READY-MADE YEAST. p Perhaps our
lady readers may not understood the
best method OF having good ready
made yeast always on hand. We in
variably have bread made from the
yeast cakes prepared as follows: Put
in to three pints Of water handful of
hops and nearly a quart OF pared po-
tatoes cut into small pieces. Boil Tor
half an hour aud strain while scaiding
hot into sufficient -four to make a stiit
batter. Stir it well, adding one table,
spoonful of yeast, and set il in warm
place to rise. When light. mix ii
with Indian meal, roll out thln and
cut it into round or square pieces
Dry these and keep them IN bag in
dry place. They will rem ain coed
for months. Before using, take one
of these cakes for each medium sized
loaf, soak in warm wafer till soft, and
add teaspoonful of soda for three or
four yeast cakes. add this to the
flenr with warm water, md raise in
the usual manner. Some put the light
yeast without adding the Indian meal.
into close jars or jugs, and use as
needed. 1t will not keep many weeks
by this method.- osntry Gentleman.

TRvNspLANrlso TREEs.-If Nur-
serymen would mark the north side
before they were taken up, and whes
set out to have the tree put in the
ground with its north side to the north
in its natural position, a larger proper
ton would live. Ignoring this law
of nature, is the cause of so many
transplanted trees dying. If the
north side is exposed to the seuk
heal of the sun, especially in Me
Southern States, it is too great Ior.
that side Of the tree to bear, and
therefore it dries mp and decays.

How A SHREwD KENTUCKY DARKEY
OBTAINED HIS LIBERTY.-Anthony
Reux' a colored engine driver on
board one of the Ohio river steam
boats, being asked how he got his
freedom, replied as follows:
"Why, Massa, my health was very
bad when | was in Kentucky; 1
couldn't do nc kind of work, was
very feeble {; twas jest as much as I
could do to hoe my own garden and
eat the sass I; and the Misses that
own me see that | was mis- ole nlg-
ger-one of the mis- ablest kind. 30
1 said 10 her, 'Missus, I'm n;s'able
nigger, and l aint worth nothing, and
| amt worth nothing, and l think
you'd better sell me I'm such mis-
BILE nigge.' Now Massa, was such
a mis'able niger that Missus agreed
to sell me for hundred dollars, and
l agreed to try to work and earn the
money 10 pay her, and | did, and my
health has Deen getting better ever
since, and ,spects | made about nine
hundred dollars that time out OF that
Niger. Yah, yah. yah! Massa."

ARDENT SPIRITS. Independent o
its effects, individual, sol ial, moral

the club, brandishes the bowie-knife
hurls the bullet, nerves the burglar
inspires the thief, and kindles the

the dog mad and then unchains him.
And, it might be added. the idiots
who are under its influence think them
selves very brave, when in fact they
are quite the reverse-having in their

struclion, fearing lest any should op-
pose or hurt them.
