TrnnspIamt,ng wild Flowers.

1t is well.know that many of our wild
flowers are very beautiful, but are permitted
to remain in their forest or rocky beds, on
account of the trouble with some, and the
uncertainty of growth with Others. We
refer to the subject now with the view to
invite attention to it, and to urge upon all
to increase the coming season their stock OF
flowers from the wild varieties to be found
in almost every locality. They should bs
taken up with as large u ball of earth around
the roots as possible, and to remove them
use grocers' conical paper bags, which will
be found useful in preventing the earth from
being shaken from the roots while carrying
them home. They should be planted as
soon as possible, in soil somewhat similar to
that from which they were removed, and wa
would add in places where the sun will not
have full effect upon them. They should
be wstercd frequently transplsnting, and all
the flower.st stems, if any should be removed.

From the Germantown Telegraph.

CREAM PIE.-Oue pint good sweet cream,
one egg, one tablespoon even full OF Hour,
one pinch of salt, flavor with lemon and
sweeten to taste Beat the egg light then
add tho -four and stir into the cream The
above is for one pie in baking dish or
what suits you better, and bake like pump
kin or potato pie with only an undercrust.
Put the lemon on the sugar
CUP CAKE.-Three cups Of sugar, one-and
"A half of butter, six well beaten eggs, three
cups of silted -four one cup of milk, littls
soda and double the quantity OF cream OF
tartar use my judgment about the Hour.
One pint of flour with a teaspoon OF cream
of tartar in it, one cup of sugar, one cup OF
milk with half a teaspoon of soda in 1t, one
egg and piece of butter the size of an egg.
Bake in loaf
Brown BETTIE--Take any tin pan that
will hold the quantity you wish, sprinkle
few bread crumbs in the bottom, then lay
er of apples pared and sliced, layer of
brown sugar with sprinkling OF cinnamon
or nutmeg, then bread crumbs and so on to
the top which should be bread crumbs with
bits of butter over them. Pour in teacup
of water and bake and eat with cream aud
sugar. NELLIE.
To MAKE TAFFy.-Mrs. Julia A. Young,
in tho Western Rural, gives us her mode Of
making this sweetmeat of which children
are so fond, as follows:
Put into pan, or some shallow vessel, a
quarter of pound of butter and pound of
brown sugar set it upon the stove and stir
together for fifteen minutes, or until little
of the mixture dropped into basin or water
will break clean between the teeth without
sticking, to them. Any favoring that is
desired, as lemon, pine, apple or vanilla
should be added just before the cooking ID
completed. The tatfy, when done, should
be poured into shallow dish, which is but
tered on the bottom and edges. BY drawing
! knife across it when it is partially cool, i
can easily be broken into squares. Molasse
! may be used instead of sugar, but it is MOI
SO brittle. This taffy is most excellen
thing Tor a cough, aud one which children
a;a s-s;ly re's-aaea 20 take,

GUARD AGAINST VULGAR LANGUAGE
There is as much connection Setweeu the
words and the thoughts as there Is between
the thouphts and actions. The latter is on
ly the expression Of the former, but they
have IL power to react upon the soul, and
leave the stain of corruption there. y young
man who allows himself to use one vulgar
or profaue word has not only shown there
is foul spot upon his mind but by the ut.
terance of that word he extends that spot
and inaames it, till by indulgence it vii!
pollute ana ruin the soul. BE careful of
your words as of your thoughts If you can
control the tongue so that no improper
words are pronounced by it, you will soon
he able to control the mind and save it from
corruption. You eXtingush the fire by
smothering it, or by preventing bad thoughts
bursting into language. Never utter word
anywhere which you would be ashamed
to speak in the presence of the most rcli-
gious man. Try this practice little while,
and you will soon have command of your,

MISCELLANEOUS.
Going haoIne with the Girls.

The entrance to society may be said to
take place after Doyhood has passed away,
yet multitude take the initiative before
their hearts are presentable. 1t is great
trial to tender or tough age. For any over
grown boy to go to u door, knowing there
are dozen girls within and knock or ring
with absolute certainty that in two minutes
all their eyes will be upon him, is severe
test of courage. To 90 before these girls
and make satisfactory tour of the room
without stepping on their toes, and then
sit down and dispose of ones hands is an
achievement of which few Can boast. If q
boy can get SO far us to measure OIL ten yards
of tape and manage to cut 1t short at one
end he may stand pleasant chance tospend
a pleasant evening but let him not tatter
the trials Of the evening arc over. There
comes at last the breaking up. The dear
girls don their hoods and put on their
shawls, and look so saucy, so mischievous
and impressible, as if they did not wish any
one to 90 home with them. Then comes
the pinch, and the boy having the most
pluck makes up to the prettiest girl, his
heart in his throat, and his tongue clingin 8
to the roof Of his mouth, and crookng his
elbow, stammCrs out the words "Sha!l see
you home Z" She touches her finger to his
arm, and thus they walk home about Il foot
apart, feeling as awkward as goslngs. AS
soon as she is safe inside her own doors, he
struts home and really thinks he has been
and done it.-Erie Dispatch.

A TERRIBLE TRACED occurred near
Sewelsville, Ohio, last month. One Thos.
Carr fell in love with daughter of his en-
ployer, Miss Louisa Fox, and desired to
marry her. The young lady being but four.
teen years old the suit was denied by her
parents, and Carr at once determined upon
murder. He procured razor and started
for the house of Mr.. Fox, when he met
Louisa on the road, accompanied by youn-
ger brother Carr turned about and they
walked together During the conversation
which ensued, the girl told him that her
grandmother, whose house she had just
left, had told her that her parents had
determined that she should never keep his
company again. The reply or Carr was that
"hc guessed both Of them had n short time
to live" adding the query, Louisa, are
you prepared ~ To which she responded,
II am." Immediately after her reply lie push
ed her down and drew out razor, which
he had hitherto kept concealed IN his pocket,
and proceeded to cut her throat. The girl
threw up her hands, which were fearlully
gashed in the struggle. 1t appears that she
did not make an Outcry or plead Tor her NE,
so rapidly was the deed consummatcd. Sub
seQuent examination showed that the vic
TINS head was nearly severed from her
BODY. The murderer returned to Sewells-
vile and borrowed a gun. He then proceed
ed by a roundabout course to coal bank,
near Mr.. Fox's house, the home of the muir
dered girl, where he passed the night, during
which he ventured to the front window,
! watching the neigh6ors while they prepared
the body of the girl for burial. The next
day he shot himself with the gun, and
thinking the wound not fatal cut his throat
with shoe knife, just after which he was
! discovered apd arrested. He will not recover
from his wounds.

ARsENE HoCsCAYF.-The celebrated
French critic, in his recent work on Female
Beauty, speaks in very complimentary terms
of the prepossessing appearance of American
ladies we have beautiful women in
France, and so has every other nation, but
Of one thing am quite sure, that no people
can boast of more beauties among its women
than the North Americans. Go to one OF
their evening parties, and unless every cor
ner of your heart is already occupied, you
are certain to fall in love. You will hardly
meet there young girl but that is attractive
in the highest degree. The charms Of the
women OF all other counties arc to he blen.

"E'I,e Coming shin"

The coming ship" as the intended rival
Of the Great Eastern is designated has at
present been exhibited, in model only, in
San Francisco. 1t is to bc of the same size
as the Great Eastern, except that in
stead of twenty. eight it will draw only eigh.
teen feet, and carry proportionally less ton.
mage. 1t is designed to carry four times as
many passengers rs any present style of ship
and to substitute for hunks regular beds it
will also give four times the space to a state
room. The San Francisco Times SAYS: The
present mode of bunking passengers is un-
worthy OF the age. Seasickness, if preven-
tiblc by construction, should be rendered
obsolete. This dcsideratum is attained in
Thomas Slvers coming ship; it is secured
by the proportions of the ship; and by
there being thirty feet less of the hull out
OF water than the Great Eastern, but the
motion Is rendered almost imperceptibe
! by new device. The state rooms, instead
OF being at the outside limits of the vessel
are ainidships that is, along the centre linz
of the ship, where the roll is scarcely per.
! ccptible. The saloon is to be five hundred
leet long, and clear of distractions. 1t il
not for dining. Instead of public table
there are to be two competing restaurants
at the extremities adjoining the saloons
ihe ship will sell passage only the boart
oeihg payable as meals are ordered. 1t il
contemplated to carry second class passen
gers aud thirdclass in the same way. Tht
present hrst class hunks will be for third
class berths.

THE WORKINGS OF NATURE.


There is no rushing sound
When the broad tide Of light
Breaks on our world around
In floods Of glory bright.
AS from It's source il rolls,
Millions of miles away,
Sweeping from pole to pole,
Creating endless day.
There is no labored sigh
Nor pun of engine sound,
No drivers urging cry
As the earth goes rolling round.
Planets and systems tread
With noisel ess step along,
As round the sun they're led
By attracting power strong.
Great trees and plants appear,
Their bows and blossoms grow,
And scarce a sound we hear
As seasons come and go.
Till oceans solemn lay,
In one unceasing sound,
IL heard both night and day
Tho rolling sphere around.
The hurricanes boisterous roar
And notes Of softening breeze,
The black browed storms lore,
And whispering of the trees.
These swelling anthems raise
In universal song
To the Creators praise,
The stream Of time along.
