ENEAS RESTORED TO HEALTH. 
BY SOPHIA 0. GARRETT, 
[Acta, ix Chap. 33—34 Fcraes.] 
Fob eight long years, the suffering Eneas lay 
In weariness upon bis lowly bed. 
When morn's first rosy flush 
With soft, fair light, lUum’ed the eastern hills, 
He slowly raised his drooping head. 
And from the open casement gazed 
Upon the scene that mot liis longing eyes 
Wher’er he turned them. 
Around him stood fair dwellings 
Wreathed with graceful vines and fragrant flowers, 
AndBhadod by majestic trees, 
Among whose branches gleamed rare tempting fruit; 
All gemmed with countless drops of glittering dew; 
And theso in wondrous beauty met his raptured gaze, 
For eight, sad, weary years 
Had he looked forth upon the varied scene 
Of blushing morns in early spring. 
Or wheu bright summer glorified the earth; 
But never seemingly before 
Had they revealed themselves to him 
With such enchanting loveliness 
As on that fair sweet morning. 
When the noble man of God 
Sought out his lowly couch 
Where he had lain so patiently 
Eight slowly pausing years, 
And said to him: “ Eneas, 
Jesus Christ. ninkoth thee whole! 
Arise and make thy bed.” 
O, words of wondrous meaning! 
Miraculous the change they wrought 
Upon the palsied Eneas. 
He rose with thankful heart 
And walked abroad in health, 
With manhood’s strength and vigor, 
Like u new joyous being 
Endued with life a-frosh, 
By the. Ail-Wise Creator. 
GRAPES AND THORNS. 
We must not hope to be mowers 
And to gather the ripe gold ears, 
Until we have first been sowers. 
And watered the furrows with tears. 
Is it not Just as we take it— 
This mystical world of ours f 
Life’s field will yield, as we make It, 
A harvest of thorns or flotvers '.—Alice Carey. 
REMEMBRANCE OF GOD’S NAME. 
“ I nave remembered Thv name, O Lord, in the 
night, and have kept Thy law."—Psalm cxix. 55. 
We remember many things when awake In the 
night; indeed, it Is often the activity ot memory 
that keeps ua from sleeping at that season; and well 
Is it for us, It, like the l’salmlst, we can so employ 
those wakeful and oiten weary hours, as toilnd 
the highest, refreshment In them, by making them 
seasons of communion with God The remem¬ 
brance of Ula character; It means the thought of 
all that He is to us, as our Father in Chirst Jesus, 
all wise lo guide, all merciful, all good, all sut- 
flelent; there Is much here to afford food for re¬ 
membrance. It means, too, a remembrance <f all 
that lie has been to ua, of all that lie has done ror 
us, of all that lie has revealed to us in the past. 
“ Commune with your own heart upon your bed, 
and be stUl ” when you thus remember the name 
or the I-ord! For such remembrance may be sor¬ 
rowful, yet It opens the door to pure and holy 
gladness to all those who love Ills name. T hink 
also of all He has promised to do for us! this opera 
a wide Held. 
But If in the night watches there is comfort In 
such remembrance of God, stlU more In the night 
of affliction, when oppressed by sorrow, bereave¬ 
ment, anxiety or sickness, do we find In the re¬ 
membrance of this name a strong support. For 
true it is, and wlU ever he, that “ the name of the 
Lord Is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into 
It, and Is safe.” And though we may truly say, 
“But, alas, I am not righteous 1” the revelation 
of this name as revealed In Jesus Christ the 
righteous, through whom we have access and 
acceptance with the Father, is a ground of confi¬ 
dence for the sinner which can never be shaken. 
Through Ills dear Hon the Lord has made Himself 
known to us; “ the only begotten Son, which Is In 
the bosom of the Father, lie hath declared Him.” 
- 
Dear, patient workers for Jesus, look up for the 
grace that Is sufficient for all difficulties and all 
discouragements, and look on by faith to the day 
when you shall see, what God asks you perhaps 
now to take on trust, that ‘‘your labor Is not In 
vain In the Lord.” 
In that day you shall find how the long years of 
"ploughing were not lost, but were most surely 
preparing the way for the precious seed; how 
every grain you once scattered for Him, watered 
by your prayers, and perhaps by your tears, has 
been guarded and watched over by your Lord, and 
turned Into golden sheaves, ft) be laid down by 
you In the day of harvest at his feet, saying, “Not 
unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name 
he the glory,” 
-»•»■»- 
“ He knows.” What a wonderful confidence In 
His hean and resources Is silently Implied In that 
word! If He knows that you need, you may be 
quite sure that you will not want. “ lie knows;” 
and His fatherly heart la our guarantee that to 
know and to supply our need, are one and the same 
thing with him; and Uls deep treasure of exhaust- 
less good is our guarantee that our need can never 
go beyond Uls fulness, nor He ever, like us, see a 
sorrow He cannot comfort, a want that lie cannot 
meet. 
Truth, when it Is won, is the possession of the 
whole nature. By the action of the whole nature 
only can it be gained. The king must go with his 
counsellors at his side and his army at his back, or 
he makes no conquest. The Intellect must be sur¬ 
rounded by the richness of the affections and 
backed by the power of the will, or it attains no 
perfect truth .—Phitlips BrooKs. 
Take cmn fort! Earth is full of sin, 
But also full of God. 
The staff supports thy trembling- limbs, 
Willie falls the needed rod. 
There’s sorrow, and Jehovah; 
~ There’s toil, and blessed sleep ; 
Let smiles then blossom round your lips 
As aft as eyelids weep. 
“Did It ever strike you,” said one, “ what grand 
men we ought to be, who have been praying so 
many years?” If prayer to us has been a reality. 
If besides being petition it has been communion 
with God, how near him ought we to be by this 
time, and how like him ought we to have become. 
Communion with Christ should make us Chrlst- 
llke. 
—--- 
Many a true heart that would have come hack 
like a dove to the ark, after its first transgression, 
has been frightened beyond recall by the angry 
look and menace, the taunt, the savage charity 
of an unforgiving spirit. 
The laws of nature are not, as modern natural¬ 
ists seem to suppose, iron chains by which the 
living God, so to say, Is bound hand and foot, but 
elastic cords rather, which he can lengthen or 
shorten at his sovereign wUl .—Philip Sahajf 
Ip you tell your troubles to God, you put them 
Into the grave; they wlU never rise again when 
you have committed them to him. If you roll 
your burden anywhere else It will roll hack again 
like the stone of Sisyphus.— Spur aeon.

PEN THOUGHTS FROM “EVERY-DAY 
HOUSE.” 
ANNIE L. JACK. 
“ Let it alone," said our family naturalist, 
as a little visitor was inteut on stoning a small 
toad that was hiding under a currant busb. 
“ What for ?" queried the young citizeu, and 
the answer our country boy gave was—“ Be¬ 
cause he is one of our best workers and asks 
no wages." The same two lads exchanged the 
same kind of remarks over a lace-winged fly 
that was deemed a fit victim for torture, and 
it occurred to me, as 1 listened, what a pity 
that among other 'ologies children are not 
taught to know friends from enemies in the 
insect world. We cherish the toads in our 
garden as a company of useful scavengers, and 
do not like to see them injured. A friend of 
mine, whose dahlias were troubled by slugs, 
found that by sowing seeds of lettuce around 
every plant, the slugs would feed on them and 
not touch the dahlias. Wheu the latter get 
strong and hardy, the lettuce can be hoed out. 
We have to study these things when engaged 
in land culture, and it is withiu the province 
of all the younger members of a family, to 
make this a practical part of their education. 
I always like to see the little girls in a house 
carry any specimen they may find of the (Jalo- 
sonia to their house plants, for nothing is 
more useful to clear plauts of the green aphis 
than these pretty little spotted creatures. A 
large rose busb that had been housed all winter 
and subjected to repeated tobacco fumigations 
was cleared ot insects this 6priug as soon as 
set outrof-doors by a pair of yellow birds, that 
made its leaves a daily resort for food. The 
knowledge of these things is very useful to 
amateur florists and gardeners and a part, I 
thiuk, of household economy, for it is indeed 
an adornment to every home to have clean 
and insect-free plants, that add to the beauty 
of home and every-day life.

HOW I SAVE MY SLEEVES. 
ALICE P. ADAMS. 
To me it is always aggravating in the ex¬ 
treme when I have put on a clean calico to be 
obliged to roll up my sleeves while I wash the 
breakfast dishes aud perform suudry house¬ 
hold duties. Wheu I take them down they are 
full of wrinkles, soon become limp and soiled, 
aud my dress has to be washed long before it 
would otheiwise become necessary. More¬ 
over, fashiouable sleeves are so small that it is 
almost impossible to push them above the el¬ 
bow. 
I have known women who never ro.led their 
sleeves and yet always looked as neat as a 
pin, but mine have to go up, or else they are 
spitted and splashed—that Is, until lately. 
One day, when passiug the Chinese store in 
Los Angeles, a bright thought came to me, and 
I went in and iuquired lor the straw Chinese 
cuffs that men use to protect their wrists 
when pruning orange trees, etc. 
I selected the smallest pair, for which I paid 
25 cents, aud as they were rather loose, wheu 
I reached home I sewed on each a small tag of 
drilling. Now I save both my sleeves aud 
temper, for every morning when I commence 
my work I slip on my cuffs, fasten the bits of 
drilling to my sleeves with safety-pins, and 
there they are, and generally stay until I am 
ready to put on an afternoon dress. I don’t 
think I have once rolled up a sleeve since mv 
purchase was brought home; I never even take 
off my linen cuffs when I wash the supper 
dishes, and I Dever had so few holes to patch, 
for they are a protection against wear as well 
as dirt. 
I do not know whether these cuffs cun be 
procured in the East or not, but if so I would 
advise each of the Rural sisters to invest in a 
pair, for though they cannot, strictly speak¬ 
ing, be called “things of beauty,” they are "a 
joy forever.”

SUGGESTIONS. 
Rectified benzine for moths. 
Keep a bonquet of fresh flowers upon your 
dining-table. 
Scales of fish may be loosened by pouriDg 
hot water over the fish. 
Why not butter the edges of slices of toast 
bread, as well as the center ? 
Housekeepers, fresh fruit has come. Do 
away with pies and puddings. 
In cooking fish, preserve the shape if possi¬ 
ble. It improves the appearance, it not the 
flavor. 
Never make jelly in damp or cloudy weather 
—it will be neither firm nor clear. 
If you roast your own coffee, do it with the 
greatest of care, as herein lies the secret of 
success in coffee making. 
To young housekeepers we would say that 
in cooking it is far better to have a few, very 
few, dishes delicately and carefully prepared 
than to provide more and have them Jess in¬ 
viting. 
Of the numberless and worthless remedies 
for gettiug rid of red ants that annually go the 
rounds, that of sprinkling guano upon the 
pantry shelves is one of the latest. 
Cure for a Felon. 
I believe it is better to scatter a felon, there¬ 
by saving pain and trouble. The following 
prescription I had from an old lady, with the 
affirmation that in the course of a long life, 
she had never known it to fail if applied in 
season, aud I can add the same, having had an 
opportunity to test it several times iu my 
own family—the last time, only the past week, 
aud with complete success. The first time 1 
tried it the felon had been in progress severul 
days, and become very painful, with red 
streaks running up the arm, while in the arm- 
pit the glands were swollen, forming what is 
commonly known as kernels ; but after two 
days’ application of the plaster, the swelling 
and pain ceased, aud the felon was “no 
more.” Take equal parts of lard, soap, salt, 
and spirits of turpentine. Shave the soap, 
and mix with the other ingredients, aud apply 
as a plaster. Some use kerosine, where tur¬ 
pentine is not at hand, but I perfer the turpen¬ 
tine. If the skin Is thick it is well to soak in 
hot lye before applying the plaster.

DOMESTIC RECIPES. 
Pickled Cherries. 
Take fine ripe cherries with stems on, and 
to each quart allow a pint of good vinegar and 
a eoffeecupful of white sugar. Boil sugar 
aud vinegar together ten minutes, skimming 
as needed. Pour cold over the cherries. 
Spice may be added if you please, but the 
stones give a pleasant flavor of themselves. 
Raspberry Jam. 
Clean the fruit aud crush thoroughly —this 
prevents its becoming hard. Boil 15 minutes 
before adding sugar—three-quarters of a pound 
of sugar to a pound of fruit—aud then boil 30 
miuuteB longer. Jams require almost con¬ 
stant stirring, and a small wooden paddle with 
a handle at right angles is the most convenient 
article I know of to do this with. 
Mrs. Brown. 
Drop Biscuit. 
One quart of fresh buttermilk ; one beaten 
egg ; two tablespoonsful of melted butter ; a 
little salt and a teaspoonful of 60 da. Flour for a 
stiff batter. Drop with a spoon into hot gem- 
pans aud bake in a quick oven. 
Dry Bread. 
To a cup of sweet milk add a little salt, a 
spoonful of sugar and a beaten egg. Into this 
dip slices of dry bread ; let soak a minute and 
fry on a buttered griddle uutil a light brown 
each side, Mrs. R. C. 
Croquettes of Fish. 
Remove all bones from dressed fish ; mince; 
add seasoning, aud for a small quantity add 
one egg beaten with a tcaspoouful of flour aud 
one of milk. Make into little balls; brush the 
outside with an egg, dredge with cracker 
crumbs, and fry to a deep brown. A nice 
gravy can be made by adding a pint of water 
and an onion to the bones, heads and tails; 
boil, season and thicken, Mary B. *
