Giving Help to the Heathen. A :
man about thirty years old, wearing a bat-
tcred plug hnt and seedy clothe", looking j
as hungry as a man who had been wrecked
on an icebttrg, softly entered a Gratiot ave- j
nue saloon yesterday, and leaning over the !
bar whispered to the proprietor :
My dear sir, I am canvassing for sub
scriptions for the benefit of the heathen.' j
,'Ish dat zo ?' replied the saloon keeper !
rinsing a glass. j
Yes, my friend, that i? so,1 continued i
the man, taking out a very greasy pass
book. Yea, I am collect ing money for the
benefit of the poor heathen, who is living
in a f.tatc of rice and ignorance. Some put
down ten dollars some five some one,
all give something. Here is the book, and
you can subscribe such an amount as yon
think beef
'Ish It a betitson to dem gotnmon goun
tnl ?" inquired the ealooniet, as he looked
at the book.
'So, sir you do not understand my ob- j
ject. I "m collecting subscriptions for the i
toned of the heathen, and you can write !
your name and give me such an a mount as !
your conscience directs.' j
'Verc ish dem heathens ?' inquired the j
beer seller, looking coldly at the stranger's
battered bat.
Iu Africa, replied the gent, 'in far off
Aflhca, where all is gloom and loneliness
because the heathen lias no education.'
'And vat gounty is dat Affrica in ?' in
quired the aaloonist.
Jfy dear man, Africa is a country a
great big country, far over the deep blue
sea. Is it possible that you never heard of
Africa?'
I haf lived in Toledo and Chicago, but
I didn't bear some one say a word about
Africa.'
Well, that B neither here not there. I
am authorized to collect subscriptions for
the heathen, who is running about in a
ta.t of nakedness and sinfulness, and who
must have bread for his mind and be
brought to realize that he should live for
something besides his life.'
'Yah, dat is so,' replied the wloonist in j
a reflective tone. i
'You contribute whatever sum you may
think best, and I will forward it to Boston J
by firtt mail, where it is turned into Bibles, j
and the Bibles shipped to Africa. Most j
jieople teem it a privilege to be allowed j
to subscribe to this fund. Will you write j
your name down ?' j
J tinks I vill, replied the man, and he j
hunted ftp his pencil, and after much labor j
wrote his came on one of the pages and j
Landed the book back with the remark :
J di:nno as you can read it.'
'Tluit is all right ; but you have neglect
ed to mark down the amount of your con
tribution. Let's see will you say a dol
lar ?'
Vhat?1
Will yoa give mc the huui ff one dollar
to the heathen !'
IIa ? Vhat you spoke about ?'
'Will you give me a dollar to forward to
he poor, benighted heathen V
Money gif jou money ?"
'Yen for the heathen !'
'Yes, a dollar for the lenighted race who
are dwelling in darkness.'
The saloon keeper looked at him for huh"
a minute, and tVn, reaching down for a ;
flub said : j
Yca'd better go out py dat door! I ;
igrl dat book to get dat heathen some close j
by de poor-tnoK;r, and dat U b'enty ! lf
you tthay hcrr; some little while more I
shall bit you mid dis glub or. de head !' j
My dear' j

kefper, running from behind the bar, and

A young gentleman in whom we have

'Jonah, what Jonah ?1
Why Jonah dat swallowed the whale,

Why, cuss his big-mouthed picler, was

Of course he was from Firginny.'

As a Louisville girl was taking leave of
a gentleman at her father's bouse one eve

Dr. J. Walker's California Vine-
Rar TJitters are a purely Vegetable
propara tion, made chierly from the native
herbs found on the lower ranges of the
Sierra Nevada mountains of California,
the medicinal properties of which are
extracted therefrom without the use of
Alcohol. The qucBtion is almost daily
asked, " What is the- cause of the unpar
alleled success of Vinegar Bitters !
Our answer is, that they remove the'
cause of disease, and the patient recov
ers his health. They arc the great
Wood purifier and a life-giving princi
ple, a perfect Renovator arid Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the his
tory of the world has a medicine heen
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing
the tick of every disease man is heir to.
They are a pontic Purgative as well as a
Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver and Vicernl Organs iu P.ilious
iseaes.
The properties of De. Walker's
Vinegar J'ittees arc Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritions, Laxative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudoritie, Altera
tive, and A nti-Bilious.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vin
egar Bittsbs the most wonderful Invigor
Btit that ever sustained the sinking system.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and vital organs wasted beyond repair.
Bilious, Remittent, and Inter
mittent Fevers, which are so prev
alent in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many others with
their vast tributaries, throughovlt our
entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensivf
derangements of the stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. There is
no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr..
J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as
they will Bpeedily remove the dark
colored viscid matter with which th
bowels are loaded, at the same time
stimulating the secretions of the liver,
and generally restoring the healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vtuegab
Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of
a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache, Fain in the Shoulders, Cough3,
Tightness of the Che3t, Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in
the Month, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation
of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs,
Pain iu tho region of the Kidneys, and a
hundred other painful symptoms, are
the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle
will prove a better guarantee of its
merits than a lengthy advertisement.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, White
Swellings, Llcer3, Erysipelas, Swelled
Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,
Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affec
tions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin,
Sore Eyes, etc., etc. In theso, as in all
other constitutional Diseases, Walker's
VrsEGAH Bitters have shown their
great curative powers in the most ob
stinate and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious.. Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers,. Diseases
of the Blond, Liver, Kidneys and Blad
der, these Bitters have no equal. Such
Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons en
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters,
and Miners, as they advance in life, are
subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To
guard against this, take a dose of Walk
er's VrjfEGAR Bitters occasionally.
For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet
ter, Salt-Rhenm, Blotches Spots, Pimples,
Instulcs, Boil, Carbuncles, King-worms,
frieuld-bnad, Sore Eyeo, Erysipelas Itch,
Scurfs, Diwolorntioii3 of the Skin, Humor
and Diseases of tho Skin of whatever name
or nature, aro literally dug vp and carried
out of the system in a fchcrt time by the use
of thene Bitter.-!.
Tin, Tape, and other "Worms,
lurking in the evstem of go many thousands
are rflectually destroyed and removed. No
cVFtem of medicine, uo vermifuges, no an
thtlminitic will free tho system from worms
like thee Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old. married or sin ie, at tbe dawn of wo
manhood, or the turn 'of life, theie Tonic Bit
teri display so decided an influence that im
provement is soon peri'eptibli.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when
ever you find it impurities bursting through
tho likiu in Pimples. Eruption, or Sores;
eleane it when you find it dbftr.ieted and
slucrish in the veins : cleanse it when it is
foul ; your feeling will tell yon when. Keep
the blood pure, and the health of the system
will follow.

As Earlt Vegetabu! Fbajit:. Many a man
might have de!i?acie very early did he but think
how cheaply they eonld be had. Tbe material
are often close to band, bnt are no thought of,
or if thought of the whole matter is put oft to .
some convenient time which never comes.
Garden frames or pits are of tbia character.
With roaunre iu abundance, and the heat from
fermentation wasting away, almost every one
who has a baruyard might have early vegetables
at almost do cost.
Most early vegetables want little heat. Let
tuce, radishes, asparasrns, cauliflower and some
others, grow when the earth is but very little
above the freezing point, and the cars in looking
after them is very trifling indeed. Cauliflower
pits are made of stone or brick- They are sank
In the earth about four feet, sometimes more or
a little less, and in the fall of the year are filled
with manure mixed with leaves or other coarse
vegetable rubbish thatjwill keep tbe mass from
heating too fast. This is !led up to the glass
as well as tramped in hard, and a few Inches of
earth put over the whole. On this the young
plants in September are set. As the plants grow
tbe material sinks, so that they arc always close
to the glass, which Is one of the essentials of
good culture. The plants do not grow much in
the winter, and about this season of the year
radishes or lettuce may be sown between the
cauliflower plr.nts without interfering much with
their growth. Asparagus may also be dug up
carefully in the fall and planted at tho same
time as. the cauliflower, and thus one can have
four crops all off of the sains little piece of hot
bed ground. We said that the frame part may
be made of brick or stone ; but of coarse boards
will do, but are too temporary. Under the in
fluence of fermenting materials wood lasts but a
few years. Stone or brick will last a lifetime.
Tbe pit may be a foot or so above the ground at
the lower portion, and a framework for the
glass fitted thereon. The glass shonld slope
tolerably so as to catch the rays of the morning
sun. A four or perhaps six-sash frame of this
character, made of tbe most durable materials,
could be put up in most cases for one hundred
dollars, and tbe vegetables got out of it in a
single spring would be worth nearly half of that.
There would be first radishes in nse, then aspa
ragus, then the lettuce, following with the cauli
flower in April or May.
A day will clean out the old manure, excellent
stuff by the way for tbe liner garden crops and
flowers ; aud another day will fill in and get
ready the material for the new crops. The sub
sequent altentlon will be little. No covering bnt
tbe sash is necessary, as the warmth of the fer
menting material helping below with the sash
above, prevents the Irost from beicg very severe
in the frames, and a little does not hurt them.
The greatest danger Is that the air may become
too warm. The sashes are generally tilted so
that there Is air at all times except when very
cold.
All of this knowledge, however, soon eomes
after one has engaged a little in managing one ;
and it is surprising how 7ery little time or care
will be requisite. We are quite sure that any one
who takes the trouble once to have some such
a cold frame as this for early vegetables, would
never afterwards want to be without one.

GrsxBaL Dihectioss FOB Maiiso Sol ps
Lean, Juicy beef, mutton and veal, form tha
basis of all good soups ; therefore it is advisable
to procure those pieces which afford the richest
succulence, and such a are fresh-killed. Stale
meat renders them bad, and fat is not so we!!
adapted for making them. The principal art in
composing good, rich soup, Is so to proportion
the several Ingredients that tbe flavor of one
hall not predominate over another, and that all
the articles of which it Is composed, shall form
an agreeable whole. To accomplish this, care
must be taken that the roots and herbs are per
fectly well cleaned, and that the water is pro
portioned to the quantity of meat and other in
gredients. Generally a quart of water may be
allowed to a pound of meat for soups, and half
the quantity for gravies. In making soaps or
gravies, gentle stewing or simmering la incom
parably the best. It may be remarked, however,
that a really good soup can never be made but
In a well-closed vessel, although, perhaps, great
er wholesomenes is obtained by an occasional
exposure to tbe air. Soups will, in general, take
from three to six hours doing, and are much
better prepared the day before they are wanted.
When the soup is cold, the fat may be much
more easily and completely removed ; and when
it is poured off, care must be taken not to dis
turb the settlings at tbe bottom of the vessel,
which are so fine that they will escape through a
sieve. A taroU is the best strainer, and if the
soup is strained while it is hot, let tbe lamis or
cloth be previously soaked in cold water. Clear
soups must be perfectly transparent, and thick
ened soups about the consistence of cream. To
thicken and give body to sonps and gravies,
potato-mucilage, arrow-root, bread-raspings,
isinglass, flour and butter, barley, rice or oat
meal, in a little water rubbed well together are
used. A piece of boiled beef pounded to a pulp,
with a bit of butter and flour, and rubbed through
a sieve, and gradually incorporated with the
soup, will be found an excellent addition. When
the soup appears to be too thin or too weak, tbe
cover of the boiler should be taken off, and the
contents allowed to boil till some of the watery
parts have evaporated ; or some of tbe thicken
ing materials above mentioned should be added.
When soups and gravies are kept from day to
day in hot weather, they shonld be warmed Bp
every day, and put into fresh scalded pan or
tureens, and placed in a cool cellar. In tempe
rate weather, every other day may be sufficient.
Various herbs and vegetables are required for
tbe purpose of making soups and gravies. Of
these the principal arc Scotch barley, peart
barley, wheat flour, oatmeal, bread-raspings,
peas, beans, rice, vermicelli, macaroni, Isinglass,
potato-mucilage, mushroom or mushroom ketch
up, champignons, parsnips, carrots, beetroot,
turnips, garlic, shalots and onions. Sliced on
ions, frid with butter and flour till they o
browned, and then rubbed through a sieve, ore
excellent to heighten the color and flavor of
brown soups and sauces, and form the basis of
many of tbe fine relishes furnished by the cook.
Tbe older nnd drier the onion, the stronger will
be its flavor. Leeks, cucumber or bmnet vine
gar ; celery or celery seed pounded. The latter,
though equally strong, does not impart the deli
cate sweetness of the fresh vegetable ; and when
used as a substitute, its flavor should be correct
ed by the addition of a bit of sugar. Cress-reed,
parsley, common thyme, lemon thyme, orange
thyme, knotted majors m, sage, mint, winter
savory and basJI. As fresh green basil is (eldom
to be procured, and Its fine flavor is soon lost,
the best way of preserving the extract is by
pouring wine on the fresh leaves.
For the seasoning of soup, bay-leaves, tomato,
tarragon, chervil, burnet, allspice, cinnamon,
ginger, nutmeg, clove, mace, black and white
pepper, essence of anchovy, lemon-peel and
Juice, and Seville orange juice, are all taken.
Tbe latter imparts a finer flavor thau tbe lemon,
and the acid is much milder. These materials,
