Good Cookery not Necessarily
Expensive

Many people have the notion that
good cookery, that is, cookery which CON
sists in the manufacture of savory and
tempting food, is necessarily expensive
There cannot be greater mistake. Per-
sons well skilled in the art-we almost
say, science of cooking-as, for instance,
many of the French, will make Up most
palatable and nourishing dishes, from ma
terials which an unskillfal cook would cast
aside IS worthless. Hear what is said
OF French cook, in a recent number of
Household Words:
'Give NJ. Victor a few vegetables, any
meat-he is Indifferent what it is-and
little charcoal fire, and he will produce
for you most satisfactory and whole
some dinner. The materials which, in
England, would produce only the most
unpalpatable food, become, in his dex-
tIous hands, the foundations of little
dishes of the most various descriptions
Yet, M. Victor is not expensive. He
laughs at all be hears of English cookery,
and wonders how masters can support its
extravaganza. Surely, if the French mode
of managing cookery can do this, it is
worth inquiring into, and learning.
1.-THE English laborer's wife, on mod
crate calculation, throws away one third
Of her family food. She has no culinary
resources. 1t never enters her head to
turn every scrap of food, every scrap of
bone that comes within her reach, every
scrap of bread, to palpatable account
And then the teachings Of common
things, which has lately been talked OF,
should include, as most important
branch Of popular education, the econo-
nv Of the kitchen. Thereare more snowy
accomplishments than cooking; fair fin
gers may be seen to better advantage
than when partially buried in light
crust, but the light crust has something
to do with the light heart, and the kitchen
strongly influences the happiness of the
parlor."
This is exactly true. 1t would almost
appear as if people expected the art of
cooking to come to them Of itself, without
trouble on their parts. The daughter of
the working nan sees her mother boil
potatoes, make common pudding, or
cook meat in a rough sort Of way, and
she aspires to do no more; and SO from
generation to generation has it been; SO
that while all else has been improving,
the cooking art--if art it can be called
among the lower, and even among the
middle classes, has stood STILL Wsscon-
SIN Farmer.

And such tumult fills my brain;

So full that if l kneelto pray,

And l would not exchange this morn

The young day in some fairer CLINE.

STARLIGHT. Moonlight is beautiful,
and noon-day glorious, yet almost over
whelming with its power of dazzling light
and glowing hues. Sunset possesses a
melancholy and tranquilizing charm and
twilight is sweet and dreamhke. But
when the shadows have deepened into
night, and one by one the tremulous lamps
become visib in the cloudless dome above,
when silence deepens and the voice of ma
ture sinks in undisturbed repose-when
there is no moon to soften and to beautify
while it floods with light the dreamy land
scape-nought but the far off glorious
stars-then there is deeper solemnity,
much of earnest thought contempla-
ton that mingles past memories, present
experiences, and future hope, upon the
scene around. And hopefully the eye of
faith turns upward to those starry worlds,
perhaps the dwelling places of the hearts
dearly loved and lost to earth. All pure
and gentle feelings pervade the musing
soul in an hour like this. We love even
the forgetting ones who heed no more our
once welcome words. We forgive even
the bitter emnity that has unrelentingly
pursued us; and we refrain from all bitter
thoughts and angry feelings, for it seems
that angel watchers are above us, and the
influence of better worlds around.
Thoughts as solemn as the surrounding
stiffness, fraught with consultations sooth-
ing power, mingle with the subdued light
reflected from these distant isles of peace.
Moonlight with its identifying power, sun
shine with its joy-giving radiance, are
sweet when shared with others-our earth
companions. Starlight is beautiful enjoy
ed in silence and alone.

LIES VICITUDES. Twenty years ago a
htherless boy was placed ina third or fourth
rate country store @for his victuals and
Clothes" His cherry face and laughing
countenance, his accommodating disposition
and the alacrity with which he served his
customers, soon advanced him to better
store at dollar week extra, which he re-
gularly placed in the hand of his mother, to
aid, by marketing for others, to support her
little family. He now ships cargoes, for his
own vessels, but embarks in no important
enterprise without first consulting that mo-
Their still. s.A.4s --'sstas..z 1876
The son of IAN apple woman" we know
to be one Of the richest men in the United
States, and who accumulated his wealth by
his own activity and enterprise not by spe-
culation, but by legitimate commerce-by
honorable mercantile competition.
A stnice young man, ten years ago worth
fifty thousand dollars, who delighted in hor-
ses, hounds and hunting, married a young
lady of refinement and education; he is now
living in poverty, with that same wife and
small children, in a country village beyond
the Mississippi. 2.ss
GO Let us now 60 back to times long past
and see how history teaches the same lesson.
In 1777, Mr.. Hastings received the hum
BILE petition from. the Great Mogul for aid
against his enemies ten years later and Mr.
Hastings is on his knees in the House Of
Lords, and was obliged to give bail that he
would not run away.
In 1776, Lord North was Prime Minister
of England, the counsellor of Kings; ten
years later and it is recorded, ssLord North
was led out of Westminster Abbey by one
of his daughters"
Inl1777, there was smart active waiter
at country tavern; ten years later he was
nabob, baronet, a knight of the shire.
In lit, DR.. P. went to the gallery of the
House of Commons to hear Mr.. Pitts
speech. and was turned out; ten years later
and DR.. P. rose in his place in the House oil
Lords to defend dairyman, while Mr.. Pitt
stood in the bar below to hear him.
By such examples let young men learn
that attention, diligent, persevering, loving
attention to almost any of the useful callings
of human life, guarantees success, whether
in monarch or republic. whether under
Kings or Presidents. That to be good al
one thing is of itself eleyating. and aids tc
higher success. That what gives enduring
success is not family, name, nor wealth, nor
accident. nor position. nor even genius itself,
but it is steady. energetic following up Of
any one calling IN the love of it, nature and
the belief of its importance. And more
without this faith and affection, no man has
ever yet succeeded in any creditable occupa-
ton, nor do we believe ever will.
