unpretentious Dixie, the propensity

straint. | had never seen anything
like this disposition to plumber. Our
perilOus situation only seemed to

same time, anything more lulicrous
than the manner in which they in
dulged their predatory tastes can
scarcely be imagined. The weather
was intensely warm-the hot July
sun burned the earth to powder, and
we were breathing super-heated dust
yet one man rode for three days
with seven pairs of skates slung
his neck; another loaded himselfwith
sleighbells. A large chatting dish. a
medium-sized Dutch clock, a green
glass decanter, with goblets to match,
a bag of horn buttons, a chandelier,
and a bird-cage containing three
canaries, were some of the articles

The officers usually waited a reason

What n cheerful influence there is in
a well-lighted rooml Itseems togive
a different expression to each article
of furniture, as it does to the counte-
nance, bringing out the soft tints of
the pictures and draperies, making
eyes sparkle and rosy cheeks glow in
its mellow rays, and rejecting bright.
ness over all. On the other hand.
what a depressing effect there is in a
room dimly lighted An atmosphere
of gloom pervades everything. No
one seems inclined to talk or work
and everyone is literally cast in the
shade, when often it may be remedied
by little more attention from the
housekeeper. If kerosene is used, il
may become muddy, and the basin
OF the lamp requires emptying occa-
sionally, or the chimneys need wash
ing, and wicks to be trimmed or the
burners cleaned.
If the gas is poor and fiickers, it is
far better to use lamps tor sewing or
reading, as nothing can be more in-
furious to the eyes than attempting
any work by poor light. Whether
it is a matter of economy or indifier-
ence rs imniatefia1, but there arf
many rooms where the family asseni-
bles in the evening, where the light is
so dim and suggestive Of n sick room
that it is n positive relief when the
visit is over; and one can but won
der why people are so constituted
that they cannot appreciate the adj
vantage of n clear and shining light,
which renders many a home attrac-
tive, and often brightens a gloomy
hour in life.-[Good Housekeeping.
