and cruelty of intemperance; those who are 
over sensitive of their own inability and lack 
of education, and are often reminded of it by 
others who are many years younger than 
themselves ; there are also others who are 
weary with life itself, because there is such a 
load of responsibility resting on their shoul¬ 
ders, and so seldom an encouraging word 
spoken to them, they feel so alone in this 
thickly inhabited world of ours. Day after 
day passes, and the darkness thickens around 
them; they do not know of ope friend with 
whom to share the gloomy pathway of life, 
and are ready to exclaim with the poet: 
“ Would my life were at an end. 
Or that. Fate 
Would giro me tmt one friend. 
E'er too late, 
“ For my life is sounblest, 
I could welcome either guest, 
A Friend, or heath, and Rest, 
So I wait!" 
So weary was Christ as he went toiling 
slowly up the mount, bearing his own cross, 
that even his enemies had compassion on him, 
and laid bis burden on Simon. 
Christ is the one friend who all weary toil¬ 
ing ones need to become acquainted with ; 
try him, and you will find in him a willing 
friend—one who will take your burdens upon 
himself, and is never too weary to lighten 
your load, as his own invitation is, “ Come 
unto me and I will give you rest.”

A BEAR IN THE HOUSE. 
The dining-room door shut with a slam, 
and instantly the free-and-easy chat that had 
been going on within ceased. The children 
Lad been so much engaged they bad not 
noticed those creaking boots Of father’s as he 
descended the stairs; they would have hushed 
up sooner if they had. He entered with the 
accustomed scowl on his face. 
“ Five minutes late again with breakfast,” 
be said severely as hiB hurried aud worried 
wife placed the juicy steak on the table, 
Bridget following with the side-dishes. 
“ Children take your places,” he said with 
a snap in his voice like a whip-lash. 
The grace that followed was almost a mock¬ 
ery, I fear, so little was there in it of the 
Loving Father's spirit. To be told that God 
was their Father was no pleasing suggestion 
to those children. The meal was taken in 
silence, exempt for an occasional reproof from 
the autocrat to the children, some fling at his 
wife’s management of domestics and the 
household genefhlly, some withering speech 
about the miserable breakfast. She was a 
meek woman, and the little spirit she may 
once have had was long ago crushed out. If 
she had been as strong-minded as some I have 
known there would have been considerable 
racket about that house at times, or else an 
improvement in manners. He was a husband 
and father of the growling-bear type. The 
only good time of the day was when he was 
out of the house. 
The children began to dance about and re¬ 
joice the moment he had fairly turned the 
corner. They were pretty free in their com¬ 
ments too, aud the poor mother had not the 
heart to reprove them for tbeir unfllial speech¬ 
es. In her heart sue, too, was glad when the 
door closed after him and it was pretty cer¬ 
tain he would not be around again before 
noon. Away from home he was a civil man, 
at least among business men with whom he 
dealt. He knew better than to put ou such 
surly airs among them, Self interest can 
modify a man’s behavior even if he is uatur- 
ally bearish. It is true among his clerks he 
was a little apt to act the petty tyrant, but 
even there he knew well enough when it was 
safe and when not. A bearish man has it in 
his power to make a home very wretched, 
even if it is a palace. Such men are not 
greatly mourned, nor sadly mis.-ed, when they 
are taken away, even though the survivors 
array themselves in weeds a yard deep.

CONDUCTED BY EMILY MAPLE 
GOOD MANNERS ; CRUSTS. 
ANNIE L. JACK. 
This threadbare subject is very tantalizing, 
and yet when one meets people of ill-breediug 
or careless habits, it becomes a subject for 
wonder that more attention is not paid to the 
early training that will make the future man 
aud woman well behaved in private or public. 
I am sure it must occur to every one that there 
is a want of fine delicacy of feeling in speaking 
to anyone on the very subject that will vex 
or wound them: yet how many have the tact 
to avoid such a theme ? Indeed, it seems a 
common practice to notice personal defects 
and faults, to speak disparagingly of a party 
or sect of another if it is not the same as our 
own, and to speak in contemptuous tones of 
the opposite ticket. Did you ever meet a per¬ 
son who, while putting on airs of condescen¬ 
sion, talked to you without looking at you, or 
through another! Console yourself that while 
such people were thinking they were superior 
they were only ill-bred. I know men who would 
be angry if called uncultured, yet they spit on 
the floor, lift up their boot to nurse it ou their 
knee, and keep a knife constantly employed 
scraping their finger nails in company. Then 
to be yawned at in the face while speaking. 
Oh! give me patience in’such a case; for even 
if not an intentional rudeness, it belittles the 
speaker, and points out truly the social status 
of the listener. I do not mean to imply that 
one should never yawn, but there are yawns 
and yawns. 
One visitor at my table keeps me in a per¬ 
petual state of alarm, for I have seen the cup, 
with tea dripping from it, make a brown ring 
on my best table-clotb, the knife all covered 
with butter make a grease mark ou the same, 
and th 6 butter knife forgotten when needed. 
If eating soup, he keeps a continued “ slip, 
slop,” disdains the pudding course, eats plen¬ 
tifully of the fruit and wipes his hands on the 
tine white nipkin, quite regardless of the 
offered fruit-doily. Then he picks his teeth, 
and makes a disagreeable noise with his teeth 
and lips. Yet he talks eloquently, and is well 
read, and otherwise a pleasant guest. It is 
such examples as these that make one feel 
that what is written on good manners should 
be put into practice, and more attention be 
paid to early training on this important sub 
ject. 
“ Crusts!” said the cook. “That is the re¬ 
sult of too much game and poultry,” I 
answered, surveying the bread-box rather 
dubiously. The brown outer surface of sev¬ 
eral loaves met my gaze, and I went at once 
to the soup stock. It was low, but enough I 
thought for a soup of this kind, so I put it on 
to boil with a few onions and a little flnely- 
shred thyme, cooked half an hour, and then 
put in the crusts. Before they became broken 
up I skimmed them out and pounded them 
fine, returning to the kettle with a little finely- 
chopped parsley and some seasoning; a 10 - 
minutes boil, and it is ready. We prefer to 
use the crusts in this way to that nursery 
stand-by, a'bread-pudding, to which some of 
the children took a dislike when away from 
home. I have succeeded, however, in making 
a very palatable pudding by soaking the 
crusts in a pint of milk, and, after scalding, 
beating to a mush. Butter a puddiug dish, 
pour about half of the mush on the bottom, 
then beat up a light custard, and pour half, 
without boiling, on top of the bread; then 
the mush, and then the rest of the custard, 
which may be flavored to suit the taste. Dis¬ 
guised in this way, crusts are never rejected. 
Happy is that family whose children are 
taught to eat what is set before them, ana 
have appetite for all of the bread. It is a sig¬ 
nal of good health and speaks well for their 
future when they do not require the Domestic 
Economist to spend too much time aud labor 
in “gathering up the fragments.” 
PICTURES, BEDS AND BLUEING, 
M. b. m’l. 
.Some of the old-fashioned colored pic¬ 
tures which were really treasures to the 
children can be renewed by cutting off all the 
white papers, following the outlines of the 
dress, face or animal, whatever it may be; 
then touch the back of it with a bit of paste, 
and glue it to a piece of black alpaca some 
two or three inches larger than the picture or 
the size of some frame you happen to have, 
and frame, of course, under glass. Colored 
chromos are improved by cutting off the 
white margin. 
The children will manage to get the under 
sheet off the "mattruss, so I put on three, the 
under one cross-wise. 
Always make your rinse water very blue 
for bedding or calico dresses; it makes them 
look clearer. I use Chinese blueing. It is al 
ways ready and so cheap. 
Chinese blue, pulverized, one ounce; oxalic 
acid, pulverized, one-fourth ounce; soft water, 
one quart. Let stand two weeks before using, 
shaking often. This amount will last a long 
time, and the expenseia only about oue shiiling.
