Seeds.

We are sowing, daily sowing,
Countless seeds Of good and Ill;
Scattered on the level lowland,
Cast upon the windy hill,
Seeds that sink in rich brown burrows,
Soft with Heavens gracious rain;
Seeds that rest upon the surface
Of the the dry unyielding plain.
Seeds that fall amid the stiffness,
GOf the lowly mountain glen;
Seeds cast out in crowded places,
.Trodden under foot Of men;
Seeds by idle hearts forgotten,
Flung at random on the air;
Seeds by faithful souls remembered,
Sown in tears, and. love, and prayer,
Seeds that lie unchanged, unquickened
Lifeless on the teaming mould;
Seeds that live and grow and flourish
When the sewers hand is cold.
By whisper SOW we blessings,
By q breath we scatter strife,
Tn our words and-looks and actions
Lie the seeds of death and liie.
Thou. who knowest all our weakness,
Leave us not to SOW alone!
Bid thine angels guard the burrows
Where the precious grain is sown,
Till the fields are crowned with glory,
Filled with tho mellow ripened ears
Filled with fruit of life eternal
From the seeds we sowcd in tears.
Check the forward thoughts and passions
Stay the hasty, needless hands,
Lest the germs Of sin and sorrow
Mar our fair and pleasant lands.
Father. help each weak endeavor,
Make each faithful effort blest,
Till thine harvest shall'be garnered,
And we enter into rest.

A New LGCretia BOrgia.

Brief mention was made in a tele-
gram in Saturdays NcaOs Of the ar
rest at New Brunswick, New Jersey,
of Mrs. Lydia Sherman, by officers
from Connecticut, who charge her
with having poisoned at different
times three husbands and two step
children, the offspring of her last
husband by a former marriage. The
New York papers of Saturday state
that this woman married Jerseyman
nearly ten years ago. and, after living
with him three years, he died sud-
denly, and under circumstances which
occasioned considerable comment The
second husband was married in Con-
necticut, and died under equally sus
picious circumstances, but, as'nothing
wa was there known of the former mys-
terious DEATH no action was taken.
Early in 1870, at Derby, Connecticut,
the woman married Nelson H. Sher-
man, a widower, with two children,
one six, and the other fifteen years
old. Within nine months, these three
died, all under the same unaccount;l-.
..ble circumstances. After the death
of the oldest child, which occurred
last, Mrs. Sherman went to New
Brunswick to visit, and went also to
Philadelphia. Immediately after she
had-left. succeeding the death of the
child, the friends OF Mr.. Sherman
took steps to investigate the matter,
and to that end had the body Of Mr..
Sherman and those of thet'ro chill
drcn exhumed.. The officers who
came on to make-the arrest state that
undeniable evidences of poison was
found upon all three Of the bodies,
and that it was plainly seen in the
stomach. of the last buried OF the
three. They also state that they
have bcerablc to fix upon the alleged
murderer the purchase Of poison
similar to that OF which traces were
found. The poison was vegetable
and of an unusual character, the
officers being unable to give its name.
They were armed with warrants and
Il requisition from Governor Jewell.
The statements of the officers leave
no doubt that the woman is guilty OF
one of the most startling and sensa-
tional series of crimes that has ever
been committed. On being charged
with the crime she gave no appear
ance of guilt, and beyond the simple
surprise aud the assertion Of her in
nocencc, did not seem to be at all
affected.

DRIED Up THE WRONG Mantle
following is related of one Of the

for obvious reasons not let Vlt of the
select circle where it has always been
a source OF fun. a gentleman who is
much gifted in prayer, and likes to
talk OF Sunday School, and whom
we will call B., for short, attended an
evening prayer. While the bell was
ringing to hasten up laggards, 3.
improved the opportunity by senl-
ing an eloquent appeal to the throne
of grace. Thinking The bell had
been rung enough, another member
said very imperiously to one of those
small boys who arc always around. in
and out of season, Go and tell the
fellow to stop" A small boy never
did understand anything as h. was
told to do it, and this small boy was
not likely to stultify himself in that
manner. Instead Of going to the sex

he threaded his way down the aisle

and in a loud Kissing voice, said

brown sugar, one pint of vinegar, and,

brown sugar, one pint of vinegar, and
one ounce each OF cinnamon in sticks
spng mace and cloves. Put the fruit
into a. jar, boil the vinegar and spices
together, and pour it, over the fruit,
let it stand for. two. days. Then pour
the vinegar off again, put it on to
boil, and when hot pour in the fruit
and boil2all together until they are
clear and transparent. This does
just as we'll as the repeated scaldings
usually recommended.
PEAcHEs.-To pickle peaches the
simplest is the best way: Take the
large Georgia peaches, wipe them
with coarse cloth, fill a Jar with
them, drop in small handful Of black
pepper, cover all with venegar, cold,
and your pickle is made.
GRApEs.-Fill jar with rip pe
grapes; to each gallon Of ripe grapes
add one pound Of white sugar. Cover.
with cold vinegar. n
WALNuTs.-Take peck of wal
nuts or butternuts, tender enough to
be easily punctured by aa.pin;; put
them in a jar and pour over them a
very strong brine, boiling hot. In
fortnight they, will have. begun to
brown considerably, when they should
be taken out drained and laid in the
sun until they turn black. Restore
them to The clean jar, and, having
boiled two gallons of vinegar with
two ounces each of all-spice, cloves
aud whole: grains of black pepper,
and little mace, pour this splced
vinegar hot over them. After six
months an excellent catsup may be
made Of this pickle, by MASKING the
walnuts (Which have. become soft),.
boiling. them in the vinegar, and
straining all throug h sieve. This
will keep many years, and is very
fine Tor eating with fish.
CATsUP.-For ordinary purposes
the most useful capsup is that made
from tomatoes. There are many re-
tipes, but. most Of them do not teach
how To make a catsup that will re-
sist the natural tendency Of a watery
vegetable like the tomato to ferment.
sour and grow moutlly. The follow
ing recipefs for a tomato SOY that is
fine favored and will keep: Take
one peck ofripe tomatoes, free from
dust etc. eisnt tablespoonful. of salt,
two taJlespoonfuls Of ground black
pepper, one-half tablespoonful Of all
spice, four pods Of red pepper; sim
mer the ingredients three hours, strain
through a Sieve, add one quart of vim
egar, simmer ten minutes longer ;
then pour it in small bottles, cork

VENGEANCE OF AN INDIAN GIRL
A singular case of jealousy which
recentiy occurred in Western Texas,
is given in the Ell Paso Herald. 1t
seems that a man named Chandos, a a
native Of Rochester,, in England, had
made love to beautiful l.Alf breed,
sixteen years old. The girl waa bali
Apnchee and half French. In addi-
ton to her great beauty she was in,
tciiigent, vivacious and as active and
alert as an antelope. She Was gentle
and aifectionate, and no one suspected
her of possessing the terrible passion
which jealousy subsequently, aroused
in her bosom.
The English lover unfortunately
became acquainted with white glr
named Wilson no was on a visl
from a South State to her friends
in Western s. Miss Wilson was
beautiful anu accomplished, and hel
civilized graces proved more than
match for the barbarous attraction
of the Apachee girl. The result wa
that Chandos deserted the half. .bree(
and became engaged to Miss Wilson
The wedding day was set. On hear
ing of the faithlessness Of her lover
