" What must I do with our stuffed cuah ions ?" is the sum and substances of a considerable number of letters from good housekeepers, who are anticipating trouble from that little household pest the moth Much of tho troublo with moths ariso from not knowing their ways and the best thing wo can ' do is to show up the enemy. In these pleasant spring days a littlo incect will often be seen flitting about the room an innoccnt looking thing, of an unobtrusivo drab color which if it attracts our attention at all, does so only pleasantly, as it stems full of new life, and intent only on its own pleasure. But this little moth is groat in its possibility ot future troubles.— He, or she (for the inexperienced eye cacnot tell the difference) should be killed at sight. Its first appearance should be taken as a warning of danger, for these are the uioths whose eggs produce tho little grubs that infest furs woolen clothing, carpets, stuffed cushions and furniture. Ihese winged moths deposit eggs on or in the furs or fabrics. These eggs hatch in about fifteen days, and the wool or fur serves the resulting worm not only for food, but for clothing, for tho grub makes itself a case out of the small fragments, and thus conceals itself while at work. It generally happens that the presenco of moths is not suspected until the mischief is done. After the grubs have made their growth, and enlarged their cases to suit their needs, they go into the dormant state, and in spring appear as the modost winged insects to which wo have referred. With moths, as with many other domestic troubles,.prevention is tho best "remedy." Camphor wood and codor trunks are good, as moth insects do not like their odor, and will not enter them. Cedar shavings, snuff, camphor, pepper, and other aromatics, have the reputation of being preservatives, but there is nothing so good as paste. See that tbo furs or woolens are well beaten, and pot them away in a box or chest that has every crack closed by a strip of paper well pasted on. Kurs put up in perfectly tight paper bags,and pasted securely, will bo preserved from the attacks of motbs, but the paper must bo without holes, and the pasting must bo honestly done. Where moths are once in a fabric, an exposure to a heat of 150 degrees will destroy them. We once hud some traveling blankets that became infested ; theso we placed in a tight box and sprinkled freely with benzine, which did for the moths. RONNELLA ADAMS WItOLESALK UUIWJ1KS.

In saying this, we take it for granted that energy, boldness, and determination are pre-requisites, without which failure is certain. But incident to these, there is no person who is not influenced to a wenderful degree by one who exhibits a hearty love of human kind, and a friendly good-will, that bubbles over in a merry laugh or pleasant speech. In this humanity is clannish to the last degree. - Tbo salesman, and not the goods, is often the cause that influences a trade. All love to meot a man who is affable and polite, and, if he is iu business, love to patronize him. On the contrary,we dislike, even in tho commonest affairs to rub against a nature that raps and scratches all our finest sensibilities, to the core, and we avoid such except in cases of necessity. The advantages therefore which the first has over the last-named, in an even start, where the abilities of both are equal, are of no ordinary degree or kind.

But now the strong providing hand was gono. Besides this son there wero two little daughters, quite children, whoso education and future must be provided for. But the widowed mother was proud of her boy's gonius, and only too ready to mako any sacrifice for his advantage. Maurice Liddon knew this, and knew what this sacrifice must be. Ilis sisters would havo no instruction superior to that of tho village school, his mother wou'.d dismiss her ser4 vants, and the pleasant household would drop into ono hard struggle for existonco, while ho would fare sumptuously in tho city and shapo out a bright futuro for himsolf. " But they will share it," ho thought "yes, they will certainly share the comfort and the glory without tho labor. Perhaps tho girls would not profit much by a costly education, and every one says Ishal} bo great, and I believe I shall; but not if I am doomed to obscurity, of course." " Ben Wade," as ho is frequently calloJ, ono of the political lions of the west, has taken but two meals a day for twenty years, and if all sedentary persons, those who aro in-doors a greater part of their time, would after tho age of forty-five observe tho game inflexible rule, there can be no doubt, othor things being equal, that long years of happy exemption from the ordinary. ills ol life would be the result. The reason is that the stomach would have time to rest, for recuperation, and would thus be able to do its part more thoroughly, making purer blood,giving bettor sleep and socuring good appetite for breakfast.

BARBER, We can sing away our cares easier than we can reason them away. Tho birds are the earliest to sing in tho morning ; the birds are more without care than anything else I know of. Sing in the evening. Singing is the last thing the liobins do. When they have dono their daily work—they have flown their flight, and picked up their last morsel of food, and cleansed their bills on a napkin of a bough, tlfen on a top twig they sing ono songof praise. I know they sleep sweeter for it. They dream music, for sometimes in the night they break forth in singing, and stop suddenly after tho first note, startled by their own voice. O, that we might sing evening and morning, and let song touch song all the way through. As I wus returning from tho country the.other evening, between six and scvcu o'clock, bearing a basket of flowers, I met a man that was apparently the tender of a mason. lte looked brick and mortar all over. IIo had workod the entire day, and had the appearance of a man that would not bo afraid of work. He was walking- on with a light step, and singing to himself as ho passed down street, though he had been working tho whole day, and nearly the wholo week. Were it not that my good thoughts came too late, I should have given him a large allotment of my flowers. If he had not been out of my sight when the idea occuned to me, I should have hailed him and said: " Have you worked all day?" "Of course I have," he would have said.

C. W. FREEMAN. Pittston, Dec. 24,1868. Wast Pittston, May 31,1868 Among the astounding discoveries of Science, is that of tho immense periods that have passed in the gradual formation of the earth. So vast were the cycles of time preceding even the appearance of man on the surface of our globe that our own period seems as yesterday when compared with the epochs that have gone before it. Had we enly the evidence of the deposits of rocks heaped up on each other in regular strata by the slow accumulation of materials, they alone would convince us of tho long and slow maturing of God's works on earth; but when we add to these the successive population of whose lifo tho world has been the theatre, and whoso remains are hidden in the rocks into which the mud or sand, or soil of whatever kind, on which-they lived, has hardened in tho course ol time—or tho enormous chains ot mountains whoso upheaval divided these periods of quiet accumulation by great convulsions —or the changes of a different naturo in the configurations of our globo, as the sinking of lands beneath the ocean or the gradual rising of continents and islands above—or the slow growth of coral reels, those wonderful sea-walk# raised by the litle ocean architects, whose owii bodies furnish both the building stones and tho cement that binds them together, and who have worked so busily during tho long centuries that there are extensive countries, mountain chains, islands, and long lines of coast consisting solely of their remains—or the countless forests that have grown up flourished and decayed, to fill tho storehouses of coal that feed the fires of tho human race—if we consider ajl these records of tho past, the intellect iails to grasp a chronology of which our experience furnishes no data, and time that lies behind us seems as much an eternity to our conception, as the futuro that stretches indefinitely before Many of the dresses now worn are copies in detail from the costumes ol the time of Louis XV.

A dark, gloomy blue sky is wiudy ; but a light, bright blue sky indicates fine weather. Generally the softer clouds look the less wind, but perhaps more rain may be expected; and the harder, more "greasy," rolled, tufted, or ragged, the stronger the coming wind will prove. Also a bright yollow sky at sunset presages wind ; a pale, yellow, wet; and a greenish, sickly looking color, wind and rain.
