My DutY. • *•: ! mamma! may I hare nay «hawi and go out into the garden, where the son shines so bright? Say, mamma, /My I?" "O, dont disturb me, child! Do what you please, only go and leave me in peace." And the little, ground, rosy-cheeked Fanny sprang away to the garden, very joyous that she had gained such an easy victory^Irhile Frau Piermont sat lean­ ing her head upon her hand, and the frown upon her brow spoke of care and perplexities. "I really do not know' what I ought to dc," she said softly to herself. "It is a very easy thing for the clergymen to stand before us in the pulpit and say, ' Do your duty.' But what is to be done when one has half a dozen duties that seem to conflict with each other ? What can one do? That, I should like to know! There is Piermont, who has the same incoine he had ten years ago, and the expense of living has doubled since then; and now, with the addition of six children to support--without Alice-r­ yes, there is Alice, too!" Unconsciously Frau Piermont's thoughts wandered back to the time when she had taken in the sweet little waif that a neighbor had found lying on his doorstep. She took the little babe, wrapped in rags, to supply the place in her heart recently left vacant by the death of her third child. She was be­ nevolent through selfishness. Nine years had passed, asd still the little one had remained in her home. Nine years like a beautiful sunbeam had the little golden-haired child played with her own dark-haired children--and to­ day for the first time in all these years, had the kind-hearted, but practical ma­ tron discovered that Alice was one too many in her family. _ "She is a pretty, good and obedient girl," said Frau Piermont to herself, "but she has not the shadow of a claim upon me; and, now I feel every cent that is paid out, and can scarcely make the debit and credit balance, it is my duty to care for my own children be­ fore her. Susie and Bess must have new winter garments, and Alice--must go to the Orphan Asylum.n Just as she came to this conclusion, the door softly opened and t*here en­ tered a fairy-like little girl with long golden curls and a pale, delicate faoe. "Mamma, I can't find little brother's neckerchief; I laid it down somewhere. Mamma," and she looked up frightened at the stern turn of Fhu» Pinrmnnf "truly I did not mean to. I will go and look again." "You are a naugl\tv, careless child," said the woman, and pushed the little creature from her as she attempted to put her arms about the mother. She must now try to steel her heart against all further tenderness. "That kerchief was worth $5; it was trimmed with real lace, and only yesterday you broke another cup. We are not made of money. Alice, we are poor people; so poor that"--the woman burst out with the fatal sentence at last--"you must go to the Orphan Asylum." "The Orphan Asylum, mamma?" and it seemed as though the little thing could scarcely breathe, so frightened was she at the very thought. "I am not your mother, Alice, and it will be best for you to leave off calling me so." And Frau Piermont thought of her own six children and closed her heart against all sympathy with the poor child's sufferings which lay in the frightful four words in question. "Go down-stairs, child, and rock the baby; Bridget has got to go out, and I have no time to answer you now." And she dismissed the child very sternly. She was resolved to give her into the hands of the committee of the State institution, and she would do it before the return of her husband, who was absent on a short business trip, and be­ fore she could relent in her present purpose. "I will reflect no more over it," the woman said to herself, "nor: say any­ thing more to her about it, lest, at last, all my economical plans should be up­ set J>y her blue eyes and sweet voice." Beside, Frau Piermont felt sure that Alice would have a strong advocate in her husband--men are so careless and stupidly good natured--neither would she mention her plans to the other children. "Children understand n«iMwg Gf such affairs," she said. No, thank God! children understand nothing of falsehood, greed and strategy, and so the Savior said, "Become as thin little child if you would enter the king­ dom of heaven." Why did not the woman think of this? Little Alice was very happy that Bhe was permitted to take an afternoon walk with her mother, and was wholly un­ suspicious of evil even when she entered the dismal-looking house with its neg­ lected yards. "Mamma," she said, "who lives here that we are to visit ? All about looks so hateful and unpleasant, no trees, no flowers or grass in the yard, only stones and sticks lying about. 1 hope, mamma, we shall not stay long in the dirty look­ ing place." Frau Piermont smothered the gnaw­ ing of her conscience, her guilt and re­ morse, but she was "doing her duty." She took Alice by the hand, entered the gloomy house, with the meagerly furnished rooms, where she Baw a shriv­ eled old woman, with a hard counte­ nance, habited in a sort of nun-like dress, busy with some sewing. "O!" she drawled, as Frau Piermont announced herself, "this is the child!" "Yes, this is Alice"--she interrupted herself, coloring to her brow, "we have always called her Piermont, but, of course, there must be another name found for her now." "Why, mamma?" asked the little one, looking up frightened and with a throb­ bing heart to the woman who for nine years had been a mother to her. "Am I not any longer Alice Piermont?" Frau Piermont kissed the child on her forehead. "®e a good little girl, Alice," she said J with an unsteady voice, "and do all that J the woman tolls you. We must part1 sow. Good-by.*^ But Alioe had become pale as death •ad elung fast to the hand of her adopted mother.- "Mamma! mamma!" she shrieked in a heart-piercing tone. "Ah, bah!" said the stern old matron, tearing the child away and stepping between her and the departing woman, where'H the use of a scene ? Little girls here that cry are shut in the dark oelLir." And before Alice, half blinded I by a torrent of tears, could free her hand from the woman, Frau Piermont had gone, never to be seen again, and i the terrified child was alone with the stern old woman, withered in soul and body. !• "At all events," said Frau Piermont, as she hastened from the house with an uneasy conscience, "at all events, I have done my duty. Alice had no claim upon me, and my own children need all I can provide for them." At the end of two weeks Herr Pier­ mont returned from his journey. He was * stout, bullet-headed man, with g*eat red whiskers and little "blue ey< e seemed all flesh and as though he could have no heart or soul, but his children received him with such noisy demonstrations of joy that it seemed as if they would lift the roof--an evidence that he must have a good heart, for children instinctively recognize that-- they are never deceived. As rosy Papa Piermont threw himself, breathless, into the arm-chair, with one child on his shoulder, another at his feet, a third on his right arm, a fourth on his left knee: "But where is Alice?" he exclaimed. " What has become of my dear little golden-haired laggard, that she is not here?" There fell a sudden silence, and Frau Piermont seemed as though her arm was driven by electricity. After a pause she said calmly, "I have sent Alice into the Orphan Asylum!" Herr Piermont, to whom rising just now would otherwise have been a diffi­ cult task, leaped to his feet as though shot from a mortar, and unoonsciously shook the children from him. "Alice into the Orphan Asylum! Our poor little Alice; nonsense!" he said, as though he had not heard aright. "I thought it was my duty," said Frau Piermont, hastily. "She was not our own child, and, as you must know, times are hard and I need all the money you have laid aside for the children's winter clothes, for Susie and Bessie need." Over the face of the good-hearted man there came a change, and he looked upon his wife with an expression such as she had never seen on his face before --a look of scorn. "Times must indeed be bad," he said, with severity, "when there was no longer a crust of bread, nor a yard of calico for the little Alice. Wife, wife, what have you done with your heart ? What did you think? Alice in the Or­ phan Asylum? Come, make yourself ready quickly, we will go and fetch her back at once." Frau Piermont began to weep hys­ terically, for her husband's words and her own conscience were remarkably unanimous. I knew I was wrong; I felt it all the time," she sobbed, "but you see we are so poor and I need every cent." "Yes, yes, child," he said, soothingly, and petted her as though she had been the little 2-year-old Barbara, "yes, yes, I know all that, but Alioe makes no. difference; She eats no more than a bird, and seldom tears her clothes, is always so contented and always the first to meet me at the door. God bless her little heart! Come, wife, come, we go at once and fetch her back; and think you, if our children were orphans, and should sit there and cry, and.--" Herr Piermont took his hat and over­ coat, and hurried out without finishing his sentence, his wife following; for she had only thrown her shawl about her, and was never before ready so quickly to go out as now. • m • " At the door of the asylum they were met by the churlish Frau Cenkow. "We were just about to send for you," she said; "but it is too late now. However, you can go in." "I hope she is not sick," said Herr Piermont, excitedly. "Sick!" said the woman in surprise,1 "not sick, but dead; and for the last four-and-twenty hours Bhe has done nothing but shriek in our ears for her mamma and listen at the doors; it was enough to make a stone nervous. I said if she did not die we must send for you. But the doctor thought no one ever died for yearning, so we waited. But she has died before you came, and it is better-- thank God!" HI* FAMILY DOCTOR.

A BAD COLD.--At the commence­ ment of a cold the mucous membrane of the nostrils often so swells as to pre­ vent the passage of the air through them, and the person is compelled to breathe through his mouth. The dis­ comfort may be often removed by hold- One does not MMil teaQy lo have got out of doors tiU M goes to set* On the land he is «|nH it by the hills, or the forests, or mare or less housed by fiie sharp faes oflda horikon.

He is in the greatest ooamic out-of-doors, as much so as if voyaging to the moon or to Mars. An astronomic solitude and vacuity surrounds him; his only guides and landmarks are stellar; the earth has disappeared; the horizon has gone; he has only the sky and its orbs left; this cold, vitreous, blue-black liquid through which the ship plows is not water, but some denser form of the cos­ mic ether.

If the corn is„ a very obstinate one, it may require two or more appli­ cations to effect a cure. SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS.--Clean­ liness is a great essential. Our life is passive during tho hours of Bleep, but our breathing goes on constantly, and the demands for pu#e air in sleeping rooms is very important. There should always be communication with the out­ side air, and in warm weather, the doors and windows may all be wide open. If currents of air can sweep through the rooms in the day time (or in the night without endangering the sleepers), so much the better. The bad air that or: iginatcs in sleeping room--the waste substance that escapes from human bodies, by the lungs and skin--settles and clings alxrat the carpets, curtains, bedding and clothing, tainting them with decomposing, and it may b*, pois­ onous matter, unless a constant cleans­ ing process is carried on by plentiful airing, and the aotion of light, es­ pecially sunshine. The room should contain as little drapery as possible. Rugs are better than carpets, and no heavy curtains should be used. The bed should not be made after using, antil the bedding has been well aired, and the more it can be exposed to bright sunshine, and out-door breezes, the better. The room should be kept as free as possible from all ordors. The night clothing should be well aired during the day, and the day clothing should be placed at night where it will get aired before it- is again worn. Sleeping rooms are often much crowded. Tt would be well, could each, when old enough, have a private room and a clean bed apiece. A great gain in health would result from this arrange­ ment. In our present state of poverty, we can only insist that no more than two ought to occupy tho same bed. It is an outrage on infancy to wedge a ba­ by in between two grown-up peojjle. Much injury is done to the health and: so the morals of the children by thef crowded sleeping arrangements in fam­ ilies. The practice is now becoming quite common among careful people, where there are several young children, for the parents to divide the care of tho little one. the mother taking the voungn est in her bed, and the father attending^ to the next to the youngest, and to ' others if there is need. It seems a pity that the man of the house should be broken of his rest, but it is quite as bad a thing to have the children's mother made sick and nervous from lack of 6leep, and excess of care. With atten­ tion to the law s of health, especially in regard to food and air, there need be little suffering from broken rest, as healthy children Bleep soundly and quietly, and need little care. der improved conditions. If he j being borne through the interplanetary 1 spaces on MI immense shield, his impressions would not perhaps be much different. He would find the same vacuity, the same blank or negative space, the same empty, indefinite, op­ pressive out-of-dooro. For it must be admitted that a voyage at sea is more impressive to the imagin­ ation than to the actual sense! The world is left behind; all standards of size, of magnitude, of distance, are van­ ished; there is no size, no form, no per­ spective ; the universe has dwindled to a little circle of crumpled water, that journeys with you day after day, and to which yon seem bound by some en­ chantment. The _sky becomes a shal­ low, close-fitting dome, or else a pall of cloud that seems ready to descend upon you. You cannot see or realize the vast and vacant surrounding; there is noth­ ing to define it or set it off. Three thousand miles of ocean space are less impressive than three miles bounded by rugged mountain walls. Indeed, the ' grandeur of form, of magnitude, of dis- , tance, of proportion, etc., are only upon | shore. A voyage across the Atlantic is a ten-day sail through vacancy. There is no sensible progress; you pass no fixed points. Is it the steamer that is moving, or is it the sea? or is it all a dance and illusion of the troubled brain? Yesterday, to-day and to-mor­ row you are in the same parenthesis of nowhere. The 300 or more miles the ship daily makes is ideal, not real. Every night the stars dance and reel there in the same place amid the rig­ ging ; every morning the sun comes up from behind the same wave, and stag­ gers slowly across the sinister sky. The eye becomes a-hunger for form, for per­ manent lines, for a horizon wall to lift up and keep off the sky, and give it a sense of room. One understands why sailors become an imaginative and su­ perstitious race; it is the reaction from this narrow horizon in which they are put--this ring of fate surrounds and op­ presses them. They escape by invok­ ing the aid of the supernatural. In the sea itself there is far less to stimulate the imagination than in the varied forms and colors of the land.

Belgium is the most-carefully and So spake the woman whom the State had appointed and paid to be a mother to the motherless children, while Herr and Frau Piermont bowed over the fairv-like form with the golden hair combed back from the cold forehead, and the little hands folded over the still breast. "What was the matter with her?" in­ quired Herr Piermont, endeavoring to choke back his tears.-1 "Oh, I don't know!" said the* old woman, indifferently; "nothing in par­ ticular; she must have died of home­ sickness and a broken heart." Of home-sickness!--that was it; and the little Alioe had gone to the eternal gardens that Christ had reserved for children that die for want of paternal 'dove. But Fran Piermont had done nothing bnt "her duty." Strongest Man In tin World. There lives at Reno, Nev., a man who claims to be the strongest human being in the world. His name is Angela Car- della. He is an Italian, aged 38, and stands five feet ten inches^ in height, weighing 138 pounds. His strength was born with him, for he has had no athletic training. He differs from others chiefly in osseous structure. Although not of unusual size his spinal column is double the ordinary width and his bones and joints are made on a similar large and {generous scale. He can lift a man of 200 pounds with the middle finger of his right hand. The 'man stood with one foot on the floor, his arms out­ stretched and his hands grasped by two persons to balance his body. Cardella then stooped down and placed the third finger of his right hand under the man's foot, and, with scarcely any perceptible effort, raised him to the height of four feet and deposited him on a table near at hand. Once two powerful Irishmen waylaid Cardella with intent to thrash him, but he seized one in each hand and hammered them together till the life was nearly hammered out of them. He is of a quiet and peaceful disposition, and his strength is inherited, for he states that his **>«> po werf ai loan himself.. : elaborately-cultivated country in Eu rope, and the Belgian farmers raise larger crops per acre in their small, un- fenced and finely-lined farms than are raised anywhere else. Farming there partakes of the nature of gardening: indeed, it would be called gardening elsewhere. Wheat is the important crop, and the management of it is par­ ticular to what other people would call an extreme. Tfi^ seed is sown in the fall--spread broadcast and thick over rich and well-prepared plant-beds, simi­ lar to those which Missouri tobacco- raisers prepare for their tobacco seed. The young wheat comes up thick, rank and strong in the fall, and remains so all winter, forming a mat on the ground. In the spring the ground is thoroughly prepared by deep plowing and harrow­ ing, after which it is marked off in drills ten inches to one foot apart, one way. The wheat plants are then pulled up from the bed in bunches and care­ fully picked apart, dne at a time, and dropped at distances Of four to six inches in the drills in the field. After the dropper follows the planter, who, with a trowel or thin paddle, makes holes in the drills at the proper dis­ tances, and 6ets out the separate plants in the same manner as strawberry, to­ mato or tobacco plants are set * out. When the work is done there is a wheat field planted in drills one foot apart, and with the plants six inches apart in the drills. It is a tedious and particu­ lar process. But on the small five-acre Belgian farms, worth $200 to $500 an acre, it amply pays for the trouble. The Belgian wheat fields after being planted are carefully cultivated between the rows by hand until the plants are too high to admit of further work. The plants branch into stools, from each of which shoot up stalks bearing heavy heads of grain; and when the harvest comes the yield is 100 to 160 bushels of grain to the acre. " Good Manners. Good manners imply more than mere ceremony, mere attention ti, established forms. The habitual observance of cer­ tain conventional rules and usages does not make a lady or gentleman. Some degree of formality is necessary in con­ ducting our relations and intercourse one with another, but there must be with it some heart;, some genuine love for our kind; otherwise we can neither be the instruments or recipients of en­ joyments in the midst of the social cir­ cle. To impart or receive pleasure in society there must be at least "the flow of soul," if not the "feast of reason." We may admire this or that person for special accomplishments of manner, style and conversation; but if these are seen and felt to be merely artificial, not at all involving the affections, we can never love the same. No gifts of mind, nor elegance of person, nor propriety of personal bearing can compensate for the want of heart in company. It is only the heart that can touch and im­ press the heart. A warm confiding soul is the element of all enjoyment and pleasure in the social world; and where this is there can be no stiffness,- no studied formalism of """fr or lan* guage. I Don't Believe It.

It is a singular fact that the use . of opium does not, like that of alcohol, shorten life. This is a fact rather start­ ling to the mortalist. Schlegel speaks of a woman who lived upon opium from her 49th to her 70th year, and Dr. Shaughnesssv, of Calcutta, who made the subject a study, says: "The longev­ ity of opium eaters is proverbial. John Randolph died at 60, Coleride at 62, Hoel at 66; DeQuincy lived to be 72 years of age, while Lamartine died at the ad­ vanced age of 77. Morewood, in his sketches of Persia, relates that the Khan of Scliiraz took opium enough at a time tp poison tnirty persons, yet he lived to be 96 years of age."--Cincinnati En­ quirer. PARMENTIEB says that the best method of . storing thoroughly dry and clean wheat is in sacks isolated from each other, care being taken to keep a sufficiently low temperature in the granary. The Coon Hunter's Wife. A clergyman laboring in the mount­ ain districts of Fayette county, W. Va., gives the following conversation he h«jj with a woman there recently: "Is your husband at home?" "No; he is coon-hunting. He killed two whooping big coons last Sunday. "Does he fear the Lord?" "I guess he does, 'cause he always takes his gun with him." "Have you any Presbyterians around here?"
