Our Pilgrimage.

We are passing toward final rest
ourselves. Do not regret it if the
eyes grow dim. You will see better
by and by. If the ear is growing
heavy do not be sorry. If your youth
is passing, and your beauty fading, do
not mourn. If your hand trembles,
and your foot is unsteady, with age, be
not depressed in spirit. With every
impediment, with every sign of the
taking down of this tabernacle, remem-
ber that it is the striking the tent that
the march may begin, and that when
next you pitch your tabernacle it shall
be on undisturbed shore, and that there,
with eyes unwet with tears, through
an atmosphere undimmed by clouds,
and before a God unveiled and never
to be wrapped in darkness any more
that there, looking back upon this
world of ignorance and suffering and
trouble, and upon the hardships Of the
way, you will with full and discerning
reason, lift up your voice and give
thanks to God, and say, "There was
not one trouble too much there was
not one sorrow too piercing" And
you will thank God, in that land, for
the very things that wiring tears from
your eyes in this. Look, then, to that
better land, out of all the trouble of the
way, sigh for it, pray for it, and enter
into it.

HOW make bread.

In the Ohio Farmer of April 9th, L.
noticed an article on bread making. y L
entirely agree with the writer, that to
know how to make good bread is very
important item in the culinary depart
ment. ss
/ often wonder how housewives can
be satisfied to bring to the table an in-a
ferior article Of bread, when the knowls9s
edge of making good bread is so easily
acquired and retained. ] do however
disagree with the writer on one particu- d
lar. think sweet milk is preferable to .
butter-milk. .-rhE t.f,g sa4
have used butter-milk, and very
nice light bread is made with it, and
while the bread is fresh, there is very
little difference, but when a day or two
old, bread is much sweeter, and / think !

milk. If your correspondent has never
used sweet milk, would merely sugs D.

put before them by delicate hands, and
swallowed into their delicate stomachs.
and too often rejected by those delicate
organs, to the detriment Of the carpet
And then, when this delectable subject
of woman's alteration is rubbed, and
scrubbed, and pitied, and physicked,
and thoroughly combed out from head
to foot, with every love-lock of his
glossy hair filtered Of its feas, how
tenderly he is laid upon the bed or
clasped in the embraces of beauty!
Shade of Cupid! what happy thing it
is to be lapdog! we'll might the i'm
mortal Bard of Avon prefer to be dog
that bayed at the moon rather than an
indifferent poet. For my part, Id
sooner be wrapped in the arms Of beauty
than King of the Cannibal Islands.
The strange infatuation of feminine
instinct which lends to the head-dress,
at an approaching bridal, a degree OF
importance to which the expectant
groom can never aspire; which sees
the destinies of the whole matrimonial
career centred in the fringe of a night
gown; which seeks advice and conso-
lation in the pattern of a reception dress;
which would shrink from the fearful
sacrifice of liberty bat for the magic
power of new bonnets, new gloves, and
embroidered handkerchiefs-that we
can all understand; these are woman's
coy devices to tantalize mankind; these
are the probationary tortures inflicted
upon him through mere wantonness and
love of mischief. But when the richest
treasures of her affection, the most di-
vine essence of her being, the Prone
thean spark warm from her virgin
heart, for which worlds are lost-when
these are cast away upon a nauseous
little lap-dog, ye gods what can poor
mortals do but abandon their humanity!
1t is shocking to think of such competi-
ton, but how can we help it if young
ladies give themselves up to dog wor-
ship? | sincerely trust that Continen-
tai fashion may never take root in Cali
fornia. Should it do SO, farewell all
hope for the honest sons of toll; it will
then be the greatest of good fortunes
to be born lap-dog.

Early Tomatoes and cucumbers

A correspondent of the Farm and
Fireside says he gets tomatoes and Gu
cumbers two or three weeks. earlier than
they are usually found in Northern mar
kets by adopting the following plan: Our
tomato practice is to scrape two dozen
or SO fair-sized turnips to thin shells,
fill them with rich garden mould, plant
few seeds in each, place themina box
of earth, covering quite up to the top,
place the box in a warm room. After
the plants are up, water when required,
give light, and out-of-door air on all
pleasant, warm days. Select the strong
est plant in each shell to grow, pulling
out the others. Pinch back two vigor-
GUS shoots, urge stout, stocky growth
by frequent slight feelings oftepid sour
milk, sometimes weak soap suds, and
when the frost season is fairly past set
turnip shells, tomato plants and all in
the outdoor soil where they are to grow.
and they will go right on growing,
without any hesitation or standing still,
as they do coming from hot-bed.
Cucumbers we persuade forward in the
same manner, planting them in black
turf, instead of turnipshells, and almost
always we have tomatoes and cucumbers
well set on the vines before setting them
in out-doorposition. Cucumbers, white,r
crisp, cool, tender, almost seedless, free
from all unpleasant, earthly taste, and
as delicate and delicious as cucumbers
can be, may be induced by simply plac-
ing the small fruit within a asection of
drain-tile, fower-pot, or old bottle with
the neck knocked off, covering them
from the sunlight, and growing them
to table size in the dark. .-.,

A Hog in Hoops,

A Vermonter tells the story that a
lady residing in the eastern part of the
State having just returned from an eve
ning's entertainment, hearing a noise
on the back stoop-a long and very
narrow one-she stepped out to ascer-
tain the cause. At the farther end she
discovered the intruder in the shape OF
a good sized hog. ~Sheat once assumed
belligerent attitude and commenced
screaming "Whee! +! Whee" The hog
took the alarm and made for the door,
and discovering the largest space to be
between the lady's two feet pitched for
that, and'sheipstantly assumed a hor-
izontal position and movement for the
door. But to prevent premature
-elopement she caught hold Of post,
and her hoops caught the hog. His
swineship found himself at once inear-
.cerated nohoops. Then came the
struggle Ia woman's determination
against a hogs villa contest not un-
equal but as persistent as it was lodi-
crous The noise brought the lady's
good mother to- the scene, but what
could she do? although the squealing
of the pig and thepositive assertion OF
the lady that she ''should be killed"
was hard for fond mother to bear
without lending assistance. A COM
promise was unavoidable, and to effect
this the hoops were unfastened, and
away went bis pigship, arrayed in his
new attire, lacking only one thing to
make him respectfully dressed, viz: q
waterfall. @
