Down the Road. ,A lusty tramp, one summer's day The sun was glaring fiercely down Trudged on along the dusty way That led toward the newest town. No friendly tree Mb welcome shade Athwart his weary pathway cast; 2o babbling brooklet leaped and played Along the roadside as he passed. "Is there no shady ppot," he cried, "At hand?" to one who by him strode, "Oh! yes," the other one replied "A little further down the road." Ah! well! we all are tramps at best; "We stagger 'neath life's dally load. Yet on wo press and hope for rest, 'A little further down the ..road." G. L. Oatlin. A Romance. On a little frequented street, though in the immediate vicinity of the Es planade, the boulevard, and Isaac's Place, there stands.a gloomy-looking building, large, but of a severe style of architecture, and painted in som bre oolors. This lathe Leuchtenberg Palace, a name suggestive of a dark page in the history of the imperial family of Kusaia. Many of the Chron icle's readers will yet remember the romantio story of the marriage ofCzar Nicholas' favorite daughter to a dash ing young German officer. The Duke of Leuchtenberg was good-looking, but comparatively poor and obscure, and it Ib saidthe wayward princess made the first advance, and even that the stern emperor consented to the marriage only to avoid ecandal At any rate, romance and royalty did not Beem to agree well, and the union turned out badly. The Duchess tired of her former idol, a gay and dashing, but at the same time scholarly and thoroughly honorable German, and began to form liaisons, the most noto rious of whioh was with a Count Strogonoff. After a life of mortified seclusion and constant study the duke died, refusing to recognize on his death-bed the last children born to the princess. Immediately after bis demise the latter was forced to marry Strogonoff, and was banished from .Russia. She took up her abode in Paris, where she died a fewyearsago. The children of this union have been Bomewhat under a cloud, and several matohes proposed for the very accom plished daughter were broken off for some unexplained reasons. The old est son the young Duke of Leuoh- tenberg haB now joined the army of the Danube, and may accomplish something in the field that will place a renewed luster around his wronged father's name, ,ud bridge the gulf that separated him and bis sister from the remainder of hid family. Caught In Ills Own Trap. Two ministers of the gospel were conversing toge there on extemporan eous preaching. Well,' said the old divine, waxing warm, 'you are ruining yourself by writing your sermons, and reading them off. Your congregation cannot become interested in your preaohlng, and if you were called upon unexpec tedly to preach, unless you could get hold of an old sermon you would be completely oonfused.' The young divine used all his elo quence but In vain to convince the old gentleman that the written serm on expressed his own thoughts and feelings, and if called upon he could preach extemporaneously. As we are of the same faith,' said the young minister, 'suppose you try me next Sabbath morning. On as cending the pulpit, you can hand me a text from any part of the Bible, and I will convince you that I can preach without looking at the text before I stand up. Likewise, I must be allow ed the same privilege with you, and Bee who will make the best of it.' The idea seemed to delight the old gentleman, and it was immediately agreed upon. The following Sabbath, on mount ing the pulpit, his senior brother Landed him a slip on which was writ ten : 'And the Ass opened his mouth and apake,' from whioh he preached a glorious sermon, chaining the atten tion of his hearers, and charming his old friend with his eloquence. In the afternoon, the young broth er, who was sitting below the pulpit, handed his slip. After rising and opening the Bible, the old man look ed sadly around, and read : 'Am I not thine Ass?' Pausing a few moments, he ran his fingers through his hair, straightened his collar, blew his nose and read aloud, "Am I not thine Ass?' An other pause, in which a deadly silence xeigned, After reading a third time, Am I not thine Ass? he looked over the pulpit at his friend, and in a dole ful' voice said: kI think lam, brother.1 . He Wanted to Jine. Yon want to jine the ban, do you ?' said an old negro preaoher to a young convert. 'Yes, ear, I want to jine.' Wellr8ar, do you believe Gerliah, a pickaninny little shaver, slewed a great big man called David, that was longer dan de Centre Market, wid a pebble dat was no bigger dan a huck leberry? Eh?' No! I don't believe nothln' like dat,' was the reply. Den, you can't jine.' Well, den, I believes it. On wid de kateklse." 'Do you believe,' continued the dea con, 'dat dor war a man called Joner, who swallered a whale and kept It down a awful long time before he spitted it out?' 'No, sar, can't make me b'leve dat,' was the response, 'Den you oan't jine.' 'Well, now, by jingo, I b'leve dat, too. Go on wid do kateklse.'

A Revolutionary soldier was run ning for congress, and his opponent was a young man, who had never been to the wars, and it was the cus tom of the old Revolutioner to tell of the hardships he had endured. He said :" 'Fellow-cltizena : I have fought and bled for my country. I helped to whip the British and the Indians. I have slept on the field of battle, with no other covering than the canopy of heaven. I have walked over the fro zen ground till every footstep was marked with blood ' Just about this time one of the sov ereigns, who had become greatly In interested in thetnleof sufferings, wi ped the tears from ills eyes with the extremity of his coat tall, and Inter rupted him with : 'Did you say you had fought the British and the Injuns?' Yes, sir.' 'Did you say you slept on the ground, while serving your country, without any kiver ?' I did. 'Did you say j'our feet kivered the ground you walked over with blood?' 'I did, 'said thespeaker, exultingly. 'Well, then, said the sovereign, as he gave a sigh of tearful emotiou, 'I guess I'll vote for t'other fellow ; for I'll be blamed if you aintdone enough for your country.' Have you noticed the 'cute' way which a fashionable young lady has of grabbing the tail end of her dress in promenading? If you haven't al ready done so, just -notice the raodu? operandi. It is indeed a funny and ridiculous sight to see a lovely woman Btop at a street crossing, give her body a fearful twist, stoop low, and reach iugbackwards nearly to her heels, grab from five to forty poundaof trail full of dirt and dust and shake it five or six times like a buzzard fixing his wings to fly, then hobble noross the street like a lame turkey to the other side, then 'let go,' and turn off like a stern-wheeler in a storm. A female justice of the peace in Wy oming Territory, wos obliged to hear a case of scandalous character, in which her husband filled the unenvi able position of defendant. She sen tenced him to be hanged by the neck until dead, and was anxious to have the sentence carried into effect at once, until the attorney explained to her that she was sitting as an exnm ingoourt. She then held him In bonds of $18,000,000 to await the ac tion of the grand jury, and said she would shoot the first man full of holes that attempted to raise the sureties. Nevada Paper. Corn starch is manufactured by steeping the corn in water, at a tem perature of from 70 to 140 F., for about a week, changing the water at least once in twentjr-four hours. A certain amoutof acid fermentation Is thus produced, causing the starch and refuse of the corn to be easily separa ted afterwards. The swollen corn is ground to a ourrent of clear, soft wa ter, and the pulp passed through sieves with the water into vats. In these the starch gradually settles to the bottom, the clear water is then run off by a tap, and the starch gath ered and dried in a proper apartment for the purpose. , "Did you see de 'clipse ?" said an elderly darkey to a brother son of Af rio's clime, the other night, by the town-pump. "Dere's.gwine to be fam ine, shuah !" he added. His compan ion spemed wrapped in thought a min ute, when he ejaculated hopelessly, "How's a man gwlue to lib in a fam ine on 75 cents a day, and men cartin' off dere own ashes?" "Go way!" said his friend, "It's only the unjust who'll catch it deae free libbers, who don't do uuffin but swell round in de day times and spend other folks' mon e3T.

A lady in Borne who has tried the remedy, recommended the following : Bathe the face slightly with cologne water after tea, and at about 10 r. r. brush both cheeks, the forehead and chin, with a carefully selected moustaoh. If this does not remove the freckles it will under or dinary circumstances cause them to be forgotten. The Democratic committee of Miss issippi have issued an address to the Democrats of that State, in which they say : 'Believed from the men ace of organized opposition, majori ties are liable to become indifferent to the maintenance of their own organi zation and to divide among them selves.' What a spectacle it will be to see the Mississippi Democrats bull dozing one another. 'What can I give you for a keep sake, my dearest John ?' sobbed out a sentimental English girl to her scape grace lover, about to join his ship In warlike times.

An Ohio farmer grows overoOO acres is this crop annually. The drying-houses em ploy over fifty persons. The fresh ears are steamed five minutes to set the milk, the grain is then cut off rapidly with cutters having concave faces; then spread on perforated zinc tables, and heat applied for four or five hours from long furnaces, stirring constant ly ; then packed in barrels of three bushels eacli for shipment. Great care is required to have the corn of the right age, and to have it dried enough to keep well. Four bushels of corn on thecob makeonedried the wholesalo price of which ia $20 to $22 per barrel. Fifty bushels of corn per acre, 500 acres would yield 25,000 bushels and give over 2,000 barrels of dried corn, which, at $20 per barrel, would be $40,000. Thumps in Young Pigs. "W.B.," Columbus, Ga., sends to the American Agriculturist the following method for treating young rJigs for the thumps, which he has found successful. One pig of a Utter four weeks old was at tacked first. Subsequently another of the same litter was similarly affected. As I killed a joung pig in trying to force medicine down its throat, I thought it prudent to try another way. I began to feed my sucking pigs at three weeks old, and as one or two, won't eat alone, I gave the whole lit ter a dose each, (in as little food as possible, to insure their getting all the medicine,) of castor oil, once n day for a week, with a dose'.of copperas every third day, and a little sulphur once or twice. In a week the two sick pigs were entirely cured, and the whole litter improved by the treatment. If dust in the pen and yards ia prevented, there will not be many cases of thumps. The Care of Geraniums, I. The geraniums which have lost their foli age most probably need repotting. Shake offall the earth from the roots, and set theui in soil whioh you have prepared ; press the fresh earth around the plants, and give them a little water.keeping them in the shade for a week. Cut them back if they are well grown. They do not require to be kept very warm, only so they will not freeze. The flowering maple must be taken out of its pot and the roots washed. Scrub the pot, and fill it with new earth, in which reset the plant. Wash slugs off with whale oil soap, and if this does not prove uffect ual, smoke the plant with tobacco by putting tobacco in a saucer with a live coal on it, and holding the plant over the fume3. The Care of Geraniums. II. If yourgeraniums are unhealthy.change the earth ; sod soil should be used ; mix it on top with stable manure and a little charcoal pulverized ; place the pots in a good sunny place ; water ev ery other day ; once a week dig up the soil, so it will not become hard or baked. Apple Worm. How to keep this inseot in check and save the apple crop from its ravages is a question anxiously asked by every intelligent apple raiser. The following means, if adopted by all apple growers, and faithfully and persistently carried out, would largely reduce their numbers and injuries. First, all worm-falls should be gathered up and destroyed as often as once eaoh day. A drove of hogs kept in the orchard will general ly do this work in an excellent man ner. And It is claimed by some that hogs thus treated never have the chol era ; of the truth of this, however, I do not know. Second, old clothes hung In the crotches of the trees will be ohosen by tho larv:e as hiding places. They should bo examined every week or two, and all tho larvie killed. A band of hay wound two or three timesaround the trunk of the tree will catch the most of them as they ascend the tree. These, like the clothes above mentioned, should be occasionally examined and the larvaj concealed under them destroyed. All barrels, boxes, etc, in which apples have been kept through the winter should have a thorough examination In the spring, and all cocoons with their contents which may generally be found in such situations be de stroyed. The importance of this step will be understood when it Is known that more of the females that lay the eggs for the first brood come from the cellars and fruit-houses where fruit has been stored than from all other sources. I should have said the oodling moth preys on the pear as w'ell as the apple. Ohio Farmer. New Cure for Wounds. As soon as a wound is inflicted get alittle stick a knife or file-handle will do and commence to tap gently ou-the wound. Do not stop for the hurt, but continue until it bleeds freely and becomes per fectly numb. When this point is reaohed you are safe all that is neces sary is to protect it from the dirt. Do not stop short of tho bleeding and the numbness, and do not on any account close tho opening with plaster. Noth ing more than a little cerate on a clean cloth Is necessary. We have used and seen this used on all kinds of simple punotures for 30 years, and never knew a single instance of a wound becoming inflamed or sore af ter treatment as above. Among other cases : A coal rake tooth going entir ly through thelfoot, a rusty darning needle through the foot, a bad bite by sucking pig, severalinstancesof file shanks through the hands, and num berless cases of rusty nails, awls, etc., but we never knew a failure of this treatment. Exchange. Breakfast Eelish. Cut into small pieces one-quarter of a pound of cheese ; place in a spider with a small piece of butter ; pour over it one cup of milk and one egg well beaten ; sea son high with salt and pepper. Another Use for Mustard. The lives of many of us are nothing else than instances of slow poisoning. What with unwholesome food and adulterated drink It Is really a won der of wonders that we live so long. But cases in which people perish by a single fatal draught are few and far between. They may, however, ocour in connection with any of us, and it is well to be prepared. Suppose, then one should swallow poison, what should he do? Fly to the mustard pot. It may save his life. A table spoonful of ordinary mustard, mixed In a wineglassful of water, will sel dom fail to produce sickness. In the mustard pot,' saj's a distin guished writer on food, 'we have one of the safest and swiftest of emetics.' This, surely, is a fact worth know ing. Late-Hatched Chickens. Too little attention is paid each sea son to the chickens hatched late in the season, nearly every breeder sup posing that they will not amount to much, and that the care and atten tion bestowed on them is at best but poor paj. Nearly all of the Asiatic breeds will do well If hatched as late as Septem ber, as their heavy feathering serves in a great measure to protect them from the cold. One pceoaution is nec eesary, and that is to keep them out of the Autumn rains. Half-fledged chickens are very easily damaged by allowing them to get soaking wet in a cold rain, and are put back very much in their growth, even if they are not killed by roup or catarrh by the exposure. A noticeable feature in late-haUhed Asiatics is that they are generally finer in color and shorter in the legs, and that they are largely pullets. In nine cases out of ten the early hatched chicks will be largely cocker els, and many of these will be coarse and leggy, while later in the season the reverse will be the case. Sometimes the cold weather will check their growth completely, un less a very warm house is provided ; but even then they will make large chicks if generously fed through the winter, for as soon as the warm days of spring come they will, if in good condition and they ought to be fat commence growing rapidly and soon rival the early-hatched birde. These late-hatched pullets are often very serviceable, as the3' usually commence laying in April, when the early ones are all in a clucking mood, and will soon pay for the care that has been taken of them. Of oourse It will not pay farmers to take thi3 extra care with common fowls, or those designed for market ; hut the fancier who can find ready sale for eggs in April and May is sorely tempted to let them go, and if he can make use of eggs laid late in June and July, and even Au gust, he can well afford a generous supply of food and a little extra care. These late-hatched chicks should have all the corn they can eat as late at night as they can see to eat, and they may even be fed by lamplight; we have done it more than once and a meal of soft food at daylight in the morning. During tho daytime, if.food is left where they can have free access to it, all the better. Every grain of food taken which Is not actually needed for the growth of the fowl produces fat, and this accumulation of fat ren ders them all the more fit for a suc cessful wintering. A chicken that is well fed and well houBed is far less li able to disease than one that is half starved and that is left out in the cold and storm. During tho severe cold weather they will not grow any, and many are thereby deceived, thinking such chickens are stunted and will never grow any larger; but such is not the case, for, as soon as tho grass starts in the spring they will commence to grow, and that very rapidly, and will soon "show their keeping" and make valuable fowls.

A farmer in Randolph county, 111., whose hogs were affected by cholera, gave them a tablespoonful of turpen tine mixed in with each bucket of slop. His hogs all recovered, and have been healthy ever since, he con tinuing to give them an occasional dose of turpentine. Certainly therem edy is very simple, and farmers can afford to give it a trial.
