Tans, in Harper's Hsgaziue for TKB ITBAHOX 0DE8T- In the latter part of 1778, a little Massachusetts girl sat in the fore room of the low-ceillinged, thick- walled house called the “Harkness ,” playing with and scolding her y of dolls. Submit Harkness was a country girl, had never seen or heard of a blonde-haired, blue-eyed French dol lie, bat she loved and "mothered’ ’ her qneer babies as tenderly as if they had been beantiee; a contented and happy little girl was Submit. Two or three yellow crook-necked squashes with mother’s big apron tied around them, eight large green and white gourds wrapped in flannel, and a half dozen rag babiee, were grouped about their “ mammy.” aa she called herself, while a rudely carved figure of wood, was cuddled in her arms. This was the favorite, and rejoiced in the name of Amanda, Araminta, Arethusa Harknees. Sub mit was 10 years old, and thought by admiring friends to be “an uncommon peart child” Mr. and Mrs. Harkness were ac knowledge^ Tories, and loyal subjects of “meme” England. They believed the Americans to be a wicked and an ungrateful people. They gave their two sons to the Briton’s cause, and had not the father been too old, he also, would have joined the army. Mr. Harkness had gone to Boston to lay in his household supplies, his wife was called to help "set” a neigh bor’s broken arm, and Snbmit was alone with a “long play spell” before her. This house had long been suspected of being a hiding place for British scouts and spies, and was closely watched by the rebels, bnt if such had been the case, Mr. aDd Mrs. Harkness guarded their secret well, aa no traces of the spy scout had been seen by the rebels. “Malvina Arabella, ain’t you ashamed to be a cry in’ b o ? If you keep on you shall be sent to bed with out supper,” and Submit gave one of the gourd babies a vigorous shaking, ‘•and come to mammy, you dear sick lamb, vouhave the small pox, mea seis and mumps, let me give you some gruel,” and the little mother took into her lap a sick squash. “Cicely Alioe, if you make b o much *no'se something bad will come of it, maybe Gen. Washington will get you, then you’ll never see your niamy e again.” Just then there came a knock at the door. Submit opened it to admit a kindly-faced gentleman in civilian’s clothes. “Good afternoon, my little girl,” Said the stranger, and she made her manners with a courtesy of the olden time style. “I have business with yonr father: is he at homo?” “No, sir, and he will not be for some days.” “Are you not afraid to stay alone in these times?” -“Yes, Bir, a little, when I think of that cruel Gen. Washington and his men. Do yon think he would kill a poor little girl if he found her alone, because she prayed every night, God bless old England, and was u Tory?” “God forbid that he should ever do such things," earnestly replied the stranger, “but what makes you think Gsn. Washington is such a bad man? I believe he likes all little girls, even Tory ones, and do not think he would harm anyone.” “Oh, yes, sir, he is a misguided man, and ought to be ashamed of himself for taking up arms against England; mother says so, and .she is always right.” The Btranger talked with Submit about her dollies, and she told him how very ill the squash, or rather Melindy Malviny had been, that Lucindy was growing vain and giddy. An hour slipped by and yet the stranger tarried. “ Would you mind showing me over the house, my child?” said the gentle man. Snbmit was only too oager to show him anything he wanted to see, and hand d in hand they visited every room, even peering into the attic and cellar, the little girl chattering to him of “brother Phillip,” who was with Clin ton, and “lteggie,” whose bravery was a source of pride to the little sister. “Oh, yes, Reginald is a nice name, and do yon see him often. Submit?” “Oh, no; he is in the British army and can not come home. He looks grand in his red coat, even the King has hsard of his bravery.” Submit spread a lunch of ginger bread, cheese and eider, then waited on her guest with the dignity of a matron, all the time talking of her “brother Reggia” Sunset came, the stranger took leave of Submit As he went down the gravel walk he said softly, “ I felt M i f I were the guilty spy. I am al most glad my errand was a bootless one; yet, I have every reason to lie lieve that in the Harkness house foal plots against our cause have I mh > d planned. Home one hereabouts gives valuable information to our foes. That innocent child was so proud of her brother, she would indeed have feared Gen. Washington, bad she known that her gallant 'Reggie' was v ho l sought. Ah, me, cruel indeed are in time of war,” and he ■igbed as he went upon his way. Submit went into the kitchen to clear away the table, and ran into her mother's arms. “Why, Submit, you are heedless, what doss this mean? Who has been here?” Submit told her story. When she spoke of going through the bouse Mrs. Harkness grew pole, caught at the table, ami groaned. “Tell me what he said, every word, and how was he dressed,” bnt she could learn little as to who sod what the stranger was. After an early Fes, Snbmit crept into the great high posted bed, drew arcmnd her the white, dainty curtains, lured a prayer for the safety of King George. and soon fell and might have betrayed me, and Submit did not know o f my being hers.” When Mrs. Harkness had taken away the kindling wood that lay lightly upon him, the handsome lad sat up, his mother threw her arms around him crying, “ Give it all up, my son, give it up. I fear we have been wrong; it must be when good men spy upon each other, ready to send them to doath. How could I have borne to come home from neigh bor Stanley’s and find you had been carried to meet the fate o f a spy ?” Long the mother and son sat think ing, and it was thought Ixjst for “ Reg gie” to give up his dangerous calling, go to England, and stay until bright er days came for the Colonists. A few days came and went. Sub mit played with and scolded the squash and gourd dollies every day after her stint o f work was done One morning a man on horseback left at the gate a parcel then rode away. Mrs. Harkness opened the package, there lay a beautiful doll, resplend'- ent in pink gause, and silver spangles. Pinned upon the dress was a card upon which was written: “ For a little Tory girl, from Gen. Washing ton, who loves all littlo girls.” Submit was first dumb with sur- irise, and feared to touch tho new iollie. A t dinner she said, “ I f I had known, mother, who it was, I should not have let him in, but ran away from him, and to think I asked him if the General killed littlo girls! I am so glad I didn’t know.” “ Yes, it was well you did not know,” and the mother’s heart was glad when she thought of R eggie out upon the ocean, going to the dear old English home, to stay until peace came to America, and that he had not met the death of a spy. Mr. and Mrs. Harkness lived and died loyal to old England. Submit grew up a beautiful girl, and often met Gen. Washington. She learned to admire and revere him. Neither he or she knew that Reggie was bidden in that pile of kindling wood that lay in the empty room, and Reggie grew to love liis new commander, Gen. Washington, and his cause, better than he ever did that of the British. Ho could not re main in England quietly, but came back with sympathy for the poor, struggling Colonists. AN ALLEGED MIRACLE. Mrs. Francis Keyser, who claims to huve been miraculously cured by prayer o f dumbness last Christmas, has received a letter from Richard Huffman, o f Bentleysville, Washing ton County, relating how he has been raised from a cripple's ciu ch by faith. He says that his whole nervous sys tern was paralyzed for three years and that he suffered from hardening of tho spinnl column, brought on by fall whpn he was 13 years old. Six months ago some of tho first physi cians of his connty told him that his infirmities were incurable, and when he visited hospitals tho doctors said that treatment would not avail; his nerves were palsied, his fiosh was oold as marble. A few months later he got hold of a book relating to cures by prayer, written by Miss Car rie Judd, o f Buffulo, N. Y. He was so much struck by its contents that he wrote to her anil proposed that she should pray for him at her weekly prayer meetings. She agreed to do so, and it was arranged that the afflicted man should pray at the same time. In addition to this he resorted for secret prayer to a wood-shed nine miles from his home. After praying for a week he was one night thrown into a sort of stupor, and ho snys that at the moment something told him he would recover. The next morning he crawled out o f tho house, and the further ho went thtf stronger he grew. ,TIe had not gone far b< fore ho wns able to Htaml up. He walked back to the bouse, a distance o f five rods, and up nine steps into the kitchen, tho first time for three years. Hi» sister came out surprised, “ I clasped her hands,” he writes, “ and we both commenced praying and praising God for his wonderful pow er and mercy. I have been leaping and walking and praising ever since.” ------------ ------------------- SHORT-HAND TALKING, Among the common errors in t h e of language are these: The m is pronouncing of unaccented syllables, as terruble. for terrible; the omission of a letter or short syllable, as goin’ forgoin g , and ov'rv for every; and tho running o f words together w ith out giving to every one a separate and distinct pronounci&tion. “ I know u boy whs says, “D on’t wanter,” when he means “ I don’t want to;” “ Whajer say?” when lie means “ What did you say?” nnd “ Where da go*’ ’ instead of “ Where did he g c?” Sometimes you hear “ Uebod” in stead of "if he could;” “ willifercan" instead of “ I will if I can,” nnd “ howjerknow?” for “ how do you know?” And have yon never heard “ ni in” instead o f “ yes" and “ ni ni” instead of “ no?” Let me give you n short converse tion I overheard the other day lie twt>en two pupils of our high school, ami see if yon never heard anything similar to it: ‘ Warejergo lasuight?” “ Hadderskate.” “ Jerfind th’ ice hard’n’ good?" “ Yes; bard'nongh.” “ Jer goerlone?" “ N o; Bill'n Joe wenterlong." “ How late jerstny ?” “ 1’ astnte.” “Lemmeknow whenyergoagin. won- clier?

These lioys write their compositions ! gram > ■ id e a lly , am matically, and f might use good lau and sp teak it distinctly gm * *’ M r if * they try. But they have got into this careless way of speaking and make no effort to get out of it. ubo S A large fish hawk awooped down into the waters at Bayview, N.

T H E M O N G O L IA N S . The Georgia Fruit Growers’ Asso eiation will meet iu Atlanta on the ‘24th of May, and a meeting of unus ual interest is expected. Transjxirta tion companies doing business iu this State and elsewhese are invited to be present, as also are truck farmers and others interested in such matters as will come before the association. The following are some of the subjects se lected for discussion at the meeting: 1. The best shipping crate, as to size, shape, material, etc. 2. Best mode of gathering nnd picking the fruit. 3. Management of fruit trees. 4. Lands best adapted, including ing soil, elevation and e x cu s e . 5. Insect enemies to trees and vines. C Best varieties o f fruits, melons and vegetables for market. 7. Best markets for different vari «ties. 8. Best and cheapest mode and routes of shipping. It is probable that tho Pomolngical Society o f tho county will meet on the 14th. There are about («HI creameries iu the State o f Iowa, and tho yield of butter ih estimated at 100,000,000 pounds per annum. Overfed fowls are likely to shed there feathers. When this occurs re duce the heating diet, give a little fresh meat and enlarge the run.

Chinn nest eggs are probably the best. There ure some breeders who blow out the contents of a shell and fill with plaster o f paris. This hard ens, and they have practically the natural egg. The sewing o f oats with peas for forage is a plan that is becoming pop alar. The advantages of it ure that the oats assist in holding up the peas and both make a good rodder for sheep or swine. They are cut whon the pea is soft and used like hay. I f sown in drills used about two-thirds peas and one-third oats. A telegram from Indian Territory reports that Spiechee, the Creek In dian rebel, having failed to go to Fort Gibson, as he promised Capt. Bates of the United States Army, he would do, the latter arrested him and two of his Chiefs Juekabatch and Harjo. Spiechee’s band then scatter ed, but were pursued by troops and sixty fivo o f them, together with a large number of women and children, captured nnd taken to Fort Gibson. This completely broke up the disaf fected faction, and no further trouble is apprehended from them. In reference to the large opium du ties lately paid at San Francisco, it is stated that before July 1, the dato of tho increased tax, fully $500,000 will be paid in duties on opium imported to this port. A few large houses propose to control the trade and profit by the additional $4 tax. ---------------- » V M ----------------- There are some queer things alxmt boys. Here is Johnny, the son of tender and indulgent parents, who couldn’t eat any breakfast the ether morning because of what ho eon sidered the gross incompetency of the cook. Nothing could suit him— the lieefstenk was cooked too’ much, tlinre was too much saleratus in the biscuits and he sniffed suspicuonsly at the milk, and being assured by his mother that it was good swallowed it under protest Then he went out to play, it being a holiday, and hunted up sorao otlier spirits like himself, and they all set out to enjoy them selves. In pursuance o f n plan then and there formed, one of them went homo and got Bridget to give him some Hour; a second went to a neighboring bakery and bought a yeast cake, and others contributed salt, butter and various other articles of tho sort that seemed to them nee essary. Then they went into a back lot and with a barrel head for a moulding board and a base-ball bat for a rolling pin, prepared a certain nondescript, species of flat cake into which they incorporated all the in gredients which they had managed to purchase, borrow or steal, and they built up an oven o f bricks and built n tire therein and baked the compo sition on the top of an old piece of sheet-iron which they opportunely chanced upon. And when the tLin; wns baked to their liking—they I to pry it off the iron with Bill Thom son's jacknife they all partook thereof with great delight and said it was “ bully” and they wished they had such grub as that at home. And the fastidious Johnny above referred to quite outdid all his companions in voracity nnd loud expressions o f ap proval. ,1 RULES FOR LOVE MAKING. First, catch your lover. Hold him when you have him Don’t let go o f him to catch every new one who comes along. Try to get pretty well acquainted with him before you take him for life. I'nlesH you intend to support him find out whether he earns enough to support yon. Don’t make up your mind he is an nn gel. nn’t palm yourself off on him as one either. Don't let him s|>end his salary on y on ; that right should bo reserved till after marriage. I f you have conscientious scruples agninst marrying a man with a mother, say so in time, that he may get rid of her to oblige yon, or get rid of yon to oblige her, as he thinks best. I f yon object to secret societies and tobacco, it is lietter to come out with yonr objections now than reserve them for certain lectnres hereafter. If yonr lover happens to fancy a certain shade of hair, don't color or bleach to oblige hint. Remember yonr hair Ixdongs to you, and he doesn't. Be very sure it is a man you are in love with, and not with the clothes he wears. Fortune and fashion are both so fickle it is foolish to take a stylish suit for better or worse. There is considerable demand for fine blooded short-horns, as well as other kinds of stock, from countries l»ordering on the Pacific Ocean not ably the Central American States - and good pricee are obtained. The demand is increasing to such nn ex tent that it is now much more profit able to raise good breeds of cattle than at any time heretofore. The very low prices for l>eef the last (Wo years made stick raising an nnprofit able business, and it decline,!. The last year bringing liettcr prices, say eight cents per pound for beet beef carcasses, iias caused a renewed activity in producing cattle. The worst rock on the horizon of the future is the Mongol immigration problem. It is a lee shore reef that cannot be avoided, and we must trust to luck and pluck to steer our ship through its breakers. China has long reached her practical maximum of populousness, and nature has re peatedly removed the surplus by her merciless crorective, epidemic famine. The hunger year following the civil war o f 1863 snbtracted at least 2,000,- 000, the long drought of 187545 about 3,50i),000. In the province of Kiang Hoo, town and whole districts were entirely abandoned. The home gov ernmeut of a country like that could never prevent a mass emigration if the affluent channel had once burst its sluices; they might as well try to stop the exodus from an overstocked ant hill. Another drought or two, another inroad of the West, Tartars, and the least encouragement from the transpacific side, and that exodus would soon become pandemic, and every western breeze would cover our shores with additional legions of an endless Mongolian locust swarm. A war o f races might fail to cure the evils o f such an invasion. Have we a right to prevent them ? Whatever political vicissitudes futurity may nave in store for the United States, it is certain that for centuries to come this country must remain the home of the progressive races; a boat manned with a picked crew, a field to be sown with the winnowed wheat of the old world, an arena sacred to the repub lican principle: “ La carriere ourerte au x talents," What chance beyond the mercy of a coolie slave dealer have the dregs of an East Asiatic despotism in such a country, tho fos ails of a petrified nation in a land of restless progiess? There is no hope for them. The asthenia of the Chi nese race is not tho weakness of in fancy, but the debility of old age. Faculties which are only dormant in other nations have become extinct in their souls; they aro incurious rather than ignorant, slaves without the love of liberty, not cowardly only, blit do void of the instincts which|may stimu late even a craven to heroic deeds, and unmanly to that hopeless degree which begets indifl’eronce to personal shame and personal polution. To praise their industry is making a virtue of dire necessity, for in nn over populated country like theirs death is the inexorable alternative, and the laziness of the wealthy Chi numnn combines the mental sloth of the opulent Turk with the physical indolence of the aristocratic Italian. Their teiror might be ascribed to the paralyzing influence of despotism, but the conclusion that they could be reclaimed by liberty would be wholly gratuitous. Prisoners, not invalids, can be benefited by open gates, and liberty developes vices us well as vir tues. The emancipation from the control of their homo rulers, which developed tho British emigrants’ tal ents for self government nnd indns triul enterprise, gave the sarno free scope to the cruelty and anarchical tendencies of the »Spanish colonist, and would only emancipate tho evil passions of many Oriental nations. The modern Greeks would value our spnrsely settled mountain regions chiefly from a bandit's point of view. Malay emigrants would only run amuck over a larger territory, and their Mongolian neighbors would give free rein to vices which only their abject poverty and the draconic code of their native legislators can now partly restrain. Their standards of human merits are too different from ours to admit of special comparisons, but the fact re mains that during the last 500 years and under the spur of close competi tion for the barest necessities of life, a nation o f 300,000 souls has not ad ded a single important fact to (he store of human knowledge; I ibh not produced a single great poet, philos opher or inventor, nor a social re former, nor even a great military genius; and the fact remains that vices which only reared their heads among the prodigies which presaged the downfall of the most corrupt western nations have flourished in China for centuries like mushrooms in a pestilential swamp, and in their cities, as well as in their remote rural districts, tho ostracism o f public opinion has ceased to be a check on moral infamy of auy kind. A STRANGE ADVENTURE W ITH A DEER. Mr. Kirk Fiddler, who resides near Brucetown, Frederick county, Va., recently captured a fine deer. He says: “ I was standing near the barn, when I saw something come jumping along by the fence, and stop aliout tweuty yards from where I stood. It was panting hard, and looked as if it was almost run down. " I wondered what kind of animal it could I h >, for I had never seen a dt>er before, and so I called Bob, my dog, ami when the creature saw him it j unified the fence and ran in among the sheep. Bob took him, and ran him back to where I was standing, aud just as he was going to jump the fence again, Bob grabbed him by the hind leg and threw him. “ Then I ran tip and caught him around the neck, and called to my wife to bring me a rope, and when she came wu tied its feet and carried it into the smoke house.” The deer had been started the pre vious day on Capon Monutain, thirty- five miles from Brucetown. Mr. Fiddler kept the deer for some time, and afterwavd sold it for a good price. Fanning the sea is very much like cultivating the land It doeen't an swer to take all and give nothing. The oyster growers on the English and French coasts have discovered that they must change their system or exhaust their fisheries. It is found that shells thrown liack into the sea produced thirty or forty fold in oysters in two years. Next July and August many ship load* of oyster shells will be scattered over suitable places for oyster beds, and over the empty shells will be dropped a few live oysters. Within two yean each shell is expected to have from thirty to forty young oysters attached to ii In an interview with Secretary Folger the Preeident assured him that he had the fulleet confidence in his administration of the Treasury Department and desired him to re main A BUZZARD. Friday night was commented upon says the Cooperstown (Dakota) Courier, by many a person seated in comfortable chairs lieside glowing grates as a dreadful one for a person to tie out, a genuine blizzard being itf session, and the mercury fluctuating at from 15 to 20 deg. below zero. Little did the good people of this neighborhood dream that one of the most loved memliers of (heir circle was out iu that tedious storm, ou the rairie, and lost. Such, however, was le fact. While the members of her own household and her many friends hereabouts were enjoying warm fire sides and comfortable lodgings; per fectly unconscious of her perilous predicament. Mrs. G. W. Barnard was battling with (he blizzard, fighting most nobly for a life that is prized dearly in this vicinity, she having be come lost while returning from a near neighbor's home at abeut 4:30 in the afternoon. Her horse, it seems, went astray from the road when within a few roils of ber own house, and in wand ering ’ about overturned the cutter and its brave occupant six times be fore she gave up as lost Though her entire raiment below the waist was drenching wet from the drifting snow she had been floundering in; Mrs. Barnard, with coolness and courage, set about saving herself. Throwing her blankets on the snow, she covered herself with the robes and began rubbing her wet and chilled limbs, first freeing them from tho frozen skirts. Soon the winds of heaven covered her with snow, thus providing her with a covering that assisted her in keeping from freezing. For fourteen terrible hours this courageous woman fought tho ele ments, and to-day is able to lie aliout as usual,her two little fingers being the only parts frozen, and uaving i covered from the nervous prostration of the fearful ordeal brought upon her. Within a short distance o f her home she made her way thither at day break, to astound a loving family who supposed she had passed a pleasant night at Mrs. Washburne’s. Grief and joy commingled in more than one household that Saturday as the story of Mrs. Barnard’s suffering went out. Not one man in fifty, and not one woman in a thousand, could come out of a similar situatiou as little frozen —or with life at all —as did Mrs. Barnard. B Dr. N. 8.

Editora The above 1* a good likeness o f Mrs. Lydia E. Pink- ham, o f Lynn, Mass., who above all other human beings may be truthfully called the “ Dear Friend o f Woman/* as some o f her correspondents love to call her. She Is sealously devoted to her work, which is the outcome o f a life-study, and is obliged to keep six lady assistants, to help her answer tho large correspondence which dally pours in npon her, each bearing its special burden o f suffering, o r jo y at release from It. Her Vegetable Compound is a medicine fo r good and not evil purposes. I havo personally Investigated It and am satisfied o f the truth o f this. On account o f its proven merits, it is recommended and prescribed by the best physicians in tho country. One says t “ It works like a charm and saves much pain. It will cure entirely tho worst form o f falling o f the uterus, Loucorrhoea, irregular and painful Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Intlammatlon and Ulceration, Floodings, all Displacements and the con sequent spinal weakness, and Is especially adapted to the Change o f Life.” It permeatos every portion o f tho system, and gives new life and vigor. It. removes faintness, flatulency, destroys all craving fo r stimulants, and relievos weak ness o f the stomach. It enres Bloating, Headaches, Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness, Depression and Indigestion. That feeling o f hearing down, causing pain, weight and backache, is always permanently cured by its uso. It will at all times, and under all circumstances, act in harmony with tho law that governs the female system. It costs only $1. per bottle or six for $5., aud is sold by druggists. Any advice required as to special cases, and the names o f many who have been restored to perfect health by the use o f the Vegetable Compound, can be obtained by addressing Mrs. P., with stamp fo r reply, at her home In Lynn, Mass. For Kidney Complaint o f either sex this compound is unsurpassed as abundant testimonials show. “ Mrs. Pinkham's Liver Pills,” says ono writer, “ are the beat in the world to r the euro o f Constipation, Rillousness and Torpidity o f the liver. Her Blood Purifier works wonders in its special line and bids fair to equal the Compound In Its popularity. All must respect her as an Angel o f Mercy w hose. ambition is to do good to others.

As soon as it had been tested ami proved by the whole W orld that H op Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprang up and began to steal the notices in wnich the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits o f H .

Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H.

All such pretended remedies or cure«, no matter what their style or name is, and espe cially those with the word “ Hop” or “ Heps” in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counter feits.
