A BRAVE BOY.

A brave little boy who was left alene
in charge of dentists Office and lodg-
ings in New Orleans, recently was ava
kened in the night py the entrance of a
burglar. With eyelids opened merely to
line, he saw him step to the side of the
bed, look through the mosquito bar, and
bend his head down to listen if the occu-
pant betrayed signs of being awake
Satisfied with the scrutiny, the burglar
took a piece of candle from his vest pock
ct and lighted it with a match. He then
raised the mosquito bar and put his head
under, holding the light in one hand and
bowie knife in the other, the blade ly-
ing against the fore part of his arm
The lad preserved an appearance as if
he slept, and fully satisfied with the last
examination, the burglar stealthily and
slowly passed into the apartment adjoin-
ing The boy got quietly out of bed and
made across the room which the thief
had Just left to drawer where there were
two pistols. The noise made in obtain
ing them was heard by the burglar, who
rushed back and made at the boy with
knife uplifted, and his left hand at a
pistol which he had by his side. The
little fellow was equal to the emergen-
cy, for he stood firm, holding pistol in
each hand, presented at the thief. The
burglar did not dare to advance, but re-
treated slowly, followed by the lad, with
pistols extended. He had succeeded in
cooking one of the derringers only but
hesitated to fire lest he might miss. As
the burglar went he fell over chair, but
before the boy could decide upon shoot :
ing was upon his pins again, making out
into the court and climbing up the lad
der. Then the 10y tried what the der
ringer could do, and fired as he was try
ing to get on the wall. The ball unfor-
tunately missed, and the thief escaped.

PIE MELLONS-P B. e.
SERVES, PIES, &c.

A good deal was said, last spring, about
a melon for winter keeping, that could be
used as a substitute for apple pies. We
received some of the seeds of the apple
pie melon, and gave them to a farmer
friend to plant to see what would come of
them. A few. days ago our friend
brought US half of melon, the whole
of which weighed some twenty pounds.
It was nice solid fellow, much like
citron, and as half melon would not
keep, we ash ed wife Mollie to make it up
into preserves like citron, which she did
and it proved most capital article for
preserving. Her way of doing it was
this: Cut the melon across. in slices
about an inch thick, take off the skin
and take out the softest of the core, cut
up the slices in pieces according to fancy,
of such size as will be convenient to
serve at table, put the pieces in prescrv,
ing kettle, with green grape leaves, for
what preservers call ''greaning," (but if
these cannot be had, not much matter
set the kettle over the fire, and pour on
boiling water to cover, and let it heat
gently for three hours. Then take out
the pieces carefully, so as not to break
them, and lay them in pan of cold wa
ter. Then proceed to make syrup of
one pound of sugar to one pound of fruit,
(weighed before boiling,) using a pint of
water to pound of sugar, and put the
fruit in this syrup, and boil again until
it is clear-say three to five hours
When about half done, put in sliced
lemons-say one lemon to each pound of
fruit. The apple pie melon has good
body, but is insipid in favor by itself,
and must be seasoned with lemon or 9th
er acid
To cook the aple pie melon for sauce,
first pare and then slice like apple, and
put into the bake tin-add little vine
gar, and sweeten to your taste. The ad-
dition of extract of lemon, or tartaric
acid. makes them yet better than the
vinegar for pies or sauce. To prepare
them for pies, peel and and cut up small,
taking out the seeds, soft pulp, etc
Put them in preserving kettle, with
just water enough to keep them from
burning, and stew over toleSably brisk
Gre for three or four hours, or until the
whole is reduced to thin pulpy mass,
free from luEps and entirely done
You have then substance resembling
apples stewed, add sugar and lemon to it,
and make it up with crust in the usual
way. IF kept in dry, cool cellar, the
melons will remain good through the
whole winter.-Ohio Cnltivator.

THE RaSflFUL NAN.

Washington Irving at party in Egn-
land, one day playfully asserted that the
love of annexation with the Anglo-Saxon
race displayed on every occasion, pro-
ceeded probably from its mauuaise honte
rather than its greediness. AS proof
he cited the story of bashful friend Of
his, who being asked to dinner party
sat down to the table in great state of
excitement, owing to his recluse life. A
few glasses Of wine mounting to his
brain. completed his confusion, and dist
pated the small remains of his presence
of mind. Castiug his eyes down he saw
on his lap some white linen. My hca-
vens,' thought he, that's my shirt por-
truding at my waisthand.' He immedi-
ately commenced to tuck in the offend
ing portion of his dress; but the more he
tucked in, the more they seemed to re-
main. At last he made "A desperate eff
fort, when a sudden crash around him.
and scream from the company, brought
him to his senseses. He had been all
The time stufing the table cleth il to his
breeches, and the last time had swept ev-
erything clean off the table. Thus our
our bashful friend annexed table cloth,
thinking it the tail of his own shirt. g

THE AIT OF PREACHING.

There is much in common between
the tragic actor and the popular preach
er, but while the actors power is gener
ally the result of studied elocution, the
preachers is almost always native. A
teacher of elocution would probably say
that the manner eff Chalmers, Guthrie.
or of Caird was very bad one, but it
suits the man, and no other would pro
duee like impression. In reading the
most effective discourses of the greatest
preachers we are invariably disappoint
ed. We can see nothing very particular
in those quotations from Chalmers which
are recorded as having SO overwhelming
ly impressed those who heard them
1t was manner that did it all. In short
an accessory, which in England is almost
entirely neglected, is the secret of Scotch
effect. Nor is it any derogation from
an orators genius to say that his power
lies much less in what he says than how
he says it. 1t is but saying that his
weapon can be welded by no other hand
than his own. Manner makes the en-
tire difference between Macready and the
pooreststroller that murders Shakespeare e..
The matter is the same in the cas- of
each. Each has the same thing to say ;
the enormous difference lies in the man
ner in which he says it. The greatest
effects recorded to have been produced by
human language have been produced by
things which, in merely reading them,
would not have appeared SO very remark
able. Hazlitt tells us that nothing so
fingered on his ear as line from Homes
Douglas, as spoken by young Betty:
''And happy, in my mind, was he that died"
We have heard it said that Macrcady
never produced greater effect than by
the very simple words, "Who said that?'
1t is, perhaps, a burlssque of an ack-
nowiedged fact, to record that Whitfield
could thrill an audience by saying
"Mesopotamia! Hugh Miller tells us
that he heard Chalmers read a piece
which he (Miller) himself had written.
It produced the effect of the most tell
ing acting, and its author never knew
how fine it was till then. We remem-
Der we'll the feeling which ran through
us when he heard Card say, GAS we
beud over the grave where the dying are
burying the dead" All this is the re-
suit of the gift of genius; to feel with
the whole soul, and utter with the whole
soul. The case of Gavazzi shows that
tremendous energy can carry an audience
away, without its understanding syl-
liable Of what is said. Inferior men think,
by loud roaring and frantic gesticulation,
to produce that impression which genius
alone can produce. But the counterfeit
is wretched, and with all intelligent peo-
pie, the result is desirous and disgust.
