The congregation Of church were
very much annoyed at the continual in,
toxication of their sexton; in fact, his
misconduct had reached such height
that he had been seen TO squeeze the
hands of several stout elderly females
when handing them out of ftheir carriages
and although said females had failed to
make any complaints, it was deemed ex-
pedient that the vestry should call the of.
fender to account Now, it so chanced
that the leading man in the vestry was a
certain wel-known physician, and he bav-
ing undertaken to reprimand the sexton,
animadverled upon his sin with great Sc
verify. The sexton listened until he got
through, but then exclaimed with great
indignation-"Sir. l thought that you
would have been the last man alive to be-
so hard again me, when I've been this
many year covering blHaderS Of yours!

Valuable Receipts.

To SETTLE CoFEEE.-In the absence
OF other things coffee may be settled by
mixing little corn meal with the ground
coffee, before boiling.
HoRsg DIsTEMPER.-This may be GU.
red by scratching or rubbing with your
fingers under the horses chops-always
scratching toward the nose.
BUTTER.-In churning cream. add a
lump Of butter TO the cream before com.
mencing. and the butter will come in
twothirds the time it would without.
To MAKE BLACKBoARDs.-An appliance
for blackboards can be made by boiling
ID. logwood in water enogh 10 cover it,
and adding half ounce Of green vitriol
This is superior to paint, as it stains the
wood and bears no gloss.
PASTE THAT is PAsTg.-Dissolve an
ounce Of alum in quart Of warm water
when cold, add as much -four as will
make it the consistence Of cream; then
strew into it as much powdered rosin as
will stand on shilling, and two or three
cloves; boil il TO consistence, stirring all
the time. 1t will keep for twelve months.
and when dry may be sohened with water.
APPLE JELLY.--W ash and cut the ap-
pies in two or three pieces. 10 see if
there be any worms in them, put them in
porcelain lined kettle. and cook until
the apples are done; take out and strain
the juice from them, and put them on the
stove again, and boil until they begin to
look dark; then add one third as much
sugar, by weight, and boil until they be
come jelly; put it INTO cups or lumblers,
and tie paper over the tops. This is ex'
cellent for making Jelly cakes.
Corn DoDcERs.--Somebody goes offin
perfect ecstacies over this theme. Corn
dodgers are the very things for hard times
Better and cheaper Than potatoes, and
good enough for princes. Here is the
way 10 make them:
The meal must not be 100 fne-it ain'l
a dodger, if it is. You must not chunk
'em about. and gingerbread 'em over
it amt dodger you do. Corn meal
white meal-salt and water, stirred up,
mixed up, fumbled up, three times as big
as hens egg, and baked with finger
marks all around, brown and crispy'
steaming hot. that's dodger. sir--Ken'
lucky dodger, Hard Times--Bad Pota-
toes--try 'em. try 'em.
low TO GET TO SLEEP.--The editor of
the Green Mountain Freeman says: "Let
the wakeiul person begin with 100, count
ing backward, as 100, SO, SO 81, &c.
But should 100 fail. let himtry two. three.
four, or five hundred, and we will ans er
for the success of the experiment in the
most hopeless case, The philosophy of
this is plain to US: this process,which can
not be carried on by rote, as counting
the usual way, requires just enough ol
the constant exertion ofthe mind 10 break
up the harrassing chair of thought and
attendant irritation Of feeling, which caus
es the wakefulnesS. but not enough TO in
dispose US to the sleeping we are coVeI-
ing"

Bernard Ami. q German, aged "a
complained at the Tombs Police, New
York, short time since, that his wife.
Ruth Ami, was deteined against her will
at the house Of Jane Eliza Mathews. in
Mercer street, a few doors above Broome.
The Magistrate asked how his wife came.
to be in Mrs. Malhews's house, and what
was her age.
Anni-O, she be young women---sex.
teen year old--shs be very nice young
CONAN.
Magistrate-She must be a very silly
one to have married an old man like you.
Well, how came she in Mrs. Mathswa's,
house.
Anni-She go dere herself to see her.
friend--she stay dere one, tree. four days,
and Madam no let her 20 way till she pay
ten, fourteen dollar--she locked up de-
room.
An officer was dispatched to summon
Mesdames Mathews and Ami to attend
forthwith at the Police Office. In due
lime they both arrived. Madam Math.
ews very Indignantly denied that she de-.
tanned Madame Ami. That LADY could
speak tor herself She preferred living
apart from the old man. and because she
( Madame Mathews) refused to let Ami
enter her house, he had made this com.
plant.
Anni--She tell me so-she tell me you
no let her go way.
Mrs. Mathews-well, that was an ex.
cuse TO get rid of you. She don't want
such an old togy about her.
Magistrate--I do not like this. The
old mans company may be quite as re.
putable as yours, Mrs. Mathews. ITO
Mrs. Anni.] My girl are you not visited
by gentlemen at Mrs. Mathews house2
Mrs. Anni-[a pretty blooming girl Of
sixteen, dropping her head dl--NO sir, no
gentlemen except the people Of the house.
Magistrate--Does your husband pre-,
vide you a homel
Mrs. Anni-Yes, he has place to live
but it is 50 filthy-ihey are such low
people | do not like 10 live there. II is
in Elizabeth street in a cellar.
Magistrate-What do you do for living
at Mrs. Mathews's.
Mrs. Anni-l sew for the lady. She
gives me home.
1t appeared from further enquiry, that
Mrs Ami was silly chamber maid liv.
ing in Walker street, near Elizabeth, who
had been persuaded to marry the old man
in consequence of certain presents given
her by that worthy; and that she had VOL
unfairly parted from him. The house
where she was staying was not known 10
police TO the be disrepulable, and the Mag.
istrate refused 10 interfere. The two Ia
dies quickly let in carriage which had
been waiting for them in Center street,
while the old German wrung his hands in
disappointment. The officers were obi.
ged TO lead him out of the Police Office,
so determined was he to get satisfaction
from The magistrate.

CURE FOR FELoNs.-Boil up in any iron
vessel of sufficient capacity (say four or
six quarts, enough yellow dock root to
make strong liquor when sufficiently
toiled, and while the liquor is as hot as
can be borne by the hand, cover the
kettle with flannel cloth TO keep in the
heat and steam. and hold the hand or
finger affected under the cloth and in the
