The pioneer Methodist, Peter Cartwright,
uttered many odd and witty sayings. He
was often much annoyed at one sister,
more noisy than pious, who would go off
on high key at every opportunity. At
an animated class meeting one day, she
broke out with, "If had one more feath-

An English writer of hundred years
ago thus speaks of the status of the potato :
This root increases prodigiousIy and is
very proper for feeding aud fattening cat
ue. They are boiled in water, and require
but little boiling, though they may have
been kept two months in the store. Cat
tie eat them raw, but for the table they
are wholesome boiled. earnestly re-
commend the culture of this plant to hus-
bandmen, and ii is not only excellent food
for cattle, but good for man in years OF
scarcity. After a little use the taste be-
comes at least as agreeable as turnips, and
particularly if the potatoes are boiled with
bacon and salt pork"

An American writing from Copenhagen
says IL have noticed many things which
strike me as being so entirely different
from what have seen in America that
can not help making mention of some of
them. For instance, carpets are not much
used here even by the nobility. You will find
an occasional strip around the sofas and
tables, or few mats in front of the stoves
and rocking-chairs. Most of the wealthy
persons have carpets, but care very little
about them. In very fine houses the floors
are nicely colored and waxed, which, |
think, is rather ornamental than other

The first line of the last stanla of Mrs.
Howe's Battle Hymn has excited much
comment. 1t is acknowledged to be Gym
pathetic and deeply Significant vet few
have been able TO Comprehend the full
meaning intended by the poet: - -
I'm the beauty of the lilly Christ was born
across the sea-"
The lily is an emblem of purity, but ae-
cording TO Mrs Howe's own explanation,
the thought expressed in the line was sug-
gested by Guido's beautiful picture of the
Annunciation in the Quirinal palace at
Rome, Italy. In it the Angel Gabriel is
represented az handing TO the Virgin a
nOuncement of the birth of that Holy
King who should be called the Son of.Cod.

Gently bids us, "Wsit and see.''
