CHRISTIAN SUBMISSION.

Submission said my father, is a very
different thing from insensibility; it never
was intended, Grace, that trials should
be unfelt, for then their end would be un.
attained. No trial for the present seem
eth joyous, but grievous;' and pain, sick
ness. poverty, are in themselves evils. Yet
II we are walking in the way of Gods
commandments, we need fear nothing that
shall meet us. not even the passing pain;
for with it God may give such views of sthe
rest that remaineth, that all intervening
labor and WEAKNESS shall seem but as q
sweet preparation One must have
strong faith for that said Mrs. Howard,
with q half sigh. Yes, and strong love.
De you remember the account given of q
lady, who, when she was about to submit
TO . dreadful operation, gave to one Of
the physicians the last letter which had
come from her husband, asking him to
hold it before her; and with eyes fixed
upon the open. psge and love traced
characters, she unmurmuring, unfainting,
wsnt through the whole so let . men
hsep eye and heart fixed npon the word oi
Christ. AS my Father hath loved me,
sohavs I loved you, and Lol I am with
ron always, even unto the end of the
xorld;' and they will gild even the deep.

SOME LYING.

Davidson College, North Carolina,
contributes good story ofa man with a
very bad habit AS il is all about ly.
ing, the reader may believe it or not as he
likes:
IN. the old North State lives certain
John Long, who draws long bow when.
ever he has anything to tell, and his char.
acter for truth and veracity has been be.
low zero for many years. Captain John.
son had been SO taken in by one Of
John's outrageous stories, that he had
said to him in a pet:
If you make me believe ore of your
lies again for month, I'll give you fifty
dollars
John pretended to be quite hurt by the
offer and went of. A few days afterward
he was riding by the captains post-haste,
on horseback, when the captain called to
him:
say! hellol Long! stop and tell us a
lie or two this morningl'
John rode on, but cried ont most dole
fully:
No time for lying now; brother Jim.
my has just been killed in the machine,
and I'm going for the old folks
On he went.
Captain johnson ordered his horse
snd rode over to see the dead man and
offer bis services, but found him alive and
well, ginning cotton, and in no danger o1
the machine.
Just then John rode up and demanded
the fifty dollars. The Captain declared
it vas rascally trick, but he would have
had to pay the money if John had no,
let him Off.

Useful Recelpes,

To MAKE THE HAIR CURL. AT any time
you'may make your hair curl easily by rub
bling It withsbeaten yelk of an egg, washed
of afterward With clear water, and then put
ting on little pounatum before you put
up your curls, it is well always to go
through this process when you change to
curls, after having worn your hair plain.
To PREVENT THE HAIR FROM FAIL
LING OUT.-One of the most eficacious
methods of preventing the hair falling out,
is to moisten it occasionally with little
fresh strong beer. 1t also keeps the hair
in curl. When first used, it is apt to
render the hair dry, but small quantity
of bears oil will remove this objection.
70 CLEAN HAIR BRUSHES. Clean
your head brushes by washing them tho
roughly with bit of soft sponge tied on
the end of stick, and dipped into q
warm solution of pearlash, prepared by
dissolv;ng a tablespoonful of pearlash in
q pint of boiling water When the 5ris.
ties have thus been made quite clean,
rinse the brushes in clear hot water, leav-
ing them in till the water gets cold AT.
terward drain and wipe the brushes with
q clean cloth, and set them upright before
the fire to day.
To BLAcKEN THE EYE-LAsHEs. The
simplest preparations for this purpose, are
the juice of elder-berries, busnt cork and
cloves burnt at the candle, Another
means is, to take the black of franklin
cense, resin and mastic. This black will
rot come off with perspiration.
To RESTORE CRAPE.-When drop of
water falls on black Grape vail or collar
it leaves q conspicuous white mark. To
obliterate this, spread the Grape on the ta.
BILE, dying on il large book or paper
weight to keep it steady and place un.
derneath the stain q piece of old black
silk; with large camel hair-brush dipped
in common ink to 60 over the stain; and
then wipe of the ink with bit of old silk
1t will dry Immediately, and the white
mark will be seen no more,
To REMOVE STAINS FROM THE HANDS -
A few drops oil vitriol (sulphuric acid)
in water will take the stains of fruit, dark
dyes, stove blacking, &C., from the hands,
without injuring them. Care must, how
ever, be taken not to drop it upon the
clothes. 1t will remove the color from
wooden, and eat holes in cotton fabrics.

LIEUTENANT LUFF.

All you that are too fond Of wine,
Or any other stuff,
Nke warning by the dismal fate
OF one lieutenant Luff.
Assober man he might have been,
Except in one regard;
He did not like soft ,cater
So he took to drinking hard.
Said he, Let other fancy slops,
And talk in praise of tea,
But l am no Bohemian,
So do not like Bohea.
If wines poison, so is tea
But in another shape
What matter whether one is killed
BY canister OF grape?'
According to this kind of taste
He still iudulged his drouth,
And being fond Of port he made
A port-hole of his mouth.
A pint he easy might have slipped,
And not been out of sorts;
In geologic phrase the rock
He split upon was quartz.
