Receipts for Cooking Tomatoes.


Stered Tomatoes the tomatoes into a
timed saucepan, season with pepper and salt,
and place bits of butter over the top; put on the
lid close and stew twenty minutes. After this,
stir frequently, letting them stew ill well DONE
This is excellent with roast beef or mutton.
Tomato PreScTUeS-Take the round, yellow
variety, as soon as ripe, scald and peel; then to
seven pounds of tomatoes add seven pounds Of
white sugar, and boil the sirup, removing the
scum; put in the tomatoes and boil gently fifteen
OF twenty minutes; remove the fruit again and
boil until the sirup thickens. On cooling, put
the fruit into jars and pour the sirup over it and
add a few slices Of lemon to each Jar, and YOU
will have something to please the taste of the
most fastd0us.
Tomato Catsup-Take ripe tomatoes and
scald them Just sufficient TO allow you take of
the skin, then let them stand for day covered
with salt; strain them thoroughly to remove the
seeds, then to every two quarts add three ounces
of cloves, two Of black pepper, two autmegs
and very little cayenne pepper, with a little
salt; boil the liquor for half an hour, and then
let it cool and settle; add pint of the best cider
vinegar, after which bottleit, corkinr and seal
ing it tightly. keepit always in a cool place.
Tomatoes thoroughly cooked may be put in
tight cans and kept any length of time, or pulp
may be spread upon plates and dried in the sun
or a slow oven and kept rs well as dried pump
kins, dried apples, peaches or pears, and will be
found equally excellent in winter We beg of
those who use this excellent fruit to try what
cooking will do for it. Il has been eaten half

And she smiliHgiy remarked,
AsIsat down by her side,
Sized come ont TO lake walk,
Bat thought she'd take ride.
The conductor touched the bell,
And the driver touched each steed,
And we rode along quite pleasantly
at lively rate Of speed
For when riding on rail
Tie law is quite ignored,
By which drivers OF fact hoIses

She spoke Of many things

And lost &c in q dream

Or kittens lspping cream.

When drst stepped in the car,

That che was not goiIg far,
But as she ne'er had ridden

She th.ught she'd like to try it,
For a square or twO-or more.
Shed something in her arms
She begged that would hold,
Then paid me for my gIllantry
With smiles priced more than gold,
As plAcing in my hands
A pack5ge, which thought,

All beWildered and tntTanced
By the smuiDg little elf,

And forgot my very self
For, 'lis very pleasant riding

Who lrits 10 be enchanting-
Asthat little beauty tt eu.

Which myself could see
But III owa they we're not many

And 90 saCly turned my bIAin

A young Lieutenant, of the Baltimore Line, %
rode up to me and said 'Hon are riding d-n
fine horse. You are my prisOner-cOme with
me-" So off we started back to Winchester
alOne he allowing me to ride my horse to town
+ We went around to one of his friends and left
our horses. He then asked me if l wished to
60 any place to get something to eat. / told
him l did, and where / wanted to 60 he told me
to 20 on, and he would eallaFound after awhile
then made a break for the house of my
Susan" The citizens. along the streets were
little suspicious to see me BY myself, and the
Rebel soldiers, as ] passed them, stared at me,
as much as to say, S'who are you, old fel-
low that you are allowed to run around here
with impunity2" / arrived at the residence of
my "duck" Just in time to be too late for break
/ fast. She soon went to work and it was not long
till had a taste of Southern hospitality. "They
were very sorry that ! was a prisoner had
hoped would get through" etc. Ny captor
came around presently, stopped short time and
left, telling me to remain there till he called.
/ remained there till evening and had good
time l then went down to the Court House
where there were a few officers, among others
Mont. From there we were taken out to our
big fort, which was used for a prison. Our
treatment there was bad-had but little to eat.
Nv friends down town supplied me with plenty
Of everything, but it had TO be smuggled in. All
of my clothing was captured, except what 1 had
on, and one linen shirt. Weremained there till
"Wednesday evening, when fifteen hundred of us
started for Richmond, by way of Strausburg,
Woodstock, Mt. Jackson, New Market, Harri-
sonsburg and StauntOn, having the pleasing %
task before US Of walking to Stdunton-a dis
tance of one hundred miles. Now YOU may
imagine that that was anything but pleasant to
young man who never had walked ten miles in
his life, but determined to go through or die
in the attempt. So off we went, the officers
about five miles ahead OF US We marched
that night ten miles and halted in an open field
l there found Mont, he had given out and had
been riding in the ambulance I lay down on
the ground with an empty stomach, and nothing
over nor under me, and was soon sound asleep.
We we're called up early the next morning and
marched four miles before we had anything to
eat. ] then had to draw for cur men, one hun
dred and seventy-three. We got one pound of
flower and six ounces Of bacon to the man. That
