EGGS FOR WINTER UsE.-The following
article from an exchange will prove accept
able to many of onr lady readers
Sat this season when eggs are generally
plenty, provisions should be made for keep
ing a supply for winters use. Many plans
have been. recommended, some OF which
have been successful, others not.
The plan which we have found to be most
etfectual, Is to cover the entire shell with
tallow, which being melted penetrates the
pores thoroughly and then hardens suddenly.
Lard Oil and butter answer the purpose tor
a short time, but they do not remain
permanently on the shell and as soon as
they nave dried off evaporation of the egg
commences.
A correspondent of the Rural NeU York;
er, writes Grease them. wrap each one in
paper and pack, always putting the little erd
down. One of my %neighbors puts them up
in this way in the summer, when eggs are
cheap, selling them in the winter and
realizing a nice profit.
An accomplished housewife tells US her
way, which says is superior to all others.
Here it is One pint Of salt ; one half pint
of unslacked lime; three quarts of water ::
boil together. Pack the eggs small end
down, in isrs. When the water is cold
pour over the eggs with OF without the
dregs. She seys eggs put down in this way
will keep perfectly fresh fora long time, and
farmers putting down their eggs so in the
summer and selling them in winter can
realize a handsome profit.

pale, feeble and languid girl, just bursting into
womanhood che is the pride of all, but bark
she silently steals a pickle, eats chalk, or q slate
pencil; no appetite for food; she turns with a
dull eye and seeks solitude her eye no longer
sparkles; her merry laugh is no longer heard
ringing through the air she mopes about with
bloodless lips and gum., with headache, palpa-
%tation, constipation, swimming Of the head, cold
feet and hands, melancholy she has a coated
tongue, offensive breath, and q host of other
evils too numerous to mention.
When neglected all these symptoms become
aggravated, there is sick stomach, heartburn, a
dark line settles under the eyes, the legs and an
kles are swollen, the hair loses its gloss and falis
of, there is bfittlcness and splitting of the finger
nails, swollen abdomen, extreme nervousness,
fretfulness, pains and aches, dry cough, Hyster.

If you, or any of your friends. are thus afflicted,
send at once for a bottle of English Female Bit
tiers and be cured. Its effects are magical In such
complaints. Surely no mother will postpone and

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
A Boy WEEDS his Guardian at New 0rlsa,

The New Orleans Picayune, Of the 18th
ult, has the following:
A few days since, a well dressed and
handsome youth, of some eighteen years OF
age, appeared before one of our city
magistrates, and asked if he could engage
his services to perform a marital ceremony.
The reply was in the affirmative, and the
young man left, but shortly afterward re
turned, accompanied by a sober looking
female, middle aged and dressed in black.
"is the lady your mo,her?" inquired the
magistrate.
"Oh, no, sir; this is the lady I desire to
marry" replied the youth, as the lady drew
aside her veil, disclosing a countenance
vrinkled and sere, but on which for q mo.
ment cleaned a sort of icy smile.
Indeed"
"Oh yes, sir"
"But are YOU of age?"
mot yet; but this lady ia my guardian
"Aud she gives her CONSENT"
Eyes, air."
The magistrate was in a quandary. He
didn't know exactly what to do. He hated
to sacrifice the youth, and join bright faced
May to the gloomy, icy December. "Isn't
this rather a strange %union?" he asked.
mot at all" replied the expectant bride.
l have q large amount of property which
desire to leave to this young man. AS
have relatives who might dispute the will
were to leave it to him as a legacy, l
prefer to marry him."
And you are content to marry this
woman for her money!" asked the JUS
tics.
"Well, I shouldn't marry her for any
thing else" frankly replied the boy lover.
"She amt pretty"
And without more ado the cermony was
concluded.
