When Johns wife and Mrs. StniIax put
their heads together something is going tn
happen. They never blurt out a project,
and ge. their husbands backs up. They
undermine them, slowly but surely.
Smilax noticed that when John and his
wife called in Of an evening that John
wife and Mrs Smilax had Cood deal to
say about music. These little conyersa-
tions were jnterSpersed with the most
laudatOry remarks upon the voice and
method Of Miss Bella Bettiny, the soprano
tended. The personal merits and the do
mestic charms Of Miss Bella Beltiny were
alluded TO, and So from mere mention of
her name John and SmilaX became familiar
with all those sacrifices which Bella made
to support her elderly aunt and a brother,
who had an unhappy facility of keeping
himself and all his relatives in hot water.
When the two gentlemen had been suili-'
cjcntly imbued with sense of the self
sacrificing life which Miss Bella led, John ;
wife very quietly hin!ed that something
ought to be done for her. The sympa-
thctic John said Yes and the mere
cautious Smilax acGuiesccd.
Let US give her complimentary con
cert said Johns wife, in such IN clectri-
cal manner that it appeared as if this idea
had suddenly flashed upon her.

Smiax looked up, and the eyes of Jnliu's
wife were upon him. He didn't exactly
quail, but when johns wife proposes to
rivet any one by her glances, the:e is a
sense of l0Oseness about the scalp. SmilaX

TIE JEWS IN ITALY.-Dr Berliner has
published an article in the J,ldiSche Presse
describing the condition of the Jews in
Italy. There are five synacngurs in Rome,
TIVE, Of which belong to the Spanish and the
rest to the Italian rite. They are called
Scuoladel Tempio, (which is said to have
existed ut Rome since the time of Titus)
Catalina, Castilinao, Sizilano, and Scuola
Nova. All these synagogues are in one
building, but they all have separate en-
frances from different streets. The reason
of this is that the Inquistion would only
allow one separate synagogue in Rome, and
it was only with great difficulty and by
means of a lavish expenditure of money
that permission was obtained tn retain the
rest on condition that they should all be
lodged in the same building. The Talmud
was on the Index of the Iuquisition, and
none of the synogogucs were allowed to
have even single copy of it. There are
altogether 4.560 Jews Rome, most of whom
are in a destitute condition.

SUFFERING INDIA.-A correspondent
of the London Ne,rS, in letter TO that
paper descriptive of the Indian famine,
says: The scarcity spreads over wide
track alon. the foot of the Himalayas
boundaries of Nepaul, stretching from
Dude To near Darjerling, remote districts
removed from the railroads and other
means uf communication. and difficult OF
approach. Lord Northbrook informs me
that the most serious distress is threatened
in fifteen districts IN addition to- the Texas,
comprising total population of26 .UOO,OO0.
This is not all. Twelve other districts.
with I4UJO. COO people, are threatened, and
are described as almost entirely without
rnads and water. The coolies and labOrers
feel the pinch most, owing to tie total
suspension of work in the rice fields. The
government contemplated prior 10 the out
break of the distress, certain public works.
First. irrigating canals; secondly. the
Northern Bengal Railroad and, lastly,
the cmbanknent of the Gunduck river.
In the first named. $4,000 laborers have
been employed. Their wages were paid,
aud money exchanged for food at the ad
iacent government store. Lord North
brdok says the government has arranged
tor sufficient food till May. with large re-
serves to meet any contingency.
The calculations are based on former
famines, but it seems doubtful whether
they will prove adequate, ewing to the
fact that in previous famines large num-
hers died without asking for relief. The
district at present is more remote. and
transportation is growing difficult for want
nf food fir the cattle" The correspondent
concludes as follows From what have
seen since my arrival I believe: First
That neither the government nor people
can tell the precise actual position, nor
prnannsticate the future. Secondly. The
government is most fully alive to it's re-
spnnsibiliiy. and measures have been taken
To fully cope with the difficulties. Thirdly.
The absence of railroads in the remote dis
trcis is mostly dreaded. as the government
is thus without means for the avoidance of
grave obslacles.''

Select poetrn.
From IIarper's Magazine for March,
LOVE AMONG THE GRAVES.


Twenty years ago, in the gladsome weather.
In this silent city's woodland bound,
Love and |, with buoyant step together,
Careless wandered round
Wandered round and through the winding alley
Brave with arbor Vita, woodbine, rose,
Fragrant on the hills and in the valleys
OF the sacred close.
Little rocked we of the mystic meaning
(lIidden meath the blue forget me -nots)
Of the tear-sowr seeds for heavenly cleaning
In these garden Plots
Little rocked we of diviner blessing
Than offspring time Nor could sorrows fac,
Deeply move us, in the fond caressing
OF our souls embrace,
In the quickcncd flash of answering glances.
In the tender touch of loving hands,
in the joyous pulse that gayly dances
As loves flower expands!
In our full absorption could we listen,
To low minor tones, and we so glad ;
Something in our eyes made tears to glisten,
But they were not sad.
No! the fount of loves o'erhowing treasure
Is not btter-aud our hearts relief
Was as Sittering dewdrop, in the measure
OF the chaIiced grief,
Which encompassed as in carven glory
Here and there a simple myrtle boss
Telling with more pathos the same story
OF some aching loss.
Fair scuiptHred city rose before us
Bright the grasses tri@ked the buried gloom.
After twenty years. what may restore us
That pervading bloom
Now, the lifted shafts make level shadows
With the graves they cover in their pride;
All the starry wealth Of the green meadows
Serves not Death to hide!
Yet the city stands to day as whitley
With its myriad columns in the sun,
And the same fair blossoms smile as brightly,
Fragrant, every one;
But our hearts are shadowcd By their losses.
Earthly treasure shows its taint of rust,
And not vain the stOried stone embosscs
Its imprisoned dust.
Now, the shroudcd meaning helps to hold US
Not alone the beauty overlayed-
As diviner influences fold MS,
Mingliug shine and shade.
Now, no more as once in sunny weather
Twenty years ago, among the sweets,
Could unmindful Love and together
Thread these wooded streets.

Cleaning Kid Gloves.

During the warm weather kid gloves are easily
soied, particularly IS the prevailing coiors are
quite light, and as it costs some time and money
to have them cleaned at the dyers We let our read
ers into the secret of cleaning them at home,
which can be done just as we'll il paid for out
side. Take little sweet milk and a piece of
white or brown soap. Fold a clean towel three or
four times, spread it over your dress and spread
out the glove smoothly upon it. Take large
piece of white flannel, dip 1t into the milk, then
rub it upon the soap and rub the glove dow q ard
toward the fingers, holding the wrist of it by the
left hand. CONTINUE this process until the glove,
is white, looks of dingy yellow, bat IL colored
looks dark and emit ely spoiled. Now let it dry
and then put it on your hand and il will he soft,
smooth, glossy aud clean. Take care, however,
to omit no pait of the glove in rubbing it, and see
that all the so'led parts are thoroughly cleaned
This process applies only to white and colored kid
gloves. For BLACK gloves that are soiled, turned
white and otherwise injured, take teaspoonful OF
salad oil, drop few drops of ink into it, and rub
it oil over the gloves with the tip OF feather;
then let them dry in the sun. White kid boots
and slippers can also be cleaned by the hrst pro-
cess to look "as good as new, and black kid boots
and slippers be restored to their pristine gloss
by the latter method.-Rendthg Eagle.

Seven hundred and hfty Danish and
Swedish Mormons arrived at New York
Monday. in the steamship Idaho, en- route
for Salt Lake City. The Herald says of
them;
'From ply sical point of view, better
class OF emlgrants probably never landed
here than those $50 Mormoas. The thickest
rouge could not equal the brilliant color of
their rough cheeks, and no artificial means
we're necessary to enhance the beauty OF
their forms. Some OF the women ami chill

out there were boys and girls here who
really came up TO tnem, or even surpassed
taem: real cherubs, with such monstrous
little arms aud legs IS one would never nd
on Madison avenue or in the Iirst rate ho-
tells in Saratoga. The women had pretty
light hair, but the little girls, 1t was delight
to look at their sweet golden hair, SO rich
and soft, so exqulslteiy beautiful. One
reads in novel great deal of golden hair. 4.

But these are not the only figures which

their mothers. Their dress Is picturesque
In the extreme, The Mormons looked
rather happy. The married men had each
only one wife with them, reserving for the
future the joys OF polygsmy."
