DIED SUDDENLY ! How often these
solemn words meet our gaze in the news
papers, They suggest most important
inquiries to each one of us. Reader:
/. Is your business in such shape that
| if you should die TO night it might be
settled by your survivors without unnec-
essary loss to your estate Immense
sums are lost, and vast trouble and ex-
pensive l'tigations are involved, by i'm
properly kept account-books, and the
neglectiug of full memoranda of unfn-
ished business.
2. Is your will made In the event
your pulse ceasing to beat before to.mor-
row morning, would no injustice be done
to your heirs, and those objects of Christ
ian benevolence which it is yonr inten-
lion to promote after your death? Died
iatestate! is often the precursor of jeal-
ousies, and heart rt-burnings, and injustice
which might have been prevented by a
few strokes of the pen.
B. Have you paid all your debts Or
have you made arrangements that your
creditors shall not be wronged There
may be some balances against you, which
you acknowledge yourself morally bound
to meet, but against which no legal
claim can be presented. You intend to
pay them after a while. You have the
ability now, but you are neglecting
them. Take heed lest death, coming
when you did not expect him, shall put
it forever beyond your power to do just
Ily.
f. Are you on amicable terms as far
as you can be with everybody You
spoke an unkind word, and wounded q
sensitive heart. Have you tried TO re-
pair the damage? That brother, thai
sister, that neighbor, toward whom in 8
moment of excitement, you acted an un
christian part, deserves better treatment
You are conscious of having wronged
them. Had you not better ask their for
giveness, and gain reconciliation now
Tomorrow, there may be no opportuni
ty. You know not what shall be on thu
morrow.
5. Have you made God your friend
If not, you have no time to lose. HI
waits to be gracious now You will soor
stand before Him. "This night thy sou
may be required of thee" Take jesus
at once to be your Mediator and Saviour
Set thy house in order.

SETTING Down ON EGGs.-Henry
Ward Beecher thus gives his experience
in hunting hens eggs:
eve put the eggs safely in our coat
tail pocket, and walked cautiously. 1t
recalled piece of disrepusable careless
ness on our fathers part, who once sat
down on a dozen eggs, and went up as if
every egg was bomb, and every bomb
an explosion. But then he was a noto-
rious absent-minded man. His example
was our safety. And yet we dwelt with
some inward mirth, as we walked to the
house, ON the ludicrous figure our father
cut. Dinner was spread as we came in.
Some questions came up which diverted
our thoughts from the discovery of the
nest-indeed we forgot that we had an
egg about us, and drew to the table and
sat down with alacrity, which was only
equalled with the spring with which we
got up.
Gracious"
why, what is the matter?"

drew my hand from my pocket
streaming with liquid chicken, never to
be born, and the disgusting secret was
out That woman was saint. My pock-
cts were duly cleansed without one cut
ting work. l can imagine the process,
but never like to dwell uponit. Would
you believe it, the same thing happened
in few weeks again? II did, and to the
very same person. But never since, no
never. From that day to this, we do
not remember to have taken an egg from
nest.
1. When | see man who allows him
self to be pulled up and fattered, Iknow
that his time will come when he will sit
down on his eggs.
| 2. When / see men who are robbing
right and left, and filling their pockets
with unlawful wealth which other men
earned, Isay, "you will sit down on those
eggs yet"
3. When Overcoming men think that
they can outwit all their fellows, and are
exulting at the success which their
shrewdness has achieved, Isay to myself
Fill your pockets By and by you will
sit down on those eggs"

Sulhpite of Lime for Preserving
Wine and Fruits.

One of the readers of the rural New
Yorker desires to know the best method
of using sulphrite Of lime for preserving
fruit. As the subject is one of general
interest, we take occasion to present brief
ly the principles upon which this sub
stance acts as preventive.
The great agents in causing the decay
of fruit, vegetables, VIM, &c, are heat
and air. If, however the latter be ex-
cluded, some fruits and vegetables, and
most wines, will bear a pretty high tenn
perature. Further. it is only one ele-
ment of the air-the oxygen-that
proves SO destructive, and if this be re-
moved, putrefaction and fermentation
are greatly retarded. Some substances
have powerful affinity for oxygen, and
remove it entirely from the atmosphere
under some circumstances. Thus, if sui
phur be burned in the air it combines
with the oxygen, forms sulphurous acid,
NhiSH uioooiSSS III WdtSf VI Wlue anu
leaves the remaining air free from oxy-
gen. Hence the use of burning sulphur
in wine casks before filing with wine.-
The oxygen is all removed, and the
agent which turns alcohol to vinegar not
being present, there is no danger of the
wine turning sour.
As convenient substitute for burning
sulphur, (sulphurous acid,) sulphite of
lime a combination of sulphurous acid
and lime) has been used. 1t has strong
tendency to absorb oxygen and become
converted into sulphate of lime Gypsum
1t therefore removes the free oxygen
from the wine and from the cask, and
entirely suspends the process of acetif-
cation as it is cal)ed-that is the conver-
sion Of the alcohol of the wine into vim
egar. For this purpose sulphite of lime
has been extensively used, especially for
the preservation of cider.
| 1t has also been used for the preserva-
ton of fruit. If dissolved in the syrup
or water in which fruit is placed. it will
soon absorb all the oxygen present, and
the fruit will not deccmpose. In the
case of wine or cider, however, the re-
sulting gypsum, which, is insoluble, will
fall freely to the bottom of the vessel,
and produce no effect on the flavor OF
the wine unless too much is used But
in the case of fruit the sediment is apt
to settle on the fruit, though not to such
an extent as to do much harm. The
proper quantity to be used is noted on
the bottles in which the sulphi.e is sold
and in the case of fruit, an exposure to
the air for few hours before use will in
general remove all unpleasant taste OIL
smell. We must add, however, that al
though the process is simple and cheaper
than the ordinary method Of canning
fruits, we prefer the latter

A clergyman being much pressed by

SPEND WIsELY.-Look most to your
spending. No matter what comes in, if
more goes out you will always be poor.
The art is not in making money, but in
keeping it; little expenses, like mice in
barn, when they are many, make great
waste. Hair by hair, heads get bald
straw by straw, the thatch goes off the
cottage; and drop by drop, the rain
comes into the chamber. A barrel is
soon empty, if the tap leaks but drop
minutes. When you mean to save, be-
gin with your mouth there are many
thieves down the red lane. The ale,jug
is great waste. In oil other things
keep within compass. Never stretch
your legs further than the blankets will
reach, or you will soon be cold. In clothes
choose suitable and lasting stuff, and not
tawdry fneries. To be warm is the
main thing never mind the looks. A
fool may make money, but it needs q
wise man to spend it. Remember it is
easier to build two chimneys than to
keep one agoing. If you give all to back
and board there is nothing left for the
savings bank. Fare hard and work
hard while you are young, aud you have
chance to rest when you are Old

Useful Information.

Scour zinc with sand and buttermilk.
Celery should be put into the cellar,
in boxes of dry sand, for winter use.
Cranberries should have water kept
on them, and changed every two weeks.
Pour hot tallow on ink spots, and let
it remain few minutes before washing.
Keep lemons and oranges we'll wrapp-
ed in paper, and they will keep long
time.
To choose nutmegs, pick them with q
pin; if the oil comes out they are good.
Molasses is improved by boiling, and
should be boiled and set away for cake
and other purposes.
To prepare rye for coffee, wash, and
soak over night. Brown the color of
coffee, in the morning.
Tea and coffee should be made as soon
as the water boils, or the gas escapes,
and the flavor is destroyed.
To use cold starch, pour cold water IN
the quantity of starch required, stir we'll
then dip in the articles to be starched,
roll them up in dry cloth, iron in fif-
teen minutes.
To give gloss to shirt bosoms and col
lars, add piece Of white wax and sper-
maeeti, each about the size of pea, to
pint of starch, while boiling. Iron
until smooth, as friction puts on the
gloss.
Another. Pour hot boiling water on
gum arabic, and wheni it is dissolved, put
it in bottle and cork tight. When the
starch is boiled, add some mucilage, and
it will give fine gloss.
A farmer who found it necessary to
NOW damp oats, salted it. In the spring
he found it had not been disturbed by
mice, while in the same NOW, the oats
not salted were literally cut to pieces.
If brooms are wet in boiling suds
once week, they will become very
tough, will not cut the carpet, last much
longer, and always sweep like new
broom. A very dusty carpet may be
cleaned by setting pail of cold water
out by the door, wet the broom in it,
knock TO get off all the drops, sweep q
yard or SO, then wash the broom as be-
fore, and sweep again, being careful to
shake all the drops off the broom, and
not sweep far at time. If done with
care it will clean carpet very nicely,
and you will be surprised at the quanti-
ty of dirt in the water. The water may
need changing once or twice, if the car
pet is very dusty. Snow sprinkled over
a carpet, and swept off before it has
time to melt, is also nice for renovating
soiled carpet. Moistened Indian meal
is used with good effect by some house,
keepers.
