General Grant said in bis memoirs that he did nc t rfmerubsr ever usins: a profane word. Jdeniters of his staff, his private secretaries, Iiis sens and Admiral Aramen, his early playmate, concur in the statement that he was free from the habit of expressing impatience by profane or other expletives. About the time a boy learns to smoke with case aud dignity, without the fear of a wratby father before his eyes, he begins to wish lie had never learned. If you doubt this asrtion, boys ask the gentlemen of your acquaintance who are given to the tabic, and see if three-fourths of them woa't Touch f jr the truth of it. An fluent of the Humane Society was t liking to tbe jjil3 of a Chicago school, for the urpoe ot organizirjr tnem into a l!nd of l.rcv. 'The pledge was written on the blackboard, and all the pupils except one lield r p their hands to indu-se it. Johnnie's leather a?ked for an explanation. The TOUD2 boeful replit-d, '"Well. I'll tell rou. i3ill I'a.fy sauced mc yesrd" and smashed my fae." and I want to lick him first, and then I'll join." Little Billy Hatching of Iiwrenceville, Ga.. is a hero. A can of powder dropped into a ba k et of chips and wis thrown on the fire, before which stood Uilly's three little sisters. The boy jumped for the can, but, just as be seized it, the powder exploded. The little girls were not hurt at all, but the boy was badly burned. Some one asded him why he grabbed the powder. He answered as well as be could, for he was suffering intensely: "To save the girls " Forty years ago the first Dmd of Hope Was organized in London. At its last '"general muster" 50, 000 temperance people gathered in the Crystal Palace and were ?nterta;ned by a concert given by a chorus of ". cf these little temperance soldiers. A novo I feature which was met with great applai se by the audience was when, at the wave f the conductor's hand, the little Bauart music book each child held was waved. color front, in face of the mighty audiei.ee the trebles blue and white, the altos ro. and the bass green. These are the banner colors of the United Kingdom. John I'. Y. Hägen, the young man who saved th lives of a dozen Philadelphia boys on the Schuylkill River in February, 1831, has at school in the Greenwood Insti tute, ilattawan, X. J., his tuition and other eipenses bein paid for out of a fund raised by the admirers f his courage and heroism, and so faitnful has he been in his studies that he stands near the head of his class, though at the time he entered the place he could scarcely recognize bis own name in print Several Philadelphia gentlemen propose to continue the young man at school another 5 ear that he may finish the course. The boy who has the heroism to save others at tbe ri.-h of his own lite will rarely disappoint ti ose who lend him a helping hand and use their influence to give him a better place in the world. 3Iother'a Idea. t. Nicholas. I Mr. Atherton Las been the master of the Centerville Academy ever since I can remember. A few months ago, however, he was offered a better position in the city, and lie decided to leave Centreville. Ve were very sorry, for we all liked him; and now that h- has left, it really seems as if a part of the building itself had been taken away. "We were to have a public examination during the last two days of his stay, and l'lorence Grantly had thought of a beautiful project, bhe always has good ideas, though i must .-ay they are generally rather expensive. Hut then her father is rich, and I sap-1-ose s-Le never has to think twice before spending a dollar, as some of us are obliged to do. Her plan was to buy an album, put all our pictures in it, and present it to Mr. Atherton before the company, after he had closed the school. The girls wished me to make the presentation address. Of course I was enthusiastic about it, and went Lome thinking over what I should say and should wear aad all that. There are fifteen frirls in our class, and Florence said she knew of a lovely album, one we wouldn't be fishamed to give him It would cost only eleven dollars and sevehty-five cents; and that, you see, would be only seventy-five cents ap'ece. I went in to dinner full of the new project, and bean to talk about it at the table. Hut I'atber vetoed it at once. He siid he didn't believe in the idea at all. It would be too expensive for some of us, and he did not wish to hear anotbtr word about it. "When Father takes that tone, of course there's no more to be said. I am too old to cry before everybody, but I didn't wish any more dinner, and as soon as possible I went cp to my room and had a good cry. Mother came upstaiis as quickly as she could. I knew she would. Mother is a born comforter. Oh, what do girls do who have no mother? She told me I must remember bow bard Father had to work for every dollar, 8Ld that although what he said sometimes sounded harsh, it was only because his business troubles made him worry, and it added to them to have as wish for things be felt he couldn't afford. Dear Mother' I wonder if bhe ever wishes for things she doesn't get. Then I told Mother all about it; that it was Dot merely that one plan, but that I csuld never join in aay project that came np. All tl e other girls Had birthday parties and I weti', but never gave one in return. "Of cocrsf I don't expect that," said I, feeling a little onscience-stricken, as I saw the look on .ther's face. "Birthdays are so common i this family, of course we can't notice th ". ; but I thought this time we had found eoi. -'.hing Father could sympathize with. H.-. often speaks of Mr Atnerton, and the resect he has for him but of course that's all -r now. If I can't, I can't; it does ee em l.ard though never to do as the others do.'" 'I know it, child." Mother said, softly touching my hair. "Many tbinj?s are hard. You are eld enough now to know a little of the life of your elders," she went on; "and you must remember that it is absolute necessity, and not lack of sympathy, that Xorres I'apa to ?ay no. as he sometimes does." Well, if he would only soften it a little." J couldn't help saying. "A blunt no is a t great Jeal Larder to bear."

"I know, dear." Mother said, with a sigh; "but Ftb-r thinks he does what is best." "Hut what can I say. Mother. I nun let them ki'uw I can't contribute. This very afternoon they'll all be talking of it." Tell them nothing positively. Say as little as possible; and give me time to think." At this, my mind was relieved immediately. I was sur tbe trouble would somehow eml in just tbe right way. thougu I knew Mother couldn't squeeze the money from the housekeeping allowance, even if she ould think it right to do so after what Fatter had i-aid. Hut I had faith that Mother wou'd niansge for me, so 1 went to Fcbool, fteüns very confident, aad said at litrle ai possible. That night Mother came to my room and told me to invite all of my clas to spend ThuTsday evening with us. "You know Grandpa tent us a carrel of apples," ehe said, "a bu'hel ot nuts, and some corn to pop. May be I'll make a cake or two, and the coflee" will not cost much. Fcrtunately, we have dishes enough. That will offset the birthday parties a little, and nake you have a" good time too. If you know any really nice boys, invite them, and may be Papa'Ji get out his violin, and you can have a little dance." You see. Mother was a girl herself once. She don't forget her feelings, and she talks over such things with me just as though she were another girl. Of course I was only too delighted to obey, but still, I must confess, although it was very nice, it didn't help me out of the real difficulty a bit. It gave the girls something fresh to tall? about, however; and it would be three weeks before Mr. Atherton would leave, the subject of his pjesent dropped out of sight for a few days. Hut the matter of the boys troubled me a gTeat deal. We girls are all about fourteen and fifteen, and really, while we are almost voung ladies, boys at that aee are very boyish. They don't know what to do with their hands, nor how to ask one to dance, nor how to do anvthing nicely. I mean the generality of boys; of course my brothers do, but then they have had mamma to train them, and sisters to practice with ever since they were little, which, of course, makes a difference. If it were not that I bated to give up the daccing, and if it was'nt such a bother to dance with a girl with a handkerchief tied on her arm because she keeps forgetting she is a boy, and taking tbe wrong hand and everything is put out I should have given up the idea of asking any boys. Again I fly to my never-failing refuge a time of trouble, and Mother drew out her needle slowly from the stocking she was darning, and began to consider the matter. "You see. Mother, it isn't a grand alfair, but I want it to be as pleasant a time of its kind as possible, and a lot of awkward boys would just spo:l it."' "Now, don't decry the boys, my de.ir; th-y are a very good institution in their place." "Yes. indeed, but their place is sliding downhill, or skating, not in a girls' party trjing to be agreeable : and they have sense enough to know it. You know 3ourself how impo-sible it is to get Joe to go anywhere with me. and be is a model of politeness, compared with most of his associates." WelJ. it wouldn't be qnite fair to punish the bovs. and girls, too, in trying to amuse them," Mother replied. "There are boys enough who would be interested in this little gathering of yours. There are those three lads at the minister's who are fitting themselves for college. They are iot more than sixteen years old, and ought to be above a little informal party. .Besides. Mrs. Grey told roe she wished they kuew some people who would make their stay pleasanter for them. Thea tßere is younp: Mr. Adams, ot Dr. Preston's. 1 know he would come, and his mother wrote me, asking me to be good to him. "Ob, what a dear mother you are, that puts the success of the thing beyond doubt!" "There are four good names, then, to start with," said Mother; "and those, with John

and Sam, Father's young friends, will be a good beginning. As for the rest, let the girls themselves invite them ; there's nothing like making people responsible for the success of a thing." Well, tbe next day being Wednesday I took the class into my confidence, and between us all we made out a list of gentlemanly and agreeable boy-friends; but the four that Mother took it upon herself to invite were the best of all. Well, every one came; not one of the thirty was missing. Through all Father'sJ a. 1 1 1 irouDies, we nan sept our nouse, Decause Mother's father gave it to her when she married, it was a large old-fashioned house with a wide hall that went right through it; two sets could dance there and one in each parlor. When I was tired. Mother took rnv place at the piano; and with Father at the violin we had as eood music as one could wish for dancing. All the girls wore their best dresses but without finery, and everything went off beautifully. At eleven we had our simple refreshments. Mother had cut up a sheet of mottoes and scattered them among the popped corn, and they made ever to much fun. When that was over and we were standing about before beginning anything else. Father suddenly spoke up, saying that there was a little matter to which he would like to call attention; he supposed that the masculine portion of his audience would hardly be thrilled, but the girls, he knew, would be deeply interested. Then he went on to say that there had been som talk among ths young ladies of getting up a surprise present for their teacher, and that an album had been spoken of ; but he said he had a scheme that seemed to him much better. Then he brought out a sheet of Bristol board, beautifully ornamented with scroll work, and handsomely engrossed upon it was a set of resolutions saying how sorry we were that Mr. Atherton was going to leave, how much we had profited by his stay with us, and expressing our best wishes for his future. I don't, of course, give all this in Father's words, but after he had read the testimonial, he made a capital, witty speech. Then he called on us all to sign the testii monial if we approved it- He told us, too, that he could have the sheet nicely framed for three dollars, which would involve a cost of only twenty cents to each subscriber; and be would ventnre: to say that Mr. Atherton woulu be even better pleased wüh the testimonial proposed than with something more expensive. Of course it "took" immeJiately; all the girls were delighted and signed it there and then, in their very best handwriting, and most of them paid their twenty cents at once, We empowered Father to have it framed, and they voted that I should make the presentation. Hut the fact that Father had entered into it so well and done so much just for my pleasure touched me more than all. I knew that he had given a great deal of attention to ornamental penmanship, but I bad no idea he could make so handsome a scroll as that testimonial. I always knew, of course, that Father loved his children. If any of us are sick, he is as teader as a woman; and he daily makes all manner of sacrifices for us; but here he showed that he had a great deal of spmpatby with all our hopes an, plans. Of course with the cake and coffee and everything, the entertainment cost more than my contribution and picture would have d one, but it seems that Mother had been planning for some time to do sometime for me which should help me pay my party obligations, and that was not tbe only time when she proved that she has "the happy faculty of common sense," as Father says. I do beiieve my little party was more talk ed about than those of many of the other girls, though they cost many times as much money as did mine. Well, examination day came, and when I presented the testimonial to Mr. Atherton. though I faid only a word or two, he could hardly speak at all, and he told Father afterward that we couldn't have pleased him bet ter. It teems that he bad heard some whi.'j ers about a present, and had a fear that it was going to be something expensive, and felt troubled about it; for. as he told Father, be couldn't refuse a thing before it was offend him, and he didn't know what to do; but the testimonial he could accept with real pleasure and satisfaction. ivu caa haicUj lmsgiue what a düiereat

There were two bright little girls off for a holiday with their Western uncle, a big, pcod natured man, with a diamond breastpin, and his voluble son, a lad about the age of his cousins, whom he constautly pestered with his rude and domineering behaviour. The boy was a product which it is the deppsir of all Europe to produce, and our travellers had great delight in him as an epitome of American "smartness." He led all the conversation, had confident opinions about everything, easily put down his deferential papa, and pleased the other passengers by bis self futliclent know-it-all air. To a boy who had travelled In California and seen the Alps it was not to be expected that this humble mountain could afford much entertainment, and he did not attempt to conceal his conterap for it. When the stage reached the Kip Van Winkle House, half-way, the shy school girls were for indulging a little sentiment over the old legend, bat the boy, who concealed his ignorance of the Irving romance until his cousins had prattled the outlines of it, was not to be taken in by any such chaff, and though he was a little staggered by Hip's own cottage, and by the sight of the cave above it which is labelled as the very spot where the vagabond took his long nan, he attempted to bully the attendant and drink-mixer in the hut, and openly flaunted bis incredulity until the bartender showed him a long bunch of Hip's hair, which hung like a scalp on a nail, and tbe rusty barrel and stock of the musket. Tbe cabin is, indeed, full of old guns, pistols, locks of hair, buttons, cartridge-boxes, bullets, knives, and other undoubted relics of Rip and tbe Revolution. This cabin, with its facilities for tlaking thirst on a hot day which Rip would have appreciated, over a hundred years old according to information to be obtained on the spot, is really of unknown antiquity, the old boards and timber of which it is constructed having been brought down from the Mountain House some forty, years ago. FASHION AS IT FLIES. . Bl id -Su turner Dresse. Jackets and Mantles. Varieties. Very dressy black toilettes are in great favor at present for dinners and afternoon receptions. The special fancy for these is a waist of black watered silk with lace shirts, and these Frsnch dresses should be stripped across or Vngthwise, as the wearer chooses, w ith priii uf the skirt of scalloped flounces or of the wide lace the whole length of the skirt, yet scalloped on one edge, and the remainder of piece lace, which is fir more effective for drapery. Narroy bows of watered ribbon trim the front of the waist and the side of the skirt, and a large watered sash makes the drapery more bouffant. If the corsage is a basque, it is laced in front and has a V at the neck in lront only. If a pointed waist is preferred, as for very elaborate dinner dresses, it is laced behind, and cut down in a V both in front and back, and all sleeves äre omitted, or e'se there are elbow sleeves of the lace used as a transparent, tied just above .the elbow with a ribbon bracelet. Short" sleeves are thought to detract from style in these dresses, and the preference is given to no sleeves whativer or at most an inch-wide bias fold of tulle like that which edges the V neck. To give variety to the toilette, women who know how to economize have several waists for lace skirts; one of these may be of lace like the tkirt, another of velvet, and a third of (1 " .1 crape or of striped silk, or of the dined (ilk just described. White canvas dresses for midsummer, as thin as any grenadine, have large cross-bars of blue or scarlet made of thick wool like English crewels passed in and out of the canvas meshes. These are made up with most graceful jackets that have pleated shirt fronts, gathered shirt sleevea, and a belt in front of red or blue English morocco fastened by a buckle. The shirt-blouse front are of plain white canvas with a box pleat in the middle stitched nar each edge, with feather stiching in red or blue; the broad sailor collcr and the straight wristbands of the shirt sleeves are similarly stitched. The deep drarery has a cross barred apron with a revers of white, with feather stitching, and the pleating at the foot i3 also white with tbis feathery vine for its finish. Tbe dress just described shou'd furnish hints to the young embroideresses who ask the Bazar Low they shall embroider their tunimer dresses. This feather design is the fame as that known by many as brier stitching, and is the simple pattern seen on French under-clothing, gown, and flannel skirts. It is rapidly and easily done, and is commended to the home dress maker. It is seen on lawn-tennis and yachting blouses of white flannel wrought in blue, or in whiteonblue. Very heavy white embroidery is also seea on the costliest cotton dresses shown at the rooms of fashionable modistes. Large scallops and lengthwise stripes of rose vines graduating narrower away from the scalloped selvage from the greater part of summer dresses of pale blue, pink, lilac, or buff eingbani or Chambery. These vine stripes alternate with box pleats of plain gingham down the front and sides of the skirt, and form its gathered full straight back. They are them pleated in as the deep frill around the hips of a basque of th plain color, or else they are wide enough to transform such a barque into a bouffant Marie Antoinette polonaise. Sometimes Valenciennes insertion alternate with these rose vines in the basque or polonaise, and down the front and sides ot the skirt. -Valenciennes lace forms full jabots on the basque and edges the scalloped embroideries of tbis costume. The idea of stripes, it will be seen, is carried out in these embroideries, as in many other things of tbis season's toilettes. The jacket, the dressy little mantle and cape, are the only garments used for the street. The ulster is kept as a resource and for traveling, especially ocean voyages, but it is not seen upon the promenade as formerly. The walking jacket for young ladies presents itself in so many-fascinating disguises and is to exactly what is needed as an addition, not as a covering, for a pretty walking suit that it is no wonder it retains all, and more than all, its old-time prestige. There are many varieties some of which are very striking adapted to the seaside, to a morning walk in country grounds or garden, to a ride on a coach with a party or a sail bv moonlight, but not to city streets. Those who wish to render a jacket serviceable upon "all" occasions should avoid the red jackets, the jackets with white or buff vests or very startling buttons, and choose the good cut, the standard fabric and simple style, though tbe finish may be as fine as any; and a silk or fatin lining or facing should be considered indispensable Oh, to He Kid of Calomel. Thousands of people who are alllicted with a diseased liver, indigestion, waterbrash, sour stomach; or a generally intolerable biliousness, as it is termed, use mercury. This is done reluctantly perhaps, but the commonplace argument is: "Oh, nothing will reach tbe liver and pleen except blue mass; could I pet something else, I wouldn't use It." Header, you can; and that something else is f-immons Fiver Kegulator. It is equal in lwfr to blue mass, and without any of its injurious effects. Bnrsford'a Arid I'hofrphat.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE AND INCIDENT.

Twentv-two Baptist churches have been organized in Nebraska during the past year. Nothinz is so stronz as eentleness; nothing so gentle as real strength. St. Francis de Sales. Hlessed be God. I not onlv begin pravine when I kneel down, but I do not leave oil praying when I raise up. 1. Adams. A OvAar Fall lit.tl edrl closed her nraver. . the other night, by murmuring: "And, God, bless the flowers that bloom in me spring, tra la." It is related of a popular clergyman that he startled a dull prayer-meeting, recently, by announcing that he "didn't propose to act as umpire for a sleeping match." My God, 1 do not fear To yield mysoli to Thee: However tränke Thy will aii'car. It must be good for me Rev. George Wade UoWtma. The Methodist church Bouth has elected the following additional bishops: Rev. Drs. W.W.Duncan, of South Carolina; C. B. Galloway, of Mississippi; Eugene R. Hendrix. of St. Louis, and Joseph Stanton Key, of Georgia, The next general assembly of the Presbyterian church will contain about 4s0 commissioners, a reduction of about 10) mainly distributed as follows: New York, 22; Pennsylvania, 12; Ohio, 12; Illinois, 13; Indiana, 8; Iowa. 12; total 84. Paul Cook, president of the French Methodist conference, and who has taken a leading part in the spread of Methodism in that country, is dead. He was the originator of Freren Sunday schools, and was at first the victim of much persecution. The board of publication of the Tresoyterian church reports that its receipts froui the sa'e of its periodicals last year were $10 J,(m;2.70 and it makes the very remarkable statement that the unpaid bills gives up as hopeless for the entire year aruouited to $7.401. The Jewish Reformer announces that the next conference of American rabbis will be held at Cincinnati on Monday, the 23th of June, in the temple Bene Teshurien, and invites all American rabbis who faror the cause of reform and progress within the pale of Judaism to attend. ; Bishop W. H. Miles, of the colored Methodist Episcopal church in America, weighs 300 pounds, wer.rs a suit which cost him from $1 to $7, carries a pair of old-tines red leather saddle pockets, and is worth $20,X0 in money and city property. He is selfmade; but he is made. The communicating of a man's self to his friends works two contrary effects; for it redoubleth joys and cutteth griefs in half; for there is no man that imparteth his joys to his liriends. but he enjoys the more; and no man that imparteth his grief to his friend.?, but he grieveth the less. Bacon. The Rev. A. J. Scott has been asked to resign his pastorate of the First Congregational Church of Evanston, 111. The charges against him generally are neglect of pastoral duties and lack of interest in church work. Specifically, he is charged with riding a tricycle and smoking cigars in the public streets. Philadelphia has Bixty-seven Baptist churches and seventeen missions. The total church membership is 19 !.". There are eightv-three Bible schools, with otticers and teachers. 2,00.1, and scholars 23 !7J. There are in the city iö0 Sunday schools, with an attendance of lSG,8.'r scholars and over Hi.OOO teachers. The bible commands tha. servants shall be treated with love and kindness, more than 700 times. The poor and the needy are ieferred to more than 150 times, while the word "rich" appears only 21 times. On the other hand, widows and orphans are spoken of compassionately, of course more than 100 times, the expressions "right" and "justice" appear iOü times, and "love" and "mercy' 300. The archbishop of Philadelphia has published in his diocese the decisions on the recent plenary council, of Baltimore, in regard to the sale of liquors on Sunday, and announced that all Roman Catholics under his jurisdiction must either abstain from selling Intoxicants on Sunday or leave the church. Should they disregard this injunction the priest will refuse 1 0 grant them absolution, and thus deprive them of the sacraments. The Springfield Union tells a good story of the Rtv. Ir. Osgood, who forty years ago wis pastor of the First Church in that city. One evening at the prayer meeting m the little chapel, as he was praying he made a gesture and knocked off a small lamp that stcod on the pulpit. He opened his eyes and looted over, and seeing that the lamp was not broken, remarked: "Well, it was good ula.'s, any way," and then, closing his eye, wnton with his praver where he had left off. ALL AROUND THE HOUSE. Summer Dinbes.--Decorative Hint. Good Tempered Childreu. A nourishing broth. Order of your butcher three or four pounds of the neck and leg bones of a lamb; the portions trimmed off from the roasts. 'Put them over a fire, with water to cover them, and timmer for two hours. Add half a cup of sago aud boil three-ouartrs of an hour longer, then season to taste with salt and pepper and strain. Toast tme milk crackers and butter hot to f orve w th it. Spiced beef. Boil a p'ece of beef-in a quart of water until very tender, take from the water, chop fine, season with salt, pepper, a half teaspoonf il of cloves; add water in which tbe meat ws boiled, place in a mould, plice weight on and press. Waen well pressed together, cut in slice. Any Jdece of beef will ans.ver for spiced beef aness too fat. A delicious cherry pudding is made in this way: Make a crust as for baking-paw-der biscuit; roll it out till it is about twothirds of an inch thick. Stew enough cherries so that when they are spread on the crust they will cover it and be deeo enough to make a good layer of fruit; roll the crust up then, taking care to keep the cherries from falling off. Wrap a cloth around it; sew it loosely with a coarse thread, which is easily pulled out. Allow plenty of room for the crust to rise. Lsy this on a plate and set it in a steamer. Steam it for an hour and a half. Serve in slices, with sauce. The object in stewing the cherries is that the juice will not be soaked into tbe crust. Graham bread made expressly for dyspeptics, should contain neither yeast, mo'.asses, nor soda. The objection to molasses lies in its üatural acidity, requiring soda in the bread, and in its being very apt to create acidity in the stomach, while soda is something r-o person with weak and impaireJ digestive organs should use. Fruit lie. Make a pie of fresh canned or jam strawberries, raspberries or peaches. One cup new milk or cream; one half teaspoonful corn starch, dissolved in a little cold milk; one tablespoonful of sugar; whites of two eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Boil three minutes. When quite cold take top crust from pie, pour on the mixture, replace crust, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and set away to cool. Very nice. HOME PECORATION. Woman has no more important duty thai that ot making home pleasant. Neatness and cleanliness are indispensable to a cheery, cozy lockiDg room. A plain room plainly furnished and scrupulously clean is far more bright and beautiful than a more pretentious one richly adorned with coitly furniture that is soiled, multilated and always in disorder. A few thrifty, uicely-kept flowering plants fnd trailing vines are one of tbe moft enlivening adjuncts to a living room, and a sheltered, ninny window is far better for them, la moderately cjol weather, than ' .-- - - p - -' i

the over-heated and often dusty inside position, and they are just as easily seen also. A few nice pictures on the walls are always pleasing; but no- picture that shocks the feelings should ever have a place there. Pictures of war, murder, death-bed scenes, animal fights and other soul-harrowing views ought never to be made at all, and especially allowed within the sacred precincts of home. Bright, gay, happy and inspiring views alone should meet tbe gaze of the family circle. If there be unsightly objects in the" room or recesses that contain unnecessary adjuncts to comfort and convenience, a bright chintz curtain will screen them from view, and will of itself make a pleasant resting-place for the eye. should a bit of plastering fall from the wall a piece of white muslin neatly pasted over the place will hide the defects and save all further scaling off and drippings of litter. In a thousand ways one can veil the ugly and add to the beautiful, until the humblest little home may become a very bower of pleasantness and cheerfulness. Gauze or lace curtains are the most suitable unless one can have soft silken or plush ones, and these latter are apt to make the room dark and gloomy. Mexican gauze comes in all the ligbt tinte, pale tints, blue and crimson on a fawn ground and other combinations, and let it iu the light in softened tints. White gauze with lace edging are also in favor, and give that dainty looic to a room so desirable. Sets of furniture are out of favor, and an old set should have its chairs and sofas covered in diffrent colored plushes satins, velours or silk as the case may be, or they may be covered with all four materials and still be artistic. Birch-bark scrap basket trimm?d with lichens and mosses, are amoug ths litest .household novelties. A lovely cover for a baby's parasol or its carriage is made by getting squares of antique lace together. It will be necessary to cut some of the squares into halves to fill in the space. Trim the edge with deep lace of the same kind. This is a most serviceable cover, for it is durable and bears washing well. Pictures hung opposite windows are seldom seen to advantage, as the glass or the varnish reflects the light in an unpleasant manner, hiding the picture from the person standing in front of them. A very soft and pretty fringe for homemade rugs is to be obtained by raveling out the good parts of old stockings and mitteus; the crinkled appearance is its pretty feature, and it will last for a long time. Brown holland shades may be brightened

and given a pretty finish by trimming them across the bottom with caterpillar fringe; choose that made of the shades of brown tipped with scarlet. Good temper as well as good health, depends largely on the kind of food children are accustomed to eat. "Meat-fed children are cross, irritable and quarrelsome." This is t he testimony of physicians and h vgimsts. "One of the greatest trials of my life," said a conscientious mother to the family physician, "is that my children quarrel so with each other." On inquiry it was found that they were great meat-eaters. "Cease giving the children meat, pies and cakes at noon; give them miIk-toa.it, tiny graham or -corn-meal gems, cracked wheat with fruit sauce, fruit puddings, etc.," said this wise physician. "You must make the meal attractive and palatable. Oecorate the table with fruits and flowers, frequently using their own holiday presents of china. Follow this with light lunch at night, of simple farinaceous food before the ordinary family dinner; in this way they will De tempted with meat only at breakfast, and even then the steak or ham might be supplanted with fresh fish, fish balls, omlet, etc. The lady followed the plan laid dowu and in one year afterward said that it wouid bardly be recognized as the same family. The children were cheerfui, playful, gleeful and full of spirits; no more fretfulness and quarrels. Now they seldom have acute attacks of fever and inflammations. TWO LETTERS FROM WHITTIER. Iii Itesporsea to the Unitarians and the I'uiversalisis. Mr. John G. Whittier wrote as follows in reply to the invitation to attend the Unitarian festival in Boston recently: Oak Knoll, 5th mo., 19, IS;. Henry IT. Kdcs: Vv.ir Friend Your festival occurs on the same day as the Friends' Quarterly meeting at Aiuesbury, which I hoe to attend: but 1 thank you for the kind invitation.

The quarterly meeting of Friends at Amesbury takes place on the day of your festival, and with none but kind ieeliugs toward other denomination, I naturally am inclined to he with mine own people." I recognize the importance of the revolt of your religious aoeiety from the awful dotrma of predestined happiness for the few and damnation for the many, though in the outset that revolt brought with it something of the old fatalistie belief in the arbitrary will and power of the Almighty. Auining tbt a favored few 0111 be sived by a divine decree, irrespective of any merit on their nart, it was illoji ai at lenst to suppose that all might be sired in the same way. If I mistake not, this view his beengTeatly modified by the consideration tiat the natur.-d circumstance of death can not make any real change of character: that no one ran he compelled 10 be goo.i or evil: that freedom of choice belongs to both worlds, ami that tiu cy Its very nuture, inseparable from suffering. lam not accustomed to iiuach very grent importance to speculative opiuious und am not disposed to Hurrel with a uy cr-ed which avoids the danger on oue hand f i.itriiutiiig irnn'acable veogea ico and cruelty to toe Heavenly Father, an 1 0:1 the other of underrating the excee ling siuf alness of sin' and lis baleful coiieq ifcn.ies. lowly but Mirely trie dreadful b'lrdenofthe old belief in the predetermined eternity of evil is being lifted from the heart of humanity, and the goodness of (iud, which lea leth to repentance, is Mking the place of the inriuite S'-oru wüioti in id love well nigh impossible.

Johs;. Whittier. In London steps have been taken to procure a convalescent home for horses. The object of the home, as set forth at a meeting of those interested, is to enable the poorer classes cabmen, tradesmen and others t procure, on moderate terras, rest and treatment for horses that are failing from overwork or accidental causes, and which are likely to be benefited by a few weeKS rest and care.

CURIOUS, USEFUL AND SCIENTIFIC.

An l'nglish party will be sent to observe the total solar eclipse of August -S at the island of Greiiada, off tbe coast of South America. Prof. W. II. Pickering, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is also expected to so to the same neighborhood with one or two assistants. The eclipse there will begin early in the morning, before the sun is very high, but the weather prospects are more promising than on the coast of Africa, and of course the risk to health is smaller. There is a salt deposit in Lincoln County, Nevada, two miles lone, half a mile wide and of unknown depth, though in places it is shown to be sixty feet thick. It has been traced nine miles on the surface. It is of old foimatior, covered in some places by . a . .. basaltic rock and volcanic tufa. I here is another great deposit of rock salt in Churchill County, and the great Humboldt salt field is some fifteen miles long by six wide. Soda, borax and otber valuable minerals also eiist in large quantities near these loc ill ties. A natural iron-paint mine, of inexhausti ble quantity, has been discovered in the town of Epsom, N. II. The deposit begins at the very grass root9, and is fifteen to eighteen feet deep. There is a large and valuable deposit of ochre of various colors, from a beautiful crimson to gray, by the side of the Southern Railroad, 2 3 miles north of Somerset, V.y. The New Hampshire paint is said to te as good as Italian sienna. Perhaps that of Pulaski County, Ky., is also. The former requires no grinding or working over. There is danger in some of the patent hair dyes, and hence the Scientific American offers what is known as the walnut hair dye. The simplest form is the expressed juice of tke bark or shell of green walnuts. To preserve the juice a little alcohol is commonly added to it with a few bruised cloves, and the whole digested together, with occasional agitation, for a week or fortnight, when the clear portion is decanted and, if necessary, filtered. Sometimes a little common silt is added with the same intention. It should be kept in a cool place. The most convenient way of application is by means of a sponge. No very complete analysis of the poison of the scorpion has yet been made. The best on record are those by Jousset, presented to the French Academy in 1S70. He gives no definite statement of the chemical constitution of the venom, but does state tne niode of its action upon the blood, by which in severe cases it causes death. It affects the red corpusoles, paralyzing them so that they cohere one to another, thus becoming agglutionated until they are unable to pass through the cappilliaries. aud may cau9e fatal obstruction. So far as known, there is no chemical antidote which can neutralize the poison. Palm wine, or laknii, is made from the sap of the date palm. Trees in full vigor are selected for taping. The juice escaping from the wound is conducted by a reed into an earthfnware pot, and may amount to two gallons daily at first, gradually sinking to bout half that quantity toward the end of the taping, which is seldom allowed to exi et d a month. Much of tie "wine'' is drank 'resh, when it resembles sparkling cider, but 1 ecomes insipid after losing its carbonic cid. Its colors is opalescent and milky. After undergoing alcoholic fermentation it ontains 4 35 per cent of alcohol, -2 carbonic j. cid, and 5.C0 of mannite. Three years after date the floating islands -f pumice thrown up and into the sea by the tu pendous volcanic eruption at Krakatoa. in he Java seas, are found to have drifted n'ong the Indian Ocean in the last twelve i ionths (i7( miles in a direction west and south from where they were one year ao. r about five miles a day. Tbis accidental 1 elp to hj'drogphers, and all wh3 study t cean currents and drift, is pr bably the l est they have ever had, because the origin f the pumice is well known, t ie floating xpanse of it is so large that it. caaaot escspe notice, and the date3 and other p-rticulirs about it are all matters of record. STSONG 5TATE5IZKTS. Itev. S. II. Trover, of New Albany, Ind., ftates as follows how lie saved himself from an attack which threatened serious results: " On the 7th of June, 1SSI, I was taken with rheumatic fever, and for five weeks was not free from it. It then settled in my left foot, where it remained for about four weeks. Then it niovel to my hips, shoulders, neck and collar bone, where it stayed until driven out by Athlophoros. Previous to the use of that remedy I had tried the skill of five physicians, from whom I obtained po relief. Then I resorted to the iise of different remedies external and internal, but 1 continued to grow worse all the time until the 1st of October, when my druggist recommended Athlophoros. I'liad but little faith when I took the first bottle. At this time I was so helpless that my wife had to dress me, wash my face and assist lue out of bed. I could not sleep more than from thirty to forty-five minutes at a time, so intense was my pain. "My first dose of Athlophoros was taken at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I took two mp re soon after. The first dose gave me much relief, and the eecond eased me so greatly that I was enabled to talk freely and with comfort to my family and friends. The third dose enabled me tc sleep four and a half hours without waking. I continued the use of Athlophoros until fourteen bottles in all had been taken. By this time my health was so much improved that I left ofF the medicine. That was in December, 1S84, and I am now quite well." Rev. Wni. Cool, of Denver, Ind., says : " I used only one bottle of Athlophoros, and I think it a good medicine. I consider that I derived much benefit from it," " Athlophoros," says Mr. D. P. Sheets, of Mooresville, Ind., "gave me great satisfaction in a case of neuralgia, and I can heartily recommend it to others as doing all that is claimed for it." Mr. J. A. Wilson, the photographer of New Albany, Ind., whose offices are at Nos. 6 and 8 Main street, tells of one of these cases. His 6tory follows: , "I had rheumatism but it disappeared after using only one bottle of Athlophoros. It was in my arms and I had sharp, shooting pains. I was sufiering and coniplaining a good deal when a friend, coming into my gallery one morning, asked me what the trouble was, I said it was rheumatism. He told me of Athlophoros as a cure for neuralgia and rheumatism, and it struck; me very forcibly, as it did not claim to cure every complaint that flesh is heir to. I bought a bottle on the strength of what he said. That was all I needed. I used the one bottle over six months ago, and have not had oije ache or pain from rheumatism since." Mr. Hiram F. Rides, of Fort Brandl, Ind., says of his wife's cure: "Her Buffering from neuralgia was intense, and we concluded to try Athlopho. ros. Almost from the first loe I could see that she was improving, and two bottles effected & permanent cure, 60 that she feels no effects of lier once dreaded disease. I tried it for rheumatism and soon found relief, one bottle curing me. I shall take great pleasure in recommending Athlophoros to tnj neighbors." If you cannot get Athlopitoros of yorr dm. pist. we will Bend it express paid, on receipt of resrnlar price one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you bur it from your druggist, but if he hisn t it, do not be persuaded to try something el"e, but order at once from tis as direct.-,!. AruioFUOäoa So iu Yt'&irsutfew Vk,

FOR THE CURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, AND ALL MALARIAL DISEASES. The proprietor of tali celebrated medicine jaitly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the pablio for tbe SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY aad PEEMANE5T cart of Ague and Fever.or Chilli and Fe ver.whether of short or long standing. Ha refers to tha entire Westers aad Soathera coaatry to hear him testimony to the truth of the asiertioa that in no case whatever will it fail to care if the directions are itrictlyfoUowedandcarried oat. In a great many cases a tingle doee hii been infficient for a cure, and whole facnliei have been cared bv a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its nee is continued in smaller dosei for a week or two after the dieeaie has been checked, more especially in difficult aad long-itanding cases. Usually tail medicine will not require any aid to keep the boweli ia good order. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonie, a tingle doe of KEXT'S VEGETABLE FAMILY FILL will be lufficient. Use no other. OH.
