THE APPROACH OF CHRISTMAS.

When rosemary, and bays, the poets crown,
Are bawled, in frequent cries, through all the
town,
Then judge the festival of Christmas near
Christmas, the joyous period of tho year.
Now, with bright holly all the temples strew,
With laurel green, and sacred mistletoe:
Bid meagre Want uprear her sickly head;
Bid shivering lambs be warm; let Plentys bowl
In humble roofs make glad the needy soul!

A better plan for removing grease
spots than by applying hot iron is te
rub in some spirit of wine with the hand
until the grease is brought to powder,
and there will be no trace OF it. Every
school-boy is not aware that ink spots
can be removed from leaves of books
by using solution Of oxalic acid in wa
ter; nor does every house-maid know
that "spots" are easily cleaned from var
nished furniture by rubbing it with
