OX THE TIDE ROCK. They cull 1110 " Dot," My real name is Dorothea, liul that beinsueh a mouth ful, I am generally known as " Dot." I am the 3'oiiiie-st of three, and having hat! my own way from my craille, it w:Cs not refused" me last Novetnher when my sister and her hushand offered to lake inc. abroad with them for the winter months. They had not long come from India, and, being sensible people, and detect ing our changeable climate, and like wise being in mortal terror of their lives, had decided on bidding adieu to the English coast until such time as the sun should condescend to shine there once more. As far as I am concerned I am always ready for a change and excitement of any description; so when dear old ".lack," my brother-in-law, said, ' Come, Dot, pack tip your traps and join us," 1 was nothing lot h, and the last, week in November lounil us comfort ably installed in the Hotel Angleterre, at i.iarritz, with the glorious sun pour ing in at our windows, and the bluest of blue seas dashing about on the rocks below. I have heard some people say there is nothing to sec at Riarritz. Ah, blind and miserable creatures! "Where are your senses where your eyes? Did you ever look elsewhere upon such a sea such rocks? Have you stood by tho Rocher do la Vierge and heard the magnificent boom of the waves as they canie plunging into that cavern near, and, being" repulsed, dash indignantly fifty feet above it. Rut 1 am getting romantic, and that is not ltiv style n.L mine, certainly little " Dot's." No, indeed, tho idea makes me die with laughing. My sister Geraldinc (or ".Tern," as I persist in calling her, which makes her very mad) goes in for being delicate, so .lack and 1 used to take long walks and rides together; he is a dear, good old fellow, and we are tremendous friends; but, somehow, notwithstand ing, after 1 had been a couple of weeks orso at Biarritz I began to feel the time hang a little heavily on my hands. The fact was (I acknowledge my weakness), there were no men worth speaking to now, but a collection of the lame, halt and blind, whom I believe usually frequent these places, and make life a burden to one by perpetually re counting their several ills, ailments, etc. Preserve me from them all ! Well, as I said before, it was getting a little slow for poor me, and I was be ginning to wish I had not left dear old much-abused England, -when. I had an adventure. Being hard put to it for amusement, I would sometimes take a book and saunter down upon the rocks, there remaining for hours at a time. I am a desperate tom-bov, and can i-limb and scramble splendidly, much to the annoyance of Geraldine, who de clares that I get as brown as a berry, and my hands are not fit to be seen. However that may be true, scramble I do, and one auspicious day (never to be forgotten) I got a good way out among - some dear old craggy bits of rock, and, lindiug a snug little corner in which I just fined, I settled myself down easily and began Jo read. The book I had "chosen was a real sensation novel, and I read on engrossed, utterly regardless of time and tide. Suddenly, however, the pangs of hunger seized me ( I may add my appetite never fails me), and, o-lincin" at my miniature watch, I dis covered it was long past luncheon time. Alas, Miss Broughton! what have you to answer for? I seized my shawl and proceeded to make my "way back with expedition, when lo! to my intense dismay I per " ceived that the" tide had risen and en tirely divided the rock upon which I was standing from the shore. Still worse, the horrid waves were creeping nearer and nearer, and not a soul could I see te help me in my distress. Imag ine mv feelings me, poor little misera--blc ""Dot," alone in the middle of the I shouted, but the noise of the waves drowned my feeble cries, like they must coon drown me. O, would any one be orry ? U, way nau. x e ui uuiuu uj ims Lateral Biarritz, to be drowned all alotifc like this? 1 wonder wouid they put it in thts papers? All these thoughts crowded upon mc An the waves approached, and I find be gun to lose all hope, when, nil joy! 1 saw a figure in the distance. Once again I shouted and waved my shawl vehemently. The figure stopped, wait ed one instant, and then I could free it plunge into the water and approach mc gradually. O, the intense relief of that moment! By the time the figure (which was that of a man) reached me I was near ly surrounded by water, and five min utes more would have decided my fate. Before that live minutes passed I was caught by a pair of strong arms, nnd was being Mipportcd through the water hafely and surely to the beach, where soon afterward I was deposited, a drip ping, blue little "Dot," feeling very much smaller than usual. My deliverer I had scarcely looked at; I only felt that he was big and strong, awl that I was like a doll in his arms. Notwithstanding my remonstrances, he persisted in carrying me on to the hotel, at the entrance to which he genu h out me down. I turned and travc him my two little blue hands, with what few expressions of thanks I could muster, lie took them (the hands, I mean) in his warm, big brown ones, and said in a deep, sweet voice: " How thankful I am that I was in time! A few minutes later, and then " I shuddered ; he left the sentence un finished, and was taking his leave, when I murmured something about my sister and brother, and how pleased they would be if he would call, but he interrupted me with: 44 1 should have- been delighted, but unfortunately I leave Biarritz early to morrow." And so he left me left mc with a lit tle pang at my heart, such as I had nev er felt before. Was he handsome? I know not; I only know that a nair of dark brown eyes had penetrated into my soul yes, me, stupid little 44 Dot." How often af ter that morning did I feel those strong arms about me, those kind eyes looking into mine! How foolish I am! Prob ably the man's married has half a dozen children! One thing is pretty certain, and that is, I shall never see him again. I gave my sister and brother a slight sketch of the whole affair, and .lack, dear, good-hesrted .lack, Hies about all over the town to discover and thank my deliverer, but all to no purpose. Not even did ho get a clow to his name, so they gradually forgot all about tho af fair; but so did not I. "Dot" was no longer the same "Dot" of yore, but wandered about like the heroine of a three-volume novel, with tho memory of two brown eyes burned deep into her soul. January and February were verj agreeable months at Biarritz, and I be came more reconciled to the lack of amusements in consequence of the ar rival at our hotel of a most charming family, Colonel awl Mrs. 1'allisscr and their two daughters. Tho latter were most accomplished girls, and exceed ingly graceful and pretty; and before man' days Kathleen, the eldest, and my self formed an attachment which, con sidering how opposite we were in tem perament and disposition, was the more surprising. 1 wish I could give you an impression of her beautiful face; she had that pecu liar tint of auburn hair which, combined with soft brown eyes and a peach-like, delicate skin, gives lhatMadonna-iike appearance which one so rarely sees in real life. Some people, many I know, would have stigmatized her :ts " that girl with the carroty hair," and said no more; but I admired her as L loved her, and 1 trust our friendihip will be a lifelong one. She painted in oils, and I always ac companied her on her sketching expe ditions, 1 sitting beside her with my book, while she produced on her can vas sweet effects of color, combined with a truthfulness of outline remarka ble in a girl who had studied so little as Kathleen. Kventually,as our friendship increased and ripened, I poured into her sympa thetic ear the small romance of my life, and, as I found she did not laugh at me or think me ridiculous, I frcqucnth: re curred to the subject, and unconsciousry it became the center of my thoughts by day and my dreams hy night. So the next three months glided peacefully away, and the time came that we should return home to England, the I'allissers being our traveling com panions. .lack had rented a snug little place in Herefordshire, called "The Grange," and there 1 was to stay with thorn for a couple of weeks before returning to the parental ro-f. It was such a pretty place, a -rather old-fashioned red brick house, tucked in among the most lux urious foliage you can imagine. The garden was simply delicious, redolent with the perfume of roses and carna tions, and, indeed, flowers of even de scription. It was separated only by a low railing from the grounds of our, or, I should say, rather, Jack's young landlord, the 'Squire of the place. We arrived tired, dusty, and rather out of sorts, having had to wait two hours at a junction where there was nothing to do but to read the adver tisements on the walls of the station, and I think I could imitate exactly the expression on the face of the lion caught in the net, and the old nabob swallow ing pickles having studied them both for so long. Jack, according to his usual fashion, smoked away like ten chimneys; and Geraldine well, she, I think, only grumbled ; and when we did get home at last, the country looked so deliciously green and freshi" and every thing was so pretty at the Grange that we soon recovered ourselves, and the following da was spent in exploring the new territory and giving our several opinions about every thing. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon Jack came in, brimful of news. First item, there was splendid shooting to be had in the neighborhood, and fishing, too, was good; then, he had visited the young 'Squire, who was a " thundering good fellow," as .lack expressed it, and 44 game for any thing." He had only just returned from a tour on the Conti nent, and had not long come into his property. "Ah, Miss Dot," said Jack, with a very knowiug look, which ho always put on when he means chaff, "now, there's a chance for you fifteen thousand a year and a title! You would make a charming little lady of the manor, and we would tow-tow to you most delight fully." "Don't be silly, Jack," I said, in a huffy tone, trying to look serious. " I never mean to marry" (this vehement ly) ; "and I detest your Adonises with their money-bags!" Jack shrugged up his shoulders rather incredulously, and gave a little laugh. Now, I hate that laugh of Jack's. 44 Well, my dear child," said he pa rentally, "all I ask of you is to be civil to him'to night when ho comes to din ner, and put on your smartest gown." 44 1 shall do nothing of the sort," re- S lied I. " Smartestgown, indeed! What o I care about young 'Squires with large rent-rolls?" And I left the room with a strong de termination not to look my best that evening. What did I care about fascin ating men, when a certain pair of brown eyes were forever haunting me. "Ah, me!" thought; "how I have changed. A few short months ago and the idea of flirtation would have made riic perk up and jump for joy, and I wduld h.ivc done all in my -wwer iff make the country girl green with jeal ousy; but now l" don't wem to care one little bit to Income acquainted with this magnificent Squire." At first I thought I would make some excuse and not appear at dinner; but then Geraldine would think 1t unkind, erhaps ; and, after all, what did it matter? Six o'clock struck, and I went to dress 5 for dinner. I hesitated a little as to what garment I nhould wear, and finally j selected a palc-olue gauze tnmmeu wriin bluh-rose. Yes, that would do any thing would do. I did care, though, a wee nit as to how I looked. I had been thinking about Biarritz again, and my eyes were very bright when I looked in the glass. 44 Shall 1 ever sec him again?" I said to myself; and as I said it something seemed to whisper " Yes," and I felt the blood rush quickly to my cheeks. I was dressed before "Geraldine, and demurely took my work down to the drawing-room and'seatcd my little self on the amber damask sofa. As I did so, I glanced at my reflection in the op posite mirror, and I flattered myself I looked rather well in my blue cloudy looking dress against the soft amber. My eyes were certainly unusually bril liant. As I stitched away at my em broidery, my thoughts once raofc re verted to the time I had spent at Biar ritz, and more especially to a certain never-to-be-forgotten day, and to a cer tain tall figure with broad .shoulders and kind eyes. I was just recalling every incident of my adventure, when the door was suddenly thrown open and the sonant announced " Mr. Wig ram." I rose to meet our guest. I glanced for one instant at his face, awl my heart stood still. I moved forward in a .sort of mist, and dreamily extended my hand. Was it indeed he, my hero? Were these the eyes I remembered so well this the same deep, sweet voice? He looked at me steadily for a moment, and then a troubled expression, half of surprise and half of disappointment, came over his face. "Mrs. Temperly, I presume?" were the formal words which rose to his lips, 41114 1IU -JJI 'J ''"I'll-1 iittiiu, t I tnitrnntfoil Lvmutl Inntr ti Hitmion( 1 tl to set him right. Happily he caught tho meaning of my words. His face suddenly lighted up, and coming nearer to mo, he took my hand once more and raised it to his lips. 44 1 am so very glad we have met again. I never thought to be so fortu nate." And then ('eraldine entered, with many apologies for being late, and other guests were announced. Later on in the evening I confided in Jack, who only remarked laconically: 44 Then why the deuce didn't the fellow come to see us at Biarritz?" 44 Never mind, Jack," said I; "he is here now. And please, dear, don't chaff anj more about him." 44 All right!" said Jack. "But I thought you hated rich young men." This was Jack's last bit of sarcasm ; and when, day after day, the 'Squire joined us in our rides and drives, awl spent evening after evening at tho ('range, no one seemed astonished; but when ho actually proposed to me, the one who sympathized most warmly with me in 1113 happiness was my dear est friend, Kathleen Pallisscr, to whom I had confided all my small bit of ro mance. Yes, our remembrance and love for each other was mutual. He had endeavored to find me out af ter leaving Biarritz, and all his efforts had been fruitless. To make a long story short, wo were married very soon, andthe Pallisscr's girls were my bride maids. Enylish Paper. Swindling by Wholesale.

In a few days " Burnett " writes to " Jones's " " cousin ;" that is to say ho sends a letter to the same parties in different parts of the country whom " Jones " addressed, saying that the correspondent thus addressed has drawn a watch worth '00, on which, for packing, registering, etc., ho is al lowed a commission of $3.

F. 1). Curtis, in New York h Tribune ritKSKltVINCt llfTTKK. It lias become a question worth) of serious consideration, by those con cerned, whether the old-fashioned meth od of packing May and Juno butter for winter sale will beany longer profitable, in view of the competition of the fresh creamery butter, and that of private dairies, 'in which winter is the most active season. It is known that butter of the very first quality can be made as well in tho depth of winter as in Juno, so that "June butter" no more attracts the dealer or tho purchaser, as hereto fore. The past winter 1 have been packing butter in small oak pails, con taining live to ten pounds, for my cus tomers, who have gladly paid .W cents per pound for it, without any help from puffs and newspaper notoriety, tlio but ter goinir solely on its merits. I am thus packing all my product, and I think if dairymen were to do more of this procuring and using tight, neat, sweet white oak packages they might find profitable sale for butter the year round. The size of the package is con venient, as five to ten pounds will sup ply a small or large family two weeks, and the butter can then be had always fresh. But when it is desirable to pack for winter use, extra care must lie exer cised as to the mode of packing and tho package. I have found a four-gallon crock, or the very neat " return butter pail," equally good and safe for packing, the advantage resting with one or tho oilier depending upon the size and weight of the contents. The package, providing always it is air-tight and clean, is not" so important as the method of packing and the place of stor age. The manner of packing I have been used to practice is as follows: The butter, taken from tho churn, is worked for a short time with pure cold water from a deep well. Where the water is not cold, ice-water should be used when the weather is warm enough to make the butter work soft. The grain can not be preserved if the butter is worked too soft, and it should bo kept as hard as it can be worked easily. The lump is then gashed with the ladle, and salt at the rate of ono ounce to the pound is sprinkled over it and worked in lightly. The butter is then put away for 24 iiours in a cool collar or dairy-house. The last working is thorough, lo get the color even and the salt well mixed in. As a little salt will have melted and drained off during tho standing, the liberal dose given will not be excessive. The butter is then packed down into the crock or pail, taking care to leave no vacant spaces. Brine is poured over the butter, and the package is covered with a cloth and the cover, and set away, until the next churning, in the usual place. The next churning is packed in the same manner, the brine being poured off and thrown away, and a little fine salt being sprinkled on the first layer before the next is packed down. In this way the package is filled. The top is then covered with a piece of fine, white muslin, steeped in brine, awl cut to fit exactly; this is covered with"i thin layer of salt, and a strip of woolen felt ing is fitted around the edge of the package and under the cover, which Ls then fastened down tightly. A strip of resin paper, used for covering roofs,wiil make a good packing for the cover. The place of storage is very important. This should be cool, airy, moist, but not wet, and entirely free" from mold or mustiness. A cave in a bank, or a deep cellar, furnishes an excellent store for butter. The former may be made very easily, as follows : Dig out a founda tion 10 feet lonjr, 6 feet wide and 3 deep : throw the earth out on each side. Bufld up on each side with peeled logs, slabs, planks or rails, and make a steep roof over the whole, nailing the tops to a ridge board and resting the lrattom against a log staked fast on each side. The roof then can not spread. The sides are covered with the strips of bark that have been peeled off from the timbers, slabs, etc., and the earth thrown out is heaped over the roof, packed down and well sodded. A door is provided. A ventilator is made in the roof that can be closed when necessary, and it will need to be opened only upon cool days and nights, and never in the hot weath er; and the packages of butter are stored upon a bench on one or both sides. An other excellent cold store-room, which I found remarkably satisfactory some years ago, was a "deep cellar dug like a well, 14 feet deep, and lined with bricks, which were whitewashed. An arch was thrown over the top, as in a cistern, and a doorway with steps was made for ad mission. The cellar was covered by a plain shed to protect it from the weath er. The stairs ran around the wall, and' within reach on opposite sides shelves were supported by brackets, upon which milk, cream, butter, etc., could be stored. There are many such cool houses in Eastern Pennsylvania, and many 01 these have the well below them, or upon one side, in cases where water is reached in the digging. Of course, in the former case, the well is arched over, and a floor is filled in above the arch. By whitewashing the walls, or well, sufficient light is furnished by reflection from the door above when tliat is open. Cor. Country Gentleman. m The original Lady of Lyons alioness.

Australians Divorces have never been sanctioned in Australia. JewsIn old en times the Jews had a discretionary power of divorcing their wives. Javans If the wife be dissatisfied she can ob tain a divorce by paying a certain sum. Thibetans Divorces are .seldom al lowed, unless with the consent of ImhIi parties, neither of whom can afterwards remarry. Moors If the wife does not become the mother of a boy she may be divorced with the consent of the tribe, and she can marry again. Abyssinians No form of marriage is necessary. The connection may oc dissolved and renewed as often as the parties think proper. Siberians If the man be dis satisfied with the most trilling acts of his wife, he tears her cap or veil from her head, and this constitutes a divorce. Corean The husbaud can divorce his wife, or treasure, and leave her the charge of maintaining the children. If she proves unfaithful he can put her to death. Siamese The first wife may be divorced, not sold, as the others may be. She then may claim the first, third and fifth child, and the alternate children are yielded to the husband. Arctic Re gion When a man desires a divorce he leaves the house in anger, and does not return for several days. The wife un derstands the hint, packs her clothes and leaves. Druse and Turkomen Among these people, if a wife asks her husband's permission to go out, awl he says "Go" without adding, "but come back again," she is divorced. Though both parties desire it, they can not live together without being remar ried. Cochin Chinese If the parties choose to separate, they break a pair of chop-sticks or a copper coin in the pres ence of witnesses, by which action the union is dissolved. The husband must restore to the wife the property belong ing to her prior to her marriage. Amer ican Indians Anions some tribes the pieces of sticks given the witnesses of j the marriage, are broken as a sign of divorce, usually new connections are formed without the old ones being dis solved. A man never divorces his wife if she has borne him sons. Tartars The husband may put away his partner and seek another'when it pleases him, and the wife may do the same. If she be ill-treated she complains to the mag istrate, wno, auenueo. oy me principal people, accompanies her to toe house and pronounces a formal divorce. Chi nese Divorces are allowed in all cases of criminality, mutual dislike, jeal ousy, incompatibility of temper, or too much loquacity on the part of the wife. The husband can. not sell his wife until she leaves him, and becomes a slave to him by action of the law for desertion. A son is bound to divorce his wife if she displeases his parents. Circassians -Two kinds of divorce are granted In Circassia one total, the other provisional. "When, the first is allowed the paMies can immediately marry again ; "iHiere the second exists the couple agree to separate for a year, and if at the expiration of that time, the husband does not send for his wife, her f feWj-ftca WnTk sugar, twtj-tMrd of 4 capful of butter, I portion r U rtfttm ZZlIvE two r?, one level tta.roonful v!
