A PENETENTss PLEA.

Like child that is lost
From its home in the night,
I grope through the darkness
Aud cry for the light;
Yea, all that is in me
Cries out for the day
Come, Jesus, my Master,
-lllumine my way
In the conflicts that pass
'Twixt my soul and my God,
I walk as one walketh
A fre-path, unshod
And in my despairing
Sit dumb by the way
Come, Jesus, my Master,
And heal me, pray
know the fierce flames
Will not cease to uproll
Till thou rainest the dew
Of thy love or my soul
And know the dumb spirit
Will never depart
Till thou contest and makest
Thy house in my heart.
Ny thoughts lie within me
As waste as the sands
Oh make them be musical
Strings in thy hands !
Ny sins, red as scarlet,
Wash white as the fleece
Come, Jesus, my Master,
And give me thy peace

PREVENTING THE DECAY OF SHINGLES. -
Take potash kettle or large tub and put
into it one barrel of wood ashes lye, FIVE
pounds Of alum, and as much salt as will
dissolve in the mixture. Make the liquor
quite warm, and put as many shingles in it
as can be conveniently wetted at once. Stir
them up with fork, and when well soaked
take them out and put in more, renewing
the liquor as necessary. Then lay the
shingles in the usual manner. After they
are laid, take the liquor that is left. put lime
enough into it to make whitewash, and if
any coloring is desirable add ochre, Spanish
brown, lamp-black, etc., and apply to the
roof with a brush or an old broom. This
wash may be renewed from time to time
Salt and lye are excellent preservatives of
wood. It is well known that leach tubs,
troughs and other articles used in the manu-
facture of potash never rot They become
saturated with alkali, turn yellowish inside,
and remain impervious to the weather.

his executive ability lies in bis punotuality

ments, not only where and with whom, but

chance Of an interview, and ars sometimes
deferred for several days, perhaps weeks or
months. I have heard of men who, having
been unavoidably delayed found Scott fit
teen minutes after the time, but could not
settle the business they had in view until a
new appointment was made six or eight
weeks later and were compelled to fulfill it
in different city. Scott has engagements
between this and next June, all the way
from Bangor to Galveston and from Wash

average, from sixteen to eighteen hours a
day and is preserved from breaking down by
bis unquestionable genius for sleeping. The

drops into profound and dreamless sleep,

To preserve CnAB-AppLEs.-- off
the stem, and core them with penknife,
without cutting them open; weigh pound
of white sugaa for each pound of prepared
fruit; put teacup of water to each pound
of sugar; put it over moderate fire. When
the sugar is all dissolved and hot, put the
apples in, lie. them boil gently until they
are clear, then skim them out, and spread
them on fat dishes. Boil the syrup until it
is thick, put the syrup in whatever they are
to be kept, and when the syrup is cooled
and settled, pour it carefully over the fruit.
Slices of lemon boiled with the fruit may be
considered an improvement one lemon is
enough for several pounds of fruit. Crab
apples may be preserved whole, with only
half an inch of the stem on; three quarters
of a pound of sugar for each pound Of fruit.

AMONG the useful articles whic


AMONG the useful articles which attract
ed the attention, of housekeepers at the
late County Fair, was Colby Washing
Machine, exhibited by Mr. Calvin Inger-
soil, of Mentor, and to which was awarded
the first premium. We think the decision
of the committee was a wise one; and We
also can add our testimony to its efficiency
and worth-having seen it in use for sew
eral months-and being satisfied that the
claims made for it are well founded. Ina
tew words, it is simple in construction,
easily managed, light to handle, occupies
but little room, manufactured of the best
material and furnished at such a low fig-
ure as to bring it within the reach of every
family. A single trial will convince the
most skepticai of its utility. Mr.. Inger-
soil is the general agent for Lake county,
and will .be pleased 70 exhibit its work
ings on application. 1t can also be seen
at the hardware store of s. X. Stage.

lied themselves into kind of informal
club, for the purpose of developing or ex-
hibiting their skill. There have been two

,peeted that another will be held thissweek
or next. On the occasion of the latter of
the two matches, the weather was bad, be-
ing too windy for fair exhibition of the
skill of the marksmen. But despite this
disadvantage the score is good and one
which none of those participating need be
ashamed of, especially as being only the
second effort. The birds were shot from
