Popularity.

The popularity of Messrs. James s. Kirk &
Co.'s soaps, man ufactured in Chicago, is shown
by the unprecedented sale which their goods
have reached during the year 1876. This by far
is the largest soap manufacturing concern in
the United States, producing and selling in
all parts of this country, from the Red River
of the North to New Orleans, and from Port
annually. No so.called greases enter into
these soaps. Only pure refined tallow and
vegetable oils are used, containing no adul
teration. Fair and square weights always re-
liable. This is why their soaps are so popular
with ali good and economical housekeepers.

GREASE SPoTs.-To remove grease
spots from worsted or wooden goods rub
with dry magnesia and wooden cloth,
PASTRY MADE WITH SUET.-Get a
pound of the best suet, with very little
membrane running through. Roll the
suet on the paste-board for several min
utes, removing all the skin and fibers
that will appear when rolling it, and this
will leave the suet pure and sweet
shortening, looking like butter. Rub
this into the flour, salt, and mix with ice
water. When ready to roll out for the
plates put on little butter in flakes,
rolling it in rs usual. After making up
paste it is good plan tc put it on the
ice or in a very cool cellar for an hour or
two before using.
TOMATO CHowDER.-Soak a peck of
green tomatoes in salt and water twen-
ty-four hours, then chop quite fine, add
ing four onions, and mix with them
teacupful of white mustard seed. Scald
enough good vinegar to cover them tie
up loosely in a muslin bag enough pep
per-corus, cloves, and allspice to spice it
to suit the taste, and put TO the vinegar
while heating it. When just ready to
boil pour the vinegar over the tomatoes
and stop the jar closely, and put in
cool, dark closet. We have not tried
this pickle, but learn from reliable au-
thority that it is uncommonly good.

With waiting and wishing our course We
pave,
We wait for the port as we battle the wave:
lis waiting forever, from candle to grave
Waiting for morn, so serene in its light;
Waiting for MONDAY, 50 brilliantly bright;
Waiting at eve for repose in the night.
Waiting for zephyrs in springtime that blow;
Waiting for summers and flowers that grow;
Waiting for winter and swift falling snow
Waiting is ever the bosom's refrain
In moments of pleasure and moments OF pam;
Waiting, though stricken again and again.

tainly climb
The tOpof the ladder on reaching my prime,
Ia manhood awaiting the time when he may
Find rest on a calmer, happier day,
When age shall relieve from the worrying
fray.
Waiting when F6rtune sheds brightly her
smile: lbeguile
When choice are the pleasures the pathway
There always is something TO wait for the
while
Waiting IN poverty, anguish and griei;
Waiting for Heaven to send us relief,
Telling the heart that the trial Is brief
Aye. waiting for joys that viii never appear;
Waiting for voices that we never shall hear;
Waiting for moments that never are near
Waiting. when shining and worn in the strife,
With penitert throbbings the bosom is rife
Waiting the dawn of holier life.
Waiting at last for the spirits release;
Waiting a rest ia the dwelling Of Peace,
Where waiting and longing forever Will

4 SMART THING.-How many people

Masters are used in every family, and
physicians prescribe the application. The
ordinary way is TO mix the mustard with
water, tempering>ft with little -four
such a plaster as this makes it simply
abominable. Before it has half done its
work it begins TO blister the patient, and
leaves him finally with painful, fiayed
spot, after producing far less effect in a
beneficial way than was intended Now,
a mustard plaster should never blister at
all. If a blister IS wanted, there are 9TH
er plasters far better than mustard plas-

mustard with the white Of an egg, and

GIVE EEEgI { LIFT,

Give him lift. Don't kneel in prayer,
Nor Roralize with his despair;
The man Is down, and his great need
Is ready help-not prayer and creed
'Tis time when the wounds are washed and
healed,
That the inward motives be revealed;
But now. whate'er the spirit be,
Mere words are bat mockery.
One grain of aid Just now is more
To him than tones of sanity y"re;
Pray, if you must, in your fun heart;
But give him lift-give him start
The world is fall Of good advice,
Of prayer, and praise, and preaching nice;
But the generous souls who aid mankind,
Are scarce as gold, and hard to find
Give like a Christian-speak III deeds;
A noble life's the best OF creeds;
And he shall wear a royal crown
Who gives EN- lift when they are down.
