MARIE ANTOINETTE. History of a Beautiful but Un­ fortunate Woman. Marie Antoinette Joaephe Jeanne De Lorraine was tbo youngest daughter of Francis Joseph and the renowned Maria Theresa of Austria. On the day of her birth, Nov. 2, 1755, occurred the terri­ ble earthquake which laid Lisbon in ashes, and caused the death of thousands of human beings. Minds prone to look upon such disasters as evil omens never failed to recall this as one of the many which attended the career of Marie An­ toinette. 7 As a child her bright looks, quick in­ telligence and benevolently-affectionate nature made her the special favorite of her royal parents. When, in 1764, Francis Joseph quitted hit? family to go to Innspruck, which proved to be liis last, journey, he ordered her to be brought to him just as his carriage was ready to start, saying : "Adieu, my dear little daughter. Fa­ ther wished once more to press yon to his heart." ' a This was the last time they saw each other. A few days after rtlio Emperor died at Inuspruck, and the royal child, then about 9 years of age, felt her lirat real sorrow. For two centuries and a half France and Austria had been enemies. It had ever been Maria Theresa's ambition to increase the prosperity of her country, and she prided herself on putting an end to this enmity by an alliance with France, which she had contracted some years previously. As her daughter Marie gave deckled promise of the marvelous beauty for which she was afterward so celebrated, her imperial mother endeavored to ce­ ment the French alliance more closely by proposing to Louis XV. a marriage betwjNAn t.hfl namthin. t.lie grandson suid heir of Louis, and her youngest child. Having this brilliant destiny in view for her lovely daughter, the Empress had her portrait painted by French artists, and caused her to be thoroughly in­ structed in the French language. Metastasio, the favorite court poet, taught the royal maiden Italian, and the musician Ghick gave her lessons It is said she did not excel in her studies; she was naturally too full of life and spirits to be gravely studious. She was, however, always active in be­ nevolence ; and, being accustomed from the noble example of her mother to feel an interest in the welfare of the poorest, she carried into the country of her adoption a disposition ev r leading her " to sympathize with sor^w, to succor misfortune and distress, ;ind to be indig­ nant at injustice and ingratitude." By the spring of 1770, all arrange­ ments for the marriage of the Dauphin with Marie Antoinette were completed ; those of France being on the most splendid scale, for the court of Louis XV. was as celebrated for its taste and magnificence as it was notorious for its •profligacy. On the 26th of April, the bride, not yet fifteen, quitted her Austrian home to become the wife of a youth she had never seen, and to abide in a country where sh$ knew not one person as an acquaintance. For the last time--though ®he then knew it not--she gazed on the familiar scenes of her childhood, leaving behind her forever her companions ana playmates to whom she had warmly en­ deared herself. The parting between mother and daughter was extremely affecting, and a mournful interest is attached to it when we remember that it was the lost time they were destined to meet. ••The whole population of Vienna thronged the streets to see her Jepart, mingling tears of genuine sorrow with their acclamations as they followed her carriage to the outermost gates of the city that they might gaze their last on the darling of many hearts." At Strasbourg, the first French city to receive her, Marie Antoinette ceased to be German and bccaue I'rencli. By the orders of Louis a magnificent pavil­ ion was built at this place. It \v«a su­ perbly decorated, and divided into two compartments. In the first the youth- I ful bride, after divesting herself of her ! German clothing and reattiring herself in costly vestments vi French lunimfuet- ure, bade farewell to her Austrian at­ tendants ; she then passed into the sec­ ond division and received the French officers of her new household as a French Pruc j8s. The celebrated German writer, Goethe, at the time pursuing his studies at Strasbourg, was present at the ceremony and he noticed what he considered a most inauspicious omen iu the tapestry decoration of the chief saloon. " It rep­ resented the history of Jason and Medea, and the young poet could not avoid re­ flecting that a record of the most miser­ able union related in ancient mythology was an ill omened ornament for nuptial festivities. On quitting the pavilion, Marie An­ toinette found in waiting the splendid carriages which had been expressly built for her at Paris. " They were marvels of the coaehmaker's art; one, covered in crimson velvet, having pict­ ures emblematical of the four seasons, embroidered in gold oil the principal panels ; on another the velvet was bl*e, with designs of the elements. On the roofs of each were nosegays of flowers curved in gold, enameled in appropriate Xbonths older than his bride, and whom •he then saw for the first time. On the 16th of May, the royal party having arrived at Versailles, the mar­ riage ceremony was performed in the chapel of the palace by "the Primate of France, the Archbishop of liheims. A canopy of A cloth of t-ilver was held over the youthful pair, and after ihe Dauphin had placed the ring on the bride's finger, he added, tvs a token that he endowed her with all his worldly wealth, a gift of thirteen pieces of gold." The wedding festivities were not free from several petty vexations, caused by tile jealousy of court parasites, whose insolence toward the foolish and extrav­ agant Louis XV. contributed so much to make him and his reign hatefnl and despicable in the eyes of the French people. The numerous balls and banquets given in honor of the royal marriage were closed on the 30th of May by A magnificent display of fireworks which unfortunately terminated in one of the most dreadful catastrophes. The squaro in which the display was exhibited was crowded with pedestrians and carriages; all was excite ment and admiration at the wonders displayed, when one of the ex­ plosions set fire to a portion of the plat­ forms on which the designs of the different figures were constructed. In an instant the delight of the multitude was turned into the wildest terror ; the uproar and the blaze made the horses unmanageable, and in a few ^momenta animals and human beings were mingled in horrible confusion. At least 600 per­ sons were supposed to have perished, and as many more to have been, griev­ ously injured. ents the horrors of the imprisonment in L FIBS KQTES. , ^ ? » the Temple, and who became known in | , history as the Duchess d'Angouleme. j AlIAireiR grows sorghum 1 <talfr» Marie Antoinette's second child was a twenty-five feet high. son, and a short time after his birth she i A FARM of 1500 in Barry County, proudly clasped him tp her buK>m with Mo f ls devoted to the breeding of mules. the most fervent thanksgiving, then re­ signing him to the nurse she said : "Take him--he belongs tpthe state ; but my daughter is still mure." Alas, poor mother i she was then in blissful ignorance of the htirrible fate in store for her and her royal house. For years the storm had been gathering which ultimately expended its over­ whelming force in. the horrors of the French Revolution. Singular to relate, the popular fury was chiefly directed to­ ward the hapless Queen. The old ani­ mosity between the French and the THERE are said to be more pure Bates (Shorthorn) females in the vicinity of Sterling, Ky., than there are in England and the rest of America combined.

Many are the instances related of her • j generous interest in the misfortunes of ! others, especially of the poor. She won her way to all hearts. Even Louis XV., : steeped as he was in his vices, praised her beauty and virtue in the hearing of his courtiers, exciting thereby the coarse jealeusv of his infamous mistress, the j Countess du Barri. | It seems little short of miraculous how so 301ms? and so lovely a girl man- aged to conduct herself with so much tact and dignity in such a vicious court. She was constantly surrounded by spies. \ Not even her writing desk was safe fror their prying eyes, and it was next to im­ possible for her and her husband to have any private conversation. Yet, in spite of all these irritating circumstances, she had the satisfaction of finding ner ' pure and cheerful influence over the , Dauphin rapidly increasing. There is ! abundant evidence to prove they both desired to promote the welfare of the French nation. ; Just before the death of Louis XV., \ -great distress existed in Paris, which the j Dauphin and Dauphiness sought to re- ! lieve by "a munificent donation from ! their private purse." Immediately after j they came to the French throne their ! very first edict was to anuounce that two ! taxes, called respectively " The gift of ; the happy accession" and " The girdle i of the Queen," would not be imposed. | Disliking extremely the excessive eti- ! quette of the Court of Versailles, it I was only natural that the gay-hearted ; young Queen should sometimes Jong to j escape from its trammels. Knowing this, her husband, now Louis XVI., gave her for htr own use the celebrated " Little Trianon," situated about a mile from the Palace of Versailles on one side of the park. In this delightful retreat the innocent, sunny-tempered Marie Antoinette was wont to amuse herself, at one time feeding poultry, at another making bread, and anon busying herseif in the garden. But even this charming spot was not sacred from the malice of her enemies, and some of her most inno­ cent actions furnished food for slander. As the years rolled on, and she gave no sign of becoming a mother, her hus­ band's next-eldest brother, the Count de Provence, made no secret of his in­ tentions in respect to the French crown. With all his kindness toward his beau­ tiful consort, Louis XVL was so phleg­ matic in temperament., and so singularly devoid of passion, that he cannot be considered to have pioved anything like a suitable guide and support to the brill­ iant, high-sp rit ed Marie Antoinette. For one in his exalted position, his edu­ cation had been shamefully neglected ; thus all the worst and weakest faults in his character remained uncorrected, and in every crisis where decision, courage ! and graceful tact were demanded, an awkward timidity and inability to decide for himself were but too paintully appa­ rent; and there can be no doubt that these serious defects largly contributed to bring about those terrible disasters which ended in the ruin and death of himself and his heroic wife. Nino years elapsed ere Marie Antoi­ nette had the joy of finding herself a mother, and during those years it is easy to believe that much of the levity and thoughtlessness laid to her charge was indulged in for the sake of subduing the painful feelings caused by her husband's coldness toward her, more especially as she saw that her continuing childless only served to make her husband's ene­ mies all the more powerful. Marie Antoine:te was tnen in the full flower of her womanhood, and her beauty was the admiration of all beholders. " In words which will live as long as I the Te triple, and the hideous mockery of j justice art he hands of the fanatical Ja­ cobins at'her so called trial, are a fear­ ful revelation of the depths of fiendish j barbarity to which human nature can sometimes fall. Her husband perished on tho scaffold ; her beloved son, " beau­ tiful as an angel," and for whose life and crown she was prepared to face death itself, was torn from her protecting arms and consigned to a horriwfe fate at the hands of the brutal cobbler, Simon, j Nearly all her most devoted fiiends-- simply because they were her friends-- ' were sacrificed, by the incensed rabble. | During the last four years of her life i what heroism she displayed. How great j was her faith in the justice of the French ! people. How nobly she strove, though in vain, to animate her husband on sev­ eral critical occasions with her own cour- | ageous spirit and gracious tart; think- : ing, and perhaps not altogether wrongly --that things would not have come to j such a fearful pass if Louis had but . bravely looked his difficulties in the face. • With what fortitude she set herself "to Normandy aud Languedoc. CABBAGE is the best and cheapest green food which can be fed to poultry in winter. It is not necessary to feed the best heads, but the loose, soft speci­ mens that are not exactly marketable. FREQUENT cultivation of corn, as made and reported by the Illinois Industrial University, gave an increased yield of upwards uf eight per cent, over those plots which only received ordinary culti­ vation during the same season. ACCOBDING to Dr. Von Liebenburg, all air-dry soils, at the same temperature, radiate heat equally. He insists strongly on the injurious effect of any agency that lowers the temperature of the ground in spring, as that will certainly influence the quantity aud quality of the crop. FINE butter can only be obtained by churning at a favorable temperature. If the temperature of the cream is too low, the butter will be long in ooming and will be hard in texture. If the temper­ ature is too high, the butter will come very speedily, but the product will be think for all, to act for all, to struggle for jjreasy; destitute of gram and deficient all; and to bear up against the con vie- in quantity. tion that her thoughts and actions and struggles were balked of their eflect by the very persons for whom she was ex­ erting herself." Bereft of every hope, separated from every sonl she loved, her once-brilliant and beautiful countenance faded and worn through suffering, her eyes dimmed and shrunken from endless weeping, her hair whitened, not by years, but by un­ speakable sorrow, the " Niobe of Mon­ archy " laid her head under the execu­ tioner's knife on the morning of the 19th of October 1793, and in a few seconds her deeply-afflicted soul was at rest ever- more. ____ P.

The magnificent farming of Belgium on poor soil is du^ to, first, the per- I'-.aon of both plow aud spado work ; :-.GCo:;d, each 11 kl has a peifaction of shape given to it to facilitate cultivation and drainage; third, mo^t careful hus- banding of the manure ; fourth, the -Teat variety of crops, especially of in­ dustrial plants, such as colza, flax, to­ bacco, h< ps, chicory, etc., fifth, second or "stolen" crops, such as turnips and carrots, English clover, sparry, ete., whereby the cultivated area is in effect increased one-third; sixth, abundance of food for cattle. Although tho soil i,=i not favorable to meadows, yet, taking the second crop into account, one halt , of the available superficies is devoted to the keeping of live stock. Seventh, house-feeding of cattle, by which the [ cows give both more milk and more manure. Eighth, minute weeding. The j Belgian laborer goes with his wheelbar- ! row to the village to buy a sack or two of guano, undertaking to pay for it after the harvest. The dealer trusts him, gives him credit, having a lien on the crop produced by the aid of his manure. : In November he gets his money ; the produce has lieen doubled and the land improved. The small farmer does just as the laborer does. Each opens an ac­ count with the manure-dealer, who is the best of all bankers. Flemish small farmers invest from $3,000,000 to $4,000,- 000 in guano every veir, and quite as ' much in other kinds of manure. M. De Laveley says: "The Flemish farmer scrupulously collects every atom of sew­ age from the towns ; he guards his man- are like a treasure, puts a roof over it to prevent the rain and sunshine from spoiling it; he gathers mud from rivers ! and canals, the excretions of animals along the highroads and the ways, for conversion into phosphates."--Corres­ pondence Chicago Tribune.

Indeed it has been even commented on as remarkable that, | whereas in old times b.akemen used to work their way up to places of high re- COKN and oata ground up together afford an excellent fei&d fqr horses, if the mixture be fed with hav Or wheat straw, the latter furnishing the requisite bulk. Ten pounds of this mixed grain with twenty pounds of cut straw will make three fair rations or one day's feed for an average horse having moderate exercise. IT IS reported that sometimes in India, if prices are too low to suit native grain dealers, they bury the wheat in holes dug in the ground, in which it keeps for some mouths, if carefully covered. Some­ times sufficient care is not taken in unearthing the grain, and dirt is mixed with it to a quantity of five per oent. and upwards. A NUMBER of researches on the ripen* ing of cheese have been made by Drs. Musso and Menozzi and Signor Bigna- mini. They find that the quantity of of true albumen suffers little change during the process, but the double com­ pounds of albumeu with calcictim phos­ phate are decomposed, yielding peptones and amides. Lactose undergoes both the mucous and alcoholic fermentation. THE farmer who would be succ.-ssful must keep a sharp eye upon such of his Inud its is down to grass. Xf it yields him a good crop of hay or furnishes him rich pasture for his animals, he may be quite sure he is on the road to success. On the other hand, if the meadow is light, and the pasture furnishes only a scanty picking, there is little hope that the year will be a profitable one. Look well to the grass land. AT THE estate in England known as " Elvedon," owned by*8n Indian prince, who is an enthusiastic sportsman, there are 140 acres of woods and m< adows, enclosed by a wire fence ten feet high, devoted to breeding pheasants ; 6,000 birds form the breeding stock, and at the height of the laying season 2,000 eggs are picked up in a day. These are sold all over the country, and Elvedon eggs are most sought for by other gen­ tlemen who rear pheasants. BEFORE the civil war the exports of pecan nuts from Indianolia, Texas, were reported at #100,000 ; now it is estimated that the amount annually gathered ex­ ceeds $2,000,000 in value. No care, however, has been taken of the trees ; in fact, in many localities, trees from fifty to one hundred years old have been cut down to secure the nuts. With proper care of trees and systematic gathering of the crop it is believed that $10,000,000 could be annually realized. Mexicans and negroes are the most numerous pecan gatherers. REV. S. B. HALL, in the report of hiB part of the geological survey of Ver­ mont, says that he surveyed the muok beds in the town where he resided, and, estimating their value at fifty cents per load, finds more than $50,000 worth of muck in the town. He further says that muck from many localities requires the addition of caustic lime or ashes, or to receive for a time the liquid manure from the stable. Thus prepared its value is greater than cow dung for crops either of corn, wheat, potatoes, or grass. THE horse chestnut is a native of Tur­ key, and received its name on account of beiug extensively use4 for horse feed there, the nuts being ground aud a course flour made, which is considered very nutritious. Before the nuts harden the cows are very fond of them, and for this purpose they have a marketable value in the State of New York. A large Mnount of wholesome cattle food now illowed to go to waste might thus be iaved from this neglected source. ANNUAL RINGS IN WOOD.--It is a re- 3eiv< d belief that the annual rings in the trunks of trees correspond to the an­ nual growth, though there are doubts as to whether it is always a correct guide. The English oak often has two growths ">f branches a year, and it may be possi sory : "She is a statue of beauty, i sponsibility, such thing now are rare. , , . , .- , % - „ brakemen are said to be : b\': ^ two/l"*fi ^produced annually standing or sitting ; grace itself when she moves."

PROF. THOMAS states that the remedy against the chinch-bug is to abandon as far as possible the growth of corn and to raise instead thereof other crops. Early varieties of oa's and other grain form a good alternative. Protection against the Hessian fly could be had by burning the stubble in the field immediately after harvesting. In wet spring, following dry seasons, the army worms need looking after, and when they appear in a meadow, the only remedy, in his opinion, was to plow the grass under. It was impossible to save the frrass and kill the worms at one time. Kerosene would destroy the cabbage worm, but the best way to do was to raise an early variety of cabbage, •which would head out before the worms got in their work. There is no possible topical application which would meet the case of tneordinarv orchard pests. They could only be starved out. Buckwheat is a first-class crop to raise, as insects find no food in it. Repeated changes in varieties of crops operate against the in­ sects and larvss. Farmers should pro- ! tect their insect friends, such as the lady-bug and the varions parasitical in­ sects which prey upon the cabbage but- teifly and o her pests of the farm. r.

This is very good the second day after it is made. CHOCOLATE CANDY.--Two cups of gran­ ulated sugar, half a cup of milk ; boil just five minutes; then take it from the stove and stir till it is stiff ; then drop on buttered plates, and leave till cold; while it is cooling, break a square of Baker's chocolate in small pieces in a bowl, and set it over a tea-kettle in which the water is boiling; after it is melted then take the drops and with a fork roll them in the melted chocolate ; then lay on the plates till cold. FRIED OTSTEK&--Choose the largest and finest oysters you can get; take them carefully from the liquor and dry between two clean cloths. Prepare some beaten eggs, also some cracker rolled fine; and have ready hot butter in a frying-pan. Dip each oyster first into the egg, and then into the cracker, rolling it over until perfectly encrusted, then fry quickly to a light brown. Serve the momont they are dope on a hot dish garnished with curled parsley. CORN FLOUR CAKES.--Beat six ounces of butter to a cream and ad 1 to it eighte ounces of pounded sugar and a few drops of lemon juice or ratafia, which ever preferred ; mix thoroughly a des­ sertspoonful of baking powder with a pound of corn flour ; have ready some warm milk, and stir it with the corn | flour into the sugar and butter, adding j by degrees a little of each till the whole i of the flour is in aud the mixture is a i light, dough : bake at once. When a \ skewer, which has been inserted, comes j out clean and bright, it is done. j MASHED POTATOES.--Boil the potatoes | gently, after having made them as nearly uniform in size as possible, by dividing the larger ones, it is better to 8'ice ali, but not very thinly. As soon as the j fork goes through readily, turn the wateT off (saving that for mixing your bread if you bake the same day,) then mash through a colander into the same kettle or saucepan. Add butter aud eream and salt, and with a long-han­ dled spoon beat a few minutes briskly. Set the same saucepan where it will thoroughly heat again, and your pota­ toes will be a noticeable feature of the best of dinners. To REMOVE MILDEW.--Take one ounce of chloride of lime and dissolve in a stone vessel. Turn off the clear water, but none of the sediment. Rinse the article mildewed in clear water, and lay into this solution ; stir often until the spots disappear; then rinse thoroughly to remove every trace of the lime, which will rot the goods. Or, take one ounce of oxalic acid; dissolve, and lay the article into the solution for three min­ utes ; then wring out and lay in the sun­ shine. If the s}¥ots do not readily dis­ appear, repeat the process, and after­ ward rinse very thoroughly. AIRY BEDROOMS.--Lady Barker rec­ ommends airy bedrooms for children. She says: "The fondest and fussiest parents do not always understand that on the most careful attention and simple rules depend the straightness of chil­ dren's spines, the strength of their limbs, their freedom from coughs and colds, and, in fact, their genercd health. But few consider that half of a young child's life should be spent in its bed. So that unless the atmosphere of the room they sleep in, the quality of the bed they lie on, and the texture of the clothes which cover them are taken into consideration, it is only half their existence which is being cared for." VEAL AND HAM PIE.--Take the thick part of a breast of veal, removing all the bones, which put on for gravy, stewing them long and slowly ; put a layer oi veal, pepper and salt, then a thin sprink­ ling of nam ; if boiled, out in slices; if raw, cut a slice jn dice, which scald be­ fore using; then more veal, and again ham. If forced-meat balls are liked, make some'5 force-meat as for Windsor pie, nsing, if you prefer it, chopped hard- boiled eggs in place of chopped meat, and binding it into a paste with raw eggs; then make into balls, which drop into the crevices of the pie ; boil two oi three eggs quite hard, cut each into four, and lay them round the sides and over the top; put in about a gill of gravy, and cover the same as Wiudsor pie. In either of these pies tho force-meat may be left out and sweet-bread, cut up, or mshroons put iu. WHITE SOTTP.--Veal or ehicken must be used for this soup, and the stock must always be prepared the day beforehand, having been flavored with two chopped onions and a cup of cut celery, or celery- seed, and other seasoning in proportions to suit the taste. On the day it is to be nsed heat a quart of milk; stir one table- spoonful of cutter to a cream; add a heaping tablespoonful of flour or corn starch, a saltspoonful of mace, and the same amount of white pepper ; stir into the boiling milk and add to the soup ; let all boil a moment and then pour into the tureen. Three eggs beaten very light and stirred into hot milk without boiling make a still richer soup. The bones of cold roast chicken or turkey maybe used in this way, and the broth of any meat, if perfectly clear, can serve as founda­ tion, though veal or chicken is most delicate. To RRMOVE GREASE SPOTS FROM PA­ PER.--tScrape finely some pipe clay on the sheet of paper which is to be cleaned. Let it completely cover it, then lay a thin piece of paper over it, and pass a heated iron on it for a few seconds. Then take a perfectly clean piece of India-rubber and rub off the pipe clay. In most cases one application will be found sufficient. 1>ut if it is not you may • repeat it. Another way is to get the paper so stained little warmed, by cov­ ering it with fl E^iee^ °f blotting paper and passing an iron over it several times, so that it may remove much of the grease as put^ible. When the paper is thoroughly fciirmed, dip a small brush in the esseiiti^ °il of well rectified , spixits of tui heated almost to i boiling point, it gently ov^r ^ both sides of ('ie paper, which must be ; kept moderately warm. Let this process be repeated as many times as the quan­ tity of greatu iu the paper or the thick­ ness of the p:il«r may rtnder necessary. When the greasy substance has been removed, to restore the paper to its former whitei ' ss flip another brush in highly^-rectified spirits T>f wine, and draw it over the pl'^f, and particularly around the edges, to remove the border that would still present a stain. - the family DOCTOB. FOB toothache, where a cavity exists, there are m»iuy remedies in common use, but, says an exchange, none seem to re­ lieve as equ:il parts of hydrate of chloral and gum csmphor rubbed together. Saturate a piece of cotton with the mixt­ ure and put it into the cavity of the tooth ooveiwK if with dry cotton. Care must be taken not to allow the remedy to come in contact with the inside of the moHth, as it may produce severe burn­ ing- ^ AN exch nng^says : " Let any one who has an attack ofHkockjaw take a spaall quantity of turpentine, warm it and pour it on the 'wound, no matter where the wouud is, ond relief will follow in less ' than a minute. Nothing better can be applied to a severe cut or bruise than cold turpentine ; it will give certain re­ lief almost instantly. Turpentine is also a sovereign remedy for croup. Saturate a piece of flunnel With it and place the flannel on the throat and chest, and in everv cafe three or four drops on a lump of sugar may be taken inwardly." DB. EBRARD, of Nimes, states that he has for many years treated all his cases of sciatic and neuralgic pains with an improvised apparatus, consisting merely of a flat-iron and vinegar, two things that will be found in every house. The iron is heated until sufficiently hot to vaporize the vinegar, and is then cov­ ered with some woolen fabric, which is moistened with vinegar, and the appar­ atus is applied at once to the painful spot. The application may be repeated two or tliree times a day. Dr. Ebrard states that, as a rule, the pain disappears in twenty-four hours, and recovery en- saes at once. SALT IN DIPHTHERIA. -- In a paper jread at the Medical Society of Victoria, Australia, Dr. Day stated that, having for many years regarded diphtheria, in its early stage, as a purely local affec­ tion, characterized by a marked tenden­ cy to take on putrefactive deeompusi* tion, he has trusted most to tho free and constant application of antiseptics, aud, when their employment has been adopt­ ed from tfye first, and been combined with judicious alimentation, he has sel­ dom seen blood-poisoning ensue. In consequence of the great power which salt possesses in preventing the pretre- faciive decomposition of moat and ether organic matter, Dr. Day has o:ten pre­ scribed for diphtheritic patients living far away from medical aid the frequent use of a gargle composed of a tea spoon­ ful or more of salt dissolved in a tumbler of water, giving children who cannot gargle a teaspoonful or two to drink occasionally. Adults to use the gargle as a prophylactic or preventive, three or lour times a day. How VOLTAIRE CURED THE DECAY OF HIS STOMACH.--In the "Memoirs of Count Segur" there is the following anecdote : " My mother, the Countess de Segur, being asked by Voltaire re­ specting her health, told him that the most painful feeling she had arose from the decay in her stomach and the diffi­ culty of finding any kind of aliment that it could bear. Voltaire, by way of con­ solation, assured her that he was once for nearly a year in the same state, and believed to be incurable, but that, nevertheless, a very simple remedy had rostored him. It consisted in taking no other nourishment than yelks of eggs beaten up with the flour of potatoes and water." Though this circumstance concerned so extraordinary a person as Voltaire, it is astonishing how little it is known and how rarely the remedy hus been practiced. Its efficacy, however, in eases of debility, cannot be ques­ tioned, and the following is the mode of preparing this valuable article of food as recommended by Sir John Sinclair : Beat up an egg in a bowl, and then add six table-spoonfuls of cold water, mixing the whole well together ; then add two table spoonfuls of farina of potatoes ; let it be mixed thoroughly with the liquid in the bowl; then pour in as much boiling water as will convert the whole thing into a jelly, and mix it well. It may be taken alone or with the addi­ tion of a little milk in case of stomachio debility or consumptive disorders.--Sci­ entific American. This »n«rnTin« npraMOta tha hue* to a hwUthy cUto.)

What a queer way pens have of put­ ting down just the right wordB together, souiotimes! That second word above there might have been " dreams," or " faacies," or " delusions," or a hundred other pretty sounding syllables, only that this square-nibbed little wiaoon has such an aggravating way of telling equally square truth, one would think it endowed with an intelligence of its own. What is there about them, these rosy- hil"d fables, that the wisest of us likes to listen to, half believe them, perhaps, wbolly distrust at last ? Exquisite, fragile things ! Their rough, practical brethren of everyday life seem horrible be-ide their airy proportions, so they s&k the seclusion of the boudoir, the silence of the midnight walk. Like babbles, full of li^ht and color, they flint about us, until the rude hand of Tjmth grasps them, and they vanish, Bving nothing that is. tangible behind. Olaude Melnotte wsis not so young in the a^t of love as the play book would have i$fc think when he says to Pauline, We'd have no friends that were not levers." Philosophers draw a fair dis­ tinction between lies and their twin brothers, falsehoods--the former being stooken with the intention to deceive, tea others under the belief, by the speaker, of their truth. We are apt, #metimes, to draw too heavily on the b&nk of human affections, exact more tftan oomes to us spontaneously, and are Dot at all times careful to see that the change we get in return is pure metal, aid rings firm and true. Let lovers ttemselves answer how often their own utterances come under the first head. " PBAT excuse me," said a well- dressed young man to a young lady in the second tier of boxes at the theater; " I wish to go out and get some refresh­ ments--don't leave your seat." A sailor aeated iu the box near with his sweetheart, and disposed to do the same thing, arose and said: " Harkea, Poll, I'm going ashore to wet my whistle--don't fall overboard while I'm gone," rnndl good markets both Raut and H eit.
