broidcring with linen floss, which
some prefer to silk, as being less ex-
pensive and not turning yellow with
age, put in the eye Of the needle that
end of the thread which comes first
from the spnol; otherwise, your thread
and your temper are apt to go into n
snarl.
!Scdltiing Pickles in Brass.-Evcrv

action Of the vinegar on the brass is
such rs to poison the pickles to a Ger

THE LAST GOODNIGHT.

-:O:-
Close her syelids-press them gently
Der the dead and leadcn eyes,
For the soul that made them lovely.
Hath returned unto the skies
Wipe the death. drops from her forehead
Sever ono doAr golden tress,
Fold her 10y hand all meekly,
Smooth her !i;tls snowy d,ess,
Scatter flowers DER her pillow
Gentle flowers so pure and white
Lay the bud upon her bosom
There-now softly say, Good Night.
Though our tesrs flow fast and faster,
Yet We would not call her back,
We are glad feet no longer
Tread life's rough and thorny track;
We are glad our Heavenly Father
Took her while her heart was pure,
All life's trials to endure;
We are glad-and yet the toar drop
Faliesh for. alas, we know
That our froside viii be lonely,
we snail miss our darling so.
While the twilight shadows gather,
We shall wait In vain to feel
Little srn,s, all white and dimpled,
Round our necks 80 softly steal;
Our wet cheeks will miss the pressure
OF sweet lips 90 warm and red,
And our bosom sadly, sadly,
Mics that darling little head,
Which was wont TO rest there sweetly;
And those golden eyes 80 bright,
We shall miss their loying glanccs
We shall miss their soft Good Night.
When the morros's sun is shining
They will take this cherished form,
They will take Il to the church.yard,
And oonsign It to the worm:
Well-vhat matter? 1t is only
The clay dress our darling wore:
God hath ro6ed her as an angel,
She hath nesd of il no more;
Fold her hands, and DER her pillow
Scatter flowers all pure and white,
Kiss that marble brow, and whisper,
Once again, n last Good Night.
