To make the hands soft and white,
one of the hest things is to wear at night
large mittens of cloth filled with wet
bran or oatmeal, and tied closely at the
wrist. For the face, oatmeal paste is as
efficaciOus as any thing, though less
agreeable than the paste made of egg,
alum, and rose-water. The alum
astriRees- the flesh and makes it firm,
while the egg keeps it sufficiently soft,
and the rose-water perfumes the mixture
and makes the eurd softer.

WIFE AND MOTHER.

When she came to me first, bride, 81
Clothed I'm whiteness-a lily fair
Yelled and blushing and virgin eyed,
With sweet bride blossoms about her hair
O, her beautiful. soft, blue eyes
Seemed like patches of summer skies
Seensin the depth of n sunlit stream,
Between the lilies that on it CLEAN!
Tn to our home led the way,
Underline low, budding apple tree boughs
In the pale-red light Of the dying day.
&" Love-" she whispered, "if such sweet bliss
Be sin, then death should come after this
" Nayw I whispered her hack; for me
Love is sufficient; let sweet life be-"
So in my home she took her place, rB
Ruling with wise and grave control;
All great hopes throve with wOnd'rous
Thanks to her tender and steadfast soul.
There, In the light of those fervent eyes
(Those beautiful bits of clOudless skies),
With me and my loved one-ssll was well!
Trice did she lay her burden down
At the foot Of the Cross Of WomanhoOd;
Thrice did she dip her martyrs crown
Deep i'm the sacr;imrntal blood.
Fair little children clasprd her breast,
Graded there tl u brief, sweet rest,
Ere turning back to the reckoning hand
Stretched to them from the heavenly land.
Then in the tender and wistful eyes
Gathered u shadow OF silent pain,
Even ~ over our mountain skies
Gathers the mist that turns to rain.
:" Love-" she whispered, it was my sin
Our chilircn's feet cOnid not enter in Z.
Unto our hOmc-so, tn That far away
They call me, dear, and / must obey.
50 Love. oh, love-" she solbcd, mt iiIy knee,
My greatest sin WAS in loving YOU;
Even their dear, dead eyes could see
All the rest Of my life rang true.
All the beauty OF summer hours,
Songs of birds and color III flowers,
AL the fragrance of dusk wood ways,
l wOvc to a selfish hyIHn of praise"
Low on my hands she bowed her head
., the beautiful, long, fair hair,
sweeping over my breast a. she said
Words ton sacred to breathe elsewhere!
Soft on my forehead her last kiss lay,
Sweet were the greetings she babe me say
Words whose purpOrt may not tell.
Save the saddt,St and last. Farewell"
So we found her. in robes Of white,
Yelled and still, like a lily fair;
Her calm face turned to the setting light,
The old bride blossoms about her hair.
Soft on her closed lips the faint light fell,
Sealing up secrets they erst might tell,
shutting the sob i'm yet could hear:
Still am with you and love yOu, dear"

A few DAYS alter the newsnaners Of

A few days after, the newspapers of
ST. recorded that one Of our richest
landed proprietors had blown out his
brains. Some attributed the suicide to
grief at his wife's death; others, who
were better informed, to an incurable
wound. Those who knew best said he
was a monOmaniac, and his wound,
which could not be cured, existed only
in his imagination.-From the Hungarian

CONGRESSIONAL


WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Allison, from the
Committee on Indian Affairs, reported, with
two amendments, the joint resolution that
the Secretary of the Interior be authorized
through a commission of five persons to be
appointed by the President, to negotiate with
the Ute Indians for their removal from Colo
RADIO. Allison stated, that owing to the fact
that the Utes would be in Washington during
the recess, it was important that the resolu-
ton be passed. Cockrill objected to its pres
ent consideration. If there was any resolu-
ton allowing the removal of the Indians to
Indian Territory, he gave notice that there
would be bitter opposition to it. Allison
explained that the committee amendments to
the resolution expressly precludes such a pos
sibility. Cockrill declined to withdraw his
objection, and the resolution went over.
Wallace offered a resolution providing that
the sergeant-at-arms be authorized to employ
three additional messengers, and assign one
each to the Committees on Revolutionary
Claims, Private Land Claims and Engrossed
Bills. Adopted.
Several private pension bills were passed.
1t was resolved that when the Senate adj
iourns to-day it be until Monday.
Plum introduced a bill to amend the revised
statutes relating to taxes upon banks and
bankers It provides that no association shall
be liable to the tax imposed by section 521, as
per STATUTES, upon any SUN uiuc tuc Ildluc
of a deposition, which may be deposited with
any other association, bank or bankers, and
which is subject to taxation with such associ-
atoms. The bill also proposes to exempt
from taxation deposits in savings banks,
and saving fund institutions, except where
any deposit to the credit OF one person, firm
or corporation exceeds $1,000. In such cases
the excess above that amount is to be liable to
tax.
A long discussion took place upon a bill
granting a pension to Commodore Vim. b.
Whiting, totally disabled in the naval service.
Several Senators claimed that as Whiting was
receiving three quarters pay on the retired
list, he was not entitled to pension. A MEM
her of the pension committee, however, held
that the statute provides for pensions in such
cases. On Cockrills suggestion the bill was
allowed to go over until Monday to allow for
examination of the subject.
Cockrill withdrew his objection to the con-
sideration of the joint resolution reported
from the Committee on Indian Affairs, for
negotiations for the removal of the Utes, and
offered an amendment providing that these
Indians shall not be settled in Indian Terri
tory. The resolution thus amended was
adopted.
After a short executive session the Senate
adjourned.

THE wIDDER GREENS LAST WORDS.

ssI'm goin' TO die, . says the Wilder Green,
I'm gwine TO quit this airthly scene,
It amt no place for me to stay
In such a world as it's to-day.
Such works and ways is too much for me.
Nobody can let nobody be
The girls is bouncing from top to toe,
An'thats the hull of what they know.
The men is mad on bonds and stocks,
Swearin' and shootia' and pickin' locks,
I'm real afraid FIJI be hanged myself
If amt laid on my final shelf.
There amt a creature but knows to-day
1 never was a lunatic anyway
But, since crazy folks ali go free,
I'm dreadful feared they'll hang up me.

Without q risin' some feller's fur?
There amt no privacy, so to say,
No more'n if this was the Judgement day.
And as for meetin', l want to swear
When ever / put my head in there.
WHY even Old Hundreds spilled and one
Like everything under the sun,
1t used to be so solemn and slow
Praise to the Lord from men below
Now it goes like a gollop1n' steer,
High diddle, diddle, there and here;
No respect to the Lord above,
No more'n of He was hand and glove
With all the creatures He, ever made,
An all the figs that ever was played,
Preachiu', TOO! but here I'm dumb
But 1 tell you what, I'd like it some
Eff good old Parson Nathan Strong
Out of his grave you'd come along,
An give us q sttrrin' taste o. fire!
Judgment and justice is my desire.
,Taint all love and sickish sweet
That makes this world nor t'other complete.
But law =! I'm old; Id better be dead
When the worlds turnin' over my head
Sperits talkin' like tarnal fools
Bibles kicked out o. deestrict schools;
Crazy creeturs a murderin' round;
Honest folks had better be under ground.

Must no more be pestered by Widder Green"
