Messrs. WEEKS & POTTER: Gentlemen, Il can
not refrain from adding my debt of gratitude to you
for having placed within my reach the wonderful
CUTICURA REMEDIES, which have rendered unnec-
essary all further experiments of physicians, and in
a remarkably short space Of time have rid me Of a
loathsome disease. dispensed with all physicians
two years ago, believing they did me no good. The
CUTICURA has stopped this unsatisfactory expense

any longer to follow their advice-and brought the

on my scalp breast and limbs for five years. during

of medicine. l have been treated by Drs. - OF

and taken numbers of patent medicines, all without

POETRY.
Day Dreams.

New England airs have given her cheeks
Their fair, clear tints of rose;
A circle of New England hills
Bounds all the world she knows;
With simple joys and household tasks the days be-
gin and close.
A grave shy maiden, strictly reared
In puritanic wise,
With childhoods faith and innocence
Still cleaning in her eyes,
The grace of dawning womanhood investing speech
and guise.
Her life hath little charm or change
That other eyes can see;
Close cramped within the forms and creeds
Of her stern ancestry,
The barrier lines that guard her youth leave
naught but fancy free
And yet unknown to those around
Some happy fate or chance
Weaves thick with threads of shining gold
The gray of circumstance;
She lives within world of dreams and strays of
old romance.
When all the dark and dew of night
Are touched with Eastern glows,
Where sunrise lights the quiet fields
And tips the hills she knows,
She dreams of dawns that far away flush the wide
seas with rose.
OF leagues of forest lit with sun
And bfllowed by the breeze
OF snowy SUBMITS red with morn,
OF crimsoned argosies,
Of cities flashing back the day. of golden skies
and leas. =.
When sunset castled in the West,
Beset by gathering night
Defes host of shadows gray
With shafts of splendid light,
She sees in vistaed glows Heaven miraculously
bright.
And in the hush and gold of noon
There comes enchanted hours
When purple mists are on the hills
And skies have cloudy towers,
And tropic richness CLEANS among her gardens
scarlet flowers,
The while she plies her home9y tasks
In summer afternoons,
When shadows slant across the grass.
And birds sing softer tunes,
And yellow light is on the fields; waits of old
songs and runes
Float through her thought and Fancy sees
Betwixt the meadows wide,
Between the roadsides gay with flowers
A knightly horseman ride.
The sunlight on his plume and shield, his sheathed
sword at his side.
He rides to castled cloudland far
Beyond the bounding hills.
Where tabled beauty lives again
Whenever the dreamer wills,
And where the dreamy lotus blooms that cure for
human ills.
And she, the lady of his love,
Waits by the rustic gate;
Above her rise the holyhocks
In spires of crimson state,
And odors from the roses heath the passing
breezes freight
Her wide dark eyes gaze far away,
Her work falls on her knee,
And magic visions, silyer-winged,
Around her float and fee;
The summer air. the summer light are full of sor-
Gerry.
All! rain to mimic fancys fight
With Subtle arts of rhyme,
For her the bells of fairyland
Their wondrous measures chime;
The grace and glory of romance live in the present
time.
L lay aside my useless pen,
What words of mine can show
That ar-off wonderland of Dreams
Its towers of clouds ard snow,
And its eternal blooms and calms that none but
dreamers know

Autumn Leaves.

Autumn Leaves.
BY means of warm sand small boughs Of
leaves can be dried with their twigs and
leaves in natural position. Seeding ma
pies, only three or four inches high, that
are so abundant around full-groWn maple
trees, are very lovely dried in this manner.
A common wire sieve, quantity of clean
sand, and box, the bottom of which can
be easily removed, are the materials needed.
Set the sieve within the box, and in the in
terstices of the wire-work place the stems OF
the NAPLES or the base of the branch, with
every leaf posed as usual. Pour the sand,
heated to blood-warmth, through a paper
cone or tunnel around and upon the branch
es and leaves till they are covered. Set the
box in the sun or on the back of stove or
range If in the sun, two or three days
will be required to dry them; on stove or
range, with constant, steady warmth, TWEEN
ty-four hours will probably suffice. At the
end of that time remove the bottom of the
box and let the sand pass out. The little
trees and branches will remain in the sieve,
every leaf and twig gracefully balanced,
their colors clear and fresh, though in text
ure so firm as never to wilt or shrivel.
camel-hair pencil dipped in melted wax or
paraffine should finish them. Arrange the
trees in dish of sand, lay green moss upon
the surface, and you have a pretty parlor
Some Little Things of Value.
If your coal fire is low, throw on table,
spoonful of salt, and it will help it very
much. A little ginger put into sausage
meat improves the flavor In icing cakes,
dip the knife in cold water. In boiling
for meat soup use cold water to extract the
juices If the meat is wanted for itself
alone, plunge it in boiling water at once. You
can get bottle or barrel of oil off any car
pet or wooden stuff by applying buckwheat
plentfully. Never put water to such
grease spot, or liquid of any kind. Broil
steak without sailing. Salt draws the juices
in cooking: it is desirable to keep these if
possible. Cook over a hot fire, turning fire.
quently, soaring both sides. Place on
platter; salt and pepper to taste. Beef
having tendency to be tough can be made
very palatable by stewing gently for two
hours with salt and pepper, taking out about
pint of the liquor when half done, and
letting the rest boil into the meat. Brown
the meat in the pot. After taking up,
make gravy of the pint of liquor saved.
A small piece of charcoal in the pot with
boiling cabbage removes the smell. Clean
oil-cloths with milk and water; a brush and
soap will ruin them. Tumblers that have
had milk in them should never be put in
hot water. A spoonful of stewed tomatoes
in the gravy of either roasted or fried meats
is an improvement. The skin of boiled
egg is the most efficacious remedy that can
be applied to boil. Peel it carefully, wet
and apply to the part affected. 1t will
draw off the matter and relieve the sore
ness in a few hours. Springfield Union.
