A MOTHERS LovE.--Some OF our read
ers may recoIlect a thrilling ballad which
WAS writted on the death Of a woman
who perished in the snow drifts Of the
mountains. That mother bore an infant
on her bosom, and when the storm ragged
load and furious, true to a mothers love.
she rent her own garment, and wrapped
it around her babe. The morning found
her a corpse, but ber babe survived and
grew to manhood. How thrilling must
be his thoughts Of that mother. Let son.
when far away from home, on the land
or sea, when the eye Of no mother is up
on them remember ber love and be re.
strained by it from entering the path Of
vice. Let them say nothing, do nothing,
which mother wound not approve, and
they will never bring down her gray
hairs with sorrow to the grave.

Blackberry Wine.

This wine if rightly made, is to our
taste, better than any Catswba that ever
came from Lopgworth's cellars, and we
have been at the trouble of procuring the
following receipts for it's manufacture
from one who knows all about it.
ITO one gallon of backberries, add one
pint OF boiling water, let it stand until it
begins to ierment, then press off the H..
quid and add n half pound Of the bes,
brown sugar, put IN n cool place until
fermentation has nearly ceased, which
will be in eight or ten days, according to
the temperature OF the weather, then cork
up the vessel closely until fall, then wine
should be bottled. BE careful to cork
the vessel before the wine becomes too
acid, even should the fermentation be
rather active.
The above recipe makes TIE best wine,
but the following is more approved by
some as yielding more wine and nearly
as good
TO gallon Of juice pressed from the
berries, add two quarts Of water and
three and half pounds of sugar, and
proceed as in the first recipe.
Anybody who drinks wine by itself
stands in some danger of becoming a
"guzz'er," SO here is recipe for making
something good to eat with it:
10 make good mock mince pies-mix
one cup Of sugar, one Of moIasses, one
and half of bread crumbs, one OF cider

of water, three eggs, one ounce Of cloves
one ounce Of sods-tbis will make mate.

'NS'~~NON '"O Vi tHIS, our
request is that your Excellency will, for
the future, order that no widow shall, for
the future, presume to marry any young
man till the maids are provided for; or
else pay, each Of them, a fine for satisfac.
ton for invading our liberties; and like.
wise a fine % be laid on all such bache.

great disadvantage il is TO US old maids
IL, that the widows, by their forward car.
riages, do snap up the young men, and
have the vanity to think their merits be.
yond ours, which is great imposition or
us who have the preference.
This is humbly recommended to your
