CEyTMZSXZA Li RELICS.
Speaking of the display of centcn
nial relies at an oM house in Beacon
street, the Boston Transcript says:
Among the articles of arms and equip
ments, wearing apparel, personal or
naments, trinkets, silverware, etc.,
none will attract more attention or ho
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 perspective is of the Chinese
sort, and the garden tulips at the feet of
the scarlet-and-purple clad proprietor
on his prancing steed areas big as the
negro servant doffing his hat to the
equestrian, or that the rooster crowing
in Brookline and the dog barking
across the Back Bay are relatively of
elephant size. The needlework never
theless shows the peak of Beacon Hill
with the beacon still upon it, the State
House site enclosed by the whitewash
ed fence of the Hancock cowpasture,
and the stone wall at the foot of the
grounds, with vessels upon it and
swans as large as the ships. Other
such personal relics are a suit of hand
some and picturesque clothes worn
a hundred years ago, mulberry, coat
and leather breeches, with silver knee
buckles, owned by Franklin Clark, of
Stratham, N. H ; Lady Washington's
little high-heeled black lasting shoes,
faithfully darned with exemplary
thrift; .Airs. HnncocK's gaudy wedding
fan, with its round pa tte board case,
her splendidly embroidered Japron; the
baby cap, or fine linen and finest lace,
used for John and John Quincy Ad
ams; the painted silk wedding dress
of Rebecca Sherman, daughter of Ro
ger Sherman; a pair of babv shoes
made out of the red cloth of a" British
soldier's coat; a mahogany sideboard
used by Hancock, surmounted with a
portable clock of the fashion coming
into use again, belonging to Governor
Hutchinson; cannon ball from Copp's
Hill ; silverware used by Taul Revere ;
passes from the British admiral in
Boston to Dr. John Jeffreys ; journal
of the Colonial Houscof Representa
tives in 1771 ; linen bag made in 179fV,
cartridge box carried at Bunker Hill
by Captain Robert Caller; a journal
kept by Timothy Nichols in 1759, at
the siege of Quebec ; a glass and can
dlesticks used by Washington at New
port; canteen used by Samuel Tierce,
1775; bread that came from England
in the year 1(530, preserved by the an
cestors of Lewis Tierce, of Dorchester;
clock lxilonging to Dr. John Warren
in 178(5; chair used by Governor
Hancock; silverware made by Taul
Revwe ; powder horn made by Daniel
Lucas and carried by him in the
.Trench and Indian war of 1755, and
subsequently by his son during the
Revolution; dish brought from Eng
land in 1(535 by the Marsh family;
word carried at Bunker Hill. 1775;
the first Boston directory, 17!); and
as arm-chair and clothing once owned
by General Sullivan.
How to K ket Mi at Fresh a Long
TirtE. Wc have authority, the Inter.
(hcan, 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 salt and water. Mix salt and
pnlveri ed saltpeter, one tablespoon ful
of saltpeter being enough for a teacup
f d of sr.lt. Cover the b jttom of the jar
with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, Hie
Bame as if jut 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.
Pre3 the cloth closely over the meat
and set it in a cool place. Be sure and
pres3 toe cloth on tightly as each layer
ik removed, and your meat will keep
for months. It is a good plan to let
the meat lie over night after it is sliced,
Ixaforc packing. Then drain olf nil the
blood that oozes from it. Jt will be
neccessary to change the cloth occa
sionally, or take it olf ami wash it
first in cold water then scald in salt
and-water as at first In this way
farmers can have fresh meat the year
round. "1 have kept beef," says 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
eix weeks."
Strawberry Shortcake. Straw
lnMrics being now in season, a recipe
to make the palatable dish known as
strawberry shortcake will not be amiss.
Rub a piece of butter the size of an
egg into a little flour, pour into it two
cups of sour cream, one tcaspooriful
of baking soda and a little salt. Mix
into dough, and roll out iuto cakes
about one-half inch thick and ten
inches in diameter. Prick with a fork
and bakein a quick oven. When done
split them open with aknifeand spread
with nice butter, lay the bottom piece
on a plate and cover with strawberries
about an inch deep. It is better to
have the strawberries sprinkled with
sugar a few hours before they are put
into the cake, with the crust side down
and a layer of strawberries again.
Over this lay the bottom piece of
ano'-her cake and more strawberries
and put on the top piece, right side up.
Serve with sweet cream.
Ham Cake. A capital way of dis
posing of the remains of a ham and
making an cxcellentdish for breakfast
is : Take a pound and a half of ham,
fat and lean together; put into a mor
tar an pound it, or pas it through a
sausage machine; boil a large tlicc of
bread in a half pint of milk, and beat
it and tlie ham well together; add an
oeig beaten up. Put the whole into a
ino'ald and bake a rich brown.

To retain or recover health, porsoni
should bo relieved from flill enxioty coa
cerning disease. The rriinJ. has power
over the body, for a person to think he has
a disease will often produce that disease.
This we 8te effected when the mind is in
tensely concentrated on the disease of an
other. It is found in the hospitals
that surgeons auJ 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 other
mortal disease. A Llindfolded man
slightly pricked in the arm, had fainted
and died from btlicvinj that he was bleed
ingto death.
Therefor, well persons to remain so,
should be cheerful and happy, and 6ick
persons should hare their attention di
verted as much as possible from them
selves. It is by their faith that rnon are
saved, and it is by their faith they die.
As a man thinketh so is he. If he wills
not to died he can often live in spite of
disease, and if he has little or no attach
ment to life he will slip away as easily aa 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.
TllEKS AN JJ It A IN.
The influence of trees upon rain and the
general moisture of the atmosphere, which
has been discussed of late, receives a
Etrong illustration from the island of Santa
Cruz, West Indies. A person a year or
two since, who spent the months of Febru
ary, March and April upon the island, says
that when he was there twenty years ago, the
island was a garden of freshness, beauty
and fertility woods covered the hills,
trees were overywher-3 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, Iw found about ono-third of
the island, which is about twenty-five
miles long, an utter desert. The foret
and trees generally had 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 ialand, until for seven
miles it is dried and desolate as the 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
the time when their own habitations, their
gardens and fresh fioMs will become a part
of the waat is fast approaching. The
whole island id doomed to become a desert.
The inhabitants be'ievo, and the opinion
eeems to be confirmed, that this sad result
is owing to the destruction of the trees
upon the island.

A STRONG KRCOJtMKNDATIOJf.
Going over the Lowell Eailroad the
other day was a fussy 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, lie questioned
the conductor as long as that worthy
wotild 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 tn
"Fus rate," growled his companion.
Did you evtr stop there P" inquired the
anzions traveller.
"Yes; went np there to stay for one
night, and stopped for ten years."
"You don't say!" said the delighted
interrogator. ""What'd you do'n, where'd
you stay 7"
"Opened a store, and stayed in the
State Prison," responded the gruff one,
and the little gent lorn an clianged seats and
tars at the next station.
A porrLTRT-raisersays : I have tried sever
