MABY BA8SETT HCSSEY. In life's morn we gaily reckon, while our high hopes on ward beckon. On a wondrous goal of glory, which our coming doth await, Shrink we from 110 thought of trial, dream we of no stern denial. We will take the crown and kingdom, we will enter on our state. Swift the life-blood ljaps and dances, while each eager step advances, ' All that's best of earth or heaven, claim we by a riht divine, . From the glorious endeavor, naught our nie souls shall dissever, Tho Orion veil his splendors or Arcturus cease to shine. O, the purposes we nourish ! O, the high resolves we cherish! The world's fields are white for harvest, we'll be workers brave and strong. Spotles 1 our soul's desiring to the noblest heights aspiring. We for truth and right will battfe, we will conquer sin and wrong. Solve the problems of the ege3 that have puzzled aints and sages, Purify the suffering earth from her misery and crime, Burdens for tbe weak ones bearing, sorrow with the suffering sharing. Thro' renunciation rising to an eminence sub lime. But the fate threads slow unwinding on our lives stern burdens binding, Lo, we falter in our progress, for a brief space cease our guest. Some fair gaud of earth desiring we forget our high apiring. By some Circe's spell enchanted sink Into Ignoble rest little cares our lives perplexing, trifling Ills our faint hearts vexing. We to lower aims descending cease to struggle for the prize : Wrapped, perchance, in bliss elysiac, we neglect the lleavenly vision. And heed not the holy voices calling to our souls, "Arise!" Onward sweeps the vkloa splendid by our angels unattended. We bewail our sloth and folly, for tho goal may riot be won; To our tears, our prayers, our yearning, hope no answer is returning. And the shadows close around us and the night comes swiftly on. Cast ont in the utter darkness in our misery and starkness. Like th foolish virgins asking for the help that comes no more, Who our bitter cry is heeding? Who will hear our anguished pleading? What can joy and hope and gladnef s to our broken lives restore? Is there for us yet a morrow, when this bitter weight of Eorrow e may cast aside forever, find a balm for all our pain? Frail, but i:i God's strength confiding, In Ilii ten der love abiding, Find the hopes, tbe blessed visions of our harpy youth again? Brazil, April 27. 1SS2. FLE AS AN Tit I KS. "Yes," he said "there are some advantages in marrvinir a red headed eirl. False hair of that color comes cheap." All sorts of sleeves are admissible for la dies' dresses, but the coat sleeve, round the waist, remains the favorite. At a curiosity shop: "O, the charmice little boil Antique, isn't it?" '2fo, madaaie, it is modern." V hat a pity it was so pretty!" Cincinnati established a ''widow's home,' open to all widows who intend to remain widows. Thsre is one house in Cincinnati that is tenanted only by the janitor. A mother advised her daughter, who was going to a party, to eil her hair, and fainted away when that candid damsel replied: "Oh, no, ina; it is so apt to spoil the gentlemen's vests." "Do you enjoy married life?" asked a spinster of a friend who had just returned from her wedding trip. ''La, how can I tell?" blushingly answered the bride. I've only been married three months." She had been in the country only a short time, coming from the Emerald Isle, so her employer was net surprised when she causally asked if he'd have his eggs boiled in hot or cold water. Oil City Derrick. The remark of an exchange that "many of our successful lawyers began life as preachers" is gracefully corrected bv one ot the legal gentlemen referred to, who bags leave to state that he began life as an infant. Jumbo, the new elephant, is a great comfort to the clergymen who must go to see him as a great curiosity in natural history, and at the same time get a good deal of circus mixed in, as it were, "unbeknownst" to them. The last straw i3 a strike for higher wages by the plumbers in Now York. It is thought about four dollars per hour, with an intermission of fifteen minutes to talk to the maid in the kitchen, would be considered about fair. 'I'm no sectarian," said Joe Shuttle, as he grew warm in relicious argument. "I believe every man ought to be a strict Presbyterian," and then he looked around in -wonder as an audible smile wafted into the evening air. Sarah Bernhardt is married. "When Charle .Mathews married Madame Yestris there was much amusement. "She told him everything," said one pretty actress. "What courage!" said another. ''But what a memory I" said a third. "No woman is worth lookinjr at after thirty," said young Mrs. A., a bride with all the arrogant youthfulness ot twenty-cne Bummers. ""Quite true, my dear," answered Lady D., a very pretty woman some ten or fifteen years older; "nor worth listening to before." Waif. "Yes," she said. "My husband has treated me brutally, but I'll be revenged! I'll begin cleaning house at once, and he'd sleep in room with the carpet up and loose tacks on the cold floor; he'll wade through clouds of daat and hell eat his meals on the top of the ice chest in the woodshed, for ten days.'' She wu sorry she spoke." Young farmer (surveying "the stock) M A pretty tidy lot, Maria." Wife (considerably the senior) 'Ave, but they would ilia be there maybe warn it for my bra3sl" Husband (nettled) "Why, lass, gin it bo cooa to that wi ye, if it had no' been for your money, mayhap ye wid na been here yerself!" A man Epeods eighteen cents for lager, ten cents for tobacco, twenty cents for cig&M, fifteen cents for street-car fare, and loses $1.50 at poker; he then permits his wife to purchase a button-hook for three cents, and figures that her extravagances will ruin him in three years. What is hia capital? The New Arithmetic. A' census of elephants in the United State shows the number to be just seventyseven. Barn urn, with hia usual enterprise, will have ninety of these animals before the summer closes, and Forepaugh will own the remaining sixty. This will leave less than

onj hundred to be divided among the score of other -freatest shows" now on the road.

Norristown Herald. An amateur vu chaffering about the price of a table service in Dresden china. "But it is much too dear! There is not a single piece which has not been mended." The dealer has his answer pat. "2lj dear sir," he says, "why, that is the very thing that makes the set valuable. This is the table service that Bonaparte broke when he kicked over the preliminaries atLeobenl" The amateur, a little taken aback by this thrust, says: "Are you perfectly sure of that?" "Certainly I am. Would you like the same service without ita being mended? I have that also." Waif. A Nimble Divine New York Evening Poat.l A sold story is told of the witty Arch bishop WThately. On one occasion he was in a field near Dublin, where some men were at ifork in a hay held. "JNow, my lads," said the Archbishop, "you all see that tree vonder?" nointin? to a lartre tred sev eral hundred yards away. "Yes, your ... . Z . .a-rvl.a ? J gracft.they all faid.

The men tmt traAv for the race, "Now. then!' shouted the Archbishop, "one, two, three and away I" Off the men started, each one doine his best. When abcut a third of a way to the tree they heard the sound 01 rmirfc stpnn behind ther.i. With a triumphA ant laueh the Archbishop touched the tree, and put the halt crown into nis pocKei. üui after they had acknowledged him as the winners each of the losers were presented with a half-crown. .Charlotte Cusliman Nerve. The following anecdote illustrates Miss Cuf hman's decision and nerve: At the National Theater, Boston, during the season of 1851-52, as she was playing Komeo to the Julie, of Miss Anderton, in the midst of one of the most romantic passages between the lovers, some person in the house sneezed in such a manner as to attract the attention of the whole audience, and every ono knew that the sneeze was artificial and derisive. Miss Cushman instantly stopped the dialogue, and led Mia Anderton off the stage, as a cavalier might lead a lady from the place where an insult had been offered her. She then returned to the footlights and said in a clear, firm voice, "Some man must put that person out, or I snail be obliged to do it mytelf." The fellow was taken awav; the audience rose en masse and gave three cheers for Miss Cushman, who recalled her Companion and proceeded with the play as f nothing had happened. Just the Sam. There was a crowd of carriages in front of a church when a man came along, discovered that something was goinz on, and. leaning against a hitching post, he asked of a pedestrian: "Was it very sudden?" "I don't know." "Presume it ws. Well, wo'vo all got to go that way. Do you know, sir, that that' Here his voice broke down tnd ho reached for his handkerchief. "What's the matter?" inquired tho other. "Young woman's funeral in there." "That's no funeral; that's a marriage!' 'Marriage! ah yes marriage 1 6ee. Well, it's all the same to me. Give me the young man's name and I'll weep over him I'' patELlGIOUo Iii 1KLLIOENCE AND INCI DENT. The subject of abandoning the itinerant system will come up at the General Ji. i,, Conference in 1881." The Bible is wholly put into eight African tongues, and partly into thirty-four more, and the thirty -nah is being prepared for. A Chinaman, dying of consumption in Chicago, erected an alter in his laundry, and worked befrre it, with his face to the east, as long as he was able to wash at all. The Christian Index advises Church members to imitate the Master, and say "well done' to their pastors when they do well. This is good advice, and should be carried into general practice. It is most certain, and proved by experience, that slight draughts of philosophy may by chance give an impulse toward atheism, but that deeper drinking of the same brings the mind back to religion. We do not agree with Professor Phelps when he says that clergymen weep to conceal the thin points in their sermons, for if they did there would bo a great deal more weeping in the pulpit than there is now. We need a gospel for the poor that shall go to them with food for the soul in one hand and food for the body in the. other. Tho religion of the helping hand is tne only one tht will save our great cities from relapsing into barbarism. W. R. Huntington. Two Methodist missionaries in South America have ascended the Parana River to Cuyaba, 2,072 miles from Montevideo. In some places they encountered hindrances and hardships, but in most places found great facilities for evangelizing thoso interior regions. At Melrose, Mass., a new plan has been tried as to the eatables at the Church sociables. It had been the custom of the ladies to contribute the food and to serve it. Now it falls to the lot of the male members. Clumsy fellows some of them are at serving tables, yet they proved to be liberal givers as regards quantity. They provided without that delicate attention to proportion which is generally shown when the ladies are renpaasible for a repast. Of some articles there was a great excess, while others were almost entirely cmited. The waiting on the tables was done in a very thorough manner, and indeed somewhat forcefully when two or three of tbe waiting brethren would unexpectedly come into collision while carrying eatables and drinkables The ladies enjoyed the fun of being served by the men on whom they had often waited. . In an article on "Presbyterian Drift," the Churchman says: "The notablo thing about the present drift is that the Presbyterians are reaching out, not so much for the Prayer Book alone, as for the sympathies or spiritual atmosphere in which liturgical worship can be organized and maintained. The restlessness comes from an increasing sympathy with the univorsal Christian Church. The aspiration of Presbyterians are for the usages and customs and prayers in which they find the best expression of their religious life. The drift, so far as it can as yet be distinctly traced, is one of many signs that the mission of the EpLjcopal Church in America for more than two centuries is gradually convng to be better understood, and that the great principle which the Church has unswervingly held to, loyalty to apostolic order not separated from faith, fulness to modern life, is the principle towards whieh unfettered and youthful minds are moving in all the different religious bodies, and notably so in that which calls itself Presbyterian. In this drift there is not only encouragement for the Chinch as an institution but encouragement tc.t the best interests yf positive religion in Ameri ca."

LONUFELXOW'S FIRST POEBI.

When Mr. Lonarfellow. th n nine years of age. was at school, hi teacher requeued him to write a composition, lie replied that he did not know how. Tbe teacher told him to go out doors and look at something and then come In and write about It. He obeyed, ana tnis was me result: TIIS TCR5ir. I By Harry W. Longfellow, aged nlne.l Mr. Finnly had a turnip, Aud it grew, and it erew. And it grew behind the barn. And the turnip did no harm. And It grew, and it grew Till H couldn't grow no taller, Then Mr. Kinuly look it up And pat it in the cellar. There it lay and It lay. Till it began to rot. When his danghter washed it And put It lu tne pot. Then she boiled it, and sho boiled It, As long as she was able, Tbe nis daughter Lizzie took it And she put It on the table. Mr FInnly and his wife Both sat down to sup. And they ate, and they ate. Until they ate the turnip p. Pittsburg Leader. TABLE GOSSIP. Laplanders never wait upon a superior without a present. i Woman iä an idol that man worships, until he throws it down. One of the youngest babies in Minnesota has a mother who is eighty-three years old. Hundreds of men have apparently outlived their usefulness, and they are yet quite young. Do the duty which liest nearest thee I Thy second duty will already have become clearer. A French writer calls tho absence of sleeves in evening dress "the triumph cf nudity." 'No," said the lady, "I'm not keeping any servants j ust now. 1 have quite enoug h to do to wait upon myself." Beecher Eays thst "true orthodoxy is love to God and love to man, and he that hath not this is not a Christian." "Thirty years honce," eays the London Spectator, "English fortunes will appear very paitrv compared with American." Bric-a-brac is defined "as anything in the crockery lino that is absolutely useless, se: upon tho mantel, where it may be in the way." It is considered in bad style to wear the crinoleiteor bustle closo up to the waist; it must be fastened some inches below it to be in fashionable position. 'Only a boy with his noise aHd fun," Ami his big tin horn and his yawping gnn. And his heavy boots and his alle hammer, And his throat of ten wild Iniin clamor. His bourns, and drums, and kill for racket. That's a tightei tit tban his uuüer-jacket. Only a boy but when In tune, He's a match for a wake aud a big typhoon. Yonkers Gazette. "Some people," says Alphonse Karr, "are always finding fault with nature for putting thorns on roses; I always thank her for having put roses on thorns.' An editor has offered three dollars for the hst written love letter. There are some people who would give more than that to get back some tuny have written. The low dreaa will soon be as extinct as the dodo," tays the Paris writer for the London Truth. Too bad that äcrawny necks are becoming prevalent. lioston x osi. Schubert died at the age of thirty-two. TT Wl hon a hard worker, and Schumann said when he heard of his death, "Well, he a t 1 1 c T A: naa done ey.ougn. unar:es o. ivouin&ou. What a woman should demand of a man in courthir. or aiter it. is first resDect for for her, as she is a woman; and next to that to bo respected by him a Dove an otner women. ''It is not right to spoil a golden wed ding," wa3 the ground on which a Missouri Judge recently refused a divorce in a case where the parties had lived together forty nine years. There are some Southern young women who dip snuff and some Northern young women who go out leading a puppy dog by a string. A young woman maybe nasty in any climate. The surest way to make ourselves agreeable to others i3 by seeming to think them so. If we appear fully sensible of their good qualities, they will not complain of tho want of them in us. If a man could only take out his brains and have them revised, he might frequently stf.rt business on a more satisfactory basis. His main-spring may be all right; the works only want a little cleaning. At a town meeting a large taxpayer rose up to protest against building a new school hou30 in a certain part of tho town. 'What's the good ef it?" asked he. "They are an ignorant set down there, anyway." Our acts our angels are, or good for ill; Our f m&l shadows that walk by us tili. John Fletcher. The lost best fruit which comes late to perfection, even in the kindliest soul, is tenderness toward the hard, forbearance toward the unfjrbearing, and warmth of heart toward the misanthropic. Charles O'Conor, the veteran lawyer, it U rumored, i3 preparing a volume on the famous law cases in which he has been engaged, which he intends to have ready for publication-before tho end of the year. Without earnestness no man is ever great, or doea really great things. He may be brilliant, entertaining, popular; but he will want weight. No soui-raoving picture was ever painted that had not is depth of shaddow. The great philanthropist, Howard, lad a rule for beneficence, and it was as follows: 'Our superfluities should give way to other men's conveniences, and our conveniences to other men's necessities, and our necessities to other men's extrcmeties." The worship of one true heart is better than the wonder of the world. Don't tram ple on the flowers while longing for the stars. Live up to tbe full measure of life; give way to your impulses, loves and enthusiasms; sing, smije, labor and be happy. Mannet s are the shadows of virtues, the momentary display -of those qualities which our fellow creatures love and respect. If then we strive to become what we strive to appear, manners may often be rendered useful guides to the performance of our duties. God bless thee 1 Words have we none More tender, more sincere. God bless thee I Words have we none Always so sweet, fo dear. God bless thee! If ia these words Our hearts do truly share. Our kind God will give to them The value of a prayer. m Says a social critic: ' Women Are all more or less born actresses; tb örst word with most of them about anything in connection with themselves is, 'now will it look?' They know that their pretty pretenses of fireside needlework: looks very well to their admirimg friends and even to their husbands They know that its meaning is understood and accepted." ' A Paria milliner has just concluded a con tract by which a dealer In game in Bjrlin undertakes to deliver the skins of 0.000 pigeons during the season for the. adorn - I ment of hat and bonnets. The birds are to ' be caugbt in all parts of Qeraaiy and taken

to the railway yard, and there killed and immediately skinned, the skins being forwarded to Paris and the carcasses retailed for a small tumeach on the spot. Mr. Longfellow, curiously enough, never saw tbe scene in which he began the pathetic story of Evangeline. The authorities he mostlv relied on in writing ' the poem were

the Abbe Kayna! for the pastoral details of Acauian lue and Mr. Haljburton for the history of the unhappy people's banish ment. CCKIOUS, USEFUL AND SCI tCX TIFIC. An English horticulturist, who is a care ful observer of insect life, has noticed that honey-bees rarely go near those flowers which bumble-bees seem to like best. A Minneapolis inventor is introducing a method of conveying grain in pipes, in which a current of air is produced by ex haustion pumps at intervals along the line. A paper watch has boen exhibited by a Dresden watch-maker. The paper is pre pared in such a manner that the watch is said to be as serviceable of those in ordinary use. Watch-making machinery has bten brought to such perfection that screws are made with it having nearly C00 threads to the inch. It takes 144.000 of them to weigh a pound. Moths that have been limmersed in sulphuric ether will recover after the evaporation of the ether; beetles will recover from the effects of chloroform, and flies after hav ing spent a whole day in a bottle of wine. Balloonists have a unique method of taking "soundings" to learn their distance from the earth when traveling in the air at night. A loud shout is given and the seconds are counted until the echo from tho ground is heard. From tbe time required for the return of the sound is easy to compute the height of the balloon. Mr. Edison's recently patented electromagnetic brake is designed for use on any style of railroad vehicle, but is more especially intended for use in connection with a system of electro-magnet railways. The invention consists in placing an electromagnet in such relation to some rotating metallic portion of tue running gear of the vehicle to bo stopped that the magnet circuit shall be through the rotating metallic portion, the electro-magnet being furnished with movable heads, which may move toward and clasp the rotating portion whenever the circuit of the magnet is closed. Upon an axle, and at or near its centre, is rigidly fixed a disk of iron, which rotates with the axle and between the polar extremities on aa electro-magnet supported from the bottom of the car. The coreä of this electro-magnet are eitended beyond the coils, forming a spindle, which is reduced in size when necessary, the ends being screw-headed to receive nuts. Upon each spindle is placed a block of iron, forming a polar extension, secured in place by the nuts. From the examination of a book compiled 2,000 years B. C. it has been' ascertained. what has long been supposed, that Chaldea wa3 the parent of land astronomy; for it is found, from this compilation and from other bricks, that tho Babylonians catalogued the stars, and distinguished and named tho constellations. They observed the seventh day as ono of rest. They invented the sun-dial to mark the movements of the heavenly bodies, the water-clock to measure time, and they speak in this work of the spots on the sun, a fact they could only have known by the aid ot telescopes, which it is supposed they possessed, from observations that thev have noted down of the rising f Venus and the fact that Lyard found a crystal lens in the ruins of Nineveh. These "bricks" conta:n an account of the deluge, substantially the same as tbe narra tive in the Bible. They disclose that houses and lands were then sold, leased and mort gaged, that money was loaned at interest, and that the market gardeners, to upo an American phrase, "worked on shares;" that tho farmer, when plowing with hi3 oxen, bejruiled his labor with homely songs, two of which have been found, and connect this very remote civilization with the usages of to-day. KXl'KKSSIONS. There is no death ! what seems so Is transition. This life of mortal breath Is bu t the suburb of the life elysian Whose portals we call death. LOSGFELLOW. Love has the instinct of immortality. Make each day a critic on the last. Pope, Easily moved a soft heart and little furmture. The biggest grain elevator in the world whisky. Hope is desire melted through the sieve of belief. Affliction, like the iron smith, shapes as it smites. Better a diamond with a flaw than a peb ble without. "If you can not talk like Apollui try to work like Dorcas." A wag says of a toper: 'His nose has passed the rubicund." How to procure a telling effect Commu nicate a secret to a woman. It is a most degrading naturo that will betray an honorable confidence. The man who works without recompense gets no hire in his profession. God meant us to do good work, but leaves us the power to do evil if we choose. The lowliest, not less than the loftiest life, may have the element of an infinite dig nity. . An elevated purpose is a good and en nobling thing, but we can not begin at the top of it. Taking things as they come isn't so very difii?ult. It's parting ith them as they go that's hard. To correct an evil which already exists is not so wise as to foresee and prevent it. Chinese Proverb. The hardest rocks are made of the softe mud, just as the biggest swells are made from the smallest men. Take your stand by the altar of truth &ad be not led or driven thence by sophistry or by ridicule. Dr. Vincent. - Hope is like the sun, which as we journey toward it casts the shadow of our burdens behind us. Samuel Smiles. "I am afraid of tbe lightning," said a pret ty girl to her lover. "Quite natural," he replied, uwhen you have a heart of steel." The most splendid creation of God is a good great man; higher is he than the- sun, or the stars, or the .glory of th firma ment. . There never were in the world two opinions alike, no more than two hairs or two grains. The most universal quality Is diversity. The patient pursuance of a high idoal is nature's crucial test; desperately to miss it mav be the final discipline of character. E S. Phelps. Keep doing, always doing. "Wishing, dreaming, intending, murmuring, talking, sighing and repining, are idlo. and profitless employments.

TVIJfTEK LOVE. BY MARQARKTJ. PRESTOX. Dear rieart! You ask if time has changed The love of Ion g ago ; If summer's flush of love is past The love we cherished so. Because with hand in hand we walk Together in the snow. We can not turn life's seasons back. However much we grieve That summer's solstice days are gone We cannot once deceive These hearts, so versed in love's true lore, With any make-believe. The roses pearled with fancy's dew No longer meet our glance; The lily stalks of sentiment We look at half askance. And smile, perhaps, to think they once Were fragrant with romance. Content us so! We own tbe change; We know the splendid nours Ilave gone with all their drifts of clouds And mists of rainbow showers; And love has had its summer-time For these twain hearts of ours. And now October's deepening glint Goldens the season o'er: The perfect fruit is on the stem. The kernel at the core We've eathered In our harvest-graith.

nat can we wian lor more? And yet love's lucid atmosphere Ilath known no clearer shine; The birds that linger never sang With trills if few so floe: The starlight, as we walk beneath, Seemed never more divine. And a my heart in curtained hush bits wrapped in dreamy bliss Beside our Lares-fire and feels The warmtn of clasp and kiss I wonder if our sumeer love Was half so sweet as this! Our Continent. HOUSEHOLD. What to do with Old Thing. Harper's Bazar. Spring opens for the housekeeper with visions of closets and boxes whoso accumulations must be sorted and stored for future use. ProVably every woman will ask herself the samo question as she sorts her treasures: "What is the use of keeping so many old things?" and, visited with sudden desperation, sho will give half to the washerwoman, burn much, and hoard the rest more closely than ever to atone for her frenzy of lavnhness. And how surely, six weeks after she has burned the old newspapers and given away tho old sacques, will she find that the account of Daniel Webster's great speech was in the village paper sho threw away, and that the files of the old pictorials she sold the ragman for-a cent a pound, will be in request by collectors, because the plates are to be destroyed; while the old jacket was just the right shade to go with Cousin Sarah's applique, and both are useless divorced from each other. It is remarkable to view the hoards oi rubbish even the best ordered household brings forth at the spring cleaning the empty bottles, tin cans, broken chairs, scraps of iron, paper, and rags. And not a little intelligence goes to reduce these 4,baibarian hordes" to quote an unprincipled witling to order. What is fit to save, how' to keep it in best shape and with least trouble, and what you may destroy with a clear conscience, are worth learning. It is a good rule nver to allow a newspaper to be destroyed till it is a week old, but to draw for use on old stock. Let the pile gather "till some convenient time next week, when you want to lie down on the lounge, and go over them, clipping the ' recipes, the interesting descriptions of foreign places, of trades, and adventures, which are so largo a part of the best journals. Having picked tho brains of your paper?, send them neatly piled to the big box in the cellar, where they can be found for lighting the Are, polishing windows, rubbing stoves, or for the rag vender. Save all your rags and clippings, not more for your own Ihriit than for the (rood of the world for manufac tures find it difficult to get as much paper stock as is needed. 1 am amused to see the anxious air with which a publisher who Sometimes visits our house regards every scrap ot letter-paper and of rag which comes in his way. Don't waste it," he protests; "we never can get fine paper cheap enough. Save all your rags." So I save them lor love of literature and nice books. One can rot run to the great rag-bag with every day's clippings, so there must be a gay round bag, with a rattan in the casing to hold its mouth open, at the corner of the work-table or sewing-machine, and the red and black waste-basket, with its felt and plush appliques and large tassels,, has no sinecure. If you haven't a scrap basket, I will mention that a half-bushel peach basket, painted with black japan and lined with Turkey red, looks genteel enough to bring into company. Once a week all receptacles are emptied into one, and the scraps carried to tbe big bag in the closet. All the nice Manila wrapping-paper from parcels is saved, ironed smooth, and laid in a wide drawer till wanted for lining trunks, drawers, covering books and shelves, and for parcels again. Some families never have a sheet of tidy Manila wrapping, and are reduced to tne ignominy of carrying parcels done up in newpaper. V ith paper you want string, so every tit is saved, not wound In a ball, which isn't a convenient way of getting at it, but coiled by itself, and dropped into a pasteboard box in the closet, or in a pocket of the waste-basket. A box for the cotton string and another for the twine keep each sort separate and handy. A box for Email white wrapping paper and druggists' colored string helps to do up packets neatly for Christmas. . All the fancy papers which come about fine goods or choice groceries, even to the blue paper around the macaroni, are saved for children's fancy-work, covering boxes, making tissue-paper flowers for lamp-lighters, and forty other things. I never knew a bit which didn't find use if kept in good condi tion. A big ribbon box keeps all these things out of the way.and saves them for ten years, yet you will find in a holiday carni val or church work: society grateiui occasion for them all. The only thing it is useless to save is brown grocery paper. The ragman will not take it, and it should be burned at once, unless you have a garden, when it may be wanted to shade hot-beds or plants just set out. . Keep it then in sheets evenly spread out, with a board on the top of the pile. If you are no' in a settled home, and re move frequently, it is not best to keep files of newspapers, unless of illustrated ones. Your scrar-book will hofd the pith of them all. But if you have a home blessed state! you will find it profitable in the end nev- . .i .v? - i er to inrow away anyming wnicn you or any cn else can make useful. To do this,' ?'ou waat a home with a garret, which reieves the rest of the house from lumber. A mode) garreV ihould be finished to keep out dust, rain and insects for storage. Once sortad and packed, your possessions will give yea no care for years. . Advertising Cheats. I Providence Advertiser.! It has become so common to write the beeinninff of an eleeant. interesting article and then run it Tnto some advertisement that we avoid all such cheats, and simply cull attention to the merita of Hop Bitters in no nlnin. honpst terms flJ DDSSible. to in duce teorle to erive them at feast one trial. as no one who knows their value will ever use anything ehe. , Everyone should try King's Twenty-five-Cent Bitters.

A Remarkable Discovery. A REAL SKIN CURE. THEE IS ONLY ONE, AND THAT WITH SIMPLE NAME. From the Home Journal. , Beware of im posters, pirates, or any old articles which now suddenly claim to be best.
