TIE ECONOMICAL LANDLADY.-One day
when butter was scarce and high, Mrs. Wig
gins hit upon the economical plan of spreading
with her own economical hands the butter
upon the allowance of bread she doled out to
her boarders merely to save trouble. Mr. Jof-
don came home to tea rather late on the frsc
evening of this new dodge, sat down in the pres
ence of all the other boardcrs. and received
slice from Mrs. Virgins. who had gone
through the ceremony of buttering it before
his eyes. Mr.. Jordon eyed the bread inquis
itively. and, began to turn it from side to
side, and scrutinized it closely through his
spectacles What is the matter with your
bread and butter demanded Mrs. Virgins.
'sNothing nothing nothing" said MrJo.-
dan, still turning the piece over. and persist
ing in his scrunity. Il am positive, Mr.
Joidon that you do see something" Now
I want" said Mrs. Wiggins, her face becom-
| ing flushed with excitement, Il want my
boarders to tell me right out when their vittles
doesn't suit! Now, Nr, Jordon what is it :"
Mr.. Jordon laid down the slice upon his
plate, raised his spectacles to his forehead,
and replied, with great deliberation: ''Mrs.
Virgins, there is nothing the matter with the
bread. 1 assure you; but Mrs. Wiggins," !"
and here Jordon glanced mischie voulsy down
the vista of attentive faces: Il have lived in
this world eight and forty years, and 1 find
wysclf this evening such simpleton, that
| can't for the life of me tell which side Of my
| bread is buItered ~

To CLEANSE FEATHER BEDs.-RubI them
over with a stiff brush, dipped in hot soap
suds. When clean, lay them on a shed or
any other clean place, where the rain will
fall on them. When thoroughly soaked, let
them dry in hot sun for six or seven sue
cessive days, shaking them up we'll and turn
ing them over each day. They should be
covered over with thick cloth during the
night; ifexposed TO the night air they will
become damp and mildew.

FROM THE HOME JOURNAL.
j EANIE MORRIS SON,

The chicago Journal reminds us that. more
chan forty years ago, there came to school at
Edingburg girl, Jeanie Morrison by name, and
became classnnote of William Motberwcll. The
sweet expression of her gentle eyes won the poets
heart, and SO he gave in her changeless girlhood
to the years to come, set in the amber in his song
Did the brown haired girl, in blue petsse. be-
meath whose plumed coquettish beaver smiled SO
fair Scottish face, dream, as she tripped her
way to school, that We to-day, in this grand re-
cess of the New Worlds breast should know
her name and story2 That the lad Willie should
take her with him, on to Immortality Though
he has been twenty years sleeping in a nameess
grave, he has bequeathed the girl lie loved, and
who inspired one of the sweetest ballads in the
English tongue, legacy to TIAE. She is wild
ow now, and bears another name, and years have
left forgotten SHOWS upon her brow, no doubt );
but if she read this without an old fashioned
throb, then has she lived too long
Q dear, dear, JEANNE Morrison,
The thocts o'byganc years
Still fling their shadows over my path,
And blind my cen VII tears,
And sair and sick pine,
As memory idly summons up
The blithe blinks o lang syne.
Twas then we luvit ilk ither weel,
Twas then We twa did par;
Sweet time-sad time, twa BARNS at schule,
Twa BARNS and but ca heart!
Twas then we sat on ae aigh blink,
To leir ilk ither lear
And tones and looks and smiles were shed,
Remembered evermair
/ wonder, Jeanie, after yet,
When sitting on that blink;
Cheek touchin' cheek, loof locked in loof,
What our wee heads could think,
When bath bent doun over ae braid page,
VII ae bulk on our knee,
Thy looks were on thy lesson, but
Ny lesson was on thee.
\ NY lead rims s-round and round about,
My heart flows like sea,
As ane by ane tie ,hochts rush back
o. schGe time and o. thee,
! O. mornin' lifel o mornin' luve.
O. chtsome days and lang,
| When kinned hopes around our hearts
Like simmer blossoms sprang!
| I marvel, Jeanie Morrison,
Gin / hae been to thee
As closely twined wi. earlist thocts,
! as We hae been to me2
o tell me gin their music fills
Thine ear IS it does mine!
o say gin Ger your heart grows grit
! WI dreamings O. lang syne?
I've wandered east, I've wandered west
I've borne weary lot;
But in my wanderings, far or near,
Ye never were forgot.
The fount that first burst frae this heart
Still travels on its way;
| and channels deeper as it rims,
The luve of life's young day.
o dear, dear JEANNE Morrison,
Since we were sndered young,
I've never seen your face Ror heard
| The music o. your tongue;
But could hug all wretchedness,
And happy could dee,
Did but ken your heart still dreamed
o. bygane days and me!
Such are the ballads that go murmuring like
songful brook along the years the music of heart
| that death could not make dumb
