Customers were few in the rambling old pawn-shop in tne llmvcry about which I am going to tell you, and the strange little man who kept tho place had more time than usual to look over his stock and calcu late his sales. A woman with a battered face and bleared eyes had ju.st been in and pawned :iii infant's chair, which was probably the lust article of any valuo she had left in the house. And this was not worth much, for "old (luttman" as the pawnbroker was called, would only give her len cents for tho privi lege of leaving it among his possessions. 44 Vat you do with the nioni&h, Sal?" he asked, as the woman, with trembling hand, picked tho dime from the coun ter. 44 I'm hungry," she replied, in a maudlin way, "'I'm hungry." 44 Ve shall see," he answered, as the woman, without another word, dragged herself from the place. Then old Outtman moved round once more among his jarungo 'wares, mutter ing a little to herself in his own lan jjimge. Canary birds sung and hopped about in gilded eages, ciuite forgetful of their former homes, and a valuable mal tose cat, whose owner brought it food every day, purred about tho pawn broker's feet, to all appearance :is happy as a cat could be. It would be almost impossible to name an article of wearing apparel, or an ornament from paste to diamonds of the first water, from gewgaws to solid gold, that old Guttman did not have in his shop. French cloeks and wooden -'clocks ticked sido by side on a shelf, while babies' cradles, cribs, wax dolls i and playthings told a pitiful story of the destitution that made such sacrifice necessary-. There were oil paintings, bronzes, statuary, books, and every con ceivable article of brie-a-brac. In short, Guttman 's stock was unusually extensive and varied, and his pride in his miscellaneous assortment was corre spondingly latge. Among the pictures was a portrait of ' a beautiful woman. It was in a costly gilt frame, which occupied a prominent place on an easel in a corner of the shop. No one could glance at this portrait without turning to look at it again. It was evidently the faco of an Italian lady, and was marVelously lovely. The pawnbroker, with his feather V duster, reached this corner at last, and sis he dusted the frame, he said, with a shake of his bald head 44 You haf been much trouble to me, my lady. More than von year, you bad creature, you been here, and no monish paid for you. You will go to do shen tlman what ask to buy you. You haf J. break nvy rule with your great eyes, and the ozzer eyes that comes in here and cry for you! But old Guttman must haf a soft heart no more, my lady, no more!" At this moment the door with the three painted balls on the ground glass pane, swung open, and a girl, perhaps eight or nine years old, came into the shop. She was ragged, and wet - through with the rain. Iler long dark , M hair was drenched, and hung in great "r limp masses down her back. She wore f neither stockings nor shoes, but her feet were small and shapely, and the rags, grotesaue in their blending of shades and colors, could not conceal the grace of the girlish figure. yt "Oh! I have hurried so, Guttman, dear!" she said, looking quickly about her as she spoke, "but she has kept me w begging till this minute!" and the child stepped before the portrait and looked at it with her whole soul in her eyes. 44 How much did they gif you, Nina?" the pawn-broker asked. 44 Oh, only a very little. It was too wet for the gentlemen to stop and " put their hands in their pockets. It is .N. it-? always bad when it is wet." 44 And sometime ven it ish dry," said her companion. " Come to de fire." 44 No, I'm not cold," the little one answered, " and I must go soon. O Guttman, what should I do if my dear mamma aid not live nere with you? - Must she not be a beautiful angel, (J my friend? I dreamed of her last night in heaven, and she was the love liest of all." The pawn-broker had opened his mouth to speak several times, but ac customed as he was to all phases of this unhappy business, he could not bring himself just then to say any thing to the . sorrow-stricken child about the sale of V the picture. More than a year before, Nina's father, .. a man broken down in soul and body by hard drinking, had pawned the picture of his dead wife. Shortly after he died, and nothing had ever been paid on it; - so, according to the rules of the estab- lishment, and perhaps of honest dealing, the pawn-broker owned the picture, and itwas his to dispose of to any one who wished to purchase it. Every day since the picture had been in old Guttman's care, Nina had visited the shop to see the face she loved so well. Some days the little one would flit in and out half-a-dozen times, and to this most unusual behavior, the pawn- broker had never made the slightest ob jection. When Nina's father died she was ut terly alone in the world, -andafter a lit tle' attention from the more kind-hearted 5t her neighbors, the child had drifted into the care of a woman who made her beg from morning until night, her only reward being a roof to cover her when she slept and a portion of the poor food that had been given her through the day. Yes, Nina," Guttman remarked at hut, an the child stood spell-bound be fore tho portrait, the painting is beau tiful; every one vill always say that I but all dc time, Nina, it Is not your mother, for she, vc vill say, Is in Heav en; yes!" O Guttman dear, I know she is in heaven 1" the girl replied; "but this is all I have now, and I could not lire without it, indeed I could not. I eay to myself, when it is cold, and tne rain pours down, and my feet freeze with the snow and the ice, ' Never mind, Nina, your mamma is over there, and Gutt man dear will keen her safe;' and then I think no more of the cross people and the cold streets." "So," said the pawnbroker under his breath, with a glance at the little figure standing motionless before the portrait. Old Guttman had anT eye for the ar tistic, and this child, bareheaded, barc- I footed, and drewsd In rags, with the look ot an angel in her sweet infantile face, was a picture that be knew his friend Raphael would havo craved to immortalize. The pawnbroker loved the roasters, and always spoke of them as his fronds. There was a bit of dusting to do in an opposite corner, and when Guttman turned round again, Nina was gone. "Ah, Guttman! you be von old fool!" he said to himself when he found he was alone. " And you, my pretty lady, with de big eyes, haf bewitched me long enough too long. I sorry for de child. but 1 may not keep you always because ot that. W hen do shentleman come again and vant to boyyou, it vill bo one, two, tree, and off you go." Business grew more lively towards noon, and the pawnbroker forgot all about the big eyes: but they looked out wistfully, nevertheless, on tho strange company in this strange establishment, and sometimes one visitor more alive to tho beautiful than the rest would linger a moment before the easel, and forget his troubles in the charm of this lovely face. The rest of this stormy, disagreeable day passed as usual in the pawnbroker's establishment. Men and women, old and young, crept in with their treas ures, and after a few low-spoken words with the proprietor, would creep out again, his money clenched tightly in their hands. In tho evening a younfj man of re fined appearance came in, hurriedly, and pawned his watch, a large gold re peater. He was evidently an old cus tomer, for he said, with a hard laugh, as ho put the money in his pocket 44 1 have got ahead of uncle this time, nuttinan. He thinks I have turned saint, you see. If he should suspect any thing, and como poking round, keep mum, will you?" 44 Bah! I know my business," the pawnbroker replied. The younr man lit a cigar, arid with another hard laugh, walked out of the shop. '1 wo hours later. just as old Guttman was closing the shop, another gentle man entered. The pawnbroker's face brightened as ho saw liiin, for tho new comer was a well-kuown artist, a man whose pictures ho was very fond and proud of. " Goodrcvcning, Guttman," the gen tleman said, pleasantly. " Has Frank been here?" 44 Yes," said Guttman, holding up tho watch tho young man had just left. 44 How much did you give him?" 44 Twenty dollar." 44 All right," said the gentleman, 44 here is your money." The watch and the money changed hands again, and then the artist turned to tho portrait. 44 I'll take this homo to-night," he said, " if you'll let me havo it." 44 Yes, all right," said Guttman. 44 One, two, tree, and off she goes! " A prico was agreed upon, and then the artist took tho canvas from the frame, leaving that to be sent to him in a day or two. Tho beautiful lady with the " big eyes " that had so long "made a fool" of old Guttman was carefully wrapped up, and the artist, with a pleasant good-night, walked off with his long-coveted treasure. 44 Bah!" said the pawnbroker, a few moments afterwards, as he stood before the empty frame. 44 Bah!" ho exclaimed again, with a shiver, as he put up the shutters, and hid the three balls from sight for the next few hours. "Bah!" ho repeated later in tho night, as he woke from a dream about Nina and her mother. Old Guttman made his fire earlier than usual the next morning. Some times the pawnbroker had made a little more coffee than he needed for himself, and saved a roll for Nina. This morn ing there was a generous cupful left in the coffee-pot; but breakfast passed, and no Nina. The forenoon and the after noon also went by, and the little one still absented herself. Evening came, and when old Guttman had lit the lamps, he opened the door and looked up and down tho busy street, ostensibly to find out about the weather, but really to see if he might not catch a glimpse of Nina. He was about to close it again, when tho child appeared on the threshold. " O Guttman dear," she moaned as she stepped inside, I was beaten so badly that I could not get up before, aud I can never, never, Guttman dear, go back to that place again." " You shall stay with me," the pawn broker replied, standing in front of tho empty frame. "I save de coffee for you this morning, and two nice rolls," he went on. " Oh, give them to me now, please," the little one replied, " for. I am, oh, so hungry, Guttman dear." 44 Come with me," said the pawnr broker, extending his hand without moving from his position. "Thank you," she replied With a plaintive politeness which touched the pawnbroker's heart, " but move,please, Guttman dear, and let me see my dear mamma" The man's faee flushed. Ho moved as he was told, obediently, mechanical ly, without a word. There was nothing to be seen. The picture had passed out of his possession and out of Nina's sight forever, and there was nothing to be done, as well as nothing to be seen. For a moment the child stared at the empty frame, and then with a trustful smile she said, looking wistfuHy about her "Where have you put her now, Guttman, dear? "' "She is not here anymore, Nina," the pawnbroker answered, turning his face away. " I I haf sold her." Where has she gone?" the little one cried, clutching Guttman's arm as she spoke. Her eyes filled with tears. "O Guttman dear, where has she gone? Tell me who has got my mam ma now." "A great artist haf her. He vill nan? de picture ia. his studio for the nice people to look at. It vill not be like old Guttman's shop! Ah, no! no! It vill be de paradise for de big eyes and de beautiful face." "Yes, yes, Guttman dear, but who is he? where does he live?" the child pleaded. Up town; I can not tell you where," the pawn-broker answered, walking away troubled and repentant because he had grieved the child. "O mamma, mamma, what shall I do? what shalll do?" the little one went on, and burst into sobs. ."X have been thinking of you .all day! O mamma, dear mamma, and -now you -are gone; what shall I do?" Old Guttman walked into the next room. This scene was too much for him. If Nina kaJ reproached Mat, he coaJd havo borne it better; but there was sot a word of reraoBStrancer A moment after, the pawnbroker heard the door open and shut, and thinking a chutomcr nad entered, be walked back into the shop; but to his sarprbe no one was there, not even the poverty-stricken. sorrow-fitrickeR Utile Nina. She had gone out again, cold and hungry, into the great busy, selfish world, and old Guttman felt as if he had lout a child; aud as he glanced at the great gilt frame out of which had gone the speaking eyes and tender mouth, it seemed to htm as if he had also a lost friend. That evening the great artist had a reception at his studio, and after the visitors had all gone, he went out with a friend for a stroll in the cool evening air. The portrait had been greatly ad mired by his visitors, and after a minute examination by a brother artist, it'had been left standing on the floor at the side of the room. When the gentleman entered the studio on hit return at about 12 o'clock, a strange sight met his eyed. A little girl, allin rag, sat on the floor by the side of the portrait, her head leaning against the picture, fast asleep. In her hand was the card she had taken from the picture-frame, with the artist's ad dress upon it. The grcat-souled man understood tho htory as well as if it had been told him. His heart was touched. He took the child in his arms, and placing her in the care of one who could give her tho sym pathy and love of a mother, little Nina awoke in the morning to warmth and sunshine, to the light of her mother's picture, and to pretty clothes and ten der, loving words.- I can not dwell on Nina's after his tory. She grew up a true and beautiful woman, and the great artist's picture of her, painted abroad, was tho gem of the Academy, and made for the noble man a wider reputation than he had ever had before. Nina never forgot the old pawn broker, and always called him friend, and "Guttman dear," just as in the old days, and his occasional visits to her home- were among the brightest mo ments of the old man's life. Eleanor Kirk, in Youth' Comjnnion. An Old Bible ami Its Interesting His tory. It was in 1850 that I met in Mobile, Ala., the owner of this book Ir. J. K. Witherspoon, grandson of President Witherspoon, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The Doctor was an educated gentleman, aud urged mc if I ever camo in the region of Greensboro, Ala , to bo sure to call on him and he would show me his won derful Bible. I was not slow to accept his invitation, and rode on horseback some dozen miles out of my way to see the greatest wonder of the age of this kind of boola I found the venerable doctor living elegantly on broad acres and with the slaves about him, for he did not seem to think there was any thing in his Bible against slavery, though his grandfather signed the declaration that " all men are created equal." The book was soon brought out from a careful keeping, and sure enough, though I had seen for years tho great Van hss libra ry, with Bibles having a chain attached thct once held them to a pulpit, and the Bible of .Philip Melancthon with his autograph, I had never seen any such Bible as this. I took it in my hand with awe, forit was written in the days of Kinj Alfred, and by a monk of Cornwall, hngland, who worked at it forty years almost a lifetime and was evidently on tho very finest of parchment, little inferior to satin. How such a finish could be put upon the skin of any beast in the days so long ago, when tho binding of the book was in oak boards, tied with buck skin thongs, was a mystery and almost a contradiction. But more wonderful yet was the writ ing within. The pages were all ruled with great accuracy and written as uni formly in the lines as print, which was not then invented, for some five hundred years lay between tho old monk and Faust and Guttenberg. The style was German text-hand, and was an abrevia tion from the vulgato of Jerome, made in the fourth century. The first chrpter of every book was written with a large capital, of inimita ble beauty and splendidly illuminated with red, bluo and black ink, still in vivid letters, with no two of the capitals precisely alike. Here was indeed a Dorc before him of our age. Each chapter is divided into verses by a dot of red ink, though I do not remember when " the venerable Bede " made his division of Scriptures into chapters and verses. This dot of the Biblo 1 speak of may havo been the work of subse quent age. As to the size of the book, it was about that of an old Ainsworth Latin dictionary the kind that was mistaken for a Bible once by a family in Alabama, and brought out at the request of a col porteur who wished to see their Bible! This manuscript Bible of Withers noon's contained all the books of the Old Tes tament except the Psalms and the Apoc rypha. Two chapters, the last of Le viticus and the first of Numbers, con taining tho most .splendid capital letters in the book, had been recently won tonly abstracted or cut out, in the house of Dr. Witherspoon, by some bibloma niac who did not dare steal the whole book. It contains, also, the whole of the New Testament except the chapter where the disputed text occurs, about 44 the three who bear record in Heav en." In regard to tho history of this Bible, tli-i doctor told me that it was found by a friend of his father among a lot of old books bought at auction for a song some twenty shillings and taken to a clergyman, Rev. Dr. McCalla, of South Carolina, as a book that the purchaser could not make head nor tad of, and which might be of value to some book leaned man. The clergyman readily gave him some half a dozen books for it from bis library, such as could be easily " understood by the people," and the man was happy in the exchange. Dr. McCalla certainly was, for he had driven a sharp bargain, and had a book that was worth, when first written, $2, 500, and would be worth that now to any old book-worm who dosireth not new books any more than 'new wine, "for he saith the old is better." This heirloom barely escaped getting out of the family line', for it was once loaned by Dr. Witherspoon, but he had the forethought to put the borrower un der written bonds to Te turn it, and, the man dying, the book was lent by his widow to some third person, and finally found its way, as a rare treasure, into some college :Harvard,I think whence it was recovered under a threat of a suit on the bond. . I left the sight and handling of this most wofiderrut Buue of any ut existence, perhaps, with many a kmgtag, lingering look, but not till I had written its his tory very fully at the request and dicta tion of the venerablo owner.

Alway a J great cry as to cotton-seed butter being white and Micky. Some inLt hnt in in J the butter. I lived on a farm in Hind 1 County, twelve miles east of Vickuburg, for th'iry-thrcc years, and my milch cows were fed seed daily for six or eight months. I hail a regular sugar j boiler, set in brick. I also had a boiler I with plank sides and end, uch as you describe, with sheet-iron bottom set in furnace and flue. I ued bran from sift ings of corn-meal, with turnip parings, cabbage plants and s-talks, and sweet potato parings from negro cook houM; ; and I made as good butter as you have ordinarily. And my wife had her surplus i butter engaged the year round at twenty five cents. Solon Robinson, formerly re siding at Lake C. II., Md., I think was with me in January, many years ago, and expressed surprise at my cotton- seed butter. The bran and scraps were j a small matter considering the quantity j of food. I had fifteen to thirty or more cows. The seed was cooked until a lauy couiu cruMi it oeiween ner inumu ( anil forefinger; thus tho tough rind' (hull) was soft enough to be digestible, j I do not think any one of my neighbors . cooked his seed.

Snow on the ground all last week; and his cowj, as I write, are fat enough for beef cattle. For some twen ty yeari before the War, I never let a hoof outside my fence. When General Grant marched into Hinds County, by tho back way, I went out in front, and took out forty-seven head of milch cow?, two bulls, a dozen brood mares, stal lion and jack. My steers and wethers I had killed to feed our soldiers; taking some seventy-five head of ewes and rams, all puro blood. This will give you an idea that one cotton-planter had stock, as I made my own meat always, and all I needed, killing often 20,000 pounds. 1 cooked food for fattening Logs always. I do know that there is no difficulty in feeding milch cows and calves with cotton" seed, well cooked. If fed green, and in quantities, stock are purged too freely to take on fat or flesh, or fcccreto milk. I give my name, for I am anxious that our people should feed cotton seed and save manure. SPANISH C1IUKAS. This plant, known to botanists as the cypcrus csculetittts, is attracting consid erable attention as a food crop for sheep, swino and poultry. It was intro duced into this country by the agricul tural department, at Washington, about a quarter of a century ago. There 13 considerable prejudice existing against the chufas in some parts of the South, on account of its resemblence to the "coco" grass cyiicrus hydra) which Is ono of the most annoying pests with which the southern cultivator is trou bled. But though belonging to the samo.genus,fcit-idinot-pjsc?th5ac qualities that render that grass such a nuisance. We are assured by those who have raised it for many years, that it Ls no trouble to get rid of it where it is not desirable to have it grow longer. If tho hogs and poultry are given the run of the grounds, they will completely eradi cate it. As to the Value of this crop, all agree that it is hardly surpassed, if equaled, by any other crop. As a past ure for sheep, it is claimed by those who havo raised it to possess great merit. A man writing from Georgia says: "If any ono wishes a sheep pasture, fresh, green and unfailing during the parch ing drouths of summer, he can have it by planting the Spanish chufa, or earth almond." " The grass will grow from two to four feet high, uninjured by drouth or heat, affording an abundance of rich, tender, sweet herbage, until frost, and an increased yield of roots." For hog feed, it Ls claimed that a crop of chufas is among the most profitable that can be produced. The writer just al luded to asserts that he raised " over one hundred bushels " per acre. A wri ter from Arkansas, says: " I am confi dent that they will yield ono hundred bushels per acre, and I am satisfied that they will fatten as many hogs as the same amount of com, if not more; while it takes only half the work to raise them." A correspondent of the Farm ers' Vindicator says: "The Spanish chufa is tho best-and cheapest food for swine-raising, because one acre will feed as much as four acres of corn." A correspondent of the Southern Farmer declares that one aero in chufas is equal, for fattening hogs, to forty acres in corn. Tho New Orleans Farm Jour nal, commenting on thus, says: " We think the statement referred to a little enthusiastic, but do not consider it very far out of the way, because our ex perience for a good many years, in tho main, corroborates his estimate of the value of this too much neglected chick en and hog feed. Similar statements to the above are so frequently met with among those who have tried this crop, that there seems little doubt that this plant is a valuable crop for the purpose of feeding hogs. As to the fattening qualities of chufas, all agree that ani mals fatten easily and quickly when fed on this tuber. The analysis of the chufa shows that it contains elements of nutrition in such quantity and propor tions as to constitute a very excellent article of food. The following are the constituents of the chufa according to Dr. Jackson's avalysis: Water, 15.50; fibrous matter, 12.45; starch, 27.00; sugar, 12.26; wax, .40; fat oil, 16.65; mucilage, or gum and albumen, 6.65. The usual method of planting these tu bers is to drop one or two tubers in a place every 20 inches or two feet, in rows two and a half to three feet apart. The seed should be kept in moist sand or oil for some time before planting. They will soon appear above ground if the weather be favorable. They should be planted as early as the soil will do to work after the frost leaves it. They re quire light culture, sufficient to keep the ground clean and free from weeds. The plant spreads by sending creeping stems out in every direction, until the soil is completely occupied by them. At every jomt or node a tuber will be formed, and a shoot will spring up. The tubers begin to ripen at the center of the hill, in July, but are not all ready to harvest until frost. Harvesting vs Tery tedious, but the pigs and hens will harvest them if permitted to do so. I believe this k worthy of extensive trial in oar State (Kaasas). L. J. Templm, in Kansas Farmer.

If put in after tho bread is baked, toward noon, -will uMially bo done by supper time. Thev can'be warmed over, if not used at the'first meal, and are just a? good as when first baked. The pork supplies enough salt. Crackers : Hub a quarter of a pound of butter into a quart of sifted flour, add half a tcaspoonful of salt and mix into a stiff dough with sweet milk. Lay this on a floured board and beat it with tho rolling pin as long as time and muscle will permit.

Buttermilk is excellent for cleaning sponges. Steep the sponge in the milk for some hours, then squeeze it out, and wash it in cold water. Lemon juice is also good. For the earache, toast an onion thoroughly, take the heart out, put it into a piece of flannel and insert it into the ear, having previously put a few drops of hot water into the ear.

The white of an egg, into which a Eiecc of alum about the size of a walnut as been stewed until it forms a jelly, is a capital remedy for sprains. It should be laid over the sprain upon a piece of lint and be changed as often as it be comes dry. A lump of fresh quicklime the size of a walnut dropped into a pint of water and allowed to stand aUnight, the water being then poured off from the sediment and mixed with a quarter of ar pint of the best vinegar, forms the best wash for scurf in the head.
