An NhtuSn Man.

She was a stylish young lady, about
eighteen years old, and to accommodate
a friend she took the baby out for an
airing. She was wheeling it up and
down the walk, when an oldlsh man
very deaf, came along and inquired for
a certain person supposed to live on
that street. She nearly yelled her
head off trying to answer him, and he
looked around, caught sight of the
baby and said:
:" Nice child that. l suppose you
feel pround of him?'
ut isn't mine," she yelled at him.
"Boy, eh Well, he looks just like
you"
at isn't mine !" she yelled again,
but he nodded his head and continued:
"Twins, Ell! Where's the other
one?'
She started off with the cab, but he
followed and asked:
odd it die Of colic?"
Despairing of making him under
stand by words of mouth, she pointed
to the baby, at herself, and then shook
her head.
"Yes-yes, I see-t'other twin in the
house. Their father is fond of them, of
course"
She turned the cab, and hurried
the other way, but he followed and
asked:
"Do they kick around much at
nights"
~ tell you faint mine," sheshouted,
looking very red in the face.
81 think you're wrong there " he
answered. "Children brought up on
the bottle are apt to pine and die"
She started on run for the gate, but
before she opened it he came up and
asked:
Have to,spank them once in while,
[ suppose"
She made about twenty gestures IN
half a minute, and he helped the cab
through the garden gate, and said:
"Our children were all twins, and I'll
send my wife down to give you some
advice. You see"
But she picked up a hower-pot and
flung it at him. He jumped back,
and as she entered the house, he called
out:

A CheaD DiSinfectant,

A correspondent of the New Yol K
Herald says that the " chloride of lead
is the most efficient and cheapest deo-
dorizer and disinfectant known" AS
some neutraGzing agent of this kind
should be freely used at this time in
every house, we give the processes of
preparing and using it, rs given in the
Herald:
To prepare solution of chloride of
lead on small scale for family use,
take one-eighth of an ounce of nitrate
lead and dissolve it in one quart of boil
ing water then dissolve one ounce of
common salt in five gallons of water,
pour the two solutions together, and
when settled pour off the clear mixed
solution and keep well corked in a
demijOhn or jug for use.
A cloth wet with this and suspended
in the room will neutralize all offensive
vapors, and little dashed into privy,
sink. drain or sewer will disinfect and
destroy all noXious gases by combin-
ing with them. 1t is said to be in gen
eral use in England for purifying sew
ers; also for destroying the stencil of
bilge water in the holds of vessels.

Thoughtful Trifies.

Great things are not accomplished by
idle dreams, but by years of patient
study.
Judge not from appearance lest you
might err in your judgemnt.
Some of the grandest things which
have been achieved were by those
whom we thought were our interiors.
Narrow not your mind to your own
selfishness, but give it broad field for
your fellow-men to work in.
Study all things of nature in your
daily walk through life.
Do as your conscience dictates and
you will not go far astray.
Be respectful to all men that you
may command respect.
Kind words are better than gold, and
the voice of q friend has saved many a
man from ruin.
Many kind hearts beat beneath seem
ingly cold exteriors
Be happy if you can, but do not de-
spise those that are otherwise, for you
know not their troubles.

The Hill of Life.

The roads leading over the hill of life
are numerous; some people take the
road which is bright and gay-on which
flowers of the richest hue are blooming
but they find, that before they are
helf way, the flowers are faded, all is
bleak, they are wearied, and are glad
to lie down and die; others strive to go
over the steep banks which lead to for
tune and to fame, but the paths on
which they walk are weak and rugged:
some stop at a deep precipice over
which they are unable to pass; the foot
hold of others give way, and they are
hurled to the bottom, while only a few
reach the coveted goal; but the wise
man chooses the road which goes over
the hill with a gradual slope, on which
here and there are sweet flowers which
cheer him on his way until he arrives
at his journeys end, where dwells
Peace, Happiness and Contentment.

An Aching Void.

She got letter at the postOffice yes
terday. Ithad a bulky, financial look,
and she didn't wait to reach home be-
fore breaking the envelope. Rushing
to one Of the windows she tore one end
of the envelope off, hunted through the
fOur-paged letter for greenbackS, and
her cOuntenance fell exactly eight inches
by the government guage as she didn't
find any. She seemed about to tear the
letter into shreds, but female curiosity
never defeats itself that way. Turning
to the letter she read :
My darling. this is my fifth letter to
you within a week. [ enclose"
Here she looked the letter over, peer
ed into the envelope, and then care
fully searched the floor, but she didn't
find it. Turning to the letter she
read:
81 inclose-my Iove-my undying
affections"
1t was all she could do to restrain her
desire to tear the letter from the big
a" at the upper left-hand corner
down to the word " darling" at the lower
right hand corner, but she suddenly saw
something that made her almost smile,
1t was paragraph beginning:
"NeXt time | write l will send you
something more substantial. will send
you fifty
She stopped to smile real genuine
smile, and then finished
t. fifty beautiful pictures to paste
on your fruit jars !"
One of the carriers was looking at
her from behind the glass screen, and
says that she jumped eighteen inches
high and came down on her heels with
a grinding motion that gave him pain
in his ribs for more than an hour

Recipes.

CHOCOLATE Ice CREAM.-Add to the
pint of sweetened cream four ounces of
the best chocolate dissolved in q little
water, mix 1t we'll in, strain through a
sieve and freeze.
To Cook A HEART.-Wash clean, put
in pot, and almost cover with water;
boil till quite tender, take up and cut
out the inside. Make stuffing same as
for chicken, and stuff it. Use plenty of
butter. Bake one hour.
To PRESERVE EGGs.-Apply with q
brush solution of gum arabic to the
shells, or immerse the eggs therein; let
them dry. and afterward pack them in
dry charcoal dust; this prevents them
being affected by any alteration of
temperature, and preserves them for a
very long while.

posing of the remains of ham, max
ing an excellent dish for breakfast, Is:

THELOVERS.
By LIEUT.. Ell. KELLOGG.


They stro lied upon the pebbly strand
youth and maiden hand IN hand-
Entangled IN loves siken band,
The happiest couple in the land.
And he was Young, and she was fair;
The shimmering mesheS Of her hair
Fell o err q face and form so rare,
That few could with their grace compare.
From sea-sheIls on the oceans shore,
Where tumbling pillows loudly roar,
A string Of pearls the maiden wore
Beneath net of Ophir's ore.
Aroand her waist his stalwarL arm
Was tWined, a guard TO every harm,
TO check her beating hearts alarm,
His right hand pressed her fiutt ring palm.
8 Oh, lady! do read Alright.
Beneath the moon, which shines so bright,
That | have won your love tonight -
lie asked the maid with fond delight.
AS Heavenly rays Hume the skies,
Just as the trembling maiden signs
Her answer quickly he implies,
Within the sJar-Gepths Of her eyes.
Those tear drops, quiyering like the spray
Which on the tossing ocean lay,
Like diamonds in the moonbeam's ray,
Were quickly kissed by him away.
The moon shone down with features bright.
The sea-gu!l ceased her curying flight
TO hear the trOth the lovers plight
With murmurs Of supreme delight.
And then, beside the ocean grand,
Those happy lovers, hand in hand,
Went roaming DER the silver sand.
The happiest pair in all the land.

WE have received a poem from
"Ophelia'' which places us in q rather
embarrassing position. Ophelia says:
" Kiss no one but me darling; kiss no
one but me: and [ VOW, as | live, III
kiss no one but thee" This proposition
is fair enough, certainly; but we have
never seen Ophelia. Her lines are not
accompanied by her photograph, as a
guarantee of good faith. She may
have red hair, q celestial nose, and
poor teeth. We might be hugely sold
if we were to swear off indulging in
.osculatory exercises with the fair sex in
general, and kiss no one but Ophelia.
Besides, we are married, and our wife
would probably not give her consent to
such an Arrangement. Ophelia had

On Sabbath last, the cave in which

1t came well nigh extinguishing more
than the lights of an exploring party
1t seems that Messrs. w. III. Phillips,

Sumpter, accompanied by a cOlored boy,
seeking refuge from the heat, had gone
into the cave, and, after following its
Windings for mile OF more, had faced
about and were returning, when sud
denly they were terrified by the sound
of the waters laundering down upon
them from the entrance. Some persons
at the mouth of the cave, not knowing
that an exploring party was in, had
started the turbine wheel, and the pent-
up river was rushing madly down its
hidden bed. The suspense to the party
imperiled was of brief duration. In a
moment the water had them in its pow
rocks, and sweeping them before it on
what seemed, without a figure the wave
of death. Fortunately they were soon
carried into an opening too large to be
filled by the current, where, clinging to
the overhanging rocks, they were able
to hold themselves up, until the flood
gate was again closed. Their lights
were, however, all out, and, cut and
bruised, as they were already, they had
10 make their way to the spring, more
than half mile distant, in pitch dark
ness, over a broken, rocky, cavernous
path, which, even with the light of day,
would be exceedingly difficult. Fortu-

this party Of sight-seers will in the
future be careful under what circum-
stances they explore the bowels of the
