The usual dress when engaged in this occupation should In of s one material that will bear sponging; then, a spi and a bottle of diluted amin should be kept near at hand. Of aprons tImre should bo an unfail ing supply, of different si/.C3 oud degrees. Do not fail to have least two of the 8 .me length your dress, and of two ft breadths. A whito one of tli style, trimmed nil around with scut let machine embroidery, is actually becoming to most women and will savo the cost many time? over hv preserving the dress be neath.

It says the first Indian reached the itland on & cake ot ice, and fouud there a great giant called Moshup, who had five children. He caught whales and roasted them on fires made of whole trees, which he plocked up by the roots. He threw great stones in the sea, on which he might walk, and these constitute what is now called tbe D* vll’s Bridge. At one time an offering of all the tobacco on the island was made to him, and after smoking It, he kuocked tbs ashes out of bis pipe and thus formed Nantucket. A Varied Performance. Many wonder bow Parker’s Gin ger Tonic can perform such yaried cures, thinking it essence of ginger, when in fact it i* made from many valuable medicines which ast ben eficially on every diseased organ. Satisfaction forTen* In oor family of tun for over two years Parker's Ginger Tonic baa cored headache, malaria and other complaints so satisfactorily that we are in excellent health and no expense for doctors or other medicines.—Chronicle, The Voice of the Floods. Dr. Talmagc Expounds the Lesson of tho Western Floods. In the Brooklyn Tabernacle Monday, says lb© New York Her aid of the 18th inst., will bo receiv ed contributions of food and gar- men ta for the sufferers by tbe great floods in the West. The whole congregation are bestirring them selves in aid of tho afflicted dis tricts under the inspiration ot Dr. Till mage. His sermon Sunday was devoted to the calamity and tbe moral lesson to be derived from it. Hit text was from Psalms, xciii.—‘‘The floods have lifted up their voice.” “The rivers of America,” said Dr. Talmage, “are its pride. Far back in tho ages the Alleghany andjtboMonongahels were married. Their pno child was the Ohio, which soon outgrew its parentage. Ordi narily one of the gcutlest of rivers, it pronounces it* silent benediction upon the whole continent. But some demon of devastation now, as last year, seems to have possess ed it, With hands beguiled and wiathful it clutches fur the farms ami vineyards till the whole land hears the wailing and tho shriek. 4 Hie floods have lifted up their voice.’ “My first lesson is tho merciless-* ness of natural forces and the dead failure of natural religion. Men in our times say nature is enough. 1 hero is no need of divine revola- tion. But what of tbe Ohio floods? No mercy in them. ?They whelm a human life with no worse comm is (■ration than they float a log of a saw mill. Tho sun will shine ns brightly nlong tho Ohio on tho graves of this terrible calamity ns if there had been no heartbreak along ull tho silent waters. Na ture can smite and can prostrut*’ but it cannot pity. If all ihoObi sufferers had kneeled in tho mud and prayed their only answer would have been continued plash of rain and continued gurgle of waters Tho world wants more than a re ligion of flowers. Ouo religion bettor riche s than the flood* can capture—the old reli- blh works as well to-day along the btuks of the Ohio a* it evur wo-keJ along the Jordan. Natur al religion is a good foundation for aled religion, but what a poor shelter is a mere foundation when the floods come. I would not give a five cent nickel for alt tho coma fort of all the religions that w* re •ver hatched out of ilia human kuM. We want a religion that cm calmly ride a midnight torn** pest. Another lesson of the Ohio overflow is that our advantages may turn cut to bu our disaster. Lands are more vuluable near the rivers. So (hero nra great rivers of prosperity on which incu build. When they overflow their useful ibanocls thoy wbelnr the land with destiUCtion. Half of tho United States to-day is inundated with lonopolistic freshets. When these vast rivers of worldly gaios break embankmont# the nation iufieri. There are men gathering up all iaUries of wealth and are asking forj more. After a while they begin to swell, and they gulp down farms by foreclosure and creditors who cannot pav, and they •allow tho result of a Wall street panic or a corner in wheat, and they swallow and a wallow and swallow, and swell and swell and ejl. They are great rivers of social, moral and financial dam nation rolling through the land. Let us keep in our proper channels, aud not tarn our capacity to help carry tbe world’s burdens into de structive inundation. Auotber lesson of the floods is that great calamities are in our time no sign of divine displeasure There are no more moral people on earth than many of those put out of fortune or life by this Ohioan submergence. The churches weut under as well as the warehouses. Tbere are hundreds of placet in viting the divine judgments which were never washed of inexorable wave. If Brooklyn and New York bad been punish*! tor all their sics tbe Hudson and the East river would now stand higher than*\he piers of tbe bridge and blnefisb would be bolding carnival in oor dining balls and pantries, “Another lesson of this destruc tion it that repetitious misfortune is hard to bear. The floods last year, and now this year! A du< plicati of wretchedness l Tbere is no better or safer place to live than on the banks of tbe Ohio, Let us, byoutrushiog charities from all part* oftbe land, make it possible tor these homeless people to stay there. You say *1 helped them last year and I cannot always be helping them.* So God feel yon last year and the year before that But it He should drop you next year because He help 3d you this your earthly residence would be very much abbreviated. Besides that, it would be well to get a divine insurance for ourselves.— That insurance, backed up by all the resources of tbe universe, will never fail to meet its obligation.” So Somsthing. A certain gentleman who had lost his property, instead of giving up in despnir, went out into the street and determined to do the first thing he could find. It chanc ed to he shoveling coal into n cel iar. He performed his task promptly and faithfully, took Iiis pay and walked on. In a short time ho was on his feet again, finan cially, nsf ho deserved to be, and ns the pcoplo saw he was worthy of being. The following nolde sentiment, credited to a monk, who lived just before the tiino of Luther: “I assure you, in? hearers, if I could not preach I should be proud to make shoes, and if 1 mado shoes, if I could help it, no ono should uuke a better pair than I.” How ranch that lesson is needed to-day! Look at that young man whose frtthercan scarcely provide food for his table. Surely, tho boy ought to be doing something to tuko the burden, at least of his •wn support, from his father 1 boulders, yet ho will tell you that ho is too proud to work: What false pride is it that permits ono be a mere noiienity, a dependent on tho labors of another. A nun who possesses tho true pride of nobility aud manhood not ashann d to turn his honest work, but ho is a*li lined to bo pensioner on the bounties of others.

The world heroes aro uot chosen from tho world’s do-nothiugt. Tho Star of Bothlehea. Mr. Frank Giihort, in his new “World Ili*toiioal and Actual,' 1 quotes the Darned Professor Goun mier as follows: Iu 1887 the ‘‘Star of Bethlehem,” will bo once more seen in “Cleopatra’s Chair,” and will be accompanied by a total eclipse of tho sun and moon. Tbe star only makes its appearance every 316 years. It # will appear and illuminate tho heavens, and exceed in brilliancy even Jupiter wheu in opposition to tbo sun, agd therefore nearer to the sun and brightest. The maryolotif bril liancy of the “Star of 11 Bethlehem” in 1887 will surpass any of its previous visitations. It will be seen even by noonday, shining with a quick flashing light the entire year, aft-r which it will gradually decrease in brightness and finally disappear, and not return to our heavens until 220*2, or 316 years after 1887. Tho star first attract ed tho attention of modern astron omers in the year 1576. It was then called a new alar. It was no new star, however, for this waa the star which shone ao brightly 4 B. C., and waa the alar that illumi nated the heavens at tho nativity of Christ. You-g chirks that ore subject to weakness in the legs should receive a small allowanco of fine bone- meal in the food.

There is a bright looking fellow perambulating the streets of New York with a huge sack on bii shoul der who styles himself the “ om nibus buyer.” By this term, says a correspondent, he means that be deals in everything. He buys old' hats, old bonnets, old clothes, old books ; also canes, umbrellas, old gloves, wigs, aud in fnot Almost every old thing about a house.— The value of these things is very small and yet when people find that they can get something for them, how rapidly they rave them for the buyer. The latter knows just what can be done with each article. He sorts his stock in his garrot and disposes of them at a nice profit, and if he can clear ten dollars a week he is doing well.— Another class of petty dealers which one finds among tho poor are tho “ time peddlars,” as they are called. They visit poor fami lies and sell second-hand dresses, second-hand shoes and similar ar ticles, taking pay. in installments, and ns they afford good bargains, they havo a good run of busiuess. Those dresses aro bought at pawn brokers' sales at a mere song, and hence pay a largo profit. Tbe timo pcddlar ” expects to lose occasionally, but ho cliurges an ex tra rate, which enables him to meet tbe loss. There nro hundreds of poor women who aro clothed de cently in this manner at a very small expense. There is a man here who deals in notbing but socondeband harness. Ho calls on the livery stables and buys any thing that may bo offered cheap.— He repairs and cleans these arti cles, which be sells lo«tho wagon peddlers and others wbo use sec ond-hand work. Another man makes a business of starting toy venders on the sidewalk. Any one who passes up Broadway will notice tho number of men selliug amus ing toys. These fellows are start ed by a man wbo makes purchases and then divides them up. If ho has a dozen salesmen aud makes a quarter of a dollar a day on each ho is doing a good business, Tho small amount of capital required is abo a noticeable featuro. Many of these streot venders have from 81 lo $3 invested, and jet they contrive to got a living out of it. Another curious “ lay” is found in the bird fortune-tellers, who do better than most of tbe street traf fickers, since they work on curiosi ty which is always a powerful clo moat The pretty little fortune tellers aro certainly interesting and you only pay a nickel for thoir ser vice. The only sooret of their pen ctration is fouud in tho fact that they are kept hungry at least dur< lug business hours and a few seeds being placed hi each envelop thoy are always ready to pick one out for their patrons. The seeds are cunningly dropped when the en velop is opened and the birds thus get their reward. If you should follow up tbe owners of these cana ries you would find them living well on the profits, since sometimes they take in five dollars per day, Another business of small figures but largo amounts is tho five ceut eating house, wbero every dish is limited to a nickel, and where hun dreds are fed in a decent manner. The five cont lodging bouse is another institution wh’ch New York finds indispensable. Tho proprietor has a basement or a loft which he hires for four dollars per week. He will sleep fifty to soven ty-five every night, and will clear 810 per week on a capital of $26, Tbe bedding consists of straw pal lets laid on a wooden platform, and tbe covering is carpets and old bed clothes from th.o auction. Those who cannot pay for such a lodging go to the station house, which, dur ing the eold weather, is always foil. This is commonly termed “taking the plank,” since nothing Is given but tbe privilege of full length on the floor. The interior of a station- bouse affords a sad spectacle, which becomes still worse as one sees these wrecks of humanity turned out in the morning to take the chances of another cold day. nA student ot histofy waute to know why it took Rome threw hun dred years to die. We are not prepared to say, bot presume Rome didn’t take her mediumo'ao cording to directions. A Female Freemason. The Hon. Eiizabe'h St. Leger was the only female ever initiated into the ancient mystery of free masonry. How she obtained this honor we shall lay before our read era. Lord Doneraile, Miss St. Leg er’s father, a very zealous mason, held q warrant, and occasionally opened lodge at Doneraile House, his sous and some intimate friends assiting, and it is said that never were the masonic duties more rigid ly performed than by them. Pre vious to tbe initiation of a gentle man to the first step of masonry, Miss St. Leger, who wai a young girl, happened to be in an apart ment adjoining the room generally used as a ledge room. This room at the time was undergoing some alteration. Amongst other things tbo wall was considerably reduced in one part. Tbe young lady hav ing heard tbe voices ot the free masons, and prompted by the curi osity natural to all to see this mys terv, so long-and so secretly locked up from public view, she bad tbe courage to pick a brick from tbe wall with her scissors and witness* ed tbo ceremony through the. two first steps. Curiosity sal isfied, fear at once took possession of her mind. There was no mode of escape ex cept thought the very room where the concluding part of the second step was still beiug solemnized, and that being al the far end, and the room a very large one, she had ic6olution enough to attempt her $o.«capo that way, and vith light, but trembling step, glide! aiong unobserved, laid her hand the handle of the door and gent ly opened it, before her stood, to her dismay, a grim and surley tyier with his long sword unsheathed. A shriek that pierced through tbe apartment alarmed the members <-f lodge, who, all rushing up to the door, and finding that Miss St. Leger had been in tbe room during the ceremony, in the first parox ysm of their rnge, her death was resolved on, but from the moving upplivation of her younger brother her life was saved on condition of her going through the whole of the solemn ccromony she had unlaw?* fully witnessed. This she consent ed to, and tboy conducted the beautiful and torrifiod young la dy through those trials which are sometimes more than enough for muscuHne resolution, little thinking tb9y were taking into the boso.ii of thvir craft a member that would afterwarda reflect a lustre on tho annals of masonry. The lady was cousin to General Antho ny St. Leger, governor of St. Lucia, wko'iiistitutcd tbe interesting race and tbe celebrated Doncaster St. Leger Stake*. Miss St. Loger married Riebaid Aidwortb, Esq, of Newmarket Whenever a bene fit was givon at tbe tboatree in Dublin or Cork for the Maionio Female Orphan* Asylum, she walked at tbe bead of tho Irosma* sons with her apron and other in sigma of freemasonry, and sat in frontN^w of tho stage bo£ Tbe house was always crowded on thoso occasions. Her portrait is in tho lodge room of almost every lodge in Ireland. |HW Jeff Davis in lrcns. “ VYfls Jiff Davis ever manacled?” asks “a constant reader” of tbe “Reminiscences.”- He was, i at Fortress Monroe, on the grotind that he had refused to eat some of the food prepared for hlm^ and shied a tin plato at the bead of the soldier who served him. This was “revolt,” strictly speaking, but there was nothing to fear from the angry nets of an old man who was imprisoned in the aparimmt of t casemate, with a guard in the out< er apartment and a sentinel posted on the outside, at tbe port hold and at the door. Out orders had undoubtedly been tent by Becre tary Stanton to put the fallen chief nf tbe Confederacy in irons if he gave any provocation, and he gave it. The secret of the universal sue* cess of Brown’s - Iron Bitters is owing to tbe faek that it Is the very best Iron preparation made. By a thorough and rapid assimihu tiou with tho blood it reaches every part of tho body; giving health, strength and endurance to every portion. Tbui beginning at tbe foundation it builds op and restores lost health. It does not contain whiskey or alcohol. It will not blaeken tbs teeth. It does not oonstipate or cause head ache. It will core dyspepsia, in digestion, heartburn, sleeplessness, dizziness nervous debility, weak nets, etc. A youngster, while wanning his hands at the fire, was remonstrated with by bis father, wbo said, “Go airily from the fire, tho weather is not cold.” “I Ain’t beating the weather; I’m warming my bands,” tbe little fellow demurely replied. Mis. Elisa Brennanf Iraaboel Ga. , say: “I used Brown’* Iron Bitters with best result* for ex treme nervousness, ileeplesanee* and bad blood.” Tbe sun Into hot in Africa that the ekio on the held bead of a negro has to be cot and reset like awsgontir*. Captain Titlow, who was espec ially charged with the custody of Mr. Davis and wbo is authority for this statement—-was accord ingly ordered by tbo commandant of the fort to place his prisoner in irons. Sutnuiouinga blacksmith, who was iu the habit of riveting irons on soldiers sentenced by court martial to wear them, the Captain went to tho case-raata, ac companied by the bfacksmith car rying the fottsrs and his tools. They fouud Mr. Davis . Boated ou his cot, there being no other fur- nituro besides but a stool and a few articles of tinware. When be glanced at tho blacksmith and coiunrchendi-d the situation, be ex claimed: “My God is this iodig" nity to he placed- on mo? Not while I have life?” At .first be pleaded for an opprrtunity to in* quire of Secretary Stanton. Then bis excitement rose to fury as he waiked tho coll, venting itself in almost incoherent raging*. The Captaiu at length calmly remind ed him that, as a soldier, ho must be aware that, however disagree able the duty assigned, it must be performed, and that, as in duty bound, he should perform it.— “None but a dog would obey such orders,” replied Mr, Davis, em pties zing his determination never to be manacled alive, by grasping tho stool aud aiming a vicious blow. The sentries rubbed for ward to disarm him but were or dered back in their places. Cap tain Titlow explained that such demonstrations of self-defense were foolish aud. useless, and that It would be much better for Mr. Davis to submit to the inevitable necessity. But while receiving this advice, he took the <>ppoituni< ty of gmtping tbe musket of one of the sentries, and, in tho furious endeavor to wrest it from him, quite a scuffle ensued. That ended, the Captain took the precaution of clapping bis bands on his sword bill, as he per* ceived Mr. Davis* cjo was upon it, and at onco ordered tbe com poral of tho guard to send . into tbe case-mate four, of hit strongest men r without side-arms, as bo feared jhey might get .into the wrong possession and cause dam< age. They were ordered fo take the prisoner as gently as possible, and using no unnecessary torce, to lay him down. It proved about •• much as four men could do, tb* writhing* and upheaving* of the furiated man developingthe strength of g ratniao, until it cul minated in sheer exhaustion.— When the unhappy task was done, Mr. Davis, after lying still awhile, raised himself and sat on tho side of the bed. As bis feet touched the floor and the chain clanked, be waa utterly overcome—the tears burst out fu fa flood. When ho became calm, be apologis'd hi ,a manly wqy to tbo Captain for tbo need* leae trouble be had caused him and tboy afterward maintained mutual relations of personal esteem and friendliness. The indignity bad, however such au effect upon Mr. Davis, that the physician call ed in instated on the removal ot irons. Permission to do this was relactantly obtained from Wash ington, and the same toan who had put on the fetters took them off. This act did much to restore the deposed leader of 'the rebellion to What Surprises the Traveler in Florida; To‘find; (notwithstanding all you have read concerning Florida * winters,) the January sun so warm at raiddajr. r « 1 : J ; To find, (in viow bf dll yoti have read,) so few wild or cultivated blossoms thriving in tbe sun’s rays, and so little fragrance in them;'' That the duration of twilight is so brief.
