BeacOnsfield's Courage.

When Lord Beaconsield first came to
Berlin the acting Chief of Police waited
upon the British Premier to caution
him against walking in the streets.
There might be assassins abroad, the
officer argued with evident anxiety, in
tent upon killing the leading man of the
high and mighty assembly that had met
in Berlin. Lord Beaconsfield, in reply,
expressed doubt that Berlin assassins
were sufficiently cosmopolitan to extend
their operations to foreign Ministers So
journing in this Capital. However,
being ignorant of the state of the place,
the repeated warning of the anxious
officer eventually took effect upon the
possible victim. For a week, there
fore, the noble Lord used to drive out in
a closed carriage, which he only left
at distance from the town, to take his
constitutional in places beyond the
reach of Socialists and anarchists. But
his bold spirit rebelled against these
secret promenades. Having always
deemed death preferable to eternal inn
prisonment, the Earl, after a weeks
abstinence, determined to slight the
warnings of the police and freely showed
himself in hotel, street, and park. He
had no reason to regret his Independent
course. Unless inconvenienced by OBJ
strusive attention on the part of the
metropolitan public, his walks were as
agreeable as they were safe. Fame has
its attendant penalties, and stares are
punishments inflicted by admirers
Lord Beaconsfield was counted amoue
the most interesting sights Of the Capi "a
during the last month.

PRESERVED OUNCES: Pare, quarter
and core the fruit, saving skins and
cores. Put the ounces over the fire
with Just enough water to cover them,
and simmer until perfectly tender, but
do not let them break. Take out the
fruit and spread on dishes to cool; add
the parings and cores to the water in
which the ounces were boiled and cook
one hour; then strain through jelly
bag, and to each pint of this liquor
allow a pound of sugar. Boil and
skim this, then put in fruit and boil
fifteen minutes. Take it of the fire and
let it stand in deep dish twenty-four
hours. Then drain off the syrup, and
let it boil again; putin the ounces, and
boil fifteen minutes. Take out the fruit
and spread on dishes to cool; boil down
the syrup thick; put the fruit in your
jars until two-thirds full, then cover
with the syrup.
The pantry shelves are getting grimy
or finger marks around the door latches
are looking dark and unsightly. For
lack of time they are left day after day, for
it is hard work to scour all the time,
and it wears off the paint, too. The hus-
band keeps his bottle of oil, or perhaps
a large can holds it, for he never stints
in that. Now suppose his wife had her
bottle of spirits of ammonia to use; she
takes her basin of water and clean cloth,
Just puts on a few drops of the fluid and
wipes off all the dirt; it is worth more
than half days labor, and does not
hurt the paint either. She could put a
few drops in her dish water and see how
easily her dishes could be cleaned; few
drops ON a sponge could clean all the
windows in the sitting room, making
them shine like crystal. Itwould take
the stains off the teaspoons, and tea
spoonful in the mop-pail would do more
than ten pounds of elbow-grease applied
to the mop-handle. A housewife ha
just as much right to make her worl
easy and expeditions as her husband has
If she does not do it, the fault is he
own in great measure.

Floating.

We were in a boat gliding down the
river. Sir John has taken an aversion
to boating; he saysit has every disad-
vantage that can be thought of. You
can't move about. and to a restless being
that must be very painful. You are
rained upon, or fercely shone upon, tor
tured by cold or worried by heat, with
out the power of protecting yourself.
You are either, he says, a slave at the
oar or a serf at the tiller, abused by
everybody, however judicious your
steering may be; or you are in the de-
graded position as a sitter, and are
promptly ordered not to lean too much
not to put ysur hand in the water Gf

look at anything.

in love with girl, who had no mer, ts
riches nor rank nor pleasant relations,
nor any thing on earth to recommend
her.
"I for one believe that man to be fully
justified in his liking. "A woman or a
man shall have no beauty, no grace, and
yet shall be profoundly lovable being
Don't let US talk about love; it is a sub
ject we shall never agree upon. You
may discuss the rights of women or the
wrongs of men; good manners or cruelty
to animals"

and he would have us believe it was in
