The Other night, about half -past twelve old, Major Thorndike was €i*akened by a tremendous rapping at his front door. Now 'the Major, although he holds a military commission, is apt to be a trifle timid in the night time ; so he awakened his better half to have the' benefit of her judgment in the matter. " SVh'{at appears to be the trouble ?" inquired the old lady. Trouble enough," replied the Major; "somebody is rapping at our front door as though the house was on fire, and you had, and you had better get up and see to 'em. "f " Geti up yourself, you pusillianimous old coward," exclaimed his affectionate spouse. I " What kind of a head of a family do you call; yourself, any way ?" Now, Mrs. Thorndike," gently re- utonstrad the Major, "do be reasonable about t is ; you know very well that if there is a murderer or a burglar at the door, be wouldn't be " mean enough to harm. an unprotected creature. Go down, Martha Jane ; go down and appeal to his better feelings, I'll appeal to your bald head with a loot-jaca, if you don't start in just about fifteen seconds, you dilapidated old idi- ot," suggested the chosen of his beast jumped out of bed and lighted a as she match Major Thorndike hadresidecl with Mar- tha Jane for twenty-seven years, and he well understood the peculiarities of her disposition. "Well, well, wife," said. he, " I'll go down, but you had better go with me, for perhaps some of the neighbors are sick, or some hing." Ali t is tune the pounding and kicking and thu aping at the front door had not ceased for one instant. I It seemed as though Bedlam had brok- en rok en loose and the hair on Major Thorn - dike's head stood up till the string of his reel flannel night-cap quivered like aspen leaves, He ,Gasped the trusty sword with which h had marshalled his battalions to victory ,n many a valiant sham fight, and ' with a ace as pallid as clay he whis- pered " Come, Martha Jane, and let us seek this clanger orfs foe." "Oh, you bad better go to bed and have another nap, you weather-beaten, old satin' hen," remarked his wife, 4'and 1,11 go alone." • f But the Major considered his hotior at stake, arid down they went to %ether. The military chieftain, with his sword at "ilio ilder arzn,'tled the way, and the old lady with akerosene lamp in one hand and a bootjack in the other, brought up the rear. And still the rapping and kicking at the outside door contitiuecl. G Down the back stairs and through the long entry that melancholy procession slowly pissed. Arriv 4 at the door, the commander-in- chief fail tly ejeeulated "Halt !" and then to the d'sturber on the otside he war - filed ; ' Who's there ?" `' It's me ; let me in. • • " Who in thunder is rue ?" said the Major, his courage rising tis he thought he recognized' the voice. " It is Deacon Blaisdell, your next door neighbor, 'replied the man en the outside, " and I want to come in;" Slowly and cautiously they unfastened the door, and Mrs. Thoi4ndike, whose costume was somewhat inadequate, set the kerosene lamp on tye floor, and grace- fully retired behind a hat -rack. The Deacon entered: Under his arm he held a mammoth copy of : %i'elieter's Unabridged, and his hands were full of spelling -books, primers and dictionaries. What are you prowling round here for at this time of night ?" shouted the Afajor, in wrathful tones. The Deacon was a small -sized specimen of humanity, and the Major was beginning to feel cour- ageous "Major," said the Deacon, I've got seven words here to spell ;that no mortal man in town bas yet been ableto spell. Squire Tewksbury can't do it, nor Lawyer Wheeler, nor Schoolmaster Jones ;: and I've just come from Parson Ferguson's, and he had to give them all up. Now, 1 want to have you try. The first on the list is Palo-rii ti-glorimels-neee Spell that if you -can." The valiant Major laid aside his pon- derous sword and fastened liis nightcap firmer to his head a he gave the Web• ster's Unabridged a kick that sent it fly- ing half way across the streete and the ait!vas filled with the spelling -hooks and primers. - " I'll give you a spell that'll keep you quiet for a month," said he ; and with one hand slued the trembling Deacon by thecoat collar, while the other affection- ately grasped hien by the pantalpons. "I'll teach you to come prowling reund here at midnight with your silent letters and your diphthongs and yot#r triph- thongs; I'll give you the worst Spell you ever had." And he gently carried theDeaeon out of the dour, through the front Yard, and into -the street, where, he carefully de posited him in a mud -hole about twelve inches deep. - The Deacon floundered, and kieked, and 'strove, and spattered, but the Major, af- ter leaving his burden, stalked, majesti- cally back, td the house with I bis Igar- ments fluttering in the breeze, while rs. Thorndike stood in the doorway; pro dly waiving the kerosene lamp over leer ead and shouting aloud, " The next word on the list is Arn•phi-bi-ous•ness !' Deacon Blaisdell, it's your turn to spell 'i"—. an- bury .Netts. • The Pulse. Every person should know haw to ass certain the state of the pulse in health then by comparing it with w at it is when he is aging, he may have Some idea of the urgency of his case. ' Parents should know th ' healthy pulse of each hild—as now and then a person is born v ith it pe- culiarly slow or fast pulse, and the very- case erycase in hand may be of that pe uliarity. An infant's pulse is 140 ; a chil of sev- en about 80 ; and from 20 to 6 year's it is 70 beats a minute, declining to 60 at four score. A healthful grown person's pulse beats 70 times iu a minute ; there may be good health down to 60 ; bjit if the pulse exceeds 70 there is a disease the machine is working itself oat ; there is a fever orinflammation somewhere, and the body is feeding on itself, as in con- sumption, when the pulse is quick, that is, over 70, gradually increasing, with de creased chances of cure,. until it reaches 110 or 120, when death comes before many days. When the pnlse is over 70 for months, there is a slight cough, he lungs are affected. The pulse decreases when a recumbent position is assumed for any length of time, and is increased by exercise, stimulants, and the prdi ince of food in the stomach. ; ! • i A Strange Incident. During a thunder storm which passed over Aberdeenshire recently a most sing- ular occurrance happened at Mr. Milne's Mill, of Allathau. The watch dog, who on all occasions -seems to have had a terror of thunder, was unchained and taken into the house. He lay down be- fore the fire in the kitchen, his breast resting on the dust pan, and one of the servants sitting on a chair partly cover- ing him with her dress. Mrs; Milne was also within a yard of them. When, after a very vivid lightning flash and loud peal of thunder, Mrs. Milfie and the; ser- vant rose, they found the dog quite dead, lying stiff, &nd his tongue ranging out. On dissectiiig him it was found that he had been struck on the shoulder which was resting on the dust pan. The light- ning had also passed into the drawing• room, entering - by the bell -pull, going along the wall, loosening the plaster, and ultimately passing out by the roof, dis- placing a great many slates and leaving a large; opening. A very singular thing in connection with the dog was that he was actually under sentence of death, and was to have,boen shot on the morrow, being rather dangerous, and having a tendency to snap ; but being .a very val- uable and favorite animal he bad been respited for some time. A Pass to Hades. _Thereis a newspapermanin the eastern part of Michigan who is being bantered as the champion railroad pass beggar. "Passing" him by, we want to tell a little story about an old acquaintance who once published a paper on the line of the De troit and Milwaukee road. He was a: mighty poor compositor to begin with,; and the first issue of his paper was a sight to see.' He had borrowed nld stereotypes of bitters and buchu to fill up with, and, his " salutory," as he called it, contained about 200 typographical errors and half that number of grammatical blunders. But it was a foundation, and he went to receiving subscriptions and ';sending for railroad passes. He went for superin- tendents until he had a pas over every road in the State ; but theise were not enough. He sent abroad, and finally ad- dressed- the superintendent of an Ohio road, No answer. The editor wrote again. No answer. He wrote a third letter, and answer came back. " Go to li ." The editor turned the letter over and wrote " Send me a pass on Our road and I will," The pass came and he ware made happy. —Agriculture is conducted in. Califor- nia, like everything else, on a gigantic scale. A Sacramento paper - gig+es an ac- count of a single farm at Jacinto, owned by -Dr. H. J. Glenn, from which 600,000 bushels of wheat were harvested the; past season. This is sufficient to load eigh- teen 1;000 -ton ships or 300 canal boats. The Doctor runs ninety gang plows and a dozen threshers, and employs a large number of men. His farming is not con- fined to wheat, as he markets $100.000 worth of stock annually. He is a Vir- ginian by birth. All the (letdls of his immense business he attends to per- sonally. PAY UP. PAY UP. • having placed T R.
