LIFE LEAVES.
The day, with Its sandals dipped in dew,
Has passed through tho evening’s golden
And a single star in the cloudless blue
For the rising moon in silence wails;
Whilo tho winds that sigh to the languid hour*
A lullaby breath o’er the folded flower*.
Tho IHHes nod to tho sound of the stream
That winds along with lulling flow,
And either awake, or half a dream,
I pass tbroiign the realms of Long Ago ;
"While faces peer with mauy a stuilo
Prom the bowers of Memory’s magical isle.
There are joys and sunshine, sorrows and
tears
That check tho path of life’s April hours,
And a longing wish for the coming years,
That hope evor wreaths with tho fairest
flowers:
There are friendships guileless—love ns bright;
And pure as the'stars in the halls of night.
There are ashen memories, bitter pain,
And buried hopes and a broken vow.
And an aching heart by the reekless main.
And the sea-breeze fanning a pallid brow;
And a wanderer on tho shell-lined Bhorc,
Listening for voices that speak no more.
There aro passions strong, and ambitions
wild,
And the fierce desire to stand in tho van
Of the battlo of life—and tho heart of the
child
Is orushed in tho breast of tho struggling
man,
But short aro the regrets and few are the tears,
That fall at the tomb of the banished years.
There is a quiet, and peace and domestic love,
And joys arising from faith and truth,
And a truth unquestioning, far above
Tho passionate dreamings of ardent youth,
And kisses of children on lips and cheek,
And the parent’s bliss which no tongqe can
speak.
Thcro are loved ones lost! There are little
graves
In the distant dell, ’ncath protecting trees,
Where tho streamlet winds, and the violet
waves,
And the grasses sway to the sighing breeze;
And we mourn for pressure of tender lips,
And the light of eyes darkened in death’s
eolipse.
And thuB, as the glow of the daylight dies;
And the night’s first look to the earth is
cast,
I gazo, ’neatb those beautiful summer skies,
At the pictures that hang in the hall of the
past ;
Oh, Sorrow and Joy, chant a mingled lay
“When to memory’s wild wood we wander
away.
Bushing Tomaotes.—Those who love
good tomatoes will take pains to cultivate
them so as to insure them, as near as may
be, in their full perfection. There is no
other frutit that delights more in air and
sunshine than the tomato. They should
have, therefore, abundance of room, and
the vines sustained from falling to the
earth. 1 have found stout brush firmly
set round the plants, to answer better than
any other method. The branches have
room to extend themselves as they like,
while the limbs of the bush keep them in
their positions. By this method the fruit
is more fully exposed to the genial influ
ences of the air and sunshine, whereby it
attains a more delicious flavor, larger size,
and comes quicker to maturity.—[Rural
New Yorker.
To Remove Smoke from Walls be
fore White-Washing —When walls
are badly smoked, indigo, dissolved in wa
ter. and applied with a brush, removes the
smoke and leaves the walls in a good con
dition to receive the lime We presume
this is good, though we have never tested
it. Our remedy for smoked walls being
white lye, made in the following manner:
Take 4 quarts of ashes, pour into it 8
quarts of boiling water; let it settle, and
apply with a brush;, if badly smoked, wash
it over twice, then it is ready for the lime.
Beat Biscuits—Take one eup of lard,
one pint of sweet milk, a heaping teaspoon
ful of salt, and the /east bit of soda. Rub
the lard well into the flour, then add the
milk, salt and soda, knead it down so long
as you can work in flour, then beat till it
blisters;, roll out, ent, and bake in a slow
men uuui murougmy uone. 11 tncanove
directions are strictly followed, yon will
have biscuits equal to the best of crackers,
and quite as inviting to the delicate appe
tite of the poor iuvulid. it.
To Wash Calico without Fading.
Infuse three giis of salt in funr quarts of
water; put the calico in while hot, and
leave it till cold, and in this way the col
ors are rendered permanent, and will not
fade by subsequent washing So says a
lady, who lias frequently made ttic experi
ment.
Tomato Catmp.—Take half a bushel of
tomatoes, cut them in two, lay thou in a
dish, sprinkle a little salt over them, and
let them stand three or four hours. Then
drain off the water, and put the tomatoes
into a preserving kettle with a pint of wa
ter ; let them stew two hours. Strain them
through a cullender, and put them back
into the kettle, with half a teacup of salt,
half an ounce of Cayenne pepper, one ounce
of doves, one ounce of nutmegs, one of
mace, and one quart of good white wine;
boil this oue hour. When cold, bottle it
and stop it tight.
Cure for Hog Cholera.—Take ton
grains of calomel, ten grains or copperas,
and ten drops of turpentine. Give it in
slop, or if the hog will not eat the slop,
drench him This remedy has been used
with great success. It is said to be a cer
tain cure,- if the animal is abie to swallow it
How to (Jure a Feign.—As we often see
friends suffering with these very trouble
some things, we publish the following for
them, which we have heard highly re
commended : As soon as the parts begin
to swell get the tincture of lobelia, and
wrap the part affected with a cloth satura
ted thoroughly with the tincture, and the
felon is dead. An old physician says he
Jaai known it to cure in a score of cases.
