out, dip them ia cold water, and boil them
in the coloring liquer for about Eve minutes
longer, and they viii be colored Now take
them out, wash them in cold water, and they
are finished. Half an ounce Of good cochin

one fourth Of an ounce of cream Of tartar, and
a snail thin blcfull Of the mGriate of tin, OF,

= Discreet CLERGYNAS.-A Boston corres-
pondent of the Salem Gazette relates the fol.
lowing anecdcte:
At the house of an eminent though not
aged ID ID. in Boston, there was visiting a lady
of brilliancy and Accomplishment a carriage
drive before dinner was proposed for the cler-
gyman, bis wife, and the lady guest. Tho
wife OF the clergyman was prevented from
being one of the party, aud a chaise ride for
the clergyman and the strange lady was con-
cluded on whereupon, by direction Of the
clergyman, two chsises drove up at the sp-
pointed hour, into the hinder one Of which the
clergyman seated the lady, aud handed her
the reins, and then took his seat in the for
ward one; and thus in grave procession the
two chaises proceeded, each with its single
occupant. through the streets of this and q
neighboring city, till they reached the open
country, and after a short and very refresh
ing drive, returned to the clergyman's house
in the same demure and dunimpeachsbleo order.
Suffice it, that such a careful minister in O
long pastorate does not incur reproaeh Of a
certain kind"

A RAT STORY Not long since, in an intel
ligont family residing in Hampshire county.
a singular circumstance occurred. About ten
o'clock every evening, just before the family
retired, strange and unsccountshle sound
would lie heard. At first, it was not thought
much of, it being attributed to the snoring
OF some member Cf the family who had retired
earlier than these who heard the noise. But
on investigation this did not account for the
disturbance. Copjectures of spirit rappings
ani ether unearthly causes were rife, and
the greatest alarm and fear was produced on
the younger and female members Of the family,
as night after night they heard this buIzing,
roaring sound The father and eldest son
determined that they would know the cause
of this strange noise.
Accordingly, on the next night they await
ed the repetition of the phenomenon; when
near witching time Of night, the ominous
sound was again heard. With great care and
caution they ascended the staircase, the
sound growing louder as they advanced.
Passing up the second fight and locking into
the gsrret, they beheld the great spinning
wheel which was stored there whirlipg with
great velocity. Watching the wheel closely,
they observed on the inside the rim Lavge
rat, performing la squirrel. But ratty's
sport was Of short duration; for pussy being
introduced, soon appropriated master rat 70
her own use.-MILford Journal.
