Wisdom for the Kitchen.

Good business habits may be taught
over a kitchen stove. In the first place
the stove calls one up early in the
morning to begin the regular work of the
day. If due preparation has been made
the night before, short time will suffice to
put our Mutual Friend' or our "Stew-
art' into generous glow of warmth that
contains promise of hot coffee, steaming
potatoes, savory meats, and lucious batter
cakes. Here may one learn the true prin-
ciples of thrift which begin with food.
Watch that executive woman as she stands
over this genius of the kitchen. Over
one hole is the tea kettle, over another,
meat is frying or broiling, the potatoes
and toast are heating on the back of the
stove; apples, perhaps, are baking in the
oven, and, without burning any of the
half,dozen dishes she is preparing, they
will be SO timed, as to be all ready togeth>
er and brought upon the table in due orr
der and ''done to turn Will not such
a woman be likely to raise her sons to be
good business men? Then again, per-
son who lives from hand to mouth by the
stove will do so in life. Some people you
will find who cook at one meal or for one
day just enough food for the time and
have nothing left over; they are always
behind with their work. But look at that
provident cook who lays up store of
bread, and pies and meats; she has leisure
for something beside kitchen drudgery.
In cold weather We advocate big bakings
and big stoves; bread will keep week.
pies two or three, cake all Winter, cold
meats can easily be warmed, and thus the
labor of these short days abbreviated. If
you cook when you have fire you will
have something to eat when the fire is out;
and you will have something better than
that, the consciousness of amplitude of
resources and Of managing your affairs
with prudence and discretion. The essen
tial difference between thrift and shiftless-
ness may be found in the fact that one
always contrives to be ahead. however lit
tie it may be; the other is almost up to
the mark, only a trife behind, perhaps,
but just enough to miss its aim. The
most provident of races is the Anglo Sax.
on; to it all victories are given. The In.
dian, on the other hand, feasts while there
is plenty, but makes no provision for a
rainy day, and when the abundance is
gone, hunger must come. The old saw
"dip and deal and have little at every
meal has no significance to him, and for
his want of thrift he must pine away and
die, leaving this vast continent to his bold
and thrifty successor.

AWOrd to fathers.

We have read a story of little boy
who, when he wanted new suit Of
clothes, begged his mother to ask his
father if he might have it. The mother
suggested that the boy might ask for
himself 81 would" said the boy, "but
1 don't feel enough acquainted with
him." There is sharp reproof to that
father in the reply of his son. Many
father keeps his children so at dis
tauce from him, that they never feel
con6dentially acquainted with him.
They feel that he is sort of monarch
in the family. They feel no familiarity
with him. They fear and respect him,
and even love him some for children
cannot help loving some, everybody
about them, but they seldom get near
enough to him to feel intimate with him.
They seldom go to him with their little
wants and trials. They approach him
through the mother They tell her
everything. They have highway to
her heart on which they go in and out
with perfect freedom. In this keeping
oll pau, ldtucIS are W Ulduuc. SulluTcu
should not be held off Let them come
near Let them be as intimate with the
father as mother. Let their little hearts
be freely opened. 1t is wicked to freeze
up the love-fountains of little ones
hearts. Fathers do themselves an in
jury by living with them as strangers.
This drives many child away from
home for the sympathy his heart Graves,
and often into improper society. 1t
nurses discontents and distrusts, which
many child does not out grow in his
lifetime Open your hearts and your
arms, oh, fathers; be free with your
children; ask for their wants and trials;
play with them be father to them truly,
and then they will not need mediator
between themselves and you.

!.
We sometimes meet men who think
that any indulgence in an afectionate
feeling is weakness. They will return
from a journey and greet their family
with a distant dignity, and move among
children with the cold and lofty splen-
dor Of an iceberg surrounded by its
broken fragments There is hardly a
more unnatural sight on earth than one
of these families without heart. A
father had better extinguish his boys
eyes than take away his heart. Who
that has experienced the joy of friend
ship and values sympathy and affection,
would not rather lose all that is beauti.
full in Natures scenery than be robbed
of the hidden treasures Of his heart !?
Cherish, then, your heats best affec.

How Gems are COlOred.

1t is remarkable that rounded sanpb;ras,
and rubies are always the densest, and Of
the finest water and color, showing that
they are formed by different chemical for
ces from the others. In short, there is
no more reason for supposing rounded
sapphires to be water-worn than for sup
posing that the boulders of jasper, for
instance, on the Egyptian desert, are 50
formed, when n fraction shows them to
have been formed in concentric layers 8 and
to be in their original state. The same
remarks apply to the crystals of some
other minerals, as zircon, tourmaline. and
spinel. The oriental ruby, or red variety
of corundum, is the most esteemed. hut
the rarest, and when large, and pure in
water and color, is of great value. The
oriental sapphire, or blue variety, is only
inferior in value, but found in greater
abundance; but so capricious is the color
ing, that it is very difficult to find two
stones of the same tint of blue, unless cut
from the same piece; they vary from the
deepest violet blue, to the palest and
almost imperceptible tint-even losing
that and becoming colorless, when they
form very beautiful gem, remarkable for
its whiteness and thesabsence of prismatic
colors. The commonest variety is the
oriental topaz, which is of every shade of
yellow; when pure it is highly valued,
but among hundreds of specimens it is
very few that are found without milky
opalescence, that is intensified on the
stone being cut, which renders them
worthless. These gems are colored by
metallic oxides.

In a Hurry.


We came in possession (no matter how),
last week of an incident illustrative of the
great haste now. a.days to slip the matrmon-
ial moose, in order to have it tied again, ,wbi ich
is too good to keep. A lady who had long
borne the trials and tribulations of an u,-
congenial mate, applied for, and, after the
laws customary delays, obtained a decree
to once more revel in the delights of
oneness, entered her attorneys Office and
enquired :-"Have my papers come YETI"
On being answered in the negative, she
asked, "when will they be here?' The
attorney replied that he did not know it
might be several days yet Several
days!'' she repeated in amazement. II
cannot wait must have them. to, day y
"Why," inquired the attorney, "are you
in such hurry you have waited over two
years already, ard surely day or two
longer can't make much difference 2"
"Well," she replied, 81 can't wait; must
have them papers to-day and seeing it's
you, I'll tell you l promised to take the
o'clock train tomorrow morning to go
up the road and marry fellow, and if
them papers don't come, may slip up on
it, tell you must have them papers this
afternoon The attorney promised to do
all he could to obtain them for her in due
season for the o'clock train, and the
freed dame left the Office with the strict
injunction to be sure and not fail. And
he did not fail, greatly to the delectation
of his interesting but hasty client, who
took the O'Clock train and another hus>
band the same day.-Cedar Rapid Times.

Marriage Ceremony.
A Dutch Justice, of Sullivan County,
N. T., was called upon few days ago to
join loving couple in the ''holy bands of

FREMoNr, O., Sept. 10, 1869.

Fremont, O., Sept. 10, 1869.
To the Citizens of Fremont. and sur
rounding country.
After year of varied experience and
relaxation, have returned to Fremont
to remain a permanent citizen, and
bought the Hardware, Stove and Tin
Store of Messrs. Roberts & Sheldon. 1t
is the intention to conduct it in bust
ness like manner, and make it, as far
as possible, every ones interest to give
me share of their patronage The
line of Goods will be kept full and COM
plete. Builders Hardware will be made
a speciality, and want every one to
understand that in no case will I be
undersold. Our Tinware has always
had the reputation (and deservedly) of
being very much superior to anything
made in the market, and it will always
afford US pleasure to have a comparison
made. I intend to employ skilled
wOrkmen, and anything wanted in the
way of Mending, Eaves Trough, Roof
ing, or putting in of Hot Air Furnaces
will always be promptly attended too
and completed in the neatest manner.
Stoves are one of the great leading
articles of our trade, and it is the in
teutiOn to sell only those made by
manufacturers of long practical exper-
fence and who have an established re-
putatiOn for using the most superior
Iron. Especial attention is invited to
our Cook Stoves. Any one wanting
a Coal Stove for their parlor, viii do
well to bear in mind that we are the
only Agent for the best Base Burner
and Base Heater in this market, and at
the lowest price, and for beauty equalsd
by none.
Believing that the use of Improved
Agricultural Implements has a tend
ency to an increased production, 1 shall
feel it my duty to devote considerable |
time and attention to this branch Of
the trade, aim to meet the growing re-
quirements of the age, in supplying the |
latest modern Improvements demanded |
by the Farming interest. Mr.. o. A.
Roberts is now visiting the East and 1 |
have accepted his kind offer to purchase
what goods are need ed for the fall trade.
He has the reputation of always buying
at the bottom price, and one Of the first
rules in business is to buy well and
then it is easy to sell. To the old Gus
toners of Messrs. Roberts d Sheldon.
1 would say that every thing viii be
done in the future as in the past, to
make it their interest to still favor the
establishment with their patronage
To the people in general I extend a
cordial invitation, to call and examine
my stock, and they will find, that I offer
good goods, sell them at fair prices, ac-
commOdate as far as possible and try to
make the store pleasant and agreeable
for all. Yours
C. NJ DILLON,
Successor to Roberts 4 Sheldon.

PATENT
Metallic White Wire


We beg leave to call your attention to an
entirely new article known as Patent Metal
lie White Wire, possessing qualities which
prevent it from every corrodiDg or turning
from its uniform color during any number OF
years, and on which letters patent have been
secured. 1t has been found to be the only
article suitable for a clothes-line. The old
fashioned rope or cord always causes so much
trouble and annoyance by breaking, rotting
out, and discoloring clothes, and By being
obliged to be put up and taken down every
time used. With this Wire Clothes Line
you have none of these annoyances, and
when it is once put up it gives you no more
trouble. After using it we are confident you
will fully corroborate the statements of thou
sands Of others ia its praise. Every family
should, and will eventually have one. 1t
will not rust nor corrods, though you NAV
keep it in water for any length of time, even
salt water.
Seven reasons why every family should
have one Of these Patent White Wire Clothes
Line:
lst. You never have to take it in, no mat
ter what the weather may be; for the wealth
er cannot effect it.
3D. It will last from twenty to fifty wears
or more, and during that time you will wear
out great many rope lines, besides suffer-
ing an untold amount of trouble and annoy
ance with them.
Sd: It is the cheapest Clothes Line in the
world, to say nothing of its great convent
ence. A good rope line costs about I116e per
foot, and this only 3cts. This will last life
time, while that with good care will last but
one or two seasons. This Wire, al 25 cents
per foot, is cheaper in the end than rope
line.
4th. You cannot load it heavy enough
with clothes TO break it. 1850 lbs. being lis
breaking weight,
5;h. 1t does not iE any way discolor, wear
or iBjure the clothes that are hung upon it,
and they never freeze to it. The finest
fabrics can be removed instantly in the
coolest weather without injury. This is a
decided advantage over rope lines.
9th. 1t will save its price in saving your
clothes every six months you own it
7th. Last, though not least, this Wire will
save your clothes-posts as well as your
clothes. You may set posts ever SO firmly
and the shrinking of rope will poll them
loose. Who every saw, clOthes-posts, three
months set that were not staggering in all |
tirectionsG Not so when this Wire is used |
ior it does not shrink, and posts will stand |
rect and firmly till they rot off.
