To PRESERVE NURSERY PIcTuREs.-Pic-
lures are IN almost endless source Of a.
musement to children, and as a great vari-
ETY. may now be had at a trif1ing cost, there
are but few families where somea are not to
be found, there are, perhaps, as few fami-
lies where yexation- has not been experl-
enced in finding how soon the mere paper
pictures are torn. A simple plan, by which
children may use them for years, without
tearing is to paste them on cheap calico
-or the better part Of worn-out calico
garments will do Just as well. Rub with
little smooth -four paste the back of a
picture and the calico on which it is to be
put; lay the picture smooth upon the cali
co, and leave it to dry gradually; when
quite dry, neatly cut round the edges, and
the picture will bear all the treatment chill.

Parents who have not tried, would be sur
tprised what fund Of amusement they
might inexpensively acquire for their chill

that comes in their way, and provide port
folio or box for their reception. When.
however, we say sJery picture, we must bs

of wisdom in the parent to destroy them

EFFECTS OF MooELIGRr ON FISH,
know an Instance where person purchas@
ed newly caught fish at the fishing station
and threw them founderinginto his wagon,
without taking the precaution to cover
them from the moons rays of that night
He lived distance in the country, which
required about FIVE hours to reach; and he
thought, as the journey was to be made in
the cool of thenight, all would be we'll
But he was greatly surprised when he ar
rived home al daylight to find the most of
his fish so green and putrid that they had
tobe thrown away. Why was this?--
Such an effect would not have been pro-
duced upen fish on a moonless night-not
eyenlby the exposure to the suns rays fof
the same PERIOD AL old housekeepers are
careful net to expose fresh fish or meat to
moonlight. 1t is also generally believed
that it is dangerous to sleep exposed to the
moons rays. These precautions and ex-
traordinarys opinions had their origin in
facts, which have observed on land and
twater. The great thing in nooted ques-
ttions in natural philosophy,is first to dis
i cover and arrange facts; but in accounting
4 for them, there may be variety of opin-
ions, until some new fact is discovered
: which settles all the disputed points.

IMPURE LANGUAGE.-There are some
habits which we can never annihiIate, af-
ter we have once formed them. The use
of impure language is one of these habits.
IL may be subdued and slumber for years
till its existence is almost forgotten, and
then in the delirium of fever, it may sud
denly burst forth, to the astonishment of
allwho listen. Many devoted Christian,
in the delirium of sick-bed, has shocked
hisfriends by the use of profane or obscene
language, which could be explained only
by the fact that he had been familiar with
such language in early life. In reading
the memoir of Dr. Grant, the missionary
to the HISTORIANS, was struck with fact
relating TO his last Illness. For seventeen
days previous to his death, he was in de-
lirium; but, says his biographer, "though
speaking almost constantly, on many top
les, in three different languages that is
English, Turkish, and Syrac-he did not
utter a single word he would have been a
shamed of afterward. His associates list
ened to these disclosures of his secret heart
and wondered that nothing appeared that
they would have wished to conceal. >

"such is Life.v

From the local column Of the st. Louis
Aazeiger is translated the following itcm.
"SucH Is LIFE"-One day last week,
early in the morning, that miserable con-
yeyance, which takes the poor friendless
dead to the City Cemetery at the city's
expense, halted In front of house in a
street in the Southern part of The city,
The driver alighted from the wagon, en-
tered the house, but appeared again soon
after carrying, in company with another
like disinterested looking man, a coffin
made ofrough boards. The coffin was
placed on the wagon, and it made speed
over the deserted streets toward the eem-
etery.
No one followed the wagon with a sorry
look-no one stood at her grave with a
feeling heart, when the earth fell upon the
coffin, and yet, this coffin contained the
corpse ofa lady, who once was adored by
hundreds-who once was honored, extoi
ed, envied in society-wlIo could com
mand riches, and who, but few years a.
go, before she trod tie shores ofthe con.
linent, could expect happy and content
ed old age.
This lady was Rosa Neschemi, ,the daugh-
ter of an immensely wealth Polish Noble
man. In early youth she was taken to she
imperial Court of Austria, where, in her
eighteenth year, she was married to a
French nobleman, who was very rich
Rosa Neschemi lived many long and hap
py years, partly upon the possessions Of
her husband, partly travelling through
Germany, Spain, Italy and England, and
gave birth to three sons who received the
best education, and upon whom the eyes
ofthe parents rested with great pride.
But then, the July Revolution at Paris
came, RoSa's husband took considerable
and active part in it, and on the 28th he
fell from the effect of three shots which he
received. His name is still honored with
place on the column in the Palace de Ia
Bastile.
Ofthe sons, tho oldest one, an exceeding.
ly gifted young man, was surprisingly
successful in Spain, and was at that time
private secretary to King Ferdinand
After the Kings death, he removed to :
villa in the neighborhood of Valencia
where, as is believed, he fella prey to the
dagger Of an assassin.

CONFIDENCE IN ONES SELF-W hen cri-

no blessing equal to the possession ofa stout

nothing more than greater effort than
ever at your hands If you prove re-
creant in the hour of trial, you are the worst
of recreants, and deserve no compassion.
Be not dismayed or unnamed when you

murmurs you hear with fear and dread is
pregnant with blessings, and the frowp
whose sternness now makes you ,shudder

smile of bewitching sweetness and benig-

equal forces to open difficulties. keep stiff

And stripped its pare celestial white,
With streakings Of the morning light;

She called hor eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
Tae symbol of her chosen land.

To hear the tempest trumpings loud,
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors ofthe storm,
And rellsthe thunder-drum of Heaven

To guard the banner oftho free;
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
So ward away the battle stroke;
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud ofwar,

ADJUSTMENTS IN LONDON. There are

their premises, without including the num-

There was quick ring at the door. My
mother gathered about her the heavy folds
of her shawl, and, turning on me the ap.
pealing glance of her fearful eyes, passed
from the room, even as Hunt Hennesly en-
tered. He knelt at my feet; whispered
pleadingly of the future his care should
