WHAT THE FLOWERS SAY.

o, roses red and white, that glow
In summer glory at her door,
Fade, fall and die, that Winter snow
May speed the spring-time home once more!
For though her Punishment severe
Send me, an exile. from her side,
The golden love-tide of the year
Shall bring me back to claim bride.
When the spring comes in again, sweetheart,
With the May on grove and glen,
We will keep our love-tide then, sweetheart,
When the spring comes in again.
o, roses white and red, that shine
Stars in the nimbus of her hair
Tell her that all your thorns are mine,
Her tokens in my heart to wear!
o, tell her. since she bids me go.
Love-loyalty must needs obey;
But tell her, too that well know
Her soul would fain have bid me stayi
When the spring comes in again. sweetheart.

When the spring comes in againl
0, roses red and white. that climb
About the windows of her room,
Breathe her the burden OF my rhyme
In silent speech Of fragrant bloom!
Watt it upon the wings of night.
Wed to the music of kiss,
flushed in whisper of delight.
Low on the night-wind murmur this:
When the spring comes in again, sweetheart
With the May on grsve and glen,
We will keep our love-tde then. sweetheart

HOW TO PAPER A ROOM.

Old paper may be removed by wetting
thoroughly with water, and when soaked,
it will easily strip off. If lime-wash
has been used on wall on which it is
desired to paper, the paper may be made
to stick by washing the wall with vine-
gar, or water which has been made sour
by the admixture Of sulphuric acid (oil

by making bench on which to paste.
of boards placed on two empty -four
barrels. Common -four paste is made by
mixing smoothly in cold water wheat or
rye -four (rye makes the strongest paste)
until thin creamy liquid is made; it
should then be boiled then it will thick
en-; if too thick, it may be thinned by
adding boiling water. A little carbolic
acid in the paste will keep it sweet and
prevent mould. The paper should be
cut to proper lengths, sufficient in quan-
tity to finish the room, before pasting is
commenced. Enough spare paper should
be left at top or bottom, to match the
pattern evenly. These lengths should be
laid evenly one over another, and the
bench should be little longer than the
lengths of paper. The paste should be
applied with board brush similar to
the white-wash brushes, and should be
laid on quickly, or the paper will soon
become tender. IF piece of tin be
fastened to the brush it can be hooked
to the side of the pail and prevent much
"mussing" with the paste. The cheap
sorts of wall paper should be avoided, if
possible. They contain generally twen-
ty-fve to forty per cent. of clay, and
very common material for the pulp is
cow-dung; only small proportion con-
sists of fibre of rope, mating, or other
coarse material of any strength and in
putting it on the wall it will often fall
to pieces in the hands. Two persons
are required to lay on paper with rapid
ity. one to paste and one to apply the
paper. When the paper is pasted it
should be handed to the person on the
ladder, who holds it about foot from
top end and lays it evenly against the
wall at the top. allowing the upper end to
hang over on the backs of the hands. By
looking down the wall it may be seen
that itmatches the previously-laid length
and should then be brought gently to
the wall, the backs of the hands then
pressed against the wall and passed up
wards towards the ceiling, spreading
them out towards the corners of the
length of paper. The scissors are then
run along at the junction of the wall
and ceiling, making mark which can
be easily seen, when the top of the pa
per is removed for little distance, and
is cut off even and replaced. Then a
soft cloth is gently passed downwards
and the paper pressed against the wall
to the bottom where it is cut off as at
the top. After few lengths are laid
the operation will become easy, and if q

Anywhere, everywhere, something to do!

Some are chosen to sweep and others to spin,
Some to sow, some to reap. while some gather in.
Some must build ships, and some guide the helm,
Some fashion our garments. and some rule the realm
Some must fell forests, the broad field must till,
Some paint and some carve, grind at the mill.
Some must buy and some sell, some traverse the sea-

Soon will the night come, when all will be still;
Sweet will it be. at set of the sun,

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The best way to condemn bad traits
is by practicing good ones.
Is it not strange that some men hate
vice and are vicious, love virtue and do
not follow it?
Prosperity is great teacher; adYer-
sity is greater. Possession pampers
the mind; privation trains and strength
ems it.
Children are unconscious philosophers.
They refuse to pull to pieces their en-
joyments to see what they are made of.
"What is often called Incidence" J"
says Henry Crabb Robinson, sis in fact
the unconscious consciousness of incapac-
ity."
A man may be said to know thorough
ly only what he can communicate to
others.
Nothing is so wholesome, nothing does
SO much for peoples looks, as little
interchange of the small coin of benevo-
lence.
Q this itch of the ear that breaks out
at the tongue Were not curiosity SO
over-busy, detraction would soon be
starved to death.
Every man is liable to commit an
error, even to do grieyous wrong, in
moment of carelessness or excitement
but it is not every man who has the no.
bility to frankly acknowledge himself in
the wrong.
The love of glory, the fear Of shame,
the design of making a fortune the desire
of rendering life easy and agreeable, and
the humor of pulling are often the caus-
es of that valor so celebrated among
men.
The good man loves all men. He
loves to speak of the good of of others.
All within the four seas are his broth
ers. Love of man is chief of all the
virtues, The man sows, that himself
may reap; but the love of the perfect
man is universal.

"How rare are acts Of will We are
all living according to custom; we do as
other people do, and shrink from an act
of our own. Every such act makes man
famous. and we can all count the few
cases,-half dozen in our time.-when
public man ventured to act as he
thought, without waiting for orders or
public opinion. John Quincy Adams
was man of an audacious independence
that always kept the public curiosity
alive in regard to what he might do.
None could predict his word, and whole
Congress could not gainsay it when it
was spoken. General jackson was a
man of will. and his phrase on one mem
orable occasion, 81 will take the re-
sponsibility, = is proverb ever since"

FINDING FAULT.-It is the easiest
thing in the world to find fault. 1t is
easy to say that nobody is honest. 1t
is easy to say the church would be right
if the minister would preach and do as
he ought. But it isn't easy to look on
the best side. to see that there are hun
dreds of faithful preachers. thousands of
honest, sincere men and women. count
less acts of justice, charity and humanity
which outweigh all the grumblers, SO
that it is really only the finest dust in
the balance. Let US all be fair and
cheerful. The world Is not all wrong.
Everybody isn't rascal. Our neighbors
are not trying to cheat US. The church
is doing good work for the world, and
even the GROWERS are not half as disa-
greeable as they seem.

A MODEL CoNFEssIoN.-Seventy years
ago in Vermont town young lawyer
"a member of large church-got
drunk. The bretheren said he must
confess. He demurred. He knew the
members to be good people, but that
they had their little faults, such as
driving sharp trades, screwing the labor
er down to low wages, loaning money at
illegal rates, misrepresentlng articles
they had for sale, etc. But they were
good people, and pressed the lawyer to
come before the "church meeting" to
own up his sin of taking glass too
much-for they were temperance peo-
pie before temperance societies existed.
The sinner finally went to the confess
sion; found large gathering of breth-
rem and sisters, whose bowed heads rose,
and whose eyes glistened with heavenly
delight, as the lawyer began his confes-
sion.
~ confess" began he, ''that I never
took ten per cent. for money" (Siz
was the legal rate.) On that confession
down went brothers head with groan

Down went another head. 81 confess

for it." Whereupon the meeting wa

AMERICAN GOODS In ENGLAND.

G. B. Webster, United States Consul
at Sheffield, England, reports to the De-
partment of State at Washington: "The
number of articles of American manu-
facture, and the quantities of agricul-
tural produce imported into that district
is very large. There is a prejudice
against American manufactures to over
come. 1t is said they will not last
But those implements, like hayforks,
that have been proved, are getting a
large sale. One firm in Sheffield has
sold this season $500 dozens of hay
forks, 80 dozens of scythe-snaths, 2,142
dozen of locks, 200 dozens of iron
planes, l,185 dozens of box wood rules,
1852 dozens of hammers, and variety
of other articles of American production.
Other firms have made large sales. One
firm reports their importations from the
United States at $1,000, mostly small
articles, like axe-handles. screws, sash
fasteners, wrenches, &c. A sharp COM
petition must be expected. Already
articles are made in England to initiate
the American, but of poorer quality. 1t
is of the first Importance that American
manufacturers should keep the quality
of their goods up to the highest stand
ard.
"The amount of fresh meat (Ameri-
CAM sold in Sheffield during the last
six months is lS1.370 pounds. The
prejudice against it has almost entirely
disappeared. Arrangements are making
to increase its sale by company, which
is to open twelve new stores. It is sold
side by side with English meat indis-
criminately. One firm. however, sells
it exclusively, and keeps the American
flag flying over the shop as a sign. This
market is also well supplied with Amer
ican canned food-meat, lobster, salmon,
oysters. turtle, and fruits, as well as
cheese, bacon, lard, -four, eorn-meal, &c
Corn-meal is not yet sufficiently well
known as human food"

PERRY'S VICTORY.
Interesting "reminiscences by The Only

Cleveland (uhiol Herald.

At this quiet little village the old hero,
whose name is John Rice. now nearly
81 years Of age, is spending iii peace
and prosperity the evening of an event
full life. A HendM correspondent fur
nishcs the following sketch Of the old
soldiers life, gathered from Mr.. Rices
own lips.
John Rice was born August -, 1871,

education Of the farmcr-bov of that
