Psalm 207. In arcoriianco with the ivrockmntion of our Chief Magistrate, and with the laudable and time-honored custom of our country, we nre met to celebrate the day as one of thanks giving and prayer. Not as partisans of any political sect are We assembled, nor as seeming to favor or disfavor any political policy ot the past, pre sent or future, but as Christians and loyal citizens of nil pnrties. As Christians we are met to thank God for the gathered fruits of the earth ; for the continuance of henlth ; for the prosperity of industry ; for the preservation of order and tranquility throughout our borders, anu for, the manifold blcsaiugs God has heaped upon us unworthy. As loynl citizens of the Federal Govern ment of the United States, we are met to give thanks for the victories God basevouch snfed us over armed traitors, and. moreover, humbly to beseech Him to renew and in crease His merciful favor toward Us, during the year to come, so that Hebeilion being overthrown, pence may bo restored to our distracted country. Such are the terms of the instrument put forth bv the Governor of our State : and it is to be hoped, ami presumed, 1 lint as lnw- I nbitlinsl. patriotic, und (.'hrUtiHn people, ! your prayers mul thanksgiving will ascend lurorillilnly. , I shall not not detain yoti with nliy nt : tempted display of oratory nnd patriotism, : with a scrap of erip!ttfe tno;ueil to iu as an eciise ; nor pliall I be able to entertain you ' wit!t nny highly litiisheil and elaborate pro duction on some curious subject, as is not ; itiil'ieipiently the order j but shall invite your attention to the obvious teaching ot , our text adapted ai fir as possible for the occasion : 1'su.m '-1'. 7 : "Some trust in j chariot-), anil some in horses, but xre will re ' inctiiber the name of the Lord our God."' ! The ui- of horses hikI chariots in war, so j common in early ages, and still more com l inon 4m,r. in the shape of cavalry, was pro ! hibiti d to tlie Isiai-litc. It was a statute. peculiar. I think, to the Mosaic Law; but by no means, an arbitrary dictum of their Law Vx'w it-Mosc.-'. It was. founded on the nature of their national policy. .I'kack was one the fundanientni princi ples of their slate, w hich was repugnant to a thirst for cottriu'-st, for every man 'w as a landholder : ami li.uht and darkness are not more opposed to ccii other, than war and huslmrul, !!. t'on-i ipiently. we find no other army n 1 1 1 ; them ilian the citizens thctn selvcs, who held t!n ir land on the condition f .military hit ice when renuircd. Hence, cuvidfY on.li hariots wt re lirohibited, as thev nre not only, the rrw f Wnr, but also pro ductive Til' the passion to. wv-. . With their wild liiM-seuien sweeping along like n l--:. cane, and tln-ir iron, scj the-urmed chaTiots, rushing tit full spi ed among the ternhed ranks of the tnctny, the savage commanders of the dav cartied on their warfare. On these thev were want to trust, ns the sacred history bears ample testimony, and were as often defeated, when opposed to that grander faith "on the name tit the Lord our God." When down trodden Israel unorgnnizen and helpless, came out from Egypt, pursued by 1'uariob with tus mm cnoscn cnunois, at'.d all the hoi-senu-n and chariots of the land, Israel thought they had come out to die. But the exalted trust of thetr leader on the name of the Great "I am," cued out "stand still and see the salvation of the Lord." By tho breath of heaven, the sea was divided, ami Israel crossed ; but the j- , rvntmn tUll(i p,rioh and his host i c.-. - . , I .nvai im lenel .iTm 111, IV lovnllSlV v.a,iw,v,, j uiiL-lit the neoplc nave sunn "Mime trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God." Annie: Long subsequent to tlr.s, when tho Prophet Bamuel gathers the people at Mizpcil to repent of their sins, and endta vor to break rhilistiu's fetters that had shocked them for them 20 years ; they are suddenly confronted by the harnessed armies of their toes, lsut wlnlo tlie nalt-armeii, half-clothed, and perhaps, half-starved multitude cower m their terier. the t'ro nhet nravs to heaven: and the thunder and li'dittiiu!' of the Bavior God, hurl rout and ruin on the attacking squadron; in answer to that trust, which is not on horses and chariots, but on the name of the Lord But once more ; when iennneiicriu in ades Judca, canturing all his cities, but Jerusalem, which he comes to last, with an overwhelming force; his resistless power makes his terms intolleratiie, ami iiu"ian guano insulting, io resist, ir , ,.Be , I Hootl, tw atnrvntlon. or fr L'httl l shlllL'hter would be the result, and to surrender, gene ral robbery, outrage, and servitude.

"The true KCni (UCceM, both ai individual, and as - ontemo trust W uoa I" To acomnlish this for ourselves at Indl 'A kM tt,a n.rtlrnUr widuals, we need only behold th( providence of God, tbat bas each lhouKb bis far-d.rl viuuhib, wj mw , . eacn 01 ua mr darling glance t sured rpace, ond his potent sceptre reaches to the remotest star, that sparkles iu the vault f heaven, he sees and touches each Individual creature In all. The minuteness of his providence, is no less gUrious and wonderful, than the gran deur of his government. His infinity adapts Him to all circumstances, and iu cludesU conditions. Events, the greatest and tlu least, are equally known to and controled by hius. The gorgeous explosion of a burning world U not more noticed than the smoking of a straw. The hugo mountain chains that rib the earth, obtrude themselves no more upon the arc of Ilia vision, than tho little furrows of a ganhn. The magnificent hues of tho rain bow spannbg the Urmnncnt, from horizon to horizin are no moro his work and admira tion tlan the painted down on a butter fly's w.ng. The worm and the serpent, the mouse and the cltphant, the minnow and the whale, the gnat aid tho eagle, each attract to itself, its ij(ptrntfl and equal share of notice.

Ho guides the arrow, drawn it a venture, to the heart of the King. Ho disposes the lot mt is cast carelessly into tin lap ; and he numbers the hairs of our heJ. Supjose not then, for a moment feliow Christiin and fellow man, that you are un knowns God; or that your affairs are too small anl trilling to claim his attention. Thougl legions of shining beings of supe rior mirbt and mould, arc ever in his pre sence, tiling high-heaven with their lofty praises, they divert not-his attention from you auc.mc. Were you the only creature God ever made, :ou could not be more the object of his cat t and notiee. Yourwhole life from birth to death, is before fijii open. You whole conduct, good anl bad, is written down. Your every idle wed, stray tho desire, and fugitive thoughtare remembered. ') Lord, thou hast searched and known me,"ayttho Psalmist. "Thou knowest my down-siting, nnd my uprising; thou under tnndcstmy thought alar off. Thou com pascst ny pafh'and my lying down, and art ncrtainted with all my ways, for there is not aord in my tongue, but lo, O Lord, thou kindest it altogether." "His e'os" also, "are in every place be holding he evil nnd tho good" There is neither hire nor state hidden from his view, nonsecure from his power. If you would hiik lrom him, a mnunUtin could not cover you. ! If you would llue from him, tlie speed of thiught could not aid you. Whither sliull I flee torn thy presence?" continues tho Psalmit ; "If I ascend up into heaven thou art the : if I make my bed iu hell, be hold, tliotjiu-t there. If 1 take tie, wings of tho morning and" dwell in 'io .uttermost parts of the sea; even there sVill thv hand lead mo, and thy rjittit-linml Li.l me. If I tav, surely the tiarkness shall cover me, r l nicht shall be light uttfut me, for the darkness and the light are both alike unto thee." His eoutrol of us, body and soul, is equally absolute. "In Him we live and move, andiiave our being." "Ia His hand is tho eoulof every living thing, and the breath of aj mankind." We are the clay and He thopotter. Our times are in Ilis hand, und 11 we have at his sovereign dis posal. "II-hath made of one blood all the nations of ien, and hath determined the times Ijcfot; appointed and the bounds of their liiibitilion," Such i te minute providence and the general govrnmeut of our God, dear breth ren. Is it Sell as may be relied upon ! Can you opposeor thwart it? Is there anything yon cau sugest, or imagine, that God bus not autieipjed? Is ther'e. anything you want he caitot give ? What hig handed wickedness can hu not punish ; or bscure merit can he not reward? what conditti of life can he not make tither better ot tcont and which of you can he not kill or tickenot damn for your sins ; or heal or irusper, omve, of his mercy ? Our it'ts.Le a crystal vase, are suspended by a synglclireud upon, his linger, which he may drnjiiud shatter iuto fragments ut any niomeiij Our lieulj is the exact agreement of a thousand naual conditions and influences of mind uutiody, which may be domaged and ruiuedby the slightest jar of out of tliein. f Our circpstances of failure or success in business omofession and our lot of pain or pleasure hiie world, are hung upon a long chain of solidary causes and effects, every link ol wIJi is 1 urged, either by tho per mission, of.ircct agency of our heavenly Father. And yetfe, ephemeral insects of a sum mer's duy'ie to-day, and gone to-morrow ; whiffed aljt in our ignorance, by every , wind of til ri ne, would distrust our All Wise, Alnjhty, and all-loving God. We would talfhe bit between our teeth, and ; gallop oniedless of the driver. We would snatch thielm from the hand of the Om nipotent fit, to steer ourselves, amid the world's likers. Wc would seize our fate and fortuj in our own hand, and .tear It from its inection In God's providence, to carve out atbs for ourselves, and fashion thiugs BUfdiug to our own notions. We pj and struggle with the energy of despair tiiake ourselves safe. We clutch at every (ting rock, and tie a line of assu rance ard it, that nothing may move us. All outlans nre based on ourselves or friends, i our already acquired resources on our file inventive faculty, or, ou some dj last-resort which wo keep se cretly lotd in vur bosoms against the duy ot tribufn. But xeWtt that "there Is a Divinity that sha) our ends, rough hew them, how we will.) We forgot to say. "ir God will." Yes ! "pt the Lord build tbe house, they labor inkin, that build it.

Mil tha life God. n. Irast es God as a ni'.ian not-lest than as individunU, is tho secret of success. Individuals mako up tho nation ; nnd ns aro their principles and actions, will bo the na tion's morality and deeds. A nation is not n person has no soul to be responsible before God. It is the indi vidual members of it, who have souls, arc responsible, and give it character. As aro the people, therefore, will be tho nation. If the individual's faith secures his success, the people's faith will obviously se cure their success. But Is it not a fact, ns undeniable as it is sad, that our national faith has not been or thodox. I do not sny, that other nations are better. All nations nre wicked. But it does not alter the fact that we have trusted in chariots and horses, more than in the name of the Lord. The few acts of national piety put forth in public fasts and thanks givitiL's will not atone for deep corruption and general indifference. fetich appointments, however, good m themselves, can have little influence for good, when not observed by the powers that issue them ; or, if counter-balanced by blas phemy and drunkenness on the part of our generals and governors; or, if despised anc'. sneered nt by the bulk of tho people, who believe that God favors the heaviest artill ery. To this spirit of infidelity, nnd Intense capnality of mind, that pervades all classes, many, it not all our evils may hu attributed. Hence, it is no more true, as one uartv oflirms, that tho war has been a complete suc cess; than ns the vticr avers, that it has been u complete failure ' Our twenty-six millions of people, our exhaustless means, our grand preparations, and gigantic armies, havo promised far more than they have accomplished. Much, indeed, has, been done, but little tor the force employed and the blood and treasure expended. 1 here lias been humiliation to us in our struggle. What appeared but a summers pic-nia for a few thousand volunteers, has drawn itself out to three years of bloody carnage: aud has employed a constant force of half a million of men, raised, and sus tained by the steru and unpopular crnscrip-tion- Llid our enemies compare us to the Per sians, wjth their invading millions, repulsed by a tithe of their numbers; or to the As syrians, and Piilistines defeated by a hand ful of Hebrews, the parallel in conduct, would at least hold good. Tiny trusted iu their horses, and charoits, nnd so have tee: and if our fate has not been as disastrous as theirs, it is not but that we have deserved it. The good general, the heavy nrmnment, the strong force, the convenient base of sup plies, the horses nnd chariots in fact, have been tho ground of our hopes. The highest sentiment, perhaps, that has ever animated the nation and whispered of success, was that of abstract ri'jht. Never has it risen to the sublime altitude of the Psalmist faith trust on God. Hut the comparison to Zeixcs, and- Sen nacherib is not t rue. We have been long held at bay and per haps by an inferior force, but not defeated. o liar. not. been wholly successful, thus lar, but we have not failed. We have had cause to mourn, so have we had to rejoice : lout much to dejdore, but gained iauv.i to give thanks. Taken unawares nt the beginning, we have but lately lenrnt the art of war; but lately discovered what wo had to do, and how we must tlo it. Now we have able commanders, efficient forces, nnd complete organizations. Our armies are in the very heart of the confederacy, our navies are w al ling iu the gulf ol' .Mexico, and the athtntic coast with grim iron monitors, while our light draught gun-boats clear the rivers, and our swift steemers sweep the seas; protect ing our own and destroying the enemy's commerce. And not tocatnlogue minor successes the tearing up of the enemy's railroads and means of communication, the destruction of factories, war material and sources of sup ply, cavalry raids which for brilliancy and success have never been equalled, and tho imprisonment of the grand army of the con federacy around the walls of Richmond and Petersburg much rebel territory has been reclaimed, many sections have already return ed to their allegiauce, and w hole dates are waiting to ctipitulatc, or return uncondition ally, and aro only deterred by that iron despotism that rules the outh. Substantial victories have crowned every arm of the service. The last few months, have added the fall ot Atlanta, the capture of tho Mobile forts, the splendid exploits of Sheridun, in the valley, nnd the capture of Plymouth N. C. The Pirate Alabama was sunk while boast ing in the presence of her aiders and abettors olf Cherbourg. Tho Florida her mate in piracy nnd iutamy is now a captive in our hands ! and the Albemarle the monster iron rum, and uaval hope of the confederacy now lies beneath the vatert of Plymouth Harbor. The feeble naru of the South is either driven inland among the mud und recda of inaccessible rivers, or lyiug, tor protection, beneath the guns of some harbor fort, while our oicn, invincible armadas are blockading all their ports, and by their oft nnd valuable captures, are defraying much of their cost aud expense, and enriching their sailors and marines. ' lu addition to this, by reason of the ae eumulated wealth of the nation, by reason of the prorit of trade which exceed our ex penditures; am! of the increased efficiency of industry, through improvement aud skillful management, our resources are immense, while those of the South are rapidly failing. The whole North has . become a self-(p-plying aud self sustaining work-shop, produ cing everything we need, in abundance, while tbe South, through the baleful in fluence of slavery the nightmare of tbe South is dependent on foreign nations, for many of her most necessary articles ot con sumption. Our c: edit both at homo and abroad, is good, and still improving; as tho late offer by the Hamburg bankers, of a thousand millions of dollars at a low rate, demonstrate: while theirs is marking a constant decline. .King Cotton has decended from his throne. The price of gold,-with us, though in flated by the operations of unprincipled spe culators, fluctuates between two and three dollais, while below the liue of freedom it is twenty-eight. While our vast revenues, from taxes, tolls and customs, combined with the mineral riches of tbe earth, aud the industrial wealth of tho nation, insure the payment, both principal and Interest of our natrtmal debt to tbe uttermostrfarthing, tho financiers of tne soutn are at tnis moment, reconimnnuing repudiation and threatening a tax nt a buu dred per cent. And our BJtional debt, with woven torn would inrbtea us, is a mcio bug-bear. Tho t.w which both it nnd the Mr now impose, are has than those ol Eng land nnd other prosperous nutious in lime of potce. . Aud ns to our debt beinir the cntise nfnnr ruinand dissolution, it is the strongest bond ui uui preservation, i ne debt is not owed to foreign nations, but to ourselrm. Its ucavy interest is paid to our orn citizens, and goos for the enriching and benefiting ol tho country. And tho fact that the government is acuior to our citizens, w ill rally tnem around it to support it. For in so doing they nre advanciug their oicn interests thev are supporting their families they are securing nie property tney ui realty possess nnd nd ding to their wealth and security. Our crops aud fruits the products of ninny uusuanury nave been uuundanl in quantity, and excellent iu quality. Our trade und commerce havo been un usually active: the advance of art and inven tion hns been very marked : The cause of education and learning has suffered but little, while the spirit of benevolence and philan thropy has breathed upon our wholo peo ple. The land itself tilled by free and willing labor is fertile and cultivated as a garden, while Southern soil lies a waste and ruined wilderness, saturated with human blood, aud peopled by a beggard population of women nnd children. And lastly, our armies are composed of men in their primo and vi gor, while theirs "rob the cradle and the grate" to sustain them : and now in the con vulsive effort of a desperate cause, their Secretary of war, recommends the abolition of all class and ngo in the conscription, ond tho terrible alternative the arming of their uegro slutvs. Prom a dispassionate view therefore, of the whole subject, we believe that our pros pects are bright while tho enemy's aro go ing out in darkness. We believe that the forces of the Union aro winding their iron coils around the throat of the Hebellion with resistless power, and that already the pressure is so itreat, that tho very life is oozing from the fanged jaws of the monster. And is it not an event devoutly to bo de sired and prayed for by all parties ? by every man in tue JNortU this day, whatever bo Ins views ? What good can rebellion and its success dovs? Is net the nations, life our bread and butter our safety and sustinence ! Is not the success of the North, the only condi tion of peace, and tho only hope for cither North or South ? Our success Is only a matter of time, nnd we may ns well hasten it. Tho waves of civilization nnd conquest have always flow ed from the North, nnd so must they now. Not because of the precedents of history, but becausfc we nro lighting for the right, tor free government, and the dignity of lalor: and because too, where two opponeuts nre equally determined, the stronger and more enduring must prevail. The true patriot, and lover of his fellow men, then, is lie who discerning the signs of tho times, nids and hastens this inevitable result, which alone can bring peace and happiness to nsall. But the end is not yet. There is much yet to be done much to suffer and hsc, and uiuoli to (din, 'There are large armies yet to defeat, pern Bpo to. annihilate: Millious of exasperated people to bo reconciled to reconstruction i waste lands to bo re-cultivated, cities to be re-populated, dwellings to be re built, and public confidence to be restoted. There will be multitudes of widows and orphans, aud cripples to bo provided for; disbanded armies spoiled for quiet industry, aud ripe for wild iidveuture, to bo redomes ticntcd. There is, perhaps, a new national constitution to be framed, and above nil, the great question of tho day to be settled the subject of "human sluvery" that shall de termine tho exact status ot tlie colored race: whether they be persons or chattels, men or things. The war w not ended. There remains much to be done by both the sword und the pen, by the hand and the head, .by general ship and statesmanship, e're peaceful plen ty prevail. When the war of steel and bul lets, is ended, that of wit and party may be gin. It may be but a trauMcr to another scene of operations. From the field to the congress, irom the headquarters to tlie cabi net. And who is sufficient for these things ? w ho shall lead us to ccrtaiu victory ? who shall extract the poison from sectional nnd party enmity ? who shall give us equitable laws that shall be binding on all ? and who shall repair, and steer the shattered ship of state f It is here, nt the limit of human ability that the divine element cnnies in. There H no prospect so bright but God can darken ; no success so great but lie can turn to a re verse. Tho shin may weather the tempest of the ocean, and be wrecked at tue entrance ol her harbor. The sokiier may escape the storm of death in a hundred battles, and die by an accident, within eight of home. And so our present exaltation, may be but the precursor, and harbinger of our degrada tion. Our eminence may bo so lofty, that our fall, may be so deep. To Jehovah a nation is a little thing. He can protect it in the hollow of bis hind, or whilt it away by bis brentu. "All tlie In habitants of the earth jire reputed s no thing, aiid he docth according to Lis will in the army of Heaven, and amor.g tbe in habitants of the earth, and none cau stay his hand, or say unto him, what doest thou ?" For nationul corruption, no doubt, has tho scourge been applied. For continued impenitence, has it beeu continued ; and fur our blind self-confidence, our destruction may be imminent. What then, is the pressing duty of the hour, if it be not tho subduing of these cor ruptions, which aro knaxing ut the vitals of the uation : and the forsaking of thU im penitence, which prohibits a cute if And above all, whilo our thankful hearts, recount, this day, tho mercies of our God, and our tongue givo voieeto them in loity praise 1 While we bend every energy, and strain every nevor, to maintain the majesty of the Law, and tho honor of the country: While wo "let slip the dogs of war," and "tempt their three attendants, Lean famine quartering steel, and climbing fire," to quell this Godlcs. rebellion, and snatch lijt Low the jaws of death, our trust should not be lu un arm of flesh, or in sinews of steel, but "on the name of the Lord of Hosts." Then our success will be certain, however, hopo less it may appear to the most despondent or long it'bo delayed.

How n Wrass Oojt wa miide. The etijicestion in the following ' slate. w 0 nieut is of importance to the farmer. In many localities saw-dust is to be obtained in any quantity, frequently for the hauling. All practical facts aro of advantage. They give results arrived at by means that can bo commanded by farmers in general. If tho experiments fail, it is well that all should know it. If they succeed, it is equally well that the knowledgo of it should bo as w ido spread as possible. Mr. H. Lewis stated nt a Into meeting of the Little Foils Farmers' Club, N. Y., thnt on 23 acres he cuts grass enough to feed fifty head oi caltlo. This is tho result of un derdrawing and top-dressing, with saw-dust used to absorb tho excrements1 of his stock. He regards tho liquids as more valuable than tho solids. The conclusion had been arrived ot by experiments. Stakes had been set in postures and meadows to note the effects of liquid nnd solid manures, and the growth of grass is i n favor of liquid manures. Somo few years since ho commenced using saw dust for the absorption of liquid manures, aud spreading the compost on his grass lands, the solid responding in a remarkable manner. Latterly ho had used tho dust at the rate of sixty bushels per week. Tho manure is hauled upon the land and spread out as evenly as possible with a shovel or fork ; it is then brushed and completely bro ken up and distributed. This division and fineness of the manure is regarded as of pe culiar advautagc, since tho plants readily appropriate their food, aud it readies a greater number. About half of the meadow is underdrained with horse shoe tile, tho drains being sunk 8$ feet deep. On this portion ol tho meadow grows- tho lurgest grass. Ktoriiiff Itoot Crops for Winter. The following is from tho Massachuscttg Ploteman, which says that "Mr. M.'s theory is not in accordance with tho practice which prevails w it'u us." We do not care about Mr. M.'s theory but his practice tho result, of his experience surely accords with the practice in Pennsylvania. Does it not so, farmers ? Mr. Mechi, the great English farmer, whose root crops,are tho most extensive of any in the world, gives us tho result of his experiments in preserving them through tho winter, that they should bo housed us soon as dug, and without exposure to the atmos phere. He gives as a reason, that the mois ture upon the surface encourages the de velopment of small fibrous roots which stimulates the vitality of the root and pre serves it from decay. Mr. Mechi'8 theory is not in accordanco with the practice which prevails with us, but ho is a keen observer, and ought to kuow. R E C I P S. & C. Buckwheat Cakes. Mr. Freak, In your paper sometime ago, I saw Mrs. Gage's manner of making buckwheat cukes, and was greatly ustuuished at oue item therein, viz: "If you do not want to return to soda, put no milk in them" Now, we make as excellent buckwheat cakes as can possibly bo round, (if I do say it myself.) They aro scarcely sour or heavv once during the win ter, und their rich brown tint, us they aro brought to the table ''sweet us a nut" and "light us a feather," makes one's mouth fuir ly water. We make them thus, much a Mrs. Gage sloes, with tho exception of milk. For our family a ratner large one wo take about two quarts of water und one pint of milk, mining iu the buckwheat meal, and about half a pint of browu flour, (tho "mid dlings" of wheat.) This we think make them much better than all buckwheat. Stir in two tablespooufulls of salt, two largo tablespooul'ulls of good hop yeast, beat well nnd w hen of tho desired thickness, cover and set tho batter in a warm place, if in cold weather, lo rise, ond by breakfast time next morning they will be up to the top of tho kettle we use a tin kettle. We leave from a pint to a quart of the batter in tho kettle utter each baking, to raise tho next one it not being necessary to make them with fresh yeast more than two or three times during the winter. To this baiter we pour the water, milk and meal as before, for tho next batch. When wo tlo not wish them, for tea, we pour cold water over tbj batter re maining in the kettle, and set it away in a cool place, to keep it from becoming sour, aud pour tho water off when we wish to . mix them again. Too much milk would have a tendency to sour them, and also makes them more difficult to bake; but used in moderate quantities, it. is a great improvement to them, both in taste and ap pearance, e. Cons Brbad. One quart of corn meal, one piut of wheat flour, two eggs, and a little salt, with sour buttermilk suihcicnt to make a stiff batter. Mix thoroughly, and then add one teaspoonfull of soda, dissolv ed in a very little hot water. Stir this in aud pour into well greased pans, sufficient to bo one and a half inches thick when cook ed. Place io a hot oven, and bake until done,, say half an hour. Carry to the table hiit. If till should not be used, bake- over again, and it is about as good as wheu first baked. Half a pint of flour and ono egg will bo very good, but not quite as good as the above. The sourer the buttermilk the better, if it is not bitter. Success depend very much, ou the due proportion of asid and-alkali. Fine meal inuke. invjcU better bread than coarse. If it does, not keep as well, provide less at one time. Dent, or gourd seed corn makes better meal than flint coru. Si me are sb.M:kt'd at the idea of eating drugs with, their food, oauI exclaim against the use of uikrJi in cooking.
