A POT OF BAKED BEANS.
BY ZEN HORN.

.
How dear to my heart, on a fine Sunday morning,
When leaplng refreshed from my virtuous bed
To find brown platter my table adjoining,
My table with breakfast material spread,
A platter containing without stint of measure,
luxury suited to station and means,
Which view with emotions of exquisite pleasure
My darling, my favorite pot of baked beans;
My own darling pot, SO invltingly hot,
In thee what glorious treasure I've got.
How oft do pause to survey it minute
How crisp is the pork, how deliciously brown!
How madly plunge my pewter spoon in it,
And gratefully swallow the juicy mess down /;
Not the costliest dish or the richest extraction
OF turtle oerflowing in silver tureens,
Could afford me one quarter the high satisfaction
AS doth my dear, favorite pot of baked beans.
q O.! my rich beans and pork, I'm hungry as
hawk,
And soon will destroy you with spoon, knife
and fork. IA 3j-'i3 II -7'tA
How much respect the good soul that doth bake
2 thee, 1'tsA "a % 80
When HE to the bakers my treasure to claim
With shout of wild rapture, how gladly take
thee,
And pony up coppers TO pay for the same;
rush to my garrett and quickly devour it,
Forgetting the world and its treacherous sccncs
dig them all out and effectually scour it,, n go.

A writer con Furnishing, in London
Society, gives the following hints as to the
proper and tasteful furnishing of rooms
Our theory is that no one thing should
catch the eye. There should be harmony
throughout; and we would recommend
that great attention be paid to the color OF
the walls If they, the ceiling and the car
pet are we'll selected, all other points OF
detail are like the finishing touches of a
picture. The right tone having been at
tanned, the rest is comparatively easy.
We have found grays, light green's, and
pale mauve to work up well; and the less
pattern there is in the paper the better, un
less, for some special reason, a chintz pa
per is desired. If the room faces the
south, cool gray or mauve is good and
for north room we have seen yellowish
green answer admirably, imparting to the
room the appearance of sunshine.
As rule, we have found it best to avoid
reds, especially a dark red, which is often.
sively dingy.
Blue is dangerous color to use. 1t is
so apt to make a room either gaudy OF
cold !; though we have seen it effectively
used with pink, in order to give Pompa
dour look. .a @
For carpets we incline to small, molten
siye patterns, and generally avoid those
which are howery, as being in theory anG
effect bad
AS to the arrangement of the furniture i
is difficult to say much, as everything de
ponds upon what it consists OF. But WI
have generally found it desirable to keeI
the center of the room and the space be
fore the fire quite free, and to eschew /;
round table. If we must have one, W,
prefer pushing it into some corner of thu
the room anywhere but in the middle.
We once asked lady who was conspic
| uous for the excellent taste she Gisplayet
| in furnishing her rooms, wherein her sc
| cret lay, and she said that she invariabl,,
made it rule never to employ any one pei
son exclusively. She bought what sh
wanted wherever she could find it ; an
certainly the result was perfect. Their
was harmony and variety that wa
most pleasing.

Health of Cows.

bts Good health in domestic animals Is al,
ways matter of primary Importance.
AS bad health in parents transmits ten
dency to disease in the offspring, it is i'm
portant that every kind of animal we de-
sire to continue on our farms should be
kept vigorous and healthy. 49, s7a7 code
AS domestic animals are source of hui
man food, it is of great importance to pre-
serve them in healthy condition. Dis
eased meat carries its qualities into the
stomach OF its consumers. 1t is a serious
objection which vegetarians urge against
the use of animal food, that the artificial
circumstances in which animals live, ani
the bad treatment they receive, render
them unhealthy. As an unhealthy ANNA
does not consume food to as good advan
tage as well one, it is economical to avoi(
disease
AS comparative misery and discomfort
accompany disease, it is humane as we'll a
economical, to see that the animals unde
our care enjoy as far as possible their crea
ture comforts, z ei-ias 10 as9ui9l
Each of these circumstances is stuff
cient reason for guarding with scrupulou
care the health of the animals we feed
but when we derive milk from animals,
is doubly important that they are kept fire
from every Objectionable faint A sickl
cow not only yields diminished prof
but she yields sickly milk, and sickly i

The New Fan.

While travelling in Western Virginia,
happening one day 10 be in a dry goods
store situated in small village, an old
lady from the country came in. She pur-
chased several articles from the clerk, and
at length observing neatly painted and
vanished bellows hanging by post she
INQUIRED what it was. The clerk perceiving
that the old lady was rather ignorant, and
being somewhat of a wag, informed her
that it was new fan he had lately received
from the east at the same time taking the
bellows down and putting with it in his
face, telling her that was the mode of op-
Grafton. The old lady repeated the opera.
ton on herself, and was so delighted with
the new fan that she purchased it forthwith
and departed. ,45-sga
On the next day our informant the min
lister, had an appointment to preach at a
school house in the neighboring county.
The congregation being assembled, while
the minister was in the act of reading the
hymn, who should pop in but the old
woman with her new fashioned fan, and
having taken her seat she Immediately
commenced putting away in good earnest.
The congregation knew not what to make
of it, some smiled, and some looked aston
ished, but the ludicrous prevailed over
everything else, and to such an extent that
the minister was obliged to stop reading
and to hand the book to his brother in the
desk. After the usual preliminary services,
he rose to preach, but there sat conspicu-
ously the old lady, with the bellows in front,
hand hold of each handle, the nose
turned up towards her face, and with much
self-complacency putting the gentle breeze
into her face. What to do, or how to pro-
coed he knew not, for he could not cast his
eyes over the congregation without meet
ing the old lady. At length summoning
resolution, and trying to feel the solemnity
of the duty imposed upon him, he pro-
ceeded. He finished his discourse, but it
cost him more effort than any before or
since. %, s l.4s gr5s

Proof Reading.

e All printers and editors, says the st.
Louis Dispatch, will appreciate the remarks
of the New York Watclsaaaa, on this sub
jeci, part Of which we insert. If the
readers of newspapers understood one-half
the difficulty of procuring accuracy, in
stead of wondering and scolding at mis-
takes, they would be surprised that there
arc not many more How few persons ap-
preciate the services of proof reader
He is one the most important agents in
the production of correct literature, and
the one of whom no one seems to think.
His is the most thankless of all the en-
ploym ents among men. Let him bring out
paper without fault for weeks and weeks
in succession and nobody thinks of him.
But let him let an error go uncorrected,
and Immediately he is known only to be
censured He has no thanks for his la
borious patience, but blame if he be not
faultless. He is certain of one of two
things-forgetfulnes Or censure. We take
this occasion to give our conscience salts
faction by saying that we now and here
forgive all the singular errors our proof
readers have failed to correct, and to thank
them for all the accuracy they have secured
for our journal during the year, and for
the correction Of all our own mistakes of
carelessness, or ignorance made by those
vigilant gentlemen. 20 at'd ~
In general, human life is much after this
fashion. A man goes on through years of
blameless living and no one notices or
thanks him; but an error, a mistake, a slip
will attract to him the attention of censure.
None but God knows what struggles, what
carefulness, what watchfulness, have been
necessary to secure the propriety which
has marked his course for years; nor what
circumstances of trial created the weak
ness which caused him to let go his hold
for moment. "God is not unmindful, !"
is the blessed assurance of Holy Scripture.
Let us take the "proof" of the last year,
and correct for the new edition of the
next. Let us be "pitiful" and forbearing
towards the faults of others. re- a. IN

Going about her silver house,
You would never, never gness

She looks as If no thought OF Ill

And while she spins her silken thread,
She is planning, planning, planning still

With eyes down dropt and tender.

That pretty is which pretty does,
And that worth daes not go nor stay
For poverty nor splendor.

The Black Mans Record.

The Meriden (Ct) Recorder forcibly
aThe black mans record in our late
struggle is glorious one. he has written
his claim to fidelity, courage, freedom. with
his own blood. AT. first he was treated
with distrust, GOODNESS, severity. In some
instances he was driven from our military
lines, weeping, disheartened, crushed IN
SOUL But he began to disclose facts which
gave our generals victories. Then he was
welcomed, from policy, by those who had
no regard for his manhood. Generals
Grant, Burnside, Rosecrans, who, never
despised his services nor crucified his hui
mainly, spoke in his behalf The negro
was found willing to assert his manhood in
the field; laggard justice put musket into
his hand /; he has used it well, bravely; no
one better. That black man who yolun-
teered to cast the lead, when one of our
vessels ran past rebel battery, to the re-
lief of General Foster, and was shot dead
at his post, should be immortalized by the
pen Of a Carlyle, and the pencil of a
Michael Angelo. bnG .ssfs2 L5lJ0'

the crimson walls of Wagner, where the
valiant Shaw xpired and was scorntully

colored courage. He who now denies the
negro's courage and manhood, would deny
that two and two make four, or that one
