a Seaside Incident.

WHY, Bob, you dear old fellow,
Where have you been these years?
In Egypt, India, Khiva,
With the khan's own vOunteersl
Have you scaled the Alps or Andes,
Sailed TO the isles OF AmaZOnsl
What climate, Bob has wrought the
change
Your face from brown to bronze?"
She placed dimple hand in mine,
In the same frank friendly way;
We stood once more on the dear old
beach,
And it seemed but yesterday
Since, standing on the same white shore,
She said with eyelids wet
Good bye. You may remember, Bob,
But shall not forget"
[ held her hand and whispered low
"Ma6ge, darling, what of the years
The two long years that have lntervened
Since, through the midst OF tears,
We looked goodbye on this same white
beach.
Here by the murmuring Sc a?
You, Madge, were then just twenty,
And | was twenty-three."
A crimson blush came to her cheek,
g Hush. Bob, she quickly said
" Let's look at the batners III the slrt-
There's Nellie and cousin Ned "
" And who's that portly gentleman
On the shady side of litel"
& Oh. he belongs to our party. too
In fact, Bob, I'm his wife"
d" And tell you, Bob, it's an awful thing,
The way he does behave;
First with that girl witIe the steel-gray
silk
Bob, why do you look so gravel"
& The fact Is, Madge, well-ahem
Oh nOlAlng at all, my dear
Except that she of the steel-gray silk
Is the one | married last year"

Useful Hints.

To preserve flowers in water,
mix a little carbonate Of soda in
the water and it will preserve the
flowers a fortnight. Saltpetre is
also good.
If broOms are wet in boiling suds
once a week, they will become
very tough, and will not cut car
pet, last much longer and always
sweep like a new broom.
To keep apples fresh yoar, use
dry sand, dry your barrel, put in
a layer of apples and layer of
sand until fnll, cover tight and
keep where they will not freeze.
Yellow stains, commonly called
iron mould, are removed from
linen by hydrochloric acid or hot
solution Of oxalic acid. Wash we'll
in warm water afterwards.
FOrty-six pounds of meat, three
fOurths of d0und of salt, three
ounces of black paper, half an
ounce of sage, and a tablespoonful
of red pepper will make excellent
sausageS.
A small piece of paper or linen,
mOistened with the spirits of tur-
pentine and put into bureau or
wardrobe for IA single day, two or
three times, it is said to be suf1i-
cient preservative against moths.
The best way to cook Goldfish is
to strip it Of its skin and cut it in
pieces about the size ofOne's hand;
place it in water and allow it to
cimmer on the stove until it be-
comes tender. It should never
allowed to boil. Boiling hardens
and darkens the fish and deprives
it of its flavor.

a Rat.

Yesterday morning, says the
Burlington HaaCkeye, a lady Whn
lives out in West ftill Was moved
by reading the city lyric" on the
subject, to godOWn into the cellar
and see how the moisture was.
She did not go down, however,
for the water was there before
her, and had been there all night,
and had driven the rats out to
higher ground, like the poor peO-
pie in Happy Hollow. She had
not more than opened the door,
when great rat sprang between
her dress and pet-O-ur-O-
skirt, and scrabbled up into an un-
easy resting place, The next in
stant the lady had him in her
nervous grasp, holding dress skirt
and rat with a desperate grasp,
despite the struggling and squir-
ming of the rodent. And back
into the kitchen she went and the
matinee opened. The lady is a
church member, and has never
taken lesson in dancing in her
life; bnt she WaltZed across the
kitchen, and galioped through the
sitting room, and polkaed down
the hall, and SchOttished back to
the dining-rOOm, and reeled back
into the kitchen, where she jig
ged and shuffied and piroutted,
never missing step, and furnish
ing her own music all the time,
while her sisterand three children
ran after her, shrieking and yell
ing for help, under the impression
that she had gone mad, and be-
seeching her to tell what was the
matter. She told them at last,
when the orchestra was out of
breath; and, when she told them,
they all shrieked in chorus, and
ran out of the room; but returned,
climbed upon the table, and beg
ged her to turn the rat loose
Perish the thought, she said. In
all her wild dance, while striving
to quiet her nerves, she had CLING
to that rat, 1t had caused her too
much fright to escape now. She
held on to him, and wasn't going
to let go of him till the headsman
WAS ready.
A council of war determined
that the best way to kill a rat was
to put him in bag and pound or
drown him. The lady ordered
the galleries cleared, and then
with many shriekS and trembling
but determined hands, she emp
tied the rat into the bag that her
sister had given her, and called
in the family. When the house
was again in session, the rat was
chased into a corner Of the bag,
the lady who captured him put
her foot on the bag to keep him
in his place, and her sister, pOis-
ing the heavy poker over the rat,
took good aim, raised the poker
high above her head, shut hel
ewes and averted her head, so that
she might not see the carnage,
and then, summoning all hel
strength, struck the deadly blow
A loud, piercing shrek, that
curdled the blood with the inten'
sity of its agony, followed the
blow, and as the eXecutiOner Op
ened her eyes, she beheld the un'
fortunate rat-catcher at the Other
end of the room, seated on the
t1oor, swaying to and fro. nursing
her bruised and beaten foot, while
the rat, greatly frightened by the
noise, ran out of the bag jumped

Last Saturday was one of the most
pleasant days that we ever saw at this
time Of the year. 1t Was regular Indian
sun,mer-so warm that men appeared ON
the streets without coats. The sun beam
ed upon US in rays of amber and gold,
and the soft south wind rustlcd through
the !eafless trees with as much gcntleness
as though it had just been kissing orange
blossoms. The next day was cold and
stern and drcary, with few drops OF
rain-suggesting tears Of sorrow for the
beauty which had but so recently depart
ed. Nature like morta's, has her moods
and if the s leet and the frost follow the
sunshine and the dew, in the material
world as laughter and song arc succeeded
in the social, by anguish and prayer
we may nevertheless hope that the cloud:
Of gloom will soon bc dispelled from tho
sky, and that hearts stricken with grie
may ere long he lightsome and glad.
