lowing rules for forming a jugdmerlt OF
-four, when purchasing for use, can
doubtless, be relied upon, and may be
worth recollecting by housekeepers.
First, look at the color; if it is white,

with BLUSH cast, or with black specks
in it, refuse it. Second, examine its
adhesiveness; wet and knead little

soft, and is sticky, it is poor. Flour
from spring wheat is likely to be sticky

The Box Lounge...A Country Romance.
Concluded.

Had witch upon her broomstick
fallen before him our Jacobs could not
have looked more astonished. Fanny
could cry with vexation and shame;
but Uncle Joshua took her like baby
in his arms, put her over into the next
stall, whence she could escape into the
house, and went on telling of his off OK
as if nothing had happened.
At tea Mr.. Jacobs wondered if that
graceful little figure presiding at the
table was the same which had come
down upon him with such a rush, as he
termed it, out in the barn. Unfortu-
nately, for Fanny, she had a face which
once seen is never forgotten; and
though she had combed her hair differ
emily and changed her dress and decked
her hair with daises, Mr.. Jacobs made
up his mind that it was the same head
which he had seen decked in dust and
hay seed little while before.
"Never mind," thought Fanny, "I'll
disguise myself in new dress to-mor-
row, I'll finish that blue silk which
father brought me from New Y ork, and
then he'll be sure I'm not that dusty
little wretch he saw out in the barn."
With heightened color, she talked to
Mr.. Jacobs, and the evening slipped
away SO delightfully."-, that the young
man retired with the firm conviction
that country air was already doing him
much good.
The next forenoon, when the house
was quiet, and Fanny imagined that
Mr.. Jacobs was out in the fields with
her father, she took out her blue silk
dress, and commenced sewing upon it.
Hard as she tried to keep up her indig-
nation for Nathan's quiet desertion, her
heart would swell and soften in spite
of herself, and the blue silk dress
would have been ruined, if salt
water could have spotted it. Finally,
she threw aside her morning wrapper,
and tried on the new waist to see how
it would fit, for Fanny was her own
dressmaker. Uncle Joshua's house
had no superfuous furniture, and the
only mirror it contained hung in the
parlor down stairs. Fanny though,
| she would run down while no one was
about, and see how her dress looked
She certainly looked very sweetly, with
her bare neck and arms swelling out
, from the unfinished waist, and her white
skirt contrasting with the rich blue silk
She walked into the curtained parlor
turned herself around and around be-
fore the glass, and well pleased with
. the figure she saw reflected there, she

Our Childhood.
BY GEO. D. PRENTICE.

IT'S sad-yet sweet-to listen
To the soft winds gentle swell
And think we hear the music
Our childhood knew so we'll;
To gaze out on the even
And the boundless fields of air,
And feel again our boyish wish
To roam like angels therel
There are many dreams of gladness
That cling around the past
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come throbbing fast
The forms we love so dearly,
In the happy day now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and lovely maidens
Who seems so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such a world as this
Whose soft dark eyes seemed swimming
In a sea of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold are streaming
O'er brows so sunny bright,
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring-time of the year
Like the changeful CLEANS of April,
They followed every tear!
They have passed-ike hope-away-
All their loneliness has fed
Oh! many heart is mourning
That they are with the dead.
And yet-the thought is saddening
To muse on such as they
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away
That the fair enes whom we leave,
Grew to each loving breast,
Like tendrels of the clinging vine,
Then perish where they rest.
Aud can we but think of these
In the soft and gentle Spring,
When the trees are waving o'er us,
And the flowers are blossoming!
For we know that Winters coming
With his cold and stormy sky
And the glorious beauty round US,
Is blossoming but to die!

Another Deed of Blood in Cincinaatti.

A most horrible murder was committed in this
city last evening, between the hours Of seven and
eight o'clock, Mt brick building on the south side
Of Front street, between Broadway and Ludlow.
An Irishman named Patric McIlugh, without any
provocaton whatever, deliberately cut his wiie's
throat with razor, and SO deep and determined
was the wound. that the woman's head was nearly
severed from her body. The particulars of this
most inhuman and trag ical affair were furnish
ed our reporter 10y eye witness OF tho whole
transaction, from whom we gather tho following
particular:
Yesterday afternoon, the deceased visited the
above premises for the purpose of administering
TO the wants Of m invalid acquaintance. She re.
mnincd there until after nght-lall, when hor hus-
band called after her for the purpose as he said
of cscorting her home. His wife, with female
were chatting socially together when tho husband
entered the room, and drawing up chair, hc min
gled in the conversation with them. Probably
half an hour elapsed. and he proposed that they
should go. The three raised from their seats to-
gether. and while the wife hunting for her
bonnet,he suddenly grasped her around the waist
and pulling from his pocket razor, be drew in
an instant across her throat. Tho wound common
ces at the front medium line and encircles more
than three fourths Of the neck, severing the jUgu
lar veins and carotrid artery. His wife staggered
for q second after she had been wounded, and cri

then putting shawl up to her throat, she momen-
tarily sauncbcd the floor of blood and CROPPED hcr
