1t is a "curious fact" according to
the New York Herald, that from vice to
virtue the road is long and a hard
one, while from virtue to vice the road
is very short.

Chapped Hands.

The raw winds of the late autumn
and winter often produce in the hands
OF those who are much exposed to
them that roughness and cracking OF
the skin known as chapping. If moth
ing is done to prevent, and the person
is obliged to have his hands frequently
wet and. dried, the cracks will often get
deep and be painful. Corn husking is
frequently accompanied by sore hands
from this cause. AS both precaution
aud cure for chapped hands We have
used the following with benefit:
Wash the hands. and the face also If
it is inclined to chap, with borax water,
and afterward rub vita an ointment
made by melting mutton-tallow Tor
suet), and then gradually adding an
equal quantity Of glycerine, stirring
the two together until cool. For the
hands, this mixture can be best applied
at night. using it freely and warming it
in by the fire, after which an old pair
of gloves can be put on to keep the bed.
clothes from being soiled, and also
make the skin of the hands softer.
An excellent glycerine ointment for
chappsd hands is made by melting,
with gentle heat, two ounces OF sweet
oil OF almonds, half an ounce of sper-
maceti, and one drachm of white wax.
When melted, remove from the stove,

The Obelisk's Soliloquy.

"Why was I born? And why did 1
ever consent to leave my own dear land
of Egypt? What beastly and infer
nal climate Hot, cold, wet, dry
everything by turns and nothing long,
like the temper of Cleopatra when I used
to see her driving Mark Antony half out
of lis head with her WITNESSES In all
my 5000 years experience of my own
country, never sawa day like this. I
shall have to buy an ulster. My very
heart is soaked with water and my back
aches with the rheumatism as I lie here
ON this COMPOUNDED scaffold. BY all the
gods at once, from Isisnd Osiris down
to the little gods whose names l can't
think of, with this abominable cold in
my pyramidion, wish I hadn't con.
sented to take this trip. That Yankee
commander, Gorringe, has fooled me
to death. I haven't seen a glimpse Of
the sun for weeks. In old Heliopolis
I was warm all the time. Here I'll have to
have an umbrellaand pair of artics or
I shan't survive the winter. What a
fate TO leave my native Nile mud
and cloudless skies to 60 to pieces in
such o spot as this By the bones of
the Pharaohs, I'd rather be mummy,
vanished, stuffed with cloves and
shelved in the great pyramid, than to
stand up here-if I ever do get on my
legs again--to be stared at by school
girls a1d thin women in Spectacles. 1
used TO see donkeys enough in Alex
andria, but I see more of 'em here--
only they're little differently built.
Great Cesar What is that on the
back of my neck A chunk OF ice, as
I'm heary old sinner. Well, may the
gods come to my rescue or I'm done
for. Oh, Memnon, what pain in my
back! If didn't hate puns l should
say this was anything but luxurious
place to live in. Wish I had bed OF
hot sand to die on. Oh, oh !"-[New
