"My dear Marion, I believe you re Ihe only disinterested friend I have in the world ; but if you knew bow tired I am of what you call my immunities, you w ould not try to persuade me from my purpose if you knew how I long to e treated, nee ;n my life, as simple Clara Yinicg, without a penny to my name.''. The petted heiress toesed a diamond bracelet amore the glittering treasures of her jcwell box as she spoke, and Ironed at her friend cppealinglv. They were totally unlike, these two who were so inseparable. Marion Barclay was dark eyed and stately as an Egyp tian queen; Clara Vining was a blonde ord blur (d, like a daughter of the sun. ' '-It's sucn a very odd whim, dear," mnrmured Marion. "I am sure every Ixdy Jovcs job. "What have you done with Lucien Verner? He was disin terested.' "They're all alike, I believe. Read that, Marion,'' Clara said, taking a letter frrm Ler escritoire. "I supposed he happened to be writing to some one else at the ft me time, and the other letter sot into my cnveloie. But it was a lucky mistake for me. I never want to see him again." Misfi Barclay busily examined the bil let, lit r friend designated the offend ing parage, in r.hich the writer alluded to "the beaut'fil CIhth" cs leingvery Jar fie in lJi iuart, and chan-cter:7.ed her golden cluurat as excelling all others In his tyis. You poor, dear Clara,' commenced Miss Barclay. "But men are not so selfish as that." "I em fatitfied that they are," re torted the heiress, with mingled petu laRce and wisdom; "at any rate I am re solved on this experiment. It will be refreshing to be nobody for once in my iife, at any rate. You will keep my secret, won't you?" she said coaxingly. M01t, certainly. But what will pro pie think! You are certain to be found out, Clara. Any one who has ever seen you before would know you at once, no matter what you were." "I don't know about that. I don't look like the same girl with my hair taken out of curl and dressed plain. I've been looking over the advertise ments this morning, and there's a family near Chilton that wants a chambermaid. Of course I couldn't undertake to cook or be laundress, or anything of that sort. But anybody can make beas, and I'm sure these people don't know. What I want of you, dear, is to write me a character." Mai ion did as she was bidden, but she looked dissppiovinjly still. "How will you account for your ab sence?" the asked. People can be given to understand that I am visiting some friends at a dis tance. That is easy enough." 'What if this Miss Milbur," glancing at the advertisement C ara brought her. "should not want you. She may hare Mlready hired one." I shall try somewhere else in that case," said Ciara, with decision. 1'So provoking !" fretted Marion Bar clay to her half-brotker, Walter. "I've maneuvered so long to bring you two together, and now to think that she should get this absurd whim is her bead I" "I say, Marion," exclaimed the young gentleman addressed, "if Miss Vining is chambermaid, why can't I be coach man I"1 "But perhaps Miss Wilbur don't keep a carriage." "I'll trust that to my luck, which has , been bad so long it's ti ue for a change. If she hasn't any use for a coachman, I'll offer to serve her in some other capacity. I'm not going to be cheated out nf my chance of the heiress without a strug gle.'' "It's fortunate that 6he dont know you. I declare Walter, if you play jour part well, I don't fee what's to hinder you in winning the day. Clara is the moat romantic girl you ever taw. You musn't cultivate coachmanship at the experss of romance and good look," Walter Sloan, the spendthrift an,d ad TssJ5W. thought hu lack had cUnl y turned when Is found t Mies Wdlbnr The VOLUME III. thereof waa willing, for a consideration, to sham sick a few days aad reccommend nim in his place. He bad few acquaintance in the city, and calculated on having so difficulty in evading these. Mis Wllbnr was an old maid, accord ing to the Boat angular understanding of the word. She did not look as though she bad ever been anything else. She early discovered that her new chamber maid was not an adept In her business. Bridget Maloae, as the girl called her self, could neither make abed nor sweep a room properly, aad Clara received the full benefit of being uBobody" for once in her life, for Mim IKlbur, while she would keep ber becaase of her indiffer- ence about wages, leetarad her mnspar inffly for ber ignoraaa m the daties she pretended t be able a perform. In fact Mies Wilbur's toagw was so sharp sometimes as to bring the tears to Cla ra's face. Miss Wilbur's own maid, who was a very nice, lady-like sort of a person, but somewhat ihrewish Hke ber mistress, did duty in a like manner whenever that lady was not on guard. I nope," said Miss Wilbur, sharply one morning, "yon will keep my neph ew's apartments ia decent order while he stays. I shall be very much dis pleased if j on do not. Mr. Verner's so particular. y 6be did not observe the start Bridget gave and would have bee utterly at a lose for its meaning if she bad. "I doat care," declared Bridget, as soon as she was alone; "III stay ail the sime, if it Ss Luciea Verner. If he recognises aae. 111 pretend to have lost my money." She was watching from the upper landing when he came, and it was Lucien Verner. She took to dowdjing herself sfcer that as much as possible aad went about ber duties with an old hood pulled over her face. She did not really know whether she wanted to oe recognised or not. Somebody else bad recognised Verner also. Walter Sloan uttered an oath when be found who Miss Wilbur's nephew was. "If he recognizes my heiress, and she finds that be didVt write that letter after all, it might make a difference." He had made good progress, however, with the lady's maid, Miss King, as she was called, and for fear Verner, who was an old acquaintance, should recognize him, he summoned the real coachman back to his place, after hating expedited hb business with Miss King by asking and receiving her consent to become his wife. Marion Barclay was in raptures at the report of his success. But both were anxious while the heiress and Lucien Verner remained under the same roof. Lucien Verner, meanwhile, withoat really having any suspicions, regarded Miss Bridget with manifest uneasiness and curiosity. Every movement, every transient glimpse of this girl, whose face he had seen but once, anonly for a moment then, reminded him of one to whom all the devotion of bis manhood had gone forth beyond recall. The consummation c t this little game at the cross purposes cane in this faahion : Bridget ha 1 not been in attendance in the dining room since thi arrival of Mr. Verner, owing to the fact that Miss Wilbur was afraid to trait her there. On Christmas Day, an hour before dinner, the girl who usually waited was taken ill, and Bridget was summoned to fill her p. ace. With inward consterna tion and outward equanimity, she pre pared to do so, and was standing de murely at her post when Miss Wilbur and her nephew entered. Lucien Verner hesitated one puzzled instant, then he advanced, pale with surprise and joy, and extended his hand. "Miss Vining?" V m m m I am so glad you have tired of that foolish masquerading business, dear," said Marion Barclay to her friend Miss Vining one morning, as Clara, restored to her own aristocratic belongings, rocked softly i aad fro in a velvet cushioned easy chair. " I have a brother come since your eclipse. May I bring him this evening f" li am engaged this evening to go ontwith Mr. Verner," murmured Clara Yinin? timidly. "In fact I may as well tell you Lucien explained about that letter which angered me so, and we are to be married, Marion, love:" Marion Barclay barely contained her consternation till the cot some and told Walter Sloan "Hre yon a picture of Mint Vining! demanded Walter, upon whom a hint of the truth began to dawn, aa his sister told ber story. Marion brought aim one. He glanced at it, aad grew pale aad then red. "That is not the girl I've been making lore to," be said angrily.

Baa. He was a mgnificent Scotch dog, of a great size, and braver than a lion. He bad but one bad habit when I had him to see a cat was to fly at it. This ended in its worrying to death a favorite grimalkin belonging to a neighbor, and the catastrophe raising a fearful coaa motinn. 8a, with many regrets, I sent him to Brf chin, fifteen miles off. There, early on the following Sunday morning, Bob was observed with head and tail erect, and a resolute purpose in every look and movement, taking bis way toward home. Whether be had taken the road or gone to some path across the country, 1 know not: bnt when I was leaving the church about 1 o'clock, I was met by the beadle, with bis old face lighted up with an unusual expression of glee, and exclaiming for my doS and Johnay had always been fast friends uYou mauna put him awa', minister, though be should worry a' the cats in the parish." On going to the manse, I found Bob outside the gate, as flat and motionless as it he had been stone dead. It was plain he knew as well as I did that he bad been banished, and had re turned without leave, and was liable to be hanged, drowned, or shot, or otherwise punished at my will. I went up to him and stood over him in silence. He lay aa if be bad been killed and flattened by a heavy roller, only that, with his large beautiful eyes half shat, he kept up winking and pleadirg expression. Though I might not go the length of of Johnny in making free of all the cats in the parish, there waa no resisting the dumb but eloquent repeal. I gaye way, and exclaiming ia cheerfal tones, "Is this you, Bob?" In an instant, know ing that be was forgiven, he rose at one bound into the air, circling round and round me, and in his joy leaping nearly over xay head." Rcmarlablt Animal. Hearty Bnakftsts. In a large majority of cases says the Journal of Health, it will be found that the best and heartiest meal should be eaten in the morning. If the closing repast of the day has not been eaten too late, or has not been excessive in quan tity, or indigestible in quality, the stomach will be rested and active in the morning, after the individual has en joyed a cool bath. The stomach will re spond quickly with the necessary gastric juice for the solution of food, and, if a fair amount of exercise is taken during the day, a large mass of food will be assimilated and converted into blood and tissue. With a good substantial breakfast, no great amount ol food will I be required during the remainder of the day. One further meal will be ample, I and that might better be taken at from F two to three o'clock ia the afternoon than at any period if business engage- s men's only permitted it. The breakfast may be made from any kind of wholesome food, and the fewer kinds the better. The dinner should be I light and readily digested, if sound sleep is desired and strong appetite and perfect powers of digestion next day. If hunger comes, a bol of sweet milk r and w ell cooked mush of Indian-meal, or other unbolt ed grain, will allay it, and will digest quickly. One "square meal in every twenty-four hours is all that can be taken care of by many weak stomachs, snd more than this is an ex cess and induces headache, nausea and distress. If dinners were abandoned, and especially late and heavy dinners, myriads of dyspeptics would be cured. But under the exigencies of city life a dinner cannot well be avoided. This need not be the tremendous meal it is customary to make it, if the breakfast be substantial and nutriciour, not a th ing of slops and biscuits, as It too often is. Closets and Caahaftrts. Architects have sometimes much to answer f jr. In old bouses, who ever saw any provision made fr the ventilation of closets and cupboards! And modern erections are seldom in this respect much better off. It is a serious omission in all cases, and doubly objectionable in connection with places devoted to the keeping cf food or the storing of linen against the periodical washing day. This is a point which no good housewife desires to have enlarged upon. New, a little trouble will go far to remedy the evil complained of. A. tew holes ia the door will be found of great service, aad if practicable, the walls of the closet or cupboard should be perforated so that a thorough draught may be obtained. Perhaps in addition to being dose, ear closets and cupboards are damp aad fsvorable to the growth of mildew. Then we cannot do better than lay down ia them a trajful of qoicar-lime, which will absorb the moisture and reader the air pure. It will be necessary, of course, to renew the lime at iatervals aa it be comes fully slacked. This last remedy will be found of uae in safes and strong rooms, whera valuable docameats are often injured by the damp air.

According to the best Oriental scholars, Siddhartha, the son of Suddbodana, King of a large territory on the confines of Oude and Xepaul, ws born about the beginning of the aixfh century B. C. Up to the age of thirty he lived pretty much as described above; then; escap ing from his' father's kingdom, be became a religious mendicant, and diligently studied the lore of the Brahman. Find ing this unsatisfactory, he took refuge in rigid ascetcism, and for many years occupied himielf in endeavoring to dis cover the causes of things. Having at last, as he thought, succeeded, he devoted the rest of his life to preaching the new gospel, whereby the world was to be led to a knowledge of the truth. His converts were many and influential, sev eral royal families becoming earnest and devoted propagandist. He is sup osed to have died at Eusinagara, in Onde, at the age of eighty, in the 3 ear 543 B. C. Buddhism, which has now existed for 2, 40 years, must bo regarded as the pre vailing religion of the world. Though almost extinct in Hindustan, the land of its birth, it holds undivided sway at Ceylon, and ovtr the whole E is tern Peninsula. It divides the adherence of the Chinese with the systems of Confu cius and Lao-tse, claiming perhaps two thirds of the population. It also pre vails to a large extent in Japan and in Central Asia, reaching to the extreme north of Siberia, and even in Swedish Lapland. According to H&ssel, the numerical value of the various important religions of tbe world may be estimated thus: Christains of all denominations, 120,000,000; Jewn, nearly 4,000,000; Mohammedans, 252,000,000; followers of the Brahman religion, 111,000,000: Bud dhists, 315,000,000. Belgratia. Sagacioas Canine. The instinct of a dog in man cases almost equals the reasoning rowers ol some human being?, especially where some bit of cunning is required to be performed. A large do,? belonging to one of our citizens, and who usually accompanies his master to market in the capacity ot porter, was intrusted with a fine steak, securely wrapped in paper, to carry home. Tbe animal grasped tbe parcel between bis teetb, aul trotted homeward beside bis master. A short distance from the butcher', the gentle man entered another store, leaving the dog with the parcel standing on tbe sidewalk. Shortly two vagabond-looking curs arrived on the sKt, and began snuffing about. Finally the larger of the two curs began growling and bark ing at tbe guardian of the steak, who stood this sort of thing for some time in a calm and dignified mannei, till finally, his bullying tormentors probably having applied some opprobrious epithet to him, be opened bis mouth to reply, and ot course dropped the steak upon tbe ground. The vagabond cur retreated, and the other dog, now fully exf speratcd, set of! in pursuit of hkn. In an instant, vagabond cur No. 2. who had been standing off a short distance, apparently a silent spectator of tbe scene, sprang forward and seized tbe steak in his mouth, and put off in an opposite direc tion. Now just here is tbe pith of whst was first remarked. In an alley, not far from tbe scene of this little canine epi sode, were two curs holding a high festi val oyer a rich, juicy steak, and these two curs were the identical ones engaged in tbe transaction previously related. Who can say that this was not a put-up job between these two outcastes of canine society? Greta Bay (Wit ) GazttU. An Old-Time Elopement. One May day, between ninety and one hundred years ago, John, tenth Earl ot Westmoreland, while dining with Mr. Child, the banker, said : "Give me your opinion in this case. Suppose you were in love with a girl, and had no hope of getting her father's consent to your mar rying her, what would you do?" To which tbe unsuspecting banker replied : "Do! why, run away with her, to be sure-" A night or two afterward Lord Westmoreland eloped with Miss Sarah Anne Child in a post chaise and four. Tbe post chaise took Miss Sarah Anne on board somewbeie rear Berkley Square House. An alarm was given by the watchman, wbo found the ball door open. Mr. Child at once posted in pur suit, on tbe North road, and managed to gain on the runaways. It was not, how ever, until Northumberland was reached and entered that the second post chaise came within sight of the first, and then Lord WestmoreUna, standing up in his carnage, shot one of the leading horses of Mr. Child's vehicle, which was cap sized in consequence. This bold pro eaeding gave tbe lovers time to cross the border and get married by the Gretna Green blacksmith. Dcria the short interval between this match and the death of Robert Child, he never forgave Lord aad Lady Westmoreland. Bxzr CoLiors.

Have Been The Indianapolis Sentiml reports a lecture on counter irritants delivered by Dr. W. B. Fletcher, before a medical class in that city, and says: "The lec turer picked up a small bar of iron, ter minating in a kind of horavrhoe-ibaped disc, and proceeded to expound the fic tion and tbe reality about that frightful operation known as moxa. 'That piece of iron,' said the Doctor, 'once belonged to a rare and quaint old friend ot mine, Dr. Fishback. I remember how he used to call me Into his office and give me object lessons in moxa. He would heat this iron till it was white, and then ap ply it to bis back with his own hands. He never showed signs of agony or even distress at the time, but would frequently say that its reaction on tbe nervous sys tem waa something hard to bear, but this was not felt Jill some few days la ter. Tbe sensation is precisely what follows tbe application of a piece of ice to tbe nerves; it deadens them. The iron comes down and a little cloud ot white smoke goes up, and tbe pain felt at the exact time of the application is infinitesimal in fact, and nothing dread ful but in tbe imagination of the spec tators, wbo probably do more actual saflering than the patient" Xeasarlag by the Eye. Years ago, when we went to school in a little weather-beaten school-house, what exciting contests there used to be over the teacher's favorite exercise of having the scholars estimate with tbe eje the size and weight cf different ob jects in the room! He weald hold or his cane, and have each one tell bov long be thought it was, and it was . lucky child that could come within hal a foot of tbe right length. He wonk measure an urchin and then have th scholars try to re produce the measure on tbe wall. He would mark off an inch or a foot or a yard in some conspicuous place, and then see how near any body could come to chalking the same length upon tbe blackboard. Aad it was as tonishing bow wide astray one would go. Tbe fdet is, our ejes deceive us ridiculously even upon the commonest things. At first thought which should ycu say was the taller, a three-year-old child or a flour barrel! and could any thing but actual measurement convince jou that tbe samecLlkl was half as high as a six footer? There is an old saying that a child two years old is half as tall as he ever will be; and after a few ex periments in measuring one can easily believe It, but not before.- Botton Tran script. Training School For Women. In an article giving the plans for the extension and greater usefulness of a free training school for women the New York Tribune says : Tbe intention of tbe new officers is first to establish a cooking college, where women will be thoroughly trained in the cullinary art. There will be classes for those fitting for domestic service, and also for ladies whose educaaion has been neglected in this branch of housekeep ing. A class of 20 women can be taught at a time in the present school, wbo must bind themselves to attend three months, when, if they pass an examina tion, they receive a diploma. Clever women will sometimes be graduated in less time. Good character is tbe only requisite to admission to the school. Waitresses will be taught the duties of attendance in the dining-room. A res taurant will be opened, where well cooked meals will be served at a mod erate price. Waitresses in white caps and aprons will attend. Th present means of the Training School will only permit tbe teaching of cookiag and waiting; but it is the intention of tbe management to extend tbe work, when a training college in every branch of labor suitable for women, will be opened Machine sewing will not henceforth be taught ia this institution, except to those fitting as ladies' maids and family sewers. Tbe small prices paid by mer chants for this kind of labor renders it imp issible for women to sustain them selves decently at tbe machine. Pour cents onh is p id for making the felt skirts trimmed with three rows of plait ing, which sell for $3 75 a piece; 50 cents per dozen is paid for making skirts, and 4.75 per dozen for making ladies' cambric costumes, elaborately ruffled. It is proposed to teach hair dressing, gold and silver engraving, porcelain painting, and watch caking. Out in Greene county, on Salt Creek, they re finding coal at a depth of abovt 40 feet.

Tbe breeding ef poultry has become a very large and important branch of industry, especially at the East, where hundreds of persons have large sums invested in hoases, yards and fowls, and are engaged in rearing birds for fancy purposes. Tbe bnsine&s of raising ex hibition birds and fowls for breeding purposes is not alwsvj attended with profit, for, aside from other considera- Uy, a toward the ureateat strangers. A tiona, it requires considerable capital true genUeman will never forget that be and som time to builJ up a remunera- bound to exercise courtesj and klnd tive trade.

This thing helps to! make it pay the old, reliable breeders, and i as it should he Inbreeding for "fancy" purposes on of the greatest mistakes which begin ners are apt to make, s the one of cum msneing with too many varieties-, gener ally winding up with none. Unless a person has unusually good facilities, it is beet to be confined to two or three breeds at the furthest, and in most cases K would be my advice to make a speci ality of one kind, to the entire seclu sion of all others. They then can have an opportunity to have plenty cf exer- cise without any danger of mixing with any other breed; and will, also, bare a chance to get as much animal matter as they need during the warm weather In shape ot bugs and inavcts of different kinds. Keeping more than one variety necessitates building separate yards and bouses, aud also, In many ways, gives additional labor and expense. If you nave time and money to spare, and it re quires both, as well aa plenty of tact, commence with a determination to sue cced, and sooner or later success will be achieved. There is always plenty of of room at the top of the business, and all should strive to produce as perfect specimens aa the means at their com mand is capable of producing. I aim at thoroughness in all my stock breeding, and also advocate it strongly, well know ing Us direct as well as its indirect advantages pecuniarily and otherwise. In raising large numbers of fowls for market purposes, it is a very mistaken idea to have them all in one bouse, for when the number goes over one or two hundred, it must be a very large and well arranged hoase indeed, to accom modate them properly and keep them healthy. The beat plan if one wishes to produce a barge number of best fowls is to have houses, and cheaply and well built as possible, large enough to contain 200 fowls or under, without crowding tbem so as to engender disease. This plan we have found to be iir preferable to hav ing a mammoth house, and we shall con tinue tbe plan on a somewhat extended scale this coming year. I intend to keep a regular account of expense of feed, care, etc., together with receipts, and will, at the u roper time, lay the ac- rnnnf hfnr th rarlra nf thi. nnT tnr th.lr n.mul nH rnn. IHr.tin-i W , , . .. . . , , have always made the raising of poultry ,, , . . . . pay well, and receipts varying accord- ing to circumstance, but not without expending both time and care upon them. In regard to tbe best fowls to raise for market purposes, the production of eggs being ot mere secondary impor tance, my liking is decidedly in favor of I tbe Asiatics, the Brshmss and tbe Coch ins, as breeds to croee upon ordinary fowls. Iu my flock, rom which I rsise my market fowls, I have now a mixture of the Brahma and common fowls tbe Light Brahma aad many of them are very fine and large. I have lately pur chased several Partridge Cochin cocks, which I intend to let run with my com mon flock, and have every reason to ex pect a good lot ot fine chicks. Of course I have my flocks of thorough bred fowls, light and dark Brahmss snd P. Cochins, and at the end of tae breed ins: season all poor fowls, those not properly marked, are ruined into the flock ef common ones. Bc2a2i. sad invites him to be seated.

An article ia &ertbner'$ MolUy for February, entitled "A Hundred Thoa- "d Home.," raises expectations of an intercting account of how the home are built, but expends itself mainly in showing how the money lor them is prs- vided, and only incidentally tells any thing about the bouses themselves. , Philadelphia i. duubtlres, as the article says, a city of homes. Tae ample breadth of the city, the low pile of real rstate, the moderate percentage ia rent, all help to mike it so, and we doubt if in any other great city, out of England at lets, so lare a proportion of fsmilies occupy separate dwelling. , rca lhc J-ai of ground rents rsUb- lished there, which might be expected to check building, does not seem to wwrfc in that way. Tie great problem in l.n distribution of city populations 19 ! bring together as compactly as possible the various clarr. of inhabitants, their places ot occupation and amusement, and their means of supply. The English and American distribution, which gives up tbe whole centres of the towns to business, and establishes the residences in rings or quarters more or less remote, has advantages in some respects, but ia tolerably inconvenient and expensive. The system adopted in Paris and other great Continental citiee Vienna, Berlin, Brussels-which has longer been estab lished in Scotland and Southern Italy, we believe, meets the difficulty fairly. In its typical development it may b said to divide a city into measurably homogeneous lttyers, putting the busi ness bc'ow, and the residences above, the wealthier beneath and the poorer at the top; economizing space to tbe ut most, and provi ling all parts of tbe city with all classes of the population, and, in short, with all it needs for its daily life, thus avoiding an immense expendit ure of tim and money in moving the inhabitants back and forth. In Phila delphia at preseqt the problem Is met in a degree by the arrangement of the plan which provides between tbe mala streets secondary and narrower streets that give the opportunity to the poorer inhabitants, and so open all quarters of tbe town to the various classes of in habitants.
