My Little Flower Girl.
Among a group of peasant children
playing on the Schlossberg, one, a little
girl of perhaps seven years, impressed me
particularly. Her face was one of the
BuAtAsf. T had ever seen, with soft, dark-
Vmtmvti AVAR shinine tinder a mist of
tangled golden hair, which lay on her
shoulders in lose curls, like yellow silk.
Her little brown feet were almost hidden
in clattering wooden shoes, and an occa
sional rent in the coarse petticoat she
wore showed glimpses of a delicate white
Her blue apron, full of grass, afforded a
tnmntin? meal to one of the red-saddled
donkeys that bear visitors up to
She glanced at me as I passed, and at
that instant looked at my ideal of the little
flower girl I wished to plant.
Sh wa called Lottcben.and her mother
lived where the cactus was blooming
in the window, higher up the bill.
It nras Hnon arranged : Lottchen's over
worked mother was too glad of the few
Ann so easilv earned, and I retraced
mv steps to my studio to wait my
model. , ,
Tn hnlfan Vinnr she came : but what
change had come over the little sprite I
VtaA qa An nn the hill.
Her picturesque dress was replaced by a
gaudy-figured stuff, apparently belonging
to an older sister ; a string of hideous
beads marred her pretty neck, and, worst
of all, her silken hair, the wild disorder
of which I had so admired, was oiled and
tortured into two stift plaits.
I could see that Lottchen was grieved
and astonished that her brilliant costume
did not meet with my approval ; dui
T tnlrl hr to to home and put on
her old dress, she went without
WhilA she was awav I tried to think
over my picture, but my thoughts refused
to dwell on ine nuie nowergiri.
Thev wandered back far back to
time when I was happy with youth's first
flush of hope and love.
What was it about that child's face that
bad brought back again the romance of
mv life.
Mv eve wandered to the most tastelul
nook in mv studio : a kind of shrine to
nicture whose face was turned to the
wall.
I never could work with that face look
ing at me ; It set my thoughts astray,
was Door and struggling, and could i
afford to lose time in idle reveries ; but to
day I was reckless.
I turned the picture and gazed, till
forgot everything else, on a fair face, with
deep, dark eves looking at me over one
white shoulder.
"Clara, my one darling!" rose to my
lips for the thousandth time, and died
there.
It was such folly to cherish still the
memory of one who had b sen for years
the wife of another.
Perhaps her father was right in forbid
ding the union of his beautiful daughter
with an enthusiastic young artist, whose
name and fortuue were all in the future.
And they were in the future still, while I,
Friedrich Hartmann, was drifting on to
ward middle age.
How the wrinkles were beginning to
show in my forehead ! I could see them
even in the mirror across the room ; and
was there always such a melancholy look
in my eyes? Some one called them bright
and roguish once. My hair was more unkempt-looking
than that of most men.
Perhaps the boys in the street were right
in calling me "Tow-haired Fritz." I
wondered if they would be more respect
ful when the silver hairs began to show.
And then my clothes how shabby
they were growing! but nobody cared
now how I looked.
There was a look in Clara's face that
vaguely recalled the little peasant
child.
Short steps sounded on the gravel out
side, and I turned my picture back to its
quiet hiding-place.
Lottchen was all the one I could wish
as a model ; her expression as she looked
up beseechingly, with a little bunch of
flowers in one brown hand, was perfect.
I was called out during one sitting, and
when I returned my patient little maiden
had fallen asleep, with her head resting
on her folded arms, and her basket of
flowers overturned at her feet.
This attitude suggested a pendant,
painted long after, to the picture which
so strangely turned my fortunes into a
happier channel.
At last my work was finished ; there
were two Lottchens now within a stone's
throw of the castle.
I dismissed the living one with much
regret, and the one on canvas soon after
went to try its fortune in a larger city.
For a long time I had no word of my
little picture, and I began to think it was
another added to my long list of disap
pointments, when one day I heard a
lady bad bought my flower girl, giv
ing for it a sum which seemed to me fabu
lous. The letter stated further that this lady
was particularly anxious to know the
artist, in order to ask a question about
the picture.
The name of my benefactress was
Main waring. This was all I discovered
for many weeks, although I sent my name
and address.
Considerably encouraged by the sale of
my last effort, I began a new picture a
glimpse from my studio-window, the
main tower of the castle showing boldly
against the summer sky, with a bit of the
Neckar, spanned by its quaint old bridge,
winding peacefully below.
I was working vigorously One afternoon
feeling almost like my old cheerful self,
when a card was handed to me.
A lady, Mrs. Mainwaring, was waiting
in my modest little reception-room. The
name was very familiar, as my purchas
ers were so few.
A tall, graceful figure in deep mourning
rose to greet me as I entered the room.
" Have you forgotten an old friend, Mr.
Hartmann ? " she asked, raising her
veil.
Good heavens! it was Clara. But oh,
how pale and sad she looked !
Her mournful expressisn helped me to
control my feelings more than anything
else could have done.
She said that after hearing my name
she had felt a new interest in coming to
dear old Heidelberg to inquire about my
picture, but she had fallen ill on the
way.
Then, with faltering voice, she told me
her trouble. Her husband had died two
years after her marriage, leaving her a
charming little girl, who became almost
her sole companion. This idolized child
had died ' only a short half-year before my
second meeting with Clara.
A few months after her bereavement
Clara was wandering through a picture
gallery, when she saw my picture, and
was transfixed with astonishment. The
little flower girl was so overwhelmingly
like her lost darling that she was tortured
with anxiety till she could call the picture
her own, as, by an unfortunate chance,
she had no likeness of her child.
Her next wish was to know the little
girl who had served as model for the
painting. She seemed eager, as it sue
expected to see her own child again. I
took ber to see Lottcnen tnesame aner-
noon.
Happier davs dawned for my little
model, and the care of the donkeys was
given into other hands. Clara showered
blessings on her in tne lorm 01 a uiguer
education and happier home, though she
never cared to call the peasant child her
own. .
Gradually our talks together drittea
back to the past, and one calm summer
evening 1 was emboiuenea to ten uer uiy
love-tale, interrupted so many years be
fore.
She heard it through to tbe end, ana
this time her answer was a premise
which has made the happiness ot my
whole life. We were married quietly
soon after.
Perhaps it is unpardonable vanity, out
the picture I prize most in all the world is
My Little Flower Girl.
Shakspeare's Early Married Life.
Harper for May.j
The Hathaways had lived in Shottery
for forty years prior to Shakspeare's mar
riage. The poet, then whollv undistin
guished, had just turned eighteen, while
bis bride was neany twenty-six, anu h is
often said now that she did very wrong
to wed this boy lover. They were mar
ried in November, 1582, and their first
child, Susanna, came in the following
May. Anne Hathaway must have been a
wonderfully fascinating woman, or Shak
speare would not have so loved her, and
she must have loved him dearly as what
woman, indeed, could help it? or she
would not thus have yielded to his pas
sion. There is direct testimony to the
beauty as his person, and in the light af
forded by his writings it required no ex
traordinary penetration to conjecture that
his brilliant mind, sparkling humor, ten
der fancy and impetuous spirit must have
made him in his youth the very paragon
of enchanters. It is not known where
thev lived during the first years after
their marriage. Perhaps in this cottage
at Shottery. Perhaps with Hamnet and
Judith Sadler, for whom their twins, born
in 1585, were named Hamnet and Judith.
Her father's house assuredly would have
been chosen for Anne's refuge.when pres
ently, in 1586, Shakspeare was obliged to
leave his wife and children and go away
to London to seek his fortune. He did
not buy New Place till 1597, but it is
known that in the meantime he came to
his native town once every year. It was
in Stratford that his son Hamnet died, in
1597: Anne and her children had prob
ably never left the town. They show her
bedstead and other bits of her turniture,
together with certain homespun sheets of
. . i li i. I u : -
everlasting mien, mat ure nepi. as ucn
looms to this day. in the garret of the
Shotterv cottage. Here is the room that
must often have welcomed the poet when
he came from his labors in the great city
It is a very homely and bumble place, but
tbe sight of it makes the heart thrill with
a strange and incommunicable awe. You
cannot wish to speak when vou are stand
ing there. You are scarcely conscious of
the low rustling of the trees outside, the
far-off sleepy murmuring of the brook,
or the faint fragrance of woodbine or
maiden's blush that is wafted in at the
open casement, and that swathes in na
ture's incense a memory sweeter than
itself. .
Fruit-Trees With Low Tops.
There can be no advantage of having a
tree-top twenty feet high, with the ex-
tremeties of loner, slender branches. As
a rule, fruit trees should be low-headed
so low that when the fruit begins to
bear, the branches will reach to the
ground. Dwarf trees, in particular,
should be trained with low heads. It
gives us great pleasure to see that this
matter is already understood in the West.
Tbe late planted orchards and tbe nur
series, too, anord evidence of this, so
that we can find but one opinion among
the more intelligent cultivators. For
the pear and cherry, this is still more
essential than for the apple, because
these trees are more delicate in general,
and injuries are more fatal to them. For
both these trees we prefer the conical
form, whether on dwarfs or free stocks,
not because the trees in that form are
beautiful, but because the trunks and
large branches can be more effectually
protected. The trees of finer pears are
all easily injured by freezing and thaw
ing in the bark, which is smooth and thin ;
but if the trunks are well feathered with
branches to the ground, they will seldom
be injured. It should be always borne
in mind that the trunk of the tree is the
main channel of circulation. When
it is injured, circulation will be impeded
and irregular, and a general debility will
quickly follow. Some people argue that
this training of the trees as low standards
and pyramids is both expensive and un
natural. The low standard requires no
more pruning after the tree is planted
than the high one, and it is just as
natural, and more so, for the tree to
branch at three feet from the ground
than at eight feet. The conical form does
require some pruning at first to fix the
habit that is to secure a preponderance of
vigor and size for the lower branches.
When this is done it becomes natural, as
most pear and cherry trees, if left to
themselves in abundant space, will as
sume the conical form voluntarily.
Woodland Democrat.
Agricultural.
Succor the grape vines and trees. If
sprouts put out from peach or apple trees
they should be removed at once, both for
the sake of look and material benefit to
the trees.
Keep the runners pinched off the
strawberry plants if you desire a good
crop. The runners sap the life out of the
plant which should go to sustain the
ripening berries.. It can be done by the
thumb and finger, if taken when "they
first shoot out. Later in the season will
be time enough to leave runners for
sets.
To raise tomato, cabbage, cauliflower
and other plants for the garden, fill a box
with alternate layers of old, well-rotted
manure and sandy dirt, and sow the seed.
Keep it constantly moist by sprink
ling, and cover with window glass or thin
muslin stretched tight. This will give
give plants in a week or ten days, and
they can be transplanted, a few at a time,
as they are wanted. Cauliflower is a
vegetable that is rarely seen in the
farmer s garden, and yet it is as easy to
raise as the cabbage, and is one of the
most valuable ot vegetables. Sow tbe
seed precisely as cabbage seed is sown,
and transplant. It may be necessary, in
some places, to water these plants by
band. If so, no farmer should be de
terred from planting them on this ac
count, for there is no trouble that will
bring greater profit. It is astonishing how
many vegetables can be raised on a very
small tract of ground.
The safest way to graft grape vines is to
cut them off below the level of the
ground, and then with a saw or wide
chisel make an incision in tbe stump to
receive the scion, which should be sharp
ened to the shape of a wedge and placed
so that the bark will match with the bark
of the stump. Cut the scion dowafc.about
three buds, and bank up with dirtaround
it. Stakes should be driven, and when
the grafts come up tie it to the stake.
The stumps which fail to grow grafts
should be dug up, as it is a waste of
money to try them a second time. In
digging up old vines, if they have been
planted by rooting and cuttings first, the
roots can easily be reached with the
grubbing hoe, but if cuttings have been
used then the lateral roots will be found
about two feet beneath the surface. In
order to prevent sprouting, they will
have to be taken up below where the
bottom of the cutting was. Grape brush
should not be piled around the fence cor
ners, but ought0 to be burned at once.
Though green, the canes burn very
readily.
Varieties of Strawberries. All the im
proved varieties which have been the re
sult of diligent experiment on the part of
berry fanciers in the .bast have been
brought to this coast, and are now being
propagated for sale. As many of our read
ers may contemplate the improvement of
their strawberry beds, or the planting of
new ones, we wish to give a word ot cau
tion in regard to purchasing strawberry
plants. Not that all the varieties adver
tised will not, under proper conditions,
produce what is claimed for them, but
that some are adapted to one kind of soil
and some to another. Some will not stand
our hot climate, some will not endure
frost, and others thrive only on heavy
land, while still others would not bear at
all on adobe soil. From our own exoeri
ence we judge the Monarch of the West,
that bnest ot all berries, to be tbe best
We believe that the Monarch should be
planted only in gravel or loam, and that
for such land it is peculiarly adapted, by
reason of its being a deep rooter and hav
ing such enormous loliage as to enectual-
ly shade the ground. The leaves of the
Monarch are almost like cabbage leaves
and tbe berries that grow under them are
as large as eggs. Un tbe plains ot sacra
men to the Monarch was tried and dis
carded as being a shy bearer, and yet
every one who has seen it under different
conditions knows it to be one of the most
prolific in the whole list. Along the
American river bottoms it has been tried
and found to do exceedingly well. A large
number ot these plants have been planted
in and around San Jose this season, and
also a few thousands in Napa County
Whether they will be a stable berry for
the market or not remains to be seen.
The Longworth Prolific, so far as we have
noted tbem, are a tender plant, the
leaves withering in the sun unless con
stantly watered. They are highly spoken
of in the East, and the berries are said to
be remarkably nne. the beth Hoyden
No. 30, has been tested in a limited way
and found to produce a fine berry, and it
gives promise of adapting itself to our
climate. The Captain Jack we have seen
tested, but do not fancy it much. It is a
hardy plant, with exceedingly dark foli
age and a very fine berry. The Wilson
predominates in some localities still, but
Triumphe de Grande is coming to take its
place as a market berry. Those who con
template setting out berries shouldascer
tain of those from whom they purchase
the exact characteristics of the several
varieties ; and the better way would be to
try a few each, and at the end of the year
select such runners from those which
have done the best and root out those
which fail.
An Ingenious Trick.
Ingenious is the American rogue. A
poultry speculator in Warren County,
Pennsylvania, buys chickens in the coun
try and writes out a receipt for the farmer
to sign. The point of his pencil invaria
bly breaks off just before the signature is
reached, and be produces a fountain-pen
from his pocket. The body of the receipt
is written in pencil and the farmer's name
in ink. When the speculator goes to
town he erases all tbe pencil marks, and
writes out in ink a promissory note for
$100 or $150 and has it discounted by a
bank. Again : The Treasurer of Fulton
County, Pennsylvania, recently owned a
saw-mill, but when he went to look for it a
few days ago it was missing. The mill,
saws, wrenches, dogs, crowbars, logs and
the whole concern had been carried off
by thieves. Being a man who believes in
making the best of every evil to which he
may be exposed, be is now thankful that
the water power was left behind.
Pressed Flour.
A French chemist last year exposed a
quantity of flour to a "hydraulic pressure
of 300 tons, which reduced it to a quarter
of its original bulk without impairing the
quality. He packed a portion of it in tin
boxes and sealed them up, doing the same
with the impressed flour. When opened
in three months, the former was better
preserved than the latter. When baked
into bread, the pressed article was de
cidedly superior. After the lapse of a
year, other cans were opened, and the
impressed flour had become spoiled,
while the pressed remained sweet and
was excellent when baked.
Mythology The Gorgons.
Norrlstown Herald.
These young ladies wore the names of
Stheino, Euryale and Medusa, and were
never known to write tbem Jiinie, JHurie
or Medie. They were the daughters of
Phorkys and Keto. Here is a splendid
opportunity to make a pun on Miss Keto,
but we will not embrace it. We'd rather
embrace one of the other daugh but let
that pass. Puns are detestable anyhow
especially if, after you have spent fifteen
minutes in constructing one, you are
asked to explain it. Medusa was the
youngest and most beautiful of the gor-
gons, and was addicted to bandKerchiet
flirtation with young men who parted
their hair in the middle. She was
"mashed" classic phrase on Neptune,
and once met him in the Temple of Ath
ene. A little bird didn't sing much in
her heart after that. The authorities re
garded such a meeting a desecration of
the Temple, and punished Medusa by
turning her beautiful hair into snakes.
This transformation frightened Neptune.
Supposing a vigorous attack of delirium
tremens had seized him, he hurried off to
a Murphy meeting and signed the pledge
and became one of the leading cold-
water men of his time. It was extremely
painful to see the once fair Medusa, with
492 hairpins in her mouth, vainly trying
to pin her serpentine tresses into a coil of
H Tench twist. As if a bead full of rep
tiles was not punishment enough, her
beauty was destroyed. Her face became
so terrible to behold that the spectator
was turned into stone which was a
gneiss way of making statues. They were
cheaper than Vinnie Ream's and more
lifelike. We are not informed what dis
position was made of the petrified spec
tators, but no doubt they were utilized as
tobacco-store signs. When Medusa lost
ber beauty she lost her admirers, it was
decidedlv rough on Medusa, but a young
man bad to be made ot pretty stern stun
to call on a girl on Sunday night and let
a head full of snakes repose on his shirt
front until 2 a. h. A Mr. Perseus finally
found Medusa asleep, and. closiner his
eves, cut off her head with his sword,
and presented it to Minerva, who wore it
on ber shield as a terror to ner enemies
And all this terrible punishment was vis
ited upon Medusa on account of her flirt
ing with Neptune in the Temple of Ath
ene ! She should have met him in the
Postofhce. Scores of girls meet young
men in the postomce nowadays, but we
have not yettheard of any of them hav
ing tbeir hair turned into snakes.
The steamship California, from Alaska,
reports all quiet at Sitka, and the war
steamer Alaska lying at anchor in tne
harbor. Six of the Alaska's crew attempt
ed to desert a few days ago by swimming
ashore, having donned lite preservers
They were tracked by Indian runners and
captured. .

How to Become Graceful.
The Young Woman's Journal thinks a
refined, graceful and manner, is one that
can be acquired by any woman. It says :
" The best grace is perfect naturalness.
Still, you must study yourself and form
your manners by the rule of that art
which is but a carrying out of the law of
nature. But if it is your nature to be for
ever assuming some unpicturesque, un
graceful attitude, pray help nature with a
little art.
If you are stout, avoid the smallest chair
in the room, and be sure you sit on it,
not to lean back on it with your hands
folded in front of you just below the line
of your waist, especially while the present
fashion lasts.
Do not wear flimsy materials made up
without a ruffle, or puff, or flounce, to
fill up the hard outlines of your bad
figure, so cruelly defined by the tightly
pulled back d rap jries.
Study the art of dress. We once knew
a very plain woman who dressed so taste
fully that it was an absolute pleasure to
look at her.
If you have been moping until you are
sick with the thought of your own hope
less ugliness, be up and doing. Forget
your disappointments, forget your past,
and the sneers of your own family over
the mistakes that you have made."
Dr. May, of New York, says that sulpho
carbonate of soda is the only certain spe
cific for the dreadful disease diphtheria.
Here is the prescription : Ten grains of
sulpho carbonate of soda, dissolved in a
tumbler and a half of cold water. Take
from one half to a teaspoon ful, according
to age, etc., ef patent every hour, until
the parasite is destroyed. Then one tea
spoonful every two or three hours, ac
cording as the circumstances may require.
This will cure every time if taken before
the gangreen sets in. The same treat
ment for scarlet fever as diphtheria. By
following this prescription yon will save
both the life of your child and a big doc
tor bill.

J. Horse, Prop"r., Dear sir:
I feel that I owe it to you and
to humanity to write the fact
that I have been SUBSTAN
TIALLY CURED of a bad
rupture, of thirty years' standing, by one of
your incomparable 'trusses, wnicn purcuaseu.
from you three months ago. I cannot describe
the suffering, both mentally and physically, that
I have undergone during that period; anof now I
feel like a new being. I have worn all kinds of
Trusses, both steel and elastic, and never re
ceived any permanent relief until I tried yours.
Its simplicity of construction, and facility with
which it can be adjusted, and the ease and free
dom to the motions of the body with which it
can be worn without causing any irritation, are
its chief merits, and it is a perfect supporter. I
have not had any sign of a return of a Rupture
since the first day I put it on, and feel that I am
PERFECTLY CURED. It is invaluble, and the
iact should be known to the world. You can
refer any one to me on the subject of their merits.
I am your3 truly,

California. Truss Co:
After practicing medicine many years in this
city, during which time I have had an extensive
experience in the application of all kinds of
Trusses, I can and do recommend yours as the
best in every respect, and is as near perfect as
modern science can make it. It has many advan
tages over the torturing steel hoop Trusses, which
inflict great injury on the hips and spine, bring
ing on other distressine: ailments, such as Lum
bago, morbid affections of the kidney and
numbness in the lower limbs, all of which are
avoided by wearing the California Elastic Truss.
It is not only a perfect retainer, comprising ease
and comfort, but the pressure can be changed to
any degree. It also remains in its proper place
at all times, regardless of the motions of the
body. uid is worn night and day with perfect
ease, it is superior to any of the ElasUc Trusses
now in the market, while it combines me merits
of all. 1st It is easily adjusted on and off with
snaps, doing away with straps and buckles. 2nd
The universal spring between the plates and
pads prevents all irritation, which is a god-send
to the sufferer. 3rd The pad is adjusted on and
off in an instant, and can be changed to any
other size and form most suitable to the case. In
fact it combines every quality essential to comfort
and durability, and is unequaled in lightness,
and elasticity, natural action and artistic finish.
Many of my patients who are afflicted with her
nia are wearing them, and all shall in the future,
for I think the great ease with which these
purely scientific appliances are made efficacious,
is truly wonderfuh You can refer any parties to
me on the subject of their merits.
I remain truly yours,
