CURING HAMs.-Of the many receipts for
cooking, preserving and curing the various
articles of household use, found floating a
bout in the newspapers. we always regard
those from the Scientific american as most
worthy of acceptance. We give one below,
which will be found servicable in few
weeks more. when ''killing time, comes.
If anybody has better receipt for touring
hams,' we shall be glad TO receive it, and
publish it for the good of the public:
LAS the time is at hand for preparing
these useful stores Of rich and savory food a
few words will not be out Of place in regard
to them. The legs of hogs, short in the
hook, are best for hams and should be
chosen in preference to lanky hogs. They
may be salted by immersion in a clean pic
kle, containing little sugar and saltpetre
dissolved, or they may be salted by rubbing
ground solar evaporated salt over them,
turning every day, and giving them a good
rubbing. A little sugar and ground black
pepper added to the salt will much improve
the flavor of the meat. It requires about
month to salt hams by the wet process, and
three weeks by the dry system. At the
end Of this period they should be hung up a
few days to drip, and then they are ready
for smoking, SO as to secure sweet flavor.
Whatever fuel is used for this purpose, one
condition should never be overlooked: it
it should be perfectly dry, or else it will DC be
liable to impart bitter taste to the meat.
Dry corn cobs, and some dry sweet hay are
superior to all other agents that we have
employed for smoking beef and hams
Mutton hams may be prepared in the same
manner as those of pork, and they are ex
ceedingly palatable when the meat is good,
and care exercised to smoke them slowly"

LIGHT OF HOME.

g
! The light at home ! how bright it beams
When evening shades around us fall,
And from the lattice far it CLEANS,
To love, and rest, and comfort all
When wearied with the tolls of day,
And strife for glory or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where lovinn lips will lisp our name,
Around the light at home
? When through the dark and stormy night
The wayward wanderer homeward flies,
How cheering is that twinkling light,
Which through the forest gloom he spies
q 81 is the light at home! He feels
That loving hearts will greet him there,
And softly through his bosom steals
The Joy and love that Danish care,
Around the light at home.
The light at home how still and sweet
.s It peeps from yonder cottage door,
e The weary laborer to greet,
When the rough tolls of day are DER.
4 Sad is the soul that does not know as.
ssz The blessings that the beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
: s And Tighten up the heaviest heart
~ Around the light at home.

CONVERTING THE DEv1L-A Mrs. HI. F.
NJ. Brown has been lectnring on Spiritual
ism in Cincinnati, and in answering objec-
tions that the manifestations came not
from good spirit, but from an evil spirit !;
she is reported to have said
''She did not care if they did come from
the Devil-that was really no ground of OBJ
lection to them, but if the Devil did COM
municate such beautiful things us came to
US through spiritual media, it was an evi-
dence that his Santanic majecty was repent
ing OF his evil. and trying to get back to the
heaven from which he had fallen. She had
studied the history of the Devil carefully,
found from the Bible, the Shaster, and 9TH
er sources that after his fall he had been
confined in a deep pit, as dark as tar /; but
after years the earth was created, and some
of the angels plying him, said to the Deity,
there the poor Devil has been down in this
dark pit SO many years, why may we not
let him loose upon the earth, which is emp
typ It was accordingly done, and the
Devil became better in his new home, and
had gone on improving with the improve
ment Of the world, until now it was natural
to see him trying to reach a higher sphere,
by teaching these beautiful truths through
Spiritual media"
