As one who brushes irorn a rose
Some small brown creature nestled there,
To make It Utter for the eyes
Of her who shall Its sweetness wear.
Rocks little of the sudden pang
Of the poor tenant dispossessed.
Thrust from the pale pink palace where
Its insignificance was blessed.

The beautiful city seminary at R. f bad
just closed its afternoon session, and the
brlgbt-eyed, merry, fun-loving school
girls, were streaming out through the
shaded pathways; and across the beauti
ful lawn, that lay stretched before the
ivy*mantled wails of the ancient insti
tution.
In a shrot time the grounds were deso
late, save heie and there, between some
knots of box-wood, remained 'a few, to
discuss the principal school topics of the
afternoon, and the rest arm in arm wend
ed their way, some towards home, and
others in various directions of the citj’.
t3lla Marsden and Lillie Markley bad
decided upon visiting the,park, and arm
dn arm left the lawn. These two girls
were just finishing their education, and
were two of the most pleasing and inter
esting young ladies of the school; refined,
educated, pleasing in manners, reserved,
and both capable of enjoying a real good
substantial earnest laugh, whene’er such
opportunity offered itself. They were
passing down the street, and just before
entering the park, Ella’s attention was
attracted to ai young man of prepossess
ing appearance, just at her side, and
about entering the park also. ‘ See there,
Lillie, who is that?’
‘Don’t know,’ was the reply, and with
that the person alluded to, with the great
est possible ease, opened the gates and
allowed the girls to enter. They bowed
acknowledgment and passed on, wonder
ing wbo this very polite and singularly
engaging looking personage might be.
‘He Is a stranger, I am positively certain,’
said Ella, and while the two girls were
rambling among the beautiful flowers,
trees ami bushes of the park, ever and
anon sending up among the brandies
one of their silvery, musical laughs, we
will leave them enjoying themselves, as
merry girls only know how.
‘ Willie'Blake, aa she was familiarly
called,resided a few miles out of town,
and was very intimately acquainted with
the two girls above mentioned. She bad
been for the last year finishing her educa
tion, at a select academy in uu adjoining
Stale, and had just returned honre a few
days previous. She was a perfect type of
beauty, symmetrically formed,of medium
height, large deep black eyes, and with
shell a fresh, rosy complexion, so rarely
met with among boarding-school misses.
Her hair was medium short, black and
curly, and, taking all in all, she was a
perfect’ little beauty.
She bad been home the second day,
and was in her room arranging her toilet,
when Tom passed whistling up the
corridor, add all of a sudden open flew
hia sister’s door, accompanied with the
words, ‘See here, Tom, a moment,please*
—which request her brother obeyed, and
was soon standing at tbe door of her
chamber. She was standing with her
bade towards biuil when suddenly turn
ing around with a smothered laugh, she
enquired of him, ‘Tom, what kind of a
young man would I make?’ ‘Capital,’
said her brother, ‘perfect!’ And after a
short conversation, left his pretty sister
standing before.the glass admiring her
very pretty curly hair. As she stood
there' peering into the glass surveying
herself with the eye of a connoisseur, she
at once turned about, and with a seeming
determination, gave- utterance to the
words, ' I’ll do itand to lose no time in
pulling her determination into'operation,
she left her room and proceeded up to
that of her brother, and .-was very soon
busily engaged in picklug out a amt of
Tom's clothing from his wardrobe. .Se
lecting that which best pleased her, she
again descended, and in a few moments
preheated as neat a figure us she had ever
seen. ‘ Oh, don’t they fit me splendidly?’
she said to herself, surveying her new
figure from top to toe. And walking up
and down the room with a fancy little
cant* of Tom’s, she looked exactly th°
picture of the very attentive personage
that opened the park gate for. the , two
young school girls a day or two after
■ ward.
Blake bad determined upon a
Utile surprise for the benefit of beraelf
and city acquaintances, and she appear
ed upon the 'Streets, on tbe afternoon
above mentioned, waiting her chance.
She bad matters very carefully arranged,
and'with a jaunty little straw bat, fash
ionably worn to a side, swinging a grace-
ful cano, she passed tbe seminary on the
opposite side, just as tbe girls were leav
ing for home. She really did look be-
witching exquisitely sweet, and in at
tempting to play tbo gallant to her
friends, whom she bad followed, she
knew she blushed in fear of detection.
It must bo understood that during
‘WiKieV last school term she bad been
receiving letters from her two city ac
quaititnnces very fiequeutly, and they
bad on more than one occasion contained
words of caution and advice upon tbe
follies of sobool girl flirtation. ‘VVJIJIe *
’tie true, surrounded by all that wealth
and education could command, hud in
numerable friends, but it was not to be
denied that she bad occasionally indulged
In flirtation‘just for fun.'
But her city friends had been lecturing
on the subject to such an extent that she
had come to the conclusion that they
must have either reformed considerably
since her last visit home, Or evidently
they were not exactly living up to the
doctrine contained in their letters. ‘At
all events,' thought she, upon her return
homo, * I’ll find out these innocent dears
In a way rather novel, but probably as
well as can be selected, and if they are
exactly as they represent themselves,

[why I only ahull be the w isor, hut If they
are not, I nth sure f shall ho well paid
for all trouble.’ .So thought 4 Willie’
IJJako.
We left Ella'and Lillie busily engaged
among tho (lowers. They were wonder
log who the flue-looking stranger was,
and upon glancing urouDil in that direc
tion, a slight rustle among the branches
was heard. 4 1 trust, ladles, lam not in
truding,' said Willie in a cool, masculine
voice, showing her pretty teeth through
tho finely-worked false mustaches. 'I
am a stranger t'» you, certainly, but
nevertheless a goutleiuau, I hope my
presence will not Interrupt your enjoy
ment. * The girls meekly said 'No sir.’
* Thank you,’ continued she in''her broth
er's’clothes, and tlio conversation drifted
from one thing to another until, in a
remarkably short time, they were as
familiar as people of a year’s Intimate
acquaintance.
After walking aud conversing for some
Iriie, our fascinating ycung hero Invari
ably performing her part admirably, the
girls suggested their returning home,nnd
after kindly inviting their new acquaint
ance to call and spend the evening, they
said ‘good afteruron.’ ‘Capital,’ ahe :
exclaimed in a satisfied manner, after
they had departed. ‘ Oh! that Ella
Marsdeu is a bewitching creature, aud
there’s Lillie, I shouldn’t -wonder but
that they'd.both fall in love with mo.
They are certain ly a pair of rogues evi :
dently well up in this little business.
And after so much talking, and so many
lectures from these very two girls, I can
hardly imagine the vast difference in
folks practising and preaching now-a
days. However, I am not done with
them yet,’ she continued ; ‘ they shall,’ if
possible, be brought still deeper in this
aflair, aud in the meantime I shall go
to uncle’s and report my afternoon’s ad
ventures,’ and Willie left the park deter
mined to tench the girls a lesson, a lesson
probably they would not soon forget. ‘
After tea Willie appeared in the parlor
with her aunt and uncle, and discussed
the question of calling on her two friends
in the same appearance, aud dress as she
figured during her afternoon’s work. Al
ter considerable talk, it was decided that
she had better appear in her own attire,
and in the meantime her aunt and uncle
would be at the house, in possession of
her male paraphernalia, which she might
use if opportunity presented Itself.—
‘Older heads can better plan and de
termine,’ thought Willie; and out she
sallied and was soon at the door of the
residence of the Marsdena. Ringing the
boll, she was soon in the presence of her
two friends, who welcomed her -home |
with open arms. After the usual wel
come and happy kiss, and a general ex
planation of hor.sudden appearance home,
without so much as writing, Ella aud
Lillie proceeded to ask her the usual
| number of questions. After quite a talk,
Lillie -said, ‘ We’re expecting company.
A gentleman friem] of ours who has late
ly been taking part in our sociables.
You’ll be delighted to meet him, Willie! 1
Willie said ‘yes,’ and in answer to Mrs,
Marsden’s call, went hack to "see Mrs.
Marsden, who was at the time resting
indisposed, yet, desirous to see her.
There, she found her aunt and uncle
with Mr. aud Mrs. Marsden, deep in the
connivance, enjoying thejoke amazingly.
Hastily donning the apparel of her broth
ers, whicli had been carefully arranged
for her In an upper, chamber, she ap
peared for criticism to the careful eyes of
her friends. With a little addition here
aud there, she was pronounced perfect,
and in an incredibly short period from
her leaving the girls In the parlor, she
was again at the door bell, a perfect gen
tleman. ‘ There be is now,’ muttered the
girls on the Inside, and with a polite
bow, was soon ushered into the parlor.
‘ Good evening, ladies,’ said Willie, us
perfectly ns could be done by anyone.
Taking a seat, aud with an easy graceful
stroke of her moustache, she conversed
freely with the young ladles, who always
in turn hud some very interesting intro
duction. 1 1 wonder where Willie Blake
is?’said Ella In on undertone. ‘She is
probably detaining herself, under an. im
pression that she is not wanted. I do
wish she would come.’
The conversation turneif upon travel,
n which Willie had wondrous stories to
;eil of her journeys. She had been all
over continental Europe, to the Holy
Land,across the Pacific to China, through
Australasia, returning by way of Capa
Horn and Uio. ‘But who is your lady
friend you seem so anxious about?’ said
the gentleman., ‘ O, she’s a young lady
just home from school whom we have
spoken to concerning you. Wc told her
that we had met you at a sociable, in or
der to prevent her asking any questions.’.
‘O, I see; certainly, anything to pre
vent gossip, ladles, anything. Is this
young lady friend of yours averse to flirt?
ing with gentlemen ?’
‘ No, can't say th .tshi* is, hut you know
ladies never like to tell on themselves,’
chimed in the girls.
•Quite natural, quite natural/ said
Willie; ‘it is a good subject to condemn,
but so very refreshing and romantic to
indulge in occasionally.’ "
The girls blushed, and the caller pro
ceeded to narrate the details of some late
college adventure, ahe involuntary cast
her eyes to the rear door ol the parlor,and
there found the rest of her associates In
the work, fairly going into hysterica la
smothered laughter. With difllculty she
for a moment avoided tho Impending
catastrophe, and as the innocent girls
were" quietly listening. Willie could
keep in no longer, so away flew the
moustache to the floor, and out came as
brilliant arid as silvery a laugh as ever
re-sounded in that parlor. Parents and
friends, unable to resist tho temptation,
Joined in the chorus, crowded in the room
with u hearty laugh, the girls fairly
screamed with terror, and while this truly
interesting panorama was U Us height.
Willie quietly slipped from tbs parlor,
and left them for the time being, satis
factorily to understand the bit of strata
gem enacted during the afternoon and
evening. Appearing in a few moments
in her true attire, much was the laughter
indulged in. The girls in a few moments
assumed their usual coolness, but declar
ing they could never forgive tho older
ones for assisting WilUo in this most ex
traordinary piece, of business. After
various promises of secrecy la the matter
the family retired, probably to dream
over tho results of theevouing. Tom has
a good Joke on the girls, as he generally
wears tUe fame suit of clothea whenever

ho calls, and assures them very explicitly
that ho Is not his sister.
Willie and her friends still mingle in
each other’s company, and frequently
point out the spot where they first'met
the exquisite young gentleman, who in
variably declares she will never again
assume the responsibility of a flirtation
in her brother’s clothes.
[From the Presbyterian.]
ARE XOHR -WINDOWS WASHED?
Do not be offended, good housekeeper,
t do not mean the windows of yourhouse,
which I doubt not Biddy orSukey wash
es regularly every week, at the imminent
risk often of dashing out her bruins on
. the pavement below. I mean other win
dows than these, although those prompt
ed the thought which I now bring to
you.
X chanced to look out of my room win
dow the other day, when it hud just been
washed after a longer interval than usual
since the last cleansing, because of cold
and stormy weather. And I could not
help noticing the wonderful difference in
tbe look of the outer world through the
cleared giuss. I could not only see things
more distinctly, but every thiug looked
so much brighter and more attractive to
me. I hud not noticed beforfc that any
thing was wrong or unpleasant in my
prospect; but now I see how much better
and more cheerful it could be, with no
change but that of the medium through
which I looked at it..
Then a # s I stood there X thought how is
it with the windows through which your
soul looks forth upon the outer "World of
life every day ? Are they free from the
traces of envy, uucliaritablcness, suspi
cion and selfishness ? Is the aspect which
things wear to us never distorted or ob
scured because we see—not through clear,
calin judgment, formed in humility—but
through the medium of some earthly
passion, uncharitable doubt, or selfish
ambition? Do not tbe windows of our
souls need cleaning and purifying from
these hindrances to perfect vision ?
Ah yes, we sigh, they do, but when are
we to begin this cleansing, which seems
so hopeless and tedious a process! And
is there not agreat deal in the world (hat
is in itself distorted and dingy and unat
tractive—which no possible change in
our manner of looking at it can make
otherwise?
True, but even those things would uoi
look quite so dark If looked at with the
bright, steady, far-seeing vision which
“that Light which lighteth every man
that cometh Into the world” can give us,
Perhaps many things that now distress
and perplex us would be more tolerable
in our sight If we saw them through the
glass of perfect charity.
Then as to the magnitude cf the task.
It will not be the best way to undertake
to makeeverything all rightatone grand
sweep;. It will he better patiently to take
a little at a time, get rid of a dim suspi
cion here, of a spot of uncharitable judg
ment there, Of a selfish or envious streak
in one place, and a stain of impurity or
Injustice fn another. Some spots will
take d deal of rubbing before they disap-
pear, aye and a deal of praying too. For
wo must ever remember that we' have
nothing ourselves wherewith to cleanse
these windows of our souls. God must
give us the purifying grace, and "enable
us to apply it, or weehall never look upon
life through other than a blurred, dis
torting medium.
Sdrely the world would be a bettor and
happier place to us-did we see every thing
in it with true and honest eyes, through
the wide windows of a loving charity 1
Done as Hicks.
A Desperate Lover.
Not long ago a* young latly named
Miriam Stanly, a resident of St. Louis,
arrived in Detroit to visit her aunt, a
Mrs. Sliirtoy, who carao here a few
weeks or mouths ago and started a
private hoarding house on Lafayette
street. Her hoarders have been five in
number, and all young men. Miss
Stanly is a prepossessing young lady,
and it was no more than natural that
several of the young men should fail in
love with her. She couldn’t help it,
and being, as she admits, engaged to a
St. Louis man, she received their atten
tions courteously, hut nothing further.
One of the young men, named Charles,
Wilson, a clerk, became infatuated, and
two weeks ago, after an acquaintance of
twenty days, asked the young lady to
be his wife. He was promptly rejected,
but it seems that ho somehow became
imbued with the idea that another
boarder named Wolcott was a more
favored suitor than he, and that this
was the cause. He therefore deter
mined to take revenge. Three or four
nights ago some one fired two bullets
through the window of Wolcott’s bed
room, but ha was not injured. It was
the general idea that Wilson done the
shooting, but nothing was said to him,
Miss Stanley had made preparations to
start for home on the latter part of the
week, and Wolcott was intending to
go East on a visit. On the evening pre
vious to her departure, ho asked her to
accompany him to the Opera House,
and they went. Returning homo about
eleven o’clock they were mot hy Wilson
when within a block of the house, who
charged Wolcott with slandering him.
This was denied, and the young lady
was called on to prove that no slander
ing had boon Indulged in. Wilson was
not satisfied, and upon Wolcott saying
that ho had better get out of the way
he drew a revolver, and while standing

TEE NUPTIAL FUNERAL.
I'KOM AS OLD GERMAN CHRONICLE;
On a step mountain, surrounded by
extensive woods, Is situated an ancient
castle, long the' residence of tho Counts
of Dachcjj. Hero lived with an aged
and venerable mother, tho last de
scendentpf that illustrious family. Tho
Counts of Wnlfarthuson were thoir near
relations; and tho vicinity of their
mansion, facilitating a mutual inter
course, paved the way for a more strict
aliianc/. The young countess, their
sister, was promised in marringo to tho
young Count Dachau. Brought up
together from childhood, their infan
tine friendship had long changed to
ardent love. The most magnificent
prepijrations were made to celebrate
theiri nuptials, during the festival of
Christmas. Tho preparations being
completed the Count of Dachau, in his
nuptial dress accompanied by his at
tendants, descended into tho valley at
the foot of the mountain, to meet Ids
future consort, but tlie slow progress of
his tiain ill suiting ihe youthful ardor
of tiio count, ho sot spurs to ids noblo
courser, and was so soon so far ad
vanced into the woods that it was im
possible for his attendants to hear his
voice.
: On a sudden ire. was attacked by a
troop of robbers, and, after some useless
efforts, was disarmed jihd wounded. In
vain he bogged them to spare iris life.
Deaf to nil his prayers, they completed
their crime; they stripped him of his
rich dress and costly jewels and an
emerald ring, tho first pledge ire had
received from his mistress, and which
she gave him When she consented to bo
his bride. JN'ot finding it easy to get
the ring from his finger, the barbarians
cut off ids hand ; and then covering his
body with some earth they fled with
.precipitation taking with, them tho
horse of the count.
In tho meantime the intended bride
accompanied by her two brothers, and
followed by a splendid cavalcade, ar
rived at tho castle, whore a numerous
company were assembled. Mutual
congratulations passed on the auspi
cious occasion of their meeting. The
mother, melancholy and uneasy at not
s eeing her son, expected him with im
patience. She sent the pages and ser
vants to seek him ; a ,little dog belong
ing to the count followed them, scent
ing, every bush, ns if anxiousto find his
master.
Tho supper was served up in the
great hall) tho chevaliers and ladies
faking their places at the table. But
not gayety nor cheerfulness was there.
A melancholy silence and heavy looks
bespoke tho sad presentiments that
pervaded all. The intended bride could
not retain her sighs; her bosom was
heavy with unuttoralde anguish, her
necklace burst, tho pearls rolling upon
the table. At these ominous signs tho
terrified guests rose from their seats,
the covers were all removed, and they
waited in dreadful suspense tho arrival
of the count., A boisterous wind shook
tho lofty firs that crowned the moun
tain, and roared through all tho courts
of tho castle. Whirlwinds of snow
rushed from the hills into tho valley.
The storm at length ceased, tho
clouds dispersed, and tho pale light of
the moon appeared. They heard—
they heard the funeral scream of tho
nocturnal birds.
.The young bride concealed her beau
tiful face. Adieu forever now to joy and
peace 1 The sound of a horn was heard;
the drawbridge was lowered; tho ser
vants and pages precipitately entered,
as if pursued by the phantoms of night.
All tho company approached tho lady
dowager and her intended daughter-in
law, whosilqntly addressing their vows
to heaven, awaited in fearful cousler
nation tho dreadful news, At this
moment a mournful cry attracted their
attention to tho door ; they beheld the
little dog, which rpnnlng to tho moth
er of its master, dropped at her feet
something bloody, which ho licked,
with a piteous moau. Alas! it was
the hand which the assassins had cut
off, aud dropped iu their flight. Tho
venerable mother—tho lovely bride
perceiving tho emerald ring, sank, life
less to tho floor.
At this sight the chevaliers all took
arms, and followed by the servants of
the castle, entered the wood, and tra
versed it on every side. The faithful
dog ran before them, incessantly moan
ing. They wandered thus about an
hour when the dog suddenly stopped at
a heap of earth which ho endeavored to
scratch np, still moaning piteously.
They dug the earth which appeared
recently laid; they discovered tho
naked aud mangled body, of tho mur
dered count. Tho chevaliers look oil'
their mantles ; they wrapped.the body
decently in them. They placed it oil
one of their horses; then taking tho
plumes from their hats, aud tho ser
vants and pages tearing from their
clothes tho ribbons and other orna
monts of tho day, they sorrowfully re
sumed their road to the castlo. Hot a
voico’Tfas heard—not a sound to inter
rupt tho silence of tho melancholy pro
cession.
The company that had seen tho nup
tial train of the late happy bride now
advanced to meet tho funeral caval
cade. Tho priests descended to tho foot
of the mountain, to receive, with duo
solemnity, the body of their lord. He
was interred in tho church in which
his ancestors reposed ; and with him is
extinct the ancient family of Dachau.
So vanished all tho honors of ances
try 1 So fled tho brightest terrestrial
prospects 1 To tho childless mother,
and tho widowed bride, ail earth was
now desolate aud dreary. Grief long
held her melancholy sway ; hut piety
at length prevailed. Wrapped in
mourning, aud prostrate at tho foot of
the altar, they renounced tho flattering
vanities of the world forever.
The body of a well-dressed man was
found on tbo Harlem road. There was
nothing about his person to indicate
who ho was, except three brilliant dia
mond rings, which seemed to show
that he was either a horse doctor or a
negro minstrel.
THE FACULTY OF ADMIRATION:
Cue of tlio most'generous of the facul
ties wo over possess, is Clint which en
ables us thoroughly to admire some one
else. It is a faculty that comes early;
that is developed in boys and girls very
strongly—or used to be id the days when
there wore boys and girls, and all the
young juveniles were not young ladies
and gentlemen before tl;oy had got into
joug dresses and tail coats. There is noth
ing so through-going at the full and
hearty admiration which your, genuine
boy orgirl is capable of feeling. It is a
species of mild idolatry—a complete re-
cognition that in the world there may
exist some sovereign creature incapable
of wrong-doing. Jack’s friend or Mury’ 3
is simply perfect ; no such combination
of all the talents was eyer seen before;
and there is a faithfulness as well as com
pleteness in the admiration accorded,
which it is pretty and .half-touching to
see. .
For we, who have been out in. the
world, know how the faculty for admir
ation, which so charming in youth, so
pleasant and pleasurable both to the giver
and receiver of the. delicate adulation,
soon changes and becomes less—alters in
kind and diminishes in degree. We do
not lose it altogether. If wo do, and for
those who do (of whom some exist,} there
is much unhappiness as a consequence.
But, in the Ural place, we see that
many persons have done things worthy
of admiration; many, perhaps, are ad
mirable in the very points which seemed
so super-excellent in our early idols,
probably more admirable even than they,
and so wo are called upon to spread-our
admiration over a wider area. Again,
wo begin to see spots in our sun ; our ex
perience furnishes us with a vision both
telescopic and microscopic, which ex
hibits Haws where we imagined none
existed. Sometimes, and then we are
truly happy, more beauties of character
are discovered by the light of experience
and close intimacy, but this- does not
happen too often.
Wo become critical incur admiration,
and the blancing of merits implied in
criticism extracts enormously from the
pleasures of admiration. This is true of
all circumstances into which It is possible
for admiration to enter for the enhance
ment of our enjoyment, or criticism for
the, increasing of our, want of pleasure.
We admire our friend’s beuoyolent action
more thoroughly *aud pleasantly when
wo are not called upon to Inquire,into
his possible motives, we read with more
pleasure the book upon which we shall
not be instantly called to give an opinion;
we hoar the singer with more onjoymeui
when wo are not tormented or torment
ing ourselves as to the comparisons be
tween the present and thepast of musical
performances ; wo enjoy the picture ol
;he landscape most when wo need nol
analyze- it to point out the particulars
which please and to separate them from
those that offend.
It is a pleasant tiling to meet now and
hen persons in whom the faculty of ad'
miration remains in much of its fresh-
ness.
This faculty, exeicisod towards persons
or objects, whose faults have become
somewhat too evident tons, does ns good.
It is not possible that we ourselves can go
back to the time of our fresh admiration
and our first love, but to see others en
joying the delights of this excellent faculty
gives us a faiut, regretful feeling for the
time when'to 123 also all great things were
great without drawback, when h\\ au
thors were credible, all men of science
sincere and without jealousy, all public
characters as good as they ought to be;
all pautominea real realms of gorgeous
bliss, ali the world -young and hopeful,
because wo were.
HOW TO CURE A GOLD,
Dr. O. Johnson, Professor of Medi
cine in King’s College, London, in a
recent lecture gives tho following euro
for a cold : “ Tho . popular domestic
treatment consists in the use of a hot
foot-bath at bed time, a fire in tho bed
room, a warm bed, and some hot drink
taken after getting into bed, tho dia
phoretic action being assisted by an
extra amount of bod clothes. Complete
immersion in a warm bath is more
efficacious than a foot-bath ; but tho
free action of the skin is much more
certainly obtained by tho influence of
hot air—most surely aud profusely,
perhaps, by tho Turkish hath. The
Turkish hath, however, is uot always
to bo had, and oven when available, its
use in tho treatment,of catarrh is at
tended with some inconvenience. In
particular, there is the risk of a too
speedy check to the perspiration after
the patient leaves tho hath. On tho
whole, tho plan which combines tho
greatest degree of efficiency with uni
versal applicability, consists iu tho uso
ufa simple hot-air bath, which tho pa
tient can have in his own bedroom. All
that is required is a spirit-lamp, with
a sufficiently largo wick. Such-lamps
are made of tin, and.sold hy most sur
gical instrument makers,
“Tho lamp should hold sufficient
spirit to burn for half an hour. The
patient sits undressed in a chair with a
lamp between his feet, rather than uu-
ler the chair, care being taken to ayoid
setting fire to tho blankets (the lamp
could bo covered with a tin canopy
with openings at tho sides tq emit tho
heal, and thus it wohkl bo entirely
sale), of which an attendant then takes
two or three, and folds them around the
paiii nt from Ids neck to the floor, so as
to enclose him and tho lamp, tho hot
air from which passes freely around tho
body. In from a quarter to half an
hour there is usually a free perspira-'
lion, which may bo kept up for a time
by getting into bed between hot
blankets. I have myself gone into a
hot-air bath suffering from headache,
in tho limbs, and other indica-
ions of a severe incipient catarrh, and
n tho course of half au hour I have
icon entirely and permanently freed
rom these symptoms hy the action of
ho bath.
Another simple and efficient mode
of exciting the action of the skin con
sists in wrapping the undressed pa
tient in a sheet wrung out of warm
water, then, over this, folding two or
three blankets. The patient may re
main thus ‘packed, for an hour or two,
until free perspiration has been ex
cited.”
DOSS, SOUXALLT CONSIDERED,
Dr. Jolm Brown, of Edinburgh, of
iC prose writers has written with tho
most hearty and delightful apprecia
tion of dogs. Ho says: “I think every
family should havo a dog. It is liko
having a perpetual baby; it is the
plaything and crony of tho whole
house; it keeps them all young; and
then, ho tells no tales, betrays no se
crets, never sulks, asks no troublesome
questions, never gets into debt, never
comes down Into to breakfast, is always
ready for a bit of fun, lies in wait for
it, and you may, if choleric, to your re
lief, kick him instead of some one olso
who would not take it so meekly, and,
moreover, would certainly not, ns he
does, . ask your pardon for being
kicked.
“ Next to a merry child, wo do not
know so good and healthful a compan
ion for a melancholic man ns'a dog.—
Ho does not call over the roil of your
nils, with dolorous intonation, nursing
and potting them by recital, nor docs
Ito anger .you by combating your
spcnolic fancies. Ho Just ignores them
so innocently Unit you ignore them
too. If, after a convivial evening, you
awake with a pound of lead in the epi-
gastric regions, spiders in your eyes,
and mephitic vapors coiling through
your brain j if the day looks cold and
dark and dreary, and you feel half in
clined to try the “ hare bodkin” reme
dy, rather than grunt and sweat under
a weary life, just draw, on your clothes
and open .the door to your dog. See
what a delicious good-iriocning ho has
for you. How ho leaps upon you, and
sprinkles you all over with cool, ;fra

PLANTING POTATOES•
•
VOL 59-N0.43
Tho‘ potato tho past year .was a fUil- #
urein quality on account of tho gre&t
heat. Many tubers were so scorched that
they became watery ami rank ; and some
very near the surface or partly exposed,
assumed the green color and bitter taste
of the vine, making them unfit to feed
evou tp stock, on accountofthe poisonous
property engendered by tho rays of the
suu. The remedy is, plant deep, from
six to seven inches. This for various
reasoua : It will permit very early plant
ing—an advantage—securing thus the
seed against the frost, or if reached by it,
it will permit It gradually to draw out,
which will save it; It will favor it in a
drouth, and prevent tho setting bf tubers •
too near the surface, so sun can
not injure them; hilling can also be dis
pensed with, and only tho cultivator
used to make mellow and keep out the
grass, With no clanger of hurling tho
roots or tho tubers.
By putting out early, with the. first
mellow soil, the potato will sprout and
grow on, unimpeded In the ground in
stead of the cellrr, and get the benefit of
the winters moisture, which in an early
drouth, is’of importance. Particularly
should tho Early Hose bo put out early.
The experience hero Is decided and un
varying, that you cannot get it out 100
early in case you have mellow ground’
for it. It will grow in tho worst of
weather, snow and frost excepted, and
seems to delight in it, while at the same
time other sorts are at a stand still, thus
making this emphatically .what it is, an
early potato, Plant close rather than
wide apart, say twelve or fifteen inches
in tho row, as this sort keeps its tubers
close together, a neat of them; and easily
gathered. They will then also be of a
medium rather than a large size, which
is favorable to quality; and by putting
but one or two eyes in a hill, there will
be few small potatoes. Thus a crop of
Early Roseean be ripened very early,and
of a superior quality and yield. But tho
ground must be dry or well drained; and
as u guard against rot, there should be
more sand than clay in the soil.
Bate sorts should receive the same
treatment as early. They will then, by
being put out very early, got tho whole
season’s growth, and will ripen in timo
for dry gathering. A potato wants to be
grown rather slowly’, but continuously.
and well ripened. It will then bo sound
and solid, fine-grained, and of better
flavor; also more mellow. Rank growth
will give a rank taste, and a watery con
ditiou, a leas concentration of substance.
Experience has demonstrated that it is
better to manure in the hill than to apply.
broadcast. Better a poor soli with some
good fertilizer In the hill, than rich land;
and the best fertilizers are ashes, guau.o
reduced bone, plaster, &o. Ashes are a
'special manure for this plant.
Will our farmers who are not In tho
secret of early planting, try it this year'.’
Try it on a small scale if no other. Put
out with the very first mellow soil; if U
is in March; but bo suro and plant deep,
never less than six, and better seven
inches. When 1 say bettor seven I mean
it particularly with the Early Rose, But
do it with all sorts. Do not fear the frost
with the seed sodeep in the ground. Put
a good quantity of uuleached wood ashes
and hen dung in tho hill if tho soil is not
rich. The ashes and dung should be ap
plied aud covered at.ouce, as apon as mix
ed,, as else the strength by the union will
escape, and that rapidly. Keep out the
grass, and keep tire ground mellow.—
