Mistaken Notion.

Good Aduice for the ITmcs.-Somc
persons seem to think they must hoard
up every cent they can get hold of, in
order to provide against hard times, and
we hear lessons on all sides about econ

In fact i; is the most certain way to
bring about the very evils they fear
The suspension of all enterprises leaves
the laboring people without the means
of support. and the result is the prostra-
ton of every branch of business. Eve
ry man who has the means should per-
severe in his projects of improvements
which promises to be productive. Men
will still want houses to live in, bread to
eat and clothes to wear. The farmer
need not therefore hesitate to purchase
fertilizers, or raise stock, and to put up
such buildings as are necessary. Those
who have wealth should live as hereto
fore, and men generally should remem-
Der that there is such thing as being
penny wise and pound foolish. If the
people cannot get work they cannot pur-
chase food, and if they cannot purchase
it they must have it given to them!
Persons of means should remember
this end when talking about curtailine
expenses. In short if improvements arr
needed, now is the time to make them

ParsOn BrOWnlOW'S Prayer.

sious of their Legislatures, we have deem.
ed it proper sustaining the relation to the

and order that it shall be uaed this win
ter by all local preachers in their public
ministrations
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father,

and the issues of events, not mixed up
with locofocoism, or ordered offensive in
Thy sight, by being identified with men
of corrupt minds, evil designs, and dam
nable purposes, such as seeking to up
turn the best form of Government on
earth. Thou hast graciously promised
to hear the prayer of those who. in an
humble spirit and with true faith such
as no secessionist can bring into exer.
cise-cali upon Thee, be pleased, we be-
secch Thee, favorably to look upon and
bless the Union men of this Common
wealth, and sustain them in their praise
worthy efforts to perpctuate this Govern
mcnt, and under it the institutions Of our
holy religion. Possess their minds with
the spirit of true patriotism, enlightened
wisdom, and of persevcring hostility to-
wards those traitors, political gamblers,
and selfish demagogues, who are seeking
to build up miserable Southern Con-
federacy, and under it to inaugurate a
new reading of the Ten Commandments,
so as to teach that the chief end of man is
Niger! In these days of trouble and
perplexity give the common people grace
to perceive the right path, which Thou
knowest leads from the camps of South
eru madcaps and Northern fanatics, and
enable them steadfasty to walk therein

of corrupt men in power, nor by bribery,
nor by an overchargc of mean whiskey,
nor by any other Democratic passion,

intcndence, of the awful majesty of thy
righteousness, of thy hatred of a corrupt
Democracy and its profgate leaders, and
of the strict account they must hereafter
give to Thee they may in counsel, word
and deed, aim suprcmely at the fulfl-
ment of their duty, which is to talk, vote
and pray against the wicked leaders Of
abolitionism, and the equally ungodly
advocates of secessionism. Grant that
those of Thy professed ministers who are
mixed up with modern Democracy. and

speedily abandon their unministcrial hab-

that their positions may at least be une-

grant that these fire-eaters may soon run

Turning Water into Wine.

An ingenious fraud was recently per-
petrated on London pawnbroker by a
needy individual. The latter called on
the money-lender with sample of wine
asking o lone of forty pounds on two
ho9sheads Of wine of the same quality
The wine was tasted, approved, and 80
pounds advanced. The casks were pa-
ced in the possession of the pawnbroker,
who subjected the wine to an addition
al tast, and was perfectly satisfied as to
his bargain. But two weeks subsequent
ly the casks were opened and found to
contain about twenty-five pailfuls each
of most excellent water. and the wine
was carefully kept from the adulteratng 2
fluid by being coafned in small blad-
der neatly tackled around the Spile hole
from which the samples were drawn
The ingenuity of the needy individual
not being properly appreciated by the
magistrate before whom he was taken he
is now serving out "penal servitude' u
of eighteen months hard labor.

Useful Receipts.

Az INFAIIIBLE REMEDY FOR DYsENTERY
AND PRoTRACTED DIARRHGA DR.. Page,
Of Washington, communicates the following
to the Republican of that city:
The following simple remedy long known
in family practice, was recently tried in the
camp of the New York Twenty-second Reg
Imept. where there were from so to 100
casesQaily of dysentery ,and with rapid cures
in every case:
Recipe IN a tea cup half full Of vinegar,
dissolve as much salt as it will take ap, leav-
ing a little excess Of salt at the bot tom o!
the cup. Pour boiling water upon the so-
luton till the cup is two-thirds or three
quarters full. \ scum will rise to the sur
face, which must be removed and the solu-
ton allowed to cool.
Dose: Tablespoonful three times day
till relieved.
The rationale of the operations of this
medicine will readily occur to the patholo-
gist, and in many hundred trials, have
never known it to fail in dysentery and pro-
tracted diarrhGa.
Starching Curtains. s.--Thin curtains, in
doing up, should have white glue put in the
starch, piece two or three inches square to
six yards of stuff. The glue makes them
difficult to iron, but curtains done up so will
keep their stiffness. If muslin, they need to
be very damp and the iron very hot.
Chicken Sulad.-Some one has requested
through the rural, recipe for making thick
en- salad. | send the best one have ever
used The rccip makes enough for twenty
persons. Two heads of celery, two chickens
ten eggs, SIX small cucumber pickles, one
tablespoonful mustars, a little Carenne pep
per. and hall cup butter. Wash the yolks
of the eggs, put in the seasoning with lit
tie vinegar, chop the whites of the eggs, the
pickles, chicken, and celery, then mix
Eat it and say lit is the best You have ever
tasted.
Preserving Pinedppes.-If Aunt Libby,
desires to preserve 'pincapples,' let her take
the fruit and peel it, pick it with fork then
to every pound of the picked or gsated fruit
add one pound and half of crushed sugar,
A layer OF fruit, then layes Of sugar, thus
to to the end ofthe chapter. 1t spoils it to
cook it.
CrackerS.--One teacap of sweet milk, half
teaspoon of soda, one tablespoonful of the
white of an esg, three of butter. Mix very
stiff and pound, roll thin aad bake quick.

An Editors Dream.

A bachelor editor, ont west, who had
received from the fair hund of bride, a
piece of elegant wedding cake to dream
on, thus gives the results of bis remark
able experience
We put it under the head Of our pill
low, shut our eyes sweet y as an infant,
blessed with an easy conscience, and soon
snored prodigiously.
The god of dreams gently touched us,
and in fancy we were married Never
was n little editor SO happy. Itwas my
love- dearest sweetest ringing in
our ears every moment. Oh, that the
dream had broken off herei But no
some evil genius put it into the head of
our ducky to have pudding for dinner,
just to please her lord.
In a hungry dream we sat down to
dinner. Well, the happy pudding mo-
ment had arrived, and huge slice al
most obscured from sight the plate before
Us.
MY dear said We iondly, did you
make this 2?
Yes, love, don't you think it is very

spouse as noticing our misfortune. she
determined to keep us down by piling on
the dishes with no gentle hand. Then,
in rapid succession, followed the war cry.
Plum pudding she shrieked with every
dish.
Bread pudding in smothered tones,
came from the pile in reply. Then it
was plum pudding in rapid succession,
the last cries growing feebler. until we
just distinctly recolect, it had grown to
whisper. Plum pudding resounded
like thunder, followed by tremendous
crash, as my wife leaped upon the pile
with both feet, and commenced jumping
up and down. Then, thank heaven, we
awoke, and behold it was dream. This
dream has determined us-we shall new
