whether il was Il wedding on something

found his house filled with nciphborS

they gave him. and Il pleasant hour was

some over SIPS. If he was surprised
before. now he was iistoniShed and he
expressed his thankidlneSs as well aS
he could. This little affair was gotten M

Let me say, in answer to Mr.. F. w
Fcarman, that the object of scattering
wheat bran over cabbage, is to protec,
them from the ravages of the green worm
1t will not do to wait until the worms are
strong and fat as then it will not destroy
them. Two years since saw this remedy
recommended, and at the time thought il
a humbug, as it seemed scarcely possible
that such a simple thing could affect the
worms, still | made up my mind to try it
as do all things, holding fast to what is
good. In June, in going through my ear
y cabbage, found one completely cover
ed with the worms. Immediately | OBJ
tanned handful Of bran and sprinkled it
over the head. The worms began to
squirm and fall off the cabbage, and when
ever the bran touched them, they seemed
to be in pain. The following morning
they were all dead. Since that time, on
the first appearance of the worm I sow the
bran. Some seasons it may be necessary
to do it the second time. If the worms
are very thick it is necessary to take a
handful and sprinkle it over the cabbage
A hundred weight is ample for an acre.

Receints.

Soap and water is the best material for
cleaning jewelry.
VIOLET PowDER.-Violet powder IL
made by scenting finely -sifsed agrow-root
with little orris-root
To each bowl of starch, before boiling,
add teaspoonful of EPSON salts. Arti-
cles prepared with this will be sitter and
in measure fire-proof
To REMOVE KEROSENE OIL FROM CAR
PETs.-Scrub the oil spot thoroughly with
hot water in which either ammonia or OK
gall has been put. Repeat the process if
necessary.
KEEPING PREsERvEs.-It is said that
to set newly-made preserves for several
days open in the sun is one OF the best
methods Of making them keep through
the summer unfermented.
One ounce each of muriate of soda,
cream of tartar. and alum, boiled in gall
Ion of water, gives plate beautiful white
ness. Dip the article in the mixture, re-
move and rub dry.
WASHING RIBBONS AND TIEs.-Put a
| little ammonia into clear cold water, and
the ribbons can be cleansed without rub
bing. Rinse in two or three waters and
press with warm iron while damp.
| To wash calico without fading, infuse
three gills of salt in four quarts of water.
Put in the calico while the solution is ho',
and leave until the latter is cold. It is
said that in this way the colors are render
ed permanent. and will not fade by subsc-
quent washing.
PREVENTIVE AGAINST MoTHs.-A very
pleasant perfume, and also preventive a.
gainst moths, may be made of the follow
ing ingredients. Take ofcloves, carraway
seed, nutmeg, mace, cinnamon and Ton
quin beans, of each one ounce, then add as
much Florentine orris-root as will equal
the other ingredients put together. Grind
the whole we'll to powder. and put it in
little bags among your clothes, etc. This
will answer for furs also. But the best
plan we know Of as a protection against
moths in furs is to first shake out or beat
out every foreign substance before putting
away for the season. Then wrap them up
in a perfectly sound newspaper. What
we mean by sound is, that there shall be
no holes or breaks in the paper. Make
bag of the paper by pasting; pack in and
paste up the mouth of the bag. Put in
drawer where it will not he disturbed. If
well done not moth will ever be found
inside. Try it.

Some men always want to cast a
cloud of gloom over a good thing. For
example, when Mr.. Harrison, of Delaware,
found that he must die. he said to his
wife i Jane, you'll have full swing now,
and it won't be year before you'll be in
the poor house. She didn't take bit OF
comfort at the funeral.

When the war came Phil was a staunch
Southerner in all his feelings, and held
firmly to his faith in the success of hie eide,
even to the end. The end crushed him com
pletely. When his master explained to the
colored people their new condition of free
dom, and proposed to engage them for
wages, Phil stoutly refused.

His master explained to him the necessity
of the case, and showed him how impossible
1T was, by any mutual agreement, to alter
the fact of freedom or to escape its conse-
auences.
"You must accept wages, Phil, for may

The poor fellow walked away with bowed
head and tear-stained face. The broad sta,.
wart shoulders were bent beneath the weight
of responsibility for himself He was a
streng man physically, but the merest child
in character. and the feeling that he
no longer had any one but himself TO lean
upon was more than he could bear. The
light OF cheerfulness and good humor went
out in his face. The joyousness of his ma
ture disappeared, and before the summer
had ripened into autumn, poor Phil laid
down and died of broken heart.-The
