SOME of the ablest commentators have cx-

contributed two mites to the Temple treasury,
and have presented various views as to what re-
lation they bore to the woman's whole property !;
but 1t has been reserved for Wisconsin Sunday
school teacher to give the the most original ex-
position. She said: ''Now, girls want you to
understand this. You see, she was poor wo-
man. 1t makes me think how my dear old moth
er used to work late into the night, before the
old fireplace. And there is no doubt in my mind

self to sell at the store the next day for some
thing to eat; but she cast the pair of new mitts
all that she had-into the treasury, from love

A CORRESPONDENT of the Country Gentleman
writes: 81 have learned by some pretty rough
experience, that if we allow the first ice of the
season to pass away ungathered, we very often
have to do without it the following Summer,
therefore have adopted a rule, seldom varied
from, which is to fill my ice house as it
is Of sufficient thickness to handle-say three
and half to four inches. Last Winter it would
have been better if we had waited to obtain it
10 to IL inches thick, for there is doubt it
would have kept better, but as some re-
marked that doubtful things are very uncer-
tain,' adhered to my plan of doing nothing else
when / could get ice. None of it was more than
5 inches thick"
