Never set iron ware in the sink or on the
work table while cleaning it, nor yet on
the stove, thus scorching your hands and
face while scrapng out. Even if you wash
these things in all outside kitchen do not
set them on benches or tables there. 1t is
untidy and makes great deal OF disagree
able and needless cleaning. Keep largo
squares of thick pasteboard hung con
venicnt to slip under pots, kettles, stew
dishes and spiders, whenever you set them
down. You have no idea how much
"crocking" of benches and tables it will
save. Cut small hole near one corner of
the square to hang it up by, and when too
much blackened burn up and replace 1t
with new Or the paSteboards may be
covered with oil cloth, in which case they
can be washed at pleasure, and used to an
indefinite length of time.
Use old tooth or nail brushes for clean
ing the corners of window sashes. Ii the
briStles are worn out at the end cut off the
brush half way, or down to where the
bristles are long and stiff. Old brushes
are also excellent for cleaning smoky and
greasy lamp burners. Remove the wick,
put the burner into basin of hot suds,
and scrub inside and out With the brush.
Afterward scour with fine coal ashes rinse,
wipe dry, and polish with flannel rag.
They will look equal to new. Tea kettles,
or other tlnware which has become black
ened and dull from long use. should also
be secured with coal ashes, from which
every bit of coal and coarse ashes has
beef sifted Wash after in a good hot
soap suds and wipe dry. DO not repeat
the securing often, but wash frequently in
clean, hot suds, with clean, soft cloth,
and they will keep bright for good length
of time.

TIE SEVEN AGES OF WOMEN.

All this life is play
And Ewes fair daughters have their various
roles,
They wrest the list'ner's pity and his love.
Each woman in her time plays seven parts,
And leads in all of them.
AT first, the baby,
Growing and scolding in her nurses arms,
And then the household darling with her dolls
And braided golden hair; temper like iron,
The mistress OF them all.
And then the maiden,
Blushing like rosebud, with her chewing gum
And lovers by the dozen. Then the mother,
Full of conceit and rounded like dumping,
Severe in visage, proper and nice in manner,
Keeping the family reputation
Pure in the neighbours mouths.
And then the Crandam
In her rufIled cap and kcrchief crossed;
Gold spectacles in place and pursed-up mouth,
Proffering advice backed up with Scripture
verses,
Thus she enacts her role.
The next change shows
Tho wrinkled brow with nose and chin ap-
preached,
Enamored of her snuff and staff and chair;
Cracked both in voice and mind, her shrunk
hands,
Thrust loosely in her gloves, full of great
griefs
Bout little things, no pillow soft enough
For her bent back. Now comes last scene of
all
To end this solemn comedy of life
The vacant stare, thick tongue and palsied
hand,
Sans blood, sans warmth, sans light, sans
everything.

POWERS. In Luncnburgh, August 26, Geo.
Il. Powers aged 2l years.
On Wednesday of last week, at the
setting of the sun, the earthly career
of George r. Powers ended, the labor
of this life was finished and its record
became sealed book. -Four months
ago, although in feeble health, new
hopes and fond anticipations bright
ened the future prospect of his young
life, as he entered upon and gladly ac-
| cepted the responsibilities of the
marital relation. Although clouds
then hung threateningly upon the ho-
rizon of his vision, still he trusted that
disease might be overcome, the clouds
of fear dispelled, and that ere long the
bright sunlight of joy and peace might
usher in for them a long, happy and
useful life, but Move have no assur-
ance of realizing what we anticipate
in this life; the brightest visions, like
the rainbow, quickly fade; the fond
est hopes lie buried beneath many a
grassy mound, and prayers, to our
mortal sense, are unanswered. Long
weeks of pain and anxiety followed,
accompanied with gradually lessening
strength, foretold with certainty the
sure result. The tender care of loved
and loving ones, and the kindly no.
tice and oft expressed sympathy of
friends made the road less rough, and
the way less difficult. As his hold on
material things grew more feeble, his
grasp upon the eternal grew more
firm, and, finally, it was but one step
from time to eternity, from earthly
care, trouble and pain to the peace,
joy and rest of heaven.
George was young man beloved by
all who knew him, and in whom con
tidence was safely placed; one in
whom the deep and tender sympathies
of love and affection, and the sterling
qualities which beget the highest man
| hood We're predominant traits. Earth
has lost true and loving husband, Il
dutiful soa and affectionate brother,

Sunday, both morning and evening,

was greeted most cordially by his old
friends here, and seldom has a more
pleasant or profitable day been spent
in the church since its erection. Ills
sermons were efforts of rare merit, ex-

livered in his usual quiet, yet earnest
and interesting manner. Each one
went to their homes more inclined
than when they came to keep his OF
her heart with all diligence, to do
right regardless of consequences, and
to refuse to come even at the command
of kings to the feast OF the wicked
The pleasure of his visit here is height
ened by the recollection of the aid he
furnished in the struggle to erect this
House of Worship. 1t was mainly 10y
his efforts that large sum was con-
tributed for that purpose by his Phil
adelphia parishioners and others. The
Rev. DR.. and his amiable wife ex-
pressed great satisfaction at the result
of the work in which they were so
deeply interested, and congratulated
the members of the parish on the neat
appearance of the interior of the
church, and the remarkable success OF
their work.

Grandmothers and good old aunties to

yourprecious baby up by the clock Feed
him at first at regular intervals of two
hours each. You will find it not only pos
Sible, but easy, to accustom the child to
this periodicity, and you will be much
freer to leave him in trusted hands, anG

The nursing mother must be careful of
her diet, not indulging in doubtful delica-
cies, or eating dainties which may impair
her digestion. She is the warden of an
other life, and any indiscretions of hers
will act unfavoraby upon her charge
Nor must she yield to irritabilty or give
way to temper, for her sin in this regard
will at once return upon her head in the
suffering of the innocent little one
Preparations of barley, oatmeal, wheat,

Sleep is an important factor in the baby's
well-being. The little human animal re-
quires a graat deal of sleep. III fact, to
sleep is its main business in the begin
ming of its days, and healthy child, for
the first month, should, and often does,
spend twenty hours out of the twenty
four in this occupation.
1t is not well to carry the little one
about the house, or to admit into his SOW
ereign presence too many admiring
friends.
The baby's world should be hushed
and quiet world. The nest, with the pro-
tecting love that hallows the little inclos-
ure. is the best and most fitting type Of
babys nursery. Commotion, disturbance,
uprCar, such as should never be permitted
in a well regulated family, may annoy the
infant sleeper, and brighten him into
wakefulneSs; but the useful flow of family
life will only be an accompaniment to his
dreams. -HdpCrS Bdzdr.
