A NEW FASHIONED FAN.

Some years ago, in Na,chez, Mississip.
pi, Professor Maflit yas announced 10
preach IN that city on certain day. The
fame OF the gifted orator had preceded him,
and every person IN the City of Bluffs was
anxious to hear him. Somehow the news
happened TO reach the howell of an Old wo.
man, who, perhaps, had not heard ser.
mon for quarter Of a century, and very
seldom went cut into the world. She de.
termlned 10 hear tho stranger. Ii being
excessively warm weather al the time, and
having no fan she determined 10 purchase
one. She 20; to store where they hap.
penod to know her; and aware OF her ig.
norance, they determined TO have some fun.
They told her they had just received new
fashioned fan, a very beautiful article, and
handed her q common gill bellolos She
tined lis power to raise breeze, aud vas
delighted with il. To church shc went /;
the house belng crowded, she took her sea,
near the pulpit. The text was selected,
aud the preacher progressed warmly with
his subject, md so did tho old woman, who
brought her fan to her face, and commenc.
ed blowing away as if her salvation Deepen
dcd on keeping cool. Tdis attracted the
attention of the audience and the speaker
looked to sre what was the matter. His
eyes caugh, the old woman-he stopped
and smiled al the ridiculous figure she cut.
The old woman observed him looked at her
and cried out go 1t my magnolia, bless
God Use all attention" The audience
tainted, the curtain dropped, aud we left;
but the image Of the old woman with her
new fan is yet before US.

ALUM AND CHILDREN vs. FIRE.

We commend the following 10 the atten.
ton Of parents just now, when we scarcely
open paper but melancholy statement of
{" a child burnt attracts our observation {:
THE danger and difficulty can very
easily be avoided by the use of alum.
When clothing are washed they should
be rinsed out Of alum water--the solution
should be made tolerably strong. If the
clothing, which has been newly washed,
should require starch, The alum may be
put in the starch water.
Alum should be used on all occasions
It renders the clothing FIRE proof. All
clothing about house or steamboat made
of cotton should be impregnated with alum.
For instance, bed and window curtains,
&c, such articles generally having much
frlnging about them.
This hint, if attended to, will prove q
perfect safety TO clothing from fire"
