Delilah suddenly revived the mems

husband to wife, in answer to q pleasant

Thus are habits of disrespect formed, and one
of the great dengers of home life bred and fos-

"Wlikin's Home" where James comes tumb-
ling into the house at dusk, dumps his hod in
on corner, his hat and coat in another kicks the
cat through the window, dsmns Martha, swears
the grub isu't "fit for a man to eat" and
raises general row all round. 1t is good
thing for the we'll to do in life to study the
character of the extremists of the lower strata,
and ask themselves if there is not room for
Improvement in their own more pretentlous
homes.
Some homes are full of love aud sunshine for
strangers, and all ugliness and gloom for the
ones for whom they made. To constitute q
truly happy home, there should be pretty lit

The following lines from the celebrated
Tom Marshall, of Kentucky, one of the
learned men of the State, are worthy of pc
russl:
'sSir-I would not exchange the physical SEN
sAtions, the mere sense of animal being, which
belongs to a man who totally retraius from all
that can inEoxioate his brain or derange his
nervous structure-the elasticity with which
he bounds from his couch in the morning-tbe
sweet repose it yields him at night-the feel
ing with which he drinks in, through his clear
eye, the beauty and the grandeur of eurround-
ing nature; 1 say, sir, would not exchange my
conscious being strictly temperate man
the sense of renovated youth-the glad play
with which my pulses now beat healthful music
the bonding vivacty with which the life
blood courses its exciting way through every
fibre of my frame-the communion high which
my health full ear and eye now hold with all tho
gorgeous universe of G Jd-the spleudors of the
morning, the softuess of the evening sky-the
bloom, the beauty, the verdure of the earth, the
music of the air and waters-with all the
grand associations of external nature reopened
to the Iine avenues of sense; no, Sir, though
poverty dragged me-though scorn pointed its
Glow finger at ms as passed-thongh want
and destitution, and every element Of earthly
misery, save only crime, met my waking eye
from day to day; not for the brightest and the
noblest wreath that ever encirced a states
mans brow; not if come angel commissioned by
Heaven, or some demon rather ssnt fresh from
hell, to test the resisting strength of virtuous
resolution, should tempt me back, with all the
wealth and all the honors which q world can
bestow; not for all that time and all that earth
can give would cast from me this precious
pledge of q liberated mind, this talismAn
against temptation, and plunge again into the
dangers and horrors which once beset my
path; SO help me Heaven, as 1 would spurn
beneath my very feet all the gifts the universe
could offer, and live and die as 1 am, poor and

THE RUSSIAN FURNACE.
HOW GRASS AND sTUBBLE ARE UTILIZED AS
FUEL BY THE MENNoNIrEs IN NEBRASKA.
Correspondence Chicago Times.


The material used for the Russian furnace
seems unimportaut. Some employ common
brick, others stone one builder told me he
preferred to mix one part of sand with two OF
clay. In his judgment this mixture retained
heat longest for radiation through house.
The position of the furnace is naturally as
central as possible, because heat tends to diff
fuse itself on all sides alike. Furnaces will, OF
course, vary in size with the size of houses. A
good model is this: Length, five feet; height,
six, and width, two and half. The bricks
employed are about six hundred, unless the
walls be of extraordinary thickness The
structure may be said to have six stories. /,
the ash-box 9. the fire box; 3, the oven q,
the smoke passage; 5, hot.air chamber o.
smoke passage either to chimney or to drum
in an upper room. Many questions have been
asked me as to the rs of the fice OF fuel-box.
It's length Is about four feet, its width and
height, eacn, about foot aud half. 1t 10
asked, "How is the grass pressed or prepared
for the fire. boxf' L. is not prepared at ALL but
fodder into rack. People supp 81 they mnst

not the fact. At the bouse of BrshOp Peters
(45x27). which ls q large one for q new conn
try, the grass or straw is pitched in for about
twenty minutes twice, or at most three times
in tweuty-four hours. That amount of firing
q suflices both for cooking and for comfort.
1t will be observed that the heated air strikes
the oven, and also the reservoir of hot slr
both above and below, aud that no particle OF
hot air reaches the chimney till after turning
four corners. 1t works its passage The iron
plates, doors and shutters such as any
foundry can furnish. Tney are inexpensive
In a case where inquired the cost, it was 50.
