Hints on Housekeeping.
On the commencement of April the
wife's duties increase in anticipation, for
preparations must be made for house clean.
ing; and when that comes every closet,
drawer, corner, pieoe-bag, etc., must be
ransacked, overlooked, and cleared up for
the coming summer. Carpets must be
taken up and shaken, beds well-beaten and
bedsteads washed with strong brine to
destroy all insects, etc. Tea leaves, after
using, if saved for a week or so, steep in a
bucket or pan of water for half an hour,
strain through a sieve, and use the tea or
tea-water to wash all varnished paint. It
requires very little rubbing, as the tea acts
as a strong detergent, cleansing the paint
from its impurities and making the varnish
shine again ; it also cleanses window sashes
and oil cloths, indeed, any varnished
surface is improved by its application. It
washes window panes and mirrors much
better than soap or water, and is excellent
for cleansing black walnut picture and
looking glass frames. It will not do to
wash unvarnished paints with it. Whiting
is unequaled for cleansing white paint.
Take a small quantity of whiting on a
damp flannel, rub lightly over the surface,
and the effect will be surprising. Wall
papers are readily cleansed by tying a soft
cloth over a broom and sweeping down the
walls carefully, then follow with a light
rubbing of stale bread. The dust and
ashes of stoves, grates and furnaces are
deposited in every crack and crevice of our
rooms and require vigilant and active
treatment for their removal. Carpets
absorb great quantities of them. Those
who can afford it should use matting d ur
ing the summer. It is cleaner and cooler ;
or even an entirely bare floor is most
agreeable in hot weather, and thus three
months' wear and tear may be saved. Old
feather beds, pillows and bolsters are great
ly improved by putting them on a green
plot and beating them thoroughly for an
hour or so with long pliable sticks or canes,
turning them on every side —Gertnantown

Farm Help.
"A Long Island Farmer" sends us the
following timely questions :
"To hire or not to hire some farm help
this Spring is the question with me. What
is the prospect . ? If the bottom is going to
be knocked out, and the value of farm
products is going to sink out of sight, I
don't want to be bothered with help all
Summer and have nothing in the Fall
wherewith to pay for labor. Domestics
are a nuisance anyway, and in these stag.
nant times I question whether it is not
best to run the farm with as little pressure
as possible. What is the use of hoisting
sail when there is no wind ? I am a novice
in the farming business, having plowed
the sea most of my days, and should like
some advice on this point."
Our sailor farmer probably knows that
the secret of success, whether on the land
or sea, is persistent effort. We can see
no cloud hovering over the agriculture of
the country, such as to justify inactivity
on the part of farmers. Fortunately, their
calling is one least affected by hard times.
Broadcloth and jewelry may be dispensed
with, but the products of the field are
always in demand. True, we are passing
through a financial crisis, but we have no
fear that "the bottom is going to be knock
ed out," as "Long Island" expresses it.
So far from. being a time for farmers to lie
on their oars, there never was a time in
our history when there was more need
and more encouragement for them to be
up and doing. The country is looking to
land holders as the mainstays in "these
dark days," as "Long Island" calls them.
When they give up and say we will employ
no help and "run the farm with as little
pressure as possible," then, and not till
then, will "the bottom be knocked out."
Agriculture lies at the basis of all prosper
ity. It furnishes the material for mann•
facturers and traders to operate with, and
the more material the greater will be the
impetus to btufines.—N. Y. Times.
Care of Fowls and Eggs.
A Michigan farmer's wife who has had
splendid success, manages her poultry in
this way :—"My hen-house is in a shelter
ed location, having a southern exposure:
The roosting and laying rooms are warm,
and are kept clean and well ventilated. I
keep dry soil, sand and ashes scattered
over the floor, renewing it from time to
time. I vary the food. Corn when fed
by itself, fattens the hen, bat does not
produce the more profitable egg-laying. I
think it well to give a feed of corn at
night. I often make a mush for my hens
of coarse ground Indian meal, well season
ed with red-pepper, and feed it to them
hot. Sometimes instead of red-pepper, I
season with horse-radish, . mustard ' or
ginger. Wild birds get access to many
highly spiced buds and berries, the lack of
which is supplied to our domestic fowls by
the use of condiments. I save all potato,
turnip and apple parings to boil for my
hens; and when I can, I boil them in the
water in which meat has been boiled, and
if possible, feed them a little raw meat twice
a week. I occasionally put a spoonful of
sulphur in their feed to keep them clear of
vermin. My hens lay all winter, and
average over one hundred eggs per year.
I never keep hens over three years old."
SEEDS IN A POUND.—The following is
givec as about the average :
The number of seeds of wheat in a
pound is 10,000
The number of seeds in one pound of
barley is 154,0000.
The number of seeds in one pound of
oath is 30,000.
The number of seeds in one pound of
buckwheat is 25,000.
The number of seeds in one pound of
red clover is 249,600.
The number of seeds in one pound of
white clover is 688,400.
A bushel of clover seed, sixty pounds,
will contain 20,976,000 seeds, which
eivally distributed over an acre will give
about three seeds to the square inch of
ground.

The Crucifixion.
BY IRE LATE DR. GEORGE CROLY
City of God ! Jerusalem !
Why rushes out thy living stream ?
The turbau'd priest, the holy seer,
The Roman in his pride, are here;
And thousands, tens of uganda still
Cluster round Calvary's wild bill.
Still onward rolls the living tide ;
There rush the bridegroom and the bride
Prinoe, beggar, soldier, Pharisee,
The old, the young, the bond, the free--
The nation's furious multitude,
All maddening with the cry of blood.
'Tie glorious morn; from height to height,
Shoot the keen arrows of the light;
And, glorious in their oentral shower,
Pala ,, e of holiness and power,
The Temple, on Moriah's brow,
Looks a new risen sun below.
But woe to hill, and woe to vale!
Against them shall come forth a wail ;
And woe to bridegroom and to bride,
For death shall o'er the whirlwind ride;
And woe to the resplendent shrine,
The sword is out fur thee and thine.
Hide, hide thee in the heavens, thou sun,
Before the deed of blood is done !
Upon that Temple's haughty steep,
Jerusalem's last angels weep;
They see destruction's funeral pall,
Black'ning o'er Zion's sacred wall.
Like tempests gathering on the shore,
They hear the coming armies roar;
They see in Zion's hall of state,
The sign that maketh desolate—
The idol standard—Pagan spear—
The tomb—ihe Game—the massacre.
They see the vengeance fall, the chain,
The long, long age of guilt and pain,
The exiles thousand desperate years,
The more than sighs—the more than tears;
Jerusalem, a vanished name—
Its tribes earth's warning, scoff and shame.
Still pours along the multitude,
Still rends the heavens the shout of blood;
But on the murderers' furious van,
Who totters on 1 A helpless man—
A cross upon hie shoulders bound,
His brow—his frame—one gushing wound.
And now he treads on Calvary—
What slave upon that hill must die?
What hand, what heart in guilt imbrued,
Must be the mountain vulture's food?
There stand two viotims, gaunt and bare—
Two culprit emblems of despair.
Yet who the third ? The yell of shame
Is frenzied at the sufferer's name;
Hands clenched, teeth gnashing, vesttires torn,
The curse, the taunt, the laugh of scorn—
All that the dying hour could sting,
Are round thee now, thou thorn-crowned King.
Yet cursed and tortured, taunted, spurntd,
No wrath is for the wrath returned ;
No vengeance dashes from the eye,
The sufferer calmly waits to die;
The sceptre reed, the thorny crown,
Wake on that pallid brow no frown.
At last the word of death was given,
The form is bound, the nails are driven ;
Now triumph, Scribe and Pharisee I
Now, Roman, bend the mocking knee !
The cross is reared, the deed is done—
There stands Messiah's earthly throne.
This was the earth's consummative hour;
For this had blazed the prophet's power ;
For this had swept the conqueror's sword;
Had ravaged, razed, cast down, restored,
Persepolis, Rome, Babylon;
For this ye sang—for this ye shone.
Yet, things to which earth's brightest beam
Were darkness—earth itself a dream—
Foreheads on which shall crowns be laid
Sublime, when sun and stars shall fade;
Worlds upon worlds—sternal things—
Hung on thy anguish, King of Kings '
Still from his lips no curse has come;
His lofty eye has looked no doom ;
No earthquake burst; no angel brand
Has cursed the black, blaspheming band.
What say those lips, by anguish riven ?
"hod, be my murderers forgiven."
He dies, in whose high victory
The slayer, Death himself, shall die !
He dies, by whose all-conquering tread,
Shall yet be crushed the serpent's head;
From his proud throne to darkness hurl'd,
The God and tempter of the world.
He dies ! creation's awful Lord !
Jehovah ! Christ ! Eternal Word !
To come in splendor from the skies,
To bid the buried world arise ;
The earth his footstool—Heaven his throne—
Redeemer ! may thy will be done !
The Bereaved.
What darkness reigns in the house of
the mourner !—the sisters' home at Beth
any. "If the Lord had been here, our
brother had not died." It was now dark,
and Jesus had not yet come to them. The
pain of separation is as intense to-day, and
the desolation it produces as terrible as
then. The wife dies, the husband, the
child. Which of us does not know about
an experience like that ? And so long as
we think merely of these things there can
be nothing but darkness. But if we will
only let Jesus come to us ; if we will only
let Him whisper in our ears, "I an* the
Resurrection and the Life," our darkness
will be turned into day, and our mourning
into quiet thankfulness. We cannot but
weep in such a sorrow, and Christ will not
rebuke our tears. But He will lift our
thoughts to the glory into which our
beloved ones have entered, and will say to
us, "If ye loved them, ye would rejoice,
for they have gone to the Father." He
takes us to some Pisgah summit in His
Holy Word, and as he shows us from
thence their abode of incorruptible purity
and happiness, He asks us if we would
bring them back into this world of suffer
ing and sorrow and sin.
Let the bereaved among us take com
fort. Christ has come and the darkness
has disappeared. The dead are not lost,
but only gone before. We shall rejoin
them by-and•by, and, meanwhile, the
interval will be brightened for us by the
presence of the Lord. So let us carry
with us this day the one thought that
Christ is the light•bringer into every form
of spiritual darkness. His pardon dispels
guilt; His indwelling spirit purges away
all defilement; His joy is the sure antidote
of sorrow ; His riches make even poverty
a blessing; His consolation meets and
relieves all affliction. His life is trium
phant even in death. Surely Keble had
this text in his mind when he wrote his
beautiful lines:
Sun of my soul! Thou Saviour dear,
It is not night if Thou be near,
Oh, may no earth-born care arise
To hide Thee frog Thy servant's eyes.
"Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee I cannot live,
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die."
—W. M. Taylor,
IN owl temples and churches we usual
ly find that the most highly carved work
—the stonesovhich have undergone the
deepest and severest cutting, are placed in
the part of the structure which is deemed
most honorable, in chancel or choir, in
nearest proximity to the Lord's supper.
And so it would seem from all we know
about that future world, that in the spirit
ual temples those saints of God who have
suffered most for their Lord on earth will
find their place nearest to Him is Heaven.
Shrink not then from discipline and trial,
shrink not, as angel after angel is round
ing off by the Master's hand. For so as
living stones you will grow into stately
form, even into the fashion and likeness of
Him who is the chief corner stone, Jesus
Christ, "in whom all the building framed
together groweth unto an holy temple in
the Lord."—N. Y Observer.

The celebrated author, in hie Admirable Essay, clearly
demonstrates, from a thirty years' successful practice,
that the alarming consequences of self-abuse may be
radically cured without the dangerous use of internal
medicine or the application of the knife; pointing out a
mode of cure at once simple, certain, and effectual, by
means of which every sufferer, no mztter what his condi

radically.
