the produesion is not diminished; | kant

of poor but industrious parents, and are
brought up with great care under the aus

Going to Church.

Miss L. lived great distance
from the church of which she was mem
Der. She had wealth, carriage, horses,
and a coachman, yet she never employed
either to convey her to public worship,
unless the weather was unfavorable or
her health failed. Yet she was always
in her place before the pastor had entered
his pulpit. A friend inquired:
GLOW is it that you who live so far,
always come earlier than many who live
so near by?"
perhaps" replied Miss L l., ''it
is because it is part Of my religion moi
to disturb the religion of Others
"And you SO seldom ride to church. ]
should think you would be too wearied
with such long walk to enjoy the servi-
ces. If had a carriage I would use it.
"But my coachman has soul to save

Mount Sinai as binding now as in the

An Original AnecdOte.

The Portland Argus relates that Capt
K, a shrewd steamboat captain from the
State of Maine, caught Jeremy Diddler'
on board his boat one day, as he vas ma
king from Boston to down east, and PIN
ned him up in good style. 1t seems the
fellow laid traverse to get clear Of pay
ing his fare, and insisted to the clerk that
be had paid but lost his ticket
Whom did you pay?' asked the clerk,
lie rather guessed it was the captain;
so K. was summoned to the conference.
'Oh, yes, yes,' said Capt, K, Sit tappears
to me / do recollect. Let me see, you
gave me FIVE dollar bill?'
Yes says the Diddler, Il did,
And | gave yeu change in half dollars
didn't r. (The fare was only half dol
lar competition was high.)
Yes says Jeremy, that's i'll recol-
lect itperfectly.'
Very well," says Capt K, Il won't
dispute your word for anything-but il
you please, l should like to see the halves
The fellow was tripped when he least
expected it, He could not produce the
halves, and had to fork out his fare.

DOMESTIC RECEIpTs-To MAKE HARD
SoAP-Pour four gallons of boiling wa
ter over. six pounds of washing soda (sal
soda) and three pounds of unslacked
lime. Stir the mixture we'll, aud let it
settle until it is perfectly clear. 1t is
better to let it stand all night. as il
takes some time for the sediment to set
tie. When clear, strain the water, put
six pounds of fat with it, and boil for two
hours, stirring it most Of the time. If il
does not seem thin enough, put another
gallon of water on the grounds, stir and
drain off, and add as is wanted to the
boiling mixture. Its thickness can be
tried by occasionally putting little on
a plate to COOL Stir in handful of salt
just before taking it off the fire. Have a
tub ready soaked, to prevent the SOAP
from Sticking, pour it in, and let it settle
until solid, when you will have from the
above quantity of ingredients about forty
pounds of nice white soap.

A. waSanticipated, the loyal people

now remains TO be seen what course
Mr.. Johnson win pursue. .All good cit

pie, and "a tAe futurewill cordially CO.
operate with the legislative branch OF
the government. Herein lies the spec,

of grace, harmony and increased pros

And ii isthediotate efcommon sense
that the citizens ofthe Ssuthern States

than BY the persecution or Southern
Unionists and the stubborn parsizan
resistance TO Congressional action.
The results Of the election in New
York CITY should not encourage tho
South TO hope that Mr.. Johnson viii
be sustained in pursuing his policy.
The $1,000 votes which Mr.. Hoffman
received in the great Metropolis of the
North should not be construed as of
political significance. Rum, not INV
.palicy, sas the controlling motive of
not less than $1,000 voters. The liquor
deAriefs Of that great city had an eve
TO business and voted for Hoffman be-
cause ne favored their trade. Such
men vote tor interest and not for prin-
cipt. Their vote has little Significance
III national affairs. They are not pa
triois. They stand ready To cast their
ballots for the candidate who will pro-
mote their peculiar business, whether
Democrat or Republican. Neverthe-
less, ii is an alarming fact that the in-
terests ofsuch men are eoincident with
the interests of the Democratic party,
and that AIR. Johnson is supported by
just such men. .s.t
Viewed as a whole, the late election
has re-assured the loyal people of this
great country. AL experience a relief
now thai it is over. All rejoice i'm the
grand results. All anticipate the spec
