In The Winter Stent,
Cbas. J. O'Malley In Home and Farm.
Under the falling moon
Glitters the Eilent snow;
Toe winds with eerie croon
Around the hilltops blow;
While, stirred bj the breeze
That moans thro' the trees,
The shadows on the hillside go
Merrily dancing-to and fro,
As fleshless ghosts might dance where dead
leaTes chatter low.
Under the quiet stars
That twinkle in the skies,
"Snowcastj In opal bars
The pearly moonlight lies
Twined and intertwined,
Like garlands angel-strewn,
O'er field and wood and byre,
XVhile the frozen streams that wind
Flash like threads of fire,
Flaming far on beneath the winter moon,
The myriad icicles,
Downward-pointing cold,
Glitter along the eaves
Like burning spears of gold;
And there's enow on the roof and snow In the
wood,
And the dark owl whoops in the solitude,
Hidden away in his home of leaTes.
Under the death-white moon,
That fades in the deep, blue air
Like a queen that sinks o'er soon
And dies in her wan despair,
The breezes come and go
Over the silent snow;
The shadows nicker to and fro
As the Mnd rustles, like a ghoul, far on,
Waking the drowsy night to greet the infanf
dawn.
DISENCHANT TIENT.
Bosun Courier.
She stood ou the curbstone so charming,
All dressed in a neat suit of blue;
And she looked far above all earth's harming,
So gentle, angelic and true.
"But there came by a lumbering wagon,
With wheels splashing mud all about;
And it left her with not a dry rag on,
And wiped all her innocence out.
For 1 heard, no, I'll never reveal it,
A word that was. Haughty and tart;
And I buttoned tuy coat to conceal it
Jn the deptjs 0f my grief-stricken heart.
MRS. JAMES K. POLK.
The "First Lady of the Land" Thirty-five
Years ApD-A Visit, and Pleasant Reminis
cencescf the White House.
Correspondence of the Chicago Times.
Nashville, Term., Fb. 10.- The
morning was overhung and dreary, but
it was not storming when 1 dispatched
a messenger bearing a note to Mrs.
James K. Polk, making inquiry whether
a call from your correspondent would
bo agreeable, and if yes. at what hour?
Responsive, there came a timid personal
'card bearing the name "Mrs. James K.
Jlk Folk Place" on one side, and on
the reverse this message: ' 'Compli
ments of Mrs. Polk to Mr. Gotham, and
would be pleased to receive the call at
1 o'clock p. m. to-day." At that hour,
it was raining in torrents, and the visit
was deferred till 4 o'clock. At 4 p. m.
Gem Sam Cary, of Cincinnati, who was
intra to deliver two public addresses,
and I, left the Maxwell house, and pro
ceeded to the ancient but stately man
sion occupied by Mrs. ex-President
Polk.
The Polk residence is of brick, with
out architectural design, plain, unpre
tentious, square, aud bold at one end,
two full stories in height, and dropping
off into lower structures till the retiring
wing is but a low one-story. The main
building has a front of perhaps forty
cot, ornamented, while the side or car
riage front has similar columns, not
quite so stately in proportions. The
site of the "Polk mansion," as it is
called, is elevated and commanding
and the view from the columned porti
co would be pronounced grand if it
were in Philadelphia or Chicago. In
the murky mists of to-day, in this mid
winter, the sward of the spacious front
yard crisp and brown with the frosts,
the walks of shells grimy with soiled
and sooty ice, and the lout ensemble com
pleted with the gray and solemn tomb
of ex-President Polk rising skyward
from the front yard, half way
between the portico and the street
fencing, the old homestead wore a
sombre, antiquated look. In outward
sippoarance it is not modern, but it
breathe an air of solid, old-fashioned
comfort. The street upon which the
Polk place fronts is one of the most ar
istocratic residence thoroughfares in
the capital city. A heavy iron orna
mental fence, upon a foundation of solid
masonry, protects the front vard from
intrusion; several steps lead up to a
heavy gate, which swings creakinglv,
and a long, straight shell walk extends
to the front door, the somewhat pre
tentious sepulchre wherein the body of
President Polk was interred, being some
forty or Gfty feet to the right. This
monument attracted our attention, and
at the sacrifice of strict propriety we
deciphered the inscription upon" the
perpendicular stones. One of these
records the "carpet-bagging" of youn
Polk from North Carolina to Tennessee
in 1835, and recites his yniblic service,
including the many positions of gov
ernor, representative in congress, speak
er of the house. United States senator,
and president. But the date and place
sof his birth are not given a singular
omission. His death at Knoxville,
within three months after his retiring
from the white house, in 1849. is
chronicled.
Mr. Cary rang the door-bell and a
servant responded, showing us directly
into a neat little drawing-rooin. The
curtains were down and the apartment
quite dark. A blazing fire of bitumin
ous coal burned in the grate. We were
hardly seated before the octogenarian
hostess, Mrs. President Polk, entered,
and we were introduced. I was sur
prised to find Mrs. Polk a lady of active
movement, bright and animated face,
clear and firm voiee, and quick and re
sponsive memory. Your correspond
ent's name was upon her tongue, for it
had been impressed upon her recollec
tion by the note, but her hearing was
shown to be impaired when the name
of Gen. Cary was several times repeated
to her, and was caught by her as "Gen.
Terry;" and the famed fiatist and an
cient whig orator, who was a "Johnson
democrat," snowed under so eminent a
statesman as the truly good Deacon
Richard Smith, in congress a dozen or
more years ago. met with and parted
from Mrs. President Polk as "Gen.
Terry, of Ohio." And such is fame!
After the mutual greeting, Mrs. Polk
observed to her maid that the room was
dark, and instructed her to open the
curtains. This being done slowly, our
kind hostess moved toward a window
witnthe ajnlitv 0f onG on ,
sunny
side ot ntty, and threw it open, when
with a polite wave of the hand and tho
remark. "Be seated gentlemen," all
of us were at ease. Mrs. Polk is of
medium height, rather stout but not
obese, and has a bright and most pleas
ing face without the lines and furrows
usually accompanying great age, and
grey or dark blue eyes even yet spark
ling and full of sweet animation. In
her beaming countenance there still re
mains abundant traces of the pure and
radiant beauty lit up bv an earnest
vivacity, which made her" so attractive
and conspicuous thirty-five vears an as
mistress of the president's mansion,
now by courtesy, or ex-officio, "first
lady mthe land." Sne was richly at
tired in dark material, site anji velvet
predominating in the combination a la
modiste, and upon her hands she wore
black, neat-fittingParis "splendide" kid
f loves. Responsive to a suggestion by
er callers, of the natural desire of all
strangers who visit Nashville, and es
pecially those of a political turn of
mind or profession, to pay their respects
to one so conspicuous in our history as
herself, at the risk of intrusion, Mrs.
Polk laughingly deferred to the popular
courtesy. The attentions were pleasing
to her, she said, not as offered to herself,
but to the memory of her husband.
"I believe you and Mrs. Lincoln are
the only widows of our presidents sur
viving?" was interrogatively suggested.
"Yes, one other, jMts. Tyler, who
lives at Georgetown, 1 thin," quickly
responded Mrs. Polk. Her voice is full
and musical for one who must be near
in the eighties, and her sight seemed
good considering her age.
"You recur with pleasurable memorj
to your i esidence in the white house, do
you not, Mra. Polk?" inquired Gen.
Cary.
"Oh, yes, sir, it is a delightful memo
ry. Our residence there was full of en
joyment, and though Mr. Polk had
weighty cares of office and the responsi
bility was great, we had a comparative
ly happy life. I hardly recall anything
which marred the pleasure of our social
life there."
"Your husband escaped the censure
which has been heaped upon some of
those who have been president," was
suggested.
"Yes, it is true," she answered, "and
it is my happiest thought that no criti
cism of Mr. Polk's integrity during a
long public .career, in various exalted
positions, was ever made, to my knowl
edge. His judgment may have been
imputed, but not his honor."
"Did you enjoy your share of official
life, raadame?" I inquired.
"Greatly, Mr. Gotham. You seel
found Mr. Polk in public position when
we married, and he continued in oihcial
life almo-t, if not quite, uninterruptedly
until his death here, in .June 1848. We
were married young, and I was imme
diately introduced to the gay and inter
esting life which high public office be-
" I would imagine, Mrs. Polk," in
terrogatively suggested your corre
spondent, "that the inquiries of stran
fjers about Mr. Polk's life, habits, pecu
iarities, and characteristics, would not
only become monotonous, but often
amount to downright intrusions upon
the sacredness of your home in its
gravest memories.
"Not by any means to that extent
which you might conceive them to be,"
responded Mrs. Polk, amiably; and
continuing, she said: "I feel an ex
quisite pleasure in giving items of val
uable information, especially to young
men, concerning Mr. Polk's public ana
private life, for of course I deem it a
life eminently worthy of emulation.
Not long ago a number of youn men,
college students, I think, called upon
me. in the course of our most agree
able conversation, while I was relating
reminiscences of white house life, I
observed that some of these young gen
tlemen hesitated to make inquiries for
certain informatien of a somewhat per
sonal nature concerning Mr. Polk's life.
Anticipating their wishes, I told them
that nothing delighted me more than to
resurrect these long-ago facts, and thus
contribute to the happiness of others."
At this point of the conversation a
young and attractive lady entered, whom
Mrs. Polk introduced to us as Mrs. Fall,
her niece. She" engaged animatedly
in the social pleasantries, her suggest
ive brilliancy of conversation and ready
wit adding zeal and renewed interest to
them.
I suggested to Mrs. Polk whether a
visit to the national capital now, so long
after her reign there in social life, would
be peculiarly enjoyable. She thought
it might be, but it would be strange and
novel to her all except the white house
for she supposed about everything
else had changed in appearance. I ex
pressed the opinion that she would be
lionized, as the phrase is, because of her
historic character. Mrs. Fall coincid d
with me, and said that no doubt her
aunt would be most cordially greeted
and welcomed; and Mrs. F. remarked:
"More especially am I convinced of
this from my own experience in recent
visits to Washington, by the courtesies
shown me because of my relation to
President Polk."
Reminiscences being in order, Gen.
Cary related one of the campaign of
1844, between Polk and Clay. He said:
"I greatly admired your husband, mad
ame, but, being a whig, I worked and
voted for Henry Clay. I remember
that, about the time of" Mr. Polk's nom
ination, I was invited by Mr. Clav to
deliver some speeches in central Ken
tucky. On my way over there from
Cincinnati, horse back, accompanied by
a friend, while we were crossing a
stream, a Kentucky citizen horseman
overtook us and inquired who had been
nominated by the democrats for presi
dent. We told him 'James K. Polk, of
Tennessee.' Who in thunder is Jeems
H. Polk?' he concernedly asked, adding
that he was a nobody and had never
been heard of before. We mentioned
some of Mr. Polk's titles of distinction.
The Kentuckian was a vigorous demo
crat. Riding on together, two minutes
later wp met another Kentucky horse
man. Kentucky democrat number 1
vehemently and enthusiastically shouted
to Kentuckian number 2: 'Hooray for
Jeems H. Polk, of Tennessee ! the great
est man in America and most renowned
citizen! Couldn't ha' been a better
nomination! Hooray!' This change of
heart of Kentuckian number 1 srreatlv
amused us, and especially the introduc
tion of H' in the name."
And the story amused Mrs. Polk who
demurely observed: "Yes, it was almost
a surprise to the country when so young
and comparatively unknown a man as
Mr. Polk was nominated to compete
against one so famous as Mr. Clay; but
the surprise was still greater, especially
to Mr. Clay's party and to Mr. Clay
himself, when Mr. Polk was elected." "
"You have a wonderful variety of vis
itors, I presume, Mrs. Polk?" I sug
gested. "Yes; persons of all climes and ages
come. During the war. Gen. Grant
gave me a call, and we had a pleasant
visit. The legislature usually call on me
in a body. Not long ago, President and
Mrs. Hayes visited me, when passing
through Nashville."
Referring to Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Fall
said pleasantly: "Mrs. Hayes is a most
charming lady. She is one of the most
highly cultivated and attractive ladies I
ever met. We enjoyed her visit exceed
ing. "
Turning to Mrs. Cary, Mrs. Polk ob
served: "Judge Hoadly, of your city, ac
companied by the great lawyer, Charles
O' Conor, visited me recently. Mr.
O' Conor is, like myself, along in years,
and, you remember, his hair is snow
white. We had a good talk of Washing
ton life way back in the forties, when
Mr. Polk was president. He related his
exalted opinion of himself and his ex
quisite sensations of distinction and
pleasure when invited to a public dinner
at the white house. Mr. O' Conor was
then in Washington, I believe. He
asked me: 'Don't you remember the oc
casion?' I regretted that, in such a
multitude of dinners and social ameni
ties, I couldn't just recall the instance.
Then Mr. O'Conor reminded me: 'Why,
Mrs. Polk you and I were young and
jovial then, and I remember it as dis
tinctly as if it were but yesterdav; and
you were so gracious to us".' Mr. 6' Con
or's memory was tenacious and enthu
siastic, and'l was pleased; but recollec
tion of that particular event was effaced
by time."
After farther desultory social inter
course, we arose and bade these estima
ble ladies adieu. The parting recogni
tion was as free and cordial as was the
greeting, leaving upon us strangers a
toueh of that warmth of social life that
is so winning in the southland.
Reaching the street, Gen. Cary re
peated verbatim the campaign story of
1844, which he could not tefl in full to
the ladies. The Kentucky democrat
number one, when told that his party
had nominated Polk, asked: "Who the
h II is this here Polk, anyhow P 1 never
heard of him." Soon meeting his ac
quaintance, he was asked: "Who's
nominated?" "Governor Jeems K.
Polk, Bah." "Who's Polk?" asked
number two. "Polk. Why, you durned
old gumphead! Jeems K. Polk! the
greatest man in American'
Mrs. Polk lives apparently a quiet life,
in her Polk Place retreat, thus ending
her days congenially, respected and
honored. The state of Tennessee must
be given one credit mark. Though de
faulting upon the public interest in all
other cases, the interest on $40,000 of
Tennessee state bonds held by Mrs.
Polk has never been defaulted. I was
told that this was her chief source of .in
come. While enjoying this interesting
visit, 1 conceived that it would be a
greatful social courtesy for Mrs. Presi
dent Garfield to extend an invitation to
Mrs. Polk to visit the white house for a
week or two next fall. Such a visit
could not be otherwise than full of inter
est to Mrs. Polk, and prove a social
event of no ordinary significance.

Origin of the "Baker's Dozen."
Harper's Magazine for March.
Close by Market" street (now Broad
way) lived and prospered a baker, the
first man that ever baked New Year
cakes in fact, the inventor of them.
The name of our friend was Volckert
Jan Petersen Van Amsterdam, common
ly known as Baas. He was Dutch from
his large feet to his round bald head,
and had no respect for any one or anv
thing that was not Dutch. He was a
regular attendant at the old Dutch
church, but nevertheless, in constant
fear of being bewitched. His wife,
Maritje, was economical even to saving
the parings of her nails, and his ginger
bread babies were always made in imi
tation of his children. It was New Year
eve, 1655, and Baas was in his shop
dealing out cakes for small pieces of
money, called wampum. He had taken
an extra glass of rum in honor of St.
Nicholaus, when he heard a sharp rap,
and in walked as ugly an old woman as
ever he had 3et his eyes on.
"I want a dozen New Year cookies,"
she screamed.
"Veil, den, youneedn'sbeaksoloud,"
replied liaas. "Duyvel! 1 ain't tcaf,
den."
"I want a dozen," screamed the old
woman, "and here is only ' welve."
"Veil, den, und vhat do duyvel is
dwalf but a dozen?" said the baker.
"I tell you I want one more!" she
shrieked.
"Veil, den," said ho, "you may co to
de duyvel und get anodder; you von't
get it here."
From this time on our baker's wife
andhimself were made miserable. Their
money and cookies were taken away by
invisible nanus; their bread either rose
out of their sight or sank into the earth;
their famous brick oven was torn down,
and poor Baas pelted with his own
bricks; Martije became deaf; Baas was
black and blue from head to toe; and
such a life as he led was purgatory.
Thnce the old woman appeared, and
thrice was she sent to "de duyvel."
And at last, in his agony, Baas be
thought himself of St. Nicholaus, who
advised him, on hearing of his troubles,
when he counted a dozen to count thir
teen. "Py St, Johannes de Dooper, put St.
Nicholaus is a great plockhead!"
thought Baai; and while he was" thus
thinking, St. Nick had vanished, and in
his stead was the old woman. She re
peated her demand for "one more," and
Baas, remembering St Nicholaus, ac
ceeded to her demand, when she ex
claimed, "The spell is broken, and
henceforward a dozen is thirteen, and
thirteen is a dozen." And taking a
cooky with an effigy of the good saint
on it, she made Baas swear that ever
afterward twelve should be thirteen, as
a type of the thirteen mighty states that
shoald arise out of the ruins of the gov
ernment of Vaderlandt.
It is well known how terribly St.
Nicholaus revenged himself upon those
who set themselves up against the ven
erable customs of tjieir ancestors, and
refused tho homage to him to whose
good offices it was owing that this his
favorite city has surpassed all others in
beautiful damsels, valorous young men,
mince pies, oliekoeks, and "New Year
cookies.
How to Keep Warm.
N. T. Herald.
In very cold weather most people
have sense enough to build good fires
and wear their thickest clothing; few,
however, seem to know that physical
warmth is created in the body itself,
and all the fires or clothing can do is to
prevent the warmth being seized too
rapidly by the surrounding air. The
be3t preparation for a comfortablo day
in very cold weather is to eat a gener
ous breakfast, in which there shall be
plenty of meat. There is far more
warmth in an ounce of cold meat than
there is in a pint of hot coffee, although
the latter is to thousands of people the
principal feature of the morning meal.
A good appetite is necessary to a full
breakfast and it generally can be had
by a five minute walk out of doors or a
few minutes of light exercise n u fresh
aired room exercise such as the most
drlicate woman or child can indulge in
without injury. Physical cleanliness,
making free prespiration possible, is
absolutely necessary to comfort in cold
weather, and it can be attained in spite
of freezing cold bath rooms, by people
who care enough for it to take extra
trouble with a small quantity of water
in a small room. A glass of ardent
liquor is a wretched preventive of cold,
it will quicken the circulation for a few
moments and diminish it for an hour
after. The bulk in bread of a glass of
beer is more warming than the liquor,
and only costs a quarter as much; the
ame en mparison may be made between
spirits and meat. It is almost impossi
ble for a person who sits indoors all
day to remain warm, but a few minutes
out of doors, just long enough to have
the system affected enough by tho cold
to rouse its powers of resistance, will
insure a comfortable day thereafter if
the house is fairly tight It will be no
ticed that the lady who does her own
marketing; and the man who walks
from his nouse to his place of business
are the last to complain of the cold. If
the above suggestions are acted upon
and supplemented by an ample midday
meal, no matter how plain, the weath
er's terrors will soon be forgotten.
Our Drinks.
The increase cf paralysis is one of the
alarming features of the present age
and the conclusion is now being reached
that this is due mainly to the introduc
tion of poison in food and drink. A
chemical analysis of artificial mineral
watera by the French academy of sci
ence showed in all of them the presence
of poi-on to an alarming extent. These
are the waters that are mainly con
sumed in this country, including the for
awhile popular appollanaris water. Peo
ple had better be careful what they
drink.
Alexander the Great reigned over the
Maccedonians at the age of sixteen, and
Scipio was but twenty-ninei at the kpb

Floors For Poultry-Houses.
Poultry Journal.
Experience has convinced us that a
large number of poultrymen have mis
taken ideas about the kind of flooring
that should be used in poultry-houses.
The habit, as it was some years ago, of
having boarded floors, proved generally
ruinous to the fowls particularly those
confined during the warm season.
Boarded floors absorb muqh of the
moisture and volatile properties of the
droppings, and no amount of scrubbing
can make them fresh or free from vermin
and bad odors. Some poulterers con
sider wooden floors better adapted to
secure dryness, but this is a mistake,
unless there is a free circulation of air
between the ground and the boards. If
sunlight or air cannot penetrate between,
there is nothing to dispel or counteract
the unhealthy odors arising from the
humidity of the sod and boards.
The best and most natural flooring
for hen-houses, all things considered, is
clean, dry earth upon an earth floor; it
is better than any solid flooring of wood,
stone, brick or asphalt; pulverized loam
or road dust, mixed with air slacked
lime, and 'plentifully scattered over the
floor until raised a foot or more above
the outside. The droppings' by night or
day are deodorized by the loose earth,
and their fertilizing properties are, kept
fresh and valuable. The floor should be
scraped at least once a week with a close
rake and the earth sifted from the drop
pings. The manure should be stored in
barrels for future use, or scattered di
rectly upon the land.
Meat-Bread.
Cassell's Magazine.
This prepared food is the practical
outcome of the observed fact that the
leavening or fermentation of flour-bread
causes the digestion of meat. A beef
steak cut into small pieces and mixed
with flour yeast is found by M. Scheur-er-Kestner
to disappear entirely during
tho process of fermentation, owing to
the incorporation of its substance with
the br.ead. When he first began his ex
periments in this direction he used raw
meats, three parts of which, finely
minced, he mixed with five parts of
flour and five parts ot yeast. Sufficient
water was then added to make the
dough, which in due time began to fer
ment. After two or three hours the
meat had disappeared, and the bread
was then baked in the ordinary manner.
But when thus prepared the bread has
a disagreeable sour taste, and it is,
therefore, better to cook the meat for
an hour in the quantity of water neces
sary to afterwards moisten the flour.
The meat should be Carefully deprived
of fat, and only possess sufficient salt to
bring out the flavor, as salt by absorb
ing damp would tend to spoil the bread.
Salt lard may. however, with advantage,
take the place of part of the beef; and,
in order to insure complete digestion,
the quantity of beef should not be more
than one-half of the amount of flour used.
Bread made with a proportion of veal
is said to form an excellent soup for in
valids, and as it keeps for a long time,
it will very likely prove serviceable in
sea or land travel.
A Haunted School House.
Dubuaue Herald.
A weird and startling story comes from
Sheoill's Mound, Dubuque county, to
th effec that one of the schools in that
well known vicinity has been dismissed
on account of the building being haunt
ed. It appears that one of the scholars,
a girl about fourteen years old, is the
especial "butt" of the spiritthat haunts
the building. She frequently exclaims:
"There he isl" pointing to an invisible
object in the room, which she says is a
man. "He has hit me again!" she cries
out, "right here on the elbow and on
my ribs." The teacher, being thus
constantly annoyed, sent for a paster to
unravel the mystery, if possible. When
he arrived, the little girl, whose name
is withheld, said she saw a man running
about tho school house, jumping over
desks, seats and the heads of scholars,
and cutting up all sorts of antics, even
to pinching and striking her. The nrys
tery was increased when the word
"Teufel" suddenly appeared on the
black-board, apparently written by an
invisible hand. This somewhat slartled
all present, and the school teacher, it is
said, exclaimed: 'That's too much, we
must close the house." It is stated that
the spirit has followed the little girl to
he, home, and there annoys her and her
people.
Pinkster Festival in Albany Two Centuries A?o.
Harper's Magazine for March.
The Pinkster festivities commenced
on the Monday after "Whitsunday, and
now began the fun for tne negroes, for
Pinkster was the carnival of the Afri
can race. The venerable "King of the
Blacks" was "Charley of Pinkster Hill,"
so called because he was the principal
actor in the festivities. Charles origin
ally came from Africa, having in his in
fancy been brought from Angolo, in the
Guinea gulf; and when but a boy he
became the purchased slave of one of
the most ancient and respected mer
chant prices of the olden time, Volckert
P. Douw. of Wolvenhock. Charle's cos
tume as king was that of a British brig-
auier ampie Droauciotn scarlet coal
with wide flaps, almost reaching to his
heels, and gayly oramented everywhere
with broad tracings of bright gold-lace.
His small-clothes were of yellow buck
skin, fresh and now, with stockings
blue, and burnished silver buckles to his
well-blacked shoes. And when we add
the three-cornered cocked hat, trimmed
also with gold-lace, and which so grace
fully sat upon his noble globular pate, w e
complete this rude sketch of the Pink
ster king.
Both he and his followers were cover
ed with Pinkster blummies the wild
azalea, or swamp apple. The proces
sion started from "young massa's
house" (82 State street, where now
stands the largo seed store of Knicker
bocker and Price), and went up State
street to Bleecker hill, on the crown of
which was the Bleecker burying-ground.
In front of tho king always maiched
Dick Simpson and Pete Halenbeck, the
latter the Beau Brummel of his time.
The last parade was in 1822. The king
died two years later. During Pinkster-day
the negroes made merry
with games and feasting, all paying
homage to the king, who was held in
awe and reverence as an African prince.
In the evening there was a grand dance,
led by Charles and some sable beauty,
to the music of Pete Halenbeck' s fiddle.
Some Astonishing Memories.
Of Fuller we are told " that he could
write erbatim anotner man's sermon
after hearing it once, and that he could
do the same with as many as 500 wor Is
in an unknown language" after hearing
them twice. One day ne undertook to
walk from Temple Bar to the further t
end of Cheapside and to repeat on his
return every sign on either side of the
way in order of their occurrence, a
feat which he easily accomplished. And
what has lately been reported of the
Rev. Orlando Hyham, as an example of
his most distinctive faculty, "that his
memory was such that as he read Lid
dell and Scott's Greek Dictionary he
destroyed the successive pages, content
with having mastered their Contents," is
told of Bishop Bull at the end of a
masterly array of intellectual powers.
"And as his reading was great, so his
memory was equally retentive. He
never kept any book of references of
commonplaces, neither did he ever need
any;" the writer adding that, "togeth
er with this happy faculty he was blessed
with another that seldom accompanied
it in the same person, and that was an
acccurate and sound judgment." Mem
ory was in a past day more systematic
ally cultivated than with us. People
set themselves tasks. Thus Thomas
Cromwell; of the Reformation period,
a3 a traveling task, committed to mem
ory the whole of 'Erasmus' "Para
phrase on thaNew -Testament." Bish
op Sanderson could repeat all the
"Odes of Horace," allTully's "Offices,"
and much of Juvenal .and Persius
without book Bacon alludes to re
ceipts for its improvement; as well as'
what herbs, in the popular mind, tend
to strengthen imperfect memory, -as
onions, or beans, or such vaporous
food. Again, he writes: "We find in
the art of memory that images visible
work better than conceits" in impress
ing things on the mind. A fact which
finds modern illustration in the case of
the Fifth Avenue hotel waiter, who daily
receives,500 hats from chance persons
dining tbgetherln one room, and, with-"
out any system of arrangement, prompt
ly returns each hat to its owner, ex
plaining thathe forms a mental'picture
of the wearer's face inside his hat, and
that on looking into the ,hat its owner
is instantly brought before him. Again,
to recur to Bacon's specalationsr he
finds that "hasty speech confounds
memory." Again as writing makes
an exa-t man, so "if a man writes
little he had need of a great memory."
And; he. criticises the Exercises used in
the universities as making too great a
divorce between invention and memory
in the cultivation of both faculties.
How to Look Ahead.
There are two ways to look forward
of losing sight of the present in the
thought of the future; one is, to antici
pate dark days and days of evil, in times
of light and joy; the other is, to antici
pate the better things God has prepared
for us, while we are in sorrow and need.
The latter way is the better way; it is
the only right way. The other way is
as wrong as it is unwise and pernicious.
There was a beautiful illustration of
this better way in one of tho latest
utterances of good Dr. Plumer, on his
dying bed, at Baltimore. It was during
a season of much personal suffering that
he said, in cheerfulness: "One night
in Jesus' s boaom will be worth all this."
That is the way to look at our sorest
trials. That is Paul's way; it is David's
way; it is the way for every believer in
Jesus: ""IrecKon th'at'the suffenngs of
this present time are not worthy to be
compared with tho glory which shall be
revealed in us." "1 shall be satisl.ed,
when I awake, with thy likeness."

An Aid to Health.
Keeping the head perfectly clean is a
great aid to health. A distinguished
physician who has spent much time at a
quarantine said that a person whose
head was thoroughly washed every day
rarely took contagious diseases, but
where the hair was allowed to become
dirty and matted it was hardly possible
to escape infectiqn. Many persons find
speedy relief for nervous headache by
washing the head thoroughly in weak
soda water. We have known cases al
most wholly cured in ten minutes by
this simple remedy. A friend finds it
the greatest relief in cases of "rose
cold," the symptoms entirely leaving
the eyes and nose after one thorough
washing of the hair. The head' should
bo thoroughly dried afterwards, and
avoid draughts of air for a little while.
. "Nothing."
There is no answer so provoking as
the stereotyped phrase " nothing."
"What were you saying, my dear?"
" Oh, nothing." " What were you
laughing at?" "Nothing." "What
are you muttering, sir?" "Nothing."
And so it goes through a whole range
ot baffled inquiry. When Jeremiah
Mason, th celebrated New Hampshire
lawyer, who was Webster's master, lay
on his death bed he heard his daughter
speaking. He roused ud and inquired,
"Mary, what did you say?" "Nothing,
papa," she replied. The old spirit of
the examiner woke in him, and he said,
"Mary, what words did you use to say
nothing?" Here is an admirable for
mula for defeating the answer "noth
ing"' when used as a rejoinder to one
large class of questions.
Boiled Custard - -Put into a sauce

cinnamon broken up, and the thin rind

of six eggs, and mix gradually with the
milk; stir it over the lire until it thick

Cyrus, the .great king of Persia, was
a man of good temperance principles
and habits, as well as of noble traits of
charactt-r. We are told that when a
boy, being at the court of his grandfath
er, Astyages. ho engaged to perform the
office of cup-bearer to the table. He
was required in his official position,
among other duties, to taste the liquor
before presenting it to the king; but,
without performing the duty of tasting,
he delivered the cup to the king, who
observed the omission, which he im
puted to forgetfulness. "No," said
Cyrus, "I purposely avoided it, because
I feared it contained poison, for lately
at an entertainment, I observed that the
lords of your court after drinking it,
becamenoisy, quarrelsome and frantic."
Over 130 years passed after the dis
covery of this continent before perman
ent colonies were established, ci the
coast of New England. King James1
charter to the "Treasurer and company
of planters of the city of London for
the coast of Virginia," was granted in
the vear 1706.

Dear Sixsj I -wish to call ycrar attention to a. vronaerful cure performed by your
Wizard Oil, on a friend and neighbor of mine. He had not walked a step for five
years, from the effects of Rheumatism. Had tried a great many medicines, but nothing
seemed to do any good. Hearing of the great good Wizard Oil was doing, I recom
mended him to try it. He did so, and after the use of a few bottles, was entirely cured.
