Grace Arkwright was not afraid to be
protected by one who had so nobly'' res.
cned her from the hands Of vllanous
libcrtine therefore in a grateful and
straight-fo, ward way she accepted the
y ,ung sailors offer, and ere the shades
of night set fairly in. found herself com.
fortably domiciled in Theodore Caswell'
home.
Charmed at once by the beauty of her
person, the frank simplicity Of her man.
ner. and the superior capabilities of her
mind, Caswell loved her; and before a
month had elapsed, became her betrothed
husband.
Then Theodore. having shipped as
chief mate of the Skylark was obisei to
go to sea: but as he left his loved one on
the day of sailing, he told her earnestly
that when the voyage was safely over. the
Orphan of the Wreck must and should
certainly become the Sailors Prize.

To Make Farming Profitable.

Every beginner in farming. by secur.
ing the following essentials, will sue.
coed
l. Buy no more land than there is
capital enough to pay for, with ono
third more .surplus-for a small farm,
free from debt, with plenty of means to
stock it. enrich it,and carry on its work,
will yield more than larger one, en-.
numbered with debt, conducted fcebly
in every part. with bad fences, poor i'm =
plements, bony animals, weedy fields
and thin crops.
2. Lay out the Gylds in the best or
der-so as to admit systematic rotation,
and to give ready access to every field at
all times without passing through other
fields.
8. Provide good fences, and necessary
gates-ahd valuable time will not be
lost in driving out intruding animals
nor crops lost by their depredatious.
4. Furnish good farm buildings to se-
cure properly the crops, and to afford
shelter to animals.
5 Select the best animals end the
best implements that can be secured at Q
reasonable price.
6. Bring the soil into good condition
by manuring and araining. and keep il
so by judicious rotation.
7. Effect clear and systematic ar.
rangement OF all the work, SO that there
shall be no clashlng or confusion.
s. Employ diligence aud energy. aud
adopt careful Register.

Healthy Bread.

stuff.
Take as much milk warm water as you
will want to make your batch Of bread.
and salt it about twice as salt as you
would if you were going to mix the
same quantity into salcratus bread
Stir in -four enough to make q paste
about as thick as griddle-cake dough.
Put this paste into pot Of warm water
on the stove,hearth where the water in
the pot will keep abou, milk warm all
the time. This will give the paste an
even temperature.
la four or five honrs the paste will
rise and foam like Yeast. Then turn it
into your mixing pan and mix in -four
enough to make your dough for bread,
and mould it into your pans ready for
baking. Set the pans in warm place,
under or about the stove, and cover them
over with clean cloth or paper and let
it rise, which will take about two hours.
and as soon as it is fairly raised put it
into a hot oven and bake it quick aud
thoroughly.
You will have ,hs lishtest, whitest.
and sweetest bread that can be made, and
that is healthy and will retain ii natl.
raj taste Of a handful of wheat che wed
in your mouth, and is not spoiled by sal
eratus. cream-of.tartar, yeast. powder.
and such like dre.s.
II you do not put the salt into Il .
water you will fail 20 get a good rite
about nine times out Of ten. but follow
