Waste Paper.

Few housekeepers are aware of the
many uses to which waste paper may be
put. After stove has been blacke d, it
may be kept looking very well for a
long time by rubbing with paper every
morning. Rubbing with paper is much
ulcer way of keeping the outside os a
tea kettle, coffee pot and tea pot bright
and clean, than the old way of washing
them in suds. Rubbing with paper is
also the best way of polishing knives and
tin ware, after securing. This saves
wetting knife handles. If little -four
be held on the paper, in rubbing tin ware
and spoons, they shine like new silver.
For polishing mirrors, windows, lamp
chimneys, &C., paper is better than dry
cloth. Preserves and pickles keep much
better if brown paper instead of cloth is
tied over the jar. Paper is much better
to put under carpet than straw. 1t is
warmer, thinner, and makes less noise
when one walks over it. Two thick
nesses of paper, placed between other
coverings on bed, are as warm as a
quilt.

The Family Table.

OF all the familiar features of the
family there is none that possesses a
greater interest, or greater capacity Of
contributing to the household happiness,
than the table. 1t is the prime uniter--
the first and chief prom2ter Of that unity
which makes the family the integer Of
human organization. 1t wields more
than patriarchal authority. The fathers
commands may be forgotten the moth
er's wishes thoughtiessly disregarded,
but with its white cloth the table is a
power which is never resisted or slighted.
The members of a family may be
scattered in different places-some at the
counting house, some at the work shop,
some in the forest, in pursuit of pleasure
or prosecution of DUTY. The magic of
the white cloth reaches them wherever
they are, and its mute invitation sum-
mons them home. And even when the
family is shattered to fragments, and
scattered over the whole earth-when
each departing member has become the
head vf 9ifferen& family, that unfor-
gotten picture of white cloth and the
tea-urn will still assert its power, and
gather the wanderers from the distant
land to joyous thanksgiving under the
old roof tree.
The family board should be honored Of
all, where churlishness, coldness, silence
and frowns should have no place. II
may be made thrice day the scene Of
festival richer and rarer than picnics
in wooden graves or sumptuous feasts in
gilded saloons. Its offering may be fru
gal and humble-but no matter; better
is its dinner of herbs, if favored with
love and spiced with vivacity, than the
rich courses of grand hotel, where
strange hundreds swallow and gulp amid
a olatter of dishes, regardless of each
others presence, or the weary and mo
notonous meals of the boarding house
where the people know each other tot
well to be entirely reserved, and too lit
tie to be familiar. Each assemblag'
round the family table has its peculia
charm. and each may be made feast.
The table is no place for stiff dignity
or austerity. Biting bread and butter
and taking soup from spoon may b.
done pleasantly and gracefully; but 4
infuse dignity and stiffness in the opera
tion is inexcusably ridiculous. Hunge
is leveler, and eating and drinking
one of the most delightful pleasures
/, No one has a right to disguise the limo
: cent satisfaction of it at the family board
by the affectation of an exemption fror
SO human weakness as an appetite o

DIR. Norman Macleod was on High

threatened serious consequences. DIR.
Macleod, himself large, powerful man,
was accompanied by clerical friend OF
diminutive size and small appearance,
who began to speak seriously to the boat
men of their danger, and proposed that
all present should join in prayer; "Na,

The passion of America, to-day, is the
passion for wealth, and its weakness is
the weakness for display. Both are bad
no doubt, from moral point of view :
still, both are productive of good. But
for the first we should be content, as we
once were, with stage-coaches and sail
ing packets, and for the last we should
be content with the old, worn-out homes
of our ancestors. Now we are content
with neither. The change which has
come over us in regard to our home-lifa.
is an evidence that we have grown-we
will not say more cultivated or more re-
fined (for that would sound offensive,
but more cosmopolitan. We are not
merely Americans, we are citizens of the
world. We have learned to travel, and
have learned something by our ravel.-
10 be sure, we are laughed at abroad
especially for our extravaganza, but LET
those laugh who win. They do not lauuh
in London over the rare books which ~e
purchase for our libraries; nor do thew
laugh in Paris over the pictures which
we purchase for our galleries. We bring
back more than we take away. This sact
Is nowhere 80 apparent as in many Amer.
ican homes. 1t is not merely that the
walls which were once bare are now
crowded with pictures, nor that the
rooms which were called libraries now
contain books; it is in the general air
OF elegance and refinement, which per-
vades the whole household, and which.
m itself. is liberal education.-7Ae Ii.

For the Bellows Falls Times.
Fading Flowers.

Why leave so soon the parent stem
And fall upon the ground;
And trodden by the foot of man
Be crushed and lifeless found.
Thou markest well the passing days.
OF summers suns and showers;
But when the frosts CT autumn come.
Why leavest thou thy bowers
Thy stay is short; watched the bud
A few short months ago;
But now thou'rt gone. thy place of birth,
No longer thou dost know.
For such is life F.; like fading flowers.
1t blooms. and then il dies
And leaves this world of grief and woe,
And scars above the skies.

plete harmony If such thing is mentally
or morally possible in the midst of 20
many thousand performers. Just now, one
writing from the city cries out In horror:
'Tell me, ye raw east winds,
That in this region roar,
Do ye know some spot
Where people sing no more!
Some quiet little place,
Some village 10 the West,
Where, free from notes and little sticks,
A body might find rest!'
