"How many motliats titer* »n ali ovcrUie
lend that appeal to oi for sympathy. The foi'
lowing line* were lent bp Mrs O. Z. T., of Bel'
moot, Ala., who loit her two little girls in one
week with diphtheria. Every mother's heart
Will go oot to her In ejmpathy :
A Mother'. Soliloquy.
An they gone forever tram my aortal tight T
Behind the cloud Is there no ray or light T
Be still sad heart, a sweet voice calleththoe
"My child cast thoojhy burden on me."
Ill murmur not nor question thy design?
My Father chsrtenr. l to him resign;
Bat may I be with resignation blessed,
TO bear each evil however digressed.
Oh I loving Father chide me not tor weeping
For Jemu wept while Learns still wm sleeping.
My Bowen ere gone I’ll take me to the crow
May sanctified affection portly the dross.
My earthly home haa bean clotbedlln sadness day
by day.
But He who made the teen to flow, can wipe thorn
ell twty.
Best In peace deer departed children rest,
And quiet now the aching head and having
breast
Ho more dear "Lollle" your cheerful voice will
greet my eu
In sweeter strains It will sound; again with Chris
forever near.
Oh “Birdie” doer, how ihrvently I preyed that God
thy life would spare,
But the “gill wu mine, the leva wm yours," t'wu
thus be beard my prayer.
Ob glorious hope I Oh blossed thought with earthly
trials done,
U faithful hero, wo will meet again, around our
Father's throne,
Ml trust God’s love His purpose now, he'll not ro
ves],
Be Ibis enough “He doth ell things well.”
Beautiful Hands.
(Contributed.]
Benotlfnl. hinds I They have a magloof
their own. How prised by those who possess
them, how covoted by those who do not! The
poets love them, end sound melodious prats os
to soft, shapely palms tndrosy finger-tips. The
world—whom wo know the poets lead—prslsos
them too, and henco the painstaking amoug
all who would be admired to render tnd pre
serve this prominent organ fair to the sight
and pleasing to the touch.
Show mo e hind that challenges my admire-
lion. Granted, If yon will, that It be smell
and smooth and dimpled; Its Ivory whltenem
eet off by sparkling gems. Let It understand
foil well the poetry of motion and the witchery
of touch, whether ite fingers be dancing airily
to their own sweet mnslo on piano or guitar, or
waving with dreamy languor their Jowel-
spangled fan, or holding with masterful graee
the reins of a prancing steed. But before I
pronounce It n beautiful hand, let mo seo it
not in the crowded drawing room or, faultless
ly gloved, on the gay promenade. Let me fob
low it through all its home ministries, and
learn the worka In which tho fair owner cm'
ployea it, when the world la not there to see,
bit sever bathed in the Hay dew at the
dawn, clasping Instead the airy nothings of
dreamland? Is it rarely applied in relieving
the cares of the hardened home melds? Do
the younger brothers end sisters sometimes
feel Its angry impreu upon their tingling
cheeks? Does it sever Test, lades with bene-
factions, on tho door-letch of the sorrowing
pour? In A word, with aUlts marvellous grace
and culture; does it pern from day to day, un-
thoughtful and nnrkllled In waking from the
harp of life those thouaandg nameless harmo
nics that make woman a sacred word,and homo,
the heart’a own heaven ? If so, then that hand
la a failure. SelflehncM Is branded In flory
letters upon Its vestal surface; deformity lurks
beneath Ite patrician outline.
Lot It pus from my sight, and show mo
rather tho rude palm of some lowly daughter
of the people, tolling day by day in the homo*
ly service wbloh love exalts, with now end
then a kindly turn for the yet poorer poor; end
I Will prtM snob ■ hand M that of ono who
hold! queenly rank in tho realm of trice
How ahull wo render oar hands fair and
comely In the high, Idsal sense? Let ns shield
them well from tho dotting contact of heart-
IsM deeds. Lotus bathe thorn each day In tho
"balm of a thousand flowera’’of odorous kind
offices. Letthem be plentifully adorned with
the diamond drops that fall from tho eyes of
soothed sorrow. Above all, lot them bo often
duped In contrite prayer to the Infinite. So
■hall they be dignified with e beauty which
age cannot shrivel or labor mar. True, they
may not gleam or decile ee hen who queens It
in marble balla; but the hand that wu
pierced shell grasp them in a brother's greet
ing, end count them worthy to gather ama
ranths on tho morning of the resurrection.

Is quite a fancy fcr having all the front windows
of a house bong wltn the same drapery, and this
fashion involves spending a great deal of money,
In matching the upper windows to those on the
parlor floor, or else baying very modest materiel
for ell. Some people conquer the difficulty by
having Swiss or scrim sash curtains the entire
length of the sub, gathered at top and bottom and
looped beck tightly In tho middle on eaeh side.
There ssah or screen enttalna will do without
other drapery In the upper rooms, and only the
parlor need be supplied with long lace or muslin
curtains. In city booses, windows are fashiona

The Cere of a Piano.
As severs] of onr correspondents bavo Inquired
regarding the care of pianos, we reprint the fol
lowing simple rales for their care, from the Bos
ton Budget: Anv hard snbetanoe, no matter how
small, dropped inside a piano, will Close a rat
tling, Jarring noise. II Is. in every esse, desirable
that an India rubber or cloth oorer should pretest
the Instrument from bruises and scratches. The
piano should oot he placed In n damp room qr
led open In a draught of cold air. Dampness Is
its moat dan; — — — —
drain;
lost dangerous snooty, causing its strings and
ng pipes to nut. the cloth need In oonstrue-
of the keys ana action to swell, whereby the
treme beet being scarcely less injurious, the piano
should not be plsoed very near an open fire or
bested stove, nor over o* close to tho hot-air far-
nice. Moths ere very destructive to the cloth and
felt used In the piano, and may he kept out of It
by placing e lamp of camphor, wrapped In soft
paper, In the Inna* of it, cere being taken to re
new It from time to lime. Many persons are una
ware or the great Importance ot having their
n mlenos kept In order and tuned only by a oompe-
nt tuner. A new piano should be tuned at lout
Washing Blankets.
If you are washing new blankets don’t make tho
mistake I did before 1 knew better, and pat them
into hot weter. Have the water Jnst worm with n
generous supply of dissolved soap (1 nso Dobbin's
clectilo, having found no better), addlog e large
tablespoon of borax to each pall of wator. Wash
In wafers enough to make them look dear; If any
greiM Is left no after-WMhlng will take It out.
The nesrerthe water all throngh lr kept or one
temperature the Ins they will shrink, florae add
bluing to the last rinse. I prefer the dean, white
leek to the possible streaks of blue. While the
blankets are drying they should be pulled In
shape eovoral times. I button-hole the edges of
blanket! with white worsted, cutting them apart
when bought. They are much more convenient to
handle when opart. Tho ribbon they Ire usually
bound with will dlaoolor th* blanket! when
washed.—Exchange.
