Down from the chandelier there hung
A spray Of mistletoe.

A clear-may6ed line there ran;

An aureole divine;

MANI USES OF EGGS.

Eggs are q meal in themselves.
Every element that is necessary for the
support of man is contained within the
limits Of an egg-shell in the best pro-
portions and most palatable form.
Plain boiled they are wholesome. The
masters of French cookery, however,
affirm that it is easy to dress them in
5GG different ways, each method not
economical, but salutary in the highest
degree.
No honest appetite ever rejected an
egg in some guise. It is nutriment in
the most portable form and in the most
concentrated shape. Whole nations of
mankind rarely touch any other animal
food. Kings eat them plain as readily
as do the humble tradesmen. After the
battle of Muhidorf, when Kaiser Lud-
wild sat meal with his burggrafs and
great cantains, he determined on a
piece of luxury-"one egg to every man
and two to the excellently valiant
Schewpperman."
Far more than fish-for it is a watery
diet-eggs are the scholars fare. They
contain PHOSPHORUS, which is brain
food, and sulphur, which performs a
variety of functions in the economy.
And they are the best of nutriment for
children, for in a compact form they
contain everything that is necessary to
the growth of the youthful frame.
Eggs are, however, not only food-they
are medicine also. The white is the
most efficacious Of remedies for burns,
and the oil extracted from the yolk is
regarded by the Russians as an almost
miraculous salve for cuts, bruises, and
scratches.
A raw egg, if swallowed in time, will
effectually detach fshbone fastened
in the throat, and the whites of eggs
will render the deadly corrosive subli-
mate as harmless as a dose of calomel.
They strengthen the consumptive, in
vigorate the feeble, and render the most
susceptible all but proof against jaun-
dice in its most malignant phase. The
merits Of eggs do not even end here.
In France alone the wine CHARTERS use
more than 100000 year, and tire
Alsatians consume fully 3S,OOO,OOO in
calico printing and for dressing the
leather that is used in making the finest
French kid gloves. Even egg-shells
are valuable, for allopath and homeo-
path alike agree in regarding them as
the purest of the carbonate Of lime.

The originality and native precocity
youth are often lost in the automatic
drills OF the classroom. Ineipient talent
and genius must die ont in the mind of
the possessor from sheer lack of ap-
probation and sympathy on the part Of
those to whom the youth trustingly
looks for aid and encouragement. Per
haps it would be regarded RS eAtrava-
CANT to assert that the end of long
course of instruction leaves nine-tenths
OF the graduates wholly at the mercy OF
the world which they have been taught
to believe themselves fitted to enter and
conquer. They may soon discover
however, that the wide fields of ex-
perience and knowledge are yet before
them, and that the inclination and dis.
position for their further pursuit have
been left dull and apathetic by the
scholastic training received. Books anG

will you tell me your name?' he
asks, us they reach the opposite shore
and he helps her from the canoe.
MY real name is Annis Waldron, $
she replies; but among the Indians l
am known as The White Lily"
Stealthily-for danger may lurk be-
hind every tree OF rock, for aught they
know-they make their way through
the forest, and just as the sun appears
above the eastern horizon, they reach
the settlement of Warwick. on Nara
gansett Bay.
A year has passed; the final battle
between the English and King Philips
warriors has been fought at Mount
Hope, and thirty of King Philips men
were killed, and his wife and son
taken prisoners. King Philip barely
escaped with his life. and twenty days
later-August 22d--the wretched sa-
chem was shot by friendly Indian while
attempting to escape from swamp,
where he had sought to conceal himself
from his enemies.
The Southern tribes have surren-
dered, and they and the colonists are
at peace once more.
Harold Grayson was with Captain
Church when he surprised King Philip
at Mount Hope, August I'd; and four
weeks later we find him at the Warwick
settlement.
The grain is ripening in the fields
about the settlement; the bay, its sur
face unruffled by a ripple, lies spread
like great mirror, rejecting the luster
OF the MONDAY sun. Mrs. Benton
Harold's sisters busy preparing din
ner, and her husband is at work in the
field near by. Annis Waldron and
Harold are standing under huge chest
nut tree, near Mr.. Benton's log cabin,
contemplating the beauty Of the scene.
The quiet harmony of nature seems to
possess their souls, and for time neither
speaks. Harold is the first to break
the silence
"Apnis," he says, ut is little more
than year ago that I first saw you, and
we have met but few times since. In
the savages, with whom you have been
associated, have you not seen hate
and other strange passions develop in
a moment? Why, then, should
not love, in more appropriate soil
spring to life? 1t certainly has taken
deep root in my heart. I have loved
you ever since that night that we es-
capped from the Indians on the island,
though. I did not then realize it. Give
me- some answer, if it he but hope de-
ferred. Will you-can you ever love
me we'll enough to be my wife,"
I have loved you ever since I saw
you brought to my island prison, help

hand in his.
