THE GAME AT LONG BRANCH.
The wuttH were oyer at Leiand's,
Aod I stood by my chaperon's chair.
Where the breaa oomiog la from tha ocean
jait toyet wlUi the ban of nay hair.
And If ever a mortal was thankful.
It was I that the window was there.
For I own to yon. Hell. I was choking.
And n seemed like the moment of doom;
I had spied him. my faiUKss Tom Hawley,
MaklDKlOTe--dont you thlnk-and to whom
But the heiress of Philpateufs millions.
And the vulgarest thing In the room.
Now. Tom. as yon know. Is too handsome
For anything und-r the run
Yet. I honestly own I had fluted.
But only a little. In fun- .,..
And 'twas clear she was trying to catch him,
If the iniug couiu oe punuuy uuu
I felt Id my bones 'twas all over
The cottage, and Thomas, and bliss
For. of course, 'twas a grand speculation
Which a fellow like Tom wouldn t miss.
But to think. aOer all his palaver.
That he ever could snub me like this.
I cannot describe my emotions.
But it gave my poor heart string a tug;
Then I saw my old chaperon simper.
And up to me whom should she tng
But mat great millionaire from Nevada,
Whose head is ss bald as a jug.
The occasion, you know, proves the hero,
And it came to me just like a flash;
He's been dangling around all the aeaeon
Yh. of course it was dreadfully rash.
But I Jart thought I'd show Mr Thomas
Wow to play. 11 the Rime was for cash.
"Wruld I walk on the breezy veranda?"
"Oh thank you" now. Nell, you can gucsa
How it all came around, and Imagine
That tnnmvnt of chOkiDBT distress
When I said, seeing Tom through the window.
Indeed, sir, you that u why y-e-s.
80 it'i all coming off in October.
I am having my trouaeau from Worth:
H 1 is Dice. Nell, and perfectly solid.
And a man of respectable birib;
But somehow hat is well. I don't know
I'm the wrttchedest girl upon earth.

MY COUSIX PATSEY.
"One of von trirls must sco to her at
once," laitl my mother.
"But, mamma," pleaded Oriana, "I
can't go. I'm in the midst of my post
graduate course at college."
"And I can't gol" breathlessly added
Louise, who had just engaged herself to
young Mr. Leggett, who kept the sta-
fool's paradise of bliss.
"Girls, don't talk such nonsense!" said
my mother, briskly. "Here is your
Cousin Patsey Pounsett sick out in Wis
consin and needing care and companion
- ship. Some one must hasten there."
"Let Flossy go," suggested Oriani.
"Yes." chimed in Louise; "why not
Jlossy?" j
"But Flossy is such a child," said my
. mother in a perturbed voice. "And " j
But here I dropped the cat out of my
lap and rose, trying to look as tall as
possible.
"I am nearly eighteen," said I. "And,
oh, mamma, do let me go to poor rich
old Cousin Patsey, and perhaps she will
make me her heiress."
" "Dear, dear!" said my mother; "what
' can have put such mercenary ideas in
my child's head?"
"But isn't she verv rich?" I questioned .
"She is very eccentric," said my
xflother.
- "Well, then, of course she is rich," I
nodded. "Eccentric old maids always
are. And, oh, it would be such fun, and
I should like to see whet Wieconsin is
like. I suppose they have beais there
and giraffes, and all such wild beasts."
And I ran laughing away after the
kitten,' which had frisked out among ihe
daffodils in the garden; Not, however,
so far but that I could hear my mother
saying: "What a child she is!" And
Oriana answering, with a laugh:
"Ob! let her go! If Cousin Patsey
should take, a fancy to her, it might be
the making of her fortune. Who
knows?"
So they bought me a new dress, re
trimmed my plush hat with cherry satin
ribbon, and sent me on to Wisconsin
witn Urianas new traveling Dag and
mamma's water proof cloak.
X UOU UV? T I. I til. I ClvU LdlSl PUT LU I OU1J
But I quito enjoyed the novelty of the
. situation. . I had my novel to read, my
little basket of fruit and sandwiches to
fall back upon, and all the flitting
.scenery to study from my car window
until getting off at LarJsdale to buy
some oranges which had taken my girl
ish fancy, I mistook the car, and found
myself alone and bewildered, in the
midst of strange faces. '
"iuy oagr x cneu. -uu, 1 leu my
bag right here on the seat, and now it is
gone. And my check was in it, and my
ticket. Oh, dear! oh, dear! what shall I
do?"
And then a tall, pleasant faced young
man came forward. I had seen him
once or twice before, passing through
the train.
"Was it a canvas bag," said he, " with
'O. H. on it? And was there a book and
shawl lying beside it?"
And I answered breathlessly :
"Yes."
"It is in the back car," said he. You
were sitting mere, l tmnK. Allow me
to conduct vou thither. The train is in
motion and it will be difficult to pass
from one car to another."
And thus, to my infinite relief, I found
my treasure undisturbed, and, all for
getful of mamma's many cautions, chat
ted and laughed with my new acquaint
ance all the way to Powder City.
I confided to him that I was going to a
rich cousin, who would probably adopt
me that 1 never had been away from
home before that my name was Flora
Harper thatmy cousin was called Pat
sev Pounsett that I had twenty dollars
in gold in my pocket-book, and a new,
checked silk dress with fourteen little
flounces up the front.
And not until he had put me in a cab
at the Powder City Station and directed
the driver to go to Miss Patsey Pounsett,
on the Cedar road, did I realize how
foolishly and unnecessarily communica
tive I have been.
"Oh, dear!" I thought to myself. "I
hope he's not a burglar or a house
breaker." My Cousin Patsey did not live in a
chateau or a picturesque Swiss cottage.
It was a tumble-down old farm house,
with a stagnant pond in front and two
dismal weeping willows at the back.
She lay very ill in a dirty old parlor,
with a fire of damp logs sulking in the
fire-place, and a general smell of cam
phor about the premises. '
She was an ugly, jellow-faced old
woman, vith a hooked nose, and a mous
tache on her wrinkled upper lip.
"Oh!" said she. "You are M
Mary Har-
per's girl from Down East?"
"Yes," said I faintly, as I looked
around at the uncarpeted floor and mill
dewed walls.
"What can I do for you, Cousin Pat
ajey?" "Yon can take the bellows and blow
up the fire," said the old crone. "And
you can make me some oatmeal gruel.
And to-morrow you can go out and sell
yarbs for me."
"Sell " I hesitated, nncertain wheth
er I had heard aright.
"Yarbs I" screeched the old woman.
"YarbB! Don't you hear me? Catnip;
and penny-rile, and tarragan, and life
everlastin' and sich the garret's full of
'em. That's the way I makes my livin,
sellin' yarbs. And I was mortally 'feared
I'd lose all my custom with the pesky
rheumatiz. But it'B all rigkt, now you've
come."
So this was my Cousin Patsey! This
was the life of rich refinement to which
I had fanoied myself dedicated. I cried
myself to sleep .that night and dreamed
I was a beggar-girl plodding from door
to door.
I was up betimes in the morning to
cook Aunt Patsey's breakfast over the
kitchen stove I, the petted darling of
the household, who had never been al
lowed at home to know a single care
to clean her room and comb out her
tangled white hair. And then, with
many reproaches over my sluggishness
and lack of "faculty," I was sent np
crarret to fill a basket with the little
bunches of dried herbs which were dang
ling from hooks in the beams overhead.
"What am I to do with them, Cousin
Patsey?" said I, feebly.
"Take 'em into town," said Miss Put
sey. "Sell em."
"But where?" pleaded I.
"From door to door, responded my
witch-like cousin. "Go everywhere.
Tell 'em they're Miss Patsey Pounsett's
yarbs. Everybody knows me. iive
cents a bunch for the small ones, ten for
the largest ones. And don't let the
grass grow under your feet, for I've got
to take my hot drink at one o'clock, and
von must be home to fix it for me."
And this was a fashionable career of
which I had dreamed at Powder City.
Well, what was I to do? I could not go
back to the east, for I had not money
enough I couldn't write home, for the
matter of the "yarbs" was too pressing
to admit, in the eyes of Cousin Patsey,
of even a moment's delay.
Moreover, there was the old creature,
sick, alone and in trouble, and I was too
loyal to dream of leaving her. So, with
out more ado, I took the basket, and set
forth on my weary way, blushing if any
shrill-tongued housekeeper derided the
value of my wares.
I sold some herbs enough to bay
Miss Patsey's medicine, and a little
knuokle of veal to boil down into nour
ishing soup and came home, with mud
dy boots, weary limbs, and a consider
ably depreciated valuation of myself.
Cousin Patsey had a great many ques
tions to ask, and appeared to think that
I might have driven a deal more profit
able business if I had chosen. But she
was too feeble and weak, and I pitied
her too much to rebel.
On the third day I chanced to meet
my traveling companion the tall, dark
young man, witn tue origin eyes, wno
had been instrumental in finding my
traveling-bag on my journey. He was
in a store where I had meekly proffered
my wares, and he stepped eagerly for
ward, with a smile of recognition.
"Miss Harper! he exclaimed, offering
his hand,
Do you want any herbs? said I,
with a mischievous twinkle in my eyes.
Catnip, tarragan, feverfew! Only five
a bunch! And quite Iresn and genuine.
"I'll buy the whole basket!" said he.
"No," I said, "that wouldn't be busi
ness. . IJnt if you c noose to select nair a
dozen assorted bunches "
So he bought them with such wonder
ing eyes that I felt myself constrained to
explain.
"My Cousin Patsey isn't rich at all,"
said I. "she earns her living by selling
these herbs. And she is ill and unable
to sell them herself, I am acting as her
proxy."
"xou are a heroine! said he, earn
estly.
. . . a ea -v
A very involuntary one, l answered
sighing and smiling.
When he had gone out of the store,
could not help asking the old woman be
hind the oounter who be was
"It's Mr. Aylmer," she answered
"He's an artist, miss, as paints pictures
and they do say as how he gets dreadf u
big prices for a bit of canvas as big as
you could cover with a dinner plate."
Mr. Aylmer came out to the farm
house to see me the next day. He brought
me a bunch of rhododendrons, and sat
and chatted with Cousin Patsey for
long time. The old crone eyed me keen
ly after he was gone.
"I don't approve of followers as a gen
eral thing," said she, "but I reckon John
Avlmer is a good fellow and I sort o
think, Flora, that he likes you.
"But, Cousin Patsey, he has only seen
me twice before this! cried I, turning
very red.
"That makes no difference," said she,
sharply. "Love don't go by the multi
plication table. I've lived solitary and
alone all my life; but I don't want them
as I m fond of to do the same: It s too
dreary a deal tbo dreary!"
I stayed with Cousin Patsey a month,
doing all the drudgery of her wretehed
home, selling herbs for her, keeping up
a cheerful face through it all, and then
she died died suddenly and alone, in
the dead of night.
They buried her, and I prepared to
return to the east: not, however, until
John Aylmer had made me promise that
if he came for me ir autumn, I would be
his wife.
"We shall be poor, Flossy," he said;
"but love is better than gold
I was sitting in the depot, waiting for
the train, with John talking to me, when
old Mr. Dodge, the white-whiskered law
yer, made ins appearance.
"Miss Flossy " he said, "perhaps you
had batter not go east just yet. There's
a will, you know.and all Miss Pounsett's
property is left to you.
"Oh, yes. Mr. Dodge." said I: "but
only a hovel and a swamp, and Milo
Mears has offered me three hundred dol
lars for it all."
"Yes," said the lawyer, "but the old
chimney blew down this morning, and
there's an iron box under the hearth
stone, containing ten registered one-thousand-dollar
Sacramento bonus made
out in Miss Patsey's name; and of course
they are all yours."
1 looked at John with sparkling eyes.
"So I am an heiress, after all," said I.
"Oh, John dear John I only wish
it was a hundred times as much, bo that
I could lay it all at your feet."
For Miss Pounsett had a deal of the
miserly element in her nature, and had
died in poverty sooner than break in on
her idolized hoard.
And that is how it happens that I am
iving out here in Wisconsin, an artist's
happy wife. And to the end of my days
I shall always love the smell of pepper
mint and rue, boneset and pennyroyal,
Cousin Patsey's treasured "yarbs."
Harvesting and Storing Potatoes.
This month is the time when the
earlier varieties of potatoes should ha
dug. It is a great mistake to allow the
tubers to remain in the cmiind nnt.il
ate in the fall, as the generalitv of farm
ers do. Hence they are exposed to rain
And are liable to rot. or at least to got so
trtorougUIy impregnated with water that
it takes a long time for them to dry and
become in a proper condition for winter
storage. Then the potatoes near the sur
face being exposed to the sun and weath
er.turn groen and are totally unfit for use.
Then after being dug they are often care
lessly left in heaps and exposed to the
aotion of the winds and the snn. it is
not generally known that a potato ex
posed to a keen wind for a length of time
without any sun will greatly injury its
eating qualities. To retain its proper
flavor it should be excluded from the
light as much as possible. For the want
of proper management in harvesting and
storing, a great percentage of the pota
toes in the country are spoiled every
year.
The withering of the stalk tells that
the tubers are fit for the harvest, and
when the soil is dry the potatoes come
from the ground clean and bright; if
gathered in rainy weather much soil ad
heres, which injures both appearance
and consequently the market value. We
have noticed in London markets that
people, especially women, prefer a clean,
bright looking potato.
In digging hilled potatoes a fork or
Eotato hook is easier and faster than a
oe a fork loosens np the dirt, yet
leaves it behind when the potatoes are
drawn out. In drills there is a uniform
depth of planting, and as the potatoes
will be found at about the same, a
plow or potato digger can be used with,
advantage. Plow along each of the rows
to loosen the dirt, then, with the plow
set a little deeper than the seed bed,
plow over the rows to throw them to the
surface. All in sight can be picked up,
and if any be covered a light harrowing
will expose them. They should be gath
ered up and put under shade at once,
for, as we said before, the light turns the
surface green and renders the potato bit
ter and unwholesome. At the same time
they must be spread where the air cau
circulate freely and dry them, lest
moisture in the bin should induce rot.
A cool shed, a barn floor, or a covering
of straw, brush or boards, if the air has
access to them, will any of them answer
the purpose, but don't let a sharp, frosty
wind strike them. It often happens that
a farmer carries his potatoes directly
from the field to the cellar, and they
winter through without harm, yet it i3
risking somewhat considering their lia
bility to disease.
In storing potatoes there is a great
loss in shrinkage from evaporation from
ten to twenty per cent, from the time of
storing till. the following spring, a larger
waste than from any other crop, and
hence, taking it all around, farmers will
make more to sell their potatoes in the
fall than to keep them all winter. Be
cause less evaporation takes place in pits
than in cellars and bins, many prefer
this method. If so, select a dry, sloping
place, or on well-drained land, where
there will be no danger of standing
water. Dig a shallow trench, six or eight
inches deep, four feet wide, and as the
quantity to be protected demands. A
farrow each side this trench is an addi
tional safeguard against moisture. Ridge
up the petatoes about as steep as the roof
of a house; cover with straw sufficient
to keep the fine earth from sifting
through, and over this throw a thin layer
of soil; leave an opaning at the top every
five feet aud insert a stove pipe, or cover
the opening witn a slanting board
to shed the rain. This will allow the
heat to pass off rapidly. When frost
comes remove the ventilators and fill the
openings with a wisp of hay or straw.
When settled cold weather sets in, cover
sufficiently with earth to prevent freez
ing. This trench could be portioned off
with layers of straw and earth so that
the potatoes could be opened up in sec
tions as wanted without exposing the
whole.
If potatoes are intended to be kept in
a cellar, it should be dry and free from
frost, capable of being made perfectly
dark, and of being ventilated quickly'
and thoroughly. In such a cellar pota
toes might lie on the floor in heaps with
out injury; but in the majority of cellars
the floor is no place for them.' Store
rather in bins or barrels raised a foot or
so from the flooor. In bins board parti
tions may separate varieties, and there
may be three or four rows of bins one
above another. There is much less
danger of rot in this arragement, and a
greater opportunity is given to pick
them over in case of disease. However,
temperature is one of the factors in
keeping a potato. The germinating
power of a potato is injured, if not de
stroyed, when exposed to a temperature
below thirty degrees, and it commences
to grow to a temperature above fifty de
grees. Then a cellar that could be kept
within this range, or better still, from
thirty-two to forty-five degrees, ought to
furnish sound potatoes until spring, and
that would sprout freely. A light sprink
ling of lime upon potatoes when stored
is a preventive against rot. Potato rot is
a parasitio fungus, and the lime deetioys
the germ. i aimer s Advocate.
A Wife's Tact.
Alter Having uoen married some
a m
weeks, it came into the head of a young
husband one Sunday, when he had but
little to occupy his mind, to suggest to
his wife that they Bhould plainly and
noneatiy state the fault that each discov
ered in the other since they -had been
man and wife. Afer some hesita
tion the wife agreed to the proposi
tion, but stipulated that the rehearsal
should be made in all sincerity and with
an honest view to the bettering of each
other, as otherwise it would be of no use
to' speak of the faults to which marriage
had opened their eyes. The husband
was of the same mind, and his wife asked
him to begin. He was somewhat reluct
ant, but his wife insisted that he was the
first to propose the matter, and. ai he
was the head of the house, it was his
place to take the lead. Thus urged, he
began the recital, lie said:
"My dear, one of the hrst faults that
I observed in you after we began keep
ing bouse was tnat you neglected the
tinware. My mother always took great
pride in her tinware, and kept it as
bright as a dollar.
"I am glad you have mentioned it,
dear," said the wife blushing a little;
"hereafter you shall see no spot on cup
or pan. Pray proceed.
"I have always observed, said the
husband, that yon nse your dish rags a
ong time without washing them, and
finally throw them away. Now, when at
home, I remember that my mother
always used to wash out her dish rags
when she was done using them, and then
hang them up where they could dry,
ready for the next time she would need
them."
Blushing as before, the young wife
promised to amend this fault.
The husband continued with a most
brmidable list of similar faults, many
more than we have space to enumerate,
when he declared that he could think of
nothing more worthy of mention.
"Now, my dear, he said, "you begin
and tell me all the faults you have dis
covered in me since we have been mar
ried."
The wife sat in silence. Her face
flushed to the temples, and a great lump
came in her throat, which she seemed to
bo striving hard to swallow.
Proceed, my dear: tell me all the
fiults you have discovered in me; uparo
none."
A rial suddenly from her seat the lit-
tie wife burst into tears and throwing
both arms around her husband s neck,
.cried:
"My dear husband, you have not a
fault in the world. If yon have one, my
eyes have been so blinded by my love
for you that so long as we have been
married I have never once observed it.
In my eyes you are perfect, and all that
you uo seems to be done in the best man
ner and just what should be done.
"But, my dear," said the husband, his
lace reddening and his voice growing
husky with emotion, "just think, I have
gone and found all manner of fault with
you. Now do tell me some of my faults;
1 Know I have many ten times as many
as you ever had or ever will have. Let
me hear them."
lnHaoH t . W .1 ZL Z . n I (All TSrt '
you have not a single fault that I cau
see. Whatever you do seems right in
my eyes, and now that I know what a
good-for-nothincr little wretch I am. I
shall at once begin mv work of reform
and try to make myself worthy of you,
"Nonsense, my dear, you know that
sometimes x go away ana leave you
without any wood cut. . I stay up town
when I ought to be at home. I spend
money for drink and oigars when I ought
to bring it home to you. I ,
"No, you don't," cried his wife, "yon
do nothing of the kind. I like to see you
enjoy yourself; I should be unhappy
were you to do otherwise than just ex
actly as you do."
"Lrod bless yau, wife, cried the now
subjugated husband : "from this moment
you have not a fault in the world. In
deed, you never had a fault; 1 was
joking; don't remember a word I said;"
and he kissed away the tears that still
trembled in the little woman's eyes.
.Never again did the husband scru
tinize tinware nor examine the dishrag;
never so much as mentioned one of the
faults he had enumerated; but soon after
tne neignbor women were wont to say:
"It is wonderful how neat Mrs.
keeps everything about her house. Her
tinware is as bright as a new dollar, and
I do believe that she not only washes but
irons her dishrags." And the neighbor
men were heard to say: "What a steady
fellow has got to be of late He
don't spend a dime where be used to
spend dollars, and never can bo kept

Sludy Hours are too lung.
By some mental process that ir beyond
the comprehension of any one who is
not a lunatic, the study hours of children
inmost public schools, are longer than
any mature mind could endure without
harm. Fivo hours is the usual daily
duration of school time. A man might
be eqnal to this for five days in seveD,
but upon the boy or girl is imposed two
or three hours of extra work in the shape
of study at home. It is utterly sense'
less to claim that any child can endure
such mental strain for nine months in
twelve without serious mental injury.
A3 a rule, children do not endure
it ; tney become iretiul, unreason
able and stupid, the quantity of
work oppresses them, but the intel
lectual strain is none the less, and the
consequence is that the public schools
are annually responsible for hundreds of
thousands of weakened minds. Many
teachers know this and some admit it.
but take refuge in the question, "What
can we do?" What they can do is to
condense their text books until the
amount of essential information now im
parted imposes not more than one-half
of the present tax on the memory. They
can improve their methods until the old
fashioned parrot-like recitation is re
placed by a system of questioning that
will interest pupils to such a degree that
lessons will be remembered without ef
fort instead of being forcibly cram died
into the memory as now they are. All
that children really learn in public
schools can be taught' in half the time
now occupied and with half the mental
expenditure now requited; parents and
other private tutors have demonstrated
this so of en that existing public school
methods are beginning to seem inexcus
ably wasteful and disgraceful. N. Y.

Hand shaking. Hand-shaking is Brit
ish. The lounger in society, in his glass
of fashion, enumerates its various styles
as indicative of character. These are
aggressive, supercilious, lymphatic, im
perative, suspicious, sympathetic, emo
tional, but none of these are required by
etiquette. Still, to shake, or, rather, to
take or give a hand in mere conventional
greeting, is a cultivated art of society.
A gentleman cannot take a lady's hand
unless she offers it, and an American
authority on etiquette reminds him that
he must not "pinch or retain it." A
young lady must not offer hers first, or
shake that given her, uniess sho is the
gentleman's friend. A lady should al
ways rise to give her band, and in her
own house she should always offer it in
greeting strangers and friends alike.

With rails of this length the wear at joints

ilyCelery a Cure.
The habitual daily use of this vegetable is
much more bcnellclal to man than most people
im.tKine. The writer, who is familiar witints
virtues, is uctiuainted with many men .and
women who from various causes lutve become
so much affected Uynervousuess that when
they stretched out their hands they shook like
aspen leaves, but by a moderate use of celery
they became as strong in nerve as other
people. We have known others to be cured of
palpitation of the heart. To this we may add
that we received of Mr. Hetnev, of Portland.
Oregon, a bottle of "Celery, Beef and Iron."
By cit? anys-s we state the preparation
called Celery. Iteef and Iron is what it is re
presented to be, absolutely pure, and every
one engaged in labor weakening to the nerves
should use "Celery. Beef and Iron." We And
iuso accoruiug 10 tne formula received, each
bottle is cnmniiil of r.inKicr'u k.,
extract of celery, and Dvronlmsnh.tte nf iron
pyrophosphate of iron
These combined vra
with condensed wine. These combined
pronounce the best known t-en...iv- tr
disorder of the nerves or neuralgia. The
most delicate nerves, even of birds, we give
celery, how much better will it subserve the
wants of the human family ? Prf. B. II. Opeu
