from the Sermon on the Mount,
broke out "Ma, did Jesus get

"No, my child, he did not get any

him?" because he did not preach
politics. The devil offered him a
big salary, but he would not &C.

ESTEEMED LADIES: In response
to your request for a contribution
to build houses for destitute chill
dren of deceased Conf Gerate sol
diers, please find inclosed $500 in
currency of the deceased Confede-
racy. You say that "the shrink
ing delicacy and pride of the
Southern people forbid the idea
OF conducting the establishment
upon the principle or plan OF an
ordinary charity" We cordially
coincide with this policy, and as
ordinary charities are supported
by ''greenbacks,' you will appre-
ciate the lofty sense of chivalric
propriety which leads US to con-
tribute to your enterprise a cur
rency which is opposed, in all re-
spects, to greenbacks.

Chicago and the South
Some Remark able Correspondence
.'" Uuearthed. III

The Richmond Enquirer, irrita-
ted by unfounded remarks Of the
New York Tribune as to express
ions of rejoicing in the South over
the burning OF Chicago, insists,
on the contrary, that the tone
and temper of the Southern peo-
pie are best exhibited by the fact
Of the large sums of money sub
scribed for that city in all the
great trade-centres of the South.
as well as in many of the smaller
towns. The Enquirer, however,
to prevent further complaints
from the same source, publishes
the following, which exhibits a
degree of moral degradation on
the part of the printing company
implicated, which should not be
allowed to pass unnoticed and un-
rebuked: '-' 4

Origin Of Rejoicing Light
Houses.

Over hundred years ago, at a meet
ing of the Mathematical Association at
Liverpool, a member said he could read
paragraph of a newspaper at ten yards
distance by the light of a iarthing can
die. This being on all sides doubted, a
wager was land, when the member took
a concave wooden dish, and covered 1t
with pieces of looking-glass, which he
fastened to the dish with putty. Having
thus made reflector he passed it behind
the farthing candle, and taking his posi-
tion ten yards offfrom the light, he read
aloud to the whole assemble, and won
the wager amid the greatest applause.
Among those who witnessed this expert
ment was Captain Hutchinson, the mas
ter of the docks, who afterwards made
practical application of the principle IL
lustrated by inventing rejecting light
houses. 1t has frequently occurred that
discoveries made by scientific men have
been regarded as merely curious until
they have been turned TO account by less
learned but more practical men.

To Remove Iron Rust from
White Goods

A remedy which I have tried and
found efiectual, is this:-One ounce of
oxalic acid dissolved in one quart of wa
ter. Wet the iron rust spots in this so
luton and lay il in the hot sun the rust
will disappear in from three to twenty
minutes, according to its depth. have
just experienced by holding a rusted
cloth, wei with this solution, over the
steam of boiling tea-kettle, and the rust
disappeared instantly. In either case
the cloth should be well rinsed in water
as soon as the rust disappears, to prevent
injury from the acid. Many use this
acid TO remove fruit and and ink stains
from whiie fabrics. When diluted still
more, il may be used to remove fruit or
ink stains from the hsDds.

Flirting.

II is remarkable but nevertheless true,
that, as a rule, hirts, both male and fe-
male, do not marry quickly. The chances
are that girl who becomes engaged and
disengaged, as is the custom for iiirts to
do, ultimately settles down into confirm
ed old maid. If she does wed, as gen.
eral rule, she develops into virulent
wasp, makes her husband miserable,
and brings up her children badly. IL is
not very difficult to find reasons why hirts
do not marry. Sensible men admire in
a woman something besides a pretty face
and engaging manners. They love intel
lect. common sense. and heart qualifica-
tions, which the fiirt does not possess.
The true woman allows her affections full
play, and is not ashamed Of them. She
will not lead man to believe she cares
for him when she does no such thing; she
will not fiirt with him just for the sake
of flirting. She has true conception OF
what is right, and possesses a great deal
more common sense. She has derived
her education from something else than
three volume novels and the society Of
the empty pated. She can be merry
without being idiotic. She may attract
less attention in a drawingroom than a
fiirt docs, because she is less noisy and
obstrusive; but, for all that, she will be
married sooner. and make her husband a
better and truer wife. A true woman
docs not care for the spoony young man.
She dislikcs his foppishness, the vivid
compliments he pays her, and his eiiemi-
macy. He quickly finds this out and
leaves her in peace. Thus, If he ulti-
mately gets married, it is to the hirt, and
the happy pair lead the jolliest cat-and-
dog life imaginable. Hort and Hand

How GOssip increases

How gossip increases and grows till 1t
gets into genuine scandal, and is entirely
different from the original story, is told
by letter-writer. He says that he was
told, If he ever took house in terrace
a little way out Of town, to be very care
ful that il was the centre one, at least if
he had any regard for his reputation.
For one must be well aware that story
never loses by telling, and, consequently
if he lived in the middle Of a row Of
houses it was very clear that the tales
which might be circulated TO his preju-
dice would only have half the distance
to travel on either side of him, and there
fore could only be half as bad by the
time they got down to the bottoh of the
terrace as the tales that might be circu-
lated of the wretched individuals who
had the misfortune to live at either end
Of il; so that he would be certain to
have twice as good a character in the
neighborhood as they had. As an illus
tration of this he was informed of Ia
mentable case that actually occurred a
short time since. The servant Of No. ]
told the servant of No. 2 that her mas
ter expected his old friends, the Baleys.
to pay him visit shortly; and No. z
told No. 2 that 3 that No. expected to
have the Bayleys in the house every day,
and No. 3 told No. 4 that il was all up
with No. /. for they couldn't keep the
bailiffs out Whereupon No. 4 told No.
5 that the officers were after No. |, and
that il was as much as he could do to pre-
vent himself being taken into execution,
and that il was nearly killing his poor
dear wife; and so il went on increasing
and increasing, until it got to No. 32,
who confidently assured the last house,
No. 33, that the Bow-street officers had
taken up the gentleman who lived at No.
/. for killing his poor dear wife with ar
senic, and that il was hoped and expec-
ted that he would be executed.-LOadOn
