THE HIDDE5 SORROW.
' It was d bitter cold day; tbe streets of
New York were alive with a dense mass
of crowding hnnianity, evercoated.
m riffled and veiled, as became tbose who
: joyously ; braved the penetrating wind
and sharp atmosphere, in the merry
making time between the death of the
old and thskbirtb. of the New Year. -
Kotwitustanding the frosty weather,
the Empire City was never Jin gayer
mood, and np and down, and across the
thronged thoroughfares, stylish turnouts
dashed by to the tinkling musio of silver
tongued bells and low, happy langhter,
- speeding away to the open roads and
snow-clad conntry, lyiag white and still
beyond the hurry and turmoil of the
' great city.
Though so cold without it was warm
enough in the elegant room where we
. were sitting ruy cousin Althea, ber
U half-sister, Mrs. Irene Chester, and I.
My cousin Althea was not young past
thirty, in fact; but she was tbe most
beautiful woman I ever saw, and as she
sat in the large crimson damask chair by
the window, dreamily looking out at the
hurried passers-by, I thought I had
never seen any one so charmingly and
; irresistibly lovely. , Her lustrous black
i eyes, clear olive complexion and glossy
: wealth of purple-black hair, were so perfectly-
perfect that one did not know
which to admire the most, and her voice
i and smile were as sweet and winning as
: her form was graceful and her face
i. matchlessly beautiful., .
' i Howard Tremaine loved her as few
men love their wives; anu . Aithea, as
; everybody knew, idolized her handsome
; husband, and yet somewhere there was a
I hidden sorrow, the nature of which I
: could not for my life divine. I had seen
i the shadow more than once, but the sub-
stance itself is well kept out of view, and
' but for the sad, anxious, restless look
i that often of late crept into Althea'a
' great, soulful eyes, I'd not have thought
sorrow could exist in ner luxurious
; home, much lesn fix itself permanently
1 i there. ' ?
: . . We were going to-the opera in the
evening. Mr. Chester was to attend us
in the absence of Howard, who had gone
! away two or three boars before with
."- three or four mends, who nad, very
; much to his wife's regret, called for him
to accompany them on a little half-hour
or so sleigh-ride out on the .Blooming-
! dale road.
'. ' j As the short winter afternoon wore on,
Althea crew every moment more and
; ! more uneasy; her faith in that "little
j half-hour or so," never having been very
; strong, died utterly, before the sun's last
t cold, golden rays faded in the west; and
when Mrs. Chester ransr for lights, and
' i carelessly remarked that it wss time to
! dress, she was noticeably ill at ease and
; would do nothing but walk to and fro
. between the window and the warm, rosy
; firelight, in that nervous, listening, ex-
; pec taut way which is so painfully sug
; gestive of secret dread and anxiety too
: deep and wretcned lor words.
; 'Whatever Howard Tremaine touched
: turnel to gold and all that money could
' buy his wife possessed. ' Her wardrobe.
i jewels, bouse and carriage were among
; the most superb in iSew xork, yet her
' closet evidently had its skeleton, and to
more than ever before, it seemed
its dry bones in our very ears,
itself felt and seem in every
4, . corner Of ihe millionaires
r umptuJa'home, in spite of all Althea
; could do to keep the unpleasant thing
out of sight. -
i For the twelfth time she walked to the
: window, andi- with a half-suppressed
' sicrh 1 on her lips, stood watching the
; sleighs fly past so long that Mrs. Chester
. lost patience, and exclaim eel. rawer
' Tjetuhtntlv:
'Nonsense, Althea! Why is it that
' you always will be worrying about How
i ard? He is not a baby and no doubt is
! nuite cspable of finding his way home
; : alone, as most men are. Mr. Tremaine
;' knows ; that we are going to the opera
i this evening and will be sure to drop in
before the end of the first act, yon may
, depend. And we must dress, if we wisli
to hear the openintr air in Faust, which
S I certainly do, however it may be with
I yon.". '
Mrs. Chester was one of those positive
' characters who immediately act upon
- what they say, and in less than an hour
: ;: we were on our way to the opera.
S The bouse when we entered was liter-
I !! naMrml with a ninat brilliant and
. i fashionable audience, but Althea seemed
f to kb ova like one in a dream and took
: not the slightest notice of anybody or
1 anything around her.'
I eould not -: make it out at all and
; hardlv dared to look at her for very
. i svmpathv. Her magnificent dress of
' violet velvet and creamy old lace became
i her perfectly, and never did a queen
t carrr herself more royally, or seem
! more unconscious of her beauty and
" grandeur.
; Diamonds a fortune's worth of them
" flashed ob her arms,, neck and bosom.
- j and gleamed like drops of liquid light
; amid the rich abundance of her dusky
hair : but she was not happy.
, i There was much too heavy a sorrow
lvisir nnrestfullT at her heart for that
' too much of nameless dread and anxiety
- : to allow of enjoyment of any sort.
, At the end of the second act a gentle-
man made his war to our box. and asked
in the usual conventional way, after the
: customary greetings were gone through
i with, how we liked the musio. . .
; Mr. Chester, who had been comforta
. J bly dozing in his chair, the whole time,
i declared he was never more charmed en
innocent fabrication which none cared to
i "And where did you leave Mr. Tre
i maine?" inauired Mrs. Chester, in some
; surprise. "He was with you, I think,
! Mr. Richland."
"Yea. and I left hint with the others at
t Delmouico's. I don't Care for that sort
; of thins, vou know," lowering his voice,
; and clancinir furtively at Mrs. Tremaine,
"It makes one feel so confoundedly
' "! vretchod the next day.
Althea was a well schooled woman of
1 the world, and full and unflinchingly she
i met his meaning glance.
i r can't say just how the evening pass
; sd. I only know I was intensely glad
when it was all over with, and we were
home acain.
1 Mr. and Mrs. Chester went at once to
; their apartment, but lingered a moment
i in the parlor with Althea, who seemed in
! no hurry to go' to her room, though it
; was late and the house as still as death
i But as she did not appear inclined to
talk, I kissed her, said good night, and
r went up to my chamber, leaving her
! aione there, like anotner Anaane, sou,
broken-hearted, in the midst ol princely
splendor and untold wealth.
I had barely left the room before the
1 jingle of bells and the clatter of flying
. ,' hoofs in the almost silent street arrested
i i my footsteps.
1 - A sleigh dashed passed and stopped at
, we aoor, as it driven by a wniwwmd.
1 i lhe night was intensely cold, but the
I i ; tired horses were smoking, and their
i i Quivering flanks white with foam and
V frost.. : -
Not caring to see more. I dropped the
- curtain and turned to look at Althea.
a 8he stood like a statue in the middle of
, the room, one hand pressed hard against
her breast, and the other holding close
i about her the rich white opera cloak she
; still wore, with its soft, snowy fringes
1 and swan's down trimmings shimmering
irt tlie fui.i;lp uacertahii fireiight like a
sukoa clitiil,.or one mm gas jet was
binning in UtA deserted parlor when we
entered it, arid even this Althea had turn
ed down so low that it was no wore than
a glimpse of light. t
Unsteady steps sounded on tbe Stairs,
then came the sound of a mufiled fall,
and something like a half-muttered oath,
mingled with the low cry of uncontrolla
ble anguish that burst in voluntarily from
Althea s pale lips. i
"I knew how it would be," she moan
ed. "I knew how those unfeeling crea
tures be calls his friends would bring
him home." ' t - . :
And swiftly and noiselessly as i spirit,
unmindful of her elegant toilet, and the
strangely beanitiful picture she made,
Althea hurried to the assistance of ber
helplessly intoxicated husband.
It was not the first time she had waited
his coming in a pale agony of fear and
dread, not the first time she had heard
that dull, soul sickening fall, not the
first time she had glided down the great
oaken staircase to find her husband
handsome Harry Tremaine lying prone
on the floor, a sight to stir the pity of
the boldest heart, and cause the very an
gels in heaven to weep.i
I could have cried aloud in my unut
terable surprise nd grief, and on my
' knees have begged bim for God's sake to
desist from further breaking the Heart oi

tears help him somehow to regain his
feet, and even in his pitiable weakness
he looked like a fallen god; the noble
head, clear-cut features, the something
indescribable that stamped him a man of
wealth and intellectual lorce, was stm
innmnt thnuch so completely had the
man been gotten the better of by the de
mon that lurks in the wine-cup.
And she Althea ihe look in ber eyes
I'll never forget to my dying day. She
did not sav a word; a kind of dumb de
spair seemed to settle upon her counte
tenance a despair that paled her cheek
to the hue of ashes, and chilled the very
life-blaod in her veins.-
I had seen enough, heaven knows, of
Althea's hidden sorrow, and stole away
to my room, wishing I could believe the
whole miserable scene out a trouoiea
dream, that would vanish with the com
ing of tbe morrow s sun.
Howard did not make bis appearance
at breakfast the next morning.
Althea explained, in a tone of apology,
that Mr. Tremaine ; came in late, and
"was tired."

that Howard was ill taken cold the day
previous, perhaps and advised Althea
to send lor tne lamiiy pnymciau.
Althea. bowever. did not follow ner
sister's advice, but sat all day beside the
sofa where her husband lay. suffering
miserably from the combined tortures of
headache and remorse.
Toward evening be began to "feel
better." and good resolutions began to
shape themselves in his mind, as is otten
tbe case when one's head and conscience
have been for some little time on the
rack. i '
"Althea " he said, drawing her lovely
face down to his and kissing the sweet
month, that trembled beneath his lips in
a way that betokened the near approach
of tears "Althea, I saw a look in your
eyes last night that I cannot quite for

in them again: and I promise you. here
and now. that I will never, so long as I
live, touch a drop of j wine again. It's

the folly and madness that lie in a bottle
of green seal. There! do you believe
me. darling? or do you think me incapa
pable of successfully resisting the spark'
ling temptation that has proved the
ruin the utter and absolute ruin of
unnumbered millions, and blighted and
embittered the lives of more women than
I dare to think of."
'I believe you. Howard, she sobbed
"I must believe yon; for to do otherwise
would kill me. If there was to be no
end do tli iii tt to look forward to but
this how could I endure to live? Oh
if you will but keep yourpromise I shall
be so happy so happy. Howard."

Three years have passed since mat

vow, and I feel quite certain now tnat ne
never will. V
Making Amends.
A dramatist sitting by a friend at a
theater, contrived to extract a handker
chief from his pocket and transfer it to
las own. .Presently a man bemnd mm
tapping him on the shoulder, whispered
"Beg pardon; here's your purse
Didn t know you belonged to the pro
fession: all right!" at the same time
sliuping into the amateur's hand the
purse be had extracted from his pocket.
The story may pass, for although honor
among thieves has no existence, it is
probable that regular practitioners act
on the old principle tnat dog snouid not

we have it on tne authority oi tne vauioi

at a theater in Paris, and found it at his
hotel with a note Tunning: "Sir: I hope
you will excuse me, but I thought I was

Tnfiers with feminine affections do not
always get off so cheaply. A young
clergyman, wise enough to choose well,
but foolish enough to allow himself to be
ruled by his friends after proposing to
young lady, declined to fulfill the en
gagement; and being sued for breach of
promise, was cast in damages ts,uw.
This brought him to his senses. Seeking
the plaintiff, he vowed that he had
behaved infamously, but vowed that he
had loved her all the while and loved her
still, and prayed her to forgive and for
get. "My friends," said he, "can make
no objection now; they cannot say you
are without a penny, since you have
5,000 of your very own." His pleading
proved irresistible, and the lady and
money were soon his own again
Chamber' Journal, i
"Who Bbeaks, Fats." Would yon
know the origin of the proverb: Wb
breaks pays ? - A glazier who was
putting in panes in windows of a great
mansion of Rue des Frouvanes, in 147b,
when Louis XI was King of France
This mansion belonged to Laurent Her
belot. a wealthy grocer of those days,
who had one of the most princely abodes
in Paris. In 1476 Alfonzo V, King of
Portugal, came to Paris to solicit Louis
XI s aid to recover uastuie, wnicn
Ferdinand, son of the King of Aragon
had wrested from him. Afraid that reai
dence in the Bastille would not be agree
able. Louis XI lodged the King of Por
tugal with Laurent Herbelot. This
rich grocer's mansion is still stand
ing at the corner of ; Hue
des Prou varies and Rue St. Honore.
To put the mansion ih through repair for
the King of Portugal a glazier, too, was
summoned. While he was putting panes
into windows of the ground floor a passer
knocked over tbe basket in which the
nanes were and broke several of them
Laurent Herbelot exclaimed to the awk
ward fellow: "Plague take you I You
are the cause that the mansion, which
will to-morrow have the King of Portu
gal for guest, will sot be closed; panes
will be wanting in the windows. , "The
passer, confused by bis awkwardness and
this apostrophe, took; to his heels. The
glazier ran after him, seized him by the
throat, saying: "Halt, my beiuty! don't
run away so fast; settle your diu with
me: who breaks, pays. now mucnr
"Fifteen cents a pane. You broke four.
The jiaaser paid sixty cents. The saying
became popular. . Vintners took a great
fancy to it (drunkards broke many

"Of course," said young Doctor Ded
ling, "a man baa his own fortune to
look to."
"Of course," said Judith Gray; and as
she spoke the words a cold chill seemed
to creep, like slowly congealing ice,
around her whole heart.
"If you had consulted me as to your
affairs," went on the young man, "in
stead of taking this very extraordinary
step, entirely without advice or coun
sel" Yes,' I know." hurriedly interposed
Judith; "but it's all over and past now,
so perhaps we bad better not talk
about it.
Tbe red winter sunset was blazing with
sullen fire above the cedar corpse in the
west, the leafless woods held up their
black arms in a sort of wrestling agony,
toward tbe Bky, as the bleak wind tossed
them to and fro; and a solitary raven
uttered his ominous croak, in the woods
at the back of tbe house.
Dr. Dedling shuddered as he looked
around him and glanced out toward the
dreary swamp that extended toward the
east.
Such a place, said he, "for a woman
to select to live in."
It isn't very cheerful, said Judith;
'but I've lived here all my Hie, you
know." '
The more reason for wanting to get
out of it now," said the doctor im-
patiently. . '
Judith was silent. She looked at the 1
blazing logs on tne oia-iasuionea uranu
and tried to keep back the fast rising
tears. "
Doctor Dedling rose and took up his
hat.
Then I am to consider that our en
gagement is quite at an end?" said the
doctor.
"Yes," said Judith in a low tone.
"I shall always wish von well." said
the doctor, affably.
"I thank youl-said Judith.
"Good-by!" said Doctor Dedling.
"Good-by!" responded Judith.
The next moment she was alone with
the logs, and the cricket chirping on the
hearth and the strange, wierd shadows
that came and went on the wainscoted
walls. :
It was inst a month to-night since they
had buried old Miles Gray out of sight.
Little Judith, who had worn herself out
by taking care of him, had dropped a
few sincere tears on the cheap coffin that
encased his remains, but no one else had
seemed particularly to grieve.
Mrs. Pvtohely. her eldest sister, who
was married to a New York grocer, bad
boldly declared that it was high time the
old man took himself off the stage of
this world, and had made no secret of
her .disappointment when it was dis
covered that a thousand dollars in gold
pieces represented all his horded wealth.
Wltn tne exception oi uie crauuorry
swamp, upon whose dreary verge stood
the house; and this dreary property, by
the terms of the will, was to be divided
between his two nieces. Judith Gray and
Maria Pytchely. as they themselves
might agree.
"I ll take the ready money, said Mrs,
Pytchley, hastily. "What could I do
with three or four miles of cranberry
swamp?
Or what eould Judith do with it,
either ?" said Hobart Pytchley, who sat
whittling a pine stick beside tbe lire.
1 dare say she could manage very
nicely," said Maria. I've heard Uncle
Miles say that he sold sixty dollars worth
of cranberries one year out of the
swamp."
Humph ! grunted Mr. pytchley.
'And thats legal interest on a
thousand dollars, you know," added his
wife. "What do you say. Judith?"
It makes no difference to me," said
Judith, quietly.
It does to me, then I said Mrs.
Pvtchlev. i
"Because, as you know very well,'Ho
bart's business in the city, and we could
do nothing at all with a lot of swamp
land, down here m the backwoods.
So Mrs.. Pytchley had taken tne lion s
share of the old man's bequest, and gone
back to her city home, over Hobart's
errooerv store : and vonng Doctor Ded
ling, who had conndenuy calculated on
at least five hundred dollars, to buy sur
gical instruments and fit up. an office in
the village adjoining five hundred
dollars as the doorway of his bride
elect broke his engagement in a fit of
pique that that Judith should have so
deliberately flung her fortune away.
"A set of harpies !" cried he, with dis
gust.
"Stop. Doctor Dedling!" said Judith,
coloring up. "You forget that you are
speaking of my sister and her husband.
"But they have no business to impose
on you thus ! exclaimed the Doctor.
"I agreed to the plan, without remon
strance.
Doctor Dedling shrugged his shoul
ders.
"In that," said he sharply, "you show
your lack of common sense 1 If you
have no good regard for yourself, you
might have had for me! .
'Was it for money yon wanted me ?"
demanded Judith, stung to tbe quick.
Doctor Dedling eolored and hesitated,
"A man must take moneteary matters
into consideration, said he.
And so it came about that the engage'
ment was canceled, and Judith Gray was
sitting there alone in the wintry twi
light, with clasped haods and head
drooped low upon her breast. -
Doctor Dedling plodded home to the
village, and as he passed the brilliant
windows of the little hostery, he paused,
remembered the bitter cold of the wintry
air, the frosty influence of the breeze,
"I may as well go in and warm my
self." he thought.
Mine host met him with a cheery air.
"Walk in, doctor walk in! said he
"Not that room." as Dedling mechanic'
ally laid his hand upon tbe door knob of
the department be usually entered
"The Railway Committee is a-setting
there. This way. please! ;
"The Railway Committee?" echoed
Dedling. "What Railway Committee?
You don't mean that they're actually
taking any steps about that old idea of a
railwav between here and Glassville?"
"Yes, I do," said the landlord. "It's
a committee of rich capitalists as are
building factories close to the falls; and
they mean to put up rows of tenement
houses all along, and lay down a line of
rails, and don't say I mentioned It, Doc
tor, because I only caugut a snatcn nere
and there, when I was carrying in the
plates, and setting on the fruit, and nuts
and wine bnt it s to go ngnt tnrougn
old Miles Gray's cranberry swamp, the
new railroad is! And the chairman of the
committee is goin' to offer Miss Judith
five thousand dollars in good, clean, hard
money for her share of it!
Doctor Dedling stared. "
"Five thousand dollars!" repeated
be slowly. t ; ':
Could it really be a fact? ; If so and
there seemed very little reason for doubt
ing it what a fatal mistake had he made
in rejecting a bride who could bring the
rioh portion of a "cranberry swamp" as
her wedded dower. If he had known this
half an honr one little half hour ago!
"Don t fret about him. Judith dear
he isn't worth it!" urged honest Marma
duke Redfield, who had stopped on his
way to tbe postoffice to bring a message
to his mother. "He was always a pre
tentions! sort of fellow, all for ontward
show, with a heart like a stone, and
nature as shallow as Deacon Doler's
brook!"
Judith looked up at the clumsy, good
hearted, bard-handed farmer, and won
dered that she had never before noticed
what a true face, and what clear frank
eves he had.
"Forget him. Judith!" pleaded Red
field; and she began seriously to think
that she would at least make the trial.
"Come over to our house, and stay with
mother. Jt'a too bleak and lonesome for
you here for the present, at least spring
will be here time enougn lor you to come
back to the cranberry swamp-P .
Judith Gray looked round at the soli
tary room, and theughtof Mrs. Redfield's
big cozy aitcnen, witn its ongnt coiorea
rag carpet, its windows lined with bloom
ing geraniums, and its shrill voiced
canary bird hanging over the work-table.
"Do you think," she hesitated, "that
your mother would be willing to be
troubled with such a visitor as me ?"
Duke Redfield's face grew radiant.
"Only try hert" said he. "Dear
Judith,' you'd be as welcome, as flowers
in May!" -
And the next day Mrs. Redfield came
over in the old farm carryall to claim her
guest, and the Swamp House was left
V3 its own dreary desolation and the driv
ing snows of January.
k Scarcely . three weeks had elapsed.
when young Doctor Dedling came to the
Redfield farm in" his new gig, with the
old roan horse, that really made quite a
good appearance when you didn't hurry,
and the road was tolerably good, and he
was free from a visitation commonly
known as the "heaves.
"There ain't nobody sick here," said
Julius, the hired man, who was splitting
wood at the side of the house, as he eyed
tbe Doctor rather suspiciously. 1
"No, I know it," said Doctor Dedling;
"but I've called to see Miss Gray.
"Miss Gray ain't noways ailin' as I
know of." persisted Julius, feeling at the
edge of his ax, and still staring hard at
the medical representative oi uiassvuie.
"I haye called," said Doctor Dedling,
with dignitv, "as a friend.
"Oh!" said Julius.
. "Will you be kind enough" to let me
in ?" persisted the Doctor.
" "Taint no use," said Julius, rolling a
prodigious pine knot down from the pile,
and preparing himself for a stupenduous
effort; "there am t nobody at home.
"Nobody at home?" . echoed the
Doctor,
"They've all
gone to church," ex

"Who said
it wa'n't ?" ; retorted
Julius. "They ain't gone to hear sar-

"Our Marmaduke and Miss Judith!"
And down came the ax upon the pine
knot, with a crash that made the man of
medicine start back. i'f

The new railroad was dnlv constructed.
directly across the boggy depth of old
Miles Gray's cranberry swamp, and the
five thousand dollars was placed to Mrs.
Marmakuke Redfield s account in tbe
nearest National bank; and Mrs. Pytch
ley thinks that she has made a mistake
in taking the gold eagles instead of the
cranberry swamp but young Doctor
Dedling thinks his mistake was greater
still.
Thonght He Was Looking Well.
A famous lawyer of Missouri, noted
for his legal learning and classical
scholarship, illustrated by his eccentrio
habits an old .English song:
"The kww ol wealth Is tbe Joes of dirt.
As aagea in all tlmea aasort,

"Billy Campbell," as he was familiarly
called, made much and saved . little
money, for he had no idea of its value.
He indorsed for everybody, and u he
went out into the street -with a pocket
full of change, he would return without
a cent, having given something to every
beggar he met.
One day. the shenu, in reply to Mr,
Campbell's question, "What's the news ?"
said, "Nothing, sir, but this, I am sorry
to say, I had to sell your house and lot

"Oh, that's nothing," answered Camp
bell; "the property is not lost, it has
only changed hands."-
Mr. Campbell was an easy-going back
elor, and had the reputation of being
one of the most slovenly dressed lawyers
in the State. On one occasion, when he
was about leaving home to attend the
Legislature, his sister informed him that
she had packed a dozen new shirts in his
trunk.
"Now. brother," said she, "do be.
more particular about your dress, and
don't forget to put on a clean shirt at
least twice a week; It's very mortifying
to have you go about looking so dirty,
Un his return home at the close ol tne

hearty appearance.
Why. you have grown as Iat as a

" X es. they take good care oi us, ne
replied, "for they are always in want of
some appropriations.". " V
Iiooking into her brother a trunk, and
finding but two shirts, she called out:

A Gold Mink is a Cow. One of the
most remarkable cows on record is the
10th Duchess of Airdrie, owned by the
Hon. Mat. Cochrane, which has just
given birth to her ninth calf, a red
heifer, to be named the 8th Duchess of
Hillhurst, by SJd Duke of Oneida. Of
the 10th Duchess and her daughter's
calves. Mr. Cochrane has sold the follow
ing animals at the prices named: In the
winter of 1875 the bull' calf, 4th Duke of
Hillhurst, at $7000; at public auction in
Toronto, June 10, 1875, the bull calf,
5th Duke of Hillhurst, two months old,
at $8000, and the heifer Airdrie Duchess
5th, eight months old, at $18,000; at
auction sale in Toronto, June 14, 1876,
the cow Airdrie Duchess 2d, at $21,000,
and the heifer Airdrie Duchess 3d, at
$23,600. In August, 1877, privately,
tbe heifer 6th Duchess of Hillhurst,
at $12,000; and at a public sale at Bow
ness, Windermere, England, September
4, 1877, the heifers 3d Duchess and 5th
Duchess of Hillhurst. at 41UU and uu
guineas each, or $20,500 and $21,500 re
spectively; making a total of $131,600 for
tght animals sold. He Has sun in nis
possession. 'besides the 10th Duchess,
Airdrie Duchess 4th, 7th Duke and 7th
and 8th Duchess of Hillhurst, five ani
mals, and had lost four animals by death.
The above result has perhaps never been
equaled by any one animal at the same
age. In December. 1875, an offer of
$25,000 for the 10th Duchess was refused,
and the same for her daughter, Airdrie
Duchess 4th. Since then the old cow has
brought three heifers and one bull; two
of the heifers have been sold ior&5d,ouu.
and there still remain the bull and the
heifer just dropped, . besides the dam.
who will probably breed a number of
calves yet. I Nova Scotian Journal of

How Much to Eat. An American
soldier has daily given him 22 ounces of
bread. 12 ounces of pork or bacon, or zu
ounces of fresh or salt beef, 16 ounces of
potatoes three times a week, 16 ounces of
rice, with 16 ounces of coffee, 2.04
ounces of sugar, 6.4 of a gill of beans, .32
of a gill of vinegar and 9.16 of a gill of
salt. As to the quantity of this food, it
is larger and more abundant than would
seem at signt to be necessary, put sue
signt to do necessary, put sue
liberality in food has this great advan-
tage: anat, in time ui iiaru wora, wxe
fatigue of the individual is diminished
and the power of recuperation sensibly
increased. The total quantity, then,
provided for a soldier of the United
States army is larger than is consumed
by the general wortungman. Uf course,
various conditions of life, climate and
locality have something to do with the
quantity of food. Thus an idle person
can get along very well with 20 ounces of
nitrogenous food (flesh and cereal vege
table food) when, if the same individual
were walkingor in active outdoor life,
double this Quantity . might be used.
Perhaps the Esquimaux represent the
heaviest feeders in the world, for Parry
tells us of a young native who devoured
in the twenty-four hours 9 pounds of
sea-horse, ball raw, hail cooKeu; i,
pounds of bread; ly, pints of good,
strong soup; 1 pounds of ship-bread,
and 9 pints of water, not counting grog
and spirits. ix.

Farewell te the Chrome
There is no mistaking the fact that the
chromo, as a work of art, has had its day
and has now turned iu face to the wall.
Its remarkable green and red effects, its
startling landscapes and lurid sunsets,
its moons which no connoisseur on earth
could distinguish from its suns, its chro
mo yellow and olive green storms, its
wonderf nl flowers and exuberant fruits
with their glaring disregard of nature,
its exaggerated pretensions ; when it
aspired to copy Rembrandt or a Claude
Lorraine, all those memories will soon
be relegated to that unknewn limbo into
which pins and peccadilloes vanish.
xet, tnere was a time when. the chromo
was a welcome guest in every family.
Who does not recall that period in our
country's history when "Wide Awake"
and "f ast Asleep" were let loose on the
community, and hung in a conspicuous
piace in every parlor, to reach by slow
stages the sitting room, the nursery, and
finally the garret? They were pretty and
painty, with an atmosphere of varnish
and a eolor that no sun could fade. Cer
tainly, they were the prettiest of all the
lot, and had the chromotype stopped
with these little daisied cherubs, as a
first and last effort, we would never have
endured nightmares of high colored emo
tion or inflicted this tirade upon our
friends. The mills of the gods ground
out other chromos, however, and they
were worse than the first. They Bent us
much lauded effort. "Mamma is in
Heaven." It represented a red and
white angel, in floating garments, with
corkscrew curls, kept on by a very green
wreath of earthly laurel, and flying on
some sort of a celestial trapeze over the
heads of their impossible good children,
seated in a red and blue row ob an orange
colored sofa. This ran its course, and
was followed by "Vesta the Goddess of
tbe Hearth," : a - lackadaisical young
woman with a long neck, holding in one
hand an ancient oil can, and smiling in
sipidly at nothing. We cannot be too
thankful for the development . of borne
talent which has crowded out the chro
mo, for, even though we grope in a
maze of uncertainty as to the object in
the foreground, whether it is a cow, or a
windmill, or a patent lawn mower, we
are not likely to be struck color blind
while examining it.
And we had never been confronted with
the interrogation:, "Have you had your
chromo taken?" That would, indeed,
have been a calamity, for there would be
even less satisfaction in showing a dead
ancestor, done in chromo, than there is
in bringing out the family group in
daguereotype a presentment that has
no 'likeness to anything in the heavens
above or the earth beneath, i
Yet the chromo brightens as it takes its
flight and we recall the tender solicitude
with which we saw it hung on the parlor
wall, just where the startled light would
strike its glowing canvass and where ad
miring friends gathered in pleased com
ment. Our cup was full.
'How be-a-utiful!"
'Perfectly lovely, isn't it?"
'Just as handsome as an oil paint
ing. -"''.
"Did it cost a great deal?
"Given away, Yes, actually given
away witnout price. xnrown in ior a
year's subscription to the Christian Dis
union."
"Why. how can they afford it?"
The good people had no idea that
thirty thousand copies of this work of
art could be ruled off in a dav and at an
expense of a few cents each. Familiarity
with the artist's methods would certainly
have bred contempt. -

this fearfnl comparison won the ease.
Farewell to the chromo. It takes its
beak from out our hearts and its form
from off our doors and we may imagine
that it takes the solitude of some distant
Plutonian shore, but. at least, we can

Paul Bartlett, the son of the sculptor.
is a lad of great promise. He is fifteen
years old, and has been living for sev
eral years with his motner and grand
mother, near I'aris. He showed no par
ticular inclination for art until he was
twelve year's old. but lived a happy boy
life, apt in his studies and devoted to hi
pet animals. His lather believed in al
lowing him the full vent of his own in
dividuality, and left him to develop in
bis own way. lie suowea a particular
talent for languages, and became so pro
ficient in Latin that he could talk it
fluently, as well as read and write it.
One day he came to his father's studio
and said he would like to model some
thing. So he began modelling bis doves,
rabbits and other animals, making rapid
progress until early this last spring,
when he attempted his first head. '
He started a bust of his grandmother.
an old lady, and when it was well along
he asked Fremiet, who is a near neigh
bor of the family, to look at it. Fremiet
was highly pleased with it, and from
time to time after that gave the boy some
practical hints in the principles of. sculp
ture. As the time for the salon ap
proached, Master Paul took the bust un
der his arm and went into rang with it,
leaving it with the thousands of other
works for tne action ol tbe august jury,

This being the case, the absurdity of all

the submerged system the butter globules
neither adhere nor oxidize, and tne gases,
if any arise, meet with no obstruction, as
the same microscopic examination proves,
and are condensed and carried off in the
surrounding water. ' So long as the milk

How Em Got the Kjotle. Bishop
Selwyn was a benevolent and kindly
spoken man, as well as a great and
famous one. : He interested ' himself
much in the poor, especially in miners.
One day, coining on a company of the
latter, he heard them talking in a very
animated way, so loudly that be said to
them: "My friends, something seems to
interest you all very much; I heard your
voices quite in the distance; may I in
quire what His? To which they re
plied: "You see that copper kettle there?
We found it, and were just saying that
the one who could tell the biggest lie
should have it." "Oh, said the Bishop,
"I am sorry for that; I hope you will
never again tell lies. Tis a fearful
habit, and so unmanly. Why, I never
told a lie in my life. Whereupon, the
miners shouted in one breath: "Give the
governor the tea-kettle."

Capt. Ingall'g Story.
Yesterday morning : our reporter
learned that Capt. M. D. Ingalls, of
the . schooner Chalcedony, lying at
Rumery'a whaif, had actually seen the
big "sea-serpent," off Monhegan island;
a few days ago. The hardy mariner
grinned a little when the reporter told
him he had come to interview him about
the big snake he was reported to have
lately seen, but asserted the story was
not far from the truth. The captain then
went on to tell about the strange thing
he recently saw, substantially as follows:
"Last Saturday, about 1 o clock in tbe
afternoon, we were slowly sailing past
Monhegan, there being very little wind,
bout twenty miles southwest of the
island, when we caught sight of what
looked like a large schooner floating
bottom up. . As the 'object lay almost
dead ahead, we made directly for it,
but before we got very close a Cape Ann
schooner lay to and sent a boat's orew to
inspect what now plainly appeared to be
a monstrous carcass of some species or
other. We finally hove to, about a ship's
length off, and took a leisurely survey
of the thingl It was dead; and floated
on the water with its belly, of a dirt
brown color, up. Its head was at least
twenty feet long, and about ten feet
through iat the thickest point. About
midway pf the body, which was, I should
guess, about forty feet long, were two
fins of ai clear white, each about 12 feet
in length. The body seemed to taper
from tutj back of the head down to the
size of a small log, distinct from the
whale tribe, as tbe end had nothing that
looked like a fluke. The shape of the
creature's head was more like a tierce
than anything I can liken it to. I have
seen almost all kinds of shapes tnat can
be found in these waters, but never saw
the like of this before. Two years ago,
offSeguin, I saw shooting through tbe
water a thing which, I think, resembled
this creature considerably, but I didn't
get close enough to it to say for certain.
The men from the Cape Ann schooner
got on the dead creature, and one of the
boys cut a double Bhuffle on its belly,
which for all the world looked like the
bottom of a schooner covered with
barnacles and seaweed by the weather.
We shouhl have towed the thing to Port
land had there been any wind, but as
tnere wasn t, we steered away aud leit it,
What sort of a sea monster this was
cannot say for sure, but in my opinion
it was the original sea serpent which has
been seen once in a while for years past,
and which, when alive, was too swift i
swimmer for any sailing vessel to get
along side. Portland Me.) Argus.

"Yes, we are going to draw the $80,000
prize, and if we do then we all agreed to
give you $5000 of it for the new church

A country preacher pictured the horri
ble torments awaiting those who yielded
to the weaknesses of tbe flesh bo vividly
that many persons in his congregation '
gave way to emotions of alarm. A pallor

the effect which he had produced, the
worthy parson leaned over his pulpit and
said: "I exaggerate a little, my bearsre, I
exaggerate."
At a protracted meeting one of the
hardest families in the neighborhood, by

of half-a-dozen much-needed conversions:

This inane old Ransom mad. He took
it as a personal insult, got up from his
knees and took bis bedraggled better-half
by the arm, saying aloud: "Come on, old
woman, they don't want the like of us
here ; come on, boys and gals," and led the
whole tribe out of church in flaming dud
geon. An exchange says: One day last winter
a bright little boy, whose parents lived on
Main street, near Church street, asked his
mother what building that was, pointing
to the church. She answered, "Christ
church." A few days later, when the lit
tle fellow tumbled out of bed in the morn
ing there had been a fall of snow, and the
sexton of the Christ church was just com
ing out of the church door with a shovel.
The boy with a veil ot delight cried out,
"Oh, mamma. llere't airint." The mother
astonished, said, "Naughty boy! What
do you mean?" "Christ!" answered the
child excitedly. "Don't you see Him?
He has just come out of His church to
shovel off the snow."
Boston has a wealthy citizen of very
liberal disposition. Although belonging
to no particular religious Beet., he has al
ways hitherto been found reedy to con
tribute to the carrying out of spiritual
schemes requiring money. Not long ago,
however, he happened to have a business
transaction with one of the deacons of a
certain church, and the deacon got quite
six to four the best of him. A few days
afterward the pastor of the same church
called on the merchant for a subscription
toward his schools, but to his surprise the
amiable capitalist pushed the subscription
book aside with tbe abrupt remark.
"Played out." "Dear me," said the sur
prised parson, "1 really counted on you
Mr. K ; you have always been so lib
eral that I was in hopes you would bead
tbe subscription list." "I am done," said
the merchant. "I have changed my
mind. I don't think half the people go to
the lower regions that ought to."

the leading business men of Portland are
all young, and people from the East are
surprised at the energy displayed. One
firm is particular, which is composed of
young men, has been attended by pros

establishment that would reflect great
credit upon any of the old New England
cities, and that firm is Thompson, De
Hart & Co., dealers in Hardware, timber,
etc. Their store runs through the block
from Front to First street and fronts on
Salmon the entire length. For years
their patronage has steadily increased
until it now rolls up into the hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually and they
find themselves even with their immense
store crowded to unpleasantness. In or
der to give more room for the transaction
of business they have just completed a
new dock and a 100 foot square ware
bouse back of the National Hotel. AU
the heavy articles of machinery, iron and
timbers wiH be stored therein, thereby
giving space for the additional stock just
received. .Farmers will find it to their
