The following accidently cam? In oar way, and though we do not know the author we know the sentiment is good : In speaking of a person's fault, Pruy don't forget your own; Remember, those with homes of glass Should seldom throw a stone; If we have nothing else to do <- ' Bat talk of those that sin, 'Tis better we commence at home, a And from that point begin. We have no right to judge a man Until he's fairly tried ; Should we not like hie company. We know the world Is wide: Some may have faults?and who has not? The old as well as young? t Perhaps we may, for ought we know, Have fifty to their one. I'll tell you of a better plan. And flod it worfcs fall well: To try my own defects to care Before of others tell; And tbough I sometimes hope to be No more than some I know, My own short-comings bid me let The faults of others go. Then let uh all when we commence To slander friend or foe, Think of the narm one word would do To those we little know; Remember, curses sometimes, like Our chickens, "roost at homo Don't speak of others' faults until We have none of our own. ?The Peacemaker. Mrs. Lacy Stone. Mrs. Lucy Stone in addition to her public work, was an accomplished bouse keeper, of the old New England type. She dried all the herbs ana put up all of the fruits in their seasou. She made her owu yeast, her own butter, her own dried beef, even her own soap. She always thought homemade soap was better than any she could buy. 8be wasan excellent oook, and her family never fared better than during oycasional interregnums between servants. All the purely womanly instincts were strong in her. Even in her old age her ideas about love were what most people would call romantic. She was as fond of a love story as any girl of sixteen?if it were a simple and innocent love story, that; for she had bad no patience with that class of modern novels whlcn turn upon the flirtations of married people. She was attracted b> chilbren all children, dirty or clean, pretty or ugly. Her face always beamed at the sight of a baby; and on countless occasions on boat or train, during her lecture tripe she helped worried and anxious mothers to care for and quiet a crying child. Children loved ner, and her arrival was always a festival among her young nephews and nieces.? Woman's Journal. A Damp Watch. In stepping from the sailboat to the shore Mr. Owen's foot slipped, and he went into the water. In an instaut he had scrambled out, and at once examined bis watch to see if it bad stopped. No; it was going just as usual, and continued to go for some days, wnen it stopped. He took it to a well known jeweler in the great metropolis and had it examined. As soon as the expert workman opened the watch he began to read the owner a lecture somewhat after this fashion: "The instant you f i -a f/* tKlnlr irnni* la JJUVtJ J CUaULl wvr kuiun jvMi ?*? ??? ?w wet or damp, drop it at once into alcohoi. The alcohol has a great affinity for water, and will carry it off; it wiu penetrate to every part of the watch without injuring it in the least, and when after a few minntes you remove the watch from the spirit, which will soon evaporate, the watch is as good as ever, and then you need not take it to a watch maker. It you can't drop it iuto alcohol, put it into kerosene." After getting the estimate of this jeweler as to the cost of repairs, Mr. Owen consulted another expert, and received the same lecture in substantially the same words. The timepiece was put in repair at a cost of eleven dollars. Tweuty cent's worth, or less, of alcohol, promptly applied would have saved the larger outlay if the owner had known what to do under the circumstances. ; Conquests of Modern Science.?Surely I have established my theory that I dirt is only matter in a wrong place. I Chemistry, like a thrifty housewife, (economizes every scrap. The horse shoe nails dropped in the streets are collected, and reappear in swords and guns. The main ingredient of the ink with which I now write was probably once the broken hoop of an old beer barrel. The clippings of the travelling tinker are mixed with the parings of horses' hoofs and the worst kinds of woolen rags, and these are worked up into an exquisite blue dye, which graces the dress of courtly dames. The dregs of port wine, carefully decanted by the toper, are taken in the morning as a seidliiz powder to remove the effect of the debauch.

All thrift of material is an imitation of the economy of na, ture, which allows do waste. Everything has its destined place iu the pro, cess of the universe, in which there | is not a blade of grass or even a microbe too much, if we possessed the knowledge to apply them to their fit ting purposes. i
