Mj Husband's Shirt.
I’m afraid you may think him a dandy
And mention it, to his disgrace,
When I tell you the flrout was embroidered
And the neck and sleeves trimmed with soft lace.
But I ironed it. with such a feeling
As never possessed me before.
Though I d lanndried his shirts, a full hundred.
And made them for him by the score.
But. tenderly bending o’er this one,
1 said “bless his heart 1 ’ and “sweet boy,”
Ard smoothing tbe lsce on the neck-band,
] lingered a minute to toy
With the frill ss it lay on my finger.
And,(though yt u may think I was “soft,”)
I pressed two quick kisses upon it,
And laughingly held it aloft.
1 know wires don't usually do so. •
When Ironing shirts for theJr lord*;
They’re more apt to indulge In a tantrum
Or tirade o’er their ironing board.
But list, and I’ll tell you the secret.
And Ton'll sympathise with me I know,
As one woman will with another,
If she the “white feather” will show.
Fhe captured a shirt which her papa,
IV ben he was a baby, had worn,
Ketnrned home, she said; “Mama wash It,”
And so, as I did her behest,
And thought how my terrible giant
Within its wee slse had been pressed,
po you wonder I said “bless hla heart,” as
My fancy presented to view.
A min store phase of the monster
Hour often tbe perfume of a flower, a strain of
lame long forgotten melody, on even a flower,
will bring to mind scenes, or persons, about
whom memory loves to linger. I saw a friend
prrseut another one day; with a hunch of lit
tle flowers railed “Star of Bethlehem/' They
hsd grown in an old fashioned garden which
had once belonged to the lady to whom they
were presented, and indeed hsd been planted
by her years before, in her first home, after
her marriage. Immediately her mind went
back to those happy dajs when Ufesoemed all
•vnshlnc. No doubt in imagination sho could
•ee her little ones as they played about the
old garden, and plucked these little flowers,
with which to adorn her hair. The trouble!
and vicissitudes of later years were all forgot
ten. as fancy painted fairer scenes. And whilo
this little bnnch of flowers were recalling “by
gone hours” to mj friend, they were bring
ing back to me also pleasant associations of the
.past. The picture of a dear old boose, with
its long piatza filled with chairs, ever Inviting
one to sit and rest, a yard filled with Pride of
India trees, under whose shade tho joyous
laughter of little children was heard, an old
fashioned multi Horn rose that covered one end
of the old piazza, and* all around tho yard a
border on which were “jonquills,” “star of
Bethlehem,” “snow drops,” “bine bells of Scot-
land,” (old fashioned flowers, but jest as dear
to those who planted them as flowers of more
brilliant hue.) But the crowning joy of this
picture was the image of one who always sat
in the “old arm chair,” at the corner ofthepb
azsa. of a summer evening, always robed In
pore white, with some sweet flower upon her
bosom. 8uch was the picture this little flower
hsd brought with such distinctness before my
mental vision, nod, at I ssiil to a friend near
by, “they always remind me of my mother,”
there came tbe sad reply, “I have no memory
of xpy mother.” No memory of a mpther!
Could thcro bo words fraught with deeper sod*
nets? to be denied tbe most blessed memory
' of life. And so this little bnnch of “Star of
Bethlehem” had fhlllllcd its mission; two
hearts bad been brightened by recollections of
the past, and the little flowers hsd guided our
thoughts back to the joyous poriod of child
boed, when, sitting at our mother's aide, wo
Hauned in childish rapture to the story of tho
true “Star of Bethlehem,” who«e beams woro
to galdo onr hearts to cvor’qsting light.

hesitate to change onr plans and fit our met us e
to tbe new order of things. In many thing* I can
tee where my own management was at fault; and
how 1 could have done better for the want of ad
vice. Just at tho (mint of trying our kind editress’
plans on bouse cleaning, was prevented by tho
walling winds and the pitiless rain. Little vexa
tions are sort to come to chase the smile from the
face, and cloud the bw with annoyance* This
shall be the lest of my hints on house cleaning,

all admire it, especially in other people, when we
do not attain to it oa*selves. Anyway, the breram

Abby F. Wilson, rcalxjdjr. Mass.: I reply to N

ihg tecelps for prerervea and Jellies: In making
f rape preserves you squeeze tho pulp out aud atear
Hum until tbe reeds separate, then strain them.
Blew the skins In a little water uutil tender, then
put them with the pulp and weigh. Put lu an
equal quantity of Higar with them and boll fifteen
minutes. All the difference in making grape pro*
»mO and Jelly is, In making icily you squeeze tho
pulp and skins through a scire after they are
stewed, m» there arc nosklns in tbe Jelly.
In making currant, blackberry, gooseberry aud
raspberry Jellies aro made
(queuing out the Juioo
adding a enp of sugar to a cup of juice aud boiling
It ten minutes. Raspberry does not uoed quite so
much sugar, for it makes it too stiff, while goose
berry t.<edi. a little more sugar, aud boiling fifteen
minutes, for it 1* hard to set.
After i he jelly is set cut some thin cloth tbe size
of the top or a tumbler, aud dip Into tho white of
an egg and place it over tbe top of the Jelly, then
tie a thick paper over the top of the tumbler.
