The Genuine Mrs. Pa,tington.

Many journals in the country have perpetrated a
variety OF jokes at the expense of Dame Partngton
and the Boston Post has said some admirable things
IN her name, which have been copied far and wide.
Many persons esteem her a sort of Mrs. Harris,
whose name is merely stalking horse for the con-
veniencc of newspaper wits This is all mistake :
there was real Mrs. Darlington. and she owed her
fame to the wit of Sidney Smith. who in a speech
on the reform BILL at Taunton in England, referred
to her as follows

great flood upon that town. the tide rose to an in
credible height. the rushed upon the houses

Saving Meat at the south.
There certain established rules amono most
farmers Tor putting up Beef and Pork. and innova-
tons upon those rules would be as bad as altering
the laws of the Modes and Persians: and the result
is that at least onethird of the meat ATTEMPTED to
be cured here is either tainted or lost entirely Some
few years since we found recipe for saving beef in
the summer months, in agricultural paper and
as we had an unruy steer that had not eiyility e.
nough to wait for the gathering of the crops before
he roamed the pea field, we constrained to put
hlm into the barrel, although it was the hottest
weather of August We followed that recipe and
never saw finer and sweeter meat from the famed
Fulton market We have never hesitated since
summer or winter, whenever we wanted beef TO kill
and pack away, and have never had any but the
sweetest meat. Here is the method try it Won who
nave me young beeves that falling away dailv
waiting Fer weather cold enough to kill
Cut the meat into convenient pieces for packing.
and wash each piece in clear cold water taking care
to extract all the blood. Now let it drain well and
to every hundred pounds of meat take four pounds of
pulverlzed Rock Salt, and four pounds of best New
Orleans Sugar mix these we'll together AM rub each
piece OF meat we'll with the mixture. Have now a
barrel perfectly sweet, and commence packing the
pieces into it as eompactly possible, layer upon
layer, until the cask is full Now applv a follower
on the top with weights to keep the meat in its
place, and either with close head or good cloth,
cover the barrel In twenty four hours it will
be filled with pickle, and will keep as we'll in July
as January Families in towns and cities that wish

jars taking the proportion of salt and sugar as
to the hundred pounds.
And now as winter opens mild, what is to be
done with porkers Corn dollar bushel and
the weather too warm too kill. Hogs will eat the
value of their carcasses in short time what is to be
done? We answer kill your hogs whenever you are
ready especially if there is white frost. All the
pork requires for safe keeping once to get cold to
the bone and this it will do in one night Rub the
hams and shoulders we'll with fine salt and sugar,
pack them close in tight sweet cask, and pour a
pickle strong enough to bear an egg over them
They may be taken out at the proper time and smo-
ked and may be returned to the pickle again Or not
The sides may be made into Picked Pork OF may be
picked for smoking For picked pork, nothing but
the clean side should be taken; this should be cut
into small convenient pieces for packing and should
be packed in rock salt First give layer of salt to
the bottom of the cask and then pack pieces of pork
in edge ways, as close as they can be packed now

is full Now make pickle strong enough to bear

Sad, and sick the fever burns
Within my breast a hell
Oh give me water ere die
Water, my thirst to quell;
One long, one deep, refreshing draught
From our old moss grown well.
1t seems to me, if could breathe
little mountain air,
And feel, as once. the mountain breeze
Lifting my tangled hair
Ihat these, with freedom might again
My wasting strength repair.
Think feel-that am crazed,-
see my mothers face:
Her soft sweet eyes look into mine,
feel her warm embrace.
Leave me not, mother till once more
Thy features l may trace
Twas but a vision brief yet SWEET
See how it fades from me
l thought | was at home again,
Under the green beach tree.
But now l know that was shot
In storming Monterey.
Woes me that l should languish here.
Like Eagle in net.
While stars and stripes in splendor floats.
And fire-eyed horses fret,
And swords send back their lightning gIcan,
To glancing bayonet
But do dream for now again
My native home | see:
faront and brother at the door,
My sister at the tree,
With water in her cup thirst
Sister-bring it to me-
I've wandered far in distant lands.
Beneath a scorchinc sun,
Where the bright orange quenches thirst,
But here have not one:
"ay-worn am |, my sister dear
Run with the water, run!
Sister, you sport-those lustrous eyes
From me thou canst not hide
Come; see the laurels l have pluck'd
On yon red mountains side;
Not white and pure as those We love,
But deep i'll crimson dyed.
Listen the deep-mouthed cannons speak
our nag Is streaming free:
And far along the distant hills
The fash of steel see,-
And bark! above the clink of arms,
The shout of victory.
Set firm thy foot-the path is steep;
Here ON this spot | fell.
See, how the earth and rocks are rent
By plunging shot and she'll;
And standing there in solid strength
The frowning citadel
dream again but now l walked
In deep ensanguined mud
And thirsty at st. Juan's bank
Upon its shore st God;
kneeied to drink, and on my lips
The water turned to blood.
But sense returns: and must die ;;
Fast GIBBS life's painting tide
Sister, farewell! Oh Jesus Christ.
On thee my hopes abide
Say, mother, " In his comttry's cause
My faithful boy has died.''
