Mrs. frances ID. Gage, ("Aunt
Fanny,'') in late number of Field
Notes, gives the following seasonable
recipe for preserving Maple Molasses:
Good maple molasses is as desirable a
luxury in most families as straw wberries
and cream, and families in cities would
gladly give paying price for good
article. But the common method Of
stirring ob' IN cuhcs, is not the best way Of
preserving it.
Maple molasscs well made and put up
in cans right from the kettle, and her
n.etically sealed, as you would can and
seal fruits, will keep as fresh as when
first boiled from the sap, and this is de-
cidedly the best plan for keeping, as
when made in cakes, if exposed to the
air, 1t will lose somewhat of the pccu-
liarly deli ghtful flavor for which it is so
priced, and is often injured by insects.
All this is obviated by canning while
hot. To many families who do not
make on large scale, this need be but
little expense, as the cans that have
been emptied through the winter, can be
used until autumn fruits demand them

DO THEY MISS ME AT HOMES
BY A TRAVELLER.

Do they miss me at home? do they miss me?
Twould be an assurance most dear,
To know that my name was forgotten,
AS though had never been there.
To know that the tailor and landlord,
And the banks where my paper is due,
Aad hosts whom now cannot mention,
Had banished me quite from their view.
Do they miss me at home? do they miss me?
When the market for money is tight,
And collectors in haste are purs ling
Their debtors by day and by night?
Do the friends who once loaned me fifty,
And others who loaned me "ten,"
Heave sigh of regret as they miss me,
And wish they could see me again?
Do they miss me at home? do they miss me?
When nc longer I'm seen upon change;
And do those who are want to assist me
Cry, ''1is conducts Internally stranger
Does She Shy lock who loaned me his money,
To bear me to regions unknown,
Look in vain for occasion to dun me,
And wish l again were at home?
Do they miss me at home? do they miss me?
'Twould be an assurance most dear,
To know that my name was forgotten,
As though l had never been there
But l know that my memory fingers
Around the dear spot as roam,
And as long as I've wits and my creepers,
They'll miss me-they'll miss me at home.

ETERNITY.

Eternity is the only theme that con-
fuses, humbles the proud intellect of
man. What is it? The human mind
can grasp any defined length of time,.
however vast; but this is beyond time,
and too great for the limited conce ption
of man. 1t has no beginning, and it can
have no end. 1t cannot be multiplied,
it cannot be added unto; you may strive
to substract from it but it is useless
Take millions Of years from it, take all
the time that enters the compass of your
Imagination, it is still whole and undi-
minished as bcfore-all calculation is
lost.

The Rural New Yorker says: The
comparative value Of Carrots and oats,
for feeding purposes, is estimated at
about two Of the former to one of the
latter. An English agricultural ex
change says that four and two-thirds
pounds Of oats are estimated by y.analy ysis
to contain little over one pound Of flesh,
muscle and fat forming principles. To
equal that it will take of carrots nearly
nine pounds; of Aberdeen turnips, nearly
twenty pounds; and of Swedes near sew
enteen pounds, omiting minute fractions;
the quantity of oats being too small to
90 closer.
