and most nutritious vegetable used for food
is leans. Professor Licbig says that pork
and beans form a compound Of substances
adapted to furnish all that is ne
cessary to support life. a quart Of beans
costs say fifteen cents} half pound Of pork
ten certs. This, as every fousekeepcr

with good strengthening food -Four quarts
of beans and two pounds Of corncl beef
boiled to rags, in fifty quarts Of water, will
furnish good meal to forty men at cost
of one dollar-two cents and halfa meal.

Cure FOR acknowledgements red
pepper pods stepped ia brandy or whiskey,
and the mixture applied with the hand to
the parts afflicted, gives almost instant re-
lief from this terrible affliction. We have
seen it tried in this way, and never knew
it to fail. Some persons prefer to drink
the spirits and apply the ''dry pod"-good
physicians inclining to that mode Of treat
mcnt. The public arc warned against the
latter, as it is very dangerous in its effects,
and does not guarantee TdI FIR.

To KILL RATs.-A friend tells us that
rats may be exterminated in very simple
way, viz: Take bunch Of sulphur match
es and soak them in water for twelve hours,
then make dough as if you intended ma
king bread; lay this about where the rats
can get it and, in a short time, all will dis
appear.

IHE SABBATII.-"W clcume, sweet day
If rest - No books to post, no orders to
ill, no projects to think over, no politics to
discuss-none of the thousand wearying,
tcmpcr-trying, hcart-worrying cares of the
everyday world; to-day One day Of qui-
ct and trauquilty-'cmblem of eternal rest
How swcetly comes the peace of the Sab
bath morning, after the tolls aud agitations
Of the week. Balmy as odors of orient
spicy groves gently as the breath Of sleep
ing infants or the dying winds of evening !;
pure as the incens, that rises before the
throne of God, comes the calm of this holy
morning "day of all the week the best -
Ii is the day Of Lomc-hon.c flushed and
quiet, home peaceful and full Of comfort
Today the father is at home, and the moth
or with brow free from week day cares, sits
beside him; and memories Of Sabbaths iii
,hc by-g"nc time, when sly love made the
day Of rerosc time Of joy, come back in
all their plcasantness. Father is ut home,
and the little ones hang at his knee. telling
their joys aud troubles of the past week,
and rejoicing that for whole day lie will
be their company, and lavish upon them,
uninterrupted, his loving words and smiles.
Aye, pure sweet and holy is the day of
rest in the family but is all TOO brief
transient as the outline of the siIycry vapor
that floats on the summer sky-for the rush
aud turmoil Of the troubling world will
come back Tomorrow. Let not tina. thought
mar the gentle joy Of this sweet day re-
member, rather, there is a "home' whose
peace is never interrupted. whose JOY is ne
yer broken, whose repose breads no to-mor-
row, and that part Of the privileges ard
happiness Of to-day is t. secure place in
that family whose circle is united forever

"TuE BLESSINGS OF FREEDOM The
following somewhat overdrawn picture is
copied from the New Haven Conn.,
Register-we say overdrawn, because
while Northern men who undertake to
run cotton plantations may fail in indu-
cling the freedmen to remain in their en-
ploy, good many Southern planters arc
more successful with the late chattelS.
But here is what the Connecticut paper
says:
A friend, (and decided Republican,
who fought through the war, and is now
trying to run a plantation "down in
Dixie" complains of "the uncertainty of
procuring bor,"-that he had hired sew
en- different gangs since he took the plan
tation, "and could not induce any Of them
to remain long," that the last ones he
"agreed to pay in advance, week to week,
as long as they would remain-which
was exactly six days, and the last he saw
of them, they were marching (lndian
fle,) down the road, singing, well hang
Jeff Davis on sour apple tree,'" in the
full enjoyment of "life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness" We imagine the
feelings of our Republican friend, as he
leaned over the palings, and saw his sable
friends "on their winding way" to have
been akin to those of Pharoah, when the
children of Israel "took to the water"
and we don't recollect, at this moment,
any one whose faith in negro equality"
deserved moro convincing shock than
his. He is now looking for Northern
white laborers, satisfied that the 'frecd-
men" will not be ready to go to work du-
ring the present century.

THEY ARE NOT MISSED.
"ghey are not missed!" o.! say not so,

"They are not missed!" O! say not 80,
Mid many festive measure,
Where mirth and music sweetly flow,
And wealth displays its treasure.
Round many o freside's ruddy blaze,
In cot or mansion burning,
They greet no more our earnest gaze,
Nor heed affections yearning.
"They arc not missed!" o! say not so,
A dreary void is aching
In the sad hearts we wear below,
They sundered in forsaking-
A void that never can be filled,
And rents reclosing never,
Until those broken hearts are stilled
By deaths cold hand forever.
Their bones may still unburied lie,
Nor we their places knowing,
And rain and snow may nurture high
The grass above them growing;
But not by things we can control,
Our thanks and love are measured
There is tomb in every soul,
Where every relics treasured.

Il .aArrEMpr TO AssAss1NArE A NORTHERN

nATTEMPT TO AssAssINATE A N ORTHERN
MAN AT On Wednesday.
night gentleman of cerulean abdominal
parts put up at the Washington Hotel,
and registered as sc. E. Noble, Westfeld,
Massachusetts" A gentleman from the
same State, at present residing in the
city as banker, and boarding at the
same house, observing his name on the
register, thought that out of courtesy
though q stranger, he would call on HIM
and show him some attention. Accor-
dinghy he requested MIR. Davis, the ac-
commodating clerk, to go up to the room
of the stranger and announce MN. Mf.
Davis did so; but was met by positive
refusal on the part of the occupant of the
room to open the door. Mr.. Davis ex-
plaiDed, but it was no use the gentleman
from the North was resolute; he had no
idea of surrendering the advantage he
possessed; no bloody rebel was to get
admittance into that stronghold except
at the end of a battering ram.
Foiled and repulsed, the clerk with
drew and reported to the gentleman in
waiting below. The latter then deter
mined to try his strategy. He assembled
to the bolted door, hailed the vigilant
watcher within, and asked for an inter
view. But the new arrival could not be
caught in any such trap as that; he was
too old bird to be fooled with chaff-
and the door remained unopened. The
residenter explained that he was his
friend; was from the same State, and
only wanted to have little friendly con-
versation with him. But it was no go !;
that was very nice scheme, but it would
not avail with him. And the gentleman
intent on deeds of hospitality was, like
his predecessor, forced to abandon his
undertaking, retire and leave the stranger
alone in his castle No doubt his slum-
bers that night were disturbed BY visions
of bowie-knives and revolvers. What an
awful idea they have of the sanguinary
rebels up North
The stranger took his departure by the
early train the next morning, rejoicing
