Beauty in a modest woman is like

"All women, let them be ever so

"Squires and night-errants are sub
ject to much hunger and ill-luck."
Liberty may be carried too far in

Did you not confess that you were sick

neck exposed, and little hat kited up on

gewgaws, and blue sashes and gold ear

into your body!'
Minnie looked half-scared, and Grace

" Cotton" again came somewhat re-

Vanity, it used to be said, kept peoples

Cooking and COurting.
TOM TO NED.

TOM TO NED.
Dear Ned-no doubt you'll be surprised
When you receive and read this letter;
I've rallied against the marriage state,
But then, you see, knew no better.
I've met lovely girl out here
Her manner is-Well-very winning:
We're soon to be-welI, Ned, my dear,
I'll tell you all from the beginning.
/ went to ask her out to ride,
Last W Wednesday-it was perfect weather;
She said she couldn't, possibly,
The servants had gone off together.
(Hibernians always rush away,
At cousins funerals to be looking),
Plea must be made and she must stay.
She said, to do that branch of cooking.
- oh, let me help you" then I cried;
- I'll be cooker, too-hOw jolly!"
She laughed: and answered, with smile.
''All right but you'll repent your folly;
For shall be a tyrant, sir.
And good hard work you'll have to grapple :
So sit down there, and don't you stir,
But take that knife and pare that apple"
She rolled her sleeve above her arm
That lovely arm, SO plump and roundeds
Outside, the morning sun shone bright;
Inside, the dough she deftly pounded.
Her little fingers Sprinkled -four,
And rolled the plecruSt up In masses;
I passed the most delightful hour
Mid butter, sugar, and molasses.
With deep reflection, her sweet eyes
GaZed on each pot and pan and Kettle;
She sliced the apples, filled her pies.
And then the upper crust did settle.
Her ripping waves of golden hair
In one great coil were tightly twisted;
But locks would break it, here and there,
And curl about where 'er they listed

The Turkish Nation.

Colbert, the best and latest authority,
saws the population of European Tur-
kew is Is, ,242, ,OOO OF these only 100000
are Turks, of whom only 100000 are in
Constantinople, and the entire race is
constantly decreasing, from their abom-
Unable and unmentionable social crimes.
On the score Of nationality, then, the
claims of the Turks to rule disappear at
once. Colbert distributes the remain
der as follows: Bulgar ians, 100000 :;
Wallachs, 100000; Greeks, 100000; !;
Albanians, 100000; Bosnians and
Croats, 100000; Servians, 100000 !;
Montenegrins, $4,000; Gipsies, Jews,
Circassians, &c, compose the remainder.
Greece itself has 100000. Add
Greeks and Albanians together (for
Hahn and Camarda have proved them
to be of the same origin, and they CO.
alesce), and we have 100000; SO that,
in the score of race, the sovereignty
would still fall to the Wallachs. But
add the Greeks of the Archipelago,
100000, and those along the shore of
Asia Minor who ardently desire to be
united to Greece, 100000, and the
Greeks would then have a right to the
empire, for they would number $780,
600. A Greek empire could be formed
in the shape of crescent along the
shores of the Egean, with all the thou
sand island stars included within it's
Lorns, and Stamboul for its capital,
which would contain twice as many
Greeks as people of any other nation
ality, and more Greeks than of all others

ROLLING RAILWAY AxLEs.-A commu-
nication was recently made to the Brit
ish Association upon method for
shaping railway axles byrolling pressure,
instead of by hammering, the result
being accomplished in two minutes, IN
stead of half an hour, as required by
the usual method; the axle at the same
time being not only superior in quality,
but more uniform in size, and Of course
capable of being produced more cheap
w. The machine consists Of three
rollers, regulated so as gradually to
press more closely together, thus reducing
the diameter of the bar, and extending
its length until shaped to the size re-
quired Axles of any length can be
rolled IN this manner with collars at
any part The rollers are geared to re-
voive in all the same direction, their
friction imparting motion to the axle.
1t was thought by the author Of the
communication that the rolling process
would tend to obviate those flaws IN
axles which so frequently cause disas-
ters on railways.

BIRrHDAYs.-What would life be with
out birthdays "a dreary desert without
a green spot in it. That's so. Old peo::
pie don't seem to have a clear idea of
the importance of such little fellows as
you or I, except on our birthdays. Then
they come to their senses, and make a
special pudding expressly for us,-pro-
duce a new jacket, or trowsers with
pockets, and are wonderfully civil for
people of their years. We are heroes
on our birthdays; our big brothers and
sisters are nobodies, and we can boss''
the household from morning to night.
That's what like, don't you? Jimmie
Smith, friend of mine, says his parents
don't keep his birthdays. don't think
this is right. 1 think it makes home
dearer to us, to make something of us
once year. Mother says it does, and
mother is always right.

How the Wife Felt.

A man, at whose house was guest,
told me that he had been hard drinker
and a cruel husband; had beaten his
poor wife till she almost became used to
it. "But," said he, "the very moment
| signed the pledge l thought of my
wife-what would my wife say to this ?
Strange that should think of my wife
the first thing, but l did !; and, as [ was
going home, l said to myself: Now, if /
90 home and tell her all of sudden
that | have signed the pledge, she'll
faint away, or she'll up and do some
thing; and l must break 1t to her by
legrees. Only think of it Why, the
night before I'd have knocked her
down, just as like as not, if she hadn't
looked to please me, and now | am plan
ming to break good news to her for fear
it would upset her."
AS near as | could gather from what
he told me, he found his wife sitting
over the embers, waiting for him. AS he
came into the house, he said:
Nancy, think that"
"Well, Ned, what is it ?''
"Why, I think I shall-that isl
mean to-to-Nancy, | mean"
"What's the matter, Ned Any thing
the matter?'
"Yes," said he, "the matters just
this-I have signed the temperance
pledge, and, so help me God, I'll keep
it. "
''She started to her feet, and she did
faint away. was just in time to catch
her; and so she lay in my arms, her
eyes shut, her face so pale, thinks L,
she's dead she opened her eyes, and
then she put her arms aound my neck !;
and I didn't know she was so strong, as
she pulled and pulled until she got me
down where l had not been for thirty
years-on my knees. Then she said 0
God help him = and said 'Amenl' and
she said, 20 God help my poor Ned,
and strengthen him to keep his pledge,
and l holIered Amen = just as loud as
could holler. That was the first time
we ever knelt together, but it was not
the last"

Removing Deposits in Steam Boilers.

Every day adds to the number of
methods recommended as efficient for
removing deposits in steam boilers One
of the latest of these has been invented
by Mr.. Weiss, of Basel, and is called by
him Litho-reactive, and is claimed to
possess the property of extracting old
deposits and preventing the formation
of new ones, converting into soap the
grease coming from the condenser, and
finally neutralizing all the acids. The
formula for the preparation is as fol-
lows: Five parts of molasses or beet
syrup; fifteen parts of milk of lime
three parts water, and eighty-four parts
of soda lye of thirty-four degrees
Beaume.
The compound is said to precipitate
at once all the bicarbonates, the sui
pilates and the silica, to convert the
grease into soap, and neutralize all the
acids, removing all old deposits of what
ever kind, and however thick; and at
the same time not attacking either iron
or copper. 1t acts not only at an ele-
waited temperature, but precipitates and
neutralizes, in cold water, all these for
eign bodies. For this reason the water
may be made to undergo a preliminary
puritication before passing into the
boiler. Our space will not allow us to
give the details of the chemical theory
by which the different substances re-
ferred to play their parts in preventing
or removing the deposits in question,
although fully set forth in the original
communication of Mr. Weiss. We may
state, however, that two pounds Of the
preparation are said to be sufficient for
1900 quarts of water.

Rooms heated by a stove, either coal
or wood, should be provided with a
water vessel, and if this is not the case,
a temporary reservoir must be fur
nished. Where water for evaporation
is not provided, the heated or dry
air of the room, having great avidi-
ty for moisture, seizes it wherever
it can be found-drying the skin,
parching the mouth and throat, and
shrinking the furniture and wood
work of our houses till they leave great
gaps at all the joints. To be agreeable
and healthy, the air of our living rooms
in winter, which are warmed by artificial
means, should be charged with moisture
nearly to the dew point, or, In other
words, to such degree that if it should
become a little cooler, moisture would
be deposited, as the dew is, on the cool
ing which generally follows the decline
of the sun

A CURIOUS CUsToM-It was the custom
in Babylon 500 years before the Chris
tian era to have annually an auction of
the unmarried ladies. In every year,
on a certain day, each district assem-
bled all it's virgins of manageable age.
The most beautiful were put up first,
and the man who paid the highest price
gained possession of her. The second in
personal charms followed her, and so on,
so that the bidders might crafty them
selves with handsome wives according
to their purses. There may yet remain
IN Babylon some for whom no money
was offered, but the provident Babylon
ians managed that. When all the
comely ones are sold the crier orders the
most deformed one to stand up, and
after demanding who will marry her for
a small sum she is adjudged to him who
is satisfied with the least; and in this
manner the money raised from the sale
of the handsome serves as a portion to
those who are either of disagreeble
looks or that have any other imperfec-
ton.
