A NEw WAT TO Cook BEEF.-When you get hold of q good thing, it is we'll to " com municate.' Having learned this method of cooking beef within few years, we find it so much the best way that no week elapses with out a meal of beef steaming on our table.
 To steam beef procure cast iron pot ef large dimensions, having at the bottom shoul- der, which is found in most large pots at the point where the diameter is diminished to fit the hole in the stove. Across this hole you place some pieces of shingles; then fill up the pot to the shingIe with water, adding few pieces of lemon peal or a little mace it you please place the meat upon the shingles j; cover up tight with fitted tin cover; place over a hot fire and wait till done. You must be careful to add water occasionally, for if it should all boil away, of course the gravy would be burned, and the flavor of the meat injured. When finished, the bottom of u . pot contains large quantity of most excellent gravy, which, of course, must be thickened and seasoned.
 A rump of beef or shoulder, forms an ex- cellent piece to operate on. Mutton is also fine. Try it, Country Gentleman.

 Our fathers names are written OCT When would see our flag unroll

To A. .Bn1DE.-The following letter was writ ten by an old friend to young lady on the eve of her wedding day:
 have sent you few flowers to adorn the dying moments of your single life. They are friendship They spring up by our side when found watching over our graves when those who should cherish have forgotten us. It seems that past, SO calm and pure as yours, should expire with kindred sweetness about it that flowers and music, kind friends and earnest words, should consecrate the hour when sentiment is passing into sacrament.
 The three great stages of our being are the birth, the bridal and the burial. To the first we bring only weakness--for the last we have nothing but dust But here. at tho altar. where lite joins life, the pair come throbbing up to the holy man, whispering the deep promise that arms each others heart to help on in the life struggle of care and duty. The beautiful will be there, borrowing new beauty from the scene. The gay and the frivolous, they and their Aounces, will look solemn for once. And youth will come to gaze on all its sacred thoughts pant for; and will totter up to hear the old words repeated, that to their own lives have given the charm. Some will weep over it as if it were tomb, and some laugh over it as if it were joke; but t,oo must stand by it, for it is fate, not fun, this everlasting locking of their livesl
 And now, can you, who have queened it over so many bending forms, can you come down to the frugal diet of single heart Hitherto you have been a clock giving your time to all the world. Now you are g watch, buried in one particular bosom, warming only his breast, making only his hours, and ticking only to the beat of his heart--where time and feeling shall be in. unison, until these lower ties are lost in that higher wedlock where all hearts are united around the Central Heart of all. et Hoping that calm and sunshine may hallow your clasped hands, sink silently into sig natur-.

BRATTEBoRo CEMETERY.--0n one OF
our recent pleasan, days we took an inter-
esting walk through Brattleboro Genet cry.
We had not been in it before for several
years. /; has been greatly improved and
beautified in the last few years, and is no
doubt among the most interesting in the
State and New England. Some of the
more recent monuments are of exec eding
beauty of style and appropriateness. II is
very pleasantly located south OF the village,
on rise of ground overlooking the town
and the river and many of the lots show
tender care and regard for the dead.
Though late in The season, we found the
sexton still at work improving the grounds.
We believe be is employed there most of
the time, except in the winter, and the APP
pearance of the cemetery shows how we'll
a nd faithful he does his work. 1t was first
used as burying ground in 1896. and is
supposed now TO contain about three thou
sand graves. Visitors cannot fail TO be in
tie rested and well paid for walk through
these grounds.
