ROCK OF AGES,

The sweet hymn which is so often and so pray
erfully sung loses none of its tenderness through
the following poetical commentary anonymous
~ published some years ago.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung;
Fell the words unconsciously
From her girlish, gleeful tongue;
Sung as little children sing
Sung as sing the birds in June;
Fell the words like bright leaves down
On the current of the tune;
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let me hide myself in thee"
Felt her soul no need to hide;
Sweet the song as song could be-
And she had no thought beside;
AS the words unheedingly
Fell from lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not they each might be
On some other lips a prayer
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Rock of Ages, cleft for me"
Twas woman sung them now.
Pleadingly and prayerfully;
Every word her heart did know;
Rose the song as storm tossed bird
Beats with weary wings the air;
Every note with sorrow stirred,
Every syllable prayer
Rock of Ages, cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Rock of Ages, cleft for me"
Lips grown aged sung the hymn;
Trustingly and tenderly-
Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim,
LET me hide myself in Thee"
Trembling though the voice and low,
Rose the sweet strain peacefully,
Like q river i'll its flow.
Sung as only they can sing
Who Life's thorny paths have pressed;
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Sung above coffin lid;
Underneath, all restfuly,
All Life's joys and sorrows hid.
Neyermore, o storm-tossed soul,
Nevermore from wind or tide,
Nevermore from pillows roll,
wilt thou need thyself to hide.
Could the sightless, sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft grey hair.
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Still, aye still, the words would be
Let me hide myself in Thee"

The unhappiest woman l know, says
writer in the Boston IraUeIer, is a brilliant
woman of semi Bohemian literary society,"
Envied, but not enviable; admired, but not
loved. The wittiest woman of her city, her
bon-mots are the cleyerest at the clubs A
clever and thinking woman, her work is as
clever and thoughtful. She says: 81 would
rather be the weakest least talented woman
in the world, the honest wife of an honest
man, who would love me and let me love
him, than the most beautiful, successful wo.
man of the world. | would rather be the
slave of household than queen usurping
masculine rights"
The happiest woman know lives in a
small one.story cottage, behind which are two
tiny rows of corn, and patch of sunfowers
and little brook that thlrstily hurries along
to find more water All she has in the world
to "protect" her is the strong-limbed, hearty,
unambitious husband, who pauses but few
times from morning until night, even to wave
willing hand at her from small marble
quarry two rods away. She says: 81 viii

For the Housewife.

A little sweet-oil and beeswax rubbed on
mahogany polishes it up beautifully.
Flowers kept in a warm room should be
watered with tepid water. Very cold water
is apt to freeze the roots
| A little spirit of ammonia dropped into u
greasy pan or sink will cleanse it easily
Only a few drops are necessary.
If the kitchen stove is cleaned out every
night and made already to be lighted, great
deal of time may be saved the next morning
Large palm-leaf fans may be made very
ornamental if they are painted in designs of
flowers and gided about the edge and
handle.
| A screen may be Ornamented by FASTING
on it ferns and autumn leaves, arranged in
some artistic design, and then finished by a
coat of copal varnish
| A pretty and serviceable cover for baby's
crib may be made out of white cotton illusion,
embroidered and put over pale blue or pink
sateen or silesia.
| A pretty cover for small table can be
made out of square of dark brown felt
About the edge apply double row of yellow
felt daisies, stitching them on with yellow
| floss silk.
| A dish or vase of fresh water should be
kept in every room where there is fire, es-
pecally an open fire. The water absorbs the
| gas arising from the coal and other impuri-
ties in the air.
| A slightly damp cloth rubbed over dusty
carpet brightens it wonderfully and gathers
all the dust. This is an excellent way TO
cleanse the floor of an invalid's room, where
noise and dust are Objectionable.
If a lady has a book rack or table she
wishes to varnish, first put on a coat of lin
seed oil and then apply the shellac. The oil
sinks into the pores of the wood and shows
the grain. Pine, however, will not absorb
| it.
Flowers may be kept very fresh over night
if they are excluded entirely from the air.
To do this wet them thoroughly, put in q
damp box and cover with wet raw-cotton or
wet newspaper, then place in cool spot.
Stale buns may be made to taste as nicely
as when fresh if they are dipped for moment
or so in cold water and then put in hot
oven for five or ten minutes. They will turn
out as light and crisp as when first baked.
One of the best ways to cure sore throat
is as follows: Wiring cloth out offs salt and
cold water, and keeping it quite wet bind
tightly about the neck. Cover this with a
dry cloth 1t is best to use this remedy in the
night
For large family of children always set
two dishes on the table of any such article
as Bread preserves, butter or cake. This
will save great deal of delay in serving, and
save much running to and fro to refill empty
dishes. ..

The poor little baby is gonel Whatever
the doctor may have written upon his certif-
icate, there are some friends of the family
who are sure that the little object was fairly
petted to death. 1t was forlorn, thin baby

fortunately the only one in large family
Grandpapa and grandmamma on both sides,
the bachelor uncles, and two vivacious young
aunts in their teens were all ready to assert
their rights Ito take care of baby and to
"amuse her." Hardly had the delicate body
an hours rest in the day. She was tossed in
the air and trundled over rough pavements,
and carried in arms, and made to smile and
give her attention to whomever demanded it !;
the most fatiguing mental exercise. When
she was sick the family were doubly atten-
tive. She grew more and more anguid

Treacheries of Tick,

OF all the ticks that ever tricked the farm
er, not even the bed tick-a little buggy
the wood tick, the ticdoloreau or the tick of
MY Grandfathcr's Clock" which has now
stopped short, never to go again." or the
sheep tick, which will not always succumb to
the influence OF the poisonous weed, tobacco
nor all these combined-have wrought so
much mischief to the farmers as that "tick"
which means trust.
In some country stores may be seen posted
up the sign mo Tick" in large, Illuminated
letters. All these stores do not practice what
they preach; for if the proprietor knows that
the man who asks for tick is the owner of a
farm he will seldom refuse to trust him. So
book is opened and the farmer and all his
family can run TO the store all through the
year and get whatever is wanted, either for
the table or for clothing. In this way they
will often get things they would most as
suredy get along without if the cash was re-
quired upon each purchase. Many farmers
have been ruined by these store debts-have
been obliged to mortgage the farm to pay
them. Or course they are astonished at the
end OF the year to see how large is the
amount of the debt they have made, and of
ten think there must have been some cheat
ing, etc. But here is the great trouble
When you trade on tick you feel obliged to
trade all the time at the same places, and to
pay whatever price they choose to charge
you although you often feel reasonably sure
that the merchant is making fifty per cent.
on some articles. But you can't help your
self. You have not the money to 60 where
you are sure you could get better bargains,
and so the merchant makes his own terms
with you
1t would be money in the farmers pocket
at the end of the year if he would borrow
money, il necessary, and then pay cash for all
he bought and buy where he could get goods
cheapest. Money can be borrowed at a low
per centage, and cash will buy goods much
cheaper than "tick" will. And besides this
t 1ass whole Whole family ANIL will economic and trade
money for all they buy Beware of tick

You Cannot Buy 1T In the
10 Bar-rOOms.
What an absurd idea it is 10 send
sick man, with an ailing stomach,
a torpid liver, and impoverished
blood, to a bar-room to swallow
some stimulating stuff, and call it
medicine!
An enormous amount of mischief
is constantly done by men who thus
trifle with themselves. Instead of
healing their diseases, they make
them worse. Instead of gaining
strength they only acquire the dis
graceful habit Of tipping.
1t is point worth noting in con-
nection with Bro7OW'S Iron BiherS,
that this valuable medicine is not
sold in bar-rooms, and will not be.
1t is not drink. 1t is a remedy.
1t is not made to tickle the palate of
old topers. 1t is made to heal dis
ease. 1t is not made to promote the
good-fellowship of a lot of bibulous
fellows standing around a bar and
asking each other, "What will yo4
take? 1t is a true tonic; an iron
medicine containing the only prepa-
ration of iron which can safely and
bene6cially be taken into the system.

Twas Ever Thus.

An exchange remarks: II is
strange how closely people read
the papers. We never say anything
that anybody don't like, but VII at
we soon hear Of it, ana everybody
tells us abont 1t. But, if once in
a while we happen to say a good
thing, we never hear that-nObOdy
seems to notice that. We may pay
some man a hundred compliments,
and give him a dozen pufs, and he
takes it as a tribute to his greatness
and never thinks 1t does him any
good. But if we happen. to say
something that this very man don't
like, or something that he imaeines
reflects on him or his character, see
how quickly he flies up and gets
mad about it. All our evils is duly
charged to us, but we never, appar-
emily, get any credit for what we
do.

they were despondent and could
only administer temporary relief.
DR.. Ellis leaves a wife, and two
married daughters, and a youthful
son to bewail his death; they have
the heartfelt sympathy Of the com
munity. The funeral, at 4 O'clock,

county, Tennessee, and settled in

years he has been a leading phySi-
