that of these gods and goddesses
When the suns declining rays their

one last adleu to their sovereign-He-

gazing on the vestiges of his glory,
breathless), imagining We have caught
a momentary glimpse of Paradise.
Then. when nothing marks the solemn stiffness,
save. perchance, a chino of bells
What world Of harmony, their symphony fore
tells.
AS the choir of angels voices borne oil the gentle
Zephyrs from afar
Then When fades the glimmering landscape
on the sight;
The curfsw tolls the knell of parting day;
The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea:
The plowman homewsrd plods his weory way,
And leaves the world TO darkness and to me-
Thcn-when all the reverence in
our nature is stirred, aud twilight
fraught with delicious and painful
recollections-
while DER ths harp of thought the passing

Awakens all the music of the mind

stud the dome of heaven, like sparkling
gems. While we are still absorbed in
our rcverie-or, if the dreamer be q

delightful of all tasks, invoking the
muses-till. as the varied-hued bubble

of life, which, after briefly tasting un-

distasteful than before.

A Montreal Invention to illuminate and
Heat Buildings.
From the Montreal Witness.

On seeing the application made to the
City Council by Messrs Murphy, Quinn
and Beiquc for permission to cross
Sherbrooke street with three-inch
pipe, for the purpose of heating with
gas the Montreal Seminary and College,
our reporter considered that the matter
interested our readers and the public in
general; for if heating can be done with
gas on an economical scale, an immense
amount of labor, expense and trouble
will be spared our citizens. Conse-
quently our reporter determined, in their
interest, to learn something about the
scheme, and with the following result:
1t is well known that cooking and heat
ing can be done with gas much more
conveniently and effectively than with
any other fuel; if, then, an economical
mode of making the gas can be invented,
the problem is solved This the above
named gentlemen claim to have done.
They make the gas from water by pas
sing steam through red-hot Goals con-
tanned in a Theoretically sealed vessel,
and by certain special devices relating
to the heating property of the coal, the
steam is decomposed into hydrogen, car
bonic oxide and carbonic acid; the last
is removed by publication, and the 9th
en- two gasses passing into the holder
are ready for immediate use. These
gasses, it is known to all scientists, give
more heat than any fuel ever yet used.

AS to the economy of their process the
proprietors assert that with the use OF
one ton Of coal they can make $4,000
cubic feet of gas, while by the old sys-
tenn only 5000 could be produced; that
with the same apparatus they can make
gas twice every hour, while by the old
system it takes from four to eight hours
for each operation; that their gas will
not cost more than fifteen cents per
1000 feet, quantity for which ordinary
gas companies charge from $3.50 to
$500. These gentlemen have spent
over two years and much money in ex-
perimenting, and, having finally succeed
ed in their efforts, made applications in
different quarters to use their gas. The
reverend gentlemen of the seminary,
with their usual farsightedness, gave
them every facility, and they have now
a contract for the heating of the college
and seminary-not for the lighting of
the buildings, as these gases give little
orno light The company is now formed
and almost all the capital subscribed
It is hoped that the members of the
Council will give every facility to this
enterprise, as it concerns the welfare of
our citizens-the poor even more than
the rich, as we are informed that the
gas can be delivered much cheaper than
any other fuel.

Hyacinth Growing.

The following rules for hyacinth
growing are copied from an English
work of authority
l. Place the bulbs in a cool situa-
ton uatH the pots are flled niM roots.
2. Keep them near the glass, for the
more light the greater is the elaboration
of the food and the more stiff the foil
age. The more compactly the bulbs are
arranged, the stouter the stock that
supports them, and the brighter the col
or of the flowers.
3. The size of the flowers and the
stoutness. or rather stiffness, of the
spike, depend upon their having plenty
of air on all favorable occasions.
i. That they have no more heat than
is necessary to maintain the plant in a
healthy, growing state
5. \ free, open soil. with plenty of
vegetable matter
&. Perfect drainage and being kept
free from worms.
I. \ moist soil at all times, neither
too wet nor too dry, and double the
moisture when the truss is nearly de-
veloped; alternate watering, using a
weak liquid manure at the temperature
of the house or room when applied.
8. When in bloom their beauty will
last much longer if they are kept in al
most an invariable temperature of 400
to 54o instead Of variable one; but
they must be fully in flower, or the col
ors will moi be SO bright, noe the flowers
so fine, without sufficiency of light
and heat.
9. The hyacinth will bloom much
more satisfactorily in house from
where frost is only excluded, than in
one where fire heat is employed.
After blooming withhold watering and

Bedroom Ventilation.


Professor Kedzie, in lecture before
Farmers Institutes in Michigan, offers
the following sensible advice
"'But, you will say, how can we tell
whether the air Of our bedroom is pure
or not? We are not chemists to an
alyze the air. Why, man! woman, you
have the best apparatus in the world,
and one given you for that purpose.
Nature has given every one of you a
nose, and purposely placed it in advance
of all the rest of the body to give warn
ing of danger. 1t is the advance guard
of safety! If you will use this one
talent which nature has given you, and
not keep it wrapped up in napkin,
you may go safely. Use your blessed
nose for this purpose tomorrow morn
ing to test the air of your bedroom.

A Picture of the Princely Ones.

A Picture of the Princely Ones.
Lucy Hooper in the Philadelphia Telegraph
The Princess of Wales is the cynos-
ure of all eyes, and well she may be, for
a fairer, sweeter vision has never adorn-
ed these historic halls, perfect embod-
iment of womanly grace and charm and
perfect loneliness. She wears dress
of white satin, the skirt covered with
scarfs of white Grape spotted with gold,
and the corsage adorned with festoons
of pearls and crossed with the broad
blue ribbon of the Order of the Garter.
She wears magnificent coronet OF dia-
monds, and around her neck is clasped
dog -collar necklace of diamonds laid
upon blue ribbon. Her sister-in-law,
the Princess Of Denmark, towers con-
spicuous above every man in the party,
except perhaps the tall Prince Of Swed
en-; she is attired in tea-rose satin trim
med with gold lace, and wears a tiara of
diamonds. She is not at all pretty,
though graceful and stylish looking in
spite of her immense height. There is
a story told of how she went to one of
the Ministerial balls, recently, wearing
a rather lofty diadem, and she bumped
so often into the chandeliers while
dancing, that the crowd irreverently
giggled, and the unlucky lady got dis
gusted and went home. The Crown
Prince of Sweden may be described as
long, gangling boy, with legs like a
pair of compasses in trousers; he is
very young and very tall, wears eye
glasses, and looks as shy as school
boy at his first grown up party. The
Duke of Aosta, Prince Amadeus Of TIA
ly, has let his full beard grow, process
that has robbed him of much of his air
of distinction and look of sentimental
sadness, while adding greatly to his re-
semblance to his brother, King Hum
bert We all know what Wales y
looks like; tall, broad-shouldered, and
bald, with good natured, but not par
ticularly intellectual countenance. The
royal cortege once past, the two grand
orchestras started up the merriest
waltzes in turn, and the young people
present do their best to dance in spite
of the enormous and ever increasing
crowd and the terrific heat.

OUR OLD FRIEND, THE APPLE The
genuine apple-eater comforts himself
with an apple, in their season, as others
with a pipe or cigar. When he has
nothing else to do, or is bored, he eats
an apple. While he is waiting for the
train he eats an apple, sometimes sew
eral of them. When he takes walk,
he arms himself with apples. His trav-
elingbag is full of apples. He offers
an apple to his companion, and takes
one himself They are his chief solace
when on the road. He sows their seed
all along the route. He losses the core
from the car-window and from the top
of the stage coach. He would, in time,
make the land one vast orchard. He
dispenses with knife. He prefers
that his teeth shall have the first taste.
Then he knows the best flavor is i'm
mediately beneath the skin, and that
in a pared apple this is lost. If you
will stew the apple, he says, instead of
baking it, by all means leave the skin
on. 1t improves the color and vastly
heightens the flavor Of the dish.
The apple is masculine fruit; hence
women are poor apple eaters. 1t be-
longs to the open air, and requires an
open-air taste and relish.
l instantly sympathizcd with that
clergyman | read Of, who, on pulling
out his pocket handkerchief, in the
midst of discourse, pulled out two
bouncing apples with it that went roll
ing across the pulpit floor and down the
pulpit stairs. These apples were, no
doubt, to be eaten after the sermon, on
his way home or to his next appoint
ment. They would take the taste of it
out of his mouth Then, would a min
lister be apt to grow tiresome with two
big apples in his coat-tail pockets?
Would he not naturally hasten along to
lastly and the big apples? If they
were the dominic apples, and it was
April or May he certainly would

When you get up leave your bedroom
just as it was; go out into the pure
morning air and breathe that till your
nose is wide awake, and then go back
and take few snuffs of your bedroom
air; if it smells fresh and sweet, like
outdoor air, you have good ventilation,
and have breathed the breath of life
all the night. But if it is close, musty,
and sickening- well, I'll leave you to
finish that sentence when you and your

and to draw your own conclusions. Try
the experiment by all means, and see
how much your nose can tell you. Per-

The Literary Career.

The Philadelphia Bulletin says that

pulse, rs nearly all intelligent young
people do in greater or less degree, at
one time or another, will find il profit
able, if they think of cmbarking upon
literary career, to read certain con-
LESSONS that have appeared in the At
iaatic MOHthy for August and Septcm-
Der. The first confessor, who seems TO
be n writer of some skill, shows that he
earned only about 5000 by persistent
literary work continued during ten
years. The second confessor, in the
September atlantic, tells a dismal tale
of hard and exhaustive work without
adequate compensation, and he gives
the following as the conclusion to which
his experience has forced him; | am
satisfied that story or novel writing
alone leads TO starvation unless you are
illustrious. A literary man must have
the weekly wages which comes from
drudgcry. This is the necessaire; story
writing is the uperfuc," There can be
no doubt Mt all that this is sound doc
trine. Any one who is conversant with
the facts of the matter, from observa-
ton or experience, must confess that
the man who attempts to support him
self with his pen, depending upon find
ing a market for his wares after they
have been produced, is inevitably
doomed to "A life Of extreme poverty un-
less he has great genius. If he seeks

his writings have great excellence and
popularity, that his largest possible
