BLACKBERRY WINE.-There is no wine
equal to ;e blackberry wine when properly
made either in flavor or for medical purpo-
Ses, and all persons who can conveniently do
SO. should manufacture enough for their own
'tSe every year, as it is invaluable in sickness
as tonic, and nothing is better remedy for
bowel diseases. We therefore give the re-
ccipt for making it, and having tried it our
selves, we speak advisedly on the subject -
Measure your berries and bruise them to
every gallon adding one quart of boiling
water. Let the mixture stand twenty. four
hours, stirring occasionally then strain of
the liquor into cask, to every gallon adding
two pounds of sugar; cork tight, and let it
stand till the following October, and you will
have wine ready for use, without farther
straining or boiling, that will make lips
smack as they never smacked under similar
influence before

Stray THOUGHTS.

Nellie was a smiling creature,
Pure in thought and deed, was she
Nature seemed her only teacher,
Gentle, loving, Nellie Lee.
Nellie was my guiding spirit,
Smiles and tears alike to me,
Were too sacred to inherit
From my constant Nellie Lee.
Nellie was the star that twinkled
Brightly DER lite's troubl'd sea,
Smooth d the brow that sorrow wrinkled,
Gentle, loving, Nellie Lee.
Nelie's was the laugh that ever
Filld my weeping heart with glee;
Years have pass'd, but time can never
Steal the smile Of Nellie Lee.
Nellie, fondly still lingcr
Der my childish love for thee;
Memory points her time-worn finger
To thy grave, pure Nellie Lee.
Nellie, in thy home in heaven,
Keep little place for me-
Living, dying, love once given,
Meier shall leave my Nellie Lee
Nellie, then, when death is clinging
Round my heart, the soul will flee
To our Father, tondly singing
Praise to Him, with Nellie Lee.
