeared when sent by his neighbors with a big load of butter and cheese to Boston. He turned up next with his wife at Wankesha, Wis., in search of a farm, which he got, paying $1,500 down; he then borrowed $365, was entrusted to invest the $1,500 paid in a Milwaukee bank and went away just in time to avoid being exposed by some of his old Vermont acquaintances. Pacific City, Iowa, next knew him as Henry Brayton, and here he bought a house, joined the church, married a wife who soon died, and then took into himself a widow. He was, in time, appointed an express agent and messenger, in which capacity he was entrusted with $10,000, with which he "lit out" from wife number three and returned to number one, living now at Eagle, Wis. He told her that he had made a big sum in taking contracts on the Pacific Railroad, got $1,000 pair of horses, and came out as a swell. This did not last, however, for in about a month the detectives found him and took him to Iowa, where he was sentenced to three years in the State prison. He served his full term, being so well behaved that he was made an overseer. When let out he left his western wives and came to Worcester, where he got emuse. Don't tell them they must not eat sugar or sweetmeats because it will rot their teeth. Pure sugar does not cause the teeth to decay, and sugar with fruits is nutritious and healthy, notwithstanding the "old law" to the contrary. The case of city children is often cited; the cause of their pale faces and slight constitutions being charged to an over amount of sweetmeats with their diet, when the actual cause is want of pure air and proper exercise. Don't tell the sick one that the medicine is not bad to take, when you can hardly keep your own stomach from turning "inside out" at the smell of it. Better by far to tell him the simple truth, that it is disagreeable, necessary for his health, and you desire him to take it at once. Ten to one he will swallow it with half the trouble of coaxing and worry of words, and love you better for your firm, decided manner. Don't teach the children, by example, to tell white lies to each other and to their neighbors. Guard lips and bridle tongue if you desire to have the coming generation truthful. Truthfulness is one of the foundation stones of heaven. Remember the old, old book says, "no liar" shall enter within the gates of the beautiful city. There is no distinction between white lies and those of a darker hue. A falsehood is an untruth, whether the matter be great or small.—Rural New Yorker. SLEEPLESSNESS.—To take a hearty meal just before retiring is, of course, injurious, because it is very likely to destroy one's rest, and produce nightmare. However, a little food at this time, if one is hungry, is decidedly beneficial; it prevents the gnawing of an empty stomach, with its attendant restlessness and unpleasant dreams, to say nothing of probable headache, or of nervous and other derangements the next morning. One should no more lie down at night hungry than he should lie down after a full dinner, the consequence of either being disturbing and harmful. A cracker or two, a bit of bread and butter, or cake, a little fruit—something to relieve the sense of vacuity, and so restore the tone of the system—is all that is necessary. We have known persons, habitual sufferers from restlessness at night, to experience material benefit, even though they were not hungry, by a very light luncheon before bed time. In place of tossing about for two or three hours, as formerly, they would soon grow drowsy fall asleep, and not awake more than once or twice until sunrise. This mode of treating insomnia has recently been recommended by several distinguished physicians, and the prescription has generally been attended with happy results. Scribner. USE NO STOVE DAMPERS.—These nuisances are now quite common, and because they "save wood" and thereby save money they are popular. By shutting off the upward draft they throw back into the room all the poisonous gas generated by the combustion of fuel, and are therefore very destructive to health. It is a subject of common remark that an open fireplace is more healthy than a stove; and it is largely owing to the better circulation of air through the open upward children a better reason for its non-use.

A hummingbird built her nest on a limb that grew near the window, and we had an opportunity to watch her closely, as we could look right into the nest from the window. One day there was a shower coming up, and we thought we would see if she covered her young during the storm; but when the first drops fell she came and took in her bill one of two or three large leaves growing close to the nest, and laid this leaf over so it completely covered the nest; then flew away. On looking at the leaf we found a hole in it, and in the side of the nest was a small stick that the leaf was fastened to on hooked on. After the storm was over the old bird came back and unhooked the leaf and the nest was perfectly dry. A mammary train pulled into Ottumwa the other, alight with blood and suburn hair matted in ghastly clots on the pilot. The terror-striken citizens ran up and down the stairs with blanched faces and hearts, but the engineer only grumbled about the "minus," and said that if people didn't want their hogs run once they must teach them the signals so they will know what to do.

USE NO STOVE DAMPERS.—These nuisances are now quite common, and because they "save wood" and thereby save money they are popular. By shutting off the upward draft they throw back into the room all the poisonous gas generated by the combustion of fuel, and are therefore very destructive to health. It is a subject of common remark that an open fireplace is more healthy than a stove; and it is largely owing to the better circulation of air through the open upward draft. Now it is true that wood might be saved in a fireplace by covering up the top of the chimney, but we should not wish to live in the house. And that is exactly the principle on which wood is saved by means of dampers in stove-pipes. Fire may be easily checked by shutting off the supply of air in front, and this is the only safe method of checking it in the stove. If all the air could be shut off from the fire in front it would go out as quickly as if it were immersed in water. Thus it may be seen that fire may be well controlled if the stove is tolerably tight in front when closed up. All who do not wish to commit suicide or to undermine the health of the family will do well to discard stove-pipe dampers. SPRUCE UP.—If you get a moment to spare, spruce up; put the gate on its hinges; put a little paint on the picket fence you built last year; trim up the door yard; make it cozy and inviting. Do not say you can find no time to attend to these things; you have time. The fact is, you have no right to be slovenly. It can do you no good, but, on the contrary, it will mar your peace, wound your self-respect, and impair your credit. Then, by all means, spruce up a little at old times, and at even times, too, for that matter. It will pay—Science of Health. CURSE FOR A PELON.—Take a table-spoonful of fine salt, a tablespoonful of vinegar, a tablespoonful of black pepper, and the yolk of an egg, simmer together and bind on. Renew twice a day. A never failing remedy. German Toast—To one egg, beaten well, add one cup of sweet milk or cream, season with a little salt and pepper. Out in slices and fry in butter on a griddle. This is a nice dish for breakfast. MANNERS which the visitors bring with them. Many of the superstitions have been laughed away, and hospitality has acquired a fair money value. I do not mean to say that there are no more generous hearts and simple minds in Mona. An old fisherman's wife entertained me with flour bread, salt fish, and tea, in her hut at Creg-y-neesh, and indignantly thrust me out of the only door in the house when the meal was ended because I offered her a shilling. There are not a few honest folks, too, who yet have a steadfast faith in marmals and fairies. William H. Rideing, in Harper's Magazine for March. THE MILKMAN'S HORSE.—This is not the one borrowed by the dishonest doctor, which carried him, and another physician who wanted to buy his "practice," all about the town, stopping of his own accord at every house, and so giving the new physician to understand that the business of his predecessor was worth four times its real value. That animal was a fair specimen, though, of milkman's horses. Habit is a notable teacher to all brutes, but some learn much more quickly than others. It is rare to find one whose habit can be depended upon, like human intelligence, though such cases are claimed. Mr. Pullen, a milkman, living near Angnata, Me., has a horse that he has driven over the city milk route for about two years, and the Maine Farmer gives the following account of this horse: Knowing this horse to be an unusually intelligent one, Mr. Pullen, one morning after starting on his route, let the reins remain in the hook in the top of his wagon to see what the horse would do. He had his own way in coming into the city, stopped regularly at eighty-four customers without a mistake, then went to the post-office, thence to the store of E.Haskell, Eaq.,—where Mr. Pullen is in the habit of stopping, and then took up his route home, where he arrived safe, Mr. Pullen not once having touched the reine from the time he left home. Is not this pretty well for a horse! And could any ordinary milkman do better? Mr. Pullen says that any variation of the nose, such as new customers or a change of residence, is easily learned by a home in four days, after which he never makes a mistake.

End of the Gulf Stream, early mild and genial, Forms of Salutation in Portugal There is something more than a new language to be learned by some of our countrymen before they travel in Portugal. The nations of the country retain the ceremonious which was more or less universal in Europe a hundred years ago. The ceremoniousness of the latter breed. Itiana is as nothing to that of the Portuguese. The punctilliousness and formality of their social converse exceeds that even of the Castiliana. In Spain a man may safely use the title usted (your Worship) in addressing every class and rank short of royalty itself. Not so in Portugal. He shows his ignorance and makes himself simply ridiculous if he fails to distinguish at least six different classes, with their different forms of address. A little beggar boy or girl he will speak to impatiently or charitably, as the case may be, but always in the second person singular, "Vati emborra," Go thy way; or, "Pega minto," Take this. If the same boy or girl has grown to years of discretion, more ceremony must be employed in the refusing or the bestowing of alms, "Noo pula aur," It cannot be. "Vac com duna," Fray go off (in the third person be it observed). A working man takes rank with our magistrates at home, and is literally his worship. Voumense is itself a contraction of Vossamerca, and when the dignity or age of the interlocutor hardly entitles him to such honor, the word is contracted Vossa. Little street boys are to each other in their play together their Lordships or their Worships: "Your Lordship is cheating," "Your Worship has stolen my kite," and so on. A tradesman is "The Lord," O Senhor, or "Your Lordship," Vossa Senheria, and these titles are applicable a good way up and down. Remarkable Incident. Some years ago I was present at a duel that was fought between a young man of the name of MacLoughlin and another Irishman. MacLoughlin was desperately wounded; his second run up for him had caught to cross him with the difficulty that his antagonist had taken. He only replied, "I am sorry for it if he is suffering as much as I do now." I was struck by the good feeling evinced in the reply, and took an interest in the future of the young man. He recovered, and after years after my interest was again powerfully excited by hearing that he had been arrested on suspicion of having murdered his father-in-law, his mother's second husband. He was tried and found guilty on the evidence of a soldier, who happened to be passing in the middle of the night near the house where the murder was committed. Attracted by a light which gleamed through the lower part of the window, he approached it, and through an opening between the shutter and the frame was able to look into the room. There he saw a man in the act of lifting a dead body from the floor, while his clothes and hands were stained all over with blood. He hastened to give information of what he had seen. MacLoughlin and his mother were apprehended, and the former, having been identified by the soldier, was found guilty. There was no evidence against the woman, and she was consequently acquitted. MacLoughlin conducted himself throughout the trial with determined calmness, and never could be induced to ask knowledge his guilt. The morning of his execution he had an interview with his mother; none know what passed between them, but when they parted he was heard to say, "Mother, may God forgive you!"

These nearly every part of the primitive character of the changing under the town the visitors bring with the superstitions have way, and hospitality has money value.

The following calculations show the immense value of tiny insects and insignificant-looking worms: Great Britain pays annually one million dollars for dried bodies of the insect known as the cochineal; while another, peculiar to India—gum chelfal, or rather its production—is scarce less valuable. A working man takes rank with our imagistrates at home, and is literally his worship. Vossamassa is itself a contraction of Vossamera, and when the dignity or age of the interlocutor hardly entitus him to such honor, the word is contracted Vossae. Little street boys are to each other in their play together their Lordships or their Worships: "Your Lordship is cheating," "Your Worship has stolen my kite," and so on. A tradesman is "The Lord," O Senhor, or "Your Lordship," Vossaa Senhortia, and these titles are applicable a good way up and down in the social scale. "Your Excellency," Vossaa Excellencia, is reserved for persons of noble rank or high official position, and every lady below the rank of the Queen may also safely and honorably be addressed as Your Excellency. All these various titles, of course, require the use of the third person singular, as in Italian. The second person of the plural, formerly used by the Portuguese, has now for several generations been almost confined in "polite" Portuguese at least, to prayers and addresses to the Deity. The forms used in letter-writing are endless. How to begin and how to end, what margin to leave, where to sign one's name, when to write one's name as a Casa de Vossa Excellencia, Your Excellency's own house, and when to avoid this inexpensive kind of generosity; when to end with the formal Deus garde a Vossa Excellencia, May God preserve your Excellency, and when to assure your correspondent, as is the common form, that you venerate him, and are the most devoted of his servants—all this is a necessary part of the education of a traveler who desires to pass for a well-bred and courteous person. There is a formula for almost everything, and in circles of not the very highest class this sort of social culture is, as might be supposed, most excessive. In the remoter parts of Portugal a curious form of salutation prevails, and provals almost universally; a man meeting his acquaintance, or even a perfect stranger, says: "Lauseado seja Nosso Senhor Jesus Christ." praised be Jesus Christ our Lord; and the answer always is, "E para sempre seja lauada," And praised forever and ever. It is customary in some parts of Portugal to say "Vica!" May you live; when a man sneezes, equivalent to the "God bless you," which provals among certain homely folk with us under similar circumstances. But in good society this custom is no longer fashionable, though one's Portuguese friend, if one happens to sneeze in his presence, will sometimes say the word under his breath, and with a slight deprecatory smile, as if to convey—"I know, my dear Sir, that it is not quite the thing to say oiseal but my interest in you is so strong that I infringe le bienseances, to show how much I wish you well!"—The New Quarterly Magazine.

It was several years afterwards that I would immediately hasten，下to the assistance of a Roman Catholic priest who was lying dangerously ill at her house，and the symptoms，of whose malady she described. Her description left me doubtful whether the mind or body of the patient was affected。Being unable to leave Dublin，I wrote to say that if the disease was bodily，the case was hopeless；but if mental，I should recommend certain leniences，for which I added a prescription.The priest died，and shortly after his death,the lady conided to me an extraordinary and dreadful story.Here had been her confessor and intimate friend，和in a moment of agony and doubt，produced by horrible recollections，他 had revealed to her a secret which had been imparted到 him in confession。他 had received the dying confession of MacLoughlin，who，as it turned out，was not the murderer of his father-in-law，但 did die to save life and honor of his mother，由 whom the crime had really been committed。她 was a woman of violent passions；she had quarreled with her husband in the middle of the night，and after throwing him from the bed，有 dispatched him by repeated blows。当 she found he was dead she was seized with terror，and hastening to the apartment of her son，叫 him witnessingthe shocking spectacle和to save her fromthe consequencesof her crime。它 was at this moment，当 he was liftingthe body和 preparingto removethe bleody evidenceofhismother'sguilt，那the soldier passedbyand sawhiminthe performanceofhisdreadfultask.Tothe priest alonehe acknowledgedthe truth，但his last wordsto his mother were now explained.——Groveille's Memoirs.

The following calculations show the immense value of tiny insects and insignificant-looking worms: Great Britain pays annually one million dollars for dried bodies of the insect known as the cochineal; while another, peculiar to India—gum chelial, or rather its production—is scarcely less valuable. More than fifteen hundred thousand human beings derive their sole support from the culture and manufacture of the fibres spun by the silk worm, of which the annual circulating medium is about two hundred millions of dollars. In England alone, to say nothing of the other parts of Europe, five hundred thousand dollars are spent every year in the purchase of foreign honey, while the value of that which is native is not mentioned; and this does not include the ten thousand pounds of wax imported annually. Besides, there are the nut galls used in making ink; the cantharides, or Spanish fly, used in medicine. In fact nearly every insect known contributes, in some way, to swell commercial profits. Even the dreaded Colorado potato bug may become useful, as will be seen from the following note which we clip from an exchange: "An order just received from a chemical manufacturing firm of Indianapolis for one thousand pounds of potato bugs may be classed as one of the curiosities of commerce. It has been discovered that these insects possess qualities which make a good substitute for the Spanish fly, and there is a prospect that, from being regarded as an unmitigated pest, they may become a source of actual profit.

Lester-Bollen left, is said, a manuscript work on "Africanism," containing his theoretical creed, which will soon be published." I am confident that we give our horses too much grain and too little hay—especially horses under seven years of age, who will work with more endurance and average on a good supply of grain—of the latter say six quarts of oats and a pint of corn daily. Older horses require and will bear more grain—but even they want more hay than is usually given. Every horse should pass a few weeks each year without grain, either the first half or the last half of the winter, whichever is the most convenient. And this mode of feeding can be adopted without suspending the animal's work. PROFITS OF A MILK FARM—At the meeting of the Connecticut State Board of Agriculture, Dr. Loring invited Dr. Wakefield to read a statement of the farming operations carried on at one of the State institutions at Monsoon. He is breeding a herd of Ayrshire farmland. The average of the herd, the past year, has been 2,200 quartes of milk per cow. The doctor showed his balance sheet from which we learn that farming at this institution is made to pay. The amount of forage grown on the farm, the past year equals 519 tons, including hay, straw, and other forage. The milk produced foots up to ninety and a half tons and the bottom line shows a profit factor of the farm of over $2,000. A horse, thirty-five years of age, has properly been retired from active service in Lebanon county, Pennsylvania. He is a veteran of the rebellion, in which he was under fire in nine battles, and was twice wounded. His last hurt was from a bullet in the leg, and is caused by a hurricane from which he never quits recovery. After his war he settled down in drift life as a family carriage horse, and was much respected for trustworthiness and reliability. He now enjoys a pension of four quartes of oats and as much out feed as he wants every day. The helmet-starred horse can now be seen revolting in a detectable dolce fur nients, as happy as a king.
