OF MAKING BREAD.--Our readers may

lhe first two attempts were failures:
but the third was crowned with triumph

had bread no, TO be equallcd by The ba-
kers-..light, moist, sweet, free from the
mixture ofsour and bitter usually found
in fcrmen,ed bread. Here is the re.
cipe for good sized loaf large enough

Take three pounds Of flour; mix with
il three tenspoonsful OF so,n, passing
tho whole through sieve, in order ,la,

execution was fixed for the 2Sth uIt., and
the municipal authorities determined bu. il

an old custom OF exposing prisoners con-
dcmncd to death during three days pre-
ccding the execution. Accordingly, Blcn-
del was placed in the vcs,ihuIc of the prs

public were admitted. But the crowd was
so large that all could not obtain access:
and the municipality, in consequence, had

What has been Saved?

The New York Herald in noticing
the rejection Of the various schemes OF
plunder sought TO be consummatcd by
the passage Of The bills before Congress
says:
''ln financial point Of view, the
House seems 10 have been seized with
radical and mos, comlnrndublc fit OF
economy. The rcgulnr estimates OF
The departments appear 10 have been
cut down some three millions Of dollars;
and ii seems that the want Of time
compelled the Senate to ncccpt the
curiailment. The failure oflhc French
Spolialion bill Of five millions, saves that
additional amount of money to The
Treasury. We speak OF the subject
financially. The money is saved, be
cause it is hardly 10 be expected ,ha,
with an increasing pressure for cash,
these indcmnllies cun succeed nl the
next Congress. The failure Of Miss
Dix's Land bill for the benefit Of The
Iunntcs of all lhc States, is saving OF
Sl2,50OO, rs far as IL saving Of The
public lands amounts 10 anything. The
failure fSenate bills granting immense
tracts Of land to railroads and canals in
the Western and Southwestern States, is
probably equivalent 10 u saving OF
Sl0,0OO,0O0. The dclcu, Of ali the
new steamship projects is equal to n
saving OF at Icas, S5,UOO,OOO more.
Here is money saved 10 The cx,cn, OF
lhiIty-ivc millions, for The want Of time.
But economy was sadly ovcrslrnincd in
the opposition TO the amendment in aid oi
the splendid Collins line of Atlantic
steamers. Mr.. Clay, whose glory is
the glory ofhis country, took the proper
view Of The question. But there arc
Solons nt Washington before whose
eyes dollar looms up 10 the dimensions
Of cart wheel.
The secret ofthcsc retire .1chmcnts lies
in several causes. The opponents OF
tho administration nrc determined 10 re.
duce it TO shor, nlIowancc---.,hcy arc
opposed TO high tariffs; and wan, o!
money may lead to such cxpcdicnls.
The failure of the several bills in the
House, granting millions upon millions
Of acres TO The new States, for internal
improvements, is the natural result OF
the Western members "going il toe
strong" The rccoil has come upon
them; and the wise men of the East
like the ancient Dogbcrry, nrc begin

"heiher The cultivation Of tho tea plant

The Il Iird sect is that of beauties, who

There nre fifteen bishops in China,

Notwithstanding their excellent laws,
the Chinese inllict the most bnrbarous

therefore, know nothing Of our modern

Bring Your Heart into Your
Family Circle.

We sometimes meet with men who seem to
think that any indulgence in an affectionate
feeling is weakness. They will return from
Journey, and greet their families with distant
dignity,and move among their children with the
cold and lofty splendor of an iceberg, surround
ed by its broken fragments. There is hardly
more unnatural sight on earth, than one of these
families without heart. A father had better
extnguish boys eyes than take away his heart
Who that has experienced the joys Of friend
ship, and values sympathy and affection, would
not rather lose all that is beautiful in natures
scenery, than be robbed of the hidden treasure
of his heart! Cherish, then, your hearts best
affections. Indulge in the warm and gushing
emotions of flial, parental, and fraternal love.
think it moi weakness. God is love. Love
God, everybody, and everything that Is lovely
Teach your children to love ; to love the rose
to love the robin to love their parents; to love
their God. Let it be the studied object Of thei
domestic culture to give them warm hearts, ar
dent affections. Bind your whole family togeth
er by these strong cords. You cannot make
them too strong. Religion is love, love to God

A Good Story.

The following anecdote of John Jones and his
party which we find afoat, may be an old story,
but if so it will bear a re-perusal.
At the time OF the first election of General
Washington to the Presidency, there was par
ty in Virginia, called the " John Jones party"
Now the said John Jones was man of talent,
and plotting, shrewd fellow, possessing all the
requisites of politician, except personal popu-
larity. To overcome this deficiency, in con-
test with more popular candidate for Congress,
John early avowed himself the peculiar and de-
voted friend Of Washington, and upon this point
endeavored to place his rival in opposition. To
carry, out this object, he called meeting of
county, friendly to the election of Gen.
Washington. On the day appointed. Mr.. Jones
appeared, and was, on motion of friend, made
chairman. He opened the proceedings by
high eulogium upon the life and services of
Washington, but taking care only to speak of
himself as his early patron and most devoted
friend, ard concluded bya propoSa on to form
i pargg to be called z 1hs irue ond0ity sons q e
The Fisther Of kiS Country andpfor t6st object
he submitted to the consideration of the meet.
ing the following resolution: -essA
ReSolUed, That we are the friends of George
Washington, Esq., and will sustain him in the
coming election for President against all other
candidates.
"Gentlemen," said Mr.. Jones, ST the chair is
about to put the question. The Chair hopes
that every man will declare his sentiments for
or against-All those in favor of the resolution
will say aye"
The response was like the shout of many
voices.
"Now for the opposition" said Mr. Jones
"all of contrary mind say no."
Not voice was heard.
The dead silence seemed to confuse Mr.. Jones
little, and he said gentlemen, do vote. The
Chair can't decide disputed question, when no.
body votes on t'other side, so that the country
may know who are the true friends of Washing
ton."
Upon this appeal one of the audience arose
and said, he perceived the dilemma in which the
Chair was placed, and in order to relieve him
from such quandary, he proposed to amend the
resolution by adding after the name of Wash
ing, and John Jones for Congress" l accept
the amendment" said Mr.. Jones: "and the
Chair will now proceed to put the question as
amended"
"All those who are in favor of Gen. Washing
ton for President, and John Jones for Congress,
will please say AYE"
"Aye-aye," said Mr. Jones and his brother
Sam.
The Chair hesitated like, -"put the contrary"
said a hundred voices.
"All op-op-opposed say no."
".Mo no !" thundered the congregated null
titude.
Gentlemen" said Mr.. Jones, "the Chair
perceiveg that there are folks in this. mesting
what don't belong to our party they have come
here to agitate. l therefore adjourn this meet
ing" Upon which he lett the Chair, amidst
shouts and huzzas for Washington, and curses
for Jones.-BLnde.
