rHE COTTAGE DOOR.

TIE COTTAGE DOON.
How sweet the rest that labor Yields
The humble and the poor,
irAlThere sits the patriarch Of the fields
Before his cottage door.
The lark is singing in the sky,
The swallow on the caves,
And love is beaming in each eye
Beneath tho summer leaves.
The air amid his fragrant bowers
Supplies unpurchased health,
And hearts are bounding mid the flowers
= More dear to him than wealth.
Peace, like the blessed sunlight, plays
Around his humble cot,
And happy nights and cheerful days
Divide his lowly lot.
And when the village Sabbath bell
Rings out upon the gale.
The father bows his head TO tell
The music Of his tale
A fresher yerdurc seems 10 fill
The Eair and dewy sod;
And every infant tongue is still
Tvh hear the word Of God.
%, happy hearts. 10 Him who stills
The ravens when they cry,
And makes the lily 'Eeath the hills
So glorious to the eye
The trusting patriarch prays to bless
s!is labors with increase:
- Such ways are ways Of pleasantness,
And all such "paths are peace.

To DR1vE AWAY BED BUGs.-An
exchange gives the following as a
sure way to drive bed bugs frcm
old bedsteads: "Take green tomato
vines; put tuem into basin or tray,
pound them to pieces, as fine as
possible, then stain the bedstead,
where they inhabit, with the juice;
fill the crevices with pieces.of vines;
Law leaves under the ends OF the
sl..ts." If this is practiced twice, a
year not bug will remain IN the
bedstead.

Itfufnishes good pasturage during

the hay to our best Judge ofa

The Education Of the Hand.

There is certainly not a more wonderful
and beautiful and useful bit of machinery
in the world than the human hand Its
educational suSceptibilities, too are ex-
traordinary. 1t can be trained to deeds of
strength which only the toughest woods
or metals can be made TO excel, or to a
delicacy of touch and manipulation which
the finest machinery can never rival. And
the ease and celebrity of motion of which
it is capable are. quite as astonishing as
anything else connected with this wonder
tul piece of human machinery. \ few ex-
amplcs in all these departments of train
ing sufficiently prove the capabilities of
the hand under proper treatment. But,
like everything else that belongs to man,
it is generally a neglected, if not an
abused member, and at best is bui partially
developed.
Our thoughts have been turned toward
the hnman hand, at this time, by a valua-
BILE article in the last number of the Scten-
tifc Antericon, on the education of the
hand. In this article it is urged that the
early training of children is radically de-
fective, in that they are taught, from the
start, to use only one hand for all the
more difficult and nice manipulations of
ordinary life while both hands are pre-
cisely alike in construction and capacity
and equally susceptible to the influence of
training. Or in other words: children are
early taught to hold their knives. their
pens-whateye they are using for any inn
portant work-in their right hands; while
the left is employed merely asa supple
ment to the right
! The writer argues, that children might
be learned to use the left hand Just as
readily and neatly and efficiently as the
right; and that the exclusive us. of the
right hand. as the leading member, is
purely the result OF the training which the
child gets from infancy upward--to hold
everything in the right hand-to cut. or
sew, OF write with that hand only.
That the left hand might be made the

ity with which the left hand is used by
some persons, even skital surgeons, or
painters, or artisans. who use either hand.
rs convenience may dictate, with equal ia
cility and dexterity. This is evident, also,
from the success of persons who, having
lost the use of the right hand have been
compelled to substitute the left
If this be true-that the two hands are
made exactly alike. are alike susceptible
to training-why should man or woman
be deprived, by vicious early education
of. one-half the capacity and powers of
usefulness which God has given him or
her? Let the mothers who have children
in their arms or around their tables, and
the teachers of small children think of
this and begin early to teach them to
use both hands alike, and we shall soon
see two-handcd race of men and woman
in this world.

What Ii Frost +?

We have learned that dew is the float
ing moisture of the air gently floating
down upon the grass and leaves of plants,
which have become colder than itself If,
now, the grass and leaves become still
colder, as they will do on IN Autumn OF
Winter night the tiny PARTICLES of vapor,
which in Summer would make dew, are
frozen as soon as they fail, and appear on
the grass like little bristling needles OF
ice. This we call frost. 1t does not take
the form of a smooth layer Of ice all over
the blades of grass, because it is the ma
ture of water, when freezing, to take IL
regular form to erystalize. Whenever
water freezes, little needles of ice are first
seen to shoot out upon its surface, which
make the same angles with each other, all
over the world So it Is in our houses.
The moisture Of the air in our rooms
touches the cold glass, and trying to
crystalize makes the curious frost-work
on our windows every cold evening in
Winter.
singular appearance is sometimes
noticed on rocks by the roadside, and ON
the brick walls of houses, when in Winter
there is a sudden change from cold wealth
still freezing cold after the air has become
warm, they condense and freeze the mois-
ture of the air, and array themselves in a
spow-white garment of frost Scholars
in school are often troubled on Winter
mornings by 1.-THE frost comiug out OF
their States" as they cali it. The states
are so wet that the pencil marks cannot
be seen. This moisture on the slate, like
the frost on the brick wall, is caused, not
by frost. or anything else, coming out OF
them, but rather by the heat of the air 60
ing into them. This leaves the vapor in
the air to settle upon them in the shape OF
dew or frost
large collection of frost is often seen
upon the heads OF nails, While no frost APP
pears on the wood around the nails. 1t is
the nature of iron to receive heat from any
warm substance much faster than wood
does. So the air, which touches the nail,
quickly gives up its heat to the nail, and
lays down its moisture upon it to freeze
while the wood, although equally cold,
being able to take only little heat away
from the air remains quite free from frost.
