the flavor of the lemon.
Soye Ten. —Night sweats have been cu

Infusion for Rheumatism. —One ounce
of gum-guaiacuw must he bruised and put
into a pint of French brandy, in which it
must remain for at least thirty hours.—
When the gum is dissolved, shake the bot
tle, and pour a little of this infusion into
rather more than a wine-glassful of tepid
water; take this at bed-time, for three
uiglits.
Mixture for Rheumatism. —One ounce
of salad tp • t i r i must be simmered in a
pi ; w toil, water, till the liquor is reduced
to half a pint; strain it through muslin,
and add a pint of milk, fresh from the
cow. Let it boil only two minutes, and
take a small tea-cupful, milk-warm, night
and morning.
To dry Corn for Winter use. —Sweet
eotn is the best. Husk it. llavc a pot of
boiling water —put in your corn and let it
boil three minutes—then cut it from the
cobs and put it in pans in a warm oven. It
must be stirred frequently; when perfectly
dry put it away in bags. When wanted
lor use, soak it all night, next day boil it
an hour with a little salt; before it is dish
ed stir in Hour, pepper, and butter.
Retry Family to make their own Sweet
Oil. —With a small hand-mill, every fami
ly might make their own sweet oil. This
may easily be done, by grinding or beating
the seeds of white poppies into a paste,
then boil it in water, and skim off the oil as
it rises; one bushel of seed weighs fifty
pounds, and produces two gallons of oil.
Of the sweet olive oil sold, one half is oil
of poppies. The poppies will grow in any
garden; it is the large-head white poppy,
sold by apothecaries. Large fields are
sown with poppies in France and Flanders,
for the purpose of cxpressiug oil from their
seed for food. When the seed is taken
out, the poppy head when dried is boiled
to an extract, which is sold at two shillings
per ounce, and it is to be preferred to opi
um, which now sells very high. Large for
tunes may be acquired by the cultivation
of the poppies. Women and children
could attend to the cultivation of any quan
tity required for their own use, in making
oil, and it would be found a profitable
branch of industry, when engaged in 011 a
large scale.

Sketch from the Life of a Villain.
The lull history of Edwin W. lleed's
rascalities has never been written, and we
propose hero to supj ly a chapter that will
throw more light on the real character oi
this accomplished seducer and most plausi
ble rogue. We derive the fact 6 from au
thentic sources.
It is a fact not generally known that his
wife, who lives at West Springfield, is not
his wife, but a woman with whom Reed
many years ago eloped, leaving his wife to
die ot neglect, and his children to the
chances of the world. Reed married when
he was very young. His wife wasay'oung
lady ot Wilbraharu, Massachusetts, and by
her he had three children; one of is
now a young woman married, and a resi
dent of New Haven; the other two were
boys, now grown up, and clerks in Spring
field. The wife of Reed who lives now in
West Springfield, was a pupil of his years
ago iu one of his music classes—as his late
victim, Miss Laura Kendall, of Granby
was; and as, it is believed, several others
have been, at various times.
This young woman, before Reed married
Jxer, was, at his solicitation, taken into his
family, a 'boarder,' and soon afterward
Reed ran away with her to Canada,abandon
ing his wife and three young children to
their fate. His wile was thrown upon the
town, and eventually died in the poor
house. Heed and his companion passed
four years in Canada and \\ estern New
York, when hearing of the death ot his
wife, he caine back to W ilbrahaui, bring
ing with him his companion, now his wife.
At what time he married her, does not
seem quite certain 5 but she is of very re
spectable connexions in M ilbrahatn, and
bore to lieed three children.
Reed has occasioned no lit'le scandal '.n
towns where he had classes of music. lie
has the reputation of being a regular ' la
dy-killer," and a very great hypocrite, using
his professions of religion as a mask to fa
vor his vile purposes Ilis manner was ve
ry f rank and hearty, and he carried such
an air of earnestness, honesty, and good
nature, that he deceived men and women
alike as to' his real character. He would
shake hands with all friends in a whole-soul
ed manner, and appear so lull of fresh,
verLriming ' human' good feeling, as to
dis.:; I, -111 suspicion, and win hostsof friends
among lb most influential classes of some
ty.
When Deacon Kendall's daughter, Miss
Laura Kendall, disappeared, suspicion be
gan to fasten upon him ; but he put on an
air of injured innocence, and contrived to
put down suspicions in most cases. All
this time Miss Kendall was living at South
Boston, where she had a child by Reed —
the little girl of four years, whose recogni
tion of her father in jail a fortnight
so affected the bystanders who witnessed
that scene. Hearing at length of Deacon
Kendall's death, and that he had willed to
Laura a handsome share of his property,
Reed induced the poor girl, who still loved
him with all a woman's affection, to go
home to Gran by and get her pa: lion ot the
money. This he subsequently got posses
sion of.
When Laura's brother, Howard Kendall,
of Grauby, went to South Boston to get
the body ot bis unfortunate sister, be was
directed to premises occupied by another
victim of Reed's passions—a good looking
Irish girl, who was there living with her
babe, the evidence of her shame and
Reed's guilty arts. Finding how things
were, Mr. Kendall told the girl that Reed
then had a wife and children living in West
Springfield ; hut the girl stoutly refused to
believe a word of this. Mr. Kendall then
told her that his own visit to South Boston
was to recover all that was mortal of his
own sister, at that moment lying a corpse
in that neighborhood, and who had been,
as she (the Irish girl) was, a victim of
Reed's debaucheries. The poor girl was
completely overcome by this revelation of
her seducer's guilt and her own doom.
The little daughter of Laura Kendall,
ijuw about four years old, will probably he
adopted into a family living in Tariffville,
near Grauby, friends of the lithe girl's dead
mother.
Reed's married daughter .:i New Haven
seems still to low r father, and clings to
him with all filial •?traction, in spite of the
revelations of Lis wrong-doing. — Hartford
Times, Jan. bth.
A good Rebuke. —Watty Morrison, a
Scotch clergyman, was a man of great wit
and humor. On one occasion he entreat
ed the officer at Fort George to pardois a
poor fellow that was sent to the halbcrts.
The officer offered to grant his request if
he would, in return, grant him the first fa
vor he would ask. Mr. Morrison agreed
to this, and the officer immediately deman
ded that the ceremony of baptism should
Le performed on a puppy. The clergy
man agreed to it, and a part)'of gentlemen
assembled to witness the novel baptism.
Mr. Morrison desired the officer to hold up
the dog, as was necessary in the baptism of
children, and said :
'As I am a minister of the Church of |
Scotland, I must proceed according to the !
ceremonies of the Church.'
' Certainly,' said the major, ' I expect all
the ceremony.'
'Well then, major, T begin with the usual
question: Do you acknowledge yourself!
the father of this puppy V
A roar of laughter burst from the crowd, t
whilst the officer in great confusion threw 1
the candidate for baptism away.
Dogs. —The best way to keep a dog 1
healthy is to give him plenty of exercise,
and not to over-feed him.

A Splendid Large Extended Oven
Gas Burning Cooking Stove,
FOR COAL OR WOOD.
IT has long been a favored object with stove
dealers to construct a flat top down draft
Cooking Stove that would combine all the ad
vantages of excellent draft, large oven and good
baking properties, with the use of a moderate
amount of fuel. These desirable qualities have
all been combined in the flat top Gas Burning
Cooking Stove, the DAYLIGHT. This beau
tiful stove, the result of many years' experi
ence, and combining all the improvemeuts of
the age, is one of the most perfect made. It
opeiates in the most perfect manner, and in sit
uations where other flat top stoves would fail to
operate. The Daylight, during the past year,
has given the most entire satisfaction, and is
surpassed by no stove of the same class. It is
new ir, design, beautiful in appearance, unsur
passed in its operation?, and a great saver of
i'uel. They are warranted to give entire satis
faction. 0311 and examine the Daylight, at the

Simple and Economical!
MANY attempts have been made to p. -luce
a Coffee l'ot capable of condensing and
retaining the aroma and strength of the Coffee
ordinarily wasted by evaporation, and yet be
simple enough to come within the limits of or
dinary comprehension. Hitherto this desirable
end has been very imperfectly attained, and by
means difficult to explain and understand.
THE OLD EMPIRE CjFFEE PDT
has none of those faults; on the contrary it is
so arranged as to condense perfectly, and thete
by retain all the rich fragrance and strength of
the Coffee, giving a most delicious beverage at
a quarter less expense, and yet is so perfectly
simple that it is actually impossible to make
any mistake. A child can comprehend the
whole thing perfectly. All who have used this
Coffee Pot are delighted with its great simplicity
and excellence. For sale at the Tin and Stove
