Personal APPEARANCE OF MISS MAR

Personal APPEARANCE OF MISS MAR
TINEAU.-II is thus graphically described
by Bizarre: "Miss Martineau's appearance
has nothing of the careless and dowdyness
in dress and other particulars, which are
ap, to be associated with the idea Of literary
women. On the contrary, in costume, man
ners and outward aspect, generally, she is
perfectly lsdy-llke, and would pass for such
in the most refined circles. She is trlfle
above the average womanly height; we'll
formed, though tending to the English iul-
ness of person, instead Of exhibiting the fra
giIe slenderness so characteristic of AmerI-
can maidenhood; and with hand and loot
of uncommon elegance of confgutatlon.-
Her face and head are typical of intellect
and energy, though not, as whole, beauli-
full The lower jaw is massive, and some
what projectIng-too much so Tor symme-
lry-and the mouth, though the swelling
muscles around it stamp j. with an impress
of strength, is anything but handsome. The
ewes and upper portion of The face are fine,
and did the mouth and under jaw cores
pond with them, she would be what is call
ed handsome woman especially as she
has fine head Of hair, very dark brown,
glossy, and always arranged neatly and taste

hear the sligh,es, sound without the car

where and always. In addressing her you
grasp the bell shaped end of the tude (Which
is some two feet long,, and, apply thereto
your lips, speak into it with a somewhat
raised voice, while she puts the smaller ex.
tremity close to the ear. Ooe would sup

FIRE UPON THE HEARTH.

Ah! yes, memory is busy unlocking her
long closed cells where lay the we'll guar

comes mp before u.s. The hour of twilight
the lighted fire on the wide, clean-swepl
hearth, throwing its cheerful light and
warmth far into the centre of the room snd
keeping at bay the gathering darkness with
out, which stood grimly al the windows, or
skulked in the far,hest corners, shrouding
the old clock in its gloomy folds. Then
gathered the family circle around the ruddy
blaze-,hose, who during the day had been
separated by their various duties, meeting
here in blesl communion. Upon our low
stool we sat in the wide chimney corner, or
frolicked with Jumper upon the mat, ever
and anon pausing TO listen to the days ex-
periences Of those who had been out 10 bat

cred upon the hearth, now shooting up in
aspiring columns, and again falling TO the
'fores,ick,' we watched The play OF the ad-
vancng and retrealing light and shadow up
on the faces Of the loved ones around, ard
fancied with each change new beauty was
revealed. And then, strange contrast! wha
distorted visages started out upon US from
the polished surface Of the tall brass and
irons! Those old fire dogs how bravely
they stood the heat that made US retreat to
the outer verge of the hearth-how sacred
ly they were guarded from pin scratch or
careless blow-and with what pride the
good housewife dwell. upon their beauties

Then again, at the evenings close, wher
the candle had burnt low, and the book o.
the ki,ling had been laid aside, and The storm

sal over the dying embers, while fancy drew

GREENHOUSES IN WINTER.-Very few

plants with leaves broad enough to admit

PUTTING LAUGHING FACE ON SERI'
Gus MATTER.-While General Jackson was
operating in the Greek country, some twen'
ty odd years ago, he invariably gave orders
that all encampments should be together
but he had one officer, g., who, although a
brave man, was rather lawless, and disposed

From the Republican (Belfast Journal.
HORSE STABLES.

Horses employed in farm or other labori-
Gus work, should be provided with dry and
comfortable stables. Nothing conduces
more powerfully to the health and strength
Of this useful animal, than comfortable sta
bling. No animal delights more in cleanlI-
ness, it has been remarked, than the horse,
and 10 secure this, the stable should be To-
Gated in such situation as 10 secure free
air, exemption from humidity, and mild
temperlure. Uncleanliness in the Sable, not
unlrequenlly gives rise to troublesome dis
eases, and i. is therefore Of the greatest
importance that all excrement be carefully
and regularly removed, and The floors of the
stalls covered with dry and clean litter, on
which the animals may stand or lie without
coming in contact with filth or wet. In Ma
sons Farrier, i. is said tha. ''a log stable is
preferable to any other, on account OF It's
admitting free circulation of air in sum-
mer, and by the use of slabs or straw in win
:er, can be made warm and comfortable.
Opposite to each stall there should be lat
tce, or shutter, by which means you can at
pleasure, either welcome the cheering breeze
or bar out the threatening storm. The rack
should be smooth, high, and firmly fastened
TO The wall, which will prevent the horse
injuring his eyes, skining his face, and doing
himself other injury while eating. The up
righ. pieces in a rack should be four and
half inches apart, to preven. long food from
being unnecessarily wasted. The halter
should never be tied to the rack, (several fine
horses have been ruined by thus PractIce,)
but should be fastened TO ring in the man
ger, and confined by a long and smooth
piece of wood, weighing about pound.
With halter of this description, there is
no danger of horse hanging, alarming or
| I'M juring himself"
| On the size and arrangement Of stalls,
method of flooring, ETC., MIR. Mason has the
following directions:
"a stall should be four aud a half or FIVE
feet wide, which will alow him to lie down
with comfort. The stable floor should be
planked, to make the Goa. Of hair show 10
advantage, but a dirt floor is preferable,
when horse is wanted for service; there
is moisture received by the hooffrom the
earth, which is absolutely necessary TO
make it tough and serviceable. Either kind
of stable floors should be little raised to-
The stall, which produces an unpleasant
smell, and (when permitted to stand length
of time,) very unwholesome vapors. When
the size of the stable is calculated for seve-
raj horses, the partitions between The stalls
should be neatly and smo.hly planked low
enough to the floor to prevent the horse
when lying down, getting his legs through,
and high enough atop to Preven! them from
smelling, biting, and moles'Ing eac'r other.
A plentiful bed Of clean, dry straw, affords
TO fa,igued or travelling horse, as great
welcome as his food, and is as necessary IN
the stable as the pi,ch-fork, curry-comb and
brush"

Chloroform is being used to remove bees
from the honey. comb. The hive is placed
above chamber, having glass window at
one side, and small hole pierced at the
other. The chloroform is put into small
bottle, having two tubes through lis cork,
only one Of which is allowed 10 come into
immediate contact with the chloroform.-
The tube which does not come into contact
with the chloroform is inserted into the small
hole in the side of the box, and blowing

REMEMBRANCE OF THE DEAD.
{ I'm Ertract from the French Of Lamartine
We know the spot where lie
Our sleeping dead-but where
Is that which cannot die
The soul! Lord, is it there?
The carrier pigeon brings
A message meath his wings,
From India S distant shore
Sails pass from place to place,
But from its narrow space,
The soul returns no more.
When through the dead trees rise
The Autumn winds, and sweep
O'er the last flowers when sighs
Through the old pine trees creep;
When the deep midnight bell
Tolling passing knell,
Sounds o'er the hills dark brow -
Of every rising gale,
Of every weye's sad wall,
We ask-Their voice art thou?
All ! if their voices be
Too distant for our ear
Their souls in secresy
Whisper to us more near.
Around the slumb ring heart,
Crowding from every part,
Comes back their memory
Like dry leaves from the plain
Driven by storms again,
Back to the parent tree.
From the land of shadows bends
A mother torn away;
To her children she extends
Those arms where once they lay.
A bride in youthful bloom,
Borne to the silent tomb,
Crowned with the funeral wreath
A fathers honored shade,
A brother, sister laid,
Before US, low in death.
The infant at the breast
From its mothers bosom torn,
To its icy bed of rest,
From its little cradle borne!
All that we loved and mourn,
Who to that silent bourro
Bear away part of us,
From the dust murmuring cry
Ye who behold the sky,
Do ye still remember us?
