Something came out at the late meeting of
the Boston Baptist Association very unpleasant
TO read, and not agreeable to think about.
The Rev. DR.. Pollard alluded to the number of
disabled and wOrn-out Baptist ministers now in
the most distressed circumstances-the result,
of course, of the easy way in which pastoral
relations, in old times only loOsed by death,
are now dissolved partly through the fault of
the pulpits and partly through the fault of the
pews. DR.. Pollard spoke particularly of one Bap-
tist clergyman who not long since died pauper
in workhouse in Southern Massachusetts,.
This is not only shameful but shabby, and
would furnish about as good an argument as
any opponent of the voluntary system could
desire The Association was SO moved by the
recital that it raised 500 on the spot-which
will support one broken-down minister about
six months

The DILEMMA OF RECONSTRUCTION.
The N. Y. Herald says The Southern
States were required to ratify the ffteeth
amendment as condition of restoration to
the Union. As they could not be trusted
to come in and then ratify it. they ratified
first and then came in. They were, there
fore, not in the Union when they acted on
the constitution, or else they were never
out of the Union. Either, then, all the
reconstruction laws of Congress are inva-
lid, or these Southern ratifications of the
fifteenth amendment are invalid. If the
States were in the Union there was no
need to admit them, and if they were not
in the Union they could not participate in
making laws for States that are in.

There are but few inventions discoveries
partment of labor. To have supposed, year ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt that this process not only cleans the clothes,
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used Some people suggest
washed in this way but such a surposition has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing


Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be to be fully appre-
ciated, as its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in an ordinary advertisement


Public and private tests have been given of this
apparatus for the last six months, and more than a
million of people have witnessed its success. Ten
thousand boilers sold in New York City in less
than five onths, from one stand, and at this time
the orders reach about hundred day Ne
ever used it as directed that did not recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by than FIVE
thousand persons in less than six II onths. Among
the names are those of the most distinguished cit
liens of the United States but the best recommen-
daton is to take the boiler and use it yourself Do
just you directed and you will be more than
satisfied. 1t appeals to all a matter of econ
omy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
investment. 1t will return yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT on the
money invested For instance, we will suppose
your white clothing snch as bed and table linen
ladies' and gentemens' wear and childrens' cloth
ing, only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
long washed in this way as by the old method
Thus, you a"tually save 900 year by investing 10
or 200 per annually. There is no family
scarcely butspends more than here stated but this
is taken very low average of this branch of
family expense. Added to this is the great con-
venience and comfort Of the thing, which, alltaken
together, makes it luxury which no family can
well afford to he without.


This Boiler sells the best of any article ever offer

Fill the boiler with soft. water to within about
three inches If the top of the inside boiler. Slice
up one pound bar of good hard soap.


Bring the water to a boil, and then place the
clothes in the not water. The water will ,mme-

Keep up a hit fire for twenty minutes. Then
take the clothes out ard Immediately SUDS them
through in soft water. If any shade of the dirt
remains. few rubs will take it all out Then
rinse them in clean water, wiring dry, and the wash
ing is DONE Give particular heed to the following
SUGGESTIONS.


The clothes need not be wet before placing them
in the Boiler. 1t is of vital importance to THOR
oUGHLY sUDs the cFJthing after boiling. Every
lady knows that the least particle of suds left in
the clothes to dry will cause the clothes to look
yellow brisk fire is important in order to Pro-
duce rapid boiling. Time may be saved by stirring
or turning the clothes occasionally while boiling.
The cover should not be removed, except when
necessary, in order to insure quick work If the
washing be a large one, the clothes should be as
sorted, as dirty shirts, for instance, will require
double the time of sheets, pillow cases, napkins,
dc.


Articles much soiled may be left in for a second
boiling. White hannels may be beautiful washe1
(withous FULLING) by this process They
should be put in when the water is hot, and rinsed
out in hot water.


Colored clothes should not be mixed with white.
and unless the colors fast they should never be
washed by this process. The most delicate laces,
cambrics. &c, such would nearly fall to pieces
if washed in the ordinary way. may be was he'd per-
fecty, without injury, by this process. The almost
absolute necessity of using soft, or "broken, -
water, is so well understood as to hardly need

merely rubbing them with the hands, thus avoiding
all the wear and tear of clothing by washing. 1t
has been carefully estimated that clothing receives
more than ONE-HALF ITS WEAR by the old
process Of RUBBING, and consequently will last
twice as long if washed by this process, which
alone would pay for a Boiler many times during
sin le year, in almost any family, to say nothing
Of the important consideration CT saving labor.

A novel style for handsome dresses
for the house is called the Maria Stu
art. 1t is cut in the princess style
with the back Of theWaist and skirt in
one piece. The front of the corsage is
separate from the skirt, and forms a
long point. To relieve the plainness
at the back, a panier is made at length,
wide pufs, roundry bouffant at the top
but falling away into points among
the breadths Of the skirt in a very
graceful way. A tasteful dress Of this
kind is black silk, fringed around the
skirt with a simple bOx-pleated ruche
faced with purple silk. The ruche
outlines vest on the high cOrsage,
and Valenciennas lace Is placed in
side the Tuche. Two purple cords and
fringe trim the eorsage point. A belt
at the back only, with a small bow.
Coat sleeves, with silk ruche and a

A good wife ross from her bed one morn,


And thought with a nervous dread
OF the piles of clothes to be washed, and more

There's the neals to get for the men in the field,
And the children to fix away
To school, and the milk to be skinned and churDed
And all to bo done to-day.

There were puddings and pies to bake, besides
A loaf of cake for tea.

best


And the dearest wife in town."

In a smiling and absent way,
Sang snatehes of tender little songs


She'd not sung for many day.
And the pain in her head was gone, and the clothes
Were white as the foam of thesea;
Her bread was light and her butter was sweet,
And SIS golden as it could be.
