Toy 1 wandered back to a village quaint a w= small, il, days I often played Witare, in childhood's happy Down the little shady street, Where the pink topped myrtles meet, To find the rainbow's end 1 oft have strayed ; For a bag of gold, they said, would hang just o'er my head, And 1 might claim it u my own, If I reached the bright bow's end— Ah, I tried with many a friend, But ere we reached the hill the arch was gone. But to -day I Iooked around, Heard the brook's familiar sound, But the little brown thatched cottage now is gone; To my eyes there rushed such tears As I had not shed for years, When 1 saw the old stone chimney there alone. Oh, that old stone chimney there ! how sweet mem- ories round it throng ; About its broad sides we used to sit, Mother with her soft, dark hair, Ruddyboys and girls so fair, • And in the corner dear old grandma sat and knit, And our' father, always kind, delved from out his welt -stared mind Precious jewels for his children's good or gain, We would sing some sweet old song, As the hours would glide along, Hours that brought sweet breaths of joy, nor wafted pain But to -day 1 looked around, Heard the brook's familiar sound, But the little brown thatched cottage now 3s gone ; To uiy eyes there rushed such tears As I had not shed for years, When I taw the old stone -chimney there alone Now the chimney stands alone, guarding tenderly the spot Where once was laughter sweet and prayers and home, As its shadows seem to fall, Gently oxer two grave stones tall, Of the father and the mother who are gone ; And the boys and girls are grown—some are tread- ing life alone, And some have little: children at their knee, But whence come these blinding tears ; Oh, those changing. fleeting years, They have scarred tLat old stone chimney gray— and me '. But to -day I looked around, Heard the brook's familiar sound, But the Iittle brown thatched cottage now is gone, To my eyes there rushed such tears As i had not shed for years When I saw the old stone chimney there alone ! —Mary Belle Poole. A Nursery Peep. As naturally as a little duck takes to the nearest puddle, does a small boy take to throwing stcnes, and a small girl to hand- ling a broom. Itis very curious how instinctively sex shows itself in a young gIild'e selection of amusements. - There have been little boys, it is true, who have played with dolls, and even made awkward attempts with the needle. We consider these bad signs in a boy. We had much rather pat up with a little extra boisteronsnees, even in: view of an occa- sional headache, than to see whit in our opinion argues a future lack of energy and efficiency. That an embryo intelligent man or wo- man is always the moattroublesome in the nursery, needs no proving at this day. And a parent who would avoid properly direct- ing this activity, through indolence, may look to see it forced into mischievous and hurtful channels. Home' education—nursery education—is no pastime to amuse an idle hour. It is a high—holy serions—sweet labor, and so the faithful parent will always find it, natwith- standing all drafts on physical strength. • " To the Pure," etc. STRANGE ADVENTURE OF THREE ENDEAVOR DELEGATES IN ONE OF GOTHAM'S ROOF GARDENS. The defenseless sometimes carry with them a shield they know not of. A few nights ago a party of nen noticed on one of the roof gardens, three persons, a clear-eyed lad of 20, perhaps, with a placid faces, grey-haired matron and a chattering young girl, all three of them seeing for the first time the summer -night attractions of the big city. They were delighted with the music and the lights, and with much of the en- tertainment. The young girl found the skirt -dancing very wonderful,and the mother tried hard to enlarge her views so as not to disappoint the enthusiasm of the two young people. I should think New York people would never want to go away in the summer and miss the roof gardens," raog out the girlish voice above the hum of festivity and the clink of glasses. " But, do you know, mo- ther," and here she drew closer to the elder- ly lady, "I had no idea New York ladies rouged so much. Why, nearly every lady here has rouge on." a a Perhap3 it was this; remark, , perhps it was the unusual sweetness and simplicity that shone like an aura about these three earthly saints that made the neighboring party of amen carry away a dietinct recollec- tion of the three faces. s At any rate they did, and an hour later, as they sat in a cer- tain restaurant where there were loud voices and boisterous laughter, and where all the women had rouge on their faces, one of the men caught the elbow of the next one quick- ly and said, "Heaven and earth !. They are actually coming here And there, at the door, stood the trio, the boy a little in advance, with a look of timidity on his face, the mother and girl waiting placidly to be shown to seats. That they should have strayed into this place rather than into any other was clearly a matter of coincidence and ignorance, but, at any rate, there they were, with a bowing waiter leading them down the centre of the room and seating them deferentially at one of the moat prominent tables. At the sight of these faces, so unusual. in this place, and so quietly unconscious of the _. fact, a great hush fell for an instant upon the eating and drinking crowd. It was broken by one girl, a little bolder than the rest, who calledout to another at an adjoin- ing table, " Say, Jenny, where's your Chris- tian. Endeavor badge ?" Instantly a score of frowning eyes were levelled at the merrymaker, while the head waiter stepped quickly forward and said sharply: - "Here, none of that while these people are here." So the three sat there and ate their simple supper, and looked about them with inter- ested and approving eyes, while all the rev- elers sat in the most quiet and constrained manner. For all one could see then, the re• staurant might have been the moat exclusive establishment up town. Not a loud voice or a mocking laugh was heard,. most of the men stopped smoking, nobody looked gay, and many of the men looked exceedingly uncomfortable. One or two women got up hastily and went out. The young girl's laugh rang out once or twice, while the mother smiled, and the boy was important and happy. And by-and-by they went quietly away. Not a word had offended them, not a glance had perplexed them, not a hint bad come to them that there was such a thing as wrong -doing in all the world. For Impoverished Blood. B.

Reverence for royalty was one of the most marked characteristics of the ancient religion of the Hawaiians. It was formerly a crime punishable with death to pass through the King's shadow, or sit higher than his head. His person was sacred. and protected sty a strict system ot ta000, .In the royal palace the taboo stick, with which the King announced his ex -communications, is exhibited. It isa wand with a carved stone cap. If this stick was lowered on the approach of a courtier he was conipelled to withdraw immediately, and was recognized as being in disgrace. ,The King's will was absolute ; but the majority of the Hawaiian monarchs seem tb have ben of a kindly disposition, and to have made no improper use of their extr ine power, It was, due to one of then that the taboo system was abol- ished. This system bore with grievous weight upon the women. They were for- bidden the use of some of the most common articles of diet, such as bananas and certain. kinds of fish, on pain of death. It was taboo for ,a, woman to eater the eating house of the men, or one of the "helaus" or temples. Before the arrival of the first missionaries the reigning King, out of con- sideration for some o'fhis women, declared the taboo abolished. The work of converting the natives to Christianity was greatly assisted by this voluntary renunciation of the old heathen system. \ The power of the priests was broken by it, though their influence , was still strong with the natives. The source of the awe in which they were hold is easily understood, when one considers that they were formerly invested with the right of choosing the victims for the human sacri- fices. Later they depended largely on the- "anana" or power of prjtying people to death, to retain their influence. No amount of argument can disabuse the native mind of a belief in this 'particular kind of en- chantnient. It is not the priests alone who practice it. It is believed that any one can compass the destruction of an enemy by a sufficient exercise of will power. In fact, so strong is the popular conviction on the ,subject, or so weak the vitality of the race, drat it is sometimes sufficient merely to convince a man that some one has deter- mined to pray him to death. An' instance is related by one of the early - missionaries of aman who became thus con- vinced, and set the day and hour of his own death. Mr.' Armstrong was resolved that the man should not die. He accordingly procured a sufficient amount of chloroform, and 'kept him unconscience" until the fatal hour was past.. His astonishment on being roused was boundless, but the bold ruse saved his life.—Overland Monthly., Useful Basket. Mutton is more nutritious and digestable than beef, although some physicians hold that broth made from beef is more nutritive than that from mutton. Iced tea, a favorite beverage of midsum- mer, is a drink of doubtful value at the din- ner table. Hot, tea heats the stomach and prepares it for its work, while cold tea re- tards digestion, like ice water taken during a meal, by chilling the stomach. Grease stains on wall paper may be re- moved by mixing pipe -clay with enough water to make a sort of cream. Spread this rather thickly on the stain, leave it on for twenty-four hours, then take it off carefully with a knife and dust and brush the paper thoroughly. Do not use a good chamois skin for wip- ing the kitchen windows, as they are apt to be a little greasy from,the steam of boiling meats, and if a skin is once made greasy, it is spoiled. Use an old salt bag for washing as it is soft and does not cast lint. With a little ammonia in the water for washing them, followed by careful. rinsing, they shine. • The bites and stings of insects may be at once relieved and inflammation prevented if the parts are touched with strong 1g'luid ammonia. A wise plan for. those who in- dulge in country rambles or who play ten- nis is to carry a tiny flat bottle filled with ammonia, with a small camel's hair brush fitted in the cork, when it may be used im- mediately after the attack. A very old-fashioned but most effectual way to clean a carpet is to rub it thorough- ly with a cloth dipped in one part of oxgall and three parts of water, taking care not to wet the carpet more than is absolutely necessary. Not only will this treatment re- move stains, but it will revive color. The oxgall is, however, most malodorous stud', and in order to avoid the atrocious smell it is better, if possible, to carry on the process in the open air. It takes at least twenty- four hours to get rid of the smell. To restore the leather bindings of books wasli them first very lightly and carefully with clean warm water in which a tiny piece of soda bas been dissolve's, in order to Ile leather from ; then wash free t grease with clear water to remove the soda, and dry. Dissolve a bit of anon arabic the size of a small bean in a teaspoonful of water :tnd beat it up with a teaspoonful of the uliite of an egg. \Vitli a bit of srnnge go lightly over the leather with this glair and lc;t it dry. Should the glair froth up on the leather, as it is very likely to do if there is much tool work on the book, dab it until it subsides with the palm of the hand or with the sponge squeezed as dry as possible. Farmer Hardcrop Works Out an Idea. Farmer Hardcrop (reading over his ad- vertisement to his wife)—Ladies will find excellent summer accommodation "at Way - back. None over '?5 years of age taken..

The doctor jumped out to stop the horse, when he slip- ped on a stone, fell and broke his leg at the ankle. —The farmers around Woodstock are jubilant over the promising outlook of the fall wheat crop. The harvest will be the best in years. Already the binders have been at work, and the general report is that the yield will be enormous. A well-known farmer stated the other day that fall wheat in many places would yitld 40 bushels to the acre. Hay, too, is an enormous crop. One farmer offers a surplus quantity of hay at $4 a load—and he doesn't care bow big the load. IM PORTANT NOTICES.
