MIsQUOTATIONs.-P which ought
to be most familiar are continually turn
ing in the mouths of that numerous
class-the. people-''who ought to know
better,' in shapes far removed indeed from
their original ones. Most persons, indeed,
seemed to be possessed OF ''just enough
learning to misquote." A few familiar
examples may be given. Newspaper
writers are constantly employing the line
"Westward the star of Empire takes it's
way" to point their paragraphs and
round off their sentences.
But Bishop Berkely wrote, s'the course
of Empire" and said nothing at all about
a star.
'::Thee famous passage in Hamlet"
''There's a divinity that shapes. our ends,
Rongh-haw them how we will,' is con-
stantly misquoted, being sometimes given
as, "There is a Providence that shapes
our end" or, in the last line, "Rough-hew
them as we will.''
People are continually talking about
''the ills that flesh is heir to- and think
that they are quoting Hamlet when they
use the words but the phrase in Hamlet's
great soliloquy is, ''the thousand natural
shocks that flesh is heir to-
''Gray's couplet, in the elegy," ''Along
the cool sequestered vale of life They kept
the noiseless. tenor of their way is in
varibly quoted as "the even tenor,' the
latter phrase having actually become pro-
verbal. The familiar line, "Fine by de-
grees and beautifully less," is usually quo
ted: ''Small by degrees and beautifully
less.
These are fragrant instances but the
list might be Indefinitely extended. One
curious example may be noted of an En-
roneous use of phrase, which, however,
involves rather a mis-quotaton. The line
in the 9th psalm, "For SO he giveth His
beloved Sleep" has been the theme OF
thousands of sermons, and of at least one
beautiful poem. Yet it Is certainly mis-
quotation of the sacred writer, whose
words really are: cit is vain for you to rise
up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of
sorrow, for so he giveth unto his beloved
in their sleep''-the idea being that the
gifts of God cannot be purchased by labor
and effort but are freely given to his cho-
sen ones while they are sleeping.

SOAK Your BUTTER TUgs.-Some
careless sdairymen pack their butter in
new tubs and frkins without being soak
ed. That is wrong, as they impart the
flavor OF the wood to the butter, and de-,
preciate the value from two to five cents
per pound. Soak your tubs and firkins
twentyfour hours. then change the water.
and soak twenty -four hours longer; and be
careful to have no decaying vegetables nor
anything that throws out an unpleasant
smell in your cellar, as your butter will be
affected by such things, no matter how
closely it is covered.

To WHITEN WALL.--If the ceiling is
very smooth, use calcimite, made as fol-
lows Four pounds of paris white, put in
a pail, cover it with water. and let it stand
over night; put into tin kettle handful
of glue, cover with cold W.: + in the
morning set the glue on the stove, and add
enough warm water to make quart, and
stir until dissolved; add the glue to the
paris white, stir well, and pour in enough
warm water to make paid three-quarters
full; then add blueing and a little lime;
stir well until it is very slightly blueish.
Use a>good brush; go over one place in the
wall until thoroughly wet; if your brush
dries quickly add more warm water; the
mixture is too thick; the brush must be
kept wet. But if your ceiling IS slightly
rough, use the mixture without the glue,
as the glue will not work on rough CELL
ing. If very rough and looking as if it
would peel off, go over it simply with ten
cents worth of powdered alum, dissolved
in two quarts of water. This will remove
the superfiuous lime and leave your ceiling
white. Always use the calcimine with
glue on the sides of wall, as it doesn't
rub off.

FARM AND FIREsIDE.

HANGING BASKETs.-An old fg-drum
or salt-box can be converted into love-
ly hanging basket by drilling holes in three
places, to pass wires through and then nail
ing upon the out side strips of bark, pine
cones or dry moses; and you will possess
a rustic basket which can be suspended
from the trees, or poarch or piazza, and
|, will grow in beauty daily. If you are so
fortunate as to live in the vicinity of
saw-mill or a lanyard, you can easily pro-
cure messy oak or hemlock bark, and these,
mingled with the pliable stems of Wild
grape vines, will afford you rustic work
which will be the admiration of every one
Take any old shallow box Of the dimen-
slons you may desire, or make one that
flares out at the sides, and cover it with
strips of the bark, joined neatly, and tight
ly nailed on. Finish the top with strip
of bark around the edge, and glue on moss
here and there to give it pretty effect.
Then use the grapevine for handles twist
ing two or three of them together and you
will have handle of Natures own handi-
work, over which you can train vines,
while in the box can be planted. all kinds
of basket plants, such as ivy, geraniums,
variegated sweet alyssum, tradescantia,
money-wort, tropelums, etc.
Window-boxes Can be made to fit into
any window in this manner, and when
filled with charcoal at the bottom, and
rich sandy loan, and planted with bud
ding out plants, like asters or balsams,
they are lovely ornament for months to
come.
Beautiful hanging baskets can also be
made out of the bark and grape-vines,
taking square bit of the bark for the bot
tom of the basket, and building up the
sides, log-cabin fashion, out of the pieces
of grapevine, sawed into equal lengths,
and fastened strongly at the ends with
wire and shingle nails. A curved piece of
the vine can be made to do duty for
handle.

When the hot wasp hung in the grape last year,
And tendrils withered and leaves grew sere,
There was little to hope and nothing to fear,
And the smouldering autumn sank apace,
And my heart was hollow and cold and drear.
