the exchange editor felt the spirit
of divine art flood his soul, as hs
yielded to the bewildered mnsic.

“The first verse runs like this,’’
she went on, taking*courage from
hie eyes :
“How softly sweet the Autumn air.
The dying woodland fills,
And Nature turns from restftil care—

the exchange editor, with a jerk.

o* Uses of Ammonia.
Put a tablespoonful of ammonia
iu a quart of Warm soap-suds, dip
a cloth in it and go over your
soiled paint with it; it will cleanse
and also, brighten it wonderfully.
To a pint of not sndB add a tea-
spoonful of ammonia, dip in your
forks and Upoons, rub with a soft
brush and dry with a chamois
skin. For washing windows and
mirrors it Is excellent. It will
remove’ grease from every fabric,
and not injure the garment. Put
on the ammonia nearly clear, lay a
blotting paper on it and press for
a moment with a hot iron. A few
drops in water will cleanse and
whiten muslin beautifully. A few
drops in a bowl of water, if the
skin be oilly, removes all greasi-
ness and disagreeable odors. Ad-
ded to a foot bath It removes all
obnoxious smells; and nothing is
better to remove dandruff from
tho hair. For cleansing hair and
nail brashes it is equally good.
Ten drops in a wine-glass of water
ia an excellent remedy for heart-
burn and dyspepsia. For house
plante it is very beneficial, add
five or six drops to every pint of
water and apply to them once a
week. It ia also good to remove
dirt from, jewelry.^ Always keep
a bottle in t^e house, and have a
glanH stopperj it eats cork.

Evils of Gossip.—Can the evil
wrought by gossip be estimated f
We think not. A. wise woman
can scaroely say too little in com-
pany'if the eohversation tranches
in the Ifeast on scandal. -Many a
social, noble-minded woman hits
been obliged to, withdraw herself
from a neighborhood intimacy
which would hate' been pleasant
otherwise because her remarks
are returned by some idle tale
invested in Southdown
French Merino. His neighbors
tried by turns raising cattle,
horses, or gave their attention to
experimental farming.
Johnson having once to
to it. He had that shrewdness l
seeing the best way, and that
dogged persistence in fallowing
it, which are the surest elements
of success.
Stock-buyers from the Kasterh
markets found that Johnson’s
fleeces were the finest and his
mutton the sweetest on the Cheat.
He never allowed their reputation
to fail—the end of which course
is, the man who' married bare-
footed is now worth a large pro-
perty.
The story is absolutely true a
one, and may point a moral for the
hordes of stout, able-bodied men
who crowd the cities comploini
that they must starve for want
work.

How a Toad got in Trouble.
A writer iu the Portland Trans-
cript gives the following laugh-
able description of the trouble a
toad got himself into by not tak-
ing care what he ate. He swal-
lowed a wasp, thinking, no doubt,
that it was a large but defensA
less fly :
The realization of his mistake
came when the wasp began prick-
ing his internal organs, as a guilty
Conscience pricks a sinner.
The toad stood on his Ling legs
and reached frantically down his
throat after that wasp. Falling to
dislodge it, he turned three som-
ersanlts in a manner that would
have rivaled the boss tumbler
a circus.
