To Make Alum CRYSTALS.

From a basket or vase of bonnet
wire, any fanciful shape. Wrap the
wire neatly but not closely with
white yarn, otherwise no crystals
will adhere TO the wire. Suspend the
wire basket in a wood vessel suffi-
GENTLY large not to touch the article
of the crystalyzed anywhere at all.
Dissolve alum to every quart of rain
water, one pound. Have sufficient
quantity to cover the basket entire
ly. Make it scalding hot in a brass
kettle, and then pour it over the
wire basket suspended in wooden
vessel. Be careful not TO shake or
move it,and let it stand over night.
Examine il in the morning and you
will find a beautiful c~rystalized bas-
ket. Cold frosty weather is the best
time to crystalize. You eau crys-
talize grasses in the same way by
adding a little Anilyne dye of any
shade it will color the crystals; so,
by using different colors, you can
have a boquet of any colors.-

While Nebraska is not a M

While Nebraska is not a mother
of Presidents, she is the mother of
some shrewd and enterprising girls.
They live over on the South Platte.
They have banded themselves to-
gether under the name Of "The
Cooking Club" and once in two
weeks they meet at some stated
place, and each brings with her
some dish compounded and prepar-
by her own delicate hands, and for
which nature has only furnished the
raw material and heat. Then in the
evening a number of eligible young
gentlemen r invited to partake of
the viands, and on the long cstab-
lished principle that a mans heart
is best won by the way of the stom-
ach, there are doubtless many happy
matches likely TO result. All other
things being equal, the best cook of
the club ought 10 secure the best
nan in the LOT. A hint to Sidney
girls.-SidRey PldiRdedler.

Diamonds Uuearthed.

Pity lives on the next floor below
love.
There are battles which are fought
better without allies.
There are many sorts of crooked
lines, but there is only one which is
straight.
The very exertions by which we
seek to hide mental pre-occupation
generally reveal it.
Men, being cyclists, suffer a wo-
mans love for themselves to hide
a multitude of sins.
There are states of mind not fa-
vorable 10 any but the most private
Gevoiions.
With most people there is a mor
secret self, kept secret from them
selves.
Emotions and resolutions that are
al high tide i'm the evening often ebb
before morning.
When you have nothing to say.
say nothing. A week defence
strengthens your opponent, and ST.
lence is less injurious than a bad
reply.
How little does one know Of the
real nature of the struggle between
God and the devil, in the heart of
another.
Make but few explanations char.
acter that can not otherwise defend
itself is not worth vindicating.
Never accept of favors or hospi-
~talities without rendering an ex-
change of civilities when opportuni-
ty offers.
We love our friends all the time
when we are so AFFORDED in work
ing for them that we seldom think
of them, as well as when telling
them of u regards.
How beautiful is youth! A little
mOonshine, a few musical water
drops, the strain Of a song, and the
young heart experiences poetry as il

THE DEPARTED.
BY MRS. MARY II. FINCH.

Sadly aud solemn we speak of the dead,
flushed is each whisper, lightly we tread
Fondly we smooth the narrow green bed,
Place marble and oyer their
head.
Where winds come and 20,
With wild sob or low,
And stilled is the flow
OF life's b~road'ning and dark roaring
river.
Oh, lend ne the eyes of sages and seers;
Visions exalted 10 see thrO' our tears,
Through gathering ages and fieet-footed
wears.
And mour not our loved when the pale
guest appears,
But lay them to sleep,
Where falling dews weep
And wild roses keep
Their fragrance above them forever.
The awakening shall be on a s~hadowless
shore,
Where storms enter not. nor grief troub-
De more,
Where angels of love their healing balms
pour.
And golden beams food the wide-stand-
ing door.
Through the rift in the wall
Comes the light on the pall,-
Gods welcome for all.
TIE the joys on that summer lands NORM

while the latter will be taken up the
river and be rebuilt and converted
into an almost new steamer.
Steamboatmen at New Orleans and
other ports have been greatly annoyed
by men going before the United States
Courts and preferring false charges
against them. In many instances men
are used as witnesses who perjure
themselves. The boatmen are tired Of
this kind of business, and they intend
to employ able counsel TO prosecute all
such characters hereafter, who prefer
false charges or appear as false wit
