How TO CARVE AND HELP AT TABLE.-It is con-
sidered an accomplishment for a lady 10 know
how to carve well at her own table. 1t is not
proper TO stand in carving. The carving knife
should be sharp and thin.
To carve fowls, (which should always be laid
with the breast uppermost,) place the fork in the
breast, and take off the wings and legs without
turning the fowl then cut out the merry
thought, cut slices from the breast, take out the
collar bone cut off the side pieces, and then cut
the carcass in two. Divide the joints in the leg
Of turkey.
In carving siroin, cut thin slices from the
side next to you, (it must be put on the dish
with the tenderloin underneath then turn it,
and cut from the ,enderloin. Help the guest to
both kinds.
In carving a leg of mutton or ham, begin by
cutting across the middle to the bone. Cot q
tongue across, and not lengthwise, and help from
the middle part.
Carve fore-quater OF lamb by separating The
ribs from the shoulder, and then divide the ribs
To carve a loin of veal, begin at the smaller
end and separate the ribs. Help each one to 6
piece of kidney and its fat. Carve pork ani
mutton In the same way.
To carve fillet of veal, begin at the top ant
help to the stuffing with each slice. In breas
of veal separate the breast and brisket, and ther
cut them up, asking which part is perferred
In carving pig, it is customary to divide i
and take of the head before 1t comes TO the table
as to many persons the head is revolving. Gu
off the limbs and divide the ribs.
In carving venison, make deep incision dowr
to the bone to let out the juices, then turn th'
broad end toward you, cutting deep, in thir
slices
For saddle of venison, cut from the tail TO
ward the other end, on each side, In thin slices
Warm plates are very necessary with venisor
and mutton, and in winter are desirable for al

A STANcr SroRy AN aued and eccentric II

A STANCE SroRY.-An aged and eccentric wo-
man, familarly known as Lochy Ostrom, died
in Poughkeepsie, on Thursday. She had resided
there all her life. Nearly so years ago, she was
disappointed in love, and since, her career has
been chequered one. Her father and mother
died, leaving Lochy and brother. The latter
was very miserly, and it is stated that he actual
y died Of starvation, though he had $3, 900 which
fell to Lochy She then sold the property and
went Out to days work. Some years after, her
old suitor appeared, and again offered his hand.
Locby was then 80 years ofage, and with heart
hardened by rude contact with the world, she re-
fused. For the past 20 years, she lived on the
charity of others, always saving every penny she
earned. On Thursday night, she died, without
making will, leaving $25, 900. Those intimate
ly acquainted with her circumstances, say that
many who fed and clothed Lochy in her life
time, will now bring heavy bills against the es-
tate, and in that case the whole $25, 900 will be
swallowedup.

Gs> Leisure is never so enjoyably as when it
comes unexpectedly, like the visit of a long alb
sent friend. And to be sweet it must be short.
Too much of it pals upon the appetite. Luxu-
rious as warm bath it is also as enervating.-
He who finds himself suddenly possessed of lei
sure in great plenty will do well to dispose of
the bulk oft as soon as possible by setting him
self something to do Systematized activity is one
of the best preservatives against "dull care.''-
Leisure is but sauce oflife, which helps to make
work more palatable and digestable-the one
apart from the other soon becomes disgusting
Men of leisure, as they are called, are most COM
monty restless, fdgety, and unhappy men. The
kindest hing which can be done to them is:
deprive them, if possible, by hook or crook, OF
the greater part of their leisure. At first sight
it does not seem so, but very short experience
will prove that it is so. Much leisure nfers the
absence of a purpose, and life without purpose
is perpetual burden.

A Hint TO You've WoMEN.-Young woman,
trust not to uncertain riches, but prepare your
self for every emergency in life. Learn to work,
and be aot dependent on servants to make your
bread sweep your own floors, and darn your
own stockings Above ALL do not esteem too
lightly those honorable young men who sustain
themselves and their aged parents by The work
Of their own hands, while you caress and receive
into your company those idle popinjays who
never lift a finger 10 help themselves as long as
they can keep body and soul together and yet
funds sufficient to live in fashion.

va There are many different ways Of getting
on in the world it does not always mean max
ing great deal of money, or being great man
for the people to look up to with wonder. Leav-
ing off bad habit for good one, is getting on
in the world to be careful and saving instead
of thoughtless and wasteful, is getting on TO be
active and industrious instead of idle and lazy,
is getting on to be kind and forbearing instead
of ill-natured and quarrelsome, is getting on =
to work as diligently in the masters absence as
in his presence, is getting on in short, when
we see any one properly attending to his duties,
persevering through such difficulties to gain such
knowledge as shall be of use to himself and Others
and offering good example to his relatives and
| acquaintances we may be sure that be is getting
on in the world. Money is very useful article
in its way but it is impossible to get on with
small means, for it is mistake to suppose thai
we must wait for a good deal Of money before We
can do anything. Perseverance, is often better
than full purse. There are more helps toward
getting on than is commonly supposed many
| people lag behind or miss the way altogether be-
cause they do not see the abundant and simple
means which surround them on all sides, and 81
it happens that there are aids that cannot b'
bought with money. Those who wish to get OF
| in the world must have stock OF patience, o
hopeful confidence, willingness to learn and
disposition not easily cast down by difiicultie
and disappointments.-Rec Recorder.

WE FADE AS A LEAF-As the trials of life
ihicken, and the dreams of other days fade, one
BY one, in the deep vista of disappointed hope,
the heart grows weary of the struggle, and we
begin to realize our significance. Those who
have climbed TO the pinnacle of fame, or revel in
luxury and wealth, 60 to the grave at last with
the poor mendicant who begs pennies by the
wayside, and like him are soon forgotten
Generation after generation, says an eloquent
writer, have felt, as we feel, and their fellows
were acting in life as ours are now. They pass
away as a vapor, while nature wore the same as
pect Of beauty as when her creator commanded
her to be. So, likewise shall it be when we are
gone. The heavens will be as bright over our
graves as they are now around our path the
world will have the same attraction for offspring
yet unborn that she had once for ourselves, and
that she has now for her children. Yet little
while and all this will have happened Days
will continue to move on, and laughter and song
will be heard in the very chamber in which we
died and the eye that mourned for US will be
dry and will glisten with joy and even our
children will cease 10 think Of us, and will not
remember to lisp our name.
