DEW DROPS OF WISDOM.

Vices, like shadows, towards the
evening of life grow great and mon
strous.
Virtue, though in rags, may chal-
lenge respect more than vice set off
with all the trim of greatness.
The separation of friends by death
is less terrible than the divorce of true
hearts that have ceased to sympathize,
while memory is still recalling what
they once were to each other.
Who is wise? He that is teachable.
Who is mighty? He that conquers
himself. Who is rich2 He that is
content. Who is honored? He that
honoreth others.
Charity is never lost it may meet
with ingratitude, or be of no service
to those on whom it is bestowed, yet it
ever does work of beauty and grace
upon the heart of the giver.
Generosity during life is a very diff
ferent thing from the generosity in
death. One proceeds from genuine
liberality and benevolence, the other
from pride or fear.
Say nothing respecting yourself eth
er good, bad or Notwithstanding
good, for it is vanity; nothing bad,
for that is afectation; nothing indif-
ferent, for that is silly.

She came lugging burden that looked
heavy enough for two wrens. She
had been to the wood pile, and picked
up stick longer than she was, and ]
watched her as she flew up to the hole
with it, and attempted to 60 in just as
she had done with. the other sticks and
bits. | laughed to see how puzzled
she was when her burden. bunted
against the sides, and pushed, her back
from the entrance. She tried it again
and again with the same result, futter-
ing up to the hole, knocking the stick
against the sides, and then obliged to
futter back again.
1t was very rude in the ungainly
twig, she seemed to think, and the lit
tie lady actually looked as if she felt
insulted. l Ialmost expected to see her
give it up, hut no. Fastening her feet
firmly on the edge of the opening, she
placed the stick perpendicularly, and
tugged with all her might to thrust it
through but in vain; then she turned
it and tried it horizontally, but it
would not go in. At last she tried it
endwise, and / could not help clapping
my hands as it slipped to the bottom
Of the nest, and the little bird hoped
in after it with kind Of provoked tri-
nmph in her manner, as if she said,
What a fool! Why didn't / know
that before?"

from this little bird, and don't give up

WORTH KNOWING.

To prevent moths in carpets, wash
the floor before laying them with spirits
of turpentine or benzine.
4 Unslacked lime is excellent for
cleaning small steel articles, such as
jewelry, buckles and the like.
Glass may be powdered to render it
suitable for glass-paper, for filtering
varnishes, ETC., by heating it red hot
and then suddenly plunging it in
water.
Straw mating should be washed
with cloth dampened in salt water.
Indian meal sprinkled over it and
thoroughly swept out will also cleanse
it finely.
To remove old paint, cover with %
wash Of three quarts quick stone lime,
slaked in water to which one part
pearlash is added. Allow the coating
to remain for sixteen hours, when the
paint may be easily scraped off.
Four parts borax and three parts
Epson salts, mixed with three or four
parts warm water to one part of the.
combined substances, is said to form
an excellent fire. proof wash for clothes.
1t should be used Immediately after
preparatson.
In washing windows, narrow
bladed wooden knife, sharply pointed
will take out the dust that hardens in
the corners ofthe sash. Dry whiting
will polish the glass, which should first
be washed with weak black tea mixed
with little black alcohol. Save the
tea leaves for the purpose.
The unsatisfactory light frequently
given by kerosene lamps is often due
to the wick. The filtering of several
quarts of oil through a wick which
stops every particle Of dust in it must
necessarily gradually obstruct the
pores of the wick. Consequently,
although a wick may be long enough
to last some time, its conducting power
may be SO impaired that good light
cannot be obtained.
1t is very common practice to turn
a kerosene lamp down when the high
est light is not specially needed. This
practice may save few cents week to-
the consumers, but it fills the room
with very offensive and unwholesome.
odor besides soiling. everything in the
room by means of the gas which is,
amitted. This practice ought to be
abandoned as well for safety as for
other reasons. A lamp is more likely
to explode when turned down than,
when it has on a fair head of light.

ELEGANCE DOES NOT MAKE A
HOME never saw garment too
fine for man or maid; there was never
chair too good for cobbler, or cooper
or king to sit in; never a house too
fine to shelter the human head. These
elements above us, the gorgeous sky,
the imperial sun, are not too good for
the human race. Elegance fits man.
But do we not value these tools Of
house keeping little more than they
are worth, and sometimes mortgage a
home for the mahogany we would bring
into it? | would rather eat my dinner
off the head of a barrel or dress after
the fashion of John the Baptist in the
wilderness, or sit on a block all my
life, than consume all myself before l
got to home, and take so much pains
with the outside that the inside was as
hollow as an empty nut. Beauty is
great thing, but beauty of garment
house and furniture is very tawdry
ornament compared with domestic
love. All the elegance in the world
will not make home, and | would
give more for spoonful of real hearty
love than for whole ship loads eff furni-
ture, and all the gorgeousness that all
the upholsterers of the world could
gather together. Theodore Parker.

Burn the Old Letters.

The fact that in almost every case
the ends of old letters are used in evi.
dence, induces an exchange to say !:
"There is no higher appeal to honor
than that which confidential letter
implies. The winged words may be
lost forever, but the written words re-
main. 1t is the most unquestioning
love, which puts itself at the mercy of
correspondent, which writes what it
would hardly whisper, and takes its
chances of being advertised and trum-
peted to the four corners of the earth.
Does not such tender frankness demand
even nervous care and caution upon
the other side? A blow for kiss is
bad enough. Ingratitude is the oppro-
brium of our nature. But what blow
can be bitterer to a sensitive woman
than to find confdance misplaced, trust
disregarded, and the sa,,ctitns Sa,sctorlnl
of her soul thrown wide open for the
curious to stare at its boarded and hal
lowed treasure? Such mockery of
good faith is tolerable between man and
man-it is tragedy pure and simple
when it poisons the peace of women.
Did she write this loving sentence for
the whole world to read? Did she
spread out all the tenderness of her
soul upon the blistered page, that
coarse testers might translate it into
their own foul dialects, and construe
it according to the uncleanliness of
their own besotted natures?
Yes it is certainly better to burn
letters of affection than to hoard them
in this most uncertain world. Burn,
if you would not have your costliest
secrets continue undivulged! Burn
for your own sake and for the sake Of
others! Give trembling hopes and
gentle assurances, the first faltering
promise, the last welcome observation,
the golden and silver sentences, the
record of dreams and of doubts, the
lines traced when all was benighted-
give the sweet and bitter and the bit
ter.sweet, earnestness and playfulness,
deep appeal and trivial jest-all to the
friendly fire!

The Brussels Carpet.
BY HIsKEYUNA.

1t was the very prettiest scene i'm.

prettily furnished, snowy curtains,
bright carpet, nice pictures; young
husband at one side Of the CRATE fire
reading newspaper; young wife at the
other sewing on shirt buttons tea
things on the table, and the brightest
of bright brass kettles singing merrily
on the hob. Young wife speaks:
"And SO, Harry, you don't think

"Still, Mollie, it may do harm by
leading to other things"
For some time nothing was heard in
the little parlor but the click of Mol

and the singing of the kettle on the

When she was gone, Harry put away
his paper, and looked somewhat peni.

"It certainly is very pretty" said
he to himself, "and I'm half afraid l

Harry returned with renewed self.satis-

been reading. Eight o'clock strikes,
and Mollie appears, preceded by the
delicious odor of hot cakes.
"There it is, Harry. Does it look
nice ?"
"Beautiful-like yourselfl And if
it only tastes half as well as it smells,

skipping about the house answering

about the stufing. The melted but.

"Of course he didn't my dear. He
lost both his balance and his bet; for
the moment he put his foot in the
umbrella down it went and he with it,
and the bank was so slippery he was
half drowned before we could drag

"Was he frightened ?" said Mollie.
"Not he," returned Harry. "The

ing again like madmen."
"What a strange man !" said Mollie,
with slight shade of apprehension in
her tone.
"But that wasn't all" said Harry,
in the full tide of his reminiscence.
"We had to give him some hot brandy
and water, to keep him from catching
cold, and on the way home he insisted
on driving, and, charmed l suppose by
his success in that attempt, wanted to
get on the horses back, to initiate Ma
zeppa on the wild horse of Tartary.
Jones got frightened, and tried to pull
him back. He manfully resisted, and
both looked so ridiculous l could do
nothing but laugh. That was rather
an unlucky prank, though" continued
Harry, 'for the horse, not being ac-
customed, | suppose, to equestrian
feats, ran away, burst from the harness,
and smashed one of the shafts, and l
had to pay ten dollars and sixty-four
cents for my share of the damage"
"And your silk umbrella, said Mol

"Besides the dinner, two dollars

"That includes the wine, l suppose"
"No. OF course | had to pay extra
for bottle of wine, and it wasn't

"Well, l declare, said Mollie, laugh

cents, and seven dollars and fifty cents,

cents; two dollars added make twenty

The FIRE That OLD NICK BUILT

capital imitation of the style of the
" house that Jack built" and wish it
might become a household favorite;
Intemperence-This is the fire that
old Nick built.
Moderate drinking-This is the fuel
that feeds the fire that old Nick built.
Rum selling-This is the ak that
cuts the wood that feeds the fire that
old Nick built.
Love of money-This is the stone
that grinds the ak that cuts the wood
that feeds the fire that old Nick built.
Public opinion-This is a sledge
with its face of steel that batters the
stone that grinds the AK that cuts the
wood that feeds the fire that old Nick
built.
A temperance meeting-This is one
of the blows that we quietly deal to
fashion the sledge with its edge of
steel that patterns the stone that grinds
the AK that cuts the wood that feeds
the fire that old Nick built.
Eternal Truth-This is the spirit so
gentle and still that nerves the smith
to work with a will to give force
to the blows that we quietly deal to
fashion the sledge with its face of steel
that batters the stone that grinds the
ak that cuts the wood that feeds the
fire that old Nick built.
