Dress and bullons were ol great importance to my litlle heroine,for money wju by no means bountifully sup plied in her well worn portmuunaie, and a RUW tlriias Wtti lather all event in her daily life. She was walking quietly Along thinking thai it her dress was chosen ol a sober mouse color tor econo my sake, at least the buttons and bp^iij were t>iue as her UWU eyes, uiuJ would match the blue ribbons uf her hai very nicely. Then she wondered if Bert Gil more would see her ou Sun.lay in t(ie new suit, and if he admired the combina* tiou of tnou?c color and blue in a walk· it g dre»e. Wilh »uch absorbing topics Ι··ι meditatii-n, il was not wondcrlul that Lotii·» had forgotteu entirely the day ol ihe worth, and stopped with surpruo and the pleasure of η discoverer, be belore a bundle lying across the side walk, evidently dropped by suiue one in advance of her. She looked up Ihe >Ueet and down, but no one was near enough to be questioned, so she stopped and lilted 'he package, adding it to bel ow η bundle, and continuing on her way, homeward, hurrying a little that she might examine her acquisition. ••See, mamma, what I have fouud in the street It was not a very tempting looking bundle that .«he held up not a neatly tied dry goods package, or ιι white paper covered confectioner'» store of sweets. It was a caielessly wrapped newspaper covered package,rather long and natrow, and not veiy large. Still, there was lather an exulting ring in Lottie's tone, as she cried; "See, mamma, what 1 lound in the street Γ Her lace tell as a shout came from htr brother Tom, a lad of Igu, who looked up, and, before her mother could answer, shouted "April Fool Ο Loitie what a goose I I'll bet there's nothing in it but straw, or rags or old newspapers. Open it, Lottie. There!" he cried, «gain, us hie dieter opi ned the parcel, *Ί told you so, nothing hut a parcel of old paper».1' Mrs Wilkinson smiled at i-iottie'a dis uppointetl face. a* «lie hastily wrapped liiu paper* up again, and thrust (bunt on a lower shnll of the sitting rooiu closet, a sort of general receptacle lor odds and ends ul -«II Hinds, and especially lor wasto paper. The buttons wore displayed next, and by the tiiue Louie had put away her hat and shawl and was seated putting the last stitches in the pretty walking suit, Torn had gone off to a game of loot ba I and the April Kool parcel was for· j golteu. Mrs. Wilkinson had l»een a widow since Tom had tirst opened his great saucy blue e)es upon the world, and j Lottie then but eight years old, had but little recollection ol lather who had i spent most of his time away from home. He had lielil the situation of travelling clerk in a commercial house in New Yotk city, and during his lifetime hi· family ijvci! handsomely in th-U city. Upuu his death, his widow had found that lier means were sufficient to support her in couiftxl if used frugally, but were far too small lor the style of living; warranted ot lit* salary. A country house was at once drcideïl upon, a cottage purchased in 11.mover, and fomiture jcUvU'd Iron) j the cit} mansion and senftliei e. lier in· come was sufficient tor every comfort, but there «j» tio margin tor luxurjea, in.I tiianv an a|1)c|u u| dress Wa· lull impim-liuse*! ι f mi (lie *u»n laid aside for l'on cdtu-.ition might grow in iiulk.

April *as u week uld when, one even ing lleibeitcame to Mrs. Wilkinson's [dettsant parlor evidently in a state ol great excitement. Lottie w;|t aloue, Miwing (oh, ye rowautio a patch on l|',o dIUoW of Tom's jacket. "Lottie, put down that sewing, do,and hear my news,1' Snob sympathizing blue eyes are not always raised for news. "I've hud a windfall. "What is it, Bert?" «·I never would tell you about this lawsuit before, Lottie, because I did no consider my chance wo:lh a pin but it is different, now, and I want to tell yon about it." "I am listening, Beit." "My father had two brothers au»l one sister, my Uncle Martin. Uncle Godfrey, and Aunt Elsio. Years ago Uncle God· hey and Uncle Martin accumulated large fori unes, but father was too liberal and open hearted to save much, and never wai a rich man. Some two years befo»e he died Aunt Efiie married a man as poor as himself, but good and true.— Uncle Godtrey opposed this match bitter ly, and when she vy»*\s left a widow alter j six month* of married life, he refused j her any assistance. She was then very j ill with what has since developed into spine disease, and father took her home. In furious wrath Uuclc Godfrey made a will, leaving his entire fournie lo Unck Martin. I was but a lillle child when all this happened, but I heard ol it. Sonic five yearn ago Uncle Godfrey sent lor mc to make iiiin η visit, and during that visit we became attached lo each other. Να longer the stern, augry man who disin herited my father, he was softened and penitent, and spoke mosl kindly of Aunt Before I loll him he promised to revoke his unjust will, giving mw my father's share, and Aunt Elsie hers. I)o I tire you with my long story ?r "No, Indeed !n "Two years ago Uncle Godfrey died. Uncle Martin, as the oldest brother, look ont loiters ol administration, and claim· od the property ol the old will. Hut be· hold neither old nor new will could be lonnd! I was not of age, and my guard· iaus and Auat Klsie at once claimed the division of (lie estate according to law. So commenced the suit, and to morrow the decision will be giveu iu court. But a few days ago, Uncle Martin, in turning over some deeds an4 mortgage papers, found the will, leaving hint the entire property." "O.

They were yours, anil it was only honest to return them." Little oould ho guess, by the clear, steady blue eyes, what a wakclul, weep ing night her honesty had cost. "Why did you keep them a week "I did not lcuow what they were until last evening." "Can't you read "I did not examine the parcel. I lound it in the street on April Fool's day, and thought it was a trick parcel." "Humph Nice mess Tomfeolery grumbled the old man. 4,Aud pray," he said, "how came you to ascertain last orening that it was not a trick parcel." Lottie hesitated a moment, then she said: "Mi. Herbert Gilmore told me you lost a parcel ol vuluable papers on the first of April, and I looked to ascertain if they were the same ones I found." "Herbert Gilmore Then you are—" "Mies Charletto Wilkinson. Good morning, Mr. Gilmore." '•Jitay-»·slay a moment! Did Herbert tell you what these papers were?" "Yes, sir." "And that one," and he held up the will, "deprives him of fitly thousand dollars "Yes, sir." '•And so you were willing to deprive him of his fortune "lie would not have a stolen inheri tauce," said the young girl indignantly. "He is young, and can make his own way in the world." "We," (and a bright little blush followed the pronoun) "do not need a lot tune to be happy." "Then the finding of the will is a mat ter of indifference to you "No, sir.

Good bye, now; I must go to court and deliver up the re· j tnaindsr of liOttie's April Fool Bundle. 1 J'hiiosophy of Fryiny. The Christian Union say» that the ob I ject of ail cookiug is to bring about those chemical changes in the articles of food which nature everywhere produces it) vegetable and animal substances, when 1 exposed to the influença ol heat Bak- ing, frying, boiling or roosting, are all j only no many different methods of ap· i plying heat. The commonest, the most convenient, the cheapest and «juickest of these method* is frying, which can be applied to almost all articles of food, which requires inn icasi apparatus until the smallest tire; yet of all methods it is i one least understood, the one which des troys the most food, and il the cause of uiore indignation and dyspepsia than :ill the other methods combined. Tho tea·' son ol this is that in many substances the admixture ot tat prevents the chemical prooevses ut cooking Iron» having their proper development. ΓΙκ perfection f frying would be to have tho food fried without coming into contact with the lut at all. tint as this is, of course, a soil evident impossibility, the noxt best thing is to have the foud come into contact with the fat us little as poaeiblo. This is ι accomplished simply by having the fat hot; grease of any disoription is capable of being heated to a very much higher temperature than water, in fact, it can be made almost three times as hot as boiling water. Whan fat is at its boiling point it is so hot that any article of tood brought into contact with it is actually burnt, and this is precisely the reason why, lor purposes of frying^ Int should always be boiling hot. For any article ι of iood, a doughnut, for example, dip- j pi.d into boiling tat, is immediately cov- j ered all over with a thin cru >t of burnt doughnut, which prevents the fat from penetratiug turthcr in. and enables the rest ot tho dougbtnut to bo exposed to u geater degree ot heat than can be applied to it by any other process, without coin- ing in contact with the tat, aud the nat ural chemical process goes on inside with a greater vivacity and to a greater de- grce of perfection than can be obtained by any other method. Perfect frying is tho perfection ol cooking, but so soon a.» the fat in not sutlieiently hot to create the burnt crust around the artiole fried, then the tat penetrates it and absolutely pre ▼ents cooking from taking place al all. If the fat U not boiliug, bubbling hut, the process that takes place is not cook in«r, but simply drenching the food with a tepid fat, aud rendering it totally indi- j gestiblc. It makes no difference how hot the fat is made afterwards, the mis chief is done the moment the fat pene- 1 trates inside. All perfectly fried food has a thin, crisp, brown outside crust, which has in iUelf a pleasant, relishing taste, and is perfectly tree from even the suspicion of fat inside, except what was intentionally put thcro by tho cook. AU j housekeepers know that to fry well their fat should bo hot. Hut thoy do not at tend to it half as scrupulously as they would if they understood the tiuo philos ophy of It. Boiling, bubbling, hot fat cannot penetrate anything, and cooks ί to perfection tepid fat penetrates every where and does not cook at all, but actu ally prevents cooking. Any housekeeper who reads this, and ohooses to profit by it, need never put any greasy, fried, halt-cooked and indigestible food upon her table. The whole seeret consists in having llio (at boilimj hot before tfu things art put in. Thefe is one other condition which iollows naturally trom this lirsi ono, hot which is almost invaii ably lo*t sight ol even by good cooks, and thai is thai llio lut should entirely cover the article lo be fried. The reason ol this is, that the part not at once cov ered li)· the fat romains cold, cools olV iho lal near it, and then absorbs the tepid fat just the same as it it had never been hot. Frying pans should bo deep, well filled, and heated to I lie boiling point, and then it is easy lo turn out tried food crisp, brown, and dry on the outside, and perfectly soil, moist, and well cooked within. It is a peculiarity oi the cooked cru>t of things fried in boiling fat that the fat itself drips olT from it as readily as water; bonce, well fried articles are neither greasy in appcarauce, nor very greasy in reality. Frying ought to bo as easy as boiling. Ritual of the Colil Water Tent plat's. OPENING CEREMONY. C. TV—The officers will take their re spective stations, and the members come to order. *6'. T.—The V.

The counsel tor prosecution ar .rued that a* cider lias been declared an intoxicating liquor, and the détendant b:ul sold it, the burden rested upon him in prove that he was the manufacturer 11· believed the intent ot thu law was n.jl to make a miUmfa&Mr ot evei V ;ifi>on wiio wanted to sell cider over the counters ol low, miserable grogger.o, but to close up such places, and puuudi the vender.

It is hard to find a in in ol a η 3" standing in any party in this State, unies·* it is one who is interested in the Iratlic, who does not believe in enforced prohibition in some lortn. There may be differences of opinion a* to the details, or the extent ot carrying oui tin· prohibitory principle, but that the liquor traflic should be restrained. ami kept within proper limits by the strong arm ol ι he law, all are agreed. I This union ol sentiment, us to legal and moral forces, argune well for l.iio temperance c uise. When tho legal man supplements hi-· eâ'orts at prohibitio· with the engine of moral reform, and the moral reformer invoke? the aid ot law to second his efforts and preserve what he has rescued, the friends ol both, who believe in success only in th* union ol the two loi ces, have little to fear. Wc sincerely hope that the political parties which are soon to meet and put forth their declaration ol principles, will, by common consent, leave this subject out, regarding it as u lived fact, not to be materially meddled with l»y any party. \lucli mischief h is been done in the name and at the expense f temperance already. Tkere may be s une defects in the present law, and some changes could doubtless be made, which would rentier it less obnoxious, and ui the tamo time not impair its efficiency. The present cider lan is unpopular in some quarters, and perhaps jutly. We regard the weak point in this 'aw to be the one which allows the manufacturer to sell in small quantities. The cider law was made in the interest of the orchardist, and for the encouragement «t' one of the industrial intercuts of the State, lint portaMr cider pre->es are cheap, and the person who wishes to use cider to cover up the traffic in itronger water, has only to provide the press and the apples, and the law cannot rea h him Now the party in law ran l e -ο modified ji- to ςίτoliee force may he dismissed for want ol an\thing; to do; our police judge sat s there is little need ol his court; the man who keeps the •tat ion-house at police headquarter says he has nothing to do, and for several days and nights consecutively, nobody was arrested by the police. The overseers of the poor say that al ready, in their department, a marked im provement has taken place, and if it con tinues many thousands ol dollars will be saved to the tax-payeis; and employers ot labor say that their workmen now come to their places promptly on the Monday morning, the same men who never bcfoie came until Tuesday morn ing. and sometimes not until Wednesday, losing nearly, or quite, ono-third ol their time. Already hard drinking men are observed to be sober-the grog-shop» being put out ol the way; and in two days alter the law went into effect,a man living just outside the city lines, went home from his day'* work in town sober, the urst timo for fifteen years. Already a liiHii ha* come to me to pay his rent, who had not paid a penny lor three months and mere, though a skilled meeuanic; and he paid the arrears at the sutne time; hitherto lie had squan dered his large wages at the grog shop." 4,ΤΛ>τ Candor," the ÂuguMa correspondent of' the ItosU-n tournai,oracularly says: "The haste and eagerness ot certain sheriffs iu enforcing the law ti illioul being instructed by the Governor «ο to «Ιο, is al-e a inbject of comment in political cireles.

NVhen a wornau perforins, worthily, tht I duties which fall to her as a wife and ι mother, her lot is at best a hard one, and I all the love and care which her husband and children can bestow upon her will but scantily repay her for the toil and hard ships she is constantly undergoing for their sakes. The soul of a conscientious mother is tilled with anxiety for the welfare of her children, and self is always a second arv consideration. In caring tor them, and training their minds that they may I one day till their appointed places in the world, as noble men and women, her brow grows wrinkled and her hairs grey. She is bowed down with many cares; she al I lows herself no time to rest, no time lor I enjoyment she is a martyr to her family. In many instances we meet with this. It I is taken by husbaud and children as a matter of course, that mother is the wil ling slave to them all, and therefore they let her work, taking no pains to lighten j her labors, or to delegate the heaviest to others, until she drops down beneath her burdens, and too late her bereaved family mourn their short-sighted tolly in permit ting her to work herself into the grave. J And yet wotueu arc themselves directly responsible for many of these hardships, from which they suffer. A woman should start on her marriage with the tirtn reso lution to bear only her proper share of the burden and heat of the day, and not to bear it all. She should reserve to herself as a sacred right uot to sink into a mere hoaae-keeping drudge, and merge her in dividuality into a weary round of wash ing, irouing, scrubbing and baking. Her husband ha* no right to demand it ot her, and she should not accede to his demands if he docs. The reason that we see so many prematurely old American women, is because, as a general rule, they are over worked. They toil ou, week after week, month after month, sacrificing all the comfort and beauty ot their lives, and finally, when their health breaks down un der the constant strain, spend more money in teeing doctors, and striviugto regain it than would have sufficed to have hired j some of their work done, and preserved j health, and enjoyed life as they went along. Imagine thai a wife should say to her husband, "Charles, suppose you give up smoking this winter, and let us take that money to hire the washing," how, in nine cases out of tea would Charles receive the proposition Give up smoking Forego his precious pipe? Abstain from his uf ter-dinner cigar Never! She may wash or not, but he must smoke, and thereaft* r, the smoke from Charles' cigar ascends gracefully toward Heaven, while, unless he can afford both, his wife still breathes weary sighs amidst the foam from her wash-tub. Many a woman toils heavily oue day every week, to save a sum which vanishes in smoke from her husband's1 pipe. Now, this is all wrong, and woman everywhere, should rise in rebellion at such a *tate of things.— Woman à Jour nal. I ι Margery Dean, iu a letter from New· port, gives the following discussion be tween some young ladies concerning the merits of certain newspapers: Sitting on a hotel piazza, the other morning, watch ing^ group of young ladies, I overheard a curly-headed little maiden, who was frizzled and paniered and puffed iu the height of style, exclaim, "Oh, I like the Independent best Λ moment before, 1 couid have sworn that la petite never looked at a newspaper, and somewhat sur prised, I took the liberty of listening fur ther. "Tue Tribune suits me better," said her black-eyed companion. "1 take the Eveuiug Post," chimed in a stylish, saucy lookiug girl, who was pelting somebody over the railiug with pond-lilies—a beautiful bunch, by the way, which five minute» before 1 had seen a gentleman carefully selecting for her from a little urchin's basket. And when, I wonder, do you girls gel time to read the newspapers? "Fold them four double, of course," was the next seutcnce I caught, and more puzzled than before, I walked near the group, when everything was made clear to me by the blonde little one saying: 4 1 would rather have a uewspaper any day, than the beat pauier that was ever made iu Paris. I fell back, to my seat, uncertain whether to laugh or feel provoked with the chatterboxes, who had strolled off to lay seige to a party of gentlemen just from the beach. Think of it, Mr. Tilton think of it, Mr. Greeley! did it ever oc cur to you what a bustle you make in fashionable circles? Chilblains, One very cold evening in December a young man from a store in the city, came to the kitchen of a dwelling where I was staying, to deliver some parcels. While his basket was being emptied, he seemed in a perfect frenzy of distress from chil blains, and finally begged to be permitted to remove his boot for a moment's relief. The lady ot the house immediately sent to the cellar for an old pau, aud brought some corn meal, requiring the boy to re move his stockings. He protested that he had not a moment to lose, and must hasten back to his work. In an instant red-hot coals were placed in the pan and a hand ful of the meal being thrown upon them, the suffering feet were held in the dense smoke. Before the meal had burned out, the anguish of the chilblains was quite gone. The coals and meal were renewed, and in fifteen minutes the youth was on his way to the store, entirely releived, al though the trial seemed much too short to be successful. Severe weather may produce a recur rence of the trouble at intervals, but per sistent use of this remedy will prevent as well as cure it. I have known it to ef fect very marked cures, where the persons I were unusually exposed, and when all other remedies were useless. —A certain grocer on Washington 1 street, in Peoria, has a placard near his door, on which ig printed in large letters, "X. 0. Molasses." Two men were driving down the street the other day one of them, holding a jug, was heard to exclaim I ,'Tûere is no use going there for it, Bill, for don't you see that sign there says they ha'n'c got any molasses. —A gentleman having written a letter, I concluded it as follows: "Give every body's love to everybody, so that nobody may be aggrieved by being forgotten by somebody."

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, a ri J effectual for preserving the nair. It soon restores faded or fjraij ha it* to its original color, with the gloss and fresJiness of youth. Thin Jiair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are de stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed hut such as remain cau bo saved by this application, and stimu lated into activity, so that a new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi ment. it will keep it cleau and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and provents the forma tion of dandruff, which is often so un cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju to the hair, the Vigor can only 1 benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can bo found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not boil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
