COMIC COOKERY.

Alexis Soyer has communicated the follow
ing recipes for camp cookery, 10 the Times
They cannot receive too much publicity:
To Boil Cabbage-Ii is necessary to pro-
cure a cabbage. Wash in cold wateer; which
throw down gutter, or outside tent if no
gutter is procurabe BE careful not 10 plash
irowsers, especially in frosty weather Stick a
two pionged fork boldly into the cabbages Ia
bayonei will do equally as wcll,) and plunge
ii into saucepan of water just at its boiling
poln'. When il has boiled iur eight minutes
twenty-five seconds. throw eleyen-ffieenths of a
tea spoonful of salt into the water. Let the
cabbage boil till it is thoroughly done. At
that moment be on the watch to take it out of
the saucepan (takiug care to avert the face from
the steam,) and place in ayegotnble dish. Put
the cover on, and serve up with roast beef,
ortolans, vension, picked pork, or whatever
may come handest An old hemlet will sup
ply the place Of a saucepan. CauliAowers
may be cooked in the same manner and, in
deed, most things.
To Fry Bacon.-Cut your bacon into long
strips or rashers. Wipe yonr frying-pan ont
with coarse towel, or lining of old dressing
gown. Then place it gently $50 as not to
knock the bottom oui) over brisk fire. Place
the rashers in, one by one. When they are
done on one side, turn them over to do on the
other. When they have attained rich brown
take them out and arrange on a dish, or slice
of bread, or any thing. Watch your rashes, so
that the sentinel outside don't get at them, and
eat when you feel inclined. The gravy may
be soPPed up from the fryiug-pan with crnmbs
of bread. If only biscuit is 10 be obtained,
use the fingers, which lick carefully. The
rnd may be preserved in the waistcoai pocket,
for sucking when on duty.
Roast Potlioes.-Put your potatoes under
the stove, and rake hot embers over them.-
While they are cooking, get as much butter as
the commissariat will allow you, and put il on
clean dish, or dirty one, with half sheet
of writing paper on it Cndeed. in an extreme
case, the writing paper will enable you to dis.
pease with the dish altogether) Take the
butter, but don't eat it all up until the potatoes
are done. Great care will be required for the
observance OF the latter regulation. Cot the
huuer into dice of from six 10 seyen-eights ola
cubic inch. When the potatoes are done, Gu,
them open and insert a dice of butter in each,
closing the potato rapidly to prevent evapora-
lipa, Eat with pepper and salt, or whatever
you can get.-Di0gGles.

Asa and Ira were two brothers, whose farm
lay side by side in fertile inter vale.
When the corn, the oats and the barley wor,
springing up, the weeds took advantage of the
. rich soil and came up with them.
DO you see,' said Asa, "what hold III,
weeds arc taking There is danger of their
choking out the crops entirely"
Well, well, we must be resigned, ;" replied
Ira; "weods as well as grain were a part of
the Creators plan. and there is no use in muir
muring about them"
Aud he laid down for his usual afternoon
doza
can only resign to what can't help, 50
said Ira. So he went to work aud ploughed
and hoed until his fields were clear Of weeds.
" The army worms are in the neighborhood, -
said Asa to Ira one day.
They have eaten. through the adjoining
meadows, and are moving towards US"
" All exclaimed Ira, they will surely
destroy what the weeds have not choked out
| will Immediately retire to pray that their
course may be stopped or turned aside'
But Asa replied, 81 pray betimes every
morning " the river is Using very fast There
is bat slender chance preventing our farms
from being oyeraowcd.n
Alas it is a Judgment upon us for onr
SINS and what can we do cried Ira, throw
ing himself in despair upon the ground
There are no judgements so severe rs
those which our oNp sloIh brings upon u.s."
replied Asa.
Ane he went quickly and hired workmen,
with whose help he raised an embankmeui that
the food while Ira witnessed with
blank looks aud folded hands the destruction Of
his harvest.
There is one consolation" said he, " my
children at least arc leit me-"
But while Asa's sous grew up strong and
virtuous men, among lra's there was a drunk
ard, gambler aud a suicide.
"The ways of the Lord are not equal"
complained Ira to his brother why are
you always prospered, while am afflicted,
md my old age disgraeed "
" only know this replied Asa, that
Heaven has always helped me to treat the faults
If my children as did the weeds, the cater
pillars and the flood and that have never
presumed to send petition upward without
making Toll, my righi-hand servant, the mes
enger ofmy prayer. Lucy Lqrcom

with the blood drawn from their last nights

''dumpy," cross and savage. One of them ran

other thrust out his sting and pointed towards

to the other, and says:

The answer was, " ran out my sting You

A PICTuRE OLE LEE.

A m'iden of some forty years standing, en-
tered complaint before Esquire Rowecamp, last
Saturday, against young man Of eighteen
summers, for an assault with intent to main -
The substance of the lady's evidence was that
the young man had been waiting upon her for
"some several weeks" and when, after she
thought he had been coming quite long enough
TO arrive at "the point" she ntimaied that his
ultimate wishes ought to be made known, he
became aggravated, and beside other ungentle-
manly acts, endeayored to bite her car.
The attorney for the accused, who, like many
others of his profession, never allows qallantry
to Interfere with the rights of his client, brush
ed up his hair and assumed position which
plainly told that he intended to put the witness
through scOrching examination.

look, so becoming lawyers of a lower degree

MISCELLANY.
SCHOOL ADVENTURE
"A COUSIN DONE FOR.
LFrom letter from boarding school NlI...l

tFrom letter from boarding school Mlissl
must tell you about an affair Of Emma II. s,
that happened last Saturday. A young man.
who had been paying some attention to her,
had agreed to come and pass off as her cousin
and take her out carriage-riding under the pre-
tence that he was taking her to his fathers, a
few miles in the country but his father does
not live within a hundred miles of this Well,
he came according to appointment, introduced
himself as Emma's cousin, aud asked to take
her home with him to spend the aiernoon.-
Miss W. said she had not the slightest objec-
ton, asked how far it was and in what direc-
zion, and told Emma 70 get ready and go. But
when Emma was ready to start, Miss w. also
came down ready dressed, and said that, as
their carriage was large CROUCH for three, she
would 60 along with them part of the way and
stop at friends, who lived a short distance
from The uncle that Emma was going to. sec,
and they might stop for her as they came back
In the evening. OF course they could do no
better than tell her they would be glad to have
her 90 with them, although they would have a
dull time with her along but they thought
they could make for it by having nico social
ride after Miss w. stopped at the friends.
Sc off they started in fine spirits, and when
they had gone three or four miles they began
10 expect that every house they came to would
be the one that Miss w. would stop at but
She did MT stop at any. Finally, when they
had gone some five or six miles, Miss w. said
she must have passed the house by some mis-
take, for they had certainly travelled twice as
far as it was from town but since they had
passed it, she would not trouble them to back
with her, but would 60 on with Emma to her
uncle's and stop just minute al her friends as
they came back. There was what you might
call "a fix, and Emma and her beau could do
nothing but drive on. So on they drove and
on they drove; but driving on did not drive
away their troubles. At last, when they had
gone eight or ten miles, he said that the road
must have been changed in some way, for he
had undoubtedly gone astray, and, as they had
gone so far, and it was drawing late, they
would not have time to find the right way.
So they came back to town, and when Miss
w. got out of the carriage she told EMS beau
that when he ascertained how the road had been
changed she would be very happy to 60 along
with Emma any Saturday to spend an after
noon at her uncle's. Since that we have seen
nothing of Ems cousin but it will be long
time before she hears of the last of her visit to
her uncle's.

a day, while horses will work Ten when they
arc kept principally on grain Yet this does
not decide the question against OK labor. Oxen
aio kept through the winter on cheaper food
than horses, and they are moro easily yoked
and unyokod One chain answers for two'oN-
en-, but four chains are wanted for two horres.
All the gearing for oxoh is less costly ihan that
for horscs--and its simplicity is such that an
Irshman may understand it,
Oxen are less liable to disease and are more
gentle than horses. Oxen well trained need no
driver in blowing and no leading reins. Two
yoke Of oxen are harnesscd and embarrassed as
soon as ono pair Of nurses. Oxen move more
slowly Than horses, aud this is 4 recommended
ton on oil rough and stony groupds. Finally
oxen make better beef than horses, and when
they accidentally break limb, the whole ami
NAL is saved.
Six pocks of wheat or ryo are usually sown
on an acre. Two and half bushels Of barley
and three Of oats. Barley is an uncertain crop
in this quarter, Of late years, and oats are
thought to draw hard on the soil. lIerds-grass,
clover and red-inp are the most popular grasses
to be sown with the spring grains. a mixture
Of all these, makes good hay, and we cannot
say when they may be superseded. When oil
are sown IN tie spiing, eight quarts Of herds
grass eight pounds Of clover and two or three
pecks of red-inp, according to its quality, per
acre. Some Of the seed lie light and chaay-
and whether more or less Of it should be sown
on this account, we leave il 10 others TO Judge.
Manurcs may be hauled from the barn in
April. When they are to be hauled 10 distant
fields and to lie a while before spreading,
dozen or twenty loads should be thrown Up in
pile four or five feet high. Here they will
soon fermeni. and il not permitted to heat too
much, they will become more fine, and 1t to be
incorporated with the soil. We think this is
a better course than to lay out tho manure in
small heaps, four or five to cart load. for small
heaps engendcr no internal heat, while the
whole surface is exposed 10 drying Winds
