RELIQIOUS.
WH SHALL KNOW.
When tbe mists liave rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine, "arm and tender,
Falls in kisses in the nils.
We may read love's shining letter,
In the rainbow of the sp'ay ;
We shall know each other better
When the mists have cleared away.
Wo shall know as we are known,
Nevermore to walk ah ne,
In tbo dawning ol the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
If we err in human blindness,
And forget that we are duBt,
If we miss the law of kindness.
When we struggle to be just,
snowy wings ol peace shall cover
All tho pain that clouds our day,
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Nevermore to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning.
When the mists have cleared away.
When the silvery mists havo veiled us
From the faces of our own,
Oft we deem their lore has failed us,
And we tread our path alone ;
We should see them near and truly,
We should trust them day by day,
Neither love nor blamo unduly.
If the mists were cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Nevermore to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the mists have risen above us,
As our Father knows his own,
Face to face ith those that love us,
We shall know as wo are kuown;
Love boyond the orient meadows
Floats the golden fringo of day,
Hearts to hearts we bide the shadows,
Till the mists have cleared away.
W Bhall know as we are known,
Nevermore lo walk alone,
When the day of light is dawning,
And tbe mists have cleared away.
A WOMAN'S QUESTION.
Do you know that you're asked for the cost'
liest thing
Ever made by the Hand above
A woman's heart and a woman's life,
And a woman's wonderful love ?
Do you know that you have asked for the
priceless thing
As a child might ask for a toy ?
Demanding what others have died to win,
With the reckless dash of a boy.
You have written my lesson of duty out,
Man-like yuu havo questioned me
Now stand at tne bar of my woman's soul
Until I shall question thee.
You require that your mutton should always
be hot,
Your socks and yrur shirts shall be whole;
I require your heirt to be true as God'a stars,
And pure a heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton and beef;
I require a far better thing;
A seamstress you're wanting tor stockings and
snirts,
I look for a man and a king.
A king for a beautiful realm called home,
A man that the Maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did the tirst,
And say "It is very good."
I am fair add young, but tho rose will fade
From my soft young cheek one day;
Will you love me then, 'mid the falling leaves,
As yoivdid 'mid the bloom of May ?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and deep
I may launch my all on its tide ?
A loving woman finds a heaven or hell
On the day she is made a bride.
I require all things that are good and true,
All things that a man should be;
If you givc.tliis all, I would stake my lifo
To be all you demand of me.
If you cannot do this a laundress and cook
You can hire with little to pay;
But a woman's heart and a Oman's life
Are not to be won that way.

CHOICE RECEIPES.
To Make Good Cider Vinegar. Take 10
gallons apple juice fresh from the press, and
suffer it to ferment fully, which may bo in
about two weeks, or sooner if the weather is
warm; then add 8 gallons like juice, new, for
producing a second termination: in 2 weeks
more add another like new quantity, for pro
ducing a third fermentation. This third fer
mentation is material. Now stop the bunghole
with an empty bottle, with the neck down
ward, and expose it to the sun far some time
When the vinegar is come, draw off one-half
into a vinegar cask, and set it in a cool place
above ground for us", when clear. With the
other halt in the first cask, proceed to make
more vinegar in the same way. Thus one cask
is to make in, the other to uce from. When
making tho vinegar, let there be a moderate
degree of hrat and free access of external air.
The process is hastened by adding to the ci
der, when you have it, a quantity of the
mother of vinegar; as it is called a whitish,
ropy coagulum, of a mucilaginous appearance,
which is formed in the vinegar and acts as a
ferment The strength of vinegar depends on
the amount of sugar or starchy matter to be
ultimately converted into acetic acid.
Washing Fluids Stains. The following
will be found useful to houiekeepers obliged
to .do their own washing, as it greatly lessens
the work at tho rubbing board, besides bleach
ing, removing stains, and rendering the
clothes clearly and beanifully white. Those
who have made continuous use of it for years
tell me there is nothing whatever to appre
hend; that verily it will not rot, yellow or
otherwise prove injurious to the clothes. Its
cheapnesi is also another recommendation, a
' few e nt' worth being sufficient to last an ordinary-sized
family for weeks i Take one
pound of potash; one ounce of salts of am
monia snd one ounce of ualts of tartar; dis
solve the potash in three-fourths of a gallon of
water; let it come to a boil, then add the silts
of ammonia. Pot into a jug, tben add the
salts of tartar, and cork the jug. Put the
clothes to soak over night iu strong suds. Hub
through lightly in tho morning. Put enough
toft water in the boiler for one boiler full of
clolhc. When it gets quite warm add half a
teacupful of the washing fluid no soap. Put
in the clothes and boil twenty minutes, or
half an hour. Suds tho clothes on the rubbing
board and rinse as usual. If there is a second
boiler of clothes, add a little more of the fluid,
For remoaing stains from the hands, mix
equal quantities of oxalio acid and cream of
tartar, and keep in a covered box. When
used, dip the finders in warm water and rub
on a small portion of the powder, then wash
the bands in soft, warm water. Oxalio acid is
a poison, and care should be taken to keep i
out of children's reach.
To prepare sweet corn quite as nicely as if
canned, and without the fear of failure, take
it freili from the stalks and put it iu a I oiler
of cold water, with tho husks on. Let the
water come to a boiline point, but not pass it.
Take the ears out, strip off the husks and cut
the grains 'of corn down through the middle,
and then from the cob, scraping off nil that
remains upon it. Placo it in a dripping pan
some stout brown Taper and put the corn up
on it in thin layers, and then put it in a rather
cool oven and stir it frequently for fift-en or
twenty minutes, when take it out, and spread
on a cloth upon boards or tins, stirring it of
ten tho first day, and taking it in at night.
Let it dry thoroughly, which will bo known
by the tattling sound of the dried kernels.
PI ice in paper bags and keep in a dry, cool
place.
String Beans for Winter. Cut up string
beans while young, and parboil them, drain
them through a colander, and then dry them
with a towel. When perfectly dry, spread
them out on a cloth, on a board or tins, and
put them in the sun to dry, stirring' them of
ten, and taking thun in, place them in a ury
place over night. They will take several days
to dry, and will require groat care in stirring,
but will, amply repay you for all trouble by
tho very nice dish of stewed string beans you
can havo when wintry winds blow.
The Use of Tin Cans. In putting up jellies
and jams, old tin caus may be utilized, and
will bo found ti answer the purpose as well as
glass or stone ware. Condensed milk cans
that have been carefully opened, I find are
among the best sort for this use. The tin of
which they are made is rather heavier, and of
better quality than most other cans, although
I have used the cans from which preserved
meats and fish have been taken, and even
bakiug powder cans, only in using these last 1
let the jam get quite cool befure putting it in,
as tins that arc made to hold dry powders may
not be soldered quite close. These cans are
very nice, on account of their having covers.
In covering the open cans, put a thin laaer of
butter or oil over the top and then a thin pa
per, before tying or sealing a heavy brown
paper over the top. A great many of the pre
serves of commerce are now being put up in
tins.
A convenient article to have in the closet is
a bag to keep soiled clothes in. It takes less
room than a basket, which is a point to be
considered, and then it need not be so un
sightly either. Take one breadth of calico a
yard and a half long, lay it smoothly on a
table, and on it place a piece of white cotton
cloth the same width and length; on this lay
another breadth of calico; baste these to
gether at the edge, and then bind it all atound
with braid; shir the top, and in it put a piece
of wood or a very stiff wire; a flat stick is
hotter, however a piece of a curtain stick,
for instance so it will bear the weight of the
clothing. Then on each side, in the calico,
cut a long slit through which the soiled gar
ments are to be put; bind tho edges of these
with braid. A bag made of drab calico bound
with red braid looks well. Fasten loops of
braid to tho top to hang it up by.
Handsome toilet sets, which are suitable
for wedding presents, are made of plush and
satin; a large, square cushion, with half of
the cover of pale blue plush, and tho other
half of satin of the same color, is simply eje
gant. Join the two parts of the cover iliago
nally through the center. On the satin corner
put a cluster of pink buds, in embroidery or
hand-painting, and trim the edge with wide,
Spanish lace. Cover the bottom with plush;
tie them at the top with narrow satin ribbocs;
they need no other decoration. A night-drees
case made to match, and having the mono
gram of the bride upon it is very handsome.
For less important occasions the cushions and
bottles may be covered with cardinal plush.
Instead of making the cover for the cushion
of satin and plush, put a broad band of fancy
ribbon diagonally across the cover. Scent
sachets made to match are pretty, and may
be fastened by a loop of ribbon to tho toilet
glass.
Sage and other herbs which you wish to
keep for use iu the winter should be gathered
on a dry day. If they are perfectly dry when
gathered you can sift them at once, and with
very little trouble. Put them away in tin
cans (the cans in which prepared cocoanut
comes are nice for this purpose); keep them
where it is dry. Herls which you do not care
to sift can be tied in bundles and bung up
after the fashion of our grandmother i.
A pretty obair back is made of an antique
lice stripo put oyer silk. Have the lace in
the center and on the silk stripes of the same
width at each side; embroider a pretty vine.
This is lovely, made of the lace and
blue tilk, with sprays of small pink buds, or
of cardinal satin with daisies and buttercups
embroidered on it. The top' is turned down
and hemmeJ, and'the bottom may be finished
with Uce, or be made in points with a tassel
on each point.
Grease spots can be removed from silk by
sprinkling French chalk on the spot and lay
ing the garment away on a shelf in a dark
closet If the stain is obttinate this may have
to be repeated. la ordinary cases this will be
sufficient, but where the grease is not fresh
and has spread it maybe taken out by placing
blotting-paper over it and applying a hot iron
to it. Do not let the iron stand on it 1 ng, and
it must not bo very hot, as there is danger of
the color of the silk being changed.
A delicate frosting for loaf cake is made of
half a tcacuptul of water, three cups of sugar,
and the whites of two eggs. Iloid the sugar
and water till it is white and begins to luok
like wax. Beat the white of the -ggs, and,
taking tho syrup from the tire, stir in the
eggs, and heat them in it till tho syrup is
cool. When co6l add half a pound of sweet
almonds, blanched and powdered or chopped
fine. For a small cake haff the quantity
here given will be sufficient. In placo of
the almonds you may, for the sake of vari
ety, chop a quarter of a pound of citron
very fine, and beat in the frosting. This
makes a nice filling lor layer cake.
Home Adornments.
A Shelf Lambrequin. If you havo a rounh,
uncouth shelf in your kitchen or sitting-room,
first cover the top neatly with some dark,
smorth cloth; then take a strip of dark but
bright, duuble-faced Canton flannel, about
eight inches in depth (more or less according
to length and width of shelf), and long enough
ta reach across the front of tho shelf and
around at either end; baste a pretty, con
trasting stripe of cictonne through the center,
snd stitch it on with the machine; hem the
lower edge of the flannel, and finish with as
pretty a wors'ed flinge as you can afford;
bring the uprcr edge np over tho edge i f the
board and make fast with iniuuto iron tacks,
and you will havo not only a convenient re
ciptacle for lamps, books or vases of flowers,
b it an addition to the furnishing of tho loom
in thn shape of a very artistic and eye-pleas
ing shelf.
A Corner Bracket. Have a plain, pretty-
shaped shelf not too large put up across
the corner of your room. Cover the top nicely
with dark, smooth cloth; then take a piece of
fine, firm satin wine colrr, brown, or any
rich and very dark color of the proper width
and length for the front piece to the shelf;
paint near ono end of this a white garden lily
with a bit of the stalk and two ox three of the
slender green leaves; near the other end a
sprig of blue-bells, and in the center a small
bouquet of yellow, wluto and purple pansies.
Line with buckram or paddjng to Btiflen;
him the bottom, and finish with a hand
soino fringe to match; fasten up around the
edge of the shelf. If you lack the skill or
time to do the hand-painting nicely, procure
instead a card of tho small variety pictures
now so much used for such purposes; cut
out carefully, paste neatly, and finish as
above.
Cretonne Tidy. Take a ptetty strip of
striped cretonne; cut two pieces about eighteen
inches long; take a piece of brown, blue
crimson or bluff velvet (or any color that
will contrast prettily with the cretonne), and
cut a strip of it of the same length and
width as the ctetonne; sew the three to
gether, the velvet in tho center, and em
broider a small vino up and down cither edge
of tho velvet, or feather-stitch a Vine if you
cannot embroider or find this too much work.
Cut each of the three strips at one end (or
at both ends, according to the way yon fasten
the tidy on the chair) to a point; hem, and
finish the points with pretty silk or worsted
tassels.
Table Cover. Go to some store where you
can buy remnants of cretonne not the furni
ture cretonne, but a mnch less expensive
fabric, though similar in figure and style.
Tnese remnants you can obtain for a few
o nits each. Make such selections as will
harmonize pleasantly, or contrast agreeably;
harmony is better than contrast. Cut tlnse
into triangular pieces about a foot acre so. Set
these together, with a contrasting or harmo
nizing color of dress braid, feather-stitched ou
with worsted or silk. Finish with a flinge
as heavy and rich as your meaus will allow.
How to Take Out Fruit Stains.
At this season of the year the housekeper
is frequently annoyed by finding uapkins,
tablecloths, &u., stained by carelessness in
wiping the fingers before washing them. But
if tho stains are removed at once, by pouring
boiling water over them and letting the stains
remain in until they disappear, there will he
no further trouble. If they have been wetted
with Boap and water, or washed in warm
water, boiling water will not elTuco them.
Therefore many nico housekeepeis have their
table linen soaked in boiling water to remove
all stains before they are washeil and boded
in suds. Spread chloride of lima over the
stain, and then lay tho article upon tho grass,
so that the sunshine will heat it for a few
minutes, and it will remove any fruit stains;
but the linen must be washed in hot water at
occe, or it will injure the fabric. It is harm
leas if it is not allowed to remain ou the good
too long.
A bleacning liquid can be made and kept
bottled ready for uso at any time, by putting
four ounces of chloride of lime into a wide
mouthed glass jir, and then adding a little
water to dissolve it, and stirring it with a
small stick, not a spoon. After it is partly
dissolved, fill up the jar with water, and
cover it with th porcelaiu-lined metal cover,
and as some gas will be disengaged, it is well
to open it ouce or twice a day for a moment
or two, to let out tho gas. In two weeks
thero will be a clear solution that can be
poured off into a glass wino bottle, and kept
tightly corked in a dark place, wrapped up in
paper as light will injurd it. Alittloof this
solution will take out any stains, if you use it
as above stated.

TWILIGHT.
In the twilight alone I am sitting,
Anel fast through my memory are Sitting .
The dreams of "youth.
The futuro is smiling before me,
And hope's bright vision float o'er me,
Shall I doubt the r truth?
I know that my hopes may prove bubbles,
Too frail to endnre,
And thick strewn be the cares and the troubles
That lite has in store.
But 'tis best we know not the sorrow
That comes with a longed-for to-morrow,
And the anguNh and care.
If the veil from my future were lifted,
Perhaps at the sight I had drifted
Down into despair;
If I knew all tho woes tiiat awaited
My hurrying feet
My pleasures might oftcner be freighted
With bitter than sweet.
And yet, though my lifo has been lonely,
Some flowers 1 plucked that could only
From trials havo sprung;
Some joys I havo known that did borrow
Their brightness from contrast with sotrow
That over mo hung.
For tho moonbeams are brighter in seeming
When clouds am gone by,
If only a moment their gleaming
Bo hid from tho cyo.
Sad, indeed, would bo life's dewy morning
If, all Hope's bright promises scorning,
Oci burdened with tVars,
We saw but the woo and the sorrow
That would romo to our hearts nn tho morrow ;
The sighs and the tears.
So 'tis best that wo may not discover
What Faith hath in store.
Nor lift up the veil that hangs over
What lictu lietoro

OUR LETTER BOX.
Aunt Hetty is home, and she has reason to
feel bad at tho small number of letters to be
found for her department awaiting her.
Aunt Hetty is going to tell her young friends
all about her trip and what she saw. She
visited every place of importance in San
Francisco, and nothing that could entertain
her little circle escaped her sight. She will
tell all about what she saw- at Woodward's
Gardens; how she rode on cars with no horses
or Btcam engine to propel them; and many
other things too innutmrableto mention. As
wo predicted, Aunt Hetty avas very sick
while on tho ocean, and we cannot promise a
description from her pen of this awful feeling,
as no pen can do it justice. ,
Among the letters at hat d we find tho two
following, one from June Kby, and the other
from our little friend Johnny II : Jane Eby's
quilt must be pretty, and she should invito
somo of her little friends in the neighborhood
to como and help her in quilting it. It would
be such a nico way to do, and wouldn't they
havo a good time? The experiment of trying
to tamo wild canaries has often been at
tempted, but very seldom succeeds. We would
advise Jane to keep her flowers in Ihe sitting
room or in a cellar, providing tho cellar is
tight, and then sho will have nice plants to
begin the spring with.
Johnny H. is welcome to the Circle, and
we hope he will Btick better to us than ho
did to hop picking; also, that he may visit
the Mechanics' Fair next year.

Editor Home Circle:
As it is a long time since I wrote to tho
Farm Kit, I thought I would try again. It has
been raining hard for about ten days, and it is
raining very hard to-day. Our school com
menced three weeks ago; as it is raining, we
cannot go to school, as we have to walk a
mile and a quarter. I have pieced three
quilts, one of them is called a Rocky Moun
ton, and I think it is a very pretty quilt.
Mother and I are going to set it together, anil
I would like for somo of the little girls to
como and help me quilt it. Maggie McMeeken
lives about two miles from us. The last time
we were together wo had le,ts of Suu.- I tried
to keep somo wild canaries this summer, but
they died ; they were very pretty, but they
cannot live to bo shut up in a house like tamo
ones; it is wicked t catch thorn, ana I think
I will not try to catch any more of them. 1
havo a red fuschia and arose geiauium; my
fuschia has grnwed very nicely this summer;
it is iu bloom now; my geranium has also just
began to grow nicely; I don't know whether I
cau keep them this winter or int. It i very
hard work to keep house plants in tho winter;
can somo ono tell me how to keep them
through the winter. Well, I will clrso with
a riddle :
Down in yonder Hat,
There were Home ladies and gentlemen dancing
for that;
Some had green heads, somo yellow toes,
Nuw tell me this riddlo or I'll bite ofl your

IN THE
PORT TOWNSEND, W. T.
The port of entry for tho District of Puget
Sound moves slowly but steadily on in the
march of improvement. The o'd resident and
frequent v'sitor can easily mark tho changes
from year to year. Water street, that long
yeats ago was tho boach or shore line, anel
acro8 which the spray d.vhcd during every
considerable galo, is now raised, and is a level,
hard, dry street, ono of the lt in the Tern
tory. And back of it, where waa a swamp of
several acres, filled with stagna-1 water, filth
and disease, are now streets, homes and hand
some lots, a system of drainage and ear h
filling, c ivering up or expelling tho objection
able matter there before. From being one of
tho most repulsive sites for the building of a
tnvn to be found anywhere, it has become one
of tho most prcscnUblo and atttnet've. Tho
hilltop, upon which arc located the churches,
schools and residences, is a beautiful spdt,
and is dear to the hearts of all citizens. Tho
growth of Port Townsend has never been
rip'd; it Ins never experienced tho real estate
excitements of Olympia, Tacoma and Seattle;
but it has had its dull seasons and its seasons
of lifo ami improvement, and tho latter havo
Ik'Cii the rule rather than tho exception during
tho last ten ye-ats.
When tho writer firt saw Pott Townsend
it was a poor placo indeed. Not a single
houo then adorned tho faco of tho hill, but
the Pettygrove homo was over tho hill on the
other side, w here it has sinco remained. On
the beach below wero three or four shanties
fronting tho atcr, devoted to trdo with the
Indi ins' and the sale of liquor. Nothing like
a wharf appeared Goods and people brought
to the placo were landed in ship's boats or
Indian canoo. A few beach combers were
seen about besides a handful of actual red-
dent', and a large population of Indians, vary
ing fiom ono to five hundred. Now peop'e
canio in, and twenty-one years a young
printer, named John F. Damon, started a
small weekly paper there, which, during its
continuance of threo years, was the sharpest
in the Territory.
Tho :oming to tho Territory of Victor Smith
as Collector of Customs, was a hard blow to
Port Townsend, for ho immediately moved
tho Custom House to Port Angelos, twenty
miles further down the Straits, and there it
was kept until his death in 1865.
Port Townsend has a groat deal apparently
to sustain it, mid It is only a wonder that
under the circun-s'ances the towii ban not
grown more rapidly. Not only is it the port
of entry, with all that implies in a commercial
district like this, but it is tho place of location
of the U. S. Marina Hospital, it is the head
quaitersof the lighthouse scrvico hereabout,
and also of the revenue cuttor; a military forco
garrisons Fort Townsend on tho bay. Includ
ing nil- theso from one to two hundred men
derive their solo sustenance from tho Govern
ment of the United States, which in itself is
enough to sustain n very considerable popula
tion. At the head of the bay, and closely
connected with tho town, are tho iron works
of which so much has been written, where
now fifty men are employed, and whero four
hundred wi 1 bo when in full operation
From tho Discovery and Ludlow milN, in the
same county, anil only ten or twolvo miles
distint, much trado is rccured, as also from
Clallam and San Juan counties and tho west
coast.
The harbor is a handsomo and most excel
lent one, being quite accessible, and having
capacity and holding ground for an unlimited
number of ships. Several vessels can be seen
availing themselves of its advantages rtlmcst
any day, while sometimes tho number at
anchor, coming in and going out gets up to n
dozen or fifteen. Port Townsend has a popu
lation of a thousand persons, and that the
number will be two thousend within five years
wo do not doubt.
Tho especial prido of tho inhabitants is now
dividfd botwei-n tho new sawmill, built by a
company of citizens, and tho cxcollcnt storo
of C. C. Bartlntt; tho latter being a most sub
s'antial structure ot stone, of 5,xl00fcet, a.nl
three floors, in which tho enterprising owner
does a business of one thousand dollars a day.
Tho mill is not yet i mining, but will bo toon,
when it is supposed its daily cut of 25,000 or
30,000 feet of lumber will bo used in tho con
struction of new house, tho building of ships,
harves, sidewalk", itn., at homo Wo trust
the expectations of tho citioni are not amiss
iu this particular, but that ou tho contrary
the capacfty of tho mill will havo to be
doubled and trebled to keep pice with the
increasing demands. Tho dnulni atom of
Charles Eisenbein, dire-ctly opposite) that ef
Mr. Bartlett, and also of atom, is a creditablo
structure, although the additon of another
story would vastly improvo Jts appearance.
Central Ifotol is a most conspicuous building,
and qultoa showy one. Quito a number of
pretty cottages adorn tho residence portion o'
town, while pretty grounds arc to bo seen
everywhere.
Congress has recently apprnpr'ate-d SIK.OOO
for tho purc-liasa of Ilia edd hcMpital property,
and thn next movo now is to get an appropri
ation of forty or fifty thousand dollars for a
suitable building.
A Custom Houso is also badly net dt.il at
tho port of entry, but there eau be little hone
of ooo until Washington beiomes n Statn.
The budding at present in use, though, is a
decided improvement on tho dilapidated
old warehouses used in former years. So like
wise is the furniture. Collector Hash Is quite
comfortably filed, and takes plt-atum In
showing around and entertaining visitors.
Altogether Port Townsend looks well, feels
well, and with reason may hope to continue
doing well.
Ashland Tiding i Bennett Wilson raised
