How TO GREEN CUCUMBERs.-An tx
change 1--WE copy selected and uncreditcd
article) says There is no way to impart
green color to cucumbers, that would
not be injurious to health, except by the
use Of green leaves, like those from the
grapevine. Possibly sap green, which is
: preparation from the juice of buck
thorn berries, would answer the purpose
if it could be obtained here. Verdigris
can be detected in nearly all the pickles of
commerce; but its use is highly objection
able, as it is poisonous acetate of copper.
Pickles may be colored with it if the
people place 4 higher regard on the color
Of the coudiment they cat than on their
health. Nearly all the shades Of green
are produced from some combination of
arsenic, but this fact does not prevent the
use of them for coloriug confectionery.
Cannot some one introduce new fashion
in the color of pickles? las

RUSSIAN TEA MAKING-Mr W. A..
Whyte writes, in A Laud Journey from
Asia to Europe AT Kalgan we first
made acquaintance with one Of the great
est Russian institutions, the Samorar 1t
is large sort of urn; in the ccu,cr is a
-- tube into which hot coal or charcoal is in
! troduced, which Keeps it constantly boil
ing. The method Of making and drink
ing tea is also very agreeable. In a small
teapot strong infusion, nearly essence Of
tea, is made; small quantity Of this is
poured into tumblers, aud each guest adds
water and sugar ad hbi'um. Whether it
+ is that the tea in Russia is much better
than We get in England, or that the
method Of drinking it is better than ours,
know not; can only say that l never
tasted its equal before, aud never hardly
for years imbibei so much as did during
my short stay at Kalgau. The Russians
say that the tea which makes ouly land
voyage is much superior to that which
passes over the sea, and am inclined to
their opinion also that their method Of
making it for drinking is the right one.

A Victim of Aphasia Tells His Story.

Rev. j. B. Kearney, an English cler-
gyman, writes to the Spectator, that he
has been victim to the mental disor-
der known as Aphasia, or the saying of
one thing and meaning another-and
this is the story of his experience:
forgot everything which happened
after an accident, and most of the
things which happened shortly before
it. For instance, [ was in the habit of
using certain bag at least three times a
week, but the first time l needed my
purse l found that had forgotten where
it was, and when it was suggested to me
that it might possibly be in the bag to
which | have referred / could not re-
member the word to which l had set the
Mordan's puzzle lock which fastened it
only a month or six weeks previously,
although had no difficulty in recollect-
ing the old word to which it had been
set three years or thereabouts. stated,
moreover, the sum of money, roughly
speaking, which would be found in the
purse if it came to hand. Months after
wards the purse was found, and it con-
tanned the amount had named. I'm
der skillful treatment my broken bones
were soon mended, and my only serious
wound healed, my sprained muscles
took a longer time to get back their for
mer tension, and my injured nerves
were longer still in shaking their unna
tural sensitiveness to pain; but the last
thing l recovered was my memory of re-
cent events.
Let me earnestly recommend all who
are afflicted with loss of memory to try
the remedy which was efficient in my
case, viz, hard and long continued exer-
else in the open air. l felt the loss OF
memory to be so great drawback that
no struggle could be too painful which
promised even chance of me regaining
that precious faculty. Accordingly, /
spent every available moment in the
open air, walked about from one place
to another. From about halfpast five

nothing except absolute duties to inter

daily walks. | did not saunter, but
really exerted my muscles, preferring
hills, and frequently running up them
backward.
AS soon as allowed to do so, gave my
usual lessons to my pupils, in such sub
iects as Hebrew and mathematics, al
though was obliged to keep each arm
in sling, and was unable to turn over
the leaves of my book. | dare say many
who were then Kings scholars recollect
that instantly detected the change of
a single figure in the examples which !
had set to be done out of school, and
also that I usually forgot the imposi-
tions which the culprits ought to have
brought to me for the offence of altering
the proper figures. 1t seems remarka-

lengths of the sides of the triangles, for

Culture of Celery.

As celery is one of the most palatable
and wholesome vegetables, it should be
found in every garden. Another advan-
tage it possesses is, that it may be kept
perfectly fresh throughout the winter.
July is the best month for planting
celery; it may be planted at any time
from the middle of June to the middle
of August, but, after all, July is the
best suited for setting out the main
crop. The ground for this crop should
be deeply titled and well pulverized, and
if not exceedingly rich, should have an
abundance of well-rotted barn yard ma
nure placed in trenches one foot wide
and eight or ten inches deep, so that
when the manure and soil are In the
trench. the surface will be a little below
the ground-level. BY this means mols-
ture will be retained about the roots,
and a greater length of the stalk can be
blanched than if the plants stood on the
ground-level. The rows should be at
least three feet asunder, the wider the
better, and the plants six inches apart
in the rows. The leaves and roots
should be shortened considerably at the
time of planting, and shaded and wa
tered until they had become well rooted.
The plants may be grown on the level
surface in rows one foot asunder, plants
six inches apart, and when they have
arrived at full growth they may be
blanched by standing them close to-
gether in deep trenches and covered
with soil and stable manure. The latter
plan is now adopted by gardeners. The
former is perhaps best for private gar

1t sweeps across the rose-pink lawn.
It trembles on the window pane,
And round the hills its veil is drawn.
Oh. cold aud long the day will be:
No light, TO warmth, it brings to me;
For you, my love my love! to-day
Wait in the sweet South far away.
How wait you ? In some grassy place,
Beneath an arch of bowery trees.
A smile upon your upturned face.
Your hands clasped idly on your knees?
My love! my love! the day is dark:
The rain is dull and cold; and. bark
The wind is up: / hear the sea
That separates you, dear, from me.
What happy sun shines in your eyes?
What flowers of France about you bloom?
What rare, sequestered beauty lies
Far in the low hills purplish gloomI
The garden leaves about me fall,
The vines hang loosely on the wall;
And. hush across the storm comes, faint,
The ring-dove's murmuring, low complaint.
Your rapt glance you nOrthward turn,
I catch its light here, far away,
Famed with the airs of sweet Auvergne ;
Your face comes in my sleep-a star
To guide me through my dreams atar:

Through summer hours our love was born :
The water shone about our feet,
The fields were green with growing corn
And June laughed low in lane and street.
O love my love! in days like these,
When we two watched the birds and bees
Flash through the flowers about our door,
We asked the world for nothing more.
What if the ship which bears you home
Goes sailing by the sunlit strand,
While weeping, here [ watch and roam
In memory's tender, twilight land?
O love! my love / watch and wait:
The land with rain is desolate,
And all the blue toss of the sea
Lies now betwixt the light and me.
So, on and on my thoughts are led.
I hide my tears against the wall.
And, dreaming thus. I hear the tread
Ofunknown feet along the hall.
I dare not look! All, heaven, if he
Should come this rainy day to me.
Then all these rain drops. shining, cold,

protector and education, she accepted
another husband.
The new family have been moderately
prosperous. Although not possessing a
large amount of this worlds goods, they
had enough to make life pleasant. The
son and daughter were educated at the
best schools, and if the wife thought Of
her lost husband at times, she was not
unhappy with her new one. On Monday
an arrival of more than passing impor-
tance to this family was announced in
the village, and soon the former husband
and father presented himself to his as
tonished wife. He made no recrimina-
tons, took all the blame on himself, and
made known his determination to not
interfere with the present domestic ar
rangements and to Immediately leave,
but before doing so he wished to mack
proper acknowledgment, which he did
by making over to his son and daughter
a large amount of property. 1t appears
that on his first arrival in California, he
had been unfortunate in all his under
takings, and not wishing to write dis
couragingly, he concluded not to write
at all. Later he was successful beyond
his fondest hopes, but delayed his depar-
ture from time to time until shame for
bade his return. He has since left, and
the tenor of life in that quiet household
now flows on as before.
