The santifed soul enjoys Christ as a

How TO PRFsERvE EdGs.-It can be
easily done by buying a half-pint of
inseed oil. making little swab with a
bit of cotton twisted or tied around a
small stick, and smearing the eggs all
over with it: then let them dry thor
Oughly in the warm air, and pack them
away in wooden buckets for use. The
oil does not prevent the escape of moist
ure entirely; but it excludes the air
sufficiently to prevent decay. In pack
ing the eggs. be sure to put the small
end down. 50 as to keep the yOlk in the
centre Of the egg Country Gentleman.

soon as the farmer can obtain a fair
profit on the amount of time and money
expended In raising his crops. BY SELL
ing early, the mind is relieved from
anxiety, shrinkage and loss from ver-
min and other causes are avoided, the
money is at hand 10 pay debts, or to

a week previous to his death he ran 4
splinter under one of his finger nails, Il por-

commenced poulticing, but failing to get
relief in this way, on Wednesday evening
last he called on DR.. u. W. Botccr OF that
place, but declined at that time having the
operation of removing the splinter per-
formed. He took worse however, and the
DR.. was called in the morning and found
him suffering from lock.jaw lie immedi-
atey requested the aid of other physicians
and Drs Herring and Frantz were sent for
but all efforts for his reliet proved unayail-
ing, and he expired about \. NJ.

DR.. Schliemann's Mycen@ Treasures.

A portion of the celebrated Mycen@
treasures which have been discovered by
DIR. Schliemann was exhibited at the Athe-
MON Bank in Athens, and large number
of the officers of the Mediterranean fleet
availed themselves of the opportunity
afforded them to inspect them. After
the high expectations, however, that had
been raised, the general feeling was one
of disappointment. The richness of the
appearance of so much gold did not COM
pensate for the absence of solidity which
characterized most of the disinterred an
Equities. Thin sheets Of plain gold,
though dignifed with the name of breast
plates, and ribands or fillets stamped with
circular devices, and of thickness vary
ing from that of naval officers stripe
to foreign note paper, had the look of
tinsel, and were not unlike the insignia
of Masonic society. The mysterious
"buttons" were likewise plain circular
discs of gold leaf, about an inch in diam
eter, forming the covering, apparently, of
more substantial wood or bone. But,
though the bulk of what was shown was
of this fimsy desert ption, an exception
must be made in favor of several objects
of more massive and striking character.
Among those may be mentioned
double handled goblet, with dozen
smaller ones without handles, all some
what battered, and without chasing of
any sort; three masks, one life-like
cast of the face of man of middle age,
handsome, rather stern looking, and with
straight features and short but perfect
head. C1'his was the gem of the collec-
tion.) The other two masks were gro
tesques, having prominent eyes and lips,
puffed-out cheeks and smooth chins, like
the comic masks Of the theatre. except
that the mouths were closed. Then, in
silver, was large vase or jug, long and
slender, with handle and lip, and of the
same shape and about the Same size as
that which Hebe is represented to be
holding in the we'll known bas-relief at
Rome; and also Calls head, about half the
size of life, and with hollow golden horns
attached. Both articles, which were the
only silver ones exhibited, were much
oxidized. among the smaller speci-
mems were two heavy signet rings, beau
tifully engraved with figures of men
hunting stays; number of feminine
trinkets, and little squares and oblongs,
pierced with holes as if to string on a
necklace, and having, asin the case of the
rings, devices cut in deeply; small
wand with knob of rock crystal at one
end supposed to be royal sceptre,) and
a sword blade, concluded the list of what
was most noteworthy. Such was the i'm
preston produced on an ordinary sight
seer who had no pretensions to antigua
rian lore. An attendant stated that only
two boxes out of twenty were unpacked,
but that they contained the most perfect
and interesting of the excavated treas

The Wood Pewee.

The wood pewee's nests are not at all
of one pattern by any means. There are
some fine architects among this species.
One nest, located between the fOrked
twigs of an oak, was very symmetrical
in outline, and almost covered externally
with beautiful lichens. The body of the
nest was composed of fine fibrous roots
interviewer with soft, downy substance
which looked like the rusty wool OF the
cotton grass (Eriophorum yisytnacun),
and which they must have gone long
distance to obtain. In a climbing rose
bush trained against the house was an
other nest so dissimilar in form and
structure that I never should have taken
it for the nest of the same species If
had not caught the builder at work. 1t
is composed entirely of coarse strips OF
fibrous bark and roots, no soft material
for lining, and the nest is a shallow,
unsymmetrical affair. Yet the little
architects attempted to embellish this
humble abode. Near the top of the nest
bit of colored paper was glued on, and
two or three small pieces of blue egg
shell-probably the cast-otf shell OF
robins egg-and some small pieces OF
white paper. This was the extent of the
decoration. No doubt the little artists
became discouraged at this point, or were
sensible enough to see that so rude a
home would not be improved by orna-
ment.
Most writers take the ground that the
nest of this species is covered with Itch
ems in order to conceal it, but it certain
ly can not be urged in this case that it
was an attempt at concealment; and may
not these lichens be used more for Orna-
ment than for cOncealment? The bird is
far from shy, is one of the most familiar
denizens of the grove, and seems to have
no objection to spectator while 1T pro-
ceeds with its building and stuccoing.
Until within few years, according to
good observers, this was shy, retiring
bird, nesting only in secluded woods;
but here it is, all at once, even more
familiar than its cousin, the common
pewee, or Phpbe-bird. Like the other
fy-catchers, it takes its food on the wing,
and has habit Of returning to the same
spot. Noticing that it specially liked a
clothes-line to light upon, kept one
stretched all summer for its accommOda-
ton. The line was little higher than
my head, and often stood quietly be-
meath it, when the bird would alight very
near my head, and utter his prolonged,
mournful note, until a fly came within
his range, when he would dart away in
pursuit, the swapping of his bill testify
ing to his unerring aim.-Mary Treat, IN
Harper's Magazine.

DO think of the past to regret its
Do l sigh for bliss have known?
Is my mind by an image haunted
Whose substance forever has flown
In the stiffness of night, when no slumbeI
viii rest on my wakeful eyes,
Does voice thro' my chamber re-echo,
Which gladdened me oft with surprise
Mol look on the past as the sailor,
Escaped from the wreck to the shore,
Looks back on the perils that threatened
But never will threaten him more.
The vision, once bright, but now faded,
That charmed in delirious youth,
know as a mock'ry most hollow,
Tho wearing the semblance of truth.
4 have babe an adieu to each feeling,
That united that vision to me,
Love, anger and hatred are banished
Compassion alone would not flee.
For words that my lips may have uttered
My heart does in sadness repine-
The past with its folly lies buried,
A future untrammeled is mine.
