BRIEF DIRECTIONS FOR PRESERVING FRESH
FRuIr.-Rhubarb or Pie Plant-Cut up tho
stalks without pealing. Strew with sugar, az
for pies, and seal up hot.
Cherries-Stew, with or without sugar, ten
minutes, and seal up boiling hot. NJ Most per.
sons seed them. No fruit is more easily kept
in this way than cherries, and none retains
the natural flavor more perfectly. Either
for pies or the tea.table they are delicious.
Gooseberries-Heat to boiling point, in
a preserving kettle, with sugar, say from half
pound to three quarters for each pound OF
fruit, and seal up hot.
Currants-Green, Same as gooseberriss
ripe, same as cherries.
Observation-Disclosures as strawberries.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES as cherries
Plums-Make a syrup, using from half to
three quarters of sugar for every pound Of
fruit. After taking off the skins, boil the
plums in this syrup for ten minutes, or until
the fruit is tender. Then fill the jars and
seal up hot. These are very fine.

A RIVER ADVENTURE.
4 MOTHER

In the summer of 1882 | was engaged,
with young man named Lyman Kemp, in
locating land lots along the Wabash, in lndi-
ana. l had gone out partly for my health,
and partly to accommodate one who had ever
been noble friend to me, aud who had pur-
chased great deal of government land At
Loganport he was taken sick, and after
watching with him week, in hopes that he
would soon recover, ] found that he had a
settled fever, and as the physician said he
would not probably be able to move on under
month, determined to push OH alone. So
| obtained a good nurse, aud having seen that
my friend would have everything necessary
to his comfort which money could procure,
left him.
As good fortune would have il, ! found a
party of six men bound on the very route !
was going, aud | waited one day for the sake
OF their company. At length we set out
with three pack horses to carry our luggage
and soon found iat had lost nothing by
waiting, for my companions were agreeable
and entertaining. They were going on tC
st. Josephs, where they had land already
located, and where they had mills upon the
| river, intending to get out lumber during the
| remainder Of the season.
On the third day from Loganport We
reached Walton's Fettlsment on the Little

Gussie to her Lover.


o, William dearest William by that love
you fondly gave
And l so lovingly returned, beg--implore
you-shave!
Yes, shave those red mustachios, those horrd
odous hairs,
Which make yonr face $50 handsome once,
now very like bears
You say they add fresh beauty 10 the human
face divine
They may do SO to others, they shrtly don't
to thine.
How can you think scrubbing- brush deep
tinted as the rose,
Gould give you new attractions, when stuck
beneath your nosel
really am ashamed of you, thought you
had more taste,
Than thus your precious time and still more
precious brains to waste;
For people say, and not without some truth
| think indeed,
Mustachois are the fruits which spring from
brains when run to seed.
Then shave them, William shave them-tis l
this favor ask;
l hate to see your handsome face quite hidden
by that mask;
hate to hear the people say, the moment
you're in view,
"Oh? look at his moustachios, Of the carrots
brightest hue p
Then by the love you bear me-and by mine
for you-l crave,
That you shave those horrid red things. Will
liam shave them-Oh! do shave!

"'The looked for days arrived at. last"
hear you say, my son
NO more the tardy weeks count,i
now am trenty-one."
II now am free to do, to choose!"
Then oh be wise, my boy
To choose the right reject the wrong,
you would life enjoy.
And what is more, "1m Free" you sey,

And help it sweli..t patriot band,
Who'd keep her honor bright"
And may it ever be thy pride
Her freedom to defend
From cruel shafts of treacherous foes,
Who would her glory rend?
And have so many years gone by!
1t is so long, my boy,
Since you, n little. stranger, came
And filled our hearts with joyP
Yes, joy was in our pleasant home,
For grateful hearts were there
For this dear treasure Heaven had lent,
For US to guard with care.
Lies morning sun shone brightly then,
The future promised joy;
How could think that time so soon
Would those bright dreams destroy!
But soon it brought afliction's rod,
And we were forced to bow
And by the cruel stroke we felt
Our very y.hope laid low
Yet why should | with sorrows tale,
Now blind your young hearts joy!
Enough, that sorrow, well you know,
Made you an orphan boy.
But he who heeds the fa,herless,
Has kindly led you on
Secure, through dangers thick were spreat
Till you are "twenty-one."
Now while your heart beats high with hor
Az you the future view,
Let gratitude find there place,
For all this love to you.
He speaks to-day-regard His voice
Choose Him your guide to be
Espouse His cause, and faithful prove,
Aud He'll prove true to thee
Then when life's pleasant morn is past,
Twill gild its setting sun
With heavenly rays, the happy choice
You made at twenty one"

A Lesson to a Scolding Mother.

A Lesson to a Scolding Mother.
A little girl who had witnessed the per
| plexity Of aher mother on certain occas;er
when her fortitud gave way under a severe
trial, said:
"Mother, does God ever fret or scod"
The query was so abrupt and startling il
arrested the mothers attention almost with 0
shock.
"Why Lizzie, what makes you ask that
question:
why, God is good-you know you used
| to call him the "Good Man" when ] was lit
tle--and l should like to know il he ever
scolded."
mo, child, No"
"Well, am glad ho don't; for scolding al.
ways makes me feel so bad, even if it is not
me in fault. don't think | could love God
much if be scolded."
The mother felt rebuked before her simple
child. Never had she heard go fo,cble lee.
tare on the evils Of scolding. The words oil
Lizzie sank deep in her heart, and she turn.
ed away from the innocent face of her little.
one to hide the tears that gathered in her
eyes. Children are quick observers; and
Lizzie seeing the effect Of her words, hasten
ed TO inquire:
why do you cry, dear mother? Was il
naughty for me TO ask you SO many .ques.
tons ?"
"No, love, it was all right. was only
thinking how bad had been TO scold so much
when my girl could hear and be troubled by
it,"
20, no, mamma, you are not bad you are
q good mamma; only | wish there wese not
so many bad things to make you fret and talk
like you did Just now. 1t makes me feel
away from you so far, as if | could not come
near YOU as | can when you smile and are
kind and O, | sometimes fear that | shall
be put off so very far that never can get
back again"
20, Lizzie, don't say that" said the mother
unable lenger 10 repress the tears that had
been struggling in her eyes. The child won
dered what could so affect its parent, but in
stinctively feeling it was case requiring
sympathy, she reached up and laid her little
arms about her dear mothers neck and whis.
pered:
mamma, dear, do make ycu cry! Dc
yon love me?'
90, yes, love you more than ] can tell,
replied the parent claspng the child to her
bosom. "And ! will try never to scold again
before my little sensitive girl"
20, am so glad. can get so near to you
when you don't scold and do You know mo-
ther. want to love you so much.'
This was an elIectual lesson, and the moth
er felt the force of that passage Of Scripture
"Out Of the mouths of babes have | ordained
strength" She never scolded again.

The grain harvest in Europe, according to

The vintage seems likely to rival the grain

years.
The crops in France promise a harvest OF

appearances. are not to be exempected from
the general prosperity.
The loss by the late freshet in Chemug
