HOUSEKEEPING A Business. house
keeping is carried on as business, it becomes
reality. Half the homes are wanting in
attraction because the work that makes them
beautiful is considered a drudgery. When
business man proves himself successful, the
supposition is that he has known more or less
drudgery in: attaining prosperous position.
A little humiliation, rightly used, and we
are elevated. Having in charge a home,
let it be 9 business to make it success.
Whether rich or poor, the call is the same.
Make the best of opportunities. Begin BY
mastering each department; if you stoop'
stoop to conquer. Take as much delight in
your calling as your husband or brothers
take in theirs. sa 5a
By first learning to do everything well
afterwards by constant repetition, you may
learn to do it easily. Rise with the glad sum
light, let its rays linger in your face, and
keep away all clouds BY industry. Make up
your mind thoroughly that you will gain as
much real pleasure out of your housekeeping,
as any man can draw, from his business.
Learn to do and bear many things for the
final result-a model home. Show deep
interest and then you will grow to love your
work. Housekeeping can be sunk to the
lowest plane, or raised to heights unknown.
Into your hands is given this great creative
power. As you aim, so you will mount, and
if it is your good pleasure to aspire to lofty
degrees Of attainment, no one can doubt
that if your heart is in your work, you will
succeed. Housekeeper. H's

The FIRST WEDD1Na.-We like the short
courtships. and in this Adam acted like SEN
sible man-fell asleep bachelor, and awoke
to find himself'a a married man. BE appears
to have popped the question almost immedi-
ately after meeting Miss Eve, and she, without
Irritation or shyness, gave him kiss and her
self Of that first kiss in the world we have
had our own thoughts, however, and some
times in poetical mood wished we were the
man that did it. But the deed is done, the
chance was Adams, and he improved it. We
like the notion Of getting married in a gar.
den. Adams was private. No envious aunts
and grunting grandmothers. The birds Of
the heavens were the minstrels, and the glad
sky flung its light on the scene. One thing
about the first wedding brings queer things to
us in spite Of its Scriptural truth. Adam and
his wife were rather young to marry; some
two or three days old, according to the sagest
elder; without experience, without house.
without pot or kettle nothing but love and
Eden.

choice-especially on his fathers part; Of
the hundred and one pleasant things said and
done by everybody to demonstrate the uni
versal contentment and conviction that every
thing had turned out exactly as it should.
But not all this will recount; nor yet the
circumstances attendant upon the marriage of
Mildred and Frank, which took place with
great sclat at Mr.. Crofton's house; prefering
to leave them to the Imagination Of the read

Of Joshua 1 will briefly say that he was
dealt with by the law, yet not so severely as
he deserved; this last fact being in part the
result of the generous intercession Of the one
he had chiefly injured, who, in her own hap
piness, could not bear to think Of even her
worst enemy as hardly used. His worst pun
ishment, during the term he served out III
prison, was probably the chagrin he felt at
the Illustration of his plans, and the impotent
envy at the good fortunes Of his adversaries,

have said that Mildred was most entitled
to the heroine's place in this history. But we
must not withhold the just need Of praise
from an humber heroine, who, according to
her lights, certainly acted staunch and cour-
ageous part. Though in mortal fear Of detec-
ton, she held ON persistently to the possession
which she believed would ultimately secure
another's rights, and she has her reward-the
reward of an honored position in the house
hold she has helped to establish, where she is
treated with universal Difference and esteem.
1t is great change from her former servile
life, and in her new and enlarged sphere, her
mind also has frightened and enlarged in
manner wonderful to behold. There is re-
port current in the county that she is to mar
ry Sir Roxwell, (who lives, by earnest request,
at Atherton,) one of these days. But it was
probably started by way Of joke, as there is
no earthly likelihood of such a consummation
ever taking place.
On her workable stands continually a lit
tie rosewood work-box, much the worse for
wear. But its silk lining and its false bottom
still rem in, and as she takes great pleasure
in showing every one this last ingenious con.
trivance, and explaining the use to which it
WAS put. there is not soul in the county, far
or near, who has not by this time, learned the
history of "Miss Carey's Box"

CURE FOR DYsPEPsIA.-Milk and lime
water are now frequently prescribed BY ply.
sicians in cases of dyspepsia and weakness Of
the stomach, and in some cases are said to
prove beneficial. Many persons who think
good bread and milk great luxury, frequent
ly hesitate to eat it, for the reason that milk
will not digest readily; sourness Of the stom-
ach will often follow. But experience proves
that lime-water and milk are not only food
and medicine at an early period in life, but
also, at later, when, as in the case of infants,
the functions Of digestion and assimilation
have been seriously impaired. A stomach
taxed by gluttony, irritated by improper food,
inAamed by alcohol, enfeebled by disease, or
otherwise untitled for its duties-as is shown
by the various symptoms attendant upon iDdi-
gestion, dyspepsia, diarrhea, dysentery and
fever-will resume its work, and do it ener-
getically, on an exclusive diet of bread and
milk and lime-water. stW 4Esas
A goblet of cows milk may have four ta-
blespoonfuls of lime-watsr added to it with
good effect. The way to make imewater is
simply to procure few Jumps Of unslaked
lime, put the lime in stone jar, add water
until the lime is slaked and of about the con-
sistency of thin cream; the lime settles leav-
ing the pure and clear hme-water at the top.
Great care should be taken not to get the lime
water too strong. Keep to the direction as to
the consistency, and when the water rises pour
it off without obtaining any of the lime.
The lime.water is also very good to apply to
burns and scalds. In stalking the lime, par.
ticular care should be taken that none of the
particles fly into the eyes.-Auburn Nssus.

MEERscHAuM.-Of those who indulge in
the delights cf meerschaum pipe, few, per.
haps, know what meerschaum is, or where it
comes from. The word "meerschaum," liter
ally translated, means "sea foam," and the
substance which this word represents received
its name from its resemblance to the froth of
the sea. Meerschaum is mineral substance
which, in chemical parlance, is called hy-
drous silicate of magnesis, that is to say, q
mixture consisting Of magnesia, silicon and
water. This mineral is found in Moravia, in
Spain, and in Asia Minor. The best comes
from the latter country, from the mines near
Eskischehr, on the Pursack river. These
mines, it may be remarked, are worked chiefly
by Armenian Christians, and have world
wide reputation in commerce. Large quaint.
ties of this Asian meerschaum are yearly i'm
ported into Europe, to be manufactured into
pipes. The pipe manufacture is principally
carried on in the city of Vienna, in Austria,
and in lauhla, in the Duchy Of Saxe-C Coburg-
Gotha. So vast is the quantity of pipes man.
ufactured at these places, that their CONNER.
cial value may safely be estimated at $1,000
600 year. Large quantities of them, how
ever, are carved from artificial, and not from
genuine material. The artificial material is
composed of the waste from the carvings of
the genuine article, to which linseed oil and
alum are added. These ingredients are boiled
together, and when the mixture has acquired
the proper consistence and cohesiveness, it is
cast into molds and carefully dried. The
blocks thus formed are then carved into pipes,
just as the pure meerschaum pipes are carved.
The demand for meerschaum pipes is so great,
and the manufacture from artificial material
so profitable, that scarcely half the number
offered for sale are made from the genuine
meerschaum.-AlbanyA argus.

BOYS AND PIsToLs-"I never could un.
derstand," the Deacon said, "why a boy
should carry pistol. A pistol is very Pc
culiar fre-arm it is made for very pecu.
liar purpose. 1t is quite natural for some
boys to want rifles or shot-guns, with which
they may kill game but pistol is intended
to kill human beings, and this is about all
it is good for. There are veryffe few boys IN
this country who could shoot a bird orGa rab'
bit with pistol, and any one who should 60
out hunting with pistol, would be laughed
at. This being the case, why should boy
want pistoli" What human beings would
he like to kill ~
"It is useless to say that he may need his
pistol for purpose of defense. Not one boy
in a thousand is ever placed in such position
that he need defend himself with pistol.
BUTT often has happened that boys who car.
ried loaded pistols thought that it would be
manly thing, under certain circumstances,
to use them, and yet, when the time came
and they killed somebody, they only brought
down misery on themselves and their families.
And this, too, in many q case where, it no
one present had had pistol, the affair would
have passed off harmlessly, and been soon
forgotten. a.s -
"But the way in which boys generally
take human life with pistols, is some accident,
al way. They do not kill highwaymen and
robbers, but they kill their schoolmates, or
their brothers, or their sisters, or in many
cases, themselves. There is no school where
boys are taught to properly handle and carry
a loaded pistol; SO they usually have to learn
these things by long practice. And, while
they are learning, it is very likely that some
one will be shot saw in a newspaper, not
long ago, accounts of three fatal accidents, all
of which happened on the same day, from
careless use Of firearms. And one Of these
dreadful mishaps was occasioned by lad
who carried loaded pistol in his overcoat
pocket, and who carelessly threw down the
coat
"And then, again, boy ought to be
ashamed to carry pistol, especially a loaded
one. The possession of such thing is a
proof that he expects to 60 among vicious
people. If he goes into good society. and
has honest, manly fellows for his companions,
he will not need pistol. A loaded pistol
in boys pocket is not only useless and
dangerous, but also it almost always stamps
him as bad boy, or one who wishes to as.
sociate with bad boys and vicious men,"

KEEP Your SECRETS. The whole world
is full of people craving for confidence
people to whom q secret is like gold in
child's pocket burning to be issued. Those
who are high in rank and blessed with every
advantage, are often tormented for want of "a
true friend = meaning thereby some one to
whom they can con6de secrets. And on
those who will simply take them and keep
them, they are willing to bestow friendship.
To those who would be such con6dants it is
enough that they follow the advice already
given Of never being directly or indirectly
the means Of disseminating gossip of any
kind Id -. m.

what to avoid saying-Noristoun Herald.
