Possibly they feared the loss of one of their "sights," which are food and raiment to the poor of Italian cities in general, each inhabitant consoling himself with the reflection, "after me the flood' The "sight certainly is one not to be met in other parts.

This they are kept for in some out-of-the-way place usually the garret and every spring need to be dusted and replaced and re-arranged. Sometimes at this spring cleaning a spasm of sense leads tbe good housewife to attack her collection with a daring hand, and presto they are whisked into the tinman's cart or an old-furniture wagon and she has ample space for drying her herbs, and the children get a new play-room betides while her pantry becomes resplendent with new pans, and her closets glitter and gleam with new glass and china, gorgeous to behold; and a pretty whatnot, or chair, or table gets the best place in the parlor.

The next thing to be done is to clear the chimneys. The grimy noeept are seldom seen outside our largest cities, so we must either burn the chimneys out by rousing fires some rainy day, or hire a man to go to the roof of the house with a brick or a billet of heavy wood attached to a strong rope, which he will lower and raise through the flues till we have reason to suppose tbat the soot is all scraped down to the foot of each flue whence it must be removed as it falls into the fireplace, or, if there is no fireplace, by displacing a brick. Marble mantels should be cleaned by rubbing them briskly with a woolen cloth wet with cold soft water-soap yellows them. When turned yellow they may sometimes be whitened by occasionally wetting them with weak lime-water. The bedrooms and their furniture should then be examined; if you have the least suspicion that tbe joints or crevices of your bedsteads are inhabited, or that any blood-thirsty red-skins not to give those intruders a worse name have taken lodgings in the walls or about the floor.

After a thorough washing and scrubbing with soap suds, give every spot that would be likely to harbor them, a plenty of drink for them, by applying thereto with a feather a solution of corrosive sublimateone ounce in half a pint of New England rum, prepared by a druggist. If one application does not finish them, try another. If your room is badly infested it may take even more; but it is sure to clear them all out if you will persevere in its use during the month of June, then by keeping your bedding clean and allowing a plenty of fresh air through the apartment you will never again be troubled with them. If the room is carpeted the carpet should be removed before you begin this operation. Taking up carpets, shaking them, and putting them down are the most laborious jobs of house cleaning if you can impress a man or a large boy into your service, get them to do these for you.

An honest man carries bis character in his face. The watchmaker was called to prove that he soia me wsica to mi. Blenkinsopp aboarn montn previously. A clerk from Mr. Blenkinsopp's office was called to witness the numbers of the notes which had been drawn from the bank early on the day before the robbery, and the numbers entered in his pri vate pecK-DOOK, according to custom.

Mr. Ebenezer Grant would gladly have closed the trial at this stage, bat his patience was doomed to a farther trial. An inspector in the detective force was called, and he gave evidence as to the character of Mr. Ebenezer Grant, and in the course of it, a slight history or tne commercial traveller career came to light. He was a traveller, but the firm for which he travelled was not to be found in the directory.

Before he left the court he was arrested on more than one charge, and there was some talk of indicting him for perjury. John Henthorn was acquitted, of course, and he and Lacy were invited, together with Edmund Carew, to dine with old Mr. Blenkinsopp. And then Jobn Henthorn told his story. After receiving tbe watch and notes, he remained at the "Blue Boar," in the hopes of bearing of some employment.

While waiting he met Mr. Ebenezer Grant, who had been most affable, and most prodigal of nis promises to get Jonn employment, joun aa-mitted that he was very much taken with his companion, and tbat he had confided too much to him. He told him of the curious old gentleman who had entrusted his property to him; he showed him the watcn anu tne notes, ana Mr. Ebenezer tyrant nad taken a great deal of interest in tbe storv, and had examined the watch and tbe notes, and pronounced on the quality of both. He had endeavored to persuade John to give them up to him to keep; he had declared he knew the old gentleman well, and when he found that this tack was unsuccessful, he made hints which John did not understand then, but the meaning of which he now understood fully, viz: that they should go otf with the money and divide the spoil.

John then told more of bis own history. How bis mother bad died when he was roung. and his father only lately, leaving his sister and himself totally unprovided for: how they had sold the little furniture in the cottage in the little country town where they lived, and be had come up to town to set iheir fortune and how all their little fund was spent. When the little dinner broke up, I think Edmund Carew went home happier. It was not because he bad made a good start in his profession, for he was hardly aware of that; he had been interested in the case and had forgotten himself; it was not became Mr.

Blenkinsopp had compelled him to take one of the bank notes as a fee, declaring that the case was his own, and Edward Carew his barrister; it was not because he had made the acquaintance of the senior partner of an influential firm of the city lawyers I think the happy faces of the brother and sister whom he had befriended made him feel happy; but this I know, that when he reached his lonely chambers they did not seem so loneiy as usual a iragrant memory seemed to be present; a frail, fairy-like form seemed to move about them when he fell asleep he dreamed that a little finger touched his elbow. and two blight little eager eyes were gazing into his. Mr. Blenkinsopp went home happier. He was a lone old man.

He bad a benevolent heart; but he was odd. People th -night him a ttern old man but they did nut know of the sweet home he had when young, and how in a week the old home bad been broken up, and he had been sent to the care of a stern old aunt full of precise kindness, and sharp, prudent and saving ways; they did not Know oi tne up-nui ngot he had endured, and yet how he had forsaken many a pleasure and many a gain, that he might so home and watch by the side of a sick old aunt who had been the making of him still lets did they know the story of the old Bible which his aunt had read so regularly to him when he was a lad, and which he read so regularly to his aunt when she was an invalid they did not know of that night when the sternness of the aunt had forsaken her, and the story of a loving Saviour's death had laid hold upon her heart, and he learned to see that there was more reality in that word than 1.3 had ever thought of, and went to bis room to read and pray, but not to rest. They did not know how the bright and happy truth had dawned upon him. and how he had changed in all but the cold, stiff manner that ne could not change; tor though the heart was warm and tender that heat within, there was neeAed something without to draw forth the kindlier manner. John and his sister went home happier that night; for John's misfortune had proved his suc cess, and he was to go to Mr.

Blenkinsopp's tomorrow, and commence his occupation as a clerk there at a fair salary. "John," said little Lucy, as she bade her brother good night, "1 have thought of a nice text for today." so nave Lncy. "What i yours, John "No, tell ine yours first, Lucy." "'When my father and mother forsake me, the Lord taketh me And now yours, John." "I have been young and am now old, yet never saw I the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging That's the text tbat came into my mind when Mr. Blenkinsopp told me I could go to him as a clerk. I remember our dear father's life, Lucy, and how he wore himself out trying to help others, and how he always said he could trust the providence of God, because he knew the grace of God." Then thev parted for the night, and little Lucy knelt beside her tiny bed in that dingy little room.

and thanked God for his care, and prayed a bless- ing on the good old man, and on the noble young man who had befriended them on that day. There was a wedding some years after this, when Edward Carew, Q. was married to Lucy Henthorn, only sister of John Henthom, of the firm of Blenkinsopp Henthorn and a very happy wedding it was, and people remarked that old Mr. Blenkinsopp looked the merriest of the party till the bride and bridegroom went away, and then it was noticed that he coughed a good deal, and muttered to himself, and wiped his spectacle glasses very often. THE SHORTEST WAY HOME.

"The shortest way by half a mile I come bo very often by it Is up the road, across the Btile, And through the meadow. Shall we try Tbo days were not without a charm When talking soft and looking silly, My Love and 1 walked arm in arm, And lanes were lone and fields were stilly. We found bo raary things to say, That always In the shiny weather We took the well, the shorter way, To be a longer time together. We spoke about (but goodness knows Our topics of confabulation) About the weather, I suppose, The crops, the harvest, and the nation. At all events, although the talk Was neither wise nor very witty.

We ended each successive walk With "Home already what a pity We might have lost a little ground Through coming by the road selected, But both agreed that we had found The journey shorter than expected. Cftn Life's experiment support Th paradox that Love proposes? Does any path seem very short, Unleen it be a path of roses We seldom find the nearer way; And if we bit upon and take it, By creeping on from day to day, It seems as long as length can make It. The road to Fame Is never brief, The way to Wealth Is dull and dreary; All earthly routes, in my belief, Are very long and very weary. Nay one that leads through care and strife Is short, when mo rials oitce begin it; We take the "near cut" ouijof life, Although we take the longest in it.

Dust them nicely, and If they need washing, use, as for all nice cleansing purposes, not the number less powders and soaps so loudly advertised and puffed for their labor-saving qualities, which are generally injurious both to the paint and the hands of the washer, but a harmless and most excellent preparation of your own, made in the following way One bar of hard soap cut into small pieces and dissolved In four gallons of hot rain water. which is kept over the fire till the mixture is ready to boll.

Then stir in a quarter of a pound of borax and one pound of common washing soda finely pulverized. This makes a soft soap, of which two tablespoon fn Is to a gallon of water gives a suds strong enough for all sorts of wash ing or scrubbing. If any receptacles for clothing are not completely tight the cracks should be covered with strips of paper pasted over them end if you have any fears of the moths, sprinkle benzine very plentifully within and about them, and among the woolens placed therein put cedar chips or shavings and tobacco stems. Furs should be thoroughly shaken, and hung in a draught of fresh air a day or two before being laid away; then placed in thick paper bags, with a little gum camphor; the bags pasted very tightly not a crack or a crevice anywhere to admit air. No moths can then attack them from the outside, and if any should chance to remain after the shaking, the camphor will de stroy them.

But many sins are laid to the charge of the moths that are really perpetrated by our common house-flies and those little silvery fish-like insects that are called shiners. Spiritsof turpentine, or benzine, sprinkled about tbe haunts of these latter insects will cause them When the flies abound, all furs and woolens should be kept well covered from them, and death-dealing potions, In the shape of saucers filled with a mix ture of cobalt, sugar and water, or tbe "Lightning Fly Paper' placed In their way.

It has a fine, delicate, aro matic flavor, and it Is very strong. It is a selection of the choicest leaves from the best cultivated Tea districts of China. Vast numbers of the Chinese people worship the Sun as the highest and purest object of excellence, and as they designate the Emperor of China "His Imperial Highness, Brother of the 6un, Emperor of the Celestial Flowery Kingdom," It naturally follows that whatever comodity or objects to which they apply the double title of "Sun-Sun" must necessarily possess the highest qualities of purity and imperial excellence. And that Is exactly what we claim for our Great Bun- Sun Crop that it is perfectly pure, of a choice, rich flavor, very full strength, and conducive to health as well as pleasure. The Great Sun-Sun Chop Is cured without coloring matter of any kind.

It possesses all the delicious aromatic flavor, as well as all the soothing and invigorating virtues which have rendered the Tea plant famous throughout many generations. The Great Sun-Sun Chop, We feci fully persuaded, will sal! the taste of all lovers of good Tea whether tbey have been seen stomed to the use of the Black or Green varieties heretofore. And Its perfect parity enhances its value, aid must establish it In favor with all classes.

JOHN IIENTIIORN'S TRIAL THE DABKNE8S THAT PRECEDED THE DAWN. One by one the charges were read over.

He, jonn Henthom, stood charged with having stolen a handsome gold watcb, four other articles of jeweiry, ann some bank notes, trom urant, commercial traveler; and tie was charged on toe second count with having the ahove men tioned articles in his possession, knowing them to cave oeen stolen, tie was only a lad just eighteen; he had no friends in the great ciiy, which seemed to him so hard-hearted, at tbat moment to be continuing its business with the same eager roar as ever, while he stood on his trial. He had no friends-? Yes, he had a dear little friend, his sister Lucy. She was standing by, listening to ine person wno read over these charges in a hard, dry, matter-of-fact style, and then asked her brother yes, though she could hardly believe it, it was her own brother John who stood there in the dock, between two policemen whether he was gamy or not gnuty. She listened eagerly for John's reply. She saw his mouth open and make an ineffectual effort to form the words.

At length it came with a gasp, "Not guilty." Little Lucy breathed more freely. Her little finger was laid upon her lips her thin face was paier tnan ever, out her eyes were bright and anxious no, not so much anxious as watchful and eager. She knew now for she had heard her brother speak that Jobn was innocent and though she knew for she was nearly tarnished now soreiy jonn migiit nave oeen tempted by necessity, yet John was innocent. John was innocent; but John must Be proved Innocent. She knew that the gentlemen ranged in rows before the judges were all clever lawyers, who could prove that John had stolen nothing; so she slipped down from the crowd among which she was standing, and, being so small, she passed unobserved to the corner of the lawyers' seats-She watched all their faces for a long time.

Some of them were busily engaged turning over great masses of paper and parchment; others were sitting moodily, with their hands upon their foreheads, briefless barristers who were meditating on the inequalities of the world, and how it was that "that densely stupid Fumblertrump has his hands full of and they, "who could beat his head off at billiards, or any other gentlemanly employment," were left briefless. Among these unhappy and involuntarily idle barristers, was one who had for fourteen years frequented the courts, and never met with that treasure a brief. He had no connection no one to give him a start. His little fortune was ebbing slowly away. He had managed to pick up a few pounds in a variety of ways.

He had sometimes communicated the first intelligence of an appalling accident which he had been fortunate enough to witness, to some of the daily papers, and had received a few shillings for his trouble. But bit by bit his little capital the careful, hard-earned savings of a loving father, the vicar of a little country living dwindled away. He was thinking, with his head between his hands thinking bitterly of his unprofitable life he contrasted his own position of compulsory idleness and unavoidable gentility with the industrious and grateful toil of the day laborer. He pictured the rough-handed man returning from bis work tfred but not exhausted the merry faces and the hearty greeting the crowing children and the radiant-faced wife. He then thought of himself, Edmund Carcw, returning to his lonely chambers with pale face and dejected spirit; and Edmund Carew was about to curse the day of his birth, when a light finger was laid upon his elbow, and a face pater and sadder than his own looked up at him.

"Will you make the judge let my brother off?" "Who is your brother, little woman Little Lucy pointed to the dock. Now, by some means or other, Edmund Carew's ears had heard the charges against the lad in the dock, and his memory had retained the outline of the case, though his mind had been occupied with bemoaning his own unhappy lot. He looked up at the lad, and saw a fine, manly-looking young fellow confronting the whole court. In an instant a lesson was taught to the young lawyer. Here was a youth, friendless in a great city, and yet boldly keeping a good heart in the presence of a most crushing and cruel trial.

The sight lent fresh courage to the briefless barrister's heart. The judge spoke: "Have you any counsel "No, my lord," said John. "Then, Mr. Fnmblefrum, I think" "Pardon me, my lord," said Edmund, rising, "the prisoner was not aware, bat I am instructed by his friends to undertake his defense." His friends! John looked around in amazement. His friends yes, the barrister bad said his friends; but he could not understand it for he could not see his little Lucy standing by the barrister's side.

The case then commenced. The counsel for the prosecution called his witnesses. The claimant of the articles, the waiter, the boots and the bar-maid at the inn, were all called to prove that John Henthom must have been the thief. It appeared that John had been in the habit of frequenting the "Blue Boar" in the hope of meeting with some employment; the "Bine Boar" was the rendezvous for persons seeking- tutors, travellers, agents, The claimant of the goods was described as a commercial traveller; he had met the prisoner at the inn; and had some conversation with him. He deposed to having lost his watch and other articles he gave the number of the notes, and identified the watch and jewelry.

The boots, bar-maid and waiter were called to prove that the first witness had a watch when he arrived at the "Blue Boar." The waiter noticed "perticler," as the clock in the commercial room had stopped, and he had asked the gentleman to be so good as to give him the "hexack" time. The bar-maid proved that the commercial gentleman had taken a few glasses of spirits, and had gone straight to bed, after John Henthom had left the inn. "Was the commercial gentleman Intoxicated "No sir, not that bnt he was careless-like in his manner when be bade the prisoner good night." "When did the gentleman first mention his loss "When he came down the next morning." Police constable 112 was called to prove that the watch and other articles were found by him at the prisoner's lodgings, at No. 137 Zebedee street. While these witnesses were being examined an old gentleman made his way into court.

He now sat beside Edmund Carew; he wore a large pair of gold spectacles, from beneath which there beamed a pair of benevolent eyes. He never looked about him, but kept his eyes fixed upon the witnesses, as one by one they filed into the box. Edmund Carew cross-examined the witnesses for the prosecution. His interest was aroused; he was working for another; his own troubles were forgotten, others beside himself were friendless; it was a new joy to him to find some one whom he, helpless and useless, conld befriend. He threw his whole mind into the case, and he cross-examined with keenness and vigor, and tbe parchment-faced attorneys nodded now and then at one another.

Mr. Ebenezer Grant lost Mr nonchalant manner and his tone of supercilious indifference, as the young barrister pressed home a few pointed questions. The bar-maid ceased to be coquettish, and the waiter to be positive. Finally the barrister declared his Intentien by calling witnesses for the defence, and began of caning upon Mr. Blenkinsopp.

When Mr. Blcnkinsopp entered the box poor John Henthorn gave way altogether. He leaned forward, buried his face in his hand and sobbed, and Mr. Blenkinsopp's voice trembled a little, as he described himself as the senior partner in the firm of Blenkinsopp, Fusscl Fudge, attorneys. He Identified the watch and notes and other articles as his own.

He deposed to having. given them into the charge of the prisoner on the alter-noon of the day on which the robbery was alleged to have been committed. Would he tell the court the circumstances under which be had entrusted these articles to the prisoner Yes. He was summoned on the day he spoke of to attend a large and important meeting in the city. He left his office about noon, and on his way to the place of meeting he turned into the "Blue uoar to get some mncn.

He met the prisoner in the common-room got into conversation with him. While there discovered that he had brought his watch and notes of value, and some few trinkets with him; he had done it unintentionally, as he made it an invariable rule to leave all articles of value behind him when he attended public meetings; he gave them to tbe prisoner to take cnarge or. "Did you tell the prisoner your name "No "How were you to receive your property "I agreed to call at the prisoner's lodgings in zeoeaee street. "Did you call there "Yes, and heard from the landlady that Mr. Henthorn had been arrested." The counsel for the prosecution here asked a question.

The feudal nobles, looked with an insane hatred upon the busy cities of tbe working-men, and constantly labored to destroy their benefactors. They would have been glad to have swept them from the earth. Like Commines, they could not understand why God permitted laboring communities to exist. Froissart rejoiced in the slaughter of "the low-born peasants" of Ghent, and lamented that any of tbem were left. The Dukes of Burgundy loaded the cities with taxes, which they collected whenever they were able.

They made every excuse for pillaging and burning tbem. The "good" Duke Philip burned the rich town of Dinant, and drowned eight hundred of its citizens in the river the bold Charles made magnificent Liege a fearful solitude. A warfare almost constant raged for several centuries between the working-men of Flanders and the feudal powers around them, in which the men of labor were often more than a match for the men of the sword, in which the long pikes of the tradesmen often put to flight great hosts of mail-clad warriors, and which aided iu a great degree to produce the downfall of cmvairy. ine example ot uiient ana Hinges every where awakened the self-respect of laboring men. Ghent stood at the front of European progress.

James, and his son Philip, van Arteveldt awoke a wild enthusiasm for self-government which was felt in every land. Tbe Parisian butchers and clothiers rose against their king, all Flanders obeyed Philip, and the people, it is said, adored him as a god nobility and royalty began to be looked upon as badges of infamy the crimes of kings and nobles made them hated murderers and assassins; and tbe peasants of France, in the rising called The Jacquerie, said very truly that, "the nobles of tbe Kingdom of France, Knight and Squire, were a disgrace to it." Eugene Lawrence tn Harper's Magazine. ONE OP THE DOGS. A year or two since, a smnll farmer, in the upper part of Maine, one morning found a homely looking sorrel -colored dog hanging around bis house. His tail had been recently chopped off, and the animal, altogether, presented a sorry appearance.

Tbe farmer paid little attention to the animal, not wishing to be troubled with him. For two or three days the friendless dog hung around tlie premises, with a piteous look until at length the farmer, moved with compassion, called the dog to him and fed him; he was almost famished. That settled the whole thing; the dog, overflowing with joy and gratitude in having secured a new friend, stuck to his benefactor like a counter. He would not leave him. The farmer soon after ascertained that the dog's former master had cut off his tail, and the animal immediately left him in disgust and dudgeon.

The new master did not wish to keep him, and a friend who lived some seven miles away carried the animal home in the box of his chaise. But the dog found his way back again as soon as he got released. The farmer then made up his mind to keep him. He turned out to be an excellent watch dog and a hunter. One night after tea the farmer missed his dog.

"Where is Skip No one had seen him since he started with his master into the woods early that morning. At last tbe farmer bethought him of his gun, which he had laid down on the ground whilst he loaded his sled with wood. He had come off and forgotten it. It was then snowing; if he left it all night it would be covered up, a id it would be difficult to find it. He returned to the woods for his gun, and there found it with the faithful dog beside, watching it.

On Sunday Skip would go to meeting with the family. When they rode, the dog would stay in the wagon and watch it but if they went on foot he would go into church with them, which they could not well prevent, and by which they were annoyed. One Sunday, when the family were going to meeting on foot, the farmer shut the dog up in the house. Skip did not fancy such treatment, and every Sunday morning afterwards he would invariably get upon a little knoll near the house and there await the departure of the family for church, and then cross lots at full )ound, always keeping ahead of the family until they arrived at the meeting house. How did the dog know when Sunday came? 'He must have kept the record of time somehow.

Our Dumb Animals. DOCTORS AND MINISTERS IN SWE- DEN. In Sweden a physician makes no charge whatever for medical attendance, and, what is more remarkable still, very many of the people who can afford to pay for the services of a doctor are willing to avail themselves of such aid without paying anything for it. One physician told me that of ninety-six cases that he had treated within a certain time only six paid him at all It is customary for those who do pay to pay by the year, and fifty-six dollars, or about twelve American dollars, would be a large sum for persons in good circumstances to give for tbe benefit of a physician's counsel for a whole year. There is therefore, no great inducement, in the way of profit, to go into the medical profession.

Nor is it an introduction to society, the physician not being in this respect materially above the apothecary in social standing. The clergy, as a profession, are not materially better off than the physician. Their pay comes from the State, but their salaries are very small, and, with only here and there an exception, they have very little influence, social or political. They are not men of learning, and perhaps they are as influential as they could be expected to be. The established region is Lutheran, with one archbishopric, eleven bishoprics, with 3500 clergymen.

They are said to be "highly educated," but I was assured there is a great lack of education among the clergy, and the very small salaries which even the dignitaries receive would confirm the statement that the church does not retain the aid of learned and able men. Letter to Y.t Observer. A LADY DENTIST. A young German widow of superior character, capability and position, left in reduced circumstances at the death of her husband, came over to the Dental College in Philadelphia to qualify herself for the profession. Her success was signal her executive faculty the wonder and admiration of the students, who considered it a privilege to witness her dexterity and skill in operations.

She finished the required course with the highest honors; but one of the professors, though be knew her to be thoroughly qualified, refused his signature to her diploma, not liking women in the profession. This balked her whole plan, for in Germany the rules are very strict and she would not be allowed to practise without all her credentials complete. in this strait, tne higher powers ot the college interfered in the cause of justice, and signified to the professor that he must either resign his place or give his name to the well earned diploma. Whereupon he did the distasteful thing of acknowledging a woman qualified to practice den tistry and the lady is about to return to her own country, probably to run a most successful career as to fame and fortune; for she has royal friends who have watched her course from the first, and are ready to smile upon her efforts. Her rather singular choice of a profession arose in the first place from her interest in the teeth of young girls, that seem now-a-days to be so defective, requiring dental services in the very vigor of youth.

It is to be hoped that a woman so fully qualified may do something in the way of discovering the cause and the remedy. FASHIONABLE MATCHES. The daughter marries either the richest man she can get, or the most fashionable one of her set, or she is married for her father's money. Her wardrobe is the most costly that can be found. Her honeymoon is passed in cars, steamboats and hotels, in a whirl of fatigue and excitement.

Not being able to keep house In the same style as her father and nothing less luxurious would suffice her she goes to a fashionable boarding-house to reside. There she is surrounded by expensively dresficd, idle women, who have no apparent object in life but shopping, dressing and gossiping. She soon makes an intimate friend of one of them, and commences the same vapid, aimless, unsanctified life. Her little children, born in this godleBS existence, arc left to th spent ire charge of nurses, and sometimes escaping from the vigilance of Bridget or Lizette, are seen wandering around the forbidden precincts of the parlors and halls, with the scarea toon oi utile criminals evading tbe police. No morning and evening sacrifice of prayer and praise has fallen on their ear; a hurried prayer to nurse, while half Asleep thev are coin to bed.

is all they know or have been taught of the higher duties of life. On Sunday, in these caravanseries, the household, with few exceptions, arise too late to attend morning service or if they do, it is only another ministration at the shrine of fashion. Dinner on the Sabbath is a full dress affair, and the conversation Is just as worldly as nsnal. Brooklyn Monthly. A Wonderful Clock.

A clock which has iust been completed for the Cathedral of Beanvais contains 90,000 wheels, and indicates among many other things' the days of the week, tbe month, the year, the signs of the zodiac, the equation of time, the course of the planets, the phases of the moon, the time at every capital in the world, the movable feasts for one hundred years the saint's days, Perhaps the most curlouB part of the mechanism is that which gives the additional day in leap year, and which consequently is called into action only once in fonr years. The clock is wound up every eignt uays. ine main aiai is twelve reet in diameter, and the total cost exceeds $40,000. A little dot a few davs ago. while coming down stairs, was cantloned by his mother not to lose his balance.

Hii question which followed was puzzler: "Mother. ir i snouia lose mv balance, frn wnna tn ing in clear rainwater, in the sunshine, while you get the room ready to put them up again. If you have a grass lat they will whiten better by spread ing them there. Carpets are generally beaten too much. If you can spread them on the grass and sweep them well, first on one side and then on the other, a number of times, they look better and will not be so worn as by beating.

Nice carpets should only be shaken lightly and then swept with a soft brush. Let them be left in the open air several hours. While your curtains are bleaching and your carpet airing you will do your cleaning of the room Don't attempt more than one room at a time and finish all the chambers before you begin with the lower story. Commence your work by sweeping the ceiling with a soft brush or a cloth tied over a broom.

Then rub the wall paper, as high as ycu can reach with your hand, with a piece of old flannel if there are any very bad spots upon it use a crust of white bread, rubbing with the inner side. Make a sort of mop, by tying the flannel to a pole, for cleaning the higher part of the wall. After this wash the windows, cleaning the sash with the soap suds before mentioned. Never apply soap directly to paint. If it is badly smoked or soiled wet your brush or cloth-flannel is better than cotton with hot snds, and take upon it a very little fine sand, with which rub lightly, and rinse with clean water immediately; then rub till dry with an unwet cloth.

A meat peg, or a strip of whalebone, is of great use to clean corners and crevices and mouldings cover it with your cloth you will need this in cleaning the window sash. to he continued. MARRIAGE IN RUSSIA. When the bridetrroom is presented, the whole house is in confusion alt the relations, friends, and neighbors, on both sides, are invited to the house ot the bride, nen an tne expected company are assembled, the matchmaker comes in, leading the bridegroom by the hand, and, going straight to the head of the house, presents him. The lather hrst, then the mother, kisses him.

i tie bride's father then leads the young man to a table covered with a white cloth on the table is a silver salver with a loaf of bread on it, and on the bread a salt-cellar with salt. Two rings one of gold, the other of silver are placed on a small silver tray before a golden image or tne virgin wary holding the Child Jesus in her arms. With this image they bless the future couple. All the company stand; the mother holds the bride, completely dressed in white, by the hand, surrounded by all her dearest friends and companions. All bow before the image.

The father takes the im age, the mother the bread and salt; the young couple then kneel under the image, and are hrst blessed by the father; the latter then takes the bread and salt from the hands of the mother and gives her the image, and the same ceremony is re peated. After this the futher and mother of the bridegroom do the like. Then comes thegivi gof the rings; the bride lather gives the golden ring to the bridegroom, the silver one to the bride. They are now affianced to each other, and give each other tne nrst kiss, nen tne -ceremony is over, the com nan enjoy themselves thev chat, laugh, eat, and drink, and separate, after having fixed the day for (he marriage. During the interval between this ceremony and the marriage, the bridegroom spends all his evenings with the bride, often tete-atete.

The marriage ceremony follows. It is also called the coronation, because, during the ceremony, a crown is placed on the heads of the affianced. Then the priest otters them a cup oi wine, oi wnicn tney both drink, as a sign of the union thev have con tracted. A solemn procession is led by the offi ciating priest, tne onae ana onacgroom louowing, round the desk placed in the centre of the church. upon which is laid the Bible.

This is meant to represent the jovs which await them, and the eter nity ot these ties. During tne puonc ceie oration of the marriage the ringB worn by the voung peo ple are exchanged the husband now wearing the silver one, tbe bride the golden. From the church all the company are invited go to the house of the bridegroom father. A week after they return to church, when the priest litts the crown from their neaus. mis is tne nnai consecration ot tne marriage.

Comfort for Tea Drinkers In the life of most persons a period arrives when the stomach no longer digests enough of the ordinary elements of food to make up for the natural daily waste of tne ooaiiy substance, ine size and weight ot the body, therefore, begin to diminish more or less perceptibly. At this time tea comes in as a medicine to arrest the waste, to keep the body from fall if) away so fast, aud thus to enable the less energetic powers of digestion still to supply as much as is needed to repair the wear and tear of the solid tissues, jno wonder, therefore, that tea should be a favorite, on the one band, with the poor, whose supply of substantial food is scanty, and on the other, with the aged and infirm, especially of the feebler sex, whose powers of digestion and whose bodily substance have together begun to fail. Nor is it surprising that the aged female, who has barely enough of weekly income to buy what are called the common necessaries of life, should yet spend a portion of her small gains in purchasing her ounce of tea. She can live quite as well on less common food, when she takes her tea along with it; while she feels tighter, at the' same time more cheerful, and fitter for her work. because of the indulgence.

Chemistry of Com mon lAje. A DOOMED CITY. Independently of other inducements, it Is worth while to make tbe tonr of the ancient cities of Etruria on account of the loveliness of their situations and the varied beauty of the landscape encircling them. Take, for instance, Volterra, set on high, overlooking the Mediterranean, the fertile Pisan territory, and a Plutonic tract of conntrv at its feet, split and warped into savage fury of chasm and nakedness by internal fires. Its situation marks it finely for a doom as tragic as that of tne cities ot tne nam lnuecu, one more dramatic, for it will be thrown down from its towering height into a bottomless quicksand below, which is swallowing in immense mouthfuls the mountain on which it stands.

Having already engulfed the Church of St. flinsti, it has reached on the north the ancient walls of the Badia, from which the monks have fled in dismay, leaving their remarkable cloisters trembling on the brink of a precipice of sand 500 to 1000 feet deep, which leans over a treacherous abyss of hidden waters, sapping the un solid earth above them with relentless energy. Each year the distance between the precipice and the city is growing less, yet it seems fascinated by tbe peril. The massive walls which have stood firmly on their foundations three thousand years may help Induce a feeling of security in their ability to outlive this enemy as they have all others. But the contrast in sensations is most startling when, after following their circuit for miles in wonder at their hugeness, one comes at a single step upon this tremendons undermining of a mountain which, at an unexpected moment, is destined not merely to leave no one stone of them on another, but to bury them forever from human sight, and with them tbe people who truBted to their strength for safety.

It is an impressive spectacle, not only of the transitoriness of all human work, but of those agencies which are preparing the earth for new forms and species of existence. I comprehend sleeping quietly on the edge of a volcano, or during a battle, for there the elements of death have In them that of the sublime, which puts the spirit on a level with the occasion but tbe thought of the prolonged, helpless strangulation of a whole city irresistibly sucked into the bowels of the earth, Is awful. No heroism can avail in burial alive, and no human sacrifice can avert the destruction after Nature hns sonnded the signal of doom. Yet with a degree of stupidity which seems cast belief, the Votterrians once refused to perroft an enterprising cjtlygnof.
