“What a river in South Australia you are!’’ 
cried her sister. “ Fou look as sweet as a pound 
of a city in Ceylon , and as white as if you had 
been a mountain in Walt*C’ 
And so she did. with her long robe of moun¬ 
tain* in New Hampshire lace, necklace and brace¬

river in north part of California, in her hair fas¬ 
tened with a mountain peak in Oregon, 
The third sister, a city In Australia, n ow ap¬ 
peared, dressed all in a branch of the Kansas 
Hirer, with turquoise ornaments and long curls 
of shining ridge of the Alleghany Mountains. 
The evening was on Irish cape, but a country 
in South America , and the two younger girls 
wrapped themselves In a city in India shawls 
and a cape of Florida mantles. 
They then all set out, attended by their broth¬

LITTLE PLAID SUN-BONNET 
Little plaid sun-bonr.et, what do you hide, 
Down in the grass by the sunny wall side ? 
Any short ringlets half out of curl? 
Any round forehead us pure a* a pearl ? 
Any blue eyes with a laugh bubbling over? 
Any red mouth dosing on a red clover? 
is it the wind makes you dance up and down ? 
Or is it fairy head under your crown? 
O, Earth U bright, by the glad summer kissed! 
Millions of roses might scarcely be missed ; 
Acres of butler-cups, growing so gay. 
Cause not a sigh when their gold drops uwny. 
Yet to ray heart how your charms were destroyed, 
All your Irosh meadows how wintry and void, 
Earth should you lose from your beauty and pride 
Just what a little plaid bonnet can hide.

The Mwoet Orange Cnvtf*. 
I sometimes ride up llic Bowery in the 
street cars, late at night; sometimes I walk 
up. I see a great many queer scenes. 1 see 
the street, full of all sorts of people as late as 
eleven, twelve, and one o’clock at night. I 
see young men and young women coming 
out of and going into the beer saloons, the 
concert saloons, anil into places (hat. have a 
reputation of being very vile—young men 
nnd women whose lives were once, and 
ought always lo have been, pure nnd virtu¬ 
ous, hut who have been unable to resist the al¬ 
lurements of city life and are. led into idl sorts 
of questionable places and associations by 
their inclinations or by the temptations of 
people wlio profess to see “ no harm in it.” 
But. one of the most picturesque features of 
the Bowery at night, are the pea-nut, orange, 
and banana stands at the street corners. 
Sometimes these are simply tables set upon 
the edge of the sidewalk or just, off it ill the 
street. More frequently they are four- 
wheeled carts which are loaded at the Fulton 
or the Washington markets, early in the 
morning and hauled to their respective posi¬ 
tions before the tide of people begins to move 
toward the stores and shops.

A HORTICULTURAL PROFESSOR REHEARSING FOR THE FALL FAIRS. 
Ovr.n on Long Island there is a groat squash excitement. Wc sent n special reporter andnrtist 
the other day to inquire into the cause. We give a sketch of what he saw, or imagined lie saw 
He did And huge heaps of compost about each squash vine, a tank at each squash from winch 
water was flowing over each specimen. He asserts that he could see these squashes grow • and |.v 
actual measurement it had been proved that they enlarge throe or four inches per (Lay At 
another place, in place of water he found the squashes fed with milk eonstanllv. The object of 
giving this food was not ascertained. The Professor of Horticulture was ret I oent. Earlv one 
morning our artist arose alter a restless liigbl. Whether lie was dreaming or not he does not 
assert; baton looking nut or the window before sunrise lie saw or imagined lie saw the learned 
Professor rehearsing for the fairs with his milk-fed squashes and pigs, lie sketched what lie .wr 
or imagined im saw on the instant. We give this as a matter of history. Whether this will be 
realized at the Long Island Fairs this fall, or not, our reporter asserts that he is bound to know 
be insists upon visiting a clairvoyant to find out. We shall engage hint Indefinitely, for the benefit 
of our readers,—and meantime predict, that the producer of such term-cultural monstrosities us 
above represented will soon be seut to the Legislature or Congress,

tsuggestlau)* About Music Wanted. 
Katie writ os :— “ If any of the girls would 
give me any suggestions about music, I 
should like it very much —some way to 
make practicing pleasant. 1 like to practice 
songs and pretty pieces, but I don’t like the 
instruction hook.” Katie ought to remem¬ 
ber that results that make people accom¬ 
plished and happy only come from labor; 
and that labor of any sort may he delightful 
if one becomes entirely absorbed in it. 
How to Manage limiting Baskets. 
Emma, of Ohio, asks some of the girls to 
tell her the best plants for hanging baskets, 
nnd how they should ho taken care of. 
Maggie writes she has two, in one of which 
is a strawberry geranium and some "Wan¬ 
dering Jew;” in the other some wild Amer¬ 
ican ivy. 
Vases and Brockets. 
Sara D. writes to Loretta " You, of 
course, have seen paper cases and letter 
pouches. I have seen vases made like them. 
II one has a pretty pattern such vases are 
very pretty for common ones. I have also 
seen brackets made of butternuts, sawed 
crosswise like slices; stain and varnish them, 
glue together in the shape of a bracket. 
They are wry pretty indeed. If you have a 
kind brother perhaps you could get him to 
make one for you.’’ 
Tell Cs Hoiv You Do Thing*. 
Clara Dixon writes of the trees in front 
of Iter windows, the morning glories about 
it, her pictures, cushions, mats, what-nots, 
»&c. But what we want Clara nnd the 
rest of the girls to write is of what they do 
and how they do it. Teach each other. 
Nellie urges the girls to study botany, and 
promises to tell Elia how to make straw 
frames. Nellie shouldn’t waste paper nor 
words making promises, but tlo what she 
proposes to do. now. Minnie asks Lo- 
rictta to tell how to make lamp mats of 
zephyr and promises to give a little informa¬ 
tion, asserting, “ I know a little about some 
things." We say to Minnie also, never 
make promises! Don’t assert you know 
something; rather tell us what you know 
that will be useful to others. Cora has 
tried Ella’s cake recipe, and all liked the 
cake, and she will make more. She would 
like to learn more in the art of cooking 
from the girls. She says, “ My pictures are- 
framed with straw ami black paper. I have 
trained morning glories and jasmine over 
the windows below. I have a hanging shell;’ 
made of a board 1 found on the wood pile, 
which 1 neatly papered with wall paper, on 
which 1 keep my books.” Ida, eleven 
years old, lias also found Ella’s recipe- 
good. She has a lew plants, among them 
an English ivy. She does the most of the 
ironing for her mother. KatieR asks some 
of her little friends to tell her what are the 
prettiest and hardiest roses and vines to train 
oyer her windows. She is in Northern New 
York. She says her father objects to vines 
because he thinks they cause the siding of 
the house to decay; sue wants to know if 
they do.

Every part of a Waltham Watch is made by ma¬ 
chinery. The machinery used in making the move¬ 
ment of n single Watch cost over a hundred thou¬ 
sand dollars, yet we sell these Watches in a solid 
silver hunting ease for $18. The same Watch could 
not be made by hand and finished as perfectly for 
ten times as much. 
In the evening these stands or carts are 
lighted by alcohol lamps, as you see in the 
picture, and are attended by a man or a 
woman—sometimes by both—v, ho, in time 
of oranges, shout, at the top of their voices, 
“ Here’s your nice sweet oranges, eight for a 
quarter,” or some other rate, depending up¬ 
on the supply. 
No little boy or girl wants lo pas 9 these 
orange temptations without mamma pur¬ 
chases for him or her. And it is funny to 
see the devices of the little ones to win a 
chance to suck the sweet juices from an 
orange. And these street hucksters have 
learned how to say a kind orflattering word 
to the child that touches the heart and opens 
the purse of the mother mstanter. You see 
one of these good motherly victims in the 
picture. Bhe’ll not leave that stand without 
a hag of oranges for her child.

is interchangeable, like a Springfield rifle—that is, 
any part of one Watch Is exactly like the same part 
in another: and If ten Watches of one grade were 
taken apart, and the screws, wheels, springs, &c., 
wore mixed together, ten watches could be made by 
putting these parts togotheragain without any refer¬ 
ence to their former combination. This Is a great 
advantage. For If any part of a Waltham Watch is 
injured we can always replace it at a trilling expense. 
istundewith special reference to durability. Other 
watches will run for a year or two, and then give out 
and require constant repairs, but a Waltham Watch 
will run faitlif ully for many years.

nn apple tree Just In front of her window, 
over which grows a large Wistaria vine; 
and she naively adds, “ I have never been 
very fond of flowers, except when they are in 
bloom!" Allow us to ask, Katie, if there 
ever are any flowers when they are not in 
bloom? Perhaps she means that she does 
not care for plants when not in blossom. If

leaves-; on her feet satin slippers with an island 
of Polynesia of silver. 
Under all this splendor she persisted in wear¬ 
ing a castle in Scotland ot a sea cast of China and 
a branch of the Mississippi River, and when she 
entered the drawing-room, the air was filled 
with the river in I'mssUt ot a city on the Rhine. 
Over tier shoulders she threw a cloak of a city
