ton well-knOwn song open upon the
piano may attract another or chess
board invitingly displayed, and some new
card-game, with clear space on the table,
may so engage Others that the promised
game of billiards downtown" will be in
definitely postponed. Simple refreshments
also play no small part in OBTAINING such
as would visit the restaurant for a uxuri-
Gus evening meal, which repast would
often be supplemented with wines, and
the sad results of late hours and ACQUIRED
taste for stimulants.
An easy chair, dressing gown, slip
pers, and the evening paper before
bright fire make up an invitation difficult
to Withstand. To such simple combna-
tions many lady owes pleasant even
ing with husband or son. Often little
pictures, arranged so as to be easily seen
from the favorite chair, may, even during
business hours, and amid scenes of splen-
der, haunt the imagination, and cast over
the far-off, unpretending apartment, a
halo bright and inexpressibe In fact,
little artistic skill may so arrange a room
that the whole of it will be one beautiful
picture
These seemingly trivial devices are
more potent in influence than deeper
schemes and study aiming at the same re-
suit.
In many of our houses the dining and
sitting rooms are one. The cold, tired,
hungry man, coming home through the
damp streets, past squalor and misery,
opens his door to see a bright, warm
room, clean and shining table, and vi
ands, whether profuse or not, SO nicely
arranged that he rubs his hands in glee,
and feels very like embracing the first
one he meets, which, if he is married,
should be his wife And if size be as
bright and smiling as the pleasant rooms
h er def hands have created, the husband
feels thoroughly that he is heartily and
truly welcome home and that home is the
the dearest spot on earth"
Too many women are in the habit of
neglecting their personal appearance at
home, even when their cares are so few as
to afford no excusee for the remission OF
this important duty. The gentlemen OF
the house, in their business intercourse OF
the day, meet many ladies, who, as a mat
ter of course, to be seen in public, have
arrayed themselves in becoming costume,
| and appear to the best advantage; and il
is, at the least, disheartening to man
| coming home from the gay panorama OF
the street to find an untidy and mayhar
cross wife awaiting his arrival
| Boys yet in their teens are sensitive, too
| regarding their mothers and sisters, and
unless these same mothers and sisters
want to suffer in comparison with the
many bright beings constantly passing
before the eyes of their sons and brothers
| they must not save their clean collars
pretty dresses and bright smiles for com
| pany.

! leave no means untried TO make home at
tractive, so that its influence may be felt
not only day after day and evening after
evening, while the loved ones are near a
hand but that when they are far removed
from its kindly cares, the memory Of the
distant home will be fraught with sucl

Bridal Couples in Washington.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial is facetious over
the bridal couples who flock to the
Capital to enjoy their honeymoms. He
says:
There must be some undiscovered mag
net which hrin rs rs many Happy pairs to
Washington. They flourish in such mum
bers in no other city, but the secret has
not been discovered. You meet them
everywhere, and at all houTs-no, not at
all hours, unless you take your breakfast
very late If you go down to your break
fast at the hotel say half-past ten or
eleven, you will see perfect school, or
flock, or drove of them There they sit
at the little round tables all over the room,
and they look very pretty mean the
brides, of course, for the men, great
sheepish fellows, are not worth looking at.
There they sit, in the properest kind OF
attitude; they would not have you for the
world think they were at that very mo-
ment the happiest girls on earth. Their
dress is of the properest kinda subdued
or neutral shade, trimmed with velvet and
fringe or embroidery; a dainty little hat,
with bow of ribbon, patch of velvet, a
plume, shred of lace and bright flower
toying to hide among them all, even as she
is irving to hide the bushes that come
and 20 on her round cheeks.
The little doves always come to break
fast i'm their hats, and carry their little
coats, and mufis, and gloves in their little
hands. This is the style, fair girls, II you
have any such thing in view. She may
90 right back to her room and read over
the letters he used to write to her, ali day
long, and not go out Of the hotel at all
but it is the style to go down with hat on
and all things ready.
1t is very amusing to watch these PEG
pie at the hotel. They come to every
meal-breakfast, lunch, dinner and sup
per. At breakfast they look very pretty,
at lunch $685. at dinner they are resplen-
dent, and at supper pale and tired. You
see them at their best at dinner. 1t is there
that they shake out the wrinkles in their
new dresses. Yesterday the pretty bride
went to dinner in black silk and valenci-
ennes; to day sac wore light blue silk,
long train, trimmed with point applique
tomorrow she will wear ashes OF rose
silk. with white satin trimmings and
fringe; the day following, if she stay so
long, she will wear very handsome black
silk walking suit, and the following morn
inc Won will see her at the early breakfast
with her demure little travelling suit on,
for she lis going in the morning traln-going
back to begin her future-but whether LOT
GOOD or ill depends largely ON herself

was attacked on Friday evening Janu-
airy 49, On Saturday night, his physi-
clan, DR.. AFFORD, reached him, and at
once was convinced of the terrible ma
ture of the disease. Having had case
similar some seven or eight years since,
where the patient recovered under his
treatment, and has remained well ever
since, after consulting the physician
present, DR.. Mccall, it was decided to
place the patient under the same treat
ment which had been successful in this
former case, which, for the aid ii
may be to others who suffer from this
disease, we here give as follows: The
injection under the skin of large doses of
morphine, and the administration of large
doses of castor, which is powdered anti
spasmodic. About one grain of the sui
phate of morphine was injected under the
skin once in four hours, and half dram
of the powdered castor, mixed with syrup,
given internally. The effect was to pro-
duce sleep in about half an hour, which
lasted about an hour and half, when the
commissions returned again, and returned
at intervals of an hour to an hour and a
half, until nine o'clock Sunday morning,
when the last CONFUSION occurred, after
which he suffered severely from obstinate
vomiting until Monday at ten o'clock,
when that also ceased, leaving the patient
comparatively easy, but very much pros
trated Since that time he has gradually
improved, and now is to all appearances
quite we'll In addition to the above treat
ment small quantities of chloroform were
inhaled at times, and on Sunday morning
thepatient was wrapped ina wooden blanket
wrung out of warm solution of ammo
MIA, eighteen to twenty grains TO the
ounce. This was the treatment which
checked this fearful malady, and which
DR.. AFFORD, for the sake of humanity, is
anxious should be published to the world,
and thoroughly tested.-fHnt (Mtch.) Cor.

THE OLD MEADOW.

I love to linger, at my will,
In the old meadow near the hull,
when shadows lengthen hour by hour,
Soft in the suns declining power;
And reeting on NOISY stone,
With vines and clustering ferns o'ergrown,
Watch the gray shadows, deepening still,
From rock and tree and grassy hill.
The tiller of the soil likes not
The wild growth Of this lonely spot;
For viewed through keen, long practiced eyes
yTis but space to utilize;
For ak to cut, and fire to burn,
And with the pillow the sod upturn,
Ouell the rank weeds, enrich the field,
I'LL it full, ripe harvest yield.
All kinds Of trailing foliage run
Luxuriant in the quickeniDg sum-
Broad spreading vines, in weavings thick,
Entangle every bush and stick,
And make the winding old, rail fence
One long continuous arbor dense,
OF wild grapes purpling full and free,
Inwoven with red mercury.
The toadstool brown, and crimson, too,
Spring quickly up, in midnight dew;
And overhead are hanging bowers,
And underneath bloom low, wild flowers;
And round about, soft to the feet,
Thick moss and grass embedded meet;
And from the bloss0ming buckwheat,
The passing breeze bears odors sweet
Just in the slope from the upland
Two stunted apple trees close stand;
The robiu with the yellow breast,
In secret here has built her nest;
And undsturbed, she lightly fits,
Collecting all the dainty bits,
For the unfledged, tender, little brood,
She rears in peaceful solitude.
Low in the bushes deepest shade,
There lies well, by nature made,
OF rough-hewn rocks which, ever fed
