her fault or BY i'll int

BY her fault OF BY i'll tate
Left in great London desolate
Of helpers and Of cOmfoSters:
Without one heart to beat with hers:
without one hand in tenderness
And sympathy her hand to press:
A lone soul lett, dispassionate,
Without one link OF love or hate.
From her lodging, poor and bare,
And high up In the emoke-dim All,
With cherries heart and aimleSs feet,
She descended to the street,
Where the people, coming, going,
Ceaseless as = rivers flowing,
Seemed as.'miperturbable- =,
As though no heart-warm tear could well
Into those dry eyes no sob
Ever could those set lips rob
OF their sterness. With blind stare,
They pass woman in despair.S
With hopeless heart. with weary ieet'
She wanders on from street 10 street,
Restless as withered leaf
Fallen from its parent tree,
Goaded by q sleepless grief,
Dogged by dull perplexity;.
Passing along in dumb despair,
Deserted street and silent square.
Into the shadow black and deep
OF doorway she doth shrink,
Crouching there she cannot weep,
Waiting there she cannot think.
AS tide by river-wall
Lappeth ever YEARLY.
Round her soul despair doth call
Constantly aud drearily.
As ro9nd The ancient gable peaks ks s,r;...
Rise the bitter gusts Of pain.
Steps are heard against the stone;
One cometh down tue street alone,
And upon the footsteps follow,
mid the dark roofs echoes hollow.
On he comes, all unaware
Of the deep misery lurking there.
He pauses not, but paseon:
She speaketh not, and he Is gone.
She thinks "He would but reckon me
Silence again. A wild intent
The pang woke in her A. IL went
She soes-naught with her down the stree
But haunting echoes OF her feet;
She stands where far below is heard
The rivers one unchanging word.
She stands and listens, and doth know.
Beneath the waters seward 60.
Like an incarnation drear
She hears them wash by wharf and pier
Will none come to save her yet?
Her foot is Oh the parapet;
Upward to starless heaven
One last hopeless look is given.
On each side stretches dark and far
The line OF roofs irregular.
And beneath . vast night.wall
Based in gloom funereal.
The blackness foweth up to meet
The wanderers world.weary feet,
And afar below it all
Still the river seems to call,
"Nortal, since thou canst not live,
Come, for have rest to give,
Over thee and thy sad woes
Secretly my wave shall close,
Spreading changeless over all;
Like mighty funeral pail.
A moment, agonized and mute,
Rigid, yet irreselute.
She stands. Then, with bitter cry,
But from her SOULS last agony.
Sheer down the black abyss she falls,
The river washeth by its walls.

SMALL POTS FOR HOUSE PLANTS.

OMAAA <O4o FUN 0OOoA &AAN ID.
How often do We hear the complaint:
II don't know why my plants do not
bloom in winter they oil seem to be
thriving, but produce no flowers" The
reason that such complaints are so com.
mon is simply this: They grow their
plants in pots that are too large for them
and when the time comes that they
should bloom we find the substance that
should 60 to the formation of buds and
flowers taken up in the luxuriant growth
of foliage with which the plant is clothed.
But this, although important, is not
the only advantage to be gained by the
use Of small pots. They are so much
handler in transferring from one place to
another, occupy so little room, and are in
every way so much mere desirable than
the large ones, that we would give them
the preference even If they did not en-.
hancc the blooming qualities Of the plants
which were grown in them.
OF course, small pots are not to be
recommended for all kinds Of plants, for
there are certain plants that will do no
good unless the roots have an abundance
Of room in which to expand and receive
nourishment. But for such plants as
fuschias, geraniums, sbutilons. cupnes,
and others upon which we depend for
flowers in winter, they will prove ex.
tremely valuable. Foliage plants, and
others Of which We do not expect flowers,
but want = luxuriant growth Of leaves,
should be grown in large pots.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

At this season tho Gala will be grow-
ing vigorously, and will need water more
abundantly. A saucer Of water under
the Gala is relished by this plant. 1t is
sub.aquatic in its nature. Other plants
have saucers under them in order to
keep the water from dripping on tn:
floor, but the water should not be al.
lowed to stand in them. The flower is
liable to the attacks of green fly, as in
deed are many plants which grow in win.
dows. There are many remedies which
gardeners use in greenhouses inapplica.
bic in rooms. The best thing for the
room gardner is to take the pots to
back kitchen, or, if not frosty. to the
open air, lay the pots on their sides and
syringe with warm soap suds.
A woman who raised large family
recommends housekeepers to take good
quality of unbleached cotton, run up the
breadths for top and lining Of quilt. and
then color it with any cheap domestic
dye, such as japonica, annatto, white oak
bark. or any such thing. Quilt them
coarscly, and put more cotton batting in
than would be needed for ordinary bed
quilts. They will wear years longer
than ordinary new calico, and are espcc.
tally to be desired in large families of
boys. If desired, outside spreads may be
made Of more fanciful materials.
The cause CT streaked butter is the i'm.
perfect working Of the butter after it is
sailed. Salt in butter sets the color, or
deepens and brightens it; so if the salt is
worked into the butter and not so fully
worked as to salt every part, then the
fresh butter retains the color it had
when it came from tho churn, and the
salted butter grows so much darker that
it is decidedly streaked. The remedy is
to work the streaked butter more thor.
oughly.
The best receipt for CLOSED shirt bos-
oms is: Take two ounces of fine gumar.
able powder, pour ON pint or more of
water, and then, having covered it, let it
stand all night. In the. morning pour it
carefully from the dregs into clean bot.
tie, and cork it for use. Add teaspoon.

PAINTING GRASSES.

A lady says In the Floral Cabinet: l
begin gathering the grasses rs soon as
mature, which IS at different seasons. In
June, blue grass, wheat, oats, and other
grain and grasses, are in right condition,
and then all along until frost. As l
gather the grasses and grain l have IN
old pan, pail, or box Of sand in dark
place, and stick the stems--a few in a
place-in an upright position in the sand.
In this way they do not dry too fast, re-.
tain their color better, are more pl;able
and graceful than when dried any other
way. leave them until I want the
room to place more; then remove them
to vases or some place, keeping their
heads up. When ready for painting, I
procure five cents worth each of chrome
green, Paris green, Chinese or California
vcrmilion, and yellow ochre. Mix equal
parts linsecd oil and turpentine, say one
gill each, in wide.mouthed vessel. then
make little sieve of two thicknesses of
carleton sewed on piece Of wire bent in
q circular form, little loose or bagging
the middle. Take one or two pieces Of
grass, lay the tops or parts to be painted
on an old plate or piece of tin. Gently
brush with the oil and turpentine with a
clean paint and varnish brush. Be care.
full not to get too much on, but touch it
all. Then with the little sieve sift On the
desired color. Lay it on paper for the
busting the color on, SO as to catch all
tho dry paint and prevent waste, as it can
be sifted on the next piece until used up.
Have the sand ready again to stick the
painted grasses in until dry, being care.
full not to let the different colols touch
until dry; then arrange to suit the taste,
mixing in good deal Of crystalized
grasses and grain, and if you do not
think them beautiful, write and let me
know. They are IS pliable as when in
