TO Sweep and Dust.

Sweeping and busting is, in the opin-
ion of the alliance, an art, and has u
right method which is rs follows:
Are there closets opening into the
room to be swept? Arrange the shelves,
sweeping day; then let these be the first
to be swept.
Cover the bed with soiled sheets, as
also all heavy articles that cannot be
removed; first, however, having care
fully busted aud brushed them.
Il move all the furniture that can
easily be set in the hall or adjoining
room, having first busted it; then, tax.
ing step-ladder, begin to sweep or
brush or wipe the picture-cords and
pictures.
Draw the shades to the top of the
window, or, if there are inside blinds,
dust them carefully. Open tie win
dows.
All the dust left in the room now is
in the carpet or air, and the current Of
the windows will soon settle it.
Now begin to sweep, not toward a
floor or corner, but from the outer
edges of the room toward the centre,
where the dust will be taken up with q
small brush and dust-pan.
Go over the room once more, this
time with dampened broom that re-
moves the last bit of dust, and gives
the carpet a new. bright appearance.
Replace tho articles of furniture as
soon AS the air is entirely free from
dust, uncover the rest, and the room is
new and clean.
All this seems an easy thing to do.
but there is not one in hundred who
will follow out the detail.
Some will sweep the dust into the
hall or from one room to another, and
then wonder why their house is so soon
dusty again.
Others forget cornioe and pictures,
and thus leave seed for future annoy
ance; while third class will do all but
using the damp broom, which is as the
finishing touches to picture.

The First Prayer in Congress.

In 1Hatcher's Nit,tnry Journal, under
date of December, 1777, is found a note
containing the identical " first prayer
in Congress-" made by the Rev. Jacob
Duche, q gentleman of great eloquence.
Here it is--an historical curiosity:

and mighty King of kings, and Lord OF
lords, who dost from Thy throne be-
hold all the jewellers of the earth, aud
reignest with power supreme and un-
controlled over all the Kingdoms, en-
pires and governments, look down in
mercy, we beseech Thee, on these
American States, who have fled to Thee
from the rod OF the oppressor, and
thrown themselves on Thy gracious
protection, desiring to be henceforth
dependent only on Thee. To Thee
they have appealed for the righteous
ness of their cause; to Thee do they
now look up for that countenance and
support which Thou alone canst give.
Take them, therefore. Heavenly Father.
unto Thy nurturing care. Give them
wisdom in council and valor in the field.

poses, oh! let the Voice OF Thine own
unerring justice, sounding in their
hearts, constrain them to drop the
weapons of war from their unnerved
hands in the day of battle. BE Thou
present, o God of wisdom, and direct
the councils of this honorable assembly.
Enable them to settle things on the best
and surest foundation, that the scenes
of blood may be speedily closed, and
order harmony and peace may be effect

religion and piety prevail and flourish
amongst Thy people. Preserve the
health of their bodies and the vigor of
their minds; shower down upon them
and the millions they here represent
such tempered blessings rs Thou seest
expedient for them in this world, and
crown them with everlasting glory in
the world to come. All this we ask, in
the name and through the merits of
Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Savior.

A STROKE OF GENIUs.-A storyi is
told in connection with the famous
barker, Chllds, the history of whose
firm was so closely associated with the
late Temple Bar, of London. 1t was
in the last century, before the days OF
telegraphs and fast trains, that the
Earl of Westmoreland fell in love with
old Childs's daughter.
Suppose you were in love with a
girl, Mr.. Childs," said his lordship. in
an easy tone ut the dinner table, and
her father was not likely to be brought
to terms, what would you do ?"
Why, run away with her, OF
course"
Tie earl did this with Miss Sarah
Anne Guilds that very night. Childs
holly pursued, and Lord Westmore-
land, finding him close behind, stood
up in the postchaise and shot the lead
ing horse in Childs's team, causing a
spill, and enabling him to reach Gretr q
Green AMI have the ceremony per
formed before the incensed father con d
come up.

ROAST GOOSE OR DUCK.-Boiling
water should be poured all over and in
side Of goose or duck before you pro-
pare it for cooking, to take ont the
strong oily taste. Let the fowl be
picked clean and wiped dry with cloth
inside and out; fill the body and crop
with stuffing; if you prefer not to stuff
it, put an onion inside; put it down
before the fire or in the oven and roast
it brown. 1t will take about two hours
and half. The oil that drips from it
should nearly all be turned off, or it
will be too greasy.
Prepare a turkey in the same way,
only it should be roasted by mod
crate fire at least three hours. Serve
with cranberry or apple sauce.

To the Standard Soap Co.-Gentlemen:
It affords me pleasure to say to
the public that have used and pre-
scribed your PHOSPHATE SOAP
as q remedy in various forms Of
cutaneous diseases with the hap
piest results. I am of the opinion
that it is the mildest and most per-
feet detergent that can be used,
either for cleansing the skin and
leaving it soft and healthy, or for
removing the fetor and corroding
influences Of sores and alterations.
I should be sorry to be without it
in shaving my face or making my
toilet, to say nothing Of my good
opinion of its remedial qualities.

PH0SeGSHAFPE

THE BEST soap for toilet use
ever manufactured. BEST because
it contains all the eXcellencies of
the most expensive foreign or
American soaps without their de-
fects. BEST because it combines
strength with delicacy in such q
wav TIT its strong defensive quail
ties do not injure the skin. BEST
because it is the result of years of
study and experiment in the soap
manufacturing business, assisted
by modern chemical discoveries.
BEST because it contains ingred1-
ents beneficial 20 the skin, which
unite chemically with the soap
in such q manner as to increase
its saponaceous qualities. Every
chemist familiar with soap manu-
facture knows that some ingred1-
ents which are in themselves bene-
fetal to the skin cannot be saponl-
fed some are partially neutralized.
while others injure the quality or
the soap. There are soaps In the
market which are to some extent
beneficial to the skin, but they are
inferior articles for toilet use:
PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY
article offered to the public which
combines all the best clements or
toilet soap with medical ingredi.
ents beneficial to the skin.

How to Prevent smut in syhea,


About two years ago we published
a receipt by which smut could be pre-.
vented i'll wheat. Some of the far.
mers followed it, and the consequence
was that they raised clean wheat.
Smutty seed produces. smutty grain,
and also seed that has bt en- with smut.
The receipt is: Dissolve two pounds
of blue vitriol in as much water as
will cover ten bushels of wheat. The
seed should be kept in the solution for
at least twenty-four hours-two or
three days will not damageit-stirring
three or four times. When you are
ready to seed be sure not to put it
into sacks that have had smutty
wheat in them. All who follow our
directions strictly need have no fears
of smut.
