TWO FACES.
BIT MRS. r. 4. PERCY.

BIT MRS. r. 4. PERCY.
Il have so strange thing to tell,
You hardly will believe it
But IS II Is the very truth
Hope you'll so receive It,
It's Of a little girl I know
Who has two different faces,
And yet they'r not, IS you might rhiak,
In two quite separate places,
No, both OF them are In one place,
Quite close to one another;
But stin when one of them you see
You cannot see the other.
BY some strange trick this little lass
Keeps one face always hidden,
And only that ono comes In sight
Which by her will Is bid den.
There's one of them that seems 10 me
The lovelicst of faces;
IT'S beautiful to look upon
Ard !u'! OF charming graoes;
So fair and sweet and kind it Is,
So cheerful, bright and sunny,
would not sell that precious face
For whole world Of money.
This face my lassie wears
When she Is good and pleasant;
And oh! how glad l always am
When that dear face is present
Such delightful thing it is,
wish 'twould stay forever.
And then the other face she has
Would come before me never
For that's the face we always see
When she Il cross and fretful;
And when Of all her pleasant looks
She seems to be forgetful,
And bids the naughty face appear,
So dark and so uncheerful;
So puckered up with scowis and frown.,
To look at 1t Is fearful
Oil how wish this gloomy face
She could keep always hidden,
And that for 1t TO come to sight
Would be thing forbiddenl.
All! then should not care so much,
Though she did have two faces,
II never Of the ugly one
Could zee any traces.

Nitro glycerine is formed by the
action Of nitric acid upon elycerine at
a low temperature. The process con.
ssts essentially in the slow mixture
of glrcerine with the acid, every.
hing being packed 10 ice thro aghout
the operation, and then in washing
the nitro glseerine from the excess of
acid with water. During the pro-
cess, irritating fumes arc given of in
large quantities. (The workman re-
semble skeletons, they are so I'M
healthy.) When it is at last washed
and ready for use, miro giycerine is
an oily liquid having a specific grav-
ity Of &c. Freshly made it is creamy
white and opaque. After prolonged
contact with the atmosphere it clears
and becomes Of a transparent amber
color. Il has a sweet aromatic taste,
and produces a violent headache il

frozen it cannot be fired, and it is
only safe during transportation when

Tine Country the Place for Me-
ciianics.

The demand for mechanics in
country places is always growing.
It !s . mistake 10 suppose that car
penlers, brick layers, and masons
need to crowd into city to find EN-
ployment. ia the country, where q
mechanic can have few acres of
land, upon which he may spen part
of his time not otherwise occupied,
he need never be short of work. He
cun keep horse, and ride to his
work. losing less time in doing so
Than if he lived in a city. He can
keep cow, some pigs, and fowls,
aud raise, with the help of his chill
drea, large share Of his supplies.
H. family viii have better health,
aaj enjoy themselves much more
titan IN the crowded city, having
flowers and a garden To amuse
them. They may dress less ex-
yensiycly will Wear out fewer clothes,
and the cent will not have to be pro-
vidcd for every month, or if it does,
il will he bat trlfie compared with
city rents. Farmers everywhere are
improving their buildings, putting
up better barns and fences, aud com
petent country mechanics can pro-
cure prof able Jobs, and do the work
at much cheaper rates than in cities.
Oue finished job brings others;
for nothing is so catching as improve
meut, an! our experience has been
hat m9ny farmers do without new
barns or houses, because of the diff
iicaIty OF procuring competent me-
cbaufes at n reasonable price. There
are very few good farmers now, in
the east or the west, who are not
able to nave good farm-buildings;
aud at tn" present t'nic village me-
chanics have more steady employ
meut, and ctn save more money, il
they earn less, than those who work

The Polar Rear,s Cunnlng

According 10 the Esquimaux, the seal
constructs its abode beneath the surface
Of the ice in such a manner that it can
enter in from the water below. Here the
young seal passes its infancy, and when
the returning heat of summer has de-
stroyed its igloo, or dwelling, the young
seal is old enough to take care OF itself;
but this mode IF lodging its youth be.
meath the ice is well known to the bear,
who, with his keen scent, soon detects
the Whereabouts Of the seals nursery,
and in order to gain entrance makes a
spring and comes down heavily on the
top Of the igloo, brushes it in, and imme.
diately seizes the young seal with his
paw. II might be supposed thatthe hun.
CRY bear at once devours its prey; but,
no, it is far too wary to do so. II knows
full we'll that where the baby ia there
must Of necessity be a mother, and she
will be in search Of her darling. There.
fore, the bear scrapes a hole in the snow
away from the seal hole, and holding the
young seal by the Hippers, allows il To
founder about, and when the mother
approaches, the bear slyly draws the
young seal toward it Hntil the old one il
within reach, when he seizes her with
the other paw, and thus captures both.

A Word in Season.

A good old minister after marrying a
young couple, made this little address:
Il should like to give you a little advise"
said he, hat may be useful to you in
your after life. Young people get on
very well together at first, but sometimes
it does happen, that matters don't 90
quite so pleasantly with them as one
could wish. One cross word brings up
another, aud when wrangling begins, one
never knows we're it will end. Now |
don't know that | can do better than tell
you the bargain hat my wife and | made
when we first married, and it was this:
that if ever VIC wanted to quarrel, we
should take it in turns to commence. Ii
| began n to-day, my wife should have
the right to do so tomorrow; only we
we're each to give the other fair warning,
by observing in such case, It's my turn
now, and I'm going to begin | can't
tell how that may do With you, but it has
answered very we'll with us, for neither
has yet said to the other, though we have
been married thirty years, It's my turn
now, and | hope it'll never be the turn
Of either of YOU" And no one who
knew the, minister and his wife believed
that their turn ever had come.-Episco-

Et;quette Rerore the Pons.

Many Americans, when at Rome, call
on Pho Mono at the Vatican. He is gen.
orally at home" about noon, and, as he
regularly takes his dinner at two o'clock.
they do not, nor should, tarry in his
sanctum sauctorum unreasonably. A
certain amount of etiquette is exacted Of
visitors. For instance, nobody bows to
his holiness. The true way to salute
him is to get down on ones knees on
entering his door, then again in the mid
die Of the room, and lastly when at his
feet-and in this last posture it would be
strict etiquette to remain during the EN-.
tire audience. if the Holy Father, in his
p%aternsl bounty, didn't, as he usually
does, relieve your knees somewhat and
permit you to use your feet in a natural
way. 1t has to be borne in miAd that no
one is allowed to sit before the Pope,
except the Cardinals, and they only on
low stools. Ones dress has to be
specially adapted to ths ceremony:
women have to be clothed in black, wear
long black wells on the head as substi-
tutes for %bonnets, mittens and white
satin shoes; men in strict ball outrig
Being favored with a glance, a word or a
blessing, visitors back out Of the Holy
Presence in the same order as they
came. Heretics are respectfully informed
by Cardinal authority that politeness
eve kills, and that everybody in Rome
must do as the Romans do; and yet, be
it said with a glowing blush for Ameri
can irrepressibllity, there are many Of
our countrymen who fail to observe the
rules, and who stand bolt upright before
his holiness. while holding out a paw for
a shake, as the most feasible thing in
the world.
