The streets which de- bouch here rom the Strand -Surrey street, Norfolk street, and Howard street --mark he site of Arundel House, originally the palace of the Bishops of Bath and We Is. It was sold by Ed- ward VI. to h s uncle, Lord Thomas Sey- mour, describ d by Latimer as "a man the furthest f om the fear of !God that ever he knew er heard of in England." Here he man ed and greatly ill-treated the Queen -Do -ager oKatherine Tarr, and incurred muc censure for his impertin- ent fanailiariti s with the PrinOees Eliza- beth, who wa living under her protec-, tion. After , e execution of, Seymour for treason, it was sold to the Earl of Arundel, and, being thenceforth called Arundel bus, became the receptacle of his busts and tatues, a portion of which, now at Oxfor, are still known as the "Arundel Ma bles." It was in Arundel House that 'Old Parr" died, having been brought London from Shropshire to make acqu intance with Charles I., when far adv eed in his 19rd year. Be tt as burie in Westminster Abbey, where his epit ph narrates how he lived in the reign of ten sovereigns, end had a son by his seco d wife when he was 120 years of age. Peter the reat was lodged "in a house prepare for him in NorfOlk street, near the water side," on his first arrival in England in be,reign of William III., and in the same house -that nearest the river -lived m. Penn, the kunder of Pennsylvania. He had a peeping -hole at the entran e, through which he sur- veyed every o e who came to him be- fore they were admitted. One of these having been ade to wait for a long time, asked t e servant impatiently if his master wo ld not see him. "Friend," said the fiery nt, "he hath seen thee, but he ,doth n t like thee." The fact was, he had discovered him to be a creditor. In Howard street, which -connects Norfolk stree with Surrey street, Mr. Mouutfort w s killed (December 9th, 1692) by Cant in Richard Hill, in a duel fought.for the sake of the beautiful and virtuous actre s, Mrs. Braceeirdle, "the Diana of the sage." Lord dohun after- wards himself led in a duel with the Duke of Ham ton, was Hill's pecorod in this quarrel. _ Wm, Congr ve (1666-1729), in whose licentious pia s the immaculate Mrs. Bracegirdle o e tained her greatest suc- • cesses, lived ad died in Surrey street. Condemned now, no English author was more peaised by his contemporaries. Pope dedicathd his Iliad to him, Dr, Johnson lauded his merit as "of the highest kind," and Dryden w ote- , "Heaven, that bu once was prodigal before, To Shakespeare g ve so much, he could.not give him more " Perhaps the e received was to visit him with. the airs noimced that, only a gentle come thither t ly snub which Congreve rom Voltaire, Who came ere, ana being ' received of a fine gentleman, an - f he had thought he was an, he should not have flee him. Give the Boys a Chance. The art of rming needs :fresh sup- plies of youth ul blood, warmed with energy, and ho e, and ambition,to re- juvenate its ustoms, traditions, and ancient metho ls. As men grow old, they are a littl inclined to experiment, to try new th ugs, or to change their habits; if the , have been successful, they decline a y addition to the routine knowledge a if insuccessful, they put in a plea. of "too id to learn." Farming, as a trade or anufacture, is largely in the hands of en advanced in life, and, as a whale, is ore stationary than any other branch f business. If, ;by some combination, t e experience, prudence and caution of he father ecruld be united with the ambit on, push and activity of the son, a deck ed advance might be ex- pected in farm ng. The best talent of the family sel om stays on the farm; youth receives no encouragement; the boy is classed vith the hired. help; he finds nothing fc r his brain to feed upon, nothing to aroi se his pride, nothing to . fire his inven ive genius, nothing to satisfy his lo gin desire to step up higher; hence ie e Hy seeks a home in some city or 'manufacturing village, where the de and for brains is more pronounced, an where the prizes of life are distribute in open competition. Soon the boy hose father, but a few years before, d ubted his busioess capa- city in even sel ing a yearling to the vil- lage butcher, sands at the head of sotne mercantile home whose weekly sales are thousands. H w that boy's financial shrewdness an( business was needed on the farm he lef ! The youngster, whose budding intell 0 was nipped by -the chill frost of p rental sternness and in- difference, is h 1 ard from in after life as the eminent la yer. His sound sense, reasoning •powc r and keen perceptions were sadly needed on the home farm. The lad who pl adeel in vain to be allow- ed. to lay out a tone wall, a culvert or a lane, unwillingly turns his back on the scenes of child i ood, yet the near future lays the world tribute to his ecientific skill in suspens on bridge or aqueduct. How easily thi engineer could double the value of the ancestral acres by drain- age and proper 1 onstruction of roads and ' buildings. Farmers, thin t of this : the very boys you are rearin to -day, driven from home, will fill t e highest places in the gift of commer e, art, manufactore and legislation. W y should the farm see this talent dep rt? why rob itself of 1i their needed bra ns If these, your de- p scendants, can g' e impulse to trade, in- t yention to mech nics, eloquence ' to the , p forum, why not induce such ahility to remain with yo ? why not encourage 1 i such talent to li t the cultivation of the t soil into the froi t rank, to select with a busiaess sagaeit the profitable branches s of culture, to e ncluct with merchants' y shrewdness the buying and selling of t tools, and seeds, nd products? - I If commerce r manufacture make a loud calls for our boys, make louder calls yourself. Tye the boys Lt Ohanee o at home, encou age them, sti ulate a them ; give the1,1 a piece of groitnd to s cultivate as thei own, give them cattle s to rear; sutround them with such hooka and papers as your means afford; per- mit them to Make inexpensive experi- ments ; yeat them as equals,as young 4 1 men of brains ; of perceptive faculties; give them a little authority, a little pow- er; talk matters over with them; con- sult with them, try their capacity, put eonfidence in them. Encourage the vil- lage lyceum, the farmers' club; take the boys along ; let them try a little new seed, a little poultrY'let them raise a few early Iambs; introduee any culture the success of which depends on their personal attention to detail;.make the boys interested, thoughtful, anxious to excel. Don't kill them with diudgery ; brains are worth more than stone walls, knowledge is. More powerful than iron bars, study is more potent than physieal force. Make home pleasant to them, encourage social gatherings • of young folks, promote sociebility, company, amusements, variety of occupation. These.are among the city's attractions, and the cause of migration is apparent. Adopt the remedy, keep the boys on the farm; if more business is wanted, supply it in increased and improved cul- ture. The, writer of the above artictle, which appears in the American Cultivator, is evidently a person of -considerable ex- perience, and good sense. But when he says: "the very boys you are rear* to- day,i driven from home, will fill the high- est places in the gift of commerce, art, manufacture and legislation,', while true in rare instances, is altogether too sweep- ing an assertion; for they who rise to such distinction are comparatively -few. With this exception the advice is whole- some and timely, though often given be- fore. -Pen and Plow. I Keeping Stock Olean. It ought to be the duty of the stock- man to see that all cattle that are kept constantly tied up should receive a thereugh brushing daily, Stock that are accustomed to have their heeds tied get very dirty about the neck and shoul- ders unless they receive a careful "groom- ing." Cleanliness is very essential for cattle always under cover, not only be- cause disease is thereby prevented from making its inroads, but also' because stock thrive better, and reach maturity a great deal quicker; when carefully tended, than when they are not. Cattle kept in bammels or loose boxes do not, perhaps, require s0. much attention as those whose heads are tied to the stall, as they can with freedom lick them- selves, but they should not be neglected .on that account; and the careful stack farmer will do well to see that his stock- man -gives them proper attention. It frequently happen, however, that cattle do become very dirty about the body - whether from neglect, or a natural pre- disposition to get dirty, it is unnecessary to consider. In such cases, a good remedy is to apply to the affected parts a mixture of fish oil and•flour of sulphur, in the proportion of four ounces of sulphur to a quart of oil. This mixture should be vigorously rubbed into the body, and about three days after this has been done, the affected parts- must receive a good washing with soft soap and warm water. The oil and sulphur may be applied once more in the same miinner as before, the mixture being mane a little stronger should there be an observable improvement. frOm the first washing.. This' mixture applied twice generally suffices to -effect a com- plete cure of the ailment. -London Live Stock Journal. A Wise A.pprenticeship. The Germans, who set so good an ex- ample to the rest of the tiorld in so many ways, make the culinarY art` a part of woman's education. The well-to-do tradesman,.like the mechanic, takes pride in seeing his daughters good house- keepers. To effect this object the girl, on leaving school, wbich she does when about fourteen years of age, goes through the ceremony of confirmation, and then is placed by her parents with a country gentleman,, or in a large family, where she remains one or two years, filling what may also becalled the post of servant, or doing the work of one. -This is looked upon as an apprenticeship to domestic economy. She differs from a servant, however, in this -she receives no wages; on the contrary, her parents often pay for the care taken of her, as well as her clothing. This is the first step in her education as housekeeper. She next passes, on the same condition, into the kitchen of a rich private family, or into that of a hotel of good repute. Here she has control of the -expenditures of the servants employed in it, and as- sists personally in the cooking, but is always addressed as Miss, and is treat- ed by , the family with deference and consideration. Many daughters of rich families receive similar training, with this differenee, however, that they re- ceive it in a princely mansion or a royal. residence. There is a reigning queen in Germany at the present time who was trained in this way. Consequently the women in Germany are perfect models of economy, and understand the art of housekeeping thoroughly. Inexpensive Furnishing. "I want to remodel my kitchen, but have little money to do it With. You are tasteful -and ingenious ;- will you aid me by your suggestions and help ?" ask ed one of my country neighbors. I com plied cheerfully with her request On entering the old ,kitchen, I immediately saw one cause for the shabby look the room wore. The finish was good, the windows large and bright, but the paint was waling off, the paper was patched and smoky, and even the plaster was started in a number of places. "In the first place," I said, "your husband must get some mortar and mend up this plas- tering. Then, I would havelini white- wash the ceiling nicely, and help you put .on one good coat of paint, of some pretty, light q4ade. After that yort can make the little attractive things." Many people pin up a clean newspaper behind the sink, to keep the spatters from the wall paper, but I think the prettier way s to get a •sheet Of very heavy pulp pa- er, and paint it the color of your room' • hen, from a pattern, cut out letters and este on, in pretty form, some familiar motto. An excellent method of freshen - ng shabby chairs is to stain them where he paint is worn with the color needed, nd varnish well. Varnish the book helf which holds the last week's papers, our scrap -book, your cook -book, and. he children's school books. Hang here our maps of your county and State, and ny other that you wish to refer to often. he wood box is generally an unsightly _ bject in the kitchen, but can be made ttractive by papering it; or if it is mooth, paint it and .make it a cover tuffed like a cushion.

The Spea er stood smiling as a 14y morning,.w ling for the pre- siding oflcer of the Se ate to come with the votes, so that his ball might begin. He came, stiff, sombre, and painfully con- scious kif a high collar, followed by the red bo4c containing the returns. As they sat to ether, the differ nce of their ap- pearance was striking. Randal is smooth shaved and of classic 1 beauty, while Senator'Ferry has a ling, brown beard that covers the lowe part of his face, and the general air of theological stu- dent. : He is a rich 1 mber merchant, independent of his Sen torship, and, be- ing unmarried, has for a long time been in the market. All so s of rumors have been prevalent concern g him, and each Winter be is reported ti be engaged to a different young lady. At one time gos- eip had settled on a .ce ain lady, but it was soon dispelled b the rumor that, she being a Catholic,' a d be of the other faith, there were chu ch objections to the union. Then the 4ughter of a west- , ern member was settl d upon, but she soon left Washington aid married some one else. . The last r port, and this I heard in the ladies'`gal ery on the day of the count, and consequently Must be so, is that the honorable Senator is engaged to a Buffalo lady, who tvill neither marry nor release him-, but keeps his letters so that he cannot address any one else. Whenever his attentions in any quarter the fair one, and the Senator is again become marked, a lettr or a visit warns out in the cold. The love affairs of prominent men being 1 more interesting than their public deeds, society will wait to see- if events will prove this last rumor. --Globe-Democrat. 2 Woolen and Cotton. 1 The present extensive adulteration of woolen and cotton fabrics forms the sub- ject of a valuable series of articles in one Of the English technical journals from which it appears, among. other facts pre- iented, that a Mixed.fabric of cotton and woolen may be most reliably tested by boiling in a solution of caustic soda, made by dissolving oue part of caustic in ten parts of water. By continued boiling the woolen is dissolved, while the cotton is unacted upon. A comparison of the remaining cotton with the original weight of the cloth will show the percentage of cotton present. It is, however, a mis- take to suppose that the mixed fabric is of necessity less durable than one otwool alone- In fact, many !"ehoddy" cloths, such as the "tweeds," &c., are really held together by cotton, it being abso- lutely impossible to make them hold to- gether by the sort ot short and broken woolly tibre employed in their manu- facture, a statement easily proved by simply unravelling a piece of the ordinary tweed, the warp being' generally of cot= ton and the weft of short woolly fibre, obtained by breaking up old woollen rags. This weft.shows, on examination, the wonderfulness of the mechanism by which it was enabled to run out of the shuttle without falling to pieces, and the impossibility of its being used for warp which has to stand so much rougher usage than the weft while weaving. An Adroit Swindle. I A' well dressed gentleman, who pass- ed himiielf off' as a lord, recently aston- ished two Paris bootmakers with a new swindling trick. , He called at a fashion- able store and ordered a pair of remark- ably handsome boots. pie boots were to be ,made without any regard to cost and to be sent to his hotel at eleven o'clock the next morning. A like order Was given by him to another fashionable bootmaker, who was told to bring his hoots at three the next afternoon. On the following day, when the first boot - Maker appeared, the noble lord found the boots satisfactory, with the excep- tion of the right one being a little too tight. The left boot could be left, how- ever, and he would postpone his depart- ure another day, and meantime the tight boot could be stretched. On its return he would pay f r the pair. The bootmaker was please4 at his success, and withdrew with th right boot. A similar interview took jilace later in the day with bootmaker No. 2, who was ask- ed to take awaylhe left boot of his pair and leave the other. Not suspecting anything., Wrong he dic so, promising to return with it early in the morning. At eleven the next day two disconsolate bootmakers, each holding an odd, boot, might have been Seen in the corridor of the hotel, each seeking in vain for his noble patron. Falling in Love. Falling in love is the one illogical ad- venture,, the one thing of which we are temptedit6 think as supernatural, in our trite ancl reasonable world. The effect is out of all proportion 17i,th the cause. Two persons, neither of them, it may be, very amiable or very beautiful, meet, speak a little, and look a little into each other's eyes. That has been dime a dozen or so of times in tile experience of either with no great result. But on this occasion all is different. They fall at once into that state in which another person becomes to us the very gist and centrepoint of God' creatiou, and de- molishes our laborious theories with a smile; in which our ideas are so bound up' with the onemaster-thought, that even the trivial cares of Our own person beeome so many acts of devotion, and the love of life itself is translated into a wish to remain in the sanie world with so precious and desirable a fellow -crea- ture. And all the while their acqUaint- ances look on in atusior and ask each other, with almost passionate emphasis, what so-and-so can see in that woman, or sucli-an one in that man? I am sure. gentlemen, I cannot tell you. TIGHT BINDING ovmrrmi), ALL THE NEWSTYLES IN FELT HATS AT W IL1L IAM HILL & C 0' S, SEAFORTH. GANG PLOWS GANG PLOWS, AT O. c_ wiDmisow's OLD 'STAND.
