AT THI COTJWTT FATaL Amanda WheaUnE and NeU Enetis

were neiwhbora in the town of Brierly Oentret both danghtera of well-to-do farmers. The j had both been at Sooth

ef fa i ^ W i k i tench aner w e dlatrfet aohool had done its beet for thenx and Nell had learned, among other tninga, to play a few tones on the piano by means of a natural ap­titude for the fine arts ; and ainoe re­turning home ahe had found time to look aiksr her father's houae and dairy, and by teaching the district aohool aummera—they nerer allowed that privi­lege to a woman during the win Mr tetm —ahe had laid up enough money to buy a second-hand piano in the city. When NeU showed Amanda the money, and oondded her intentions to her, Amanda had a new sensation* Hitherto ahe had always been ahead of Nell, so to speak. Her black alpacas had been finer than Nell's, and had borne off the palm in the metier of t i m i n g s , her shawls ke& Men knot* tfumeidta land more gorgeous, her bonnets more showy, her ribbona more frequent: for a country girl, in abort, ahe had inYaribly led the styles in Brierly Centre, and ahe had done them credit with her sparkling eyes end ropy cheeks. But now if NeU wae to have in piano, if ahe was to learn to play on it, Amanda*e existence would be embittered beyond a peradrenture. There was bnt one niano in all Briefly Centre, and that waa np at old Bauire Brierly*a9 and nobody to open it from year's end to year's end.

" Oh, dear aakes! Nell," Said Amanda, "what makes you think of wasting your money on such foolishness as a piano, when you don't know how to use

44 Hollba, Mandy, you don't mean ter say that [you made it I I'd as soon ex­pect the moon «ter turn ter green cheese !']

the houae waa asleep, and waa worsted. She threw a shawl over her shoulders ust as the clock struck eleven, and took own the key stealthily, looking orer

her shoulder the while. " I must have the piano, at all odds," her thoughts ran, 44and as for the premium, I'll make it up to Nell someday." The moon­light waa so bright ahe had no need of a lantern. She hurried across the fields into the highway, brushing the dew as ahe' went straight to the town-hall and let herself in. Tho moon, playing fantastic pranks among tho strange assomjblage there, startled her at first A mammoth cabbage seemed to be shaking its head at her; the eyes in the potatoes winked at ljer knowingly; the air was rank with the odor of fruit.

membored that the boxes were counter­parts of each other, both small and un-painted. All she did in the world was to put her own box in the place of Nell's, and exohange cards with her. Then she slipped out again, and the great door groaned on its hiuges, and the groan echoed through the silent hall; and before she was fairly out of its shadow, somebody passed by on the other side, whistling, 4 4 The rose that all are praising." nhe drew the shawl over her head ; for it was Tom Brierly, who pausrd and looked after her re-tfeating figure. Where had Tom been at this hour ? At Nell's, perhaps, look­ing at the piano. Bhe had seen it ar­rive that night with her own eyes', and had not plucked up heart enough to go in and praise i t It seemed too/ bad that Nell should have the piano arid the pre­mium both ; for the foolieh girl hadn't a doubt but Nell's butter Vould be tho best; it had taken the / premium onoe, and people weren't apt to retrograde in the matter of makinepbutter. But then, if Tom should find her out, how ho would despise he^l and at that thought, though she was hurrying away from her misdeed, she Would gladly have re­turned and made it all honor bright again, bnt for fear of meeting Tom and being detected.

The nekt day the roads were gay, and alive with folks flocking in from the the neighboring towns, dressed in their Sunday best There was a plowing-metoh worth seeing, at which Tom bri­erly himself took a prize ; and, to crown ill, there was the grand dinner in the big tent, to which every body walked by twos to the music of the fife and drum from West Brierly, and alVthe no­bodies stood nside and stared, and con­soled themselves, with sarcastic remarks nn the toilettes in the prooestion, and then went and peeped through the chinks of the tent till their mouths wa­tered.

Tom Brierly came fa a little late to the dinner, flushed and handsome from bis plowing, and Amanda's heart gave a groat thump wl>en he dropnpd into a vacant seat beside Nell, while she sat opposite with nobody but Deaoon Small to do the gallantries*

411 hope I'm not putting myself into somebody pise's plaoe," said Tom.

441 guess it'a all right," answered Br. Thorough wort 44 There's many who'd like to put themselves into your shoes I reckon. ] And Amanda cringed as if somebody had struck her, and Nell bluahod a bo-doming rose-color. And then followed speeches and toasts, and flirtations and nhiloponaing, and Amanda sat through it all, shivering and burning by turns, hearing nothing of the pleasantries go­ing on about her, with no relish for onto or comfit, because Nell Eustis bad taken the first premium oh butter! That had been the result of her night's work of exchanging cards and butter boxes with Nell I To be sure it waa Amanda's butter that bad taken the prise, in spite of her want of faith, but how oould she make it known ? With what face could ahe declare it? Surely her sin had found her out

It'll make your cheeks red an' your hair curL Patty Jones took the premium on honey, did you see? The doctor he aakea her, the wag, if ahe made it, or the bees. I s'pose Miss Nell's rather set up with her premium on butter, ain't ahe? Young Brierly is kinder sweet on her, eh ?"

At the other side of the table Tom Brierly waa whispering to Nell, 44 So I see your rag mat took a prise. If it waa for snlelshould buy i t "

44 But what ahall I do about the but­ter?"

However, Mrs. Wheating herself came to the rescue. She vent into the tojrnhaUto taste the prize butter by means of which poor Amanda kid lobt her piano. /

44 Bless my eyes 1° said she, " that's my Mandy'a butter, if I waa to die for it I There ian't another lot here atamped with a sheaf of wheat, and I'd Uke an oath that Mandy'o waa, though I wasn't fetched up to hear sweaung in my father's house. , 111 jest go and get Nell Eustis, and see if she'll own i t" And of course Nell was only too glad to resign the troublesome honor of taking the premium ; and tho Judges were in­formed, ptod it was finally re-announced that Amanda was tho successful cony petitof, end nobodv dreamed how the mistake had come about /

heating. But when Amanda's fathef began to

Ulk about tho piano, Alnauda hung fire ; ahe wouldn't bear t6 it—it coat too much, ahe hadn't any/gift at muaio— and so the matter dnipped. But when Nell fulfilled her dream, and married Tom, and went to lire at Brierly Hall, she gave Amanda her second-hand piano that had oost Amanda so much.

And, aftef all, Tom Brierly thinks that it wag he who took the premium at tho oounty fair.

The Evil* If e m s ire Heir to.

The human body is a complicated affair. First is the bouy form of frame­work, over this tho muscular system, and overlying both, the nervous and intelligent one, nnd above all tho brain, carefully protected by the skull, and far within us. From the brain go out little fine threads of nerves, communicating with all parts of the body ; hence the mind may not be affected without influ­encing the body, or the body without affecting tho mind. In the nanda the nerves are many, also in the feet pro­ducing sensitiveness. Tho nerves in the bottom of the feet connect with those of \ tho spine, whioh mskos improper care of the feet the occasion of many nervous headaches ; for these headaches try a foot-bath twice a day, allowing the feet :o remain in the water long enough to absorb the water needed, fifteen or twenty minutes. One hour of mental anxiety will derange the functions of Lne body more than a year of physical

[ labor without worry. In one part of the brain lie the nerves whioh control, through the will, the animal part of our natures, while in another place are tho neivea controlling the digestive organs, the generative organs, etc. Any trouble in either of these parte of the brain affects, of course, the organs it con­trols.

The mind and body do not work inde­pendent of each other. A large propor­tion of the crimes committed come from a diseased condition of the brain. AH suicides fre committed through insan­ity, as well as many other murders. Organic disease of the heart is very rare, owing to the wise und peculiar dis­tribution of its nerves. Ihe left side of the body is more liable to disease than the right, Owing to our being a one-handed people, and exercising one side more than the other. Teach children to use both hands alike and to have per­fectly developed bodies. Women who use their brains much and judiciously at the same time, are happier, healthier and live longer than those who allow household and other cares to absorb them—get away, now and then, from all vexations and troubles, find rest in picture-galleries, reading-rooms, and places of amusement

Ladies who are very nervous, with the palms of their hands and hollow of the feet hot, put the hands in the water to cover the pulse, the feet in water, and bathe the temples and head behind the ears. There is an electric action in wa­ter ; it is also required for the system ; five-eighths of the weight of the body being puro water, or should be. For pain or irritation in the small of the back hip-baths are good ; for exhaustion and restlessness they are strongly ad­vised. Turkish baths are also exceed­ingly beneficial, and may bo taken b most people as often as once a wee with good effect; they improve the complexion, and tone of the flesh.

The New Or! extent of the from the great ore ningtobe fully understood. .1% was vast was readily oonooived, but that it should involve o OOO.OW *ore* and a population of 178,000 was apparently beyond reasonable calculation; but auoh is really the case. In the ootkra regions it is now a^ecertained that nine of the largest and richest parishes pro­ducing cotton have been inundated. The parishes of OarrolL Morehojse, Bichland, Madison, Franklin. Teases, Oeldwell, Oonoor£a,nrM Oa^Wussewe ail overflowed, end enOtts^ fully 2.600,-000 acres., TMeanonntof eottonland in tJaWa aMTiahes in

The population oi these nine parishes Is 90,8M whites and 54,088 blacks, according to the oen* sus of 1870. In the sugar parishes asoertainod facts discover an equal, if not a greater, amount Of ruin and suf­fering. These parishes are- Pointe Ooupee, East Baton ftouge, West Baton Rouge, Iberville, Ascension, Assump­tion, Lafourche, S t James. S t John the Baptist, S t Charles, Terrebonne, and Plaquemines. The overflow in these parishes covers nearly 2,600,000 acres, tilled and Untitled, including a produc­tion of 80,000 hogsheads of sugar, be* sides a large product of rice, tobacco, and the crops of small farmers, of whom there are many hundreds who have loot their stock and prettv much everything else they possess. The population of these parishes, according to the census

which must be deducted tins) of Esst Baton Rouge, as only a small portion of that parish haa suffered from the overflow. That deduction being made the pariahes named contain a population of 108,609. In all the per­ishes named it is believed that mow than twenty-five thousand people are now in actual suffering for the neoessary supplies of life, and that in lose than sixty days, th* number of those whose oiroumstanoes will require alleviation will increase to more than 60,000 per* sons. ,

Mr. John K. Glow, of S t Landry parish, in a note to the New Orleans Times saya :—441 have just soon in the Times an approximate estimate of the extent of the damage which has result­ed from the overflow in nine northwest­ern parishes north of Red river and then passing at the mouth of said river over to the parish of Pointe Ooupee, The estimate includes ail of the pariah­es between the Mississippi and Atcha-falaya rivers to the Gulf, which is all very correct as fares it goes; but the immense body of water which comes down the Valley of tho Miesissppi and Ouachita and Black rivers passes across Red river some forty miles from its mouth, and meeting with no obstruc­tion until it meets the leeve on Baton des Olaifes, it sweeps with irresistible foroe over its feeble barrier, occupying a breadth of country from twenty-five to thirty miles wide, through the east­ern portion of Avoyelles and S t Lan­dry parishes, and covering all the lands in that region, which includes within its limits the larger portion of the moot productive lands in those two pariahes. Beginning at Moreamont, it washes around wnat is called the big bend of tho Bayou des OlaiBoe, down to bims-port, a distance of more than forty miles by the meadowa qt the bayou, which is thickly settled, thence down the low lands of tho western side of Atchafaiaya river, behind the planta­tions on that river, and inundating them from behind. Within the limits of the land thus submerged there are not leas than 10,000 souls, including white and black, mostly of the laboring class, but no doubt some of the pro­prietors are in a suffering condition on account of the almost total failure of the crops of both corn and cotton on ac­count of tho wet weather of last year.

And then he jumpt up and ran out of the house mad as fire ; aud he ain't coming back no more, Beo-hoo, ahoo, boo hoo !"

Starting Newspapers. A proposition to 4f start an agricul­

tural weekly and printing-house,19 on the joint stock plan, 44 the shares to be made available to the small fanners and farm laborers," was deferred for mote deliberate consideration by the Mary­land Grange. The New York l\itnme9 in speaking of tha matter, says: "It ia not so difficult to begin such an en­terprise, bnt to keep a newspaper tun­ning, in the sharp competition of the present day, requires mote outlay of money and of labor than pf K>ns un­familiar with tho practical details are willing to believe. The failure* of auoh schemes in this city s'one are each veer counted by tho dozen, and yet there seems to be something so oeguiling about the business that new victims are al ways on tbo abort and rapid journey to tho sacrifice. It ia safe to be blind and deaf to any person who comes for­ward with attractive columns of figures which appear to prove that there ia sure fortune in s new periodical.
