ma Oh by d awning it across the paint :?
Now this is sometimes your expert
ence, for servants will be forgetful
or careless, and the tell-tale scratches
greet our eyes in most unlocked
for quarters. But we have found a
remedy for the marks, which, as
every one knows, quite defy soap
and water. Cut a sour orange or
lemon in half; apply the cut half to
the marks, rubbing for a moment
quite hard; then wash off with o
clean rag, dipped first in water
to moisten It. and then in whiting.
Rub we'll with this rag, dry thoro.
oughly, and nine-times out of ten the
ugly marks will vanish. OF course,
sometimes they are burned in so
deeply that they cannot be quite
Graduated. All fnger-marks on
painted walls, etc. should be rubbed
off with little damp whiting in the
same way, and never washed with
soapsuds, which destroy the paint

Scientific Patching.

In these hard times many families
have to resort to the good old fash
ion Of patching" the old clothes,
at least for every-day wear, and it is
we'll to know how to do it deity and
neatly. A Massachusetts, woman,
writing to the New York Erening
Post, gives the following sensible
hints on the subject: I shall begin
with the perhaps original axiom that
q patch must be rectangular. A
round or :" crooked" one will newt
ably thrust itself into notice, as it is
impossible to match the threads.
Then, a patch should never be i" laid
on" but always set in" To this
end, first cut away carefully by a
thread all that is in the least worn,
and turn back and haste down an
even seam all around. The corners
may be slashed slightly in o diagonal
direction to keep them square.
Then to this opening fit the patch
exactly, with the edges turned and
,basted, and few it cover and over
On the wrong side with thread of the
precise shade and very fine, sew
Tug alternately opposite sides to
avoid trouble with the corners. The
Extra thickness caused by the folded
corners Of the patch itself should be
cut out after sewing. and . little
fine darning added to keep them &C.

AT FORTY.

The sun of life has crossed the line,
The summer-shine Of heightened light
Faded and faied-till, where stand,
IT'S equal day and equal night.
One after one, as dwindling hours,
Youths glowing hopes have dropped away
And soon may barely leave the CLEAN,
That coldly scores winters day.
am not young, am not old;
The flush Of morn, the sunset calm,
Paling and deepening, Zach to each,
Meet midway with solemn charm.
One side see the summer fields,
. Not yet disrobed Of all their green;
While westerly, along the hills,
Flame the first tints Of frosty sheen.
All! middle point, where clouds and storm
Make battle-ground Of this my life!
Where, even matched, the night and day
Wage round me thcir September strife!
bow me- to the threatening gale;
know, when that is overpast,
Among the peaceful harvest days,
An Indian sammer comes at last.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 49, 1873.

Permit me to have a word to
say on that subject, ladies'" said
Harry Gnew, entering at that op.
perfume moment. "When | OBJ.
tain your consent, Mrs. Carman,
to our marriage, Lucy may write
for amusement. | am sure you
will not refuse to give me your
youngest daughter ?"
"Lucy has always been great
comfort to me-" replied Mrs. Car
man, tearfully, "and was unpre-
pared to part with her for some
years but this is one Of the chief
trials a mother is called upon to
bear, and I cannot expect to be
more favored than others. So
take her, Harry, with my bless
ing"
Here the good lady's emotions
so overcame her that she was
compelled TO leave the room.
This emotion, by the by, being
slightly at variance with her treat
ment Of her daughter few weeks
before. But then it is said that
"blessings brighten as they take
their fight" and We may imagine
a certain blessing, which had, the
moment before, added 70 the
household treasury, the sum of
twenty-five dollars, absolutely ra-
dians at the instant ofits depar-
ture.
As Mrs. .Carman's retreating form
disappeared, the happy Lucy gen.
tly placed her had in that of her
lover, saying:
THE appreciation of mother and
sisters, which l now enjoy, is all
owing to you, dear Harry; to you
belongs the honor Of discovering
my talent, and, but for your en-
couragement, I should always
have retained the Indifferent title
of The Untalentcd One

For THE HERALD.
GHE UNTALENGBD ONB'
BY REB.

They were o talented family,
certainly, were the Carmans; each
member possessing some particu.
lar talent, or accomplishment, in
which she excelled. There was
Elizabeth, whose music cnrapt-
ured all who heard her play, and
caused the staid old Professors to
open their eyes: in astonishment
at the rapid progress she made in
that art. Then, Emma, who could
converse for hours on the merits
and beauties of Claude Lorraine's
pictures, and, when the listener
had adniringly expressed his won
der at her knowledge Of the sub;
iect under discussion, she would
rise with gentle grace, and bring
forward q few little sketches Of
her own production, for his in
spection and opinion; taking the
praise, she was sure of receiving,
without the slightest embarass-
mont. Jerusha, who amply made
amends for her common name,
by charming the neighborhood
with the many specimens Of fine
neetllework and embroidery for
which she was noted several of
the most wonderful, assisting in
adorning the parlor. Maria, the
learned ono, who could converse
in five. different languages, and
whose favorite pastime was to
puzzle individuals by propo pound-
ing a question in French, Ger
man, or Spanish, and to note the
bewildered expression which it
called forth. Truly, theirs was q
talented family, and I presume if
there had been a son he would
have been-well, Heaven knows
what
l had almost forgotten to men
tion the youngest member of the
family, girl Of sixteen, but then
I may venture to assert that she
was occasionally ignored by her
mother and sisters. Poor little
Lucy was unskilled in any of the
arts which were the delight Of her
sisters, and surely that was sufi-
cient cause to account for the fact
that she was the chosen one on
whom all the disagreeable tasks
stunned by the others, fell. The
consequence was, that she lived a
quiet life apart from the rest of
the family, until they began to
imagine that such was the life
most suited to one Of her disposi-
ton, and at length Lucy shared
their opinion, and often wondered
why she was not talented too, and
wished she was moro like her
sisters.
Poor Lucy! she could not play
