Speaking of toast, comparatively few know what really good toast is. A hasty singe of one or both side does not make toast; nor do thin slices of bread dried through. Cut slices of uniform thickness, a plump half inch, or o-Sths inch: move around over a brisk tire, to have all parts toasted alike; keep only so near the coals that the pieces will be heated through when both sides are well brown; d. If the slightest ; oint is blackened or (Carved, scrape it off. or it will spoil the flavor of the whole. If covered with an earthen bowl, it will keep both warm and moist. A clean towel or napkin will answer if it is _<>{ at once to the tabic, llut, nobody can make good toast out of poor bread. Stale bread may be used for milk toast; sour bread may be improved bv toasting it through; heavy bread makes poor toast. Sweet, li cht bread, only a day old, or less, makes the best toast. Am. Agriculturist. St. Nicholas for December, of which three editions have already been sold, is again out of prinl, and a fourth edition is being pre pare I. It seems probable that, nearly, if not quite, 100,000 copies of the Christmas issue will have been disposed of before the sale is over. The supplv of the bound volume of St. Nicholas for 1870 also gave out before Christmas and this will be reprinted. Of the first volume (1874) there are left in the pub lishers hands only about a dozen copies, and it seems soon to become one of the curiosities of literature. The regular monthly issue of St. Nicholas has now reached 70,000. In the February number, which will be delayed until about the 24th of January, will appear two poems In Alfred Tennyson, one of them set to music, and both written for St. Nich olas. The frontie.epieceof this number will be a reproduction of Cousin's beautiful mezzot hit engraving of Millais' picture of "The Princes in the Tower." Personal.

WORTHY ATTENTION. —We advise our readers, whether they own a foot of land or not, to supply themselves with that treasure of useful, practical, reliable information, the American 'Agricultrist , so named because started 38 years ago as a rural journal, but now enlarged to embrace a great variety of most useful reading for the household, chil dren included, for the garden, as well as the farm—for all classes. Each volume gives some 800 original engravings, with descrip tions of labor-saving and labor-helping con trivances, of plants, fruits, flowers, animals, etc., including many large and pleasing as well as instructive pictures for young and old. The constant, systematic exposures of humbugs and swindling schemes by the Agri culturalist are of great value to everv one, and will save to most persons many times its cost. Altogether, it is one of the most valua ble, as well as cheapest journals anywhere to be found. The cost is only $1.50 a year, or 4 copies for $5. Single numbers 15 cents.
