Moths in Woolens and Furs.

Most persons think it necessary tt
hang their winter clothes in the oper
air before packing them away for the
summer. Experience has taught us
that this method is not only useless
but injurious. The clothes certainly
DO not need airing, having been in use
all winter-most OF them out OF doors
and a moments reflection will con.
vince any n that clothing thus ex.
posed is o than likely to be seized
upon by the tiny moth millers which
fly about in such numbers during early
spring. Winter clothing should be
thoroughly brushed Immediately be-.
fore being packed away, as it is liable
to receive the germs of destruction il
allowed to lie about for e'sn a few
minutes, and If tho tiny eggs OF the
moth are once deposited. we put them
comfortably away in the trunks with
the clothes, and irreparable mischief
is set on foot. Gum eamphor is the
best thing to put with the clothing,
and about a pound OF it should be used
in each trunk, but the most essential
part OF the whole proceeding is the
brushing. All WOODEN garments that
are worn during the summer-shawls,
jackets. gowns, etc-should be taken

AN OLD MAID.

Gray hair softly, smoothly parting
Ger a brow where sorrow lies;
Eyes pathetic in their sadness,
Eyes that shame you from your gladness,
Tender, honest, wistful eyes;
And two lips where smiles are rarer TIL
the sudden feeting signs.
Two worn hands forever busy,
Toiling all the morning long.
When glad human souls are smiling
Underneath the sunshine, wiling
Idle hours with their song;
And no conscience voice is calling, tellin
them that they are wrong.
Thus I sec her ever sitting,
Thro' the morn, and when the night
Der the earth and sea is breaking.
When the myriad stars are waking.
Ileaving, thrObbing into sight,
And when other mortals wander hand i
hand beneath the light,
Peradventure when the silence
Hath grown stronger. and the gloom
Deepens into purple splendor;
When the moon,Queen's crescent slender ~
Der the hill begins TO loom
Then her grtefs, thro' dayt me masked
darker, drearer shapes assume.
So when other souls are near rs,
And the sun falls on the dial,
Do We mask our faces closely,
And we laugh out braveIy-lnOstlv
When a sob lies meath our smile:
But when night shades hide US Silly, We can
; weep a little while.
Then her heart-ache gins to waken.
For she is SO lone $50 lone
All poor lips that lack the clinging
o. warm kisses, and the ringing
OF child-laughter is unknown
To this woman Stating silent when the eve
to night hath grown.
Where she stitch It's most quiet,
No small print Of feet is there;
No dropped toy, child hands have broken;
No love speeches, no love token;
No glad laughter here nor there.
All. poor heart ne'er stirred to throbOIng by
a footstep on the stair.
DO You say, you happy mothers
With your children at your side,
That this woTnan's life is wasted
Just because she has not tasted
OF Loves cup? Because the tide
OF her mother love strikes inward and
is left unsatisfed?
Wastcd' Yes, this heart, this woman
Makes no mOrtal's Paradise.
Al her leaving none grow sadder,
And no tender soul is gladder
For the brightnlng OF her eyes.
What oer-watchful heart is burdencd for
the falling of her slghs'
WaSted' Yes, the tender romance
Ofher youthful days is dead;
Evermore the sweet tale ended,
Where such JOY and grief were blended:
Love from out her life hath fed,
But BE all the mourners blessed" Jesus
Christ dtvinely SAID.
