The Household.
SHE HATH DONE WHAT SHE COULD.
BY M E. K.
In many an honr. with many a winged prayer,
Os lire’s brief, busy days,
I lift mv heart with anxious, wandering care,
"Shalll win the Master’spraliet
I dare not hope that he will say •’ well done; ”
I know that cannot be,
I case aghast on murdered years all gone,
And cry, “ Oh, woe to me I”
But still, I know life’s early morn I gave
To God, with faith all true;
And. oh ! e’en I did proudly crave
Some noble work to do.
That work he gave, and, Martha like, was I
Intent on my own way 7
Thon tempteat not, vet other power* defy
And oft our fond hop< s slay.
Will he excuse omissions that do blot
The record of my time?
I know his Justice ne’er can tie forgot.
But mercy lives sublime!
Oh, will he say, "She hath done what she
eould ? ”
Oh. comfort me. his saints;
Soul, higher look to Him who understood,
He hears all thy complaints.
What if he should commend me in this praise 1
I’d sink into a sea of bliss.
Or rise exhaled in heaven’s own air of praise
To a higher sphere than this.
Thus we disciples our experience tell
< In some sueh strains as this;
To look within, In sooth, it must be well,
But friends, let us not miss
The golden mean 'twixt contemplative mooda
And some unguided seal.
Faith, working faith, in all thine altitudes
Teach thou us how to feel
So much for Marys that in heathen lands
Misplace affections rare.
And live devoted, neath inhuman bands
And wrongs beyond compare;
So much of Marahs that in heathen lands
Do quench some loving souls
Who would be Mary’s if. with busy hands
We gather up the doles.
We quaff the crystal waters from the founts
Os free salvation’s wells ;
Our faith, by work, o’er ocean barriers mounts
And this same story tells,
Os Mary—grateful Mary’s loving tears,
And of her jeweled hair,
Her jeweled crown she’s worn for years on years,
And shall forever wear.
That perfume rare still lives, an emblem true
Os love pervading all,
The nations sprinkling o’er like Hermons dew,
Love rescues from the fall.
Wil HOUT WORDS.
Two little Italian children f.ccojnpani
ed a man with a harp, out of the city,
along the country roads, skirted by fields
and woods, and here and there a farm
house by the way.
He played and they sang at every door.
Their voices were sweet, and the words
in an unknown tongue. The old ladies
came out to the door, and held their
hands above their eyes to see what it all
meant; and from behind them peered
the flaxen heads of timid children.
Here they were given an apple, there
a generous slice of bread and butter, and
sometimes a cup of milk, or a handful of
plums. There was something beside
this they were obliged to get and take
out to the swat thy man by the roadside,
or else he frowned and scolded them —
that was money.
Not knowing how to make themselves
understood, the little children when they
had finished singing, slyly held out their
little brown hands or their aprons to get
anything that might be given them, and
take it to the dark man out at the gate,
who stood ready to receive it.
One day the dark harper went to sleep,
and the little boy and girl becoming tired
of waiting for him, went off to a cottage
under the hill, and beg’an to sing under
the window.
They sang as sweetly as the voices of
birds. Presently the blinds were opened
wide, and they saw by the window a
fair lady on a sick-bed regarding them.
Her eyes shone with a feverish light, and
the color of her cheeks was like a beauti
ful peach in the sun. She smiled as an
angel might, and asked them if their feet
were tired. They said a few words softly
in their own tongue.
She said, “ Are the green fields not bet
ter than your city ? ”
They snook their heads.
She asked them, “ Have you a moth
er?” .
they looked perplexed.
She said, “ What do you think while
you walk along the country roads?”
They thought she asked for another
song, so eager was the face; and they
sang at once a song full of sweetness and
pity ; so sweet the tears came into her
eyes. That was a language they had
learned. So they sang <ne sweeter still.
At this she kissed her hand and waved
it to them. Their beautiful faces kindled,
and, like a tlash, the timid hands waved
back a kiss.
She pointed upward to the sky, and
sent a kiss up thither.
At this they sank upon their knees,
and also pointed thither, as much ns ask
ing, “ Do you also know the good God ? ”
A lady leaning by the window said,
“ So tears and kisses belt the earth, and
make the whole w’Oi Id kin.” And the
sick one added, “ And God is over all. ”

Rbmovai. of Spots and Stains.— Ben
zine is undoul tedly by far the best and
cheapest substance for removing grease,
resin, stearine, naratline, tar, wagon
grease, etc., the purest kind to be applied
to the most delicate fabrics. Such spots
are very often complicated by the adhe
sion of dust or other matters, which,
even if insoluble in themselves, readily
fall off when the substance w th which
they are combined is removed. For spots
of oil it is best to add a litt>e alcoholic
ether. Silver spots and indelible ink can
be removed, even after a long time, by
means of cyanide of potassium or iodide
of potassium applied in a concentrated so
lution. Rust spots can be made to disap
pear by treatment with a weak solution
composed of one part nitric acid and
twentv-five of water, and afterwards rins
ing with water and ammonia; copper
spots by diluted sulphuric acid and am
monia, and subsequently with water and
ammonia. Spots of paint, when not sol
uble tn water and alcohol, can almost
always be removed by oil of turpentine.
For complete removal it is necessary to
wash the spot afterward in a good deal
oof turpentine. Fruit, wine, and similar
apots are to be treated by sulphuric acid,
but not always, by chlorine. The acid
may be applied in the form of gas or
dissolved in water; in the first case the
substance to be treated is to be stretched
at the proper height over burning sul
phur, and in the latter moistened with
the solution and then washed with pure
water. For fine white table cloths the
diluted acid is preferable.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1881
RAG CARPETS.
My new one—new two years ego—is
almost worn out now. And yet, though
this one has not done very good service
I think more of rag carpets than I used
to. It is not because they are especially
fashionable, for I have seen only one rag
carpet besides mine since I put it upon
the floor. That other one, in the sitting
room of a near neighbor, has since given
place to a cotton carpet of gay colors and
pattern, costing half a dollar a yard.
When I “run in” to see my neighbor’s,
I usually sit with my feet upon an In
grain or a Brussels carpet. It is very
pleasant,and I admire the neat carpet and
the flowering plants, and all the dainty
trifles on shelves and brackets. But when
I go home and find my “hit-or-miss” rag
carpet strewn with the little girls' dolly
work, and the little boys’
and the baby’s crumbs and playthings, I
am glad it is only a rag carpet, and that
I am not obliged to worry about the in
jury which would daily happen to a nice
carpet w here five children spend a good
part of their waking hours. Besides, I
think it is more “Eaitlakey” than the
very gay carpets of some of my neighbors!
Anyhow, it harmonizes better with my
very plain sitting room furniture than
food Ingrain or Brussels carpeting would.
like nice things, and if ever Fortune
gives them to me, I shall be thankful I
hope, as I am now for babies and for the
companionship of childhood, and for the
exj erience of a mother. I believe I will
make one more rag carpet at least. 1
think it will be “hit-or-miss,” instead of
striped, and I think I will put it down
as I did this,without sewing the breadths
but simply lapping them, one a few in
ches over the next, stretching each one
well, and tacking them very little except
at the ends. It is easy then to take up
and shake or beat the carpet and put it
down again, so that the worn places
may be less exposed. It is easy to wash
out the most soiled portions. 1 will have
a stronger warp next time, and think I
will have it in two colors, so that there
will be stripes running lengthwise of the
breadths. 1 will be particular in catting
and tearing the rags to have them so
that they will be even sized threads in
the filling, for I have never liked to see
the places in this old carpet where thick
woolen rags have sometimes joined on
to finer cotton strings, making the tex
ture of the carpet uneven, and causing it
to wear out more easily. The little girls
must sew them neatly, so as not to give
a bunchy look when woven. I think I
will have the rags divided into three
kinds for sewing—a basket of dark rags,
one of light, and one of gay colors. The
first may include the black and dark
browns and grays. The second will con
tain the light nondescript grays, browns
and old calico stuff; the third anything
at all bright. The one who sews can go
round and round with these three lots,
and so make a tolerably even “hit or
miss.” lam not swe that this will pay,
but I am sure that I know of no carpet
ing for 50 cents a yard that will do so
good service as a good rag carpet made
as above. — American
Handy Hints.
Cotton wool wet with sweet oil and lauda
num relieves the ear-ache very soon.
To obtain a glossy skin : Pour upon a pint
of bran sufficient boiling water to cover it.
Let it stand until cold and then bathe the
face with it, only patting the skin with a soft
towel to dry it.
You can get a bottle or a barrel of oil off of
any carpet or woolen stuff by applying dry
buckwheat plentifully and faithfully. Never
put water or liquid of any kind to such a
grease spot.
To take iron stains out of marble: An
equal quantity of fresh spirit of vitriol and
lemon juice being mixed in a bottle, shake
well, wet the spots and in a few minutes rub
with soft linen till they disappear.
If your tongue is coaled and you are suf
fering from biliousness, liver troubles, or any
difficulty of the kidneys, bladder, or urinary
organs, take Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure without delay. All troubles of the
kidneys or liver, however slight, are danger
ous, but this remedy is a certain protection
against them all.
Questicn.— How can we free curdomes
tic animals from fleas ?
AwMier.—Keep thtm well washed with
caiboliceosp and scatter “Insect” or
“ Persian powder ’’overthe animelsand
round on the carpets or mats where they
are most likely to lie down when in the
house. A small rubber belle ws usually
comes with all insect powder and is an
excellent thing to send the powder
through the hair or into the meshes of
the carpet. The powder is perfectly
harmless, but fleas, bugs and mosquitoes
do not fancy it. It is largely used in all
bird stores to keep the birds and cages
free from insects, and is very eflective.
Warts.—ls they give you no special
inconvenience, let them alone. But if it
is of essential importance to get rid of
them, purchase an ounce muriatic acid,
put it in a broad bottom vial, so that it
will not easily turn over; take a stick as
large as a knitting-needle, dip it into the
acid, and touch the top of the wart with
whatever adheres to the stick; then, with
the end of the stick, rub the acid into
the top of the wart, without allowing the
acid to touch the well skin. Do this
night and morning, a safe, painless, and
effectual cure is the result.
“Mother has recovered,” wrote an Illinois
girl to her Eastern relatives. “She took bit
ters for a long time but without any good.
So when she heard of the virtues of Kidney-
Wort she got a box, and it has completely
cured her, so that she can do as much work
now as she could before we moved West.
Since she has got well everyone about here
is taking it.” See adv.
Hydrophobia.— A Canada correspon
dent writes io the Chicago Tribune:
“ Take oyster shells, and burn then.' to
the consistency that they may be readily
pulverized in a mortar. Mix the powder
thus obtained with white of eggs, and
make into cakes. Fry them in lard.
The patient to eat them ad libitum, fast
ing six hours, for three alternate davs. ”
Another correspondent says: “take
white beans and boil them down to a
poultice, water and all, full strength, and
apply. It will draw out the poison and
cure the worst case of mad-dog bites. ”
Druggists say that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the best remdy for
female weakness that they ever heard of, for
it gives universal satisfaction. Send to Mrs.

Mrs. Caroline M. Cutts.
Died of consumption In Americus, Ga.. fif
teen minutes past six in the evening of June
24th, Mrs. Caroline M. Cutts, wife oi Claude 8.
Cutts, and daughter of the late David W. Mor
gan, ol LaGrange, Ga.
The familiar adage, “Those whom God
loves die early, ” finds an apt illustration in
the death ot this lovely and pious young
woman. Her sun went down belore its noon,
leaving many hearts in deep darkness and
sorrow.
Hers was one of the purest and most per
fect of human characters. Highly cultured
in heart, mind, and manners she was the
charm of every circle in which she moved,
and shed a happy and beuefleient Influence
everywhere around her. By a magnetism
peculiarly her own, she drew to liersell the
hearts oi all with whom she came in contact.
She seemed born to create love and happiness,
and people of every age and rank yielded the
homage exacted, not by an imperious spirit,
but by a warm and loving heart. Never,
perhaps, did the double injunction of love to
God and man meet a heartier response than
In her breast. Hence duty to her was not a
stern and rigorous task-master, but an object
oi reverent loyalty. In every sphere—home,
society, the Sunday-school, the church—she
served, with a Joyful spirit, her generation
and her God. blie was the solace and stay ol
a tender mother, the idol of a loud husband,
the pride oi a loving sister and devoted broth
ers. the light ot a bright circle of friends, and
an ornament to the church.
Her rich and cultivated voice,
“Sweeter than all Instruments,’’
was never so sweet as when hymning the
praise of her Redeemer. Her death created a
sad vacuum in the choir In the Americus
Baptist church, and when her voice was
hushed a flood of richest melody passed away
Irom earth. Her end was the fitting crown ol
so pure and beautilula life.
Al nearly the hour when the eye of day was
shut, and as gently, did her eyes close upon
the scenes of earth. After months of weary
languishing, rest came to her—s rest gladly
welcomed—the rest ol heaven. “ Almost to
the pearly gates, mamma,” she said on the
day beiore her death to the fond and
loving mother, who had kept so long, a
watch by her bedside. Then with a tendei
message to each member of the family to
meet her in heaven, she bade the sad watch
ers farewell. But she was not to pass away
then. On the next day, she remarked that
she thought she was in heaven, “she was so
happy.” Often during that day would she
turn her eyes to the clock and ask the time,
11 it was not twelve o’clock—as she thought
that this was the hour lor her spirit to take
its flight. Twoorthree tlmissbesald, “1 am
so tired waiting, 1 am so anxious to go to
heaven!” Her remains were taken to the
church where she had so often chanted hei
Redeemer’s praise, then borne to their last
resting place In Oak Grove cemetery by the
side ol her Inlant who had preceded her but
three weeks.
A pall of gloom settled over the church and
community when her death became known;
but upon no heart was a deeper shadow cast
than that of the young husband who guard
ed her frail life so tenderly, and watched
with such ceaseless devotion at her bedside
May God ccmlort him and the sadly bereaved
mother, sister and brotheis, is the prayer of
the writer wl o loved her with a father's ten
derness. A. J. Baitlb.
