The Voiceles5.

We count the broken Tyres that st
Where the sweet, wailins singers SUM
le:,
But o'ei. their silent sisters breast
The wild flowers who will stoop to mum
ber2 ~
A few can. touch the magic string.
And noisy Fame is proud to win them
Alas for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them!
Nay. grieva not for the dead alone.
Whose song has told their hearts sgd
story:
Weep for the voiceless who have known
The cross without the crown of glory!
Not where Leucadian breezes sweep
Ger Sappho's memory-haunted billow,
But where the glstening night dews weep
On nameless sorrows chuIchyard pillow.
o, hearts that break and give no sign
Save whitening lip and fading tresses.
Till death hours out his longedfor wine,
Slow-dropped from Misery's crushing
presses:
If singing breath or echoing chord
To every hidden pang were given.
What endless melodies We're poured,
As sad as earth. as sweet as Heaven.

Two Rooms in One.

One large room is preferable to two
small ones and good arrangement fol
making the two rooms into one is to
have the wall removed between the
two and erect a half wall one foot
thick, with pillars marking Off the di-
viding line. These thick walls can be
converted into attractive book shelves
Palms, ferns and other flowers wher
arranged upon the shelf top give 3
homelike appearance to the two rooms
This is one late method of remodelins
rooms in old houses, and all such ar
rangements' ere neat. The wall car
be built of wood or cement. If the lat
ter, the cement is glazed and marked
off the same as tile. Of left plain to be
painted, which is less expensive. AS
interior decorations change with other
styles, the latest idea is to have all
interior woodwork finished with oil
Oil-finished furniture is bright, but
woodwork in the house should have g
dull, rich appearance.

Virtue of CheerfuIress.

Comparatively few persons possess
uniformly cheerful dispositions. Most
| of us have our sad hours and moods.
But whatever his disposition, man is
bound by the laws of his own being
ana by those of his social relations
to cultivate the virtue of cheerfulness
assiduoCsly and constantly.
He has no more right to injure his
neighbours happiness than to interfere
with his pecuniary property, and he
can not indulge in venting his ill hum
or and spleen, with gloomy forebod-
|ings and complaints, or even carrying
a sad, sour, frowning visage, without
sensibly diminishing the enjoyment or
comfort of others, and thus infringing
on their rights.
Any individual who tries to do so
can win himself from dependency
Iand surliness. The power of enjoy
ment is in itself a faculty capable Of
Improvement, and as practice always
enhances power. it is a good thing to
not true that the sources of pleasure
are few and rare, but it is sadly true
| that we pass them unoticed.
| we crave the excitement OF business,
or politics, or Fashionable life and
forget the world of innocent enjoy
ment we tramDle under foot. Nature
and art offer their treasures in vain:
the loneliness of childhood, the at
| fractions of home, the real satisfaction
of honest labor, the simple pleasure of
| little things, all plead for utterance,
and we repulse them.
How can We possess q cheerful spirit
and a glad heart when we scornfully
despise our simple pleasures. Every
innocent means of happiness should
be welcomed, and gloomy thoughts
persistenlly banished.
For a small child who has not vet
learned to walk. a creeping rug made
of eiderdown, flannel or double
thickness of canton flannel is useful
and will add much to the little ones
| comfort These rugs can be made of
any suitable size, and Ornamented with
appliqued animals or dolls, of con-
trasting colorS, cut from magazines
CT printed fabrics, to hold the chiid's
attention and interest sufficiently to
keep it contentedly there, and out of
mischief

Reopening House For the Winter.

A house that has been closed all
summer requires much care to get ii
in condition for the winter. If this is
not taken i'll health may result fer
months withc ut any one guessing the
cause.
Do rot expect a house to be ready
for winter by just opening doors and
windows. 1t should be thoroughly
aired for at least three days to get out
musty dampness.
If there are babies or invaliGs III
the family it is well to start the fur
mace for day as an extra pre"aution.
1t will also be good time to zee if
the furnace is drawing. Such things
should be attended to before shutting
a house, but must be looked after at
once if cold weather is not to catch
you unprepared.
If weather permits, leave windows
open night and day during the clean
ing. Ordinary airing is not sufficient
This is especially essential for the cell
lar, which quickly grows musty
If there is stale smell that will
not yield to ordinary freshening burn
formaldehyde candle-it is good
precautiOn at any time.
Pour disinfectant down all the drain
pipes of the house and run off the
water from every faucet for half :,
day; some etra careful housekeepcrs
say 1t must run for a full day.

Home Cheese Making.

Some one asked last year for & re-
oipe for making cheese. I'll tell how
"a lady taught me to make it. l had
good success: don't be afraid to try
First prepare things. Get a vessel, a
new tub or large jar. which ought to
hold six or eight gallons Then you
must have a press-a peck or half
peck measure, according to the size of
the cheese wanted. You must have a
good strong lever or heavy weight q

ing milkings. Be sure you put nights
milk in cool place. 1t must be sweet
when used. Strain mornings milk in
a vessel and put on to heat, out don't
let it boil. Now skim nights milk,
saving the cream out. Turn your
milk in your vessel. The mornings
milk should be hot enough to make all

cream and stir up good. 1 used an
egg beater to stir Ga wire one). The

squeak when you cnew it. Dip off all
| the whey you can. 1t is ready for salt
now be careful not to salt too much.
You can add sage if you like. Put a
lcheesecloth over your press; press the

Lost Pennies.

Millions upon millions of pennies

These disappear from circulation very
mysteriously. Can it be that the pop
