Speaking of the display of centen
nial relics at an old houe in Iicacon
street, the IJoston Transcript says:
Among the articles of arms and equip
ments, wearing apparel, personal or
naments, trinkets, silverware, etc.,
none will attract more attention or be
better worthy of it than the "sampler"
displaying the grand Hancock house
and its surroundings. Though only
the house itself is recognizable In this
embroidered picture, the topography
of the whole region as it then existed
is plainly set forth. It matters little
that the jx'rspcctive is of the Chinese
sort, and the gulden tulips at the feet of
the scailet-aud-ptirple clad proprietor
on his prancing steed areas big as the
negro servant doffing his hat to the
equestrian, or that the rooster crowing
in Drookline and the dog barking
across the Back Hay are relatively of
elephant size. The needlework never
theless shows the peak of Ueacon Hill
with the beacon still upon it, tiie State
House site enclosed by the whitewash
ed fvnee of the Hancock cowpastnre,
and the stone wall at the foot of the
grounds, vsith vessels upon it and
swans as large :ts the ships. Other
puch personal relics are a suit of hand- j
Feme and picturesque clothes worn i

Hot- to KiepMiat Fresh a Lono
TirtE. We have authority, the Inter-(hi-an,
for saying that the following
recipe is worth the subscription price
of any newspaper in the land :
As soon as the animal heat is out of
the meat, slice itupieady for cooking.
Prepare a large jar by scalding well
with hot s,alt and water. Mix salt and
pulveri cd saltpeter, one tablcspoonful
of saltpeter being enough for a teacur -
f .1 of snlt. Cover the bottom of the jar
with a sprinkle of salt and popper, tlie
same as if jutt going to the table, and
continue in this manner till the jar is
full. Fold a cloth or towel and wet it
in strong salt and water, in which a
little of the s: 1 peter is dissolved.
Pre.s the cloth closely over the mc.it
nnil set it in a cool place. le sure and
press the cloth on tightly as each In vei
ls removed, and your meat will keep
lor months. It is a good plan to let
the meat lie over night after it is sliced,
before packing. Then drain oif all the
blood that ooze3 from it. It will be
neccessary to change the cloth occa
sionally, or take it olf and wash it
first in cold water then scald in salt
and-water as at first In this way
farmers can have fresh meat the vear
round. "1 have kept beef," savs the
writer, "that was killed the 12th of
February, till the 21st of June. Then
I packed a large jar of veal in the same
way during the dog-days, and it kept
six weeks.''
Strawberry Shortcake. Straw
berries being now in season, a recipe
to make the palatable dish known as
strawberry shortcake will not be amiss.
Hub a vdece of butter the size of an
egg into a little flour, pour into it two
cup of sour cream, one teaspoon ful
of baking soda and a little salt. 31 ix
into dough, and roll out iuto cakes
altout one-half inch thick and ten
inches in diameter, Prick with a fork
and bake in a quick oven. When done
split them open with aknifeand spread
with nice butter, lay the bottom piece
on a plate and cover with slrawlwrries
about an inch deep. It is belter to
have the. strawberries sprinkled with
sugar a few hours lit fore they are put
into the cake, with the crust side down
and a layer of strawlierries again.
Over this lay the bottom piece of
another cake and more strawberries
and put on the top piece, right side up.
Serve with sweet cream.
Ham Cake. A capital way ofdis
poaing of the remains of a ham nnl
making an excellent "difh for hrcakfant
is : Take a pountl and a half of ham,
fat and lan together; put into a mor
tar and pound it, or pa&s it through a
railage machine; boil a large felicc of
breAd in a half pint of milk, and heat
it and tlie ham well together; add an
beaten up. I'ut the whole into a
mo'ald and bake a rich brown.

To retain cr recover health, fn:rsoE3
should bo relieved frcra ill anxiety con
cerning disease. The mind has power
over the body, for a person to think he has
a disease will often produce that disease.
Thia we see effected when the mind is in
tensely concentrated on the disease of an
other. It is found in the hospitals
that surgeons aud physicians who make a
specialty of certain diseases are liablo to
die of them themselves ; and the mental
strain is so great that sometimes people
die of diseases which they have only in im
agination. We have seen a person sea
sick in anticipation of a voyage, ere reach
ing the vessel. We have known persons
to die of an imaginary cancer in the stom
ach, when they had no cancer or any otheT
mortal discaee. A blindfolded man,
slightly pricked in the arm, had fainted
and died from believing that he was bleed
ingto death.
Therefore, well persons to remain 6o,
should be cheerful and happy, and sick
persons should hate their attention di
verted as much as possible from them
selves. It is by their faith that raon are
saved, and it is by thc;ir faith they die.
As a man thmketh so is he. If he wills
not to died he can often live in spite of
disease, aud if he has little or no attach
ment to life he will slip away as easily as a
child will fall asleep. Men live by their
souls, and not by their bodies. Their
bodies have no life of themselves, they
are only receptacles of life tenements for
their souls, and the will has much to do in
containing the physical occupancy of giv
ing it up.
THEKS ANO KAIN,
The influence of trees upon rain and the
general moisture of the atmosphere, which
has been discussed of late, receives a
strong illustration from the island of Santa
Cruz, West Indies. A person a year or
two since, who spent the montli3 of Febru
ary, March and April upon the island, says
that when he was there twenty years ago, the
i&l.ind was a garden of freshness, beauty
and fertility woods eovered the bills,
trees were everywhere abundant, and rains
were profuse and frequent. The memory
of its loveliness called him back at the
befci ming of of the year, when, to hia as
tonishment, he found about ona-third of
the island, which is about twenty-five
miloa long, an utter desert. The foreot
and trees generally h:td been cut away,
rainfalls had ceased, and a process of
desiccation, beginning at one end of the
land, had advanced gradually and irre
sistibly upon the island, until for seven
miles it is dried and desolate as tho sea
shore. Houses and beautiful plantations
have been abandoned, and the people
watch the advance of desolation, unable to
resist it, and knowing to a certainty that
tlie time when their own habitations, their
gardens and fresh Col ls will become a part
of the waat is fast approaching. The
whole island is doomed to become a desert.
The inhabitants believe, and the opinion
Ecems to be confirmed, that this sad result
is owing to the deduction of the trees
upon the island.
IICKI0 THE EAR8.
Picking the ears is a most rnischiovons
practice ; in attempting to do this with
hard substances an unlucky motion has
many a time pierced the drum and made
it as useless as a pierced India rubber life
preserver ; nothing sharper or harder than
tho end of the little finger, with the nail
paired, ought ever to be introduced into
ear, unless by a physician. Persons are
often seen endeavoring to remove the
"wax" of the ear with tho head of a pin ;
this ought never to be done; first, be
cause it not only endangers the rupture of
car by being pushed too far in, but if not
60 for, it may grate against the drum, ex
cite inflammation and an ulcer which will
finally eat all the parts away, especially of
a scrofulous constitution second, hard
6ubstances hare often slipped in, and
caused the necessity of painful, dangorou
and expensive oporations to fish or cut
out; third, the wax is manufactured by
nature to guard tho entrance from dust,
insects and unmodified cold air, and when
it has subserved its purpose it becomes
dry, scaly, light, and in this condition is
easily pushed outside by new formations of
wax within.
A STRONG KRCOSIMKNDATIOJf.
Ooing over the Lowell Itailroad the
other day was a f ussy little man, who was
in evident doubt as to which of two New
Hampshire cities it would be advisable for
him to stop over night. He questioned
the conductor as long as that worthy
would stop to listen, and turned to the
other occupant of the sest, a thick-necked,
short-haired party, and queried :
"Is C a good place to stop at t "
"Fus rate," growled his companion.
Did you ever stop there P" inquired the
anxious traveller.
"Yes; went np there to stay for one
night, and stopped for ten years."
"You don't say!" said the delighted
interrogator. "Whafd you do'n, where'd
you stay ?"
"Opened a store, and stayed in the
State Prison," responded the gruff one,
and the little gentleman clianged seats and
lara at the next station.
