4 Drying Pumpkins.i

We love pumpkin pie: especially when
there is not an abundance of tree fruit
We have tried all modes Of, drying, but
no plan is equal we think, to this: Take
the ripe pumpkin; pdre, ccat into small
pieces, stew soft, mash and strain throu Oh
cullendsr, as if for making pies Spread
this pulp on plates in layers not quite an
inch thick; dry it down in The stoye oven,
kept at SO low Q temperature as not to
scorch it, The sheets thus made can be
slowed away in dry place, and they ara

Soak the pieces, over night in little
milk, and they will retnrn to nice pulp,
as s;delcious as fresh pumpkiu-we think
much more SO. The quick drying after
cooking prevents any portion from slight
ly souring, as is always the ease when
the uncooked pies are dried !; the favor is
much better preserved, and the after
cooking is seved. This plan is quite as
little trouble as the old mode, to say moth.

OILINa CIDER. w hen a barrel of ci-
der is tapped, ID grows hard that's, more
and moroaeid, until it gets too hard to
drink, if it is kept long on. tap. This is
occasioned BY the air, which Glls the cask
above the cider as fast as it is drawn out.
The air cannot be excluded, even if the
cask was alright, because the cider will
not run from the tap if there is no air to
press it out. III cider is exposed long to
air, it will become vinegar. In fact, the
way to make vinegar Of cider is to expose
it to the air as much as possible. To pre-
vent the cider on tap from becoming acid,
it is recommended as soon as q gallon or
two is drawn out, to pour in the bung-
hole about half pint Of clear sperm oil,
or sweet oil if It itisApreferred. Il should
be warm when poured 10, and it will
spread in thin coat over the surface, and
keep spreading as the cider is drawn
down, and thus exclude the air, without
giving any taste Of oil to the cider.
This plan of preserving cideris worthy
of further attention. We have faith in II
from knowing that oil casks are the best
we know oflfor storiug cider, inparting no
favor, and keeping it sound as bottled ci-
der for years. Old oil-casks are more val
ulbls for. cider-sasks than for any other
purpose we know Of, !. ~,

Management Of Cuttings,

~
,rvThe following directions by Mr., Al 8.
Fuller, on the management sof cuttings,
made at recent meeting of the Brooklyn
Hortieultural Society, will be interesting
to pur practical readers :.,jtu,l r. a5i,cs4i.s
Hardy cuttings-that is from outdoor
hardy wooded plants, such as currants,
will succeed bsst if made in sSspteGber
when the wood IS ripe; they are cut just
under an eye or bud and left about six
inches long--planttd in rows about two
inches a, part in the rows by spring they
will be ready to make large growth. Be
sureto pack the earth in tight at the bot
tom of the cutting or they will not sue
cecd. In this way most OF the hardy out
door plants can be propagated, such as the
Rose of Sharon, Spireas, Deutzias, &c
For the grape two eyes are best, the top
one nearly covered. ;,4,v =
The Delaware grape, which is one Of
the, hardest vines to propagate, can be
readily done by taking small cuttings be-
fore the frost and planting where they are
to grow, covering we'll during the winter
with leaves, &c., and by spring they will
be well calloused over and ready to make
good shoots. OF soft-wooded plants, take
off part Of the old wood along, and they
will root more readily. Ounce and other
things of that kind will do better this way.
Evergreens, such as the Arbor Vitae, Ju-
niper, &c, if small cuttings are put in a
frame outdoors and covered with sash,
whitewashed, they will grow very easily.
Some kinds of plants will grow best aud
only from cuttings of the roots, such as
the Paulownia, Spireas, Blackberries, &c.
Peach will grow in Georgia from cuttings,
but here the winters are too long and cold.
The most favorable state for cuttings to
grow in, is when the roots will form and
not produce any foliage. Layers are SO
near cutting that he said he would men.
tion few ways that were practically
behding branch down and covering with
earth late in the fall, they will root the
first year, to facilitate the roofing they
partly cut through, so that the earth can
como in contact with the inner bark
He showed a Pink which had been trea-
ted in that way in August, and now it
was u perfect mass of roots, and ready to
be separated from the old plant and put
in pot; if this had not been cut, it
would not have rooted in two years.
Layers from evergreens can only be made
while the sap is in full yigor, for if cut at
any other time, they viii throw out the
resinous matter and prevent the sap from
forming roots, This is. why SO few of
the gardeners succeed in raising choice
evergreens. ,.s, ., :...t ..it.=,.

A Postal Incident.

A Young man from the rural district went
10 tho post office the other day, with bank
note for dollars worth of stamps. He was
told that paper money was not received, He
went for Spanish quarters.
1--WE don't receive them now," said the
attendant "for more than twenty cents
piece"
The countryman thought Uncle Sam
mighty particular, SO he went and obtained
dollars worth of coppers.
"Now," said he on returning to the Office
and laying down his pile on the window Of
the delivery. IL guess can suit you."
The man inside looked at tho display of
coppers and coolly replied:
1--WE never take more than three cents in
coppers at one time-it is not legal tender
above that sum-"
The countryman looked at the composed
official for the space Of a minute without stir
ring, and then bleaeAed out;
look here, you--ain't you mighty kind
Of particular, for fellows backed up in such a
Jail as this ere You don't take only three
gents in coppers. heyl Well. then, s'pose
you give me three cents worth Of stamps,
anyhow"
The official very politely tore him off sin,
gle stamp, and passed it out, for which the
countrynan laid down three cents. He was
about to pass away, when the latter cried out ,
La,k here, you! That ere's one time.
Now spose you give me three cents worth
more Oh 'rm''
Uncle Sans clerk was not slow in discov-
ering he had caught Tartar. He turned
back to the window and asked,
How many coppers have you got Z"
"Well. only about ninety-sevon Of 'em. l
had hundred when begun"
Pass them in," was the gruf reply.
Pass out your stamps fust, and then l
will; but reckon you won't ketch me agail..
The stamps were passed out and the cop
rers handed over, when the countryman went
off saying;
"S'pose because fellow holds Office under

The Rumored Plot Against Napoleon.

The report Of the plot against the life Of
Napoleon is thus given in detail by the Paris
correspondent of the London Star, II
As there is now, for a wonder, some reas0p
to think that there is basis Of truth for
this report, do not feel the same hesitation
about going into some details wbsa~spsakmR
Of it. The story goes that fifteen nsn. aimed

peror was to be passing. If one failed in
carrying out his object, the second was ia

if the second failed. the third was to have
taken his place, and 70 on till cne of the fifteen

know whether it is the truth or not, that al
the conspirators have escaped, and that the
Government is in state Of great alarm. 3 9de
Az for the Parisians, they are. from the I
Arch Of Triumph to the Darrisse de- .Trons.
and from Montmartrs to the Banisre du Maine,
calling to minde the clairvoysnt's prediction
that terrible catastrophe is to occur about
the end Of the decade which commenced with
the destruction of the republic. ! know

which is to come off on the 9TH Of December,
lest they should meet with stray prcjectile.
Several ladies. ] am told. also refused to or.

December shall be tided over by the Govern.
ment in safety, so as not to have their ward
robes filed with useless finery in case any
public catastrophe should meanwhile take
place. The feeling which prevails here can
only be compared to the panic which some
years 81 since took place in different parts Of
the United Kingdom. in consequence Of some
sensation preachers having announced that,
according to their calculation Of the ptophe-
cies, the world would bs destroyed on a. oes-
tain day. The Emperor. it is believed by
many Of his subjects, is also influenced BY the
same fears as to what the end Of the decade
may have in store for him. The Emperor.
also. by always protesting to believe in fate
or destiny, has done much to originate tho
popular superstition Of which I speak. Other
papers, however. discredit the rumor. :
