T0KTICAL
ON A SPITlflFUL LETTISH.
bt alfrkd trxxyion, d. o. l.
Here, it is here the closo of tho year,
And with it a spiteful letter;
My faino in song hus done him much wrong,
For himself has done muoh hotter.
O, foolish bard. Is your lot so hard.
It uo'n negleut jour page ?
I think not much of yours or of mine J
I hour the roll of ao.
This fiillon lour, Ifn't fame as brief?
My rhymes may have beon tbe stronger,
lei hurt, me mil, but abido your lot;
I lust but a moment lnniter.
0, fidod leaf, isn't rnmo as brief?
Wliut room is hero for a hater?
Yet tho yellow leaf hatos tho groenrr loaf,
For it bungs one moment later.
Greater thnn I isn't that your cry ?
And I sbnll live to see it.
Well, if it be so, so it is. you know ;
And if it be so. so be it !
O, summer leaf, hn't life as brief ?
lint this is the time ot hollies ;
And my hoart, my heart is an evergreen,
I hate tho sjiites and tbe follies.
Tlio lrlsilrr'a Toll.
Blow, ye stormy winds of winter,
Drive tho chilly, driftinirsnow.
Closely housed, the busy printer
Heeds not how tbe winds may blow.
Click, click, his type go dropping,
Hero and there upon his case,
As be stands for hours popping
Lvcry lotter in its plaeo.
Heaven send the useful printer
Kvery comfort mortals need.
For our nights were dull in winter
Had we not the news to read.
Sad would be (ho world's condition
If no printer boys were found ;
Ignorance and superstition,
in and sullering would abound.
Ye., it U Iho busy printer
Hoi Is the cur of knowledge on,
And a gloomy mental winter
Soon would reign if ho were gono.
Money's useful, yet tho winters
Fill not half so li i n h a place
As the busy, toiling printers.
Fingering type before tho oase.
Yet whilo the type they're busy sotting,
Oft soino thankless popinjay.
Leaves the country, kindly letting
Printers whistle for their pay.
Oh ! ineratitudo .ingrncinus !
Are there on enlightened soil
Men with minds so incapacious

1'itrgcr regiment, fought dooiin the war, wuz
wounded in severul spots, and nurrowly es
caped the just retriboosheu inljicted opto
em at Fort Filler. At the close of the war
he went to Ohio with bis wife and two chil
dren, but he did not it-main there. It wuznt
pleasant for him. There wuz a sudden cooliu
towards the niiirer. and lie felt it. Ez they
didn't need em any more to nil quotas and

brother was tlie same d d uigger be al'uz
wuz. Somewhat disgustid, pertiklerly ez
w hen he cnlistid tie wuz credited to Ohio,
lie returned to Kentucky, determined to lite
it out here. The Cross ltouds receeved biin
quietly. He saved a little money out uv the
scrvi and bought gome land up towards
Uarrettstown, aid built onto it a cabin.
Somehow the world didn't go smooth with

and bis grpajo crops wuz destroyed. Im

Skating lor ii-l.
The American Agriculturist for February,
under tlie ubove head, replies tc "an anxious
mother" "in regard to skating as a proper
amusement for girls. Wo agree with tho
editor when he says that ho can see no rea
sonable objection to it on the score of health
or morals. Wo have known occasional in
stances of injury to the health from indul
gence in this amusement, but it was clearly
traceable to unsuitable clothing, and impru
dent exposure alter tho exercise. The same
causes would have been quite as damaging
to the health of boys. It is a very common
error to suppose tbut girls need clothing less
substantial thau their brothers, because they
usually spend much leas uf their time in the
open air. This is ratheran argument for war
mer clothing, that thty may feel tho change
less, and bo guarded against taking cold.
Too thin clothiug lor giils is a radical vice
iu our household economy. A great outcry
against thin shoes was made a few years ago,
and the fashion was changed very much for
the better.
IJut this was only a singlo item in which
reform was demauded. The girl is quite as
sensible to cold us her brother, and demands
as much clothing from head to foot. The
want of it accounts for much of the neural
gia, the rheumatism, and diseases of tho
throat aud lunge, that afllict our American
women. Tho English set us an admirable
example in this respect. With a climate
much less severe than ours in winter, they
tlress much warmer, and their women aro
trained from girlhood to, out-door pursuits
and amusements. They grow up with robust
constitutions, well acquainted with the mys
teries of the field and garden, of the barn
and stock-yard, as much accustomed to rid
ing aud walking, and as capable of enduring
fatigue as man. Their shoes may be a little
clumsy, aud their complexion not so delicate,
but they have what is hftter than any ex
ternal grace, sound bodies, and that good
common seuso which comes of pratical ac
quaintance with out-door life. 1 heir refine
ment is not measured by dress aid complex
ion. We have welcomed the present fashion of
skating, because it took our girls more into
the open air, aud enabled them to share the
amusements of the other sex. It is not ne
cessarily too severe ; it strengthens the mus
cles and accustoms the body to graceful
movements. For aught we can see, the girls
take to it as kindly as the boys, and it is
quit.o as helpful in their physical traiuing.
Of course this amusement, like any other,
needs regulation, and must have its appro
priate times and places. It may become s
mania and interfere with more important
matters. It may lead fo midnight excursions
aud bad company. Thero is no pluco of
absolute safety, eitUcr in work or play, for
the young. They need amusements quite as
mticii as work, and kindly oversight and
guidance in both.

A gentleman in Cambridge has invented
a process by which wood may take the place
of paper in tbe adornment of bouse wall:
"A very delicate, simple and beautiful
machiue ihas been constiucled, which will
take a portion of a tree after it bus been cut
tho right length and width, and shave it up
iuto thin ribbons as wide as a roll of bouse
paper, making iuu or 13U to the tucu. these
rolls of wood are placed on the walls by
laper-bangers w ith paste and brush, precise
y in the same piftsuer with paper. The
wood is wet when used, and really works
easier than paper, because it is much more
tough and pliable. In three days, when
variety is sought for, oue can uoish the walls
of his house iu different woods, to suit bis
taste. Ouo room can be finished in bird's
eye maple, arjotber iu chetUnut, another in
cherry, another iu white wood, and so on.
Thus he has no imitation, but the real, genu
ine article upon big walls. Tbe eye tires of
sc figures, such as we have in ordinary
paper-hangings, but never of nature itself.
The longer tho wood banging remains on
the wall, tbe more distinct win tie me grain
and color of tbe wood, Tbe expense of
wood is lest than paper. Of course, if one
wants to uiako a very handsome room, bo
can uce expensive wood like rosewood ; but
tbe ordinary kinds, gome of which are very
handsome, are very cheap, Tbe walls of
kilchini) aud common rooms can be covered
in this war so as to make tbe expense very
small. Tbe wood can bo oiled, vsrnUhed or
shellacked, and then washed at pleasure,
and tbui kept perfectly clean. It will not

is very thin, and a log measuring twenty

By panncling with different kinds of wood
a room may be finished in elegant stvle and
mado to correspond with the furniturp. For
example, if the furniture is chestnut, with
black walnut trimmings, tho walls could be
hung with the same kind of wood. Thus
all tastes could be gratified, and parties who
may use this kind of hanging will find that
it will stand very much longer than paper,
and will improve by age."

Recently a man named McEwen, was in
dicted at Newark, N. J., for appearing in
tho streets in a nude condition. His trial
occurred the present week, tho jury being
out filtceti hours without agreeing upon u
verdict. Tho case will bo understood from
the testimony of Miss Altliea It..oo.
young and handsome lady of nineteen ycuVs-
mo viiuc me eiinuiuon occurred mo
ther was greatly excited, owing much, I
think, to the death of her sister, aim .i;.i .
short time previously j I do not remember
mo exact language sho or iMcEwcn used at
tho time, but I am sure nothing improper
was sail! by any one of us, ueither did wo
make any immodest gestures at thin or n
other time; I have known Mr. McEwen
siuce last November ; our belief is about the
same as we get from the Hible, and it is sim
ilar to the so-called Spiritualism ; wo be
lieve that we should do as Christ did that
is commune with the spirits; nothing was
done, on tho occasion referred to, either
from lasciviousncss or wautonness ; I do
not exactly believe the samo as the others
do, though I did on New Year's Dnv mn.
sidering the state of Mr. McEwen's mind, I
tninn it was right for lum to do as ho did ;
if ho was called to do fit) nnw T tiiinLr it
would bo perfectly right; we had to mind
what mother and tho spirits commamli.il n
to do; they said ma must go into the streets
naked if we did not show ourselves to the
public at tho window; I went according to
the teachings of the Scriptures, and tlicv
say "Children, obey your parents," conse'
quently I did so ; ma made every one in tho
house do just what she wanted them to ; I
do not think that Mr. McEweu would do so
again, fori do not believe tho spirits want
lum ; we believed iu Spiritualism before
McEwen camo to our house; in all of our
actions we acted on tho principle "that to
mo jjuru an tilings are pure. '
In reply to the question as to whether
McEwen ever undrjiAsed before 0 her pre
sence, she said that she would rather not
tell. Her answer being insisted upon she
answered, "I have seen him do so before,
but not very often; I think it was obout a
month before New Year's when ha first
commenced these exhibitions in our house ;
Mr. McEwen is a tailor, and mother worked
with him ; they attended to the business.
while l did tho house jvork ; I have four
brothers and sister: mv oldest brother ia
cigbteeu years old, and the youngest three ;
iiucu e&iiiiuuoiiB were mane before ma and
myself, tho others not being present at the
time ; these things were done under excite
ment, and wcro never performed only at
mother's request or with her consent ; all we
did was to strip ourselves, nnd I do not re
member of ever hearing ao improper word,
or seeing an indecent act; McEwen occu
pied a single bed in tho ball bedroom and
ho generally slept alone, except when one
of the children slept with him ; sometimes
mother and myself passed the night with
bim ; I did not ever think there was any
harm in so doing, as nothing improper was
done; McEwen was not in the habit of
praying ; w hen we retired we slept toge
ther ; ma aud I reclined on either side of
McEwen ; nothing was said or done which
was in tbe least improper; I have never
heard of these th;ngs being doue anywhere
elae ; I have a good opiuion of McEwen,
and would not do the same with any other
man, for I know that none are so pure as
he ; I was a little timid at first, but had no
great fear of Mr, McEwen. McEwen slept
with us several times before New Year's
day; ma did no, request me or Mr. McEwen
to lie together: the bed was a sino-ln one:
I generally sleep with mollter, which I have
done most of the time since father died ;
I was with Mr. McEwen alone oue night.
when ma was sick, because she could not
rest well whet) crowded. Mr. McEwen re
tired first, and was asleep when I went to
bed ; 1 remember notbiue that was said : I
have never known him to take, or attempt
to lane, aoy personal liberties at all while
in our family ; I do not know why Mr. Mc
Ewen appeared as be did on New Year's
day, only that he did it at the request of mv
mother ; ma did these things several times
nersell ; 1 think lour times previously ; sho
wanted to crucify the llesh, and show to the
world that sho was pure. When she put
uer arms arounu .nr. aictiwcn uecK, she
represented herself as the mother of Christ,
but I did not believe it, and thought that
we were all ordiuary men and women ; 1 did
not feel any sii&ioa at the time; thought
mother was the first to undress ou this oc
casion. '

A contributor to tho Shoe and Leather
Reporter gives some valuable hints in rela
tion to the preservation ot leather. The ex
treine heart to which most men and woman
exposo biwls and shoes during winter da
pnves leatuer oi its vitality, renuering it
liable to break and crack. Patent leather
particularly is often destroyed in this man
ner. When leather becomes so warm as to
give off the smell of leather, it is singed.
Next to tha singing caused by ore heat, is
the beat sua tlauipucts caused by the cov
cring ot rubber. Close rubber shoes de
stroy the life of leather.
The practice ot uashloc harness iu warm
water and with soap is very damaging. If
a coat cf oil is put on immediately after
cess is ever so solid that a damp sponge will
not removo tho dirt; but, even when the
sponge is applied, it is always useful to add

When harness loses its lustre and tumi

after long exposure to tbo air, tbe harness

This will uot only "fasten the ooior," but

Shoe leather is generally abused. Persons
k cow nothing or euro less" about tho kind
of material used than they do about the
polish produced. Vitriol blacking is used
uutil every particle of tlie orl in tbe leather
is destroyed. To remedy this abuse the lear
ther should be washed once a month ivith
warm water, and when about hnlf drv a coat
of oil nnd lallow should be applied, and tho
boots set aside for a day or two. This will
renew the elasticity nnd life in the leather,
and when thus used upper leather w ill seU

Baud leather is not ircnerallv iironerlw
used. When oil is applied to beltini? drv. it
does not spread uniformly, and does not in
corporate itself with the "fibre as wheu part

oil a belt is to tnkp it from the pulleys "and
immerse it in a warm solution of tallow and
oil. After allow ing it to remain a few mo
ments the belt should be immersed in water
heated to one hundred degrees, and instant?
ly removed. This will (hive the oil and tal
low all in, and at tho same lime properly
temper tho leather.
A Woman Turiskd Man. The La Crosse
Democrat tells a wonderful yam, (or the truth
of which tho editor vouches with Munchau-sen-like
gravity. A Miss Ellen IJurnliam, ho
says, married one Powell, a Chicago news
paper man, iu 1803, lived with him twoyr-arn
and had one child. Suddenly the lady's
voice began to change, her penchv checks to
spout with whickers, until, at "the age of
twenty-one, the attractive young womau was
transformed into a good-looking young man,
A separation was the natural consequence,
and, after a time, the quondam girl vindU
caterl her new found sex by marrying one of
her former music pupils. As the Democrat
puts the case, the former girl is now a man,
the former wife is now a husband, the tor
mer mother is now a father, the formes
young lady tenchor of a young lady is now
that young lady's husband.
Meekscii adm. The material of which thn
truo Meerschaum pipes are made is a mineral
found in some parts of Turkey and Greece.
Chemically it is a silicate of magnesia and iu
composition allied to soap stone. It being
very nut, the lancilul name .Meerschaum,
foam of the sea, was givcu to it, which has
led to the not uncommon idea that it is in
some way prepared from sea froth. In its
rougn state it looks like a lump of very
white clay. It ia easily carved aud worked
into shape, after which it is put into boiling
wax, ami then polished. Imitations are mado
so much like tho true articlo that only at;
experienced eye can toll tho diflerence.
