'It was drawing toward Christmas time, and Harry Wentworth was very busy---busy in behalf of his employers, and busy in his own behalf--for it had been arranged that on Christmas day he Mid Emma Dwight should be made man and wife. Harry Wentworth was a young man of three-and-twenty--active,* enterprising Moid possessed of intelligence far above the average; and not least of his good Bilities was the unswerving, untiring heartfelt zeal and faith with which 3f i ' w * ' &/;V •: % *• > r 4s' , i! .1.'. s *' iiii norm P Baviti he had appeared to serve his employers; fear he was employed as head bookkeeper rfid confidential clerk of a heavy import­ ing house in the city. He was the only ehikl of a widow, who had looked to him lor love and care since he had been old ttkbugt) and strong enough to earn the ^herewith for her support. * Emma Dwight was the daughter of a Judge of the Supreme Court of the com­ mon wealth--a true-hearted, bright-faced, trustful girl, loving her Harry with all Ktt strength of heart arid souL She was bar mother's child in quality of spirit and general disposition--mild, unassum­ ing, gentle and charitable. The father Was of sterner stuff--an upright, religious nan, but not so apt to smile as were his wile and daughter. It was near the Christmas time, and in the house where Harry was engaged tiki h&ndi were very busy. Country traders were buying for the holidays, snA a large share of the custom of those who dealt in the class of goods carried by the Concern came to that place. One day the regular messenger had been ieilt upon an important mission to the Custom House, and, as it drew near the time for tb*-- bank to ttlnHe. Hurry be- thought liim that it he did not make tiute in some other way, he would miss th« opportunity of reaching the paying- teller of the bank. He had upon his desk, or in his possession, the com­ pany's check for $30,000, and this check was to be cashed in bank notes for the use of another firm, the senior partner of which was the brother of the senior of Harry's firm. This other firm was en­ gaged in the wool business, and the money was for the use of purchasing N» m "0 aggftts who were to go through three or four States of the Union. ,,,The-messenger had taken the bank­ book and cash for deposit on his way to tiie Custom House, so that Harry had only the check to attend to. Having looked at the clock, and seen the brief topace of time that was his, and having looked toward the stroet door and seen «hat no messenger was coming, he pre­ pared to go upon the errand himself. He had on an old office coat, worn and ink stained, but he would not stop to •exchange it. The capacious overcoat wold cover such imperfection, and, hav­ ing donned the latter garment, he hur- fiftd away. It was past 2 o'clock when Harry attached the bank. The wicket of the receiving teller was dosed and ttie pav­ ing teller was just in the act of closing his; but when he saw the newcomer, heated and pulling with exertion, he -lid it open again and asked what he wanted. Harry stated the circumstances end pro- * ad the check. The teller turned to bookkeeper, at his private desk, and, living found he could enter the new item without trouble, he turned again to the customer and, with a bland 6mile, .informed him that he could have the ?IW>ney. Said he: * " We don't make a practice of doing Ibis thing, hut I don't think the officers 4i«>uld care to disappoint such customers -as are your folks when it could be •voided." ten he smoothed out the check be­ fore him, and counted out the money in •ooch denominations of n tes as the ap­ plicant had suggested would be con­ venient--fives, tens, twenties and fifties, • iotostly--there were ten $100 notes, ten •$00 and two notes of $1,000 each. Harry ran it over after him, and then asked for an envelope in which to put it. The teller gave him an envelope of ftfong manila paper, such as the bank •vied for that same purpose. The notes --^a goodly packet--were put carefully Ili, and the envelope sealed, after which Harry returned to hi9 store. . X)nce more at his post, Harry Went- o worth put away his overcoat, and then . Went to his desk, and put his hand into his pocket for the precious envel­ ope--into the inner breast-pocket of his coat on the left side. The pocket was empty! He felt in other pockets--ran to h is overcoat, and went through the pockets of that--but--the packet of bank-notes was gone ! •" Oh ! he had forgotten his old office- /Jjoat--had not once thought that the old "Working-sack was upon him, with its ' breast-pocket torn more than half-way! ^ye -- the pocket -- or the hole -- into which he had put his sealed packet was .9°* on*y minus a bottom seam, but fully •one-half of the lower part of the pocket - .Igas torn away! Once more Hany sprang into his • ymremo&t, and away over the route by ^JJfhioh he had come from the bank--Vii'a %es fixed upon the sidewalk, and in ilie gutter--every possible space, nook, corner and gully, looked upon--hut no fUMJket such as he had lost. Up the «tairs of the bank--the banking-rooms were on the second floor -- he went «lowly, peering into every corner--and jtttus hie reached the bank counter empty- iianded. The people of the bank were fast oomiflg out of the Directors' room, where they had been making up the * aoooonts of the day, when Harry en­ tered. He saw the paying-teller and ^ him of his low. "IN mercy's nam*I Can JOB gig$ • ffce oomfort ?" • Tim teller WM at first like a man Omnrtecstrnck; than be shook his head - 1 - r K . sorrowfully. He oould give no oomfort; And if he could not, of course, none of the others could; for he had been the last one in the banking-house. With a heart heavy and sad--a heart sunken into an aeony fuch as he had never before even dreamed of--Harry r« - turned to his store, looking again on the way, and inquiring of men whose faces encouraged him--but his looking and his inquiries were in vain. At the store he went into the private office of the senior, and to that individual told the story of his mishap. The first effeot upon the merchant, who was a man of quick and tender sympathies, was made by the outbursting grief and agony of his favorite clerk; and when he had heard the whole story, and had been shown the tattered fragments of a pocket, he said cheerily : " Well, well, my boy, don't be brok­ en-hearted. We'll make a general move­ ment for the missing packet at once, and I guess we'll hud it. Do you go direct­ ly to the Chief of Police, and set him at work first. I will see the printer. Ah ! I have great faith in printer's ink, Harry. It is one of the seven mighty powers of the age in whioh we live." And so] the search commenced ; and it was continued until Christmas day, without effect. Not a clew--not a sign --not a thing of any description had been disoovered. It was as though the money never bad been, or else--• Ah ! poor Harry Wentworth was to know, sure enough, what else people thought might have been ! He discov­ ered the cloud first at the home of his beloved. He found her, on the evening of the second day before Christmas, with red and swollen eyes, and sobbing as though lier heart would break. Iu terror he asked her what had happened. " Oh, Harry! Harry ! Ask papa 1 Ask papa! I cannot speak!" The youth was thunderstruck. The truth burst upon him in that moment for the first time. The thought that it could ever enter into the mind of one who had been his true friend that he-- Harry Wentworth--could do so wicked a thing had never come to him, even by so much as a shadow. He did not see Judge Dwight on that evening. On the following morning--the morn­ ing of the day before Christmas--when Harry entered the counting-room, his senior employer called him into the pri­ vate office, and pointed him to a seat. The old man's face was not hard, but sad and stern, as though he had put on the sternnej's'for the occasion. " Harry, I want you to tel) me the truth--the simple, straightforward truth --and nothing else. Have you, within the last two or three months, purchased and paid for a house in the upper port of the city ?" The young man started ^ and gasped for breath. The accusation was plainly made in those words! He had bought the house and paid for it. In a moment he had turned pale as death, and for that single moment every atom of strength seemed to forsake him. " Harry Wentworth !" punned the merchant, -nth a terrible look, •' where did you get the $7,000 yon paid, in cash, for that house?" Poor Harry ! He must tell the only thing he had ever done of which he could feel in any degree ashamed--must tell of the only dollar he had ever gained which he had not legitimately earned. During the summer last passed he had been induced by a friend, who was just ready to start for Cuba, to invest $10 for a package of tickets in one of the Havana lotteries. He had bought the ticket, and had drawn a prize of $6,000. The other $1,000--and con­ siderably more that--he had saved from his salary. He had never spoken of the lottery tickets, nor the prize, because he had felt that the operation was not sdeh as he would wish to recommend. Still he had tried to flatter himself that a great portion of the wealth of the day was gained in a way no better--that the thounand-and-one bargains of almost every day, on the street, and at the brokers' board, were of the same char­ acter. He had told himtadf this, and had used the money. And this story he told to his employ­ er---the story of the lottery-ticket, the prize, and of the travail of his spirit. " Where is the man who bought the tickets for you?" Harry thought be had gone bom Ha­ vana to Brazil. "He sent to me by mail, sir, and wrote that he should go to South Amer­ ica before returning home." "Ah !" said the old man, sadly and solemnly shaking his head, "I should not blame you for having bought a lot­ tery ticket! I am sorry to say that much oi the business of the day is done upon a basis no better. Only yesterday I purchased six tickets in six different lotteries to be drawn by religious and benevolent societies to-morrow evening. It is not that, Harry. 1 wish you could prove to me that it had been no worse." Harry Wentworth arose to his feet, •and laid his hand upon the merchant's shoulder. « " Mr. Lempierre, do you mean to tell me--that--that you believe I could have kept for myself that packet of money which I said I had lust? " The merchant was certainly staggered by the youth's look, and by the neart- sent, fervent, honest speqph. But the cloud returned upon his face, and, with another shake of the head, he said: " Harry, I am not alone. The people at the bank declare it must have been ao. Look at it for yourself. Think of the time of day--" " Ah," cried Harry, breaking in upon him, " think of that thing--the time of day! Just the time when business men were almost entirely alone on the street, and when they were hurrying home­ ward, or office-ward, as swiftly as possi­ ble--their banking business done, and their thoughts given to dinner and luncheon. None were going to the banks, but ail were going the other way; and how many of them were messengers long used to feasting their eyes upon wealth which they could not possess, but which they would possess if the op­ portunity should ever offer. Think ol it, sir, and say if there might not have been many ways in whicn that packet could have been picked up and kept. And think of another thing : The very character of the packet--the way in which it was made up--BO large a sum, in notes of such small denominations-- would convince any person, at all versed in bank affairs, that the numbers of those notes had not been registered; so the money might be used at any time, and in any place, without fear of de­ tection. Why, sir--one-half of that money might have been deposited in that same bank on the very next day, and the receiving-teller could not have sworu that a note of it had been out on your oheck." Still the merchant was not oonvinoed. A story of excuse was very easy to frame, he eaid; ai^d no reliance could be placed upon unsupported testimony of that da-. scription. On the evening of that day Harry aaw Judge Dwight, and that man sternly forbade the youth to visit his daughter more. He oould not listen--he hadNM and heard too much of excuse and special pleading by guilty parties to be influ­ enced, by anything whioh did not olearly disprove the thing alleged. No, no--he would not listen. He was stern and harxh, and Hany Wentworth must con­ sider the door of Ms house as closed to him thenceforth. But Harry met Emma in the hall as he went out. ^ She fell upon his bosom, and wept ana moaned piteously. Her faith in her lover WHS not shaken; and when he had told her that he would not rest until the clond had been lifted from his name and fame she told him she would wait for the time. "Oh, Harry! take my love with yon, and let my faith in your goodness give you strength!" "I shall, darling! I know the truth will appear bv-and-br. I feel it, deep down in my Ibteari of hearts, that the cloud shall not always rest upon me. Pray for me, dear one 1 and I will both pray and work!" s Then Harry Wentworth went home to the one being on earth who knew him innocent and good--his mother!--and there he found rest! Christmas day dawned--the day which had been set for Ms wedding ! His new house, bought and ^aid tor, he oould not move into, and he let a friend have it for a season at a nominal rent. He did not wait to be discharged from the employment of those whom he had served so long ; he went to the store on the morning after Christmas, and, call­ ing the three partners into the office, he told them he would take himself oat of their way. "I do not think," he said, "that yon intend to prosecute me, because, first-- you are not assured in your own minds that I did the dreadful wrong of which I have been suspected ; and, sec­ ond, the crime would be difficult to prove against me. But, sirs, know that 1 will not rest until this thing is made clear ; for I am firm in the faith that I am not to go to my grave with the stain upon me." It is doubtful i! they would have turned him away 6f their own accord ; and yet his presence would have been a source of annoyance, from the fact that the second member* of the firm abso­ lutely believed in his guilt, and would have pnshed him to the law had not the other two objected. A remark made by Mr. Lempierre dwelt upon Harry's mind : " The pow­ er of printer's ink," and he did not fail to make use of it. He drew up a state­ ment of his case, giving all the particu­ lars--the date, the streets through which he passed, to and from the bank, on that day of misfortune, and; in shorty every point that could tell--and at the end he begged that publishers wbo could feel for him, and who would help a suffering fellow-creature--helping the right at the same time--should copy. Even English or French papers might help him, if they would. This he car­ ried to the publisher of his own favorite daily, and the man took the article as a favor, and would listen to no mention of payment. The article was printed, and very soon Harry knew that it had been extensively copied. At the end of a month or a lit­ tle more, Harry met one of the report­ ers of his daily paper, who informed him that at least two London dailies, and one of Liverpool, had copied his article. The winter passed--a cold, cheerless winter without, and, to Harry Went­ worth, cold and very near to cheerless within ! It was very hard thus to live. He could not fail to see that the finger of suspicion was pointed at him, and more than once he heard, as li© passed certain people who had once been proud to be classed among his friends, such words as these : " Poor fellow ! I pity him, anyhow!" or " Ah ! see. It wears on him, don't it ? Well, I don't won­ der !" And once he heard : " Bah ! if I was in his place, I'd either diear out and make my money do me some good, or else I'd own up. During these dark months he did not see Emma once; but he had a precious line from her that gave him courage and strength. She was as true as refined gold. The spring opened and one day in early May Harry met Loren Baraett, the paying-teller of the M Bank-- met him on the street--looking pale, thin and wretched. He had at first seemed inclined to avoid the youth, but, when he found he oould not, he met him with seeming frankness and pleas­ ure. " You are looking poorly, Mr. Baraett. Have you been sick ?" So spoke Harry, after the opening salutations and a few casual remarks. " I've had a bad turn," answered the teller, languidly. "In fact, I've got a sort of run down. The confinement of the bank is too much for me. I think of going into the country--on to a farm --in the course of a few months. Come up this summer and I'll give you some trouting. There are splendid streams in the neighborhood of my farm." " Oh--you own a farm ?" " Yes--I've owned one for some time." And with this he turned away. Two things surprised Harry : First-- That any man holding the office of pay­ ing-teller should talk of the confinement of the business. And second--that a man possessing such health and vigor as Loren Baraett had possessed six months before could have become so reduced by any amount of legitimate labor. And these thoughts were not quick to leave the mind that had conceived them. It was on Monday that Harry met Baraett on the street. On the following Wednesday he received a note from Mr. Lempierre, the chief sentence of which was, "Be at my private room •at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. Fail not!" And Harry went. On entering the little private sanctum he found there the three members of the firm, and with them a man whom he at first took for an utter stranger, but whose countenance became familiar when he had been in­ troduced as Mr. George Sefton, of Lon­ don, England; and our hero then re­ membered of having met him and spoken with him, at a large city carpet store, a year or so previously. He was the son of a heavy carpet manufactuier of England, and acting as American agent. " Come, come," cried Lempierre, as soon as Harry had taken the only spare seat at Hand; "we have no time to waste. Harry, my boy, your printer's ink has served you, after all. But I won't an­ ticipate. Let Sefton tell his storv. We have heard it, Hal, so he may tell it to you as he pleases." " It is very simple," said the young Englishman, turning to Harry. " Some time in February last--toward the last of the month--I took up a copy of a daily newspaper, and found therein the article which you had written, and caused to be printed ; and you may im­ agine my feelings when the fact came home to me that I, very likely, was the one man in the world--and the only one --for whose eye it had been written. Ah ! you start. Let me tell you--it is very simple, and can be told in a few words. . " On the 20th day of last December, in the afternoon, I was on my way, en - :*•* ^ v v 5 'i ' "> r •* - * v , jf^. it IOI NOTES. garnets! gpppsp i * » m •» s f j f v i * > 4- * ' V * t- ^ * A 1". vi,** foot, to the steamer in whioh I was to take passage for England. I had only an hour of my own, and you can imagine that time for me to waste was not then. I was walking rapidly, with my coat collar turned up and my hat pulled down, because a strong east wind set up the street and struck me in the face. Still, I kept mv eyes open before me, and by-and-by I saw you come out upon the Bidewalk from the M B ink, and as I looked I thought I saw some tiling drop at your feet--something of a bright yellow color, and glistening in the light. You turned down a street to tli6 leit-- your own left--before I met you; and wheh I had reached the spot where I had seen the object fall I found an en­ velope of bright manila paper, evidently filled with bank notes, and upon the face of the envelope was the imprint of the bank. Had my time been my own I should have followed you, but a* I had none to spare I ran up into the bank and found the paying teller alone at his desk and alone in * the room! I showed him the envelope and asked him if he recog­ nized it. 'Certainly,'he said. 'I gave it not five minutes ago to Mr. Wentworth for Lempierie and Company.' . "Then I told the teller hew I had seen you drop it, and how my need to reaoh the steamer had prevented me from following you. Ah! I can remem'- ber how eagerly--how heartlessly---he asked mgtit I was going to Europe! and then h^r earnestly he protested his gratitude to me in your behalf; and how he offered to give me any sum which I might be pleased to claim for my trouble, feeling warranted in the assur­ ance that either you or your employers would cheerfully make it up. But you can imagine how I treated tnat. 1 only got the man'd name--Loren Baraett-- and then, having been assured that the packet should be faithfully delivered, I went my way. "And that was the last until I saw your appeal in the paper. You con im­ agine my surprise. I saw it all in an instant. The temptation had been too strong for the teller's honesty. He had said to himself: ' That man is going to Europe. That may be the last of him in this country. Here are $80,000--to me a fortune! Ah, how easily I can hold on to it!' So he thought, and so he did-; and--so he might have done to the end, but for your appeal in the pa­ per. I have not put myself out at all in anything I have done. I was arranging for another visit to the United States when I saw the article, and the most I did was to expedite matters a little. And now, gentlemen, you have the matter in your own hands. Call upon me as you may feel to need my assistance." Mr. Lempierre looked at his watch. It was just half-past 9. The bank would open at 10 for business; and if they should go thither at once they would be likely to find the working force at their posts. Only three went to the bank--Mr. Lempierre, Mr. Sefton and Harry Went­ worth. Arrived at the outer door of the institution they knocked at the door of the private room of the cashier, whom they found in. Mr. Lempierre was at once welcome, as were any whom he might bring in; so the three entered and were seated. "Is Mr. Baraett in ?" asked the mer­ chant. The cashier, with a swift glance at Harry and another at the stranger, seemed to comprehend. A tremor shook his frame, and his breath came with evi­ dent labor. " Yes," he said, in a whisper. "And this is his last day with us.. He is in­ structing hjg successor." " Will you call him. in?"r< ..w,„. The cashvbr vrose and opdnea the door oommunicating with the bank room and called Mr. Burnett's name, and added, " Will you step this way?" Baraett came quickly. He had en­ tered the room before looking to see whom he was to meet. He saw the old merchant and then saw Harry Went­ worth, and then he saw another face. There was a moment's hesitation--a start --a flash--a light upon his countenance as the recognition came to him, and then, with a gasping groan, he tottered back against the wall and stared upon the Englishman with deadly terror and affright. "Oh, Loren Baraett," spoke Mr. Lempierre, " what have you done ? I would not have believed it possible. The taking of the money was nothing compared to the deadly sin of the mur­ der ! Ay, the murder of a young and hopeful reputation! Loren Barnett, what reparation can you make ?" Let us not attempt to picture the scene. It was dreadful. The wretch went down upon his knees and begged for mercy. The money he had withheld --stolen--ay, ten thousand times worse than stolen--had been a curse to him, and only a curse. From the moment that he had put that packet away next to his bosom, resolved to keep it as his own, and allow another to suffer for the crime--.from that moment he had known no such thing as peace--had known no joy, no gladness--and not a natural smile had appeared upon his waning, fading face ! Those who saw and understood would not punish him more. He had not spent the money--or he was able to make up the amount, and when that had been done he was suffered to depart to his far-away country home, there to drag out a weary existence, burdened by the memory of one deed that was sufficient to make dark and cheerless his pathway to the silent shore. Need we tell of the result to Harry Wentworth? Need we tell how the old friends came Hooking back, and how they all declared they had never believed him guilty ? But what cared he so long as the stern Judge, of his own. free will, sought him out, and, with warm and generous im­ pulse of loveaad good-will, asked his forgiveness^and led him like a son of his choice back to the side of his once smiling^ and happy daughter? A BOVS LUCK. The Norristown (Pa.) Herald in a reoent issue referred, among others, to the follow­ ing cases of special interest. They are their own commentary. Mr. Sunnel C. Nyce resides at 308 Marshall street, and holds the responsible position- of journal clerk in the Pennsylvania Legislature, at Harrisburg. While Mr. Nyce and family were in the country recently, his boy, aged 3 years, fell and broke his leg. He recov­ ered, but a very troublesome stiffness set in ind he could scarcely use the leg. The in­ jured limb was rubbed several times with St. Jacobs Oil, and the stiffness was so much redaced that the boy was able to use his leg freely. Dr. Knipe said it was the use of St. Jacobs Oil that cured 4he stiff­ ness. Mr. Nyce himself used the Great German Remedy for toothache with good effect, and also for sprains and pains of rheumatic nature, and always with good effect. Mrs. Nyce also mya she thinks the Oil is a splendid thingt and she always keeps it on hand.

WATTS, of South Carolina, reports having a female Angora goat that throughout the season gives four quarts of milk daily, and of a quality equal in richness with that of any Jersey cow on his farm. He also says an Angora goat will thrive where a cow will starve, and six goats will subsist well, in a pasture which would only afford sufficient nour­ ishment for one cow.--American Culti­ vator. BUTTER is firm and tenacious, and re­ quires very little working, when churned at the right temperature and time. It is waxy, is easily moulded into any desired shape, and can be drawn out at consid­ erable length without breaking, when it is in the right state. This is what is termed "gilt edged," and it must be in this condition to possess that rich, nutty flavor., agreeable aroma and that, nleaaina golden-yellow color, which imparts so igh a degree of satisfaction in eating, and which increases the value of the but­ ter in market PBOF. ARNOLD says that the best rule for salting butter is to salt to suit the taste of the consumer. There is no use in applying any particular amount of salt for the purpose of preserving butter; because the very lightest salting is al­ ways more than sufficient for all the ef­ fect salt can have as a preservative ele­ ment. Generally, one ounce of salt to sixteen ounces ol butter, so as to obscure in a measure any faulty taste, is suffi­ cient. If the flavor is very fine it will not be desirable to change it, but on the contrary to give it more prominence; hence, the less salt, say one ounce to twenty of butter, the better. THE farmer| who makes sheep hus­ bandry profitable is the man who care­ fully selects his breeding ewes, annually culls out the old and inferior stock to fatten for the market, and constantly keeps thoroughbred rams for breeding. If he cannot afford to start with purely bred ewes, he can, by judicious selection, have a flock nearly equal to those com­ posed of thoroughbred ewes. To be successful it is necessary to keep the stock young, thus giving the best wool. Liberal feeding will increase the weight of the fleece a pound or two, as com­ pared with indifferent feeding. THE English flockmaster has settled two points in British experience, first that mutton is more profitable than wool, and second that among English mutton consumers there is a decided preference for Down or black-faced mutton. Ten­ der, juicy flesh, with a fine grain and a rich flavor, ripe and yet carrying plenty of lean meat, is that which suits the English market. A combination of these qualities is found to most perfection in some of the black or gray-faced breeds or their crosses. This preference on the Eart of buyers is so marked that the utcher is enabled to give at least two cents per pound more for dark-faced mutton than for any of the white-faced and long-woollod sheep. LECTURERS on science or writers con­ nected with agriculture should avoid scientific terms as much as possible, or otherwise explain them. A good story used to be told of P. T. Barnum, who, haviDg attended an agricultural leoture, where the speaker was very lavish in his praiseB of muriate of soda as a fertilizer, went in the morning and ordered several tons to be sent to his farm, which in due time was delivered. His farmer opened one of the casks with the intention of applying it, and was not a little sur­ prised with its familiar appearance, and, on tasting it, was satisfied that its ap­ pearance did not belie it, for it WAS com­ mon salt. He started for Mr. Barnum, and accosted him in the following man­ ner: " Mr. Barnum, what did you say that stuff was that came yesterday?" "Muriate of soda." "Muriate of soda!" said the farmer. " It's nothing but salt." "Nonsense," said Mr. Bar­ num. " It is muriate of soda." " Mr. Barnum come and see for yourself." He went, and saw and tasted it, and de­ clared it to be the greatest fraud ever perpetrated. He started for the city, and went directly to the dealer from whom it was bought, and asked what the stuff was they had sent him. Their reply was, "muriate of soda, as or­ dered. " " It is a mistake, for it ih nothing but oommon salt." Then, for the first time he learned that common salt and muriate of soda are one and the same thing.--American Cultivator. I HAVE always spoken of the advan­ tages of irrigation in increasing garden or truck crops. To make the profits larger and more sure, use liquid manure. The German proprietor of eight acies, referred to by Mr. Morris in " Ten Acres Enough," who transformed the neglected farm of a drunkard owner into a garden of immense productiveness and great profit, furnishes an example of an an inexpensive kind of tank, made by sinking a brick cistern in the barn­ yard, into which the liquid manure from six cows and two horses was conducted, Wehfi hand HI) (From the Detroit KrM Prua " Hmuehald."] And prio AIB SLACKED lime is an exoellent polish ' »r silver and tin wars. ' -JP- . ALWAYS flour your tins after greasing, " c l?fore putting in cake. The cake will eave from the pans more readily. » McHtTo ALWAYS insure light dumpling, mix let stand two or three hours before sing; cut into thin strips, roll in flour id boil twenty minutes. GOOD COOKIES WITHOUT EGGS.--One ip of very thick sour cream, one of igar, one teaspoonfnl of soda, one of iking powder, a little salt and nutmeg; ix with as little flour as possible and tke in a quick oven. GARMENTS to be ironed in oold starch lould be immediately dipped into boil- ^""ig water, and ironed as soon as Btarched. * * * JCOU will, in this way, have no trouble with flats sticking to the cloth. Another good way is to wet the starch with weak, cold suds made from white soap. HAM SANDWICHES.--Chop the ham fine and season it with salt, pepper and mustard. If the lean meat alone is used a little butter may be added. Spread between thin slices of bread. Cheese sandwitches are very thin; the cheese may be grated or cut in thin slices. Mustard is added or not as pleased. PET POUND CAKE.--Beat one pound of butter and one pound of sugar to a cream, whisk ten eggs to a high froth and add one and a half pounds of flour, one wintglassful of vanilla; beat all until light and creamy. Put into a tin pan with buttered paper and bake in a moderate oven one and a half hours. SEABREEZH CAKE.--Beat half a pound of butter to a cream. Take six eggs; beat the whites to a staff froth and the yoiks with one hail pound powdered sugar and ten ounces of flour. Beat all well together; add a glass of brandy and one-quarter pound of citron cut into thin slices. Bake it in sip all tins in a quick oven for twenty minutes. CREAM BISCUITS. --Delicious little cream biscuits for afternoon tea are made by mixing self-raising flour with cream, which roll into a thin, smooth paste, prick, cut and bake immediately. They should be kept dry in a close tin box. If the flour is not self-raising, salt it lightly, and mix with it a dessertspoonful of bak­ ing powder. SNOWDON CAKE.--This is a genuine Scotch recipe, and is a great favorite with Scotch-American families. Beat to a cream half a pound of butter, three- quarters of a pound of granulated sugar, the whites of six eggs, half a teacup of cream; and one pound of Bermuda arrowroot Add the beaten yokes of two of the eggs and a very little salt Bake in a mold one hour or more. STAFFORDSHIRE CAKE. -- Beat one pound of butter to a cream with a tea- spoonful of orange-flower water; then add one pound of powdered sugar, ten eggs beaten very light, and one and one- quarter pounds of flour; beat the cake well together, then add half a pound of sweet almonds beaten to a paste; butter some tin molds, line them with white paper; put in the mixture one and a half indies deep and bake in a quick oven one hour. ELEANOR MACAROONS.--Pulverize one pound of sweet almonds quite fine with the whites of four eggs ; add two and a half pounds of sugar and rub them well together; put in by degrees fen more whites, working them well as you put them in ; put the mixture into a biscuit funnel and lay them out on wafer paper in pieces about the size of a wahiut; put three or .four pieces of almonds cut into thin slips on each, and bake them on a baking-plate in a slow oven one-half hour. TEMPEST CAKE. --Beat one pound but­ ter to a cream and mix with it the whites and yolks of eight eggs, beaten separ­ ately; have ready warm by the fire one pound flour one pound sugar; mix them with a few cloves, nutmeg and cinna­ mon, then gradually work the dry in­ gredients into the butter and eggs; when well beaten add a glass of wine and three-quarters of a pound of dried cur­ rants; beat well for one hour and put into a buttered tin Aad bake in a quick oven for one hour. MASHED POTATOES.--Pare and boil the potatoes, and after every trace of the water has evaporated, mash them with your pestle, still in the kettle over the fire ; they are naught if not kept hot. Get out every suggestion of a lump and as you mash put in a generous quantity of fresh butter, and, if you have it, some cream--if not cream, enough milk to make the potato rich and moist. Salt it to taste, and serve fresh and hot piled up and smoothed over in a hot dish with a little black pepper sifted on top. Mashed potatoes which has stood on the stove for a while before serving is poor stuff. H you want the top brown hold over it a salamander or a very hot stove lid--don't put the dish into the oven, that only makes the contents watery. Its Equal la Unknown. A Lowell (Mass.) paper, so we observe, cites the case of Mr. P. H. Short, proprie­ tor of the Belmont Hotel, that city, who suffered with lheum itism for seventeen years without finding relief from any of the numerous remedies employed until he ap­ plied St. Jacobs Oil. "I never found any medicine that produced such remarkable and instantaneous effect as it did," says Mr. Short.--Lyons (Iowa) Mirror. DEATH is the tyrant of the imagina­ tion.
