A Peep in to a Salad Bowl.

"My dear learned friend" said the Doctor "a Bowl of Lettuce is the Venus of the dinner table It rises on the sight cool, moist, and beautiful, like that very imprudent lady com ing out of the water, sir And to complete the image, neither must be dressed too much p
 When Dr.. Bushwhacker had issued this observation, he drew himself up in a very porty manner, as if he felt called upon to de- tend himself as we'll as his image. Then, af- ter short pause, he broke-silence.
 Lactnca, or lettuce, is one of the most common vegetables in the world it has been known, sir, from time immemoral it was as common, sir, on the tables of the ancients as it is now, and was eaten in the same way, sir, dressed with oil and vinegar.
 "Now, sir, there is one thing the ancients did with lettuce which we do not do: They boiled it sir, and served it up like asparagus :: so too, did they with cucumbers-a couple of indigestible dishes they were, no doubt. Let tuce, my dear friend, should have a quick growth, in the first place, to be good it should have rich mould, sir, that it may spring up quickly so as to be tender and crisp. Then, sir, it should be new-placked, carried from the garden few minutes before it is placed upon the table. 1 would suggest parasol sir, to keep the leaves COOL untli It reaches the shadows of within doors Then, sir, it must be washed-mind you, ice-water Then place it upon the tabie-What Corlnthi- an ornament more perfect and symetrical Now, sir, comes the important part; the dres- sing 'To dress salad,' says the learned Petrus Petronius, you must have a prodigal to furnish the oi a counsellor to dispense the salt miser to dole out the vinegar, and a madman to stir it.

WoMANLY ACCoMPL1sHMENTs-A recent
 English publication on the science of bread making, states that in the County of Suffolk;
 England, every woman knows how to make bread and, in the town of Bury, which has GO, 900 inhabitants, there are but two public bakeries. These facts will surprise our own countrywomen, few of whom, we fear know any thing more of the art of makiug bread than they do about making watches. We do not know how many noble ladies there may be in the County of Suffolk but there are, proba- bly,, good many who wear titles, and who hn- long to the upper crust of society. It is ccr-
 tainly greatly to the credit of the women of
 England that there are so many of them who coud if it were necessary, make the family bread, ard prepare the hot rolls for their hus- bands breakfasts Bread-making is not one
 of the accomplishments which American women think it necessary for them to be acquainted
 with every parlor has piano, but very few kitchens have an oven and 1t would be aS diff icut to find an American woman who did not understand the use of one, as to find one who did not know how to use the other But it is not altogether the fault of our ladies that they cannot, and do not understand the art of mak-
 ing bread. ln the country every family must
 bake its own bread, but it is questionable econ-
 omy to keep private bakery in the City. It is not the economy of breadmaking which
 makes it so desirable that every woman should
 understand the art, but because it shows .
 familiarity with domestic affairs which is heces-
 sary to the economy and comfort of every house. hold The daughter of merchant residing in
 a certain city, the name of which it is not at all necessary we should mention, lately remarked in confidence to her next friend that she did not see any advantage in having a millionaire for father, since she had to work four hours every day at her piano The hard case of this unhappy young lady is by no means solitary one; and there is no doubt that there are Q great many daughters of millionares who would be very glad to change the slavery of the piano for an hour or two of recreation in the kitchen, and to whom bread making would be delight compared with the labor of learning music. We would not be understood as objecting to the piano, but change from that instrument to the kneading trough, would not be at all injurious to the character of our young ladies' In Mrs. GAsKELLs biography of Charlotte Brontc, there is very brett, picture drawn from real life, representing that heroic and ac- complished girl, the author of Wutherthg Heights, engaged in kneading bread while she studied the German Grammar open before her. Domestic misery, from the misery of do- mestics, is now the rule in the majority of American fatnies but this would not be tho case if there were more of our countrywomen who understood the art of bread-making, like the ladies of Suffolk or who studied their grammars with their delicate hands in tho kueading-trough, like the gentle CHARLOTTE BRoNTE.

The Blind Girl.

l saw blind girl sitting once Beneath tree alone,- Her knitting work beside her lay Upon the messy stone; And she was singing merrily A glad old song of morn, Of birds among green branches hid, And reapers in the corn; Of lilies bearing golden cups
 As offerings to the sun; Of pearly dewdrnps in the grass, Of webs which spiders spun; Sometimes in notes that loudly rang, And then were warbled through, As if she loved the greenwood side, And all the fowIets knew. At length, as silently she sat And unused in penslve way, l ventured softly to her side
 And thanked her for the lay. But" said 1, when the sunbeams fall, And thou art thus alone. Surely the night time and the day
 Must be to thee as one." "Ah, ne 7" she quickly made response, "Why should they be as one? When morning time full well know, And when the noon will come: And too of cheerful even-,de,
 And of the lonely night; Think not Pm blind to Gods bright worl. Although have no sight. |" At earliest morn hear the birds, The stirring of the leaves, hot onI, Beneath the shel,ering caves; And throwing wide the curtains fold Sweeps in the balmy air, Kissing all lightly neck and cheek, And tossing back my hair. |" I scent the roses down the walk, hear the rus,Iing grass; My brothers starting for lhe school, The mowers as they pass; And thousands are the chimes that call From blossom, and from tree; And happy am 1, tho the morn
 hear, but cannot see. When noon-:ime comes the cattle pass Along the orchard lane, Or finger stamping in the brook That floods the marshy plain; And if Em setting here alone,
 To hide him from the heat My dog, Old Sailor, panlng comes And stretches at my feet. "Thc oxen, too, with rafting yoke Stand lowing by the gate; The horse from off tho blow unloosed Neiohs loudly for his mate. And then listen on the walk,
 Or leave the gate behind To meet my father, who I'm sure Remembers not Pm blind. "No dia's face or turning glass
 l need at set of day; The robin singeth loudest then, The cattle homeward stray; hear the children's merry laugh; And soon the insects call And evening always makes me feel
 How good is God 10 all. " At evening, too, my father reads The tale of Christ to me, Who healed the man with palsied limbs And made the blind to see; A tear Is sometime on my cheek,
 Yet inward peace gain; see Him weeping at the tomb
 And walking on the main. |" cannot say do not gtieve
 Because have no sight; Bu, deep within my bosom glows thought of coming light; God give me patience, Is my prayer Whene'r bend my knee : Now take my hand, nor say again The blind girl cannot see.
