X1L. THE CREMONESE Vioutf. It was on a magnificent August even­ ing, in the year 1843, if I remember rightly, when, returning from a tour to the Tannus, I found myself on the Castle Hill of Homburg, under the Heights. , The sun was just sinking behind the S3 hills of the "Old King," when, turning my eyes from its fading glories ' ̂ ,to the Wetterau, my ears were struck by v„" a sound of silver tones. if was lying in the grass, behind a .̂ jasmine bush, and was, therefore, con- ' cealed from the view of two interesting young girls, of about 14 and 11 years, elegantly and tastefully attired, who sat themselves down just below me. "Is this not entrancing, Maria?" spoke the oldest, a tall, black-eyed beau­ ty, to her younger sister, a slender, pal? . child, who reminded me of Murillo's an­ gel luces. "Oh ! how I would like to remain here in Homburg ! Neither in England, France, nor Spain did we find it so beautiful." "You are right,Theresa," answered tho little angel; "it is beautiful, and, dur­ ing the last eight days, I have felt so much better. The pure air on tho Rhine hills and the magnificent scenery have done me good ; but I am homesick--I long for otir beloved Savigliana." A. storm of tears followed these words, spoken in a sobbing and painfully-agi­ tated manner. "There, you are crying again, Mari­ etta !" exclaimed the older sister, half reprovingly, and pressing her ta her side. "In six or eight weeks you will lie at home. For two long years we have endured the separation, have longed for home, and never believed that we could live tc see it again, and now, almost on the eve of departure, you lament." "I am very much afraid, Theresa dear; I believe homesickness will con­ sume me." sobbed the little one. "You are a dear child, Marietta," answered the older sister. "You will, . for my sake, conceal your sorrow. See! would it not grieve me deeply if the Public--" "Um Gotten willen, be quiet, The­ resa !" exclaimed the little one, with all the signs of fear, and suddenly ceasing her sobbing. " No; I will subdue my feelings; the Public shall never have cause to complain." For a time the sisters were silent. The sun had sunk behind the hills, and a rising fog was slowly darkening the j landscape. "Come, Marietta," said the oldest, " the evening air will hurt you." Silently the two went, arm in arm, down the Castle Hill, not perceiving that some one was .following them, who had been listening to their conversation, and .who, touched to the heart, was anxious !f'£o discover how that spectre, the Pablic, | influenced their lives. We soon reached the streets of the city. The first conjectures, that the two girls were perhaps attached to the cir­ cus at that time performing in Frank­ furt, or were members of the ballet of the Court Opera of Wiesbaden, appeared «lfou8tful. Their artless and elegant • «ostume bore witness against it. If tho little one had not mentioned Savigliona, but, perhaps, Birmingham or Konbaix as their home, and if that word, the public, had not fallen from their lips in 8ilch a peculiar " pregnant-witli-fate " manner, I would have found nothing re­ markable about them. But Italians of distinction are a rarity on the Rhine. I had a conundrum before me. " Look, Theresa!" said the littleangel, "there in the window hangs a harp." I had approached the sisters when we reached the city so near that no word was lost to me. "There is, indeed," answered the older ; " bnt see ! there are also violins ! Let us go nearer " It was a small shop that I knew well, in whose two dirty show-windows cotton goods, stationery, toys and musical in­ struments were displayed in artistic dis­ order. Ephraim and Isidor Hirsch was the firm. Ephraim, the older brother, had inherited from his paternal sire the tal­ ent to buy and sell, and cultivated the Ee in a moderate way. Isidor, on the >r hand, became a disciple of art, and in the course of years advanced to the position of a member of the orches­ tra in the Frankfurt Theater. He was a musician--second violin-- always an unappreciated genius, and had remained assistant to the first violin desk until one evening his pa­ tience gave out. On the following morning he bade adieu to »Jie leader cr the orchestra and his artistic careor. "What for shall I let ruvself be abused?" said Isidor Hirsch to nis com- jpanions; " can I not have it easier and fetter? I will go to Ephraim." And lie went. His brother received him with open arms, and delivered to him the " Portfolio of Interior," the "Books," while he himself attended to the outside, tJie "Business." " Ephrairo, this I will tell you," began Isidor. on the first dav of his entrance into the business; "1 cannot be entire­ ly untrue to art. From to-day the busi­ ness must carry musical instruments." ,• "What shall I say to that?" answered Ephraim, in the first ecstasy of brother- lv feelinjjs- " For your sak£rl will make the acquisition, but I shall have nothing further to do with it. I have no knowl­ edge of the article." ^ As I passed the two sisters, theyomig- er said, enthusiastically : "It is surely , a Cremonese, Theresa. Just look at the - Jaigh covcr. Let us enter." ]. ;7 I slipped into the shop ; gave the ad- dancing Ephraim a confidential wink, i stood aside to make room for the sisters. "What will it please you?" asked Ephraim, with business zeal, and reach­ ing for the box containing buttons and "pins. Tourists always need buttons tend pins. " We would like to look at the violin that hangs there in the window," an­ swered the oldest, "and, perhaps, buy it." . ." You shall have one little brother, i"fr'Ho shall on the violin learn to play?" - aiiid Ephraim. as he passed the button- box back to its place. " Then can you kave one very cheap, for $5." ; "No, No," said Marietta, eagerly, I' we want to see that particular one that Jiangs there in the corner." r "You will find that too dear, little lady," answered Ephraim, in a fatherly *ay. " Do you know that that is a treasure? What do I say--a treasure? A crime it is, by Isidor, that he paid so much for an old violin. The others are much better. Shall I show you one ? Five dollars apiece, all new and painted a pretty red color ! They are very pretty. " Come, Marietta!" said Theresa, im­ patiently, " let us go--^" " Oott, du gerechter! stay! stay!" exclaimed Ephraim, perplexed. "Why will you go? I will show it to you. No; I will not show it. Isidor shall •how it to you. Isidor ! " he called, tlirough a small window in tho rear door--" Isidor, the Cremonese !" and, turning toward us, he said, in a mixed tone of vexation and rejoicing, and still eying the sisters suspiciously : " I did not think that Isidor would win. When he brought it and said to me : ' Ephraim, I have bought it, and the man will come for the money this afternoon--it costs $150!' No, wait a moment, I mistake, it cost $250--what do I say ? Three hun­ dred and fifty dollars I believe it cost. Then I said: " ' Isidor, what a fool you are ? Who will buy it ? Where lies the value ? You are unpractical for the business! You have been cheated !' "Then he sw<?re, high and low, that only an artist like himself could judge. And when I said again, ' No one will inquire for it, no one will buy it,' then he bet me $5 that he would sell it in a short time. "If you buy it, then Isidor lias won. Shall I not snow you the Oberlander, the pretty red ones, only $5 apiece ? " In the meantime Isidor had entered the shop, and comprehended the situa­ tion at a glance. He pushed his talka­ tive brother aside, and, bowinv to me in passing, he gravely made the* bisters a •tiff bow. "You wish (• see the violin?" he asked, and, without awaiting the answer, he moved toward the show window in visible excitement. "It is dear, very dear ; but just hear the tone I " said he, tuning the violin, and drawing the bow in long strokes across the single strings. Does it not sound like an organ ? " Isidor was now the artist again. In calm moments he had often regretted having given up his career, and if now and then he played, even hours at a time, what satisfaction was that to him ? He had not the public before him. But now ? The boldest and most dar­ ing evolutions were child's play to him. One cadence followed another wilder and wilder, certainly also more incor­ rectly than the previous one, and, when he had finished the introduction, he broke into a perfect flood of operatic melodies, till at last he finished with the at the time new piece of Meyerbeer, "Yes, Gold is Only a Chimera. With an ap'plawse-thirsty gesture, he ^aid down the violin. Poor Isidor! The public remained quiet and unmoved. Theresa had smiled and Marietta laughed aloud at the me­ chanical strokes and unlucky passages, which, however, Isidor haA taken as signs of approval. "I have not been able to form an opinion on the quality of the tone," said Theresa. " Will you try the instru­ ment once, Marietta ? I will be able to judge of the tone much better." * "How? What?" asked Ephraim, astonished; "you are making fun. The little lady already plays the violin ? " " Yes," answered Theresa, smiling ; "we both play a little." " That is right," said Isidor, handing the violin to the little one with friendly nod and encouraging look; " don't be bashful, and play us a piece." Marietta silently took- the instru­ ment, and, placing herself in position, began likewise with long strokes on the open strings. " The stroking is excellent," re­ marked Isidor, "yon will make a good player ; you have a good begin--" There--what was that ? Astonish­ ment forced the words down Isidor's throat. With the quickness of lightning, a succession of the most brilliant, bell­ like tones, in chromatic order, staccato, flew up into the fifth position, and end­ ed there with a brilliant trill fully a minute long, which, first swelling, sounded like the song of the nightin­ gale, and then, gradually decreasing, ended in fairy-like flageolet tones. Isidor stood there, eyes *nd mouth wide open. " The register is excellent, Marietta," said Theresa, joyfully, "but how is it with the Cantilene, in the middle regis­ ter ?" Marietta again raised the bow, and an extremely melancholy Gondoliera sound­ ed forth from the strings of the old vio­ lin, in longing, sorrowful tones. I leaned against the wall, shut my eyes, and forgot time, place and sur­ roundings. I had heard Paganini sev­ eral times ; he astonished me--his art dazzled me, but Marietta moved me-- touched my heart. The intensity ef my feelings brought tears to my eyes. Ephraim and Isidor Hirsch were turned into statues. " The Cantilene is good also," said the unmoved young lady. " But now it remains to try the strength and intensity of the tone. There, I will come to,your aid, my dear." She took the violin, and what Isidor had before remarked: " Does it not sound like an organ ? " became verified. Not in single tones ; no, in full chords flew the sounds from the strings. Not sweet melodies was it the bow enticed from the instrument--wilder, much wilder than Isidor had ever conceived, streamed the tone from the tyrannized instrument. It was like the prelude to a storm ; and, as whipped by the furies, in gigantic, powerful tones, the strings again sounded forth Joseph Panny's " Storm," Paganini's celebrated concert piece. I was overcome. Theresa laid down the violin. " The instrument is good, very good," said she, " and worth a much higher price than you mentioned before. The tone is un­ commonly sweet, as with all Guarheri violins, but it does not possess the mag­ nificence which the Stradivari, particu­ larly the great Antonio, understood so well to give to their instruments. I am looking for a violin of the first rank, and to that class this one cannot lay claim, notwithstanding its mauy merits." The sisters prepared to depart. "You wish an Oberlander? Tlie pretty, red one, for only $5?" asked Ephraim, approaching. Isidor now came to his senses again. He pushed his brother aside. "Fraulein," he be­ gan, " what shall I say ? Now, for the first time I perceive that I did right when I gave up art for the shop, and I do not now feel .the necessity for re­ proaching myself in my heart for the act; when I again touch the violin, it will oniy be for the purpose of cleaning it and removing the;dust. But now yon must tell me your honored names, that I may know to whom I owe it that my conscience is at rest." **' i .. ! The young lady smilingly pulled a j card from her pocket, wrote a few words j thereon and laid it on the table. | I knew already who these genii were, j and, in an elevated frame of mind, : walked forth into the pure air, where I could nourish these impressions unin- j fluenced by oppressive surroundings.

' - -- ' W Effect of Tea on the Skin. H.you place a few drops of strong fete upon a piece of iron, a knife blade, for instauce, the tannate of iron is formed, | which is black. If you mix tea with iron filings, or pulverized iron, you can make a fair article of ink. If you mix it with fresh human blood, it forms with the iron of the blood the tannate of iron. Take human skin and let it soak for a time in strong tea, and it will become leather. Now, when we remember that the liquids which enter the stomach are rapidly absorbed by the venous absor-' bents of the stomacii, and enter into the circulation and are thrown out of the sys­ tem by the skin, lungs, and kidneys, it is probable that a drink so common as tea, and so abundantly used, will have some effect; Can it be possible that tannin, in- ( troduced with so much liqu;d-producing respiration, will have no effect noon the skin ? Look at the tea-drinkers of Rus­ sia, the Chinese, and the old women of America, who have so long continued the; habit of drinking strong tea. Are they not dark-colored and leather- skinned? '*• . Watch the C hildren's Feet. Life-long discomfort and sudden death often come to children through the in­ attention or carelessness of the parents. A child should never be allowed to go to sleep with cold feet; the thing to be last attended to is to see that the feet are dry and warm. Neglect of this has often resulted in a dangerous attack of the croup, diphtheria or a fatal sore throat. Always on coming from school or entering the house from a visit or er­ rand in rainy, muddy or thawy weather, the child should remove its shoes, and the mother herself ascertain whether the stockings are the least damp. If they are, they should be taken off, the feet held before the fire and rubbed with the hands till perfectly dry, and another pair of stockings and another pair of shoes put on. The reserve shoes and stocking should be kept where they are good and dry, so as to be ready at a minute's notice. OUIO AT WOIIK. [From the Marietta Iie^'lster.] Our.

On Dangerous Ground. Miss Younglady owned to twenty-four, but not a year more. The city's celebra­ tion last week awoke liei to unwonted enthusiasm as to things military. She naturally began to reminisce. She spoke of the Bunker Hill celebration in 1875; she spoke of the soldiers' return from the war; she spoke of the scenes of military grandeur during the great struggle; she spoke of the rush to arms when the gun at Charleston awoke the nation to its danger. She was going even back of tnat, when a gentleman remarked, ' 'Let's see, it is nineteen years and over since that gun was fired." That was all he said, but it was sufficient. She was heard to gasp, "How time flies!" and then she fainted dead away. Some men are so wanting in politeness!--Bonton Transcript. A Phenomenal Whistler. William Gnmby, a colored man living in Philadelphia, is a very remarkable whistler. His notes are indescribably sweet, and yet withal powerful enough to fill a large-sized hall. Gumby can whistle in two distinct octaves at the same time, and when asked to give an exhibition of his skill he whistled the "Mocking Bird" and several other tunes in. a manner in which not two but three tones were distinctly audible. The tones seem to be something between a flute and a fife, possessing the sweetness of the one combined with the shrillness of the other, and yet possessing something that belonged to neither.

Out in California two men stood up to fight with drawn pistols, when one of them suddenly exclaimed: " Be still as death, Bill; there is a tar­ antula crawling up your shoulder. Don't move and 111 shoot him off." "Take good aim and shoot quick, Jim, for God's sake!" The sharp report of Jim's pistol rang out on the air, and that tarantula was knocked into kingdom done for, while Bill dropped his pistol and rushed into Jim's arms, and again they we»e friends, while "terautuler juice" flowed freely at the bar, and by three o'clock the next morning Bill hail killed Jim, and was riding away rapidly across the plains. A sketch of the life of the late Mrs. Lydia Maria Child furnishes this inci­ dent : " After the capture of John Brown and his accomplices in 1859, Mrs. Child wrote to Brown offering to visit Charles- town, where he was confined, and nurse him in his sickness. He replied, inform­ ing her that he needed no attention, but entreating her instead to bestow her liind offices upon his family, which she did faithfully. This letter involved her in a controversy with Gov. Henry A. W ise and J. C. Mason, of Virginia. This correspondence was published in pamphlet form, and more than 300,000 copies were printed and disposed of throughout tae country." The old Smith homestead, in the town of Heath, Mass., has become of historical interest The house was built by the grandfather of the present occupant, who is a lady more than 70 years old, and has been in the family ever since.

Cranberry jelly is also recommended, as tlw s^eds produce a wholesome irritation to the alimentary canal. Flaxseed tea, which is good for cough and sore throat, is made as fol­ lows : Put two table-spoonfuls whole flaxseed in a pint of boiling water, and boil fifteen minutes. Cat up one lemon and put in a pitcher, with two table- spoonfuls of sugar. Strain the tea boiling hot through a wire strainer into the pitcher and stir together. All medical writers agree that shaded screets are an essential element to public health ; that trees absorb miasma, purify the atmosphere, create currents of air, and produce a refreshing coolness. A tree is never at rest, even in a dead It is always fluttering its foliage and stirring up the stagnant atmosphere around it. A special fund ought to be granted the department of highways tor the planting of trees on all new and principal streets of the city. If a person swallows any poison what ever, or has fallen into convulsions from having overloaded the stomach, an in­ stantaneous remedy, most efficient and applicable in a large number of cases, is a heaping teaspoonful of common salt, and as much ground mustard, stirred rapidly in a teacupful of water, warm or cold, and swallowed instantly. It is scarcely down before it begins to come up,'bringing with it the remaining con­ tents of the stomach; and, lest there be any remnant of the poison, however small, let the white of an egg or a tea- spoonful of strong coffee be swallowed as soon as the stomach is quiet, because these very common articles nullify a large number of virulent poisons. Dr. Sydney Ringer calls the atten­ tion of the medical profession to the value of glycerine as a remedy in flatu­ lence, acidity of the stomach, and pyrosis. He states that sometimes he finds all of these gastric troubles com­ bined, but glycerine in nearly all cases relieves them. In some cases, too, it removes pain and vomiting, probably, like charcoal, by#preventing the forma­ tion of acrid acids, which irritate delicate and irritable stomachs. Glycerine does not prevent the digestive action of pep­ sins and hydrochloric acid ; and hence, while it prevents the formation of wind and acidity, probably by checking the fermentation, it in no way hinders di­ gestion. He administers a drachm or two either before, with or immediately after food. It may be given in water, coffee, tea or legion and soda water. Li tea and coffee it may replace sugar, a substance which greatly favors flatu­ lence, as indeed does tea, in many cases. In some cases a cure does not occur till the lapse of ten days or a fortnight. One of Rosse&n's Jokes. Rosseau went into a grocer's shop and said; " Have you any eight candles ?" i " Yes, sir ; we sell a good many of them. You see there are more poor peo­ ple than rich in the world." " Ah !" said Rosseau, " I see you are more than a grocer--you are an ob­ server." "O, sir !" said the grocer, flattered; " then you want, sir--" An eight candle, please." " Only one, sir ?" " One to begin with ; I'll see about more afterward." The candle was produced, and Ros­ seau said : " Will you kindly cut it in two ?" This was done; and he then said : " Now would you kindly cut the two halves into four ?" " Into four, sir?" "Yes; for my purpose I waht eight small pieces of candle." ^ "There they are." f " One moment; would you kindly make a wick to each piece ? And now can you oblige me with a match ?" This being done, Rosseau stuck the eight pieces in a line on the counter and lighted them. " May I ask what you are doing?" said the grocer. " O !" said Rosseau, " it is a joke." "A joke?" " Yes ; and, having made it, I wish you good-day." „ As he left the shop the grocer ran af­ ter him, crying: " But you haven't paid me for the candle!" "If I did," replied Rosseau, "where would be the joke ?" Daniel Webster's Humor. Daniel Webster was a grim humorist. On one occasion, when a Senator who was jeering another for some pedantry said, " The honorable gentleman may proceed to quote from ' Crabbe's Synonyms,' from Walker and Webster--" "Not from Walker and Webster," exclaimed the SehHtor from Massachusetts, " for the authorities may disagree !" At an­ other time, when he was speaking on the New York Fire bill, the Senate clock be­ gan suddenly to strike, and, after it had struck continuously for about fourteen or fifteen times, Mr. Webster stopped and said to the presiding officer, "That clock is out rf order, sir--I have the floor." The occupant of the chair looked rebukingly at the refractory time­ piece, but in defiance of the officers and rules of the house it struck about forty before the Sergeant-at-Arms could stop it; Mr. Webster standing silent, while every one else was laughing. On another occasion, while Mr. Web­ ster was addressing the. Senate in pre­ senting a memorial, a clerical-looking person in one of the galleries arose and shouted, " My friends, the country is on the brink of destruction ! Be sure that you act on correct principles. I warn you to act as your conscience may ap­ prove. God is looking down upon you, and if you act on correct principles "you will get safely through." He then de­ liberately stepped back, and retired from the gallery bef ore officers of the Senate could reach him. Mr. Webster was, of course, surprised at f.liiM ex­ traordinary interruption; but, when the shrill voice of the enthusiast had ceased, he coolly resumed his remarks, saying, "As the gentleman in the gal­ lery has concluded I will proceed."

Ifdt many years ago, wheA a lofty building was on the point of completion, the mason was in the habit of whistling to the laborer who attended him when­ ever he wanted a fresh supply of lime, and, as the scaffold on which he wrought was rather small, this occurred veiy $ften during a day's job. A joiner, who ^tvas fitting in a window immediately un- »llemeath, noticing Pat answer dutifully to every call from the mason, th."-ught of playing a trick on him by imitating the whistle, and thus brought him up with a hodful of lime when there was no room for it The mason told Pat that he had not whistled, so he had no other alter­ native than to trudge back with his load. This having occurred the third time during the day, Pat thought he would watch to hear where the whistle came from. He had not waited long with the hot! on his shoulder when he heard the iden­ tical whistle underneath where he stood, and, leaning over, he saw the head of the joiner protruding out of the window immediately below. Pat, without more ado, emptied the hod right over the whistler's howl. The joiner yelled and sputtered while attempting to clear him- seif from the adhesive mass; and, in the midst of his confusion, heard Paddy above shouting at the top of his voice: * "Whistle when you want some more mortar."
