Egg Veg.

A. soon As day broke, people began to
stir. and to begin to stir, means, to most
Of our citizens, to make q break for the
nearest saloon for a cocktail. Arriving
there, their eyes Toasted on the rotund,
Jolly punch bowl. filled to the brim with
the eIhilaratins egg-nog. To see was to
desire, To desire WAS TO taste, TO taste
was to roll the eyes and smack the lips,
and then-to taste again. We regret to
say that egg nog had more charms for
the majority Of bachelors, and even the
Benedicts Of our population, than the
divine services which were held in the
Catholic and Episcopal churches in the
morning.

One pound Of green copperas,
costing seven cents, dissolved in
one quart of water, and poured
down a water closet, will effectually
concentrate and destroy the foul
smells. On board ships and steam
boats, and about hotels and other
places there is nothing so nice to
purify the air. Simple green cop
peras, dissolved in anything under
the bed, will render a hospital or
other places for the sick free from
unpleasant smells. In fish mar
kets, slaughter-houses, sinks and
wherever there are offensive gases,
dissolve copperas and sprinkle it
about, and in a few days the smell
will pass away. If a cat, rat OF
mouse dies about the house and
sends forth an offensive gass, place
some dissolved copperas in an open
vessel near the place where the
nuisance is, and it will purify the
atmosphere. Then keep all clean

A Memory Of Bull Run.

It was at the second battle of
Bull Run that cannon ball carried
off a poor soldiers leg.
"Carry me to the rear !" he cried
to tall Yankee companion, who
had been fighting by his side.
The Yankee caught up the
wounded soldier, and as he was
about to put him across his should
ers another cannon ball carried
away the poor fellows head. The
Yankee, however, in the confusion,
did not notice this, but proceeded
with his burden toward the rear.
"What are you carrying that

Teach Children How TO Earn
and Use Money.

If you are troubled with apertina-
cious child begging for penny,
and are still more perplexed 10y
the request for permission to spend
it at the candy store, so unfortun-
ately convenient to your door, try
giving the little coaxer some other
plan for disposing of the money
that he so loves to handle. First
contrive some way for the penny to
be fairly earned, and then provide
a safe place for depositing it and
give the little financier some pleas
ant plan for its use. One little
blue-eyed darling, not yet four
years old, has a store of pennies
which are his college money" and
his eyes sparkle with pleasure as
il increase, and he talks about the
grand place where his big brother
is going soon, and where he means
to go sometime. Very early, too,
these favored children can learn
the blessedness Of giving Of their
own to the children of want, and
can share in the Christmas festivi-
ties with a heartiness which only
the giver enjoys.

Young America in California.

A Sacramento gentleman lately
saw little boy leaning against a
post in the eastern portion of the
city, putting energetically at full
grown cigar, and succeeding in
drawing from it quite volume Of
smoke. He felt such evident inter-
est in the job he had undertaken,
that the citizen concluded to inter-
view him, and, accordingly, draw
ing a cigar from his pocket, went
up and asked for a light. The boy
acceded to the request with an
assumption of manly courtesy
which he probably had studied
carefully, and seemed to feel graft
fed at attracting attention. Thel

Watering Plants.

This must be attended to as reg
ularly as the morning comes.
Those who do not water regularly
cannot make house plants thrive.
The dry atmosphere of rooms is
always against the health of most
plants when growing freely. A
good plan is to have a peice of oil
cloth beneath the flower stand,
so that the whole stand of plants
may be sprinkled freely at least
once day. Then the vaporation
of the water will supply the air Of
the room with vapor most of the
day. But there is danger of being
to liberal with water in the pots
The soil must not be made solder
or be soaked with water for an!
length of time, except in the cas-
of aquatic plants. Some plant
take up more water than Others
which is indicated by the drynes
; of the surface of the pots.

An Incident of BeyrOOf.

One of the most pathetic instances

my knowledge is related as positive
fact While the children of the Abeih
school were playing together one day
at recess, two small girls fell into a
pleasant dispute as to the size Of GER
tain object -plaything, perhaps. One
said, "Oh, it was so gerry little p and
the other asked, GLOW little ?" Then
the missionary looked out of the win
dow, and heard her answer, "Why, a
little wee thing" Then the other
pressed her still further, "Well, hou
little ?" to which the girl replied, I'M
conscious of the poetry or the pathos
Of her comparison, GAS little as was
the joy of my father on the day was
born !"--Rey. Charles s. Robinson.
