V- A Farm-House Dirge. 1 1 "I thought yon would come this morniug ma'iim. Yes, Edith at last has gone, To-morrow's a week, aye, just as the sun right into her window shone When with the. night, the Vicar says, where endeth never the day Bnt she's left a darkness behind her here 1 wish she had taken away. She is no longer with us, but we teem to be always with her, yr* In the lonely bed where we laid her last, *nd can't get her to speak or stir. II. "Yes, I'm at work, 'tis time I was. I should have begun before $ut th}s is the room where she lay so still, ere they carried her paat the door. I thought I could never let her go where it seems so lonely of nights But now I am scrubbing and dusting down, and setting thu place to rights. All I have kept are the flowers there, the last that stood by her bed. I suppose I must throw them away. She looked much fairer when she was dead. III. "Thank you, for thinking of ber so much. Kind thought is the truest friend. I wish you had seen .how pleased she was with the peaches you used to send. 8he tired of them too ere the end, so she did with all we tried But she liked to look at them all the same, so we set them down by her side. Their bloom and the flush upon her cheek were alike, I used to say Both were too smooth, and soft, and round, and both have faded away. IV. "I never could tell you how kind, too, were the ladies up at the hall, Every noon, fair or wet, one of them used to call. Worry and work seems ours, but yours pleas ant and easy days, And when all goes smooth, the rich and poor have different lives and ways. Sorrow and death bring men more close, 'tis joy that puts us apart 'Tls a comfort to think, though we're severed so, we're all of us one at heart. V. "She never wished to be smart and rich, a* so many in these days do. Nor cared to go in on market-days to stare at the gay and new. She liked to remain at home and pluck the white violets down in the wood She said to her sisters before she died, "Tisso easy to be good She must have found it so, I think, and that was the reason why. God deemed it needles to leave her here, so took her up to the sky. VI. "The Vicar says that he knows she is there and surely she ought to be But though I re'peat the words, 'tis hard to believe what one does not see They did not want me to go to the grave but I could not have kept away, And what ever I do I can only see a coffin and church-yard city. Yes, I know it's wrong to keep lingering there, and wicked and weak to fret, And that's why I'm hard to work again for it helps one to forget VII. "The yonng ones don't seem to take to work as their mothers and fathers did. We never were asked if we liked or no, but had to obey when bid There's Bessie won't swill the dairy now, nor Richard call home the cows, And all of them cry, 'How tan you, mother" when I carry the wash to the sows. Edith would drudge, for always Death the hearth of the helpfulest robs. Hut she was so pretty I could not bear to set her on dirty jobs! vni. "I don't know how it'll be with them when sorrow and loss are theirs, For it isn't likely that they'll escape their pack of worrits and cares. They Bay it's an age of progress this, and a sight of thiugs improves. But sickness, and age, and bereavement seem to work In the same old grooves. Fine they may grow, and that, but Death as lief takes the moth as the grub When their dear ones die, I suspect they'll wish they'd a floor of their own to scrub. —Austin Dob»on, Contempoiaty Reman, The Mysterious "Hez." Philadelphia possesses a mastery in the shape ot an invisible beneficent fairy, who writes a cramped hand, works by means ot the posroffice instead of wands, magic lamps, etc and sends its gifts in cheap yellow envelopes to the needy poor, orphan-asylums and hospitals, with no sif/n of its identity insido beyond the sin glo word "He These gifts of "Hez" are magnificent in proportion, and bestowed with great wisdom and the keenest insight into the necessities of each case. "Hez is sup posed to oe some eccentric and charjta bib millionaii e, who means to put his money to good uses while he is alive, and not to leave it for trustees and executors to quarrel over when he is dead. If there is an eccentricity in giving money while the giver is alive, and not by legacy, rich men will do well to im tate it. Many posthumous bequests in this country have failed utterly to reach the class for whom they were intended. E in Forrest bequeathed his immense property to support a home for aged act ors, and bnt one old man has ever enjoyed the stately mansion and its luxuries There is scarcely a town or city in the country which has not its testimony to give of a charitable legacy which has failed to answer the purpose of its testa tor. Trustees and executors are open to temptation, and the care of a large, un protected trust is the strongest one which can be thrown in their way "Hez" is wise to distribute his tens of thousands himself, and to do it without the delay of a day. About ten years »g a man of vast wealth was showing to a friend his col lection of historical pamphlets, which was the finest in the country. "I am going to give them to the Penn sylvania historical society," he said, "and this branch of my library to the Frank lin library. I have no family, as you know, an a I intend to give away all that I have before I die, leaving myself only a comfortable annuity. 1 have no faith in posthumous charity."

Strength of Insects. Th following are striking illustrations of the superhuman strength with which the commonest insects are endowed. Th common flea, as every one knows, will, without much apparent effort, two hundred times its own length, and sever al grasshoppers and locuts are said to be able to perform leaps quite as wonderful. I the case of the insect they scarcely ex cite our notice bat if a man were roolly to take a standing leap of three hundred and eighty odd yards, which wonld be an equivalent exertion of muscular power, perhaps our admirers of athletic sports might be rather startled at such a per formance. Again, for a man to run ten miles with in the hour would be admitted to be a tolerably good display of pedestrianism but what are we to say to the little fly ob served by Mr. Delisle, "so minute as al most to be invibible," which ran nearly six inches In a second, and in the space was calculated to have made one thousand and eighty steps? This, according to cal culation, is as if a man whose steps meas ured only two feet, should run at a in credible rate of twenty miles in a minute Equally surprising are the instances of in sect strength given by Mr. Newport" Th great stag-beetle, which tears off thet bark from the roots and the branches of trees, has been known to gnaw a hole, an inch in diameter, through the side of an iron canister in •vhicu he was confined, and on which the marks of its jaws were distinctly visible, as proven by Mr. Steph ens, exhibited the canister at one of the meetings of the Entomological Society.

SPRING j\ASHIONS. The new, spring goods are unavoidably more vai ied in design than in texture With a few exceptions the foundations are identical with those „tbat have come to U9 for many springs in the past. Th twilled woolens come to us chiefly in unique plaided'aad striped designs. Th percales, ginghams, calicoes, etc., are principally in light grounds embellished with exouisite floral designs. Thus a very pale blue cambric has its surface sprinkled with lilies of the valley or very tiny white daisies. A pale pink cambric is broken with a delicate vine of very small pale leaves with red berries. Fabrics with dark grounds have light embellishment and vice versa. A deep snuff colored cambric is overrun with small, pale pLalc leaves. A deepjblue has stars in tmlc blue.- A very-pal* green has dark green leaves, and so on. Foliage predominates, especially in the more neutral tints. Fo instance, a pale drab foundation has a garniture of foliage aloo in drab but of a darker shade. Dark gray foundations have pale gray embellish ments. Verj pretty fabrics have the foun dation tint and thtt ot the design so inter woven that it is difficult to distinguish one from the other. The pin-striped goods will also And ronsiderablc-iavor. _. Tiieso are yery delicate in Calor^.behiK^rinoipaUy in the palest green, blue, pink. etc. I tho dark* tints they seemcorfH8ion. White muslins are very showy wittt their flor»X designs. A !t*autifuV white^organdie is sprinkled with great tascioua-blossoms in a pale goiden shade. Another has pale blue morning glories trailing over its snowy surface. I one^specime there are morning glories worked in silver. A pretty fabric has a plain stripe of satin alternating with one in muslin ot the same width. These come iu'lill colors— the color, however, only being varied in the satin stripe. They wilt make very stylish evening dresses for the summer Concerning the way in which these fabrics are being MADE INTO TOILETS there is little at piesent to be said. There are several new styles that must necessar ily last, but as to any great variety it will be a few weeks hence before they are actually upon us. Still, those that are here, as we'say, are reliable, and anv one is sate in patronizing them even at this early day Th prettiest cambric suit that we h'ave seen wa in the palest blue broken by tiny white specks It was made very, stylish, but in perfect harnionv with the laundry. Th skirt was cut demi train and trimmed around tbe bottom with three rows of double box-pliats. These pleats are all fastened so as not to interfere with the process of ironing. Whe ironed the plaits can be be separated and then original fluted ap pearance restored E.ich cow ot plaiting was about five inches in depth Th overdress consisted of a plain apron front and two side gores that were intended to lace almost together at the back. Down the space between these gores was a long square section of the cambric laid in broad folds Th monotony of these folds was broken by three scarfs of the cambrick which crosses them at regular intervals and was tied in a generous bow in tb inifldle. This made an exceeding ly dressy back and one that by untying the scarfs cap. esily be washed. Th edges .'of the apart "front and aide gjqies were finished With' the box* plaiting. Th waist was made it a and plaits extending half a yard bolow the waist. A pretty belt was made from the material and ornimented with a bow of the same. The sleeve was the long, tight-fitting coat with a deep cuff ornament with flat, medium sized pearl buttons, similar to those used on the waist. ANOTHER SUIT. This was made from a pale pink ca brie with an embellishment of small bios soms in deep red. Generous quantities of Valenciennes face were used in the make-up of this pretty dress. Th skirt was demi-train. Around the bottom were placed perpendicular sections of the material cut on the bias. These sections were about three inches in width, twelve inches in depth, and pointed at the top The edges were finished with a delicate white cord and a row of the Valenciennes lace. Th sections were the width of themselves .apart._ Th long apron front which seems oeftHaedrto come back in all its ancient glory was trimmed from lower edge to wai«t with a narrow, scant ruffles edged with cording and the lace The side gores lapped over on to tue front, and being edged with the cord and the lace, made a pretty and neat finish to tbe ruffles. Th other sides Of the gores were turned back on the gores in the form of revcrs. A long cascade made of spiral ruffles and lace filled in the space at the back of the overdress. The basque waiot was tight-fitting and deep. Th bottom was trimmed with sections, similar to those on the skirt, only narrower and shorter. A yoke was also formed from these sections, and .likewise tho sleeve cuff. Th effect of the entire suit was very charming. Th lace used was about' an inch in width. In the making up of lawns and muslin we are told that shirring will bo exten sively used, shirred yokes, plain yokes with rows of fine shirring just below them, and shirred apron fronts with four or five fine rows of gathers ddwn the mid dle and down each side of the front breadth.^ .tawjas ap m(!B$n»jw.i|l not be combined with aayv^ottaer material thisi season. Silks nor rrotfons will not be ad mitted as a garniture to dresses made from them to any great ^extent. This1' of course, is because the majority 6f these goods are now so showy in themselves. However, we must not allow things that cannot be utilised till some distant day detract our attention altogether from the apparel that we are now wearing, some of which is quite new* and very beautiful despite the ^opposition of the time. A WALKING SUIT. This is one of the prittiest and most sensible suits that we have seen for some time. Th material from which it is made is a rich dark brown rilk with a garniture of embroidered, loaves in all the tints from the darkest to the palest. Th skirt is, cut to clear the ground, and is finished around the bottom with a heavy milliner's fold which imparts the stiffuess required, to prevent the skirt from flap ping. A is finish is an artistic trimming made from the silk and the embroidery. Large half wheels are formed from fluted sections of the silk and the outer edges of these wheels are encircled with a'vine of the embroidery. They are placed close together with the rims standing up Th polonaise is also finished around the bottom with a simi lar'trimming, only narrower-i Th front of,the polonaise is turned back in tb form of revere and tb revert ate covered with the embroidery. Embroidery also trims tbe waist and sleeves, and covers tbe collar, cuffs and revers, and pockets of the English jacket. he accompany ing, hat something in the turban shape, is made of dark brown velvet, and trim med with brown tinted tips. ANOTHBH HAT Thi is made of rich bjack velvet and has a garniture of short black ostrich tips and handsome gold ornaments. I has a low crown and a narrow curled brim. A one side is the cluster of tips that sweep 6ver-tbe crown. Around the base of the crown is a cluster of velvet folds. These folds are clasped together at short inter vals with the gold ornaments. Jus visi ble under tne brim is a fine white Tuche. 1 HINTS VBOM ELSEWHER E Embroidery of all kinds will be the rage for some time to come, the hand work taking the lead, affording an excel lent opportunity for young ladies of in dustriotu habits to enrich simple materi al and render them beautiful. Caps will be the distinctive head-dress worn with tbe short costumes, especially bv young women They are of three kindst—the turban, the melon and tbe soft '•Pout," or Polish cap. A new thing In buttons, which follow close upon the hand-painted ties, bows and the like, are of wood or vegetable ivory, painted in sets, each one in a differ ent design. Th essentiaL point is this, that the objections shall not be incongru ous, but have some relation to or corre spondence with each other, and also be proportionate in size. The few buttons of this kind that have been seen have been painted either for or by private hands, but it is stated that at least one or two of those houses that deal in choice fancy wares will shortly have them for sale. N designs in jewelry consist of golden shells, plates or salvers in minia ture, upon which is a little in the rough, incrusted or imbedde in its nat ural rock. Another most exquisite novelty consists ot small skeletonized insects, grasshop pers, butterflies and the like, executed in the most exquisite col filigree, and placed as ornaments upon bonnets, head dresses and the like. Th execution of it is so fine as to be really marvelous. A toilet for the theatre consists of a fourreau dress of slate-gray faille and black satin and old-gold fail lie striped pekin. Th tablier and waistcoat are of the striped pekin. Th train, without any trimming, anil the midolc of the back are ot slate-gray faille the bodice, low and square, has reveva of striped pekin, as well as the sleeve, which is finished at the elbow with a fluting of crape lisse Tuere is a small white chemisette insido the bodice. Childrens costumes are principally mado of vigogne, cashmere, velveteen, or light cloth. Elegant diesses tor little girls are trimmed with velvet, of which are also made waistcoats almost as loug as the short frock, deep collars and facings hick Irish guipure, so durable and so effective, is much employed lor trimming juvenile costumes for both sexes. Childrcu do not wear light colors as a rule, and the white guipure is put on over ihivj-blue, bionze green dark garnet, or iron or beige grav fabrics. A short costume for a young girl is of plaid tartan with a dark blue gronnd. I front, the skirt is kilted Scotch fashion. Second skirt, forming a tablier with folds acro-s, turned up at the side so as to show a waistcoat simulated by cross strips of blue velvet. A the back, the second skirt, edged with blue velvet, is turned up to show the velvet lining. Th bodice, also edged with velvet, slit open at the ttom in the middle. Lon tight sleeves. Uar:»e buttons to match at the waist behind and upon the sleeves. Evenin and dinner dresses are made this year in two different styles or falile and brocaded silk of rich d-»rk tints, and quite high in the neck, with jacket open ing with ineroyable facing turned back to the shoulder, and showing a waistcoat ol the richer and more effective material A light ruffle of white lace completes this style of toilet, somewhat sober, but ox tremely elegant. Long facings of bro caded silk, similar to the waistcoat, mencing from the hips, a little to the back, come over the train, and are edged with tiny flutings Th sleeves are long and very narrow. Th other style of toilet is of light colored silk fabrics, such as failie, satin, moire, or brocaded silk, or two or three of these combined. The dress is made with paniers, and a low, ntcked,tquare or oval shaped bodice the Bleeves are short to the elbow, and finished with white lace trillings and loops of narrow double faced satin ribbon. Th tablier, which also forms the front part tue bodice, is covered with white lace, g.mze flutings, and narrow riobon. W iv at W re Appreciated '•I tell you what it is," said one of the the small coterie of wealthy men who had met in the office of one of their num ber, "they may say what they please about tbe nselessuess ot modern women, but my wife has done her share toward securing our success in life. Everybody knows that her family was aristocratic and very exclusive, and all that, and when I married her she had never done a day's work in her life but when W & Co., failed, and had to commence at the foot of the hill again, she discharged the servants and chose a neat little cot tage, and did her own housekeeping un til I was better oft again." "And my wife," said a second, "was an only daughter, petted and caressed to death, and everybody said, 'Well, if he will marry a doll like that, he'll make the greatest mistake of his life but when I came home the first year of our mar riage sick with tbe fever she nursed me back to health, and 1 never knew her to murmur because we could not afford any better style, or more luxuries." "Well, gentlemen," chimed in a third, "I married a smart, healthy, pretty girl, but she was a regular blue-stocking—'she adored Tennyson, doated on Byron, read Emerson, and named the first baby Ralph Waldo, and the second Maud but I tell you what it is," and the speakers' eyes grew susptcibus'y moist, "when we laid little Maud in her last bed at Auburn, my wife had no remembrance of neglect, or stinted motherly eare, and the little dresses that still lie in the locked draw er, were all made by her own hands." Nacarat red and reseda are favorite combinations of color for full stately evening dress. That'is, the under dress is ot nacarat plush, satin, velvet'or moire, and tbe over dress of resda brocaee, satin, or gros grain, or a'striped silk fabric.' Th costliest pendants are a with one large jewel—a solitaire diamond, a sapphire, opal, emerald, amethyst, topaz or cat's eye—for the center, embelished with gold traceries or small diamonds all around, and fine gold or jeweled fringes or tassels.

Pork Barrel.—To make a cheap pork barrel, buy a coal oil barrel knock one h.a in take a bunch of old hay, set fire to it, aad throw it in the birrel let it burn until the staves begin to burn put it out by turning the barrel upside down scrape the coals off, and you have a good, sweet barrel A English fanner, very successful during ten yeais in fattening cattle and sheep, supplied a ration made as follows: Eigh bushels of corn soaked in ten pails of watei two days, then simmer for an hour, afterward mix with fourteen pounds coarse, cheap sugar, and commingle with tu s'raw, hay. or other fodder.

Whe done the sauce may be strained in a bowl. Whe old, serve iu slices.—Ldhe It used to be the custom to soak lard in cold water for twenty-four hours be fore "trjing out." This was thought necessary to remove the blood and make it while and clean. More modern house wives, some of them, have learned that it is just as well to omit the soaking, as the la?d puuties itself during the boiling process Whe wet boots are taken off fill them quite full with dry oats. This grain has great fondness for damp, and will rapid ly absorb the least vestige of it from the wet leather. A it quickly and com pletely takes up the moisture, it swells and tills the boot with a tightly fitting last, keeping its form good and drying tbe leather without hardeuing it Panan Maible Statuettes.—Mi\ pow dered unslucked lime thickly with the strongest soap lye, and instautly with a painter's brush, lay it on the statuette, in two months' time wash it off perfectly clean.

When the potatoes are soft take them out. Get a large sponge and wash the cattle freely, choosing a warm day Comb them with a currycomb, and you will be astonished to see the effects of the potato water. How to Cook Fish.—Fish should not be ftutshoulo in fry until tbe tat is boiling hot. be dipped in Indian meal be fore it is put in, the skinny side upper most when first put iu to prevent its breaking. It relishes better to be fried after salt pork than in lard alone. Never put fresh fish to soak in water. If you want to keep it sweet, clean and wash it wipe dry with a clean t«wel, sprinkle salt inside and out, put in covered dish and keep on the cellar bottom until you want to cook it. I you live remote from the seaport, and cannot get fish hard and fresh, wet it with an (beaten) before you meal it, to prevent its bieaking. Milk in Winter.—The cows of many /farmers 4 go dry" in winter—that is cease to give milk. 'Farmers think the fault is with the cows, but the fault is really their own. Th trouble is the rows are not well fed and comfortably sheltered. They cannot give much milk without abundance of "food to make it. Their own natural wants require a certain amoun1- of food to keep up life and health and strength. I they to enough food to secure these ends, how can they give milk? I would be like asking a man to give you money when he had none. Good hay and straw and corn fodder answer well for the coarse food, and corn meal can't be beat for nutritious food. I is a little too con centrated, but one part of corn meal and two or three parts of wheat bran make excellent food for milch cows, and a pound or two ground oil cake mixed with this feed at each meal makes a splendid diet for milk. Fee this way give the cows warm sheds or stables and clean, warm beds, treat them kindly, aa you will have plenty of milk and butter.— Caiman's Rnral World.

Agricultural laborers are composed (too 'largely of a floating, unsettled class, and this must be changed before amendment in the dcgiee of skill can be expected. The must be composed of a class with settled and defi nite ends and aims, who are educated to the business as earnestly as mechanics. With such assistance agriculture will at tract capital, and afford it a safe invest ment. 'Skilled labor is the immediate de raund' of the future in agriculture.

Tins alwayb removes the rust, but it is rather a leugihy process A friend told me another method, that 1 have triedjit succcssially|this summcr,and it is less work and care. Dampe tho spot with cold rain or spring water, and spread a thic coating of oxalic acid over the spot use either a pen knife or a tea spoon handle to spread it on let it lie either in the sun or in a a place by the stove fifteen or twenty minutes then rinse in pure water and the stain will be gone. It will also remove the stains from tablecloths and napkins,or ink spots from clothing. It is always convenient, and an ounce kept in a tightly corked vial will do a great amount in the clean ing. It is an important item to have it carefully labeled and kept where children cannot possibly reach it. S ot turpentine will remove ink from tlnck fulled cloth and btoadcloth, without dam aging the goods Fo removing wheel grease or paint, either kerosene oil or spirits of turpentine rubbea on the spot and left a few minutes, then washed off with soapsuds,will take off the substance entirely. O goods that will wash, apply lye soap to the spots, after soaking a few minutes in the kerosene or turpentine, aud it will rub out without any trouole. For paint stains, clear boiling water, poured on the spot will, witn a slight rinising, remove them entirely. Fo grass stains warm sweet milk to soak in a few minutes, will take it all out rinse in pure water. Fo leather stains on hoisery, spirits of ammonia will be foun very effectual.'' is a on he Roa to a On tVe road to Busancy tne Chancellor said: "The whole day I had nothing but ration bread and bacon. N we got a few eggs—five or six. he men wanted to have them boiled I, however, like them raw. Accordingly I appropriated a couple, smashed them with my pommel, and re freshed myself. A daybreak I enjoyed the first warm food I had tasted for thirty six hours It was only pea-soup, offered me by Gen. Goben, but it seemed most delicious. Later there was a roast fowl, 'whose toughness was, however, too much for the best tooth.'" It bad been offered to the Minister by a sutler after tie had purchased an undressed one from a soldier. Bismarck, had taken the former, paid for it, and had given he man in ad dition the one purchased frcm the soldier. "If we meet again in the war," he said, "you can return me the fowl roasted. I not, I hope you restore it in Berlin." On the road we caught up to some fagged Bavarians, common soldiers, were dragging themselves slowly along under a scorching sun "Ho couitrym^n! called out the Chancellor to one of them. "Would you like a drink of Cognac?" Of course he would, and BO would another, to judge from his longing eyes, and a third, too, and, so they drank, and a few more, too, each, a draught out of the Min ister's traveling flask, and then out ot mine. A cigar apiece appropriately closed the proceedings.—Graf Bismarck una Seine leute. A in a a a From the TjOndoo Athenaeum Whe a French woman is a lady she is, notwithstanding' the materialism at the bottom of her nature, the most per fect thing of her1 kind that the world has yet produced. If she has not the fine unconciousness of an English lady, her self-consciousness is a necessary charm, a component element of her incompar able grace. I is the self-conscious witch ery of Titania, knows that in the end Oberon must yield. From her child hood she has educated herself—soul and body—toward the "fine issue" coquet ry and if her lips are not the lips of the English "rosebud garden of girls," the accents that come from them are brighter than the accents of silver bells there is no gesture of hers that is not perfect grace there is no movment in which she as she goes. proportions, the quantity must depend upon th space to lie cover ed. -Apply to the floor, first making 1 F*rnt N*t«a.

But worse than this, it is the index of a disordered liver.of a liver that needs arous ing and regulating The remedy is at hand, prompt, efficacious. A course of Hostetter's Stomach Biiters will expell the misdirected^ bile from the blood and divert it into the Syspeptic roper channel, open the bowels, remove the symptoms which invariably ac company biliousness and counteracts the rapidly developing tendency to dangerous congestion of the liver, which must always exist when the skin and whites of the eyes assume this yellow hue. The Vains through the right lower ribs, side and shoulder blade, the nausea, furred state of the tongue, and un pleasant breath which indicate liver com plaint, in short all its disagreeable con-, comitants are soonremedled by this sovereign corrective, which in addition to its regulating properties is a superb invlgorant, and a pure and agreeable medicinal stimulant, appetizer and nervine. There is no modern fashionable notion quite so absurd as the generally received ide.i that to be beautiful and nth active a woman must poseess a wan, spintue'te face and a figure of sylph-like proportions—a fragility In nine cases out of ten the result of disease By many fashionable belles it is considered a special compliment to be spoken or as frail and delicate.
