of MISCELLANEOUS. The Last Biscuit. Prudence Holmes sat alone in the wide, shady kitchen, busily engaged picking over whortleberries. Without the golden sunshine of an August afternoon bathed the green fields and dusty road that wound away to the touched with richer color the sweet peas, geranioms, in the tiny garden, and the beavy. Virginia creeper that climbed and blossomed abore the door.

Prudence mode a pretty picture as she sat on a low cricket, with large apron spread over her blue sprigged muslin dress to defend it from the stains that had soiled her little brown hands. She was a petite, daintily rounded maiden of eighteen, with great dark eyes and glossy curls shading her fair brow and cheeks that bad a touch of wild rose bloom upon them. The kitchen, too, such a pretty picture, with its well-scoured floor and aresser, its asparagus topped clock, its shining stove, with bunches of vivid cardival flowers set ou the snowy table. The kiteben was perfectly still, save the buzz of the flies and the tick of the clock and outside the crickets and locusts alone disturbed the peace. Prudence believed that every one in the house was asleep but herself, and yawned somewhat wearily as she tossed over the berries, finishing the yawn with a bit of soliloquy, uttered half aloud: dear this having summer boarders isn't very nice." Miss Prudence said a voice in the doorway so suddenly that Prudence nearly upset her berries in her surprise.

but I didn't this afternoon only some afternoon this week," said Prudence, demurely. "Well, we will call it this afternoon, won't we was the persuasive reply, aS the straw bat was tossed on a chair." can't. I've got these berries -to pick over." "I'll help you. Lend me half the apron and we'll bave them done trice." "But I shall have supper to get, mother's away, and there are biscuit to insisted Prudence, turning her face away hide a smile that would curve his lips. mind that," responded Mr.

Abbott Weatforth, bringing chair to suer "Tea is at 6, isn't it 7 and it is only 2:30. We'll be back by 5 without fail, and have time to get half the lilies in the river," and he began to 88- sort handful of berries with much earnestoess. assented Prudence, after pause for consideration and glance at the clock, "I can go for a little while, perhaps. Oh, don't stain your coat, Mr. Wentforth.

But Mr. Wentforth was sublimely indifferent to his coat, and worked with Auca good will that the berries were soon picked over, and Prudence and himself 00 their way to the river. Five minutes later Prudence, with her draperies daintly bestowed around her, was seated in the stern of the boat, which propelled by Mr. Wentforth's practiced hand, shot swiftly down stream. Although Mr.

Ventforth said to Prudence five times rithin an hour that it was a lovely day, and although Prudence assented every time. I hardly think they appreciated the beauty around them, for Prudence was quite absorbed in the lilies, and the reflection in the water, and Mr. Wentforth looked more at his companion than to the aspect of nature. They had gathered enough lilies to satisfy them, and Prudence was leaning backward trailing one hand in the water, when she suddenly uttered a little cry and sat erect, With white cheeks, from which the color had been frightened. "Oh, I almost lost it! How careless I am she exclaimed, replacing an old fashioned ring, set a tiny circle of rubies, on ber boger.

Did the water sweep it off your band "I suppose so. It's too large. for. me. I'm always losing it and fading it again.

I wouldn't lose it entirely for the world, because it used to be gave it to me." What a curious old ring it is," said Mr. Weatforth with interest. "May I look at it Don't trouble yourself to take it off," he added drawing his oars and leaning toward his companon. Pradence allowed her tiny brown band to lie in his aristocratio white one moment, and then hastily withdrew it. Isn't it pretty she inquired archly.

"Very pretty. Shall I tell you how to guard loosing it in the future "Oh, yes, if you please." this little ring of mine to guard it or better yet, exchange with me.Give me yours and take this instead," said the young man, daringly provoking. Prudence looked at the heavily chased gold Ping he held out to her, and then looked back at the water with an innoce.at, -Oh I don't think it would fit." it," suggested her companion softly, Prudence shook her head, but finally blushingly that it would do DO harm to try, and slipped the ring on her forefinger. "It's a perfect fit cried Mr. Wentforth, delightedly.

"Nothing could be better. Why, Miss Prudence, you surely don't mean to give it back course I do," was -the saucy rejoinder. "Why not "Because," said Mr. Wentforth, speaking very earnestly, and disregarding the oars altogether, while he tried to get glimpce of the face hidden by the flat hat, "because I meant to ask you to wear it always for my sake. I meant to ask 80- Mr.

Weatforth," cried his listener here, "do you see that lily on your left -won't you get it for me "I'll get you that and twenty others if you'll listen to me first. Do you care for Lie, Prudence? Will you marry me Prudence's face was turnd away and her Shad bent lower. A crimson flash stole. Ever ears, neck and chin. No, answer.

Her companion leaned over and took her hand again, venturously 19 10 hand was hastily drawn away, pai. saucy black eyes flashed into his now, and Prudence's merry laugh rang over the water. rather have grandma's, please, I ought to go home, Mr. Wentforth, for I know it's almost tea time." Mr. Wentforth put his ring in his pocket and took up the oars again energetically, without word.

He was fresh from college, and had held the stroke oar in many a race, but he never made better time than he made that afternoon in rowing up the river. The light boat shot along with the rower's brows knitted and his teeth set. Not once did he look at Prudence, who sat in half puzzled, half alarmed silence, now and then stealing sidewise glances at the offended young Hero les from under her hat. Mr. Wentforth drew a breath of relief when the boat af last grated on the sand, and haring ated Prudence to land and curtly offered carry her lillies, he shouldered the oar.

and marched towards home by her side. Prudence, somewhat bewildered, and more angry, made no effort to break the silence, and studiously endearored to keep from crying. When he at last left her at the door, with a cool you, Miss Prudence, and departed to carry the oars to the barn, it was well he did not look back, for Miss Pruderce tossed the lillies aside with an impati gesture, and bad a fit of crying, with her head on the kitchen table. Whoa Mr. Wentforth returned from the barn half an hour later he did see a picture that comforted him little, through the pantry window.

It was Prudence Lith her sleeves pinned up moulding biscuita in desperate baste, while the tears fell thickly on her high calico apron. This picture so astonished Mr. Wentforth that be retreated hastily behind a lilac bush to observe it, and lingered so long that he was late at tea. This was a model supper. There was the great dish of berries with cream beside, flanked with cheese and raspherry jam.

There were two mountainous plates of snowy biscuit, contrasting with the rich goid of the spong cake and butter. Mr. Wentforth, who had supposed he should never have an appetite, felt quite revived by the sight of the table and the memory of the picture. The rest of the boarders seemed to share the sensation, for the group seemed very hilarious, and the eatables disappeared rapidly. Prudence out of spirits but Farmer Holmes atoned for silence by unusual jollity.

When the biscuits passed a -second time to Mr. Wentforth he saw that only oDe was left, and would have refused decorously, but the bospitable farmer pressed it upon him. be afraid of it. There are plenty more in the kitchen, ain't there, Prudenec Thus pressed, Mr. Wentforth accepted the biscuit, and Prudence disappeared to replenish the plate.

Mr. Wentforth divided the biscuit, then dropped it suddenly with an. exclamation that brought every eye upon him. There, imbedded in the light white bread, lay Prudence's ruby ring. Such a shout of laughter arose that brought Prudence back from the kitchen in haste, just in time to see Mr.

Wentforth coolly remove the ring from the biscuit, amidst the merry chorus, and drop it into his waistcoat "to be kept until called for," he said with a significant glance at her scarlet face. Poor Prudence There was now no peace for her after that. An army of jokes quite overwhelmed her protestations and disclaimings, and she was thankful to beat a hast; retreat to the kitchen when the meal was over, Bat even there she was pursued by a laughing trio of the ladies, harassed with questions and wonderment and merriment until the last dish was set away, aud she had seized her hat, with the excuse that she must go to the village however she stole along the hedge, climbed the wall, and ran to the furthest edge of the orchard, where she flung herself on the gronad and cried as if her heart would break. She had perhaps, cried half an hour, when a step crushed the dry grass at her side, roused her, and the very voice she most dreaded to hear said I've cove to return your ring, Miss Prudence. Poor little Prudence sat up hastily, and took the unfortunate ring with faltering "thank you," then immediately bid her again.

"You needn't thank me. I should have brought it before, but I could not find you. I hope you're not troubled about these ridiculous jokes," be added dignifiedly. -N-o," responded Prudence, miserably, between her sobs; thought you'd think I did it on purpose." could I have thought so? It WaS a mere accident my getting that particlar biscuit. I'm very sorry you've been so annoyed this way.

I'm going away to Miss Prudence." The sobs partially and Miss Prudence said, surprisingly, "Are you "Won't you bid me good bye Prudence said "Yes," unsteadily, but did not raise her head. No Answer. "I can't go away while you are offended with me. Won't you at least tell me why you are crying "Because I-I lost my grandmother's ring," sobbed Prudence, making a great effort composure. Mr.

Wentworth laughed in spite of himself. "Why it's safe on your finger and not a whit worse for its baking. Is there DO other reason." there is. I shall never have another happy moment if I've offended you," Mr. Wentforth, tragically.

"I was a brute to treat you as I did, this afterDOOD but I'm going away, and I shan.t annoy you again. Woun't you forgive me now, and shake hands Another long silence. Mr. Wentforth turned away in despair was detained by a faltering voice, "I--I'll forgive you "Well was the breathless interposition. The more observant boarders noticed at breakfast the Dext that Mr.

19. Since January, 1876, the A correspondent writes to the Harrisburg Patriot the following particulars of the late fire at "Hon. Henry M. Engle's farm, viz: This morning between the; hours of four and five o'clock, the barn of Hon. Henry M.

Eogle, residing a quarter of a mile west Marietta, was found to be on fire. It was first seen by Eli Portner, one of Eogle's working men, who was the first one of the family to g0 to the barn to feed the stock. Mr. Portner noticed a bright light, as he supposed, shining in at one of the windows of the house, and opening the door he saw the flames issuing from all parte of the He immediately gave the alarm, the balbarn. ance of Mr.

Engle's family still being in bed. Mr. Portner rushed to the stable in order to save the live stock, but here shocking sight: was to be seen--all the stock, twenty-nine in number, including eleven cows, two valuable alderney bulls, valued at $200 a piece, several cows, fullbred alderney, for which $100 a piece was refused -were enwrapped with one sheet of fire, and no living power could save them and they were all burned to a crisp. The ouly animals saved out of the thirty-three were four valuable mules, which Mr. Porter deserves the highest praise for, as he nearly lost his own life in saving these four brutes.

The heat WaS 80 great that he is considerably burned, but net seriously. Everything connected with the barn is in ruins. Mr. Engle's loss is very great, and he has the sympathy of the whole community. The following is a rough estimate of his losses: 29 head of cattle, $2,000, 250 bushels wheat, $290 10 tons hay, $250; 20 loads cornfodder, $200; 100 bushels oats, $60 8 tons straw, $90; 1 reaper, 190; all the farming utensils and barn valued at loss $7,680.

He intended to have sale about the first March. There is but little doubt that this was the work of an incendiary, and we do hope that the scoundrel, whosoever he may be, may be caught and bung on the first tree as he deserves to be. Of course our statue laws would not hang him, but justice ought to hang such persons who are cruel enough to burn twenty-nine innocent- empire has a uniform currency--all the old' gold, silver, copper and nickel coins of the various states comprising the empire having been called in and recoined.

Prognostigations -The Kentucky. Bone and the Weather. The Louisville Commercial says the goose bone predictions are perbaps more closely watched -in Kentucky than abywhere else, and it may be called the Kentucky weather prophet.

In many, parts of the State the farmers consult it, and prepare for handling their crops in accordance with its predictions. It is said that there is a family in Woodford coonty that have fifty of these little prophets carefully laid away, and declare that pot one of them made a mistake in their predietions. Let us turn to this year's prophecy. We must take the breastbone of a last Spring's goose--none will do, for the prophecy does not extend beyond the year in which the goose is hatched. Thanks to a friend, wo, have such a bone.

It must be divided into three different parts, which represent the three divisions of The breast bone of a goose is translucent, but places have cloud like blots upon it. These blots denote cold weather. Looking at the bone before us, we find a little cold weather about the first of December, which we have realized, and there is another blot beyond the centre of the bone, denoting cold weather about the middle of January; this cloud we have passed, and so far our little prognosticator has guided us right. The darkest blots are near the end of the bone, and if the prophecy fails not, winter will verify the saying of coming in like a lamb and going out like a roaring lion. Our coldest weather will come after the middle of February, and our warmest fires will be required for the parting days of winter and the first days of spring.

This is the -bone prophecy, and as we have the word of a good farmer that it has not failed for fifty years, we would advise the laying in of a good supply of coal, and general preparations to meet cold weather -or the goose bone has said it, and old winter will after young spring with a great big icicle." Feeding of Young Pigs. An experienced farmer, with whom we recently conversed, said he had always good luck with pigs, and a visit to his sties confirmed the assersion. Some notes 00 his management can hardly fail to 9 prove interesting. The prevalent idea that pigs should be kept constantly growing is a good one, but liable nevertheless, to mislead. It is not best to stuff pigs as full as they will hold, and especially those just weaned.The sucking pig gets his rations often and in moderate quantities of food the simplest and and most easily digested.The sow's milk is full of flesh and boneforming material, and promotes a steady, -uniform growth, building up frame without too great accumulating fat.Weaning time is naturally and justly regarded as a critical period, and here is where farmers are apt to err in high feeding with rich and concentrated food.

Cow's milk is excellent, and if most the cream bas been skimmed off, it probably comes nearer the pig's natural food at this tender age than any other. But milk is rejected as not rich and "fattening" enough, abd corn meal, the most concentrated kind of food, is substitued in its stead. Now corn meal is altogether too difficult of digestion for weaning pigs, and at most should only be given in small proportions; with an exclusive corn meal diet the young pigs will stop yo growing longer or larger framed and begin to pile on the fat 00 carcasses too small for profitable feeding. A great deal better plan is to continue feeding milk, and this sparingly, adding a little bran and very small quantity of cornmeal. The last can be increased as the pigs become accustomed to the change diet and their stomach will bear a stronger food.

The wheat bran and skim milk supply the phosphates which build up the pig's frame, while a very little corn meal will supply the fat-forming material which taken from milk in cream, and at a greatly reduced cost. At no time should pigs be starved or stinted, but it is important to remember that pigs may be dwarfed by feeding too much and too rich food and with as bad results as from feeding too little. Great care is needed in feeding any kind of very young animals, and the pig, being especially piggish in his greed, is particularly liable to injury from eating too heartily. With all young animals' growth rather than fat should be aimed at, and phosphatio foods should given as far as possible. Corn in every stage belongs to the last and fattening stage of feeding of any kind of stock, instead of being used indiscriminately for stock of all -Rural New Yorker.

Brindle's Leap. Years ago, while still working at home, went one day to tie my father's cows, opened the stable door, and the queen of the yard- -old Brindle--started in, but stopped inside the door and would go no further. Thinking it was because the stable was dark, I urged her, but to no purpose I kicked, and found two could play at that game. Her conduct was so unusual that I then began to investigate, and found that 8 sunbeam came through a crack and reached across the stable just before her, making the little dancing motes plainly visible, and looking -for all the world -like a bar newly put up, over which she could scarcely leap, and under which she felt it impossible to crawl. Enjoying her perplexity now that its cause was plain, I waited and laughed to see her lift her bead, (evidently comparing the height of the supposed obstruction with some fence over which the mischievous creature had broken in past days) and then give it up, as was plain by the fact that she began to calculate the chances of crawling under, and shook her head at it.

Explanation was useless, as it is in sundry like cases among more intelligent animals, and the fun was too good to spoil by coercion. At length I went round and poured the sliced turnips slowly into the manger. This was too much. Old Brindie evidently made up her mind that she must risk everything for the mess. So, with a sudden leap, she cleared the obstruction, without touching, (though she came down just where it would have -a feat which evidently astonished her, -and took her place at the manger.

She looked as if she could not see any reason for the shout that greeted her. It was serious business to her. And ever since, if I see one delaying to do a plain duty for various reasons which seem real and formidable to him, but are only sunshine-or moonshineto any one else, I always think of old Briadle, and endeavor to find out what is turvip to' him, in order to coax him on with it. But many a man makes as unnecessary and ludicrous a leap in getting clear of imaginary obstructions as did old Brindle. per There are almost always people some in every community who imagine themselves, in the common phrase, "very smart," and they are generally of the more harm in a town or neighborhood body kind.

One of these can do than a dozen good people can set rights. No minister ever comes into place but that these "smart" ones can pick any amount of flaws in his every -day walk, or his sermons are always too long or too short, too soft or too bard, or "he can't preach," hundred other imaginary imperfections which the less pretentious never think of mentioning. But these knowing ones do not stop here; for no enterprise was ever started but what is eptirely contrary to their views. Other folks never build a pigpen, a smokehouse, a corncrib, a barn, a dwelling, schoolhouse, or a church, to suit these "run' according to ideas of the babblers; and no newspaper, ever WAS business, "and I won't have nothing do with it, and I'll keep everybody else from it that I can."
