A City Not Made with Hands.

Halfway acros>-this vast, sandy plain
| two or three specks were visible, which I,
our guide Informs US, were salt lakes al
so, that it was from the shores of these
lakes that the Spanards formerly pro-
cured their salt, and even the present in
habitants of the territory used it to large
extent. II said that ia close proximity
to these lakes was a very peculiar sand
stone formation, well worth seeing and,
as all were but few miles distant from
our direct route, we determined to visit
them. Bringing our glasses to bear up
on that portion of the plain pointed out
by our guide, we saw what seemed to US
to be large city, with its spires, and
domes, and towers glittering 10 the bright
sunlight, and rivalling in splendor even
the creations of the genii conjured by
"Aladdin's wonderful lamp"
But We must not liuger longer admis-
ing the wonderful panorama spread out
before US, or we shall fail to reach the
wood and water level before ni.htfall.
We therefore dedcensed the mountsir,
and are once more upon the plain.
Upon reaching beautiful little stream
that comes trickling down the sides of
rocky, cannon, we encamp for the night.
Sunrise again finds US on our journey,
and after hard days jaunt over the
same unchaugeable plain, night brought
us to the first of the lakes whose blue wa
ters had so enchanted US the day pre-
viOus Its shores were white with pure,
crystallized salt, aud we were told by our
guide that cdrettS full were carried away
every year, in its natural state.
The next morning the guide called US
to behold the wonderful effect Of the ris-
ing sun upon the city of enchantment
that We had seen from the mountain the
day before. As We approached this mar
velous architecture of the elements, We
could not repress exclamations, of wonder
and delight. Streets were plainly visible;
massive temples with their spires and
domes monuments of every conceivable
shape castles Of huge proportions tow
ers and minarets, all formed Of pure white
silica, which glittered in the bright sun
light like walls Of crystal. 1t was hard
to persuade ourselves that art had no part
in forming these graceful testimonials to
the wonders of nature.
Surely said DR.. Parker, "that must
be city"
Yes" replied [, IA city, but not made
with hands"
Around the whole was massive wall
ten feet in hight, with arched gate ways
and entrances as perfect as it is possible
for the Imagination Of man to conceive.
Entering the confines of this magical spot,
we were soon undeceived for what in the
distance our imag agination had conceived
to be enchanted ground, was, in reality,
mass of white sandstone, worn by the
winds and waters into wonderful simli-
tude OF magnificent city.

Old Fruit Cans.

Empty tin fruit cans, like old hoop
| skirts, are nuisance when out OF place
The question is: What is their place
and should be willing to answer it a
hundred times, if could Danish them
from the cutters, the ash heaps, the va
cant lots, and, above all, from the hands
of the boys. shudder now at the very
suggestion of their ever being used again
as music boxes, strung with rosined
chords. Did that epidemic visit your 10
cality, my dear r. der? If So you would
be in haste to prevent the slightest posi-
biity Of its rescurrence. But to the
remedy
In the first place, to open the cans
properly, put hot Goals on and around the
little soldered tip on the top, until the
solder melts, then scrape of lid and Goals
together, with table knife. BE careful,
however, not set the cans on the hot stove
before they are opened, by which little
neglect steam enough to burst the can
might be generated, which would not be
a very pleasant or profitable method of
opening it. When opened properly, you
have smooth, round orifce through
which to remove the fruit.
When the cans are empty and dry, in
vert them in hot Goals in the stove for
half minute, or on hot stove, until the
solder melts and loosens the remaining
top of the can ; then strike it off, smooth
off the bits of solder, and you have very
convenient cooking utensil. For lid,
use saucer, or the covers to old tin pint
cups or pals. Rice, wheat, samp, pearl
barley, split peas, and maRy other dishes
for small family, and small dishes for a
large family, can be cooked in them, either
standing directly on the stove, or placed
in large boiler or saucer pan of water,
to prevent the possibility of their burn
ing 1t also saves more costly tin uten-
sils; for this method Of boiling water is
hard on the tinware. Que can may be
kept for onions others can be used for
baking or steaming rye and Indian bread, i,
and some kinds of pudding.
They are also convenient for pantry use,
for holding articles to be used in cook
cry or in the laundry for garden seeds,
for paint pots, and for many other things
that will suggest themselves to every
housekeeper, aud for which indeed they
would long ago have been used but for
the untidy, jagged edge made By the
common method of opening them. If
covers are wanted for them in these capa
cities, discarded rims and lids may be put
together with little soldier.
If there are tin shears at hand, and any
one to use them, the cans may be made
into very passable scoops. Take several
of them at time to a timer, and he will
cut them into the shape for triAe. 1t
saves time to have scoop in every meal
tub, -four barrel, sugar pail, and starch
box La short, old tin cans are far better
for many purposes than for street organs,
or for ornaments to dogs tails. Suppose
we change the tune, and have better
economy, more and higher grade Of
music Science Of Health.

Remedy for Sore Throat.

Take one large, red pepper, such as are
grown for family use steep it in half a
pint of water, alter which strain in quart
of molasses, adding little vinegar boil
all together to thin syrup; use this
whenever the throat feels dry or disagree
able if it be the dead of night, it will
soothe the throat (and not irritate) and
warm it up well. If sharper than can
be borne in the mouth, put it back near
the palate with spoon and swallow ap-
ply out-wardIy thin slice of salt pork
warming it up well in a little vinegar and
pepper; apply as hot as can be borne on
the throat fasteB the bandage that holds
the pork over the head to draw the cold
and inflammation up, and not about the
neck, as most people do.

Joe Bunk Growing Brave.

Joe Bunk got tipsy on lager beer, and
went home announcing his determina
tion to volunteer for the Cuban war. His
wife used various arguments to dissuads
him but he had an answer to all of them
Finally, she brought the matter home to
him
"Would you leave me and the child
rem 2" said she.
"Why, yes, Polly, when my country
calls it is my duty to leave wife, children,
everything behind, and obey tho CALL"
"But look at the hardships you must
bear"
Il can stand them as well as others
DO"
But you might get sick"
"Others get sick tool can stand as
much as they can"
"But you might be put in the front
ranks"
"Well, guess l can stand it as well
as others do"
But" screamed tie wife, who could
see no sense in Joe's stoicism, 1.-THE Gu
bans might kill you"
Joe studied a moment; the question
was evidently a poser. The wife thought
she had struck the right chord at last,
aud again pressed the remark with espe
cial emphasis
"Yes, Joseph, the Cubans might rush
upon you in the midst Of battle and kill
you"
"All right" said Joe, bright idea
stricking him, "all right, my honey, but
| guess 1 can Kill as many Of them as
they can Of me !"

Would be Whipped.

The Rev. Josiah Stearns, of New
Hampshire, was distinguished for the re-
gard to truth, justice and consistency
Having insisted much to his children on
tho importance of frankly confessing
whenever they had done wrong, instead
of making their guilt greater by attempt
ing concealment, on one occasion, when
a fault had been committed, one of the
small boys confessed when he was not
guilty. The truth having come to light,
the child, who probably thought to hp
pear meritorious by confession, was en-,
lightened by the father as to the nature
of his sin, and then chastised for false
hood Being.exceedingly annoyed that
the garden gate was often left open, and
cattle came in and did mischief, Mr..
Stearns said to his children and servants:
The very next person who leaves the
garden gate open must be whipped" Not
many days after the unlucky gate APP
peared in the prohibited condition. Meet.
ing the colored boy, Peter, he said
"Well, Peter, and who has left open the
garden gate now Z" Peter hung his
head. Mr. S. urged his question, till
Peter answered, 81 do not love to tell,
sir" Mr.. S. insisted, when Peter sum
moned up courage to say, at was you,
sir % "Me? Are you sure Z When r.
when you came out of the garden
Cat such a time) "you left it open. ="
"Well, Peter" said Mr.. S, "so and cut
some sticks and lay them over your mas
tcr's shoulders" They boy begged to be
excused, but the master Insisted, and it
was done as required.

ypograph, sends US the following
oliday poem which printers might do
ell to send forth as "gentle remin-
,r"
There is one among the many,
Can you tell me where he stays?
He's an odd, odd-fashioned party,
Called the honest man, who pays
Yes-the honest man who pays
Every dollar he may owe,
Keeping up the good old ways
That so many scarcely know
If he gives his word of promise
'Tis bond as good as gold;
If he hold post of honor
Not trust is ever sold
BY the honest man who pays
Every debt he may incur,
Yielding each just award,
And no grudging or demur.
And Pm told this rare old party
Lives-within his income, won
BY the fairest squaresi dealing
We sec beneath this sun,
And the honest man who pays
Always holds it good and right,
For the rich to help the needy
When the times are tough and tight

The Bylaws of this Company, and the
regulations governing insurance have, re-
Gently been very materially changed. pla-
cling it upon basis equal to that of any

following. viz:

the property.
Premium notes are taken, and all as
sessments are made on the notes.
Property is insured for not more than
two thirds Of its actual cash value. and the
full amount of insurance paid in case of loss,
provided the loss be equal TO the amount Of
insurance.
"Annual assessments" only are made, ex-
cept in cases of heavy loss, and where a
special assessment is necessary.

sure property upon terms much more desira-
Bile than under the old system.

THE STORY OF LIFE.

Saw, what is life? 'Tis to be born.
A helpless babe to greet the light
With a sharp wall, as if the morn
Foretold cloudy noon and night;
To weep. 10 sleep and weep again
With sunny smiles between and then
And then apace the infant grows
To be laughing, sprlghtly boy,
Happy despite his little woes,
Where he but conscious of bis joy
To be in short from two TO ten,
A merry, moody child, and then I
And then in coat and trousers clad,
To learn to say the DecalOgue,
And break it. an unthinkiRg lad,
With mirrh and mischief all agog,
A trusnt oft by field and fen.
And capture butterflies, and then?
And then, increased in strength and size
To be anon, youth full grown;
4 kero in his mother
4 young App0llO IL ais own
To initiate the ways OF Jaen
In fashionable ways and thon
And then at last, To be g man
To fall IN love. to w00 and wed
With seethlne brain t. scheme tue plan
To gather gold or tOli fi1E bread;
To sue TO- fame, wit. .,----s>.s and pen,
And gain or lose the prize, and then
And then in grey and wrinkled Ed
To mourn the speed of life's decline,
To praise the scenes that youth beheld,
And dwell in memory of Lang Syne,
To dream awhile with darkened ken,
Then drop into his grave, and then?
