SONG AND STORY.

By JOHN NcCREpDY.
sad bird Of night, what sorrow calls thee forth
To vent thy plants thus In the midnight h0nrf
Is ii some blast that gathers Ia the north,
Threat'ning to nip the verdure Of thy b0wer7
Ia II, sad owl, that autumn strips the shade,
And leaves thee here uusheitered and forlorn7
or fear that winter VIII thy rest invade?
OR friendless melancholy bids thee mourn?
Shut out, lone bird from all the feathered train,
To tell thy sorrows 20 the unheeding gloom,
No ffiend to pity when thou dosf complain,
Grief all thy thought, aud solitude thy home.
Sing on, sad mourner / win bless thy strain,
And, pleas'd IN sorrow, listen 10 thy song;.
Sing on, sad mourner! 90 the night ,mplaln,
While the lone echo waits thy notes along.
Is beauty less when down the glowing cheek
Sad, piieOus tears In native sorrow fall?
Less kind the heart when anguish bids II break?
Less happy he who lists 10 PHYS cal?
An, no, sad owl! nor is thy voice less sweet,
That sadness tunes it, and that grief IS there,
That Springs gay notes, unskilled, thou cans'l
repeat, SCI.
That sorrow bids thee TO the gloom repair.
Nor that the treble scngsters OF the day
Are quite esuanged, sad bird OF night, from thee
Nor that the thrush deserts the evening spray
When darkness calls thee from tiny reyeries
From some ola tower, thymelancholy dome,
While the gray walls. and desert spItudes
.Ils,urR-each note responsive TO tho gloom
OF iyied coye,ts aud surrounding woods,
There hooting-I will list more pleas d TO thee
Than ever lUyer 10 the nightinglle
or dropping wretch, oppressed WIN misery,
Lending his ear 10 some condoling tale.

THE REASON WHY.-Why does
boiling fast render meat hard?
because the excessive action Of
heat cau.es the albumen of the meat
to set solid, crisps up the aeshy fibres,
and prevents heat having a gradual
access to the interior.
WHY, when good soup or broth is
requil ed, should the meat be put in
to cold water?
Because, as the heat is developed
very gradually, there occurs an inter
mixture between the juice of the flesh
and the external matter. The solu-
bic and savory parts of the meat es-
cape and enrich the soup.
What causes the cracking noise
when lard is put into frying pan?
Lard always contains some portion
Of water, and it is the expansion Of
this water into steam, forcing its way
through the fat, which causes the
cracking noise. The heat at which
fat or oil boils is much greater than
the water. When the cracking
ceases, the water has been driven of
from the fat, and when the fat begins
to boil or bubble, its heat will be
very high.
Why, in frying fish, should the fat
or oil be made very hot before the
fish are put in?
Because, if the temperature Is low
when the fish Is put into the frying
pan, it becomes sodden in the steam
formed by its water, but ifthe oil be
very much heated the water will be
driven of, and the fish nicely brown
ed by the scorching oil.
Why should fish or meat that are
being fried be frequently turned:
Because the turning assists the
evaporation of the water. When the
fish or meat is allowed to lie too long
steam is generated under it, and the
substance becomes sodden and the
moment the steam is driven off, the
surface catches to the hot pan, and
becomes burnt and broken.
Why is broiled meat so juicy and
savory?
Because the action Of the fire,
hardening its surface. seals up the
pores through which the juice might
escape. 1t acts in the same way that
the sudden dip into boiling water
does upon joints OF meat, but more
efectually. To turn broiling meat
never use a fork, but tongs; a fork
opens an escape for the juice, and
wastes the best part of the meat.
Why is cabbage rendered more
wholesome and nutritious by being
boiled in two waters?
Because according to DIR. Paris,
cabbage contains an essential OIL
which is apt to produce bad effects,
and he recommends that they should
he boiled in two successive waters till
they are soft and digestible. .-Adhurs

VARNIsH BY EvAPoRATION.-Gut-
tapercha dissolved in ether is said, by
DR., Hoffman, to make an admirable
transparent varnish for pictures and
other sensitive objects of taste. Up
on being applied to surface theeth-
er evaporates, leaving an exceedingly
delicate and scarcely visible film,
which can be washed with moist
cloth without harm. Applied to
fine drawings through vaporizer,
this composition renders them inefia'
caeble.

to the neace'of our Church, but OF

it is taking multiplied thousands of
dollars from the farmers without re-
turning them value received. Far

with railroad monopolies; up with
the grange" hence they are going
into it by thousands. Certainly they
could go into nothing more foreign to
accomplish their purpose. Many

Look at the expense of the thing. 1t
takes s321.50 to organize and run a
lodge one year. The farmers virtual
ly admit, by going thus to the grange,
that they are not competent TO run
business. The wire-workers Of the
order say, "Mr. Farmer, give $500
or $500, as the case my be, and we
will take you into partnership, and
help you to sell your wheat, corn,
hogs, and cattle" 1t is one of the
grandest swindles ever devised, and
ought to be preached against, prayed

possible, put down. May God speed

DECISION OF AN IRISH JUSTICE
The following story comes from Ire
land: Two men had quarrel in a
liquor shop. They adjourned out
side to settle the dispute The first
man being from Connaught, immedi-
ately seized lump Of stone and let
fly at the head of his opponent, who
dipped his head and missed the stone,
which went through an extensive
plate glass window, and did much
damage. A magistrate was called
on next morning to determine which
of the two should pay the cost. The
evidence clearly showed that the aim
was a good one, and that if the sec
ond man had not dipped his head he
would have been struck. There
fole," said the magistrate, che must
pay the damages, as it is certain the
first man didn't intend to injure the
window, and the window would not
have been injured if it had not been
for the act Of the second man."
