warmth Of its feelings. The admiration Of
each for the wisdom, abilities, and purity OF
the other was unlimited. Their habit OF re-

their esteem.
In speaking of the calumnies his enemies
had uttered against his public and private
character, with such unmitigated and untir.
ing bitterness, he said he had not considered
them Us abusing him they had never known
him. They had created an imaginary being
clothed with odious attributes 10 whom
they had given his name and it was against
that creature Of their imaginations they had
leveled their anathemas.
On Monday, the Sd of July, his slumbers
were evidently those Of approaching dissolu-
ton; he slept until evening, when upon
awakiDg, he seemed TO imagine it was
morning, and remarked that he had slept all
night without being disturbed--"This is the
fourth Of July" He soon sunk into sleep,
and on being aroused at 9, to take his medi.
cine, he remarked in clear and distinct
voice, "No, Doctor, nothing more" The
omission of the dose Of laudanum admins
tered every night during his illness, caused

with u strong and clear voice, perfectly con.

again. About 10 he fixed bis eyes intent

one OF his attached servants, Burwell, oh.

to lie with II very much elevated. Upon
restoring It to its usual position, he seemed

The religious element having entered into

OF the laying OF the Atlantic cable has been
received, and il being claimed 10 some quar-
ters that the discovery Of the telegraph was

tice what may be deemed prophetic vision
of that event. That which we nov sec
realized, the Evangelist may have sen
eighteen hundred years ago On the island Of
Patmos, as in glass, dimly, and the follow
ing prophetic words may, without much
straining, be applied TO the great wonder Of
the age

ITEMS FOR HOUsEKEEPERs.
Effect of Heat upon Meat.

Profe. sor Johnston, in his "Chemistry of
Common Life" says that a well cooked piece
Of meat should be full of its own Juice, or
natural gravy. In roasting, tlNrcore, it
should be exposed to a quick fire. that the
external surface may be made to contract at
once, and the albumen to coaguate, before
the juice has had time to escape from within.
The same observations apply to boiling; when
piece Of beef or mutton is plunged into
boiling water the outer part contracts, the
albumen which is near the surface coagua,es,
and the internal juice is prevented either
from escaping into the water by which it is
surrounded, or from being diluted or weak
ened by the admission of water among it.
When cut up, therefore, the meat yields
much gravy, and is rich in flavor. Hence a
beefsteak or mutton chop is done quickly,
and over quick fire, that the natural juices
may be retained. On tie other hand, if the
meat be done over a slow fire its pores re-
main open, the juice continues to flow from
within as it has dried from the surface, and
the flesh pines and becomes dry, hard, and
unsavorv. Or, if it be put in cold and tepid
water, which is afterwards brought to a boil,
much of the albumen is extracted before il
coagulates, the natural juices for the most
part flow out, and the meat served is in a
nearly tasteess state. Hence to prepare
good boiled meat it should at once be put
into water already brought to boil But TO
make beef tea mutton broth, and other meat
soups, the flesh should be put into cold wa
ter already brought to boil. But to make
beef tea, mutton broth, and other meat soups
the flesh should be put into cold water, and
this afterwards very slowly warmed, and final
ly boiled The advantage derived from sim
merlng-a term not unfrequent in cookery
books-deppnds very much Upon the effects
of slow boiling, as above explained.

Disinfecting Agent.

Common copperas, is perhaps ore of the
most efficient and economical disinfecting
agents known. If two pounds of copperas
be dissolved in ten quarts OF boiling water
and the solution poured into cutters, sinks,
cess pools and other places where filth ne
cessarily arcunulates, lis deodorising power
will become speedily and convincing Iy ap-
parent.
Another article of great efficiency is found
by shaking quick lime to ihick plastic,
mush consistence, with water saturated with
salt. This is what may be properly called
domestic chloride of lime, being in every
respec; similar to, if not strictly i1entic with,
the chloride Of lime found at the shops. al
though it comes at less than one-twentieth
tie cost.
