OUR RECEIPT FOR CURING BEEF AND
PORK.

. This receipt, which originated with us and
has now had many years of trial, we believe to
be unsurpassed as pickle. Nearly all the mod
ern receipts which have appeared in the differ
ent agricultural journals, and worth anything,
partake, in some instances almost identically of
the ingredients and proportions set forth in
OURS, which we first printed some fifteen or
eighteen years ago. Some of the receipts lately
published, required a large amount of labor,
and are not to be recommended. At this peri
cd in the season, when farmers and others will
soon be putting down their winters and we
may add, their next years supply of meat, it
may be of service to republishs the receipt,
which is as follows: To one gallon of water,
take Ii lbs. of salt, LIB. brown sugar,3 OF. salt
petre, ] OF. potash. In this ratio the pickle to
be increased to any quantity desired.
Let these be boiled together ~until-al the
dirt from the salt and sugar rises to the top
and is skinned off. Then throw the pickle into
a large tub to cool, and when cold, pour it over
your beef or pork, to remain the usual time;
say from four to six weeks, according to the
size of the pieces, and the kind of meat. The
meat must be we'll covered with the pickle,
and it should not be put down for at Least two
days after killing, during which time it should
be slightly sprinkled with powdered salt
petre.
Several of our friends have omitted the
boiling of the pickle, and found it to answer
equally as well. 1t will not, however, answer
quite SO well. By boiling the pickle, it is
purJfed-for the amount of dirt which is
thrown off by the operation, from the salt and
sugar is surprising.-Germamtoao Telegraph.

courtship of Capt. MILES sTANDIsH

by MOSES BULIING, 1872.
Miles Staniish IN the Mayhewer came
Across the storm wave,
And i'll that little band was none
More generous and brave.
Midst cold December's sleet and snow
On Plymouth rock they land;
Weak were their hands, but strong their hear
That pious pilgrim band.
Oh, sad it was in their poor huts,
To hear the storm wind blow;
And terrible at midnight hour
When yell'd the savage foe.
And when the savage, grim and dire,
His bloody work began,
For champion bold, have been told,
Miles Standish was the man.
But oh, his heart was made to bow
With grief and pain full low,
Forsickness on the pilgrim band
Now dealt dreadful blow.
In arms of death so fast they fell,
They scarce were buried, .Il.
And his dear wife, whose name was Rose,
Was laid among the dead.
His sorrow was not loud but deep
For her he did bemoan;
And such keen anguish wrung his heart,
He could not live alone.
Then to John Alden he did speak;
For John Alden,was his friend;
And said, ''friend John, unto nay wish
/ pray thee now attend.
Myheart is sad, tits very sad,
Ny poor wife Rose has gone;
And in this wild and savage land
l cannot live alone.
To Mr.. William Mullens, then,
wish you would repair,
And see if he will give me leave
To wed his daughter fair
Priscilla was this daughters name,
Comely and fair was she,
And kind of heart she was wlthal,
As any maid could be.
John Alden to oblige his friend,
Straight way to Mullen's went,
And told errand like man,
And ask I'd for his consent.
Now Mr.. lIullens was sire
Quite rational and kind,
And such consent would never give
Against his daughters mind.
He told John Alden if his child
Should be inclined that way,
And Captain Standish was her choice,
He had no more to say.
He then called in his daughter dear,
And straightway did retire,
That she might with more freedom speak
In the absence of her sire.
John Alden had bright blne eye,
And was handsome man,
And whenhe spoke, pleasant look
Ger all his features ran.
lie rose, and ina courteous way
His errand did declare,
And said, 'fair maid. what word shall
To Captain Standish bear?'
Warm bushes glowed upon the cheeks
Of that fair maiden then;
At first she turned away her eyes,
Then looked at John again.
And then, with downcast, modest mien,
She said with trembling tone,
"Now prithee, John, why dost thou not
Speak for thyself alone?''
Deep red then grew John Alden's face,
He bade the maid good bye;
But well she read before he went,
The language of his eye.
No matter what the language said,
Whchin that eye was rife &
In one short month, Priscilla was
John Alden's loving wife.
