COOKING HAMs.-I have learned much in
the half dozen years since have assumed
the responsibility of being my own house
keeper, as to the best mode of boiling ham.
knew very we'll that it was spelling good
ham ever to fry it when it can be 6roiIeR.
But found that there were ways OF boiling
a whole ham SO as to ruin it and this is the
way how now boil it: II it be q Mary
land or Virginia ham, or any one rather old
or hard, it should be soaked over night in
plenty of water, then put into suitable
cooking pot of cold water which should be
raised to a gentls boil, or rather simmer, and
this should be continued for fifteen minutes
for every pound weight of the ham. Then
take out, remove the skin, and dust over IL
plentifully of bread crumbs and set in the
oven to bake from fifteen to thirty minutes.
A ham cooked In this way should be very
tender, juicy and of fine favor, provided it
was originally good.
If this will assist any one in her knowledge
how to improve upon the "old way" of pre-.
pairing whole ham for the table, shall ba
satisfied. l know very we'll that il oucs
tried it will be always tried.
EFFICACY OF ONIoSs.-A writer says: ave
are troubled often with severe coughs, tho
result of colds of long standing, which may
turn to consumption or premature death.
Hard coughs cause sleepless nights by con-
stant irritation of the throat, and strong
effort to throw of offensive matter from the
lungs. The remedy proposed has often been
tried, and is simply to take into the stomach
before retiring for the night piece of raw
onion after chewing. This esculent in an
uncooked state is very strong, and collects
the water from the lungs and throat, causing
immediate relief to the patient"
OYsrER SAUsAGE.-Chop and pound soma
veal well in mortar, then chop up an co ual
proportion of oysters, mix well, and add
some bread crumbs, and a little beef suet
sliced fine; moisten with some of the liquor
of the oysters season with pepper, salt, aud
a little mace bind together with we'll beaten
eggs form into sausage or fat cakes, aud
fry pale brown in good dnpping.
BARLEY SouP.-Tako two pounds q.
shin beef, quarter of a pound of pearl bar
ley, bunch OF parsley Tor pot herbs,) four
onions, four potatoes, two sweet potatoes
salt, pepper, blade or two of mace, sad
four quarts of water. A small knuckis of
boiled ham will improve it. Simmer al,
together gently for three hours.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Gen. Longstrcet's Views Of Gen.
Grant,

A letter from General Longstrect has been
published, in which lie expresses great con-
fidence in the coming administration of Gen.
Grant, the President elect, and advises the
people of the South to give him tLeir sup
port. He adds:
"That the people Of the South desire prac-
tical reconstruction there can be no doubt;
but it seems to be difficult to develop that
| sentiment so as to produce practical results
Drifting along in the channel into which
chance seems to have thrown me, l begin
to find myself, like many Others, ready with
my theory. As it may interest you, give
you concise statement of it. If you find
that you can make it useful, you are at liber-
ty to do so. The wealth of the South LAYS
In its soil. If this proposition is true, its
sequents are equally so. 1. Labor is essen.
tial to make that wealth available. 2. To
command labor, laws must encourage and
protect it. Also their consequents:
To encourage and invite labor, evidences
OF protection must De made manifest through
the operation OF law upon the labor that we
nave. Hence it appears that the value of
our iands depends upon our labor, our labor
upon the law, and the law upon US. A fail
ure upon our part, therefore, to enact and
\
interests OF the owners of real estate az
confscation. And yet, all that Congress
asks us to do is to avail ourselves of the
only means by which We may avoid serious
depreciation of our material interests. That
is, this will be the practical re,ult of recon.
struction, under national legislation, upon
our interests. The moving cause of tina,
legislation, probably, was security for the
future Here we may discover the time tina
should mark our connection with recon
struction. 1t begins and ends in our car,
! for home interests. 1t will be time enough
to begin to look into the future when W
have provided for the present.
The politicians of the old school seen
anxious to impress upon the minds of ou
young men the importance of rejecting al
propositions coming from the republican
party, or else they dishonor their own bloot
and the blood of their own comrades. Blu
gentlemen should remember that they onl
dishonor their comrades when they dshono
themselves, and that there cannot be dishon
or in ready obedience to law and prope
care for our own welfare. On the contrary
to discard the law and expose ourselves t.
unnecessary difficulties is near akin to dis
honor. 1t is true that many worthy person
arc DISTINGUISHED under the law, but tn
readiest and surest means of relief ar
through the law. / conclude, therefore, tha
interest and duty and homo, demand that ,e
Sh0Ula place ourselves in a condition to supper
the latos Of Congress. When we have done SC
we shall receive abundantly of help from tho
Executive and from the other members o.
the government"

Write Home.
A WORD TO YOUNG MEN.

There can be no excuse for any young
man who never writes home, or whose letters
to the old folks there-whose dreams are
ever of her son-are few and far between,
and not worth much even when obtained.
1t Ia sad to think, that there are young men
who let weeks and months pass away with
out letter to their parents, or their brothers
and sisters-who, when they do write, only
send line or two with some lame excuse
for their not doing more; line or two saying
nothing, just containing some stereotyped
abatement, or vague utterance, which gives
no information. Why, the value of letter
from young man to the far.off town or viii
lage home, consists in its little details its
atfectionate gossip; its account of any cir.
cumstance or incident that may have promise
in it of advantage; its story of hopeful
struggle, of dawning success; or Its references
to new formed friendship,-to books read
churches attended, lectures listened to, with
a thousand things besides, which may be
small in themselves, but which show an in.
tercst in the members of the home, circle, and
manifest the beating of the childs heart
within the mans. Young men are not aware
what pain they may inflict by apparent neg
lect how letters, brief and infrsquent, may
give rise to fear and doubt, and occasion
anxious days aud wakeful nights Now,
don't neglect home. Don't seem indifferent
to your own family, as if all your interest
were transferred to strangers. Keep the
chain Of communication bright by use, and
write freely and fully, with unrestrained con-
tidence, that it may be felt that there is
neither blight on the affections nor error in
the life, which is too often the cause of that
lapse in filial or fraternal correspondence,
which, though the result also at times of
mere thoughtlessuess, is always unkind and
sometimes cruel Count De Gasparia-

AFTER ELECTION.


sr JOHN O. WHITTIER.
Tho days sharp strife is endod now,
Our work is done, God knowsth how!
As on the thronged, unrestful town,
The patience Of the moon looks down,
/ wait to hear. beside the wiro,
The voices Of its tongues of FIRE.
Slow doubtful, faint, they seem at fret;
BE strong, my heart, TO hear the worst /!
Hark there tho Aileghenies spoke;
That sound from lake and prairie broke.
The sunset gun of triumph rent,
The silence Of q continent!
Tint signal from Nebraska sprung,
This from Nevadas mountain tongue!
Is that thy answer, strong and froe,
o loyal heart of Tennessee7
What strange, glad voice, is that which oalls
From Mississippi's fountain head
A sound as Of the bison's tread
There rustled freedoms Charter Oak!
In that wild burst the 0zarks spoke,
Cheer answers cheer from rise to set
or sun. We have a country yet
The praise, 0 God, bs Thine alone!
Thou givest not for broad q stone;
Thou hast rot lod us through the night
To blind as with returning light;
Not through the furnace have We passed
To perish Ut its mouth at last,
oh night Of peace, thy fight restrain,
November's moon, be slow to wana.
Shine on the freedman's cabin floor,
On brows of prayer blessing pour;
And give, with full assurance blsst,
The weary heart Of Freedom rest.
