Mince Meat.

As the time for mince pies is now here,
I offer you the following, which think
every one who tries will pronounce excel
lent:
Chop fine six pounds of well boiled
cold beef; two pounds of suet; cut in
half and remove the seeds from six pounds
of raisins wash thoroughly two pounds
of dried currants, but do not allow them
to lie in the water; cut fine two pounds of
citron put all in a large stone jar and add
one quart of homemade cherry or cur
rant wine, one gallon of boiled cider,
three grated nutmegs, the juice and grated
rind Of two lemons, one peck of apples,
pared and chopped fine; one tablespoon
of ground cloves, one of alspice and two
of cinnamon one teaspoon of salt, and
mix all well together. If the dried fruit
and sugar are beyond your command,
canned currants and cherries and nice
sorghum molasses will do as substitutes,
using watermelon rind preserved with
brown sugar instead of citron. This will
keep two months or more in closed jars

Thar's Folks Ont Here.

A writer who signs himself Z. d. 2.
in the West Georgia Gazette, tells this
pretty good story of the late war.
Our troops, Oongstreets), already de
cimated from exposure, want of food,
clothing and medicine, and by the dead
ly rifles of skulking bushwhackers in the
vicinity of Tennessee, where we
had wintered, cut off from all commune
cation with Dixie, after the disastrous af-
fair at Missionary Ridge, the loss of which
stronghold forced our leaders to raise the
siege of Knoxville. These almost daily
battles had so terribly thinned our little
remnant, that when we arrived in front
of Richmond there were so few that we
hailed with delight the advent of the con-
scripts, though we laughed until the tears
came into our eyes to see the poor fell
lows come into camp looking so sad and
ready to cry. Poor fellows! we pitted
them. But their fearful countenances
and long jeans eoats-the skirts of which
almost touched the ground-and haver-
sacks made of half bolster case, filled
with baked pullets and biscuits, to say
nothing of two or three bed quilts hang
ing on their shoulders, was intensely lu-
dicreus to us.
We were getting together in skirmish
party early enc morning, to drive some
Federal sharpshooters from our front,
when one of the above poor fellows who
didn't want to flte,' CAME into camp ter
be soger,' and he was forthwith put on
detail, armed, and told to do as the other
men did. Scrambling over the breast
works, the line deployed and advanced
briskly through field near a wood, along
the edge Of which were the Feds. A
bang! whizl zip! and a Minnie made a
dab at our hero's feet. He cut d double
shuttle, and looked askance at his COM
rades; but seeing that they took no notice
of it, concluded it was an accident, and
went on few steps further, when a crash
ing volley from the woods acted like a
heavily charged galvanic battery on our
heros system. He fairly yelled with
amazement and CONSERVATION, as, cutting
a pigeon-wing that would have done credit
to Blondin, he tore himself loose from
the quilts, haversack and gun, and with
bursting eyes and quivering lips, through
which in hard drawn breathing issued,
80 Lor-dy o m-e-e!' and with that long
coat-tail Tapping perpendicularly to the
zenith, he made for the safe side of a tree,
and voice of agony, above the ringing
of rifles and the wild yell of our charging
line, he shouted:
81 say, you man over there in the
woods, my God Almighty, don't shoot
this way. Thar's folks out here"

Love Poetry n Lost Art.

Among the ''Lost Arts" NAV be class
ed, we venture to think, the art of writing
love songs. Do people in general not OBJ
serve the fact that this branch Of Iitera-
ture has withered completely and fallen
off the tree? There are no love songs
now; none such as the gladstone, warm.
hearted, strong-voiced singers of other
days delighted to pour fourth-songs OF
self-suficing passion and homage and iov;
songs to stir the feelings, and to make the
old grow young again songs to strength.

grown too wicked, and we are ashamed
to acknowledge that what we love in wo-
wan is, first of all, her womanhood per.
haps sentiment has, for the time, extin-
pushed emotion. Lately the fact was
remarked to lady, who insisted that she
knew several love songs of the present
day. ''Name one, for instance" "Well
there is Ben Bolt. Just so, we
don't very well know "Ben Bolt" but
we remember it as something pulling,
pretty and sentimental. We have plenty
of little musical wailings, tender efusions
of pathos, gentle chnrchyard sort of min.
strelsy about love; but such as that is nc
love song. Even Swinburne, the most
audacious writer living, has no CLEAN OF
gladness in his poems about love. They
are profoundly sad, morbid and bitter
sad in their very consciousness. Oul
American poets are so plaintive, subdued
and depressing in their way of approach,
ing the subject as to remind one of the
minor minstrels of Germany's later and
feebler days. They suggest that class o.
lovers described in one ofGeo. Meredith.
