Buokwheat Cakes.

The finest tendcrest cakes can be
made BY adding a little unbolted
wheat Cor Graham) flour to the
buckwheat Less than a quarter
will DO. Mix with cold sour milk,
or fresh mot sweet buttermilll,
which is best. The soda (emptyings
are dispensed with) when put in cold
batter will not act satisiaeiGril y.-
Bake at once. The heat viii start
the efloryescence, and rs the paste
rises it will bake, thus preventing it
from falling Hence the culmlna-
ting point OF lightness is attained
The batter rises snowy and beauti-
full, and the pancake will rise to al
most undue dimensions, absolutely
the highest and tcnderest that can be
baked, without touch Of acid
More salt, however, must be added
than usual, TO counteract the too
fresh taste when soda alone is used.
Thus the bother Of emptyings is all
dispensed with. Pancakes this way
can be baked at any time and on the
shortest nonce.

The Whole of Religion.

Our Savior sums up the whole of
religion in a few words: Chou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy strength, and with
all thy mind, and thy neighbor as
thyself," and adds, 'If We love me,
We will keep my commandments"
Love to God then, and reverence
for his will, should be the motive Of
your life, and influence your conduct
both toward himself and your fellow
men. The sincerity Of your CONVEX
. sion should be seen in purified heart
and holy life Whereas You form.
erly lived to yourself, yielding to the
impulse Of the moment, you must
now weigh your words and actions,
and sec that they accord with the
will OF God.
"Keep thy heart with all diligence,
for out ofit are, the issues Of life. ="
Born with a sinful nature, which
will cleayo to you 2s9song as YOU live,
you must pray eaffsstIy and labor
hard for sanctifcatioIi;' and not be
discouraged at the slow progress you
have in its attainment. The most emf

scnctifed, the more he appreciates
the perfection ot God and notices
his own deficiencies; in lis best ac-
tons he detects an alloy Of sin. How
carefully, then, should a young con

lest through temptation, ignorance,
or inadvertence he bring remorse TO
his conscience or disgrace to his pro

Boy 4 Berlin correspondent writes:
"Two years ago society was
established in Berlin, the members
of which agreed to preserve all the
points oftheir cigars, instead Of biting
them off aud throwing them away.
These ends are collected and then
sold in large quantities either for the
manufacture Of snuff or for smoking
in pipes. The sum thus raised is
applied to the maintenance and
education Of orphans; and some idea
Of the extent OF the society and the
Intensity Of its affection for the weed
may be gained from the fact that the
cigar ends OF two years saving have
brought in q sufficient sum for the
maintenance Of twenty-five children.
Such society might be established
in suffering from the deleterious
effect of excessive smoking"

GAS FROM CorFEE.-A remark
able communication was made by
NJ. Babinet at the last meeting of
the Academy of Science, on the ev-
oIution of gas in the process of max
ing coffee. If cold water be poured
on roasted coffee, finely ground, such
as generally used with boiling water,
q considerable quantity Of gas is
generally evolved about equal in
volume to the amount of coffee used.
If a bottle be half filled with this
ground coffee, and cold water be
then poured in until the cork is
reached, which is to prevent the es-
capo Of the gas, violent explosion
sufficient to force the cork out of
the bottle or even to break the latter,
