Sprinkle. rain shower! right down
on Nlillie Warmers tasteful little hat and
graceful shoulders, unprotected save by a
thin sha wi, notwithstanding the bcscech-
ing glance of the prettieSt pair of hazel
eyes that ever looked up to cloud in that
way.
When Millic came to a large, white farm
house, she very gladly, and rather hastily
for Just then there was a heavy peal of
thunder-opencd the gate, and went up
the fower-b -bordercd path to the house, and
as another peal of thunder was heard, ac-
compauicd by vivid fash of lightning,
Millie entered without ceremony She
took in at glance the contests of the
room, plainly but neatly furnishcd-thc
canc-seated chairs, the pretty chntz COW
cred lounge, the bookcase filled with books
and sheet music; the violin in its case in
the corner, the vasc of faded flowers, and
the ornaments on the mantel. There was
no one there, but she heard childish
voice in the next room, and again knock
cd. A dark-eyed girl of ten or eleven
opened the door.
Millie explained why she was there
With the case and good manners of one
much older, the child babe her welcome.

Miles dripping hat and shawl.

shower is over, and you must stay with us
for dinner. 1t will be ready by time Ben
comes; but that will not be for an hour.
''Es. dinnc'll be weddy when Ben

three years.
The older child, whose name was Het-

81 can't get a very good dinner;
amt quite old enough, but Ben says I dc
nicely. He puts it on for me. and I see
to it, But he does not allow me to take
off kettles, for fear I will burn or scald
myself; but [ think | am large enough to

for Ben likes them so much; but Martha
who comes to bake bread for us says she

"Where is your mother ?" asked Millie
of the little Eva, when Hetty was out O
the room.
1--WE is got no mudder but Ben," the
little one-lisped.
When Hetty came back, Millie said;
Now have got nicely warmed and

LEMON JUICE IN DYPTnERIA-Dr.
Revillout, in paper precented last sum-
mer to the French Academy of Medicine,
asserts that lemon juice is one of the most
efficacious medicines which can be applied
to dyptheria, and he relates that when a
dresser in the hospital, his own wife was
saved by this timely application. He got
three dozen lemons, and gargled his throat
with the juice, swallowing little at tho
same time, in order to act OH the more
deep-seatcd parts. The doctor has noted
numerous eases of complete success obtain
ed by this method of treatment.

The great natural curiosity known as
Sunken Lake is situated in tho Cascade
Mountains, about scvcnty-live miles north-
east of Jacksonville, Oregon. The walls
are two thousand feet high, and almost
perpendicular, running down into tho,
water, and leaving no beach. The depth
is unknown, the surface is smooth and un-
rufled, and it lies so far below the surface
of the mountain that the air currents do
not affect it. Its length is estimated at
twelve miles, and its bredth at ten. No.
living man has, it is said, ever reached
the waters edge. The lake lies +" silent,
and mysterious in the bosom of the ever
lasting hills, like huge well scoopel out
by the hands of a genii."

COOKING AND CoURTING.
TOM TO NED.

Dear Ned, no doubt you'll be surprised
When you receive and read this letter;
I've rallied against the marriage state,
But then, you see, knew no better,
Eve met lovely girl out here,
Her manner is-well-very winning;
We're soon to be-well, Ned, my dear,
I'll toll you all from the beginning.
went to ask her out to ride
Last Wedncsday-it was perfect weather;
She said she couldn't, possibly,
The servants had gone off together,
(Hibernians always rush away,
At cousin $ funerals to be looking.)
Pies must be made, and she must stay,
She said, to do that branch of cooking.
ooh, let me help you," then cried;
I'll be a cooker, too-how jolly"
She laughed, and answered, with n smile,
"All right but you'll repent your folly,
For | shall bo II tyrant, SIR
And good hard work you'll have to grapplc !;
So sit down there and don't you stir,
But take that knife and pare that apple
She rolled her sleeves above her arm
That lovely arm so plump and rondcd;
Outside, the morning sun shonc bright,
Inside, the dough she deftly pounded.
Her little fingers sprinkled -four
And rolled the pe-crust up in masses;
passed the most delightful hour
Mid butter, sugar, and molasscs.
With deep reflection, her sweet cyes
Gazed an each pot, and pan, and kettle;
She sliced the apples, filled her pies,
And then the upper crust did settle.
Her ripping waves OF golden hair
In one great coil were tightly twisted;
But locks would break it, here and there,
And curl about where er they listed
And then her sleeve came down, and
Fastened it up-her hands were duu9hy;
Oh it did take the longest time,
Her arm Ned, was so fair and snowy
She hIushed, and trcmhlcd, and looked shy
Somehow, that made me all the boder;
| Her arch lips looked so red, that l.
| Wcl-tound her head upon my shoulder
| We're to be married, Ned, next month;
| Come and attend the wedding rcvels,

| Are the most miserable devils.

To CURE CONSUMPTION Il do not give
the following as an effectual remedy for n
deep seated consumption, but that it will
cure many most obstinate cases l we'll

in numberless instances. Live temperate

half pint of new milk, mixed with a

DEAR SlR:-Wc like our machine much could

We were not to he defeated that way. | took

we had had no machine) and in q hours we put
