smallest drop OF strong acetic acid, taking
care that tile ncid dose not run off tho
w"rt upon tho neigLboring skin, for if it
dose, it will occasion inflammation and
much pain. II this practice be continued
once or twice daily, with regularity, paring
the surlace Of the wart occasionally, when
it gets hard and dry, tho wart may be soon
effcctualy cured.
To Take Grease out Of Car7ets.-Scrape
and pound together in equal proportions
magnesa in the lump, and fullers' earth
having mixed these substances, pour on
them sufficient quantity of boiling water
to make into apaste; lay this paste as
hot as possible upon the grease spots in the
carpe. and let it dry. Next day, when the
composition is quite dry, brush it OF, and
the grease spots will have disappeared.
To Preserve Eygs.-Put into tub or
pan one bushel of quick lime, two pounds
and half of SALT and pound of cream
OF tarter. Mix the same together with as
much water as will reduce tho composi,ion
to that consIstence as to cause an egg to
swim with its top just above the LIQUID.
Then put and keep the eggs therein, which
will preserve them perfectly sound at least
two years.
To Rcmore Grease from the Collar of q
Coat.-Obtain little spirits of ammonia,
mix it in pint of cold water then we'll
sponge the collar or other parts until the
grease disappears. which it will quickly do.
Or, dip soft flannel in spirits of turpen-
tine, and rub the greasy part with it.
To Remoce Afoles from the ,Sk;n.-
Lennon juice rubbed on the moles will
often greatly diminish, If not entirely elface
them.
OrcAard.-Nolhing is more detrimental
to young orchard than to SOW in small
grain of any kind, particularly oats. The
best crop to be grown in an orchard is po-
tatoes; vi, for |. rotrton, corn, buckwhcat
or vines. When the orchard is eight or
ten years old, SOW clover, and mulch around
the trees. The mass Of our fruit trees lean
northeast. Wnen the trees are small and
set, guard against this by setting stakes and
fastening the trees, leaning them to the
southwest; rope Of oak straw is good to
tie them with.-Proirie Farmer.
Looking G"ilty.-Notl,ing can be more
absurd than the idea that " looking guilty"
proves guilt. An honest man charged with
crime is much more likely to blush at the
accusation than the real offender who is
generally prepared for tho event, and has
his face "ready made" for the occasion.-
The very thought Of being suspected of
anything criminal will bring tho blood to
an innocent mans cheek in nine cases out
of ten. The most "guilty looking" person
we ever saw was man arrested for stea.
ing horse, which turned out to be his own
property.--Boston Post.

1t is glorious sight to see two old peo-
pie, who have weathcrcd the storms and
baskcd in the sunshine of life together, 60
hand in hand lovingly and tboughtfully to-
gether down the gentle dcclivity of time,
with no anger, nor jealousy, nor hatred,
garncred up against each other, and looking
with hope and joy to the everlasting youth
of heaven, where they two shall be one
forever. That is true marriage, for it is
marriage of spirit with spirit. Their love
is woven into woof Of gold, that neither
time, nor death, nor eternity can sever.

There is just as much intemperance in
drinking physic as drinking anything else.
1t is great pity there is no Maine Liquor
Law for medicine! The first time a quack
feels your pulse may be an accident, but
the second time should be repulse. No
man ruins his health without bringing the
consequences down upon himself Like
Samson, he destroys the temple, and
buries himself in the ruins. :

The grand error of life is, we look too
far; we scale the heavcns-we dig down
to the centre Of the earth for systems-and
we forget ourselves. Truth lies before us;
it is in the Highway path, and the plough
man treads on it with cloited shoes.
The heart is cup which is empty till it
overf'ows. We have nothing to enjoy till
we have something to impart. lie only
lives who is not reservoir, but fountain.
If there were no enemy in the world, nor
devil in hell, we carry that within US, that,
if let loose, will trouble us more tnan all
the world beside.
Ignorance and conceit are two of the
worst qualities to combat. 1t is easier to
dispute with statesman than block
head.
