USEFUL RECEIPTS.

To MAKE Corn OYsTERs-Take three
dozen ears of large young Indian corn :;
SIX eggs; lard and butter in equal proper
tions for frying, The corn must be young
| and soft. Crate it from the cob as fine
as possible, and dredge it with wheat flour
Beat very light the eggs, and mix them
gradually with the corn. Then let the
whole be well incorporated by hard beat
ing. Add a spoon of salt.
Have ready, in frying pan, suffi.
cient quantity Of lard and fresh butter
mixed together. Set it over the fire till
1t is boiling hot, and then put in portions
OF the corn mixture, so as to form oval
cakes about three inches long, and nearly
an inch thick. Fry them brown, and
send them to the table hot. In taste
they will be found to resemble fried oys-
terS, and universally liked, if properly
done. They make nice side fishes at
dinner, and are very good at breakfast.
10 MAKE SUCCoTAsH.-Take one doz-
eli years Of swce. corn, cut otr the kernals,
and boil the coils in three pints Of water
wash one quart Of Lima, or other fresh
sheIed beans, and put them in the water
with the cobs -; scald one pound of salt
pork, and add it to the beans and cobs ;
let the whole boil together three quarters
OF an hour then take out the cobs, add the
Kernels OF corn previously cut from them,
and let the kernels, the beans and the
pork, boil together fifteen minutes when
done there should remain water ONLY suf
ticieut to keep then from burning in the
pot; serve the pork on flat, and the
succotash in deep dish.
Succotash is a favori:e dish in New
England some prefer it t.without the salt
pork; III that case. butter and salt must
be added when the succotash is dishet.
INDIAN MEAL DouGu Nurs.-A teacup
and half Of boiling milk, poured on two
teacups of sitted Indian meal. When i,
is cool, add tw" teacups of wheat flour
one teacup Of butter, one and half 0. su.
gar, one of yeast, and two eggs, with a
tablespoonful Of cinnamon, or grated
nutmeg.
If not sufficiently stiff, add equal por
tlons OF wheat and Indian meal. Let il
rise I'll! very light. Roll it about half an
inch thick, and cut into small! diamond
shaped cakes, and boil them in lard.
PRoTECTING DRIED FRUIr FROM WORMS
Place 1t in tin steamer, and set it over
kettle OF boiling water then cover i,
closeIy with several folds OF flannel O,
cotton, TO prevent the escape OF steam
1t should remain until thoroughly hea,ec
when II can be put into cotton or liner

ANGRY WORDS,

angry words. They thrill the nerves

our tempers, when irrtated by the bastv
language OF Others, and give the soft an.

Peraeeiy wicked, prone 20 sin as the sparks
10 lily upwards; and how true il is we
feei 1t every day and every hour. The
most tr'tiing circumstances, even a word,
or look, or tone, are sufficient to fill the
heart with anger, and the tongue, that
nnrpiy member, is ever ready to execute
fts prompungs, and word follows word in
quick succession, till we scarcely know
what we are saying. The sound Of our
own sharp tones excites us still more. and
fans the flame, which already burns fierce
~ within Our breasts. At length we are
exhausted by our own violence, the fires
OF anger gradually expire, and we become
cool and collected. In our hours Of soil.
tade, we reflect upon what was passed g,
and our brows flush with shame, as we
recall our passionate words we reproach
ourselves bitterly, and wish that we could
ooIlterate them; bat we cannot they
have sunk deep into the hearts of our
friends, and the memory of them rankies
painfully 10 our own. Angry words
they polnte the lips; they estrange friends
they bring selfreprouch to those who ut

they are addressed Then let us guard
ouF hearts against angry prssions, and
our lips against angry words. Let US
keep constant and vigiiant watch over our
tongues, the wounds Of Nhioh are sharper
