The Old Man* Drcnm.J O, for one hour of youthful joyl Give back my twentieth spring! I'd rather laugh a bright-haired boy Thau reign a gray-haired king. Off with the wrinkled spoils of ago; Away with learning's crown; Tear out life's wisdom written page And cast its trophies down. One moment, let my life blood c’ .reaux From boyhood's fount ot fame; Give me one giddy, reeling dream Ol life, aud love, and fame. IIy listening angel heard the prayer. And, calmly smiling, said: "If I but touch thy silvered hair Thy hasty wish had sped. “But is there nothing in the track To bid thee fondly stay, While the swilt seasons hurry back To hud the wislied-for day?’* Ah. truest soul of woman kind. Without thee what were lile? One bliss I cannot leave behind— I'll take my precious wife. The angel took a sapphire pen Aud wrote in rainbow hue, “The man would l»e a boy again, Aud be a husband too. ; “And is there nothing yet unsaid, Before the change appears? Remember all thy gifts have fled With these desolving years.” “Why, yes, I would one favor more? My fond paterunl joys— I could uot bear to lose them all; I'll take my girls and boys.” The smiling angel dropped hia pen, “Why, this will never do; The man would be a boy again. And be a lather too!” And so 1 laughed. My laughter woke The household with its noise, I wroto my dream when morning broke. To please my girls and boys. Oliver Wendell Halma, Aut«..,iiKE WITH A SHARK. Paul Boynton, the famous diver, is writing sketches of life beneath the waves for the G’en//earn h ’s Magazine id London. In one of his articles he tells the following story of a rather uncom- fortable experience: 1 was down on a nasty rock bottom. A man never feels computable in one of them; he can’t tell what big crea- ture maybe hiding under the huge quarter-deck sea leaves which grow there. The first part of the time I was . visited by a porcupine lisli. which kept sticking its quills up and bobbing in front of my liemlct. Soon after I saw a big shadow fall across me, and look- ing up there was a shark play ingaboiit my tubing. It makes you f« « l chilly in the back when they’re about, lie came down to me slick as 1 looked up. I made at him aud lie sheared off. For an hour he worked at it, until he could stand it no longer. If you keep your head level it’s all right, andj your e pretty safe if they’re not on you sharp. This ugly brute was twenty b et long,I should think, for when J laydown on | the bottom, lie stretched a consider- I able way ahead of me, ami 1 could see . him beyond my feet. Then I waited. They must turn over to bite, and my : lying down bothered him. He swam j over me three or four times, aud then skulked off to a big thicket of seaweed ; to consider. I knew he’d come back when he settled his mind. It seemed a long time waiting for him. At last he came viciously over me, but, like the time before, too far from my arms. The next time I had my chance, and ripped him with my knife as neatly as I could. A shark always remembers he’s got business somewhere else when he’s cut, so on this fellow goes. It is a curious thing too, that all the sharks about will follow in the trail he leaves, i I got on my hands ami knees, and as | be swam off 1 noticed four shadows | slip after him. 1 saw no more that time. They did not like mv company. By-Gone Days. We were conversing with a well-known gentleman not long since, and among other things that he spoke of, he referred to the fact of his having just returned from the home of his youth—the country home where he passed the first eighteen years of his life. lb; said: “ Everything that 1 once knew so well 1 found changed by time: the lit lie stream near the old house: the hillside where in youth I played: the obi rustic gate, now hanging to its posts half decayed ami broken: and the familiar trees even seemed to have grown grayer, and their once erect forms hail become bent and tottering. When I stood in silence, con- templating the change, it seemed as if I should hear every moment the laugh of a sister or the well-known call of my mother both of whom had long since gone to that land from whence no traveller returns.” How many of us have the same feelings? Often in those calm moments of thought: when the cares of the world are laid aside, how these memories of “ by-gone days” will arise and cause the tear to start in spite of ourself. It is a sad recollection— that of those dear relatives and friends of our youth who have long since gone from us. The heart fondly turns to those fust attachments, and even in old age tries to recall each well-remembered look and the words of the “ dear departed ” more vivid- ly to mind. In looking hack through these interven- ing years, how very little expression of those we knew when life was young will arise, and we find ourselves saying within our hearts. Oh! what would we not give for one look or one word from those who were our playmates and schoolmates and those still dearer in the “ old home.” These musings upon the mutability of this life, and the great “ Hereafter” to which we are so rapidly passing should ex- ert a softening aud beneficial effect upon our lives aud characters, and make us letter men and women. The Gardiner Reporter has the follow- in" cool items: Halley & Johnson have their houses full of excellent ice. The Eastern lee Co. (formerly Kennebec & Boston) with houses nearly opposite Hr. Underwood’s in Richmond, have com- menced filling up. Lewiston parties have formed a new company and commenced operation next to the Lincoln Co. Rich finished filling his houses in Farmingdale Feb. 1. He has some 40,000 tons stored, the most of it already sold by contract. The Dresden Ice Co. commenced filling their houses Jan. 31. They have some ice already on hand, hilt have room for some .3000 tons more, and a fine field of ice. Air. Geo. E. Weeks of Augusta is filling his bouses down river. The Lincoln Ice Co. are also busy filling up their houses. Workmen commened Jan. 31 running ice into the Sturgis ice houses at Pittston. The Pendleton Bros., are preparing to build a 1500 ton ship in Searsport. IfJll MIGHT I-.X'LCUTIONllIt. The revolting scenes accompanying tlie execution ot several criminals in tliis vicinity tire well calculated to bring to public notice the disadvan- tages of hanging as a mode for capital punishment. The teachings of Science are heeded and sought for in the building of prisons, in the management and caro of convicts, and in every modern cor- rectional system; and yet in so simple aud casv a process as the extinguish- ing of human life, they are utterly ignored. The most certain and painless death known to Science is caused by the lightning stroke, or by, what amounts to tlie same tiling, the electric shock. When a powerful discharge of electric- ity is received in tlie body, existence simply stops, and tlie reason is obvi- ous. Helmholtz lias proved that, for any vibration which results in sensa- tion to reach the brain through tlie nerves, one tenth of a second of time is required. Furthermore, tim e is also needed for tlie molecules of tlie bruin to arrange themselves through the effect of tiiat vibration, through the motions and positions necessary to the completion of consciousness, and for this an additional period of one tenth of a second is expended. Consequently, if, for example, we prick our linger withn pin, it takes two tenths of a second for us to feel and recognize tlie hurt. It can easily be conceived, therefore, that if tin injury is inflicted which instantly unfits the nerves to transmit tlie mo- tion which results in sensation, or if the animating power is suddenly sus- pended by an injury to tlie bruin be- fore tiie latter completes conscious- ness, then death inevitably follows with no intervention of sensibility whatever. Now a rifle bullet, which traverses the brain in the one thousandth of a second, manifestly must cause this instant stoppage of existence, and proof of this is found in tlie placid faces of tlie dead, and in tlie fact that there is nothing more common than to find men lying dead on battlefields, shot through the brain, but with every member stiffened in the exact position ii was in when the bullet did ils work. But a riile ball is slow beside the elec- tric shock.’ l’cr.-isteiiee of vision im - presses a lightning Hash on the retina for one sixth of a second, but itsaetual duration is barely one hundred thou- sandth of a second. The effect of the shock outlie sys- tem is excellently described by Pro- fessor Tyndall, who, while lecturing before a large audience, inadvertently touched tlie wire leading from 15 charged Leyden jars, and received tlie whole discharge through his body- Luckily tlie sleek was not powerful enough to be fatal; but as the lec- turer regained his senses, lie exper- ienced tlie astonishing sensation of all liis members being separate aud gradually fastening themselves to- gether. lie says, however, that “life was blotted out for a sensible inter- val,” and liedwells with much stress upon the opinion tiiat “there cannot be a doubt that, to a person struck by lightning, the passage from lire to death occurs without consciousness being in tlie least degree implieated. It'is an abrupt stoppage of sensation, unaccompanied lya pang.” So much fort.be dentil which, by suitable alter- ation of tlie law, we would have sub- stituted for slow strangulation. Tlie next point is its practical accomplish- Instead of building a gallows and providing rope, tlie sheriff, advised by a competent clcciriean, would pro- cure a powerful lliihinkorff coil and a heavy battery. These instruments would rarely need replacing, and would last indefinitely for other exe- cutions. Tlie battery and eoil should be of sufficient strength to deliver an eighteen inch spark. In case of their being more than one person to be executed, till of the condemned would lie conducted with all due cere- money to tlie place of execution, the left hand of one man handcuffed to the right hand of liis neighbor, and lie- conducting wire fastened to brace - lets on tlie di.-engaged wrists of both criminals, if only twoare to lie hanged, or to tlie wrists of the outer men, if more than that mini her arc to suffer. The culprits being seated so as to lie seen by the legal witnesses, iheslieriff presses a button. Tlie current is in- stantly established from tlie coil, passes through tlie bodies of tlie men, and all is over, \\ ith a com- petent electrical!, who might lie a member of the p-olice force, and spe - cially charged witli the duty, there would be no possibility of mistakes. Tlie same ignominy which attaches to the gallows would be transferred to this mode of destruction, while the peculiar death by lightning, which, among lie* ignorant of all nations and ages, lias been the subject of profound superstition, would without doubt, through its very incomprehensibility ami mystery, imbue the uneducated masses with a deeper horror. WOMEN BARlJERS. Sometimes tlie best Japanese bar- bers are women. As in a Japanese family tlie shaving of the children’s heads is a regular duty, as imperative- ly customary as the Saturday night’s general ablutions are among families where Sabbatli and Sunday schools are old institutions, so nearly all Japanese women acquire a deftness and delicacy of tact witli tlie razor that rival professional touch and skill. The girls and boys are not considered dressed or perfectly clean until their scalps in the chosen portions are per- fectly poiislied. Tlie male barbers of the period ale stout conservatives, resisting wordily tlie foreign custom of tlie hairy foreigners who wear beards, mustaches and full heads of hair. SOME OI.D DUTCH PROVERBS. We must row with the oars we have, and, as we cannot order tlie wind we areoblig ' to sail witli, must bake tho wind tiiat ;s. Patience and atten- tion will bring us far. If Hie eat watches long enough at the mouse’s hole the mouse will not escape. The plowman must go up and down, and wherever else play be done there is no other but the long way to do the work well. Learn to sleep with one eye open. As soon as the chicken goes to roost it is a good time for a fox. Fools ask what time it is, but tlie wise kuow their time. OLD IJUCItOW. SELF-MADE MEN. Take the history of most of the prominent men of this country, and it will he seen that they are what is called self-made. They were not born to wealth nor position, hut by their abilities and persistence they gained one, perhapfe both. Andrew Johnson was essentially a I self-made man. .lie came ol' very 1 poor parents, in humble life, and en- joyed no educational advantages. While working as an apprentice in a tailor’s shop ho learned to read, and after he was married his wife institu t- ed him in writing and ciphering. Ho was possessed of ability aud persist- ence, and rose gradually to a iiigh place in tlie nation’s councils. Cornelius Vanderbilt, of New York, who is worth his millions, began life as a boatman. He owned liis own boat when eighteen, and navigated it liimself. Honest, enterprising, and , energetic, lie lias risen to be one of I tlie richest men in this country, and is universally respected for liis good , qualities. [ George Peabody, who was also ono of the richest men in America, was j born of poor parents, at Danvers, ; Mass. All bis early life was passed . as a clerk in a grocery store. His immense fortune was accumulated as a banker, and was liberal of his means, j giving away millions. From a very humble, small-beginning, he accumu- lated a fortune of $30,0110,000. Henry Wilson’s beginning was as humble as that of Andrew Johnson. From a farm boy he became a shoe maker, and gradually rose to be Vice- i President. He was possessed of energy and ambition, two qualities which pushed him forward. Horace Greeley, who ranked with the best American journalists, was a poor farm boy. From tlie farm lie went to tlie printing office, and, step I by step, rose to be one of the most eminent journalists in America. l’eter Cooper, the great philanthro- pistofNew York, is a self-made m ail. He was apprenticed in youth to a coachmaker. He did not remain at the trade, hut took to manufacturing articles, among which was glue. Ho expended several millions in founding tlie Cooper Institute, where pupils call obtain free instruction ill several branches. There is no man more honored in New York, ami deservedly so, than old l’eter Cooper. <s T h ese are a few of tho self-made men ol'America; and their example should insi'ire our youth to be indus- trious, persistent, and enterprising, for these were among tlie qualities by which tlie characters we have been contemplating rose to eminence— the rounds on which they climb to success. When Bernard’s hippodramatie speelueleof “St. George and the Drag- on” was produced at Drury Lane, under the superintendence of Duerow, who hod acquired great experience in the arrangement of equestrian caval- cades, pageants, and tableaux, there was a great deal of trouble with tho ’Supernumeraries, who were not accus- tomed to doing their business in the manner expected from them by so accomplished a pantomimist as the lessee of A s t l e y ’s . W hile the scene | was being rehearsed ill which the peo- ple appear excitedly before the Egyp- tian king, witli the news of tliedevasta- I tion mid dismay caused by the dragon. | tiie “supers!’ exhausted Ducrow’s not I very large stock of patience, and, after making them go through their busi- ness two or three times, without any improvement, ids temper burst out, in ins characteristic manner. “Look here, you fools!” lie exclaimed. .'You should riisli up to tlie King— I that cliap there-and say,'Old fellow, the dragon has come, and we are in a mess, and you must get us out of it,’ The King says,-‘Go to Brougham,’and ’ you all go off to Brougham; and he says, ‘What the devil do I know about ■tlie dragon? Go to your gods,’ and 1your gods is that lump of tow burning on Hint block of timber.” This strange address was accompanied by an exhibition of tlie pantomihiie skill 1of which Duerow possessed a greater degree than any man of liis day, and J which was intended to impress tho subordinate actors and supernunier- i aries of the theatre with a correct idea of tlie manner in which their business 1should be performed. This was Da- rrow’s manner on all occasions. Ono morning during tin' season of 1833 lie was on Hie stage in liis dressing-gown . and slippers to witness tiie first re- I liearsal of a new feat by tlie German rope-walker, Cline. Tlie rope was ! I stretched from tiie stage to tiie gal- j lery, and the perfumer was to ascend ' it and return. Cline was a little tier- I vous; perhaps the lope had been ar- ; ranged more in accordance with Du- erow’s ideas than witli liis own. W hat- ever tlie cause, in* hesitated to ascend tlie rope, when Duerow snatched i the balancing-pole from liis hands j and walked up the rope in liis slip- pers, his dressing-gown Happing about his legs in tlie draught from the stage ina manner tiiat caused liis ascent to [ i be watched With no small amount of | anxiety, though lie did not appear to feel tlie slightest trepidation himself. —Circus Life. TWINS WITH ASSOCIATION OF I OEAS. In illustration of the extremely close re.-emblancc between certain twins is tlie similarity in t he u.-sociatiou of their ideas. No less than eleven out ol' thirty-live eases testify to this. They make the same remarks on tlie same occasion, begin singing the same song I ! at tlie same moment., mid so on; or 1 one would commence a sentence, ami tiie other would finish it. An obser- vant friend graphically described to me tho effect, produced upon her by two such twins, whom she met easu- ■ally. She said: “Their teeth grew alike, they spoke alike and together, ■and said tlie same tilings, and seemed just like one person.” One of tlie most curious anecdotes that 1 have received concerning this similarity of ideas was tiiat one twin A, who hap- pened to be at a town in Scotland, bought a set of champagne glasses which eaught his attention, as a sur- prise for his brother B; while, at tlie ! same time, B being in England, bought a set ol' precisely Hie same pattern as a surprise for A. Other anecdotes of alike kind have reached me about these twins.- Fraser's jffay- azii"'. __________________ __________ THE 111 RATION OF LIFE. In ancient Bourn, during the period between 206 and 206 A. D., Hie aver- age duration of life among tin; upper , classes was thirty years. In tlie pres- ent century, among the same class of j people, it amounts to fifty yeilrs. In I tlie sixteenth century the mean dura- lien of life in Geneva was 21.21 years, I be 7C0J1 1833 a u d 1811 it was 10.08 years, and at tiie present time as many people live to seventy years of age as three hundred years ago lived to the age of forty-three, In tlie year 1093 tlie British Government borrowed money, the amount borrowed to be paid in annuities, on the basis of tlie mean duration of life at tiiat time. Tlie State Treasury made thereby a good bargain, and all parlies to the bargain were satisfied. Ninety-seven years later l’itt established another tontine or annuity company, based on tlie presumption that the mortality would remain the same as a hundred years before. But in this instance it transpired tiiat the Government had made a had bargain, since, while in tlie first tontine 10,000 persons of each sex died under Hie age of twenty- eight, a liiunlred years later only 5,772 males and it,310 females died under this age. From this fact it appears tiiat life, under certain favorable in- fluences, has gained in many, and probably, in all its forms and mani- festations, both in vigor and dura- ti” »- ___________ _____ According to “Tlie Wreck Register and Chart for 1873-1,” issued by tlie British Life-boat Institution, it ap- pears that there were 500 lives lost from wreck, casualties, and collisions on or near the eoasts of the United Kingdom. The fleet of tiie association, consisting of 250 life-boats, saved 713 ives from various shipwrecks. STALE NONSENSE. We were speaking to a friend the other day, respecting Hie merits of a ‘‘celebrated tradgediaii” when we laid occasion to continent on the rant ol' j the stage—the loud mouthing, the out- . rageous gesture, the furious rolling of i tlie eyes, tlie stride, swords that rat- tle in tlie hilt, and all tiie “pomp and circumstance” of the modern drama. Fancy this style carried into real life. Un being introduced to a lady, you would say, throwing yourself iuto a splendid at tit ude: “Most gracious madam, on my knees I greet you,” impressively placing your right hand upon your heart. To a creditor who would not pay: “Fraudulent knave, payest thou mo not? By yonder sun that blazes in the zenith, thee will I sue, and thou shalt see thy impious name fiainiug the streets on posters huge!” At dinner: “Now, by my soul and all my highest hopes, those beans- are royal. Were I Jupiter, beans should grace eacli royal banquet. What ho! waiter bring hither more beaus!” To your wile: ‘'Madam, beware thou dost excite me not; else, being too hot witli i wrath, I do myself some harm.- A needle here—a button oil my shirt— j see it instantly performed. Do it! Nor leave the task to me.” To your butcher: • “Thou ensanguined destroyer of bovincs, send me some mutton and some beef; and mark you, let it bo tenderer than love, and sweeter than tiie bee’s rare burden. I would dine to-day.” To a friend: “Excuse a rash intrusion on your grace; but hast thou in thy box a por- ) tiou of that plant, ranked by tlie botanist among the genus nieo(i«»«?” Or, “Most noble friend, wilt thou par- take witli me some strong libation? Thou lookest dull to-day ’twill cheer thy sinking heart.” lteply: “O noble soul! alas, not all the wine of bacchanalian revels J could ease the sorrow here! here! (Left arm struck several times.) O, what a l'ool and arrant knave am I, the very spoil of fortune.” This is scarcely more ridiculous than three-quarters of the stage nonsense. WHAT IS TIIE SUN? Professor Rudolph, in a lengthy paper on tho sun says: A molten or white hot mass, 85G,DIM) miles in diame- ter, equalling in hulk 1,260,000 worlds like our own, having a surrounding ocean of gas on lire, 50,000 miles deep, tongues of flame, darting upward more than 50,000 miles, volcanic forces that hurl into the solar atmosphere luminous m atter to the height of 160,- 000 m iles; drawing to itself all the worlds belonging to our family of planets, and holding them all in tlieir proper places; attracting with such superior force the millions of solid and stray musses tiiat are wandering in the fathomless abyss that they rush helplessly toward, him, and fall into his fiery embrace. And thus he con- tinues his sublime and restless march through liis mighty orbit, liavng at period, of more than 18,000,000of years. Un a Kentucky rapid transit line recent- ly, a passenger stopped tlie brakeman as lie was going through, and asked: “ How fast does this train go? A mile an hour? ” “ It goes fast enough to suit us. If you don't like tlie rate of speed get out and walk,” was die rejoinder. “ I would,” replied tlie disgusted passenger settling back in the corner of liis seat, “ hilt my friends won’t come for me until tho train gets in and I don’t want to he waiting around the depot for two or three hours.” The lirakeinan passed on. In a lecture in New York, Friday night, Professor Proctor expressed the opinion that Jupiter must have a life ten times ns long as the earth's. Before Jupiter will finish her sunlike, her undimuieil, burning stage, the earth will already he as the moon is now. Tlie earth will lose life before Ju- piter begins it. The moon he said, is a dead planet, having neither air nor nicist- me. Our earth must, some time present tlie appearaneeof tiie moon: and when all the pinnies have lived and died, the sun may then take on life; and when our sun is dead, that greater sun aroiunl which our system lolls, may begin hi live. Pressed hay is bringing from $10 to $14.80 in Winterport, a considerable quan- tity being hauled in for shipment. AFTER SEVEN UENTUItlES. The India correspondence of the London 7'iwies says: An event of some importance re- cently occurred in connection with the Temple of Juggernaut. Through- out the whole of tlie empire there is no shrine so sacred as Pooree, and no spot where a devout Hindoo would rather die that beneath this great lane. The temple, which cost half a million sterling ot' the money of our times, is literally black witli age. Tlie storms of nearly seven centuries, which are often so violent in the Ray of Bengal, have produced little im- pression upe.ii it, and until a few weeks ago it seemed as likely to re- main as many centuries more. Many of tlie large temples in the province are now in ruins, but they have not fallen through tlie weir and tear of time. A silent hut effectual power has been tlie cause of this destruction. The seeds of tlie pcepul and banyan trees have got into tlie foundations. These have taken root; tlie sapling has forced its way through the fis- sures of Hie stones, and ill process of years the whole fabric has been loos- ened and eventually brought down,and it seems probable that tiie Temple of Juggernaut will share tlie same fate. At the late ear festivals, as soon as tlie idols had been taken from their thrones for tlieir annual excursion, several large stones from the inner roof fell on the platform. Had they fallen a few minutes earlier tlie ido22 would have been shattered to atoms, and in all probability there would have been a great loss of life. Tho resident magistrate applied to the Governor lor an engineer to inspect the damage. This was found to he a very difficult task, as the temple is so dark. Thei'O arc no apertures for the light; five or six lights are kept burn- in the daytime: and even with these nothing is visible but. the idols. It is but very rarely that temples are re- paired, and the sound of tlie eliisel and the hammer on the top of this great temple will do mole to weaken Hie faith of tho Hindoo in Juggernaut than anything that has occurred in tlie present generation. There will bo no la.-k of money for any estimate, as tlie pri.^lsare very wealthy, and the annual income of the temple is said toamount to Xr.8,666, The question which is agitating all priests is wliat is to bo done witli tlie idols while tho repairs are I cing made. Tlie officers of tlie temple are most anxious to have the idols restored to tlieir thrones. They pi ..pose that an inner ceiling of wood shall l.e made to protect the idols and the wor. Uppers; but there would be so mu. h danger should there he another fall of stones tiiat the Rajali will not consent. AM INI.r will.AT. I have before me says a writer, heads of wheat grown on the eastern side of tlie Mississippi, within ten miles of Memphis, from grains taken from an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus, sent some years ago by tlie American Con- sul at Alexandria, to tiie patent office at Washington. Tiie stalks and leaves are very like those of Indian corn, though smaller, and tlie heads of grain like that of sorghum or broom corn. Strange but true it is, that this I wheat, degenerated but perfect in all its incidents, stiii grows among tlie weeds and grass tiiat cover mounds in tin- lowlands eighteen miles west of Memphis. IIow many centuries since Hies.; kindred products of Egyptian agriculture were separated, the one to move slowly, perhaps with nomadic tribes, around tlie globe, crossing Asia and the Pacific; and the other moving west in our time across tlie Atlantic, and both growing green even here in the year of our Lord, 1875, beneath the shadows of another Memphis on the shores of another Nile? Tho same writer says that the same race of people cultivated the same crops and garnered them in the same pecu- liar manner many aceuturyago. POSTAL CARDS. A contemporary is inclined to be severe on those people wiio use postal cards as mediums of correspondence witli friends. What rights in courtesy have letter writers who do not con- sider tlieir correspondents of impor- tance enough togive their epistles to them the poor compliment of an en- closure? How is a communication to be entertained when the writer con- fesses by the postal card tiiat it isn’t worth a sheet of paper and a postage stamp? Tiiat the postal card is very useful forcireular notes, for announce- ments, for communicating any simple fact that does not call for a response, noone candeny. B ut we subm it th a t so - cial custom ought to establish that) t missive of this kind calling for a re- sponse, excepting oil busiuess mat- ters concerning tlie recipient, is ail impertinence: and that a postal card partaking ol' the nature of correspon- dence as ordinarily understood, is tientled to no respect or consideration whatsoever. EUROPEAN CUSTOMS. ; A. Japanese editor wiites of Eul’O* pean customs: “It we observo tlio practice of Europeans, it would appear tiiat the power of Hie wife is greater than that of file husband, and tiiat this error lias been brought about by llio want of a correct view of the dic- tates of nature. We will point out ex- amples ol' this, ill going through a door tlie wife passes first ami the husband follows her; tiie wil'o lakes the best scat and tlie husband tlie next best; in visiting tlie wile is first saluted; in forms of address, tho wife is first mentioned. Moreover, while men are in company witli ladies I they are particular in tlieir conversa- tion, and are not permitted to smoko without tlie ladies’ permission being first obtained. These and like eiis- . toms are innumeral.lc. and Hie power of the women is far greater than that I of tlie m en.” Earl Fitzwilliam proposes to give strikers a severe lesson. The colliers struck for higher wages nine months ugoat liisRotheuham pits,Eng.,which were then closed. They now want to re- sume work oil the o w n e r ’s original terms, but the Earl declares that tlie collieries shall not he re-opened during Ills lifetime. The Earl is sixty years of age. W abash College forbids gambling among tlie students,and tlie boys want to know liow they can ever be appointed M inister to England without a knowl- edge of poker. QUAKER STRATEGY. In Scribner for February, in liis “ New York in tlie Revolution,” Mr. John F. Mines gives the following account of tlie wav Pulman escaped from Howe when tin. British captured the city in 1776: Neither soldier nor fugitive knew how narrow had been the escape of Putnam’s army that day. When Sir William Howe, accompanied l.y Glinton and Tyron, had landed at Kip’s Bay witli the main body of the British army, they struck across to the Middle Road, intending to make their eamp on the heights of Inclenbiirg, mid- way between New York and Ilarlem. They readied the load at a point just op- posite to where Putnam was stealing along, under cover of tlie woods that skirted the Hudson, to rejoin Washington. There was a house near by, from whose upper win- dows they might easily have iliscovered the dust created by the rapid march of the “ rebels,” and from ils cupola the gleam ot bayonets would have been plainly visible. Tlie Americans were not distant, indeed, but there was another and more insidious foe near at hand. Close to tlie Middle Road at a point now designated by the corpora- tion as Fiftli Avenue and Thirty-seventh -Ireet, stood the unpretentious hut exceed - ingly comfortable mansion of Robert Mur- ray, a Quaker merchant cf approved loy- alty to tlie Grown, as well as of large wealth. Fortunately theslirewd merchant could not control the feelings of liis house- hold, and his wife and daughters were ar dent patriots. When Lord Howe and liis i staff readied the edge of the Quaker's g.ar- ' dens they were enraptured to find Mrs. Murray ami her beautiful daughters ready to greet them with a warm welcome. Tlie parties had once met in more peaceful days. " William," said the fair Quaker illation, “ will thee alight ami refresh thy self at oar house ? ’ •• I thank you, Mrs. Murray,” sai.l the pleasure-loving coininander, “ blit I must lirsl catch that rascally Yankee, Putnam.’ The Yankee General was not to lie caught this time, if woman's wit could save him, even if the truth must lie tortured into a shape tiiat should deceive in older to save life. Very demurely the lady rejoined, in that plain language of her sect which al- • ways carries w ith it such an emphasis of truth. •• Didst thou not hear that Putnam had gone ? It isloo late to catch him. Thee had belter come in and dine.” Tie' invitation was seconded by the brightest smiles of the ilaugliters, and Howe wavered. Promising to pursue the hated Yankee after lie had dined, tlie Brit- ish commander alighted and entered the house, wliero tlie fascinations of his charm- ing hostesses made him forget for hours the object of his expedition. Putnam mean- while was li ving up tin: Bloomingdale road, never daring to draw breath until he caught -iglit of Washington's tents. Thaeher, in liis “ Military Journal," writes that it be- came a common saving among the Ameri- can officers that Mrs. Murray had saved Putnam’s division. A Soft Answer. The husband was of quick temper, and often inconsiderate.—They laid not been married a year when one day, in a lit of hasty wrath, tie said to liis wife: “ I want no correction from you. If you are not satisfied witli liiv conduct, von can return to your home whence I took you and find happiness witli your kind “ if 1 leave you,” returned the unhappy wife, “ will you give me hack that which I I rouglit to you ? ” •• Every dollar. I covet not your wealth, you shall have it all hack. ” “ All!" she answered, “ I mean not tlie wealth of gold. I thought not of dross. 1 mean my maiden heart—my first and only love—my buoyant hopes, and tlie promised blessings of mv womanhood. Gan you give these to m e?” A moment of thought—of convulsion— aniltlien taking her to his arms: “ No, no, my wife, 1 cannot do that, lint 1 will do more; 1 will keep them hence- forth unsullied and unpained. 1 cherish your blessings as mv own : and never again. God helping me, will I forget tile pledge I gave at tile holy altar when you g ive your peace ami happiness to my keeping. ” How true it is tiiat a soli answer turneth away wrath;and how many, olr how many of tiie hitter strifes of domestic life might lie avoided by remeinhering and acting in accordance therewith. Ail Editor «f 1775. In 1775 there were four newspapers pub- lished in New York, llivington's “ Royal Gazetteer " was the subservient tool of the British authorities. “ Tho Mercury.” pub- lished liy Hugh Gaine, was a time-server and trimmer. Anderson's “ (.'onstitiitional Gazette” was born and died in 1775, and hail no influence whatever. “ The New York Journal,” published by John Holt, was the sturdy an 1 unpurehasal 1: organ of tile Sens of Liberty. its editor fled tile city after tlie disastrous battle on Long Is- land, and he was heard of afterward as publishing liis newspaper atone and an- other of ilio towns on the Hudson under circumstances that would have appalled a less determined man. In the month of August, 1777, while at Esopus, he printed an advertisement, in which lie proposed to take any kind of country produce in die way of trade. His prospectus reads very quaintly: “ Aud the printer, being unable to carry on liis business without tlie neces- saries of life, is obliged to affix- tlie follow- ing prices to liis work, viz., For u quarter nJ news', 12 lbs. of beef, pork, veal, or mutton, or I liis. of butter, or 7 liis. ol cheese, or 18 lbs. of line flour, or half a bushel of wheat, or one bushel of Indian corn, or half a cord of wood, or 300 wt. of hay, or other articles of country produce as lie shall want them, in like proportions, or as much money as will purchase them at the time; for other articles of printing work, tlie prices to lie in proportion to that of tlie newspaper. All liis customers, who have to spare any of tile above, or other articles of country produce, he hopes will let him know il, and afford him the nec- essary supplies, without which his business here must very soon lie discontinued.” It is gratifying to be able to state that the sturdy patriot survived tlie Revolution, and lived to revisit tlie city, of which lie had been I’ostmaster in 1775. His patriotic la- bors and sufferings justly entitled him to tlie following epitaph: "A due tribute to tlie memory of John Holt, printer to this State, a native of Virginia, who patiently obeyed dentil’s awful summons on the thirtieth of January, 1784, in the sixty- fourth year of liis age. To say that liis family lament him is needless; that his friends bewail him, is useless; that all regret him, unnecessary; for tiiat lie merited every esteem is cer- tain. The tongue of slainler^eannotsay, less though justice might say more.” Such an epitaph, inscribed over tlie dust of an edi- tor, who had also held commission as Post- master, opens a wide field of emulation to tlie journalists and officials of tlieso later days.—John F. Mines; Seribncr for Janu- ary. _______________ General Babcock declares his innocence, lint believes St. Louis juritsare under re' - cl influence anil dare not acquit him. Among tlie witnesses summoned are Pres- ident Grant, Postmaster General Jewell, Mayor Barratt of Washington, Supervisor Tutton, cx-Gommissioner Douglass ami Treasury Auditor Mahon. HAVE WE ANOTHER rAKAl. UNDER OUR OLD OXE ? Air. Alclntire, of York county. Me., writes as follows to the editor ol the Ger- mantown I’elegraph: Some four years ago the Bjston and Maine Railroad to Portland was built through, and followed the northeast boun- dary of my farm on its entrance to this city. I For sixty rods a cut was excavated twenty feet deep, the earth of which was carted out on one side and covered four acres of mow- ing land from six to ten feet diep. This dump was composed of loam, sard, gravel, elav and rocks, and it was declaied by the committee that the field was ruined, and I obtained damages for the full v: luo of the grountl. Being driven with otliar work, I allowed the dump to remain unmolested for two years to warm and dry. Being an eye- sore and scab on the farm, I determined to abate it as soon as possible. 1 first hauled oil' all the stone} and put them into a good wall, making a piece some forty rods long: then plowed tlio ground and leveled it with a scraper for the mow- ing machine: plowed again and carted on alight dressing of manure, and a'l was lev- eled, harrowed thoroughly and sowed to grass seed in August, 1874. Las>summer, to my own surprise and that of every one, I cut the heaviest crop of hay I over saw grow—fully two and a half tons to the acre. Now this goes to convince mo that the earth is composed of vegetable anhstanees all the way throngh, anti is only waiting for the plow to bring it to the .‘inrfaee to warm anti dry, in order to produtje bounti- ful crops. Anyone haying an old worn-out farm of which he has become sick, has oLly to pro- cure one of our modern steel plows and gauge it to twice the depth he has been ac- customed to plow, break up that hard pan underneath and bring it to the surface, and thus at once secure drainage, heat and moisture. By doubling the depti of your plowing you double the capacity of your soil to produce crops, and i>ercljance turn up a new farm which may pleas-3 you bet - ter than the old one. It is cheaper than to emigrate, and better every way. T ansy tea is said to be a sure lamedy for hots in horses. Experiments tried upon hots show that while they resht ibe action of almost every other substance, they are quickly killed by tansy. aviu, harden $ g w . Brief artielcH, suggestions, and results of experience relating to Farm, Garden or Household laanagement are invited from our readers interested in si.eb matters. ORCHARDING JN MAINE. Our farmers generally, who have soils ami location adapted to it, ought never to lose sight of the fact that we in -Maine must make orcharding one of our leading branches of husbandry—as it is a pursuit that oilers larger and safer retun s for the lime, capital and labor which it demands, iban most oLhers for which our soils and climate are adapted. It used to lje, in the days of our fathers, an idea that he who planted an orchard planted it for his chil- dren and more remote posterity; but we have improved upon that, and some ol our most noted and successful oiohardists now say that they expect tlieir trees to bear remunerative crops in six years from netting out, often in live, and that if a tree does not hear after having been set eight years it is “ no use to bother with it.” But w in re these expectations are realized the conditions upon which tiny depend are well attended to. The land is wa ll fed for three years preparatory to the tries being set out, and when set no grass is allowed to grow upon the ground, the soil being kept light and open by frequent surface cultivation, ami its fertility kept up by lib- eral top dressing. The trees are watched and cared for, the borers ami oth< r insects kept under control, (which is a slight task if systematically and persistently followed up) and the orchardist has little to do hut to see that his trees <lt> not get hungry, harvest the fruit, ami draw in tl o green- backs. If land on which trees are grow- ing and from which good crops lire ex- pected becomes exhausted, there ia a con- stant loss by depreciation year by year, ami a consumption of the tissues amt life of the tree while trying to perform ils office of yielding fruit. Hence when an 01 chard be- gins to fail up, producing less and less fruit yearly, the cause is almost always to he found in a hungry soil from which the trees have abstracted all the nourishment possible, and yet from their veiy nature must go on trying to yield fruit until they finally give up the ghost. Abun jant ma- nure, a clean open soil, mulching, care: these are the rcquironients of aj pie trees — these conditions complied wit, will in- sure heavy yields and profitable leturns. Some timid fruit growers begin to he alarmed for fear orehanling will be over- done: that fruit w ill become so plenty it won’t fetch anything, ami I hat those who put out more trees are sure to meet with a loss. We don’t harbor any fea ’a of this sort. It has been the cry for years about certain kinds of products consumed by a hungry world, that there would ,n an over production, low prices ami failure. Vfe have never seen it realized and i ever ex- pect to. The great question is in many parts of the world ami will he in "Jiis coun- try as our population increase?, “ IIow shall we get food for thepeopl ??”—and we have no fears that whatever wo raise in the United States as a contribution to the food supplies of the world, “ wil’ go beg- ging.” Let our orehardists raise all the fruit possible, of popular sorts—not at- tempting to grow too many varieties ex- cept for experimental purposes—and when they fail to sell at remunerative prices we want them to drop us a line. We won’t agree to take it ofi' their hands, hit would like to he informed of the fact so wt; may tell our readers to stop planting tiees. Put the fact is, new avenues of consumption are constantly being opened for our fruits as well as other products; the foreign mar- kets are at our own doors for whatever , surplus of the right sort we have to sell- ami farmers who are shrewd rnd know what market they are striving foi, will un- derstand the varieties demanded and the best time to sell. They are wise who watch these things and take advantage of them. Buyers will go where they can pur- chase two hundred or live hundred barrels in a lot, when they will not look at a lot of ten or twenty barrels. The latter will do for the local demand; those who make or- charding a business are beginning to pre- pare for putting large lots upon tlie mar- ket—the larger the better. In Androscog- gin and Kennebec counties withi i the past two years lots of 50U ami 200 hl la. of ap- ples have been purchased for tho English market by an English buyer, and were -bipped from Portland for Liverpool. This agent could not stop to bother w itli lots of twenty ami fifty barrels—the expenses would be just as large :is they would in purchasing five hundred barrels, and had this agent found ten lots of tliis size in .Maine instem, of two, he would have pur- i based them all. With this demand for choice fruit ever widening and increasing, w ho will he afraid to put out apj lo trees— w ho will fail to give them good care and attention after they are set—who will dare say wc are “ overdoing” our orcharding? —Maine Fanner. FARM MISCELLANY. To P revent F klit T rees from S plit - ting .—It frequently happens, in very fer- tile regions, that trees split limb from limb through sheer weight of fruit. Wo saw many instances of this wherever a small garden had been planted in the foot- hills of the Sierras in California. Tho common mode of prevention is to prop up weighty branches with a piece of shingle. Isaac Lewis, of Hopkinsville, Ky., gives in the Prairie Farmer another plan:— “ When T find a forked true that is likely to split, I look for a small limb on each fork, and clean them of leaves and lateral branches for most of tlieir length. I then carefully bring them together and wind them round each other, from ene main branch to the other. In twolvo months they will have united, ami in two years the ends can he cut oft’. The brace will grow as fast as any other part of the tree, anil is a perfect security from splitting. I have them now of all sizes, aud I scarcely over knew one to fail to grow. S hiftless F armers.—We never knew a farmer to take an axe or a beetle and g«* and break a wheel here and knock ina hraee there, and crack this section and elip that one, among his farm machines, wagons and implements—that is, unless ho was drunk! But some of them—pretty gout farmers, too, in most things, gut about tho same results in a roundabout way. They store the mowing machine in a 1<aky shed where it is used as a turkey roost; tlio lighter instruments are stowed away wliero the cattle knock them down aud break them: the carriage and harness aro kept where the stable fumes spoil tho varnisli; and a general slip-shod stylo knocks off fif- ty per cent, from the value of the farming equipment. The farmer who “ keeps things ship-shape ” is generally tho thriv - ing man. “ Down-at-tho-heel-ativeneos ” will spread the black frost of mortgago over a farm nearly as quick as rum-drink - ing.— The Golden Rule. Managing Stock.—Evciy farmershould manage his stook in tho samo way that ho would if he were breeding thoroughbreds, or trying to establish a new breed. He should have some definite object in view ami try tc attain it. If he is making butter a specialty, let him select cows which will produce the richest, best, and largest quan- tity of butter, and breed from them, trying to improve upon them. If it is eheeso- ntaking that he considers the more impor- tant, let him select cows adapted to this purpose, ami such ns give a largo yield of milk, suitable for the production of cheese, and then breed from this stock, trying to produce better animals. There is much indifferent, careless management in stock-breeding, and the result is imperfect and deteriorated animals. There is no need of it. I rrigation is being practiced in the moist climate of Ireland, upon barren hill- sides, with decided advantage. Land which without tho use of water artificially would produce very little, by irrigation is made to yield grass abundantly. There are hillsides ill .Maine that if watered by some brook, diverted from its course, and conducted along their sides, would yield aduudant crops of the best hay. Butter F actories.—Among the papers read at the recent meeting of the Vermont Dairymen, was oue hv Mr. Ituthford of New York, which denounced butter facto- ries as a nuisance, on the ground that they increase the cost of making butter and de- crease the interest in its proper manufac- ture, and statistics were bsought forward in support of these positions. P otatoes,—After discussing at length the various opinions as to the best time for harvesting potatoes, the editor of the Lew- iston Journal advises the digging of them as soon as they are ripe, in preference >o allowing them to remain in the ground for a time after the tops are dead. H ens.—The Lewiston Journal recom- mends putting a table-spoonful of sulphur in the nest of each setting lieu. Every louse will he killed, and if the chickens when hatched are kept from other hens they will not be troubled from vermin and will thrive much better. I f cows eat the litter from tho horses’ Stalls, as they are inclined to do, if oppor- tunity is afforded, tho milk and butter will be tainted. DOMESTIC RECEIPTS. Transparent Pies.— Take three eggs, two tablespoonfuls ofjelly (currant is b<Ml) and one of butter; llavor with essence of lemon. This will make two pies. Baku with one crust. Graham CupCake.-Vnbo\ted wheat meal, two cupfuls; buttermilk, one cup; molas- ses, one-half eup; butter, quarter of a cup; eggs, two; soda, half a teaspoonful. Baka half an hour. To Clean Tinware.— Tho best thing for cleaning tinware is common soda. Dampen a cloth and dip in soda and rub the warn briskly, after which wipe dry, and it will look equal to new. Chicken Gelatine.— Slice cold roaat chick- en and law in a mould with alternate lay- ers of cold boiled tonguo and occasional slices of hard boiled egg; season with cel- ery and salt. Disolve a half ounce of Cox’s gelatine in a pmt of clear brown gravy and pour over the meat. It must stand twelve hours to harden before cutting. Snow Pudding.— Into one quart of sweet milk put one pint bread crumbs, butter tho size of an egg, the well beaten yolks of five eggs, sweeten and flavor as for custard, mix the whole well together. While the abovo is baking, heat the whites of tlie five eggs to a stiff’ froth, add a half teacup sifted su- gar, pour it over tho hot puddiqg when cooked return to the oven until a delicate brown. The above is excellent without ad- dition, but some prefer a layer of jolly or canned peaches on tlio pudding before frosting. No sauce is needed. To Make Crullers.— Mix well together half a pint of sour milk, or buttermilk, two tcaeupfuls of sugar, ono toaeupful of butter, and three eggs well beaten; add to this a teaspoonful of saleratus dissolved in hot water, a tc;ispoonful of salt, half a nutmog grated, and a teaspoonful of powdered eina- mon: sift in flour enough to make a smooth dough: roll it out not quite a quarter of an inch thick; cut in small oblong pieces; di- vide one end in three or four parts like lingers, and twist or plait them over each other. Fry them in boiling lard. These cakes may be cut in strips and tho emls joined, to make a ring, or any other shape. Stewed Shoulder of Mutton.— The should- er must not he too fat. Bono it, tie it up in a cloth, and boil it for two hours and a half; then take it up, put a litLleeold butter over it and strew it thickly with bread crumbs, i>arsley, thyme, pepper and salt, all properly mixed. Let it remain in tlio oven halfan hour, so as to brown it perfect- ly. Serve with lumps of currant jelly on the top, and gravy or spice round the dish. Chicken Jelly— Half a raw chicken, pounded with a mallet, bones and meat to together; cold water to eover it well; heat slowly in a covered vessel, let it simmer till tlie meat is in white rags and tho liquid reduced one-half; strain and press through a coarse cloth, season to taste, return to tlie tire, and simmer five minutes longer; skim when cool. Give to the patient oold, with unleavened wafere.

O, for one hour of youthful joyl Give back my twentieth spring!
I'd rather laugh a bright-haired boy Thau reign a gray-haired king.
Off with the wrinkled spoils of ago; Away with learning's crown;
Tear out life's wisdom written page And cast its trophies down.
One moment, let my life blood c’.reaux From boyhood's fount ot fame;
Give me one giddy, reeling dream Ol life, aud love, and fame.
IIy listening angel heard the prayer. And, calmly smiling, said:
" If I but touch thy silvered hair Thy hasty wish had sped.
“But is there nothing in the track To bid thee fondly stay,
While the swilt seasons hurry back To hud the wislied-for day?’*
Ah. truest soul of woman kind. Without thee what were lile?
One bliss I cannot leave behind— I'll take my precious wife.
The angel took a sapphire pen Aud wrote in rainbow hue,
“The man would l»e a boy again, Aud be a husband too. ;
“And is there nothing yet unsaid, Before the change appears?
Remember all thy gifts have fled With these desolving years.”
“Why, yes, I would one favor more? My fond paterunl joys—
I could uot bear to lose them all; I 'll take my girls and boys.”
The smiling angel dropped hia pen, “ Why, this will never do;
The man would be a boy again. And be a lather too!”
And so 1 laughed. My laughter woke The household with its noise,
I wroto my dream when morning broke. To please my girls and boys.
