" Your mother is very kind, Joe ; but I should not have thought she would have lent that candlestick to anybody, especial- ly me.. I shouldn't really." : Joe tossed up his head, partly in con- tempt at Mark's simplicity, and partly in exultation at his own cunning. "Lent it! I guess she didn't lend it. She'd as soon lend the eyes out of her own head." Tou "Then how did you come by it? "J just went in the front way, and yeel. n The warmth and glow were gone from Mark's voice now. He placed thie candle- stick on the table, close to where Joe was standing, and put the potato-holder in his ket. "I am ready," he said, moving toward the door. "But you haven't got your candle- stick." ; "I don't want it. " Why don't you take it? It has cost me trod? > enough ; and ten to one if it does not cost me more yet."

'" 80 she is mad !" thought Joe, and he gave the ice another kick, that sent! it spinning to the fence. i "When. he reached the school-room,' he { found the writing exercises had com- d, and the teach standing before of chalk in his lara Sand was warming herself at the | ders, looking very animated and lovely after her brisk evening walk. > "You will take your seats as soon as ou can," the teacher said, impatiently, as oe came in, closing the door behind him with a slam. Clara moved toward the desks, and placed her copy-book upon the one she was to occupy. Then it occurred to 'her that she had brought no lamp, as the others had done. " Perhaps some one present can share their light with you," suggested the teacher. Now Clara, besides being a comparative r to most of the scholars present, was of a degree of mewtal and moral culture that often tends to keeping the r.ultitude aloof from the possessor. This was one reason, perhaps, that no one of her own sex made the desired overture of kindness to her. . Mark rose up in a leisurely way, fast- ened a tallow candle into one of the potato- holders he had the foréthought to make, and, with a bow and a suitable apology, placed the homely but very suitable ap- paratus where it was needed. Next, he produced a pair of old-style iron snuffers, with which he manipulated the wick, and then placed them beside the candle for future use, . There were suppressed sounds of merri- ment when these articles were' exhibited, but Joe's laugh was distinctly heard. Clara looked up into Mark's face, and smiled, with a pleasant light in hef eyes that haunted Mark all the evening. Everything went on smoothly for half an hour. gThen Clara found it necessary to try the old iron snuffers, and made a most ludicrous failufe in her attempt to clip the wick off the candle. Then there was another ill-bred titter around the room, which made the poor girl's fingers tremble, and her lips quiver. Mark went to her help, and rasped the snuffers as if he was used to dg as he was, " Mark Goodruff, you may take your copy-book and sit where you can keep the candle in order without so much confu- sion," said the teacher. This was the way Mark came to sit by She brought a lamp one or*two nights after the first stove, io her fur tippet over her shoul- | evening, but Joe pushed it over into her | lap in brushing by her desk, and was sus | pected of dging it intentionally. After this mishap Clara refused to use a lamp, and Mark always brought two can- dles, and so the snuffers were in regular use. Clara's cousin was a careless fellow, never regular at the writing school, and a good deal annoyed at being obliged to be *' Mark," said he, one night, * you are an obliging fellow ; why won you walk home with Cousin Clara, and~save my coming at all I" 'If you wish it, and Miss Sand does not object." After that, Mark was Clara's escort, and they scemed to get along very well Yooh. 'oward the close of the school, Clara's | father, who was a merchant in the city, | wrote for a clerk to be sent from the coun- | try, "" A young man of fixed principles," | the letter said, '" and strictly Honest." sticks had been off the mantlepiece, unless | | when engaging "That is what pope always insists upon his help," said Clara. " He says he can find plenty of well-dressed boys, and lads helonging to first families, and genteel fellows, quick at figures, but he is' Yauch troubled to find those he can trust." "Then let him hire Mark Goodruff," said the cousin. " There isn't a lazy or dishonest bone in him." The minister said the same, a little more elegantly worded perhaps, when Mark asked him for reference. Mark was standing on the tavern plat- form, waiting for the stage to come along that was to take him to the cars on his way to the city, when the writing teacher came to him with a volume of poems, which had been offered to the one who had made the greatest proficiency in pen- manship during the winter. "The prize has been awarded to you, Mark," said the teacher, "and you have deserved it, we think." .} "Thank you. Who ranked next best?" '" Joseph Bright." '" Are you willing I should transfer the reward of merit, sir 1" "0 yes. The decision has been made, however, and it therefore belongs to you, in justice." *' Then, sir, please give it to Joe. He tried hard to injure me once. I should like him to know that I forgive Fim." Joe, when the words were repeated to him, was evidently touched. *" Mark is a good fellow," said he, 'but I hate to have Clara Sand like him better Joe nodded and smiled in a mean way, | ES ---- PRACTICAL RECIPES. A new mode of washing linen has been | introduced and adopted in Germany. The | operation consists in dissclving two pounds | of soap in about three gallons of water, as | hot as the hand can bear, and adding to | | this*one tablespoonful of turpentine end | three of liquid ammonia; the mixture | must then be well stirred, and the linen steeped in it for two or three hours, taking | care to cover up the vessel which contains | them as nearly hermetically as possible. The clothes are afterwards washed out and rinsed in the ordinary way. The soap and water may be reheated and used a second { time, but in that case half a tablespoonful | of turpentine and a tablespoonful of am- | monia must be added. The process is said | to cause a great economy in time, labor, | and fuel. | When linen has been scorched, use the | following remedy : Add to a quart of vin- ! egar the juice of half a dozen large onions, | about an ounce of soap rasped down, a | | quarter of a pound of fuller's earth, an ounce of lime, and one ounce of peatl-ash. Boil the whole until it is pretty thick, 4nd spread some of it on the scorched part. Allow it to remain until dry, then scrape it off and wash. Two or three applica- tions will restore the linen, unless so much scorched that the fabric is destroyed. A cut lemon kept on the wash-stand and rubbed over the hands daily, after wash- ing, and not washed off for some minutes, is an excellent remedy for chapped hands. To tint the walls of a room buff, which | in many cases is a striking and pretty color, add yellow ochre to the whitewash until the color suits you. Lemon juice will allay the irritation caused by the bites of mosquitoes and flies. An oyster shell pat into a tea-kettle will prevent its being covered with scale. The juice of bean pods is a sure cure for warts. * VALUE OF SHEEP. The high price of wool this year, and the great demand for shéep or lambs for meat, has made many a farmer wish he had a flock of sheep. The price of wool for a few years back has been so low and fluctuating that it has led the fafiners to kill off their sheep, and just the same re- sults follow that have in years{before-; they find, when wool advances, they have no sheep on hand. We have advocated high prices for wool, advising thelj farmer, if he had any and could afford tolhold it, to hold it. Although there has beena | little depression in the market, we still | adhere to the view that the woollen mills during the coming season will be .large | buyers of domestic wools ; and Are notice the reports from foreign markets show great firmness abroady arising from the same causes that prevail in this country-- shortness of supply. Nor do we think, | with the growth of business in our coun- try, will the supply, for several years to | come, exceed the demand for a medium grade of wools, which are the staples | grown here. The question of raising sheep for their meat is not an unimportant one ; with the | growth of the country the consumption of eatahles increases, and the favorite meat now, and that which brings the highest price, is lamb, and with an increas- ing interest in it, as'the most wholesome and palatable of "all meats, it is already getting so scarce and high that it has to be purchased only as a luxury by' those who can afford it. We have spoken thus far of the demand of wool and mutton at a price that will pay largely for sheep raising. Their value to the farm is not, perhaps, frlly understood. It is an old proverb, " whenever the foot of the sheep touches the land it is turned into gold." Sheep will enrich land faster than any other animal. On the mountain pastures they are valuable in clearing up the land, freeing it from, weeds, shrubs, briars, and bringing it to and nutritious grass. They are easily raised and cared for both in summer and winter. The risk of loss by death is small, and, if well wanaged, sheep will not die in debt to the owner. If it dies the first year, the wool and pelt is worth all it las cost up to that time. Sheep husbandry has a value to make the land 'more profitable, more productive, at a less expenditure than any other animal kept on the farm.--New England Home- stead. 3 a ----.

They -- Once upon a time, or, tobe a li..!s more particular, nearly half a century ay» (for the editor of this paper well remembers the time, place and scene, which are firn- ly fixed upon his boyish recollections), there dwelt in the town of ----, in old England a remarkable oddity, in the, per- son of an attorney-at-law, who, although not fair to look upon--for he was in truth one of the I liest specin of h ity ever beheld by mortal man--was with- nevolence, varied learning, a poet,a paint- er, and a wit of no mean order. It so happened that the aforesaid gentle- man, G-- - G----, Esq., was appointed high sheriff of the town of ----. He was a man of fortune and had a kind heart, as many a poor prisoner could testify who partook of the good cheer with which the It was of course the duty of the high sheriff to summon a grand and petty jury, to attend at the quarte: sessions, of which the recorder, mayor and aldermen of the bor« neh com the court. In the per- forma' ~ official duty in snmmon- ng the petty jury, our high sheriff indulg- ed in some of the strangest and drollest freaks that have probably ever been heard of in any other town or country. In the first place he summoned for the October court a jury consisting of twelve of the and when "they came to the book to be sworn it appeured that only nine jurors could sit comfortably in the box! After a | great deal of sweating, squeezing, and scolding, the panel was literally jammed into the box, and when seated they pre- sented to the eye of the court, the barris- ters and the audience, " the tightest fit" of a jury that was ever seen in. the court room. Literally they became, much to the astonishment of the court and its robed advocates, " a packed jury," and no mis- take! For the January term our facetious high | sheriff (in consequence, it is said, of some hint from the recorder that there should be no more fat panels summoned to this court) went into the opposite extreme. -- He summoned twelve of the leanest and tallest men he could find in the borough; and when they took their seats in the box { the Gospel, vert} TEMPERANCE. We clip the following pertinent thoughts | on temperance from the E ptist Union : | "Still the fight goes on. Ths conflict is fearful: The rum army destroys--the temperance army saves. We have a des- perate enemy to resist. It has millions of capital invested, hundreds of thousands of men enlisted--greed and still baser pas- sions impel them onward. There are not less than three hundred thousand retail liquor sellers using every cunning artifice to secure customers. They are indefati- gable home missionaries of the ram power. They are priests in the church. of sin. They hold protracted meetings week after week, year after year, without cessation. They have hosts of recruiting agents, who compel men to come in; they push their work with ceaseless energy. Their power over their victims is wonderful. Once in their grasp, escape is the exception. Step by step they lead to certain ruin. And those who are most certain of ruin are al- ways the least alarmed. They fear no ovil, will not believe themselves in danger, and so go blindly to destruction. Every victim becomes a decoy to others. The youth especially seem ambitions to be en- snared. Hence converts are easily made. 'Do any expect to cure this evil speed- ily ? dt cannot be done. Tle war will be long and hard. ' The enemy has capital, greed, appetite, all the powers of depravi- ty on his side. He concentrates every element of sin in his support ; he embodies the aggrezate powers of Satan.

We must increase our opposition more and more; we should make it a leading pointy so that social, commercial and political action will tbe controlled by it; so thot our preaching. raying, singiug, talking and vdting will e full of it. The issue is radical, and re- quires encrgetic treatment. The victory of rum means return to barbarism; its de- feat means Christian civilization.
