SAssAFRAs.-Decidedly one Of the best, most
palatable, and healthful beverages for warm
weather, is sassafras mead. 1t is also very cheap,
and may be prepared by any one who will take the
trouble to procure the materials. Miss Leslie
gives the following recipe for making it:
"Mix gradually with two quarts of boiling wa
and quarter Of pound Of tartaTic acid Str
it WE'LL and cool, strain it into large jar or pan;
then mix in a quarter of an ounce of sassafras.-
Transfer it to clean bottles lit will fill about half
DOZEN cork it tightly, and keep it in a cool
place. Have ready box containing about quar-
ter Of pound of carbonate of soda, to use with
it. To prepare glass of it for drinking, pour a
little of the mead into a tumbler, stir into it
small quantity of soda, and then add sufficient
iee-water to fill the glass-give it stir, and it
will foam to the top
The principal materials for this excellent bev-
erage, may be obtained of the apothecaries.

Highly Important if True,

In the year l849, in the county o
 Posey, State of Indiana, there lived {
 worthy old lady, by the name of Jones
 she had an only daughter, whose name
 was Sally. Sally had arrived at the
 age of seventeen, which is about the
 time the fair sex feel inclined to mate
 There was spruce young farmer 1T
 the neighborhod, who had been paying
 his distresses to Sally for some time
 He wooed and won the fair Sally. The
 twain were made one by committing
 matrimony. A few days after the mar
 riage he came to take Sally to her new home, and Mrs. Jones considered il
 her duty to impart tG tC Sally all the in- tormati.11n relative to housekeepp,',ng that an experience of thirty years haI ena- bled her to accumulate. She commen- ced by initiating Sally into the mvste- rles of raising turkeys, ducks, chickens. etc.; then she informed her how to make the largest amount of butter from small amount of cream, how, in the winter, to put in little lard, when butter was high, she said Git wouldn't hurt" how to make large cake of bees-wax out of small amount of comb, by putting flour and dirt in; how to pour molassos -on dry honey comb; how to make hens that were too ancient to lay, and roosters too old to crow, pass for young and tender, by letting them hang in their entrails and feathers all night; and various other things, equally important, but too tedious to mention. She then put Sally on her guard when she was going to trade with the marchants,-she said they were great cheats, ginerally speaking, and would bear watching. She inffor- med her how to pick good factory, how to detect sand and flour in sugar, gravel in coffee, cracks in cups and sas cers and blue edged plates, and how to make the merchants fling in thread and buttons. "And now" says she, "Sal- Icy, l come to the most important part ot the matter, and that is to know how to pick good bluein', (indigo) there is great cheat in bluein' nowadays. and as you will need a good 'eal of bluein' about dyin' and washin', and it is al capital cure for worms in children, and you'll probably have some, hence the importance of knowing how to pick good blueln', the way to test good bluein' is a secret and you must not blab 1t to every one. First take al piece of bluein' about the size of a lump of chalk and drop it in some wa ter, and if it's good bluein' it will either sink or swim l have forgot which,"
