THE. VALLEY OF THE SHADOW
DEATH" i

DEDICATED TO THE FRIENDS OF THE LATE T. n, #
For The Chicu1o Tribune.
Tho Wiley Of the shadow: nhl how deeD.
How cold, that shadow seems to u.s. who weep
Above each new-n made grnve that shuts away
From touch and kiss the idols of cur day!
As up that dinuing valley. one By one,
They pnss1with nOisecss steps, We call: but nope
Look back. No answer falls upon our ears
save the slow dropping of the silent years.
Yet. In that long, long silence, who shall say
tod makes not answer III the wisest way2
The spirits lonely dreams build thoughts that
rise.
Like Jacobs ladder, up to Paradise.
Mark thou. Not in the rayless dark of Night
10 earthly shadows full; but, ms the light
More dazzling grows, deeper aud broader they
Stretch at cur feet, these phautoms Of the Day.
{, loved ones whom we miss, ana, missing, love!
uhc radiance OF your happy life above
Makes darkness here bclowl And so we tread
Within the shadows OF our sunlit dead.
9 valley! shall we fear the path they trpd
" Nho walked with us erstwhi1e, ,,s now with God?
Nay, rather should We smile with Earth's last
BREATH
To pass through the shadow to the light of Death!
MIRIAM BEATRICE DEANE.

Too much TO do, besides its direct effect on
the busy worker exposes him to certain in
conveniences apt to escape the notice of 9TH
ers One of these is the effect produced on
his memory. One who leads q rushing life
who has TO hurry from one thing to another
without "a moments interval, cannot have a
vivid remembrance of many things that hap
pen in his experience. He is necessarily liza
ble to forget, in way that another cannot
understand Many busy physician has
found himself at times in serious trouble
from this cause. He has made promise to
patient, but before the promise had har-
dened in his memory some exciting case has
hurried him away, obliterated the impression
and the promise has been forgotten. Au-
thors' memories have been knO wn from a sim
liar cause to play them strange tricks. We
know an author who was engaged in writing
book amid many other absorbing Occupa-
tions For some weeks the book had to be
laid aside. When leisure came lie resumed
it, as he thought, at the point where he had
broken it off, and got through a considerable
chapter when to his mingled amazement and
amusement, he found in his drawer another
manuscript, almost precisely similar, the ex-
istence of which he had quite forgotten. So
strange and incredible are these tricks of
memory, that sometimes the most honest of
men, if examined in q court of Justice, would
hardly be believed The non nj ricOFdO
would hardly be accepted by those who have
had little experience of the difficulty of car
rying in the memory impressions which have
not had time TO photograph themselves on its
tablets, or have been blurred by other i'm
pressions following too quickly.-HdcmH-

The care of clothing to be easy must be
habitual. The hardest part is in forming the
habit, and this cannot too early in life be
formed Most children love to make mud
pies and play in the dirt generally, and give
little heed to keeping themselves clean. This
is all well enough at times, and they should
be INDUCED in their mud pies provided they
are dressed for the work. But il is poor
folksy" in the last degree to allow a child to
play in the dirt with nice clothes on, or permit
young person to dress inappropriately while
at work. 1t is vastly easier to change good
coat for poor one than it is to restore TO its
pristine condition a soled coat. 1t is vastly
easier to put on pair of overals than il is to
sponge thoroughly pair of pantaloons. But
the worst of it is that those who neglect to
change the coat and put on the overalls, neg
lect, also, the sponging and cleansing process
es, and let dust gather and spots remain.
A clothes-brush, wisp broom, bottle of
ammonia, asonge, q hand brush, a cake Of
erasive soap, a vial of alcohol, should form q
part of the furnishing of every toilet. After
all dust has been removed from clothing
spots may be taken out of black cloth with
the hand brush dipped in mixture of equal
parts of ammonia, alcohol and water This
will brighten and cleanse. Benzine is useful
in removing grease spots. Spots Of grease
may be removed from colored silks by put
tlnB on them raw btarcn mhue lntO paste
with water. Dust is best removed from silk
by a soft flannel, from velvet with brush
made especially for the purpose. If hats and
bonuets when taken from the head are brush
ed aud put away in boxes and covered up, in
stead of being laid down anywhere, they
will last fresh long time. Shawls, and all
articles that may be folded, should be folded
when taken from the person in their original
creases, and laid away. Cloaks should be
hung up in place, gloves pulled out length
wise, wrapped in tissue paper and laid away,
laces smoothed out nicely and folded, if req
uisite, so that they will come out of the box
new and fresh when needed again. A strip
of old black broadcloth four or five inches
vide, rolled up tightly and sewed to keep the
roll in its place, is better than sponge or
cloth for cleansing black and dark colored
clothes. Whatever lint comes from it in rub
bing is black and does not show. When
black clothes are washed, as they may often
be previous to making over, fresh clean water
should be used and they should be pressed
on the wrong side before being quite dry.
If washed in water previously used for white
clothing they will be covered with lint In
securing clothing against moths, if linen is
used for wrappings no moth will molest.
Paper bags are equally good if they are per-
fectly tight, and so are trunks and boxes
closed so tightly that no crevice is left open
for the entrance of the moth fly. As the
moth loves darkness, it will not molest even
furs hung up in light rooms open to the air
and sunshine. ". Y. Tribune.
