THE m—MUHBh [From the BomtkeepeFt Friend.'] As a general rule, it is economical to buy the best articles. The price :s, of course, always higher; but good articles spic iest. It is a Sacrifice of money to buy poor flour, meat, sugar, molasses, butter, cheese, lard, Ac., to say nothing *of the in jurious effect upon the health. Of West India sugar and molasses, the Santa Cruz and Porto Rico are considered the best. The Havana is seldom clean. White sugar irom Brazil is sometimes very good. Refined sugars usually contain most of the saccharine substance; there fore there is probably more economy in using loaf, crushed and granulated sugars, than we should at first suppose. Rich cheese feels soft under the pres sure of the finger. That which is very strong is neither good nor healthy. To keep one that is cut, tie it up in a bag that will not admit flics, and hang it up in a cool dry place. If mould appear on it, wipe it off with a dry cloth. The small, white sago, called pearl sago, is the best. The large, brown kind lias an earthy taste. These articles and tappioca, ground rice, Ac., should be kept covered. The best rice is large, aud has a clear fresh look Old rice sometimes has little black insects inside the kernels. The crackeb cocoi is the best; but that which is put up in pound papers is often very good. To select nutmegs, prick them with a pin. If they are good, the oil will instant ly spread around the puncture. Keep coffee by itself, as its odor affects other articles. Keep tea in a close chest or canister. Bread and cake should be kept in a tin box or stone jar. Cranberries will keep all Winter in a fir kin of water in the cellar. Potatoes should be put into tho cellar as soon as they are dug. Lying exposed to tlte Sun turns them green, and makes them watery. Some good housekeepers have sods laid over barrels of potatoes not in immediate use. to prevent them from sprouting in the Spring, turn them out upon the cellar bottom. To thaw frozen potatoes, put them in hot water. To thaw frozen apples, put them in cold water. Neither will keep long af ter being frozen. Stove Polish. —Make a weak alum wa ter, and mix your British lustre with it; let the stove be cold, and brush it with the mixture ; then take a dry brush and lustre, and rub the stove till it is dry. Should any part, before polishing, become so dry as to look gray, moisten it with a wet brush, and proceed as before. By two ap plications a year it can be kept as bright as a coach body. Bullet Biscuit. —Take two teacups of butter, and rub it well in some dry flour; then add two eggs well beaten, and one quart of sweet milk, with flour enough to make it very stiff dough. Knead it well, and then add to it one half its size of light dough; knead together and let it rise. When light roll it out and cut into round cakes, prick with a fork and Lake. Scouring Knitcs. —A small clean pota toe, with the ends cut off, is a very conve nient medium of applying brick dust to knives, keeping it about the right moisture, while the juiee of the potato assists in re moving stains from the surface. We can get a better polish by this method than any other we have tried and with less la bor. If armless and sure cure far ]\urts. — Take two or throe cents worth of sal am moniac, disolved in a gill of soft water, and V&t the warts frequently with this solution, and they will disappear in the course of & sr.e.et or two. Doughnuts. —lake one quart of light dough, a piece of an egg, and one halftea cupiul of sugar, knead well together, roll out thin, cut any form you wish, and drop in a pan of boiling lari. Remove them when of a light yellow color. Cool:ies. —Five cups of flour, two of su gar, one of butter, one teaspoonful ofsaler atus, three eggs, and some caraway. Bake thin. 3P3LTJTT THESSi HAVING accepted an agency for the Mor ris Nurseries, West Chester, Pa., I am prepared to order and furnish all kinds of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, 3w> Apple Trees for Summer, Autumn or Winter, Pear Trees do do do Dwarf Pear Trees, Peach Trees, Plum Trees, Apricot I rees,Ornamental Trees, Grape Vines, Strawberries, Gooseberries, Raspberries, Lawton Blackberrry, &0., Ac.

These desirable qualities have all been combined in the flat top Gas Burning Cooking Stove, the DAYLIGHT.

In many of the suggestions of that communication they see nothing unreasonable, though it would require much labor to give in detail the various items l a thinks ought to be published. Others (fox * lor instance) are paid by the Treas urer on certificates from Justices of the Peace, and are therefore riot properly within the jurisdiction < f the Commissioners; oth er. are probably so interwoven with general or der- as to render a separation extremely dif ficult.

JTS - W f) Simple and Economical! MANY attempts have been made to produce a Cofi'ee I'ot capable of condensing and retaining >he aroma and strength of the Coffee ordinarily wasted by evaporation, and yet be simple enough to come within the limits of or dinary comprehension. Hitherto this desirable end has been very irtperfecdy attained, and by means difficult to explain and understand. THE OLD EMPIRE COFFEE POT has none of those faults ; on the contrary it is so arranged as to condense perfectly, and there by retain all the rich fragrance and strength of the Coffee, giving a most delicious beverage at a quarter less expense, and yet is so perfectly simple that :t is actually impossible to raake any mistake.
