Only q Word.

A frivolous word, sharp retort,
A parting in angry haste
The sun that rose on a bower of bliss,
The loving look and the tender kiss,
Has set on a barren waste,
Where pilgrims tread with weary feet
Paths destined never more to meet.
a frivolous word, sharp retort,
A moment that blots out years.
Two lives are wrecked on a stormy shore,
Where pillows of passion surge and roar,
To break in a spray Of tears;
Tears shed to blind the severed pair
Drifting seaward and drowning there.
A frivolous word, a sharp retort,
a flash from passing cloud
Two hearts are scathed to their inmost core,
Are ashes and dust forever more;
Two faces turn to the crowd,
Masked by pride, with lifelong lie,
To hide the scars of that agony.
\ frivolous word, a sharp retort,
An arrow at random sped,-
1t has cut in twain the mystic tie
That had bound two souls in harmony;
sweet love lies bleeding or dead;
A poisoned shaft, with scarce an aim,
Has done a mischief sad as shame.
\ frivolous word, a sharp retort,
Alas for the loves and lives
So little cause has rent apart;
Tearing the fondest heart from heart
As a whirlwind rends and rives,
Never to reunite again,
But live and die in secret pain.
\ frivolous word, a sharp retort,
Alas that it should be sol
The petulant speech, the careless tongue,
Have wrought more evil, done more wrong,
Have brought to the world more voc,
Than all the armies age on age
Records on history's blood-stained page.

nus equine, including horses, asses. muIes
and zebras, has very exalted opinion of
the habits OF the Shetland pony. At one
time he possessed a remarkable fine one
which was so small that he used to brine
it into the ring in his arms This
was most taking incident with the in
yenlles, and they expressed their FEELING
by clapping their tiny hands, and oivin9
utterance to shouts of admiration. Some
boys of our acquaintance had a Shetland
pony, which afforded an infinite sight Of
hearty, healthy amusement, by dragging a
little wagon along country road. The
fun-loving pet evidently enjoyed the ex.
citement quite as much as his more intel
ligent friends. So long as he was treated
fairly he would, after his fashion, do hon
est work; but if overloaded he expressed
his indignation by vigorously hammering
his heels against the dashboard Of the
wagon. Having once caught his foot in .
bridge floor which he was often OBLIGED N
cross, he would never after that yolnntar-
lily tread upon what he presumed to he
treacherous ground. His biped com
panions effected satisfactory compromise.
on these occasions, by unhitchine and
placing the pony in the wagon. Thus dis
posed Of, he was dragged over the treach-
erOus bridge and tackled up on the oppos-
tie side.
Some of Lech's best pictures of the
English watering places are made up Of
stout people riding the good-natured Shet-
land, and the contrast is often irresistiblv
droll and grotesque. His appearance and
size make him great favorite of children.

APPLE AND Ounce SAUcE.-Pare, qnarter

peck of ounces; then weigh both together

from specks or worms; put these into pre-
serving kettle, just cover with water and
boIl twenty minutes, strain and pour the
liquor over the ounces, cover closely and let
1T boil till about half done, then add the
apples; stir occasionally to prevent it burn
ing, being careful to break the pieces as
little as possible. When done SO that straw
or knitting needle will pass easily, add hall
pound of sugar to every pound of fruit,
stir it in gently, cover again closely, and
leave it on the back part of the stove to
simmer short time, say twenty minutes,
till the sugar is thoroughly incorporated
with the fruit. Then pack in stone pots
and cover closely. 1t is a very excellent
substitute for apple butter, and to most tastes
more palatable.

WHAT Is HEAT LIGHTNING THE flash.

WHAT Is HEAT LIGHTNING THE flash.
es of lightning often observed on sum-
mer evening, unaccompanied by thunder,
and popularity known as heat lightning,
are merely the light from an ordinary
thunder cloud, beneath the horizon of the
observer reflected from clouds, or perhaps
from the air itself, as in the case of twi-
light. Mr.. Brooks, one of the directors
of the telegraph line between Pittsburg
and Philadelphia. informs US that on one
occasion, to satisfy himself on this point,
he asked for information from a distant
operator during the appearance of flashes of
this kind In the distant horizon, and lear n
ed that they proceeded from thund er
storm then raging fifty miles eastward of
his place of observation.-Prof Henry.

stir it small quantity of the -four, until il
is a thick batter cover a little of the flour
left around the sides of the dish over the

or two it will be light. Now add half a
pint of warm milk in which tablespoonful
Of lard has been melted. (The milk must
only be little warm, else it will kill the
yeast.) Stir in all the -four left in the dish.
1t will make a thick batter. Cover with a
flannel cloth, and in the morning dip it out
into " roll pan.'' Let them rise fifteen
minutes, and bake in a hot oven. If it has
risen so as to be slightly acid, add quarter
of a tcaspoonful of saleratus. They are
light as snOw-fakes, and great addition to

HE CONSUMPTION OF GUNPowDER.-It
is generally supposed that in time of war
there is vast increase in the consumption
of gunpowder, but this is not the case. 1t
is curious fact that the arts of peace re-
quire much larger use of the explosive
than the arts of war, and that consequently
France and Germany will burn Tess gun
powder from month to month during the
contest than they otherwise would if peace
had continued. Even in the severest and
most protracted battles comparatively little
Is burned. One of the owners Of large
powder-mill in this State informed US re-
Gently, that he could make at his estab-
lishment before breakfast any morning all
the powder that was consumed at Gettys-
burg General Butler stored more powder
in his bomb ship, which he exploded
against Fort Fisher in North Carolina,
than was used in some of our most i'm
POrtant battles. War takes from mines.
manufactures, farms, etc., tens of thou
sands of men who are constantly engaged
in consuming gunpowder for various pur-
poses. In the army they pass months,
perhaps years, in idleness, and no occasion
Is afforded for its use except in salutes,
etc, so that they actually consume less in
service than out. There was during our
contest, especially during the first part of
it, increased activity among powder max
ers, and the materials of gunpowder rose
in price, but a very small part of that
manufactured was ever consumed. The
government has now on hand, in its maya
zines and arsenals, prodigious quantities +;
enough probably to carry US through two
such wars as the last. 1t may be further
observed that probably not one ounce of
gunpowder in twenty used in battle does
any execution. Its explosion serves to
increase the noise and confusion" but
comparatively very few are hurt through
its agency.-Boston Journal Of Chemistry.

MoNARCHIcAL EsrABLIsHMENTs.-T
Russian dynasty is the most costly of any
in Europe, while France and Turkey are
but little way behind. In Russia royal
ty costs sS,500,000 year in France,
100000; in Turkey, $4,000, 600.
Other European nations allow their SOW
ereigns smaller amounts. Austria heads
their list. The house of Hapsburg re-
ceives in the aggregate s4,00O,6O0 year.
Italy comes next, with s3,2OO,0OO then
Prussia, with S2,400,00O: while England
provides about s2,375,0OO for her royal
family. Among the smaller monarchies
Bavaria is the most costly, and sets apart
for her king and family Sl,25O,00O.
Portugal pays s666,OO0; Holland, $780,
600; Sweden and Norway, $3.50, 900
Denmark, $4,000; Wurtemberg, $780,
600; Rome, 100000. In the aggregate
the crowned heads of Europe cost the
people about S40,000,000 year for pri-
vate and household expenditures.

WHIsKEY AND NEwsPAPERs.-A glass
of whiskey is manufactured from dozen
grains of corn, the value of which is too
small for estimation. A glass of this mix
ture sells for dime, and if good brand,
is considered well worth the money. 1t
is drank In minute or two. 1t fires the
brain, sharpens the appetite, deranges and
weakens the physical system. On the
same sideboard on which the deleterious
beverage is served lies newspaper. 1t
is covered with half a million types-Its
brings intelligence from the four quarter
of the globe. The newspaper costs less
than glass of grog, the juice of few
grains of corn-but it is no less true that
there is a large number of people who
think corn juice cheap, and newspapers
dear.

Br ADELAIDE PROCTOR.

Nothing RESTING, in its own completeness
can nave worth beauty; but alone
T,ecause it leads and tends to further sweetness,
Fnller, higher, deeper than its own.
Springs real glory dwells not in the meaning,
Gracious though it be, of her blue hours;
But is hidden in her tender leaning
To the su nmer's richer wealth of flowers.
Dawn is fair, because the mists fade slowly
Into day, which floods the world with light;
Twilight's mystery is so sweet and holy
just because it ends in starry night.
ChildhOods smiles unconscious graces borrow
From strife, that in a far-on future lies;
And angel glances (veiled now by LIES SORROW
Draw ourhearts to some beloved eyes.
Life is only bright when il prOceedeth
Toward truer, deeper life above;
Human love is sweetest when 1t leadeth
To a more divine and perfect love.
Learn the my stery of progression duly;
Do not call each glorious change decay;
But know we only hold our treasures truly
When it seems as if they passed away.
Nor dare to blame Gods gifts for incompleteness
In that want their beauty lies; they roll
Toward some infinite depth of love and sweetnes.
uBearing onward mans reluctant soul.

writer in the Journal of the Royal Ag-
rIcuitural Society, describing the permanence
of the action of lime, saws that be knows a
piece of ground containing 166 acres, which
formerly grew nothing but heath. A good
dressing of lime was applied on the surface
OF the sward which has nearly doubled its
value. This was done several years ago,
and totally eradicated the heath. The lime
to this day appears in full condition, as it's
effects usually testify, from the richness and
and sweetness of the heritage, the texture
OF which has been entirely changed by the
application of lime.

spare no pains in the matter OF wedding
If our children refused to read at all, or II
there were no books of any kind to tempt
them, or if all that the soil of literature pro-
duced were weeds, we might well groan and
howl. But in the present case indiscrlml-
nate croaking is as unreasonable as it is use
less. In the face of such state of things
as we have described, mere grumbling has
about as much effect as grumbling at the
weather has. 1t does not make the number
of books produced or the number read, one
volume less; and, like finding fault with the
weather, it ignores the countless blessings
produced by those very clouds, and showers,
and dew, and frost, which we are so con
stantly beratiug.
What, then, shall we do?
We answer: The subject of juvenile reli-
gious literature must occupy more of the
serious and deliberate attention of the Chris
tan community than it has hitherto done.
1t is not a subject to be estimated by the
puny size of the volumes concerned, nor is
it one to be left to the judgment of the
youngest and least experienced in the con-
gregation-the giggling, sentimental misses,
who are not old enough to take charge of a
class, are sometimes thought quite compe
tent to have charge of the library, and who
often really have more to say as to the choice
of the books than have the minister, the
superintendent, and the elders. Verify,
such things ought not to be- Next to the
choice of a superintendent, there is no graver
subject of consideration for a Sunday School
than the selection of its library books 1t
is entitled to the best judgment of the sound
est heads that the congregation or the church
contains. 1t should be made a prominent
subject for examination and debate at every
convention Of Sunday School teachers. 1t
should be made part of the standing order
of business for every ecclesiastical synod or
assembly. The three millions OF Sunday
School books devoured every week in the
chimney corner and the nursery are of quite
as much consequence to the health of the
church as are the few hundreds of thousands
of ponderous octavOs and quartos which in
the course Of the year find their way to the
shelves of the theoIOOians
But once more says the reader, what is to
be done? What is your plan of operation
How are we to get at it as practical ques
ton? Suppose the case of new school
about to be organized, or of an old schoo
about to renew its ibrary-how shall they
20 10 work to root out the weeds, or to Sc
lect the pure wheat out of the vast mass that
lies before them?
These are reasonable questions
