Ladies who like otto of roses as
a perfume car make it In any iea-
sonable quantity desired at an al
most nominal expense, by saving
up the rose-leaves which fall 30
plentiful at this season of the year.
Take a two gallon glass jar and fill
full of clean, freshly-picked rose
leaves. Then cork 1t tight, and
take d two ounce vial and AT the
neck into the cork Of the two-gal-
len jar. cut some sponge into
narrow strips ; soak them In good
oil, free from smell or rancidity,
put the strips into the small vial,
turn 1t upside down, and put the
neck into the bung of the large
jar. Place them in the sun four
days, and the heat will distill the
rose leaves, and the aroma Will as
cend and saturale the oil in the
sponge. Put in fresh leaves about
four times, and you will have a
small vial Of the finest otto ofrOses
that can be made. Be sure and
keep it well corked, as 1t evap-
crates verJ easily. A great saw
ing can be made in this way since
pure otta roses costs thirty dollars.

The OLD STATE HOUSE BELL.
BY GEORGE LIPPARD.

Let me paint you a picture on
the canvass of the past.
It is a cloudless summer day.
Yes, a clear blue sky arches and
smiles above a quaint edifice, ris-
ing among giant trees in the cen
tire of a wide city. That edifce is
built of red brick with heavy
window frames and amasssive hall
door. The wide-spreading dome
of ST. Peters, the snowy pillars of
the Parthenon, the gloomy glory
of Westminster Abby-nOne of
these nor anything like these are
here, to elevate this edifice of plain
red brick, into a gorgeous monou-
ment of architecture.
Plain red brick the walls; the
windows partly framed in stone I;
the roof-eaves heavy with intri-
cate carvings the hall doorsorna-
mented with pillars of dark stone;
such is the State House of Phila-
delphia, in this year of our Lord,
1776.
Around this edifce stately trees
arise. Yonder towards the dark
walls of of Walnut street goal,
spreads a pleasant lawn. Benches
too, rude benches, on which repOse
the forms of old men with grey
hairs, and women with babies in
their arms.
This is a beautiful day, and this
apleasant lawn ; but why do those
cluster citizens, with anxious faces,
gather around the State House
walls +? There is the merchant in
his velvet garb and ruf1ed shirt (;
there the mechanic with apron on
his breast and tools in his hands ;
there the sailor and the dark-robed
Minister. all grouped together.
Why this anxiety on every face?
This gathering in little groups all
over the lawn!
Yet hold a moment ! In yonder
wooden steeple, which crowns the
red brick State House, stands an
old man with white hair and sum
burnt face. He is clad in humble
attire, yet his eye CLEANS, as it is
fixed upon the ponderous ontline
of the bell, suspended in the stee-
pie there. The old nan tries to
read the inscription on that bell,
but cannot. Out upon the waves,
far away in the forest {; thus has
his life been passed. He is no
scholar ; he scarcely can spell one
of those strange words carved on
the surface of that bell.
BY his side, gazing in his face
that sunburnt face-in wonder,
stands a flaxen-haired boy, with
laughing eyes of summer blue.
"Come here, my boy /; you are
a rich mans child. You can read.
Spell me those words,and ri bless
We, my good child"

The Wheeling Evening STAN
dard says: We are informed that
in recent letters to, and converse
tons with his constituents, Con-
gresham Faulkner has indicated
his attention to make no canvass
for reelection TO his present seat
in the House Of Representatives.
Probably the principal reason of
such declination il founded upon
the proposed presentation OF his
namo before the legislature next
winter as u candidate for Senator
ship, and while we should dislike
to see him give up his seat in the
one house, on any uncertain pros
pect of a seat In the other, the re-
fusal to make any contest for his
present place pending the settle
ment Of the senatorial question, Is
perhaps well founded. There Is q
not unreasonable unwillingness in
the popular mind of this State,
against taking a man from one
important political position for
the purpose ofgiving him another
unless apparent necessity exist,
for such transfer. What the exact
necessity is In the Ease under con-
sideration, we are not now pre-
pared to state, but perhaps MI.
Faulkner's conclusion to give up
his seat under all existing circum-
stances, Is a wise one. Atany rate
it will be acceptable to q good
many aspirants for Congressional
hOnOrS In the second District.

as strong as 1t Is tender. Yes,sure-
.ly, we will not deny that it is our
nature to ask for comfort and sup
portland to seek to twine ourselves
about something that can offer 1t.
And there isno better reason than
this very trait of ours why we
should be careful how we give our
hearts, and make very sure that
the man we choose, also has a
heart-a strong and honest one
and that his love ls.of the kind to
be enduring, and that he has in
grained in his nature that most ex-
cellent and manly quality-trust-
worthine5s. He should be an oak

summer weather the vine may
drape the reed very prettily, 1t
will not resist the tempest.

ing woman, lat its beginning struck
perhaps very near the root Of the
evil. "Rich people know why
they lose their riches" she said,
"but what ails the poor is fringe
and feathers. Twenty years ago
a carpenters wife like me wore a
calico at work, and put on 9 sum
bonnet to 60 to market. Every
dollar she saved went to buy q
home for her children or into the
savings bank. Now she keeps a
a servant, and calls in a.sleazy silk
and feathered hat to leave her or
ders at the grocers. There's no
money at the end of the year
to buy a house, or even to pay the
grocer's bill. Feathers and fringe
have done the work I suspect, with
other than the carpenters wife,"

Profanity and q Mule,

The Texas Legislature recently passed
u bill which makes ii a misdemeanor,
punishable by a fine Of 800, for a per-
son to nse profane language within the
hearing Of any private dwelling. The
Morristown Herald says that a mans
mule got baulky in a Texas town the
other days, and the mar got angry. The
beast would start off suddenly, run
about twenty yards and then stop ff-
teen minutes to survey the neighbour
hood, and before the man got out Of
town he owed the authorities $50, 900.

ssCOD BLESS OUR STARS FOR

God bless our Stars ~ferever!"
Thus the Angels sans sublime,
When round Gods FORCES ~futtered fast,
The spar IS of starry Timei
When they famed them with their pinions.
Till they kindlsd into day,
And revealed Creation 8 bosom,
Where the in FAINT Eden lay.
ssGod bless our stars for ever!"
Thus they sang-the seers fold.
When they beckoned to the Morning,
Through the Futures misty fold;
When they waved the wand Of wonder
When they breathed the Magic word,
And the pulses golden glimrner,
Showed the waking Grants, heard.
..God bless our stars for ever!"
It's the burden of the song,
Where the sail through hollow midnight
Is Il pickering along,
When a ribbon of blue Heaven
Is q cleaning through the clouds,
With q star or two upon it,
For the sailor in the shrouds.
ssGod bless our stars for everi"
1t is LIBERTY's refrain,
From the SHOWS of wild Nevada
To the sounding woods OF Maine;
Where the green Multuomah wanders,
Where the Alabama rests,
Where the Thunder shakes bis turban
Ger Alleghany's crests.
Where the mountains Of New England
Mock Atlantic's stormy main,
Where Gods pain imprints the Prairie
With the type of Heaven again
Where the mirrored morn is dawning,
Link TO link tho Lakes along,
And Sacramento's Golden Gate
Swinging open to the song
There and there! Our stars for ever"
How it echoesi How it thrills.
Blot that banner, Why, they bore it
When no sunset bathed the hills.
Now over BUNKER see it billow,
Now at BENNINGTON it waves,
TIcoSDERoaA swells beneath,
And SARAToGAis graves!
OH long ago at LEXINGTON,
And above those minute men,
The "Old Thirteen" were blazing bright
There were ONLY thirteen then!
Gods own stars are cleaning through it
Stars not woven in its thread;
Unfurl it, and that flag will glitter
With the Heaven overhead.
Oh! it waved above the Pilgrims,
On the pinions of the prayer;
Oh. it billowed DER the battle,
On the surges ofthe air;
Oh! the stars have risen in it,
Till.the Eagle is elate-
And FREEDOM from her mouataln watch
To day counts ''Thirty-Eight!"
When the weary years are hating,
In the mighty march of Time,
And no NEW ones throng the threshold
OF its corridors sublime;
When the clarion call, ''close up"
Rings along the line no more.
Then adieu thou blessed Banner,
Then adieu. and not before!

The Negro Vote.

The Rev. DR.. Bellows sermon yes
terday on the political situation will
attract special attention, because the
preacher is known to have been an
earnest and at times an active mem
Der of the Republican party. He
was in hearty sympathy with that
party during the war and after it, and
it was believed, supported the meas
ures of reconstruction of the Union.
He was one of the officers of the Wall
street meeting On the 4th of Novem
Der, and member Of the Republican
Reform Club, under whose manage
ment that meeting was held and
which was influential and industri
Gus in behalf of the Republican can
didates. What he says in quali6ca-
ton of extreme Republicans claims
and assumptions, therefore, has par
ticular weight. DR.. Bellows is re
ported to have said:
els there any fair minded man
who does not now suspect that the
difficulties in these States South
Carolina and Louisiana are inherent
and incurable by any action or waut
of action, on the part of the Central
Government? They proceed from the
predominance Of the negro vote.
Will anybody deny that it is a great
to those States to be at
the political mercy of horde of re
cent slaves. still uneducated and only
partly civilized? We find it difficult
at times, right here in this city of
New York, to have our government
mainly chosen by the votes of re-
Gently naturalized foreigners, igno-

Tilted American Girls.

WASHINGTON, November 1.-The
notice Of the arrival at New York of
Earl Roseberry reminds me of the
number of American girls who have
been Tilted by foreigners on account
of their lack of fortune. Settlements
always form so prominent part Of
marriage in the old countries that
these foreigners attempt the same
stipulations in the United States.
There are more than one Of the fair
bellies of this city who have suffered
from this cause. One young lady
even went so far as to change her re-
ligion in order to remove what the
family called an objection. Her low
err departed with the promise of re-
turning. She has never seen him
since, but shortly after his arrival in
France he wrote to announce his
marriage to lady whom his father
had selected for him on account Of
the dover she brought. Six years
ago Count TurenDe, one of the at
tacbes of the French Legation,
plighled his troth to beautiful girl
in Georgetown. The Count met with
an accident in his childhood that has
dwarfed his proportions, and pro-
duced lameness from which he will
never recover. Notwithstanding
these defects, the young lady pre-
ferred him to all other suitors. The
The Counts father refused his sane
tion to a marriage without the neces-
sary settlement being made This
the young lady's father cannot do,
without impoverishing his large fam
ily;and much as they would like to
be allied to the great house of Tu-
renne, they are not disposed to make
SO great sacrifice. The Count was
so jealous of his betrothed that while
he was here he would not permit her
to see any company, even with her
sisters in her mothers parlor. When
he returned to Europe, five years ago
be laid the same injunction upon her.
She has been recluse all this time.
while he enjoys society in Paris and
Rome. Every six months it is an
nonnced that the marriage is to take
place, but, "He comes not" she cries.
Most people believe that he is incon-
slant, and that he no longer desires
his fathers consent. His letters and
presents continue to arrive, and it
may be a case of true love, but if all
is true that is said of such alliances.
tue deserted girls are the most for
tunate. Three engagements are just
now announced of Washington girls
to foreigners, and each one pleases
and satisfies society," Griselda in
Hartford Times.
