THE SOUTHERN WORLD, SEPTEMBER 16,1882, 11 “ There’s a young saw-bones a few doors below," drawled xny youngest gentleman cousin, who resented my waiting upon any one but himself; “ he'll do for your tine old —nuisance." That very evening Mr. Griffin had a bad turn, and I sent for the “young-saw bones u few doors below” in g-eat haste. He proved to be Dr. Rice, afrunlc-Iooking, brown-haired, gray-eyed, broad-browned young man, witli gentle voice and quick, light step. And the" old gentleman, taking a great fancy to him, decided on retaining him—a decision that relieved me greatly, bearing in mind as I did my aunt's command in regard to our family physician. And from that time, for three months, although very seldom conlined to his bed, our lodger never had a well day. At the end of the three months, however, he began to mend slowly, and at the end of two more was on his feet again. And then he told me he had made up his mind to return again to England. “ 1 am sorry, very sorry, to part with you,” I replied. "But 1 suppose it is right that you should go." “Well said, Little Honesty. And now let’s begin to pack,” said he. Dr. Rice and I went with the old gentle man to the steamer that was to carry him away, and waved a last farewell to him—in the midst of a crowd also waving last fare wells—from the pier, as the vessel slowly moved into the stream; and then we re turned to our respective homes to read the respective letters he had placed in our re spective hands with his final good-by. Mine I read in the privacy of my own room at first; and when I bad partially re covered from my astonishment and delight, I flew down stairs, calling the family to gether, and read it to them. It was as fol lows : — “ Dear Little Honesty : —Had I died— which I didn't, thanks under God to you and Dr. Rice—I should have left each of my dear young friends ten thousand dollars in my will. But having lived, I am going to do a much pleasanter thing—I am going to give them the ten thousand at once. My lawyer will see you to-morrow. Amos Griffin. “ P. S. I have also left a slight bequest to Miss Ethel Egbert. She will find it on the lower shelf of the closet in the room I oc cupied when 1 was her cousin Dorothea's lodger.” Ethel for once forgot her graceful, gliding step. She started hastily for the stairs, but her younger brother was before her, and she was fain to start back ns he slid down the baluster, und landed in our midst with some thing in his arms. It was a large framed photograph of Amos Grifliu, with a card attached bearing these words: “ An excellent picture of ‘ An Old Nuisance ’ ” I married Dr. Rice. j$l(t jfonselfotd.

Every lady who pretends to follow the uncertain turnings of fashion, naturally desires to learn as soon as possible, what is coming next. It is rather difficult to decide on any one point just yet, but we will present a few brief notes, for the present, promising to do better ns the season advances. There does not appear to be much change in Fall millinery. Hats are still large, while the crowns grow some larger and taller. Very elegant and ex pensive plush will be largely used; and small feulhers, fastened upon stains and made into the shape of long drooping ostrich plumes, can be had in almost nny color, Dark, rich-colored flowers are also seen, though we can not tell as yet, which will take the lead—feathers or flowers. There is a handsome variety of shaded plush ribbon, and unique ornaments. One very pretty de sign of the latteris a tiny violin, with dainty tassels suspended from one end. Hunter’s green and seal-brown are shades that will he much favored both in millinery and dress goods of every variety. Spanish lace still holds its own, and is, perhaps, a little less expensive. It will yet be used for the neck, but mostly for evening. Designsof catkins and reeds made of black silk braid for trimming pnnels of cloth dresses are similar to those used for decorat ing table scarfs und other draperies. Parisian establishments have never sold so much velvet as they do at present. Habits, basque waists, and collars are in black and colored velvet. Ornaments are also of velvet, brought to the boiling point, It is not neces sary to let them lie the customary three days in cold salt and water. The right proportion use is one-quarter of a pound of salt to one quart of water. It is sometimes a great convenience to be able to do up the pickles in one day. Flavoring Sybups and Fruit Jabs.—In making syrups, simply express the juice by squeezing the ripe fruit in some porus though strong cloth; linen towling is an ex cellent thing for this purpose; this requires some strength, and it is best to prepare small portions at a time; to every pint of juice thus obtained, add two pounds of the best white sugar, and dissolve by a gentle heat; strain through a flannel while hot. and bot tle. The best receptacles for syrups are demijohns or flasks, wrapped in wicker work. Light affects the color, and, perhaps, makes some other chemical changes, injuring the taste; they should be kept in ns cool place as possible. After the above formula syrups have been kept the whole summer, and are useful for a variety of purposes. In flavoring ice-cream no more sugar is needed than that contained in the syrup. Athalia Jaioh. Care op Irons.—When irons become rough or smoky, lay a little tine salt, on a Hut sur face and rub them well; it will prevent them from sticking to anything starched, und make them smooth; or scour with bath- brick before bcuting, and when hot rub well with salt, and then with u small piece of beeswax tied up in a rug, after which wipe clean on a dry cloth. A piece of tine sand- paper is also a good thing to have near the stove, or a hard, smooth board covered with brick-dust, to rub each iron on when it is put back on the stove, so that no starch may remain to be burut on. I'ut beeswax between pieces of paper or cloth and keep on the table close by the flat-iron stund. If the irons get couted with scorched sturch, rub them over the paper that holds the starch and it will come off. Rubbing the iron over the waxed paper, even if no starch adheres, adds to the glossiness of the linen that is ironed. To prevent scarlet flannel or worsted goods of any description of this color from fuding when washed, take this precaution: Mix a half a cupful of flour with a quart of cold water, let it boil for ten or fifteen minutes, then mix with the warm suds in which the article is to be washed; squeeze and rinse up and down repeatedly instead of rubbing on a rubbing-board. If very much soiled, wash in two or three waters, always taking care to have them of the same temperature if possi ble and just cool enough to put your hands in comfortably. Make the suds before put ting the garments in, and avoid if you can rubbing soap on it The daughters of the Prince of Wales wear wash prints for morning and white muslin for evening toilet in summer, and plain gray serge for day dresses in winter. HINTS AND IIKI.r.N. Scorched spots, if not too deep, may be re moved by laying them in the sun. White kid shoes can be cleaned by dipping a perfectly clean white flannel cloth in a lit tle ammonia, und then rubbing the cloth over a cake of white soap; after doing this rub the kid gently, and the soiled places will be white again. As the flannel becomes soiled change for a clean one. Some one has discovered that flowers may be kept a long time by putting them into an air-tight glass jar, with a morsel of quick lime wrupped in oil-silk at the bottom. In this way they may be indefinitely preserved if the jar is opened from time to time. Cement for Stoves.—If the stove is crack ed, a good cement is made for it os follows Wood-ashes und salt in equal proportions, reduced to a paste with cold water, and filled in the cracks when the stove is cool. It will soon harden. To Remove Bruises from Furniture.—Wet the bruised spots with warm water. Soak piece of brown paper of several thicknesses in warm water, and lay over the place. Then apply a warm flat-iron until the moisture Is gone. Repeat the process if needful, und the bruises will disappear. BECIPE8. Tomato Custard.—Peel and slice as many tomatoes as the size of the family requires stew iu own juice until well done. Then take up and beat as smooth us possible. To every two cu|>s of the stewed tomatoes, add the following: A good half cup of sugar three eggs beaten to u froth; half a teaspoon ful of spice, powdered very flue; four table spoonfuls of cream mixed with one tea- spoonful of sifted flour. Stir briskly until you are sure it is well mixed, and pour in crusts; cook till brown. This recipe has been tried und found to be splendid. We hope some of our readers will try it, aud re- port to the Household. Frostino for Cake.—Allow sixteen table- spoonfuls of pulverized sugar for each egg take part of the sugar at first und sprinkle over the egg; beat them to a froth for half an hour, gradually stirring in the rest of the sugar; then flavor. A little lemon juice whitens icing; strawberry juice or cranberry sirup give a very pink shade. It may be colored yellow by using some of the yelk of the egg, or by putting the grated peel of lemon or orange in a thin muslin bag and squeezing it hard into the egg and sugar. If vegetables that are to be pickled ore put into cold salt and water, and are gradually THE GULLETT GIN WORKS manufacture GULLETT'S IMPROVED MAGNOLIA COTTON GIN, THE BARNETT COTTON GIN, —ALSO— Feeders and Condensers.
