Finding Fault.
In speaking of a person's faults
Tray don't forget your own ;
Remember those with houses of glass
Should seldom throw a stone.
If we had nothing elsa to do
Then talkofthoiewbosln,
Tls better we commence nt homo.
And from that point begin.
Wo have no right to Judge a man
Until he's fairly tried.
Should we not like his company.
Wo know the world Is wide;
Some may havo faults, and who has not?
The old as well as the young,
Perhaps we may, for all we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of a better plan.
And find It works full well,
To find your own defects to euro,
Ere other's faults you tell.
And though I sometime hopo to bo
No worse than some I know.
My own short comings bid mo let
The faults of others go.
Now lot us all when we'begln
To slander friend or foe,
.Tli ink of the harm one word may do
To thn e we little know.
Remember, curses, chlckeu-llko.
Sometime to roost come home ;
Don't sjieak of others faults until
You have none of your own.
THE FOBGOTTEN SENTINEL.
i
The Island of Ragen, In the Baltic,
opposite Straleund, Is n strong natural
position BtronRly fortified. During
the campaign of 1807 Davouat had oc
onpled It with a regiment of infantry
and some companies of sappers and
pioneers, and one of the Infantrymen
was FIrmin Bonard, a young soldier
posted one night as Ben try on a little
eminence near the harbor.
It was midnight when the corporal
of tho guard left him and he expeoted
to be relieved fat 2 o'clock, which
would leave him three hours' sleep
before morning. The minutes slowly
wore away and the two hours, accord
ing to the sentry's calculation, bad
about expired, when suddenly he
heard a sound as If footsteps approach
ing.
'Good! Here comes the rollefl'
said FIrmin Bonard to hlmsolf, then
orled aloud, 'Who goes there?'
There was no reply. 'And yet I
heard something, muttered the sol
dier, 'and I can take my oath my two
hours are up.' Almost Immediately
thereafter there was another ruetle In
the buphes, then a bark, and the
poodle Capuoin, the Dog of the Regi
ment, and a warm personal friend of
the young sentry, bounded up to him.
II.
On hearing the dog bark the senti
nel at first fancied that pomothing
was wrong, and cocking his muBket
he oast a Bearohlno- fflanca lnta..tho
fnH-TT?frrtfTTrrSn7inrTuir
VwUWMaVa7l Uw..., ..., ..u.
en. i5ut tuere was neitner souna nor
sight of a foe, and Capucln, clamber
ing up the rocks, came bounding to
Bon ard'e feet.
'Oh, you think that if I am oh i lied
and Blaepy I had better warm my
blood and wake myself up with a
dance, eh ? But, Capuoin, you have
no musket to carry, or you wouldn't
frisk eo.'
Still Capucln continued to bark and
to run, now to the right, now to the
left, as if possessed,; till finally los
ing all patience heoame up to the
Boldier, seized him by the overcoat
and tugged so heartily at it that he
tore away a fragment of the oloth.
Bonard was not in the best of hu
mor originally, now his anger was in
creased and transferred from the ab
sent corporalto the present Capucln,
and be saluted.tbe animal wjjh.a lus
ty kick.
The dog was visibly grieved to be so
maltreated and misunderstood, and
retired to sorao little distance, then
slowly returned, looked reproaobful
ly at the soldier and licked his
hands.
'Go! Be off with yon !' said Bon
ard, steeling his heart and threaten
ing him with the butt-end of his
piece.
Capuoin seeing that he could not
prevail with him, at last retired, often
looking back and barking invitingly.
But the sentry stood resolutely at
bis post, and Capuoin just reaohed the
beaoh in time to embark with the cor
poral in tho last boat, for Napoleon
had formed a new strategic combina
tion and was retiring inland, and had
sent Davoust orders to join him in
stantly, evacuating Bugen on an
hour's notice. In tho bustle the cor
poralevery one but Capuoin had
forgotten about Bonard.
nr.
FIrmin Bonard, pacing hisjbeatwith
his musket under his arm, heard 3 o'
clock strike In the distant belfry of
the old church of Ragen, then 4, then
5. Theswallows began to twitter and
the sun came up.
Losiug all patience, and In des
perate defiance of military law, which
enjoined him to remain on post till he
was duly relieved, he descended from
the heights and sought tho guard
bouse. 'If any body ia going to be
... -
shot,' he growled, 'It ought to be the
corporal, for the idea of leaving a man
on guard for sis hours Is absurd.'
So saying be entered the guard
house and found Jit 'deserted. 'The
devil!' ho exclaimed, and was sorely
puzzled, but after a few moments' re
flection, came to the conclusion that
the regiment had moved during the
night to some other part of the island.
Throwing his gun over his shoulders,
be Bet off across the island and pres
ently came to a peasant who was
plowing in a field.
3Iy good man,' said the soldier,
can you tell me which way the
French troops have gone?'
'By water,' answered the peasant,
surprised at seeing the solitary sol
dier. 'I don't know where they have
gone, but at 2 o'clock this morning
they Bailed with the greatest haste
and in the completest silence.'
'Gone!' said the sentry, 'and they
have abandoned me! I shall beset
down as a deserter. Confound that
corporal he not only left me on
watch six hours but be has ruined my
reputation dishonored me.. t Now I
understand poor Capuoin's visit; he
came to warn me that they were go
ing, and I, dull fool that I was, could
not understand him. Good dog, and
I kicked him the first time one of
our men ever struck him. Oh, Cap
uoin, Capncin, why didn't you think
of tearing the corporal's coat, too?,
And the sentinel burst into tears of
regret and despair.
IV.
'Come, come, my son,' Bald the
peasant, kindly, 'don't give way so.
Crying won't mend matters. Stay
here ; you can't do anything else. If
the French return and take you, I
will explain everything. I need a la
borer, vigorous and intelligent, like
yourself. Come with me and I will
feed, lodge' aud clothe you, and see
that you have something in your
pooket every Sunday night for a Bun
day frolic'
'I accept your offer thankfully,'
said FIrmin Bonard, 'and you shall
see that a Frenoh eoldler is not leas
faithful to the plow by which he gains
a livelihood, than he wqb to the flag
of bis distant country.'
v.
As the farm of Peter Baxen, the
peasant with whom FIrmin Bonard
had fallen In, was one of the largest
in the island, the soldier returned to
his old calling, did not lack for oppor
tunities to show ,hls skill and Indus
try, and speedily convinced tho rich
peasant of his value.
'My friend,' be Bald to FIrmin one
day, 'I love you as I would my own
son.'
'If It were not,' replied FIrmin,
'that my old father in France waits
and hopes anxiously for my return, I
should never care to leave Rugen.'
'You will see him once more,' said
tho farmer; 'and when you go to
France to see him, why should you
not bring him back to Bugen with
with you? That, howover, we can
talk of at some future time. To-day
I wish to speak to you concerning ray
daughter.'
A Flush covered the young French
man's face, as the peasant's keen eye
saw. 'If I am not wrong,' be con
tinued, 'you and she are very friend
ly?' . Ji5UJi3ffli5ieJl. BPjneiuiDgunr-

In fact,' the old man went on, 'the
neighbors Bay you are in love with
her.'
'What? Who Bays so? I Bwear to
you, sir, that I have never addressed
to your daughter one word which
would make her aware'
'Precisely, and that Is why she has
desired me to nuk you to. You shall
marry her. I have already promised
her that it would be so, and she hug
ged me bo for a quarter of an hour by
the clock that I really thought she
would strangle me.'
FIrmin hugged him too, and a fort
night later became the husband of the
old man's only child, tho rich, pretty
and amiable Amelia.
Four years passed away four years
of toil and love. Firmin Bonard
thought often of France, but came to
Xojcgefchjs. technical desertion. Tbe
prattling of his two ohildren, the em
braces of bis wife, were a present that
answered for the future; small won
der that ho forgot tho past.
Bo matters went on till one morn
ing the signal was made that several
vessels were in sight ; then as they
drew nearer the word went round the
island :
'It is the French ! They are going
to land!'
VI.
'It is the French ! They are going
to land!'
Tho words canio to Firmin Bon
ard'e ears like alarm guns, and ho felt
that ho was a lost man. A sudden
thought oame to him, however, and
reassured him somewhat; dashing to
his dwelling, be put on bis old uni
form and shako and ran to tho spot
where somo five years before he had
been so strangely abandoned.
Soon barges filled with soldiers were
seen to put off from the ships that
bad rounded to the dropped anchor.
In the bow of one was a big white
poodle that barked joyously on seeing
the solid ground onco more.
Firmin Bonard saw the dog and
fancied that he recognized in him old
Capuoin, and his eyes filled with
tears.
Still the barges approached; Capu
cln it wnsCapucin, indeed evident
ly recognized the island, looked round
eagerly, espied the sentry, then stand
ing on bis hind legs gave one raptur
ous bowl and plunging Into the eea
swam with all his might shoreward.
An iustant later and the boats were
within hailing distauce.
Who goes there?' shouted FIrmin
Bonard in a voice of thunder.
Who goes there yourself?' answer
ed one of Davoust's staff from the
leading boat ; 'who'are you, anyhow?'
Firmin Bonard, private of the Sixty-eighth,
of the line, on guard.'
On guard ? How long have you
been on 'guard?'
'Since 12 o'clock on the night of
May 13, 1S07.'
At this reply every ono burst out
laughing. The first boat's prow bad
not quite touched, the strand when
Capucln bad scrambled up the steep
rock and with a tremendous bound
cast himself, barking furiously, into
the armB of bis old friend.. Barks,
gamboling, somersaults, licking of
bands, ice, feet all Imaginable dem
onstratvna'of cinino inv.
'Gooiold fellow,' sobbed the
dier, jHth tears rolling down his
cheeki 'tear my coat and muddy it as
mucins you like to-day, and I won't
Bay aivthing. I remember when I
Btruckyou for showing me all your
affeottn and intelligence.'
VII.
Whb he had somewhat recovered
from Is emotion, FIrmin Bonard,
follow d by the faithful dog, went
down 5 tbe beaoh to greet his com
rades aid tell bis story. Luokily tbe
corpora, now an officer on Davoust's
staff, vbs there and could corroborate
it. Thejregiment feasted him royally,
and hln return invited every one to
the ffrm, where be and his wife did
the hmors cordially.
It tob not long ere the news reaoh
ed Marshal Davoust's ears. He laugh
ed hes-tlly at FIrmin Bonard'9 strata
gem, ind having satisfied himself
tbat'tfe soldier's antecedents wero ir
reproachable, ordered his discharge to
be maWout in due form.
'Farjiejt from me,' said the Marsh
al, 'ftfpr, he has been on watch for
fiveyefrs, without being relieved, to
send tbie gallantellow before a oourt
martia).' Firmin Bonard remained on tbe
farm. He visited France that year
and brought bis father back to the
Island of, Rugen. His ohildren and
grandoplldren to-day hold the most
important positions there, and their
family is known as "tho family of
the Frenoh sentry.'
When., the French again withdrew
from the-lslaud, Capucln resigned his
commission in the Sixty-eighth of
the line. He bad had enough of glo
ry, and the quiet life of abundance
and happiness that his friend led at
tho farm.'Was more to his taste. He
came tor understand wise dog that
lifo on tbe farm might be quite as
pleasant as life in camp, and that
there were infinitely fewer dangers
in it., ;
So Capucln remained at the farm.

boHtfanTPut tho meat into cold

water,,aud let It grow warm slowly.
This dissolves the gelatin, allows the
albumen to disengage, and diffuses
tbe eavory part of tbe meat. But if
tbe soup Is over a hot fire, the albu
men coagulates and hardens the meat,
prevents tbe water from penetrating,
and the savory part from disengaging
itself. Thus tho broth will be with
out flavor,:and the meat tough. Allow
about two tablespoon fuls of salt to four
quarts of soup, where there are mauy
vegetables, and one and a half where
there are few. Be eure not to leave
any fat floating on tho surface. A
quart of water, or a little less, to a
pound,of meat, is a good rule. Soup
made of uncooked meat Is as good the
second day, if heated to tho boiling
point. If more water Is needed, use
boiling hot water, as cold or luke
marm spoils tho soup. It is said that
potatoe water is unhealthy, therefore
do not boil potatoes in soup, but boil
elsewhere, and add them when near
ly cooked. Keep tho vessel tight in
which you boil soup, that the flavor
be not lost. Never leave soup in met
al pots, as sometimes a family is thus
poisoned. Thickened soups require
more seasoning, nearly double the
quantity used for thin soups.
A Practical YIcw.
Some lawyers take very practioal
views of cases in which they are re
tained. In a certain town in Mis
souri, Squire G was defending a
obarge of malpraotlce. A colored
man was suing for damages, his wife
having died shortly after an opera
tion for the removal of a cancer.
When it came to Squire G 's turn
to cross-examine the plaintiff, he ask
ed : "Mr. Wilson, how old was your
wife when ehe died ?"
"About forty-five, sir."
"Been in feeble health a long lime,
had Bhe not, Mr. Wilson, ond cost
you a great deal for medicine and
help?"
"Yes, sir."
"How old Is" your present wife?"
"About thirty-five, sir."
"Is she etout and hcaltby, Mr. Wil
Bon?" "Yes, air."
"Then, Mr. Wilson, will you please
state to this jury how.you are dam
aged in this case?"
Mr. Wilson bad evidently never ta
ken this view of the matter, and could
ruake no answer. Tbe good and true
men thought be bad made rather a
good thing by his bereavement, and
brought in a verdict for the defend
ant. It Is often remarked that "tbe boy
is father to tho man." This may be
true, but we know that after the
snow-ball haslknocked off the man's
hat, it is father to the boy than it is to
the next corner, by a long eight, and
the man will find it out If he la fool
ish enough to chase the boy. J5r

sol-fNashvlUo Cor. N.Y. Herald.
Many are tbe Interesting scenes of
Jackson's lifo which his biographer,
Parton, has omitted and not brought
to light. When a boy I saw him scare
and put to flight twenty thousand
men ; the occasion was this : Grey-
bound, a Kentucky horse, had beaten
Double Head, a Tennessee horse, and
they were afterward matohed for
$5,000 a side, to be run on tbe Clover
Bottom Course. My nnole, Josephus
H. Conn, oarried me on horseback be
hind him to see tbe race. He set me
on the cedar fenoe, and told me to re
main till he returned. In those days
not only counties, but States, in full
feather, attended tbe race course as a
great national amusement, and the
same is still kept up in France and
England, under the fostering care of
each government.
There must have been twenty thou
sand persons present. I never wit
nessed Buch fierce betting between
tho States. Horses and negroes were
put up. A large pound was filled
with horses and negroes upon the re
sult of this race ; the time had now
arrived for both competitors to appear
on the track. I heard some loud
talking, and, looking down the track,
saw, for the first time, General Jack
son, riding slowly on a gray horse,
with long pistols held in each hand.
I think they were as long as my arm
and had a mouth that aground squir
rel could enter. In bis wake followed
my uncle Conn, Stokely, Donelson,
Pat?bn, Anderson, and several others
as fierce as so many bulldogs. As
General Jackson led tbe van and ap
proached the judges' Btand he was
rapidly talking and gesticulating. As
be came by me he paid that ho had
conclusive proof that this was to bo a
jockey race, that Greyhound was seen
In tho wheat field the night before,
which disqualified him for tho race,
and that his rider was to receive $500
to throw it off, and "by the eternal"
ho would 6hoot the first man who
brought his horse upon the track ;
ithat tho people's money should not
be stolen from them in this manuer.
He talked Incessantly, and the spittle
rolled from his mouth and the fire
from his eyes. I have seen bears and
wolves put at bay, but he was oertaln
ly the most ferocious looking animal
I bad ever Been. His appearance
and mannerstruck terror to tbe hearts
of 20.000 peoplefv.Iftbeyfelt as I did
I. i i ', " it. iv" ' ;" "P-1. T.' "&Lr
every one'expected'to be'Blain. He
announced to the parties If they
wanted some lead lu their hides to
first bring their horses on the track,
for "by tho eternal'' ho would kill the
first mau that attempted to do eo;
there was no response to this chal
lenge, and, after waiting some time
and they failing to appear, General
Jackson said it was a great mistake in
the opinion of some, that he had act
ed hastily, without consideration.
He would give the scoundrels affair
trial, and to that end be would consti
tute a court to Investigate this matter,
who would hear tho proof and do just
ice to all parties.
Thereupon he appointed a sheriff to
keep order ond Ave judges to hear the
case. Proclamation was made that
tbe Court was open and was ready to
prooeed to business, ond for the par
ties to appear and defend themselves.
No one appearing, General Jaokaon
introduced the witnesses, proving
the bribery of Greyhound's rider, who
was to receive $500 to throw off the
race, bad received $250 in advance,
and tbe Greyhound bad been turned
into the wheat field tho night before.
He again called upon tbe parties to
appear and contradict this proof and

in tbe premises, which, in a few mo

the facts proved. I was still on the
fence forming one line of tbe large
pound containing tbe property bet on
tbe race. Eaoh man was anxious to
get back his property.
General Jackson waved his hand
and announced the decision and said:
"Now, gentlemen, go calmly and
In order, and each man take his own
property." When tbe word was giv
en the people came with a rush. It
was more terrible than any army
with banners; they came bulging
against the fence, and, In tho struggle
to get over they knocked It down for
hundreds of yards. I wa3 overturned
and nearly trampled to death. 'Each
man got his property, and thnstbe

exhibition of the most extraordinary
courage. He did that day what It
would have required 2,000 armed men

Stories of Brute Intelligence.
A writer In 2fature says : "In my
family we had a tabby oatwho, when
turned out, would let herself in at
another door by climbing up some
list nailed round it, then pressing up
tho click-latch, pushing tho door,
with herself hanging on it, away from
the post, eo as to prevent.the latoh
falling back into ltsvplace, and then
dropping down and walking baok to
tho Are. I knew a skye terrier who,
being told to carry a fishing-rod,
carefully experimented along its
length, to find its oenter of gravity.
In oarrylng it he came to a narrow
path through a wood. There drop
ping the rod he took it by the end,
and dragged it by the end lengthwise
till tbe open road was gained, when
he took the rod by the center of grav
ity again aud went on. This could
not be a copy of human aotlons, but
tbe result of original reasoning.'
Another writer gives the following
on tbe authority of the lato Mr.
Dawes, the astronomer: Being busy
in bis garden, and having a large
bunch of keys in his hand, he gave it
to a retrlever.to hold for him until he
was at liberty. Going into the house
soon after, be forgot to reclaim tbe
the keys. The remembrance of what
he had done with them only returned
to him when he required them in the
evening. He then recalled that ho
had given them to his dog, and for
gotten to take them again. Calling
tbe animal and looking impressively
in his face, ho said, "My keys!
fetch me my keys." Tho dog looked
wistful and puzzled for a moment
and then bounded off to tho garden,
bis master following. He went
straight to the root of an apple tree,
scratched up tho keys and brought
them. May wo not fairly put Into
words the dog's train of reasoning
thus: "My master has given me
these keys to hold ; he has forgotten
them ; I cannot carry them all day;
but I must put tbemin safety where
I can And them again ?" A terrier
like dog named Ugly mug had a pood
le for a companion. Whenever
TJglymug saw signs of a family meal
be inveigled the poodle into a laby
rinthine shrubbery under pretense of
seeking for rats, and when the latter
was fairly Intent on its game, TJgly
mug would sneakback to enjoy by
himself what ho could get from the
family table.

Mystery,
They are having a high old time
near Rochester, N. Y. For somo
time there has been mysterious dig
ging on the north bank of Deep Hol
low Creek. It has been done at night
by tho light of dark-lanterns. They
ara digging for burled gold three
cart-Iouds of it. Once upon a time a
gentleman, now deceasod, dreamed
tho same dream three times the enme
night. The spirit of an old squaw ap
peared uuto him, and told him that
three loads of specie had been buried
in that region. She had been left in
charge of It, but found it a lonesome
place and was anxious to be released
from such irksome guardianship. In
the course of the dream she conduct
ed him to the spot where- the gold was
hidden. When ho woke up ho went
to the bank of the creek and found
the place. He engaged a man to
"prospect" for him, and while they
were driving some steel rods into the
ground blue flames came up out of
the holes. This incident was
rather unpleasant, but the next
inatant their hair began to curl In
earnest. On the wooden bridge over
the creeic tpFnred a wagon drawn
by two fiery steeds tbe identical ve
hlole which had been Been In tho
dream. There was a tremendous
rumble, as of thunder, when the cart
approached the bridge, but when it
was driven off thero was no noise
naught but a "musical bush." The
two men looked at each other, shook
their heads and walked home very
solemnly, and they never went baok
to look for burled gold. But tbe
legend hud been handed down by
their neighbors, and now the digging
is going on without Interruption.

are sure 3'our friend 13 able to see you
without harm.
2. Enter and Ieave'tlie house, and
move about tho room, quietly.
3. Carry u cheerful face, and speak
cheerful words. .
4. In order to cheer, you need tell
no lies.
5. If your friend is very sick, do not
fall Into gay and careless talk in the
attompt to be cheerful.
-6.Do not ask questions, and thus
oblige your friend to talk.
7. Talk about something outside,
and not about the disease and circum
stances of tbe patient.

monotony of tbesiak room ;a flower,
or even a pieturejhrhich you can loan
for a few days. i
10. If desirable, somSyittle delicacy
to tempt the appetite w be well be
stowed ; but nothing couM be a more
complete illustration of ' mistaken
kindness than the common custom of
tempting sick persons to eat eucb un
wholesome things as rich cakes, pre
serves, sweetmeats, etc.
11. Stay only a moment, or a few
minute3 at the longest, unless yoacan
be of some help..
Small Things.
Every farmer should have a room
tight and waroj.vrhich he can lock,
and where be can keep his small tools
says'an exchange. Then he wants a
good, solid work bench, with an iron
vise on one side and a wooden one on
tho other. For iron working ho
wants a solid piece of iron for an an
vil, a Beven-pound steel-faced ham
mer, a riveting hammer, one large
and one small cold chisel, two or three
punches, from one-fourth to three
eight Inches, a rimmer and counter
sink, to bo used with bitstock, a sorew
plate that will out a screw from one
eighths luoh ; then with round iron
of tho various sizes and ready-made
nuts, he can make any bolt be wish
es. For carpeuter work, he wants a
square, a shaving horse, drawing
knife, set of planes, augers from one
half to two Inches, a fine band saw,
with coarse cross-cut and rip saw,
large oross-cut saw for logs, and a
grind atone.
Bo Cautions.
Pauso before you repeat an injuri
ous story about a woman. Say to
yourself, "This may not be true, or It
may be exaggerated,' unless you have
proof of tbe veracity of your Inform
ant. Peoplo sometimes toll false
hoods, tbey often make mistakes,
and tbey somotlmes "hear wrong.'
There are aurioular illusions as well
optical illusions. Take all thsso
things into consideration before you
even believe. As for repeating the
story, ask yourself If It Is necessary.
It sometimes is necessary. Then do
it with the fear of God and the re
membrance of the golden rulo before
you. Let us give the helping hand,
and not the downward push ; so may
the nugels reach their hands to?
ward us wheu we stand In need.

Bhubarb deserves a special place,

give it freo after manuring, forit paya

be planted about three feet apart, one

Brine n Poison to Pigs.
The pohonous property of pork or
other meat brines, when fed to pigs,
is known to many, and, years ago,
was mentioned by tho veterinarian
Younlt. The Rural New Yorker, re
ferring to tho subject, eays quite a
large number of cases aro on record.
In which some have died in conse
quence of a small quantity of brine
mixed with their feed, under tho im
pression that it would answer the
same purpose, ond be equally aa ben
eficial as the admixture of a small
quantity of salt; and where one caso
has proved fatal, there are scores in
which pigs havo Buffered moro or less
severely.
Baked Lima Beans.
This will be a new dish with many,
says the New York Jlcrald, and will
be liked by the lovers of beans. Wash
a pint bowl of beans ; put them on In
cold water; wlien'thc water bolls odd
a lump of baking soda the size of
pea; let them boll up a minute or
two, drain, and cover again with boil
ing water. Cook slowly for two hours,
or until the beans are tender, adding
nearly half a pound of salt (not
Btnoked) bacon ; then put them in a
pudding dull In their own juice, tbo
pork in the center; dot over with
lumps of butter, pprlnkie with pep
per, and bake for an honr.
