Preserves and Jellies.

GENERAL DIREcTIoNs.-Gather fruit
when il is dry.
Long boiling hardens the fruit.
Pour boiling water over the selves used,
and wiring out jelly bags in hot water the
moment YOU are to use them.
Do NOT squeeze while straining through
jelly bags.
Let the pots and jars containing sweat
meats just made, remain uncovered three
days.
Lay brandy papers over the top, cover
them tight and seal them, or, what is best
of all, soak split bladder and tie it tight
over them. In drying, it will shrink so as
20 be perfectly air-tight.
Keep them in dry, bur not warm place.
A thick leathery mould helps to preserve
fruit, but when mould appears in specs,
the preserves must be scalded IN a warm
oven, or be set into warm water, which
then must boil till the preserves are scalded.
Always keep watch of preserves which
are not sealed, especially in warm or damp
weather. The only sure way to keep them
without risk or care, is TO make them with
enough sugar and seal them, or tie bladder
covers over them.

Red Cedar Posts.

All kinds of Cedar are known to be very
durable, but the heart Of red cedar is per-
haps preferable on this account 10 any
other kind. and those parts of the tree
which are most knoIty will probably last
longest f. Bourne, in the Massachusetts
Plowman, states that on examining some
red cedar posts set by his father 48 years
since, he found those which were taken
from the butt end Of the tree a little de-
cayed on the outside : but those from the
second and third cats Of the tree were per-
techv sound.

SwEARING.-We have often spoken a
word against this sin. But can we say too
much when our ears are daily saluted with

can pass our streets and not hear language
that makes the virtuous blush Our youths
and children are growing up exceedingly
depraved- What must be done Grown
up men must be on their guard, and not
set pernicious example before children.
How many you hear talking loud in our
streets who have not pride and principle
enough about them to keep from words of
profanity Men must first reform, before
we can hope to do much with the youth.
We trust this word of caution may not be
in vain. When you would be profane re-
