Tom Browne--notof Rugby, but of Indiana--tells a good story on Sam Cox, or, rather repeats it from the genial Samuel, who tells it on himself ; : One day, shortly after election, Mr. Cox was seated in his study hard at work, when a card was brought in. It was rather a rough looking piece of pasteboard, be- tokening that the caller Was not exactly of the cultured classes. 'Show the gentleman in," said Mr Cog'; whereupon there appeared a rough looking customer, clad in the garb of a workingman, who without waiting for ceremony remarked, in- terrogatively : ¢ Your name is Cox ?' "1 have the honor?' '8. 8. Cox? 'The same.' ' 'Sometimes called Sunset Cox ?' 'That is a sobriquet by which I am known among my more familiar friends,' * You formerly resided in Colam- tus, O ?' : 'That happiness was once mine.' ' Represented that district in Con- gress ?' 'I enjoyed that distinguished bonor--and, I may add, at a some- what early age.' ¢ Atter a while, they gerrymanded that district so as to make it a bad district for an aspiring Democrat ?' 'You have evidently read political history of your country to good pur pose my friend.' Then yon moved to New York, where there was a better show for a Democrat ?' 'Well, my friend, your premises is correct. I did move to New York: Bat your conclvsion is hardly admisible in the form of a necessary sequense. My reasons for moving to New York 'were not wholly pol. itical 'We won't discuss that.

Iam an wdmirer of yours, I always vote for you and always desire to do so. I called this morning merely to in- quire it you had selected your next district !" a The Art of Cooking. The science and art of cooking may be divided; into a tew principal parts ; the rest is all fancy. These parts are baking, boiling, broiling, frying, roasting, seasoning, simmer- ing. Tasting is an adjunct to all. Baking,--In baking see that tho oven or furnace is properly heated ; some dishes require more heat than others. Look at the object in process of baking from time to time, and especially at the be- ginning; turn it round, if necessary, in case it be heated more on one side than the other, to prevent barning. In baking meav or fish, besides keeping the bottom of the pan cov- ered with broth or water, place a piece of buttered paper over the objcet in the pan. It not only pre- vents it from burning, but acts as a self-basting operation, and keeps the top moist and juicy. If the top of the cake bake faster than the rest place a piece of paper on it. BorLing.--This is the most abused branch in cooking. We know that many well-meaning housewives, and even professional cooks, boil things which ought to be prepared otherwise, with a view of economy ; but many do it through laziness.-- Boiling requires as much care as any other branch, but they do not think so, and therefore indulge in it. Another abuse is boiling fust instead of slowly. Set a small ocean of water over a brisk: fire and boil something in it as fast us you can; cook faster, the degree of heat being the same as if you"were boiling slowly. and especially boil fast, contains any flavor, you evaporate it, and eannot spoiled or partially desiroyed by for cooking purposes, its gases and grease the bars'f the gridiron first. juice being attracted upward itis | brave but poor, a small portfolio If the object you boil, bring it batk. Many things are boiling, such as meats; coffee, etec.-- Water that has been boiled is inferior alkali being evaporated. Broruina.--Whatever you broil, Broiling and roasting are the same thing ; the object in process of cook ing by either must be exposed to the heat on one side and the other ride to the air. Bear in mind that no one can broil or roast in an oven, whatever be its construction, its process of heating, or its kind of heat. An object cooked in an oven is baked. It is better to broil be- fore than over a fire. In broiling before the fire all the juice can be saved. In broiling by gas there is a great advantage. The meat is placed under the heat, and as the heat draws the juico of the meat, the consequence is that the retained in the meat, A gas broiler is a square flat drum, perforated on one side and placed over a frame. -- Broiling on live coals or cinders withouta gridiron is certainly not better than with one, as believed by many; on the contrary, besides not bieng very clean, it burns or chars part of the meat. That belief comes from the fact that when they par- took of meat prepared in this way, it was with a sauce that generally accompanies hunters, fishermen,etc., hunger, the most savory of all savory sauces. ------------ A Rare Book or Two VoLuMES -- The late king of Prussia once sent to one of his ades-de-camp, who was bound like a book, in which were deposited 500 crowns.

She'll wear simple dresses, and turn them when necessary, with na vulgar magnificence to frown upon ber economy. She'll keep overything neat and nice in your sky parlor, and give you such a wel- come when you come home, that you'll think yonr parlor higher than aver. She'll entertain true friends on a dollar, and astonish you with the new thought how little happm ness depends on money. She'll make you love bome (if you don't you're a brute), and teach you how to pity, while you scorn a poor, fashionable society that thinks itself rich, and vainly tries to think itelt happy.

Ai the end of the evening, when tho Field - Marshal wished to go away, one of the at- tendants at his request asked for 'Lord Seaton's carriage,' The ery was passed in the usual way down the line for 'Lord Seaton's carriage,' until by natural action of the Irish tongue it beeame transformed to 'LordSayton's carriage,' but without any response being obtaived. At length one of the linkmen, in an in- tervale of silence, cried out, 'The Devil's carr'ge '--and immediatly the vehicle drove up.' Old Joe Wattles claims to be one of the survivors ot the American Revolutionory War, and possesses a gue which he said did excellent service for " Uncle Sam," in years past. It was his delight to show this ancient weapon to bis friends, and recount the numerous daring deeds whicn it bad enabled him to perform. One day when Joe wae exhibiting his gun before an attentive crowd, and speaking of the conflicts through which he and it had passed, Sam Pickles, a shrewd listener, ol- bowed his way to the front, saying that he wanted to "look at that "ere gun.' Sam took it in hand, and pretend. ed to admire it, but said the stock looked very new for a Revolutionary gun, 'Well well,' said Joe, 'the old was badly worn, so I had a new one made. But Sam thought that somehow the barrel had a modern aspect. the old one was so worn,' the lock--" : «Never mind," said Joe, a little riled: 'I had a new barrel put in, But," remarked Sam, 'I thought ¢ Oh, never you mind about the lock,' said Joe, 'that's new, too.-- But you needn't make so much fuss, about so small a matter. - The fact is there is nothing left of the real old is appreciated, the children soon drop" the habit.
