KOOBB, , BY *. O. S. Angel mother, sow you’ve left ui, In tbit wide world of woe, For one where Joy and happiness Are yours forevermore. Oh, happy lot, Indeed, dear one, For yon, whose cares are o’er, But so hard for those you left To have yo here no more. Tea, precious one, I say ’tis hard To part with one so dear ; To know that nevermore on earth Tour gentle voice we’ll hear. No morn we’ll hear that footstep, Which oft in days before Resoanded in that dear old home Which you will cheer no more. Oh mother, darling, can it be, That though our hearts may yearn To have 'you in our earthly home, i Ton’ll never more return! Tes, sweet, submissive mother, To obsy the All-wise God, Ton’ve left your earthly dwelling To sleep beneath the sod. Beneath the dark and silent tomb Your precious body lies ; But in your bright and heavenly home, That spirit never dies. go farewell, angel mother— And if we’d meet thee more, We must forsake our sinful ways, And God’s mercy now implore. So now, my Heavenly Father, Please guide us into right, That we may meet in Heaven Our angel mother bright. OHLT. Only a baby, Hissed and caressed. Gently held to mother’s breast. Only a child, Toddling alone, Brightning now its happy home.’ Only a boy, Trudging to school, Governed now by steener rule. Only a youth, Living in dreams; Full of promise life now seems. Only a man, - Battling with life, Shared in now by loving wife. Only a father, Burdened with care, Silver threads in dark brown hair. Only a graybeard, Toddling again, Growing old and full of pain Only a mound, O’ergrown with grass, Dreams unrealized—rest at last* Swiss Girls and their Picturesque Costume. The women of Lucerne are amongst the best known to travelers in Switzer land, their lakes and mountains being fa vorite resorts for holiday seekers. Their personal characteristics are a florid com* complexion, brown eyes, with a dreamy expression, and a decided inclination to embonpoint. Excellent housewives and faithful helpmates to their hnsbands,they divide their lives between attendance at chapel and preparations for the never- failing inflax of tourists in and oat of season. Their bearing toward strangers is rather slow and shy; and the most con spicuous features of their attire are a peculiar shovel-hat of straw, a sleeveless velveteen corslet, with a silk bodice laced over it by means of silver chains and ro settes, an apron of many colors, and the never-wanting cross suspended from the neck. Of an altogether different stamp are the Zurich girls, with slender figures, Jhloe eyes, and fair hair, much livelier and more intelligent than their sisters in Lu cerne, but equally industrious, good-na tured and thrifty. Their costume conspicuous by a spotless linen chemise, Set off by a red or black bodice and silve r gilt ornaments. Visitors to the Bernese Oberland are sure to meet girls bailing from Brienz, well-shaped and graceful brunettes, in a costume closely resem bling that of Berne but for the straw bat which is turned down on both sides. Their melodious voices often attract the atten tion of the traveler on the mountain side, And at home he finds them busy at wood carving, which they practice with con' siderable taste and skill. The inhabi tants of Obwalden and Niedwalden are taken up entirely by pastoral pursuits, and with them pictureequeness of dress seems a minor consideration. The wo men generally wear dark colors, relieved by a white neckerohief and velvet bodice; well-shaped, commanding figures with oval faoes, and expressive eyes, are fre quently found amongst them. The Thur gau girl is of bright intellect, active and industrious, loves money, and is an ex cellent hand at driving a bargain. Facto ry labor frequently stunts thejiarmonious development of her figure, but seldom impairs the attractions of a bonny face, framed in with a wealth of chestnut hair, and lighted up with a saucy pair of eyes. The most striking features of her costume are a wheel-shaped cap, and a kind of nurse’s apron, which she wears over a many^plaited skirt and a puff-sleeved body. The women of Aargau wear the Bernese costume, with some slight modi fications. The pointed bodice, the linen chemise in front, the velvet collar, and the ornaments are the Bame; but the col ors of the drees are less gaudy, and the arms are covered with long cotton sleeves. This more sombre style of dress suits their staid and resolute demeanor, and gives them an air of well-to-do matrons, who delight in the duties of the house hold.—[London Queen. Turkish Women and tbe Fashions. The outbreak of tbe war with Russia bas not prevented the Turkish authorities »t Constantinople from issuing an edict with reference to women’s apparel. The bead of the Police at Constantinople sees 4( with regret that certain Turkish women unmindful of their dignity, walk about the streets and bazaars attired in a man ner not at all in keeping with the estab lished usages and regulations. Their fer- edges, instead of being a sombre uniform tint, are died with the most varied and fantastic colors. Their yashmaks, in stead of forming a veil of thick material, ■re made of light gauze. Their feet, in stead of being shod in the ancient and simple yellow slipper, are confined in ridiculous and uncomfortable boots of Frankish origin. All this must at once disappear.” Inconsequence, the Minis ter of Police announces that he has the Britan’s orders to put an end to a specta cle which is described as being “offensive in the eyes or respeotable people,” and he baa appointed a number qf mnffetiehs or pecret police to keep watch in the streets ■nd bazaars. Any Turkish lady found wearing either of the articles of attire will be followed by one of these agents, whose duty it will be to ob tain her name and addresa, whereupon the Minister of Police will notify her family that ahe la not to be allowed to go oat in future unless die is properly dressed. - In the event of her transgrdesing a second time she shall be oondemed to pay a fine. Simultaneously with this ordinance there appeared another in which the Minister of Police complaint hint the orders of the Prophet enjoining the faithful to say their prayers five times a day are habitu ally neglected. When the' muezzins call the true believers to prayer, many of them remain in the oourtyarfi of the mosque, playing at backgammon, cards, &o.It ia'neoeesary that such scandal,injuri ous to the interests of £pereligion,sh6aid oease, and we therefore call upon all true believers to enter the mosques when they hear the* no tee of the maezzin, and not to remain playing outside during the hour of prayer.” Why were the Pyramids Unlit. It is known that the Chaldeans from the earliest times pursued the study of al chemy in connection with astrology, not hoping to discover the phflophet’g stone by chemical investigations alone, but by carrying out snob investigations under special celestial influence. The hope of achieving this discovery, by which he would at once have had the means of ac quiring illimitable wealth, would of itself acoonnt for the fact that Cbeopa expend ed so much labor and material m the ereotion of the great Pyramid, seeing that, of neoesaity, aueoess in the searoh for the philosopher’s stone would be a main feature of his fortunes, and Would therefore be astrologioslly indicated in his nativity-pyramid, or perhaps 'even be secured by the following mystioal observ ances proper for ruling his planets. Bat, after all, it must be admitted that the strongest evidence in favor of the astro logical (and alehemical) theory of the pyramids is to be found in the dronm- stanoe that all other theories seem unten able. The pyramids were undoubtedly erected for some purpose which was re garded by their builders as most impor tant. This purpose certainly related to the personal fortunes of the kingly build era. It was worth an enormous outlay of money, labor, and material. This pur pose was snob, furthermore, that each king required to have hia own pyramid. It was in some way associated with tronomy, for the pyramids are bnilt with most accurate reference to oelestial pects. It also had its mathematical and mystical bearings, seeing that the pyra mids exhibit mathematical and symboli cal peculiarities not belonging to their essentially structural requirements. And lastly, the erection of the pyramids was in some way connected with the arrival of certain learned persons from Palestine and presumably of Chaldean origin, Moreover, no fact known respecting the pyramids or their builders is inconsistent with tbe astrological (and alchemical)the- ory. On the wholej then, if it oannot be regarded as demonstrated (in its general bearing, of course, for we oannot expect any theory about the pyramids to be es tablished in minute details), the astrolog ical theory may fairly be described as having a greater degree of probability in its favor than any hitherto advanced.— Belgravia. Remedy fob Chills end Fbvxb.—Three cents worth 6f sulphur in a pint of beat whiskey; shake well, and take a teaspoon ful night and morning for a week; then once a day. Care must be taken not to, take cold af ter using sulphur. To Cleanse a Kitchen Sink.—Every morning, after the dishes have been washed, give the sink a thorough scalding out; then sprinkle plenty of pulverized borax in and around tbe sink, under it, and tbe boiler; let the borax remain, as it is a disinfectant. It will also absorb the grease, drive off the croton bugs or ants, and will not in any way interfere with tbe cooking or dish-washing. Violet Ink fbok Carpets.—I have re moved violet ink from carpets and table cloths by washing immediately in oold water and soap. Hartshorn diluted will remove it if dried. Iodine oan also be removed from silk and other goods by hartshorn. To Deodorize Benzine.—If it be on garment, hang it in the sun and air for 24 hours, then gpriakle some good per fumery over it. If in the house on fur niture, for instance, open doors and win dows, let in plenty of air and sunshine, then use perfumery. To Keep Eggs.—Make a solution of bo rax water, a heaping tablespoonfnl of pul verized borax to a pint of boiling water; let it stand until the solution becomes warm, but not allow it to get so cool tha* tbe borax will cryBtalize; dip the eggs quickly, then keep in a cool place; the borax will crystalize around the egg, therefore keep out the air and preserve, the egg. To Wash Black Alpaca.—Rip the gar ment in all the seams, take each pieoe separately and wash in this way: Have a tub of quite warm water, throw In a ta blespoonful of powdered borax, place the alpaca on a washboard and scrub the soil ed places with a clean brush, using only a very little soap; rinse in one dear,warm water, then in one very bine water; press the water out by rolling up and squeez ing down on the board. Dry qriokly,and iron on the wrong side when almost dry. A Relish fob Breakfast.—Take one- fourth pound fresh cheese, cut it in thin slices, put it in a frying pan, turning over it a large cupful sweet milk; add one- fourth teaspoonful dry mustard, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a piece of butter the size of a butternut; stir the mixture all the time. Roll three Boston orackers very fine, and sprinkle in gradually, then torn at once into a warm dish, to be sent to the table immediately. Floor Mats.—Very nioe fine mats may be made by stretching common ooffee sacking on a frame just the size of mat required; (a good frame may be made of lath or split broom handle, nailed togeth er at the corners); into this draw, with coarse crotchet needle strips of any ma terial, delaine, cloth, prints, Ac.; out bias or straight, about 1 inch to l£ inches in width, and leave the goods standing in loops on the upper side; when finished take from frame, tarn edges of sacking on wrong side, and line with another pieoe of sacking. Would not this same sacking answer the question as to what should be a good foundation for made of raveled carpeting? CHILDREN’S COLUMN. ACROBTICI, Who mi the doubting.diidple? St. Jobs, 20.

BT LOUIE. “Let me go out of doors to play !” Said Lily Bell, one April day Of sunshine, checked with showers. “Please let me go! I’ve been stopped np, Just like my chickens in their coop, For hoars, and hoars, and hoars!” * I said, “My darling, yon forget That all the grass with rain is wet, And still the clouds are dark.” Bnt Lily said, “A little while ! No farther than the orchard stile ! I will come back, now yon shall see, Like Noah’s dove that he set free, When he was in the ark 1” What conld 1 do bnt let her go, My, darling, when she begged me so?, Scarcely I missed her fro.u the room Before again I heard her come, With footsteps very light. A smothered laugh hehiud my chair— I turned and saw my darling there, Her hair with raindrops bright, And all her face lit up with glee, At such a merry jest on me, ‘ For in her month, to “make belief, She had tbe little olive leaf! 1 took my darling to my breast, With feelings that she never guessed, ° With joy she did net mark. My Lily Bell, my Dove of Peace ! How often care and troubles cease, When, sweet and good she comes to me, Like “Noah’s dove that he set free, When' he was in the ark.” The Sting of tbe bee. The sting of the bee is a weapon only too well known. There are few of ns, probably, who have not, some time or the other, felt the effect of a sting from a bee or a wasp. The bee is not generally so easily exoited to sting as the wasp, un less it is much provoked, or has a deoided prejudice against some particular person, whioh is occasionally the case; bnt when it does sting, it is usually with the saori- fioeof its own life, as it generally leaves its weapon in the wound, with the little sao of prison attached to it. We need not wbnder that it is diffionlt to be with- drawn when we read the account of the nh»pA of the sting of the bee. The sting of this bee is not, as it might appear to the naked eye, a mere lance or bayonet. It is, in truth, something more formida ble, rather resembling those frightful en gines of destruction whioh the common oonsent of civilized nations has excluded from the.praotice of modern warfare. In a word, the little instrument known as the sting is found, when magnified, to be the sheath in which the true sting lies con cealed, although the whole enters the wound When an attack is made. The piercing apparatus itself is, however, dou ble, being composed of two long darts, whioh lire placed side by side so as to form a lance,and being furnished by suit able. muscles, they are forcibly protruded from the sheath when required for attack or defense. If we' employ a tolerably high microscopic ■power to examine the points of thpse darts, we shall find them to be barbed, each piercer being furnish ed on one side With eight teetb; and as they are so placed when in use that the smooth edges are in juxtaposition, you will perceive that they then constitute a single formidable barbed spear, similar to one of those primitive weapons of war fare employed by the savage inhabitants of various countries, that you will no doubt often have met in museums or col lections of ethnological cariosities. You will now perceive what a formible wea pon the sting must be when directed by the bee against an insect qf its own Bize; and,after examining its barbed points,you will easily understand, too, how it hap pens that when the little belligerent man ages to penetrate yonr own skin, it should be compelled to leave its sting be hind. ▲ Tradition or Bhakwpeare. It is difficult to deoide how great an ac tor Shakespeare may have been. There is a tradition that he played the part of a king with a peculiar grace and majesty. In confirmation of this a pretv ty story is told. It is stated that one day when the queen was in the theatre, Shakespeare mimicked royalty so well that Elizabeth, who was always ready to have a little fan with a clever man, even though he was a poor player, whispered to her ladies that she would try if she oorid not make this pretended monarch torn into an awkward fellow enough at a moment’s notioe. Accordingly, at a crit ical point in the soene, the queen, who was sitting just over the stage, whioh was then held to be the place of honor, let her handkerchief drop at the feet of Shakespeare, who was just then standing close below her. Her mischievous Maj esty expeted to see the actor start and redden and lose his cue. Instead of that he finished his speech with all his usual power, and without seeming to no tice the handkerchief. Then, stooping and picking it np, he gave it back^to the queen with a bow, in whioh there was an indescribable mixture of dignify and homage, saying, as he did so, these words to his train of stage courtiers: “Bnt am wo gat to horse and ride away, Lot at pick op oar slater’* handkerchief.” —[Argoty.
