no pressing necessity for the continu-

Those who have paid for the Journal

1t is my intention to effect full settle

The Wings OF Pennsylvania, not all of
them, for some we are glad to say, have
done their duty, have the consolation of
knowing that they have elected Martin Van
Buren,. The vote of Pennsylvania might
as well have been given to Harrison as to
Van Buren,. The votes of several of the
Wing counties at this election prove this
to be the result; and proof is wanting,
we have it in the fact that Governor Rit-

than General Harrison, but much larger
than Mr. Van Buren,.

Iodine in Conswption.--Thc external

ofemploying it, at an early stage of con-
sumption, which | consider at once safe

pared by mixing together two parts of n.y..
driodate of potash, one part of iodine, and
ten or twelve carts ofointment, is applied to
the surface of the chest, especially over the
part corresponding to that which is diseas-
ed of one or more lungs, in such quantities
to give rise to a considerable degree of
cutaneous inflammation, it will mostly be
found to produce great Improvement in

study the existing defects, and endeavor, as
fast as circumstances will permit, to remedy
them IF their land is too wet. they should
drain it,-if too stiff and clayey, they should
apply loosening manures,-if light and ste.
rile, they should make use of green crops of
clover as manure, with plaster, and lime.-

TURKISH PREPARATION OF TOMATO

Sir I'm one of your late numbers OBJ
served notice of the tomato. by one who
appears to appreciate the vegetable at its
Just value. Without, however, agreeing
with your correspondent in all its claims to
excellence as an important article of the Ma
terra Medica, conceive VIC have nothing
to equal it in giving puugency and flavor to
our commonest dishes. 1t is great desld.
cratum to have it at all seasons of the year,
and some of your readers will doubtless
feel obliged by learning how to obtain it in
a simple, easy, and economical manner. In
Turkey, it is universal favorite, and enters
into the composition of all their sauces. |
frequently saw it made, and the following
recipe may be depended on, as it was cor
rected under the eye OF the good-house-wie
herself.
The tomatoes are first washed in 4 weak
brine and hung up in a cool place to drain
uil the following day; then squeeze them
thoroughly by hand, throwing away skins.
The PUPPY mass is strained through fine
cloth to prevent the seeds from passing
through, it is then saltcd; put into shallow
carthern dishes and exposed to the sun for
II days, or until it becomes thick paste. 1t
should be stirred with wooden spoon twice
a day while exposed to the sun. 1t is then
fit for use. With respect to the quantity to
be added to the paste, the rule is to put a
handful and half 10 the pulp of hundred
tomatoes, iiarge, and less ifsmall.
Those who prepare Tomatoes in this
way will be surprised at the small quantity
obtained; but their surprise will cease when
they learn how far it will 60. A bit not lar
ger than Lima bean will be sufficient TO
flavor the soup of a family Of 20 persons ;
and a much smaller quantity for sauces.
A small pot which | brought with me, con-
tanning about half a pint, lasted my family
more than year, and we used it very
freely.
By stirring it frequently, fresh portions
are exposed to the sun, and the salt is more
thoroughly incorporated with it. The rule
ofl2 days holds good at Constantinople,
and | think would be sufficient here. At
any rate, it should be thoroughly dried, GOV.
ering it over OF nj ght, it becomes of the
.nrs;s.arGc &C hard h,,.te-.

TALE OF RUN AND RUIN.

Mr.. --, was the only child of his
parents.-He was the pride ofhis father, and
idol ofhis mother. He possessed an amia.
bic disposition, and was uncommonly kind
in his feelings. TO her fondness, his mother
united excessive indulgence; so much so,
that she could not find it in her heart to deny
him any request Nothing marked his early
years, but in 1922, when at the age Of l5 or
16, he became convinced that his amiable
disposition and kind department would not
secure him the favour Of God, and it was
hoped he then applied for pardon to the
blood of Christ. Soon after he united with
the church in his native place, and erected
an altar where morning and evening, he met
his parents, and offered up their family sac

blessings on those who lavished on him all

had not been long in his new abode, before
lady, whose heavenly hopes corresponded
with his, came to the village on visit to her
friends, with whom he formed marriage

his parents and where could he find more
promise Of domestic enjoyment? They
were devoted to his happiness. and he to
theirs, and as he was sole heir to their COM
potency, his prospects were iattering for his
rising family.
Although the religious exercises Of the
family had tenderly affected the hearts OF
the parents, yet tthey thought best to dispense
with these in the tavern, as they might be
an interruption to travellers, and soon, both

crRE For A PASSIONATE TEMPER.

A merchant in London having dispute
with quaker, respecting the settlement of
an account, the merchant was determined
to bring this question into court, proceed
ing the Quaker earnestly deprecated, using
every argument in his power to convince
the merchant of error but the latter was
inflexible. DESTROYS to make his last effort,
the Quaker called at his house one morning
and inquired of the servant if his master was
at home. The merchhnt hearing the in.
quiry, and knowing the voice, called aloud
from the top the stairs, Tell that rascal
| am not at homc." The quakcrlookng up
towards him calmly said, "Well friend, God
put thee in better mind. THE merchant,
struck with the meekness Of the reply, and
having more deliberately investigated the
matter, became convinced that the Quaker
was right and he was wrong. He request
ed to sec him and after acknowledging his
error he said, Il have one question to ask
you-how were you able, with such patience
on various occasions, TO hear my abuse p

art. knew that to indulge this temper was
sin, and found that it was imprudent. |
observed that men in a passion always
speak aloud and | thought i'll could control
my voice, should suppress my passion. |
have therefore made it a rule never TO suffer
nv voice to rise above certain key; and
by a careful observance ofthis rule, have,
with the blessing Of God, entirely mastered
my natural temper. The Quaker reason
ed Philanthropcally, and the merchant, as
every one else may do, was benefited by
his example.
