DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

To DRIVE AWAY RATs-A few drops oil
creosote on brown paper, put in the holes OF
rats, drive them away. Nux vomicu
and oat meal is sure poison.
CuUENING.-In churning butter, if. small
granules o! butter appear, which do not "gath.
er," throw in lump of tutter, and it will
form a nucleus, and The butter will "come."
SOLVENT FOR OLD PUTTY.-When it is
necessary to remove glass from the old sash,
take common pencil brush, dip it in nitric
or muratic acid, and draw it over the putty
tw or three times. This will speedily destroy
the cohesion Of the putty, and enable you to
remove the glass without the assistance of
chises or any o.her sharp edgeG tool.
EXTRACT OF PEACH BLossoM.-Take of
pure balsam Of peru, one anda half pounds,
and like quality Of the essence of bitter
almonds, rectifed ePirits Of vino, throo
pints; spirits of orange flowers, one pint;
spirits of jessamine, one-fourth of a pint.
Macerate. This mixture is very odorous.
-GermaRtOwn Tel.
Gloss ON LINEN--To restore the gloss
commonly observed on newly purchased
collars and shirt bosoms, add spoonful Of
gum.arabic water to a pint OF starch, as usu-
ally made for this purpose. Two ounces of
clear gum.arabic may be Dissolved in pint
of water, and after standing over night, may
be racked off and kept in abotte ready for

MISCELLANEOUS,
BEN BOLT AND SWEET ALICE,

1.-THE following is an attempt, by an IN.
known wPiter, to embody, in brief story
the sentiment Of that exquisite song o
Thomas Dun English, "Ben Bolt" 1t is very
fine for such an attempt, as such things gen.
orally fall very short of being worthy of their
inspiration. This does moi. .... ...l .
"Oh, don't yousremember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt1
Sweet Alice, whose h, ir was so brown;
Who bushed with delight when you gave her q
smile,
And trembled with fear at your frown'
In the old church-yard In the valley, Ben Bolt,
In corner, secluded and alone,
They have fitted slab of granite SO gray,
And Alice lies under the stone"
A 'tE r... ENGLISH.
4. "Don't you remember!" Are those three
magic words-a key wi erewith we may un-
lock the ffoodgates of the heart, and send the
sweet waters tf the past over the plains and
down the hills Of that fair land known in our
heart-experience as by-gohe! Even so.-
There rise before us visions Of time when
the bright, deep eyes of the young spring
gazed shyly at us from beneath the ermined
mantle OF winter-when the blue vio,ets
stole their first tint from the blue sky above;
when the cowslips Of sunny May, and the
golden-hearted bu.tercups first jewelled the
slender blades of grass; aud the hawthorn
grew white with its blossoms; when we
roamed the woods the whole of that long,
warm, loveable June holiday, wearing gar
lands and listening to the concert of birds
in that dark, mistleto-wreathed, oaken forest.
There was one, in years gone, that prayed:
"Lord, keep, my memory greeBS" and the
clinging tendris of our hearts 60 ever back
yearningy to this prayer. h'.. n
But green and fresh as the poets PRAYER,
had the heart of Ben Bolt been kept. From
his eOrIy boyhood to the hour he sat by his
old friend, aud listened to the song of bygone
days. Not "through glass, darkly," did he
review those scenes OF the past, but it was
the gong back Of the 6oy-heart to others OF
childhood. 'if- s'N " a#.
There was the little old red school-house
with it's dusty windows, and desks that had
been nicked many time, trying pen-knives;
its tall, stern7ooking teacher, whose heavy
voice caused the younger ones to tremble;
its rows Of boys and girls with their heads
bent attentively downward to their books and
states. The wild winter wind sang and whstl-
cd without, and some few childish hearts tried
to find words for its mournful notes; they
were too young and happy to know that it
carried Gesolation and heart.ache in its wall,
yet did they learn it in after days. ...
Then there came n few light, round snow-
balls, so tiny that 1t must have been the sport
of the snow spirits in their eldrich reves
changing, by end by, to feO,hery flakes that

OF his own youthful years;
Or reads some fav'rite volume,
To eager, listening ears.

And thus the hours fly swiftly,
In calm enjoyment passd,
