TALES & SKETCHES.
From Peterson'! Ladiea Magacine.
JOIl flREY.
BY SARAH.
"Annie," said I, thia a denr accno to mc,
und yet it makes me almost sad."
"I was just thinking," said Annio, "that
Ecrhaps, it is true that we are leaving the
nppiest days behind. We certainly were
very happy, Nell, when wo used to prepare
for exhibitions of this sort. How odd it
seems to us sitting among the spectators
to-day."
'It is strange to me, Annie ; and I almost
wish myself back again among the boys and
girls. It would- '
'Listen, Nell 1'
I did listen, and such a music and inspira
tion of voice I had never heard. I looked
at Annie in utter amazement.
'Who would ever have thought it ? He
didn't look ua if he could speak like that.'
And, indeed, he did not. Ho was nine
teen or twenty, perhaps; utterly deficient
in personal beauty, and only remarkable
from an air of command that became him
very well. In after years, when I knew him
better, I knew how strong his will really
was, and how absolute was the way that he
held over himself as wll as over others.
Then, I only knew that he was a new-comer
among us that his name was John Grey,
and Hint his home was with old Dr. Brown.
I saw that he was 'strong for life and duty ;'
and I heard, through the tones of his musi
cal voice, that much had been given him
and now I know that much has been re
quired of him.
I wss then a wild girl of sixteen, bad the
reputation of being 'brilliant,' and was, of
course, very conceited. The "Annie" who
sat besido me was my particular friend and
chosen companion. We loved one another,
I think, on account of our marked dissimi
larity of character. Where I was wild and a
bit reckless, as girls of sixteen are wont to
be, she was gentlu and yielding so in al
most everything. On two points alone
wure wc agreed. Our tastes in books and
for books were identical. And in our hearts
"u love of fun" was the very deepest feeling.
Our friends were accustomed to predict
that, if there wa9 any merriment to be had
out of life, we would be the ones to fiud it.
That day wc were at an exhibition given
by the school from which we had graduated
the year before. As I have said, we were
stirred by some sad memories or were they
"coming shadows?" That I know not. I
only know that my dear friend, Annie, is
long since dead ; that at nineteen I find my
self very much alone in the world; and that
John Orey but that is what I was going to
tell.
After a little, John and I were thrown
together as fellow-students in another and
niglicr scuoul. uur classes were the Shine
n i id wc soon beeumc acquainted. Wc were
not the very best of friends at first, because
we were rivals for distinction in our class ;
but he did mo a great favor once.
One evening, bent on some piece of mis
chief, I was out of the building at nine
o'clock two good hours later than the rules
permitted. I was hurrying along whon I
met John. He seemed surprised to sec me.
'Miss Nell,' said he, "do you know what
titue it is ?'
'Of course, I do. You seem to be quite
thunderstruck that I should bo out at nine
o'clock.'
'Not quite,' and he smiled. 'But do you
know what will huppeu if you are found
'It's likely. I'm not such a dolt that I
haveu t learned tho rules before this. But,
pray, do you know what will happen if you
are found out V
'Oh ! I am out on permit. But, seriously,
what is tho penalty V
'I shall be disgraced, and sent home to
my ma. 1 don't care. 1 uui really dying to
get homo to Annie'
'By tho way, how is your friend?'
blic is no worse; but still not well cnougu
to come back to
school, this year, at least.
So I think I'd better go home too. I can't
laugh with the girls here.'
'Why not!
'They don't seem to thiuk that I can
laugh. They are awe-struck ou account of
my learning, I suppose. Certain it is that
they invariably talk metaphysics
aud logic
q mc.
'I pity you !'
'Tliuuk you.'
'But, to return to the subject! suppose I
should report you ('
Well suppose you should ! That dou't
disturb me. I shall be glad to go as jou
will to have me go.'
'How can you tell how glad I shall be ?'
'Oh 1 1 think I appreciate your feelings.'
'You mean by that, that you know how
glad you would bo to have me go.'
'Yes.'
We walked on a little In silence for by
this time he was taking mo back. Finally
I sum.
'Then you mean to report me V For I
was secretly a little auxious about it, though
not much.
He looked down on me with his five-feet-six
and a half of stature, and smiled serene-
'It will be my duty, won't it V
As soon aa I could get my throat clear I
said, I thought likely ; and then remarked
thut there was a lovely moon to-night. He
seemed to bo surprised at the intelligence ;
and I said 'Good night, and thank you, Mr.
Grey,' and ran into the house.
Well, I naturally concluded that I should
bo reported. If he bad no other reason for
it, thu fact that, by removing me, he would
have the coast clear, seemed to be enough.
I only knew him casually ; and I very na
turally mistook him. It was morally certain
that I should be reported and sent Dome.
Before morning I had made up my mind to
it, and was ready for it. . ,
I went to prajera with a determination
that nothing should ruffle me. All went
well until almost noon, when I was sum
moned to Professor Adam's room, I went
to him. Our Professor Adams was a good
looking man of thirty-three or five, to whom
we were all greatly attached. At I entered the
room, he gravely motioned me to be seated.
Ho looked at me steadily and seriously for a
moment then he spoke.
'Wis Thurston, it Is quite as disagreeable
for me to say what I must, aa it can be for
you to hear it.'
Here it was, then, at last. I braced my
self for it. Ho continued,
Laat evening as I returned from too post
office to ray boarding-houae, about nine
o'clock, I saw young lady a the opposite
side of the street. Her evident fcatte first
called my attention to box. Before I oould
reba a aacond look aha had drawn hat veil.
From her heieht and carriage, however, I
' judged it to be Miss Nellie Thuteton.'
H. B. MASSER & CO., SUNBURY, NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENN'A.
SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 14,
He looked at mo for a reply. To gain
time I said, with a scornful laugh, 'It would
have been a fearful undertaking ; and Miss
Nelllo Thurston would have to be a bold
girl to venture out after seven.
'Do you sneer Miss Thurston. If this gets
ouFyou will be sent from here in disgrace.
At present no one knows it except myself
(and he gave me a keen glance) and your
escort; and promise mo that tho offence shall
not be repeated and it shall pass. Other
wise it must become public
He sat with downcast yes and a stern
face, that softened gradually. Vou know,
Miss Nellie, do you not, that I would wil
lingly save you pain ? And believe mo that
I do this for your sake. If you have formed
any school-girlish attachment '
'Give yourself no further trouble, Professor
Adams. I have no time for school-girlish
attachments. 1 am busy with other things.
I thank you equally for the compliment to
my sense. But remember that, before I can
be expelled from school, it must be proved
that it was I whom j-ou saw. If you can
prove it, even to your own satisfaction, then,'
said I, making a mighty effort not to cry, 'you
may proceed as soon as you please.' His
head rested on his hand. After a moment
he said, without looking up.
It shall be as you say. I could save you
from this disgrace ; but you havo decreed
otherwise.'
'Thia disgrace does not hurt me. No
matter." And I swept out of the room with
all tho "style" that school-girls are wont to
assume. The fact was, I was prodigiously
sorry to havo him, of all others, known about
my escapade. All tho other Professors in
school might havo known it, and I would
not have cared. When I was alone, I shed
a few tears over it. It was too bad 1 I said
so over again. If it come before the school,
John would surely report. Well, it was al
most ended, and I must bear it.
The next morning, when wc were all as
sembled for prayers, Professor Adams intro
duced my case. He said it had become his
duty to investigate a certain matter. lie then
mentioned his suspicions, and the grounds
for them. And, said he.
'Young gentleman utid ladies, it is for you
to criminate Miss Thurston. As you know,
we never compel any student to report an
other's misdemeanors. That each one of you
must decide in his own conscience. I will
give you a moment for thought.' There was
a dead silence of perhaps two minutes' dura
tion. 'Miss Nellie, you may riso in your
f)lace.' I did as he bade mc, wondering at
lis tone.
'Now I ask you, do any of you know that
Miss Thurston was out on Tuesday evening?
And how do you know it ?' I waited in
suspense. ' It seemed an age Bince he had
asked the question, and no one had stirred.
I wondereil if John was there. I had not
tuireil to look bctore. cs, there he sat.
looking at mo quietly. The tiuestion was re- !
pcatcd. Still no answer. He had saved me.
'Miss Thuiston,' said Professor Adams, 'I
am most happy to exonerate you from any
blame.' He bowed to us histily, and left
us. Iu the course of the day I managed to
sec John. I thanked him for his gcuerosity.
Ho laughed.
'No thanks, if you please, Miss Nell. You
would have done as much for me, I hope.'
Afterwards I met Professor Adams in the
hall. Ho stopped. 'Miss Nellie.' said he,
'John Grey saved mo a painful duty. Thank
him for it.'
'I do, Professor Adams ; and I have al
ready told him so. I thank yon, too. You
havo been even more generous than he. I
I nm very, very sorry that I was angry yester
i 1 'Say no more nbout it, Nellie; but be very
I careful in the future.
i 'I will try, Professor.'
Well, tho days wore on, and finally vaca
tion camo. I was at home, and was really
' enjoying my rest very much. John had re-
turned to our village, and I saw him almost
i every day. One evening we had been at a
! coucert. I had noticed that he was a little
' more silent than usual. As we walked homo
: he said to me abruptly,
ell, I ant not going hack to school.'
'Why, John?'
'Arc you sorry, Nellie J'
'I am glad you must know that I am.'
'I am glad of that. But I haven't told
jou all. I have enlisted.'
I was Munuud. After a little, I said, quiet
ly. 'You have done right, John.'
'Shall you miss me V
'I shall miss you'
Just thcro he paused abruptly. 'Stand
hero, Nellio, and look at that.' We were on
a little rise of ground. Below us were green
meadows, showing very fair iu the moon
light A stream of water wound its way
through them in many curves. We stood
there for some moments. Then he spoke ab
ruptly as we walked on.
'The chances are that I shall never sec
that again.'
What could I say I Manifestly, nothing.
So I. was silent. After a little, he went on.
It won't matter. There is no one left but
Mary, (his sister ;) and sho will not be left
alone by my death.'
Jobn,' said I, 'it la cruel in you to talk
so. We all would grieve tor you.'
'Ah 1' said he, 'that's some comfort.'
As we nearcd home. 1 asked him when ho
was going. He said on Friday. This was
Wednesday ouly ono day more.
'But,' said he, 'I shall uot see you again.
I roust go to Mary's to-morrow; and
then,' he added, 'I shall not write to you. I
know you detest letters ami letter-writing.-He
smiled a little sadly. 'I shall tell Mary
to let me hear from her that you are well
and happy.' I could not speak. I only
walked on in silence.
Well, Nellie, we are at your home ; and
we must part.' He had taken both my
hands, and was looking straight at me.
'We arc parting, Nellie. It may be a flual
parting. I am taking, perhaps, the last look
iuto your fuco. Give me this ring that you
wear on your lost nnger. i-ei tne iae it
with me. I took it off a heavy gold baud
with an opal settiug and attached it to
bis watch-guard.
'I shall wear it for your sake. In time of
danger I 'shall think of you, and tako cour
age. Good-by, Nellio; you won't forget
roe?'
, aNever. John !'
He kissed me, and was gono. 8o.it was
coded, God help him and keep him.
Do not think that I loved bim, or grieved
fur him. I sometimes wished to see him ;
bnt I never lonccd for him as we do for
thoso we love.
Ms friend. Annie, who had been ill sevor
si mtmtbs, died.. I grieved for Iter exceed
ingly. Then I wont back to school, aBd

I went back to school. It was whisper
ing recess. Ella Day leaned over the back
of my chair.
'Nell, do you remember John Grey ?' I
soid, 'Yes.'
'He is dead !'
Just there my heart ceased beating. But
I was calm.
'How did you hear ?'
Then camo the whole story. Ho had been
wounded in battle a fever had set :n after
intense suffering, he had died on the seven
teenth of this month November. My God 1
just a year from the day of our parting, I
thought. Ho had been brought home and
buried while I was away.
How tho next few days passed I never
knew.
With tho word, 'he is dead 1' had come to
mc, iu a moment, a knowledge of how I
could havo loved him of how I did love
him. It was very" bitter; and then I fell to
wondering if ho had ever loved me at all.
Sometimes I thought hu had ; again I doubt
ed it. But my doubts were ended at last.
Thanksgiving came and went. Never
was sndder thanksgiving to any one than to
mo. I could not give thanks. What were
victories to me, aud John lying in the cold
ground ? I could not, and would not be re
conciled. One day I was at recitation, when I was
called to tho parlor. I went dowu. At the
door I hesitated. A stranger rose and came
toward me. I had time to see that he was
a tall man, very pale and thin, dressed in
uniform.
'Nellie, have you forgotten me ?' I wos
Professor Adams Col, Adams.
'No, sir ; I know you now.' He raised my
hand to his lips, and then led me to a seat

jHhat had happened since wc lust met. Of
mutual lricncls 'somo were married, some
were dead.' Of Annie, said he, 'I have re
gretted her death exceedingly on your bc-

! tone down your character.'
'I know it. I shall never be as good or
hoppy again as I was once.'
I 'Forgive uic, Nellie, if I intrude; but your
tone was so inexpressibly sad just now. You
: ato unhappy.' I did not speak I could
I not.
'Tell mc about it, my child, I am older
than you ; pcrhups I con help you out.'
I 'That is impossible, Col. Adams. No one
can help me.'
i 'May I guess the cause of your crricf. Nel
lie ?'
'Yes,' faintly.
'Johu Orey is dead !' I felt the blood
leaving my face. I sank back in my scat. I
did not fuint ; but just lost myself for a mo
ment. When I recovered he had his arm
around mo.

'Then tell me about this.'
'I cannot. Question uic, and I will answer.'
'You loved John. You need not tell mc

'No.'
'I will tell you. I was with him when he
died. He belonged to my regiment. Ho
had been sleeping most of the uight. To
ward morning he awoke. 'Colouel,' said he
'I am dying.'
'Are you ready, John ?' said I.
'1 am all ready. 1 only waut ono thing. 1
should like to see Nellie Thurston once
more, aud ask her it'&'ue loves mc.'
'I can tell you that, John,' I seplied, she
doc9 love you.'
'His cyo brightened. 'How do you know t

'1 am positive. I knew it first when you
saved her from being expelled from school.
He smiled.
' 'Did you kuow that I was with her that
night ?'
'Of course, I knew, I recognized you both.
'Now see, Nellie, I could not bear to send
my little sister away. So I kept you when I
found nobody knew but John, I don't say
that it was right, though.
'Well, about Jobn. in a moment he held
up your littlo ring, and asked me if I knew
it t I said yes ; it was yours.
I would like to have it buried with me,
Colonel.'
'It shall bo done.
'Ho kissed it and restored it to its place.
'I wish you would go and see her some
times, Colonel.'
'1 will, when I can get leave of absence.
'Tell ber that I longed to see her once
more. 1 shall not cease to love her. 'Wait I
Will you write a few words as I dictate. V
'1 got paper and pen. Here is the note.' j
He handed to me. I read it. Such words
of passionate lovo I had never seen. They
soothed me while they thrilled me. I was
calmer and happier than I had been. Final
ly Uol. Adams went on :
'When I bad finished he gave me this
ring. Baid be, 'Ask ber to wear it on ber
fourth nnger, as she would have worn ono
if I had lived to make her my wife that is,
if she loves mo. Tell her there is a divine
marriage of soul between us two. God con
sole her.' He was silent for some time.
Raise tho curtain, colonel ; it must bo
daylight.' I turned to the window. I heard
htm say, 'Uood-bye, elue. 1 looked at
him hastily. The first gray light of morn
ing fell ou his face calm in tho sleep of
death.'
Now I was notso very uuhappy. John had
loved me. It was not so bad, after all. As
ho suid, there was a marriage of soul be
tween us. As I put his ring on my finger
that day, I promised myself that no otter
should ever be worn beside it; but that my
hand should be kept free until I should go
to meet him iu heaven.
Since then days and nights have passed.
They havo been wearisome often. But, as I sit
to day by my window, and see the sun shine,
acd hear the birds siug, 1 fiud it in my
heart to thank God for his loving kindness
that has been manifested to me. If he broke
my idol, and sent me bitter afflictions, I feel
it was that I might learn to kuow His love
better tliuu any earthly love. 1 am journey
ing homo to heaven. I shall sco John at
last.

portunt Movements) in the Noutli.
The citizens of Oxford, Mississippi, at a
recent popular meeting, put forth tho fol
lowing plea for the education of the freed
men :
That the time has arrived when measures
should bo adopted by tho Southern people
ttiemseivcs to provide the ways and means ot
educating the frccdmen, is a conclusion to
wtncu we have been led bv tho following
considerations :
1. These people arc now thrown upon
their own resources in a state of freedom,
for which they are to a certain extent un
prepared. 2. They consider us, their former owners,
to be now, as we have always been, their
natural guardians and their best friends.
EDUCATION,
3. It is our interest, as well as our duty,
to diffusa the blessings of educution as
widely as possible among all classes of peo
ple in our country.
4. If it ever was good policy to keep them
ignorant, it certaiuly is no longer so, but
the very reverse.
XFFRAOK.
5. The right of suffrage will, iu all pro
bability, be given to this people at somo fu
ture day.
6. Ignorant voters arc the curse of our
country.
7. If wo do not teach them, some one else
will, and who ever thus benefits them will
win an influence over them which will con
trol their votes.
8. If we perform this service then we shall
secure their identification with us iu pro
moting all our interests.
MORAL EO.rAI.lTY.
So much for policy and interest tho
least elevated form of the argument. Let us
look at the subject in its moral bearings.
1. The chutcli is the light of the world ;
it is therefore bound to illuminate the sur
rounding region. There is no special in
junction to enlighten the white race only,
but wo are to "preach the gospel to every
creature." "Search the Scriptures" is the
command, not addressed to our raco only,
but to maukind. God "commaudeth all
men everywhere to repent." Wo are un
questionably resposible to God for our in
fluence and ability to do good. "The poor
yo bavo also with you" is the declaration of
our Saviour, and by his Providential ar
rangement we ore constantly reminded that
we live not for ourselves alone. The colored
race are now emphatically "the poor among
the people."
GRATITUDE TO TFIE NEGROES.
2. But do wo not owe it to them as a debt
of gratitude? We remember how they, for
our Bakes, endured heat and cold, wet and
dry, summer and winter, cultivating our
fields, ministering to our comforts, promo
ting our wealth, improving tho country, and
actually advancing civilization by their
physicinl labor, attending upon, us at all
stages of our lives, nursing our children,
waiting upon tho sick, going with us to the
burial of our dead, and mingling their tears
with ours in' tho open grave. Can it be
that all this is forgotten ? And is it not a
small return, for all this that we are asked
to make, when it is proposed that we shall
give them that modicum ot instruction
vv'nich will enable them to read, or at least
to know tho way of lifo eternal ? It is un
der the pressure of these and similar con
siderations that a few of tho citizens of Ox
ford bavo been moved to tako the iuitiutive
in this enterprise.
MKANS OF INSTRUCTION.
Wo propose tha establishment of a Sab
bath school for the oral instruction of color
ed people, as well as to teach them to read.
Wo have organized this school with more
than ono hundred pupils and twelve teach
ers, liegular preaching also is provided for
them by the resident ministers of tho differ
ent churches of Oxford. We desire to en
list in this work all our leliow-citizeus, as
there is room enough lor all and work
enough for all. In such a work as this, no
doubt, the couviction of duty and the com
mand of God should be sufficient motives to
actuate us. But while we would not plead
tor the authority ot great names as a sane
tion of our course or an inducement to
others, at tho same time we rejoice to find,
that in many parts ot the south, the promt
ucnt citizens and official diguitaries aro
actively moving in this matter.
In South Carolina, Governor Orr and the
first citizens of Charleston aro urging the
establishment of the common school system
for tho freed men. In Alabama ex Governor
Moore aud cx-CongrcESinan Curry are en
gaging in the movement, and elsewhere in
Mississippi this field of labor is occupied by
some of the most distinguished of our citi
zens. All this shows that the influence is at
work which is to put iuto general operation
an effect ivo system of instruction for this
people in sacred and secular knowledge.
Let us, therefore, engage in tin) work in
earnest, according as God shall open the
way for us, and considering your duty in
connection with the work, we ask you to
decide upon that course that you will pro
bably approve when the light ot a coming
eternity shall be shed upon the subject.

A sensational American is now in Paris,
whose profession is thut of a face maker in
theatrical parlance a grim. He places him
self behind a frame hidden with a white
cloth, and besides a table covered with wigs,
false beards, and paint brushes. As soon as
his toilet is made, he suddenly draws aside
the curtain, and exhibits to the spectators
the heads of Washington, Napoleon, Charles
1., Wellington, Louis XI., or that of a mad
man, an idiot, a fury, a criminal, &c. The
priucipal merit of this curious spectacle is
the rapidity with which the artist changes
his head, for each transformation is perfect
in its truthful resemblance. As yet he has
ouly exhibited his powers in private, and tho
Paris public is waiting for hiiu with interest.

HKM1NI8CEXCES OF A UNITED STATES SENATOR.
Some thirty years ago I was in trado with
Judge II , in a plcsant village of Ver
mont, in tho town of 8 . There are
two villages in the town, and are denomi
nated "Upper Hollow and Lower Hollow."
A short distance above the Lower Hollow,
there lived a man by the nuiue of Orlando
Bundy, a blacksmith by trade. Ho was in
tho habit of nsing liquor pretty freely, es
pecially about election time. About that
time, there was an exciting election for
representatives to tho Legislature, that hud
just come off, and all were anxious to hear
the result. Mr. Uunfly happened to De m
tho store as Judge II was reading the
returns from the different town. Among
the rest was that of a town on tho west sirlo
of tho Green Mountains, that had elected 3,
F for representative.
"Is it possible that they linvc elected him
a representative ?" suid Mr. Bundy. "I
know him like n book. lie was a poor 'boy
and used to live at my father's. His father
died when ho was young ; and his mother
being poor, ho was put out to live with dif
ferent farmers, to earn a living. When bo
lived with my father, he was so poor
that he was not able to have shoes until ho
had earned enough to buy a pair. My father,
being a well-to-do farmer, was able to keep
mo in shoes. It irritated tha bov to think
ho had no shoes. One day my father sent us to
cut Canada thistles in the field. I had shoes
to protect my feet; but poor S was bare
foot, and tho thistles pricked his feet, and I
bothered him, bik! laughed at him for not
having shoes. Ho got excited by my jeers
and the sting of tho thistles; and, stiaight
ing himself up, he shook his little fist at me,
and said, 'Orlando Bundy, I shall see tho
day when I shall be able to wear shoes.' "
And so it proved. He did wear shoes.
Ho acquired an education, a profession ; and
his shoes trod the legislative halls of Ver
mont. His shoes pressed the floor of Con
gress, aud the Senate Chamber, and many a
time have been in the place designated for
Vice President. They were the -shoes of

Pleasant Summer Drinks.
All must admit that good water is tho
best and most wholesome beverage toquench
thirst, and meny people never drink any
thing else; but the great majority indulge in
other drinks, too many of them strong drink,
greatly to their injury iu body, mind and
)Ocket. But there aro many comparatively
larmless beverages, which are very good if
properly made. Somo of these I herewith
send to tho readers of tho Telegraph, and
having tried them can speuk many good
words in their favor. They aro very acreea-
ble and cost little.
Cheap Small Beer. To twelvo quarts
of cold water, add a pint and a half of strong
hop tea, and a pint nnd a half of molaescs.
Mix. it well together, and bottlo it immedia
tely. It will be fit for use tho next day, if
the weather is warm.
Si'iiucK BivEit. Allow an ounce of hops
aud a spoonful of giuger to a gallon of wa
ter. When well boiled, strain it, 'and put in
a pint of molasses, and half an ounco or less
of the essence of spruce ; when cool, add a
teacup ol yeast, and put into a cleun, light
cask, and then let it ferment for a day or two,
then bottle- it for use. You can boil tho
sprigs of spruce-fir in place ot the essence.
Ginger Bef.r Quickly Made. A gallon
of boiling water is poured over three quar
ters of a pound of loaf sugar, one ounce of
ginger, und the peel of one lemon ; when
milk-warm, the juice ni the lemon and a
spoonful of yeast are added. 'It should bo
made in tho evening, and bottled next morn
ing in stone bottles, and the cork tied down
with twine.
Good brown sugar will answer, and the
lemon may be omitted, if cheapness is re
quired. Mead. To each gallon of water put four
pouuds of honey ; boil it ono hour ; when
the scum has done rising, pour the liquor
iuto a tub, and when cool put a toast with
yeast spread over it into tho tub; allow it to
stand until next day ; then pour iuto a cask
and put tho bung lightly over it; let it stand
ono year in the barrel.
Nectar. Tako two pounds of raisins,
chopped, aud four pounds of loaf sugar, an I
put them into a spigot-pot ; pour two gal
lons of boiling water upon them. Tho next
day, when it is cold, slice two lemons into
it. Let it stand five days, stirring it twice
a day. Then lot it stand five days more lo
clear ; bottle it, put it into a cold cellar for
ten days, and it will bo lit to drink,
Siiiup of Currants. rick ripe currants,
and put them into a stew-pan over the fire,
so that they get hot and burst ; press them
through a siovc, and set the liquid in a cool
cellar for thirty-six hours; then strain it
through cloths, sweeton with loaf sugar, and
bottlo for use. The juice of clierrios and
raspberries may be prepared as above. The
sirup, mixed with spring water, makes a te
freshing summer drink.
Obangeade. Roll and pross the juice
from the oranges in the same way as from
lemons. It requires less sugar than lemonade.
The water-must be pure and cold, aud then
there can be nothing more delicious than
these two kinds of drink,
OrtAHOK Water. Mix w ith a quart of
spring water tho juice of six sweet oranges
and that of two k mons sweeten with cup
illaire or sirup. This water icvd is a deli
cious evening drink.
Mm.k Punch. Grate six oranges and six
lemons with loaf sugar; pare them very
thinly, and ster p tho peel for a day iu a bot
tle of rum or brandy ; sqneese the oranges
and lemons upon two pounds of loaf sugar,
including that with the peel flavor, and pour
ou it four quarts of water and ono of new
milk, both boiling; strain the rumor brandy
from the peels into the above, and run it
through a jolly bag till clear, when bottle
and cork it. Oerritntotrn TtL
Raspberry Vinegar. Everv housekeeper
should endeavor to have at least a small
qoautity of this delightful beverage. In
cases of fevora it is indispensable, and will
often quiet and sootho when nothiog rite
will. Pot two quarts of red raspberries, nice
