Oh! why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Liken swift, fleeting meteor, a fast-flying cloud,
A. flash of the lightning, a break of the wave,
lie passeth from life to his rest in the grave.
The leaves of the oak and willow shall fade,
Be scattered around and together be laid:
And the young and the old, and the lowand the
high,
Shall moulder to dust and together shall lie.
The infant:lnd the mother attended and loved
The mother that infant's affection who proved.
The husband that mother and infant who blessed
Each, all, are away to their dwellings of rest.
The hand of the king, thane scepter bath borne;
The brow of tile priest that the mitre bath worn ;
The eye of the sage and the:heart of the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depths of the grave.
The peasant, whose lot was to sow and to reap;
The herdsman, who climbed with his goats up
the steep;
The beggar, who wandered in search of his bread,
Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
So the multitude goes, like the flower of the
weed,
That withers away to let others succeed ;
So the multitude comes, oven those we behold,
To repeat every tale that has often been told.
For we are the same our fathers have been;
We see the same sights our fathers have.seen ;
\Ve drink - the same stream and view the samo
sun,
And run the same course our fathers have run.
The th lough ts we are thinking our fathers would
thiHk;
From the death we :are shrinking our fathers
would shrink;
To the life we are clinging they also would ail% ;
But it speeds from us all.like a bird on thawing.
They loved, but the story we cannot unfold;
They scorned, but the heart of the. haughty Is
cold ;
Theygrieved, but no wail from their slumber
will come ;
They Joyed, but the tongues of their gladness is
dumb.
They died; nye! they died; we things that are
now..
That walk on the turf that Iles over their brow
And make in their dwellings a transient abode
Meet the things that they met on their pilgrim
age road.
Yea! hope and despondency, pleasure and Bain,
We mingle together in sunshine and rain:
And the smile and the tear, the song and the
dirge,
Still follow each other, like surge upon surge.
'Tis the wink of an eye, 'tis the draught of a
breath,
From the blossoms of health to the paleness of
death;
From the glided saloon to the bier and the
shroud,
Oh! why should the spirit of mortal be proud?

The Little goats.
I=
Down by the sea, lived Dart the fisher
man, with his wife, and little son, who was
called Dandelion, because he wore yellow
pinafores, and had curly, yellow hair, that
covered his head with a golden fuzz. A
very happy family, for Dan was kind and
industrious,—Hetty, his wife, a cheerful
busy creature, and Dandelion, the jolliest
three-year old baby who ever made sand
pies and paddled on the beach.
But one day, a trouble came to them.
Dan and his fellow-fishermen sailed blithe
ly away as usual. and Hetty watehed the
fleet of white-winged boats cut of the bay,
thinking how pretty they looked with the
sunshine on them; while Dandelion stood
clapping his chubby hands, and saying, as
he always did, "Daddy tummin' soon."
But Daddy did not come soon that time;
for a great storm arose, and when some of
the boats came scudding home at nightfall,
Dan's was not among them. Ail night, the
gale raged, and in the morning, Dan's boat
lay empty and broken on the shore. His
mates shook their heads when they saw the
wreck, and drew their rough hands over
their eyes ; for Dan was a good seaman,and
they knew he never would desert his boat
alive. They looked for him far and wide,
but could hear nothing of him, and felt sure
that ho had perished in the storm. They
tried to comfort poor 'Jetty, but she would
not be comforted. Her heart seemed
broken; and if it had not been for her
her neighbors feared that she would have
gone to join Dan in his grave under the sea.
Dandelion didn't understand why every
one was so sad, and why his dither stayed
away so long; but he never lost his cheer
fulness, never gave up hoping, or stopped
saying, with a contented smile, "Daddy,
turnmin' soon." The sunshiny little face
was 'Jetty's only comfort. The sight of the
fuzzy yellow bead,bobbing round the house,
alone made it endurable; and the touch of
thelovingbaby-hands kepther from WO des
pair which made her long to end her sorrow
in the sea.
People don't believe in furies nowadays;
nevertheless, good spirits still exist, and
help us in our times of trouble, better even
then the little people we used to read about.
One of these household spirits is called
Love, and it took the shape of Dandelion to
comlort poor Hotty. Another, is called
Labor; a beautiful, happy spirit this is,
and it did his part so well, that there was
little time for bitter thoughts or vain re
grets ; for Deity's spinning-wheel mustgo,
in order to earn bread for Dandolion,whose
mouth was always ready for food, like a
hungry bird's. Busily hummed the wheel;
and as it flew, it seemed to catch an echo of
the baby's cheerful song, saying, over and
over, "Daddy tuninin' soon," till kletty
stopped crying as she worked, and listened
to the cheerful whirr. "Yes, I shall see my
good Dan again, if I wait patiently. Baby
takes comfort in saying that, and I will, too;
though the poor dear will get tired of it
soon," she said.
But Dandelion didn't get tired. Be firm
ly believed what he said, and nothing could
change his mind. He had been much
troubled at seeing the boat laid up on the
beach, all broken and dismantled, but his
little mind couldn't take in the idea of ship
wreck and death ; so, after thinking it over,
he decided that Daddy was waiting some
where for a new boat to be sent to bring him
home. This idea was so strong, that the
child gathered together his store of toy
boats,—for he had many, as they wore his
favorite plaything,—and launched them,
one after another, telling them to find his
father, and bring him home.
As Dandelion was not allowed to play on
the beach, except at low tide, the little boats
sailed safely away on the receding wares,
and the child was sure that some of them
would get safely into the distant • port
where Daddy was waiting. All the boats
were launched at last, all sailed bravely
away; but none came back, and little
Dandy was much disappointed. He bab
bled about it to himself; told the peeps and
horse-shoes, the snails and the lobsters, of
his trouble; begged the gulls to tly away
and find Daddy ; and every windy night,
when the sea dashed on the shore and the
shutters rattled, he would want the lamp
put in the window, as it used to be when
they expected Dan, and tried to make
home look cheerful, even before he got
there.
Hetty used to humor the child, though it
made her heart ache to know that the light
shone let vain. At such times, Dandy
would prance about the room in his little
shirt, and talk about Daddy as happily as if
long months had not passed without bring
ing him back. When fairly in his big, old
fashioned cradle, the boy would lie, look
ing more like a dandelion than ever, in his
yellow-flannel night-gown, playing with
his toes, or rocking himself to and fro, call
ing the cra‘lle his boat, and blithely telling
his mother, that he was sailing "far way to
find Daddy." when tired of play, he lay
still, and asked her to sing to him.
She had no heart for the gay old sea-songs
she used to sing for lullabies , so, she sung
hymns in her soft, motherly voice, till the
blue eyes closed and the golden head lay
*still, looking so pretty, with the circle of
bright hair above the rosy face. "INly little
saint," Hetty called him; and though she
often wept sadly, as she watched him, the
bitterness of grief passed away, and a
patient hope came to Ler ; for the child's
firm faith impressed her deeply, the pious
music of the sweet old hymns comforted her
sore heart, and daily labor kept her cheer
ful, in spite of herself. The neighbors won•
dered at the change that came over her;
but she could not explain it, and no one
knew that the three good spirits, called
Love, Labor and Hope, were working their
pleasant miracles.
Six long months wont by, and no ono
ever thought of seeing Dan again—no one
but his little son, who still watched for him
bore, and his wife, who waited to meet him
hereafter.
One bright spring day, something hap
pened. The house was as tidy as ever ; the
wheel hummed briskly as Hefty sung soft
ly to herself with a cheerful face, though
there were white hairs among the brown,
and her eyes had at thoughtful, absent, look
-at tittles. Dandelion, more chubby and
cheery than ever, sat at her feet, with the
sunshine making a uolden glorrof his yel
low hair, as ho tried his new boat in the tub_
of 'tinter his mother kpet for her little sailor,
or tugged away with hi; fat fingers at a big
needle which he was trying to pull-through
a bit of cloth intended fora sail.' The faith
ful little spul had not foygotten,liis father,
L AM had come to the 2mclusiob, That the
n never prqiii79ldd
ea use they hadn't large enough sails; so,
he was intent on rigging a new boat lately
given him, with a sail that could not fail to
waft Dan safely home. • With his mouth
puckered up, his downy eyebrows knit, and
both hands pulling at *the big needle, he
was so wrapt in his work, that he did not
mind the stopping of the wheel when Hetty
fell into a reverie, thinking of the happy
time when she and Dan should meet again.
Sitting so, neither heard a step comesoft
ly over the sand ; neither saw an eager,
brown face peer in at the door; and neither
knew, for a minute, that Dan was watching
them, with a love and longing in his heart
that made him tremble like a woman.
Dandelion saw him tirst; for, as he pulled
the thread through with a triumphant jerk,
the small sailmaker lost his balance, tum
bled over, and lay, staring up at the tall
man with his blue eyes so wide . open, they
looked as if they would never shut again.
All of sudden, he shouted, with a joyful
shout, "Daddy's tunniu' !" and the next
instant, vanished, ship and all, in the arms
of the man who wore the rough jacket.
Over went the spinning -wheel, as Hetty
vanished likewise; and for a time, there
was nothing but sobbing and kissing, cling
ing, and thanking Heaven for its kindness
to them. When theygrew quieter. and Dan
got his old chair, with his wife on one knee
and his boy on the other, he told them how
he was wrecked in the gale, picked up by
an outward-bound ship, and only able to
get back after months of sickness and de
lay.
"My boaty fetched him," said Dandelion,
feeling that every thing had turned out just
as he expected.
"So it did, my precious ; leastways, your
faith helped, I haven't a doubt," cried
Betty, hugging the curley-headed prophet
close, as she told Dan all that happened.
Dan didn't say much, but a few great
tears rolled down the rough bluejacket, as
he looked from the queer sail, with its two
big stitches, to the little sou, whose love, he
firmly believed, bad kept him safe through
many dangers, and brought him home at
last.
When the fine now boat was hunt, no one
thought it strange that Dan named it
" Dandelion ;" ncr ono laughed at the little
sail which always hung over the fireplace
in the small house; and long years after,
when Dan was an old man, and sat by the
door with his grandchildren on his knee,
the story which always pleased them hest,
was that which ended with the funny words,
" Daddy tummin' soon."
Coufeilerate Dead Unearthed—
Twenty Acres of Hatuan Bones.
A few weeks ago we published an accouut
of the state of affairs at Port Harrison,
which subsequent investigation• proved too
true. Now comes a most harrowing story
from Malvern Hill, where so many of our
best and bravest with their last (hops of
blood sealed their devotion to the Southern
cause.
On the northwest side of the fort a most
terrible scene presents itself. Thousands
of Confederate soldiers having been buried
where they fell, twenty acres or more have
Just been ploughed up by the owner of the
field, and the plowshare turned to the sur
face all the skeletons. Over the whole tract
the bones are strewn in profusion, and grin
ning skulls stare the visitors in the face on
every hand.
When the farmer was questioned he said
the land was now the richest place he had,
and, in justification of the sacrilegious act,
stated that "he didn't put om there, nohow."
The writer learned afterward that the bones
had been taken away by the cart load and
sold to fertilizing mills in Richmond, Two
humane mon, too poor to do anything else,
came one day we were theto and attempted
to burn some of the bones to prevent the
wretches from carting them oit—Richmond

Terrible Tragedy.
The Brooklyn Eagle, of Thursday, last
week, gives the following account of a
tragedy in that city: A young man named
Samuel D. Talbot, about twenty-seven
years of age, who was visiting at the house
on the southeast corner of Montague Plato
and Montague street, and was an intimate
friend of the family of Mr. Flint, who oc
cupied the house, attempted about ono
o'clock this morning to shoot Miss Scribner,
the sister of Mrs. Flint, but failing in:the
design, he turned the weapon against him
self, and succeeded in taking his own life.
Early this morning Miss Scribner, who
slept in a room adjoining that of Talbot,
heard footsteps in her room, and when she
awoks she found herself struggling with a
man whom she supposed was a robber; but
as she rose from the bed and grappled with
the man, she discovered he was Samuel D.
Talbot. She finally broke away from him,
and ran down sitars crying for help. The
inmates of the house were now alarmed,
and rushed up to her room on the top floor,
expecting to find that burglars had gained
an entrance. In the meantime Talbot, who
was foiled in his first attempt, finding that
the members of the family were now alarm
ed, went into the room of Mr. Flint's son
and obtained a revolver. He went down
stairs, and followed Miss Scribner into the
room where she had taken refuge. When
within a few feet of the bed on which the
lady had thrown herself, he fired, but the
ball simply grazed her temple, 'and lodged
in the wall behind. He then fired again.
This time she threw up her left arm, and
the ball struck the back of her band, passed
through, and was this morning taken out
of the wrist. This action, and the fact that
Talliot, who was near-sighted, had forgotten
his spectacles, probably saved her life.
Talbot then rushed up to his own room, and
placing the weapon to his head, blew out
his brains. The ball passed through the
skull and lodged in the ceiling. The body
of the young man was discovered by the
family lying in a pool of clotted blood,
which was flowing from the wound in his
temple. On the table in his room were
found a bottle of chloroform and a towel;
also two bottles of morphine. It is sup
posed that Talbot carried these with him
into the lady's room, and that his object
at first had been to effect her ruin. He
had at one time proposed marriage to Miss
Scribner, but met with a decided refusal.
The lady suffered much pain, but is now
out of danger.
A Child Shoots Ifer Sister—An At
feetintr Incident.
A. shocking tragedy, the result of which
has plunged a happy household into the
very depths of unutterable woe, occurred
in this city on Sunday morning last. It ap
pears that Nellie and Frank Sleurnan, aged
respectively aline and fifteen years, were up
stairs dressing to attend the Methodist Epis
cupid Sunday School.
Frank, the older sister,took a target pistol
from a box on tho window sill, turned to
look out of the window, and bly some means
discharged the piece, the bullet taking ef
. feet in Nellie's head, about two and a hall
inches over the left temple, passing ob
-Bcfne/y-towartl_the. right -eye ; and lodging
on the parietal bone. The accident occurred
at about a quarter past ten o'clock.. Physi
cians were immediately sent for, but of
course the skill of surgery could avail little
in such a desperate extremety.
Blood came from the child's nose; she also
swallowed some and vomited it up again,
while two or three teaspoonfuls of brains
have exuded from the orifice. How the
child escaped from instant death is a won
der. She has, however,been conscious from
the first, and has been able to answer all
questions, although physicians express it,
in a semi-comatose state.
Seeing her sister in tears she told her lov
ingly not to feel bad—that if she should die
and go to heaven she would ask God to let
her come there, too. On Monday, as Dr.
Cogswell was about leaving her bedside, he
asked her, "Is there anything I can do for
you ?" " "Yes," replied Nellie, with child
ish confidence, "you can hear rue say my
prayers."
It was a touching scene, as the little girl
took the doctor's hand, and in a low but
distinct voice, repeated the words ; " Our
Father, who art in Heaven." At noon to
day, she was still alive, and doing well,
though the chances of her recovery are ex
tremely doubtful.—lowa Herald.
Horrible Outrage.
A Troy, Pa., correspondent of the Elmira
Advertise• writes under date of May 12th :
Ono of the most horrible crimes that has
over boon perpetrated in the civilized
world is undergoing examination. A men
by the name of King, and his wife, living
west of Canton, brought the body of an
adopted child to Troy, to be buried. Sus
picious circumstances connected with the
death led the friends of the child to exhume
the body, which, on examination, proved
to be most barbarously mutilated. Several
of the ribs were broken, the breast broken
in, the thighs literally roasted, and other
fiendish mutilations too horrible to men
tion. Officers were immediately sent and
King and wife wore arrested and brought
to town. The victim was a boy about
eleven years of age, and was a son of Mr.
Tierney, of Troy.
An Historical Building.
An old building in Hartford, Connecti
cut, recently .torn down, was originally
erected some sixty years ago, for the Hart
ford Courant. In this building the first
Bibles ever printed in this country wore
produced. At a large expense, the printed
matter, all set up, was brought from Lou
don in forty or fifty "chases." The finest
minion typo was used: So choice were
those "forms" that a fire-proof building was
erected, in which they were stored, togeth
er with the presses used. Thousands of
these Bibles were printed and bound, and
furnished to the Connecticut Bible Society.
Copies are still In existence in all parts of
the State. In addition to this business,
Webster's Spelling Book was issued in
large editions.
Female Courage and Secrecy.
Several Athenians had formed a secret
plan for delivering their country from the
yoke of tyranny. A woman of the name
of Lioness was among one of the number
sworn to execute the scheme ; the tyrant
was informed of it, and he ordered her to
be put in torture, for the purpose of extort
ing who were heraecomplices. This woman
supported the most cruel torments, and
when she found her strength failing, she
tore out her tongue, for fear that the secret
might otherwise escape her. After the ex
pulsion of the tyrant, the Athenians, full of
gratitude for this heroine, erected a statue
of a lioness without a tongue, in honor of
her, and at the bottom of it was written in
large characters—" Virtue triumphed o'er
the sex;'

An Important Correction.
Editor of "Tan MARIETTIAN"—Deur
Sir:—A copy of your paper of May Bth has
just been placed in my hand. I notice
therein an item relative to the death of my
wife, Mrs. Wisler. Believe me, sir, which I
tell you that I was deeply pained on rend
ing this brief notice of my bereavement.
The sanctity of bereaved affection should at
least have deterred any one from harrow
ing up the broken heart by cruel misrepre
sentations; and were even the facts in the
case as stated, common gentility,
would
have foreborne drugging the pale corpse of
a dear friend into a vile, slanderous lnuen
do through a public print.
Of course, sir, you arc not responsible for
this underhanded outrage upon the gentle
manly Physician, Dr. Hinkld, through
whose skill my wife was so successfully
operated upon for tumor in the upper jaw,
requiring the removal of the whole right
half of the bone thereof, and therefore you
can have no objection to a correction
through your paper, as to her case.
The anonymous writer, who signs him
self by three stars (more fittingly might
have signed with the assassin's dagger),
says, "This lady was operated upon several
weeks since by Dr. Hinkle, for the removal
of a tumor from the upper jaw bone." This
is true, but, then, from the promptings of
some low motive, remarks that "had the
operation proved a complete success, it
would have added more laurels to the fame
of that 'prince of surgeonsconeluding
by saying that, "with the rett!Hof the above
case before us, I (the writer, who was afraid
to give his name—coward!) am inclined to
the old notion that conservative surgery is
the best policy."
Now, sir.l wish to say that that portion of
your correspondent's note, which, by -im
plication, declares that the operation on my
dear wife's face was a failure, is utterly
groundless and wickedly false. The opera
tion was a complete success, as it was also
a splendid proof that Dr. Hinkle is one of
the first surgeons of America.
The wound was so perfectly healed that
Mrs. Wisler was able to eat solid food
without the slightest inconvenience. In a
word, as to this matter she was well—very
well. And I wish to say to all that the op
eration was in all respects a brilliant suc
cess, such a success as only belongs to the
most consutnate skill.
And now, as to the cause of her death, I
may be permitted to say that it was the
result of Intlain atory Met/ matisni attack
ing the heart. This, and this only entered
into her last sickness. Of the operation she
'bad completely recovered:
I make this correction not for the sake of
the people of Columbia, who know all
about the case and who understand some
thing of the spirit which prompted the artiu
cle in your paper, but for ate benefit of suf
fering hurnimity elsewhere, which, in the
hour of its need, may ask, "Where, can I
j find the highest medical skill, and where
may I confidently turn for relief when the
right hand of deatli-is raised against my
life?" . To such we say, no higher skill
could have been displayed, and no result
eould have been more satisfactory in the
way of •an operation than this of Dr. Bin
' kle, on the person of my loved wife; and
while He "who doeth all things well," has
seen fit to disappoint our hopes and lay my
cherished ono in the dust, I feel it to be my '
duty to bear testimony to the truth, and
stand between our "Good Physician" and
the vile traducer who seeks, through this
painful Providence, to detract front his
wide-spread and still widening fame. The
results of this operation, so far from lessen
ing my confidence in Dr_ Hinkle, has only
deepened that confidence and made me feel
that in his hands, I can safely repose my
life's best interests.
And now, sir, permit me to ask two
things at your hands—First, that you re
quest the Lancaster Express and all other
papers that may have copied your corres
pondent's slander, to copy this correction.
Second, I ask you to give me the name of
your correspondent of my wile's death, that
I may brand him by name as he deserves
to be known. With much respect, I am,
yours, MICHAEL WISSLER.

Changing Clothing.
• Many persons lose life every year by uu
injudicious change of clothing, and the
principles: involved need repetition almost
every year
If clothing is to be diminished, it should
be done in the morning, when first dress-
Additional clothing may be safely put on
at any time.
In Northern States the under garments
should not be changed for those less heavy
sooner than the middle of Ittly; for even in
June a fire is very comfortable sometimes in
a New York parlor.
Woolen flannel ought to be worn next the
person, by all, during the whole year, but a
thinner meterial may be worn after the first
of June.
A blazing tire should be kept in every
family room until ten in the morning, and
rekindled again an hour before sundown,
up to the first week in June, and from the
first, day of October.
Particular and tidy housekeepers by ar
ranging their tire-places for the summer
too early, oftentimes put the whole family
ton serious discomfort,and endanger health,
by exposing them to set in chillness for
several hours every morning, waiting for
the weather to moderate, rather than have
the fire-place or grate all blackened up;
that is, rather than be put to the trouble of
another fixing up for the summer, they ex
pose the children to croup, and the old folks
to inliammation of the lungs. The old and
the young delight in warmth ; it is to them
the greatest luxury. Half the diseases of hu
manity would be swept from existence if
the human body wero kept comfortably
warm 811 the time. The discomfort of cold
feet, or of a chilly room, many have expe
rienced to their sorrow ; they make the
mind peevish and fretful while they'expose
the body to colds and inflammations which
often destroy it in less than a week.—Hall's

Lime for Potatoes.
' A correspondent in East Homer writes:
"In an early number of your paper you
give as a special potato fertilizer, ono cask
of lime, one bushel of salt and ashes, or
garden mould enough to make five barrels
of the compound. Will you please inform
me, and all who may be as ignorant as I.
how much lime makes a cask? I never
saw It sold only by the bushel. I suppose
you refer to shell lime. Will stone lime
take the place of it? There is no shell-lime
sold here. We have what is called marl
lime. Is that better than stone-lime?"
The following on the same subject, is
from the Hearth and Home:
" The lime cask seldom contains over
two bushels, sometimes not quite two, es
pecially of stone-jime, when the fragments
are large. We do not refer exclusively to
shell-lime. There is but little difference to
the farmer tict•veen stone and shell-lime.
The shell is rather preferable, because there
is some phosphate of lime in oyster-shells
and none in common lime rock. Marl
lime differs slightly from oyster•shell lime.
For composting, as a special application on
potatoes, it is perhaps, not at all inferior to
to rock limo, but fora top-dressing on sour,
wet lands, the latter is more effective."
Reaves in Horses.
A correspondent asks " Can you give me
a receipt for relieving heaves? I will not
ask for a cure, as I believe it is incurable."
And the Country Gentleman answers: Al
ways give moist food—as fresh clover,
green bay, Sc., in summer ; and chopped
cornstalks, bay, dm., moistened or scalded,
in winter. Avoid especially dusty hay or
any kind of dusty or poor feed. Dusty
Clover is poison. Greasy water, such as oc
curs in common dish-water, is a good thing;
nod when supplied alone for years, has
cured the disease in its incipient stages in
young horses.
GINGER BEER.—Four ounces of bruised
ginger root, one ounce of cream of tartar,
live pounds of white or light brown sugar,
and tho juice and rind of one 1. mon. Put
these in a vessel which can be covered and
pour on them live gallons of boiling water.
Let them stand for eight or ton hours in a
cool place, and then add one pint of porter ;
stir thoroughly, strain clear, and bottle in
strong bottles and tie the corks down imme
diately. Place in a moderately cool cellar,
and in three or four days it will be fit for
use.
COMPOS/TioN CAKE,—Try this. Take three
eggs, one half tea-cupful of butter, ono and
a half of sugar, two and a half of flour, one
half cupful ofsweet milk, one tea-spooonful
of cream of tartar, one half tea-spoonful of
soda, a little salt. This is sufficiently rich
fur almost any occasion. Flavored and
frosted, it is a good loaf cake. Baked in
shallow pans, it is nice for jelly cake, or in
patty-pans for fancy cake. It is a conveni
ent and reliable rule for the housekeeper.
There is no better fertilizer for strawber
ries than ashes. We remember that one of
the best crops we ever had was raised when
the only manure used was wood ashes. All
soils will not alike be benefited by such an
application; but it is always sale to use
ashes iu connection with other manures.
If ashes only are used, there are fewer
weeds, as no seeds can belintroduced by the
manure.
COFFEE. is highly recommended as a
neutralizerot foul odors, cud can be used to
advantage where other disinfectants would
be inudtnissable. In cases where rats or
mice die in spaces between the doors of
dwellings; a pound or two of freshly burnt
coffee will produce the desired effect. It is
also said to be incomparably superior in a
sicl chamber to most other disinfectants ;
it has a beneficial chemical action on the at
mosphere, besides giving out an agreeable
perfume.---ilearat and Rome.
SAILITOO-t GINOEIt SNAPS.—One cupful
brown sugar; one cupful of molasses; one
egg; smell cupful of butter; three tea
spoonfuls of ginger; one of vinegar; one of
saleratus; little nutmeg; sufficient flour to
roll stiff. Bake quickly.
Thurs.—Lemon butter is excellent for
tarts. It is made as follows : One pound
of pulverized white sugar, whites of six eggs
and yolks of two, three lemons, including
grated rind and juice; cook twenty minutes
over a blow tire, staring all the while.
