' HOME HINTS. ' A simple but delicious dish for dessert is ■ made by cutting up oranges in small pieces and then pouring over them some rich boiled custard. Serve with cake. Silt fish are quickest and best freshened i by soaking in sour milk. i h'toFs M boiled .„d nd A ... makes a dainty dish for a lu ich or tea. Fish be scaled i may much easier by first dipping them into scalding water for a moment. Milk which has bien changed may be ; sweetened or rendered fit for use * bv stirring in a little soda. Fresh meat beginning to soar, will sweet en if placed out of doors in the cool air over night. Kerosene will softeu boots and shoes hardened by water, rendering them as soft and pliable as new. A tablespoonful of turpentine boiled with your white clothes will greatly aid the whitening process. Paste for labels is made by soaking glue in strong vmegar, then heating it to boiling temperature and adding flour. Boiled starch is much improved by the adding of sperm or salt, or both, or a tittle gum arable, dissolved. When cooking a large fowl or joint ot meat it may be covered with a buttered paper to prevent its being scorched. Clear boiling water will remove tea stains, pour the water through the stain, and thus prevent its spreading over the labrie. Kerosene will burn clearer if the burners are boiled for five minutes twice or three times a year in wood ashes aud water. When boiling cabbage put a slice of salt pork in the water, and an agreeable flavor, with no objectionable grease or tat, will be given to the cabbage. Kerosene will make your teakettle as bright as new. Saturate a woolen rag and rub with it. It will also remove stains from the clean varnished furniture. If a little vinegar or soma c : der is mixed with stove polish it will not lose much rub¬ bing to make the stove bright , aud the blacking is not likely to fly off in line dust. For one who can afford to use it in that way, whipped cream, highly flavored with vanilla, rose water or wine, makes the richest and moBt agreeable pudding sauce. The addition of a little mace to a veal soup will give an agreeable flavor to it. Do not put enough to rnuke it a distinct flavor, hut put it in with the herbs and pepper aud salt. Pies made of canned whortleberries should have un uudeicrust ouly ; then over the top pul strips ot puff paste. Too much cruBt with the hemes makes an almost tasteless pie. If before you put rolls in the tin to bake them you rub the edgts with a little melted butter, you will uot be troubled by their sticking together when baked, and the edges will be sgiooth. To keep pudding sauce warm if prepared too long before dinner is served, set the basin containing it in a pan or pad of boil¬ ing water; do not let the water boil alter the sauce-dish is set in it, hut keep it hot. Sweet potatoes which are almost without taste are much improved it the tough out¬ side skin is removed, and they are put un¬ der a toast of beef to cook. They will brown over nicely and receive an agreeable flavor. Beeswax aud salt will make your flatirons clean and smooth as glass Tie a lump ot wax in a rag, and keep it tor that purpose. When the irons are hot. rub them first with the rag, then scour them with a paper rag sprinkled with sat Do not throw away woolen stockings, even if the feet are entirely worn out, or are so thin as to warrant no more wearing; the legs make the best kind of stockings for a child of two years old. Cut a pattern irom a little “boughten” pair, and uinke with small-soft seems. Ladies who do their own work will find that, in addition to a long apron, a pair oi calico sleeves, with a rubber cord in the top, is a dispenser of happainess. One can slip them on over cuffs and nice dress sleeves, get tea, and even wash tbe tea dishes, with ont injuring the dress When yon have the woodwork iu a room painted, it is a gained plan to have about two inches of tbe floor painted also; have the paint the same color as that of the baseboard ; then if, when changing cspetB, the carpet will uot.come close to the wall, the little space left will not be so unsightly. Moonstruck. "The sun shall not smite tbee by day nor the moon by night." This bfautilul verse expresses the belief,,common in ancient days, that the moon exercii-es a baleful in tlueuce upon those exposed to her direct ray if In modern times tbe pernicious influence has beeu doubted andeveudiu ed. But whatever the influence of the moon in temperate zones, within tbe tropicsit is very injurious to sleepers exposed to its rays, es pecially when at the full. On a voyage to the antipodes, when near the line, a Maltese sailor, who was a most comical lellow, slept tor some hours on the boom wilh his lace toward’the full moon. On waking iu the morning the muscles en tbe right side ot liis face were so contracted that every attempt to speak was attended with the most ludicurous contortions. Feeling sure 'hat something was serii usly wrong he spoke to another sailor, who supposing that as usual he was at his odd nicks, burst out uto laughter. Off he wentto anortur, wit" ■xactly the same result.

A French journal gives the following experiment:—A small pasteboard box is provided wilh a glass lid, which is coated on the upper suifaee with one or more lay ers of collodion, but not enough to render itoppaque. A number of figures r-pre-ent ing insects and the like, and made of cotton or sponge, are placed within the box. When now the collodion surface is rubbed with dry lingers in dry weather, the insects are made to move about iu an interesting manner, aH they become electrified. A Western exchange describes the same experiment somewhat more minutely ihus :— A shopkeeper wiping off boxes that had glass lids, discovered that particles of lint, bits of thread, paper and the like, Hew up from the bottom of the box and attached themselves to the glass, moving about as though they wore alive. Further experi¬ ment showed him that the same thing took place in the show-cases, when the glass ol the tops was rubbed with a handkerchief, hut on a lar. er scale. He made butterflies and other insects, some three inches long aud two inches wide, of colored paper, also little balloons and a great many other things, which, being placed in a show-case, performed in a really comical manner when the glass was briskly rubbed. The air here being dry and light, no collodion coating is required. The show cases used were about eight or ten inches in depth, yet the arti¬ ficial insects would readily hop from the bottom up against the glass, and dart about trom place to place. Often an iusect would be seen to leave its place, swoop down almost to the bottom of the ease, then from one to two feet away from where it hail its first hold. Sometimes two or more ot the ins5cts would be seen suddenly dart at oue another, cling togeth er, and fall to the bottom of the case, as though fighting; and on touebiug the bot¬ tom of the case they would separate, and dartiug back, take new places on the glass When a lot of small insects made of artificially-colored masses imported from Europe are used, the effect is very fine, and those who see the experiment for the first time cau hardly be made to believe that the bugs, worms, butteitlits and moths are not alivo. The etieet may be produced (in thie climate) by laying a pane of glass upon the lid of any ordinary paper box. The ure almost ns many and curious as those seen in a kaleidoscope. Mixed Metaphors.

Marriage has perils as well as pleasures, and if anyone is led to discern more clearely the perils flmu the pleasures, it is not strange that such an one should weep instead of smile when a marriage is witness¬ ed. The first compact made between two human brings was matrimony, and the history of our first parents shows how much that compact had to do wi(.Mixing the des¬ tiny of both thcuiselves and their decend anls. Divine law guarded with special care the relation of husband and wife. Mono¬ gamy was the or iained state. All the inspired regulations considered marriage as a bond between one man and one woman. Polygamy is a perversions of man and not an ordinance of God. I!ut there are some things preliminary to the marriage and most necessary o! these is love, There is attraction in love > there is admiration in love; there is passion in love, but neither of these, nor all together, make true and abiding love. All true love is grounded in esteem. It must be so, or it will not last. Love cannot live on round cheeks and bright and winsome manners. It must be based on something that remains unchanged when the face is wrinkled, and the eye is dull, and the form is bowed ; and that stable something is character. It has been truly said,” "It is to be feared that they who marry where they do not love, will love where they do not marry.” A second preliminary to marriage is the betrothal. It is one ot the marks of the in¬ creasing lightness with which marriage is regarded that engagements are so easily and hastily made, as is often the case. In pro¬ portion as matrimony is held in high respect, betrothals are made with great caution and are regarded as having great hiuding force. Among us marriage en¬ gagements are too often foimed and dis solved with a precipitancy which reduces the whole affair of making to a matter of uncertainty, and certainly injures the rep uta’on of those concerned in it; unless just cause can be showed. Parlies who have agreed to he roarrii d should regard the agreement as sarcedly hiuding, should guard its sanctity, and seek to carry it out. Mar¬ riage engagements should be made known. Honorable young men will not inveigle young ladies into secret promise of mar¬ riage. Discreet young ladies will suspect lhe motives of men who propose such a procedure. With a true love, and a eeason of engage¬ ment in which lovo aud discretion have ruled, the marriage teduces itself to a very simple thing indei d. It follows as natur ally as. the fruit follows the blossom. How may the wedded realize all they have hoped tor in each others society? Simply by continuing to be to each other, only in a teller measure, what they have been during courtship—faithful lovers; loving from esteem, and expressing love unselfishly. Do not imag’ne that it is in any sense un¬ becoming for a man to pay his wife the same tender attentions and give her the same compliments he bestowed upon her when he was courting her, or for a wife to manifest the same pleasure in the society of her husband as in the pre-marital days.

Mr, Topnoody come home early Ji’Vednes day evening, and his wife had not beguu supper arrangements, he sat down near her and said: "My dear, I had a minute for reflection in my office to-day, and thought I d write some poetry on home.’’ "Drinking again, I suppose.” she answer ed significantly. "You should not talk that way, my d- ar for home is a word that touches the hardest hearts and brings back memories as sweet as heavenly music. But listen, imy dear: “Cling to thy home! If there the meanest shed Yield tnee a hearth aud shelter for thy head, And some poor plot with vegetables stored—” "Tobnoody,” interrupted his wife, ‘‘did you see that man about spading up the gar den?" "No, dear, I—but hear the rest of this: •‘Be all tliat heaven allots thee for thy board, Unsavory bread and lierbs tliat- scattered grow mountain Wild on the river bank or brow;—” “IJid you nail paling on I told you to this morning?” again interrupted Mrs. T. “No, my dear, I—but let me finish: “Yete’ou this cheerless mansion shall provide More bean repose than all tne world beside.” "Is that all?” she asked. "Yes, my dear. , ’ , back “Well, I’m glad of it. And now go down town and seethat man about the gar den, and get some meat for supper, and hurry back and nail on that paiiug, and get me a bucket of water, and carry in the coal and kindling, and grind the coffee, and not sit around and see your poor wife wear herself out trying to make home something like. I think when a man has nothing else to do but write poetry, he had better hire out to maul rails, and let somebody lake his place as the head of the family, who k ows what its duties are and will attend to them instead of wasting his time trying to be a poet. I don’t believe you wrote that, anyhow, and I—” but Topnoody was gone, and the poor woman went out into the kitchen to make home "shinething like." Simplify the Work. Whet) one pair of hands are expected to do the work of a househole, it should be cut down and simplified as much as possible; no extra tucks on the pillow-shams or cases fewer ruffles to flute, tables painted to avoid scouring, etc. Ruffles, tucks and fancy work may be well, hut not half so well as a happy, eentented mother, whose face is not marked with lines o! care and weariness. Little the babies care how many tucks were in their tiny dresses, when they be¬ come men and women. Better a thousand fold wi 1 be the sight of a bright mothers (ace than one wearied and fretful, grown cross and morjse, or, it may De, gone forev er with quiet, folded hands resting at last. Too many women who have been bright, merry maidens, sink into dull, stupid, fault finding wives and mothers. Why is it? Some may fancy because their duties arc beyond their weak bodies. And so they are. Sometimes the husband is responsible in driving his business and work, and pay¬ ing no heed to his wife's help and conve¬ niences ; but in a large number of cases the wife herself is really at fault. In nearly every household the work can be cut down and simplified ; that is, can be, if we but overcome some of the old housewives’ no¬ tions in regard to work.

I talk about home because I am rarely there—aud men like to talk most, of what they know least ab( ut "There is no place iike home." Even those who live in board¬ ing houses touchingly warmhle that song. Home is more to a woman than to a man A man who has no home is a social tramp With a woman it is different ; she wants a home, but does not always have a chance to get it. Woman feeds upon affection. She is never happy till she gets her ideal man; and then she is east dowu to find another woman’s photograph and love-letter in his overcoat pocket. But a man gets his home—lot, house mortgaged, mechanic’s lien and all. He has all but the mortgage, end the mortgage has him. All of a man’s life, except what he spends at the store, club, caucus, lodge or prayer meeting, is spent in his home. Man is great in his own house; if he is not a king, he is at least a prince consort. Many are like the man who, on being nominate for lieutenant-governor, said: "You have nominated the right man for the right p’ace, I have been a lieutenant governor ever since I was married.”—II, J Burdette in Hawkeye. A Man Who is His Own Grandfather. A young fellow out West with plenty of time and genius, has figured out how a man can become his own grandfather, and this is the way he does it: “I married a widow who had a growD up daughter. My father visited our home very often, fell in love with my daughter and marrird her. So my father became my son in-law, and my step daughter my mother, because she married my father. Some time afte ward my wife had a son. He is my father's brother-in-law and my uncle, for be is the brother of my stepmeftbe'r. My fath¬ er’s wife, namely my stepmother, had a son. He is my brother, and at the same time my grandeDiid, for he is the son of my daugh ter. My wife, is my grandmother, because she is my mother's mother, 1 am my wife’s husband and grandchild at the same time : and as tbe husband of a person’d grand- ! mother is his grandfather. 1 an mi own j grandfather.” ' ! * ’ | It is generally supposed that our vital ; act ' v ' l ’ es are sometime* either to be res trained or let alone.

The proposal of Mr Chris Anderson, ot I of establishing" deep sea lighthouses. be viewed with greet interest. The is ing' nlous, but it appears perfect¬ ly practicable. It is proposed to construct such lighthouses of hollow riveted ironwork | the form of a large cylinder, about 3G feet in dyameter, and 21)0 tect in. length consisting of three essential parts. The up¬ per portion, rising MO feet out of lhe water, is to be similar, so far as shape, arrangement and internal fittings are concerned, to '.he tower of an ordinary lighthouse. The cen tra! portion about water-line, is to be packed with a material much lighter than water, such as corkwood and capable of forming a durable and unsinkable floating power. The lower portion, extending to 150 feet below water-line, is intended to resist the force of wind and weather acting upon the tower and as a ballast to lower the centre o gravity of the wiiole structure to any desirel extent. But to rentier the light-tower still safer it is proposed to admit water and if neees-ary to employ a quantity of iron as ballast. The lighthouse would be erected compUte in tne shipyard, launched aud towed out to its intended site, where it would readily be made to assume its erect position by admitting water to the compartment. Having been properly float¬ ed and ballasted it is next to be securely at¬ tached by steel wire ropes two inches in diameter to anchor blocks, weighing about 200 tons each, sunk in suitable positions, so that, in water one mile deep fach rope would be from two to three miles long. The pro¬ posed displacement would be about 2 000 tons, for which, it, is thought, there would be no difficulty in providing ad quate moor¬ ings. As the structure would be entirely dependent, for its floating power upon the light material contained in the central divi¬ sit n it wou'd be nnsinkable, even if struck by a ship or iceberg. Its peculiar form and arrangement would give it grtat stability, so that if forced from the perpendicular it would instantly right itself with great pow¬ er. But it has been calculated that even a hurricane moving with a velocity of 100 miles per hour, equivalent 10 a pressure of fifty pounds per square foo:, will only cause a diviation of ten degrees from the perpen¬ dicular. Against this it is to be noticed that the sag, or sinking toward the middle, of the mooring ropes will form a most effec¬ tive spring to control any tendency to oscil lation. As the whole mass of the structure is c-ompa- atively great, and thearea exposed to tbe filling ioree of waves viry small, it is thought that the rising and falling motion caused by passing waives will be almost in i j appreciable, it is proposed at the same t - me tQ rolinec t those floating lighthouses . tab i e with the mainland, an 1 thus lhe ; desirabilily and increasing neces j . }f)r lijihth(U18e8 atjd telegraphic ; stations in midocean would he : fully met, and various important objects ] might be attained by their construction I A storm warning from the AtDntic, for iu , a j ance cou ( d b e sent tbirly-six hours in advaDCe * a,ld a ^ savin 8. of wanT lion pounds worth of maratime property ai'd what is of far more importance, ol hundreds of valuable human lives thereby effected. On the other hand, shipowners could be apprisid of the paa,-a,;e and con¬ trition of their vessels, and could forward assistance or instruct ons to the same en route. Moreover, those deep-sea lighthouses would form good rendezvous for vessels in distress or shipwrecked crews. As it is also proposed to employ similar lighthouses on a smaller scale for coast service, the great saving of life and property which would result around the shores of the United Kingdom alone would be sufficient to speedily cover the first cost of tbe light towers. - -• a »- - Pauper Labor is England. Tuere is no more wretchedly remunerate ') employment in the kingdom than nail making, or one that, in consequence of the starvation prices paid, is more frequently Interrupted by strikes. It spares nobody; mites of children, out of their school hours, can, in tbeir small way, assist, and the poverty of their parents makes them gald to avail themselves of even (heir puny help, delicate girls, mothers who are nursing their babes, aged women, bent and feeble, and who have all their lives been, in a manner speaking, chained to the forge of drudgery ot the anvil, iu the midst of smut and smoke shey still go on, hammering, aud filing, and tugging at the bellows, until their strength utterly fails them. Thea they retire, for a brief spell, to the work house, and thence to the church yard. It is a marvel hew, on the scanty wages they are enabled to earn, they contrive to ex ; st at all. I remember a poor soul at Cradlev, a widow woman, who, with the assistance of ler eldest daughter, a girl of thirteen, maintained, by her chain making, the entire family, seven iu number. The hovel in which her forge was fixed adjoined the squalid little two roomed cottage where she was supposed to reside; but, to use her own words, she “might, except for sleeping purposes, as wei! almost be without it, since it was only on Sundays that she did not live, with the children, in the smithy." And never did 1 set eyes on more deplorable little objects than the latter were Not one of them, including the girl who tended the fire and bellows, wore shoes or stockings, though no shoe leather could have beeu blacker than tbeir feet; the remaindtr of their bodies being but a lew shades lighter in complex ion. It was a mere waste of soap, their mother averred, even if the had money to spare for its purchase, to attempt to keep them clean. Being next to naked, they cou j d no t j nt0 tbe street, and their only p i ay p | aee was among the coal, slack and a3 ties. On Sunday, however, she ; b -m “a reglar go.d scrubbing,’' and on tbe same day of rest she washed their rags, while they remained in bed, and dried them, somebow . so that they might wear them again on .Monday morning. She told me lbat working at the forge from six in ’he _ morning until ten or eleven o’clock at a jght, and with her daughter’s assistance, she was enabled to earn about five farthings j an honr ’ or one and e.ghtpance or mne p J n ? e a da F T en shillings a week exeeed the average, ana out ot this she has to two aud niuepenee rent for the cottage i ; house.
