Tune DANDY JIM
The trupet sounds with loud alarms,
The Whigs and Locos fly to arms,
Their Generals martial up each train
The presidential prize to gain.
Chorus.
For Scott, for Scott the Whigs do cry,
For Pierce, the Locos make reply,
While rolling thunders far away
Proclaim for our old Chippeway.

Their voting will turn out a blank,
The honored prize they cannot draw
For it is reserved for Chippeway.

Old Chippeway's a first rate horse
To run upon the Union course,
A hasty bowl of soup he'll take
And carry off the highest stake.
He'll beat your Pierce in any weather
Though j'ou have dubbed him fuss and feather,
With every bowl of soup he takes,
You'll see the Locos get the shakes.
Chorus
You think to fire upon his rear
And thus you hope the track to clear,
But you will find it but a draw,

"So much?"
"Yes. I had to buy for all of them,
and even cheap toys, when you have to
get so many of them, count up. But we
must indulge the children, sometimes.
I hflve spent, also, for cigars and tobacco,
the trifle of thirty-one cents; and for a
paper folder a quarter. And in cakes
and candies for the children, I may have
spent, may bo a shilling. Let me sec how
much all these amount to."
The items were soon summed up, and
the product was two dollars and nearly a
half.

man sold his wife to a farmer
for ten pounds. As the seller could not
get the money, he would not deliver up
his wife. She became out of patience,
and told her husband she would not be
fooled about any longer, and that she
would go home with the Luyer, as she
liked him the best. She then packed up
her clothes, and followed her purchaser to
Lis house, whither she was escorted by
a train of boys beating tin kettles."

Mr. Hall sometimes complained a little

led them, and at being cut off from all
pleasure-taking; but she consoled him by
telling him, good humoredly, to wait a

"Count it up for yourself, Felix. Why,

"So it does! How little things do count
up. Well, wife; if you'll take hold in
good earnest, I'll do just as you say for
one year, and if you bring down the cost
of living as- much as a hundred dollars, I
will let you manage money matters ever
after."
"If I don't bring it down three hundred

The year for which Mrs. Hall had un
dertaken to manage affairs at last came
to a close, and one evening she said to her
husband
"Here are my accounts for the year.
They are not very neatly kept, but I pre
sume you will find all correct."
"Accounts! Have you kept accounts?"
asked Mr. Hall.
"Oh, yes; to a penny."
"Well, how stands the balance?"
"Something in our favor, I think.
There isn't a cent owed anywhere, except
the balance of your tailor's bill, and you
know I had over a hundred and fifty dol
lars to pay when I took the management
of things."
"Possible!" said Mr. Hall, opening his
eyes.
"Yes, and what is better, I have about
fifty dollars on hand."
"Incredible!"
"It is true."
"But how in the world did jou do it?"
"Not by starving you all, you will ad
mit." "No, certainly we had plenty of good
wholesome food to eat; though I must own
to thinking, sometimes, that you indulged
us in little seasonable delicacies rather
sparingly."
Tomato Fa.
The folldwing is the method of preser
ving tomatoes in Bermuda and thereby
manufacturing d sweet preserve something
like figs:
"Take six pounds of sugar to' one peck
(or six-teen pounds) of the fruit, scald and
remove the skin of the fruit in the usual
way, cook them over a fife, their own
juice being sufficient without the addition
of water, until the sugar penetrates and
they are clarified; they are then taken
out; spread on dishes, flattened, and
dried in the sun. A small quantity of
the syrup should be occasionally sprink
led over them while drying, after which
pack them down in boxes, treating each
layer with powdered sugar. The syrup
is afterward concentrated and bottled fof
use. They keep from year to year, and
retain their flavor surprisingly, which is
nearly that of the best quality of fresh
figs. The Pear-shaped or single tomatoes
answer the purpose best. Ordinary bro 11
sugar may be used, a large portion of
which is retained in the syrup.

the shackles which the former wife wore"
are put upon the new bride's limb3 and
she is fed till they are filled up to the
proper thickness. The food used for this
custom, worthy of barbai-ians, is a seed
called drough, which is of an extraordi

and their national dish, cuscusoo, the
bride is literally crammed, and many ac
tually die under the treatment.
Planting Fruit Trees. The Spaniards
have a maxim that a man is ungrateful
to the past generation that planted the
trees from which he eats fruits, and deals
unjustly towards the next generation un
less he plants the seed that it may furnish
food for those who come after him. Thus
when a son of Spain eats a peach or pear
by the road side, wherever he is he digs a
hole in the ground with his foot and cov
ers the seed. Consequently all over Spain
by the road sides and elsewhere, fruit in
great abundance tempts the taste and is
ever free.

"But how have you done it, Harriet?
You haven't given me the affirmative
yet."
"By following this simple rule, Felix,
never to buy anything that was not wanted,
and being very careful when a want pre
sented itself, to see whether it was real
or imaginary. Hereafter, I hope you
will follow the same rule, and if Tou do,
you can keep the family on as little as I
have done."

we have assurance that the rule of Brig
ham Young, President of the Church,and
Supreme director and dictator of all tho
spiritual and state affairs of the Mormons,
is growing every day more unpopular and
intolerable. We are informed that a rap
idly increasing disaffection exists among
the people of Utah, and that the feeling
of opposition to Mr. Young, is very strong
in which many of the Church unite. He
is represented to have become most des
potic and arbitrary in bis administration,
and to have practiced the most ungodly
acts, setting all law, human and divine,
at defiance. Young has called arounnd
him a set of men as unprincipled as him
self and it is said, has given loose xAu
to every species of depravity and lust in
his kingdom.
