A lihpnx Ereeting.

Sunday, the 10th instant, being The
Goth birthday Of Mrs. Margaret Turner
passed off in an agreeable and happy
manner. Mrs Turner, for a numb i
OF years, has been stricken with para
lysis and unable to enjoy outdoor exer
else, being confined 10 the house from
one years end to another. For a long
time she has been making her homt
with her son-in-]aw, Mr.. John Thomas
No. 706 Bennett street.
She has raised quite large family
of children, which are all married and
settled down in different parts of this
State and Pennsylvania. 1t is the desire
of her children to make their mother
comfortable and happy, and in order to
do so, they for years past have been in
the habit of assembling to celebrate
their mothers birthday. Sunday, June
10th, being the day for the occasion, she
was quite surprised by her children,
and grandchildren, 80 in number, and
some of her friends from Kennel Square,
Marshaiton and Philadelphia, who all
met at the residence of Mr.. Thomas, and
after the usual greeting they seated
themselves to bountiful repast, and
after doing justice to the good things
prepared for the occasion, and enjoying
themselves by singing religious hymns
for some time, the table was again re.
plenished, and after all had partaken,
the time arrived for them to return to
their homes.
Bidding her mother farewell for the
day, she requested item one and all to
meet her in the kingdom. They in re-
turn wished their mother long life
and many more such happy birthday
surprises. The whole was a day of
happiness and pleasure to Mrs. Turner
to have her children, grandchildren and
friends to meet with her in her old age,
day long to be remembered.

have narrowed to the quick the hearts

beyond reach of cure, the germ of
dark despair. Oh! may woman, before
that sight arrives, dwell on the recol-
lection of her youth, and, cherishing the
dear idea of that tuneful time, awaken

NATURES REMEDY. - People who,
without knowing that they were apply
ing natures remedy, have drawn in
their breath hard when they have cut q
finger or barked shin on coal scut-
tie, will be pleased to learn that they
have employed respiratory analgesia in
its simplest form. If any man will
draw breath deeply and quickly for
the space of three minutes or less, he
will thereby lose acute sensibility to
pain, so that he can endure q minor
surgical operation without inconven-
fence. Eminent surgeons have found
the process of great advantage when
used alone, not only, but when an@s-
thetics also were employed, in which
latter case the quantity of the drug to
be used is greatly diminished.

Cooking for InYalids.

Let all the kitchen utensils used in
the preparation of invalids' cookery be
delicately and scrupulously clean; if
may be impaired to the preparation,
which flavor may disgust and prevent
the patient from partaking Of the re-
freshment when brought to him or her.
For invalids never make o large
quantity of one thing, as they seldom
require much at time, and it is desir-
able that variety be provided them.
Always have something in readiness;
little beef tea, nicely made and nicely
skinned, few spoonfuls of jelly, etc. +,
that it may be administered as soon al.
most as the invalid wishes for it. If
obliged to wait a long time the patient
loses the desire to eat, and often turns
against the food when brought to him
or her.
In sending dishes or preparations up
to invalids let everything look as tempt
ing as. possible. Have clean tray
cloth laid smoothly ever the tray;
let the spoons, tumblers, cups and sau-
GERS, etc., be very clean and bright.
Cruel served in tumbler is more ap-
petizing than when served in basin or
cup and saucer.
If the patient be allowed to eat veg
etables never send them up under
cooked or half-raw; and let small
quantity only be temptingly arranged
on a dish. This rule will apply to
every preparation, as an invalid is
much more likely to enjoy his food if
small, delicate pieces are served to
him.
A mutton chop, nicely cut, trimmed
and broiled to turn, is dish to. be
recommended for invalids; but it must
not be served with all the fat at thu
end, nor must it be too thickly cut.
Let it be cooked ovex q fire free from
smoke and sent up with the gravy in it
between two very hot plates. Nothing
is more disagreeable to an invalid than
smoked food .-Arthur's Magazine.

to be exceedingly vain and provoking
while sitting for his portrait. He was

ting. He was so affected and cranky
that she was sorry she undertook him.
He was very particular about the color
of the dress. He wore a stock on his
neck, then the fashion, and wanted to
know what color it was going to be, and
being told lavender he said, in his
Fostering way, that might be the color
of bird or anything Not only the
color but the materials of which it was
composed had to be explained to him.
When the picture was finished he was
called in, and after scanning it for o
time broke out affectedly: Madame,

but not SO handsome as the original 7
was the quick reply. This captured

paid down the money-$60-and bore
away the picture to his room. He was
so pleased with it that some days after,
when Miss Peale was sitting with a
crowd of ladies in the Senate gallery,
Mr.. Gushing, seeing her, left his seat,
and seeking her out, leaned over and
chatted so long that the fair artist felt
uncomfortable, as the little tete-a- tete
attracted the attention of the whole
