Be Caretal What Ton Say.
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.
This offal of the streets and tbe wasti

served in the lady's smelling bottle, or
are used by ber to flavor blanc manges
for her friends. 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.
