which we are sorry to say has been to
limited extent introduced here:
GASOLINE ExPLOsIox.-An explosion Of this
infammable substance occurred 10 st. Louis on
the sth inst A can. filed with the burning fluid,
was left upon the table, the stopper having been
removed. 1t evaporated and filed the room with
the vapor, and when the seryanl girl opened the
kitchen door. holding in her hand lighted can
de- the gas took fire and exploded with loud
report, setting FIRE to the girls clothing, and
burning her so terribly that she Gied IN two
hours after the accident"
1t is to be observed that fearful num-
Der of lives are lost from these burning
fluid explosions in comparison to those
lost in other fires. In Brooklyn, last year,
twenty persons lost their lives from this
cause, there being during the year, thirty
one kerosene explosions-so called, but
which probably included all the varieties
of fluids of this class.
We close our extracts from the various
reports and papers, by giving the remarks
on the subject, of the Fire Marshal OF
Philadelphia, in his report for 1870:
Explosions of adulterated kerosene and reck-
lessness in the use Of Benzine, naptha, and gas
oline, and the fabrication from these hazardous
products Of petroleum, by mercenary and unscru-
pulous spectators, Of numerous fancy burning
fluids some Of which are as explosive as gunpow-
der, and palming them off upon unsuspecting
tradesmen and housekeepers as the cheapest and
safest illuminators - thereby introducing into
stores, shops and factories Of merchants and me-
chanics, and the households Of innocent people,
dreadful agents Of business hazards and domestic
calamities. Public safety and humanity alike de-
mand the passage Of rigid legal enactments. and
the appointment Of upright and reliable executive
officers to enforcs them, against the making and
vending of all impure and perilous articles for
Illuminating purposes"
With these examples before them, peo-
pie should redouble their care in the use
of these dangerous articles. There is com
paratively little danger in the best quail
tiles of kerosene, although the most care
fully and honestly prepared oil requires in
its use, constant care. A few simple OBJ
servances in the care of kerosene lamps
will 90 far to insure safety in their use;
among which we will mention that light
should never be Hoaon out, but should be
turned down until the light is extingushed
A kerosene lamp should never be carried
about in the hand, lighted; the lamp
should not be allowed to burn until the
oil is nearly exhausted, and, above all,
should never be filled while burning.

The Charitable Fair.

On Monday evening next, at the resi-
dence of Madame Ballieu, charitable
Fair will be held for the benefit of those
who have suffered by the late war in
France. In the Departments of France
which have been overrun by the invading
armies the utmost restitution prevails, and
thousands upon thousands Of the poor in
habitants are suffering from want In
England and the United States, every
thing is being done to relieve these poor
sufferers, and ship-loads of provisions and
other necessaTies are being forwarded
from the ports of both countries. We
read in the papers, of one man, Mr.. A. T.
Stewart of New York, sending 1000 bar
rels of flour, and of other private individ-
uals, societies and communities, contribute
ing munifcently to the relief of the suf
ferers. We sincerely hope that the peo-
pie of Honolulu will, in this instance, sus-
tain the reputation they have earned of
being always ready to administer relief
to the distressed, by rendering such sub
stantial aid to Madame Ballieu as will en-
able her to send to her distressed country
people the assistance which her efforts in
their behalf deserve We understand that
the Committee will meet at Madame Bal
lieu's on Thursday tomorrow evening
1t is possible they may decide to dispose
of the goods by sale at the tables and by
auction and lottery.

A DIsGUsTED CHILD.-A few days
since there we're several persons in a
house where there was young child
some two or three days old-among them
a black-eyed boy of foursummers. When
the grandmother soon after came in with
the baby in her arms, he was much pleas
ed with it, kissed it, and eviuced every
symptom of delight; asked his aunt
where she got it, and was told she bought
it of DR.. Adams then asked how much
she gave for it. She told him ten dol
lars. He then stood by her lap, on
which the child was lying asleep, his
eyes beaming with intense satisfaction.
The babe soon awoke and squalled vocif-
erously. Instantly his countenance fell;
and with utter disgust pictured on his
beautiful face, he turned around and
said,-
"Aunty, i'll was you, I'd take it back
to DR.. Adams and get my ten dollars
again"

KEEPTHE MOUTH SHUT.-This is very
important, both for happiness and health.
By keeping it shut more than it is, fewer
disagreeable things will be said, which
will make US less unhappy. Peopleshould
cultivate the habit of breathing through
the nose more than they do. Man'snos-
trils were not intended for the sole pur-
pose of Distinguishing odors, good from
bad, but were put in his head to filter and
purify the air he breathes before it enters
his lungs, and to soften and warm it when
chilled, damp, and unhealthy from the
influence of variable climate. He who
breathes through his mouth will always
find himself more or less in trouble with
pulmonary or bronchial difficulties. tits
the most hurtiul thing in the world to go
from warm room, in winter or autumn
evenings, and draw the damp and chilly
out door atmosphere directly into the
lungs through the mouth. 1t has, time
and time again, resulted in severe attacks
of illness and not unfrequently death.

OF all the lessons that humanity has
to learn in life's school, the hardest is to
learn to wait. Not to wait with the fold
ed hands that claim life's prizes without
previous effort, but having struggled and
crowded the slow years with trial, see no
such results as effort seems to warrant
nay, perhaps, disaster instead. To stand
firm at such crisis of existence, to pre-
serve ones self-poise and selfrespect, not
to loose hold, or to relax effort, this is
greatness, whether achieved by man or
woman whether the eye of the world
notes it, or it is recorded in that book
which the light of eternity alone shall
make clear to the vision.

GREELEy's RIvAL.-Mr. c. w. Fay
of the Trenton Sentinel, isafter Greeley's
agricultural laurels. Here is a sample
of what he knows about it:
The proper time to pull hemp is any
Friday that good Judge may select.
Castor oil beans succeed best in the
bowels of the earth. They will soon
work their way out.
The best preparation for hops is a toad
or two in each hill They will make the
vines fairly jump.
The usual time to put in rye is early
in the morning. Some husbandmen, es-
pecially those in the city, continue to run
it in at intervals of half an hour until
bedtime. The practice is only allowable
in case of dry season. In reaping
wheat never take it by the beard. 1t is
found to go against the grain.
Buckwheat is not healthy food. 1t is
apt to cake upon the stomach. Corn in
the ear is apt to affect the hearing. II
eaten green it will make the voice husky.
When dealt out as army rations the
kernel should always be served first, and
then the men privately.
Never plant your potatoes early. 1t
is the early potato that gets the worm.
1t is uphill work with them after that
To be certain of the kind of squashes,
compare them with your head. In adopt
ing this rule l mistook pumpkins for
squashes, but by continued, careful COM
parison, 1 soon learned to detect the diff
ference. But for some new beginners it
requires great caution.
In making cider out of apples | found
it pretty tightsqueeze, Notwithstanding
my long connection with the press. New
er drink cider made from crab apples.
1t is pretty certain to "go back on you."
If you would lay in supply of old
wine be sure to make it of elder-berries.

POETRY,
Down Hill.

A story they tell Of lunatic man,
Who slid down hill in warming pan,
He steered himself with the handle Of course,
And elucked away as he would TO horse.
His legs II is true. were somewhat IN the way,
And his seat rather tight, If II body might saw
But he landed all right at the foot Of the hill,
And for all that know. is sitting there still.
You smile at the story. and wonder how folks
Can get from their brains terrible hoax
But sliding down hill is many aman
On much worse thing than warming-pan.
Some are going down full speed on their pride;
And others who on their stingness slide;
But the strangest way of taking that ride,
Is to go. as some do on a jug astride.
Beware of such coasting. or like Jack and Gill,
You'll make sorry work in getting down hill
Beware, for with what other evils you tug,
'Tis nothing like sliding down hill on jug.
