\Multum in Pa Vol. 2. No 12. RUSH, N. Y. Thursday May 19,1881. 35 cts. a Year. Twilight. Softly the tinkling bells King through the heather dells, As o'er the meadows green, Homeward the kine are seen Winding their way. Betty, the milkmaid fair, Tosses her bonny hair, All in the after glow, As Summer's sun sinks low At close of day. Slowly the shadows, deep, Up from the woodlands creep, Whisp'ring that night is here, Folding both far and near In garb of gray. Breaking so softly bright, Shedding their twinkling light O'er grassy hill and dale, Star points, all silver pale, Assert their sway, ' 11 » > >•• Pure Food. It is no economy to use inferior food. It is a saving of money, and time, and health, to give a higher price for what we eat, and have it fresh and peifect, than to obtain it for less on account of its being wilted, or old, or partially decayed. Some people prefer to make their meat tender by keep- ing it, which means that decomposition is taking place; in plainer phrase, it is rot- ting. Such meats require less chewing, and may appear very tender, but it is a physio- logical fact that they are not digested as easily or quickly as solid, fresh meat. When a vegetable begins to wilt it is no longer that vegetable because a change of particles has taken place, and in such pro- portion it is unnatural—it is dead—and to eat it tends toward death, one of the most horrible forms of disease is caused by eating sausages which have been kept a long time; more common in Ger- many than elsewhere. Scarcely anything saddens us so much in passing through some of the by-streets and the more east- ern avenues, as the sight of the long-kept meats and shriveled vegetables, which are sold to the unfortunate poor at the corner Dutch groceries. But the poverty-stricken are not the only sufferers, the richest men come in for their share, for themselves and for their families, in proportion as the mis- tresses of their splendid mansions are in- competent or inattentive to those house- hold duties, the proper performance or neg- lect of which makes all the difference be- tween a true wife and a contemptible doll. With all the high-sounding advantages of \Young Ladies' Boarding schools,\ and \Institutes and with all the twaddle a- bout learning French and German and mu- sic and aesthetics, how many of these paint-like girls are any more fit.to take charge of a man's household than to navi- gate a ship, or calculate a parallax ? —Hall's Journal of Health. —The industry of tying strings to busi- ness tags, bugun twenty years ago by a wo- man at Falmouth, Mass., now employs over three hundred persons.
