Vegetable Soups.

All vegetables that are put into soups. should
be put into cold water, and gradually brouoh,
up to the boiling point. This will cause the
vegetable to diffase its favor throughout the
whole mass. Irish potatoes should never be
put in soups, until first having been cut up in
not water /; this extracts their bitterness, and
renders them 81 70 mingle in tho other vege.

Look out for your ROys and Girls.

The Washington Sentinel, speaking of the re.
cent arrest, in Washington, of several lads, charged
with the crime Of incendlarism, says: The history
Of these boys shows the danger of permitting youths
to assemble, in~discrimina,ely, at al! hours of the
night, far away from parental oversight and control.
Whatever of mischief is lacking in the younger, the
older will not fail tosnpply; for in every condition
of life, morals are either improved or injured by in.
dividuaI association. How Oitendo we meet bands
of minikins on the streets, cursing and swearing
behind a homemade cigar. and who, whenever an
opportunity occurs, perpelrate ouirages either on
person or property"

UHe wore a fashy waistcoat, on the night
when first we met, with a famous pair of whis-
kers and imperial jet. His air had all the haught-
mess, his voice the manly tone of a gentleman
worth forty Thousand dollars, all his own. saw
but a moment, yet methinks I see him nov,
with a very fashy waistcoat, and a beaver on
his brow. And once again l saw that brow; no
neat beaver was there, but a shocking bad 'unD
was his hat, and matted was his hair. He had
worn a brick within his hat, the change was all
complete, and he was aanked by constables who
marched him up the street. saw him but a
moment,l methinks l see him now, charged by
the worthy officers with kicking up a row. :.

about, is want of moral courage. Thousands of
men may be picked up to face storm OF bullets
for the poor guerdon of a shilling a day. But
that is physical courage, equality existing in the
greatest force among the lower animals. Moral
courage is quite a different thing, and partakes of
the very highest of spirituality. The men who
would unconcernedly mount 'the deadly breach,n
though animated by a Consciousness of rectitude
and sense of duty, shrink from encountering the
paper pellets of nameIess paragraph writers and
pamphleteers. A somewhat Notifying feature
of the nineteenth century,"

DEPoPULATroS.-Ina certain township, not
a thousand miles from Evansville, we UNDER
stand that the work of depopulation has been
going on at q rapid rate for several years, and
until the original settlers, who could six years
ago, muster 80 or 100 voters, can scarcely
turn out a bakers dozen now. Their faith
full old Pastor, who had been some ten years
laboring in their gospel vineyard, started for
the land of better or worse spirits few
mouths ago, after short but painful illness
Of ''dsIirium tremeaS.'' His place has not
been supplied, nor indeed can it well be filled.
In about two years more, the process of de-
population that has been going on, will have
eradicoted sin from that benighted land, and
all of the old Pastors congregation, who don't
previously take leg-bai, will be found follow.
ing their lamented spiritual adviser to the
land of dreams.

| COMPLIMENTS TO THE PREsIDENT.-Ex-S SEN
ator Foote of Mississippi made the following
remarks in relation to the President in his re-
cent speech at Washington:
only friends will not charge the President
with bad motives. Let others Judge of the
motives-we know the acts. / don't think
he's a fool. | think he is a man OF keen
sense and nice discernment. God grant that
his once generous heart may open itself to
all the noble impulses of his nature. God
grant that he may see in time the mischief
into which he has plunged the people. God
grant that he may not sleep in the Prcsiden-
tial mansion as James the Second slept in the
monarchial palace of London, Till the popu-
lace drove him forth to some distant corner
of the land. This is my desire. have spo-
ken plainly about this matter. The Wilmot
Proviso is not settled-it will come upi in the
bill for the organization of the Nebraska
Territory during this session of Congress-
| dare to say that if the present course of pro.
ceedings be carried on till 1856 the election
will be carried on that question, and some
Free Soiler elected President, and that will
be the death blow Of the confederacy'
