THE HOME MOTHER

Some one writing for the Masonic Mir
ror has drawn pretty picture of home
loving, child-loving mother:
We must draw line, aye, broad
line, between her and the frivolous but
terfy of fashion, who firts from ball to
opera and party, decked in rich robes,
and followed by train as heartless as
herself-she, who, forgetful of the holy
task assigned her, neglecting those who
have been given in her charge, and leav-
ing them to the care of hirelings, while
she pursues her giddy round of amuse-
ments. Not so with our home mother,
blessings be on her head. The heart
warns to see her in her daily outline of
pleasant duties.
How pleasant she sits day after day
shaping and sewing some little articles
for use and adornment for her little flock
And how proud and pleased is each little
recipient of her kindness. How the
little faces dimplc with pleasure, anditht
bright eyes grow still brighter, as nam
ma decks them with her own hands il
the new dress she made! How mucl
warmer and more comfortable they fee
if mamma wraps them up before they g
to school No one but her can warm the
mits and oyershees, or the comforters
around their necks
There is a peculiar charm about all she
does, the precious mother. They could
not sleep, nay, for that matter, she could
not, if she failed to visit their chamber
and with her own soft hands arrange then
comfortably before they slept. Her heart
thrills with gratitude to her Creator as
she looks on these sweet, blooming faces,
and when their prayers are done, i'm
prints good night kiss on each rosy
mouth. 1t may be, too, a tear will start
for the little nesting bird in its chill mar
row bed, for whom her maternal care is
no longer needed. 1t sleeps, though the
sleet and snow descend, and the wild
winter bowls around its head. 1t needs
no longer her tender care A mightieI
arm enfolds it, 1t is at rest She feels
and knows that it is right, and bends
mcekly to the hand that sped the shaft,
and turns with warmer love, if it be
possible, to those little ones who are left
to love. How tenderly she guards them
from danger, and with a strong untiring
love, she watches by their bedside when
they are i'll.
Blessings be on the gentle, home
loving mother. Angels will look with
love upon her acts. Her children will
rise up and call her blessed, and the
memory OF her kindly deeds VIII enfold
her as garment.

FOUNTAIN OF BLOOD IN A CAVERN -
Il. G.. Squier's notes on Central Ameri-
ca describe a wonderful enusion of a fluid
resembling blood near the town Of Vitud,
in the State of Honduras. 1t appears
that there is continually oozing and drop
ping from the roof af cavern there a
red liquid, which upon falling coagulates
so as to precisely resemble blood. Like
blood, it corrupts, insects depositc their
lave in it, and dogs and buzzards resort
to the cavern to eat it. Attempts have
several times been made TO obtain some
of this liquid for the purpose of analysis,
but in all cases without success, in con-
sequence of its rapid decomposition,
whereby the bottles containing it were
broken.
The small cavern or grotto during the
day is visited by buzzards and hawks,
and at night by a multitude of vampire
bats, for the purpose Of feeding on the
unnatural blood. It is situated on the
border Of rlvulet, which it keeps red
dened with a small flow of the liquid,
which has the color, taste, and smell of
blood, In approaching the grotto, a dis
agreeable odor is observed, and when it
is reached there may be some pools Of
the apparent blood in state Of coagu-
lation.
The peculiarities of this liquid are
considered due to the rapid generation
in this grotto of some very prolific spe-
cies Of infusoria. The CaliforniaIState
Journal, remarking on the above. OBJ
serves that the estero Of tho town Of
Monterey contains species of blood-rod
infusoria. (the Larvae Of water insects, )
which at certain seasons Of the year smell
precisely like fresh fish, or, on exposure
in vessel, like putrid fish In some
seasons II has been found driedin fakes,
and Of the intense color of vernilion.

TIE BuRDELL MURDER.-A writer in
the New York Times with the signature
of " Lex" and evidently legal gen
tleman, sums up very able and discrim-
mating critique upon the late murder
trial, with the following theory:
1.-THE key to DR.. Burdelfs chamber,
contrary to his usual custom, was left in
the lock outside the door. 1t was diff
cult to approach him stealthily in his
lighted room, for he apparently had ia
ken out his papers for the purpose of
business. In view of the facts, it ap-
pears TO me that the murderer was one
who accompanied him to his room, whose
presence there gave him no alarm, with
whom he was transacting business, and
who, standing by his chair as he sat in
it in front of the secretary, suddenly
struck the first blow, and grasped him
by the throat, when he failed to fall at
once who possibly seized money and
papers (none were found on the doctors
person, and who then CROPPED his way
through the darkencd hall to the outer
door, and thus escaped. The nature of
the wounds and the character of the
struggle tend TO show that the assassin
must have been man Of powerful frame,
and probably taller stature than the vic
tim and these are strong reasons for
surprising that be well knew where !ay
the great arteries, and how to reach the
vital organs"

LEAyITT,S LATEST IMPROVED

Young America Excelsior.

UyHE attention of the Farmers of
Montgomery County, is asked to
his greatly improved MILL for Crushing and
Grinding Corn and Cob Meal-lIorse feed gem
erally-and Meal from SheIled Corn.
It is now well known that all animals are
improved in every respect by the use OF ground
food. because Of its more easy and complete
digestion.
Ii is now we'll known that working animals
for the same reason, are kept in good condition
Mt less cost. by the use of food so prepared.
Put while these principles of true economy are
so generally understood, many have been I'M

two years among such IS the Little Glaht,

In buying the EXCELSIOR MILL this OBJ

that wear out being two detached rings, cast

grinding is done by simply turning one central
set screw The meal instead Of being scattered
4lround as in other mills is brought out at one
spout ana no weight is required on the rearend

Wherever the Yonng America Excelsior has
been introduced it has superseded all others OF
che kind.
This mill will grind from to 90 bushels per
hour, according TO hneness, and the grinding
is light work for two horses.

BUCKEYE CLOTHES WASHER.

Hon. CHAs. MASON, the Commissioner Of
Patents, has very recently said the principle on
which this Washing Machine is constructed,
is the only one for effective and thorough wash
ing of all the hundreds in the Patent Office.
This is high recommendation, but the praises
lavished upon these machines by the tens of
thousand persons using them in Ohio, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania. New York and other Eastern and North
ern States, are ofmuch greater value.
Ten or dozen shirts, or their equivalent in
other clothes, may be washed in from three to
six minutes according othc state Of the clothes
and degree Of preparatory without as much
injury to them rs in the ordinary washing by
hand-a button or hook and eye being rarely
if ever broken oil:-the process being nearer TO
the working by hand than any other. It is
very substantial and duDhble--simple in con-
struction and easy to work, and has attached

TIE PRINTER's DOLLARS. The prin-
ter's dollars! Where are they2 We'll
suppose one of them is in somebody's
pocket in Philadelphia, another is in Bos-
ton, third in New York, a fourth in
Baltimore, while a fifth is resting Sc
curely in some city or town of the West.
A dollar here and adollar there scattered
all over the town, all over the country,
mile upon mile apart; how shall they be
gathered?
The type founder has his hundreds of
dollars against the printer the paper
maker, the building owner, the jour
neyman, the grocer, the tailor, and all
assistants to him in carrying on business,
each have their demands, unfortunately
hardly ever SO small as single dollar
But the mites from here and there must
be diligently gathered in, and very pa.
tiently bearded or the wherewith to dis.
charge the large bills will never become
very bulky. We imagine the printer
will have to get up an address to his
widely scattered, distant dollars, somc
thing like this:
"DolIars, halves, quarters, and all
manner of fractions into which ye are
divided, collect yourselves and come
yourselves, and come home-you are
wanted Combinations Of all sorts Of
men that help the printer to become your
proprietor, gather in such force, and de-
mand with SO good reason your appear
ance at his counter, that nothing short Of
a sight at you will appease them. Col
lect yourselves, for, valuable as you arc
in the aggregate, singly you will never
pay the cost of gathering. Come in
here in silent single file, that the printer
may form you into battallions, and send
you forth again to battle for him and vim
dictate his credit. PIE.
