OCTOBER.
Shake the last dead blossom
FROM the thorny bough;
Royal rose or thistle
Which is faircr now?
Worst OF weeds and queen of flowers,
Pride and mock of summer hours;
Dry and shriveled, old and brown
In the wet grass tread them down.
Poppies, with the mornings
Burning beauty flushed;
Little-cared-for daisies,
Used to being crushed
Loveless, scentless, side by side
Which has now most cause for pride?
Dry and shriveled, old and brown
In the wet grass tread them down.
Rankly growing nights shade,
Child OF gloom and death
Lilies, white and sanity,
With celestial breath;
Useless now to bless or harm,
Vain their poison, vain their balm;
Dry and shrlveled, old and brown
In the wet grass tread them down.
Amaranths, we fancied
Flowers that could not die;
Morning glories, fading
Ere their dew was dry
Which has now the nobler claim?
Which has now the prouder name?
Dry and shrivelcd, old and brown
In the wet grass tread them down.
Aconite and nettle,
Myrtle wreath and rose,
All, all fall together
When the north wind blows.
Summer hours will lot last
After summertime has passed;
Dry and shriveled, old and brown
In the wet grass tread them down.

APPLE JELLY.-Fall pippin apples are
decidedly the best for jelly. To one peck
of apples, after they are pared and quarter
ed, take three pints of water and the iuice
OF one lemon, with very little lemon peel,
stew until soft, then pour into a jelly bag
and let drain; set it on the fire: take off
any scum that rises; let it boil twenty or
thirty minutes, trying occasionally with a
spoon to see if it jellies. If ready 70 nnt IN
glasses the syrup will drop thick.

A Notable Fact.

The Hon. S. S. Cox, Representative from
the Sixth Congressional District of New
DIRK, has recently been reviewing the
financial policy of the administration.
The following paragraph in regard to the
collection of the internal revenue tax will
command, as it should, the attention of
the public:
One of the notable features in this case
is, that as the revenue goes down yearly
the cost OF collecting it goes up; fact
which has been somewhat explained upon
the ground that, as the total revenue
diminishcs, the ratio of cost to it must
necessarily increase. But the logic of this
explanation holds good only so long as the
amount of cost annually remains at the
same level, which it has by no means done.
The official records show that in the fiscal
year 1866 the net receipts from this source
amounted in the aggregate to over $780,
.JOO,0OO, upon which there were expenses
reaching to sI,GS9,7 or 2.49 per cent. of
the total receipts-a percentage of cost
which elected expressions of admiration
in the British House of Commons at the
time. In 1867, however, upon the receipts
footing up about 1881 millions, the cOllec-
ton expense amounted to $500, 1856; or
BAL per cent. and in 1868, upon $685.
$4,000, they were 1875 ,301, or 4.94 per
cent. Now, If there was anything in the
theory of decrease of revenue working in
crease in the ratio of collection cost, as
offered in the case, the total expenses of
1867 and 1868 should not have exceeded
S7,6OO,0O0 in either year, whereas they did
exceed that sum by $1,250,0 900 in the one
year, and 81 100000 in the other respect
lively"
The administration may boast of its
economy, its energy, its attention to de-
tails, but the Radicals will find it not mere
ly difficult but impossible to give rea-
sonable explanation for the expenditure
of one million six hundred thousand dol
lars more In 1868 to collect $1S9, 750,0 900
than was expended in 1866 to collect $309,-
100000. The multiplied expenditure is
only part of the Radical arrangement
for robbing the people without letting
them know it. But the people do know
it, or, if they don't, they can know it, and
if they tolerate it, they deserve to
be robbed: The officers employed in the
collection of the revenue are evidently
not the right kind of men. They were
not appointed, as a general rule, for the
supposed possession of the proper qualifi
cations. The inquiry was not whether
they were honest whether they were com
petent, whether they were faithful to the
Constitution and the laws. They have
abused their positions. 1t is No wonder
that, in many localities, the people show
signs of rebellion when called on for theil
taxes Their spirit of resistance arises
not from any disposition to do injustice tt
the Government but from an indignant in
| disposition to have the grossest injustic,
done to hemselves.-LOuisUiRe Courier

USEFUL RECIPES, ETC,

CARROT PIE.-Scrape the skins from
the carrots, boil them soft, and
rub through a sieve. To a pint of the
pulp, put three pints of milk, six beaten
eggs, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter,
the juice of half lemon, and the grated
rind of a whole one. Sweeten and salt it
to taste, and bake in deep pie plates with
out an upper crust
1T is said that one of the simplest and
best cures for stammering is to beat time
with the thumb upon the forefinger be-
fore commencing to speak, and while
speaking. One is then almost obliged to
speak rhythmically and distinctly. Anoth-
er so-called certain cure consists merely in
the frequent and rapid pronunciation, with
due emphasis, of the following gibberish
Hobbs meets Snobbs and NObbs; Hobbs
hobs to Snobbs and NObbs Snobbs mods
to Hobbs and robs Nobbs' fobs that, SAYS
Hobbs, is the worse for Nobbs fobs, and
Snobbs sobs.
ORANGE MARMALADE-Cutt the oranges
in half, then take out the pulp and juice,
separating all the skins and pips Put
the rinds into salt and water for night !;
the next morning put them into stewpan
with fresh water. Let them stew until
soft, so that straw can be run through
them easily; cut the peels into thin strips
To every pound of fruit add one pound
and half of coarse white sugar. Put the
juice, pulp, and peel, with the sugar, into
the stewpan and let it boil twenty minutes
Seville oranges must be used, and the
| marmalade is better if kept six months
The juice and grated rind of two lemons
to every dozen oranges is great improve
| ment.-Jessie Piesse
WHEN TO Sow APPLE-SEEDs.-Suc
cess in raising apple seedlings depends
somewhat upon soil and climate. If the
soil is heavy clay, and in a locality
where the winter is very severe and little
snow to cover the ground, we would pre-
fer mixing apple-seed with sand, and then
burying it in 8 box during cold weather
than to sow in the fall. Usually, hOwev-
er, it is a safe plan to SOW in autumn, as
apple-seeds will withstand considerable
cold and water without injury. In heavy,
tenacious soils the seed ought not to be
covered with more than one inch of soil,
and less than this depth is better if the
surface of the seed-bed is covered with a
thin mulching of fine hay or straw.
Hearth and Home.
| A CORRESPONDENT of the Rural Neas
Yorker gives the following as his plan OF
curing sOwed corn: cut my corn with a
stout cradle, when it stands up, or with q
corn cutter when lodged; allow it to lay
on the swath day or two, then rake up
and bind the same as oats and rye. | then
take an ordinary fence stake, drive it firmly
in the ground set three bundles of corn
around it, and tie them then seven or ter
more around these, according to size)
and bind them at the top, with one or two
bands; l then cap the whole with two
bundles. When put up in this way, they
will stand till thoroughly cured, wher
they can be stacked or put in the barn tn,
same as corn stalks.
