Fires in Bedrooms.

Most people, says DR.. Lewis, even
many iutellig gent reformcrs, have the idea
that to sleep in a cold room is good
essential to health. 1t is an error. 1t
is better to have an open fire in your
bedroom. The atmosphere is not only
by this means constantly changed, but
with the fire you will keep the window
open, which will add greatly to tho need
ed ventilation. But more than this,
with the FIRE you will have fewer bed
clothes over you, which is q gain, as. a
large number of blankets not only inter.
teres somewhat with the circulation aud
respiration, but prevents the escape OF
those gasses which the skin is constantly
emitting. Even furnace or stove heat
with open window is better than close,
cold room. Interchange with the exter'
nal atmosphere depends upon the dit.
ference between the temperature of the
air within and without. But let US have
the open FIRE. Let us 80 without silks,
broadcloths, carpets, and 'fnery OF oil
kinds, if necessary, that we may have
this purifier and diffuser of joy in all our
houses. In my own house / have ten
open CRATES, and fud, with coal at eleven
dollars, the expense is frightful, and if 1t
were in any other. department. Of house.
keeping I should feel I could not afford
it; but in this do not finch, so impor-
taut do I deem the open fire. .... ..

OUR ANN.
DY MRS. +. ,. GAGE.

Her lips arc like the cherries,
In the merry month Of juno,
When the cat-bird in the trce-top
Sings his saucy mocking tune;
And her checks with roses blushing,
Despite tho summers tan,
For she fears not wind or sunshine,
Our bonny, winsone Ann.
Her hand is kind and steady,
Her shoulders broad and strong;
Her heart is warm and ready,
Her patience true and long,
She never faints or falters,
But strives the best she can,
To fill her round Of duty,
Our pleasant, cheerful Ann.
One Of Scotia's 'bonny lasses,'
She came across the sea,
To seek better fortune,
In the country of the free.
To earn an honest living,
BY hcr labor, is her plan;
Worth q host Of fashionablcs,
Is our healthy, willing Ann.
When the washing lies before me,
All things spread in row,
Just glistening from the iron,
White rs the falling snow;.
When l cat her bread delicious,
think never can
Repay the faithful kindness
OF Cur cvcr-faithful Ann.
But, alas! VIC cannot keep her,
There's another loves her more
Than we, who's come to find her.
All the way from Scotland shorei
And though strive to win her,
Still she smiles upon the man
Nay his heart be true rs hers is,
Is my prayer for our good Ann.

Inauguration of President Lincoln

"The inauguration Of President Lin:

me from, being, present nt. the event, and
others distinctly threate ning assassinIa:.
