Lemons and Silver.

The native jewellers of India never
touch sllverware with any abrasive
substance For all articles of the
kind, even the most delicate, the
method of cleaning is by rubbing brisk
ly with slices Of juicy lemons. For
delicate jewelry the Indians cut a large
lime nearly in hall, and insert the orna-
ment they then close up the halves
tightly, and put it away for few hours.
The articles are then removed, rmsed
in two or three waters. and consigned
to a saucepan of nearly boiling soap
suds, well stirred about, taken out,
again brushed, rinsed, and finally
dried on a metal plate over hot water,
finishing the process by a little rub of
wash-leather Of smooth work For
very old, neglected, and corroded silver,
the article is dipped, with slow stir
ring motion, in a rather weak solution
of cyanide of potassium ; but this pro-
cess requires care and practice, as 1t Is
by dissolving off the dirty silver the
effect is so obtained. Green tamarind
pods Containing oxiate of potash are
greater detergents of gold and silver
articles than lemons, and are much
more employed by the artisan for the
removal of oxides ana fire marks.

A paubury Excitement.

A horse attached to the cart of tin
peddler, while on Balmforth avenue,
on Friday, became startled by some
thing, and ran away at speed that
was marvellous in tin-peddler's horse.
The wagon was old and rickety, and
the horse did not appear to be in q
better condition of repairs, but both
of them got through that avenue with
awful velocity, the former hopping its
spine, and shaking its head, and
throwing its heels uproariously,
while the latter reeled from one
side the road to the other, bounding
from rut to rut, and threw an invoice
of old Junk and new tin ware at every
heave. One old lady was caught
around the neck by pair OF satlnet
pants and nearly choked to death, and

ed over the head of "a man who was
telling a neighbor what his mother
rubbed on sprains, and so frightened
him that he fell over a barre, and put
both of his ankles out of JOINT, and was

those forms and hues that constitute
pure organic beauty. She displays
them very sparingly under ordinary
circumstances, that we may not be
wearied by their stimulus, and thereby
lose our susceptibility to agreeable inn
pressions from homely objects. But
at certain times and during very short
neriods she seems to exert all her pow
ers to fascInafe the senses 1t is when
in these moods that she wreathes the

of Geueral w. Ii. Lyle, of Ohio, killed
while attempting to reinforce General
Thomas. in 1861 ucae tho following
language g He was killed, far in adj
vance of his com mand, while calamity
leading an assault upon our lines, and
the steed and his dead rider were both
captured. SO soon as 1T was known
that the author of that rare poem, as
familiar and as greatly admired South
as North, &C am dying, Egypt, dying, "
lay dead in the camp, officers and men
crowded around to take last look at
the face of the poet soldier who had
achieved so great a literary triumph.
There was no rejoicing over the death
of this fallen enemy but there was III
truth something on each soldiers cheek
that for the moment washed away the
stains of powder. Tenderly they took
him up, and when the battle was over
an escort of honor, appointed from
among the leading Confederate officers,
bore him back to his own camp, under
flag of truce, on q rudely constructed
funeral bier, with his martial cloak
around him. In life he had touched
that chord of human sympathy which
makes all the world kin-and III death

resentment, and thrilled the hearts
alike of friends and foes with noblel
passion than hatred or revenge"

Hints for E'ruit-Groyver

The orchard trees, though but few
of them are Indigenous, constitute one
of the most important groups, consid
cred as objects of beauty, to say moth
ing of their utility The most of this
class of trees belong to the natural
order of rosaceous plants, among which
are some of the faireSt ornaments of
northern chimes. Such are the cherry,
the peach, the apple, the pear, also the
mountain ash and its allied species
down to the mespilus and hawthorn.
These trees are suggestive of the farm
and its pleasant appurtenances, rather
than of rude nature; but so closely
allied is nature to the farm, when
under the care of a simple tiller of the
soil, and unbedizened by taste, that its
Accomplishments seem a rightful part
of her domain. The simplicity of the
rustic farm is IL consonance with the
fresh, glowing charms of Nature her
self. A row of apple trees overshadov
ing the wayside forms an arbor IL
which the rural deities might revel a;
in their own sylvan retreats ; and Ma
| ture wears a more charming appear
arce, when, to her own rude costume
she adds a wreath twined by the rosy
| fingers of Pomona. The flowers of the
orchard trees are invariably white OIL
crimson, or different shades of these
two colors combined. Those of thu
cherry trees and the plum tree are con
stantly white; those of the pear tire,

A horse which gnaws his mapger,
neckyoke or halter can be furnished
with something which will bite back,
by mixing cayenne pepper with syrup.

except with water, and is always ready

Many horses are called little foun

will remark: "'The old man gave him
hard one to day." while in fact the
horse was only stretching out the cords
of his neck; and then, to
make the matter still worse, the
ignoramus ties the halter still shorter,
so as to make him stand up to the stall.
(That action was All error, for if you
gag him up" and then let nature re-
store the equilibrium, you will in a
short time create contraction in the
cords of the neck and shoulders, and
the horse shows a stiffness, which aD-

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Ripening Pears.

Josiah Hooper furnishes some excel
lent directions on picking and ripening
pears. After abiding to the common
test of ripeness for picking, namely,
gently raising the fruit to see if it will
readily det,tch itself at the stem, he
directs that the specimens be placed
thinly and evenly on the floor of cool
room, on blanket previously spread,
and then covered with a second blan-
ket. He says: & In short time the
effect of the treatment will be apparent
IN the most golden oiored Bartletts
and rich, ruddy looking Seekels imag
Unable. Pears perfected in this manner
rarely have the mealiness of their nat
urally rlpened companions, nor do they
prematurely decay at the core, as when
left on the tree"

Late Planting Strawberries,

E'he Rural Home has the following
iudicious hints on this subject:
We nave more or less inquiries every
season about transplanting strawber-
ries in summer and autumn, the best
time, &c, sc We would say that the
best tine of all to make new planta-
tions Is in the month of April, or III
late seasons, the early part of May.
But there are circumstances that will
Justify transplanting the latter part OF
the season. If the owner of a garden
has no bed of Strawberries to bear next
summer, we would advise setting one
just as soon as good plants can be OBJ
tanned, and the ground is moist.
There Is great difficulty in procuring
plants for setting in August or Septem-
Der. Every grower of plants for mar
ket knows that to dig up any before
the season OF growth is over, will
destroy many unless a good deal of
care is exercised Every runner that
issues from the original plant, will
start leaves and strike root every few
inches in its growth, and continue to
do so, if net broken, until growth is
arrested by cold weather. After new
,,iant,, havo formed uIunsy tho runno,,
it soon ceases to depend upon the
original plant, but draws its sustenance
from the latest ones formed hence, if
we dig up the first roots, leaving two
or three of those most recently rooted,
the runner will continue TO grow and
strike roots, and none be destroyed 10y
by the digging But this requires d
good deal of care, and greatly aug.
ments the cost of digging, SO that nur
serymen must have much. higher prices
for their plants to compensate them
for their extra labor.
New plantations made i'll April, i
well cared for, ought to be able to fur
nish good strong plants this month
and we would advise any reader who
wishes to plant bed for family ust
| this season, to prepare 1T well, immedi
ately engage the plants, and whe1
a showery time comes, set them will

Peaches and Sectarines Grown Under
CHING.

The art of growing peaches aud nee
tarines under glass has been practiced
with much success for many years by
Thomas j. Pullen, of Hightstown, N.
j., and his father, the late Isaac Put
len. In England, this is called orchard
house culture. 1t is difficult art, and
very few succeed in it with anything
like profitable result. Mr. Pullen,
however, every year exhibits and sells
large quantity of magnificent fruit
from his forcing houses. We yester-
day saw some specimens of Stanwick
nectarine, grown under glass by Mr..
Pullen, which were really superb in
size and color. Also some Crawford S
late and old nixon free peaches, grown
IN the same way, which are rarely su +
passed under any kind of culture. =

Want of VITALITY.

If a deficiency of vital energy is not a disease in

no water utterly free from injurious particles;

forces of the body have been reckessly expended in
exhaueting physical mental labor, or dissipated

vegetable tonic and corrective will restore them.
If the defective vitality is constitutional evil, 1t can
