THE PARLOR LIGHT 
“For finish ami elegant workmanship, as well ns 
for power, elasticity or touch anil sweetness of tone, 
It stands unrivaled."- The hiheral Christian, N. 1'., 
the. 18, 1809. 
“Its full, round tone, unsurpassed for purity anil 
power, makes It an especial fuvorlte."—T he Inilrpeud- 
tnt, X. V., Unit. 22, 1870. 
“ It contains every Improvement that rocs to nmke 
a ttrsl class piano.'’. The Christian Union, IV. 1'., 
Sept. 24. 1870. 
“Its superior dualities of tone. Its excellence of 
workmanship, anil the beauty of lls finish, are rap¬ 
idly extending Its popularity."- The Simulant, Clii - 
enyn, Oct. 6, 1870, 
"Come, mother, let’s it o In the parlor to-night: 
Just for fun let us see the chandelier's light; 
There's what-not and pictures not seen In so long- 
Plcnso, mother, let's go awhile-Just for the fuu !’’ 
o yes, mother, please do; we will he very neat, 
We’ll he sure that there Is no dust on our feet, 
One will sit on the lounge, one In the big chair, 
l’lease, we'll not ask again—not In a whole year!’’ 
*' Why,hoys, this lsstrange, when you very well know 
I so often have told you decidedly—No ! 
I’ve Just swept It out and fastened the door 
To keep out smoko and dust, so tease me no more. 
The kitchen’s the place where hoys ought to he, 
The parlor is only for grand company i 
The drawer you have for your books and toys, 
lint you know the parlor Is no place for boys." 
So the gauxe-shroudod pictures were hidden from 
sight, 
And the gilt chandelier gleamod In the dim light; 
No light of Its own ever cheered the lone room, 
No visitors came hut the wife and her broom. 
And the parlor was dark. As years went and came, 
Age gnawed at the draperies, spiders grew tame, 
Hast tarnished the lamps, the cushions were torn 
With the brush, for human touch never had worn.

A telegram sped over mountain and plain. 
And brought a wild youth to tils old home agntn. 
The years had engraved vice on his broad brow. 
The flush on each check told the talo of its woo, 
A glance told the story, as the fond mother said, 
My son you’re too late, your brother Is dead!" 
glia rend In that glance her sole comfort and stay 
Was but naught; the other, a iiuibb of cola clay. 
The chandelier shone In bright splendor at eve. 
And the stellar lamps peacefully shone on a grave. 
Hut this parlor had lost all Its charms for the one 
Hstrangod from Its pleasures in childhood's bright 
morn. 
“ Oh! slay at your home; stay, stay, O my son! 
For the sake of your mother, whose race Is soon run!” 
"If* so dark there !" he orlod, and the low rumbling 
train 
Sped away anil the parlor was darkened again.

A i,low me to way a word in reference to 
plants as being healthful in sleeping rooms. 
I learned while studying botany that under 
the Sulluencc of direct solar light, plants 
absorb carbonic add and give off oxygen, 
and in the absence of the same they absorb 
oxygen, and it is decomposed and carbonic 
acid is given off. One strong proof of lliis 
is that plants grown in a cellar, or any dark 
place, where they receive little or no light, 
are very light in color. The cause of this 
is that they continue to absorb oxygen and 
expel carbon, and having no light, absorb 
very little carbon, and this being the color¬ 
ing to the leaf, it is easily seen why the 
plant is so pale. An example of this 
can he seen by a potato that, lias sprouted in 
the cellar, These things being correct, and 
proving that all plants give oil" carbonic 
acid in the night lime, I should infer plants 
would not lie healthful in sleeping-rooms.—

As il is time to take in the house plants, 
three or four different varieties may he kept 
in one basket made of a wooden howl—some 
folks call them “chopping howls," Get 
some wild grape vines from the woods about 
the size of your linger and as long as possi¬ 
ble, and then beginning at the outer edge, 
tack the vine on every three or four inches 
with a brad — the brads are best, ns they 
have no heads, and will not show ; then, as 
you coil it around and come near the cen¬ 
ter, put some pieces in lengthways, and if 
you don't, say you are paid for your labor 
you are lazy. This kind of a hanging basket 
will last three or four years, and is nice nut 
or indoors. If you like artificial work, then 
you cun make a hanging basket in this way: 
Get ft large round box at Hie dry goods or 
millinery store (or for a small one, use a col¬ 
lar box;) suspend it by three cords; get a 
horn from the tannery and scrape it with 
broken glass until you get. a pile of scrap¬ 
ings, w hich you most glue all over the box 
thickly; this will he as while as snow, and 
look nice for years; till this with artificial 
(lowers or dried grasses, and it will give a 
pleasing effect. 
1 tried Ella’s cake recipe, and found it 
very good. Next time I write I will tell 
you how to spend a profitable evening after 
corn-husking iB over, and also how to make 
some more ornaments, I am fourteen years 
old, hut don’t call myself a young lady yet,, 
as some do at. that age, and am willing to 
be classed among the “ young folk w," and 
wear short dresses. —Akaminta.

Ah all the little girls are writing for your 
paper, 1 thought 1 would write and tell how 
to make sonic nice ornaments. They are 
easy, and 1 know any of tho girls can make 
them, with a little assistance from their big 
brothers, Al this season, when the leaves 
are turning from green to the autumn tinge, 
and such a variety of shades can he gat hered, 
a great, many handsome ornaments may lie 
made from them. For instance, we take 
some leaves of the. maple, of a lemon color, 
and some almost red, and put them between 
the leaves of a hook until dry and well sea¬ 
soned; they will hold their color. Now 
take a box, paint it. black, and when dry, 
gum on the leaves in tm ornamental way; 
then give them a coat of isinglass dissolved 
in water, and when perfectly dry, varnish 
the whole box, giving it two or three coals 
of copal varnish, and you have a nice or¬ 
nament. 
For small boxes, use small leaves, like the 
willow, and for large ones, the larger leaves. 
A wood-box can la; made very nice for the 
parlor in this manner. Flower potscan also 
he ornamented Hie same way.
