The Bloom OF Youthful Purity.

Over the plum and apricot there
may be seen 4 bloom and beauty
more exquisite than the fruit itself-a
soft, delicate flush that overspreads
its blushing cheek. Now, if you
strike your hand over that it is gone
forever, rof it never grows but once.
The flower that hangs in the morn
ing, impaired with dew, arrayed
with jewels-once shake it SO that the
beads roll oi>, aatf you may sprinkle
water over it as you please, yet it
can never be made again what it was
when the dew fell Lightly On it from
heaven.
On a frosty morning you may see
the panes Of glass covered with land
sCapes, mountains, lakes and trees,
blended in a beautiful fantastic pic
ture. Now, lay your hand on the
glass, and by the scratch of your
finger, or the warmth Of the palm,
all the delicate tracery will be i'm
mediately obliterated. So in youth
there is a purity of character which,
when once touched and dehled, can
never be r~estoredr-a fringe more
delicate than frost work. and which,
when torn and broken, will never be
re"embroidered.
A man who has spotted and soiled
his garments in youth, though he may
seek to make them white again, can
never wholly do it, even were he to
wash them with his tears. When a
young man leaves his fathers house :,
with the blessing Of his mothers tears
still wet upon his forehead, if he once
loses thu. early puaity of character,
it is a loss he can never make whole
again. Such is the consequence of
crime. Its effects cannot be era
dictated, they can only be forgiven.

The Charm OF the Home.

1t is not the house. though that
may have its charms: nor the fields
carefully tiled. and streaked with
your own lootpaths; nor the trees
though their shadow be to you like
that of a great rock in a weary land
nor yet is it the Preside, with its
sweet blaze play: nor the pictures,
which tell of loved ones; nor the
cherished books--but more far than
all these, it is the brrSrntr.-Ik.
Marvel.

How to Apply the Design

execute it satisfactorily. One is,
see that your material is level-cut
and folded by a thread--and that
your design is placed upon it evenly
at every point.
The second is, when placed accu-
rately, secure the design to the ma
terial with thumbtacks or pins SO
that they cannot slip during the
operation.
Transfer paper comes in white,
black, blue, red and yellow. l adj
wise the use of the lighter colors
when possible, as the black and blue
are SO liable to crock.
Do not rest your hand or fingers
upon any part of the design you are
transferring, else the imprint of
hand or fingers will be as distinct
upon the material as the drawn
lines of the design.

HERE arc two ways 10 apply
: this design to the material
upon which you wish to work it.
Ii your material is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawn, batiste
and the ike-the simplest method
Is to lay the material over the de-
sign and, with well-pointed pencil,
draw over each line.
Ii your material is heavy, secure
a piece of transfer or impression
paper. Lay it, face down, upon this;
then draw over each line of the
paper design with hard pencil or
the point of a steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans

accurate impression of the design
upon your material.
