The lizard, with his mouth-like eyes,
Peeps from the mortise in surprise
At such strange quiet day's harsh din ;
Then ventures boldly out,
And looks about,
And with his hollow feet
Treads, his small evening beat,
Darting upon his prey
In such a tricksy, winsome sort of way,
Hi# delicate marauding seems no sin.
And still the curtains swing,
But noiselessly ;
The bells a melancholy murmur ring,
As tears were in the sky ;
More heavily the shadows fall,
Like the black foldings of a pall,
Where juts the rough beam from the wall ;
The candles liare
With rresh gusts of air;
The beetle's drone,
Turns to a dirge-like, solitary moan ;
Night deepens, and I sit, in cheerless doubt
alone.

The biographer of Rogers, the poet,
observes of him : "No one has ever been
able to reproach him with the abandon-

It is equivalent to the confession that he
has either not had sense to detect the er-

them.
The other day one of widow B.'s admi-

Mrs. B.'s smart boy immediately spoke

Hints to Housekeepers.
Sanees.
Sauces are piquant preparations which
are used to impart a savory flavor to dish-
es, or to heighten their relish. They are
various; indeed, through the ingenuity and
skill of cooks, they may almost be termed
innumerable.
Each sauce should have its peculiar fit
vor, which should either amalgamate wit
or be in agreeable eoncrast to, the disl
with which it is served.
The foundation of most sauces is meltet
butter ; the other ingredients are varied
according to the viands they are to be use<
with.
Tomatoes, parseley, mushrooms, oyster
and an infinite variety of other substances
are employed in this portion of cook
ery.
As sauces spoil by standing long afte
they are made, they should be preparei
last and served hot.
Melted Butter—Put a tablespoonful o
flour into a clean saucepan, mix it careful
ly with a little water at the time, till yo>
have about a cupful, now cut into it,in smal
pieces, four ounces of butter, shake it raj:

Swan's series of reading and spelling books
are now extensively used in the best schools of
the United States. Having been familiar with
this series for several years, I have no hesitation
in recommending them to the teachers of our
State. Green's First Lessons in Grammar and
Green's Analysis are, in my opinion, the best
works published on this subject, to aid youth in
acquiring a knowlege of the structure dfour
language.
These and other books published by the same
enterprising house, are now taking the place in
schools of works of a similar kind.
