this prevents the bread from rising too
much and running over Keep up fegu-

some butter over the top, wrap up in cloth

Though with their long watching, the weary

And hope seems in vain, yet the morning will
And this is the secret-night hides meath her

A world fun of lovely and Ioveable things,
Each night has its morning,

Though hard be its beating, and long be its sway
And the bright, heartsOme blue, turn to gloom

Yet the gloom, and the gray, and the dow n

Bring freshness, and beauty, and strength, in
their train;
And you'll not gaze with sorrow, nor shrink
with alright,
When. you see in those drops the rainbow of

Each cloud has its lining"
The eye of mortality watches in vain,
A ray of its hope-promised glory to gain;
But dark, and yet darker, these leaden folds

But Faiths wings are strong, up through ii, her
And the side next to Heaven is aye silver

It Is gratifying TO US to inform the public that
DIR. L. Q. C. Wishart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial, for
Throat and Lung Diseases, has gained an en-
viable reputation from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific coast, and from thence to some OF the nrSt
families of Europe, not through n the press alone
but by persons throughout the states actually
benefited and cured at his office. While he
publishes less so say our reporters, he is unable
to supply the demand. 1t gains and holds its
reputation
First. Not by stopping cough, but by loosen
ing and assisting nature to throw OF the un-
healthy matter collected about the throat and
bronchial tubes, 1Chich causes irritation.
Second. 1t removes the cause of irritation
(which produces coughl of the mucous mem
brane and bronchial tubes, assists the lungs TO
act and throw off the unhealthy secretions and
purifies the blood.
Third. 1t is free from squills, lobelia, ipecac
and opium, of which most throat and lung
remedies are composed, which allay cough only,
and diSorganiZe the stomach. 1t has q soothing
effect on the stomach, acts on the liver and
kidneys, and lymphatic and nervous regions,
thus reaching to every part of the system, and
in it's invigoFa1ing and purifying effects it has
gained a reputation which it must hold above
all others in the market.

not because it does them any good. A

Old Tin Fruit Cans.

Empty tin fruit cans, like old hoop
skirts, are nuisance. when out of place.
The question is, What is their place and
l should be willing to answer it humid
red times, if could Danish them from
the cutters, the ash-heaps, the vacant lots,
and, above all, from the hands of the
boys. / shudder now at the very sugges-
ton Of their being used again as music
boxes strung with rosined chords. Did
that epidemic visit your locality, my dear
reader2 If so, you would be in haste to
prevent the slightest possibility of its re-
currence. But to the remedy.
In the first place, to open the cans
properly, put hot Goals on and around the
little soldered tie on the top, until the
solder melts, then scrape off lid and Goals
together, with table knife. Be CAREFUL
however, not to set the cans on the hot
stove, before they are opened; for with
a little neglect, steam enough to burst the
can might be generated, which would
not be very pleasant or profitable meth
cd of opening it. When opened proper
ly, you have smooth, round orifice
through which to remove the fruit
When the cans are empty and dry, in
vert them on hot Goals in the stove for
half a minute, or on a hot stove until the
solder melts, and loosens the remaining
top of the can, then strike it off, smooth
off the bits of solder, and you have very
convenient cooking utensil. For lid,
use saucer, or the covers to old tin pint
cups or pals. Rice, wheat, samp, pearl
barley, split-peas, and many other dishes
for q small family, and small dishes for a
large family, can be cooked in them,
eiiher standing directly on the stove, or
placed in larger boiler or saucepan of
water to prevent the possibility of their
burning. 1t also saves more costly tin
utensils; for this method of boiling In
water is hard on the tin-ware. One can
be kept for onions; others can be used
for baking or steaming Rye-and-lndlan
bread, and some kinds Of pudding.
They are also convenient for pantry
use, for holding articles to be used in
cookery, or in the laundry; for garden
seeds, for paint-pots, and tor many other
things that will suggest themselves to ev.
cry housekeeper, and for which indeed
they would long ago have been used, but
for the untidy jagged edge made by the
common method of opening them. i
covers are wanted for them in these ca
pacities, the discarded rims and lids may
be put together with little solder.
If there are tin sheaAb at hand, anC
any one to use them, the cans may be
made into very passable scoops. Take
several of them at a time to a timer, anC
he will cut them into shape for a triae
II saves time to have a scoop in every
meal tub, flour barrel, sugar pail, anc
starch box. In short old tin cans are
far better for many purposes, than TO

have better economy, more taste, and
higher grade of music. j. 9.
