Too Onen True.

Some men take too much money out
of their business to expend in house
hold expenses and lavish display, and
speedily bring themselves to the verge
of bankruptcy. One old gentleman,
who had commenced life IS q poor boy,
had, by mastering the difficult steps to
final success gained considerable wealth
as Q merchant. When he arrived at
old age he retired to private life to live
in ease and comfort on his income,
leaving q prosperous business in the
ha nds of his son. In three years the
young man was bankrupt. He had
failed in business and was compelled to
take a position as clerk in a strangers
store.
His father was asked Why it was that,
in o business in which he had succeeded
30 well, his son had failed. He gave
this Characteristic answer ''When /
first commenced business, my wife and
1 lived on porridge. As my business
increased We had better food and
when could afford it We had chicken.
But, you see Jonnie commenced with
the chicken first"

Whims sometimes become fashions.
Here is q case in point. At Mesdames
Therese and Mantle's s, the most fsshiona-
BILE OF Paris milliners, there is fair
haired young lady, as much like our
poetical ideal Goethe's Marguerite as
lie can be. OF course it is this young
lady who tries on all the bonnets to
show them off to visitors of course
also, every bonnet looks beautiful on
that lovely head ! Well, few days ago
our Marguerite was trying on a charm
ing little bonnet, forming a dropping
tip in front, and a raised box-plait at
back. Suddenly, in freak, she turned
the bonnet round the dropping brim
then rested on the hair at back, ard the
box plat found itself in the front
''Oh, how pretty !" exclaimed all the
other girls.
'Tt's Just like Phrygian cap !" said
one.
'It's the bonnet de la Republique !"
said another.
And quickly an aigrette and feather
were placed in front, within the hollow
of the box-plait (the aigrette to stand
up and the feather to fall over the back,
and the bonnet was completed; and
not only completed, but it was sold
within the day to great elegsnte as
the last gem out. And this is how
Partisan fashions are sometimes made.

MISCELLANY.
DisfiIIafiOuO Of Perfumes.

The invention of this process is as
cribed to Avicenna, an Arabian doctor,
who fiourished in the tenth century.
Previous to his time Iesins, spices, and
oils or ointments, scented by contact
with fragrant substances, we're the
chief, if not the only, forms of perfume
known. To him, it is said, belongs the
honor of first separating the aromas of
plants and flowers in such a manner
that they could be readily applied
where greasy unguents and smoking
incense were alike unavailable.
To the invention of Avicenna we are
indebted for the most durable elements
of modern perfumery but our most
fragrant and delicate odors are pro-
duced by another process, of much
later discovery, which we will attempt
to describe in the paragraphs that fol-
low.
The odors of all vegetable matters
reside in a principle or constituent
known as essential oil, or, more prop
erly, otto. Each individual plant or
flower contains a greater or less amount
of this principle, the separation of
which from the parent substance is the
initial movement in all the most i'm
portant of the perfumer's operations.
As it exists in but small proportion, We
have in il when isolated a remarkable
concentration of odor, and its stability
when so separated is so great that many
varieties can be kept for years IN
changed. In the otto We not only pos
sess the fragrance of the flower long
after the season of blooming is past,
but by its use can impBrt a favorable
odor to a thousand bodies scentless in
themselves.
Ottos are all in the liquid form, are
of an oily appearance, vary in color
from light straw to dark red or brown,
and possess, as above stated, the odor
of the substances from which they are
derived. The yield of this principle
from various materials ranges from six
per cent. or more down to very minute
quantities. Nutmegs, for instance, are
very rich in otto lemon rinds contain
it in such abundance that it be profit
ably extracted by expression /; while
roses yield so little that but three tea
spoonfuls are obtained from hundred
pounds of the petals.
The well-known process of distilla-
ton is the method most frequently
employed to procure these ottos. The
process, as almost every one knows,
consists essentially in vaporiZing a
liquid in a closed vessel, and conduct
ing the vapor to a receiver, in which it
is condensed by the application of cold
water. When given plant or flower is
placed in the still with a proper pro-
portion of water, and heat applied, its
otto, being volatile, rises with the
steam, and both being condensed to-
gether. they readily separate on cooling.
When applied to this purpose the pro-
cess is often conducted by passing
steam through the material to be ex-
hausted instead of boiling it in the
usual way.-Hayper's Magazine.

Claims of Labor.

The workingman, as soon as he
emerges from a condition of abject ig-
norance, demands an equitable share Of
the profits of his industry. He feels
that in return for faithful and persistent
labor, and the practice of strict economy
and prudence, he is entitled to some
thing more than bare subsistence. He
should have the satisfaction and reward
of accumulation. The results of his
tolls, after q reasonable length of time,
should be such as to place him in q
position of comfort and independence.
He does not childishly ask to be made
rich by act of legislature, but merely to
be allowed to hold what is properly his
own. The farmer wants to know, when
he brings his wheat and corn, his vege-
tables and fruits, into market, why he
can get barely the cost of production,
often less than the cost, while on every
thing he buys-his tea and sugar and
cloth, his tools and implements-he has

Appetite.

At certain seasons, as In spring, the
appetite of even the robust Is apt TO
fail, and the relish for meats and heavy
food to wane. This is all right enough,
for animal diet in warm weather heats
the blood, tends to headaches, and is
generally unwholesome, unless spar
ingly used. On the other hand, fresh
vegetables. berries, fruit and bread are
cooling. corrective, and what the palate
most Graves. Don't be afraid to go
without meat for a month or so, and If
you like. live purely on vegetable
regimen. We will warrant that you
will lose no more strength than is COM
mon to the time, and that you Will not
suffer from protracted heat. as when
dining on the regulation roast.
Many persons regard hearty desire
for food as something unrefined, lndell-
cate and to be constantly discouraged.
This is a greater and more harmful
mistake than that of coaxlng the appe-
tite. 1t is Just as necessary for the
man who works only with his brain to
eat beef and mutton as for the man
who labors solely with his hands. Inc
stomach and the brain are twins; the
former being the elder, and having
prior right 20 care. Let that be we'll
provided for, and it will sustain Its
brother. The people who strive to
check wholesome and natural appetite
are the people who regard dinner
merely as a feed, not the centre OF an
agreeable social custom and as the
domestic event of the day. We are
sorry for them, as they must regard
eating at all as prosaic duty obiiga-
tory on them because they have bias
in favor of living. We all know that
ue must eat to live; bnt we by no
means live to eat simply because we
enjoy what we eat. We are not gour-
mands because we relish chops, nor
are we invalids because we want straw
berries. A good appetite is q good
thing; but not if it is to he worried by
nrging or by neglect.

A simple Plan OF Ventilation.

The following simple method for ven
tilating ordinary sleeping and dwelling
rooms is recommended by Mr.. Hinton
in his Physiology for Practical Use ::
A piece of wood, three inches high and
exactly as long as the breadth of the
window, is to be prepared.-Let the
sash be now raised, the slip of wood
placed on the sill, and the sash drawn
closely upon it. If the slip has been
well fitted, there will be no draft in
consequence of this displacement Of
the sash at its lower part but the top
of the lower sash will overlap the bot
tom of the upper one, and between the
two bars perpendicular currents of air,
not felt as draft, will enter and leave
the room.

POETRY.
THE BOASTING HEN.
BIZ GEORGE COOPER.


"Ke-daw Ke-daw," a Young hen cried.
While strutting through 4 barnyard wide,
''Ke-daw. Ke-dawl I've done feat,
I've laid the finest egg to-day
That any hen in town could lay;
SO little chickens, far and near,
just bow your heads when appear.
Old mother hens you needn't sneer:
There never WAS an egg so white,
| shall go fran tic with delight -
"Ke-dsw Ke-daw :" rang clear and loud.
There never was hen so proud.
The older hens were grave and staid,
They said: when other eggs are laid
SIX or dozen at the most
Ny child, you won't care much 10 boast
Your utterance viii be more soothing
When laying egs becomes no new thing"
Each turned and called away her brood,
This young hen called their actions rude,
How envious these old danes are
My triumph, though, they shall not mar;
With bitterness my heart would sicken
If | were such a jealous chicken.
-Nohr hAAlAt tlAlS scent WAS gong on
Our dame hen left her nest alone.
And spying out a splendid chance,
A weasel threw furtive glance
At this same egg.
Swift as lance
He :olled IT from its downy nest
A wanton act to be confessed
Its golden freshness there to test.
Back, in high feather, came our hen,
Her grief is not for tongue or pen
She gazed upon the empty shell
of that first egg she loved 80 we'll;
Had she but known enough to cry,
Tears would have trickled from her eve.
Now in this egg shell we may find
simple moral left behind,
la bOasting don't be premature,
Lest disappointment work your cure,
Ere you parade your triumph round,
Ee sure your egg is safe and sound

perhays, no longer, but Irene herself
crossed the seas to win-beautiful,
radiant, and looking down at me with q
sudden glorious smile in her eyes that
1 remembered we'll and while the light
still fingered there she lifted Q round
white arm and seemed to be brushing
back q stray ringlet. On her taper
finger a diamond flashed out . silent
greeting and entreaty to me, "Come. u

you'll"
"But why why did you not write?
Her happy, laughing glance lifted to
the genial face of her Uncle 1nvernay,
who was cordially shaking hands and
exchanging greetings with me.
'This naughty uncle of mine forbade
it positively I; wanted to test your love
by absence and silence. He wanted to
have his way; 1 could not change him,
and we we're so long before I recovered
my health that We stayed three years
instead of two," and pleadingly, as Mr..
Invernay, very discreetly for bachelor
uncle, turned toward the stage again,
HAS the test been too much for your
love, Frank ?"
With Nilsson's silver notes in my ears
and the scarce less musical voice of my
idol whispering to me 1 answered as
any other man would have done in my
place
Twenty years would not have
changed my devotion, Irenel The
question is, has it changed yours?"
A soft shade of pensive tenderness
touched the lovely young face as she
whispered back "No, Frank; I am
the same little Irene who left you, only
that I come back to you healthy and
hopeful I was neither when / went.
Are you content with me, Frank ?"
And q grand, glorious, triumphant
burst of melody. filling all the arches
of the house, drowned my passionate
answer to all but her to whom it was
whispered. "Ah, Irene the sum OF
my earthly happiness will be attained
when I call You my wife!
And when the curtain fell brought
my sister to the box to hear our blissful
story. She was surprised, but pleased /;
and, laying aside portion of her inevi-
table dignity, was quietly happy in our
happiness.

Ladies VINO deck their nalr with MI
mic bloom have, in general, little idea
of the way in which those false flowers
grew, wear them light-heartedly in the
gayest scenes, and think not that they
are transplanted from the saddest.
They put forth their leaves and delicate
hues in sitting garrets, in fetid black
kitchens, or in hot over-crowded facto-
ries, where the health of those who
made them was whitening away, where
the gas-burners are often without glass
or shade, and gas stoves are set on the
tables to heat the tools. while a
hundred women and girls, from nine
years old and upwards, bend over their
hot-house plants. Some hold the
hand stamp which cuts through sixteen
folds at time of the muslin or silk
that is to make the leaves or flowers.
Others vein the leaves by pressing
them between dies, or paint the petals
separately, with brush when the CEN
ter is to be left white. Most Of them
are busy with the finer work of con-
structing the flowers. They gum and
wax, dust for bloom with potato flour,
or with blow glass powder for frost I:
they twist paper or silk thread to the
stalk, and make the foundation on
which the petals may stick Slender
wires are run through the blossoms,
and a small goffering iron gives them
their curl. All this is straining and
fidgety work, especially by gaslight,
with blistered fingers, thumb nails
worn to the quick, and the dust of
paints and other materials infiaming
the eyes and preparing patients for the
Ophthalmic Hospital. The bright
blues and carmines try the sight sadly.
and the latter causes heaviness in the
head. Arsenic green and verdigris blue
are now seldom used but enough is
left to poison the poor ''fiower girls"
existence. She works in London four
teen or fifteen hours q day, and some
times longer. After thirteen hours
work, girls often take home sufficient
for two hours more.-London ReUie'0.
