oRvILLE GARDNER's ESTABLISHMENT.

1t is some time since we noticed this
powerful agent for good among the cast off
men of our city, not because we did not
sympathize and rejoice in his movement,
but because, being once started and mov-
ing regularly on, it did not seem particu-
larly to demand attention. 1t is well
known that Mr.. Gardner was the Prize
Fighter and head of rowdyism in New
York, who went by the name of Awful
Gardner, but who was suddenly converted
in the great Revival three years ago, and
whose conversion, and subsequent ability
and zeal for the conversion of others of his
own class, drew forth the admiration of
thousands. Many predicted his speedy
return; but, through the grace of God, he
has continued to this day; and we may
add, through his being placed in situa-
ton Of usefulness, where it has been his
great business to care for and restore the
fallen. A coffee room was fitted up for
him, No % New Bowery, with furniture
newspapers and books, where men, even of
the lowest class, might come and be cared
for, receive instruction, and apparel, and
food, and hear such exhortations as might
reclaim and save them. Into this estab-
lishment Mr.. Gardner threw himself, be-
ing sustained, though not literally, by the
table and donations of some gentlemen in
terested in the establishment. The good
that has been done is not easily estimated.
During the last fifteen months. it is re-
ported that from 1000 to 1900 miserable
drinking and drunken men have been
started in sober habits and guided to USE
ful employments, and many have, under
the personal appeals of Mr.. Gardner, an
avowedly religious man, become hopeful
Christians.
In what we have said of Inebriate Asy-
lums, we have not spoken of this, because
it is not place for residence and confne-
mcnt, or long medical treatment, like that
at Boston or Binghampton; and yet it has
proved an Asylum to many who had no
place where to lay their head. Left much
through the last season to take care of
himself, Mr. Gardner has become involved
in debt, and greatly needs assistance to
maintain his establishment 7. Pro.

A CHRISTMAS PIE.

Before plum pudding was invented, a
mammoth pie for Christmas was consid-
cred indispensable in every English fam
lily. An old writer says of it, at is a
great nostrum; the composition Of this
pastry is most learned mixture Of meats
tongues, chicken, eggs sugar, raisins, lem
on and orange peel, various kinds Of
spicery, ETC." Another writer mentions
that the chief ingredient of The pie was
always a goose. There is an account Of
an enormous Christmas pie made in l77C
for Sir Henry Grey. | contained two
bushels Of flour, twenty pounds of butter
four geese, two turkeys, two rabbits, foul
wild ducks, two woodcocks, six snipes
four partridges, two meats tongues, two
curlews, seven black birds, and six pig
eonsl 1t was nine feet in circumference
and weighed about one hundred and sixty
eight pounds. 1t was fitted upon cas-
set on wheels, SO that it could be easil,
passed about the table to each guest.

From the Cosmopolitan Art Journal.
p TASTE.

1t belongs to the aesthetic calibre of the
female mind to lean mostly to beauty and
purity of tint, while that of the masculine
tends to grandeur and elegance of contour.
We see this inllustrated in o promenade
in Broadway. Monsieur will have tho
contour of his toilette perfection itself !;
the set of his coat is faultless, and he will
not don hat that presents an ungraccful
line Madam, au contraire, first thinks
of color, the tint, the exact shade of her
robe; should the hue be unbeeoming her
complexion, she could not dream of pur-
chasing it. The female taste in America
is, directly, the most influential in the
Fine Arts. We have yet to see lNonseiur
venture to place in the parlor chef G
eucrc to which Madame objects-and, as
he has the politesse to consult her taste in
the selection of works of art and as her
taste inclines to color instead Of contour,
paintings are purchased instead of statu-
airy. But gentlemen are indirectly cater
ing to theirpenchant for contour by intro
ducing sculpture in architectural ornamen-
tations: they are unwittingly speeding the
poesy Of contour, the harmony, beauty,
and grace of lines in their exquisite eight
wagons" and Incompatible "equipagcs'-
while the influence of female taste upon
the liningand trimming of carriages, with
in the LAST ten years, is truly wonderful.
Then, everything was brilliant and garish
conspicuous lamps and startling trim
mings; now, the hue must be becoming,
subordinate and minor objects en- suit.
These two aesthetic tastes act and react
upon each other and while their direct
influence upon the female mind is that of
patronizing painting more than culpture,
the constitutional tendency of the male
mind is perpetually inelining to contour
thus forming slow and sure basis for the
permanent and immortal in Creative Art.

MOLASSES CANDY.

Our experienced correspondent J. Gro
ger, sends the following description of the
way to make good article, which will be
welcome to all who have not yet lost their
'sweet teeth"
Candy can only be made from sugar !;
when molasses is boiled, the sugar it con-
tains, is brought to a solid condition, and
of course, the more sugar there is in the
molasses, the better the prospect Of getting
candy" Much molasses, so called, is
composed principally of water, colored with
a little charcoal or carbon, the sugar is
wanting, and you will not succeed in max
ing candy from such an article, unless SUI
gar be added to it. To make "prtme
article" get molasses of light color, rich
in sugar, put in a pan, and set it over the
fire; confectioners use copper pans. The
pan should not be more than half full, as
it is very liable to boil over at first To
prevent this in some degree, add little
piece of butter-perhaps half the size Of
a hickory nut, whenever it boils near the
top, and be ready to take it from the fire,
if that should fail. When it fairly gets
to boiling, there is not 50 much danger Of
its running over.
TO ascertain when it is boiled enough,
drop little into cold water, and as soon
as it has become cold, try it with the
teeth. If it bites tough, it is not boiled
enough, but if it cracks between the teeth
and seems very brittle, it is done. Then
Immediately take it from the fire, and poul
it on something to cool, and you have mo-
lasses candy. In proportion as it is boilec
to this degree, it will require more careful
watching to prevent burning. DO not lie
it boil as rapidly, and try it oftener, unit
it cracks and snaps between the teeth OF
fingers. Sometimes little saleratus il
added to the candy to make it lighter ant
more brittle. If it be used, have it fnel,
Ipulverized, and as soon as the molasses j
boiled enough, take it off the fire, sprinkl
in the saleratus, stir it quickly for mo
ment and pour it out. The color is i'm
proved by working the candy; that il
when it is cooled enough to handle, takin
q lump, stretching it out and folding
together repeatedly, until it is sufficient
white. A little lard on the hands prevent
sticking. Confectioncrs have q large hoo
, over their table, over which the lump
| thrown and pulled, and doubled and pulle
again, until finished No -four is adde
