Poetry.
Touch Those Thrilling Chords
Again.


Oh touch those thrilling chords again,
And sing that song once more,
IT'S one loved III other days,
And used to sing Of yore.
When this heart was sunlight all and bloom,
And free as wild birds wing
Twas then loved to hear the song
That now bid thee sing.
Thou sayst it is simple thing,
And has NO charm for thee;
Oh! thou can st never, never know,
How dear it is to me.
Thou can's st not know the memories
That wake in every strain
Then smile not at my earnestness,
But sing it DER again.
1t was the first, the first sweet song
Of one who cared for me;
I learned 1t from the lips of love
When stars were on the sea- 4.
tSut the minstrel hand IS cold fe!a s,ats,
And silentis that lutte,
And the hallowed lips whence flowed that song,
Are now forever mute.
Oh! many fond remembrance,
Are blended in that lay,
And each soft tone watts my full Heart
To scenes in life's young day.
Then touch the silver chorded lutte,
And sing that song once more,
Twas sung to me by my beloved,
In happy days of yore.

VEGETABLES In cooking vegetables, re-
member that soft water should be used. If
hard water only can be had, teaspoonful
of carbonate of potash may be added. They
should always be boiled by themselves, and
kept closely covered Throw in little salt
with the vegetables. For potatoes, only
water sufficient to cook then done is neces-
sary. Vegetables of the medium size are
preferable. Onions need to be thoroughly
cooked until tender.
