EFFECTS OF HEAT UPON MEAT

a well cooked piece OF meat should be full
OF its own juice or natural gravy. In roast
ing, therefore it should be exposed to a quick
fire, that the external surface may be made
to contract at once, and the albumen TO CO.
agulate, before the juice has had time to es-
cape from within. And SO in boiling. JVhen
a piece of beef or mutton is plunged into boil
ing water, the outer part contracts. the albu-
man which is near the surface coagulates.
and the internal juice is prevented either from
escaping into the water 10y which it is sur
rounded, or from being diluted or weakened
by the admission OF water among it, IFhen
cut up the meat yields much gravy and it is
rich in flavor. Hence beei.steak or NUT
ton chop is done quickly, over quick fire,
that the natural juices may be retained. On
the other hand, if the meat be exposed to
slow fire, its pores remain open, the juice
continues to flow from within. as it has Cried
from the surface, and the flesh pines, and be-
comes dry, hard, and unsavory. Or if it be
pnt in cold or tepid water, which is gradually
brought to a boil, much of the albumen is ex-
tracted before it coagulates, the natural jul
ces for the most part flow out, and the meat
is served in nearly tastelesS state. Hence
to prepare good boil d meat it should be put
into water already brought to boil. But to
make beef-tea. mutton broth, aud other meat
soups, the flesh should be put into cold water
and this afterwards very slowly warmed. and
finally boiled. The advantage derived from
simmering Il term not unirecuent in cookery
books, depends very much upon the effects OF
slow boiling as above explained

g. UMBERIAND

Inflicted by Hastings and Give;
Nor the pirate French in their bloody war
On fair Algerias sandy shore,
And the women and children twenty score
Pellissier roasted alive.
We turn to our own dear land with pride
Where plenty smiles upon every side,
And where health is rcigning far and wide
And peace sits on every hand;
We have nought to fear from foreign foes,
As yet unharmed by domestic woes,
With pleasure we watch the dying throes
OF the empires of foreign-land.
Beneath prosperity's golden beam
We quietly glide on Times broad stream
And all the blessings of Providence seem
Upon our happy cline shower'd down;
Our course is upward and onward still;
In our action prompt, in our iron will
Our glorious destiny we'll fulfill,
With freedom the whole world to crown.
And now q very HAPPY New YEAR,
With every blessing and every cheer
That God can send to his creatures here
The newsboy wishes our patrons kind;
He has no New Year present to make,
But never objects to a good ".fdt take"
And is glad to pick up for his labors sake,
Any good quoign he may happen to find.

AMERICAN WINES,

The Augusta Constitutionalist publishes
letter from Hon. Mark A Cooper, a gentle.
man with whom we have for years held an
intimate acquaintance, giving an account of
a recent visit to the vineyards of DIR. Ander-
son and others, in Wilkes county, Georgia.
The vineyards were planted from the slip in
the spring of 1853, and now produce grapes
of the most admirable quality. He says:
each vine has on an average forty-fye
clusters Of The very largest size, the favor
of which surpasses anpthing / have known.
The vineyard was an experiment of one-fourih
of an acre, with setting Of 250 vines per
quarter, or 1000 to the acre. Owing to dry
weather only l30 lived and are in bearing
l am not premature in conjecture that in ten
years more the vines of Georgia will meet
those OF France at our Atlantic ports and
soon thereafter they will make good the COM
petition by going to European markets. so
that what has just been achieved by our -four
mills and farmers will also be effected by her
vineyards and wine presses"
We have not doubt that the predictions
of the Hon. Mr.. Cooper will be realized in
less time than he anticipates in his letter.
There is no country in the world more sus.
ceptible to the culture of the vine than Geor-
| gia, Alabama, Mississippi and large portion
of South Carolina. We venture to predict
that, within twenty years, the United States
will supply Europe with wine superior to
champagne. Mercury.
We regard the culture Of the grape, as Q
work Of philanthrophy, and rejoice to heal
that the beautiful and profitable employment
Of cultivating the vine, is rapidly spreading
from State, to State. 1t is the true way Il
make us temperate, genial and Cheerful
hearted people.

Beaumont's Type-Distributing Machine is
in operation in New York, and is thought to
gIye evidence Of decided practical utility in
large printing establishments. Each machine
will distribute but one size of type, but yet
may be SO constructed as 10 be easily adopted
to the different sizes of small type. If worked
by hand, one man or boy can distribute twelve
thousand ems per hour, and with scarce o
possibility of an error Of single type where
as, by the usual process Of distribution by
hand, three thousand ems are about the aver
age. The machine can be worked by steam
and one man can then attend to three Of
them, making the total distribution in an hour
$4,000 ems.

CARRIERS ADDRESS
TO THE PATRONS OF THE
'smbmtp Ameritm,
JANUARY l, 1856.
THE

HuRRAH, HuRRAH FOR THE GLAD New YEAR!
The old years dead; we've followed his bier,
We have cast his body, without tear
TO the fathomless grave of ages,
With him have passed to the cold dark
tomb
Many who welcomed his spring time bloom,
The old and the young have met their doom,
From driviling fools to sages.
Death has been busy on sea and land,
He hath swept the earth with wrathful hand,
With fell disease and with wars red brand
He has brought his millions low;
With the fever patients dying sigh,
The fierce and angry battle cry
And the wounded soldiers agony
His hungry ear has been fed, you know.
The news of the bloody eastern war
Each steamer brings weekly to our shore
And leave weekly at your door
TO be read by you at your leisure.
How the Russ and Frank and Briton Gght,
Not for defence or God or right,
But to decide by arms and might
A very different measure;
A Turkey is cooking and almost done,
| And three mighty nations have begun
| With army and fleet, with sword and gun
| To fight for the chance of carving,
They have drafted and hurried the men TO
arms
From factory, workshop, mines and farms,
Till they find in the midst of wars alarms
Their people at home are starving.
Now we look on this murderous muss
AS thing got up by the greedy Russ
Who, Mose-likc, was dying for fuss,
And we care not fig who fails
We're glad when John Bull gives the Rus
sian "rats"
We're glad when the Russ returns the bats
And hope, that like the Kilkenny cats,
1'here'll be nothing left but their tails.
We Yankees now cannot say one word,
Because these three are so fond of the bird,
When we are SO fond, as they all have heard
OF the lovely Queen of Antilles;
We have long been attracted by her charms
We've wooed her long TO our loving arms,
And we will yet teach her mid wars alarms
There's way wherever the will is.
All nations are thieves in wholesale way,
They plunder with armies by light of day,
Any weaker power they think will pay
And they call it annexation;
If we call acts by their proper names
We Will find these diplomatic games
In spite Of the very lofty aims
Are but robberies by a nation.
We cant complain that the grredy Gar,
/ Is trying to urge his claims too far,
, Lest be should put in as plea in bar
Our own fllibustering schemes;
And tell US he quietly closed his eyes
While we won our California prize
| And never attempted to make us rise
, From our glorious Cuban dreams.
! Nor can be forget in times like these
The wrongs OF timid Bengslees,
The outrsees on the Hindostsnses,
