The Romance of a Benedict.

/.
There comes to-day.
From far away,
message Itwas sent to me
From one knew,
Who still is true.
Her face again seemed to see;
] trembed AS read her name;
Through every ycin within my frame
The deathless love of lOug-ago
Again possessed my soul
3 s And held control.
Once In these empty arms
Her lovely form pressed;
/ gaZed upon her charms,
felt upon my breast
The beating of her heart,
Ere we were torn apart:
Two lives, with faith and trust,
Were blended into one.
. Our rost-leayes now are dust,
Our dream divine Is done.
IL,
Our dream is done, and yet to-day there came
A message from her. 1t was but line.
That though she bore ron Earth another name,
In Heaven her heart forever would be mine, "
read her words of hope, sighed. / knew
Her heart was faithful and her soul was true
That earthly care and suffering had wrecked
'Tis sweetly said, tits wondrous strange,
10 see tine melancholy change
That time has wrought in her fair face,
Her form, her voice, her dwelling-place.
Pride, like a river, flows between
Il Our sllndered lives but cannot hide
The light that flashes DER the tide;
No barrier can intervene
Between her soul and miEe:
Love was, and Is, divine.
1t shOne-it shines forever from afar
ala5A Like an eternal staH.
III.
Ahl life is short, and love is long;
Its hope is sweet, its faith is strong.
We live
We give
Our hearts away.
We watch and wait from day to day,
And Time flies on.
The flowers fade, the snowflakes fall,
They soon are gone;
And death destroys. but ends not all.
The years may fly,
The friends we know
May droop and die,
But love Is true!
And every truth the world contains
In Heaven remains.
From ,.Mizra," by Eugene ]. Hall.

Bed and Bedrooms.

A careful housewife remarks: Bed
and bedding need especial caro-; on fine
days keep your sleeping room windows
open several hours, if possible. and if
not conspicuous, leave your beds un-
made, and let pillows and mattresses air
in the sun. Thoroughly examine the
bedstead-take out the Stats, which you
will probably find covered with dust
accumulated dust will also be found on
the Stats of the spring beds Wipe this
OIL with salt and water. Salt dissolved
i'll very little water should be put on
with small paint brush in all the cor
ners of the bedstead, to prevent yermin
from finding a place. If by any chance,
they are already there, this must be re-
peated as often as twice week, until
they are exterminated. Also wipe the
edges of the mattresses well with cloth
wrung out of salt and water You
should meet this matter promptly, and
give it your supervision, for, if not at
tended to at once. they will get the bet
ter OF you and cause you annoyance.
Few things are more imperatiyely de-
mandcd by the health and comfort of
the household than clean beds and well
ventilated sleeping rooms. We COM
ilehu une nlhts impaired by Na careful
housewife" to our readers: As houses
are generally made it is better to draw
down the upper sash of window, for
the reason that the warmest air, partic-
nlarly during the winter, collects near
che ceiling. and injurious matters are
carried up into it from the floor. Draw
ing down the sash will afford a double
means of ventilation; permitting the
warm and noxious air to escape, and the
outer air to enter at the bottom of the
sash through the lower one. When the
weather is cold, it Is not necessary the
upper sash be lowered much; an inch or
two would be sufficient for room of
the average size-that is fourteen or fif-
teen feet square. A room which is used
for the general assembling of the fami-
ly, what is called o living room. should
not be less than that in dimension.

Highly Spiead.


what is one mans meat, is anoth-
er's poison" is truth often proved, and
in nothing more than in the details and
condiments of cooking. You think the
French Canadian smells too strongly of
garlic and eats too much pork; but if
you were to dine with Greenlander he
would treat you to his favorite dish of
whales tail. with bumper of train oil.
In China you would have roasted dog;
in Burmah red ant stews; in Africa fat,
roasted spiders. Go to Australia and
get kangaroos' tails; to Brazil for par
rot pies, and in France the frogs are so
''highly-spiced'' as to be said to resem-
BILE veal. Is it then any wonder if the
inhabitants of a country that comprises
many nations should have varied ideas
regarding their foodp The seasons too
have a great influence on our needs, for
in the torrid days of July we do not re-
quire the carbon necessary in January.
Cool salads, fresh eggs, fruit and well
boiled wheat grains, or corn or oatmeal
are more wholesome for the summer
weather, while the hot coffee, the savory
bacon and pancakes, are not so hurtful
when the thermometer reaches zero and
the body is to be actively employed af-
terWard. How many men whose wives
wish to introduce table according to
the hygienic rules find their attempts in
terfere with customary usage, and say,
II must have stronger food. it is all
very we'll for women folks" Yet by an
alysis the fact could be easily ascertain
ed that half the usual articles of food
are not really nourishing. Having a
few friends to spend an evening lately,
my attention was arrested by the diff
ference of taste in regard to the oysters
we had for supper. One gentleman af-
ter a copious sprinkle of black pepper
and II dash of cayenne, remarked that
he could hardlyget his food too 'highly
seasoned" Another could not eat at
all after he had put in a slight sprink-
ling of cayenne, but had to exchange
for plate of fresh stew and did not add
any pepper at all. This little circum-
stance proved to me how difficult it is
for any one to properly judge the guam
tity necessary for seasoning.

Mrs. Laura Dainty was reading. out in
Missouri, and at one of the receptions
which frequently follow her reading a
gentleman was present who was able to
talk horse very fluently, but couldn't talk
anything else. Not being able to talk
much horse, the little lady was puzzled
how to entertain this guest. until he cas-
ually mentioned that he formerly lived
in a certain Michigan city. "Oh, yes"
she exclaimed. Il read there only few
evenings ago and had most charm
ing audience Then she added. They
have very fine course there" And
he, delighted to find woman who knew
something, enthusiastically replied:
Yes, they have as nice mile track as
there is in the state" The subsequent
silence cast a gloom over the entire COM

Bed Fancies.

Fantastic bed-coverings are all the
rage. Quilts made of plush of divers
coIors, pieced with fancy stitches and
finished with deep border of lace with
heavy mesh. are very handsome. Pill
low shams are corrcspondingly elabor-
ate. Lace spreads and shams over
bright-colored silks are still much used.
Even if bed is covered with white
spread dash of color is deemed :indis=
pensable, and scarf-like drapery OF
brocade in all the Oriental tints is
thrown, as if by accident, across the
foot of the bed. A rich set, spread and
shams, was made recently of sheer mus
lin, borlered with deep band of ruby
plush and finished with fall of heavy
antique lace.-Philddetplti0 Progress.

several boxes containing nearly $62, 900

Louis Moussier, who occupied the house

by finding his name on the roll of coin,

herself defeated the nuns in lawsuit

A SUNDAY LAW CASE.

! case was decided in a St. Louis
court last Tuesday that brings up
some new phases respecting the value
of a note executed and delivered on
Sunday. On the Goth of September,
1869, Christian Stahl and Andrew
Stahl executed and delived to Ru-
dolph Spelbrink, the plaintiff in the
case, their joint note for $500, bor-
rowed money. The note was never
paid, and in 1879, before the statute of
limitation had run out, suit was
brought and tie case has been pend
ing in court ever since. On the trial
Tuesday defendants counsel suggest
ed to the court that the goth of Sep
ember, 1869, was Sunday, and
claimed therefore that the note
was void, Judge Adams, who
heard the case, charged the jury care
fully upon one feature OF the evidence.
which showed that Christian Stahl
had borrowed the money in person
about the middle of the week, and
that on the Sunday following he and
Andrew Stahl had executed and
delivered the note. The jury
found that the defendant who
borrowed and received the money
in person, during the middle
of the week, was responsible
for the face and interest of
the note, aggregating over $500. The
other defendant, who merely signed
the note on Sunday, was acquitted
The force of this decision is that if
man borroWs and receives money
during the week and executes his note
therefor on Sunday, he need not hope
