PIcKLED EGGs.-In the counties Of
Hants and Dorset, picked eggs con-
stitute very prominent feature in the
farmhouse and store-rooms, insomuch
that they would be considered by the
industrious housewife but Indifferent
ly furnished without them. The mode
in which the good danes pickle them
is simply thus: At the season of the
year when their stock Of eggs is plen-
tiful, they cause some four or six doz-
en- to be boiled in capacious sauce
pan until they become quite hard
They then, after removing the shells,
lay them carefully in large-mouthed
jars, and pour over them scalding vim
egar, well seasoned with whole pepper:
allspice, few races Of ginger, and a
few cloves of garlic. When cold they
are bunged down close, and in g
month are fit for use. When eggs are
plentiful, the above pickle is by nc
means expensive, and as an acetic &C.
Compartment to cold meat, it cannot
be excelled.

Chan1e of Feed for Horses

Change Of Feed for Horses.-The
kind of food for animals should be
changed frequently. A horse, long
kept on shorts, will be affected by a
fever in his legs and feet, producing a
result similar to founder. Shorts,
corn meal, or cob meal, should never
be given, except in mixed state with
cut hay, or straw. This will require
them to eat slower, and the food is
better prepared for digestion. If CIV
en- alone, it ferments rapidly in the
stomach, produces general fever, in
jures the digestive powers, and finally
produces stiffness throughout the
limbs. When these results are dis
covered, the remedy iss change of
food Continued feeding on oats,
alone, will produce the same results as
shorts, or meal; and many a founder
is caused by it as well as by feed
ing, or drinking when the horse is
warm. If necessity compels person
to feed a horse on shorts, corn meal,
oat meal, or cob meal, supply of salt
should be added to prevent fermenta-
ton In the. Stomach.-OM'o Farmer.

The Dl9erence.-Bntchers usually
kill their victims before dressing them.
Mothers frequently dress before kill
ing them. We noticed an innocent
little girl of about Eve years in the
street yesterday, dressed and pinched
within an inch of her life. For health
aud comfort, she might about as well
have been in the embrace of young
anaconda. But then, though. the
pattern was scant, it was a love of a
pattern, and the little creature wore a
butterfy's- wing upon her head, and
of course it was all right, and she
was darling. How would one manage
to have a game of romps, do you
think, with such an atomy of silk,
lace and ribbons? One might as well
try to romp with a fancy show case.
They have passed a law and very
good one it is, to protect quails. We
want an other-a law to protect chill
dren. If they are afraid the race Of
quails will be destroyed, what are we
to say of children? Why there are
places in this land of ours, where one
can see five hundred epitomes of
humanity, without seeing single
specimen of an old fashioned red
checked, checked-apron child.

LIQUID GLUE.-A strong liquid glue,
that will keep for years without chang
ing, may be made by placing in a
glazed vessel, quart of water, and
about three pounds of hard glue
This is to be melted over a gentle fire
in glle-pot, and stirred up occasion
ally. When all the glue is melted,
drop in gradually small quantity Of
nitric acid, when effervescence will
take place. The vessel is then to be
taken off the fire and allowed to cool.
Liquid glue made in this manner, has
been kept for more than two years in
an,uncorkedbottle without any change.
1t will be useful for many trades,
where strong glue is required, with
out the trouble of melting.

The NECESSITY OF AN HEREAFTER.-
A certain preacher of Universalism
had been preaching in a country school
house for several Slbbaths, to- con-
vince the people that there was no
hell. At length it was announced
that at his next meeting a collection
would be taken for his benefit. The
day arrived, and the collection was. Ia
ken up in a hat. When the deaconhad
passed through the congregation, and
given all an opportunity to contribute,
he returned to the desk and gravely
emptied tie contents of the hat upon
the desk before the preacher. And

MRssRs EDITORS The communication in
your paper of Jan. Sd, signed 81. NJ" makes
reference to me, as the person, not fireman,
that called upon him and solicited his sigma
ture to petition praying the City Council of
1854 not to re- elect B. E. Hutchinson on tie
Board of Engineers of the Worcester Fire De-
partment. The facts are these. did, in COM
pany with Henry Basnard of Engine Co. No.
l, call on John Mason with such petition
and asked him to signit. He thought at first,
he had better not, since the Company had
voted to sustain the old Board. We told him
our petition only asked for the removal Of one
member Of the Board; and that majority of
the Company would sign it (Which is true)
He said if that was the case he would sign it,
for he did not like Ben. Hutchinson better
than we did, and would go with the majority
of the Company.
That we made charges against B. E. Hutch
inson, and said we could and would prove
them, therefore inducing him Gas he says,) to
sign the petition,-is false, and believe is
wilful lie. l deny ever doing anything to
mar the harmony of the Fire Department, and
hope l shall have the privilege of serving the
city, as fireman, next year, under new and
efficient Board of Engineers.
