READING NO man or woman is too
busy or too old to learn something by the
reading of good books and papers. The
cheapness o: good literature, of family
papers and choice magazines, breaks down
any barrier that may have been in the
way, and yet l know families who take
but two papers, a daily and a weekly, and
own all the year round that "they fnd 10
time, to read" The lack is not in time,
but the way of spending it, and too many
Of the hard working men and women even
Of this age ignore the fact Of their mental
need, while ministering 80 brayely to the
physical necessities. Culture and refine
ment are the necessary trimming to
,nany beautiful but homely life, that has
10 it much to be admired, but is wanting
in these elements. Good reading tends to
elevate the most homely lives.

DAVIS AND PuGn.-Of Jefferson Davis
in Congress, Major Poore writes: "Davis
was like most Southerners, fiery, and at
times domineering, but he could never be
ranked among the chronic quarrelers, who

His most troublesome opponent was SEN
ator Pugh, Of Ohio, who was the champ
ion of the Douglas men and the foe Of the
6re-eaters. Pugh always used to intimate
that Davis provoked the controversy when
they had sharp words, and would express
regret, iu his sarcastic way, tha: he had
been provoked into dispute. One day
he threw down the gauntlet, which Davis
picked up, and an exciting debate ensued,
in which hard words were given and tax
en-. Finally other Democratic Senators
interfered, and as Pugh sat, rather sullen-

bis chair. be felt bit of paper put into
his hand. It contained these words:
Who commenced this time! J. D. Pugh
fought the good fight to the last, and his
speech at the Charleston Convention in
reply to Yancey aud in defense Of Douglas.
was the noblest oratorical effort ever heard
in a national covention."

A Cheap Disinfectant

A correspondent of the New York
Herald says that the Chloride of
lead is the most efficient and cheapest
deodorizer and disinfectant known"
As some neutralizing agent Of this
kind should be freely used at this
time in every house, we give the me-
cessary process for preparing and us
ing it, as given in the Herald:
To prepare solution Of chloride of
lead on small scale for family use,
take one-eighth Of an ounce Of nj
trate of lead and dissolve in one quart
of boiling water; then dissolve one
ounce of common salt in five gallons
of water, pour the two solutions to-
gether, and when settled pour off the
clear mixed solution and keep
we'll corked in demijohn or jug for
use.
A cloth wet with this and suspended
in the room will neutralize sll offens-
i've vapors, an0 little dashed into a
privy, sink, drain or sewer will dis.
infect and destroy all noxious gases
by combining with them. 1t is said
to be in general use in England for
purifying sewers also for destroying
the stencil Of bilge water in the holds
of vessels.
