LOOKING GLASSES. In order to clean them from the spots of flies and
other stains, rub them over with a fine damp cloth. Then polish with a
soft woollen cloth, and powder blue.

LOVE. As health is materially affected by the passions, it is of some
consequence to observe their separate influence, in order to obviate
some of their ill effects. Love is unquestionably the most powerful, and
is less under the controul of the understanding than any of the rest. It
has a kind of omnipotence ascribed to it, which belongs not to any
other. 'Love is strong as death; many waters cannot quench it, neither
can the floods drown it.' Other passions are necessary for the
preservation of the individual, but this is necessary for the
continuation of the species: it was proper therefore that it should be
deeply rooted in the human breast. There is no trifling with this
passion: when love has risen to a certain height, it admits of no other
cure but the possession of its object, which in this case ought always
if possible to be obtained. The ruinous consequences arising from
disappointment, which happen almost every day, are dreadful to relate;
and no punishment can be too great for those whose wilful conduct
becomes the occasion of such catastrophes. Parents are deeply laden with
guilt, who by this means plunge their children into irretrievable ruin;
and lovers are deserving of no forgiveness, whose treacherous conduct
annihilates the hopes and even the existence of their friends.

MACARONI. The usual way of preparing macaroni is to boil it in milk, or
weak veal broth, flavoured with salt. When tender, put it into a dish
without the liquor. Add to it some bits of butter and grated cheese;
over the top grate more, and add a little more butter. Set the dish into
a Dutch oven a quarter of an hour, but do not let the top become
hard.--Another way. Wash it well, and simmer in half milk and half
broth, of veal or mutton, till it is tender. To a spoonful of this
liquor, put the yolk of an egg beaten in a spoonful of cream; just make
it hot to thicken, but not to boil. Spread it on the macaroni, and then
grate fine old cheese all over, with bits of butter. Brown the whole
with a salamander.--Another. Wash the macaroni, then simmer it in a
little broth, with a little salt and pounded mace. When quite tender,
take it out of the liquor, lay it in a dish, grate a good deal of cheese
