JNttrtag £n quiver, COUIBIII, UBOBUIAl BCNDAY SEPTEMBER IS, 1874. THE WITHERED .DAISIES,, And why a daisy wroa th I twine instead of dewy rose*. To hang about the holy shrine Where our lost child reposes. The fields wore white with daisies; k r ou know how l>eautihil she grow, How fair and sweot and lovely. Hut the violot wet with morning uew Is not mure pure and holy. She flittod like sunbeam bright Around our oottage door. Her footsteps as a fairy's light Made music on the floor; On every flowor.ol wood or glade, She lavished childish praise*. She loved all things that God had made, But most she loved the daisies. How many things beyond her years 1 hat then were all unheeded, We think of now with Minding tears, Sweet teachings that we needed. Three happy years we led her feet Along life's thorny maxes, The fourth we laid her down to sleep Amid the April daisies. ’Tls well, and we are satisfied, For Ho who gave the blossom, Who lent to us our angel child, Keoalled her to his bosom} And waiting till he calls for me To sing with her his praises, I'll keep her blessed moraory Embalmed In April daises.

It is a melancholy reflec tion; but wo have no doubt, after all,thut she will shed a bum fall of laughter du ring the same period. —It is not our fault that wo are red headed and small, and the noxt timo one of those overgrown rural roosters in n ball-room reaches down for our head, and suggests that some fellow has lost bud out of his button-hole, there will be trou ble. —Milwau kce Kudin el. —An exchange asks: “Dou’t hanging prevent murder ?” Wo hate to tackle a conundrum of this kind, but our private opinion is that it duos prevent it. Thoro is not a case on record of a person milting murder al lor ho has been success, fully haugod. This stylo of treatment appears to reform them iu Borne way. —A youth uskod permission of bis mother togo to « bull. Mho told him it waa a bad place for littlo boys. “Why, mother, didn’t you aud father go to balbt when you were young?” “Yes, but we have seen the folly of it,” said the moth er. “Well, mother,” excluimed tho son, “I wan’t to soo tho folly of it, too.” —An exchange, ridiculing comity fairs, whioh make no effort ut good shows, says that tho Cloartield fair consisted of a calf, a goose and n pumpkin. It rained so hard the first night that tho gooso swam off, tho calf broke looso aud ute tho pumpkin, and a thief prowling around stole the calf, aud that ended the fair. —Girls havo a fashion of plaoiug a f iieoe of wedding cako under their pii- ows to dream ou. A Miss Jones ate two plates of ice cream, u pint of strawborios and a couple of largo pickles boforo go ing to sleep, aud she says sho does not care about haviug the man sho saw iu her dream for her futuro husband. —“Your Honor,” Baid a prisonor to a Paris judge, “my lawyer is not here and I request a delay of the ease for eight day a. ” “But,” said the judge, “you wore caught in the act of theft; what cau any lawyer say for you ?” “That is just what 1 should like to hear," said the priaouer, and the Court laughed, but seutonoed hiiu to a year. —A Detroit young wouiau tried to be aristocratic, aud did not look at the monoy that she gave to tho horse-ear conductor, but he meekly gave her back tho lozouge ou which was written : “I’ll never cease to 4 love thee,” und said that he was an orphan with five little brothers to support, and must bo excused. — “Are tho Joneses back ?” inquired Mrs. Bpilkius, who hasn't been out of town all summer. “Yes’m," replied the cook, “and Mrs. Brown and the obildron got home from {Saratoga this morning.'' “Then, Mary, you may open the front abutters,'' continued Mrs. 8., “and say that we'vo returned too.”—New York Commercial. —Give a man (ho necessaries of life, and he wants tho conveniences.

The financial report showed that tho re ceipts for the year were $124,089, expen- ditnres $123,536. —Tho prescut number of parishes of the Church of England is 13,200; 11,000 perishes have parsonages. The Ecclesias tical Commission havo since 1818, by eoonomy in the administration of the oburch estates, and by the suppression of 8 1uralities, been increasing the value of le poorer benefices to the annual amount of £486,345.

Trie Fall rastiless. The French lanhi ms, a*, redacted by the fr 11 imporla iooR in New York for the fall, indicate a decided absence of the extravagances aud absurdities of fortum seasons, and a marked improvement in matters of taste. The following are leading poiuts: Cniraa«ca with tabliora are the conf-pic- uous feature# of the new coatnmos, yet there are also many polonaiaes. Thu ten dency is toward plaiu styles and rich m i- t< rials. Many skirts have no flounce* behind, but hang in classic fold* from waist to foot, whilo others are draped lo look an bouffant as they were in tho days of the Grecian bend. Tho tonrnuro i.s very popnlar iu Paris, though out of I * vor hero. Smooth, straight fronts end clinging aide-breadths, drawn closely to the figure by strings at tho back, in-k« the touruuroH of new suits very marked; otherwise the effect is the same an that ••( the present costume. There are i»ca ways of arranging two kinds of materbil in a suit; for instance, the three from breadths will be plaid, aud the three back ones a plaiu color; or ihe front one will ho matchless sill;, while the back is three widths of plain ailk held in a great qqad- rupplo pleat from the belt to the ground; or else the front is camel's hair, und tho back is silk of the same shade. In most cases the back widths are without hori zontal trimmings, flounces, Ac., although such ornaments may be abundant in front. Fall bonnets are large, with flaring fronts, not coronets, but with the front of the bonnet turned upward and out ward. There are both stiff und soft crowns in these combinations of velvot and groH grain. The new shapes cooio sufficiently far forward and extend back ward, being made with reforonce to the now low coiffure that has very little ou top of the head mid a long loose loop be hind, called tho Catogou loop, tiod lip behind iu the way horses' tails are oftou seen ! There is still much fmoe trimming in tho way of ruohes of tulle or lisse and twists of ribbon. Outsido trimmings are massed in front aud down the middle of the crown. Parisian ladies wear com pact bonnet* without any drapery, but some imported bonnets havo ribbou streamers behind and wide strings of silk. More colored bonnets are brought out than usual, as the white chip bonnets of summer will be abandoned early in Bep- teinber, and ladies will want n colored hat before putting on tho black velvet of midwinter. The refined choice lies among such colors as soalskiu brown (with white reddish cast,) dark steel, dark gray, and marine blue. Experienced milliners have little faith in any new shades this Nt'SflOfl. Flowers are massed iu clusters in tho front, nud have branches passing down the middle of the crown. Hoses prevail bh they always do. Tho dark red Japan ese rose, with its fluted petals, is the novelty; there are also many pale pink rosos and dark crimson ones, though but very few tea roses. I'asbiou'i “Meatrletlosia.* A writer ou fashions and fashiou’s peu- aueett, says: “About the middle of the teuth century there came up a terrible aud cruol corset, called coffee hardies. Those were stiffened with stool aud claspod with brass or gold. Wo know very woll, from tho piolnies of that period, whut intensely siuuil waists were produced and whut stiffness of figure. The French words coi'jts andeerres (io tigVou), which seemed to have suggeste 1 tit t word >• >rHet, could not have better ev* l ’ * article of dress. We do not kuow how many womeu died of these corsets—probably more thau have ever diod with broken heart. Men us well us womeu wore the horrible things. One lady of rank Ih described as wearing ‘n splendid girdle of beaten gold nhout her middle small.’ Olmncer describes one of bis beauties as being ‘small as a woasel and upright as a bolt,’ which does not suggest a very pleasing image of foiuulo loveliness to the modern miud. But, if it was the thing to lace in the wuists, it wns another to augment the Hize of (he skirt until its outrageous oircumfurc should make any waist look small. This idea undoubtedly arose when the rich ailkH of the middle ages, stiffened with gold aud brocade, cume to be pluitud into a skirt for a slender figure. The groat mass stood out of ilsull, aud made the waist look very sloudcr. It was u fabric unknown to tho Homans und Greeks, who had mostly a soft woolen ololh out of which to couatrucl thoir dresses, and it made a fashion for itsolf. We find those handsome creatures, tho Italian women of the fifteenth century, outdoing all others iu this luxury of the robe. Queen Catherine de Medioi stauds iu ouo of the galleries at Florence iu stately sploudor, with n hoop of cuortuons dimoUHions holding out her splendid brocade. In fact, tho heavy skirt at ouoo suggested the hoop and necessitated it, for it was heavy us to fatigue tho wearer ; nrul the hoop is always u great relief.” 8UNDAY READING. ••HEUIVETH HIM BELOVED MI.EEP. ” Ti,« Ml„wln f liemtirul lln*« *>« copM from I he I-ul0.I1 Method ill Uecorder of April 2 : Moi'.t i. th. down of il.Js Snoot Ih th.

From the Christian Observer, 'rise Love of the Tratfc. An boneat, earnest, and intelligent love of truth constitutes the noblest and most r« Ji.tble trait found among men. But that there are groat differences amoug men, im to tho ready perception, and ap preciation of -truth, is as dear as tho shining of the sun. Home have no natu ral and honorable affinity for it. They are not among those, “who by reason of use, have their senses exercised to the dis cerning of both good and evil. Henoe they aro riever fixed, and never reliable, here trnth is concerned. Tboy are like the sands of the desert driven by the winds, bore to-day and gone to-morrow. They cannot understand why any should make a great and decisive stand for truth, or why they should face obloquy and brave persecution for causes whioh they regard as but trivial. Bnch men are never to be trustod where truth requires a de fender. And if the church uf God had been left wholly to them, her glory would have departed loug siuce. Their fears, their affinities, aud their downward facili ties nil tend towurd error and erromts. And just ns they aro regardless of truth, are they prodigious in their professions t( liberality.

Mehutt made auhstantially the same ohrtorvutlou some years ago, K Kt pin a llurrsn Fiiehh.—Y., Dayton ()., asks how butter that in prime kept for Hovorul weeks in Hummer. The best way to keep butter is to exclude the air from it aud put it iu a cool, place; but the first is tho moat important if the butter is iu a pail, tub or jar, cov er it one or two inches with the strongOKt brine made from the boat Onoudaga but tor salt. Hetuoinber, it will not do to simply cover it with salt; the air will pass through the Halt, but not through the brine. If tho package has a tight fitting cover, ho much the bettor. The beHt but- tor, exposed to the air in summer, will uot keep perfect for twenty-four bourn. Butter for the family should bo kept con stantly under briuo.—American Farmer. Composition Cakk. — One pound of sifte 1 flour, with 2 tonspooufulH of bak ing powder well siftod through it, 1 pound of .sugar, half pound of buttor. half pint of sweat cream, aud l gill of white bran dy. Bake iu a slow oven. Citron or candied lemon improve this cake.

A very neat and aa 1 - 18factory dressing iu superficial bums consists in coating the surface with mu cilage, and then covering it with powder ed lycopodium. Light Oatmeal Cakes. — Soak oue pound of oatmeal for ten or twelve honra iu one pint of sour buttermilk. Then rub quarter of au ouuoe of carbonate of soda aud a littlo Halt into ono pound of flour and mix with the oatnie il. Huh it out to any tbiukuess required, and bake iu a moderate oven. Sandwiches.—Out a thick slice of broad and toast it brown on cither Ride; when cold it must be slit and the meat theu in serted, and the sandwich, instead of being dry, will retain nil the moisture of fresh cut bread. A good lining for a sandwich is made with hard-boiled eggs cut iu slices, and chopped anchovies. Bbeakfast Rolls.—Boil ono pint of now milk when cooled to about milk , add oue groat spoonful of lard, two of sugar, aud one-half teaspoonful of salt, with a half teacup of yeast. Stir in one qaart of sifted flour, and put in a warm place to rise. I do this at five in the after noon, let it rise till nine or ten, then stir in auother quart of aifted flour. Let it rise till morning, when, if kept iu a warm place, it will be ready to mould aud make into rolls. After moulding, roll out about an inch thiok, eut with a common biscuit- cutter, and fold together in the same way that a turnover ia made, plaoing a small S ieoe of butter between the folds.

Thsee i when properly made, are delirious. and molt down its pure gold into quanti- ties too light to be appreciable on the Monies of truth. Ifenoe, their pulpits give no offeuce to the sinner, snd no solid food to the Christian. They are fond of uovoilieH, bocauso thoy are novelties to them, not knowing that they have been rotting for ages amoug the rubbish of error. Such men have the art, in a most superior degree, of reducing Christianity to the lowest possible quantity without apparently annihilating its existence. On the other hand, there are men, who have au honest, steady affinity for truth as such.* They are endowed with a ready und quick perception of it wherever found. “By reasou of use, thoy have thoir souses exercised,’’ so thut iu regard to it, whonever seen, they honor it, and grasp it, and hold it fast for life. But such men ore uot driven about by evory wind of doctrine, nor are thoy hampered to-day, by tho fallacies of yesterday. They know tho truth, nud the truth has made them free, froo from the eudless fluctua tions of folly, free from tho betrayal of truth, freo from shams, inconsistencies and falsehoods, and free fro^i a speoklod reputation, which the world doubts, much moro than it admires. 8u-h men look upou truth as Uie groat contrnl object of attraction, around whioh their lives aud acts must ever move. They do not mako themselves tho centre, and all things else subordinate. Thoy take divine truth as it is revealod, without change, alteration, or umondmout. Thdy uoither harden it nor soften it, widen it nor narrow it, nor vurioguto it with whimR, falsehoods, or aelf-conoeits. As it is, they take it, and stand by it. But what irt truo of diviue truth, is true of nil truth. It is the lovers of truth, in nil tho departments of knowledge, that are tho true men upon wkoui the world may well rely. —The ltooky Mouutain Conferoncoo of the Methodist Hpisoopai Church met this year iu Balt Lake City, Bishop Bowtuau presiding.
