The Perfume of FlomefA

Boxes of heliotrope, mignonette and p@nsies, placed in windows, will sweet- cn the air of all dwellings.
 The seamstress and all of the 1atoring classes should have sweet-scented plants blooming in their windows to keep the atmosphere fresh and pure, and act as disinfectant. We can also use the petals of roses, violets, piuks, tuberosss, etc., to produce sweet perfume for the parlor or .boudoir; and by the aid of modern science it can be very easily dons.
 Fill small, wide jar with ether, and use glass stopper, dipped in glycerine; to thoroughly exclude the air. Fill this jar with the fresh petals of any fragrant plant, cut after the dew is dry, and only the petals should be used but clusters of heliotrope can be cut of close to the stems. Ether pos- sesses the property of taking up the fragrant particles from flowers, and every day the old petals must be taken put and fresh ones added. Quantities of flowers are required, but when the ether is all evaporated, it will leave an essential oil of the flower, and three or four drops of 1t, added to deodorized alcohol, will give delicious extract.
 All delicious odors can be imprisoned in deodorized alcohol, which is made by Altering pure spirits through animal charcoal or bone black in powder. It can be used over many times, and a thick flannel bag, with a wire run around the top, will make good filter. Fill it with bone black, and pour in the alcohol, hanging the bag over bowl, so that the liquid will drop into 1t. Take jars as described above and fill half full with the alcohol, and then fill up with peach leaves, lemon peel slices of pineapple, raspberries, cherries, straw berries-indeed, anything from which you may desire to extract essence, and you will have as fine an assortment of essences as the manufacturer can furnish you.-Househo1d.

Evolution of the Pointer Dog.

M. Pietremont has recently read a paper before the Archaeological soci- ety of Paris, on the origin and evolution of the pointer dog, in which he states that fourteen species of house and hunt ing dogs are to be recognized on the monuments of Egypt Assyria and Nine veh. But neither on these monuments nor in the works of Greek or Roman writers which he has exhaustively searched, are there any indications that pointers and settlers existed as separate dogs before now.

Meadows of Rest.

Meadows Of Rest I remember the beautiful meadows And their sweet streams purling claar, With flowers besprent where my young
 days were spent,
 Where the birds their nurslings rear, was sheltered then in the dear home nest, Where my feet turned oft to the me adows of
 rest.
 I remember grave in those meadows Where slumbered a laughing eyed boy; Death found him at play, he lured him
 away, And with him went half our joy. We moulded the turf that his feet had And kept his grave green in the meadows of
 rest. remember Q silver-haired father, Who walked by the river wave To watch tie reeds grow, or the sweet
 waters flow,
 Or to muse by that little grave. He has passed long ago to the homo he loved
 best,
 To the infinite peace of Gcd's meadows of Iwonder if green are those meadows If purling and clear are the streams If the moon shines as bright, if the stars
 give such light As they did in my youths happy dreams, Oh, angels of destiny, heed my request: Give me back, give me back my dear mead

with his sword. The final struggle was half hidden in cloud of dust, during which, as contemporary tradition re- ports, he was recognized by British officer, who wrested d musket from soldiers hand and shot him.
 He fell dead about sixty yards from the redoubt, his hand mechanically cov- ering the wound in the back of his head.
 It was not far from this very hour, about four o'clock in the afternoon, that the people of Salem first heard the can- nonade from the direction of Boston, fourteen miles distant, aud, as darkness came on, the light from burning Charles town became visible there. .-..
 Doctor John Warren, brother of the hero, was then just beginning practice at Salem. He heard the cannon; he saw the light of the confagration; and soon came news, imperfect and con- fused, of what had taken place that day near Boston. He heard that great num- bers had fallen, and that his brother Joseph had probably been in the engage ment.
 After few hours rest he started at the first rsak of dawn, about two in the morning, and rode to Medford, where he received the certain news that his brother was among the missing. All that day, and for several days, he went about Cambridge and adjacent places inquiring for his brother; sometimes hearing that he was alive and we'll; sometimes that he had been wounded :; and, sometimes, that he had fallen on the field.
 He was almost beside himself with anxiety and apprehension. One day, in his overmastering desire for news of his brother's fate, he pressed by senti nel, who gave him a sharp thrust with his bayonet, inflicting wound, the scar of which he carried to his grave. Many days passed before he learned to certainty that his brother had fallen dead upon the field, and had been bur- jed where he fell.
 Nine months after, when the post on Bunker Hill was abandoned by the British, Dr. John Warren, accompanied by his brother Eben, was guided by an Englishman to his brothers burial place, from which he was disinterred, and carried in solemn procession, with military and masonic escort, to the Kings Chapel in Boston.
 Many interesting relics of Jose ph Warren are preserved. One is small psalm book taken out of his pocket by a British soldier on the field. His sword is s i'll in the posses sion of his family, and there is some reason to believe that the very bullet which pierced his brain has been identified. Ills father h,s living descendants, and the family ranks among the most distinguished in Massa- chusetts, after having given several highly accomplished members to the medical profession. - Youths Compan- | lOl1.
