THE STRANGER.

THE STRANGER.
Speak kindly of the stranger now.
Name not his faults anew,
What'er hi weakness, even thou
May need forbcarance too.
Remember that he died a'one,
Cheercd by no kind, or loving tone.
He may be all that GOODNESS eer deemed
That malice ever thought,
Yet should remembrance now at least,
With PHYS glow be fraught,
For when they toled his funeral knell
From kindred eyes, no tear drop fell
There is home, happy home.
Most lonely yet TO be,
And tender eyes, which ever watch
The wandering one To sec.
And there are loving hearts 10 break.
For him whose slumbers nought can wake
A motler nurscd him on hcr breast
With looks of fearful joy.
Young sisters gazed upon his face
A bright and happy boy.
Think We, from such devoted hearts,
Loves trusting faith could e'er depart?
Years may have flown in changcfnl strife,
The world might deem him changed,
Yet ne'cr. oh ne'er in death or life
Those hearts could be eStranged
For love, true love lives on the same,
1t knows not change, it knows not blame.
oh think of this, and Ger him now,
Name not his faults anew,
What'er his weakness even thou.
May'st need forbearance too
And in another's voc forget
What 'er of scorn there fingers vet.

How TO Treat TERMINATING WHEAT
Prof Nickcls has directed the attention of
the Agricultural Society OF Nancy, France,
to very simple process Of treating ger
minating wheat, so as TO make it ut for
use in bread. On account of the heavy
rains in many parts of France last autumn,
the harvest WAS gathered in a damp state,
and much of the wheat sermiuated, so as
to he unfit for Use. This attracted the
serious attention of Mr.. Nickles, who i'm
mediately magic some experiments. with
view to find out some cheap and efficient
mode Of removing it; and he succeeded
in obtaining very satisfactory results, SIM
ply by the use of salt The two principal
ingredients of wheat are starch and gluten,
and both of which are inso,uble in water,
but become soluble after termination
Thus the starch becomes dextrine the
gluten loses the elasticity necessary 10
make good dough and the bread made
from it is heavy, indigestible, and un-
wholesome BY the addition of salt, how
ever the gluten Is restored to its natural
state of insolubili,y. and becomes fit for
making good bread NJ. Nickies found
that a mixture of about ! OF of salt and Is
lbs. of flour from terminated wheat yield,
ed about l. los of excellent bread About
81 lbs of salt, worth l4d., will be sufficient
for 100 lbs. of -four, producing l43 lbs. OF
bread London Builder. .-..... --..-..
