For thus we lire to-morrow in to-day, Yea, sad to-morrow we may never see. We are too hasty ; are not reconciled To let kind nature do her work alone ; We plant our seed, and like a foolish child We dig It up to ace If it has grown. The good that I to be coveted now, We cannot wait for the appointed hour ; Before the fruit Is ripe, we shake the bough. And seliethe bud that folds away the flower When midnight darkness reigns we do not see That the sad night is mother of the morn ; We cannot think our own sharp agony May be the birth pang of a joy unburn. In the dust we see our Idols cast. And cry that death has triumphed, llleit void We do not trust the promise, that the last Of all our enemies shall be destroyed ! Wlthrest almost in sight the spirit faints And heart and flesh grow weary at the last ; Our feet would walk the city of the saints, Even before the silent gate Is passed, Teach us to wait until Thou shalt appear To know that all Thy ways and times are just 1 Thou seest that we do believe, and fear. Lord, make us also believe and trust ! K I'M HER ONE. BY MRS. B. P. DOLOIITY. "Take care of 'number one,' that is my motto, gentlemen," said Mr. Mark ham, and as he spoke hu buttoned his coat tightly about him, as If bethought that this act would be convincing proof, to his auditors, that he intend ed to act up to the sentiment he hail ju8t expressed. "But, surely, we are commanded to help one another," was the reply. "We should do as we would be done by." "Exactly! I agree to that last prop osition. If my barn should be burn ed down, I should not wish to have my neighbors asked to share the ex pense of having it rebuilt." "Certainly not, because you have comparatively ample means, and could easily have it rebuilt yourself. But you may be placed in a situation when help from another will be very necessary for you." "Possibly; but I have never yet found it so. I believe every one can yet take care f himself if he has the disposition to do so. I must begyou to excuse me gentlemen, it is time that I was on my way to the city." The disappointed visitors took leave, and Mr. Markham returned to the comfortable apartment where his wife and children were awaiting him. "It was early for callers," remark ed Mrs. Markham. "Who were they my dear ?" "Two gentlemen who are trying to get up a subscription to rebuild Mr. Dawson's barn, which was burned three or four months Bince, just before we moved here." "Mr. Lawson? Is he our next neighbor 7" "Yes: vou can see his house from the window that small, old-fashion ed farm house, i ne barn stood on the other aide of the road, and was really quite a good building. It was a great loss to him, though there was some insurance." "How much did you give, Henry "Nothing at all. It was a great piece of assurance to come to me. We have not lived in the town more than three months, and 1 hardly know Mr. Lawson by signt. nnat possi ble claim has he upon me for assis tance 7 Besides I always stick to my motto, 'take care ot number one.' " Mrs. Markham looked thoughtful and shook her head. "I do not like that motto, Henry," she said. "Neither do I, father," exclaimed a bright-eyed littlo girl who was an attentive listener to the conversation, for llobbie and I want you to bring us some candy from the citv, this eve ning, and if you only take care of "number one," I am afraid you will forget it. "Never fear, Miss Pert," was the laughing reply, "number one," in eludes a man's whole family. How do you like that?" "That is better, father ; so please don't forget the candy," returned the child, well satisfied with the explana tion: but tbe mother still looked thoughtful, and as her husband stoop ed lor his good-bye kiss, she whisp ered: "We are all members of one great lamily, Jlenry." "Yes perhaps so," was the half reluctant admission; "I have no time to think about it now. (food morninjr to you all." vv nai cnanges win take place in one short day! In the morning all may be calm and bright, and ere nightfall the wildest storm is some times raging. A dark shadow had fallen over Mr, Markham's household, during his ens tomary absence, on the day of our story. .Little Julia Miss Pert, as her father had called her in the morn ing had been taken suddenly ill.and her symptoms seemed so alarming that the mother was anxiously awaitin; the arrival of her husband, that she might consult with him in regard to Bending for a physician. "Certainly; I will go for Doctor Merrin at once," said Mr Markham, as he bent fondly over the littlo suf ferer, who was in a burning fever.and tossing restlessly upon her pillow. "Here is the candy she asked for," be added, in & lower tone, as he handed bis wife a &mall parcel, "but it will be better not to offer it to her now." "She would not take it," replied the mother, her eyes filling with tears. hhe scarcely noticed anything, and, indeed, I do not think she is fully conscious of what is passing around her. Well, dear, we will be hopeful," returned her husband, cheerfully. "It may be only a passing attack. I will go immediately." "And what does the doctor say is ailing Miss Julia, sir?" asked Bessie, the maid of all work, as Mr. Markham came into the kitchen, soon after the doctor had made his visit. Scarlet fever, of the very worst description," was the desponding re ply. "Mrs. Markham cannot leave her for an instant, Bessie, and we shall depend upon you to see that everything is attended to about the house; and please keep Robbie from the sick-room as much as possible. Poor little fellow I I fear we shall not be able to prevent his taking the disease." I set ESTABLISHED, 1837. "Indade, an' I am very sorry for ye, sir, but I must be after laving. My month was up yesterday." "But surely, Bessie !" exclaimed the indignant gentleman, "you would not be so rude and selfish as to leave us, now that we are in such trouble?" "It is not cruel and selfish that I am, sir. I am very sorry for ye all, but indade an' I am afraid o' the fe ver. I must leave this very evening." Expostulation, pursuasion and bri bery were alike useless. . Bessie's on ly reply to Mr. Markham's remon strances was that she "must take care of horself." "This is looking out for number one with a vengeance," muttered the dis comfitted mcster.ashe turned from the kitchen and went reluctantly to tell his-wife of this new misfortune. In another hour Bessie was gone. "We must make the best of it," re marked Mrs. Markham. "We can get along very well to-night, and to morrow I will send for Mrs. Bates, who sometimes washes for ns. She will help us for a day or two, until we can find some one to take Bessie's place. I should not like to have a stranger in tho house just now. Per haps Doctor Merrill knows of some suitable person." Morning brought no relief, either to the sick child or the anxious pa rents. The fearful disease was making rapid progress, and it was very evi dent the case was an extremely criti cal one. Weary with watching and anxiety, Mrs. Markham sent, at an early hour, for Mrs. Bates; but received for. an swer that she could not think of com ing where there was scarlet fever.and would not even be willing to have the clothes brought to the house, lest her own little girl should take the dis ease. "What can we do, doctor?" asked Mr. Markham, as ho told Doctor Mer- rill how they were situated. "Can I you tell us of any one who would be j willing to come and help ns for awhile?" "I fear it will be a difficult matter to get anv one," returned tho doctor, i "Scarlet fever has been so fatal of i late that it is as much dreaded as the j small-pox. You should not have told! Bessie the name of the disease. Mr. Markham." "I did not suppose that any one would be so selfish as to go offin that manner, when there was sickness in the house," replied Mr. Markham in dign tntly. "Oh, as for that, people always look out for number one," said the doct r, good naturcdly, and quite un conscious that he was treading on del icate ground. "I will make inquiries and see w hat I can do for you,", he added, as he took leave, promising to see his patient again in the course of the day. "I think he will find some one," said Mr. Markham, hopefully. "Every body cannot be afraid of scarlet fever; and for to-day I can remain at home without serious inconvenience, and will do my best to help vou. AVhat fchall I do first?" "You had better stay with Julia, I think," answered Mrs. Markham, a little doubtfully, for she had not much confidence in her husband's skill as a nurse, and still less in his capacity for being useful in the kitchen. The day wore slowly away. The child continued very ill, and, after do ing what was absolutely necessary for the comfort of tho family, the mother returned to the sick-room, and devoted herself to the little sufferer, while Mr. Markham took charge of Bob-bie, who was lonely and fretful without his usual playmate. 1 he doctor s second visit brought no relief. He shook his head gravely as he looked at his patient, and made no direct reply to the anxious inquir ies of the parents; and his efforts to procure help had been entirely unsuc cessful. Another weary night passed The little girl moaned piteously if her mother attempted to leave her, and after one or two efforts to take his wife's place, Mr. Markham went to the kitchen to prepare the breakfast. This was, for him, no easy task, for he was totally inexperienced in such matters. "I must do my best," he said to himself, "I can at least make a cup of tea or coffee, and Robbie can have bread and milk. But what puzzles me most is to know how we are to ! get along through the day. I must go to the city or my business will suf fer materially; and yet how can I leave my wife and children alone ? " His disturbed reflections were in terrupted by a knock at the door. "The milkman, I suppose," he ex claimed. "I wonder how much I am to take ? Perhaps he knows the us ual quantity." It was not, however, the milkman who stood befor him, as he opened the door, but a plcasant-looking.some-what elderly woman, who, with a kindly "Good morning," added: "This is Mr. Markham, I believe?" This gentleman bowed his assent. and she continued: "I am your neighbor, Mrs. Lawson, Mr. Markham. You must excuse my early call; but I have heard from Mrs. Bates, who has sometimes wash ed for you, that your little girl is very ill with scarlet lever, and knowing how difficult it is to get assistance at such times,, I came to ask if I could bo useful to you in any way 7" "We are, indeed, sadly in need of help," replied Mr. Markham, opening the sitting-room door, and cordially inviting the welcome visitor to enter ; "but I had no thought of troubling our neighbors. Our girl left as soon as she heard the word scarlet fever," and we have not been able to find any one to assist us. . I stayed from business yesterday, and helped my wife in the sick-room, so that she rot a littlo time to attend to household matters; but, this morning, poor little Julia is unwilling to have her mother leave her for a moment." "Poor child!" said Mrs. Lawson: "it is a dreadful disease I I had it in my family a year ago, and a very hard time we had; but, thank Qod. no one was taken from us. And now I have taken off my bonnet and shawl. and am quite ready to begin work, Mr. Markham. What shall I do first? Have you bad breakfast?" "Well, to say the truth." was the somewhat confused reply. "I was just attempting to prepare it; but I am certainly not experienced in such matters." "Of course not. I will relieve you from that duty. This is the kitchen, I suppose 7" and in another moment, Mrs. Lawson was actively preparing a substantial breakfast, which, with some help from Mr. Markham in tell ing her where things were kept, was soon ready for the table, while a little waiter stood neatly arranged for tak ing a tempting little meal to the weary mother, w ho was still watch ing by the sick bed. "Mrs. Markham will feel better for a cup of tea and a bit of toast. Will you take it to her, sir?" said the kindly neighbor, "and I will have all ready for you and the little man when you come down." As she spoke, she stooped to give little Bobbie, who had been atten tively watching her, a kiss, and care fully lifting him into his high chair, tied on his table apron, which she saw was hanging ready for the pur pose, and placed his breakfast before him. Mrs. Markham looked up, and made a sign of silence, as her husband en tered the room with the waiter. "She is really sleeping quietly," she whispered, as she came forward to meet him, "and there is moisture upon the skin. I do think the sym toms are more favorable. Why Hen ry!" she exclaimed, with a glance of surprise at the waiter, "what a good cook you are ! I had no idea that you could get breakfast so nice." "You are not indebted to me forit," replied her husband with a smile. "Vt e have help of the first fpialtty down stairs, I assure vou." "Is it possible ! AVhat a relief! Did Doctor Merril send her ? "No, indeed ! She came on her own accord. It is our neighbor, Mrs Lawson. She heard of our situation, and came to offer her services." "And vou asked her to get break- fast ? Why, Henry !" "It is all right, I assure you, little 'wife. She is just the kindest, the most motherly sort of woman you ever saw, and takes right hold the first thing she sees needs to be done. She said a cup of tea would do you good, and asked me to take it up to you, and then come to my own breakfast. She has it all ready." "(Jo then, by all means; I am sure you need it. But it does seem so strange to be indebted to a stranger in this way," replied Mrs. Markham, with a sigh, as she closed the door gently after her husband, and sat down to refresh herself from the little waiter. "And now, Mr. Markham, said his new friend, as the gentleman finished his morning meal, and expressed his earnest thanks, "if you will trust your family to my care for the day, and go to yonr business as usual, I will do my very best to attend to them faithfully." "But my dear madam, it seems to much to ask of you. We have no claim upon you for such kindness." "I do not see it iu that light. We all have claims upon each other for kindness and sympathy. I have a daughter at home who can attend to the family, so you need not hesitate to accept my offer. I am very glad to be of use to you." Mr. Markham thought of his boast ed motto; 'Take care of number one,' and stood rebuked in the presence of his friendly neighbor. An early visit from the doctor, and an assurance that the disease was tak ing a more favorable turn, diffused a cheerful sphere throughout the house Mr. Markham went to his business, and Mrs. Lawson, after putting the house in order and attending to little Robbie's wants, went, in ber mother ly way, to the sick-room, and kindly won her way to the hearts of both mother and daughter. When Mr. Markham returned in the evening, he was surprised to find his wife awaiting him at the supper table, and to hear from her that Julia was quite willing to have Mrs. Law son to stay with her part of the time. "She knows exactly what to do for the poor child far better than I do," added the mother; "and she is so very kind that I feel as if I had known her all my life." "It is a blessing to have her with us, I am sure," was the reply; "but it seems too much to ask of a neigh bor." "I know it does; and I said so to Mrs. Lawson, but she savs it is a real pleasure to her. She is going to watch with Julia to-night, and let us sleep, and she has told the doctor of a wo man, who lives two or three miles from here, who, she thinks, will be willing to come and stay with us un til the sickness is over. The doctor will see her to-night, and bring us word in the morning." "That is good news. I hope he will be successful. And now for sup per. I feel very tired, and shall be very glad to rest, if I feel sure that you are to be relieved. Tho last two nights have been very trving for both of us." Quiet and refreshing sleep, and en couraging accounts from the kind nurse the next morning, had restored the weary patients. Doctor Merril came early with the welcome tidings that a woman, well qualified for her work, would be there within an hour. "We are very grateful to you 7" said Mrs. Markham, as her kind neighbor bid her 'good-bye,' promis ing to "look in agair; by and by, after she had seen to her own family a lit tle." "And I am so glad that I have been of use to you," was the reply. "It is such a pleasure to help those who are in trouble." "I have given up my old motto.my dear," said Mr. Markham to his wife, as he returned from accompaning Mrs. Lawson to the door. "I am con vinced it will not answer to always 'look out for number one.' " "It will not, indeed. Henry," was the earnest reply. "We -are so de pendent upon each other." A few days of continued anxiety, and then all was again cheerfulness and sunshine with the Markham's. Little Julia was rapidly recovering and Robbie showed no symptoms of having taken the disease. Good help was in the kitchen, and the doctor's carriage was no longer standing at the door. Mrs. Lawson continued her friend ly visits, and being soon on familiar terms, told them one day, of the hand eralc some sum which had been contribu ted toward rebuilding their barn. "The friends who got up the sub scription thought they would be obliged to give it up," she remarked; "there were so few who felt able to help us; but there has been a large additiou to it lately, and we cannot find from whom it came. I am sure we are most heartily grateful to him.' Mrs. Lawson glanced at Mr. Mark, ham, as she said this, and perhaps she had her suspicions as to where the gift came from. Tho gentleman said nothing; but as she went on talkiog with his wife on other subjects, he thought over the events of the last two weeks, and came to the conclusion that the lesson he had learned from Mrs. Lawson was far more valuable than anything that money could bestow-; and in his heart he resolved that the better motto of. "Help one another," should in future, take the place of his old one, "Take care of number one." Origin oftbe Republican Party. Mr Seward was a politician a partisan politician of the central school with talents more versatile than profound ; was more of a con servant than a reformer, with no great original conceptions of right, nor systematic ideas of administra tion. So far as his party adopted a reforming policy he went w ith it, and he was with it, also in opposing actual reforms by the Democrats. The representation that he was a veteran reformer, or the leader of the anti-slavery movement, or of the Re publican party is a mistake. He was neither an Abolitionest nor a Frec soiler, nor did he unite with the Re publicans until the Whig party vir tually ceased to exist in most of the States, and w as himself one of the last to give up that party, of which he had been from its commencement and in all its phases an active mem ber. It was with reluctance he final ly yielded, when the feeble remnant of that organization disbanded. The Republican party, with which he then became associated, was not of mushroom growth. It was years maturing. Mr. Seward, whose friends claim for him its paternity, was a Whig at its inception. He neither rocked its cradle nor identified him self with its youth, but gave it cheer ing words, as he had other ephemeral organizations, in order to weaken the Democrats and help the Whig. Faithful to party, he adhered to the Wbigs under all circumstances. It was his marked public characteristic. Not until the Whig party was pros trate a skeleton without strength or vitality did he yield and embark his political fortunes in the great up rising. In the destruction of the po litical scaffolding which he and bis friends had constructed, perished the hopes and labors of years. To re linquish the machinery and organixa ton which by lobby management un der a skillful leader had become pow erful and controlling in the Empire State of the Union, was a sacrifice not willingly made, and when made it was not in the anti-slavery inter est, but wtih a covert design to per petuate the Albany dynasty under the name of Republicans. The Alba ny lobby was never an abolitionist lobby, or an anti-slavery lobby, nor was the organization or its candi date. Any attempt to represent him or those associated with him, as oc cupying a more advanced position on the anti-slavery question than those who were of the "Jefferson school," is rather eulogy than fact. In the presidential contest of 1848, when the domination of previously existing parties was broken, and a stand was made against the expansion of sla very and its extention into the terri tories from which it had been exclu ded, Mr. Seward declined to connect himself with the Free-soil or Anti slavery cause, but clung to the Whig party, which opposed the movement, and voted for a candidate who was a slave-owner.in preference to a states man and citizen of his own State who was not. Gideon Wells, in Galaxy for October. A Ilnatarana Plckpackcl. Officer Paul is detailed to duty in the Sanitary Squad, under Captain Yule, and is a very efficient officer, but last night a joke was perpetrated on him which he will not hear the last of for some sime. Last night in going to his dinner the officer, not wishing to get wet. jumped on a Bleecker street car, and before he had ridden far one of the passengers called out that he had lost his watch. Officer Paul immediately began to search for the missing watch, and the owner soon left the car. While the officer was still looking for the thief or the watch, one of the passengers called to him aud said: "Why there is the watch now," pointing to the tail of the officer's coat, and sure enough there was the watch hanging to one of the buttons on the back of his coat The thief, no doubt, fear ing that he might be arrested and the stolen property found in his posses sion, resolved to play the officer a trick. The name on the watch is "F. A. Allison, New York citv." N. Y. rosL Remarkable) Atntaapber. Tho Atmosphere of northeastern Spain, says a correspondent of the New York Evening rott, is trans parent beyond parallel. Across the desolate Sierras every crevice in the distant bills is distinctly visible, and the shadows of the clouds fall in clearest outlines upon the tawny des ert. Far off, miles off, you can dis tinguish goats dwindled into (locks of flies and soldiers dwarfed to pig mies, whose colored uniforms and burnished are perfectly distinct, and long trains of mules, with drivers in brigand like costume, reduced to the size of a child's toy.

The Postmaster General, in his forthcoming report, will renew his suggestions concerning the postal tel egraphs, and will present some addi tional statistics relative to the work ings, of the system in Europe. On this subject the Postmaster General has in no sense modified his views. He will strongly recommend the es tablishment of postoffice savings banks, in which recommendation the President now seems inclined to join. Mr. Cresswell maintains that the re cent panic has demonstrated the ne cessity of discovering some more ade quate and secure means for the pres ervation of the savings of the poor, and that it is the duty of the general government, if possible, to provide the means. The very extensive use of postal money-order3 for commercial purposes during this period of finan cial stress has demonstrated the great value of this system in times of finan cial trouble, although the postal or ders were not originally intended for general commercial use. Their pri mary purpose is to discourage the custom of sending currency in letters, and consequently to remove an in ducement to rob the mails. The Postoffice savings bank it is thought, would afford even greater security for saving than the postal money orders do for the transmission of money. The savings bank scheme would provide for the receipt of de posits, and the payment of a low rate of interest thereon, possible four per centum, and for a commission which should oe charged, under adequate legal restrictions, with the investment of these funds. It was originally in tended to propose that the funds might be invested in the bonds to be issued for purchase of the telegraph, in the event of the success of the lat ter measure, but the savings might be invested in the four per cent, bonds of the new loan, which would be readily convertible.

The daily or weekly newspaper that is published in your midst is the everyday history of the town you re side in of improvments, changes, deaths, marriages, etc., and it there fore should be not only the aim of every person who can do so to sub scribe and pay for his local journal, but he should also file his paper away regularly. The cost of having these bound ia yearly volumes is but a trifle compared with the useful ness and pleasures to be derived in having in your possession a book, or series of books, that will trace up step by step not only the local histo ry of your town and county, but also the history of that busy, bustling, active world of which we each form an intelligent part for the time being. A file of old newspapers forms an interesting chapter of reading mat ter, inasmuch as it recalls the names and faces of those with whom we were familiar in other days, but who now be resting beneath the clods of the valley, or far removed from the places that once knew them, and, per haps, may not know them again for ever. Step by step the improvements that have been made, the gradual ex tension of our town limits and busi ness facilities, can be traced, and a comparison instituted between the poking village of earlier days, and the bustling city that we take pride in to-day. A simple death notice recalls to memory one who was near and dear to us, but who was almost forgotten in the years that had flown. A mar riage chronicled with the usual wishes of happiness and prosperity-the bless ings which the printer always be stows with heartfelt pleasure will carry us back to the merrymaking and jokes attendant at the wedding, and maybe we will look around and see stalwart men and women to-day who are the fruits of the happy union, consumated years ago. It is an easy matter to lay aside in a careful manner, in some safe place, the journal that you are now reading, and continue so doing day by day, or week after week until the n timbers necessary to complete the year are made up. Then you can take them to the biudery and have them bound in a manner that will enable you to use them at any time for reference. The many advantages other than those we have enumerated will at once suggest themselves to our read ers, and therefore we say again, "File your newspapers." Johnttovcn Trib une.

To form an opportunity for the in terchange of thought and action among women interested in the ad vancement of their own sex, a call has been issued for a Congress of women to be held in the city of New York. At this congress their will be founded an association for the ad vancement of women, at the annual gathering of which shall be presented the best ideas and most advantageous methods of the foremost thinkers and writers. Representatives of all ac cordant associations of women, teach ers, artists, editors, lawyers, authors, trading capitalists, professors, preach ers, practicle philanthropists, will be present In this gathering they have already been assured of the atten dance and best efforts of a large num ber of the women who, by means of higher education, broader fields of in dustry, better laws, artistic and scien tific pursuits, business discipline and an enlightened motherhood, hope to remove the sources of misery and cure the evils that so many of our be nevolent women spend their lives in ameliorating. There are already one hundred and fifty signers to the call, many of them being women known throughout the country.

Young Manglebury will probably not visit Miss Skittles again. He called upon her a few evenings ago, and she was not at home, he sat down on the porch to wait for her. In a few moments old Skittles big dog came op, and growling at him in a manner which made chills run up and down his back, the dog walked up and began to snuff around Man glebury's legs. While the animal was performing this operation, the young man maintained a position of absolute repose. It is doubtful if he will again be as perfectly still an he was then until his immortal soul is in tho land ofeverlastingrest. When the ceremony was concluded, the dog lay down by Manglebury's chair. As soon as Manglebury telt certain the brute was asleep, he thought he would go home without seeing Miss Skettles; but when h attempted to rise from his chair the dog leaped up and growled so menacingly that Manglebury immediately sat down again. Then he thought perhaps it would be b-tter not to go home at once. It occurred to nm, nowever that it would be as well to call for some one to remove the dog in case of circumstances should render it de sirable for him to depart; but at the very first yell, Skittles' aog jumpeu to his feet, gave a fiendish bark, and began to take a few more cnticial smiles at Manglebury s legs. Ana a-rienpver Mansrleburv shuffled his feet, or uttered the slightest sound, that infamous dog was instantly up and at him. Once, when be had to sneeze, he thought from the boister ous indignation manifested by the dog, that his hour at last had come. Manglebury had often often before wanted to see Miss Skittles alone, but now he felt as if he would wel come any member of the Skittles family, even the cook, with a feeling approaching enthusiasm. Finally he heard voices in the parlor. It was Miss Skittles and a young man who had come home with her and entered the side door. And there they sat at the window, not thirty feet from Manglebury, sparking, and cooinir, and every now and then rr.aknig some disagreeable remarks about Manglebury, until at last the visitor left and Miss Skittles locked the door, closed the shutters and went to bed. And the dog never moved until morning when old Skit tles came down to look at the ther mometer and found that faithful guar daiu still watching over the misera ble Manglebury who still sat in the chair in which he began to wait for Miss Skittles. Old Skittles offered to shoot the dog, in order to soothe Manglebury, but that person was be yond the reach of such remedies. He was too mad. He cut the Skit tles family dead, and he is now en deavoring to select a social circle whose members do not keep dogs. He hates a doer now worse than a doctor hates a healthy climate. Keep Amtnania In tb Ilaane. No housekeeper should be without a bottle of spirits of ammonia, for, be sides its medicinal value, it is inval uable for household purposes. It is nearly as useful as soap and its cheap ness brings it within the reach of all. Put a teaspoonful of ammonia to a quart of warm soap suds, dip in a flannel cloth, and wipe off the dust and fly specs, grime and smoke, and see for yourself how much labor it will save. No scrubbing will be needful It will cleanse and brighten silver wonderfully ; to a pint of hot suds mix a teaspoonful of the spirits, dip in your silver spoons, forks, etc., rub with a brush, and then polish on chamois skin. For washing windows and mirrors it is very desirable ; put a few drops of ammonia upon a piece of newspa per and you will readily take off eve ry spot or finger mark on the glass. It will take out grease spots from ev ery fabric; put on the ammonia near ly clear, lay blotting paper on the place and press a hot flat iron on it for a few minutes. A few drops of ammonia will clean laces and whiten them as well ; also muslins. Then it is a most refreshing agent at the toilet table ; a few drops in a basin of water will make abetter bath than pure water, and if the skin is oily it will remove all glossiness and disa greeable odors. Added to a foot bath it entirely absorbs all noxious smells so often arising from the feet in warm weather, and nothing is bet ter for cleansing the hair from dand ruff and dust For cleaning hair and nail brushes it is equally as good. Put a teaspoonful of ammonia into one pint of warm watter, and shake the brushes through the water. When the brushes look white rinse them in cold water, and put them in the sunshine or in a warm place, to dry. The dirtiest brushes will come out of this bath white and clean. For medicinal purposes ammonia is almost unrivalled. For the headache it is a desirable stimulant, and fre quent inhalings of its pungent odors will often entirely remove catarrahal cold. There is no better remedy for heartburn or dyspepsia, and the aro matic spirits of amonia is especially prepared for these troubles. Ten drops of it in a wine-slass of water are often a great reliet The spirits of ammonia can be taken the same way ; but it is not as palatable. In addition to all these uses, the effects of ammonia on vegetation are beneficial. If you desire roses, gera niums, fuchias, Ac, to become more flourishing, you can try it upon them by adding five or six drops of it to every pint of warm water that you give them, but dont repeat the dose oftner than once in every five or six days, lest you stimulate them to high ly. Rain water is impregnated with ammonia, and thus it refreshes and vivihes vegetable life. So be sure and keep a large bottle of it in the house, and have a glass stopper for it, as it is very evanescent and also in jurious to corks eating them away in a short time. Fay Am Tan Ga. The papers are descanting on the ruin sure to follow getting in debt to carry on farming operations. One farmer who stopped giving and ask ing credit a few years ago, recorded it as his experience, that he can now buy more than be ever bought before, and sell more. The case is mention ed of the French, who never go in debt, and who, having been saving money since the days of the first Na poleon, have become the richest na tion in the world, which seems prov ed by the fact that the German in demnity of a thousand millions of dol lars which they were obliged to pay has all been discharged in two years, while wo have been struggling for eight years with twice as much. Per haps the wealth of the French farm ers arises as much from the small farm system and the high cultivation they give the soil There ia a vast differ ence between farming in a Ioom way and haying all work done in the best manner.
