SOap Making.

In the first place, if your wood is
poor your ashes will be poor. and you
will not have good soap. Take good
care of your ashes, and one week be-
fore the lye Is required, put them in
the leach, pounding them down solid.
1t is easier done if they are dampen-
ed. Then pour on water till they be-
gin to drip, after which let them stand
one week to ''rot," tEen hang on your
kettles, and commence running off
lye for operations.
By letting the ashes stand to "rOt,'
as it is called, the lye is stronger, and
the soap of better quality, and not
so apt to be ''livery." Ii the lie is
too strong, | weaken it ; il too weak,
1 boil it. The proper strength can
be told by putting fresh egg into it.
1t should throw the big end OF the
egg up above the surface to show
about the size of silver dime, iii
any one nova days can find one to
make the Comparison. If the lye is a
triiie weaker, the egg sinas, With
I've OF this strength, take pound Of
clear grease, or It's equivalent in CON-
mon soap grease, to each gallon OF
lye used, and set to boiling. After
the grease is ''eaten up il the mkt
ure will seat or take the plume off II
feather, put IN more grease. Ii a
white scum rises on the top, skim it
off, or put in more lye. This scum is
grease, and should never be left until
it is cold. Boil until it looks ropy as
it runs off tie stirrer. Ii not boiled
too thick, all sediment will settle
while cooling, and prefer not to have
the I've poured in.
A former writer gives her trouble
with grease that Was too salt. / think
if she had rightly known, her lye was
too strong. / never had trouble with
salty grease except that it makes the
soap hard. A lady once put up her
ashes with mine for making soap. 1t
was so strong as to bear an egg en-
tirely above the lye. l weakened
an experiment., and boiled all day );
still, as she expressed it, sit wouldn't
come worth cent? an old lady
seeing it, told her to pour water into
it. She added nearly as much water
as their was compound in the kettle.
Instantly the soap came.--COr. Aner

the BEAUTIFUL RIVER.
EY BENZ. +. TAYLOR.


Like foundIing in slumber the summer day
lay
On the crimsoning threshold OF even,
And | thought that the glow through the
aZure-aiched way
was glimpse of the coming OF heaven!
There together we sat by the beauuiul stream'
We had nothing to do but to love and to dream,
In the days that have gone on before
These are not the same days, though they bear
With the ones Shall welcome no more.
But it may he that angels are culling them DER
For a sabbath and summer forever;
When the years shall forget the Decembers
they wore,
And the shrond shall be woven, no, never.
In atwilight like that, Jennie June for "a bride,
OH what more of the World could one wish
As we we gazed on the river unrolrd,
Till we heard, or we iahGlel, l's beaiiiiul ti,i,
When it flowed through the gateway oi gold.
Jennie June" then said, 'ict us linger no
On the bank. of the beautiful river,
Let the boat be UnmOOTed, and muitled the oar
And Wen steal into heaven together
II the angel on duty our coming ueSctleS,
You have nothing 10 do but throw OIL inc
That YOU wore while you wandered with me
And the sentry shall say, welcome back To
We have long been awaiting for thee"
Oh how swoetIy she spoke, ere She uttered {
word,
With That blush partly hers, partly even'S,
And the tone, like The dream ol "a song We once
heard,
As she whispered, THAT way is mo-
heavens!
For the river that runs by the realms OF the
blest
Has no song on its ripple. no star on its breast
Oh THAT river il nothing IKE lbiS,
For it glides ON in SHADOW beyond the world
west,
Till il breaks into beauty and bliss"
| am lingering yet, but ] lineer alone,
On the banks of The beautiful river,
Twas the TWIN of that day, but the wave

Washing SWeated Horses.

A correspondent OF the London
Field answers the question whether il
is a safe practice to wash sweate ed
horses in cold water. He says he
has adopted it and with beneficial re.
suits, both II summer and winter. -
After washing, the animal should be
rubbed dry, as far as practicable, aud
the legs especially. Should the hair
on them be too long to admit of this
being sufficiently done, flannel ban
dages should be put on, ami wooden
rag thrown loosely over, but without
the rolleF.-as course of an hour
the horse will Ne t0lerab!y dry, and
should then bsve another rub down,
and be clothed in The ordinary man
Eer. II horses were treated in more
rational manner than is often the
case. with pure sir and scrupulous
cleanliness, disease would be far less

The Northwestern Farmer opens {
discourse on the dignity OF farming,
as follows:
''One of the greatest misfortunes
of the world has been, AMI now is,
either to despise all labor, or to mske
false distinctions with regard to its
varied forms. We desire to put these
two classes-the labor despising, and
those who make false distinctions with
regard to labor--upon the same lev
el, yet it cannot be denied that the
latter class, hy their false standard OF
dignity, work great mischief both to
themselves and the community. The
labor despisers are wholly a worthless
class. They are worse than simple
drones. ILey sre Tie Class that hang
around the street corr ers and low
whiskey dives, or congregate in brill
liant saloons, gorgeous and attractive
to fashionable dissipations. But
whether in broadcloth or rags, in lin
sey or woOlsey or satin, in cellars or
or parlors, they are pests Of society,
for the poorhOuse, prisons
and gallows."

more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy,
Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neurafgia,
and the various Ulcerous affections of the muscu.

Syphilis or TeneTeaI and MercuriaI Diseases
are cured by It, though long time Is required for
subduing these obstinate maladies by any medicine
But long continued use of this medicine will cure
the complaint. Leucorrhea or Whites, Uterine
