CorrNsE1 FOR RTAIE-BEARERs.-Ney repeat a

COUNSEL FOR TALE BEARERS. Never repeat a
story unless you are certain it is correct and even
not then unless something is to be gained, either
of importance to yourself, or for the good of the
person concerned Tattling is a mean and wicked
practice, and he who indulges in it grows fonder Of
It in proportion as he is successful. Ifyou have
no good to say of your neighbor, never reproach
his character by telling that which is false. He
who tells you the falts of Others intends to tell
Others of yo faults, and so the dish Of news is
handed from one to another, until the tale becomes
enormous. "a story never loses anything, it is
wisely remarked; but on the contrary gains in pro-
portion as it is repeated by those who have not a
very strict regard for truth. Truly, the tongue is
an unruly member, full of deadly poison"

ABRIDAL CHAMBER. Madison Wisconsin
Union tells good story of a new y married couple
who visited that city; and, stopping at first class
hotel, the bridegroom, in a manner showing his
newly acquired importancein life, called for room
the best the house afforded. He didn't want any
common fare, but the best they had, and he had
the money to foot the bill. The landlord very
pleasantly inquired if he was not from the country
and Just married? Yes, he was from the country
and just married, and he wanted the best room in
the house, and he did mt care durn for the ex-
pense. ''Then," says the landlord, 'you want the
bridal chamber?' "Why, yes" says the coun-
trymar, not exactly comprehending the matter.
II guess so-at any rate send it up; if dom want
it Sal will" We suppose it was sent up.

A JUDICIAL REMINIsCENCE.

The San Jose (Cal) Mercury relates the follow
ing incident in connection with the history OF one
of its judicial ornaments:
ssIn the early history of Santa Clara county-say
as far back as the year lS5O-we had CouqT
Judge, who has given to excessive potations. He
was old and lame, and aside from his lntemperate
habits, was generally regarded as wholly ineomPe-
tent for the position. 1t is related that the bar be-
came so thoroughly dissatisfied with this dispenser
request to resign, signed by every member OF the
bar in the county.
Gas the court was then in session. on the morn
ing following the presentation Of this request every
lawyer was present at the opening OF the court,
anxious to see what effect the petition would have
upon the Judge As the time arrived the Judge
entered the court room, and for once perfectly So
ber His countenance wore a sad and contrlte
expression. As he walked, with hating steps,
down the aisle, he awakened feeling OF pity In the
breasts of several who had signed the petition, and
they sincerely regretted the step they had taken
'aThe court opened with "hear ye, etc., and
the venerable form of the Judge rose from the
bench. After looking timidly around he commen-
ced in faltering voice, to address the bar: Cen
tlemen of the bar" said he, ''last night received
petition from you couched in respectful language
setting forth certain reasons why l should tender
my resignation as Judge of this court. Conscious
of my many infrmities, and realizing the necess-
ties Of pure judiciary, throughout the silent hours
of the past night have had your petition under
painful and, may add, prayerful consideration" ;"
Here the eyes of some of the more sympathetic
of his listeners were moistened with tears. The
judge proceeded: II feel, gentlemen that you
have acted from high sense of duty in this mat
ter, and in responding to your petition requesting
my resignation will simply say that, '.straight-
ening himself up and changing entirely his manner
then wouldn't. Mr. Clerk, call the next case u
The effect was somewhat startling"

How TO Cook BEEFsTEAK.-A beefsteak
ought always to be broiled and never fried; but
the following method Of cooking is recommended
by Mrs Hutton;
The frying pan being wiped very dry, place it
upon the stove and let it become hot-very hot:
In the mean time, mangle the steak-pepper and
salt it, then lay it in the hot, dry pan, which in
stantly cover as tightly as possible; When the raw
flesh touches the heated pan, of course it seethes
and adhcres to it, but in few seconds it becomes
loosened and juicy. Every half minute turn the,
steak but be careful to keep it as much as posi-;
bic under cover. When nearly done, lay small
piece Of butter upon it, and ifyou want much gra-
Wy, add teaspoontul of strong coffee In three
minutes from the time the steak first goes into the
pan it is ready for the table This method of cook
ing makes the most delicatey broled steak full Of
juice, yet retaining the heathful beefy flavor
The same method may be applied to mutton chops,
only they need little longer cooking to prevent
them from being too rare. An excellent gravy
may be made by adding little cream, thickened
with a pinch of flour, into which, when off the fire
and partly cool, stir in the yolk Of an egg, well
beaten.

DON'T CULTIVATE ORDINARY LAND WITHOUT
MANURE -Recollect, it costs you on our average
soils, ten dollars or more to make an acre Of corn
with hired labor, and fifteen or more to make and
gather an acre of cotton. you DO not look close,
" after your hands, it will cost you a good deal
more than that Now, every acre cultivated that
wilnot yield crops worth at least the aboveamounts,
will not only be no profit, but run you into debt
Larger crops still, are required, to obtain profit
on hired labor Lands, then, which will not yield
such crops, we must let rest, or manure them suti-
ciently, or we lose money. At least half Of our
poorest soils, hitherto devoted to corn and cotton,
should be thrown out to rest, and the balance en-
riched How long will it take us to exhaust what
little capital we have le iftore acre on which
we can make net profit of ten dollars, we continue
to cultivate five, which lack from three to ten dol
lars each of meeting the actual cost of cultivation
There are few lands which will not yield profit, if
manures are judiciously applied
