How to DiSinfect a House.

Mix common salt and black manga
nese, about equal weights, and take
about pound Of the mixed powder for
each cubic yard in the house. Place it
in pan where you can arrange to upset
a vessel of acid into it by pulling a
string outside the house. This will be
oil of vitriol, or boiled sulphuric acid
(specitic gravity 1-S), a weight double
that of the manganese. Make all open
ings, except chimneys, air-tight, and
have no water or wet things within, or
polished metals, unless you want them
dimmed. Then pull the string that
pours the acid on the powder. The OBJ
ject is to fill the house with chlorine
gas, which, being heavy even while
warm, will accumulate from the ground
upward, expelling the air by the Chin
neys. However tight the lower open
ings, you will probably smell little of
it as a warm sea-breeze. By next morn
ing the law of gaseous diffusion will,
even through the chimneys only, have
disposed of all it's traces; and it will
meanwhile have found out every I'M
clean atom, lurk where it may, and
killed every germ or sperm, zymotic or
animalcular, deader than any other kill
ing known.

sUE,s THANKSGIVING.

"To-morrow IL be Thanksgiving day" said merry
little Sue;
"Mother's been making puddings and pies, and
there's so much TO do.
Aunt Mary is coming, the darling and Nell, with
her baby boy,
And dear old grandpa and brother Tim! On my
am wild with joy!
"one year ago poor grandma came; but her face
was, oh so white.
And she trembled So and spoke so low, cried with
all my might
She said when this Thanksgiving came, and
placed the chairs around,
Hers would be empty, aud her dear face be under
the frozen ground.
" And now it's true ; and I'll cry when see poor
grandpa stand
Alone at the head of the table, while he prays with
lifted hand
For grandma used stand by his side and say such
Il will seem as if we must all of us wait till hear
her voice again. E+-
"Oh. that cunning little baby of Nells! don't
Till see the carriage come over the hill and stop at
the garden gate
She wrote i'll her letter such funny Things the nttle
rogue would do
Don't YOU think when she asks him who he loves,
he'll say just us plain, Aunt Sue!
.'And Tim has let his whiskcrs grow. know he'll
he fright!
And know Just how he'll tease me, too, from
morning until night.
He'll catch up in his great strong arms, and run
up stairs and down,
And rub my cheeks to make til IN red with his beard
so stiff and brown
al know just what aunt Mary II say. why, Sue,
how thee does grow,
Does thee grow better as thee grows tall? I'd very
much like to know.
Dear aunte she always looks 10 sweet, snd has
such pleasant smile.

more than all beside,
For grandpa and darling grandma Ooh. wish she
had MT died)
But | II thank Him because had her once, and I'll
ask Him not to take
Any more angels out of our house, for the dear
Christ Jesus sake!
"Ill stand tomorrow where grandma stood close
by her empty chair,
And grandpa will lay his dear old hand so softly in
my hair
While he prays such beautiful, beautiful words to
the Father in heaven, and then
When he bows his head I'll whisper to God, III say
it for grandma. Amen.

Not the Man He Thought.

Some years ago young naval officer
was dispatched with message to Com
modore Stewart, then at his home i'll
New Jersey. When he reached the
Commodore's country seat, he saw an
old man hauling manure from the barn
yard. Supposing him to be one of the
hired hands, he approached and sang
ont
Helloa, old fellow is the Commo-
dorc at home?"
"Yes," responded the harefooted,
shabbily-dressed man, "just walk up to
the house"
The officer strutted pompously to the
house and was quickly seated i'll the
parlor. Soon after, perceiving the same
person passing by the window, he again
asked:
"Well, old man, how soon will the
Commodore be hcrc?'
SIN very short time, now,' quickly
answered the person addressed.
Presently the very same 4" old fellow
entered the room, and announced to the
horror-struck messenger, 81 am the
Commodore, what do you wish ?"
The astonishment on the young Off
GERS face can be better imagined than
described. He briefly delivered his
message, and then received such "lect-
ure" from the Commodore as he was
not likely to forget. After promising
to respect old age always afterward, he
took his departure, much wiser and
much more crestfallen than he came.

~ hated him and loved her, and

destroy him, and I did it. Ha! what is
that ?" And he fell back fainting, as,
pushing back the crowd, there stood at
his pillow the man who had saved him
Albert Markham!
A dcathlike silence reigned mo-
ment, and then Albert Markham, turn
ing to the crowd, said slowly:
You heard him He spoke truly.
He did the deed. l knew it, but he had
done his work SO skillfully that l was
powcress to prove it and what weight

was ruined, and not daring to face my
fate, l fled. For ten long years 1 have
been homeless wanderer, bitterly re-
penting the sins of my youth in remorse
and suffering. Many IL night have 1
slept with no shelter but the heavens,
my last thought being prayer to open
my eyes no more on earth. But death
comes not to such wretches as [. A few
months ago "a wild homesickness seized
me, and urged by power L could not
resist, l turned my feet this way, hoping
that outside in my dark desolation L
might catch the glow of their Thanks
giving fire, and hear the echo of their
mirth. God knows, l hoped for moth
ing more Can it be that this is real
no dream?'
And Albert Markham bowed his head
in his hands and sobbed like boy, till
soft fingers touched him, and a sweet
voice said:
"Real, dear Albert, as the love that
waits to welcome you home again.
Come away from here. We can do no
good, and think how long your fathers
heart has ached - And leading him
like child, they went out together,
and whirled away over the starlit snow
to Markham House. The lights We're
flashing brightly from every window,
and ut the sound of their bells the door
opened, and Mr.. Markham appearel in
It, the warm glow within falling like a
halo over his gray hair. A look of sur
prise came over his face when he saw
the single sleigh containing Mary and
a stranger; but before he could speak,
she sprang from it, and laying her hands
upon his shoulders, said:
"By Gods goodness, dear guardian,
1 have brought you a joyous Thanks
giving. Albert home again, with name
unsullied as your own" And he looked
up, to sec his son standing with bowed
head before him.
There was no ball in Markham House
that night, but the lamps burned long
and bright, and the hearts within beat
lighter than ever dancers feet to music.
There was one shade upon their happi-
ness-Mark's injury, and the pain that
faith betrayed ever gives. But even
this was soon wiped away. A late mes
senger brought word that his injuries
were not SO serious, and that he would
recover. And he did and by life of
rnfeigned faithfulness atoned for his
past crime.
Mary and Albert were soon married,
and the old house is now bright with
childish faces, which are never so merry
and happy as when they gather around
grandfather on Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving PrOclamatiOns.

There has been a great improvement
this year in the Thanksgiving Proclama-
tions put out by the Governors. Those
which we have seen have been COM
mendably brief In Massachusetts, the
State i'll which Thanksgiving was dis
covered, the Proclamations used to be n
yard long, and when the parson read
the official copy in church, one end of it
hung down in the broad aisle before he
had finished. 1t told the people with
great minuteness what they were to be
thankful for-crops, health, peace, etc,
as if they didn't know without telling.
1t advised them to go to church, to say
their prayers, to eat II good dinner, and
generally to unite piety and jollity; and
it always ended, Good save the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts, an aspi-
ration which had great effect upon the
small boys of the congregation, partly
from its impressiveness and partly be-
cause they were in a hurry to get out of
church, and were glad when the reading
was over. The Governors nowadays do
not make such great display of their
religion and it must be confessed that
in the old times very queer names were
sometimes attached to the grateful and
pious Pub. Doc. From being local,
Thanksgiving has become II national
holiday; still the Massachusetts people
are of opinion that it cannot be celebra-
ted with proper spirit anywhere out
side their ancient borders. But it has
grown jollier as it has grown more gen
eral. There was once touch of ascetic-
ism in its observance, but now it has mo-
nopolized good deal of the mcrriment
which properly belongs to Christmas

How. To RISE REFREsHED.-Every
person who tolls daily at any kind of
labor requiring great physical or mental
exertion, should be extremely careful to
practice regular system of ablution at
the close of each days work. Some
times person may become so COM
pletely exhausted as to render this any
thing but an inviting performance yet
by it's omission great deal of refresh
ment which the hours of repose are de-
signed to inpart, is lost. To be cleanly
is strictly religious duty, and is abso-
lutely essential to sound and refreshing
slumber; hence the labor of keeping
ones person clean is amply repaid by
the elasticity which follows nightly alb
lutions before retiring. Heed this ad-
vice, and the reader will sleep soundly ;
disregard it-go to bed unwashed, and
you will rise in the morning unre-
freshed, with feelings of lassitude which
the exertions of the day will hardly be
able to remove.

erality of mankind pull hard and then
begin to reply, stop short and pull
again, and recommence afresh. Then
they send out sentence enveloped in
smoke, and about as clear as ground
green glass then they break off short
and go for the weed again, and finally
they try to convey their ideas in an elo-
ouent glance the paper burns down to
their fingers, and their hand goes up
like a pigeon out of spring trap. The
final expression of sentiment is not ex-
actly suitable for class at Sunday

A REMARKABLE change in the channels
of American commerce, consequent
upon the building of the Union Pacific
railroad, is shown in the report of the
monthly imports of raw and other silk.
Prior to 1870 the silk importations at
San Francisco were insignificant in
amount, the September report of that
year showing that only 120 packages,
valued at 100000, had been received,
against 1876 packages, valued at $315,-
962, received at New York. For the
same month the next year the balance
was in favor of San Francisco, the i'm
portations to that port being valued at
1861, 900, and those at New York at
$177,277. In September, 1872, the val
ues were 1898, OPS to San Francisco, and
1902, $50 to New York. The silk,
whether received at New York or San
Francisco, is used almost altogether by
Eastern manufactures.
