BOILED Corn FOR Hoas.-Writing
to the Prairie Farmer, VIM. Van
Loom says that he has practiced feed
ing boiled corn to his stock and hogs,
and is Satisfied that he saves one-half
his grain, and gains as much more in
time;' that one bushel Of corn on the
cob, boiled, will produce as much as
two fed raw, and in one-half the time.
In one experiment he fed three bushels
of boiled corn per day to twenty-seven
hogs, for ten days. The average gain
was two pounds per day. He then fed
the same lot of hogs on two bushels
of raw corn per day, for twenty days
they gained mere triAe over one
pound per day. These were small
young hogs-larger ones would have
fattened better.

WARNED OVER MEATs.-Boiled OF
roast veal makes a nice dish chopped
fine and warmed up, with just sufficient
water to moisten it, and littles butter.
salt and pepper added. Fresh OF
corned beef is good minced fine, with
boiled potatoes, and warmed up with
salt, pepper and little water; add
butter Just before you take it up. Some
folks use the gravy that they have left
the day before for the meat, but it is
not as good when warmed over, and
there is no use of its being wasted as
it can be clarified and used for other
purposes. Boiled onions or .turnips are
good mixed with mipce meat, instead
of potatoes. Veal, lamb and mutton
are good cut into small strips, and
warmed with boiled potatoes cut in
slices, pepper, salt, a little water

A RECIPE FOR CoNTENTMENT.-Tr

A RECIPE FOR CONTENTMENT.-Try
to compute your artificial wants
the. number of things which you
fancy come under the list of "must
haves" merely because other people
possess them, and not because you
would not be quite as well off and as
happy in their absence. Try it for one
week, whenever your fingers are temp
ted to daily with your purse strings.
Record in your memorandum book,
what, in view of this, you sensibly re.
solve not to buy, and see what nice
little sum will be left you for real
necessaries. 1t is seldom by these last
that ore is hampered and annoyed.
Make the experiment, and see if it is
not so. A just economy is not niggard-
illness; one need not be miser in
avoiding the extravaganza of spend
thrift.

A Good Word from France.

From lie New York Times, Get 9.
The French journals think more of our
success at Hatteras Inlet than did those on
the other side Of the Channel. The Deb0ts
of the 18th September, welcomes it as a
decided victory for the cause which has
naturally all our sympathes." The kindly
tone OF the subjoned paragraph shows how
gladly they will hear OF other victories to
the national arms
For the first time since the commence.
ment OF the war, the news from America
(received under date of 9th Sep:ember) is
favorable to the Union party. The feat of
arms at Hatteras, which cannot but be of
great importance, greatly brightens the
chances of the cause which has naturally
all our sympathy, as We believe it has that
of all Europe"
The Woniteur, too, continues to publish
frequent letters from the United States, per-
j vaded by an Enthusiastically friendly spirit
towards the Union cause. In a late one it
rejoices over the Hatteras affair as "signal
victory" for the government, and the writer,
who is understood to be gentleman in the
suite of Prince Napoleon, in another letter
from Washington. reviewing the mill
tary organization OF the army of the PotO~
mac, declares the northern soldiers have Sat
once the dash OF the French and solidity of
the English"
We are unable to repuolish these articles
on account of the pressure OF matter on

May GOD in safety keep him,

My heart is pining to see him.

Ny heart is weary with waiting,
And sick Of the long delay.
But know his country needs him,
And could not bid him stay.

And how his color came.
When the flash from the guns of Sumpter
Lit the whole land with flame,
And darkened our cOuntry's banner,
With the crimson hue OF shame.
"Mother." he said. then faitered-
felt his mute appeal;
paused-it you are a mother.
You know what mothers feel,
When called to yield their dear ones
To the cruel bullet and steel.
Ny heart stood still for q moment,
Struck. with mighty woe:
a faint OF death came o er me-

But ! sterny checked my weakness,
and firmly bade him Go.
Wherever the fight is fercest
know that my boy viii be;
Wherever the need is screst
OF the strOut arms OF the free,
May he prove as true to his country
As ne has been true TO ne.

Ny heart bereit oijoy-

But God has been good to the mother
She shall not blush for her boy.

THE TEXAN SOLDIERS.

Several of the Texan soldiers sent 20 West
Point have deserted. The mouotony ard
inactivity Of garrison life does not suit them
after their frontier experience. 1t Is very
seldom that an old soldier can remain con.
tentedly at northern post after he has
spent few years at the South or West. In
his estimation the freedom and excitement
of frontier soldering more than counter
balance the hardships and privalions be is
often forced to endure.

A New Confidence Came

men was Char4s Henry Foster, who made
great professions OF loyalty to the General
the rapid increase OF the Union sentiment
in the old North State, and also promised
TO raise brigade Of volunteers in that
state 10 crush Out secession. He, conse~
quently, acquired very speedily a newspaper
notoriety, if nothing more. The other five
said-to-have-be en-eected representatives
from North Carolina have not yet appeared
at the National Capital; Or if they have,
they have been eclipsed by the glare of Mr.
Fosters glory. But this latter person seems
to have suddenly fallen into disrepute.
His statements about the political sentia
ment OF his State, it is strongly hinted are
untrue, ard that as to his raising any vol
unteers there, more doubts exist than about
Du ChailIu's Gorilas; indeed, it is said
that he has not been 10 the State for six or
eight months, and that he is seriously sus
pected OF playing confidence game for tie

The Rebel ship Bermuda

The \. York Tribune obtains information
about the rebel ship Bermuda from "a ger
tleman arrived last week from Savannah"
who is vouched for as a man in whose word
implicit reliance may be placed" The I}j-
bnne says:
Mr.. Edward G. Andersen, ex-Mayor of
Savannah, went over to England in Lord
Ducie's yacht America, which was. if our
memory serves us, in the port OF Charleston
sometime in June. for the express purpose of
buying arms The Bermuda was sent out
by Mr. A nderson, aud brought $500 Eafeld
rifles purchased by him. This, We under
stand from our informant, is only one install.
ment of Mr.. Andersons purchases, as three
to five more steamers are looked for with
confidence at Savannah, all to bring arms.
The Bermuda gets, of course, high freight

larger on return cargo OF cotton, should

in getting in ; and the double chance of a
