              Iput my boottjust -where it suits,
And find them where I put them, too;
That is a thing, you must allow,
A ohap can very seldom do.
I leava my papers on my desk;
She never puts them in a heap,
Or takes to light the Mtchen stove
The very one I irant to keep.
On -winter night my c6zy dame
Will warn her toeB before the fire;
She never scalds about the lamp,
Or wants the wick a trifle Wgher.
On Sundays she is not so fine
- Bnt. what her ruffles I can hug;
I light my pipe just where I please,
And spill the ashes on the rug.
The bed is never filled with "shamo"—
A thing some women vilely plan
To worry servants half to death,
And spoil the temper of a man.
She lets me sleep to any hour,
Nor rises any horrid din
If it just happens, now and then,
To be quite late when I come in.
$ teU you, Jack, if you would wed,
Just get a girl who lets things run;
She'll keep her temper like a lamb,
And help you on to lots of fun.
Don't look for money, style or show,
Or blushing beauty, ripe and rare;
Just take the one who laughs at fate—
Who laughs, and shows she doesn't care.
You think, perhaps, our household ways
Are j ust perchance a little mixed;
Or when they get too horrid bad,
We stir about and get things fixed.
What compensation has a man
Who earns nis bread by sweat of brow,
" If home is made a battle-ground,
And life one long, eternal tow?

""Where is Sue?" inquired Mrs. Mellington, entering the room where her
Wo eldest daughters were employed, the
•one in reading, the other with a bit of
fancy "work, "*
"Ireally don't know, mamma," answered Ada, looking up from her work.
"Ihave had scarcely a glimpse of Sue
since we came to the country. She appears to have taken to an outdoor life,
and is never in the house except at
night."
"I saw her about two hours ago on
her way to the orchard," remarked Hose.
"She said she was going to feed the
pigs, and would afterward take a lesson
in milking."
"I"wish-I could find her," resumed
Mrs. Mellington. "I am sure that Col.
Hanley or his son will call this afternoon,
and it is proper that Sue should be present. She did not appear on their former
visit."
" She will shock the Colonel by hex
hoydenish manners, and, as to his son, I
hardly think he will particularly' admire
her. He doesn't fancy female society,
I've heard, and prefers his dogs and
horses. And wasn't he a httle wild at
college, mamma?"
"A little too fond of what is called fun
—nothing more that I have ever heard.
He  is  a  clever  young man,, will  be
^ 'wealthy, and is, next to his father^the.
; as your S3y, h§ don't appear to "care par-
-Ucuhtfly^fof ladies' society. I fancy he
looked rather bored while talking to that
stately Miss IBadstock, clever and handsome as she is. And then he must knpw.
that all the girls are trying to secure
him, wliich naturally makes him shy of
them."
These remarks "were clearly intended
as hints to her daughters, for Mrs. Millington was a genuine match-maker, and
had already married off two daughters
advantageously.
Finding  that the   remaining  eldest
daughter had failed to make the desired
impression on either Col. Hanley or his
son, she had bethought herself of producing Sue, hitherto,  as 'the youngest
and prettiest, carefully kept in tiie background.
But, meanwhile, where was Sue?
She had filled a basket with apples for
the pigs, strolled around the orchard, admired the trees and the fruit, and climbed
a low plum tree, in order to gather an
especially fine 'one for her father.   In
this position her eye w as canght by a
low line of gieen willows, bordeung the
sloping meadows beyond the orchard..
"It looks as though a stream Were
there," she thought, "aad I do-so love
•water. I dare -say it is so lovely under
those willows. "Come Bolla," calling
to a little half-grown telrier, "you and I
■will go on an exploring expedition
together."
Holla,   after coa-ang,   rather  sulkily
obeyed.   He was an ugly httle, ciooked-
legged, han-y-muzzled pup, whioh Sue
had, on her arrival at. tho faim, begged
of  the farmer for a  pel   Yet  Bolla,
despite all the petting, did not^take.to
this pi etty young mistress"! but persist sd
in .evincing a-decided preference foi tlie
barn andMtoheii, andlowlife in genei al.
She was not disfflgpointedin her expectation.   Shefoanota clear, shallow stieam,
■which   ran -rippling   and   miirmuring
pleasantly beneath, the willows, between
tHcket of r-wild f ose' and blossoming elder.
"Indeed! where is he?" inquired the
gentleman, looking around with a great
expression, of interest.
" He has run away from me."
"I -wonder at hini.   In fact, I really
don't see how he could have done it,"
said  he,  looking at   Sue,  and slowly
stroking his mustache.
She drew herself up with a great asr
sumption of dignity. _ •
"If you will try, sir, you "will find how
it can be done," said she loftily.
"And if I don't want to try ?"
"Then   the   other puppy must make
you.   Here he is, just in time.   Here,
Bolla, good dog; bite at him, sir!"
And Sue clapped her white hands together, and tried to whistle,- as she had
seen her papa do, to the great amusement pf the gentleman.
But, instead of gallantly rushing to
the attack at command of his mistress,
Bolla frisked up to the stranger with
extravagant demonstrations of delight.
"O he knows you," said Sue, contemptuously, "and so you didn't run."
"Yes; Bolla knows his friends. In
fact,'he's my namesake—an honor conferred upon me by the admiring partiality of farmer Hawes."
"He belongs to me now, and I mean
to change his name," said Sue positively.
"Pray don't. You have no idea how
musically it sounded across the field. I
fancied some wood nymph—or—dryard
—was calling to me. Belongs to you
now. does he? Happy dog!"
And he stopped and  patted Bolla's
head.
She turned sharply.
"Are you going away sh*, or shall I!"
she demanded.
"Oh, I would not for the world incommode you! And I beg you to remember that I came only because I fancied you were calling me, having probably seen me passing. I saw you from
the bank above. Pray excuse the mistake, and allow me to wish you a good
evening."    ,
And with a courteous bow, he disappeared among the bushes.
She stood  looking indignantly after
him until he disappeared.
"The impudent puppy!" she murmured; "I never heard of such assurance."
And then a slow smile rippled over her
face which she remorselessly checked by
biting the corner of her under lip.
"Come, Bolla," she ealled, in a subdued voice, "come, sir, and go home;
and see how you get into scrapes again."
She climbed the bank into the meadow,
the dog followed with a subdued and
culprit-like mien. But suddenly he
gave a short, sharp bark, and at the
same moment another and stronger
sound smote upon Sue's ear. It was a
low, hoarse, sobbing murmur, which
seemed to swell into an angry roar.
"If I were in Africa, I should fancy
that a lion's roar!" thought Sue, curiously looking around.
In an instant her cheek became deadly
pale, and she stood breathless and trans-
" Mercyon me!" she gasped. ""Why,
Mr. Millington, only look! Thero is
actually Sue with Col. Hanley's son feeding the pigs.
Mr. Mellington chuckled.
"Well, my dear, I don't seo the harm
of it, if they like it. Though where she
could have picked him .up I can't imagine."
Meanwhile, Sue and her companion
leisurely crossed the orchard and the
lawn.
"Now, I'll introduce you to papa,"
she  said.    "Only  I  don't know your
name."
"Oh, perhaps, he knows it, and "will
to vou.    Meantime,  Call

which,    it I1 is
to her
introduce me to you.
me anything you like."
So Sue walked  straight  up
father,   and,   putting her hand on his
shoulder, said:
"Papa, I've had an awful fright. I
was chased by a raging mad bull, and
my puppy ran away from me, and another with the very same name, saved
me; so I've brought him home with me,"
nodding in an introductory manner toward the guest.
"Eh?" said papa; looking up; and
catching the expression of the two faces
before Mm, he fell into the humor, and,
as he rose, said, with a wave of his hand
toward the waiting tea-table, "Very
well, my dear, we'll feed him."
So Mr. Boland Hanley sat down tothe
table with the family," and with an utter
absence of that unpleasant restraint
which Mrs. Mellington had remarked iu j
his intercourse "with Miss Badstock; and, i
despite her vexation at Sue, the meal
passed off agreeably.
Of course this "was not Mr. Hanley's
last visit to the Millington's—of course
there were frequent calls, with walks
and rides, in all of which he fulfilled his promise of taking care of Sue;
and when, at length, he asked the privilege of taking care of her through life,
she did not say nay.
Lately, Avhen Mx. Hanley was boasting
that his wife had accepted him on their
very first interview, by referring him to
papa, Sue looked around and said:
"You were an impudent puppy that
day, Bolla, as you are still."
The Discomforts of Fame.
"I should think,;' remarked a lady at
the lunch-table
poor Adelaide
forelocks, "emerged from a thicket at
some distance, and came slowly toward
her, tearing up the earth with hoofs and'
horns.
Bolla, after a   burst  of obstreperous
barking, turned and ignominiously fled.
She strove in vain to follow his example.   Her limbs felt paralyzed, and she
turned faint and sick.
The bull came slowly onward, now
lowering his head, then Uplifting it, and
staring fiercely and threateningly at the
figure in the center of the field.
Suddenly a voice shouted:
"Don't be afraid! Throw away your
red shawl! "Sow run—run to the nearest
fence—while I keep him off!"
The assurance of help at hand inspired her. She tore off the light zephyr
shawl, which had attracted the attention
of the bull, and ran as fast as her trembling limbs would carry her.
How she got over the fence she never
knew.. Indeed, she knew nothing distinctly until the gentleman she had
characterized as an " impudent puppy,"
lightly leaping the fence, threw liimself,
rather breathlessly and heated, on the
ground near where she had sunk the
moment she had found herself in safety.
" Oh," said Sue, half, sobbing, "I am !
so glad you came !   That awful ereatiu-e
would.have lolled me ?"
"I fortunately heard him bellowing,
and,   remembering  you, came  just in
time to keep him off."
""Weren'tyou afraid?" .
"Oh,  no! I used when; a boy to bait
these animals for my own amusement.
But you see, I can be of more nse to you
than 'theother puppy.'   Where is he?"
"Gone.    Deserted me in my hour of
need," she replied',, smiling faintly,   as
she   dried her   tears.    "But I've had
enough of him.   I'll give him away aud
get a better and bigger dog to accompany
me on niy walks,  if they are   to be as
dangerous as this one."
"Am I  big enough?"   inquired  the
gentleman.    "I'll take the best care of
you."
"0,1 don't know you yet, you see.
I -will ask papa," she answered demurely.
"Certainly—by all means ask papa!"
ofthe Baldwin, "that
pour ausuu^v Neilson ought to have
faced death "with a sense of relief." Some
surprise at the remark having been expressed, the lady "who had known Miss
Neilson intimately, proceeded to recount
the petty troubles of the great actress'
life.
"She was the victim, of ceaseless persecution," said the regretful friend.
"Every day of her life was made miserable by the attempts of all kinds of people
to intervieAV her on all kinds of- subjects.
I had the fact brought forcibly to my
notice one. afternoon of the lait week of
her stay here. I called on hemnvitation
and^&iu^,]\er-dieMQuScagd gleatlyj djsfo
visitors,'1' said she, and expeen so many
more that I've  positively notified my
maid that I'm hot in to any person ■ biit
an old musician' whom I've jknown for
years and "who is kind .enoughVto play for
me,
«<
"While she was speaking the musician
entered, andbeforehe had finished the
first selection, hdw many callers do you
think put in an appearance?   Six?   Yes,
a whole dozen. I don't remember half of
them.   I know, though, there was a card
from Barton Hill, who  wished to see
Miss Neilson about a benefit.   Then Ered j
Lyster called in a journalistic capacity.
Then   an'  ambitious   young   dramatic I
writer sent-' up word that he had kindly j
prepared, and brought with him a five-
act play lor .her perusal.   A young lady
from Sutter street craved an audience
for some purposenot given, butsupposed
to be the fell one of -confessing that her
mission  was to elevate  the  stage.   A
proud  mother  brought^  an   ambitious
daughter to  read   some   Shakspearean
passages and show Miss Neilson that she
had formidahle rivals outside the profession.   Two ladies came to inquire what
preparation Miss Neilson used that made
her so lovely on the stage; money was no
object to them in acquiring the secret.
But they didn't obtain an audience any
more than the many others.    Such were
the ceaseless .persecutions to which the
unfortunate actress was subjected, and
pestered,   pursued,   aud   villificd,   she
ought to have coveted the eternal peace
of death."—San Francisco Chronicle.  •

Keeping sheep is pleasant and profitable, if attended to properly. "Wool is a

It has its ups'and downs, but let any

an eastern contemporary.
Ekom a late Paris journal we Jtjarn
that the Erench Forestry Department
ha^e arrived at the conclusion that forests greatly increase the water supply'
wherever fouud. Erom close observations made it is found that rain falls
much oftener and more abundantly in
wooden tracts, and that, while the leaves
and branches give back the water quickly to the air, they prevent rapid evaporation from the ground, and are thus favor-;
ablo to the. formation of springs.
Cokn loses one-fifth by drying,  and
wheat one-fourteenth.     Erom this the
estimate is made that it is more profitable for farmers to sell unshelled corn in
the fall at 75 cents than at $1 a bushel in
the following summer, and the  wheat
$1.25 in December is equal to $1.50 in
the succeeding June.    In the case of potatoes—taking   those that rot and are
otherwise lost with the shrinkage, there
is but little doubt that between October
and June the loss to   the   owner who
holds them is not less than 33 per cent.
A Califoknian claims that in seven
years trial, exposed to all possible vicissitudes, and. subjected to early and late
planting on all kinds of land,  the Ana-
hiem   Odessa  wheat   has  never 'been
known to rust.    It stands hot dry spells
and  north winds  before  which   other
varieties   are  known   to  fail,   besides
which it has be&n  known to produce,
forty bushels to the acre on strong alkali
soil that had failed to raise any other
crop and would not sprout corn.   Nothing was said about the marketable quality of the wheat, but if it has standard
value in addition to all these qualities it
looks very much as if it could be introduced into Oregon, and especially to the
dry alkaline lands East of the Mountains,   to   good   advantage. — Prairie

It has been stated by somo of our agricultural papers that one objection to
the Southern cow-peas for the North is
that the season is too short to admit of
their ripeniug seeds. This is one of those
errors that occur from perfunctory experiments..   The   variety of cow-pea called
" Poor Land" ripened seeds at thejlural
Earmin large quantities by August 15th.
This variety is, indeed,"one of the best
for Northern fields.    The seeds gei'min-
i ate  freely   aud   produce   an   immense
1 amount of vine, which completely covers
| the earth for a space of not less.than six
' feet.    Those w^ho have tried the mixed
kinds which we distributed last season,
and who would pronounce them a f ailure
are advised to try the "Poor Land."   It
can be supplied by Southern dealers, and

must have some energy and get up mhis
nature. There is life and health in riding
on horseback.
The whole system, feels the invigorating effect of it. The rider and the horse
catch the fire of sympathy and excitement in the run or fast paces, and every
nerve and muscle of the body is brought
in healthful, invigorating play.
The mania for trotting horses has been
felt on every farm in the land. The
country is full of road horses, that some
man or boy loves to pull the string on.
They are usually poor saddle-horses, slow
walkers, and rough.
We need a reform. The place to begin
is in breeding a class of horses of good
size, style and .action, that can move
freely in more than one gait.
The English market is open for such
horses.    The well-knit horse of   good
style and action, suitable for the hunter
or carriage, will bring better prices than
average  horse.—Nashville Amer-

"Why He Was in the Penitentiary.
An important case was tried  before
the Criminal Court of  the District of
Columbia.    An old colored man was on
the witness stand.    The District Attorney interrogated the witness:
" What is your name ?"
" John Williams, sah."
" Are you the John Williams who was
sent to the Albany State penitentiary for
larceny?" ■      •    .
"No, sah—not this John."-
" Are you the John Williams who was
convicted of arson, and sent to the Baltimore penitentiary ?"
"No, sah."
Tired of asking fruitless questions;
the District Attorney suddenly-put a
leading one.
"Have vou ever been in the penitentiary?"    " .     .     .
"Yes, sah."
All eyes were now turned npon the
witness. The District Attorney smiled
complacently, and resumed:
"Howmany times have you been in
the.penitentiary ?" .
"Twice, sah."
"Where?"   .-'...     .     .
"InBaltimore, sah."
"How long were you there the first

"About"two hours, sah."
"How long the second time?" asked
the attorney, .rather crestfallen.
"An. hour, sah. I went there to
whitewash a cell for a lawyer who had
robbed his client."
