Mr.. Eli McCulloch, residing near London,

SNAKE Few "A pretentious stu
dent in Brown University once told DR.
Wayland that he thought it would be easy
to make proverbs like those of Solomon.
The reply of DR.. Wayland was, snake a
few! If skeptics who have spent so much
time in railing at the Bible would try their
hands at making a better book, a book
that would take hold upon the heart of
humanity; which would interest children
and comfort old age; which would inspire
manhood and womanhood with the high
est, truest. noblest thoughts; which would
chasten them in joy and comfort them in
sorrow. If infdels would produce the first
page of such a book as this, we would
gladly listen to what they have to say.
But this eternal fault-fnding, this ever
lasting negation; this seeking to rob peo-
pie of healthy and comfortable faith and
leave them nothing in its place; this para
ding of few worn-out sneers and objec-
lions, never will accomplish much with
world that is hungering for the bread of
life, and that longs to drink of the water
of salvation"

Going into stocks must be a curious bust

Failing IN Love.

1t is not a new thing to love. There has
been more or less love in the world for sew
eral thousand years, bnt the advancing
civilization of the age has brought along
with it many modern improvements, OF
which love gets it's share. Probably
young man is just as nice being to fall IN
love with now-and there isn't any doubt
that young waman is great deal nicer
than was the case twenty or thirty
centuries ago, but girl of this day, with
all her sweetness, is perverse, and declines
to follow after the fashion of her great
grandmothers away back in the ages. She
may have strange idea that girls then fell
in love with man by the most direct
route, because there was nothing else to
fall in love with, because girls then didn't
wear frizzes, and have plumes and paper
flowers in their hats and a hundred other
things to fill their minds and hearts, which
keep the girls of our time oobusy for any,
thing. But our girls must not be misun-
derstood. They are always talking about a
man, always, only don't fall in love with
him, if the developments of nearly every
day go for anything. They are forever
trifling themselves and then go desperately
and hopelessly in love, sometimes with one
thing and sometimes with another, but
not often with a man. Occasionally the
lender passion is aroused by button-hole
bouquet, the sweetest thing you ever saw;
frequently it is perfectly lovely NOUS
tach, black-it must always be black-that
kills; sometime a many-colored necktie OF
seal ring, or pair of elegant boots, or p
diamond pin, or almost anything which
would naturally be classed with these gilt
tering attractions to swindle young wo-
mans affection Of course there is always
a man attached, and that may naturally
be accounted of some consequence, but it
is too rarely considered until it's too late.
The fact clearly is that love is too blind
for moral use. He doesn't see as well now
by gaslight as be used to years ago in the
unsteady and hideous glare of the tallow
candle. and there is no eye opener that
seems to reach his base to serve as check
upon his headlong and too often disastrous
career. A moustache is just the same
over the front gate in the dark as in the
bri ghtness of an electric light if the girl is
in love with it, and it isn't worth while
for any but those who may be interested
in the divorce business to bother much
about Philadelphia Times.

Poetry.
SUMMERS HERE.
Purple volets have died;
snow-drops lost their leaves Of snow;
But in valley green and wide
Honeysuckes grow;
Robins with their rainbow breasts
Through the sunshine flashing go,
Dreaming of their hidden nests
Builded high and low,
There's rain of silvery singing-summer's here, you
know.
From the maple tassels red
All the fire has burned away,
And the soft green caves instead
On the branches plays
Butterflies with wings of gauze
In the gold air golden glow
And enthr0ned in roses pause,
Coaxing them to blow:
There blue skies, heavenly, tender-summer's here,
you know!
Where the hillsdes wept in spring,
Grows the verdure fresh and bright:
And the swollen rivers sing
Rippng with delight;
Lilies, swaying with the tide,
In the sloe-kissed waters blow;
And the swallows as they glide
Shadows fling below;
There's whole worlds throbbing puses-summers
here you know!
SQUIRRELS dart from tree to tree;
In the tangled woods are heard
whispering strains OF ecstacy
When the pines stirred:
Plumy ferns, that light winds shake,
Rock the sunshine to and fro,
And in quivering shadows make
Plumy ferns below;
there's abandonment of nature-summer's here,
you know!

SCoLLoPED ONIoNs.-Sliee six large
onions, pour boiling water upon them, and
cook them several minutes; pour off this
water and add more boiling water. Boil
fifteen minutes, and pour off the water
agoin. Then take pieces of very stale
bread, and crate or roll fine. Butter
pudding dish, and place in it first layer
of bread crumbs, then the layer of the on
ions, and season with salt, pepper, and
bits of butter. Then another layer Of
crumbs and one of onions. and lastly, a
light layer of crumbs, seasoning all well.
Pour over this about pint and half of
sweet milk, and bake an hour and a half
in moderate oven. To those who are
fond of onions, this is a very acceptable
dish, and those who object to them cooked
in other ways consider this quite palata-
BILE, as the flavor of the onions through it
is so delicate.

they must be turned in and run with

FARM AND PRESIDE.

How TO MAKE COLOGNE WATER
The only perfume which never seems to
offend any, and which leaves no unpleas-.
ant twang behind it, is that OF cologne
water. which stimulates while it sooths the
senses, and suggests pleasant whole
someness, as the best of the extracts ana
essences apd boquets are not apt to DO.
We do not mean; of course, the cheap
and common cologne water often sold
which is usually very much worse than
none at all, and won't to leave, after dry
ing. the smell of burned sugar where it has
been used often, as it is made Of the poor
est spirit, and necessarily without subse-
quent distillation, without regard to the
fact that it requires the strongest proof or
recti6ed spirit to dissolve the combined
oils properly where the process OF distilla-
ton is not USED. Indeed. with no trouble
at all, any one can make in her own store
room better article of cologne than that
which is usually bought. by thoroughly
dissolving fluid drachm of the oils of
bergamot, orange and rosemary, each with
a half drachm of neroli and pint of rec
titled spirit. AS good as can be made out
of cologne itself, however, is also as COM
fortably prepared at home as at the chem
ist's-at so much less than the chemists
prices that one feels warranted in using it
freely, simply by mixing with one pint of
rectifed spirit two fluid drachms each Of
The oils of bergamot and lemon, one of the
oil OF orange, and half as much of that of
rosemary, together with three quarters of
dram of nerol and four drops each of the
essences of ambergris and musk. If this
is subsequently distilled it makes what
may be called perfect cologne, but it be-
comes exceedingly fine by being kept tight
ly stopped for two or three months, to RI
pen and mellow before use.
