To Make Hard Water Soft.

AS our Yankee women cannot wash
with hard water and do justice to fine
linen, allow me to give simple and easy
way to make it soft on short notice, which
will be of much value to many in dry
time:
While the water is heating, take two
quarts of wheat bran, put 1t into bag
and place it in the boiler of water, and
when hot enough to use, it will be soft.
This is enough for a common washing.
Or you can use soda, few ounces of
which will give whiteness to the fabric,
without the slightest injury, and will not
affect the hands.
Or, in my opinion, bolax probably the
best neutralizer used to soften water 1t
is better than soda or any other alkili yet
known. 1t takes half teacupful 10 ten
or twelve gallons of boiling water, and
will save nearly one-half in soap. An
extra quality of this powder is used for
ladies' cambrics, &c.
Borax being neutral salt, it does not
injure the texture of the llnen its effect is
to soften the hardest water, and is excel
lent to clean heir, and therefore it should
be on every toilet table. Hard water will
not make good tea. Soft water is essen
tial. All water can be made soft by using
a teaspoonful of borax powders to tea
kettle of water in which it should boil
1t will save much in quantity-say one
fifth of tea.

THE MOUNTAIN OF FAME.
BY ALMENA C..sANDERs.

The most lofty Mountain of which we are told,
Is one that has no geographical name,
Or tangible boundary; and 1t is called,
BY doggerel spnners, the Mountain of Fame.
As soon as n school-boy looks into book
OF Latin, he registers forthwith his name
As one of the company who is to toll, Fame
With Laurel-wreathed brow, up 1.-THE Mountain OF
Some being too indoIent upward to climb,
They charter pony, "Pcsasus," by name,
To carry them safely across the steep rocks,
That hang, like frown, on the Mountain of Fame.
And moonlight, and drops melodously chime,
To urge on the pony, half famished and lame;
But the rider grows weary-he's still at the base
OF that great delusion, the Mountain of Fame.
Young Arthur Augustus is deeply impressed
That his rhymes and eratons must " in him name;
And he mounts the poor pony and then gallops of,
AT II furious pace, up the Mountain of Fame.
Most trutorous creature: it suddenly halts,
And ere the gay rider once dreams Of the game,
He is hanging impaled, on the poiut of crag,
And is food for the birds 'round the Mountain of
Fame.
Each L. L. d. as he traces the names
OF law consultations, that glitter so high,
Resembling those suns, at such distance immense,
They can never be seen by the unaided eye;--
Sees yet blue space for r'ore brilliant star
place to be gilded and lit by his name
And this eternal rb, to be only placed there
By scaling the nights of the Mountain of Fame.
And d. D.'s,and NJ. DIS, and all other DIS,
Are led by these greatest imposters l. DIS, deas
And are all rushing on, each one to obtain
The lOftiest hight OH the Mountain of Fame.
But, alas like that mirage that drew man on
BY the promise of wealth, of rich purses of gold,
Till their pockets were drained, and they Weakened
at last,
To the fact, most unpleasng, that they had been
''sold.'
So. many Of those who weave adjective wreaths,
or "crystal, and sapphire, and loudly declaim,
VIII return to some plain path of duty, to sigh
For the vain effort made for the Mountain of Fame.
The earnest, the right, is the only true path
Up which we should travel, this summit to gain;
Then the flowers of usefulness swectly will bloom,
Where our footsteps have been, on the Mountain
of Fame.

I HE GA NJ BLER'S FATE.
BY GEORGE ARRIVAL.

The literary man is compelled by the
requirements of his profession, to associ-
aLe with all sorts Of characters, and TO
visit all sorts of places. The artist, who
only draws the external part of his subject,
can find in the street, in the court-room OF
in the theater, an abundance of food fol
his pencil But the writer, who must
draw the cfaructers and emotions of his
Parsonage, as well as their personal ap-
pearance, has to seek them in all places
where their feelings and idiosyncracies are
exhibited in the strongest light.
In compliance with this professional de-
mand, once sought entrance to one OF
the largest and handsomest gaming houses
in New York. 1t is matter of no small
difficulty to obtain admission to such
places, unless one is unsopbsticated, and
has plenty of money. The knowing
ones" are the very ones who cannot get
in, and, paradoxical as it seems, the more
verdant man is, the more likely he is to
have the doors opened to him.
For week or ten days, then, I kept my
eyes open for chance to visit the house
in question, but without avail, until one
night, when l found young man very
drunk, lying on the pavement in Broad
way. He was well dressed, wore dia-
monds, and would have been robbed,
doubtless, in very few minutes. had l
not come upon him just after he fell, and
taken HIM under my protection. | called
a carriage, placed him in it, and aroused
him sufficiently to learn his address,
Then, bidding the hackman drive to his
lodgings, accompanied him home, and
by pouring cold water upon his head,
sobered him enough TO enable him to get
to bed. .-a..
He thanked me sincerely for my assist
ance, and | left him, promising to call
around and see him soon, in compliance
with his pressing invitation.
Of course, | thought no more about it
for several days, but one evening, while
taking a "night-cap" at Florence's, I saw
him standing near me talking with several
of the sporting men who frequent that sa-
loon. He recognized me--came to me
and shook hands-insisted on my drinking
with him, and introduced me to his
friends.
Here is my chance. evidently. This
young fellow was inclined to do me any ia
vor in his power, and be was just the sort
Of man to give me the "Open sesame" to
the great gambling-house L, desired to
visit.
I tried it. and found that my expecta-
lions were not too sanguine. My new ac
luaintance was the brother-in- law Of the
Of the house-I could not have
come across a better man-and ere | par
ed with him, he had promised to come to
my rooms the next night, and to escort
ne to the temple of forlune-and fate.
The following evening he kept his en-
and we walked up Broadway
ogether, to large and imposing house,
whose door and windows seemed hermet-
cally sealed, and dark as the grave. My
,haperon rang the bell, and the door was
opened at once by negro-intelligent of
ace and neat of attire.
AS soon as he recognized my compan-
on he opened the inner door, and we
PASSED in, to suit of two spacious and
legant pallors. In the front room long

SHOOTING CATERP1LLARs.-E. F. Sture,
of Georgiaville, R. L., thinks the easiest,
quickest, s,gest way to get the caterpil-
lars off the trees is to sh OF them. Use
a small charge of powder without wad
ding, holding the muzzle of the gun close
to the nest; blaze away, and the worms
will be annihilated, while the most tender
twigs will not be injured. He says. "I
have practiced it several years with COM
2lete success" all Of which we are ready
to believe, having often done the same
thing.
