The infidel and His Daughter.
[Suggested by reading a newspaper
paragraph, describing the scene between
the brave old Ethan Allen and his daugh
ter, 013 the. eve of her death, when she
asked the stern infidel in whose faith he
would have her die, his or her mother's :]
"The damps of death are coming fast,
My father, o'er my brow ;
The past, with all Its scenes, has fled,
And I must turn me now
To that dim future, which in vial'
My eyes seek to descry;
Tell me, my father, in this hour,
In whose belief to die.
In thine? I've watched the scornful smile,
And heard thy withering tone,
Whene'er the Christian's bumble hope
Was placed upon thine own ;
rye heard thee speak of coming death
Without a shade of gloom,
And laugh at all trio childish fears
That cluster 'round the tonib.
Or is It in my mother's faith':
Now fondly do I trace
Through many weary years long pass
That calm and saintly face!
Ilow often do I call to mind,
(Now she's beneath the sod,)
The place, the hour, in which she drew
My eager thoughts to Gon.
'Twas then she took this sacred Book
And from its burning page,
Read how its truths support the soul
In youth and failing age;
And bade me in its precepts live,
And by Its precepts die,
That I Might share IL home of love
In worlds beyond the sky.
My father, shall I look above,
Amid the gathering gloom,
To Him whose promises of love
Extend beyond the tomb?
Or curse the Being who bath blessed
This checkered heart of mine?
Mast I embrace my mother's faith,
Of die, my sire, by thine?
The frown upon that warrior brow
Passed, like a cloud, away,
And tears coursed down the rugged checks
That flowed not till that day.
" Not in rains," with choklng, voice,
The skeptic made reply—
" But In thy mother's holy faith,
My daughter, may'st thou die."

‘.SRUN STRONG DRINK.'
What a volume of good morality and
wise counsel is embraced in these three
brief words, and yet how little is their
real weight oft times estimated, or their
real three considered ! " Shun strong
drink !" What advice could be more
valuable to the young man, just entering
upon lite, with its cares, its temptations
and its rewards? What counsel could
be worth more to the middle aged, him
in full vigor and prime of manhood, upon
whose noble brow the troubles of business
have driven deep the furrows? Could
anything be more fraught with value for
the old, the silver haired, him who
ere long, be of those that were, but ore
not ?
'What does this advice include ?
It contains a warning against " that
vice, which, in one black and awful gulf,
4,V hei..lch-au p p
ness." This vice is one which, in every
age and clime, has numbered its victims
by thousands and tens of thousands. No
country, no period, has been totally free
from its ravages. It is no respecter of
persons, for neither youth, nor worth, nor
rank, nor wealth, nor influence, nor talents,
have shielded their possessor from its
dread attacks. All conditions of life have
perished; hosts of subjects, upon which it
has operated, with deadly and destructive
skill. Worse, too, than the fiercely raging
pestilence, which strikes down, like con
suming fire, for a while, and then gives a
respire, °felines of years, ere it again at
tacks
the saute community, this awful
scourge is unceasing in its ravages. Who
can name the time and place, for many
past generations, at -which it has not been
engaged in its deadly work ?
'Not content with ruining and blasting
whatever is manly, and healthful, and
noble, in the human body, it extends its
withering, blighting curse to the divine
soul itself. Whilstitslays the one through
Time, it damns the other through Etern
ity. It Irrutalizes the finer feelings of
man's nature, degraies him to the level of
the dumb, irrational beast of the field,
bankrupts him in purse, renders the finest
intellect a mere blank, and drives hint into
a state of being in which be is the abject
slave of his vilest passions. Those pas
sions which it should be the aim of every
one to keep under close control, have, in
the case of the drunkard, gained a com
plete mastery over the finer feelings of
man. Nor is this all. Consider the
utter wofuluess of that broken-hearted
and disconsolate family circle, who "mourn
as elibse without hope." Well may they
grieve. Their head and proper protector
has gone from among them, taken not by
lingering disease, or sudden death, but
ruined in the vile fumes of alcohol. It
may, perchance, be true, that he still
breathes and moves about the world, but,
if so, how sad his state. Far better that
he had died au honorable death, years
ago, than that he should be living thus.

Because these are the natural fruits of
an indulgence in strong drink, we say
unto you, shun it!
Shun it, because it corrupts, degrades,

Shun it, because it first bewilders, then
stupifies, and finally maddens the human

Shun it, because it consigns to eternal,
unending ruin, the immortal soul.
Shun it, as you value your peace and
welfare, both here and hereafter.
Young man, are you of that happy
class who have never yet bowed in bond
age to this, the most bitter, cruel enemy
to man ? If so be, then heed my warn
ing, and never lend yourself a willing
sacrifice to this worse than Moloch. As
you prize self-respect and safety, shun
strong-drink.
Are you of that large number who
class themselves amongst moderate drink
ers, who consider that they are in no
possible danger of becoming enslaved by
the habit of intemperance ? Then pause,
ere you find your sad mistake, when it is
too late to repent, and correct your error.
Now and henceforth, shun strong drink.
Am I addressing any of those who have,
unfortunately, become the slave of this
evil, pernicious habit, who are fast losing
life and respectability beneath its sway ?
Let me beg of you, at once, before your
chains become so closely, rivited as to
render escape impossible, to shake off this
corruptive and growing vice. Learn at
once to shun strong drink.

THE GHOST OF THE GUARD.
In 1563 Hilton Head Island, in South
Carolina, was the headquarters of " the
department of the South." It was garri
soned by ten thousand choice troops from
seven different Snites. Port Royal har
bor, the finest in America, was black with
masts, and a hundred ships carried the
American fag. Hilton Head proper was
strongly fbrtified. It contained vast stores
of provisions and untold quantities of
ammunition and implements of war. The
confederates looked on with eager eyes,
naturally desiring its possession, and there
fore sent swarms of spies and pretended
deserters to observe its strength and take
note of its weak points. The land bord
ering on the sea was defended by the iron
clads and some " old line-of battle-ships,"
and that portion bordering on Broad
River was held, by a single picket line of
infantry and cavalry.
One dark and stormy night a picket on
a solitary post was suddenly approached
by what he thought was a human form
The intruder was apparently a powerful
and well-built man, and wore a blue over
coat. He evidently did not observe the
picket at first, but kept advancing until
the loud command to —Halt!" was given
three times in succession, and the sharp
report of a rifle broke the midnight si
lence. The flash of the gun enabled the
picket to see the form in the blue over
coat fall heavily to the ground, as though
pierced in a vital part. The sentinel,
supposing that a force of the enemy was
in his immediate presence, did not leave
his post to observe the effects of bis shot,
but. like a good soldier, stood his ground
until the alarm brought speedy reinforce
ments. Having indicated to his brother
soldiers the spot where his dead man had
fallen. they lost no time in examining the
bushes, but, strange to relate, nothing
could be found. After a thorough search,
and upon talking the matter all over, they
concluded that the sentinel had mistaken
a tree for a man, and were rather dispos
ed to ridicule his story ; but he stoutly
persisted that he knew his business, and
wasn't fool enough not to know the dif
ference between a man and a tree. To
be on the safe side, the picket was dou
bled for the remainder of the night, but
all remained quiet until morning.
At daylight a fresh survey of the sus
picious spot was made, and the soldiers
were startled to find the footprints of "a
man ! They suddenly believed the pick
et's story, but were at a loss to know what
had become of their man.
The next night a different detachment
was on duty, and the same scenes were
enacted over again, with the exception
that the form appeared at a different
post. Each night, for a whole week, the
picket line was kept in constant commo
tion by the strange visitor, and fresh de
tachments were sent out front time to
time, until there was almost a continuous
jline of battle; bodies_ of treopsiand-scouts
scoured the woodshyddy, and volunteers
;were lying in the swamps by night. In
the meantime the footprints which the
visitor invariably - left behind were meas
ured, and fbund in every case to be iden- '
tical in shape and size.
A company in the 115th New York,
hearing of the affair and the wonder and
excitement it produced, requested to be
sent to the place for one night. The
men felt sure that, whether man or devil
faced them, they would clear up the mys
tery.
The New Yorkers, after being accepted,
repaired to the line, and, in placing their
videttes, the officers took the precaution
to always have at least two men on each.
post, and in more remote places three or
four. .I.li had an intense desire to be
successful. and they moved about as quiet
ly as possible. Shortly after midnight
Andrew Smith heard a stick crack in
seine dense bushes a few yards distant.
He instantly dropped down into the tall
grass and peered out into the thick dark
ness. All was still as death for a moment,
when another stick cracked and there
was a rustling in the leave:.. He clutch
ed his rifle firmly, put his finger on the
trigger, and pointed it in the threatened
direction, ready to blaze away at the sight
of any object. Nothing appearing, Smith
concluded ant, after all, it must have
been an alligator or some other denizen
of the tbrest t hat he heard. tic was
speedily undeceived, however, for the
terrible form in blue stood before him ere
be could think. At first Smith was start
led and almost thunderstruck, but being
naturally a brave man, he quickly recov
ered his self-pmsession and fired his gun,
aiming for the breast of the form in front.
The object fell, with a deep groan, to the
ground, there was a tumbling in the bush
es for a moment, and all was still. A
dozen soldiers bounded to the spot, but
the man in blue was gone
They were perplexed greatly, and it
was the most wonderful mystery to all
how the •‘ old blue devil" got away.
Some looked on with fear, a few voted it
a capital joke, but nearly all declared that
the old fellow was a cute one.
After that night no more was ever seen
heard of the man in blue on the picket
One Sunday night the African church
at Hilton Head was crowded with colored
people. A negro left the church in the
midst of the services, and impelled partly
from fear and partly from love of country,
he made his Nt•ay ,to the quarters of the
General commanding. With blanched
cheeks, he declared that his " ole masses"
was in the church disguised as a black
man. A squad of soldiers hurried to the
church, and surprised " ole massa" very
sensibly, by placing him between a file of
bayonets and marching him to the guard
house. A vigorous application of soap
and water soon made his black face toler
ably white. A search of his person re.
suited in finding-drawings of the Union,
forts and full plans of our fortifications.
His body was enveloped in a coat of mail,
said to bo bullet-proofl Finding himself
caged, he made a clean breast of the
matter, acknowledging himself as the
man who wore the blue overcoat. His
story was that having entered the Union
hues as a spy, and coming in possession
of the desired information, he became
very anxious to escape. Night after
night he endeavored to pass the picket
line, but was detected and fired upon by
the vigilant sentinels. He was frequent
ly struck on his coat of mail, but the bul
lets invariably glanced off and he escap
ed unharmed. When a sentinel fired he
pretended to be shot, and then, under the
cover of (Gskness and dense foliage he
always managed to crawl away before the
soldiers reached the spot.
He was executed as a spy.
Not Good Enough for Him
In the days of the good old colony Of
Virginia, the distinctions of rich and
poor were based' upon laws which, like
those of the Medes and Persians—altewd
not One of the most devout followers of
this code was a wealthy planter, living in
what is known as the Northern Neck.
He was in all respects a frank, open-heart
ed, manly gentleman ; but his estimate of
his fellow men was founded upon the
principles that governed his selection of
his horses—blood. Wealth, too, was by
no means au unimportant feature with
hint. He had our human weakness, and,
like all of us, was influenced more than
he even believed, -by pounds, shillings,
and pence.
This Mr. G—had quite a large fam
ily, and among them was a daughter
whose beauty was the standing toast of
the country. 'She was just eighteen, and
budding into lovely womanhood. Not
only was she beautiful in person, but her.
amiable disposition and many accomplish.
ments made her more than ordinarily at
tractive, and half the gentlemen of the
Northern Neck were already sighing for
her love.
There was in the country at this time a
young man who was already rising high
in the esteem of his neighbors. He came
of good family, but was, as yet, a poor
young surveyor; who had spent much of
his time in traversing unknown forests,
with nothing but his compass for his
guide; and his chain for his companion,
locating land and settling disputed titles.
He was a model of manly beauty, and ex
celled in all the varied feats of strength
in which the olden time Americans , rook
such pride. He was calm and reserved,
and there was about him a dignified sweet
ness of demeanor that accorded well with
his frank independence of character. He
ti'-as a groat favorite with all who knew
him, and there was no gathering to which
he was not asked.
Mr. G— seemed especially to like
the young man, and it was not long before
he insisted that the latter should abandon
all ceremony in his visits to him, and
come and go when he pleased. The in
vitation was heartily given, and as prompt
ly accepted. The young man liked the
planter, and he found th society of the
beautiful Nary G— a very strong at
traction. The result was that he was
frequently at the planter's residence ; so
frequently, indeed, that Mrs. G—felt
called upon to ask her husband if he did
not think it wrong to permit him to enjoy
such unreserved intercourse with their
daughter. The father only laughed at
the idea, and said he hoped his daughter
knew her position too well to allow any
thing like love for a poor surveyor to
blind her to her duty to her
Nevertheless Mary G-- was not so
fully impressed with this conviction of
duty, as was her father. She found more
to admire in the poor surveyor than in all
her wealthy and aristocratic suitors; and
almost before she knew it, her heart pass
ed out of her keeping, and was given to
him. She loved him with all the honesty
and - devoid!) of her ill/re heart; and she
would have thought it a happiness to go
out with him into the back woods and
share his Plagues and troubles, no matter
how much sorrow they might bring to her.
Nor did she love iu vain. The young
mati, whose knowledge of the world was
afterwards so great, had not then learned
to consider as binding the distinctions
which society drew between his position
and that of the lady. lie knew that in
all that makes a man, in integrity and
honesty of purpose, he was the equal of
any one. ide believed that, except in
wealth, he stood upon a perfect equality
with Mary and loved her honest
ly and manfully, and no sooner had he
satisfied himself upon the state of his own
feelings than he confessed his devotion,
simply and truthfully, and received from
the lady's lips the assurance that she
loved him dearly.
Scorning to occupy a doubtful position,
or to cause the lady to conceal aught
from her parents, the young man' frankly
and manfully asked Mr. 0- for his
daughter's hand. Very angry grew the
planter as he listened to the audacious
proposal. He stormed and swore furious
ly, and denounced the young man as an
ungrateful and insolent upstart.
"My daughter has always been accus
tomed to riding in her own carriage," he
said. " Who arc you, sir.".
" A gentleman, sir," replied the young
man, quietly; and he left the house.
The lovers were parted. The lady
married soon after, a wealthy planter, and
the young man Went out again into the
world to battle with his heart and conquor
his unhappy passion. He subdued it;
but although he afterwards married a
woman whom he loved honestly and truth
fully, and who was worthy of his love, he
was never wholly dead to his first love.
The time passed on; and the young.
man began to reap the reward of his
labors. Etc had never been to the house
of Mr. C— since his cruel repulse by
the planter; but the latter could not for
get him, as his name soon became familiar
in every Virginia household. Higher
and higher he arose every year, until be
gained a position from which he could
look upon the proud planter. Wealth
came to him, too. When the great strug
gle for independence dawned, and he was
in his prime, a happy husband, and one
of the most distinguished men in Amer
ica, The strugule went on, and soon the
" poor surveyor" held the highest and
proudest position in the land.
When the American army passed in
triumph through the streets of Williams
burg, the ancient capital Virgihia, after
the surrender of Cornwallis, the officer
riding at the head of the column chanced
to glance up at one of the neighboring
balconies, which was crowded with ladies.
Recognizing one of them, he raised his
bat and bowed profoundly. There was
a commotion un the balcony, and some one
wanted water, saying . Mrs. Lee had faint
ed. Turning to a young man who rode
near him, the officer said, gravely :
"Henry, I fear your mother has faint
ed. You had better leave the column,
and
,go to her."
The speaker was George Washington,
once the "poor surveyor," but then emu
mander-in-chief of the armies of the
United States. The young man was Col
onel Henry Lee, the coo wander of the
famous "Light Cavalry Legion ;" the
lady was his mother, and formerly Miss
G., the belle of the "Northern Neck."

Time Enough---Don't Eat so Fast.
'Like all Arnericans, we,are inclined to
eat too fast at all times, whether we have
anything
,to do, or not. -But wo have
learned to eat slowly at railroad stations,
whatever we may do at home- .or in the
restaurant. If any -one will take the
trouble to compare the capacity of the
human stomach with the amount of food.
which may be inserted the aperture of the
size of the esophagus in ten minutes, con
tinued labor, he will find.a balance on-the•
side of the knife and fork—that is, on the
outside. Talking consumes -much more
time in the ordinary meal than 'the. mere
process of cutting the food; mastioating•
and swallowing. When' a person has
nothing to do but eat he can dispose of
more than enough, and deliberately, too;
in less than ten minutes. Pew persons
realize this, and it was only after several
years of traveling eaperiehec that we did
so ourselves. 11 any a_tinan.hay.eye:rush
ed off the _cars,. drove i n to the refreshment
soloon,' in a fever of anxiety;' with' only
fifteen minutes-to eat a dinner, while we
had always taken fully an hour at home.
In common with the rest of the passen
gers, we would call for four or five waitaz
ers at once, gave our order's with a haste
that forbade choice; and move about ner
vously on our chair. with one eye on the
clock, until the food was before us—then
came the tug of war. Like_those of our
companions, our knife and fork would ply
to and-from our mouths with a rapidity
that made a thought of proper' mastica
tion ridictilous. It was like - mowing hay
—one net of teeth coUl3not keep up with
two hands and a knife. They managed,
however, to be ready for every fresh sup
ply—so touch the worse for the stomach;
but the most absurd part of all was the
grand finale—walking up and down the
platform for five minutes after we were
through—waiting for the cars to start—
stuffed,- panting, uncomfortable, with a
prospect of indigestion before us, and five
minutes to spare.
Drinking Standing.
The New York Tinges, in au elaborate
article on the causes and practice of in
temperance, makes the following original
remarks upon drinking standing. It says:
" Some traveler has said that one of the
greatest promoters of the most bold intem
perance, and of ruin to health and charac
ter in America, is the universal - habit of
`drinking standing.' 'lt is the custom 'of
the ruin-shops; it belongs to a bar. Some
of our clubs wisely forbid it. When men
drink in this way, there is no,genuine so
ciality, no
. mild stimulation,
s no conversa
tion, seldom wine or perhaps beer. There
can be no music or the presence of Wo
men and families; there _is simply the
pouring hurriedly down of the most
concentrated and dangerous . forni - of
stimulant, without wit, talk or society in
any form. It' animals drank, we should
call such a habit brutish drEtkinn.. It is a
custom dangerous to health and destruc
tive to morals; it belongs exclusively to
America and England, where the worst
intoxication prevail 4. When people take
their stimulants over a table, in the open
air, listening to MUSIC, or with their wives
.and sisters and children, there will selcietn
be much of degrading intoxication.
Any one who has seen the beer-gardens
of Germany, or the auberges of Southern.
France, and will compare them to a Lon
don porter-house or New York saloon,
will be convinced of this. Indeed, one
has only to visit the German beer-gardens
on the southern borders of the Park on a
Sunday, and compare them with the
Fourth or Sixth Ward corner groceries or
liquor salouns, to be certain of its general
truth.' •
A Live Gorilla at Barnum's.
For the first time there is a live gorilla
in New York—a gorilla like those of which
Du Chaillu has told so many wonderful
stories in " Equatorial Africa" and "Ash
a ngo Land."
For fire years pas( Mr. Barnum has
- been endeavoring to secure an animal of
this species, and ordered his agent in
Africa to secure one without regard to
cost.
Mr. B. F. Clayton, Mr. Barnum's agent,
a few months since, wrote that he could
secure one for SS,OOO, but that the British
government were making every exertion
to secure it for the Zoological Garden in
London. - Mr. Barnum sent word that he
must have this one if it cost him a much
greater sum. Accordingly the gorilla was
brought to this country, and is now safe
at the museum.
When standing upright it is about five
and a half feet in height, and is about' the
color of an elephant. Itg face has more
the appearance of a human being than of
a monkey, with an eye exactly like that of
a human being. Its hand is as delicate
as that of a woman's, and it would not
seem possible that there is in it such mus
cular over.

A pupil of the Abbe Sicord gave the
following extraordinary answers:
What is gratitude? Gratitude is the
memory of the heart.
What is hope ? Irope is the blossom of
happiness.
What is the difference between hope

What is eternity ? A day without yes

end.
What is time? A line that has two
ends; a path that begins in the cradle

the public with the best practical information in

Farmers' Sons.
It' is "not the custom now for a farmer's
son to grow . up on the farm, work as his
father - worked before him, and bring up
his family at the old homestead, or, what
is better yet, in a now one and a finer one.
Young men seek the cities. They wish to
dress in fine clothes all the time and stand
behind counters. They get an education
and consider it wasted unless they engage
in commercial pursuits and become " citi
zens," instead of " countrymen." We
have great respect for the commercial in
terests of the nation, and do not wish to
join the popular sneer at counter-jumpers
:and clerks. We have aced for young men
in every department of honest labor.
But we do.- think that the hard out-door
-work of agriculture is better calculated to
develop manliness of character than the
confined labors of the counting-house or
shop. Farming is not enough respected
by the nation in comparison with the
mercantile pursuits. Young men, too, in
a majority of instances, desert the farm
and seek, the city because they wish to
escape the harder labor which is supposed
to be the lot of the farm. They wish to
lead an easier life than their fathers led,
and attain the same success. A few years
of expericace behind the counter or the
desk dissipate the idea that the mercantile
life is the easier one; but at first view it
has fascinations to the young man's eye
which agriculture has not. Is there not
considerable of laziness in this rush to the:
city of farmers' sons ? We need a certain
amount' of fresh blood and fresh brain
from the rural districts in every branch of
metropolitan industry; but we do not need
the rush of applicants for positions which
lowers the salaries here, while the rural
districts are suffering for work' hands.--.N .

TREATMENT OF MILCH Cows.—l look
on a cow as similar to a steam boiler; no
matter how good they may be, unless the
boiler is well supplied with water and
good fuel, also well attended to, the sup
ply of steam will be short, or it will be
in proportion to the fuel and attention.
So also the cow"; no matter how good she
may be, if she is not well and plentiful
fed and cared for, product will be shor
tened.
Another very ; important matter with
cows is that they should be protected from
storms and bad weather. They should be
fed; and kept under shelter -when the
nights are wet and inclement; this more
particularly in the early season, when the
cow is fresh and:in full milk; one exposure
to a cold, wet night has frequently reduc
ed the milk to one-half. Also in the fall,
when the nights become frosty, never let,
them remain out; be particular to :stable
them; and in the morning never turn them
out on the pasture till the frost is melted
off-by the sun, as nothing, perhaps, dries
a cow or reduces her milk more than
eating grass with the frost on it. To many
of these requirements the generality of
farmers pay no attention whatever. In
the early season, as soon as there is any
pasture whatever, the cow is turned out
of the barn-yard to eat what she may
find, and remain day cud night, until the
winter comes; there is also nothing grown
or fed to eke out the vanty supply of
pasturage that almost invariably occurs at
some time each season. This is all wrong
and should be remedied by the cultivation
of roots or corn.
Two 21.1o..grtts FOIL NOTIIING.—Look
at this gear. We have received the
American .A.,/riculturist for 'October. We
wish that all our friends could see this
paper. We know of no way in -which so
large an amount of truly valuable, inter
esting, and instructive reading matter
could be given to a family at so small a
price as the subscription to the Agricul
turist. Each number contains 32 to 40
large quarto pages, and 30 to 50 fine
engravings, many of them very costly and
beautiful. Here, in this October number,
we find, in addition to the great amount
of valuable information, hints, suggestions,
etc., more than 30 engravings, several of
which are among the most expensive ever
found in an Illustrated Journal. This
number is of itself really worth a year's
subscription. The cost of the 4merican.
Agriculturist is only $1.50 for a year, in
advance, or four copies for $5. The pub
lishers offer that valuable journal free for
the remaining two months of this yearto
all new subscribers for IS6S, (Vol. 27,)
who send in their subscription during
this month of October. We advise all
our readers to secure it on these terms.
It will be sure to benefit all fathers and
mothers, and interest and instruct the
children. Subscriptions should. be sent
to the publishers. Orange Judd & Co.,

To C L EA>: GLovEs.—Have a little
milk in a saucer, and a piece of common
yellow soap. Wrap round the forefinger
a piece of flannel, and dip it into the milk,
taking care not to make the flannel very
wet; rub it on the yellow soap, and after
wards pass it up and down the glove, until
all the dirt is removed. This will be
very quickly done, and the most delicate
colors may be safely cleaned by this easy
process.
CABBAGE SAL:CE.—Take a scant cup of
vinegar. let it boil, beat an egg with
two tablespoons of sugar; a little salt and
pepper; then stir in this egg a little cold
vinegar; after this is prepared, put all in
your boiling vinegar; let it just boil up
and it is ready to pour over your cold
slaw or lettuce. If you wish it richer,
put in two eggs. Some prefer the sauce
cold, before pouring it on lettuce.
Com; BRE&E.r.s.sr CA.K.E.--Mis well
one pint of Indian meal, two tablespoonsful
of sugar, one tablespoonful of salt, one tea
spoonful of sodn, and two of cream tartar.
Mix rapidly and thoroughly these ingre
dients in a pint of sweet milk, in which
you have beaten one egg, and add a piece
of butter the size of an egg. Bake in a
shallow pan twenty minutes in a hot oven.
WE cannot all of us be beautiful, but
the pleasantness of a good-humored look
is denied to none. We can, all of us,
increase and also strengthen the family
affections and the delights of home.
