How, alas the ohangeIess years
Gliding silently away,
With the wrecks of hopes and fears,
Find US changing day by day.
Youth reeeiing, age encroaching,
Pains and cares still multiplied,
Death with hungry eyes approaching,
Pleasures wished, but still denied.
Oh the hollow mookery all
Oh the thirsting to be free
Wishing, dreading much the call
To long eternity
But the years are still the same,
Still the seasons come and go,
Winters frost, and Summers flame,
With a constant oiwaid how.
Yet their end is lowering near,
Ali consuming fires attending,
Waiting but the signal drear
When all time shall have its ending.
Lo the body shall decay,
Time, in flames shall pass away,
Nothing hut the soil shall see
Eternal life, eternity.

How TO OUTwTT THE MoTH-The fol-
lowing has more real virtue in it than any
of the so called scarce aways of the moth
which has yet met our eye. Only he care
ful that there are no moths in the furs when
put away, and it will be impossible for them
to get in if the necessary care is taken. But
to the advice:
Most of our insects arc very hardy, caring
little for wind or weather, and will never
Idle of aromatic pain We once packed
some small skins in the centre of cask of
tobacco leaves and stems, but the miller
went there deposited her eggs and the furs
were ruined. This shows that they are not
at all delicate and care nothing for tobacco.
Expensive cedar closets are frequently con-
structcd with the idea that the rather pleas
ant odor of the cedar is sufficiently disagree
able to the moth to keep her away from arti-
clcs OF clothing deposited there. This is
mistake. The strongest instinct prompts the
miller to seek the means of perpctuating It's
kind, and no trihiug impediment will pre-
vent it. But the preservation Of furs or
articles of clothing is perfectly simple.
heap and easy. Shake them we'll and ticc
them up in II cotton or linen bag, so that
the miller cannot possibly enter, and the
articles will not be injured, though the bag
is hung in woOd-house or garrct. This ia
cheaper than to build cedcr closets, and
better than to fill the bed clothes and gar
ments with the sickening odor of ramphor,
tobacco, or any other drug.

King Christian VIII died on the Goth
January, 1913, and the same day his son
assembled the throne Us Frederick VII. One
Of his first acts was TO elevate Louise Ras-
mussen to the rank of Baroness Danner.
which title was advanced soon after to that
Countess. The matter created some discon-
tent at first among the people, but was
judged less severely when it was found that
tho loyal favorite use whatever influence she
possessed for the benefit of the nation. Be
sides, the King loudly declared more than
once that he would prefer thousand times
giving up his throne than separation from
his friend. The Countess Danner became
his sole adviser, and her influence grew to
such an extent that she was able to persuade
the King to make her his lawful wife. The
mere announcement of the intention created
storm Of Indignation throughout the coun-
try, leading to protests on all parts, and to
strong remonstrancc from the Ministers
nevertheless, Faedericli VII was not to hc
shaken in his purpose, and on the 27th OF
August, 1850, he gave his hand. in the
church of Fredericksburg. to Louise Ras-
musscn. \ short while after, the King, with
his cOnsort, visited the southern province of
Denmark, and, being rather coldly received
at one place, his Majesty made very frank
speech at banquet given in his honor. lie
told the guests that, though King, he had
by no means given up his privileges, as a
man, to man, to marry the woman he loved
best, and that, in the place in which he
stood, he looked upon his present wife as
the only true friend he possessed in the
world. The speech, repeated from mouth
to mouth created a profound sensation, and
gradually eXtinguished the il-teeling against
the Countess. At n later period she was
again censured for giving herself too much
the airs of real queen; but the reproach
was deemed vcnial, in view of what was
generally acknowledged, that she was, in
deed, the devoted friend and consort of her
royal husband. She alone succeeded in
chasing away the spirit of profound dciec-
ton which settled up the King i'll the later
years Of his life, under the burden of physi-
cal and mental sutierings, as well as politi-
cal cares. Frederick MI was thus enabled
to become what even his personal enemies
do not disputc-thc best monarch Denmark
has had these hundred years.

BolLED.-New laid eggs require a half
minute longer TO cook than Others. Tho
fresher they are the better, and the more
healthful. Eggs over a week old should

Why TUE DYISG NEVER WEEP.--The rea,
son the dying never weep Is because the
manufactures of life have stopped forever
every gland of the system has ceased its
functions. In alnost all diseases the liver
is the first manuiactory that stops work ;
one by one Others follow, and all the foun-
tains Of life are at length dried up; there is
no secretion anywhere. So the eye in death
weeps not not that all affection Is dead to
the heart, but because there is not a tear
drop in it, any more than there Is moisture
- the lip.

The case row stands, therefore, with IN opin-

is su1mised that the taunts of the Cincinnati
Enquirer and other rebel sheets as to want Of
