RECIPES,

SPIcED BEEF IN THE IRISH STYLE.
To round weighing from 30 to 25 lbs,
take pint of salt, one ounce of salt
petre, two ounces of cloves, one ounce of
allspice, four ounces of sugar all well
pulyerized, and mixed together; rub the
round well with it, and lay it in small
tub or vessel by itself Turn and rub it
once day for ten days. 1t will not in
iure it if it remain week longer in the
spices, if it should not be convenient 70
bake it. When You wish to have 1t
cooked strew over the top of the round
a small handful of suet. Be particular
to bind it tight round with a cord or
narrow strip of muslin, which must be
wrapped several times round to keep it
in shape; put it in dutch oven, and
add three pints of water when it is
first put down; and add little to it as
it seems necessary, observing not to add
too much. 1t will require a slow heat
and take four hours to bake. This is a
fine dish and will be good for three
weeks after cooking. Keep the gravy
that is left to pour over it to keep it
moist. Z.
COTTAGE CHEEsE.-Put leopard milk
in kettle, and set it on the stove where
it will heat gradually, until the curd all
settles. Do not let it get too hot, or the
curd will he too hard. Then pour it in
to thin cloth strainer; hang it up and
let it drain until sufficiently dry: then
put in pan or other vessel; make it
fine with your hands; add little cream
if you wish it in balls; or, if you like it
soft to dish out with spoon, add more
thin cream; and salt to suit the taste, or
no salt, just as you please.
OYsTER OMLEr.-Allow for every six
large oysters, or twelve small ones, one
egg. Remove the hard part, and mince
the remainder of the oyster very fine;
take the yolks of eight aud the whites of
four eggs, beat them very light, then
mix in the oysters with little pepper
and beat up thoroughly, put in the fry
ing pan, gill of butter, when the butter
boils in the pan skim it and turn in the
omlet, stir it until it bcgens to stifen,
fry it to a light brown, lift edge careful
ly and slip round pointed knife under
do not let it be oYerdone, but as soon
the underside is of a light brown, turn
it on to hot plate never fold this ON
let, it will make it heavy. ..
PoTrED OK ToNGUE.-Boil tender an
unsmoked tongue Of good favor, and
the following day cut from it the quanti-
ty desired for potting, or take for this
purpose the remains of one which has
already been served at table. Trim off
the skin and lind, weigh the meat,
mince it small, then pound it smsll as
possible with four ounces of butter to
each pound of tongue, small teaspoon
ful of mace, half as much of nutmeg and
cloves, and a tolerably high seasoning of
cayene. After the spices are well beat
en- with the meat, taste it, and add
if required.

A DOMESTIC SToRY.-An editor says:
An aunt of ours concluded to try the
effect OF pleasant smile and q kind
word upon her husband when he return
ed from his work She had read how a
home should be pleasant and the wife
should always meet her husband with
joyful smile The success she had is best
given in the shape of dialogue.
Enter husband, almost exhausted, and
very hungry withal throws his hat on
the floor and drops heavily into seat.
Wife, preparing tea, looks up with a
smile, and is glad TO see him.
Wife" Well, my dear, it is so nice to
have You bere at meal time. A long
smile. 'sf.'. 'a- s.
Husband--"Yes, suppose So"
Wife-"How has your business pros
pered to day 20 Another smile.
=. Hnsband-aAbout so So"
Wife-"Come my dear, tea is ready ;
let me draw your chair" Another long,
smile
Husband, gruffly-M am too tired to
stir. Wait till I warm my feet"
| Wie-"Do as you choose my dear
Another smile.
Husband-"Look o'here, old woman
before any more fuss is made about II
should like to know what in thunder
you are grinning att
Amt sighed and relnquished hel
smiles from that date. Uncle jacob
was not one of the romantic sort, an'
didn't understand such things.

The Freedom of the Age.
A NATIONAL SONG.

Oh, hear the echoes ringing
. Down the arching halls OF Time
All the choral voices singing
With an ecstacy sublime;
And the glory. of our banners,
And the freedom of our land,
Are re-echoed in hOsannas --su
g sH Floating out to every strand
Every ear has caught the lyric
Ofthe nations glad huZzas,
And the dance is more than Phyrric,
.-er More than thunder the applause;
For the despots of the nations
'8 Now are falling from their thrones,
And the joyous acclamations
Now are shaking all the zones.
And no more the bondmen tremble
-, At-the despot's dread commands
But like hosts of men assemble,
Down to smite his bloody hand;
For the mass of human beings
~ By the few will not be crushed,
Even though the tyrant's breathings
Must be smothered in the dust.
All the freedom that our Jesus
Bought for every living soul -. z
Nothing less will ever please us,
While the shining systems roll.
While celestial legions aid Us,
Wrong triumphant cannot be:
By the help of Cod who made us,
ALL THE NATIONS SHALL BE FREE

FLATrERING TO FAT FoLKs.-It is a
notable fact in criminal statistics that no
fat man was ever convicted of the crime
of murder. Stout people are not re-
yengeful; nor, as a general thing are
they agitated by gusts of passion. Few
murderers weigh more than ten stone.
There are, however, exceptions which
justify us i'll assuming eleven as the ut
most limit of the sliding scale, but be-
yond that there is no impulse toward
homicide. Seldom has such phenome-
non as fat housebreaker been paraded
at criminal bar. Itis your lean, wiry
fellow who works with the skeleton keys,
forces himself through closet windows,
which, seemingly, would hardly suffice
for the entrance of the cat, steals with
noiseless step along the lobby, and up
the stairs, glides into the chamber sacred
for more than half a century to the chaste
repOse of the gentle Tabitha, and with
husky voice and the exhibition of an ell
ormons carving knife, commands silence
on pain of instant death, and delivery of
her cash and jewels. 1t is your attenu-
ated thief who insinuates himself under
beds, skulks behind counters, dives into
tills, or makes prey of articles of COM
merce arrayed at the shop doors for the
temptation of credulous passengers. A
corpulent burglar is as much out of place,
and as little to be feared, as was Falstatt
at Gadshill +; and what policeman ever
gave chase to a. depredator as bulky as
bullock ? Corpulency, we maintain, is
the outward sign, not only Of good
constitution, but of inward rettitude and
| virtue. '-

Gentle Words and Smiles.

The sun-rays warm the grass of life.
The dew the dropping flower,
And stars shine bright to hail the light
Of Autumn's opening hour;
But words that breathe out tenderness,
And smiles we know are true,
Arc warmer than the summer time,
And brighter than the dew.

hol, the varnish is ready for use. 1t
should be put on with common paint
brush. Enough yarnish for a set Of
common carriage harness costs about
ten cents. Gears so treated remain
pliable for a long time. A neighbor
who practiced it said that his heavy
harness required greasing but once a
year.
This plan cannot be practised where
the gears are kept in the stable. as the
ammonia will soon destroy the varnish.
The varnish, if made of good materials,
will dry in two hours at the farthest.
| Every farmer knows that it is a very
important thing in these dear times to
preserve harness in good, safe order as
long as possible, but they all know
equally well that there is not half as
much attention paid to this matter as
there ought to be. Let me hint, there
fore, as the winter is now upon us, and
We have more time to give to our har-
ness, that a commencement be made to
keep our harness in better order and
state of~repair.-Cor. Ger. Telegraph.
BREEDlNG Sows.-The food of sows
should be varied and moderately salt
abundant enough to keep them thriving,
yet not sufficient to fatten. 1t is we'll
to give them charcoal occasionally and
.triae of sulphur. The slops of the house
are good feed. All this tends to keep
the appetite in healthy state and to
destroy the tendency of the swine to de-
your their young. They should not be
closely confined small yard at least
shonld be attached to their sleeping pens
for them to 60 into at will. Change of
quarters, especially when near the time
of giving birth to their young, is apt to
work injury. and should be carefully
made if necessary. ,15 .fsi az
They should be supplied with great
abundance of straw or other suitable
bedding, and allowed to work it down
somewhat fine and compact, into a bed
of their own liking. In winter time it
requires warm pen, and ample bedding
and care to raise the pigs. If poles are
around the sides of the pen high enough
from the floor to give room for the pigs
underneatl, it will frequently save them
from being laid on or killed, as the SOW
cannot press close enough to the wall to
injure them, and she is not SO apt to kill
them, in other positions as. this one.
I During the first week in the age of
the pigs the mother should be disturbed
as little as possible. Especially stran-
gers should not approach her. Give her
warm drink, and but small quantity of |
food. If she is doing well and is quiet,
and takes care of her young. "let well |
enough alone" After weeks time |
you can feed more, and when the pigs |
begin to come to the trough and eat, you
will have ample space to dispose of all
the spare meal and buttermilk your
premises afford Er.
