POETICAL
SNOW BIRDS.
Tho tanlnger and oriole
Are birds uf finest feather.
And their sweat songs delight tho soul
In sunshine summer weather ;
But they have flown away with boat
Of other swift or slow birds,
Aud hither now from polar coasts
Ply flocks of morry snow birds. i
1 he black bird and the bobolink,
Tho pewee and the swallow.
From winter's withering breath, too, shrluk,
And summer's footsteps follow.
In the crisp meads Mid bleak, bare trees,
' I find but few or tio birds,
rave those that lore the "hilly breete,
Tbeligbtsotne little suow birds.
Tho brooding wren her wooden house
lias loug ago lelt lonely ;
In many a homo on wild-wood boughs
There nestle dry leaves only ;
Out winter, who drives birds awny,
Would on us tain bestow birds ;
To soothe Iho rior el' his sway,
lie seuds the twittering envw birds.
The robin Is with us yet, I know, ,;
The chickadee and blue bird,
And so. too, is the ruble cruw,
Through every chunge a true bird ;
Hut winter is no friend ol theirs,
No good thee rude Hits blow birds';
They seem to ihink, and not nno shares
Too joyanve of the snow birds.
When all the air Is dark and drear,
And olotids o'er heaven are flying,
1 And wailing winds we, shivering, hear
'J bo tempest prophesying ;
Like Jolly spirits, iu garments gray,
Lo! sudden come aud so birds:
We look around, and sigh, and say,
" 'Twill snow, for there are suow birds V
Ti Iruo they oft aro hnrbingers
Uf rough and stormy weatlior i
But joy, not grief, my spirit stirs,
To see them sport toguthor.
Metbiiiks they're lor our sulnce sent,
Aud uuunsvl. loo, ultbuugh birds,
For who on dork days tuauu uoi.Uiil
. bo well as do tbe suow birds !
The snow, by many signs foretold,
Now fust, nt li st, is lulling ;
The lone lost wind, growu bitter cold,
With luuflled voices calling.
Oh! how will now those rovnlers fire ?
No ruth tho frost imps show birds;
Yin I'uai ! Oio Jor no sholtur care,
The tiny stoic snow birds
For tbey were cradled in the storm ;
, Their mates were icy breeios ;
Their good grny coats will keep them warm,
Whatever round Iboui frcesee.
Ab I let us pray thnl one above,
As we are not below birds,
Will guard with 11 is heavenly love,
kv n as he guards the snow birds '.

i'jiusee, of S'JxisloMion ol" "iil Oil
l,:imiil Uluublv Eiinta.
I'ri'iiii'iug that good ccal oil is not ex-
iilufive. Mini Unit iteiidcnlf. from eon I oil
itriji.' from l!a: use of tliittuhich is imper
fectly nuiiiiilitclitred or llitit which has lieen
mliilteralLtl with liinzinc, giiBoline, or Mimc-
' thing of that description, the writer pays:
Accii'ctits arising from the admixture of (
! these vulialimeca with coil oil, nre due entire
i ly to the lueility with which the vapor ia
j produced from them utl'i.v Icmpciuttircs
But tiiia vupiu is not exphiKive ; to rentier
it so, it mtiMt be mixed with nir. Thia is
the important point. A lamp nmy lie filled
i with liud oil or with vapor even, and in no
1 possible way can it explode unless ntmog
: pheriu nir has somehow got mixed with the
i vnpor. A lump, therefore, full, or nearly
full, of the liquid is s:d'e ; and also one fuil
i of pure, warm vapor ia wil't.'. Explosions
' generaUy occur when the lamp is first lighted
': without being tilled, and nUo luto in the
evening, when tho fluid I nearly exhausted.
Let us examine the reason ol this. In using
imperfect oi adulterated oil, the space above
the oil is always tilled "ith vapor, und so
louo us il is wurin and rising lieelv, no nir
can reach it audit is side. At night the j
liglit is exl iiiL'tiished, the lump cools and
tho vupor is condensed, the place il once
occupied being instantly tilled with air.
Now the mixture, is ni 'ie or less explosive,
and wheo upon the next evening, thu lamp
is lighted without replenishing the oil, ns is;
often dune, un expiosion is very likely to I
tako place. Latu in the evening, when
the oil is nearly consuiiicil, and t lie space
above is tilled willi vapor, the lump cunuot !
explode it allowed to remain ut rest. But I
take ll to u cool mum. tlie vapor l contleu- ocing nnuttainnble it limit splendor of uc
sed, nir luslies in, und un explosion i opt to j tivity nnd of delicate strength. The kind
follow. What are the practical rules lo be
. derived liom this cxplunatiou ?
I First, obtain good conl oil. But how are
the common people to know good from bait
coal oil ? A simple and safe experiment
1 will test the matter. Fill a pint bowl ubout
two thirds full of boiling water; pluiigo in
a common thermometer; tho temperature
, indicated will lie about 200 degrees. Now
i gradually add cold water until the thcr
j mounter indicate 1 10 degrees ; then pour
j into the bo I u tiu-poonl'ul of the suspected
nil and apply it lighted match. It it take
I fi re the ui title should be rejected ut once us
j dangerous ; if not, it maybe
usod with a I
I confident leeling ot safety.
I Never light a lump until previously filled,
not partly, but tilled full. Never allow a
j lamp to burn until thu oil is exhausted, or,
I if you do, bo cuieful how jou move it when
j t ti us nearly empty. Never blow into thu
chimney to extinguish thu light a there is
great daugcr of forcing nir aud flume at the
same time into thu body of the lump, but
I turn down tho wick slowly until it goes out
ot itself:

they prevent or correct the deformities to
which these organs are liable. They nre

than common salt; for while the crude potash-salts
gave an increase, ol nearly fcewt.
