To him that ovcrcometh, 0 word divinely strong, Tho victir's plm, tho fadoleia wreath, The grand immortal song, And his tho hidden manna, And his tho polished atone, Within whose whttencta ahinea tho name Revealed to him atone. So him that ovorcomoth Ah, what o( bitter attife, Heforo ho win tho battlo'a gago And anatch tho crown ot lite I What a whirl of crosting wcapona What n steam ot Hashing oyea, What atcrn dobato with haughty foca Muat ho beforo the prize. To him that ovorcomoth Shall triali ayo befall, Tho World, tho Flesh, tho Dovil He needs muat face them all. Sweet sirens of temptation May luro with ailver atrain, And copo ho mint aubtlo foca, And bUnch 'ncath fiery pain. To him that ovcrcometh A. mighty holp ia pled god j Ho wields a aword of purest mould, Uy use of cycles edged. And prophets and confessors, A matchless valiant band, Have vanquished earth and atormed aides, With that triumphant brand, To him that ovcrcometh. 0 promise dearest dosrl Tho Lord himself who died for him Will evcrmoro bo near, Hero, dust upon hli garments, There, robes that royal he, For "On my throno," tho.King hath said, "Mino own shall ait with me." To him that ovcrcometh, O word divinely atrong! It weaves itaolf through woary hours Lllco aomo rejoicing song, I'or his tho hidden ininna, And his the namo unknown, Which Christ tho Lord ono day of days Will tell to him alone. "DONT GO TOO SLOW." Over and over again This was tho aong he sang, Up and bayond the grand old hills, And loud through tho wooda it rang "Goo up and geo hoi Don't go too alowl Twill be night beforo you know itl If you have got any amart in your boots, Now ia the timo to ahow itl" Over and over again This waa the aong he sang; And the oxen, rolling their loving eyes, Quick to their hard work aprang; "Gee up and goe ho! Don't go too alow! 'Twill be night before ynu know it! If you have got any a nart in your bonei, Now ia tho time to how it!" Over and over aqsin, After the lapse of ynara, Tho aong ot the aturdy farmer' boy Kept swinging in my ears: "Gee up and gee ho! Don't i'0 too alow! Twill be Might before you know it! If you have got any amart in your bones, Now ia the time to ahuw it." Orer and over again Says I to myself, aaya It "Not ouly to beasts of burden, but To Man will these words apply:" "Gee up and gee ho! Don't go too slow! Twill be night beforo you know it! If you havo got any smart in your bones, Now is the time to iliotr it!" FLOWER FESTIVAL. Many ladies of Loa Angeles liavo in stituted a Flower Festival, tho object of which is to build a homo for women who must support thcmsolves on small salaries. Last year at tho firfit oxhibit 50,000 roses were shown, beside, other llowcrs. Two thousand dollars was tho result, eo a houso was rented and fur nished, and opened under tho chargo of a capable woman. Tho houso is full: and preparations are being mado for larger accommodations. This gives women and girls of modorato means a homo for u small sum. They anticipate a library also, making this homo a con tor for women's work, and all that is in tho interest of woman. Another ilowor and fruit show was had at Santa Barbara, which was wonderfully toautiful in tho display, also oranges, strawberries, ban nanas, etc., in tho greatest variety and quantity. Oregon, of couibe, can novcr rival Cal ifornia in those productions, but she can raako n fair showing, and it scorns ns if tv little public spirit was shown in this way would have a good influence thesp bard times. It is btated that during tho past thrco years thirteen million sheep havo died for want of water in Now South Wales. Drugs at Port'-, lOOStalo street. CHOICE RECIPES. Chocolnto Frosting.

Open Fires. Nothing f-o delights tho soul and sheds such a peaceful glow ovor tho present and futuro years, as plonty of light and warmth in tho fumily living room. It gives a keen dolight and is never forgotten by tho child whon grown to maturity. It U ono of tho 8implo homo pleasures that no fnmily can aflbrd to disponso with. Dio Lewis says : "But lot us have tho open fire. Let us go without silks, broadcloths, carpets, and finery of all kinds if necessary, that wo may havo this excellent purifier and difiuser of joy in all our houses. In my otvn houso I havo thrco open grates, and tho expense is very largo, and it it wore in any other department of houso keeping, I should feel I could not afford i it; but in this I do not flinch, so impor tant do I deem the open fire." But why cxponsivo? Why tho neces sity of sacrificing othor comforts and luxuries for tho ploasurcs enjoyed nt tho open fire? Fuel that ennnot 'bo manufactured easily for tho stove, stumps, otc., always lying around in country places, may bo utilized in an open fire, thus saving, inBtoad of entail ing expense Or if it conies to dispens ing with "finery" for tho sake of a fire placo, much moro is gained than loit by tho sacrifice. An artist could paint no prettier scono than tho members of tho family, old and young, grouped within thn red light and warmth of nn old-fashioned fire. Compared with tho room with n closo stovo it is liko going from tho "realms of light" into "outer darkness." Matrons, aro you to hnvo a now houso, insiat on tho open fireplace. It will provo a pcrpctunl dolight and your chil dren and children's children will novcr forget to thank you. Hints for the Housekeeper. To polish a stove, rub it with news paper. Salt increases tho boat of tho wator in tho boiling of potatoes. Half it cup of vinegar in water will mako an old fowl cook quickly. Lard may bo mado porfectly swoet by boiling iv raw pnred poUito in it. If nutmegs aro good, whon picked with ii pin oil will constantly oozo out. Tho wings of turkeys, gocso and chick ons aro good to wash and clean windows, ns thoy lcavo no dust or lint liko cloth. To keep insects out of bird cages, tio up a littlo sulphur in n bag mid suspend it in thocago.- Rod nuts will flco from n closot or drawer, it a small bag of sul phur bo kept in thoso places. Ironing Items. Much labor can bo saved in ironing by folding tho clothes right. Fold tho top and bottom hems of sheets together, then fold again through tho contcr and iron without undoing. Tho top half of sheet will thon bo nlcoly ironed and tho lower half prcssod smooth. HonTy tow els for kitchen uso and tea-towels can bo folded smooth and ironed without un folding. Too much ot many n frail woman's strength is wasted in tho use less attempt to do nil things with equal nicity. I havo good success with shirts dipped in cold starch, by using soap-suds to dis solvo tho starch. Roll thorn tight, and whon your iron is not too hot, rub tho bosom thoroughly with a clean wet cloth to tako off any dry starch adhering to tho shirt, and iron from tho neck-band toward tho bottom. M. II. Washing with Soap Powder. At night I dissolve flvo tablespoons ot powdor in hut wator. (This is for n family of flvo persons.) Pour it into tho tub, with enough vory warm water to covor tho clothes. I then put in all tho best white clothes, leaving tho very dir tiest for another tub or pail, and putting somo of tho suds on them. In tho morn ing I put thain in tliu loilur with sudi cient cold water and boil twenty or thir ty minuU's. Wash in ono water, rinse well in slightly blued wator nnd hang out. I seldom need to uso any uonp. My clothes look as well an when washed in the old wi. Colored clothes can bo added if desired uud tho colors left to souk a few minutos boforo washing. You can soon tell just how much iowder is required. I sometimes omit boiling, and wash in two wators; but prefer tho formor mothod, as tho dirt is moro easily taken out. Pleneo try my way, somo one, and report. Tho powder can be obtained of any grocer, I think for fifteou cents n packago or two for twnnty-fivo cents. Do not let any ono frighten you by saying it rots tho clothes. I havo used it noarly twoyenrs, and I think my clothes wear Justus long, if not longer, than before. It certainly does not woar them any moro than tho extra hard rubbing and saves timo and strength. Kotunt. An Knglish farmer has mado tho dis covery that his carefully kept farm ac counts in which ovcry transaction is noted as it occurs, and everything necessary to tho calculations which had not actually been bought or sold was valued at market pricos, having demon strated that, nftor inokinij allownnco for tho largo doath rate of cows, rhcep-kocp-ing has paid him bettor than dairying by about thirty per cent. Safety In Epidemics. "During tho last torriblo yellow fever epidemic I stayed hero waiting on sev eral fever sufferers, burying others, and being exposed at all times; but, owing to tho continued uso of Simmons Liver Regulator, I weathered tho storm, and now eny it saved my lifo. T. J. King, Bartlctt, Tonn." Caro of Baby. Mothors, don't forget tho coinfoitof your littlo ones, now tho busy part of tho year has come. I know your thoughts havo to bo in ninny places at once, but tako timo to givo bnbv propor care, oven if tho work has to bo neglect oil Babies seldom if over cry unless thoy aro sick, uncomfortable, or want something. Do not let them lio iu one position too long, they get tired and ennnot sleep; turn them gently when they begin to get restless and thoy will sleep as long again. To looson their clothes, lay them across your lap nnd smooth their little backs with tho palm ot your hand, will often quiot them when fretful. And above all things, don't neglect to givo them water. A good rulo is to oiler them n drink whon you tako ono yourself. I havo known babios undor two weeks old cry for water, just ns if thoy had colic. Qivo them a ten- Bpoonful nt n timo until thoy hnvo enough. Catnip tea mado fresh ovcry day is a good drink for babies that aro subjoot to colic, and tho host remedy I over tried is thrco or four drops of good brandy given iu n tcaspoonful ot water, llopeat tho doso in fifteen minutos if necessary. If you go away from homo it is best to tako such reme dies with you as you aro liablo to need. If a baby rubs its oars and cries, it has earache. Warm n few drops of olivo oil nnd drop in tho car. Or if subject to it, tnko n lavel toaspoonful of powdcrod opium, and put iu two ounces of alcohol, shako well, then let it sottlo ; put sixteen drops of this into half an ounce of best olivo oil, shnko well each timo boforo using; drop .two or thrco drops iu tho ear whenever nn attack comes on. hnvo scon it used twice or mora n day iu bad cases. Often nftor tho cars achu n matter will run from them, which makes thorn raw or soro nnd causo intense itching. For this, wash with whito castilo soap, dry thoroughly, and dutt lightly with cornstarch. Whon washing, bo suro to wipo them perfectly dry. Bo vory enroful not to lcavo tho insido of tho ear wet, as this frequently is tho causo ot their itching. Tnko a small hairpin, fold a soft cloth over tho round end, press gently around on tho inside of tho car. It is n good way to wipo them. Lot tho child wear whito flannel nightcaps to sloop in, and cotton ones in tho day time if thoy aro thus nfilictcd in wintor. I novcr know tho hearing to bo affected whan treated as above. Mako baby's uudorwoar of tho finest whito flannel ; novnr uso colorod flannel noxt to them, as it ofton poisons thorn and causes sores and pimple all over the body and limbs. Mako flannol shirts with slcoves to como to tho wrists. Let thorn woar their nltirts wrong side out n tho senilis will not bo noxt to them. For tho young infants, it is generally better to have littlo short-sleeved under shirts of very thin whito cotton goods. Havo soft, loose whito wool stockings. Fordundrufrand scales on tho head, put six drop camphor iu a pint of warm rainwater; uso just u littlo fine soap, and wash tho head with, then dry with soft cloth uud put on night i ip until tho hoad becomes perfectly lr,. Thin provcuts taking cold. When babies chnfo, get Mire mound the ears, and under tho arms wash with somojnv milk in it; dry caiofully mid dust with cornotarcli. 1'nt staroh in it littlo bug mudo of thin whito cloth mi it will hilt through nicely. But the very Lost remedy I over used was "petroleum ointment." nronarcd bv our fumilv physician for bed hoi en. Aunt Catherine, in Ohio I' armor.
