DR.. Lord, OF Buffalo, is appearing in
the newspapers. Her friends having
objected to the marriage, it was decided

her absence from home was noted,
there was found addressed to her rela-
tives, a note from her chosen husband
which explained matters briefly, as fol-
lows; 1.-The Lord gave, and the Lord
hath taken away; blessed be the name
of The Lord -

IRON WORK may be effectually secured
from rust by treating it with melted
paraffin whilst heated under pressure.
If paint is used where heat is impracti-
cable, il should always be mixed with
the best linseed oil, and turpentine

Alcohol and Coid.-At a meeting
given to the Good Templars of the
English arctic expedition, Mr.. William
Malley, of the Alert, in relating his ex-
periences, said that, among the few
men who escaped scuryy, and did any
sledeing worthy of notice, were four

grocery for % cents per pound.

WHAT THE BIRDS Do.-Farmerss should
spare the birds. While it is undeniable
that they are sometimes severe on the
corn and sprouting grain, it is never
theless a fact that tley compensate for
it by destroying insects that might do
more damage. The swallow, swift and
nighthawk are the guardians of the at
mUsphere. They check the increase of
insects that would otherwise overload
it. Woodpeckers, creepers, and chica-
dees, are the guardians of the trunks of
trees. Warblers and fiycatchers pro-
tect the foliage. Blaekbirds, thrushes,
crows and larks protect the surface of
the soil; snipe and woodcock the soil
under the surface. Each tribe has its
respective duties to perform in the
economy Of nature; and it is an un
doubted fact that il the birds were all
swept away from the earth, men could
not live upon it; vegetation would
wither and die, insects would become
so numerous that no living thing could
Withstand their attacks.

necessary 10 DO this thoroughly, else the

How TO PREPARE EGG ToAsT.-A
thinly cut slice of toast well Drowned,
but not burned, and an egg or two
dropped into boiling water IN which
one teaspoonful Of vinegar has been
poured and a little salt added TO il.
Pour tablespoonful of boiling water
over bit of butter as large as walnut,
turn it over the toast and if it Is very
dry dip the whole of it into melted
butter and water, soaking the crust
completely. Skim out the eggs rs soon
as the whites are firmly set, put them
upon the toast, edge the plate with a
few sprigs OF fresh green parsley or
some sweet geranium leaves, serve upon
salver covered with white napkin
and an invalid will usually eat OF it
with great relish.

CANARY SEED.-With the immense in
crease in the consumption of this COM
monty used seed, IL seems strange that
no steps are taken TO grow it in our own
country. 1t is as easily produced as wheat
or oats, and yields proliiically. Forty
or fifty bushels per acre can be readily
produced, and while i. may not be a
hardy plant it will stand considerable
frost, and our seasons will give ample
time to plant and mature a crop. A few
acres devoted to growing canary seed
will return large profits, as it is now all
imported and pays duty. Some enter
prising farmer can set an example and
not only demonstrate the fact, but put
money in his pocket. Let US be pro-
ducers instead of importers.

A MINISTER from a neighboring town
came to this city few days ago. He
was out late at night, and returning TO
his hotel, was suddenly met in lonely
part of the city by q highwayman, who
thrust a pistol at the clergyman and de-
manded ''His money or his life." The
minister was startled. but his presence
of mind did not forsake him, and he
thus addressed the wOuld-be-thief in
the most solemn and affecting tone
''My good man, you shall have every
cent possess. give it to you will
ingly, but 1 hope you will listen to me
for a moment" The preacher then
went to work and went over a whole
sermon, and i'm the most melting terms
besOught him to forsake his present
mode of making living. The stars
twinkled above in undimmed glory and
the sad winds whirled around the all
jacent corner. Ii was an impressive
occasion, and the silent influences OF
night, ia connection with the eloquent
and sweetly modulated tone OF the
preacher, caused the robber to soften
and grow penitent. The preacher saw
this, and watching an opportune
moment, exclaimed: "My friend, you
have done me a wrong, though you
shall have my money. But get down
on your knees and ask forgiveness for
your sins" The penitent thief got
down on his knees, and when he had
completely unhinged, the preacher
kicked him i'm the stomach and then
ran up street like a narrow-gauge
engine.

HORSE CoLLARs.-The VALLEY Farmer
says collars are, OF should be, so made,
as 10 throw the chief force on the lower
part of the shoulder. The horse can
apply but little strength on the upper
part, and for this reason breast collars
are coming greatly into vogue, as the
strength is exerted on the lower part of
the shoulder. The collar should be pur-
chased of the proper size. Just before
putting II on the first time, immerse il
in water letting it remain about a min
ute, and Immediately put it on TO work.
The collar, by being wet, will adapt it.
self to the shoulder, and should dry on
the horse. When taken off, it should be
left IN the same shape it occupied on
the horse, and ever alter you will have
snug titting collar and no wounds.
WHITE HOLLAND TURKEYS. - The
Poultry Journal and Record says: This
variety OF turkeys is becoming more
popular as the public become better ac-
quainted with their excellent table
qualities and beauty; for certainly a
large, clean, healthy white turkey is as
beautiful a fowl as any one could wish
to see. They are pure white in plu-
mage, with pink legs, and of good 8 re.
though not so large as the bronze, and
yet large enough for market; and we
are told are as hardy, and stand onr
severe changes of temperature in win
ter better than any other variety. The
feathers are nearly equal to geese fea-
theirs for sale, and will bring almost as
much if carefully selected, and the large
feathers stripped.

glare of the MONDAY sun would l

celestial brightness, but in this soft
silvery sheen of the constant moon
would syllable forth the ecstatic song
of Eros. Oh, canst thou realize how
like the radiance of heaven thy beauty
beams upon me? And shall not the
blessed boon be always mine? Wilt
thou not henceforth, for all coming
time, give me the right to shield thee
from the rough contact and chilling
blasts of an unfeeling world? Oh! if
thy smiles could be mine while life
should last they would shed-they
would shed-a-a-Ah, dearest, they

stumbled for word,-Fiducia eagerly
whispered, "Never mind the wood
shed, Augustus, but go right on with
your pretty talk"

GOLD FIsH.-Fish kept in glass globes
require q change of water about once q
week. The fish should be lifted out of
the globe into pan of water by means
of small net; piece of mosquito
netting sewn around hoop Of cane or
whalebone will answer the purpose.
The globe should then be cleaned and
filled with fresa water. Spring water
is not so good as water from stream.
it is too cold, and is not sufficiently
aerated. The fresh water should be
brought to an even temperature with
that which is removed before the fish
are put into it. Every day air should
be forced into the bottom of the water
in the globe with small pair of bel
lows or rubber globe. The oxygen
which sustains the life of the fish is de-
rived from the air held in solution by
the water. This is rapidly used up by
the respiration of the fish, and il not
replaced the fish will suffer and die. a
worm cut into small portions, or a few
fine shreGls of lean meat, may be given
every two days for food. What is not
eaten should be removed from the
water.
