Richard was not selfish, and, had he imagined what his mother was at that moment suffering, would have put the boat about and tied it forever at the I stake rather than cause her this agony, i Just as the boat got well into the toil I of the waves the sun arose, shedding | such brilliance on the waters that Mrs. | Swing who sat facing it, was dassled and well nigh failed to see in time a gill net into which the boat was running. , "See auy boatahead, mother?" ques­ tioned Richard. "You must keep a good lookout for me. I've got my ranges right, and can fetch the lobster grounds every time." "Is it far?" questioned his mothsr, shudderingly. " Not very; just outside Dull Head, I reckon we'll fetch it," said tne lad, dipping hie oars for a full stroke and let­ ting tiie boat slide up to the summit of a rolling wave, a trick he had caught from Capt. Hesekiah Danforth, the master boatman of Dell Haven. The wind grew stronger and stronger, and the waves every moment increased in size. Even Richard glanced sideways more than once with ill-concealed anxi­ ety as the long billows came tumbling on, and just then getting a glimpee of his mother's face beheld it so blanched with terror Of the sen that it seemed to him his mother was no longer In the boat with him. Dick," she gasp*' m his oar missed stroke and sent the spray over'the boat, Dick, I'm afraid to go on." Diok glanced backward. He had polled about a mile from, shore and was agidway between the two headlands fa­ miliarly spoken of the Horns. Dull Head was surrounded by an ever ac­ cumulating mass of breakers, and Bright Head caught the sea on its precipitous sides, sending it backward in foam, and all the . four mil̂ s that lay between tho two points were rolling miles of bil­ lows. Sitting with his fsoe landward Richard had not fully felt the danger. Now the lad oould not repress a shud­ der as he said: '• I don't believe I ooold find the buoys in suoh a sea, and nobody could haul in the pots. I believe I'U put about" " Oh, do! Oh, Richard there comes •n awful one f* and Mrs. Swing slipped down from her seat into the bottom of the boat said hid her fsoe from the on- ooming wave. Richard gave a mighty pull at the oars to keep the boat head on, and it rode that wave in safety only to meet new ones, into whose depths the tiny shell roiled! to be completely hidden from the sight of two men who were standing out on the Dell Haven pier. One was Hesekiah Danforth, the other was Gap! Rose. 45 If there was only a tug in sight to help them,™ groaned Oapl Rose. ' f " Why didn't you dun a little common sense into the woman if she didn't take any naturally,," scolded Qa§>t Danforth, "or shut her and the boy up some* wheres?" 551 told her, but I deolare when I was young I oould have brought down them oars in half the time it takes Jim to fetch 'em.

Oapk Roae's eye was on the speck. He dated not todtolt off leat never to find it again. Meanwhile the news got abroad that Oapt. Rose had telegraphed to Cornwall far a tug, and the burden of fear grew lighter. In the little boat again and again had iidiaard tried totornitBhead toward the in so water that he was forced to give could be done Richard land, but Tfith oach trial it took muoh up the attempt. but keep off and fsoe the boiling Very few words were spoken. Mrs. Swing kept bailing as fast as possible, with only the shell of a horse-snoe oiab to work with. At length came a wave like a small hill, np whioh the boat rode gallantly, and then suddenly Richard shouted: " They're oommg for as, mother. I see a boat just outside the harbor." Then the tears sprang to Mrs. Swing's eyes. She stopped bailing for a mo­ ment to look toward the shore. All she 0"uld see was a wall of wg&er shutting ont the land. " Courage, mother," Diok said. Every rise and Mi of the oar was a i prayer; every dip of the poor old onb ! shell was a petition for life. | Out from (>omwelI Harbor, seven l miles to the eastward, and hidden from i sight by Bright Head, steamed the tug | Good Heart, Never had its Captain j stood watching the sea with more earn- ; est gaze. Never was steam applied with ' more generous hand. 'Twas tne woman { and the boy in the boat out at sea that j lived in the gaze, in the steam and in \ the fuel, and Good Heart bore away ) with cordial speed till Bright Head was won and weathered. " I see it !" shouted the Captain, "though how in thunder it's lived to get J there's more'n I know," and he gave di- | reotions to steam outsider Richard's attention was so divided be* j tween the billows and the land and the friendly boat, and Mrs. Swing was so intent on bailing, that neither of them saw the tng until it was upgn them, a hailing voice shouted : u Hold on till we pick you np." It seemed as n voice from heaven had spoken. Even bluif old Oapt. Rose, up in the belfry of the ohurch, ejaculated, "Hiank Godr as he saw the tug oome to. The shook of the call, the sight' of the black, throbbing tug, friendly as they seemed, yet came near swamping the boat, for Richard let it turn, and the last strength he had was put forth in holding it up to the wind until a line was cast off, and even then he had no power to make it fast. It was Mrs. Swing that tried to obey the commands that came but oould not. Finally the tug's boat was lowered. It was no easy task to get to leeward and board the Good Heart, which held its breath, bracing itself against the waves almost as a tning of life to do its kindly office. Richard and his mother had been saved. " Give 'em a signal! Giro 'em three P* and the steam-whistle blew three shrieks that went over the bay and up the har­ bor and over against the meetang-houM steeple, until old Capt.

There's nothing else to do. never in all my life saw a time when there wasn't a sail in sight * * * The boat's gone! No 1 There it comes np again!" Suddenly a cry for a helping hand was raised among the bystanders, and will­ ing hearts went forth from the land. . " Every second tells. It's a race for life !" called out Capt. Danforth. "Jim, you'd better get in. You're strong ; if one of us tuckers out you can take hold." All ready lay the boat, a dark green surf boat, a boat that could stand heavy seas, and the two men and boy who had nobly volunteered were not long in start­ ing off. . j "Success to you. Fetch 'em back | alive I" called out Capt Rose. i All at once the pier at Dell Haven seemed thronged with people. The news was spread that Mrs. Swing and Richard .were out alone on the sea. As they watched the dim, dark speck now rising, upon the swelling waters and as quickly vanishing from sight, not one of the little throng but knew the danger of the tiny boat. With breathless eager­ ness they watched the surf boat as its two rowers stood at the oar urging it onward. "It's down thehsrbor now. They're catching it, Ifs an awful wind for June. Do you think they're gaining on 'em? That mite of a boat will never liv#till they get there/9 were some of the re- mards heard as they passed on. As for Capt. Rose he went panting vp the hill into the town, climbed into tne belfry of Dell Haven Church,, as far np as he could go, and watched with a spy-glass the progress of the mere speck in the distance and the toiling helpers so so far behind. After a few minutes, he realized that Oapt.

We will suppose a race of imwarlike savages, living on an island where loaves and roast mutton grew upon all the trees, and where the climate was so delightful that there was need for neither roof nor clothing. Under such conditions civiliza­ tion would be impossible. Conditions somewhat similar actually do exist, and under these civilization is impossible. The reason is plain. We have said that the people are savages--that is, they are motived by those wants only which are inseparable from all animal life. They are motived by the want to eat and the [ want to reproduce their species. Both I these they can satisfy with next to no j labor; at all events, there is no place for effort, and thus most of their life con­ sists of a painless leisure. Nevertheless, they do not employ this leisure in pro­ ducing luxuries that shall supplement their necessaries. Labor is impossible to them. Thev are no more capable of producing wealth than they would be had they neither hands nor muscles. Their island is rich, we will suppose, in coal and in metals; but they sink no shafts, build no furnaces, smelt no iron. And why? There is no want to compel them to do so. A man who is always sure of sufficient to eat, who suffers nothing for want of either shelter or clothing, who has never seen or heard of wealth, or dreamed of the attractions it might hold out to him--such a man will be incapable o£ any painful exertion, he will be incapable of raising himself, and so will a nation of such men. Let us suppose, however, that a stranger arrives to our island, who contrives by some : means or other to possess himself of all | the bread and of all the legs of mntton, and, withdrawing them for a single day, | makes the people feel the pangs of hun- fer. In a single day energy is created. 'he thing that was not, is. Now we j have arms and hands and intelligence, endowed on a sudden with power and ac­ tivity, and ready to be guided and partly ! informed by Ihe intelligence of him who J can give or withhold food. Now the : helpless, indolent, neryeless savages be- i come strong, industrious men. They 1 have been transfigured and made differ- | ent beings by this one agency--the ' agency of want, with the prospect of ' having their want satisfied. Thus they [ are perfectly pliant to their despot's will j --the will of the man who is the irre­ sponsible dispenser of food. He sets - tnem first to one labor, then to another; ; he teaches them verious arts.

ROOTS fed in a stats of decay induce blood poisoning, disorder the "milk of ewes and cows, and not prejudicially on the young of both.

DKBT,FY BOOT*I> crops, as wheat, red clover and mangel, are those beet fitted to resist drouth, while BhalloW-rooted crops, as grass and turnips, axe those that suffer most from it. TGK oleomargarine factories of New York have a producing capacity of 116,- 000,000 ponnds annually, while the pro­ duction of dairy butter in the State is only 111,000,000 pounds. A FAT calf is 65 per eenf. water and 15 per cent., fat, while an extra fat sheep is 37 per cent, water and 48 per cent, fat, and a fat pig is 43 per cent, water and 44 per cent. fat. HORSES are social animals, particularly so in the case of young horses. They thrive best when in the society of others, hence the advantage of pasturing several in one field where practicable. THE pigs on the great Cheddar daily farms in England are never fed on whey alone. It is thought more profitable to have a greater number than the whey will support, and then supplement by supplies of other food. THE beef of Hereford cattle is pecul­ iarly tender and fine-grained. For quantity as well as quality of meat they are not excelled. The capability of the breed as quick feeders and economical producers of meat is unquestionable. IN THE management of live stock it ia safer and better to 'give water before feeding than after. In the latter case the food is liable to be washed out of the stomach prematurely, while in an imperfectly digested state, and thus oc­ casion intestinal irritation and disease. THE delicate substance called arrow­ root is pure starch obtained from the root of a plant which grows in Jamaica and various islands in the West Indies. While the root of this plani furnishes a wholesome and agreeable food, the juice of the same plant is highly poisonous. CABBAGE will thrive on any good corn land, though the stronger the soil the better they will develop. New land is referable. Plow deep and manure very literally. The early sorts bear planting from eighteen inches to two feet apart in the rows, with the rows from two to two and a half feet apart; the large varieties to be from two to four feet apart, the distance varying with the size. The crop should receive as many as three hoeings and three cultivatings. Cabbage will not usually follow cabbage nor turnips successfully in field culture, unless three or four year^ have inter­ vened between the crops. A BOUGH wind prevents the regular spreading of seeds, therefore, choose a still day for sowing 4 grass seeds. Instead of mixing clovers and grass seeds to­ gether, the practice is recommended of going twice over the land, sowing the light grass seeds first, passing up and down t.he furrows, and subsequently crossing the lands at right angles with the mixture of clovers and other heavy seeds. The bush-harrow should be ap- applied immediately before and after sowing, thereby covering the seeds be­ fore the birds or a change of weather can interfere with them. After the har­ rowing, the whole should be csrefuUy rolled. ( AMONG the suggestions made bythe gentlemen who attended the ensilage congress at New York were the follow­ ing: "Whatever may have been the kind of silo used none of them seem to have failed to preserve their contents, not even the cheapest, which are really only holes in the ground." "I cut dry hay and straw and feed it, about one- Suarter in bulk, with the ensilage. It oes as well as meal or shorts." " I un­ load my stalks from the wagon by ropes laid under the stalks, attach the front ends to a hook and drive from under. The load rolls right off." " The silo is a receptacle for catching any crop that may be ready whenever the farmer is ready." "The greater consistency in the exorements from ensilage fodder shows that the material is prepared in the silo for digestion, by the softening of the cells." " The green fodder does not ferment in the silo nor produce alcohol. It only gets ready to ferment." "Crops should be kept in the silo at least three months, and the longer the better.". DR. J. B. LAWKS, of Rothamsted, England, is not a full believer in the new system of ensilage, although he has not given it a practical trial He gives an opinion of the effect of fermentation'on green food aa follows : "At Rothamsted I have about fifty-four cows in milk and about thirty head of young stock. Their main supply of food until next May will consist of mangels. More than half of the whole dry matter .of these mangels consists of sugar, and this sugar is the moat, valuable oT all the ingredients which they contain. Now, if I were to subject these mangels to fermentation in a pit until the sugar was converted into alcohol and carbonic acid, I should be destroying that valuable element ot food which I had been at so muoh cost to obtain. In the clamps where our mangels are stored their quality im­ proves, rather than the contrary, 'and a farmer would give a preference to roots which had been stored up for six months. If succulent food fpr winter is so valua­ ble in the States, some comparison should be instituted between the relative ad­ vantages of corn and mangels. As re­ gards ensilage, I must confess that I do not altogether like a process which ap* pears to be so destructive of food." . from pie, pour < and aet awayto eool- ir on the mixture, replace wMfcfMWlNfd Chhtwrr.--For brsakfMt m * in addition toooflM, hoe potatoes, make a plain oaelet> and |nst before it is fsady to take from the fire scatter over hiit rfi* some finely-chopped ham, whioh yon have already cooked and which is, hot, then double the outer half of the omelet over it, pnt on a hot platter and Send to the table.

July 30--Made the acquaintance of two American ladies and was much pleased with them. Mary Ashbnmham, alias Fanny Appleton, was a near neigh­ bor and friend of theirs--a most beauti­ ful girl, whom thirty bold gentlemen sought to win! She came to Europe and met Longfellow in the Black Forest, and there transacted the scenes de­ scribed in "Hyperion." She returned to America, and her father on his death­ bed expressed his wish that of all her suitor* she should fix her choice on Longfellow as the person most worthy of her and most able to t>ymputhize witii her feelings. After a little time she married him, settled in the country in poetic simplicity, and speaks of herself as the happiest woman possible.

A , Foratf in Louisville Medical Iftm. , t TUX <UU OV -BASIM* *'V'R$Y"'.-5 Dr. Footers Health Monthlff (1f«w York) commends the following thirteen rides--issued under the auspices of the French Academy of Medicine--for the care of infants ; 1. During the Jlrrf year the only suit­ able nourishment for an infant is its own mother's milk, or that of a healthy wet- nurse. Suckling should be repeated every two hours--less frequently at night. 2. When it u impossible to give breast milk, either from the mother or a suita* ble nurse, cow's or goat's milk given tepid, reduced at first orie-lialf by thus addition of water slightly sweetened, and after a few weeks one-fourth only; is the next-best substitute. 3. In giving milk to an infant always use glass or earthenware vessels, not metallic ones, and always observe this most scrupulous cleanliness in their management, rinsing whenever used. Always avoid the use of teats of cloth or sponge, so frequently applifed to appease hunger or quiet crying. 4. Never forget that artificial nourish­ ment, whether by nursing bottle or spoon (without the breast), increases to an alarming degree the chances of pro* ducing sickness and death, 5. It is always dangerous to give an infant, especially during the first two months of its life, solid food of any kind--such as bread, cakes, meats, veget­ able or fruit. 6. Only after the seventh month, and when the mother's milk is not sufficient to nourish the child, should broths be allowed, After the first year is ended then it is appropriate to give broth or paps made with milk and bread, dried flour, rice, and the farinaceous articles, to prepare for weaning. A child ought net to be weaned until it has cut its first twelve or thirteen teeth, and then only when in perfect hfealth. 7. A child should be washed and dressed every morning, before being nursed or fed. In bathing a child, tem­ per the water to the weather, carefully cleanse the body, and especially the geni­ tal organs, which require great cleanli­ ness and care; and the head Should bo carefully freed from all scabs and crusts which may form. Where the belly-band is used, it should be kept on for at least one month. 8. An infant's clothing should always be so arranged as to leave the limbs freedom of motion, and not to compress any portion of the body. 9. An infant's clothing should always be studiously adapted to the weather, avoiding at ail times exposure to the in* jurious effects of sndden changes in temperature without proper covering; but nurseries and sleeping apartments should invariably be well ventilated. 10. An infant should not be taken in­ to the, open air before the fifteenth day after birth, and then only in mild, fair weather. 11. It is objectionable to have an in­ fant sleep in the same bed either with its mother or nurse. 12. No mother should be in too great a hurry to have & child walk; let it crawl and accustom itself to rising on its feet by climbing on articles of furni­ ture, or assisted by the arms of a oare- ful attendent Great care should be taken in the too-early use of baby wag* ons, etc. 13. In oases of suspected either of mother or nurse, should be weaned at once. i gTAfnlim XH MAXT WIMfl II eOlSUMPTIVE GASES IT AII CXNERMMRTIR MM NO COUAL ITCQMTAIUS WO QWimOi ANT m MLE n ML mawre ®ittebs Iter ammterof a oantwyac moraHootettor'ti Btniai,*- ;i Btttem IMW been tha ralgiSim, speolSo for inrlliaatilraj;; tfrptspmla, fawer Mid aoat. m low ot phyatoftl BtaiafaM. . * .

Man is ot many troubles and changeabilities, but when potatoes are over 50 cents a peck it takes nerve to be a school teacher at $27 a month.

Worn care­ fully, not daily, it can hardly be. worn out. It can be washed any number of times ; and, not so peculiar as the point or applique laces, the Mechlins,, etc., all of which are much more fragile, it gives the soft effect of lace without attracting too much attention, so as to be recognized easily again. It is a very Rreat mistake to keep laces (particularly Valeneiennes, which is not at all injured by being washed) for years without washing. Many women believe that all lace is ruined by washing, and will keep some cherished bit of lac® for years, turning yellow with age, and rotting witi| the anst it has accumulated till it really drops to pieces., A Little Girl Defeats a BnlL A man at Henderson, Ga., while plow­ ing sent his 10-year-old daughter to the house for his gun for the purpose of shooting some rice birds. On her way back the little girl was attacked by a vicious bull, but, instead of running off in a fright, as most people would have done, she bravely stood her ground and the ben*t advanced discharged both barrels of the gun in his face. The bull, seemingly in a bewildered state, ran here, there and everywhere in search of the child, against fences, trees, etc., but climbiug a fence hastily she managed to escape. The father, hearing the report of the gun, hastened to the spot, and with the aid of twe colored men drove Ihe bull home, when it was found that both of his eyes were destroyed. Rich Men Who Are of 5o Use. It can hardly have escaped public at­ tention that the richest men of America have no desire to perpetuate their mem­ ory by leaving bequests for the creation or support ot colleges, libraries, muse­ ums, hospitals, or literary, artistic, sci* entitle or charitable institutions of any kind. They are iierfectly willing that the public should do anything and everything lor their pecuniary advanoe- ment while they live; but they show no disposition to do anything for the pub­ lic when they oome to die.--Memphis Appeal.
