The Utility of OdOrs.

That odOrous spices are disinfectant
and antiseptic, and that they are used
by the Egyptians in mummyfying their
dead, and thus preserving these useless
semblances of human kind for thOus-
ands years after they should have re-
turned into dust, is well known to those
who have considered the utility of such
things. The cologne water sprinkled
in the sick-rOOm by the kindly nurse
not only freshens the languished in
valid, but really destroys disease germs
and preserves the health of watchful
friends. The cook does exactly right
when i'll warm weather she Peppers the
beefsteak in order to preserve it for the
next meal. 1t is said that the pestilen-
tlal VapOrs are of an alkaline character,
and combine with the acids and the
products of slow combustion; so that
the reverend gentleman who, at revi-
val meeting, when the atmosphere was
foul, called upon some kind sister to
burn rag, acted intelligently and upon
true scientific principles. The burning
OF brown paper, of apple parfngs, and
of cotfe in sick rooms, not only disgui-
ses, but to some extent, at least, de-
stroys the poisonous emanatiOns from
the patient. Were it not hereby |
might almost be tempted to quote SINH
lias similibus, etc. As one ocean wave
destroys another, as one wave of cleo
trio light, Improperly directed, by inter-
ference eXtinguishes another, so one
Odor may so interfere with and alter the
character of similar one that the sense
of smell does not perceive it, or else is
offended by it. Nearly all the pastilles
for fumigating sick rooms contain ben
zOin, and when this is burned, benzoic
acid is formed, or sci free, and this acid
in its free or newly formed state, unites
readily, according to the laws of chemis-
try, with just such products as are found
in sick rooms, so that the poison is not
merely rendered scentless, but under
goes an actual chemical tranfOrmation
in which its toxic principles are re-
moved.

tive cOuntrymen was unbOunded. In
addition to her position and superior
intelligence was the consideration of
her native rank, which to them at least
was a source of unquestiOned right.
The establishment was kept in almost
princely style. The sons were sent to
England to be educated; for the daugh-
ters French and English governesses
were procured, and established in sepa-
rate houses near the mansion; white
artisans of various kinds were con-
stantly employed, making quite large
community aside from the hundreds of
slaves upon the island. And over all
this, i'll her husbands long and frequent
absences, reigned our dusky princess, as
absolute in her insular domain as her
savage father i'm his native wilds. She
had strong and powerful mind, and
WOmanly kindness and sympathy as
well. One old gegrO, who died some
time since, so old that no one could re-
member him as other than old, used to
tell how he was brought over when
young to this island, where he had
lived ever since, and how he and others,
sick and exhausted, were ministered to
by the ''missis''' own hands, and how
they all loved her and always prayed,
Lord bless Ma am Hannah ;" Every
morning as she stood upon this very
spot, the field hands passed in review
before her, each gang with its driver,
going to their daily work. She in
spected them all, picking out such as
were unfit for labor and sending them
to the hospital or to lighter tasks; and
every night in the same spot she heard
report of the day, examined into all
complaints, and with strict justice adj
judged each offenders punishment; and
without her order not a lash could he
given.-Scribner.

"A Romance of Fort George Island.

The young owner of the island, culti-
waited hundreds of acres and raising
enormous crops of cotton and sugar
| used to build schOoners in a ship-yard
of his own, and imported slaves directly
from the African coast, selling to his
neighbors such as he did not want. He
was unmarried. Perhaps no one of the
daughters of the ncighboring planters
could be persuaded to share the lonely
life which could hardly have appeared
attractive in any woman's eyes; per-
haps he preferred life of freedom and
independence. However that NAV have
been, he was in the habit of going oc-
casiOnally to Africa himself, and of
who disposed in this way of their
prisoners of war.
During one of these visits, Willie en-
gagged in bargaining, he was struck
with the grace and beauty of the chiefs
young daughter, child of ten years
old. He proposed to buy her, but she
was a favorite child and her father
could not part with her. Persuasions
were for d time unavailing, but at
last the savage father, unable to resist
the glitter of the white mans gold,
agreed to part with his child on condi-
ton that she should be treated with
consideration and brought up as be-
comes a kings daughter. The planter
promised, and, strange to say, he kept
his word. She was kindly cared for
and well educated, and in course of
time became the planters lawful wife.
She had, according to tradition, with
the exception of dark skin, none of
the usual negro characteristics. Her
handsome features were regular, her
hair smooth, her presence dignified and

In the expressive language of the
Indians, the month of September is
known as the moon of turkeys Early
i'll September the males collect together
by themselves, and the hens and Young
ones in another flock, and continue SC
for some time; all the while, howe -er,
moving about in search of food. In
their travels they often reach the banks
of considerable rivers, where they all
JOIN in company. Crossing river is to
them an undertaking of serious magni-
tude. They first betake themselves to
the nearest eminence, and there often
remain whole day, or sometimes two,
as if for consultation. During this
time the males are heard ''gobbling,'' y
calling, and making much ado, and are
seen strutting about as if to raise their
courage to pitch betitting the emer-
gency-a line of conduct Initiated by
the female and young. At length
when the weather appears to be settled
and all around is quiet, the whole party
mounts to the tops of the highest trees,
whence, at signal, consisting of a sin
gle cluck, given by a leader, the flock
takes flight for the opposite shore. The
old and fat birds easily get over, even
should the river be mile in breadth; :;
but the younger and less robust fire.

drowned, however, as might be imag-

their body, stretch out their tail as
support, stretch forward their neck.
and, striking out their legs with great
vigor, proceed rapidly toward the
shore; on approaching which, should
they find it too steep for landing, they
cease their exertions for few moments.

an accessible part, and by violent

The next time Grandma Jarvis came
over Mable greeted her with Il stringent
hug and a heartfelt kiss, not at alI of

''Gracious. exclaimed the old lady
Withdrawing herself little to look at
Mable; but she saw the brown ewes fill.
and her own grew dim.
'Go along, child, go along"' she
growled under her breath. "And now
you've got your lesson, don't forget it,"
1t would have been hard for Mabel
TO do so, when the eXquisitely ly-wrought
tea-set that adorned her table through
all her married life bore on every cover
the sly and eager head of tiny fox,
and the very cream pitcher had for its
handle the slender form of that treach-
erOus animal, its eager head peering
over the brim, and its long, bushy tail
curving outward at the base Many
and many time, when some tritiing
matter irritated her, and a quick or
singing word rose to her lips, a glance
at the tea-set shut her pretty mouth
closely just in time; and when Grand
ma Jarvis came into Boston year after
Mabel's marriage, to eat her Christ

she said Il congratulate you now Me-

Mable cOlOred and laughed, and her
husband stared, but nobody explained

look, and Grandma Jarvis wiped her
spectacles.
