spring and fall an open fireplace is
particularly useful. Every one knows
how the furnace is disliked in moderate
weather, but by using at such times the
wood alone, the desired heat is obtained
and far more than the cost saved in the
coal that would be burned to waste.
If the fire place is painted black, there
will be good background for the red
flame, and the brick work will not be
made to look shabby by the smoke.
Let it be good hearty blazing fire or
none at all. Better to save in fine fur
niture and rich deserts, than put on logs
sparingly. Brass andirons are the best,
for they never wear out, and the labor
in keeping them bright is much exag-
geIated. The wood should be sawed in
but two pieces, so as to reach clear over
both andirons. A lot of corn-cobs will
make hot quick blaze, just before the
children go up to bed, and will make
their slumber all the Home

the curbstone he would take melon in
his hand and knock at door and say
to the lady: "Please, ma'am, I'm poor
boy trying to get money to buy school
books, and won't you buy this melon

refused to purchase, and the boy may
have sold whole wagon-load for all
that any one of the purchasers know to
the contrary. In every place where he
sold "a melon he shortly returned, and,
holding out lead nickel on his palm,
he plaintively observed: "If you please,
ma'am, that was bad nickel you gave
me, and will you please give me an
other in place of it?" Naturally enough.

the boy was allowed to retain the bad

PATENT CHROMOTYPE
Photographs.
Something New and of Real Merit.

Mankind are interested in few things more than
in the procuring of portrait hlxenesses of them
selves and friends. The Photograph of departed
parent, child brother sister is more priced than
any other possession. Therefore, of the first i'm
portance. is the undOubted permdnance of the shad
owy image.
Vast amounts of money and many years OF
study and experiment have been expended in search
of MATERIAL and METHOD to produce pictures
that shall be uIUddtnq and permanent 1t is well
known fact that the ordinary Photograph is al
ways suspected and doubted in this most important
ing the photograph in India Ink colOrs. But
now after years of tedious and careful study and
experiments new MATERIAL and METHOD
has been invented and perfected by which Photo
graphs are made in CARBON and other PIG
MENTS, (and patented in England, France. Ger
many, Austria, and other foreign countries, also in
the United States,) whereby the Photograph is
made as positively permanent engravings, being
made of the same MATERIAL, and is now offered
TO the numerous patrons of the beautiful Art OF

An Extraordinary Story of the Tele-
phone.

Landlord Gale of the American house
and of Columbia hall, Lebanon Springs,
vouches for the following story of novel
telephone phenomena As Frank Cum
mings, the telegraph operator at Col
umbia hall, was musing i'll his office
Tuesday evening, he was startled by
the melody of "Home, Sweet Home"
coming like music in the air, soft and
low, but perfectly distinct. He called
in Mr.. Gale and others, who were en-
tertained successfully by the strains of
"Sweet Bye and Bye" "Hail Columbia"
Coming Through the Rye" and cyan
kee Doodle" "Coming Through the
Rye" being the most perfect, and cyan
kee Doodle" Il little mixed, the perform
ers probably indulging in variations.
1t turned out that the sounds came from
telaphonic concert at Troy, connect
ing with Albany. To reach Lebanon
Springs the sounds had to leap through
several inches of air from the original
telegraph wires to those from which
they were heard at Columbia Springs
the wires crossing each other at right
angles and what is perhaps as remark
able, there was no telephone apparatus
whatever in the Office at the Springs,
the music being apparently emitted
from an ordinary Morse receiver. All
the listeners not only recognized the
tunes, but enjoyed them as music.

They will magnify inlirmities into

the reprOach of the world. Let us put

rather, let us cOnstrain them by our

them see that our religion is not a mere
notion, but that there is reality, an
excellency, an efficiency in it that rec

Let them see the advantages we have
derived from it, i'll the government of

confidence and calmness of our minds
