A Danbury young man avo was (im-c a clerk, lately went on a farm to Avork. The first night in his iicav position he was detailed to remove a calf from the apartment of its parent to a shed, and while engaged, as thousands have been before him, in shoving the contrary beast along, the mother reached under the tails of his coat with her horns, and sud denly lifted him up .against the roof of the building with a force that threatened to shatter every bono, in his body. The first thing he did on returning to earth was to rub him self, the m xt thing was to iliroAv up his place. He said he didn't doubt that agriculture Avas a noble pursuit, and that the f .r.ncr needed an assist ant in the discharge of the multifari ous duties, .but he didn't lelieAe the Creator designed him for making skylights in cow-sheds. Marrying; Karl v. iiy i:ev. henry w.u:r beizchek. "When, men and women are of a marriageable ago, "I think it to be, in general, true, that it is wholesome for them to be married. It is not necessary that they should remain single because they stand in poverty; for two can Hac cheaper than one, if they live with discretion, if they live with co-operative zeal, if they live all they ought to live. If the young man is willing to seem poor when he is poor; If the young woman, being poor, is willing to live poorly; If they' arc willing to plant their liAes together like iavo seeds, and Avait for their groAvth, and look for their abundance by and by, when they have fairly earned it, then it is a good thing for them to come carly iuto this partnership. For char acters adapt themselves to each other in the early periods of life far more easily than they do afterwards. They who marry early are like vines growing together, and twining round and ro mil t ac'i otl er; where as, multitudes of those who marry late in life stand side by s.ide like two iron columns, Avhich, being sep ...rated at the beginning, novtr come any nearer to each oilier. Many young men feel that they cannot marry until they can support a wife; ami ly that they mean until they can support a house; yea, until they can live in a house that bonis them; until they can make a uhow: until they can live as their kind of people, the class to which they belong, live for everybody belongs to a class, a set. When they can do these tilings they Avill marry, but not before. And the result is that they are cor rupting life in the very fountain. An I when they marry, they make a great mistake if they say, "Wo will not undertake to keep house; let us board. Then we can have all the comforts of life; wo will have all the appliances provided for us; and we shall be relieved from a thousand cares." There is no school which Cod eA er op.med or permitted to be ope n ed v, hi di young people can so ill af ford to avoid its the school of care and re iponsibility and labor in the house iold; and a young man and young woman, marrying, no matter from what source they came together, no m.tter how hiuh their fathers have s ood, one of the most Avhole so:ne t tings that they can do. having married for love, and Avith discretion, is to 1 : Avilling to begin at t.'ie bot tom, and boar the burdens of house hold life so that they shall have its ed 1 '.it ion. I tell you there are pleasures Avhie'i many young married people miss. I Avould not give up the iirst tvt .cars of my married life for all I have now. I live in a big house, with a brown stone front, and very fairly furnished; but, after all. amo ig the choicest experiences " of my li e wore those which I passed J thro gh in Indiana, when I hired ' two h millers no-stairs; when all my : fur it ire Avars given to me, and was i so. 'odd-hand at that; and v. hen the vo y clothes Avhich I had on my h ic.v had been avoi u by Judge Ilirney b fore me. V.'e were net able to h ie a seiAant. We had to serve o rs Ives. It Avas a study every day Iioav to got along Avith our small means and it a1, as a study never to be forgotten. I oavo many of the pleasures which hnAe run through ray life to be will ing to begin here I Led to begin, and to tight poAerty with love, and to overcome it, and to learn Iioav to live in .service and helpfulness, and in all the thousand ingenuities which love sweetens and makes more and more delightful. C liKJNON. The Editor's Scientific Record in Inny er's April Number of the Maga zine, gives the following information for Chignon weavers: The I'riHsJi JSL-'liviiI .7ornl pub lishes an abstract of an article by Dr. Ijindeman upon the parasite bodies ry iri;d,) found in the false hair and chignons usually worn by ladies. Those grow at the ex tremities of the hair, and form little lumps, visible to the naked eye. Kaeh of these lumps represent:; a colony of about ii ft v psorosi terms, which are originally spherical, but become flattened and discoid by re ciprocal pressure. Under the influ ence of heat and moisturethese swell, and the gangular contents are con verted into little spheres, and tbe-n into pscudonavieelhe, Avhich are little corpuscles having a persistent ex ternal membrane, and inclosing one or two nuclei. These become free, and tloat in the air and ponet'a'e in to the interior of the humane organ ism, reaching the cireulata -y appa ratus, and according to the doctor, producing various meladies, not the lea.-t of which are affections of the heart, Dright's disease, and pulmon ary complaints. Dr. Lindeman re marks, with the exactness of the mathematician, that in a ball-room containing fifty ladies forty-live mil lions of ii;ia icelhe are sot free, and ho urges the propriety of abolishing false hair on this account. A Oeokoia colored lvooum discuss ed the question: "Which is the most useful ; j taper or gun-poAvder?" The debate was closed by a disputant, who spoke as follows: "Mr. President 'Spose dar Avar a bar at the door, and you was to go dar and shako do paper at him, you'd see what de bar would do. But joss shoot a cannon at him and see Avhat comes. I calls for de ques tion." The president forthwith decided in favor of powder. m . Clorvallis has the burglar nnisanor. COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, MRS. liArCHITON'S ;Ilib. 1 Dear me aid ifrs. Ilaughton, as sho bent over a great kettle of simmering quinces, I don't kiioav what we are to do. I can't got such a girl as 1 want for any wages and there is every tiling to be done. Just like Papa, said Fannie, work ing away at a mass of paste that was to appear later in the shape of pies. I don't suppose Papa even remem bered that wo had no girl when ho invited Air. Austin and his cousin." If it Avere only gentlemen, I should not care, but there is a Mrs. Austin. Mamma? Fact my dear. Of course your papa forgot to mention it until" just as he Avas starting for the city this morning, and they will all come Avith him this evening. I ha'e sent Daisy to put the spare room in order, but you know how it will look. She Avill make up the bed on the the floor and put the toilet, service on n. chair, laughed Fannie. I'll try and get a peep at it. Mamma, here comes Uessie Turner. She Aill have to come in here. Tiie visitor, advancing up the gar den walk, did not wait for an i?ivita tion to the kitchen, but came direct ly to the half-opened door. She Avas a small, pretty girl of about twenty two, with a marked air of refinement in her sweet face and the graceful carriage of her slight ligure. Tavo years ago she had driven to call upon Mrs. Ilaughton in her own carriage, but her father's sudden death had revealed the fact that he was deeply in debt, and had left no fortune to his only child. Since that time 1 Jessie had been teaching' in the seminary at 11 , but on th day Fannie Ilaughton suav her from the kitchen AvindoAv, it was certainly school hours. Her knock avus aii SAvcrod by a cheerful " Come in, Ues sie," and she obeyed the summons. Mrs. Ilaughton, she said, soon af ter greeting had been exchanged, I heard you wanted a girl. I do indeed.

Uut avo are expecting company to night, said Fannie. I'll a'. low you to have company somoiimos, Avas the gracious rcplv. Now Miss Ilaughton, I'll lir.i-h the pies, and Bessie took a large apron from her pocket, tied it over her black dress, remoAcd her culls, roll ed ui her sh oves, and took posses sion of the pie board. See what Daisy is doing, Fannie, said her mother; and Fannie went oil. A: soon as sho was gone Mrs. Ilaughton. taking Bessie's face in her kind motherly hands, kissed it softly. Darling, she said, this must not be. I love you, Bessie, as one of my OAvn girls and you must come and let '11s nurse vim Avell again. Y'on shall be my gvest this winter. Yoa are very kind, the girl replied, but von must 'let me have my own wav I do not need nursing, only, rest from constant talking to pupils, and active exercise. I told Dr. Will what I meant to do, and he said it w;is the best medicine in the world for me. Onite a long talk followed, but Mrs. Haughton v,as obliged to viol 1 her point. Bessie Ai;ts resolA'cd to be indei'endent. and saA- no disgrace in honestlv getting her living in a friend's kitchen. That sho had been a good house-keeper in her father's lifetime, all B knew wt 11. and finally her new mistress was persuad ed to'give her the order for the com pany dinner, and leave the kitchen to its new occupant. But Avhen the girl was realy alone, sho certainly acted very strangely, considering her late resolutions. Just as Mrs. Haughton had left her, she had said: We expect Mr. and Mrs. Austin and their cousin, a Mr. Alexander Wight, lately returned from Califor nia. Then she left the kitchen and Bes sie dashed into the buttery and sat down behind the door. O. why didn't I wait? she said, in a half whisper. Aleck Wight at home! What Avill he think to see mo : a servant girl? It was bad enough j to be teaching for a living, but to bo 1 cooking for a living! O. Why didn't j I wait? Wait for what? I am only ' earning my bread. Aleck Wight is j nothing to mo, she said again, in , stern sei f -reproach ; probably he has j forgotten my existence. " j But even as she spoke there arose ; in her memory a picture she would never forget. In a conservatory ! where tinkling fountains cooled the air for choice exotics, a la ly stood' beside a tall, fine looking man; who held her little gloved hand fat in ' r j his OAvn. P.oth were in rich evening j dress, and the house was full of gav guests, Air. lurner having accepted an. invitation to a friend's party in one of the Fifth Avenue palaces. It was the second winter ho had spoilt in New York with P.ossie, and the last winter of his life, lint the couple in the conservatory were not tiunking 01 ileath or the gentleman spoke change, when in a Icav, ear- nest tone: "He never looked at mo to-night," she said to herself ; "but he must see my face some time if he is to stay hero a week. Just at that moment the odor of a cigar came iioating in at the summer house door, and before lessie could escape, a masculine cigar-holder fol lowed the '-Havana'. She had start ed to her feet and the moonlight shone full on her face, as Aleck Wight sprang forAAard crying ; "Dessie Turner ! where have you come from ?"' Uut the girl from the rapturous greetin saving in a cold ioav A Oice: "I am Mrs. Ilaughton's servant, Mr. Wight." "Her her her" stammered the young man. "Her servant girl, working in her kitchen. My father is dead, and m own health prevents my teaching, so I am earning my living in Mrs. Ilaughton's kitchen." She Aas so hard and cold that he looked at her in amazement; but af ter a moment he saw her face quiv ering in the moonlight, and he for got everything save the woman he loved above all other avouk-u, was poor, in sorrow and in trouble. "Jiessie," ho said, and his voice was full of deep feeling, ''Avas it kind to keep all this from mo, knowing that I loved a-ou?

"Aleck will forgive mo iioav for disappointing him." continued his cousin. '-1 had promised you should be at my house to A'-el come him. But it is all right now, I suppose Aleck?"' "All right," v plv. as the emphatic re And so Mrs. Ilaughton lost her girl the same day she engaged iter. T a ill not bind you by any promise Bessie, for you Avill bo .an heiress, Avhile I have still my Avay to make. I sail for San Francisco very soon, and exi'ect to go into business there, but in a few years I shall return. I shall liope that you ya ill not forget me Two v.'tcks later he was gone, and Bessie an or than. Years of struggle for her had been years of success to him. for his un.do Avas dead and had left him a large property and pros perous business. The pride inborn in Bessie's nature had kept her from telling her sad story to one who was not formally engaged to her, and she had learned to think of Aleck as only a good friend. But to meet as she must meet him in a foAv brief hours was a sore strain upon her pride and love. "But this won't got my dinner," she said, suddenly, as the little clock on the kitchen mantel warned her that time was flying. 'If I must be a servant, I will be a good one.' The afternoon train brought the expected guests, ami Bessie,, peeping from her kitchen curtain, saAv the pretty little lady who had been her hostess on the evening already men tioned, and her gray-haired husband, and a tall, broad-shouldered, lieavily beardod young man, who was intro duced to his hostess and very prcttv daughteras 'my cousin. Mr. Wight.' It was not the easiest work in the world, after this, to AAait on the table, and Mrs. Haughton stared . at the demure little waitress, whoso perfect ly cooked viands she was dispensing. Bat nobody noticed her, and dinner passed oil' very quietly, the new ar rivals being full of city gossip for their country friends. As the "girl" stoo l over the dish pan into which two scalding tears had fallen, she thought: "Ho did not even recognize mo." O, Bessie! Bessie! have you for gotten the bright girl Avith golden curls a:id dress of richest blue silk and Avhite laoo, who stood in Mr. Austin's conservatory, that you blame Aleck Wight for not seeing Iter in the pale girl in deep mourn ing, with smooth bands of hair, who waited at Mrs. Haughton! table. In the drawing room was music and laughter, in the kitchen tears and sighs when Mrs. Ilaughton came out to Bessie. "Bessie, dear, said she. leave the dishes and come into the parlor.' 'I'm too tired and hot, 1 Bessie. 'It will vest von." eaueu 1 -t But it is best not. I cant be ser vant and lady too, Mrs.- Haupliton, Don't think 1 am ungrateful, but it is better for me too keep in mv place. "I think so, too" said the lady, "but I do not think we quite agreo as to which is your pW-e. However, you shall have your own way to night. Your dinner was splendid' And the lady returned to her guests while Bessie washed and wip ed plates, cups and dishes, and put all in order. When the last dish Aas in in its place, the last crimh sAvept up, the young girl threw off her apron and went into the garden to try to throw oil' the feverish heat burning in her veins. "I wonder if F am strong enough to go through with it?" she thought as she seated herself in the summer house, and it was not altogether of physical strength sho was so doubtful. Pork Packlaj;. O It is now pretty generally Conced ed that the pork paeking in the West this season Avill aggregate al ior. t oOO 000 head of hogs more tiian last sea son, and tiie average weight will be about five pounds per headlie.ivier. If this should prove to be an accu rate estimate, the West a- i i havo about 8o,(OJ,UOO poaiu.s of mc it and lard more than last your. Tiie east ern markets have taken more hcgi from tiie West this season than ld.it, and the packing there will be increas el to a moderate extent; but it would p.-ohably be safe to assume that the' increase in the packing in the East will not exceed the natural increase in the domestic consumption of the country, and thus it Avill be seen that the surplus over last year for which a market is wanted is the increase iu the packing in the West. To foreign countries we must look for such a market. It Avill be remembered by iluse familiar Avith the trade last ye.4r that the unprecedented! v large tx- ports were looked upon, early in tht season, as an indication that the mar ket would be over stocked and that would eea-e Avhen the summer came; but the ability of the European countries to consume Ioav provisions Avas under estimated and the exports kept well all through the season, nolAvithstanding the material ad varices in prices which occurcd in the summer; so that, although the. exports so far this season show a r.tt-t.-. id increase ovortlie eOi.ei.tnl ing time hist year, it does not neces sarily follow that the for- i n mark t will be thereby overstocked. l ow nn enormously stimu at- i it o et rpon " -"iiption " ' ly of articles ? sed by the workin f . - ..-Oi ...

Should the exports for tho next four weeks continue to exceed those of last year as much as thev have had for the last tAvo weeks, tho o estimated surplus packing over last year will be exhausted.
