ssummer Souvenirs as Home Ornaments.
Both hairpin cushion and a pin
cushion for hanging beside ones dress
ing table, may be made of pair of cows
horns cleaned and polished. Stuff each
with curled hair, bore holes in the tops,
and insert loop from which to suspend
them. Make the hairpin cushion by
knitting, and loop-stitch a piece to cover
the top of the horn. Cover the top of
the pin cushion with velvet. Tie the
horns together at the bottom, and decor
ate as desired.
A common turtle shell may be made
into an oddlooling box for the library
table, and will be found convenient for
holdings stamps, pens, etc. When the
shell is cleaned and polished, make an
oblong box sufficiently low for it to fit
over, Glue rim of cardboard upon the
inside of the shell, to fit on the box.
Tlhn make head, tail and legs of
bonnet wire, wound with black worsted,
and fasten them upon the box. For
the foundation Of the box, take a piece
of thin board and cover the outside with
light gray moss; glue the box upon the
foundation, and pull the moss over the
legs, head and tail so as partly to con-
ceal them. A branch of bright red
berries has a very pretty effect in the
gray moss, if that can be obtained. In
the center of our collection is a piece of
rough rock with a pretty bit of summer
scenery painted upon it in oils.
A work-bag, very pretty and convent
ent, is made of two picnic plates with a
spray oppressed ferns glued on the out
side one. After the ferns have been
securely fastened, give it coat Of white
varnish. Join the plates with a strip of
silk two inches wide, by gluing it on the
inside of the plates. Leave an open
space of four inches at the top; finish
this with an arrow ruflle, and run an
elastic through it in such I manner that
it may draw the plates together at the
top, and still allow them to be readily
drawn apart to put the work in. Ribbons
by which to carry it are drawn through
small holes at the top.
An autograph book is made of thin
strips of birch bark, tied together with
ribbon. Many pretty things may be
made of birch bark-baskets of all
shapes, music rolls, etc. 1t is well to
get good store of it.-MRs. WEIGH in

How 10 Take off q Hide.

The hides of granddaughter animals
have poor reputation, because of the
careless way in which they are stripped.
Calf-skins and sheep-pelts are reduced
one-half in value by being cut and
gashed, and improperly stretched. When
a hide is stripped off, it should be
stretched at once, and pegged out 20
dry, with the lesh side upward. If it is
rolled up, or thrown in heap and left
to dry in that shape, it is so mean-look-
ing that a buyer will offer only half its
real value. a few hints in regard to
taking Off hide, may be useful. The
throat should never be slit cross-wise,
either in killing or taking off hide.
The skin is slit from the chin down the
brisket, ina straight line to the tail; it is
then cut around each hoof; the hind
legs are slit behind over the gambrel.
but the front legs are slit up in front,
over the knee This leayes the skin in
good shape for finishing the leather.
The head and legs are first carefully
skinned, and all cutting of the skin is
avoided. The skin is then easily drawn
of by taking hold of it firmly, and
pulling it st, a lily. 1t is then spread out
evenly on floor, and salted with fine
salt, If there is but one, it is best to
stake it out as soon as the salt has taken,
and dry it at once in a cool, shaded
place. If there are more than one, they
are laid upon each other and salted
quite freely, and afterwards they are
thoroughly dried. If the skins are to be
kept on hand, they should be closely
watched for moths and or grubs-Am.

Beyond Tho Veil.

The sun, as It fingered on the edge Of
the horizon--sinlling so slowly that one
might say 70 regretted to leave the world
IN darkness-lighted up his face until
the grandchild asleep on his knee would
not have recognized him had she OPEN
ed her eyes.
Old and feeble and gray-ready to bid
farewell to earth--ho was a child again,
and his mind had the thoughts Of a
child. The sun had gone down and the
dusk had come on for him ten thousand
times without question, but this time he
fllt afraid and whispered:
ooh! sum-. do not leave me Just yet.
Wait until am a man, and l shall care
not whether it is day or night"
And the sun whispered back to him:

"But wait a little longer. When

night will have no terrors for me-"

"Then remain with mep pleaded the
old man. my limbs are feeble, and
your light win safely guide my foot

"That cannot do; but will send the
moon to cast her rays upon the earth
and soften the darkness of the night"
And when the moon came the old
mans locks were changed from the gold
of sunset to the silver of evening, and

and the old man pleaded:

pany during my brief stay on earth"
And one bright star answered for al
the rest:
"a hand greater than mans control
our movements. Look beyond us"
And the stars drew aside the mystic
veil, and the old mans eyes looked be
hind it, They lighted up with the fire
of youth-of hope-of anticipation-o
deep satisfaction. His aged face grew
young-his limbs regained his strength
his blood coursed as in the veins of
man in his prime. The stars held tn
veil aside but a moment. and yet he hat

The child slept on, but the arm
around it gave up their strength.

Lincoln as am Ady2oate.

Lincoln was, upon the whole, the
strongest jury lawyer in the State. He
had the ability to perceive with almost
intuitive quicl5ness the decisive point in
the case. In the examination and cross
examination OF 4 witness lie had no
equal. He could compel o witness to
tell the truth when he meant to lie, and
If witness lied he rarely escaped eX-
posure under Lincoln's cross-eXamina-
ton. He could always make jury
laugh, and often weep, at his pleasure,
His legal arguments addressed TO the
judges weie always clear, vigorous and
logical, seeking to convince rather by
the application Of principle than by the
citation of cases. A stranger going into
court when he was trying 4 cause would
after few minutes, find himself on
Lincoln's side, and wishing him success.
He seemed to magnetic every one. he
was so straightforward, so direct, so
candid, that every spectator was i'm
pressed with the idea that he was seek
ing only truth and justice. lie eXcelled
in the statement OF his case. However
complicated, he would distangle il, and
present the real issue in so simple and
clear way that all could understand.
Indeed, his statement often rendered
argument unnecessary, and frequently
the court would stop him, and say, "lf
this is the case, Brother Lincoln, we
will hear the othcrside.n His illustra-
tions were often quaint and homely, but
always apt and clear, and often decisive.
He always met his opponents case fail

Afraid of Being Laughed At.

There came to MS, as we were going to
press with this number q young man
from Down East, with pathetic story
Of the manner in which he had been
swindled by band of sharpers here in
New York. We Immediately proceeded
to headquarters with the victim, where
the necessary assistance was guaranteed
him for recovering his money; but,
finding that his name would so into the
papers, he decided 10 go home. Il do
not want my friends, he said, ITO laugh
at me-" as ne left our Office This fear
Of being riliculed, really is the secret OF
the successful operation of so many
swlndlers here in New York. If every
one who has becn duped, would immed-
lately come 70 this Office, and make
known the facts, we guarantee that in
a very short space of time, We should be
able to rid the city Of all the various
charlatans, and imposters, who lie in
wait for the uusu5pecting and unWary
strangers visiting the metropolis. The
fact, that one has been imposed upon
upon by these sharpers, is nothing 10 be
ashamed Of The abest and most emi-
nent men in the country are often en-
SHARED by them, as foreXample, Charles
Francis Adams, not long ago in Boston.

known the facts TO the authorities, when
