useful to remove grease from silk II
the powder is applied quickly when
the grease has fallen upon the silk, the
latter will be speedily absorbed. The
powder may shortly after be busted

A Tear.-SIR WALTER SCOTT

Some feelings are to mortals given,
With less of earth in them than heaven;
And if there be human tear
From passions dross refined and clear,
A tear SO limpid and so meek,
1t would not STAN au angels cheek,
IT'S that which pious fathers sled
Upon duteous daughters head.
