■Hi COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRERt SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 16, 1877, w 0 I f USES. BY FATHKK RYAN. Weary hearts! weary hearts! by the cares of life oppressed. Ye are wandering in the shadows—ye are sighing for a rest. . .. There is darkness in the heavens, and the earth is bleak below, And the Joys we drink to-day may to-mor row tarn to woe. Weary hearts! God Is rest. Lonely hearts! lonely hearts! this is but a land of grief, , , Ye are pining for repose—ye are longing for relief. , . , What the world hath never given—kneel and ask of God above, And yonr grief shall turn to gladness—lfyou lean upon His love, Lonely hearts! God is love. Restless hearts! restless hearts! ye are toll ing night and day. And the flowers of life all withered, leave but thorns along your way, Ye are waiting, ye are waiting till your toll ing all shall cease. And your ever restless beating is a sad—sad prayer for peace, Restless hearts! God is peace. Breaking hearts! broken hearts! ye are des olate and lone.' And low voices from the Past, o’er your S resent ruins moan! e sweetest .of your pleasures there was bitterest alloy— And the starless night had followed on the sunset of your joy, Broken hearts! God is joy. Homelss hearts! homeless hearts! through the dreary, dreary years. Ye are lonely, lonely wand’rers, and your way is wet with tears; In bright or blighted places, wheresoever you mav roam, Ye look away from carthland, and ye mur mur where is home? Homeless hearts! God is home! The woodsarc still as gardens full of flowers; The leaves bum brightly in the smoky haze— Crimson and scarlet, gold and russet brown. How rich the tints of these autumnal days. The air seems scented with the purpling grape; It stirs the blood like to the ripened wine; It tells us of the finished harvest time— The finished hour is the real hour divine. So may our lives have Indian summer tides; Of mellow suns; bright leaves, and golden grain, Where death itsclf’s more beautiful than life, And through the haze is seen the eternal grain. HITMAH WOES. CHII.DHOOD’8 GRIEF. I never browned a slice of toast, it mattered not how hard I tried, But down it tumbled in the dust. And always on the buttered slue. YOUTH’S LAMENT. •Twas ever thus, from childhood’s time Ive seen my fondest hopes decay; I ne’er sent in a little rhyme, But what it was returned next day. MANHOOD’S WOES. I never hung up skates to sell, Trusting to nature’s fickle law. But when I’d advertise them well. And puffed them, It was sure to thaw. The Woman’s Hotel. This hotel, devised and built by the late Mr. A. T. Stewart,is to beopened on the first of the coming year. If properly conducted, this hotel may become’ the most famous in the coun try, and it will be an institution de serving of the study of philanthro pists throughout the world. If the conception of the plan was Mr. Stew art’s, it affords new proof that he was a man of ability and benevolence, rtar The Women’s Hotel has been built ' i .nd furnished at a cost of two mil lions of dollars. This large sum of 1 money is the gift of the millionaire 1 merchant, but ne took pains that it should hot be so bestowal as to gen erate dependence on elemosynary aid epe: thii tion of accepting alms, is a very dif ficult matter. Therefore, Mr. Stew art showed sense when he planned this institution, which is to De cori ducted on business principles, every woman.taking advantage of ite privi leges, paying for what she gets and saving her set-respect. It is a poor way of helping people, to exact of them a return of gratitude which \ involves a confession of their inferi- . oritv to you. The Women’s Hotel contains over , five hundred rooms, all of Which look Jc _put on the street, and all of them are fu»**A,v..'l com/erfably and neatly. A firegrate cook will nave charge of the kitchen, and thus the women who put up at this hotel will profit by what more conduces to good health than doctors’ prescriptions—and that is, the proper preparation of food. This kitchen, we are told, is equal to the cooking of food in a scientific style for five thousand people, and the hotel itself has a capacity for lodging one thousand persons. A feature of the plan is the furnish ing of meals, or parts of meals, at cost, to those who may come for them. Girls who are not able to se cure quarters in the Women’s Hotel . will have the opportunity of profiting by this advantage. It is an itnpor- tant matter. The great masa of working women with us alre improp erly fed. They hurry through a breakfast, cat a luncheon of pickles and pies, and take such dinners as they get. If they learn through the bills of fare offered by the Women’s hotel that neither men nor women can efficiently work without substantial and well cooked food, they will be wiser and better off than they have been. A Bit 'of Harriett Experience. I married my wife about thirty-five .years ago. The ceremony was per formed about seven o’clock in the morning. Before retiring that even ing we had a good talk with each other, and the result has sweetened our entire lives. We agreed that' each should always be watchful and careful never, by word or act, to. hurt the feelings of ihe other. We were both young, hot tempered, both posi tive in our likes and dislike*, and both somewhat exacting and Inflexi ble—just the material for a life of con jugal warfare. Well, for a few years we found it hard work to always live by our agreement. Occasionally (not often) a word or look would sup off \ the tongue or face before it could be " caught or suppressed; but we never flowed “the sun to go down upon four wrath.” Before retiring at night y on such occasions, there was always V confession and forgiveness, and the / culprit would become more careful in future. Our tempers and dispositions be came gradually more congenial, so that after a few years we came jto be one in reality, as the marital ceremo ny had pronounced us nominally. In thinking back we find that for more than twenty years our little agreement has been unbroken, and there been no occasion for con- fession or foigiveness. In business A Raceilif Caart. During the progress of the exami nation of Minkhouse and Leary, for an outrage, some person or persons not having a due sense of the awful majesty of the law or the dignity of the court, scattered a villainous mix ture of snuff, Cayenne pepper, Baber- ry bark and most probably a slight sprinkling of cownage about the room. It happened at the time that the audience was extremely large, and of that mixed description that generally congregate about the pur lieus of a court of justice. The insin uating dust soon began to 'take effect, a concert of sneezing mixed with •hing, first among the outsiders, ie it Impossible to understand one word from either judge, lawyer, wit ness or prisoner. “Silence!” shouted the marshal. 1 ‘Si-an-ch-chi-chee-lence. ’ ’ sneezed the deputy. By this time the epidemic had ex tended 1# within the bar, and there was as much coughing and sneezing as ever was heard within the House of Representatives during d prosy speech of an unpopular orator. “Open the ugn-win-e °h. tinig at’omey “I suggest an-ehee-te that they be Chiz turned out,” gasped another law yer. The judge, who by this time had coughed and sneezed until his face was as red as the comb of a turkey cock, was struck by the idea, and a posse of officers being called from be low, cleared the room of the unhappy multitude, who, upon their egress in to the street, gave such a connected diabolical sneeze that a couple of horses that were hitched outside be came scared, and breaking their bri dles, scampered frantically away.

We have rais ed a family of children, and now have our grandchildren about us; and we are simple enough to believe that we have better children, and better grandchildren because of our little agreement.

In three years two million four hun dred tliousaud small ltottles of thin medicine were distributed free of charge bv Druggists iu this country to those afflicted with Consumption, Asth ma. Croup, severe Coughs, Pheumonia and other diseases of the Throat and Longa, giving the American people un deniable proof that German Syrup will eare them. The result has been > that Druggist* in every town and village in the United States are recommending it. to their customers. Goto yoor Drug gist, and aak what they know about it Sample Bottles 10 cents. Regular size /Three doses will >- - mys * Shaving Soap.—The Druggists Circular gives the following formula for a shaving soap: Take white soap, four ounces; spermaceti, one-half ounce; olive oil, one-half ounce; melt them together and stir until nearly cold; scent with such oils as may be agreeable. Nitrate of Silver Stains. — These are removed at once by cyanide of potash. Wet the spot with clean water, and place a few grains of the drug (which, is deadly poison taken internally) upon the spot. It will dissolve like sugar aifd the spot will disappear. It does not injure the To Glean Marble.—Take two [iarts common soda, one part pulver ized pumice-stone, one part finely jowdered chalk; sift the mixture ihrough a fine sieve and then mix with water; rub it thoroughly over the surface of the marble, and the stains will be removed; then wash the marble over with soap and water. Paste for Cleaning Metals.— One part of oxalic acid and six of rot ton stone; mix with equal parts of whale-oil and spirits of turpentine to a paste. A Paste for Family Use.—The Druggists' Circular gives the follow ing receipt for making a paste similar to that used on postage stamps and gummed labels: Dextrine, two ounces; acetic acid, 4 drachms ; alco hol, 4 drachms; water, two and a haif ounces. Mix the dextrine, acetic acid, and water, stirring until thor oughly mixed; then add alcohol. For attaching labels to tin, fitst rub the surface with a mixture of muriatic acid and alcohol; then apply the label with a very thin coating of the paste, and it will adhere almost as well as'oh glass. To Press Ferns.—Gather before the sporangia breaks open and care fully place between the leaves of a large book, leaving several thicknes ses of paper between each frond; put the book under heavy pressure and in a moderately warm place. The fems should be changed at least every other day; if fertile fronds of the Osmunda are pressed, the change should be made much oftener. Loose but Sound Teeth.—Turk ish myrrh diluted in water—at first a teaspoonful to a tumbler, and gradu ally strengthened—and used as a wash four or-five times a day, will gene rally give relief. There are only two causes for the above trouble, vix.: calomel and soda, and the use of both must be stopped entirly. To Prevent Blisters.—A plaster composed of ground mustard, mixed with white of an egg in place of water will prevent a blister upon the surface of the skin. Cure for Hoarseness.—Spike nard root, slieed and bruised, and then steeped in a teapot containing equal parts of water and spirits, and the vapor inhaled, when sufficiently cooled, will relieve the soreness and hoarseness of the throat and lungs, when arising from a cough or cold. Asthma.—The following prescrip tion is given by Hon. E. B. French, of the Treasury Department: Iodide of potassium, two drachms; tincture of lobelia, naif an ounce; syrup of senega, two ounces; camphorated tincture of opium, half an ounce ; water sufficient to make four ounces. A teaspoonful every half an hour until relieved. The above cured the above named gentleman, and has been used successfully in my own family. Cough Syrup.—One ounee of thor ough wort, one ounce of flaxseed; sim mer together in one quart of water until the strength is entirely extract ed ; strain carefully; add one pint of beat molasses and half pound loaf sugar; simmer them thoroughly to gether, and when cold bottle tight. A few doses of one teaspoonful at a time will alleviate the most distress ing cough of the lungs, subdues any tendency to consumption, breaks up entirely the whooping cough, asthma, bronchitis, and all affections of the lungs and throat. It is simple, safe and effective. Sick-room Receipts.—Wet two heaping teaspoonfuls of the best Ber muda arrwroot with a little water and rub it into a paste. Have a porcelain ,n on the fire containing one eupful •iling hot water, add two teaspoon- fuls white sugar; when boiling add the Wet arrowroot, stir it in slowly; keep boiling and stirring until clear, then add one teaspoonful lemon juice. Have a cup ready, wet with cold water, and pour the arrowroot in to form. Eat cold, with powdered sugar and cream. If wine is preferred omit the lemon juice and add instead one'tablespoonful of the best brandy or three of wine. For arrowroot blanc mange use one cupful boiling milk instead of water and two desertspoonfuls of arrowroot, flavor with vanilla; eat with sweet ened cream flavored with rosewater. Sago may be used instead of arrow- root, but must be soaked an hour in cold water, then gradually wanned by placing the cup containing it iu hot watea. It needs a little more boiling than the arrowroot. .For arrowroot custard use two cup fuls of boiling milk, mix the d^t arrowroot with it, stir about three minutes, remove it from the fire, and whip in two tablespoonfuIs of white sugar that has first been well beaten up with one egg; boil again two min utes, flavor with vanilla, pour into molds.

Children’^ Feet.—Life-long" dis comfort and sudden death often come to children through the inattention or carelessness of the mothers on nurses. A child should .never be al lowed to go to sleep with cold feet. The thing to be last attended to is to see that the feet are dry and warm. Neglect of this has often resulted in dangerous attacks of croup, diphthe ria, or fatal sore throat. Always on coming home from school, on enter ing the house from a visit or errand on rainy, muddy, or damp weather, the child should remove its shoes, and the mother should herself. ascer tain whether the stockings are in the least damp. If they are, they should be taken off, the feet held before the fire or rubbed with the hands till per fectly dry, and another pair stockings and another pair of shoes put on. The reserve shoes and stoekings should be kept ready for use on a minute’s no tice. What toTcach CUMrra. Teach them a true lady may be found in calico quite as frequently as in velvet.

Have superstitious beliefs left the more intelligent ranks of society? On the suject of dreams itself is there not a sneaking credulity which goes far to prove to the contrary’ ? True, any one of us is quite able to account in a natural way for the character of his or her dreams. Nevertheless, the lady who chides her children for re peating the interpretation which the housemaid has put upon their sleep ing vagaries, and sagely instructs them on the subject of imperfect di gestion and its effects upon the brain during sleep, is not ashamed to im part to her husband any morning the particulars of her own shocking dreams,or to piously express the hope that something untoward is not about to happen. Her better-half, pooh- oohs the matter doubtless as becomes is su nonet uneasiness when he remembers that he himself had a vision of losing a tooth or seeing a house on fire. Hav ing courageously quizzed,his wife at the breakfast table on the folly of her augury and bade her and the children good-bye for the day, he inwardly de plores the unlucky omen of having to turn back for his forgptten umbrel la or pocketbook! How many, curi ous Ittit innocent little customs, too, are still current, and with the sanc tion of the wisest. An old slipper is still cast after a bride; it is consid ered necessary to christen a new shijp with a bottle of wine: a fine day is still royal weather, and so on. These and many others most of us would iudeed be sorry to see extinct. They are not only harmless, but in their very departure from strait-laced com mon-sense, give an agreeable and per haps even healthful relief to the pro- siness.of ordinary life. To sacrifice them to the strict letter of reason, would be to sacrifice much of the sen timent of life, to. banish imagery from poetry,to take the perfume from the rose, to guide into a Dutch canal the current of human affections, which, if left free, will gush and ed dy, prattle and murmur by rock and meadow, carrying music and health throughout its living course,—[ Cham bers's Journal, R.

The result of that labor has been the pro- ductioq_of Turns lives riua Their popularity has becoiae ap extend ed and the demand so great as to induce unscrupulous parties to counterfeit them, thereby robbing, me of the re ward, and the afflicted of their Virtues. TO CAUTION TB* PUIUC. and protect them for vilfe impositions, I have adopted a new label, which bears my trade-mark and notice of its entry iifthe Office of the Librarian of Con gress, also my signature, thus: 1 —* > * TO COUNTERFEIT THIS IS FORGERY.“At Before purchasing, examine the label closely. THE GENUINE TUTUS PILLS exert apeculiar influence on the sys tem. Their action is prompt and their good effects are felt in a few hours. A quarter of a century of study of the Liver has demonstrated that it exerts a greater iftflutfuee over the system than any other organ of the body, and when diseased, the entire organism is deranged. It is specially for the heal ing of this vital organ that I have spent so many years of toil, and having found the remedy, which has proved the greatest boon ever furnished the afflict ed,shall they be deprived of its benefits, and a vile imitation imposed upon them? Let the honest people of America aee to it that they are not defrauded. Scruti nize the label closely, see that it beam all the above mentioned, and buy the medicine only from respectable dealers.
