Some facetous lover Of 'kakes' has PROFOUND.
Cd the following batch of new recipes:
There are many kinds OF kakee.-soms of one
kind and some not.
The "ho-kake' is particularly adapted to that
kind OF society who have nothing to bake, and
nothing but hoe 70 bake it on. 1t is native
OF Westward, ho!'
Ice kake is good enough to weigh down lemon
peels in dog days; also to hold batter that would
otherwise travel on the plate; also toothsche.
Grease kake, otherwise called doughnut alias
"crulls,' is made by holding hunks Of dee by
the fingers, in bilin hot grease. They are . very
common bnt unhealthy beverage
Pound kAke" is my favorite. l always aim
to get one that rups eighteen TO twenty or TO
the pound-there is more good eating in it for
the money
Sponge kake is pound kske only it 10 little
different, and don't run 40 many to the pound,
though uupraktikal eye would think it a
cheaper kake.
Oil sake is the squeezirs oi oil mill. They
are good for cows milk and fat horses. II ID
never knoed in well regulated dairy, as 1t
makes he hair too slick, and rain having no
effect the milk.
Bride. kuks" | don't know much about
this kake, as never was bride. But sup
pose they make it very sweet

The Preacher's stra,eeeem1. .

1t is said that one time when Lorenzo Dow
preached under large spruce pine in South
Carolina, he announced another appoint ment for
Preaching IN the, same place that. day twelve
months The year passed, and as Lorenzo was
was entering the neighborhood ON tho evening
preceding his appointment, he overlook eoloreA
boy who was blowing . long tin horn, and could
sad forth blast, with rise and swell, and @.
dence which walked the echoes of the distant
NILS. Calling aside the blower. Dow, said, to
him whats your name sir p my names
gabriel replied the brother in ebony. "Well.
Iabriel, have yon been to Church Hill l"Yss,
massa; Use been dar many = time" .'sDO yoa re.
member big pine tree on that hill ?" 80, yes,
massa, knows dat pine" ibid you know that
Lorenzo Dow had an appointment to presch I'M
der that tree tomorrow I" 40, yes, massa, every.
body knows dat" "Wcll, Gabriel, am Lorenzo
Dow, and if you'll take your horn and 90 to-mor.
row morning and climb up into that pine tree,
and hide yourself among the branches before the
people begin to gather, and wait there till call
your name, and then blow such blast with your
horn as have heard you blow q minute ago, I'll
give you dollar Will you do it Gabriel P
"Yes, massa, takes dat dollar"
Gabriel, like Zaccheus. was soon hid in the
tree top. An immense concourse of persons, Of
all sizes and colors, assembled at appoined hour,
and Dow preached on the judgment Of the last
day. By his power of description he wrought
the multitude up to the opening scenes Of the
resurrection and grand assize, at the call Of the
trumpet peals which were to wake the slssping
nations "Then," said he, suppose. my dying
friends, that this should be the hour" Suppose
you should hear at this moment, the sound OF
Gabrisls trumpet" Sure enough, at that mo.
ment the trumpet of Gabriel sounded. The wo-
men shrieked, and many tainted, the men sprsng
and stood aghast; some ran, others fell, and cried
for mercy; and all felt, for time, that the
judgment was set, and the books were opened
Dow stood and watched the driving storm till
the fright abated and some one saw the colored
angel who had caused the alarm quietly perchsd
on a limb Of the old spruce and wanted to get
him down TO whip him, and then resumed his
theme, saying: II forbid all persons from touch
ing that boy up there. Ii a colored boy with
tin horn can brighten you out OF your wits, Whist
will ye do when you shall hear the trumpet of
the archangel How will we be able to stand
iu the great day OF the wrath OF God ~

"Uncle Caesar Pomp." something of a ssnss.
ton preacher, and popular accordingly, on one
occasion undertook TO give his hearers an account
of the creation of man: 'You see, bred'ren,
when de Almighty first make man, he make him
out of de dust of de eari--dat is, out of de mud
in de furro, and den lay him on de top rail of ie
fence to dry him in de sun" Here an eager lit
tie pickannny in the audience jumped up and
interrupted with the trenchant inquiry, HALO
Uncle Caesar Pomp, whar the wood cum from
dat fence made OF 7" Now, when Uncle Caesar
Pomp was 'riled, it is the painful drty of his
historian to record that he was apt to make use
of expressions hardly consistent with his duty as
. preacher. On this particular occasion he was
