From WASHINGTON.

At recent Cabinet meeting the Secretary
of the Treasury called attention to the fact
that the Dominion of Canada has prohibited
the importation OF American cattle on account
OF apprehensions OF pleuro- pneumonia, and as
the same fear exists among Americans in re-
gard to Canadian cattle, it was agreed that an
order shall be Immediately issued prohibiting
the introduction of Canadian cattle into this
country.

ONLY A LETTER.

Only q letter that came last night,
A dear, little love- bird, winged with white,
That whispered the words in a maiden's ear
Of the sweetest song that maid could hear,
And sang it over and over again..
Aye! the charmed din and the soft refrain.
And the burden was this old, so new,
DO you love me as love your
Only a letter, by Cupid sent,
That maketh the maiden'S heart content,
That bringcth the bushes sweet and shy,
And the tell-tale light to her azure eye!
A missive read in the shadiest nook,
And dcarer far than the choicest book,
Then hid with the precious things and few,
Tied with u band of loves own blue!
Only a letter that came this morn
With the heaviest weight that could be borne,
And yet it seemed to the man in gray
But a tritle light as he passed his way,
A wife is stunned by the sudden blow,
A mothers heart is filled with woe,
For the bird of omen tells a tale
That would make the stoutest spirit quail,
Only letter, thin and white
That has robbed a home Of its Joy and light,
That has hung, by the cruel news it bore,
That funeral Grape on the outer door!
A massive clutched with hopes and fears,
And drenchcd with the mourners' scalding
tears;
Read and reread with lips grown white,
Then laid with shudder out of sight.
0 news of joy! 0 news OF pain!
Ye are mingled here like sun and rain!
And tjoyons hearts in this world below
Must sometimes feel the weight of woe.
Ring on, sweet wedding bells, to-day!
And fresh young hearts be glad and gay,
1t is time enough to think Of ill
When our light is dimmcd by the Father swill,

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE,

Coleman's Raraz advises against set
ting out willows for wind breaks, as the
tree will appropriate all the substance
and moisture for two rods on either side
to themselves.
The English entomologists are quar-
reling over tho potato beetle. Those who
fear and those who do not are taking sides
and writing freshly on the subject, as on
ly few have yet appeared in the country.
Indian corn charred into charcoal is
said to be a most valuable condiment for
poultry. 1t will put the hens in good
health,an cause general tonning up of
the system, that will be seen in more and
better eggs.
Green corn pudding Take a dozen
ears and CRATE them; add teacupful of
milk, a spoonful of butter, a teaspoonfnl
OF salt and some grated nutmeg; mix we'll
together; put in a pan, place in a hot
oven, and bake for an hour.
Light rye tea cakes. --One pint of milk.
two eggs, a tablespoonful of brown sugar
and large pinch Of SALT Add enough
flour to make it as stiff as common Grid
dle-cake batter. Bake half an hour IN a
gem pan. Serve hot or cold as desired
Stuffed Tomatoes.-Cnt in halves and
hollow out in the center; take whatever
cold meat you have, chop with onion,
some herbs, crumbs of bread, and add to
it two yelks OF eggs; fill mp your toma-
toes, and put in a buttered pan; let them
bake slowly.
Rich Pancakcs.-Boil half pound Of
rice to jelly. When cold mix with a
pint OF cream, two eggs, a little salt and
nutmeg. Stir in four ounces of butter
just warmed, and add as much -four as
will make batter thick enough. FRY in
as little lard as possible.
Rice Water for Invalids.-Take four
ounces OF rice and wash carefully in three
waters; IN d skillet put a quart Of water
and boil it; put in the rice and boil I'M
til the rice is in perfect pulp; then
strain carefully, and put on the fire
again, adding white sugar to taste, and a
small piece Of cinnamon, or, if preferred,
little grated nutmeg; skim if necessary,
and strain again; use when cold
Scalloped Mutton. Chop the mutton
rather coarse: put lsyer Of mutton in a
shallow dish; season with salt and pep
per; then two tablespoonful of gravy
and thin layer of bread crumbs; another
layer Of mutton, salt and pepper and
four tabiespoonfuls of gravy. Now put
thick layer OF bread crumvs and
brown IN the oven. It will take about
twenty minutes.
Children must not eat peach kernels
They contain deadly poison called hy-
drocyanic acid, Of which two-thirds of a
grain has often been fatal. Should any
sickness occur from eating peach or other
kernels, says the Christian Union, it is
to remember that ammonia is one of the
best antidotes. The patient should be
made to inhale all he can, and a few
drops, diluted with four or five times the
bulk of water, should be given eternally.

The Ageing Flirt.
London Mayfair.

She was supreme five years ago. But
five years have told upon her complexion
and her beauty, while the young men
who adored her are young men still, and
WOO her little sister, who seems to her
only fit for the governess and the little
children's dinner The retrospect is not
pleasant. She thinks Of the time wasted,
OF honest hearts toyed with, embittered,
rejected. She has seen, one by one, pref
ty girls of not half her beauty or style
reaped and garnered by the proper hus-
bandman And now she stands rejected,
abandoned and in the cold. The retro
spect is not pleasant. But how about
the prospect? It IS sadder still. There
is the gay music, the bright rooms, the
polished floors. Still her name figures
on the invitation cards, though she knows
that she is asked not for her own, but for
her sisters sake. She might, indeed,
give up the game and retire with the
dignity Of years. But the dignity of
years is an indignity for her. She can
not take the hint Of the period or read
the handwriting with which Time auto
graphs her brow. She still haunts the
bright scenes-a sorry sight. Superan-
nuated beaus and timid striplings fall to
her lot It begins to become very dreary.
Still she trips it on a toe which
perhaps never was fantastic,
and has certainly long since ceased
to se light. Whatever may be her
faults, no one can deny that she has cour-
age and perseverance. People would al
most wish that she had neither. For the
world is selfish world, and the people
who give dances like to see fresh faces
and lovely figures iu the ballroom. Here
is the third stage Of the life of the firt.
1t is not a pleasant picture to look at. It
is not-except from the moralizing Gym
les point of view-an agreeable object to
contemplate. Quick! let us dismiss the
company. Let our guests hurry home
The dawn comes breaking through the
windows. The musicians are tired. The
waterman has let his lamps out. The
bright sun is in the heavens. And here
comes the pretty, fresh, young girl, her
face beaming with the roses Of youth
and health, and it may be love, to thank
her kind hostess for a pleasant evening.
The old firt takes charge of the little
creature that London society will soon
turn into young firt. The admiring
beaux escort both down to their carriage
door and the coachman drives home by
the Park. The blackbirds are piping
loudly in Kensington Gardens. The

The day is breaking,
The flowers, waking,
Are whispering fragrant dreams Of love;
While voices vernal,
In hymns eternal,
Break from the fathomless vault above.
Each vanishing hour,
Invisible Power,
Wrestling with death and conquering night,
I see, hear it
The strong life spirit
That wells its presence IN robes OF light.

OUR CHOIR.
BY HENRY T. KING.

BY HENRY 7. KING.
There's Jane Sophia,
And Ann Maria,
With Obadiah,
And Jedekiah,
In our choir
And Jane Sophia soprano sings
So high you'd think her voice had wings
To soar above all earthly things,
When she leads off on Sunday;
While Ann Maria's alto choice
Rings out in such harmonious voice
That sinners in the church rejoice,
And wish she'd sing till Monday.
Then Obadiah's tenor high
Is unsurpassed beneat the sky
Just hear him sing Sweet By and By"
And you will sitin wonder;
While Jedekiah's bass profound
Goes down SO low it jars the ground,
And wakes the echoes miles around,
Like distant rolling thunder.
Take not to one Of PATHS fame,
Or Nicollini's tenor tame,
Or Cary's alto-but name
Or Whitney's pondrous basso!
They sing no more like Jane Sophia,
And Ann Maria, Obadiah,
And Jedekiah, III our choir.
Than cats sing like Tomasso!
