within the meat, more or less. In this
way we have principles involved that al.
ways may be applied to all sorts of meat.
Some of the juices will escape even if we
plunge the meat into boiling water and
coagulate the albumen.
Broiling, by burying the meat in hot
ashes, was practiced in early times.
Even now it is favorite way Of cooking
Roasting is the royal way of cooking meat.
1t needs clear, bright fire and frequent
basting. Next to stewing or broiling, it
is the cheapest way of cooking. The
stoves of these modern days have susper-
seeded the open fires of former times, and
so roasting is nearly unknown in private
families. The gradual disuse Of open
fires and open CRATES has substituted bak-
ing for roasting. Baked meat never has
the sweet and delicate flavor of roasted
and so is not so digestible and nutritious.
Frying requires special care in tenn
perature, otherwise the food may be
spoiled. ., -.-..

Now.

Rise for the day is passing; r.
While you lie dreaming on,
The Others have buckled their armor
And forth to the fight are gone;
A place in the ranks awaits you,
Each man has some part to play;
The past and the future are nothing
In the face of the stern to-day.
Rise from your dreams of the future,
OF gaining some hard-fought field,
OF storming some airy fortress
Or bidding some giant yield;
Your future has deeds of glory,
OF honor God grant it mayD
But your arm will never be stronger
Or the need so great as to-day.
Rise! if the past detains you,
Her sunshine and storms forget;
No chains so unworthy to hold you
As those of vain regret;
Sad or bright, she is lifeless ever,
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back; strive to learn the lesson
VI a nobler strife to-day.
Rise! for the day is passing!
The low sound that you scarcely hear
Is the enemy marching to battle
Arise! for the foe is here.
Stay not to sharpen your weapons,
Or the hour will strike you at last
When from dreams of coming battle
You may wake to find it past!

which his business was built. He prac.
ticed rigid economy, never allowing him
self to spend fourpence upon an un
necessary object until he earned it. Dur
ing his first seven years in the city, he
never let bill stand against him over
the Sabbath. If the purchase had been
made at auction on Saturday, he always
examined and settled the bill by note, or
by crediting it, so that in case he was not
on duty on Monday, there would be no
trouble for the clerks; thus keeping bust
ness before him, instead Of allowing it to
drive him. At the close of seven wears
he was worth fifty thousand dollars.
On his first coming to the city, he took
lodgings with widow, who had Just
opened boarding house. Amos asked
for one rule to be made for the boarders,
and that was, that the boarders in the
public sitting room might keep quiet for
one hour after supper, in order to give
those who wished 1t, an opportunity for
study or reading. THE consequence
was," said he in after years, ''that we
had the most quiet and i'm approving set of
men in town. The few who did not wish
to comply with the regulation. went
abroad after tea, sometimes to the theatre,
sometimes to other places, but to man,

in fortune but in reputation; while the
majority of the other clerks sustained a

constant struggle to make both ends meet.

to look at in that light. It hardly seems
right to see hundreds of hard working
women literally suffering from the lack of
patronage, while that same patronage is
being lavished upon some merchant

and lucrative.

Last Days.

The long brown beech lies sleeping in the sun,
The hot white noon leans idly to the bay;
CLOUDS upon folded clouds, above my head,
Opens to the blossoms Of the perfect day.
There is color like living soul
Upon the half-revealed but half yelled sky:
Glad to sad eyes, reclines the flushed, fun
tide,
Celestial body that shall never die.
MY prayers look out like orphans through
their tears;
NY heart cries out, 0 lite! 0 life! for thee.
But One across the waters draweth nigh.
Too kind and so too dumb to answer me.

gled with silver, which they esteemed
not only for their beauty, but for some
mysterious charm they were thought to
possess.
When Napoleon went to battle, he
wore shirt woven of amianthus, which
was easily cleansed by throwing it into the
fire. In France and Bohemia firemen s
clothes and gloves for handling hot iron
were made from it. The Russians have
also attempted the manufacture of in
combustiable paper. At one time it was
hoped that an important branch of in
dusrry might be established for the man
ufacture of this delicate and useful fabric :
but the rarity of amianthus and the diff :
Guilty OF carrying it into durable thread,
IN consequence of its brittleness, have
caused them now to be regarded only as
curiosities.
Asbestos, besides being of coarser
texture than amianthus, differs from it in
colcr; the latter is creamy white, while
the former is brown, green, and grayish
white. It sometimes occurs in thin in
terlaced sheets between the cracks and
assures of rocks, and feels something like
kid; 1t is then known as mountain leath-
er; when in thicker masses, it is called
mountain cork, referring to its elasticity
1t is also found very hard and compact,
and then receives the name of ligniform
asbestos, from its resemblance to perri6ed
wood. -
Asbestos is found in many parts of
Europe and various localities in the
Uninted States-Staren Island, N. Y,
especially yielding Lar ge quantities. 1t
Is now mined and transported to factories,
where it is assorted, cleaned and prepared
for the various purposes for which it is
used.
1t is made into paints OF different
colors, which are used to protect surfaces
exposed to heat or water. Steam-pipes
and boilers are covered with some prepa-
ration of it that prevents the escape Of
steam; it is also very valuable as packing
IN the JOINTS of machinery, and is extern
slvely used in the manufacture of fire.
proof roofing and flooring.
Chemists find it very useful as a
medium for straining acids, which do
not effect this substance.
Asbestos steps aside from its useful
career to surprise US by its appearance in
one of the precious stones. The peculiar
floating light in the gem known as cat
eye is due to filaments Of asbestos passing
through greenish-gray chalcedony. In
the East it is much worn as an amulet,
because it is imagined to have the power
OF enriching the wearer.
This is a slight illustration of the
manner in which the apparently useless
objects in nature may become of service

While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again fire of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,

The Village StOrk,
BAYARD TAYLOR's LAST POEM.

The old Hyrcaaian Forest sent nrgr
His weather on the plain; @a 4#
Wahlwnkeps orchards writhed and bent
In wnirls of wind and rain. #
Within her nest upon the roof,
For generations tempest-prOOf,
Wahlwnkers stork with her young ones lay,
When the hand of the hurricane tore away
The house and the home that held them.
The storm passed by; the happy trees
Stood mp and kissed the sun;
And from the birds new melodies
Came tiuting one by one.
The stork, upon the paths below,
Went sadly pacing to and fro,
With dropping plumes and head depressed,
For the thought Of the spoiled ancestral nest
And the old inherited honor.
"Behold her nowr' the throstle sang
From out the linden tree;
"Who knows from what q line she sprang,
Beyond the unknown sea?'
III she could sing, perchance her tale
Might move u.s." chirruped the nightingale.
"Sing? She can only rattle and creak!''
Whstled the bulltinch. with silver beak,
Within the wires of his prison.
And MI birds there, or loud or low,
We're one in scott and scorn;
But still the stork paced to and fro,
As utterly forlorn;
Then suddenly in turn of eye,
He saw poet passing by,
And the thought in his brain was an arrow of
fire,
That pierced her with passion and pride and
And gave her a voice to answer.
She raised aer head and shook her wings,
And faced the piping crowd.
"Best service,' are said, "never sings.
True honor is not loud.
Ny kindred carol not, nor boast.
Yet we are loved and welcomed most,
And. our ancient race is dearest and first,
And the hand that hurts us is held accused
In every home Of Wahlwinkel!
"Beneath sky forever fair,
And with a summer sod,
The lard come from smiles-ard there
My brother was god!
Ny nest upon temple stands
And sees the shine of desert lands;
And the palm and the tamarsk cool my wings.
When the blazing beam of the MONDAY stings,
And drink from the holy river!
"There am sacred, even as here;
Yet dare not be lost,
When meads are bright, hearts full Of cheer,
At blithesome Penteccst.
Then from mine obelisk depart,
Guided by something in my heart,
And sweep in a line over Libyan sands
To the blossoming olives of Grecian lands,
And rest on the Cretan Ida!
"Parnassus sees me as sail;
cross the Adrian brine;
The distant SUBMITS fade and fall,
Dalmatian, Appenine:
The Alpine SHOWS beneath me CLEAN.
see the yellow Danube stream!
But l hasten on until see my spent wings fall
Where bring blessing to each and ali,
And babes to the wives of Wahlwinkel!"
She dropped her head and spake no more;
The birds on either hand,
Sang louder, lustier than before
They could not understand.
Thus unused the stork, with snap of beak:
'Better be silent than to speak!
Highest beings can never be taught;
They have their voices, my thought;
And they were never in Egypt!'

Enquirer The Congress is in extra
session, not by the fault of the Dem
ocratic party, but by the determine.
ton of the Republican party to pre-.
vent the repeal of certain obnoxious
and outrageous laws. 1t is proposed
in some quarters that the Democracy
in Congress, having both branches
shall surrender what the Democracy
would not surrencer in the last Con
gress, when it had but one branch.
If that course is to be pursued, what
is the need Of getting more than one
branch of Congress? What, indeed,
is the necessity Of getting either
branch?
