Home Talk.

A good many men and women covet,
and perhaps have the reputation of
being charming conversationalists, p"
who never appear in that role in their
own homes. There their talk is con
lined to humdrum TOPICS. to mere Cos
sip, or to enforcing quiet while they
cultivate their precious intellects, or
settle their nerves to fit them for anna
bility in public. Yet aside from the
pleasure which che erful and worthy
conversation ditfases oyer home circle,
its sdncative force can hardly be over
estimated. The bright and interesting
girls, who surprise and delight you
with their ready fund OF information
quite outside OF the conventional topics,
and the wellposted boys, who know
much more than books could have taught
them, will be found in general to have
father or mother who is wise enough
to visit with them, and who do not
keep their best mental aud social gifts
for outside friends.

stories or Jokes to delight the family

EPHEMERAL LITERARY FAME.-The
death of the veteran George Ripley
forcibly calls to mind the ephemeral
nature of journalism and the sacrifice
of any lasting fame which literary abili-
ty is compelled to make in its pursuit.
The fame of journalists is something
like that of actors, in that it is but for
the day. and has even less of personal
ity since the chief part of what they
write is anonymous. They have to be
content with making history rather
than writing it, with creating public
opinion rather than receiving its re-
wards, and fighting for the honors of
the service rather than personal distinc.
ton. If this does not make kindlier
feeling and heartier tribute among
themselves, when one drops in harness
after long and honorable service, it
should do so.-Proridence Journal.

1t is no mans duty to deny himself
every amusement, every luxury, every
recreation, every comfort, that he may
get rich. 1t is no mans duty to make
an iceberg of himself, to shut his eyes
and ears to the sufferings of his fellows
and deny himself the enjoyment that
results from generous actions, merely
that he may hoard wealth for his heirs
to quarrel about.

Immediately and tie the corks down,
and in three days the ginger beer will

above proportion of sugar may be
found rather toe large, when it may be
diminished, but the beer will not keep
so long good.

A WISE SENTIMENT.-It is possible
to possess an exceedingly depraved
mind with the greatest propriety OF
morals. In what does purity consist ?
Surely in the perfect stainlessness of
the mind and heart; just as the per-
fiction of the lily lies in the transpar-
ent whiteness and infinite delicacy of
its petals. There is fragrant purity
of, the mind that thinketh as we'll as
doeth no evil, which is as lovely as the
transcendent clearness of the lily
leaves. For sin arises in the imagina-
ton and consciousness, though it Gull
inmates ia the deed. The savage of the
Fiji Islands, to whom the idea OF
chastity is unknown, in his ignorance
sins less than the married firts who
play with temptation, and stand on the
verge of danger, calculating how far
they may 60 in the reckless game with
out losing reputation. What is this bu t
conjugal inf1delity on the prevailing
principles, cheap and convenient;
uniting small profits and quick returns
possessing all the privileges with none
of the dangers of true love ?-Home

ONLY ONE.-There was but one crack
in the lantern; and the wind found it

great mischief one urguarded point

leak sank the vessel, and drowned all
on board. One wound may kill the
body, one sin destroy the soul.

To Color IcEs.-For yellow. use
yolks of eggs or bit of saffron stepped
in the liquor and squeezed. The flower
of the crocus is also used; it has no
taste. For white, use almonds finely
pounded, with drop of water; or use
cream. For red, use beet root sliced
and some liquor poured over. For
green, pound spinach leaves or beet
leaves. express the juice. and boil in q
teacup in saucepan of water to take
off the rswness.
WASHING TIES. The best mode of
wash ng gentlemen's neckties is to let
them soak little, then wash with hot

more in cold water, starch, and wiring
them thoroughly; then iron.
Papered walls are cleaned by being
wiped down with q flannel cloth tied

RoYALTY.-The families of Leopold,
of Belgium, and of Victoria, of Eng
land, maintain close friendship. When
visits are not going on there is an in
terchange of little gifts, chiefly biscuits
and game. A few years ago Queen
Victoria, being at Laeken, took fancy
to some very nice biscuits made by the
royal cook. and, as they were not to be
procured anywhere else than at Queen
Marie Henriette's table. her majesty
begged that some might be sent her oc-
casionally. Accordingly, once q fort
night, the Queens messenger, who
travels from England to Berlin with
the private letters of the English court,
stops at Brussels on his way home and
takes box of the famous biscuits, in
return for which the Queen and Prince
of Wales send to Brussels all through
the winter enormous hampers of game
and venison. Scarcely any other game
is eaten by the King except that which
comes from the royal English preserves
for Leopold II. is no sportsman, and

Let Them Alone.

Young girls in nost households, are
too closely watched; they are allowed
no time to think and become acquainted
with the resources of their own r.inds.
From babyhood they are watched,
tended, noticed, guarded, never let
alone. Even young infants are not so
much as permitted to think out the
mysteries of a door-knob, but are tossed
up, their little trains of thought inter-
rupted, their solitude continually in
vaded. Let little girl be left to her.
self hours OF every day, near to loving
friends who have some other occupation
than watching and advising her, and
she will invent boundless resources
and be never SO happy. Solitude is o
necessity to the formation of character.
And yet this is a privilege seldom en-.
joyed by children. If they are not
mingling in the exciting labors or
sports of the crowded schools, they are
playing in the streets, or with their
mates in their own homes; some social
diversion fills up nearly all the leisure
hours of every day; ana when there are
no playmates at hand the mother must
give up her time to their amusement.
Too much company, too much watch
ing, too much effort to direct every
thought and action of the child, too lit
tie opportunity for the development of
its own Observation-Disclosures these
are the reasons for the feebleness of
many characters. Country children
are better off than city children in this
respect. They have much time to
themselves; and while their minds often
lack the alertness that is produced by
the brisk social commerce of the cities,
it is possible that they sometimes gain
in vigor and power of concentration
more than they lose in nimblness and
wit. The fact is that the majority of
the men and women who are at the
head Of affairs in tho nation were trained
in the country, and while their success
is largely due to the fact that they
learned to work in their youth, it is
due in part, no doubt, to the fact that
they had in their younger days q good
deal of time to think Wdcerley Maya.
