There are so many types of the en-
gagged girl that it is impossible to follow
their numerous caprices. Sometimes
the girl processes complete indifference
to her intended husband. She will not
be seen speaking to him. She openly
laughs at sentiment, and denies the ex-
istenCe of true love. She sneers at
moonlight walks, aud keeps her engage
ment ring loose in her work-basket.
Yet her feelings, such as they are, may
be well calculated to stand the test of
time and matrimony. 1t is perhaps
more pleasing to watch the behavior of
the young girl who is delighted with
her lover and her prospects. You are
expected to congratulate her, not as a
matter of form, but, as 1t were, spOntan-
eously. You may see no great reason
for congratulation. You may, in fact,
disapprOve of her choice; yet you must
not say so, else she will think you hard
hearted and critical. She expects you

Grief Changes as Life Changes.

This sense of the change of things
tempers men to men, and TO their CIR
cumstances. 1t limits the avariciOus
desires of men who seek to grasp the
world. 1t takes away the dOmineering
influence from time and chance. Men
live as if they Of universal and illimit-
able energy but no man carries very
much power, nor does he carry power
long, and, while he carries it, ii is con-
tinually changing or modifying more
OF less. We are never the same for two
days in succession. There is enough of
sameness to maintain consecutive life {;
but life itself, more narrowly viewed,
Is perpetually changing in its aspects.
The things we desire, we desire till we
get them, and when we get them they
turn to ashes-and ambition more than
almost anything else. In the very strife
by which we reach out we lose and no
men are less what they were when they
began their race and their conflict than
the men who seek power, position, am
plitude, that they may rule life; but
high or low, men are ruled by life and
only to a very limited extent do men
ever become sovereigns of the affairs
around about them, We do that which
we purpose to do; the will searches out
and selects here and there a few things
for accomplishment; but we stand in
the very gulf stream of time; and we
are acted upon by innumerable influ-
ences-ten thousand times ten thousand
Of them, that are working at the flesh,
at the nerve, at the bone, at thought, at
emotion, at the will, that are working
within and without, and that are per-
petually changing us. These changes
Of life will direct men to a better view
Of themselves as they are to be when
they have passed out of the material
stage and into the spiritual condition

The London Spectator, speaking of a
room in the old Kings arm in Lancaster
where Dickens once stayed, says:
son the whole, the Dickens room
suggests a night-light, and reading in
bed as long as n can keep ones eyes
open, so as to leave no margin for
fright, but in the daylight these mystic
rious things reveal themselves as the
very pieces of needlework on which
Mr.. Ruskin eXpatiates in his delight
full, simply-superlative style, in an
early number of ''Fors Clavigera."
"Here is, in IAN old silken sampler Of
great grandame's work much patient
industry devoted to the career of Abra-
ham, who is seer ruefully turning out
Hagar and Ishmael, and Hospitality en-
tertaining the angels; while Sarah ar
rayed in a very vOluminOus gown with
a stomacher, looks, laughing at both
performances out of the aperture of a
tent barely high enough for her to
stand upright in. This is the sillian
sampler of which Mr.. Ruskin says that
it is all wrought with such invOlutiOn
of ingenious needlewOrk as may well
rank, i'm the patience, the natural skill
and the innocent pleasure of it, with
the truest work of FlOrentine engrav-
ing; in it the actual tradition Of many
of the forms of ancient art is mani
fOldly evident,

Penelope reign vivid in all the work,

labors as in the marble arches, and

Sly tells, and the inscription over the

Paralysis in the PedS.-The London
Punch, alludinR f~acetiOusly TO the
popular scare on poisonous canned
peas, adds a few lines of chemical fact
worth remembering. Beware, says the
writer, how yeu try the effect OF strycll'
nine, prussic acid, or any other poison
IN a rabbit or a guinea pig. Have the
fear of the Anti ViyisectiOn Act before
your eyes. If you want TO try expert
ments with pOisOns on a living animal,
try them on yourself. Should you XII

acquit you of suicide, as 1t does not Tor
bid any donkey 10 experiment on a
donkey. Suppose. for instance, you
want 10 know what is the effect OF re-
peated small doses of copper upon the
human system, take a fraction of a
grain of the sulphate or acetate of that
metal once a day continually till you
discover. Ultimately you will find II
produce paralysis. You will lose the
use of your hands or legs, or one side,
or more, of your body. Salts of copper
will paralyze you sooner than even
salts of mercury. But you must take
them in minute quantities. In large
doses they mostly lid you of themselves
copper acting like anthony. In or
der to take Your copper pleasantly,
your best plan will be TO swallow IL at
dinner time. daily, along with green
peas. This you can do all the year
round, as peas are always to be had
preserved in tins. You can mix your
copper with your peas if necessary. If
the peas are of a dull, RTayisb, faded,
ugly color, there is probably no copper
in them, and You may have TO put some:
But when their tint is a beautiful
bright green, then you may suspect
that there is plenty of copper in them
to cause paralysis if p~ersevered with
sufficiently long. The copper is
mingled with the peas to make them
look pretty and few people seem to be
deferred by the fear of poison from
preferring pretty-lOoking peas to plain
ones. 1t is possible, however, that Il
may become rather less easy than it has
been heretofore to procure timed peas,
which besides being timed are also
cOppered. Several foreign provision
dealers have lately been summoned be-
fore Mr.. Knox, and. on medical evil
dence, fined for selling timed peas
containing copper in dangerous guam
titles. AS they sold them in ignorance,
they have been let off with nominal
fines, but in future vendors of cOppered
peas may expect to incur a penalty of
$3.50 for each ~otfence-and have to pay.
Uf course the multitude %ignOrantly eat
ing peas greened with copper must be,
all of them, greener than any peas.
Bright green timed peas may always
be suspected of containing copper. II
there is any question on that point, 1t
may be summarily settled by pouring
on the peas a little strong liquid am
monia, which, if copper is present, will
make them turn bluer than even their
seller will look when he is fined $3.50.
So also with pickles, only the vinegar
of the pickles will require a large ex-
cess Of ammonia. In case there is no
ammonia or other mean at hand of
determining whether the greeness of
peas or pickles is owing to copper or
no, a philosopher would give copper
the credit of the color, and himself the
benefit of the doubt.

Irididted Glass. - The Scientific
American, speaking of iridiated glass,
known to be produced under the int1u-
ence of moist air, and in the course OF
great lengths of time, says that there is
good reason to believe that the ancients
were in possession of processes for pro-
ducing this iridiated glass in brief peri
DDS of time, and that the glass workers
of China and Burmah have like know
ledge. 1t then says that in a report of
a recent meeting of the French Acad-
envy of Sciences, is all account of the
reproduction by two French chemists of
the iridiated glass of China, and that fine
specimens of these reproductions were
exhibited to the Society. Last summer,
while the Centennial Exhibition was
open, one of the Austrian exhibitors of
glassware also ~rediscOvered the pro-
cess, and Just before the close of the
Exhibition placed some fine specimens
there. Similar iridiated glassware was
exhibited in the Loan collection at the
Academy of Fine Arts,
The Scientific Americln says that
in iTidiated glass, owing to chemical
changes, the glass becomes nearly pure
silicic acid. The process whereby the
French chemists produce iridiated glass
is said to consist in submitting ordinary
glass for six or seven hours to the
action of water containing fifteen per
cent, of hydrOchloric acid, at pressure
of from two to three atmOspheres, cor
responding TO a temperature of about
24S degrees Fahrenheit.

the qualities of Portland cement, which
prove that cOarsely ground cement
when used neat without sand) is
stronger than finely ground cement;
but when used with sand, as in con-
crete and mortar, it was found that &C.
ment containing only twenty-five per
cent of coarse cement particles had but
half the strength of mortar mixed with
fine cement, the cement used being in
each case four weeks old. On the other
hand, extremely fine sand diminished
the strength of the mortar to less than
One-half of that which was mixed with

CHEMICAL MANUREs.-EXperiments
with chemical manures, or with new
fertilizers of any kind should be made
upon a small scale, and then, as expert
snce, with the fertilizers and skill in
using them are acquired, they may be
used on a larger scale. But expert
ments are expensive, and whole crops
should not be risked in making them.
And in the meantime the farmers re-
lance must be upon barn-yard manure,
muck, lime, plaster, bOne-dust, super
phosphate, and such other as
experience has shown to be profitable.
The profits of farming will be largely
Increased by the proper use and appli-
cation of chemical fertilizers. but in
changing from well-established prac-
tice, new circumstances, as well as new
materials, are introduced, and the
changes should be carefully made, or
losses may result at first.

AGRICULTURAL.

FEEDING GROWING CHIcKEss.-As a
rule, the poultry-raiser feeds his young
chicks literally; aud this Is necessary
In the early part Of the season. The
feed for the first month Is ground corn,
wetted with water. This Is a nearly
unvarying bill of fare. Some give
Young chicks soaked stale bread for the
irst month. This is very good feed;
and where the housewife has the time
and the inclination u do the baking, 1t
is all right; but II becomes burdensome
where large numbers are raised aud fed
In this way.
Some poultrymen, who desire 10 raise
extra fine chickens, feed them for the
1rst month, at least once a day, on hard
boiled eggs, crumbled apa mixed with
moistened bread crpaIbs or oatmeal.
The average poulty keeper, however,
will moi see the profit of this method,
and will not Fracllce IT,
When ne chicks are one or two
month"; old, sour thick milk will be
fou-i a good feed for them. Ii should
- scalded aud mixed with wheat-bran,
or corn and oats chopped together. No
great deal of t%hlckening 10, Nquired, but
enough TO make a slOp.
Unless the potato bug masters the
situation, we always include boiled po-
tstoes In our bill of fare for growing
chickens. A potful is boiled In their
skins; the water IS drained of, and the
potatoes turned into a stout wooden YES
sci and mashed. Sour milk and bran
are then stirred in aud the whole
poured into trOughs. We have always
fed this mess literally, and found it pro
atablc TO do so.
Whole grain should seldom be given
10 chickens in hot weather. They will
be healthier and grow better on such
diet as here recommended. or course
they should have their feed of ground
grain night and morning., but not too
much OF It, especially of corn, which is
heating and stimulating, and has a ten
gency TO induce cholera. Oats and
wheat are better.

GENoIsE.-Put two ounces of butter
in a small saucepan, set it on the fire,
and when melted, mix in it q table
spoonful of flour; stir for One minute,
add one-fourth of a carrot, sliced, stir
now and then, and when nearly fried,
add also a pint of broth, halt a pint of
claret wine, a small onion, and a Glove
of garlic, chopped; two cloves, a bay
leaf, two stalks of parsley, one of
thyme, salt and pepper; boil gently
about one hour and forty minutes, and
strain. If it boils away, add a little
broth. Put it back on the fire with
about half an ounce of butter, boil
gently for about ten minutes, and it is
ready for use.
This sauce is excellent with any kind
of boiled fish, but especially with trout,
pike, and p%ickerel.
A trout served with a genoise sauce is
considered a recherche dish.
