For the Last Time.

There is touch of pathos about
doing the simplest thing for the last
time. 1t is not alone kissing the
dead that gives US this strange pain.
You feel it when you have looked
the last time upon some scene you
have love0-when you stand in
some quiet city street where you
know that you will never stand
again. The actor, playing his part
for the last time, the singer whose
voice is cracked hopelessly, and who
after this once will never stand be-
fore the sea of upturned faces dis
putting the plaudits with fresher
voices and fairer forms, the minis
ter who has preached his last sermon
these all know the hidden bitter
ness of the two words "never again"
How they come to us on our birth
days as we grow older! Never
again young, always nearer and
nearer to the very last-the end of
which is universal, the last thing
which shall follow all last things,
and turn them, let US hope, from
pains to joys. We put away our
boylsh toys with an odd heartaehe
We are too old To walk any longer
on our stilts--too tall to play mar
bles on the sidewalk Yet here was
pang when we thought we had
played with our merry thoughts for
the last time, and life's serious,
grown up work was waiting tor US.
Now we do not want the lost toys
back. Life has other and larger
playthings for us. May it not be
these too shall seem in some far off
days as the boyish games seem to
our manhood, and we shall learn
that death is but the opening of
the gate into the new land of
promise?

How to Stack Clover.

In stacking clover at least six
quarts Of salt should be scattered
through every ton as it is laid up.
1t is important that the centre of
the stack bottom, when the rails or
poles are laid, should be raised II
or IA inches higher than the outer
edge. There is nothing in hay
making that pays better than to
make a good stack foundation, es-
pecially for clover hay. In build
ing the stack keep the centre solid
nd high and the out side compare
lively loose and rake down we'll.
If one desires to ventilate use a
sack, say eighteen inches in dame
ter and four or five feet long; fill it
with chat or some light material,
place it upright in the centre on
the foundation of the stack and
build up around it. AS the stack
rises, the sack must be drawn up,
leaving hole in the centre from
the bottom to the top which should
be properly capped over to prevent
the rain from getting in.

Why Some Girls Marry.

1t is melancholy to see how large
the proportion is of young ladies
who marry solely in order TO get
rid OF their mothers. In this they
invariably repent most bitterly af
terward. IL is true that nobody
can make herself so odions to girl
as her own mother, for nobody can
so increasingly infict those small,
petty injuries which women feel so
much and of which women alone
have the secret. But it were better
for a girl to endure a thousand
mothers for = thousand years than
to hand herself over. body and soul,
30 boor or II sot for whom she ran
feel no possible sympathy, and
from whom she can get no sympa-
thy, and from whom she can find no
possible release. Yet we find beau
tifuI and delicate creatures ready
and even anxious to do this every
day. Poor girls, they know not
what future is in store for them
and the worst of it is that if the moth
er will not, nobody can warn them
of it.

The housekeeper who regulates
time well and discreetly has ac-
quired the art of making business
and pleasure friends. Their house
holds will run smoothly. The pow
er of regulating time is a gift
with some people, that others, how
ever well meaning, can never at
tain. There are some women who
find time for everything-to man
age their households thoroughly
and comfortably, look after their
children, get through certain
amount of needlework, read for an
hour or two every day-who never
neglect their husbands comforts
and are always ready for any social
pleasure.
The we'll known sentence, 81 have
not time" is never said by them.
How they manage this is a mystery
to those who have not the gift,
though they will explain it in these
few words 81 never dawdle, and
/ never waste moment"
A great deal of valuable time is
wasted by the people thinking it is
not worth while to do anything in
the few minutes there are to spare
between finishing one piece of work
and beginning another.
Some ladies never go about with
out some knitting in their pockets,
which they can take up and work if
they have even five minutes to
spare.'a om 2-t
To the rule that everything can
be overdone, this industry is no ex
ception, for there are people who
carry it to the extent of rudeness,
who will hardly look up from their
work to greet a frieno, and forget
the impulses of good breeding in
their anxiety to waste no time.
There ought to be no such thing
as lack of time for courtesy. 1t is
part of our training here to give
up our fellow creatures; and if
some of our time is wanted by them,
it must be given cheerfully AID
willingly. tsas
1t is very trying. certainly, when
every hour of ones day has been
marked out, to find at the end of
the day that each hour has been
more or less disturbed by unfore-
seen circumstances. SO trying that
it is wisest not to mark out any def
mite plan for the day, but merely to
to make good lasting resolution
not to waste q minutc

LADIES COLUMN.
HARoIIEr HAROLD, EDITOR.
At the Outset Of Married Life.


To give yourself away in true
love is the beginning Of true hui
mility and usefulness. The man or
woman who enters the golden gate
lives henceforth in a sweeter and
better atmosphere. Do but be
true to your higher instincts; do
but cultivate candor and simplicity
and fidelity, and l have every hope
for you. But let it never pass from
your thoughts how much depends
upon you now if you would secure
not only love but respect. Every
married man and woman PASSES
through a transition after they come
to know each other thoroughly,
and ever after they love each other
more or less. If they are patient
with each others faults and try to
keep the fairest face on all things
try to make the best of all things
they will find a new bond of union
in the mutual hopefulness which is
the truest office of love. But if,
when they find out that they
are each not angels, not altogether
perfect, they become indifferent and
neglectful, then alas for BOTH Be
ware of this. The sum of human
happiness is made up of numberless
little things. II is not the great
things-great presents, great occa
sions or great demonstrations of
any kind which will make you hap
Ply; but the many nameless courte-
sizes and surprises OF affection, her
neat looks and kind words and gen.
tie ways and profound respect of
true love--it is these little things
which falling drop by drop like
spring showers upon the frozen
earth, melt away all that is cold and
hard in our natures, and make
them bud and bloom with full luxu-

3. That salt fish are quickest and
best freshened by soaking in sour
milk.
4. That milk which is turned or
changed may be sweetened and rem
dered fit for use again, by stirring in
little soda.
5. That salt will curdle new milk;
hence, in preparing milk porridge,
gravies. etc, the salt should not be
added until the dish is prepared.
g.. That fresh meat, after begin
ming to sour, will sweeteD if placed
out of doors in the cool over night.
Z. That clear boiling water will

stains. Pour the water through the
stain, and thus prevent its spread
ing over the fabric.
s. That ripe tomatoes will re-
move ink and other stains from
white cloth; also, from the hands.
8. That teaspoonful of turpea-
tine boiled with your white clothes

10. That boiled starch is much
improved by the addition of little
sperm. or a little salt, or both, or
little gum-Arabic dissolved.
IL. That beeswax and salt will
make your fat-irons as clean and
smooth as glass. Tie a lump of
wax in rag, and keep 1t for that
purpose. When the irons are hot
rub them first with the wax rag,
then scour with paper or cloth
sprinkled with salt.
u. That blue ointment and kero-
sene. mixed in equal proportions,
and applied to bedsteads, is an un

coat of whitewash is ditto for the
walls of n log house.
ID. That kerosene will soften
boots or shoes which have been
hardened by water, and render
them as pIiable as new.
IA. That kerosene will make tin
teakettles as bright as new. Satn-
rate a wooden rag and rub with it.
1t will also remove stains from
clean vanished furniture.

all the liquid--and put it on fiat
