The Old HymD-BOOk.

Yes, wife, we're going to move once morej
The last time, declare,
Until the everlasting shore
Sends word it wants us there!
Some things this time with us we'll take,
Some leave here in disgust,
And some we'll lose and some we'll break,
AS movers always must.
The family Bible we will find
Devoutly carried through;
But, Also wife, don't fail to mind
And save that hymn book too.
Though finger-marked and cupboard-worn,
And shabby in its looks,
prize that volume, soiled and torn,
Next to the Book of books.
When David trimmed his golden Tyre
With song forget me-nots
He left flame of sacred fire
For Wesley and for Watts.
And many other singers, wife,
Have made Gods glory known
In hymns and tunes that drew their life
From echoes round the throne.
I've sung them when on lofty track
My heart scared through the sky,
And every word and tone brought back
A telegraph reply:
I've hummed them when my soul with grief
Feared all its prayers in vain
Till they have braced up my belief
And soothed my doubling pain.
I've told them to the woods and stirred
The trees up to rejoice;
I've joined in meetings where God heard
Ten thousand in one voice;
I've paused these sacred words to hear
When life was gay and bright,
And every sound that charmed the ear
Brought glory to the sight;
I've heard them when the sections spade
Had cut my life in two,
And my sad heart by their sweet aid
Has walked the valley through.
All, wife, when heavens great music burst
Awakes my senses dim,
humbly hope they'll give me first
A good old.fashioned hymn.
l trust when our last moving day
Has shown us Gods good love,
And we have settled down to stay
In colonies above,
Well find hundred earthly things
Our hearts had twined about,
And which-so tight the memory clings-
Heaven wouldn't be heaven without;
And somewhere in that blessed place
God grant may behold,
Near by the precious Word of grace,
Ny hymn-book bound in gold.

Potato Omelet.

Put into a stewpan, with enough
boiling water to cover them, four pared
potatoes of good size, and cook for half
an hour. Drain off all the water and
mash the potatoes until smooth and
light. Now add teaspoonful of salt,
one-fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper, a
heaping tablespoonful of butter, half a
teaspoonful of finely chopped parsley,
few drops of onion juice, and half a
gill of hot milk. Beat the mixture
with fork until quite light.
Put tablespoonful of butter in a
frying.pan and on the fire. When the
pan is hot and the butter is melted,
press the prepared potato through a
vegetable press or colander into the
pan, and smooth the surface over
lightly without pressing the potato
down. Cover the pan and cook until
the omelet is brown, which will be in
about twenty minutes. Fold over, turn
out on hot dish and serve at once

A Lazy Though Shrewd Fellow.

Tulkinson-a barrister and bachelor
combined, by the way-is very sys-
tematic man. The other day he had his
house fitted with electrical appliances,
and giving instructions to his servant
Joseph, he said:
"Now want you to understand,
Joseph, that when | ring once that
means for you, and when ring twice
that means for Maggie, the housemaid."
Joseph, who is the LATEST wretch that
ever accepted wages he did not earn,
bowed respectfully and withdrew. A
little later the bell rang. Joseph never
moved Presently it rang again, and
according to instructions Maggie came
hurrying to her master, who was very
angry.
"Why didn't that rascal, Joseph, come
when | rang for him?" said the bar
rister bachelor disgustedly.
"Why, SIR" answered Maggie, $40
seph is busy in the Office reading your
newspaper. When he heard the first
ring he said to me, Now, Maggie, wait
until he rings the second time, and then
it will be you he wants."

The Effect of Clay's Eloquence.

The Rev. Robert j. Breckenridge, the
eminent Presbyterian divine and father
of Colonel w. G. p. Breckenridge, the
eloquent Kentucky Congressman, was
az mitted to the bar and practised law
for several years before he entered upon
the ministry. The celebrated orator,
Tom Marshall, was his cousin, and used
to tell with much glee how he and
Cousin Bob Breckenridge, as he always
called him, were once engaged on the
same side of lawsuit in which Henry
Clay, then in his prime, was opposed to
them. They were young, brilliant and
ambitious. They concluded that the
opportunity of their lives had come,
and they determined to improve it by
crushing Clay in argument and surpass-
ing him in eloquence. They wanted
to convince the people that, compared
to them, the Mill boy of the Slashes -
wasn't in it. Hence they prepared
themselves carefully for the ordeal,
like one who is to fight for his life.
They elaborated their argument, forth
flying it with apt and cogent quotations
from the books, and they FURNISHED
their eloquence until it glittered and
glistened with gems of wit and satire,
and weighted it with logic and learning.
The great day arrived at last, as days
great or small have habit of doing.
The case was called, and in due time
Breckenridge and Marshall spoke. They
dazzled the big audience which had
gathered to witness this battle of intel
lectual giants, for there is nothing a
true Kentuckian enjoys more than a
contest between rival orators. Men
shook their heads, and whispered to
their neighbors that they couldn't see
how Harry Clay could beat Bob Brock
inridge and Tom Marshall. At this
point in the story Marshall would al
ways pause, thus rendering the climax
more effective, and then facing his
audience would exclaim:
But at last it came Clay's turn.
With one stroke of his mighty paw the
old lion swept away our arguments like
chaff, and the food of eloquence which
fell from his lips completely drowned
ours. That speech of Clay's drove Bob
to the pulpit and me to the bottle. y

To Prevent Moths.

The most destructive of the house
hold pests is the moth, and the princi-
pal requisite for protection against it is
promptness and care. The best way to
protect garments from the ravages of
this busy creature is to wrap them in
newspapers, being very careful to leave
not even the slightest crack by which a
miller may find its way in. This should
be done as early in the season as the
garments can be spared, and they should
be well beaten and brushed before
wrapping, in order to dislodge any eggs
that may have been already deposited
on them. If they are put away late,
it is safer to open them some time
during July. The worm will then be
Matched, if any eggs had CHANGED to be
left in the garments, and can be easily
seen and killed before it does any
damage.
Cedar chests are of no more use in
keeping out moths than any other tight
box. Gum camphor is sometimes put
among wooden garments, and tobacco is
also used; but though these may have
some effect in keeping the miller away
they are not always safeguards, and
the surest way is the simplest; that of
wrapping the garments so that nothing
can gain an entrance. To keep them
out of carpets, sprinkle the floor with
turpentine or benzine before laying the
carpet, and with small, fiat paint
brush apply freely under the surbase
and in all the cracks. Benzine poured
over furniture and carpets where moths
are will kill them. Great care should
be taken not to use the benzine near a
flame of any kind, and there should be
no flame or fire in the room until the
fumes have passed away.-Demorest's
MdQdzine.

Care of Silver.

Once every week silver should be
thoroughly polished. First clean with
electro-silicon, or any perfectly smooth
powder, mixed with little alcohol and
water. Rub with soft cloths or channels,
and use soft brush where necessary.
Sometimes it is impossible to get all
the powder out of tracery and fligree
work. In that case, hold under boiling
water and dry quickly. If you have a
Vienna coffeepot, Bonares brass trays,
or similar articles to clean, rub first
with electro.silicon and a mixture of
one-half lemon juice and one-half
water. Then polish with hard silver
rouge.
To keep the polish of your tables in
order, have mixture of one-half tur-
pentine and one.half olive oil. Wash
the wood with clear water, or water in
which little borax has been dissolved.
Never rub soap on polished wood.
Rub little of the oil and turpentine
on with a flannel cloth. Polish with a
clean flannel.-GoOd Housekeeping.

Humble Him.

A story is told of High Church
bishop who was very much opposed to
anyone praying without book. AS he
was riding out on certain day his
horse took fright, ran away, threw his
rider, and broke the bishops leg. The
bishop was in great pain and in fear of
dying, and called for some one to pray
with him. There was another Chris
tian man, one John Rodgers, who lived
near by, who was sent for, and as he
saw the situation of the prelate he was
deeply affected. The burden of his
prayer was as follows: "Seeing you
have taken the bishop in hand to hum
BILE him, o Lord make thorough work.
If breaking one leg won't answer, o
Lord break t'other, too"

BENJAMIN Franklin.

BY his manners and ways of life he
became the most popular man in France,
so that when he gained his presentation
to the king his future was assured. AS
he passed through the streets of Paris,
he was followed by admiring eyes, and
cheered loudly by enthusiastic voices.
A contemporary writes: A friend of
mine paid something for place at a
two-pair-of-stair window to see him
pass by in his coach, but the crowd was
so great that he could but barely say he
saw him. He was the Frenchman's
embodiment of the ideal citizen, re-
publican, philosopher and friend. He
completely captivated and captured the
people of France, whom he perfectly
understood, and he well knew "that a
popular man soon becomes more power
full than power itself" Condorcet said:
1T was an honor to have seen him.
People repeated what they had heard
him say. Every fete which he consented
to receive, every house where he con-
sented to go, spread in society new adj
mirers, who became so many partisans
of the American revolution. "-Century.

How to Sit i'm Rowing.

Seat in boat when rowing is an i'm
portant matter, as much depends on it
in producing good form, style, and
ability to use the strength so that it will
yield the best results. The general
rule is to sit from two and half to
three inches from the after part of the
thwart, with face square to the front,
the knees bent slightly and about foot
apart, and the feet placed firmly, with
heels close together and toes sloping or
turned out, straight before one, again st
the stretcher, which serves as brace
in pulling. If the seat is square, one
will pull squarely, provided he keeps
the square attitude, which is impera-
tiye.-Dem0rest's Maqazine.

sorted to to assist digestion and crafty
the already over stimulated appetite.
The desire for stmulants among the
very poor is increased, no doubt, by in
sufficient nourishment, but the intelli-
gent people must think for the unthink-
ing, and as soon as wholesome food and
drink are the fashion for the more in
telligent class, there will be change in
every class.
Still, incorporate eating and drinking
are not the only Incorporate habits that
seem to be part of our social fabric.
There is an incalculable waste of feel
ing, of emotion, and will and the power
lost in these various channels of life
tells the whole story, if we would trace
ii back, of the undirected or misdirected
energy at the outset. A child whose
habits of eating, of sleeping, of dres-
sing, and of talking are controlled by
the real needs of life, and regulated
with taste and discretion, will never
need the good tffices of a temperance
society, nor legislation to save him from
ruin. His salvation was feregone con-
clusion, because all the possibilities of
his life were led in orderly activity to the
threshold of his conscious personality.
What we most need is to be saved
from ourselves, or, better to express
the same thing, to be lifted into our
best selves by adjusting the emotions,
appetites and tendencies when they are
plastic and can be moulded.
We are never brave, strong or just
until discipline has made us so. We
often believe ourselves all these because
we have not been tried enough to know
their want. And happy is that child
who has been guided from birth into
natures law so that his discipline has
been unconscious force until habits of
obedience to the right in mental, moral
and physical processes have become
character. Mrs. A. r. Aldrich, in
Hdrper'S Bdzar.

churchyard. And the secret was a
very simple one. The poor seamstress,
in garrett in one of the slums, while
she was embroideripg that garment,
looked upon a husband shivering in the
paroxysm of chills, and she took the
half.finished garment and laid it over
him; and the garment took up the
germs of fever, and conveyed them from
the howell of the poorest to the palace of
the statesman. And so we are bound to-
gether in one bundle of social life,
and if we neglect the poorest and the
lowest, society will avenge herself in
the destruction of the highest and the
richest and most cultivated Our

The Demand for Stimulants.

There is definite cause for the wide
spread demand for stimulants, reason
why alcoholic drink costs us yearly nine
hundred millions of dollars, while bread
costs about half as much; and philan-
thropists in this field, with host of
others, must continue with each sue
cessive generation the hopeless, almost
heart breaking, task of trying to help
those who will not or can not help
themselves, until we can understand
more of the wise planting and nurture
of that only in whose ripening and
ripened fruit we can rejoice.
George Henry Lewes, in his "Phys-
iology of Common Life" and some
others, claim that as the desire for slim
ulants is universal, it is evidently a
natural demand,
This reasoning is, think, unsound,
unless it can be proved that the demand
for stimulants antedates the mistakes
and errors of civilization, and is more
universal than these, which can hardly
be done.
Civilization means taking possession
of the forces of nature to serve our
pleasure and profit, and is, at first, more
concerned in possessing all that is pos
sible than in the careful discrimination
of how these forces can serve us best.
The work of reconsideration comes
later Another generation must an
alyze the abundant supply and make
the finer adjustment.
The primeval man, required, probably,
no more than natures productions just
as they grew, and, like the undomes-
ticated animals, might be left to eat
these when and as he chose; but when
agriculture has multiplied them indef-
nitely, and commerce has brought to
our doors the products of all climates,
and there is no end of skill in combin-
ing these, the natural result is that we
provide more than the body can dispose
of. And so alcoholic drinks are re.

Saved BY His Boots.

General Marriott tells, in his Mem
oirs," how his light boots once saved
him from being killed by Austrian
lancers. AT the battle of Eckmuhl he
was ordered by Marshal Lannes to con-
duct regiment of cuirassiers to point
where it was to charge a regiment of
Croats.
The French charged and annihilated
the Croats, but carrying their charge
too far, were in their turn repulsed by a
regiment of Austrian lancers. AS the
French retreated at gallop they came
to where Marriott was standing, his
horse having been killed Only few
hundred feet interviewed between the
lancers and the cuirassiers, and if Mar
bot had been left behind he would have
been killed.
Two mounted soldiers gave him their
hands, and thus, half lifted from the
ground, he bounded along, while they
galloped at rapid pace into their own
lines.
at was time for my gymnastic course
to end" he writes, ''for was complete
ly out of breath and could not have con-
tinued | learned then how inconven-
lent are the heavy long boots of the
cuirassiers in time of war, for young
officer in the regiment who, like me,
had his horse killed under him, and was
supported by two of his comrades on the
return gallop in the same manner was,
found himself unable to keep pace with
the horses on account of his heavy boots
He was left behind, and was killed by
an Austrian lancer, while escaped by
reason of my light boots"
