ALpENA ARGUS
MISCELLANEOUS.
THE DESERTED WIFE.

The UESEHTEU WIFE.
Can forget the long. long years
I've looked for him in vain,
And with the love Of other days.
Receive him back againl
Can forget the cold neglect
That has turned my soul TO ice'
Oil no, that thing can never be;
Away with such advice.
Note well the pallor on my cheek.
The burrows on my brow.
Think you that time has placed them there,
That am aged nowl
Think you that three score years have pass'd
Since first saw the light
Alasl alasl I'm young in years,
His falsehood caused this blight.
And say you stiil should forget,
And cast this all aside,
And take him back with heart as light
As when was his bride;
And nestle fondly In his arms
As was won't to do,
And lean my head upon the heart
know TO be untruei
Oil little know you Of the past.
Or surely you would scorn
To ask that would now forget
The deep wrong have borne.
A wrong for which he can't atone.
Not even with his life;
But I'll forgive,-ask nothing more
From DESERTED WIFE.

"I'm really afraid, dearest Charley,
that there's a great disappointment

The colonel had sat down in q

Before the slow and ponderous
steps Of the approaching visitor
could reach the room, Aunt Ha
had thrust the photograph into
Blossoms hand.
She had had the little triumph
which was all she wanted. Tha
last case of diamonds from Judge
Flostroy had settled the question.

Two hours afterwards the younl

Keeping Eggs.
American Agriculturist.

How 10 keep eggs fresh is a question
that should be prominent in the minds of
poultry keepers 1t may. perhaps. be OBJ
jected thHt an egg cannot be preserved so
as TO retain the natural delicacy of flavor
of a really fresh egg, which soon passes
away. Still eggs can be preserved in q man
ner TO leave them excellent eating, and
hardly distinguishable from fresh ones, ex-
be kept for few weeks only the matter is
very easily arranged, cool place being all
that is necessary, together with a board
pierced with holes just large enough TO let
the eggs stand upright without passing
through. Upon this board the eggs should
be placed. broad end downward, so that the
air space may not enlarge to the same eX-
tent as when the reverse way, as there
would not be the same evaporation OF
moisture from the egg. Wire latticing, IL
well galvanized, can be substituted with
advantage for this board or shelf. In Ger
many eggs are kept sweet for considerable
periods by being buried in fresh bran; or
preparation of lime and water is made by
adding twenty gallons of water to four gal
Ions of fine slaked lime 10 which about a
gallon of salt is added. When the water
has taken up as much of the lime as Ii can
possibly dissolve immerse the eggs in the
liquid so that they are quite covered, about
two or three inches OF water intervening
between the outer air and the topmost lay
er. A little lime must be added now and
again, as the old lot loses it's strength or
gets absorbed. Too much. however. should
not be added else the whole may turn into
a solid mass. Water should also be poured
in occasionally, the quantity gradually
becomes reduced by the steady absorption
