POETRY.
WINTER SONG.

The winter came with chilling touch,
The poplar tree is bare,
No field has missed the robber clutch
That took its May-gsrb fair
Each blossom, blue, and red and white,
The snow and ice have buried quite.
Yet, lovely flowers your vanished grace
VIII wiring no plAint frsm me;
Fresh blooming in bonnie face
Your beauty still see
The star-gemmed eyes are brightest blue,
Brow white, and lips Of scarlet hue
i care not If in vale and void
No bird-songs now hear,
For Mollie trills hundred fold
More sweet and silver-clear,
Her breath is like the air Of spring
Where hyscinthine odors cling.
When ripe lips yield their fruit most rare
All. then what perfect bliss
No strawberries or cherries e'er
So sweet as Mollies kiss,
oh, May why should pine for thee:
The charms of spring are still for me.
From he German Of Burger.

For All Female Complaints

nothing equals DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. Ii is a most powerful restorative
tonic, also combining the most valuable ner-
vine properties. especially adapting it to
the wants of debilitated ladies suffering
from weak back, inward fever, congestion,
inflammation, or liberation, or from ner-
vousness, or neuralgie pains. Mr. G.. W.
Seymour, druggist, of Canton, " Y, writes
DR.. Pierce as follows: "The demand for
your FavOrite Prescription is wonderful, and
one man stated to me that his wife had not
done days work in FIVE months, when she
commenced taking your Favorite Preserip-
tion, took two bottles and is now on the
third bottle, and is able to do her house
work alone and milk fourteen cows twice A
day." DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription

True Friendship.

As regards private social life, know
no happier phase of it than that which
allows you to have only few intimate
friends, and which does not compel you
to fritter away your hours among host
of acquaintances who have no hearty
regard for you-paying a cold visit
here, a cold visit there, glad when they
are eover-receiving these conventional
visits in return, and uttering common
places the while which are devoid of
meaning and have no suspicion of
earnestness.
Where you have within hail a few
friends between whom and yourself a
sincere esteem existed, room is given.
for earnest feeling to flower; the true
heart glow is felt, and you give and
receive smiles which are not artificial,
and speak and hear words which are
good and glad utterances. In time the
ties which bind you and your friends
grow as strong as ties of blood and
kindred, and when q face is missed
from the circle you mourn for it with
genuine grief and affection.

The Horticult,rist gives an account
of two novelties among flowers which it
is almost tempted to treat as fables
until their verify is established by per-
sonal inspection. The following is the
description of them: "One is BLACK
lily in Santa Clara, CAL, with three
large blossoms, each nine inches long.
and perfectly black outside of the green
petals. The other is to be seen at Con-
stantinOple, and described by an eye
witness as belonging to the narcissus
genus of bulbs. The flower represents
q perfect humming bird. The breast,
of bright emerald green, is a complete
copy of this bird, and the throat, head,
beak and eyes are a perfect imitation.
The hinder part of the body, and the
two outstretched wings, are of bright
rose color, one might almost say flesh
colored. These wonderful bulbs should
have been sent to the Vienna Exhibi-
tion. They will be in abundance by
the time of our Centennial celebration
in 1876.

MANAGING THE GRATE.-To preserve
a fire in the CRATE or furnace over night
there is nothing better than moistened
coal screenings; they are better than
ashes and will not cause the formation
of clinkers. In the morning or at any
time when the fire is low, put on
little coal, let on the draft and after it
has burned up pretty we'll, rake gently
and add more coal. If raked when the
fire is low and dead, it will either go
out or be great while in getting on a
head and producing the necessary
warmth. If clinkers form in CRATE or
stove, throw in few handfuls of clam
or oyster shells, and they will soon be
come so loosened as to be removed
easily without injury TO the friedrich.

To PREVENT THE FREEZING OF WATER
PrPEs.-Any plan for preventing the
freezing of water-pipes during these
cold snaps will be welcome. The fol-
lowing described plan for accomplish
ing this object has been invented in
England
It is well known that when water
freezes it expands, and that the force
exerted is so enormous that no pipe can
resist it. This invention is intended to
give the water a chance to expand with
out bursting the pipe. Itsttempts this
by securing in the inside of the metal
pipe, a space equsl to the difference of
volume between water and ice, so when
the water freezes it occupies the space
reserved for it instead of exerting its
force on the pipe and burstingit. This
is practically carried out by passing
through the water-pipe a small India
rubber tube, specially made for the
purpose, and of such diameter that the
space inside it is a little more than
equal to the increase in volume of the
ice. The India rubber tube is always
full of air, SO that when the water
freezes it finds the necessary space for
expansion, for by compressing the air
tube it displaces the air and takes its
place. When the ice melts the tube
again expands, becomes filed with air,
and is ready for another frost, and so
on for any number of times without re-
quiring attention.

TIE BOTTOM OF THE SKA.-Among
scientific puzzles is one which has long
perplexed geologists, namely, the e1-
istence of large areas of rock containing
no sign of life, side by side with forma-
tions of the same period which are full
of fossils relics OF primeval life. Why
should one be SO barren, and the other
30 prolific? There is now an answer to
this important question, and readers
who take interest in the exploring voy-
age of the Challenger will be glad to
learn that the answer comes from that
ship, in Q paper written by Dr.. Wyville
Thomson, chief of the scientific staff on
board. This paper was read last month
at meeting of the Royal Society. 1t
contains the results of deep sea sound
ings which have revealed the existence
of vast areas of barren clay at the bot
tom of the sea, in depths varying from
two Thousand two hundred to four
thousand fathoms and more. In other
parts, the bottom is composed of the
so-called glO6igerina, which live near
the surface, and sink to the bottom
when dead. There they accumulate,
building up chalk for ages to come,
when land and sea shall once more
change places. But it is remarkable
that, at the depth of two thousand two
hundred fathoms, the glo6igerina thin
of and disappear. and the gray deposit
merges into the barren clay above men
toned. The explanation is that, below
two thousand fathoms, the tiny shells
of the gIo6igerina are dissolved by
some action of the water, and that the
minute quantity which they contain OF
alumina and iron goes to form the areas
of barren clay. The extent Of these
areas is so great that it exceeds all
others as yet known at the bottom of
the sea, and it is the most devoid of
life. In this respect, the red clay now
forming resembles the schist which at
present occupies SO large a part of our
esrth's surface.
We are all more or less familiar with
chalk and with rocks that show no sign
of fossils and to be thus, SO to speak,
made eye witnesses of the process by
which chalk and rock were formed is
interesting. An eminent ma
turalist declares that this paper alone
is worth all the cost of the Challenger
expedition Chambers Journal.

REPRODUCTION OF OLD THOUGHTS
On the above theme, q writer in Black
,ooOd thus discourses Nothing is more
strange than the incesssnt reproduction
OF old thoughts under the guise of new
and advanced opinions. 1t would seem
as if the human mind, with all its rest
less activity, were destined to revolve
in an endless circle. Its progress is
marked by many changes and discov-
cries it sees and understands far more
clearly the facts that lie along the line
of its route, and the modes or laws
under which these facts occur but this
route in its higher levels always returns
upon itself. Nature and all its secrets
become better known, and the powers
of Nature are brought more under hu-
man control but the sources of Nature
and life and thought-all the ultimate
problems of being become more
clearly Ineligible. Not only so, but
the last efforts of human reasoning on
these subjects are even as the first.
Differing in form, and even sometimes
not greatly in form, they are in sub
stance the same. Bold as the course
of scientific adventure has seemed for a
time, it ends very much as it began !;
and men of the nineteenth century look
over the same abysses of speculation as
did their forefathers thousands of years
before. No philosophy of theism can
be said to have advanced beyond the
book of Job and Professor Tyndall,
addressing the world from the throne
of modern science-which the chair of
the British Association Oupbt TO be
repeats the thoughts of Democritus and
Epicurus as the last guesses Of the
modern scientific mind.

WATER Pals. Wooden water-pails,
whether to be used in the kitchen, or
at the stable. should receive two or
three coats of gum shellac varnish, dis
solved in alcohol, well laid on both in
side and outside. This will last a year
or more, before the wood will begin to
soak water.-It is much better than
lead paint for the inside of pals. Lead
is poison and soon peels off in freezing
weather, and then the pals soak water
and get very heavy to lift; besides
which, they rot fast and leak through
the pores of the wood. Shellac may be
procured of any painter, ready mixed,
and, if corked tightly, will keep any
length of time.
