If the Heart is all.Right.
BY MINXIE MAY.
Should the darts of misfortune
Around you be hurled,
Should the dark flag of fate
O'er our bark be unfurled;
Your brighest hopes vanir-h,
And day turn to night;
You yet may ll-el happy, . ;
If the heart is ail riylit.
Should friends all desert you
And those proObred most ;
Like the rainbows' vanish,
Their love's but a boast.
Should thny leave you forever
Likc the meteor's light:
You'll bc happy without them,
If the heart is ull right.
Let the foul tongue of slander
Mark you for its aim ;
Let dark deeds of malice
Assnil your fair name ;
Let hatred suround you,
With its withering blight,
Secure they have found you
If the heart is all right.
Let death and its anguish
Claim you for its own;
Oh, why should you languish
Far away from that home.
The bright land of gladness-,
Thai's free from all night,
Unthought of by sadness,
If the heart is all right.

Lime Water for Bread.
Liebig, the German chemist, having
made many experiments, recommends the
making of wheat and rye bread, by using
a pint of lime water to five pounds of
flour. He urges the abandonment of the
use of salaratus in the raising of bread,
and to substitute therefor pure baker's
yeast and lime water. 'Cream of tartar
and carbonate of soda arc far inferior to
common yeast for making wholesome
bread, fsay3 the Scientific American.
The lime water is prepared by stirriug
some quick lime in cold water, then after
allowing the sediment to settle, draw ib
off, and put it in bottles for use. No caro
is required about the quantity of lime, as
tho water will imbibe only a certain
quantity.
