Walls and Ceilings.

In many rural homes ceilings are
freshened and walls newly papered
by the men and women of the house,
hold. To this class few suggestions
relative to whitewashing and paper
hanging will perhaps DO welcome at
this time.
In order to do satisfactory white
washing or calcimining two things are
imperative, a good brush and a good
wash. These being supplied make
ready suitable scaffold, where the
walls are too high to reach the ceiling
with a long-handled brush. Dip the
brush into the wash about half the
length of the bristles, and brush as
much of the ceiling only as that
amount of wash will cover, wetting it
thoroughly. Then finish by passing
the brush once over the strip Just put
on, and Immediately dip and repeat the
process upon an adjoining portion
Of the ceiling. Avoid dry jennings.
One coat, unless the ceiling has become
much discolored, is usually sufficient to
whiten an old wall.
Calcimine. being in many way supe-
rior to ordinary whitewash. aud cost
ing but tribe more, is now generally
applied indoors, and is especially
adapted TO diminished walls. To
prepare calcimine dissolve fifteen
pounds of best whiting or French calci-
mine in sufficient amount of cold
water to render the mixture the con-
sistency of rich milk; to this add one
pound of fine white glue previously
dissolved in water. One half ounce of
ultra-marine blue added to the above
gives a clearer white. When it is de-
sired to color the calcimine the color
ing material must be put in before the
glue-water is added. The tints will APP
pear brighter upon the walls than in
the calcimine pot. q fact to be borne in
mind when adding the coloring pow
doris. A gray is produced by adding
raw lumber with trihing amount Of
lampblack. A small quantity of Prus-
sian blue will give soft azure Tint.
Straw color is gained by adding
chrome-yellow with touch of Spanish
brown. While delicate tints are pre-
ferabie to glazing white walls, vivid
colors are by all means to be avoided.
Clear white calcimine for the ceiling
and paper-hangings for the walls is the
ESSf0SU AuAO AOA uVuuOo WAOAO q
fessionar s services are not employed, for
if the tints of walls and ceiling do not har-
monte the effect is far from pleasing.
Previous to hanging the paper have the
wall thoroughly cleaned, the old paper
or whitewash scraped of, and all
cracks filed with plaster of Paris.
When the walls to be papered have
been whitewashed apply with brush
sizing made by adding eight ounces of
dissolved glue in pailful Of hot water.
A good paste for paper-hanging may
be made BY beating to stiff batter,
with clear cold water, four pounds Of
flour. Then pour boiling water slowly
upon this batter, stirring briskly all the
while, until it becomes . fine smooth
paste. The quantity given will be
enough for q room that will require
eight to nine rolls of paper to cover its
walls. IN. y World.

THE DEAD CHILD AND THE MOCK.
ING BIRD.


THE following poem is in no sense more
fancy. On the contrary, the strange, pathetic
lnciuent 1t commem orates actually occurred
!.M long ago, in the neighborhood of Jackson
vile, Fla.l:
Once, in land of balm and flowers,
VI rich fruit-la len trees,
Where the wild wreaths from jasmine bowers
Trail DER Floridian seas,
We marked our Jeennie's footsteps rum
Athwart the twinkling glade:
She seemed Hebe in the sun,
A Dryad In the shade.
And all day long her winsome song,
Her trebles and soft trills.
would wave,like flow. or silvary low
Die down the whispering rills.
One morn midmost the foliage dim
A dark gray pinion stirs:
And bark! along the vine-clad limb
What strange voice blends with hers?
1t blends with hers. which soon is stilled-
Drawer the mOck-bird's note
IMAM all the strains that ever filled
The Queenl:est human throatl
As JEANNE heard she loved the bird,
And sought thenceforth to share
With her new favorite, dawn by dawn,
Her daintiest morning cheer.
But an: blight beyond our ken,
From some far feverous wild,
Brought that dark Shadow feared Of men
Across the fated child.
1t chilled her dropping curls of brown,
1t dimmed her violet eyes,
And like an awful cloud crept down
From vague, mysterious skies.
AT last one day our JEANNE lay
All pulseless, pale. forlorn:
The sole sweet breath on lips of death
The fiuttering breath Of morn;
When just beyond the o'er-curtained room
tHOw tender. yet how strongly
Rose through the misty morning gloom
The mock-birds sudden song.
Dear Christi those notes of golden peal
Seem caught from Heavenly spheres,
Yet through their marvellous cadence steal
Tones soft as chaStened tears.
Is it an angels voice that throbs
Within the brown Bird breast,
Whose rhythmic magic scars or sObs
Above cur dlrliugs rest?
The fancy paSsed-but came once more
When. stolen from Jeannle's bed,
That eve. along the porchway door
found our minstrel-dead!
The fire of that transcendent strain
His life-chOrds burned apart,
And merged in sorrows earthlier pain,
1t broke the o erladen heart
Maiden and bird.-the self-same grave
Their welded dust shall keep,
While the long low Floridan wave
Means round their plac of sleep.

Lawns.

The most attractive feature about any
place is a neat, well-kept turf; should
this be neglected, no matter how fine
the flowers or clean the walks, the lawn
will lack its greatest charm. If it has
had coat of short. rich manure spread
over the surface during winter, as it
should have received, the first work in
very early spring is to rake it carefully
off without disturbing the grass roots,
and then give it thorough rolling,
passing over the entire area several
times, crossing and recrossing in differ
emit directions. In lieu of the above,
sow thickly bonedust, plaster, or other
good fertilizer, SO a. to Induce thick

which will obliterate any such insight

profoundly, awfully wise. .
"Now, doctor, what shall do? I

A couple of years afterward, when il
had all passed. and the watching in the
tower, together with a great deal OF
hard work for the old gentleman, was
completed and left behind, Philip could
look back and understand that it was
out of these longings, dreams and
struggles with poverty he had got much
of his power. In the school to which
he had been admitted many of his as
sociates could copy from models with

But it was not until the end of the

years old; that his great opportunity
came-the right opportunity, which,
sooner or later, in one way or another,
comes to most boys. A wealthy patron
of the school offered to send abroad for
q long course of study any pupil who
should, within certain period, con-
ceive and execute the best original

that of the other ambitious students,
