To Put up strawberries, etc.


We have had all Winter, and are
still using, some of last years crop of
strawberries, in excellent order and
flavor. They were chiefly kept il.
Potter & Bedine's Jars, the most con-
venient, and every thing considered,
the best of the twenty odd Ainds We
have tried thus far. MANY patent jars
promising we'll have cost us loss OF
time, fruit, aud sugar, to find out that
they were poor. The porcelain-lined
iron jars are the best of all, but are
rather too costly for general use,
though possibly chsapes, in the long
run.) The best plan is, to Jill the jars
with strawberries, then pour in a
syrup made by boiling ] fb. toll fb.
white sugar in quart OF water. The
Jars are then set down nearly to their
necks in cold or lukewarm water in a
wash boiler, and the water heated to
boiling. When the berries have had
time to barely cook through, the jars
are lifted out, and one is used to ill up
all shrinkage in the others, SO that they
shall be quite full. Wipe the top clean
with damp cloth while they are still
hot. The covers are then put on and
fastened tightly. Set into the cellar or
any cool room. We put up .l44 quart
jars last year, of different kinds of fruit,
and only lost by fermentation two bot
ties of tomatoes. When the above, or
other good jars, are not accessible,
common junk bottles, thoroughly
cleaned, or other glass bottles or jars,
may be used, as We know by many sue
oessfuI trials. Tightly fitting soft corks,
tied I'm, answer well for covers. IL i.
z best to make these surely air tight, b.,
dipping the corks and necks when dry,
but still hot, into a cement made by
melting together an ounce of lard aud
about pound Of rosin. Simple bees
wax, or grating wax, will answer.
The fruit may be first cooked with a
small quantity of syrup, in porcelain
lined, or even timed vessel, and then
dipped into the previously warmed jars
or bottles, sealing up as soon as the air
bubbles have risen ard their place is
filled with more cooked fruit. This
mode is more convenient, but does not
preserve the shape and flavor of The
fruit as well as the other way. The
smaller the amount of sugar, the better
will the natural flavor be preserved.
We use just sugar enough to BIT the fruit
for the table.
The above directions answer for
other berries, cherries, peaches, and
for other fruits, except that pears,
ounces, cherries, etc., require longer
cooking to heat them through. Toma-
toes need boiling down one half, both
to save room and to make them keep
well. The above method is infinitely
better and cheaper than the old mode
of preserving with large and unnec-
essary quantity OF sugar.

Thoughts.
BY ELLolsE.

The world is very [" fair " to-day;
Sweet music swept from Springs glad lutte.
Comes to me like an angels lay,
Must my full heart be hushed and mutel
No. no, let me but sing again;
The beauty seen in earth aud air
Calls from my soul low refrain
That long has suffered silent there.
No longer Winters icy feet
Press down the velvet grass and flowers,
And in a. snowy windingsheet
Enraps this lovely earth Of onrs.
The sceptre from his hand is gone
His crownless head low in the tomb,
Where Spring. as she has often Zone,
Stands with her censor of perfume.
Though "grave-stones standing here and there
Point out the spot where loved ones rest,
In meekness We the sorrow bear;
God doeth all things for the beat
There is grave have not seen,
Where young poet dreanless sleeps,
On which mild Luns, nights fair queen,
Looks from her star-gemmed throne and weeps.
o, CORTLAND, could call tee up
To life and beauty once again,
Gladly I'd quaff the fatal cup;
Thou shoudst be spared and be slain
How vain, alas this may not be:
The buds that sumbered in the earth
Spring up and seem but mockery,
For in my heart they wake no mirth.
Pale April, vlolet-crowned, will knesl
Upon the sud where be lies low:
While clouds upon her brow will steal.
And break, and tears like rain will flow.
Pve said the world was fair +" TO day,
That beauty allied the earth and air;
But, thinking of that grave say,
If were only sleeping therel
Yes, gladly would lay me down,
And sleep there with tbs quiet dead,
To have thee near the loyal crown,
Thy glorious young life perfected.

THE FOREST PILLS neither grippe weaken
i the system. This is because they contain no
deleterious drugs minerals, but are extracts of
plants which are as wholesome as the food we eat.
A CURE Is CERTAIN, and they cure without
weakening the system or affecting the bowels but
slightly, except in full doses, when they purge
thoroughly, but without gripping pains, or producing
weakness
1T IS FOLLY to use gripping, drastic purgatives;
such drugs weaken and destroy the tone of the
stomach and bowels. Never weaken the system.
The stronger the vital functions, the more power
have they to throw off disease when assisted by
good medicine.
MILLIONS OF BOXES
Of the FOREST PILLS have been used with the
most happy results. Letters and certificates from
every part of the Union and British Colonies
testifying to the good effects. and the cures Of
thousands from their efficacy, have been received.
READER! L never knew single instance where
the FOREST PILLS have been taken according to
the directions but they produced the most decided
benefit. Even in old standing complaints, where
the patient persevered in them for reasonable
length of time, they have effected cure in every
instance which has come to my knowledge. 1t
should be understood that the FOREST PILLS are
not made from common drugs as all other pills are,
but that they are prepared from the medicinal vir
tues of certain plants, which nourish and purify
the blood as food does the body. will mention,
for example, three of these plants, which well
known: DANDELION, YELLOW DOCK, and
SARSAPARlLI4A. The others are found growing
wild in the forests, and their medicinal properties
are ten times more effective than those | have
named Were it not for making known the secret
of valuable discovery, | would not hesitate to
give their names. Suffice it to say, that the midi
cinal efficacy of one of those was discovered from
its of horrible of Scrofua in about three
weeks time.
READER! if you do not want your constitution
injured by that slow lurking poison, Calomel, or
other mineral substances, touch no uncertain COM
pounds of common drugs, but get this excelen,
and purely vegetable remedy, HALSEY'S FOR
