says:

marries a churl for his wealth will find that

desert mountain, where cold mooubcams
sometimes glitter, but no birds sing, but wild
storms howl and hoarse thuuders roar, and
through the sweeping storms shall be heard
the stern voice Of the great God, saying, "Your
riches are corrupted, your garments are moth
eaten, your gold and silver are cankered, and
thc rust Of them shall be witness against
you, and cot your flesh as if j: were fire."

And that my love has only deeper grown
In all the time that We have loved apart.

And idly fall to dreaming "i the past,
And sadly think Of all your lie has missed,
You viii remember my true love at last.
Or it may come to pass, some dreary night
After day that has been hard 70 bear,
When you are weary, heattsick, and ioriorn,
And there is none 10 comfort or 10 care,
That you will close your tired eyes g dream
OF tender kisses falling soft aud light
Ofrcstrul touches smoothing back your hair,
And sweet words spoken for your hearts delight
Oh! then you will remember and be glad
That have kept YOU ever in my heart,

A RiUe7. of lnk.

Among the wonders of nature in
Algeria, there is a river of natural ink.
1t is formed by the junction of two
streams, one flowing from a region of fer,
ruginous soil, and the other draining a
peat swamp. The waters of the first
are. of course, very strongly im%pregnated
with iron those of the latter with gallo
acid. On meeting the acid of one stream
is united with the iron of the other, and
a true ink is the result. The banks of
the united streams would be, of all
placesin the world, the colony of authors.
Fields of esparto grass, for paper-making,
might be sown in the neighborhood, the
paper-mills might be turned blythe inky
flood, and geese be reared to supply quill
pens. The members of the republic of
letters would there do nothing all day
long but sit dangling their feet in the
water, occasionally dipping their pens
ina peaceful crew, except, perhaps,
when they would please each other by
reading long extracts from their unpub-
lished works.

slightly damp, claiming that the heating
which generally follows through the
presence of moisture, kills the eggs of the
insect.
A FEvERIsH thirst that refuses to be
quenched by drinking water may be al
layed in the following manner: Throw
a slice of bread upon burning coal, and
when it is all alame throw it into a
tumbler of water. This remedy has been
tested and proved good.
THE recipe for the original Spalding's
Glue (Which is as good as any of the
sticking preparations to be used cold), is
as follows: To n pound of good glue
put three pints of cold water and let it
soak fifteen hours, then melt in a hot
water bath /; when melted and thoroughly
mixed, add one quart of crude acetic
acid and three ounces of cheap glycerine
and stir well together. If too thick, add
more acetic acid. Vinegar in the place
of the acid won't answer.
