The Mystery of Editing.

The world at large does not understand
the mysteries of a newspaper and as in a
watch the hands, that are seen, are but the
passive instruments of the springs, which
are never seen, so in u newspaper the most
worthy causes of its prosperity are often
least observed or known. Who suspects
the benefit which the paper derives from the
enterprise, the vigilance, and the watchful
fidelity of the publisher Who pauses to
think how much of the pleasure of reading
is derived from the skill and care of the
printer2 We feel the blemishes Of printing
if they exist, but seldom observe the excel
lences.
We eat a hearty dinner, but do not think
of the farmer that raises the material there.
o., or the cook that prepares them with in
finite pains and skill But q cook of vege
tables, meat, pasty, and infinite onions,
has paradisaical Office in comparison with
an editor. Before him pass all the exchange
newspapers. He is 10 know sN their
contents, to mark for other eyes the matter
that requires attention. His scissors are to
he alert, and clip with inccssant industry
all the little items that together form so
large an interest in the news department.
He passes in review, each week, every State
in the Union, through the newspaper lens
He looks across the ocean and sees strange
lands, and, following the sun, be searches
all around the world for material. 1t will
require but one second for the reader to
take in what two hours search produced.
BY him are read the manuscripts that swarm
the office like flies in July 1t is his frown
that dooms them. 1t is his hand that con-
denses a whole page into line. 1t is his
discreet sternness that restricts sentimental
obituaries; and gives poets twig on which
to sit and sing their first lays.
And the power behind tue throne in
newspapers, as in higher places, is some.
times as important as tue throne. itself.
Correspondents, occasional or regular, stand
in awe at the silent power which has the
last glance at M article, and may send it
forth in glory or humility. And, in short,
as the health of the body depends upon a
good digestion, so the health of q newspa-
per depends upon that vigorous digestion
which goes on by means of the editor.
Ought they not to be honored2 And
since little fame attends them, they should
at least have their creature comforts multi
plied.-H W. Beecher.

Home Affection.

When we think that every house might
be cheered by intelligence, disinterestedness
and refinement, and then remember in how
many houses the higher powers and alice
tions of human nature are buried as in tombs.
what darkness gathers over society Well
may the cloud of darkness deepen and en-
large, especially after 50 much boasting of
ours that we are in the van of the nations
of the world for intelligence and refinement
and general culture. How many homes are
really cheered and made perpetually happy
by the introduction of suitable books, of
music, or of interesting social conversation
In how many homes might not an almost
miraculous change be wrought by the intro
duction OF amusements, the presence of which
gives birth to brood of new thoughts,
awakens distinct class Of domestic associ
ations, stimulates the higher and warmer
sentiments, opens the social faculties to the
performance of good and healthy work,
and insensibly draws all members of family
together, making one whole and harmonious
circle, where before was, perhaps, only dis
cord. The influences of these little things
are far more potent and permanent than
people generally have au idea of they work
actively, even if they are not seen, in the
very fact of their operation. We greatly err
when we underrate these influences for they
take hold closely and powerfully on our lives
and our happiness. A family in whose
midst no radiance springs from the workings
Of affection, and the exchange of sweet and
high and tender sentiment, is dweller in
regions Of darkness indeed, and will never
know their real capacity for enjoyment until
they have come out Of this valley Of gloom
and despair. What wonder that our public
affairs are in such state of confusion, when
private lives are, so many of them, unsatis.
factory and in darkness.

RECIPES, sc.

How 10 MAKE A CRANBERRY Pie -There
are various ways to do it. Some make them
open, like custard or squash pie This !9
good, but not 50 good as to cover like sn
apple pie. DO not stew the berries, as some
do, before baking, but slit each berry with
q knife. This will preserve the freshness Of
the fruit, which is quite an important thing.
\ coffee-cupful OF berries and an equal
quantity of white sugar will make midium-
sized pie. Those who like a sweet pie should
have more sugar, also more berries if desired.
Bake as usual. A little flour siited over the
fruit gives it a thicker cousistence. One
thing should not be forgotten-add small
tea cup(ul of water. We will give the re.
ceipt in short: One coffee cuptul OF slit
berries, the same quantity of white sugar,
half the quantity of water, with little fon!
added or not. This is one of the very best
pies for variety as we'll as good eating
Country Gentleman.
MINcE pIEs.-The following receipt for
minoc pies, which are now in season, is re-
commended to the editor OF the Germantown
Telegraph by the lady who has used it for
many years. Boil fresh beef tongue tender,
let it get cold, then chop it fne, with one
pound of suet, one half peck of apples, two
pounds of currants picked and washed very
carefully, one pound Of citron sliced, half ala
ounce each of powdered cloves, nlspice, cin-
namon and ginger; three pints of sweet cider,
one pint of Madeira, half pint OF brandy,
with enough sugar to sweeten to your taste.
This will make large full jar.
To Cook SPARE. RIB.-Take a whole sida
of fresh spare,rib, break the bones so as TO
be able to carve them nicely, fold them to.
gether with the bones inward, then with
strong thread sew the edges firmly, leaving
space at one end to put in the filing, which
should be prepared as if for fowls; after fill
ing them finish the sowing, sprinkle little
salt and pepper over it, anG roast one hour
Do not put much water in the pan.- Ger

Coon RUsKs. Mrs A. Bland, in the Vest

making first class light biscuit
Two tea cups fsugar, two thirds of cup

of good lively yeast, and -four sufficient to
make a soft sponge. Set it where it will be

HELP THE PooR-This is a season of the
year when many poor family needs help
not alms-but remunerative employment.
Some will apply for aims; Others, perhaps
more needy, will suffer in silence. 1t is sug-
gested that the money expended in aims,
public and private, if used to give employ
ment to the poor in clearing the sidewalks
and in doing other jobs for the accommoda-
iiou and com fort of the public, would be
more likely to reach the really deserving and
70 more effectually relieve want than it does
when bestowed without any returns for it.
II is much better to help the poor to help
Themselves than to bestow aims and make
paupers of them. Every city has an army OF
poor. who would gladly work aud earn
living, if they had a chance, but who exc
out miserable existen ce and to a great ex-
tent become objects of charity; while, II some
system were adopted whereby employment
could lie given them, the money bestowed
upon them in aims would keep the streets
clean and complete many public work
which is now done at an extra expense.
True public economy would give work to the
able bodied, and aims only to the helpless

HUMOROUS.

In some places, where a preacher gets q
footing, it is sometimes easier to get a
"meetin house" full than to get wherewith
to support the laborer, who is nowhere more
"worthy of his hire" A preacher in from
tier settlement had been collecting money
for some church object. There were still!
some twenty dollars wanting, and after
vain efforts to make up the deficiency he
plainly intimated as he locked the church
door one day after service, that lie intended
to have that said twenty dollars before any
one left the house. At the same time he
set the example by tossing five dollars on
the table. Another put down dollar, and
so on. The parson read out every now and
then the state of the funds "Thar's seven
and half, my friends" "Thar's nine and 4
quarter" "Ten and six bits are oil that are
in the hat, friends and Christian brethren"
Slowly it mounted up. Twelve and a half"
Fourteen. Fifteen" sixteen and three
bits" and so on until it struck at nineteen
dollars and a half. "It only wants fifty
cents, friends, TO make up the amount. Will
nobody make it up r" Everybody has sub.
scribed, and not cent more was forthcom-
| ing. Silence reigned, aud how long it
| might have lasted it was difficult to say, had
not half dollar been thrown through the
| open window, and q rough explanatory
voice shouted, "IIere parson, there's yer
money let out my gal. I'm about tired
waitin' for her !"
