ONE PERFECT DAY.

lie, half in sun, half In shadow,
Near to the warm carth's heart,
Watching the naples branches
over me close and part.
STEPPED in delicious languor
As child is lullCd to sleep,
My soul seems closer TO heaven
Than its crling owner can keep.
The far-off hills Of the Moosic
Rise thro' Il golden haze,
Misty and dim as are phantOms
Fading from mortal gaze.
Above me the sapphire hollow
FlcckCd by the clouds, like foam;
Beyond me, the grassy rippcs;
And hid by the maplcs-my home.
And feel the suns warm kisses
Burn on my lips like winei
Could lovers kiss be sweeter
or tendcrcr, more divine?
The pulse that has throbbcd so strongly
Is even and strong to-day,
While yesterdays griels and pleasures
Seem a century away.
No feeling of duh oppression,
No weight as of tears mshed;
My heart is rs light and careless
As the white clouds overhead.
Only the peace of the present
over me softly lies
And think that earth has moments
Borrowed from Paradise.
Closing my eyes, fancy
That am child again,
And "a melody, soft and dreamy
St to an old refrain
Comes TO me through the distance
Ofycars, aS feel once more
That sol seems nearer and dearcr
1hm ever he did before.
My mbcliyl is forgotten,
Tie fear that lie did not care
For such ~ ] am,-thc doubling
That led to blank despair.
Only chiid's blind trusting
That lie win lead me Alright
Out of the maze Uf darkness
Into Tic way Of light.
Haf in the sun, half in shadow,
Wrapped in I Joy untold,
Where the sunlight Sits thro' the bran,
Mingling with green and gold,
Stepped in delicious languor
Asa child is lulled to rest,
My Soul drifts out toward the future
Finding peace IN its quest.

LEGENDS.
Upon What Principle Are They to BE
Explained?

One principle of explaining what
seems at first sight purely irrational in
the legends and customs OF the world
has been established, and a wider ac-
quaintance with the traditions and Gus
toms of the various races of mankind
has only served to confirm it-namely,
that there is something in the very
nature of language, and of custom too,
which favors the growth Of what seems
irrational In order to rouse opposition
and attention, ventured many years
ago to call mythology disease of Ian
guage," though am quite willing TO
admit that it might have sounded more
philosophical to call it modification,
an affection Of language, so as to ex-
clude the idea that such a modification
was always change for the worse. 1t
might have sounded still more philo-
sophical if | had said that ''the ex-
preston of our ideas is dependent on
the capabilities of each language,
and that it is hardly possible, in giving
utterance to our meaning, to avoid using
words which language has coined to
express more or less cognate thought"
might also have adopted the meta
phorical language of ethnologists and
Psychologists and called these various
and but half ineligible myths and
customs survivals, considering that in
many cases disease also is the effect of
survival or of the existence within orr
physical organism of something that
ought to have been assimilated, digested
and carried off, instead of remaining as
a strange or hard element beyond the
time when it was wanted. What we
must hold fast, however, is that every
myth and legend was at first an in
telligible utterance or an Ineligible
thought. When Greeks or Melanesians
spoke of the night as covering, hiding
or swallowing everything, and particu-
larly the sun or the day, there was
Nothing irrational in it, at least hardly
hore than when we say that nights
follow one another, instead of saving
that they are successive joint effects of
the earth's revolution round its axis.
But when that saying survived after the
names given to night, sun and day had
ceased to be Ineligible, then the
Melanesian story that Gong (night)
came creeping up from the sea and that
after time Qat cut the darkness open
with piece of red obsidian till the
dawn came out, had become unintelli-
gible and may be called myth.

CLEAN HANDS.
The Startling Crop of Micro-Organi
Raised Upon Fair Hands.

The Startling Crop of Micro Organisms
Raised Upon Fair Hands.
According to the fearful experiments
of DR.. Forster, of the Italian Medical
Gazette, there is no such thing as the
possibility of clean hands on anybody.
Washed with soap and water, with car
bolic acid, with all and any of the dis
lnTectants in common use, our hands
will still remain scientifically unclean;
that is to say that preparation called
sterilized gelatine, absolutely destitute
OF living organisms, ON being touched
by the fingers thus washed and sup
posed to be clean, Immediately devel-
ops living organisms acquired from
the fingers. But if the hands are
washed in dilute solution of bichloride
of mercury, or corrosive sublimate, one
part to one thousand parts of water,
perfect cleanliness is attained. and no
living organisms will be developed by
the touch of the fingers, 1t is pitiful
to think that we are really so palpably
made of the dust of the earth; out it
seems that we must endure it, since
corrosive sublimate can hardly be
made the adjunct of our daily toilettes,
and if it We're, then the next time we
shook hands, or took up q book, or
went into the street, we should but de-
velop fresh crop of heterogeneous.
The fact is that these discoveries of
science show us, if they do nothing
else, how fearfully and wonderfully we
are made, and, if we regarded them
seriously, there is nothing we could
eat and nothing we could do which
would not make death seem to hang
imminent in the air. There is one
refuge for the unscientifc and that is
in whistling the whole matter down
the wind, keeping clean to the best of
belief and thus taking care of ones
self, letting the Heterogeneous take
care of themselves. -Hdrper'S Bazaar.

SAFETY MARKS.
How Bank Checks Can BE Made a
Perfectly Safe Circulating Medium.

How Bank Checks Can Be Made a
Perfectly Safe Circulating Medium.
An important and valuable invention
is a check protector. The machine is
small hand arrangement that punches
a series of small round holes through
the paper, forming figures, with large
stop holes at each end. Chlorine will
remove writing ink and leave the paper
free from discoloration, so that larger
amount can then be written in without
detection. Even tinted checks are
operated on quite as easily as plain or
water-lined ones. 1t is fact very well
known to all rogues, and should be to
all business men, that enclosing several
rows of small uniform points on the
face of a check, instead of af'ording
protection, positively renders fraudu-
lent alteration more easy and detection
more difficult, as, after moistening, the
raised points can easily be rubbed down
with q paper holder, the ink removed
and replaced, and the dies of another
stamp of the same make carefully
worked into the same ruptures, covering
all defects and restoring the genuine
appearance. But once let the figures
be perforated through the paper, the
portions displaced being removed with
ut mutilating or weakening the check
and then your amount is unalterably
fixed upon the cheeky. Y. Nal ard

CURING HAMS.
The Famous Recipe Used by Mrs. Henry
Clay for Curing Meats.


The following is the famous recipe
used by Mrs. Henry Clay for curing
hams. several hogs heads of which were
annually sent to Boston, where under
the name of ashland hams" they
commanded the highest price, especially
among the wealthy Wings of that city.
For every ten hams of moderate size
she took three and one-half pounds of
fine salt, one pound of saltpeter and
two pounds of brown sugar, and after
mixing them thoroughly together,
rubbed the hams Herewith on either
side. They were then packed in
tight box and placed in q cool clubhouse
for about three weeks, when the hams
were taken out and put in picking
tub or hogshead and covered with brine
strong enough to swim an egg. After
remaining in the pickle for about three
weeks, they were taken out, rubbed
with fresh salt, and hung up in a we'll
ventilated house for few days to dry,
after which they were transferred to
the smoke-house, where they were hung
up and smoked with green hickory or
walnut wood until they had acquired
the color of bright mahogany, when
each ham was sewed up in canvas, the
coverings whtewashed, and hung up
to dry, after which they were white
washed again and packed away in hogs
heads with hickory ashes, until wanted
either for home use or sending to
