"Tbere was an artifcer in Rome

that were composed Of gold and

made a vial of the purer sorts. and

One hundred years ago not .

Illuminating gas had been burned
in this country. No iron stoves
were used. and no contrivances for
ecopomizing heat were employed
until DR.. Franklin invented tho
iron framed FIRE place which still
bears his name. All the cooking
and warming in town and country
we're done by the aid of FIRE kindled
on the brick hearth or oven. Pine
knots or tallow candles furnished
the light for the long winter nightA.
and sanded floors supplied the
place of rugs and carpets. The
water used for household purposes
was drawn from deep wells by the
cranking "sweep." No form of .
pump was used in this country, a.
far as we can learn, until after the
commencement Of the present Gen.
tury. There were no friction
matches In those days by the aid
Of which fire "wsnt out" upon tho
hearth, and the timber was damped
so that the spark would not catch,
the alternative remained of wading
through the snow q mile or 80, to
borrow brand Of q neighbor.-
Only one room in any house wAs

perature was at zero during tho
nights in the winter. The men
and children Of hundred years
ago undressed and went to their
beds in temperature colder than
that Of our modern barns and wood
sheds, and they never complained.

Old Maids.

The old maid who has accepted
her lot without repining-who cnl-
tivates her intellect and stores her
mind--who enlarges her charity by
making the trials of others In some
measure her own--who sees that
there lies before her large sphere
Of usefulness which she can pursue
undisturbed by domestic aud fsmi-
ly cares, Is a source Of blessing to
herself and others. Her presence
is always hailed because of its heal
ing influence. She can allay dis
sensions. knowing how to speak
the "soft answer that turneth away
wrath" As in the still moonlight
the outer world loses whatever it
may have Of harshness, and all
things are mellowed beneath its
rays, so in the presence OF one who
has learnt lessons of patience,
resignation, and usefulness the
worlds Irregularities are toned
down and softened, and the tumult
even of undisciplined hearts is still
