SwedenbOrgian Temple.

A new Swenenborgain Temple has
just been dedicated in Washington
City with imposing ceremonies by a
congregation of that faith. The con-
gregation pronluigates the following as
its religious creed:
l. That there is one God; that in him
is divine Trinity. called the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit; that these
three are distinct, and at same time
united in Him, as the soul, the body
and the operation are in man-and that
the one God is the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. That saving faith is to believe in
him as the Redeemer, Regeneration and
Saviour from sin.
8. That the Sacred Scripture is divine
truth; that it is revealed to US as a
means by which We may distinguish
between good and evil; by which we
may be delivered from the influence OF
evil spirits, and by which We may be-
come associated with angles and con-
Joined with the Lord.
4. That we must abstain from doing
evil, because it is of the devil and from
the devil; and that We must do good,
because it is of God and from God.
5. That in abstalning from evil and
in doing good we are to act rs of our
selves; but we must at the same time
Believe and acknowledge that the will
the understanding and the power to do
so are of the Lord alone.

Cultivation of the mind adds another

Insect DESTROYER.

The Journal of Chemistry publishes
a recipe for the destruction of insects,
which, if it be onehalf as efficacious as
it is claimed to be, will prove invalua-
BILE. Hot alum-water, it says, will de-
stroy red ard black ants, cockroaches,
spiders, chintz bugs, and all the crawl
ing pests which infeSt our houses. Take
two pounds of alum, and dissolve it in
three or four quarts of boiling water.
Let it staod on the fire till the alum
disappears; then apply it with brush,
while nearly boiling hot, to every joint
and crevice in your closets, bedsteads,
pantry shelves, and the like. Brush
the crevices in the floor of the skirting
or mop boards if you suspect that they
harbor vermin, If, in white-washing
ceiling, plenty of alum is added to
the lime, it will also serve to keep in
sectS at distance. Cockroaches will
flee the paint which has been washed
in cool alum water. Sugar barrels and
boxes can be freed from ants by draw
ing chalk-mark just around the edge
to the top them. The mark must be
unbroken, or they will creep over it;
but continuous chalk-mark half an
inch wide will set their depredations
at naught. Powdered alum or borax
will keep chintZ-bugs at respectful
distance; and travellers should always
carry package in their handbags, tU
scatter over and under their pillows in
places where they have reason to- sus.
pect the presence of such bedfelloWs.

A Huge Nugget of Copper.

Yesterday there came to this city
from the Lake Superior regions one OF
the largest specimens of native copper
ever transported a long distance. The
m ass is heart-shaped, and weighs 5000
pounds, almost double the weight oi
the famous copper bowlder which was
transported many years ago from the
same region to the Smithsonian Insti-
tute at a cost to the government of So
$50. The specimen brought here exhi-
bits the pure copper to the eye, and
contains SO per cent. of the metal. 1t
may be seen lying on skids on the
southeast corner of the Lindell Hotel,
where it has been examined by crowds
of people. The specimen was taken
out from an ancient digging sixteen
halt feet below the surface by a Mr.
Davis, who has spent twenty-five years
in copper-minins. The mass, when
found, had evidently been detached
from its bed by the ancient miners. A
Humber of pieces of copper besides the
mass were found weighing from an
ounce to seventeen pounds, which
were evidently clippings by the old
miners. Stone hammers weighing
from ten to thirty pounds have been
found in carloads, several specimens of
which mentioned have been brought
to this city.
These are the primitive tools with
which these ancient miners had to do
their work. These tools are found either
perfect or broken from use, and the
fragments are found scattered through
the debris. 1t has been computed that
two hundred of these old miners with
their rude methods could barely be
equivalent to two the skilled miners of
the present day. Who and to what
race they belonged, and at what time
these people forrished, is not satisfac-
tOriIy known, and. can be the subject of
conjecture. The only plausible assump-
tion is that they belonged to the anci-
ent mound-builders and worked in
metals long anterior to the Indian
races as evidences of their occupancy
were seen by the early Jesuit explorers,
and the specimens they clipped from
the copper rocks are found scattered
over ths whole continent.-St. Louis

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
tic hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth sf hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, ii will keep it clean and vigorous
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality 1t gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not, soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long ON the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

POETRY.
GRANDPA's sLILOQUY.

II wasn't so. when ! was young;
We used plain language then;
We didn't speak of '.them galoots,
When meaning boys and men,
When speaking of the nice hand-write
of Joe, or Tom, or Bill,
We did it plain-we didn't say,
s.He swing nasty qln
And when we saw a gal we liked,
Who never failed to please,
We called her pretty, neat and good,
But not aabout the cheese"
Well. when We met a good old friend
We hadn't lately seen,
We greeted him, but didn't say,
''Hello! you old sardine."
The bows sometimes got mad and fought;
We spoke of kickes and blows;
But now they s'whack him in the snoot'
And paste him on the nose"
Once, when a youth was turned away
From her he loved most dear,
He walked off on his feet; but now
He ''crowls off on his ear"
We used to dance, when l was young,
And used to call it so;
But now they don't-they only ''sling
The light, fantastic toe"
of death we spoke in language plain,
His judgments good. we said;
But now they say, ''well, that old plum
Has got level head
Its rather sad-the children now
Are learning all such talk;
They've learned to "chin, instead of chat,
And sswaltz" instead of walk.
To little Harry, yerterday-
My grandchild, aged two
l said, 'EYou love grandpa ?" Said he,
''You bet your boots do"
The children bowed to strangers, once;
1t is no longer so
. The little girls as well as boys,
Now greet you with "Hdlo!"
Oh, give me back the good old days,
When both the old and young
Conversed in plain old-fashioned words,
And slang was never slung.

No clouded skies, no long, dark night,
No fear, or pain, or whitening blight,
No death, no sorrow there can come;
No wanderers there, all are at home;
No sickness there, no fevered brow;
No load of care, the form to bow;
No slavery with its CALLING chain,
No anxious torturing of the brain,
No silver idols, no gods Of gold,
No honor there that's bought and sold;
No whispered envy with tongue of flame,
No SANDER to bring the blush of shame;
No thieves or robbers with stealthy tread,
No murderers there, to multiply the dead;
His glorious voice shall sule the wide domain
And Eden fair in beauty bloom again.

it is adequate, on which the public may rely

Spring Grain on Sod.

THE usual and generally the best prac-
tice is to precede spring gain with hoed
crop of corn or oats in sod with manure
plowed under. If we'll cultivated through
the season this leaves the ground free from
weed seeds, the sod thoroughly rotted and
the manure and decaying sod intimately
mixed with the soil. But this plan is not
always practicable. Sometimes farmers
have fields which need breaking up and
reseeding but cannot find time or labor to
plant SO large an area of hoed crops as
this rotation would require. What shall
be done in such cases? To leave this land
unplowed a year is to fill it with weeds
in place of failing clover and grasses.
To pillow in the spring and SOW barley or
oats on the newly-turned sod will most
probably result in the partial failure of
the crop. Fall blowing, giving the sod a
chance to rot more or less in fall, is the
next best preparation posslble-better in
some respects than hoed crop the pre-
viOus year, as there is nothing taken from
the soil. This fall-plowed land needs
only to be cultivated in spring to be pre-
pared for seeding in the best possible con-
dition.
Tt will facilitate rotting of the sod if a
bushel and half per acre of rye is sown
on the fall-plowed land and dragged in.
1t will make good late pasture for calves
and good early pasture for new mich
cows and ewes with lamb. Besides, the
covering which the plants will make will
save the surface of the soil from being
blown away. The young plants in green
leaf do not exhaust the soil much, if any,
and all the advantage from the fall or
spring feed is so much clear gain from
the slight outlay for seed.-Rura1 Neao

Salt-FiSh Dinners.

Cur the fish in rather small pieces,
wash it thoroughly in warm water, and
leave it in cold water over night. In the
morning remove the skin from the pieces,
wash again, and put them in cold water
over fire, and let it come very gradually
to boil. Then remove the vessel farther
back on the stove, and let it remain at al
most a boiling point. Actual boiling
hardens the fish. Change the water once
during the process, adding hot water
keep it at the same temperature, letting it
boil only once for few minutes, when
nearly done. While the fish is cooking
pare nicely as many potatoes as necessary,
removing carefully every imperfection
from the surface, and put them as fast as
pared and washed into cold water, with a
little salt in it.
Boil in separate utensils small onions,
beets, or parsnips, if in season. Put the
potatoes into boiling water half an hour
before dinner, add little salt to the water,
and do not let them remain covered after
they are fairly boiling. While the vege-
tables are cooking remove the fish from
the water, carefully take out every bone,
and with sharp chopping-knife mince
the fish to an even fineness throughout,
then put it into deep dish, add to it
half cupful of hot water with a little but
ter melted in it, cover closely, and place
in hot oven until dinner is ready. Pre-
pare drawn butter for sauce, being care
full not to let the butter boil, as it will be-
come oily. Boil eggs hard if they are
liked. Some persons prefer the eggs

L0ve-Feasts of the Dunkers.

The Dunkers are bringing their love-
feasts of the season to close This relig-
ious denomination has q large following
in number of counties of this State,
among them Dauphin, Lebanon and Lam
caster. The ceremonies of the Dunkers
are very interesting. Any person DESTROYS
Of participating in the ceremonies of the
feet washing and the Lords Supper is
welcomed, but when it comes to the sacra-
ment the Dunkers are close communicates
and permit none but members of the
church to taste of the wine Previously
to the supper comes the ceremony of feet
washing, which, it should be remembered,
does not differ materially from that prac-
ticed by the Winebrennarians. 1t is not
an empty form, such as might be expected
by one who never witnessed it, but feet
washing in fact, in which all members
present take part, and such other persons
as choose may participate. The vessels
used for the purpose are common wash
tubs, which contain a sufficient quantity
of water for the purpose. The manner of
performing the ceremOnyls simple enough.
Brother Jones starts out with tub and
towel, and, going to Brother Brown, the
latter's feet are both immersed and washed

the water and rubs the feet few times
and then wipes them thoroughly dry with
towel. He then proceeds III similar
manner to two or three others, when
another brother takes the tub and goes on
with the process, by which plan all par
ticipate, one relieving the other, the water
being thrown out and renewed frequently.
The sexes perform this duty as well as
that OF giving and receiving the kiss of
brotherly love separately. The brothers
wash feet only for the brothers, the sisters
performing the same service only for those
OF their own sex. During the performance
of feet-washIng one of the teachers dis
courses on the origin and significance of
the ceremony. After the feet washing has
been concluded all partake of the supper
prepared for the occasion, each one re-
ceiving a share of the bread and meat and
dish of soup. After all are satisfied the
sacrament is offered, with fermented wine.
