ERRORS IN CooKING-Dr. Drake of
Cincinnati, in late treatise on the prin-
cipal diseases of the interior valley of
North America, gives the following emu
meration of the vicious modes of cooking
which prevail in the Valley
l. With the mass of our population,
bread of every kind is apt to be baked
too soon after the flour or meal has been
wetted-that is, before there has been
sufficient maceration. But what is still
worse, it is scarcely ever baked enough.
2. Biscuits, as they are called, are bak-
ed in close ovens, by which process the
fat they contain is rendered empyreu-
matte and indigestible.
3. When the dough for leavened bread,
by excess of panary fermentation, has
been charged with acetic acid, that pro-
duct is not in general neutra!ized by the
carbonate of potash or soda, but the
bread is eaten sour.
f. Pastry, instead of being faky and
tender. is often tough and hard, sometimes
almost horny.
5. Meats are often baked and fried, in
stead of being roasted or broiled, where
by they become impregnated with en-
pneumatic oil. and not unfrequently
charred on the outside. In general they
are overcooked
6. Fresh Mea. and especially poultry
are commonly cooked too soon after
death.
7. Soup is often prepared from parts
deficient i'll gelatine, and abounding in
fat, which swims upon the surface, and
is much more indigestible than the meat
would have been, if eaten in the solid
form.
8. Eggs are generally boiled SO hard as
to render them tough, and many are often
fried in fat, to still greater degree of
induration. Fried bacon and eaten with
unleavened biscuit, containing lard, and
then buttered. is favorite breakfast in
many parts of the valley.
9. Vegetables, aboundirg in fecula,
such as potatoes, rice and pulse, are often
boiled SO little, that all the stratch grains
are not burst open; while those contain.
ing albumen, as cabbage; are boiled unit
that element is firmly coagulated and de-
posted in the structure of the leaf.

"If there is any body under the canis'
ter of heaven that have in utter excre-
sence," said Mrs. Partington, "it is tale
bearer and slanderer. going, about like
vile boa constructor, circulating his cam
omile about honest folks. l always
know one by his phismahogany. It
seems as if Belzebob has stamped him
with private signal, and every thing he
looks at appears to turn yaller." And
having uttered this some what elaborate
speech, she was seized with fit of
coughing, and called for some demulcent
drops.

A New BUSINESS IDEA.-Very curious
arrangements have lately been made by
some enterprising Frenchman to "show
Paris to greenhorns." Rail-trains from
the remotest parts of France, are engaged
to bring up those who have "never seen
the elephant" For certain sum, the
embarking passenger will be taken up to
town.. shown everything, and safely re-
turned within a given time. Complex
and elaborate arrangements are made tor
the qualification of his curiosity while in
the city He is to have tickets provided
to every kind of ball; eat every kind OF
dinner, swim in every kind of bath: go
to every theatre; see every exhlbllon;
lunch, breakfast and sup at famous places;
have fair majority of his questions an-
swered. and fair qualification OF his un-
forseen points of curiosity. Nothing,
which he would be wiser and better for
knowing, will be omitted, and the usual
s'bitter experiences" (of much of the
knowledge) will be left out. All this is
performed for certain price, prepaid by
the uoviciate. The idea is an excellent
one, and we hope to see it carried out in
other large cities.

THE N1GHT-sroRM AT SEA.

sTis dreary thing to be
Tossing on the wide, wide sea,
when the sun has set in clouds,
And the wind sighs through tho shrouds
With voice and with a tone
Like a living creatures moan.
look, how wildly sweIls the surge
Round the back horizons verge.
See the giant bilows rise.
From the ocean to the skies,
While the sea-bird wheels his flight
Der their streaming crests Of white!
List. the wind is wakeniag fast;
All the sky is overcast;
Lurid vapsrs, hurrying. trad
In the pathway Of the gale.
As it strikes US with shock
That might rend the deep-set rock.
Falls the strained and shivered mast
Spars are scattered by the blast;
And the sails are split asunder,
As cloud is rent by thunder;
and the struggling vessel shakes,
As the wild sea DER her breaks.
All! what sudden light is this,
Blazing DER the dark abyss?
Lo: the full moon rears her form
mid the cloud riffs of the storm,
And, athwart the troubled air,
Shines, like hope upon despair:
Every leaping bllow CLEANS
With the ustre of her beams,
And lifts high its 6ery plume
Through the midnight's parting glsanss
While its scattered fakes of gold
O'e the sinking deck are relied.
Father, low ca bended knee,
Huu,bled, weak, we turn to Thee;
Spare US, mid the fearful fight
OF the raging winds to night;
GUIDE US DER the threat'ning wave;
Save us;-Thou alone can'st save!

EXECUTION OF PRoF. WEBsrER.-We
take from the telegraphic dispatches the
following account of the last moments
of this murderer. 1t would seem to US
no violation of the justice of Providence,
if his family, to whose extravagance and
efforts to maintain a position among the
"upper ten" of Boston, he owed his en-
barrassments, and consequent crime,
were made to feel a portion of the punish
ment instead of the sympathy and mis-
directed charity so literally awarded:
BosToN, Aug. 30.
Prof. Webster, after his family left
him last night, as he confidently alledged
in perfect uuconciousness of his coming
fate, was searched and placed in a new
cell. in order to prevent the possibility of
suicide. From clock last night till
12. he passed in devotional conversation
with his watchers. At IL. he fell into a
short doze, but did not sleep heavily
He spoke of his impending fate with for
titude and resis nation, and seemed grate-
full that the time of his death had been
kept from his family. At the various
noises OF the opening OF the day, he
seemed to be somewhat agitated, but
soon recovered his composure. BY ad-
vice, he breakfasted upon tea and bread,
inviting the officers to partake with him.
He made preparation for ascending the
scaffold with firmness. About 80 per-
sons were admitted to the jail-yard, and
the house-tops and windows adjoining
the Jail were crowded with persons,
amongst whom were ladies(0 The
stands near the Jail were also crowded,
but not densely.
At 9 o'clock this morning, the last re;
ligious ceremony commenced with for
NAL prayer. Jones was the officer who
attended during the scene. He and
LiShton treated the prisoner with the ut.
most kindness. Last night DR.. Putnam
remained more than two hours with DIR.

Prof. Webster conversed with the Off:

ed to meet his fate. His appearance

fore 8 o'clock. Upon the requisition of
high sheriff Eveleth, force of 1875 men,
consisting of police and watchmen; were
detailed to keep guard, Of whom 25 were
stationed within the yard. The scaffold
was in the centre of the yard, and the
witnesses invited were admitted at 10
minutes before 9. Their names were
called, and the business stated by the
sheriff. They formed in columns two
and two; and visited the prisoners cell,
when Dr.. Putnam offered a prayer. The
hal! leading to the cell was full, stiffness
and solemnity prevailed. The witnesses
then returned to the yard. At 90 min
utes before 10, high sheriff Eveleth, at
tended by deputies Ledburn, Fireman,
Rullel, and others, conducted Webster to
the scafold. The last duty was then
performed. Webster died almost with
out struggle.

Sophronius, a wise teacher. would not
suffer even his grown up sons and daugh-
ters to associate with those whose con.
duct was not pure and upright.
"Dear father" said the gentle Eudalia
to him one day, when he forbade her, in
company with her brother. to visit the
volatile Lucinda, "dear father, you mus:
think us very childish, if you imagine
that we should be exposed to danger by it,
The father took in silence dead coal
from the hearth, and reached it to his
daughter. ut will not burn you, my
child; take it."
Eudalia did so, and behold! her delicate
white hand was soiled and blackened,
and as it happened. her white dress also.

Work IF YOU WOULD RrsE.-Richard
Burke being found in a revery. shortly
after an extraordinary disply of powers
in the House of Commons by his BROTHER
Edmund, and questioned by Mr.. Malone
as to the cause, replied, II have been
wondering how Ned has contrived to
monopoliZe all the talents of the family;
but then, again, I remember. aohen zoe
aOere at play, lie a0as at aOork." The
force of the anecdote is increased by the
fact, that Richard Burke was considered
rot inferior, in natural talents, to his bro
ther. Yet the one rose to greatness.
while the other died comparatively OBJ
scure. Don't trust to your genius, young
man, if you would rise; work. work. work.

A New CEMENT The Montgomery
Advertiser contains the following hoticS
of new and valuable cement discovered
and prepared by Mr.. Remington. of
bridge notoriety. If the Advertiser is
not deceived as to its properties, it will
prove most valuable discovery:
REMINGTON CEMENT.-We witnessed
few days since, some very extraordinary
results from few of the most simple
and cheap ingredients-the most impor-
;ant being common sand. We saw them
mixed before our eyes in two minutes
and spread, or rather poured upon the
roof of house, where, in few hours.
it became hard-so perfectly so in cou-
pie of days, that it could be with great
difficulty broken even with the severest
blow of an axe. We suppose it would
not be doing justice to the inventor or dis
coverer TO mention the ingredients, but
we may say that they are very cheap.
vastly abhndent in almost every locality
throughout the United States, and the
process or rationale SO perfectly simple
that child could make the mixture, it
requiring not the least skill. 1t is perfect
ly impervious to water, slightly elastic.
and non-conductor of eiectricity-three
qualities or properties which render 1t
peculiarly fitted to the objects for which
it was intended by the inventor or dis
coverer, viz, the covering of houses,
fences, &c.
Mr.. Remington thinks its durability
equal TO that of granite. 1t is certainly
quite as difficult to separate after being
exposed two or three days to the air, as
we ourselves have seen tried, by the
blows Of an axe. The covering for
houses will be less expensive than tn At
of wood, and its use for fences will. per.
haps, be but slightly more so.
One or two houses have already been
covered with it in our city, and others
have been contracted for. AS to cohesive
and adhesive qualities, and its imper-
viousness to water and Its cheapness,
there can be 10 doubt; and If it's durabili-
ty is as great as is claimed for it by the
inventor, then it is one Of the most i'm.
portant and useful discoveries Of the age.
