She gaef a 4or; A Bird in tbe Hand is Worth Two In the Bash. In the hand—fluttering fearfully. Lonely and helpless—poor little thing! In the bush—peeping out cheerfully, Two together, gayly they sing. Why is it best to have one in the hand? Father, tell me—l can't understand. Best it is because you have hold of it; Child, it is only a figure of speech! Sunset shines, you look at the gold of it, Knowing well it is’out of your reach; But the sixpence your Godmother gave, Yours it is, to spend or to save. Ah, that sixpence! already Pre done with it; Never a penny with me will stay; If I could buy but an inch of the sun with it, I might look at it every day. Father, the birds shall stay in their nest! Things that we never can have are best. Wit,

—A fashionable but ignorant lady, desirous ofpurchasing a watch, was shown a very beautiful one, the shopkeeper remarking that it went thirty-six hours. “What ?in one day ?” she asked. *-A newly married editor was told that he would find a difference between the matrimonial and editorial experience. In one place the Devil cries for copy, and in the other the “copy” cries like the Devil. -On some railroads it is customary to have a lock on the stove to prevent passengers from meddling with the fire. A conductor being asked why they locked the stove replied, that “it was to prevent the fire from going out.” A tradesman presented a bill for the tenth time to a rich skinflint. “It strikes me,” said the latter, “that this is a pretty round bill.” “Yes,” replied the tradesman, “I’ve sent it round often enough to make it appear so, and I have called now to get it squared.” A man who was brought to King James I. could eat, it was said, a whole sheep at a meal. “What else can he do,” asked the king, “more than other men ?” “Nothing,” was the reply. “Hang him, then,” said James, “for ’tis a pity a man should live who eats the shares of twenty men, and can do no more than one.” -The English Parliament enact ed in I*7o that “whoever shall impose upon, seduce and betray into matrimony any of his Majesty’s male subjects by scents, paints, cosmetic washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops, high-heeled shoes or bolstered hips,” should be prosecuted for witchcraft, and that the marriage should be null and void.

—A person, upon learning a friend had started a new paper, at once subscribed for it. The publisher was rather delicate about sending the bill—but after some ten years had elapsed, made bold to dun his “constant reader,” when the latter at once grew indignant, refused to pay, and ordered the paper stopped, alleging that he “had taken the paper for so many years just to keep it along, and now to be asked to pay for it was too mean.”

-An old man who claims the license to speak his mind freely, writes as follows to the Columbus Index: “Y oungladies, the whole secret with nine-tenths of you, of not being able to get off your parents’ hands, is that you don’t know how to work. You can't keep house. You can’t make a pair of breeches. You can’t tell, for the life of you, the difference between bran and shorts, or which cow gives the buttermilk.— Ihe young men generally came 1 , out of the war “with the skin of their teeth,’’ with no fortune, I might say, but their wardrobes of graj and their canteens, and to marry them now, rest assured, relates more to making a living with the assistance of a loving, industrious help-mate, than indulging in opera music, moonshine and poetry. Do you know what they say of one of your butterfly young ladies who has held them in the parlor engaged by the hour listening to ‘elegant nothings ?’ Nineteen times out of twenty it is this : “Well, she is all right for an evening’s entertainment, but she will not make a good wife.”

Philosophy of , Preserving Egss. Cobbet says, “A preserved egg need rather be run from, than after.” The thousand and one recipes given for them are in fact as worthless as the mermaid stories or those of the snake monster of the sex Many who put forth these stories for the million do not know what a fresh egg is; many do it for notority, and some ignorantly. No egg is fresh that will shake; this is because it has lost some of its albumen. No egg has ever been preserved over a month that will not shake, except it be air-proofbd, which is a term not generally understood, and is a new process. If they are put in dry measures the albumen will escape by transpiration through the shell. The egg has been coated with every conceivable composition, even fin solid stdne, and galvanized, yet the watery material escapes. The philosophy of this is that there is air in the egg before it is treated, and this uniting oxygen and carbon, produces decomposition by carbanic acid gas, the yellow of the egg first breaking then follows destruction. Eggs are natureally designed to last as long as the hen requires to get her brood, and the life germ can be preserved a few weeks—seven or eight—but no longer. The egg itself may be kept in a preserved state for two vears by greasing with butter, oil, or lard, but from the time it is thus put up so the end of two years it will daily lose its albumen by transpiration, and while its carbonic acid escapes to a certain extent, the egg meat will be reduced fully two thirds, and shake, shake. For culinary purposes they will do very well. But we want a whole egg, not a half one, and we want them fresh.— Butter and lard and suet have been used for half a century, still nothing has recommended itself over the liming system in a commercial point of view. The theory always has been, and still is that to keep an egg fresh the air must be excluded. It is the only philosophical treatment of it that can be made. Eggs are composed of more than half a dozen chemical ingredients, and these components are very volatile; hence the atmosphere with its powerful agencies works quickly upon it.— Externally’ kept from the air the latter is powerless to do harm but the air inside no mortal can prevent, and that alone in time will decompose the egg.— Scientific American.

To Remove the Skin from Peaches.—Make a lye as strong as possible of wood ashes and soft water. Fill a kettle with the lye, and, when boiling rapidly, drop tn twelve or eighteen peaches, and take out again almost immediately. and immerse them in a pail of cold 'water. Take one in your hand and you ' will prcceive that the rind will slip off entirely, leaving a round, beautiful yellow ball; thro wit immediately into another pail of pure water, and so proceed till all are done. This process will not injure the flavor of the finest peach, and once tried the old fashioned method of peeling with a knife will not be again adopted. If the lye is not strong enough, put into the kettle two dippersful of clean wood ashes.

Vitality of Seeds.—The way in which species of the floral kingdom are accidentaly disseminated over wide regions, is shown by the fact that in the Exposition gardens a great variety of plants foreign to France have spontaneously sprung up under the walls and around the building. The seeds from which these new aeqisitions to the natural flora have germinated, were conveyed to Paris in the package of the articles sent from various countries. The several plants around the house of “Gustavus Vasa,” which are peculiar to the country of that monarch, from their rare beauty considerable attention. Hens of all kinds set 21 days, ducks 28 days, geese 30 to 35 days, j guinea fowls 28 to 40 days, turkeys 1 28 days, pea hens 30 davs.
