Hints to Writer'S.

William Cullen Bryant once gave the
following sensible advice 10 young man
who had offered him an article for the
Egening Post:
Ny young friend, / observe that you
have used several French expressions in
your letter. l think, if you will study
the English language, that you will find
it capable Of expressing all the ideas
that you may have. | have always
found it so, and in all that have writ
ten ] do not recall an instance where !
was tempted 70 use foreign word, but
hat, on searching, l have found better
one in my own language.
Be simple, unaffected; be honest IN
your speaking and writing. Never use
long word when 4 short one viii do as
we'll.
Call a spade by its name, not weli
known oblong instrument Of manual
labor let home be a home and not
residence; a place not locality, and 80
on Of the rest. When a short word will
do, You always lose by .on,s one. Yen
lose in clemness; You lose IN honest
expression of meaning; and, IN the es-
timatiOn OF all men who are capable OF
judging, yOp lose in reputation for
ability.
The only true way 70 shine, even in
this false world. is TO be modest and .u-
assuming. Falsehood may le q thick
crust. but i'm the course Of. time irath
will find place 10 break through. Ele-
gance OF language may not he in the
power Of Us all, but simplicity and
straightfOrWariness are.
Write much as you would speak, and
as you think. If with your inferior,
speak no coarser than usual: if with
your superior, speak no finer. BE what
you say, and within the rules Of pru-
dence. No one ever was a gamer by
singularity Of words or in pronunciation.
The truly wise man will 30 speak that
no one will observe how lie speaks. A
man may show great knowledge of
chemistry by carrying bladders ofstrange
gases to breathe but one VIII enjoy bet
ter health, and find more time for busi-
ness, who lives on common air.
Sidney Smith once remarked: AFTER
you have written an article, take your
pen and strike out half the words, and
you will be surprised 70 see how much
stronger il is.'

a small quantity of turpentine added
10 stove blacking will make the stove
easier to polish.
To remove old putty from window
frames, pass a red-hot poker slowly over
it, and it will come off easily.
\ few drops of glycerine in bottle
Of mucilage will cause the mucilage TO
adhere to glass when used upon labels.
\ bottle of faxseed oil, chalk and
vinegar mixed to the consistency of
cream, should be kept in every house
for burns, scalds, etc.
Alabaster is best cleaned by putting it
in Il pan Of water and letting il soak
some hours until quite clean Another
mode is to cover it with a strong
solution of soda.
To prevent cistern water from becom-
ing offensive and impure, have the sup
ply pipe run nearly to the bottom Of
the well, where the supply of purest
water is always to be obtained.
To cleanse chamois skin wash il in
cold water with plenty Of soap, and
rinse well in clear cold water. Thus
You may wash as often as you please,
and still keep il soft.
Timed ware which speedily loses its
brightness should be distrusted. It
usually contains lead, which is dissolved
by very feeble acids, and is very poison
Gus. Iodide of potassium is the antidote.
To clean smoky marble, brush paste
of chloride Of lime and water over the
entire surface. Grease spots can be re-
moved from marble by applying paste
of crude potash and whiting i'm this
manner.
To clear cistern water, add two ounces
powdered alum and two ounces boraX TO
a twenty-barrel cistcrn Of rain water
that is blackened or oily, and in a few
hours the sediment will settle, and the
water be clarified and fit for washing.
Cut into pieces twelve onions; boil
them in three quarts of milk and water
equally mixed add little veal, season
with butter and pepper; add few well
toasted slices of white bread and a hand
ful of finely chopped parsley, and you
have nice onion soup.
Borax is used in washing, but it is
also used in starch. 1t stifiens the starch,
prevents the iron sticking and produces
a finer finish. 1t should he used by dis
solving half teaspooful in a little boil
ing water, and mixing it with about
three pints of the starch.
Avoid moving into newly built houses
until they are thoroughly dry. The
plaster will still retain tons of water,
after seeming to have become dry. This
must gradually evaporate, and be
breathed into the system, and it is spec
tally dangerous to young children.
