Recipe for q Modern Bonnet.

Two scraps of foundation, some fragments of lace,
A shower Of rose-buds to droop DER the face
Fine ribbons and feathers, with Grape and illusion
Then mix and derange them in graceful copfusion !:
lnveigle some fairy, ont roaming for pleasure
And beg the slight favor of taking her measure;
The length and the breadth of her dear little pate
Then hasten miniature frame to create;
Then pour, as above, the bright mixture upon il,
And 10! you possess "such a love of bonnet"

Be careful, young man, in the prime Of your life
Not to fool your EXIST nee away;
The best thing for You is TO find you wife,
Aud marry her right away.
A bachelors life is horrible strife,
or earthly existence alone
And when they are dead, and all has been said
There's tell where they're gone!

sSpring has COME, around again and with
it the general Frightening and cleaning up
of The house. The gentlemen may COM
plain as they will of house-cleaning times.
1t would be sorry house for them, as
as well as every one else if there was no
house-cleaning. Still good thing may
be abused by doing it in bad way. It is
not wise or comfortable to have the whole
house under water at the same time. Bet
Ter take the storm by installments. There
is nothing gained by this hurry and rush.
and hustle, this determination to have the
whole thing done up at once. 1t is no
mark of superior housekeeper either,
though many imagine that such energy
andresolution are unmistakable proofs of
their superiority over their more comfort
able neighbors.
The highest style of housekeeping is that
which makes the wheels move on smooth
ly and evenly without sudden jar like
an earthquake every few months. The
cellar should receive early attention in the
spring. All vegetables left over from the
winters store should be carefully assorted
and no particle of decayed vegetable mat
ter should be permitted to remain there.
Terrible fevers often affecting whole fam
lily. and frequently ending in death, have
resulted from neglect of these precautions.
Throw open the outer cellar door, and let
the sun pour into it If possible. Let the
walls be thoroughly whitewashed, every
shelf and cupboard be neatly scrubbed and
then you will have the satisfaction of feel
ing that the foundation of your house is all
right. s..s.ss
Then take whatever order seems most
convenient for the rest of your house, only
preserving the precaution not to overwork
yourself and lay the foundation for coughs.
colds, and rheumatisms for the next six
:wseka There is nothing gained by it.
Better take . fortnight more for the pro-
cess. 1t don't pay TO berry house-cleaning,
as too many housewives house found to
their sorrow. ilurrying and worrying
kills more people than hard work.
