A BIG SToRY.-An old gentleman

one day to several which rather taxed
his credulity, boosted that he himself

half mile from my house-when at

of rain descending at a distance, and
rapidly approaching the place where

Deternined-if possible-to escape
the storm, l instantly leaped into my
wagon, and started my team towards
home. BY constant application Of the
whip to my horses, l barely escaped
being overtaken by the rapidly ap-
preaching torrent. But sotremendous-
ly did it pour down that my little dog
who was close behind me, actually had

poor portion of Georgia, noticed a

it was to keep affection in the family.

To IGNITE DAMP MATCHEs.-A
damp match will light rapidly, by first
holding it to the arm or other warm
part of the body for few seconds,
until it attracts small amount of heat,
then rubbing it gently on a WOODEN
cloth of close texture, such as doe-skin,
or what is commonly used for panta-
looms. It Will ignite, even if the COM
position is almost as soft as putty
Wooden cloth is the best to use in
that case, as it causes little friction,

MIXTURE FOR WASHING CLOTHES

MIXTURE FOR WASHING CLOTHES
In Berlin, Prussia, the washer-women
use mixture Of two ounces of tur-
pentine and quarter of an ounce Of
spirits Of sal ammoniac, well mixed to-
gether. The mixture is put into a
bucket Of warm water, in which hall
pound of soap has Been dissolved
In this mixture the dirty clothes are
immersed during the night, and the
next day washed.
The most dirty cloth is perfectly
freed of all dirt, and after two rinsings
in fresh water, the cloth has not the
least smell of turpentine. The cloth
does not require so much rubbing, and
fine linen is much longer preserved
by it.

Cant phrases are dangerous, espe-

Cure FOR RHEUMATIsM-An old lady
of our acquaintance, who has cured
herself and many other persons of
rheumatic pains by very simple pro-
cess, furnishes us with the following
remedy, which we lay before our read
ers, that those who desire to do so
may tryi If it does no good it costs
but little, and can do no harm:-"Take
a handful Of poke root and half pint
of tar, stew them together for half an
hour, then spread the pitch on piece
of sheepskin, and when cold, apply it
on the bottoms of the feet, and there
let it remain day or two, by which
time the rheumatic pains viii have
disappeared"
