l'novlDENcß, It. 1., October 12.--On
Tuesday a man was buried from the
French corvette d'Estange, in Newport
harbor, and today it is learned that Ids
death was the result of a fracas on board
the ship ,in which he was stabbed, and
that the criminal is in irons on board the
vessel. The Newport police authorities
appear to know nothing about the affair,
only from hearsay.
The Art of Bouquet• Making
All bouquets designed to be carried in
the hand should, as far as possible, ac
cord with the color of the dress worn
by the fair owner. Regarded simply as
a finish to a well-assorted toilette, a
bongos lends, in every sense or the
word, . most pleasing effect. Well-in
tention , d persons, however, who send
to a ' lst to provide a bouquet for pre
sentation, without having previously
ascertained the shades or 1.1“, costume
likely to be worn by the recipient, are
unwittingly liable to commit an ex 7
tremely embarrassing, act of politeness.
Admitting that flowers are always beau
tiful, their beauty is never a whit di
1111111Siled by being selected with a view
to harmonious blending of color; and
if this principle is disregarded, much of
their intrinsic charm is necessarily lost.
Year by year 4.11 e judicious assortment
of flowers is inermsingly engaging the
attention of first-rate gardeners. \Veil
arranged flower beds are no longer the
D>tr(cu,rfr of all sorts of colors; it was for
merly considered no violation 'of good
taste to permit them to be. tinder the
improved system, every flower is plant
ed in juxta-positions likely to enhance
the floral effect of the whole igrrfcrr,
viewed at a glance, and not in detail.
And this is just what it is desirable
should be observed in the act of putting
together flowers to be carried in the
Laud. Insoperable from the toilette as
such additions beecine, they should be
constructed in harmony with the whole
attire.

which arc to form the top of the bouquet

those which are to form the outside tiers
must be bent out by the aid of the wire
to the romired shape. This cannot be
easily done unless the 110 wers are fasten

flowers which iL is decided shall appear

Whenever foliage is introduced, all the
leaves that are not intended to he seen
strip off. Any gaps that may be ap
parent between tile flowers are best
filled in with such growths a. 9 n
hair, ferns, points of myrtle stems, and
the like. As a finish, long blades of
field grasses in seed may be slipped in
after• the bouquet is complete. A slen
der stick or bundle of several stalks
should he in the centre of the bouquet,
to wiml the thread upon which fastens
the flowers. Each flower or group of
flowers should be wound on the stick
separately. Amateurs mostly wind the
flowers too near the top, leaving little
room to expand the grouping of flowers
and producing consequently a crushed
appearance of the bloom. If the flowers
are fastened separately to their wires,
there is no need to-wind them higher on
the centrestiek than one-third of its full
length, measured from the bottom of
the stalks.
Of all the tempting flowers to collect
in a bouquet, roses are the most invit
ing, and at the same time the most dif
ficult of management. I have had the
pleasure lately, however, of observing,
in a very magnificent and massive bou
quet, how artistically the difficulties
LANCASTER, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING OCTOBER 19 1870
may be overcome. The bouquet in
question was of immense size, and the
roses comparatively few: but each was
a specimen flower, and care had been
taken not only to show the bloom, but
the bud and foliage belonging to the
rose. Every part of the rose was wired,
and where the leaves and buds did not
grow conveniently, they had been made
to appear to grow by being fastened on
on wire. The Ppru i of the bouquet
was unusually great, and the wide eiaps
between the flowers had been tilled in
with ferns of tui-uute foliage, each
branch of which had fleyn spread by the
use of pliers and wire to fill the spaces.
Altogether, for a massive bouquet, the
studiest lightness of of Was a
of art.
Pullings of lace, tulle, or blonde are
quite out of place round a bouquet. The
best thing is drooping grasses or ferns.
Ribbon grasses have been in great favor
this season for the purpose.
There are some very gout paper back
ings made now for concealing the stalks
of the bouquet. These are made in a
dome-like shams', and need no folding to
make them circular. A handle, hke that

There were always several weeks in

And I was very sure that I never could

would ever love tie.
One day Mr. Mar.-hall came to dine.
Extra attention was given to the 1111115 e

With my assistance she served the
dinner herself; and managed so as to be

She WaS COM and stately ; but 1, who had
lingered until the last moment in the
kitchen, making gravies and serving up
vegetables, WaS so tired that I could
hardly speak. I never did talk much,
though, so it was not noticed, apparent
ly. Mr. ;Marshall conversed of books,
pictures and music, all of which Julia
Was acquainted with, and it was agree
able to listen to them. I was sorry when
the meal was finished.
Mr. Marshall turned to look at. Ow

after a few moments my aunt commen
ced clearing the table. The dishes were
put through a slide in the cupboard in
the kitchen. I helped her to do this.
Julia stood looking out of the window.
V \Vhen the table Was cleared of the
dishes my aunt went out. I sat down
and took my sewing, thinking that my
aunt would be back in a moment to fin
ish clearing the table, and that I should
be allowed, during the afternoon, the
place of a guest. Mr. Marshall spoke to
me and asked me to play backgammon.
It was the only game of pleasure that I
knew, and I was delighted at the
thought. I put down my sewing, and
he brought the board and arranged the
game. Julia sat in a corner of the sofa
with some embroidery. Just as we
were ready to play, I looked up and saw
that the table still stood spread with
its linen cloth, and the crumb-cloth had
not been taken up. Julia glanced at it
the same moment and then turned so-

the box timidly.
"Excuse me, said 1 "toy aunt is not

Settlements, too ' are approaching the
treeless regions or the plains. By wh a t
agency the NVestern prairies and the
country beyond have been denuded it
is useless to speculate.
" It is true that there is a large region
in the vicinity of Gcorgiait Eity and the
Province of Ontario, Canada, as yet
hardly touched by the woodman's :iv%
iMt when we take into consideration
the vast extent of territory of the West

heavily drawn upon each ynoir for the
demands of die \Vest and South, and
the question is, can any plan be devised
to replace the loss by consumption of
lumber now being exhausted with such
prodigality? In Europe, among the
questions that for the last century have
been important in the emneils or the
nations, has been th,:t. of preservation
and adding toihe
_growth of the'
woods ititllc cOlllll ries, valiewk, or d er ,
°lntern are accorded to the men who
preserve or grow the tiinbcr needed for
ornament or manufacture. And to the
intelligent man from England, France,
or Prussia there is no sight that occa
sions him more surprise and pain than
the recklessness with which he secs our
wood cut down in the forest, lost in the
transit by carelciisness, or wasted in the
manufacture. Wo Americans are not
exempt front the stupidity that has
taught the people of the Ohl World such
a fearful lesson. The destruction of our
forests and denudation of our prairies of
their primative vegetation have made
fearful inroads upon our climate. The
rains have less frequency, and when
they do come are more deluging, than
formerly. Wci are more frequently
suffering from the opposite extremes
of excessive droughts and destructive
inundations. Our springs, brooks and
rivers are drying up. Our old folks all
tell us that brooks now morn than half
I the time dry, in their childhood atrool
ied constant water power to mills; and
proof of what tabey say, point the
nulls site long since bandon. \V by
is this Because our forests have long
since succumbed, or are rapidly disap
pearing before the use of the woodman
and the tires of the incendiary, and our
flocks havedenuded the prairies of their
primitive grasses. Experience has es
tablished the fact that those regions, by
protection from lire and proper care.
may be covered with a growth equal I.
the wan Ls of the settlers. and may be
continually renewed for all time.
"Projects have been suggested ro t
planting and rearing forests, and yet,
while all descriptions of timber are be
coming more scarce in settled commun
ities, and more expensive, it is never
theless the conviction that the evil nay

lie encouraged, and every fanner and
individual consult their greatest wait.
The method of planting and rearing
trees is reduced to a science. It is known
that the pine and lir tribe are generally
grown on sandy, shallow surface soil ;
other trees are native of swamps; while
the oak, hickory, chestnut, and others of

Not a coNV discoveries in the arts and

aecident. The use of the pendulum,
suggested by the vibrating of a chan

the lid of a teakettle; the utility of coal

Professor I pal crud of Bologna, in Italy,
gave his name to the operation, but his

the credit of the discovery. She being
in bad health, some frogs were ordered
for her. .\s they lay upon the tattle,
skinned, she noticed that their limbs

lot-band's attention to the fact ; he in
stituted a series of experiments, and in
750 the galvanic battery was invented.
rears later, with that discov
ery for his basis, Professor Alessandro
Volta, also an Italian, announced his
discovery of the " voltaic pile."
The iiist,very or glass-making was

Blanco:1. says that the making of

Lundy Foot, the celebrated snarl'
111:0111faelurer, originally kept a small
tobacconist shop at Limerick. On one
I night his house, which was uninsured,
! burned to the ground. As he itontem
plated the smoking ruins on the follow

despair, some of the poor neighbors,
groping among the embers for what. they
could find, stumbled upon several can
isters of unconsumed but half baked
snuff, which they (tied, and found it so
pleasant to their noses that they loaded

Foot, aroused from his stupor, imitated
their l'rt:llllide :Mil took a pinch of his
own property, when he was struck by
the superior pungency and flavor it had

set about the manufacture of that high

Flirt Photographed
"A dirt is like a dipper at a public
pump, from which all may drink hot
none carry away." This :Ipplies to both
:e:: es. If the drlinil ion of flirtation is a
" play at courtship," it is a comedy, of
ten ending in a tradegy, in which either
or all of the participants come to grief.
Then• arc a thousand varieties of flirta
tion, of which we will mention a few.
tailor flirtations (according to the wri
ter's observations) are harmless fafirs
especially those of the period, which
merely consist of an intercourse of
smiles, compliments, and a inure strict
regard than unusal of the many little
points of eti,ptette "so faking' with
either sex. Whispered soft nothings"
on the gentleman's part, a graceful ac
nowledgemtent or retaliation on the lady.

IL is amusing - to watch a couple carry
ing on a flirtation, where both imagine
the other the victim. Gentleman leans
over the chair of his`fair partner, fan
ning her. Ile is telling her (what he
Ices already 10111 to a score) that she is
the "belle of the evening ;" wishes he
"Was the glove upon that hand," or the
flower with which she is touching her lips
to hide the smile that will come as she
reinarks: "1 tis a wonder that he is not
ituiLcspniled by beingshown such mark
ed preference by our sex; but really lie is
so irresistably agreeable that we cannot
help." She mentally adds —" It's like
you to believe it," and he shows it is,
and caresses his mustache in a self
satisfied loan ner. This the principal
ingredients in a parlor flirtation are
agreeableness, a little deceit, a great
deal of flattery, a vast amount of hum
bug, and a man adapting himself to suit
a woman for his own amusement; a
wonum knowing this, and being exces
sively amused thereby. So the mutual
understanding is a safeguard against
blighted affection and broken hearts.
White Men a Spurious Race.
Look over this globe of ours and you
will find that in India the native races
are of all colors from yellow to black ; in
China they are yellow ; In Arabia the
same, and so in Turkey. In Africa all
black. On the continent of America,
and in all the islands of the world, cop
per-colored—thus making all the un
whites more than three-fourths of all the
world even now. Where did the whites
collie from? Don't know. They were
great thieves—they stole the Sabine
women, they stole people's lands, they
stole whole nations and made slaves of
them. In later times they have found a
cheaper way of leaving people free and
owning them still. Instead of stealing
the land and turning people off, they lot
them stay and take it out in taxes—and
instead of buying and selling men, they
give them *ages till they are worn out,
and then sant them to the poor house,
and run that,with' Inure taxes. The
black people iu the interior of Africa

NUMBER 42
A Work for Each
In one of the parables of our I,ord he
said, " The 6,,n of Man la as a man tak
ing a long journey, who left his house
and gave authority to his servants, and
to el., ry num his work."
Every man has a work divinely al
toted and adjusted. This work is pre-'
settled in various forms; but whether in
the shape of the duties of common life,
the secular concerns of every day, or
the direct ditties (f religion. it is really
One in spirit. And as every has his own
work assigned him, so must he accept
it front God, and in it do all in leis power
to glorify his Father who is in heaven.
It is a sad mistake to look upon the work
of the church as one for the minister,
elder, or deacon only. 'Flint was not
the plan of Um church which Christ set
up in the world. It Wa.Sllol'llle:lpt.slieS
and inspired men alone who entered in
to this great work. Read the Acts of
the A postles; read thi• Epistles nt those
apostles, especially of Paul. Notice
how often he records the names of men
and women also, who were his "
fellOw
helpers." Many of those seem to have
been in the common walks of life. Itut
they were all workers, they were all
evangelists, they were 11l witnesses for
Christ. Wherever they went, where
ever they abode', they made the gospel
known.
That was the plan of operation in the
early Chttrell,lllld the church now which
most nuthfuily carries it out, will most
please God. 'rho great draw-back now
is that this primitive idea of universal
consecration does not pervade the mem
bers of stir churches. \V here is I Ile evi
denee [hal every man and woman within

richest and the poorest, the inot4 accom

one to be ashamed to belong to any part
of the christian church, and to be doing
no work in it. They may think they
have no time, but it is a vain plea. They
find time for ()Cher matters. How many
find time enough for things which (1,,
them no good, often much harm. I tow
easily they might tint) time fur religious
services that, if performed heartily unto
the Lord, would refresh and strengthen
them for the toil and burden•, of life. A
late writer has most appropriately
asked, "Do you nut think that wL•cu
Paul was working with his hands to
supply his wants, he would be
.strengthened for the task by the recol
lection that the night before,tnden•over
(f darkness, he found his way to some
obscure street in the oily, and showed
to a multitude of sinners the way of sal
vation by Christ, and by the tolliripa
tion that this night again, when the
people came together to hear him, he
should preach among them the un

The advantages to be derived from car

in the dark, and without Cmel for eight
hours before being released.
The message is written on very thin
paper, and enclosed in an envelope tied
around the body and under the wings.
Another inconvenience, when the jour
ney is fora long distance, trines from the
bird's alighting in quest of water, by
which the message may receive injury
and be obliterated. I n order to alleviate
the pangs of th irst it is customary to bat Ile
the pigeon's foot in vinegar, so as to keep
them cool. The, instinct by which the

birds possess equal and even greater

home at a rate of thirty miles an hour.
The carrier pigeon is of a remarkably
large size, being fifteen inches ill tau ghlt
from the point of the bill to the end of
the tail. The naked skin till Ihr bill is
very large, and is covered with red
fleshy excrescences; the eyes are sur
rounded with a broad circle of naked red
skin, and the wings reach nearly to the
extremity of the tail. The carrier pig

An Allegory
Thu old man was toiling through the
burden and heat of the day, in cultiva
ting his own land, and depositing the
promising seed in the fruitful lap of
yielding earth. Suddenly there stood
before him, under the shade of u huge
linden tree, a vision. The old man was
struck with amazement.
" I am Solomon," spoke tln• phantom,
in a friendly voice. " What arc you
doing here, old man?"
"if you are Solomon," replied the
venerable laborer,'' " how can you :eds.
this? In my youth you sent me to the
ant? I saw its occupation, and learned
from that insect to be industrious and
to gather. What I then learned I hive
followed out to this hour."
" You have only learned half your
lesson," replied the spirit. " again
to the ant and learn to rest in the win
ter of your life, and to enjoy what you
have gathered up."
The Cradle and the Old]Arm Chair
No house is complete without two
pieces of furniture—the cradle and the
old arm chair. No house is full that
bath not in it a babe and grandfather or
grandmother. Life becomes more radi
ant and perfect when its two extremes
keep along with it.
The two loves which watch the cradle
and serve the chair are one. But how
different lit all their openings and ac
tions. To the child the heart turns with
more tenderness of love. To the aged
parent love is borne upon a service
of reverence. Through the child you
look forward—through the parent you
look backward.
In the child you see hope, joys to
come, brave ambitition and a life yet to
be drawn forth in all its many sided
experiences. Through the silver haired
parent, you behold the past in its scenes
enacted, its histories registered.

'l'll,, primary idea of the pastoral work
is to win souls. It gives the minister
the grandest power of the world—heart
power. The majority of our congrega
tions are reached not so touch through
the illtPfitS'i as through the affections.
'Phial is a happy fact; lor only err man
In tell has the talent to become a great
preacher; but all ithe other nine, if they
love Jesus and the souls of MOH, can be

pastor such heart powers as personal id-
Millions to his people—est:eel:llly in the
way for personal sympathy with them
in their sea.sons of trial. Let the pas
tor be in the habit of dropping in famil
iarly to his people's houses; let him
come often, and visit their sick rooms,
or kneel beside their empty cradles, Mid
pray with them ; let him go and see the
business men in his flock when they
have met with reverses, and give thein
a word of tie •r; let hint recognize and
speak kindly to their children--and he
will have woven a cord about the peo
ple's heart that will stand a tremendous
pressure. Ile can then launch the most
pungent, and painful truths at them

offense at hint ; for he will have won
their hearts to himself, and that is a
mighty step toward winning them to

Salting Much Cows
In Switzerland the cows urn salted
early every morning, and If fed In the
stable the salt is given before foddering.
By salting in this way their appetite is
improved, they drink with more regu
larity, keep in better health, and give
more milk, than when salted In the
usual way, as practiced by dairy men in
America. The Swiss dairymen think
it very injurious to salt milch cows only
once or twice a week, as they will lick
too much salt at one time, and drink
too much water for the day ; they con
sider that stock in order to do well must
be fed with regularity every day alike,
and never give too much of anything at
one time.
