Clean Cellars Necessary for Healthy Homes.

In city and country alike, it is the dark
corners, the neglected and little used places
in the house, which most frequently con-
tribute to its unhealhfulness, and in ways
which are the more insidious because so Of
ten unsuspected. In this respect the. Gel
lars of many houses have much to answer
for, for they are generally dark and damp,
with no direct rays of the sun to kill the
mephitic gases which always seek those
low levels, and no ventilation to disperse
even where the cellars themselves are not
made the repositories of cast-off rubbish
and vegetable refuse. Therefore the warn
ing cannot be too often given, especially in
the spring, when so many families move
into new houses, and when the good house.
wife generally enforces the most thorough
cleaning and overhauling of the year, to
look to it that the cellar is not neglected
Their ceilings and walls should be plastered
and whitewashed or calcimined where pos
sible, to keep them dry and clean, and the
occupants should prevent their cellars above
all things else from becoming poke holes"
for rubbish; the floors should be well paved
or cemented, to keep out cmanations from
Ihe soil; and where this can be done, they
should be ventilated by keeping open, in
dry weather, windows or doors communi-
eating with the outside air. Emanations
from cellars do not kill in night; they are
but too frequently not noticed at all, al
though damp and mouldy cellars have un-
doubtedly done much to undermine the
health of many families. This cellar air is
taken up through the rooms of house
gradually, and in small doses at a time, but
the warmer air of the upper rooms produces
an upward current every time the cellar
door is open. and neglect in regard to this
matter IS sure to entail serious consequences
because the real reason is so often over
looked. .-Scieutit1c american.

R0sebudS of Thought.

Keep the heart tender and pure, and
sweet thoughts, which are but the whis-
perings Of angels, will shed their hallowed
influence in it-,just as the balmy odor fills
the air wherein the dewy roses bloom.
The surest way to prevent others from
doing wrong, is to do right ourselves. The
influence of our example will have far
greater effect than what we might say.
To love our own flesh and blood is natu-
raj; to love ourselves more than all others
is selfish; to love the fortunate is policy; but
to love the unfortunate is divine.
Beautiful dreams are but sweet refec-
tions.
Just as the pure snow covers the deforn-
tiles of the earth, so does the spotless man
tie of charity hide the defects of the heart,
concealing them from the eyes of the world,
and atoning for them in the eyes of God.
The soul is mysterious volume over
whose pages no eye hath scanned, save the
eye of Him who created it. Often we think
we are familiar with its contents, and can
read its motives and comprehend its aspi-
rations, when in reality we have not read
the title page. Hence we are quick to con-
denim and slow to understand.-Mrs. Nam

1T PAYS.

1t pays to wear a smiling face,
And laugh our troubles down,
For all our little trials wait
Our laughter or our frown.
Beneath the magic of smile,
Our doubts will fade away,
As melts the frost in early spring,
Beneath the sunny r.y.
1t pays to make worthy capse,
By helping 1t, our own;
To give the current of our lives
A true and noble tone.
1t pays to comfort heavy hearts,
Oppressed with dull despair,
And leave in sorrow-darkened lives,
A gieam of brightness there.
1t pays to give helping hand
To eager, earnest youth,
To note with all their waywardness,
Their courage and their truth;
To strive with sympathy and love,
Their confidence to win:
1t pays to open wide the heart,
And 'let the sunshine in."

The Farmer and his politics.

A few days since farmer from an adjoin-
ing county, visited one of our citizens, as
well known for his practical good sense as
for his calm and impartial consideration of
all subjects, and the following conversation
occurred:
"Well, neighbor, how will your people
vote, this Fall ?"
"Right smartly mixed up, think"
"How 500"
"You see, sir, the Malone people are tell
ing our reighbors that the present hard
times, low price of farm products, the
scarcity of money, ETC., are all attributable
to the election of a Democratic President
and the Democratic rule in the State of Vir-
ginia.''

good friend?"

interest appears, at present, to be languish-

folly of blaming and cursing the effect with
out looking at the cause"
GLOW SOP"
'Let me illustrate: Suppose you had rent
ed out your farm for the last twenty-five
years, and your rentor had plowed imper-
fectly; had allowed your land to become
CALLED, grown up in briers and generally
neglected, could you, IN taking charge of
that farm for one year, make as good, pro-
fitable and remunerative crops as you did
when the farm was clear of briers and
bushes and in as good heart as when you
leased it out?"
"Certainly notp'
"Then you ask the President to do with
thirty light States, to say nothing of the
Territories, in few months, what you have
been unable to do with small farm in a
single year,
"Well, these United States have been un-
der Radical rule for twenty-five years; cor
ruption, like the CALLED land, briers and
bushes, has destroyed the fertility of home
industry, and taxation, gathering its har-
vest from the sweat of the brow of the farmer
and the unceasing toll of the workingman
has produced the results you complain of.
Can you, my friend, expect "a Democratic
administration to do, without the aid of
Democratic legislation, with all the people,
and for all the interests under its control,
what you cannot do with your single farm?"
"Your reasoning has opened my eyes. l
am glad I talked with you. l now see the
deceit and sham of Northern Radicalism.
If don't warm up the Mahoneites when l
get home, who support the Northern Re-
publicans, and ask us to betray old Virginia
to their keeping, then hope | may never
raise another crop of tobacco"
That's right, my good friend. Health,
happiness and good crops to you, but don't
ever leave the honest tax-paying people OF
Virginia to herd with the black-and-tan
crew, headed by Malone, the double-dyed
raitor.-Danville Register.

THE LAND OF DREAMS.

Between the darkness and the dsy
A charmed pathway lies,
A shadowy, shining, my site way
That leads to paradise
A way through sunlit meadows set
With primrose and with violet.
Through valleys where the datfodils
Bend low to every breeze,
Across the mists, across the hills,
Beyond the fsrthest seas,
Beyond the sunsets golden bars,
Beyond the silence of the stars.
There is the Land of Long Ago,
And there, the woods among
The Summer winds are soft and low,
The Summer light Is long,
And Love Is lord of leafy ways
Through all the golden Summer days.
Ah me! that happy land of dreams
Inever more shall find;
The music of its woods and streams
Still haunts the wandering wind.
But care and memory ever wait,
rlame-sworded By the golden gate.
