4 BE,yTIrrL REriEcrIoS.-The fol-
Lowing beautiful passage is from Bull
wer:
Icannot believe ii,a, earth is mans
abiding place. 1t cannot he that our
life is cas-; out upon the ocean of eter-
nifty to float, for moment, upon the
waves and sink into nothingness. Else
why is it that the glorious aspirations
which leap like angels from the temple
of our hearts are forever wandering
about unsatistied?
Why is it that the rainbow and clouds
conc over us with beauty that is not
OH earth, and then pass off and leave us
to muse on their loneliness.
Why is it that the starswho hold their
festival around the midnight throne, are
set above the grasp of our limited fac
ulties, forever hooking us with their
un approachable glory? And, finally,
why is ii that bright forms of human
beauty arc presented to our vie" and
then taken from us, leaving the thou
sands streams of our affections to flow
in Alpine torrents upon our hearts? We
are born for higher destiny than that
on earth; there is realm where the
rainbow never fades; where the stars
will be spread out before us like the is
land that slumbers in the ocean, and
where the beings that pass before like
shadows will stay in our presence for
ever.

A PRETTY WAY TO TRAIN FUcH1As.-
When slip has grown six or eight in.
ches high, nip out the top down to the
last set of leaves. 1t will then throw
out branches on each side. Let these
grow eight or ten inches, then nip them
out as before; the tops of each branch,
when grown the same height as the
others, nip out again. Then procure a
stick of about the size of your finger,
eighteen inches in length, take hoop
skirt wire, Irvine back an forth alternate
~ through holes made in the stick equal
distances apart, place this firmly in the
pot at the back of the plant, tie the
branches to it, and you will have, when
in flower, beautiful and very graceful
plant. Having one trained in that way
last season, it was the admiration of all
who saw it.

Conn FOR FuEL.-We are glad to see,
SAYS Council Bluffs paper, that many
of our citizens are taking advantage OF
the low price of corn to lay in heavy
supplies of it for fuel. We have ex-
peiimented with the last week, and find
that it is an admirable substitute for
both wood and coal, and that at pres
ent prices there is both economy and
comfort III its use.
A ton of corn SO bushels, at II cents
per bushel, is So 60. We consider this
equal to cord OF hard wood, as sup
piled and measured in our markets, at
81, the cutting of this cord 81 5O-to-
tai. $3.50. Thus making saving of
nearly three dollars a cord.
For kitchen fuel it is superior to
wood, except hickory, and cheaper than
that. 1t makes very hot fire with a
great deal of blaze. We Judge that
three tons Of corn are equal to the heat
of one ton of hard coal, which in econ
omy of its use it is equal to one and q
half tons of coal. In small families
and small houses there is always great
waste of hard coal, while there is none
in the use of corn. Besides this, there
is the public benefit of retaining in the
country all the money we send to Penn
sylvania for coal, and feed our farmers
by consuming their products.

BEST TINE FOR PAIN TING HOUSES. The
best time for painting the exterior of
buildings is !ate in Au.um or during the
Winter. Paint then applied will en-
dure twice as long as when applied in
early Summer or in hot weather. In
the former it dries slowly and becomes
hard, like glazed surface, not easily
affected afterward by the weather on
worn off by the beating of storms.
But in very hot weather the oil soaks
into the wood at once, as into sponge,
leaving the lead nearly dry and ready
to crumble off. This last difficulty,
however, might in measure be guard
ed against, though at an increased ex-
pense, by first going over the surface
with raw oil. By painting in cold
weather one annoyance might certainly
be escaped, namely, the collection of
small flies on the fresh paint.

KEEPING HENs.-In general singing
hen is laying hen; certainly q happy
hen will carry out the adage just as a
comfortable, contented COW is good
mixer. And this is the secret of both
COW and hen. Feed we'll, treat well,
and you make happy and contented.
A company of hens, therefore, must not
be crowded; must not be cold, must
not suffer from bad or insufficient food.
A hen must not be disturbed or annoy
ed in any way. 1t must not suffer
from foul water, but must have clean
water at all times. 1t must have adjust
spot to wallow in; quiet retreat to lay
its eggs, and an easy. pleasant place to
roost. 1t must have plenty of light.
All this makes Summer for the hen,
Summer in Winter. And what will
prevent it from laying, singing and lay
ing? Any breed will do we'll, some bet
:er than others. Never keep a hen till
t is old, either for it's flesh or its eggs.
Hens thus treated will never fail to

CORRECT WAY 10 SWEEP A CARPET

There are three ways to sweep car
net one right and two wrong ways.
One wrong way is to hold the broom
nearly in front of the operator, with
the handle inclined backward towards
him, then press down as forward
thrust is given, and thus heave the heaye
iar dirt halfway cross the room, Will
the light particles are sent whlrlinS
about. covering, as it settles, every ar
ticle of furniture. Another wrong way
to sweep carpet is to move the broom
forward with a heavy, drawing strokes
by which the material to be removed is
pressed into the carpet rather than
worked gently along on the surface.
IF either Of these wrong ways Is adopt
ed. the broom will wear out the carpet
more than it is worn by the occupant,
of the dwelling. When a sweeper col
lec.s dust-pan half-full OF the nap OF
the carpet every time it is swept n new
one will soon be required. The right
way to sweep is to incline the handle a
little forward, then give q light draw
inc stroke, allowing the broom TO
scarcely touch the carpet. Not one
half the weight OF the broom should be
allowed to press on the carpet, as the
dirt is moved and rolled along lightly.
If a generous quantity of fairgrounds.
small bits of wet paper, or clean and
wet saw-dust can be spread over the car
pet before the sweeping is commenced,
all the fine dirt will adhere to the
wet materials. A little smart woman
who is a terror to dirt will frequently
hurl it about the room as if it were i'm
PEELED by whirlwind, and when the
task is ended the dust-pan will contain
scarcely enough to pay for sweeping.
But by using good broom having a
long, elastic brush touching the carpet
lightly. it will scarcely require the
strength of child to sweep large par
lor in q few minutes. Scarcely one
housekeeper in fifty understand how to
sweep carpet correctly.
