scratch on his leg. The wound was a mat
ter Of great glory to him, and ho nursed !t
through after days, growing lamer with
every year, that the memory of his bravery
might be ever near him. Gradually. from
sheer ponderinc over his cloiies. he grow
to think that the success Of the battle de-
pended largely on his valuable services.
aud finally the impression grew and be-
came fixed on his mind that Scott was a
mere subordinate to himself. One dav.
late in life, as he sat nursing his leg and
pondering over the glorious past, young
man visiting the family rnr the first time.

WAITING FOR \ CAvE.-Three or four
days ago, within two or three miles Of
this city, Washington street mer-
chant, who had business in the city,
came to a small creek, beside which a ma
tive was washing his shirt. The man was
sousing the garment up and down and
around, and as he ''sOused' he whstlcd a
merry tune.
''Do you have to wash your own shirt ?''
inquired the merchant, as he halted.
Not allus, but old Bet has got one O.
her fits on jest now," vas the ready reply.
''Then you don't agree very well ?''
''Purty we'll on the general thing. Bets
and when we get our backs up we crawl off
to see who'll cave first"
"I shoeld think you would want some
soap?''
81 do
"Why don't you get it, tlen?''
"That would be caving to Bet, stranger.
She's squatted on the only bit of bar soap
tween here and Vicksburg, and she's jest
achin' for me to slide up and ask her for
it''
''And you won't?"
Stranger" replied the native, as he
Strengthened up, don't I look like a feller
that would wear shht three months afore
I'd cave in and holler Tor soap?''
The merchant sided with him. and as he
drove on, the man soused the shirt up and
down and went on with his whistIing. -

Caring for Lamps.

The Science of Health gives extended in
structions for taking care of lamps; branch
of domestic economy which many house
keepers are careless in:
In cleaning table lamps, remove the shade
carefully before soiling your hands with the
above blood heat), and in this first wash the
glass chimney; then pour the oil from the
fountain, and remove any sediment from
about the brass work; screw up the Wick and
if it is not long enough for the time 1t may
probably be required to burn, replace it with
a fresh one, by means of the stick. Having
washed all the brass work, wipe the parts
carefully, screw everything in its former posi-
ton, and take care, in replacing the Wick,
that the small notch at the side of the brass
enters the groove which is sunk to receive it !;
turn it up and down once or twice TO see that
it works freely; then prime it THAT is, ringe
the top), replace the fountain filled with
oil), chimney and shade; the lamp is now
ready for use. Purchase the best oil, as the
inferior qualities emit an offensive smell, and
produce so much sediment that the delicate
works of the lamns are quickly clogged, and
the current of air impeded, which causes it
to burn dim. Occasionally it is necessary to
wash the shade. This should be done in
clean, lukewarm water, with the admixture
of a little soda, which removes all the stains
and does not injure the appearance of the
ground glass. The glass chimneys will some
times crack with the heat, particularly in
frosty weather. This may be prevented by
scoring a small notch in the glass at top and
bottom.

POETRY.
[From the Evening Post.l
CHRISTMAS IN 1876.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

No trumpet blast profaned
The day on which the Prince of Peace was born;
No bloody streamlet stained
Earth's silver rivers on that sacred morn;
But oer that peaceful plain
The war-horse drew the peasants loaded vain.
I he soldier had laid by
His sword and stripped the corslet from his breast
Ard hung his helm on high,
The sparrow's winter home and summer nest;
And with the same strong hand
That flung the barbed spear, he titled the land.
Oh time for which we yearn!
oh Sabbath of the nations, long foretold
Season Of peace, returni
Like a late summer when the year grows old
When its sweet sunny days
Steep mead and mountains in golden haze.
For now two rival kings
Flaunt Ger our bleeding land their hostile flags,
And every morning brings
The lowering vulture from the mountain crags
To where the battle plain
Is strewn with dead the youth and flower of Spain.
Christ is not come while yet
Ger half the earth the threat of battle lowers,
And our own fields are wet,
Beneath the battle-cloud, with crimson showers
The lite-bood of the slain,
Poured out where thousands die that one may reign
Yet soon, o'er half the earth,
In every temple, crowds shall kneel again
To celebrate His birth
Who brought the message of good will to men;
And bursts ofjoyous song
Shall shake the roof above the prostrate throng.
Christ is noe come while there
The men of blood, whose crimes affront the skies,
Kneel down in act of prayer.
Amid the joyous strains, and, when they rise,
Go forth, with sword and fame,
To waste the land in His most holy name.
Oh when the day shall break
Der realms unlearned in waIfare's cruel arts,
end all their millions wake
To tasks of peaceful hands and loving hearts,
On such blessed morn
Well may the nations say that Christ is born.

care will be needed in laying the covering so
that it shall not press upon ard break in the
wall.
AS the water cannot run from the bottom
of cistern if it is lower than the cellar of the
barn, it is useless to dig them very deep un-
less the water is 10 be lifted by force. If they
are made very wide it is difficult to support
the covering of earth, but we can see no seri-
Gus objection to building them in an oval form
to any desirable extent. The walls of the
shell of cement are much stronger if built
somewhat circular, than if they are perfectly
fiat on either side. 1t seems very strange
that more cisterns are not built both for sta
bles and for family use, when the cost is SO
slight and the work 50 simple. There is
nothing quite equal to good cool spring
near by the buildings, from which water can
be drawn by pipes TO every room without la
Dor, but next to this we class good cistern,
so placed that the water may be used by the
stock without pumping. and this can be done
on nearly all hillside situations.-N. r..

since mis- entrance into the Scientific
School in 1872, has been noted for his excellent
boating ability, and has pulled with several vic.
torious crews. In 1874 he was promoted TO the
University crew, and his fine rowing at Saratoga

considered hlm the best boating man In college,
His loss at this time is irreparable. The accident
