Saleratus is pearl ASH saturated with
fxcd air, or ctrbonic acid gas, by placing
it in a shallow box about six inches deep,
perforated with holes made BY Il large
eimlet or small augcr and suspending the
box under the cover OF fermentlng vat
or cistern OF a distillery. as near the
wash as possible without danger of its

altered appearance, smell or taste, crumb-
linz easily between the fingers.
This substance is getting into such gen.
era use in the eastern states, that most
Of tha eroeers and store keepers keep it
for sale. Good housc-keepers think it an
important article in domestic economy
Bread made with it, wet with milk, will
be very light in half an hour-and those
who use it with yeast, say that there Is
no danger Of ever hayinsa sour batch OF
bread. For all kinds OF cake it is highly
useful bat caution is requisite not to Use
to much--a little practice will ascertain
the quality.
In a ncw country ike this, where the
inhabitants live at distance from each
other, and are Liable to be called upon to
exercise their wontei hospitality at all
hours, an article that will enable them to
produce good bread in short time, must
be desirable.

The Rebuke.

The Rebuke.
The infant is sleeping,
He prattles no more;
The mother is weeping,
Afflicted and sore
The children are crying,
Fer q" baby is dead"
The father is signing
For one little head.
There is grief in the palace,
And mourning and woe,
All, save littlc Alice,
Their sorrow do show.
Her fair checks are fearless
Her blue eyes are clear;
And trusting and fearless,
She stands by the bier.
Her voice is unbroken.
As. lifting her head,
She turns to the living,
From one that is dead
i" Dear mother, you told us
That God was ON high,
And his arms would enfold us
Whenever we die.
And father, | heard YOU
Tell uncle, last night.
Your child was an angel
In raimcnt Of white:
Then why all this weeping,
This sorrow and pain
Our Willie is sleeping.
To waken again.
With the voice Of a prophet,
The look oi seer,
Her words OF rchuking
EuehaiHed every ear;
The sob, came no longer,
The cyrs knew no balm
The parents were stronger.
The children were calm.
Meath the shade of the willow
They laid him to rest,
The sods for his pillow.
\ rose ON hts breast:
And thry learned from his going
One lesson ot worth.
There are angels in heaven,
And angels ON earth.

something, for they endorsed the Sultans bond

Turkish government can do nothing let its will

savage horde of Mussulmans in the world. and

resin This is n cheap compound, the resin
costing only to cents per pound at retail
We make up dozen pounds or so at a time,
and keep it on hand, melting it as often. as
needed.
PedcheS, cherries, plHms, dpricots, pears and
qninces, may be all put up in the same manner,
and with but very moderate cooking. Apples
and ounces OF couse require pairing and coring.
They may be cut into pieces Of any desired size
and form. If in very large pieces, a little lon
ger boiling may be needed to have them heated

ries are all the better for being first stoned,
and more OF them can thus be got into the bot

Apples may be stewed into sauce ready for
the table, and then be bottled up for USE with
out further cooking, three, six, nine or twelve
months afterwards. We always put up large
quantity thus, at different periods of the year
in the winter, taking cans that had previously
been used for the same purpose or for other
fruits.

Tomatoes we put up largely every year, and
have now lin June) fair supply, as good as if
just gathered and cooked These we skin, cut
and boil down one half, and then bottle up
Prepared in this way they are so convenient,
and of so good and fresh quality that we make
no special effort to secure early new tomatoes.
MuJa'J, stewed soft, sweetened as for pies,
and bottled, comes out nice and fresh in mid
winter or spring.
CHTdNts and gooseJGries are also similarly
kept, but these should be mature, if not ripe,
and be well cooked and sweetened with strong
syrup.
Green peas, beans and corn may also be kept,
but they need to be thoroughly cooked before
botting, or they are liable to spoil.
We repeat, in closing, that though we have
made long chapter in giving particulars, the
process of putting up in bottles and cans, we
find to be less trouble and labor, than the old
fashioned mode of preserving in sugar, while
less sugar is required, and a sweatmeat or sauce
is thus obtained, far superior in appearance, in
taste, and especially in healthfulness.

conspiracy themselves plotted to seize not only
forts and arsenals but the Capitol and Treasury,
provided the pending election went against
them. Predictions of disunion, revolution. an
archy, and civil war, wer, freely made through
ont the North as well as the South to be real
lied in case of popularv in favor of the
Republican party.
Thus was it in 1856 but in 1860 the moral
certainty of Republican triumph evokes no
menace and excites no darn. All see and adj
nit that Lincoln is pr,bably to be our next
President; yet the fecblst nerves are mistaken,
the weakest head untuned, by apprchensions
Of consequent convulson. The Republicans,

And it is no secret that either faction this day
prefers the triumph of the Republicans to that
of its rival, and compl,cently anticipates the
election of Lincoln and lIamlh.
There is a moral in this which young politi-
clans especially should lay to heart. 1t may be
summed up in three Words Trust IN TRt'Tn.
DO not ask which of two coltending hosts is
the strongest in numbers, bu which has Right
ON its side; and be sure tat is really the
stronger, no matter what appearances may in
dictate. Doubtless, thousand, of young men,
just entering on the stage of esponsible action
in 1886, said within themselv,s-"The Repub-
licans seem to be right in the a,stract but they
can't succeed; so what is the Use? The Dem
ocrats are nvincible they hare nearly always
rnled and ,cW rule; so | cast N my lot with
them" Thousands argued thus to themselves
in 1856 who can see in 1860 that their calcula-
ton was short-sighted and fallacious-that it
failed to give due weight to eternal Justice,
righteousness, and truth. Ma, those who come
after them heed and profit by The lesson!

A RICH SPELL.-A lady teacher in a sub
urban town furnishes the following incident
from her "school as it was" One pleasant
summer afternoon the school was officially Wis
tied by member of the board of the school
committee, who, among other things, called
upon class of Juveniles to SPELL After trying
them with words of one, two, and three sylla-
bles, our CON mittee man gave the word "Mas-
sachusetts," which was promptly spelled in the
usual way, but not in a manner satisfactory to
the examiner. "No children, you are not right"
when all hands were up in support of the little
miss who first spelled it. The teacher express
ing her concurrence will. her pupils, the "mem;
right by spelling it thus Mas, Mas s-a,
sa, Mas-sa c-h-E-u, chu, Mas-sa-chu; s-e-t-t-s,
setts, Massachusetts,. This spell was render
ed with peculiar nasal intonation that Won
derfully increased the righteousness of tho 90
casion.

In vessel Of the line
Away to Canada
Across the ocean brine:
As the son of his Mamma
His weather should be fine
What transports the Canadians will cvince
When they behold our youthful Prnce
Not ours alone. but also theirs
Each colony with England shares
In Protestant Sophias heirs.
How all the bells will ring, the cannons roar!
Ana they who never saw Il Prnce before,

Waylny him and address him
His Royal lIighness-bless him =

They'll make no doubt, greater fuss
Than what is usually made by Us,
In some of our rcmoter parts,
Where country Corporations see
For the first time Her Majesty
INLAY she be destined long to regnU
When by her Parliament set free
She travels by n stopping train,
Briianniu's trump-thc Queen of hearts.
But still more pressing ceremony waits
The Prince in the United States;
What mobs will his hotel bcset

BURSTING OF THE WAsHoE BUBBLE.-The
rush to the Washoe silver mines in northern
California and southern Utah seems to have
turned out almost as disastrously as that to
Frazer river 1t is now pretty well established
that the Washoe will not support any consider
able mining population. 1t is significant cir
cumstance that those who left the country at
the time of the Indian panic did not return and
those who remained as volunteers under Jack
Hayes have since been disbanded and returned
to California. Several heavy firms in San Fran
cisnn have heen Swamped by the Washoe enter
prise, the merchandise sent thither at at a cost
of nearly thousand dollars per ton having
proved almost total loss the goods cannot be
sold and are not worth the expense of bringing
back. Stocks in the silver mining companies
are now unsaeable at any price The Ophir
company, which had capital of five millions,
would be glad to sell out for S500, 900, but can
not get that. Notwithstanding these facts, it is
the opinion of experienced miners that the sill
yer of the Washoe region, although not half as
abundant as it was represented, will pay well
for taking out with proper machinery. 1t seems
to be the established rule that the first rush to
the new mining regions shall end in disappoint-
ment and disaster. Much of this is due to the
intentional exaggerations of spectators, and
quite much perhaps to the excited imagina-
tons of the first discoveries of new mineral
region, who come to see the soil full of the
richest deposits of gold and silver.
