How TO CLEANSE A CIsTERN.-A simple
thing have accidentally learned, and, if
not generally known, ought to be, relating
to stagnant, odorous water in cisterns.-
Many persons know how annoying this
sometimes becomes. After frequent clean
ing and other experiments, all to no per-
manent utility, I was advised to put, say
two pounds, caustic soda in the water, and
it purified it in few hours. Since then,
when tried what is called concentrated
lye, I had quite a good result, One or
both these articles can be obtained at auy
druggist's.- Exchange.

Whisky Frauds.

Ninety millions Of gallons Of whisky
were made in the United States in 1860,
according to the census, while the last re-
port Of the Revenue Commissioner return
ed but ten millions. This enormous de-
ticiency is not to be accounted for by any
decrease in either demand or supply, but
solely by the fact that the tax on whisky is
now two dollars gallon, and that there is
about one gallon taxed for every ten
smuggled. 1t is believed the Government
has been cheated out of hundred millions
of dollars since the tax was laid on whisky.

Once when I was returning from
Ireland, says Rowland Hill, I found
myself much annoyed by the reprobate
conduct Of the captain and mate, who
were sadly given to the scandulous
habit of swearing. First, the captain
swore at the mate-then the mate
swore at the captain-then they both
swore at the wind; and I called to them,
with strong voice, for fair play.
Stop! stop!" said I, "if you please,
gentlemen, let us have fair play: it's
my turn now" cat what is it your
turn, pray?" said the captain. "At
swearing" Ireplied. Well they waited
and waited, until their patience was
exhausted, and then wanted me to
make haste and take my own turn.
1 told them, however, that had a
right to take my own time, and swear
at my own convenience. To this the
captain replied with a laugh, "Perhaps
you don't mean to take your turn?"
."Pardon me captain" answered
"but l do, as soon as 1 can find the
good of doing So" My friends, 1 did
not hear another oath on the voyagel

Life is an enigma. We are here to-
day-all activity and hustle, and to-
morrow we are gone. We die, but the
world moves on as when we were ac-
tors on the stage AS we drop away,
others take our place and we are scafce-
ly missed. Thus, since the creation;
man breathes, moves and dies. If
there were not a solution to this eng.
ma, beyond the confines Of the grave,
how dull, meagre and unsatisfying
would be the few hours we pass or
earth.

WHITTIER TO oo1TAx.

ColfaE i-well chosen to preside
Der freedoms Congress- and tn guide,
AZ one who holds the reins Of fate,
The current Of its great debate;
Prompted by one too wise, and good,
And fair, withal, to be withstood,
Here, from our Northern river banks,
send to thee my hearty thanks
For all the patience which has horns.
The weary toot Of Bunkum's horn,
The kissing Of the Copperhead,
And Folly dropping words Of lead
still wisely ready when the scale
Hangs poised to make the right prevu1i
Still foremost, though secession's head
Be crushed, with seoruful heel to tread
Tue life ont from it's wrlthiug tail
As wise, firm, faithful to the end
God keep thee, prays thy sincere friend,

Miscellaneous.
The CoIInDse orCrinoIine.

The New York Times says;
No one who promenades Broadway
nowadays will doubt that the long
foretold, long delayed, "collapse of
crinoline" has at last come to pass
1t is visible to the most careless OBJ
server, and has proof in our most fash
iOnable ladies as they "march along"
The immense circumference of skirt
and sweep of train that came in vogue
a dozen years ago, and have been ex-
panding and lengthening ever since,
until recently, are now things of the
past. In their stead masculine eyes
are now gratified by neat, trim dresses,
at once mOderates in size, gracefully
brief, and pre-eminentii,y ptquant. We
believe that those who have expert
ence in such matters, or make item a
study, admit that, in point of tastG,
convenience and comfort, the present
style is far superior TO that which it
has superseded, and it is said that in
the estimation of ladies there are still
other considerations favorable to the
dtminutiOn of scope that has taken
place. But these are mysteries be-
yond newspaper ken, and not to be
spokenly of lightly by the uninitiated.
1t would bemadness to hazard an opin-
ion as to how long the new order of
things will remain supreme. But we
expect, long ere we die, to behold
again in Broadway the flowing i'm.
mensities of feminine glory which
have appeared and reappeared in every
generation since the mighty Bess
strobe through the world in her gigan-
tic ponderosity.
