ONE BIZ ONE.
By MARY MAPEs DODGE.

Two little girls are better than one;
Two little boys can double the fun;
Two little birds can build a fine nest,
Two little arms can love mother best.
Two little ponies must go TO a span;
Two little pockets has my little man.
Two little eyes to open and close,
Two little ears and one little nose,
Two little elbows, dimpled and sweet,
Two little shoes.on two little feet;
Two little lips and one little chin,
Two little cheeks with q rose shut in;
Two little shoulders, chubby and strong,
Two little legs running all day long.
Two little prayers does my darling say,
Twice does he kneel by my side each day
Two little folded hands, soft and brown,
Two little eyelids cast meekly down
And two little angels guard him in bed,
"one at the foot, and one at the head"
81. Nicholas for September.

IMPORTANCE OF WHOLESOME BEDS.
Sleep to the working man is emphat.
ically natures restorer relnvigorating
the physical system, which through
much toll has become weary, and keep
ing up that flowof life and spirits which
are necessary to the performance of the
arduous duties of farm life. A comfort
able bed, as we are all aware, conduces
greatly to ones rest. On this subject a
recent writer says:
OF the eight pounds which a man eats
and drinks, in a day, it is thought that
not less than five pounds leave his body
through the skin. And of these five
pounds a considerable percentage e.
capes during the night while he is in
bed. The larger portion of this is wa
ter, but in addition there..is much effete
and poisonous matter. This being in
great part gaseous in form, permeates
every part of the bed. Thus all parts
of the bed, mattress and blankets as we'll
sheets, soon become foul and need puri-
fication.
The mattress needs the. renovation
quite as much as the sheets. To allow
the sheets to be used without washing
or changing, three or six months, would
be regarded as bad housekeeping ; but
Insist if a thin sheet can absorb enough
of the excretions of the body to make it
unfit for use in a few days, a thin mat
tress, which can absorb and retain a
thousand times as much of these poison
Gus e%xhalations, needs to be purified as
often certainly as once in three months.
A sheet can be washed. A mattress
cannot be renovated in this way. In
deed there is Nc way of cleansing a mat
tress but by steaming it, or picking it
to pieces, and thus by fragments expos
ing it tothe raysof the SUI. As these pro-
cesses are scarcely practicable with any
of the ordinary mattresses, 1 am de-
Ciucuis VI lHC oPiuiob 1hae eho Soou oiu
fashioned straw bed, which can every
three months be changed for fresh
straw, and the tick be washed is the
sweetest and healthiest of beds.
If, in the wintry season, the porous
ness of the straw bed makes it a little
uncomfortable, spread over it a CON-
forter or two wooden blankets, which
should be washed as often as every two
weeks. With this arrangement, if you
wash all the bed coverings as often as
once in two or three weeks, you will
have a delightful healthy bed.
Now if you leave the bed to air, with
open windows during the day, and not
make it up for the night before evening,
you will have added greatly to the sweet
ness of your rest, and, in consequence,
to the tone of your health.

ALL ABOUT CREMATION.

With some people cremation is only
a question of time. If it don't come in
this world it is sure to come in the next.
Charles Williams, of Portland, Me-,
has been burned out seven times during
the past year, and he is now opposed to
cremation.
A king of Babylon ordered cremation
for his subjects, and built for that pur-
pose the first furnace but Messrs.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego
wouldn't cremate.
1t is calculated that if the body Of
each of the 26O,673 persons who died
in the United States in 1870 was allowed
a full-sized grave, the whole would oc-
cupy 202 acres. If they were cremated
the ashes would make excellent manure
for about n thousand acres.
We lit the poor fellow at dead of night,
The carcass continually turning,
In order that every side might get its share
{ this new patent process burning.
No pelting rain-storm came wetting the pile
q ( faggots to which We had bound him;
No Babcock Extinguisher deadened the glare
That formed such a halo around him.

Benny's Questions.
What is the kitty good for7
My Little boy Benny said.
To catch the mice in the pantry
When they nibble mammals bread,
To sit on the rug in the sunshine,
To play with her little toes,
And if Kitty is good for anything else,
1t is more than mamma knows.
What is the moody COW good for,
Mamma ? I'd like to know.
To eat green grass in the pastures
Where the meadow lilies grow,
To give us sweet golden butter,
Rich milk, and yellow cream,
And a great many more good presents
Than Benny could even dream.
What are the busy bees good for
To sting little boys? asked he.
There is many q lesson my boy could learn
From even 3 busy bee.
For be works all day in the summer
Laying sweet treasures by
For the long cold days that are coming,
When roses and violets die.
What is old Rover good for?
I'm sure l cannot see.
To teach my Benny how patient
Even a brute can be;
To watch papa's house at midnight,
When the lamps ar, sl out in the street,
so. BENNY. take care of good Rover

4 REVOLUTIONARY MOTHER.

Among the heroes of the American
Revolution there was not one nor
worthy of honor than Col. Clement Bid
die, of Philadelphia. Descended from
the old Quaker stock, he was early and
earnest in his espousal of the of
the liberty OF the colonies, and among
the first and most Jealous in arms. He
raised the first Quaker" company for
the war, of which he was elected COM
mander before the corps joined the
main army. When Congress had Or
dered the establishment of a "fying
camp" of 1000 men, to be furnished
by Pennsylvania, Col. Biddle, on ac-
count of his peculiar qualifications for
the position, vas appointed Quarter
MASTER General. He took part in the
battle Of Trenton, and as q distinction
for his bravery he was selected by Gen.
| Washington to receive the swords of
the captured Hessian officers. He was
at Princeton, at the Br~andywine. at
| Germantown, at Monmouth, and shared
in the sutferings at Valley Forge. His
brother Owen was also engaged, heart
and soul, in the battle for freedom.
At n soiree given in Philadelphia by
a distinguished merchant, just before
the commencement of open hostilities
between the colonies and the mother
country, a British officer, with much
assurance, remarked:
at would be foolish for the Ameri-
cans to go to war. They could accom-
plish nothing but their own destruc-
ton. Who can they expect to find to
lead them against our veteran gener-
ais 2"
Mrs. Biddle, the mother of Clement
and Owen, was present, and instantly
and warmly replied:
"Sir, we shall find no difficulty. /
have sons who can fight in so righteous
a canse, and if they can find no other
leader L will myself conduct them to
battle"
Who can wonder that, with such
mothers, American liberty was secured?
The London Lancet asserts that night
work is not injurious to adults under
certain conditions. The hours of sleep
should never be curtailed, and the light
should be white, powerful, steady, and
concentrated by a shade upon the work.
1t argues that an insufficient, Pickering
or too diffused light is n of the most
serious causes in producing brain irri.

THE idea of postal cards is attributed
to DR.. Emanuel Herman, a professor in
Vienna, Austria. They were intro
dueed into England, Germany, and
Switzerland in 1870, into Belgium and
Denmark in 1871, and into Norway and
Russia in 1872. In Germany, Holland,
and Belgium they also issue a double
postal card, a card being attached for

a BOLD TRICK

&C Bowen, who, since Moses has
changed tactics, was appointed one of
the Commissioners of Election in Char
lesion. along with Hoyt and a colored
man, has indicted Mayor Cunningham
for official misconduct. es
What this official misconduct is has
not yet transpired, but suffice it to say.
j that public opinion would never con.
denim man with the honest record. Of
Mayor Cunningham upon the mere
charge of a miserable creature. who
was cashiered from the Confederate
army for forging pay rolls.
The truth, probably, is, that Gun

who can and will thwart Bowens des.
igns, and he wants to paralyze his influ

Mayor Cunningham also took a con

and seems to give preference to the
