Why was it that I was not favored, like many other little girls who had wee, slen- der claws of white hands, and whose thin mouths puckered romantically, and who had interesting holIOWs inl their cheeks, and sunken blue places under their sad eyes, and fine pencil- lings of veinery in their pretty tem- ples? I was sound and hard, and brown and ugly, and was always called Tom, because I liked to climb How ominous the sound of the cream as it was poured illâ€"what threats it did seem to make, as it shouted out. in a hoarse. laughy, gut tural voice: “Ah-h-h, my little lady, little lady, ah-hâ€"h 1” Then the freshly sealded dasher was put in, the drops wiped off, a few dashes taken by the maternal hand to ee that it had the right tone, and i was Wheeled into an out-of-the-Way dark corner, away from doors and windows, and glimpses of blue sky, and dreamy hillsides, and like temptations. Then the little chair was placed beside the churn, and with clean hands and clean apron I stepped up into it as one would march to the pillory or guillotine, and was left alone in my glory. Oh, that churnl I Wish I’d only known, “to such vile uses must ye come at last,” when I looked upon its white staves, and wondered how ‘Adam ever did find out how to make churns out of separate staves, and make them fit closely enough to hold sour cream. I used to wish he’d not had such good, close tools; then, sometime, when a poor, little eight- years-old girl was churning away like a lady, and the honest sweat standing on her forehead, and sneaking down her neck, and stealing down into her bosom, why the churn would just fall apart, and the cream be spilled, in a way good enough for anybody’s mamma. I sit here warming my feetâ€"the ground'is white with snow, and the bleak sky is covered with clouds of cold, dull gray. I take out the poker to draw out the red, red coals into full View, for I so love this cheery glow. As I lay the little stub of a wooden poker down, I involuntarily say, “Oh, dear! oh, dear!” just as if my frame was rent with pain. Strange, that touching the little, unseemly poker, should wrench the cry from me, and yet it did; and though it forced acry from me every day, I would not lay it on the fire, and see it turn to a little white surf of ashes “that one puflc of breath could scatter into air. 1 No, it does me good, as does you grinning, bony skull, which was once as I am now; or yon rough cross, with the vine hiding the baseâ€"bold, hard symbol-two stern, yet kind re- minders that IJove to touch my cheek against, . and lean my Weary brow upon. _ ~ * v- ‘ ‘The’little'pok‘er is one stave out of the old churn we had when I was a little girl, and every one who was ever a child, in a country-home, re- members the ban that came with the early sunshine on churning-day. The white-pine churn, large at the bottom and small at the top, was rolled out resolutely, and the sound it made seemed to say to me, “Heel heel heel here Icomel hee, hee, heel” a confused babbling laugh, somewhere between a vicious, bantering giggle, and a mild kind of profane language â€"language too wicked for good folks to use, and too much diluted for down- right swearers.

That (Teals the cruel blow‘ BY ROSELLA RICE RICHMOND HiLL, ONTARIO, CANADA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1873 l Then I turned my back resolutely l and began counting the strokes of the ‘dasher. This is the best plan I know to make one forget the tedium and in- sure steady work. I churned one hundred without stopping, then I sat down panting and resting awhile, and read Robinson Crusoe, a little book loaned me bya neighbor’s son. For I might get hungry and feel too faint to work, I put a couple of potatoes in the hot ashes to roast. Then I began to churn again and to sing the old, familiar ditty of “Come, butter, come.” I had on previous occasions found the result of this solicitation to be all that one could desire. But it did no good this time, though I sang it vigorously twenty times over, sang it with varia- tions and additions, and the most im- portunate invitations, but not one little speck was visible. She went back to her work in the third story of our high rumbling, pic- turesque old house, and I made a good deal of music on the churn until the click-clack of the 100m warranted me in stopping. Then I took a basin of water, turned my pocket inside out and cleaned and washed it. It was a dirtyjob and sickened me for a. While after. “Oh, I’ll bounce into it and soon have it done, mamma ; you see I had to go out.” said I, putting on a brave, bright face, but keeping just as far away from the dirty muss of a pocket as circumstances would allow. v “See here, my lady,” said my mother, “ this churning Will come in one half~hour if you work steadily, but if you trifle, it won’t come to-day, and I’m bound that you shall do it if it keeps you busy until you are eigh- teen years of age ; so you know What to depend on.” I was just thinking that this must be to hens what swimming and diving and plouting about in the creek is to little girls, when I heard my poor mother’s “ hoo-hoo l” I answered “ hoo I” and started to run back to the house to finish the churning, think- ing I would appease my mother’sjust wrath with the nice fresh 0 ‘g I had found, but, what had I done with that egg? Alas, I had put it in my pocket in my new linen dress and had lain down on that side whileI was so leisurely watching the hen rolling! I felt in cautiously, and withdrew my hand even more cautiously, as I sick- ened and wiped my fingers on the grass. Of course I would not be outwitted by a hen, nobody would, so I follOwed her at asafe distance and looked just as innocent and unsuspicious as a little girl could. But I found, after awhile, that she was only seeking her wallowing place in the cool, loose loam, so I sat down and pretended to be braiding grass and timothy, and watched her scratch the cool earth all up among her feathâ€" ers, and tussle about and lave her sides, and breast, and thighs, and stretch out her unshapel y legs and lie like a. great ungainly, roasted towll with never a joint or hinge in her long. yellow limbs and horny feet. While I was getting the egg I saw another hen walk ofi’ slyly, just as if she had a hidden nest, she acted kind of sneaking, looking back at me over her shoulder when she thought I didn’t see her. - " I clapped my hands and replied, he darted down head foremost and alighted on the 01d mossy wellâ€"curb, and we chatted, and chirped, and chee’d, and laughed with each other royally. Then my mother heard us and reminded me of the churning. Oh, dear! I wished folks ate pump- kin sauce on their bread instead of butter, but I seized hold of the heavy dasher and worked away until a shrill cackle informed me that there lay a fresh egg ready for the ' gleaher, so I ran out to get it, for didn't my mother say, bring in all the fresh eggs you can to make custards, and hadn’t I ought to obey the mother who had given me birth, and who had cared for me during my helpless infancy when I didn’t know but that even pins were good to eat and good to swal- low. . The dear little robby stretched his mouth from ear to ear, and hung by his toes, and tipped his head down and seemed to sing: “Why, Rosie, why, Rosie! whee~o, WheeLO. Rosie, heigho, heigho, Rosie, whee-o!” Just then a robin alighted in the top of the poplar, and sang so sweetly that it would have been irreverent to have plodded at the old dasher Whose swashy sound of “choo-o-choo,” had no music in it. So I shaded my eyes and leaned on the post by the porch and listened, and admired,~and ans- Wered back softly so my mother wouldn’t hear. One June day the churning was un- usually largeâ€"two jars of creamâ€"and I had my orders not to leave it until it was ready to gather. My little chair was placed beside the churn, and I stood in it and tugged at the dasher until my arms ached so I could hardly use them. I knew I’d ought to rest, so I sat down mercifully and improved the time by reading how elephants were caught in the jungles of Africa. That led me on to read‘ about lionsuand tigers, and leopards, and after I’d finished them I went back to the churn with renewed Vigor. trees, and turn summersaults, and ride 'the farm-horses, and walk on stilts, and fly from high places so splendidly on my jumping-pole. have heard of butter being be- “How do you feel?

Oh, child, what’s the mat- ter? You’re as white as a sheet I” In a few moments I felt so badly that I wished I’d not swallowed it. In a few moments more I thought I’d rather churn all day then feel so sick ; it didn’t seem so interesting. ' Ten years to do a churning just in the- budding of my childhood! I’d show mistress mammal I reached into the wallet and took out a long, black, sticky twist, and taking up the bread-knife out off some bits and swallowed them, then mounted my little chair and began singing at the top of my voice : “ Broad is the road that leads to death.” I only knew that one line, but it was sufficient, and I thought rather appropriate for the momentous oceé - sion. r Then I cried the harder, and said, now if I could only get sick, real sick, so as to lie in bed on mamma’s pillow, and have her feel of my forehead, and give me nice tea and toast, that would be a good thing, and I wouldn’t have to chain, and she’d pity me and be sorry, and ’fraid I was going to die, and I’d have a splendid time of it. I did wish I knew how to get sick. I stood and studied and, studied, and suddenlyI remembered seeing a little boy get deathly sick at school when a big fellow coaxed him to swallow a bit of tobacco. What hindered me from doing the same ? Be sure there was no big boy to give me the dose, but didn’t my papa’s little linen tobacco-wallet hang just inside the cellar door ? I could help myself. The result would be so interesting, too. But, oh. dear, I’d rather die than to churn that longl So I sat down and cried most heartily. If I had to stand at that old churn ten years, who would Johnny Greene give all his sweet apples toduring the winter, if I wasn’t at school? And Cal Wiggins would get all the head marks then. And 'LO what girl would little Jim 0 hamber give his chew of pine gum after he was done with it, if Zelle wasn’t there to get it? That would just suit me. I had often coaxed mamma to loan me her side-saddle to fasten on a log, or on top of the fence, and shejust “ booted” at me; but now I’d show mistress mamma when I was eighteen. I would sell my heifer and buy red and white candy, and keep the bed to turn summersaults on, and trade the spin~ ning-Wheel for toy-books, and keep the side-saddle to ride on among the logs at the Wood-pile; and the other thing, 'if it was a wind-mill, I’d preâ€" sent it to my poor old grandpapa, who had been confined to his bed for many years with paralysis; and if it was a broom, I’d keep it to ride on when we chaps played “keep house” evenings when our parents had gone to singing school. While dreaming away, I heard a little “ twittl twitt I” in the chimney, and looking up' saw a “twittâ€"bird” ‘flitting about on the high-up rim of the chimney-top. “ You little dear,” I said; “how I wish I had your wings and your freedom I” And here I cried right out; for didn't mamma say she’d keep me at this until I was eighteen, ifI didn’t finish it? That must be a long, long While. I tried to count how many years, but I could' not; so I got an ear of corn and pick- ed off eighteen grains, and laid them down in-a row, and then took eight away, and found I’d have to churn just ten years. , i I thought it would be a nice thing to be eighteen years old, for all the girls in our neighborhood received a “setting out” at that age; a, side- saddle and heifer, a spinning-Wheel and a bed, and something else, a broom, or a Windmill, or some other article I couldn’t exactly remember. Then I .leaned my” hand and my forehead on the dasher and pondered, and thought it might be possible that old, old, old, old, old Mrs. Endor was one of our materfial ancestors. Then I fell to wondering if any of Mrs. Endor’s posterity yet lived, and, if they did, whether they looked like other folks, and if their little girls wore copperas and white check linen dresses, and if they ever broke eggs in their podkets, and if the Endors Were fond of butter, and whether they made their own or just bought it at haphazard, not knowing who made it, or Whether it bad hair in it or not, clean or dirty. Witched, but my mother said there were no Witches now, and all such talk was folly and superstition, that the last witch on the face of the earth was the witch of Endor, the one who called Samuel up from the dead in Bible days. on her bed and begah rubbing - Teefy, Esq. The Troy Times give the following as a true dog story: A family down town having a false grate in one oi the rooms of the house placed some red paper behind it to give the effect offire. One of the coldest days last winter the dog belonging to _ the household came in from out of doors, and seeing the paper in the grate deliberately walked up and laid down before it, curled up in the best way to receive the glowing heat as it came from the fire. He remained motion- less for a 1eW minutes; feeling no warmth he raised his head and looked over his shoulder at the grate; still feeling no heat he arose and carefully applied his nose to the grate and smelt of it. It was- as cold as ice. With a look of most supreme disgust, his tail curled down between his legs, every hair on his body saying, “ I’m sold,” the dog trotted out of the room, not even deigning to east a look at the party in the room, Who had watched his actions and laughed so heartin at his misfortunes. That dog has reason as well as instinct. Sineerity is to speak as we think, to do as we pretend and confess, to perform and make good What we promise, and really to be What we would seem and appear to be. ‘* Which side 0fthe street do you live on, Mrs. Kipple ?” asked a counsel, cross-examing a Witness. “ On either side, sir. If you go one way, it’s on the right side: if you go on the other way, its on the let'tfi” So it is with a very Serious and Lunughtfuldogree of revenge that I used. one of the old staves for a poker for the little stove in my room. fitill, I do somewhat enjoy punching it into the coals and allowing it to burn a little, While it gratifies me. That old churn was one of the clouds in my Childhood’s summer sky for many, many long years ; but at last our father replaced it with one by which I could sit and read and churn, and make a pleasantenjoyable pastime of this necessary item of housework. Then the rolls of butter seem flavored with sweet poetry, and stories, and biography, and as I spread it on my bread I was reminded of this bit of descriptive scenery, and that thrilling narrative, and this rare poemâ€"â€"g00d things I had read while churning. The old churn was used to keep nuts ~in for years, and then onions, and I was sad and sorry both when a boy ran his sled against it and it tumâ€" bled to pieces, an old shattered thing. It seems they gave me credit; f0_r wanting to learn to use tobacco be- cause my papa. did, and I was very willing they should believe it so. Papa went, and I heard a low bfiiz’ of voices, a suppressed giggle, more whispering, some pleasant altercation, a little more laughter, then she said: “Well, that is the force of example ; she thinks Whatever you do is right, and manly, and she takes you for a pattern. Poor little thing, I’ll never say a word about it to her, she’s suf- fered enough. But, Aleok, you’d ought to be ashamed of your filthy habit after this.” My mother looked at me strangely. I felt so drowsy just then, and closed my eyes immediately. She stepped inside the cellar d oor, and pretty soon she said in a soft tone, not meant. for my ears: “ Come here, Aleck." It just recurred to me that instant that I had slipped the bead knife away side by side, with the huge black plug.- I started up scared, and hurriedly replied: “ Maybe it’s got into papa’s tobaccoâ€"wallet; whoknows?” ThenI settled down, “and. the subsequent proceedings interested me no more.” When my mother had supper ready, she said: “ Zelia, Idon’t see the bread- knif‘e,‘ do you know where it is ?” I felt very serene and pleasant by this time, lying there, the chief point of attraction, and I had paid so dearly for the gratification that I didn‘t mind an occasionalprobe that my consci- ence gave me. I called for the little mirror, and was perfectly satisfied with the real face so nearly approximating to the interesting ideal face of my solicitous dreams. I was propped up in bed, pale, and wan, and exhausted, when my father came to supper. My mother told him the doleful tale with a good deal of ViSible White in her scared eyes. He sat on the bedside, and said he was sorry, and hoped I would be well enough to ride old J abez to water the next day. After severe sickness I grew better, and my wish was gratified. I lay in her bed, my head on her pillow, her counterpane over me, and her kind hands made the toast and tea and propped me up and fed me. Just then I sickened and threw up something, and she held my head and moaned. Oh, I was very, very sick ; it was death almost; and I felt so feeble that I couldn’t exerhmyself enough to tell her. Pretty soon she smell; the tobacco, and she said: “ Why, seems to me I smell tobacco I” And she sniffed to the right, and snifl'ed to the left, but did not mistrust me. She did not find any link be- tween my sudden illness and the loathesome smell. plant or other! Oh, my child ! What will I do ? Suchayoung ’un, so queer and strange! Oh, my poor Zelle l” and she wrung her hands in a paroxâ€" ysm of grief. A. strange and painful occurrence is reported from the neighborhood of Knobb’s school-house, Mariposa. A fine span of horses belonginging to Mr. Thomas Earls, near Cambray, Were some time ago driven to Mr. Joseph Coad’s for a jackâ€"screw, and while wait- ing a ewarm of bees settled on the horses. The horses at once lay down on the ground, keeping perfectly quiet ; but the people present, instead of care fully brushing off the bees, killed a. number, and this angered the remain- der. They stung the poor horses until the latter presented a pitiable appearâ€" Vzmee. Remedies were applied, and they were unharnessed and driven home. I‘heir heads were badly swollen; and on the following day one of the horses, :1. fine black valued at $150, died in great agony. The other was bled free- ly, and has now nearly recovered. p The man who boughm dog to keep ofi‘ burglars, and had his filmy-dollar suit of clothes torn into sLi-ips and two big mouthfuls taken out of his calves in trying to enter his own back-yard, has recovered from his canine attachment. He yearns to realize on that animal. “ N 0 stammering person ever found any difficulty in singing. The reason of this is that by observing the measure of the music, by keeping time, the or- gans of speech are’kcpt in such position that enunciation is easy. Apply the same rule to reading or speech, and the same result will follow. Let the stam- merer take a sentenceâ€"~say this one, Leander swam the Hellespont. Proâ€" nounceit by syllables. Scan it, keep- ing time with the finger if necessary, letting each syllable occupy the same time, thus, â€" Le-anâ€"der-sWamâ€"the-Hel- lesâ€"pont, and he will not stammer. Let him pronounce slowly at first, then faster, but still keeping time, keeping time with words instead of syllables, and he‘ will be surprised to find that, by a very little practice, he will read without stammering, and nearly as raâ€" pidly as persons ordinarily talk or read. i‘hui practice this in reading and conâ€" versation until the habit is broken up. Perseverance is all that is necessaryjo perform a pg ‘i t cure. being 7that they would( neyer‘quit‘ they had got satisfaction and were even. Accordingly supper was given them and they remained locked up all night; however, it is supposed that a party of vigilantes, the existence of some such organization having been for some time surmised, broke into the store-room and carried 011' the men, who were found the next morning hanged Within a. mile of the sawâ€"mills. It may be added that to mark their sincerity in stopping the whiskey traffic, all the spirits in store which was in any way under the conâ€" trol of - the company, were bought up and destroyed. There has been a. per- fect exodus of roughs from Hall Gulch since yesterday morning, and it is sus- pected that they will not return.” One who was a. stammerer for years writes,â€" A correspondent of the Rocky Moun- - Main News, writing from Hall Valley, Colorado, on the 14th inst, gives the following graphic'description of a whis- key disturbance there, and its result: “ During the last few months the new mining camp in Hall Gulch has rapidly grown in importance, nearly 300 men being employed either on the works in , process of construction by the company or else in prospecting and mining. ’ Latterly a, good deal of lawlessness has; . manifested itself, more especially since the establishment of a whiskey and g V gambling outfit by two men named Boice and Hall. So serious at} length became the state of affairs that the ; company decided to engage no more? men on their tramway, mines or other works who did not at the same time en- gage to abstain frOm patronizing the - said establishment. ‘ At the same time the sale of whiskey was stopped wher- ever they had authority, and a. number of the most incorrigible hands dismissed. This no doubt enraged Messrs. Boice and Hall, who had for several days been indulging in threats of serious im- port, involving the murder of several men against whom they had an especial spite. On August 12th things came to a crisis. The whiskey party apâ€" peared at the settlement armed 'with v revolvers, threatened several men, and pointed their revolvers at others, occa- sionally varying the programme by?~ sending a shot among the houses. In view of the critical position and danger a party Was rapidly armed with rifles, and, getting within a short distance of the ,desperadoes, rushed in and disarmed them. They first drew their revolvers, but, being covered by a half dozen rifles, dropped them when ordered. They were then securely locked up in an empty store-roomâ€"not, however, before they had solemnly declared their intenâ€" tion of shooting those who had now dis- armed them the first chance they got. The company’s oflicers, under these circumstances, decided to send them under a strong escort to Fairplay, and hand them over to the authorities, and a fourâ€"mule team was hitched up for the purpose ; but it being late in the after- noon, and a night journey being consid- ered undesirable, as an escape would be certainly attempted, it was finally de- cided to keep them locked up till the morning.
