Friendship, pure and unalloyed,
We have lis spirit yet:
Though months and years have pass'd Miss,
Since YOU and have met;
And though indeed space may divide
Two loving hearts like ours
II cannot crush by all its weight
Affections gentle flowers.
Pure friendships feelings true and fraud
All who need yet be told: =,
No other links can bind the heart
Like those loved links Of old !;
And thy dear hand | grasp'd in youth,
The touch Of age may show:
Yet It's the same true hearty grasp
loved so long, SO long, ago.

The HONEY MANS ADvocATE-Is the title OF the
very latest edition Of new paper that we have seen.
Ii is issued by n. B. Harris No. ~ South Water st.
Philadelphia, advertisement Of his business.
He is the hominy man; but as we are an equal adj
yocate with him for the use OF homisy we give him
the benefit Of this advertisement not 10 benefit him.
but the public. We know the value Of the article as
economical palatable, wholesome, nutrcious food;
and wish could induce every one Of our readers
to Try it, es we do every morning for breakfast. HON.
my is coming more and more into use in this City
every year but not half as much as it would If better
known, and particularly if our cooks knew how to
prepare il. Nothing can be more simple, and that
perhaps is the reason because it is simple nobody
can understand it. We give the formula:
Wash the hominy if you think you must-though
should think Of washing -four before using
itsnd put it in soak in three times as much water as
you wish to cook Of homny, and ret it where it will
become little warm. 1t should coax at least twelve
hours. Boil it in the same water in porcelain lined
kettle until it is SOFT ,till leaving each grain quite
whole Be very careful to keep sufficient water in the
Kettle 10 prevent the from stickng or il will
burn. When done, all the water will be absorbed.
Never add salt, or butter, or meat to the hominy
while cooking. Season ii after il is done, or leave
every one to add SALT sugar, butter or meat gravy to
bis liking.
In the paper before US there Is a graphic re3.o-
sentstion Of the original way of making hominy-
an old negro with wooden mertar and pestle-in
contrast with an improved machne-a shaft armed
with files, steam-dhven, inside of cylinder whore
the corn is entirely freed Of the bulls.
In this City, the article thus made ia called samp,
though very erroneously; and the name Of hominy
only given to the product Of grinding mill, which
cracks the corn which is afterward wnnowed of the
bulls, and sifted into different degrees Of coarseness

The method by which the middle class effect

The moment weak point in the old aristocra'lc
citadel is disclosed lAe London TINES, the
"Thunderer," opens its terrible FIRE; the minor
London papers, daily and weekly, Of liberal
stripe. join the fray; the provincial papers
which are mere echoes Of the London press, fail
into rank and, from Dover to Belfast the mat
ter in question forms a topic Of conversation
among the reading class. Thus, owing to the in
fuence and widely difdsed circulation OF the
METROPOLITAN press, The Tines can at any tine
gather into focus tremendous power Of con-
centrated public opinion, such as is in most cases
irresistible This is the mysterious fourth estate,
called s'Public Opinion" in Great Britain,
which acts upon the three constitutional estates
of the realm and the executive authorities as an
impelnQ and controlling force in much the sane
way as the Jacobin Clubs acted upon the Con-
stituent aud Legislative Assemblies of France in
the last century. The instrument forged for this
primary purpose lie, however, adapted for very
various social and ethical applications. Thus:
poor Mr.. Garden, the Tipperary squire, who
spent so many thousand pounds in preparations
for abductng Miss Arbuthnot and failed in the
attempt, brought himself within the range OF
this ready .primed battery, and bis name be-
came instantaneously famous throughout the
confines Of the civilized world. Now, at
fret sight it appears strange that breach of good
msnners, as was Lieut.. Perrys case, or even
Tipperary abduction affair, should create so much
disturbance as to attract not only the national
attention of the British Isles, but be waited far
apdwide wherever the English lsnguagei is spoken.
When, however, we comprehend that each Of
these events are steps in the progress of great
ethical revolution the phenomenon is explained,
and such cases acquire at once Fictitious i'm
pcrtance that they do not intrinscally merit. In
fact as long as the middle class act abnormally
aud indirectly through the aristocracy, they must
do everything Nth ca .fort. In the sphere OF
politics they could not get the Reform bill or the
repeal of the Corn Laws without violent sgts'
tion-so in the sphere of ethics, so long as they
are content to act through organs not their own
so lorg as they have to impose upon persons in
high places modes of thought and line OF con-
duet and duty foreign to those authori lies, they
cannot quietly let things take their course, but
win constantly be driven to interfere with loud
voiced protest and cutlery.
