It constitutes the sum total of tbo witchcraft of woman. Let the world see that your first care Is fur yourself, and you will spread the solitude of the Upas tree afound you, in (ho same way, by the emanation of a poison which kills all the juices of affection in its neighborhood.

The Home of Taste* How easy it is lo bo neat!—lo bo clean! Hnw easy to arrange tho rooms with tho tnoi( graceful propriety ! How easy is it to invest our houses with the truest elegance! Elegance resides not with tho upholsterer or the draper; it is not in the mosaics, (he carpetings, the rose wood, (ho mahogany, the candelabra, qr (ho marble ornaments: it exists in the spirit presiding over the chambers of tho dwelling. Contentment must always be most graceful; it sheds serenity over tho scene of its abode; it transforms a waste into a garden.

Grays Yards,— Sir James Murray states that grave yarde, near cities, aro detrimental to health, because tho decomposing going on in them deranges tho aloolrical stale of the atmosphere.
