How 70 CLEAN A GUN.--No one should put
away gun without cleaning, not even if it
has fired but one shot, that one barrel should
be cleaned. First take the barrels off the
stock, and immerse them in cold water about
four inches deep. Then wrap some stout
cloth (tow clings to the barrels, and leaves
particles in them.) about the cleaning rod. so
thick that you will have to press rather hard
to get it into the barrels then pump up and
down, changing the cloth till the water comes
out clear then pour hot water in them, stop
ping up the nipples, and turn the muzzles
downward. Then put on dry cloth, and
work till you can feel the heat through the
barrels, and the cloth comes out without a
particle of moisture on it. Then put few
drops of clarified oil (made by putting rusty
nails into some good salad oil,) on the cloth
and rub the outsdes rub the outsides all
over and then put the gun away.-Porter's 5

AN INTERNATIONAL FIGHT.-A native of
the Emerald Isle, who had taken up his abode
in this country, and had found wife here,
was blessed, in due course of time, with a
family. His oldest son, Patrick, having been
born on Liberty's soil, deemed himself a
Native American, and as such joined the
procession of the Natives. His father saw
him in the ranks and became enragcd.
When Pat came home to get his dinner, his
father seized him by the collar and raising
his cowhide over his head, exclaimed:
"Tll tache you to oppose your parents and
to go perumbulating the streets with
Natives +" and down came the cowhide with
savage severity.
Pat, somewhat disconnected, ran from the
house, and narrated the tale of his woes,
adding in conclusion:
~ don't mind the licking, but the idea of
being whipped by a rascally foreigner is
more than can standP

HAREs TAKING THEIR GN.-The Gazette OF
Cambray, gives an amusing account of a
party of Intoxicated hares. Fifteen of these
creatures are said to have entered garden
attached to disfIl1ery in the neighborhood
of Lille, and haying eaten the bark of the
hoops, or some other substance saturated
with alcohol, performed exceedingly fantastic
tricks, leaping, tnmbling. and screaming in
the most extraordinary manner. The work
men, who were witnesses of the scene, broke
ont into peals of laughter, but nothing
frightened the hares, who had got their grog
on board, and were full of Dutch courage
The whole of them were subsequently made
prisoners.

A SToRK SToRY.-Mr. Horace Mayhem, in
his new work OH Jutland, tells the following
story: An English manufacturer, settled
somewhere in Zealand, amused himself by
changing the. eggs laid by stork, who
annually built her nest on his house, for
those of an owl. In due course of time the
eggs were Matched, and he was startled one
morning by tremendous row going on in
the nest of the parent storks. The male, in
a violent state of excitement, few round and
round his nest; the female chartered away
it was quite evident that the stork was not
satisfied with the produce of his helpmate
there was something louche about the whole
affair; he would not recognize the offspring.
After violent dispute the male flew away,
and shortly returned, accompanied by two
other storks birds of consequence aud dig
nifty. They sat themselves down on the roof,
and listened to the pros aud cons of the
matter. Mrs. Stork was compelled to rise
and exhibit her children. "Can they be
mine ?" exclaimed the stork "happen what
may, will not recognize them" On her
side Mrs. Stork protested and fiuttered, and
vowed it was all witchcraft-never had stork
possessed SO faithful wife before. Alas
alas how seldom the gentle sex meets with
justice in this world when judged by man,
or in this case, by stork-king The judges
looked wondrous wise, consulted, and then
of sudden, without pronouncing sentence,
regardless of shrieks for mercy, fell on the
injured Mrs. Stork, and pecked her to death
with their long sharp beaks. AS for the
young owls, they would not defe their bills
by touching them, so they kicked them out
of the nest, and they were killed by the
tumble. The father stork, broken-hearted,
Quilted his abode, and never again returned
to his former building place.

BoILlNG, BRoILING, ROASTING AND FRYING.

BOILING, BRoILING, ROASTING AND FRYING
when meats are boiled in water, cOnsid-
erable portion of the nutriment is dissolved
out, and owing to the fact that water cannot
be s.ated above 2l2, except under pressure,
it is often difficu... TO heat the meat enough
by boiling to disorganize Its fbers and make
it tender. If it be necessary to soak out
salt, pitt meat into cold water and let them
be gradually heated. But when it is desired
to retain the juices, the water should be
made boiling hot before the meat is put in,
so as to close the pores, or coagulate the
albumen upon the surface. To obtain the
best broth, let the meat be put into cold or
aukewarm water, aud kept for long time
below the boiling point. better plan still
is to cut the meat very fine, put it in bottle,
cork it tight, and then place the bottle in
kettle of water, and boil it thus for q con-
siderable time.
When meats are broiled on gridiron over
hot Goals, the sudden high heat applied sears
the outside, which shuts in the juices, and
the rapid application of heat soon cooks
the meat through, if in moderately thin
pieces. tits then tender, juicy and palatabe.
Those who never broil their fresh meat, or
fish, or poultry, do not know the excellencies
of a properly cooked dish of animal food.
OF all methods Of cooking fresh meats,
whether fish, flesh, or fowls, broiling is the
best-provided always that the cook is active
and intelligent enough to handle the gridron
and meat dexterously, so as not to make
charcoal of an atom, and yet quickly cook
every part Of the meat sufficiently to suit the
taste of the consumer.
Roasting meat, in an oven, is next to brol-
ing, and generally preferable in the hauds of
n careless, or slow, or inexperienced cook.
But piece of meat. to be roasted well,
should he put into an oven already hot, so as
to scar the surface in order to retain the
juices. The heat should afterwards be kept
as high as possible without actually charring
or burning the meat. The higher the heat,
and the more rapid the cooking, the tender
er will be the meat. A long, slow roasting,
is next door to "tanning."
Frying in pan or spider is the worst
mode of cooking meats, except for tasteless
fish, or meats which are so much like chips
as to require soaking in fat to render them
at all palatabe. Swine eating Gentiies do
we'll to fry their pork, to fry out' consd-
erable proportion of the lard-though we
have never beeu able to appreciate the good
taste or digestibility OF the soaked scraps
left after frying piece of pork in the usual
process.

ALWAYS DROP THE H.-A schoolmaster,
hearing one of his scholars read: the boy
when he came to the word "honor," and pro-
nounced it full; the master told him it
should be pronounced without the H, as
thus, ''onor."
"Very well, sir" replied the lad, II will
remember this in future
"Aye," said the master, "always drop the
H.
The next morning the masters tea with a
hot muffin had been brought to his desk
but the duties of his vocation made him
wait till it was cold, when addressing the
same boy, he told him to take it to the fire
and heat it.
'Yes sir" replied the boy, aud taking it
to the fire ate it. Presently the master call
ed for the muffin.
81 have eat it, as you bade me-" replied
the boy.
"Eat it, you scoundrel bade you take
it to the fire and heat it,"
But sir" answered the lad, yesterday
you told me always to drop the H."

No NRwspAPERs.-Th city of Messina, in
Sicily, with population of 100000, has
several theaters, but "nary" newspaper.
Now one would very naturally suppose that
this great city could very we'll sustain two
or three irst-class dailies, half dozen
weeklies, and at least one magazine. But,
lest some adventnrous speculating Yankee
should be tempted to take out a ten-cylinder
Hoe press, with a full corps of Italian editors
and reporters, it would at first be well to
consider that. of the 100000 population, not
more than 1000 can read and, of these, one
half have no taste for reading, and the other
halfare too poor to purchase newspapers. The
cause Of this intellectual poverty may be
found in the fact that they have no schools,
either public or private. Nature has lavished
her bounties upon the place, but man has
done comparatively nothing.-New York
Printer.

ANTICIPATING DEFEAT.-The Charleston
Courier is not so hopeful as many of it's
southern contemporaries of the powers of
Southern troops. 1t says in its issue of June
9th:
We should prepare for defeat. In the
confidence of our might and courage this
admonition may appear unnecessary, and IN
calling to mind the disgraceful behavior of
our enemy in recent battles, may appear
ridiculous. But it is needfu and whole
some caution, and we urge it with sincerity
and earnestness. Our enemies are muster
ing in large numbers; they are armed with
the best weapons they have been under the
instructions of competent officers, and each
body is strengthened by the presence of old
U. S. regulars. Some of their Generals
have ability and resources. And in addition
to all these considerations, battles are not
always decided by strategy or courage. A
single mischance may turn the tide of success.
A circumstance, in itself insignificant, may
snatch victory from an army at the moment
IT is about to grasp the glittering prize.

A pious old deacon used TO inspire us with
so much awe by the sanctity of his manner,
that we dared not say our soul was our own
