NEWSPAPER POWER.

Thirty years ago." says Wilkes Spirit,
"the orators ruled America: to-day it is
ruled by the editors" 1t adds: "There
is a class of men among bankers and
merchants and lawyers who affect IA
condescension toward the journalists
which is intensely amusing. The wri-
ter for the newspaper appears 10 their
blinking eyes kind of literary adven-
turer, who is to be tolerated for his
genius, but not TO be trusted in business.
They are ignorant that it sells their
goods, furnishes all their facts, and pre-
SCENTS them gratuitously with opinions.
They do not know, as Jay Cooke does,
that newspapers of America sold two
thousand millions of national bonds,
They do not know, as Edwin NJ. Stan
ton knows, that the newspapers of Amer
lea sent five hundred thousand men TO
the war. Newspapers lead them by the
nose wherever they go but they do not
feel the pressure, which is the reason
why we give this special tweak."

Misfell


Not all the wealth of the Indies, not
all the power Alexander possessed, can
procure for the heart that degree of last
ing peace, that fulness of comfort that
all more or less are in search of How
often when the wide acres of affiuence
stretch before the eye, does the thought
intrude; sis the proud owner happier
than others 2" or does the beauty of the
outward but contrast the unquiet rest.
lessness of a sad heart? "
There is much in a world spread in
loneliness to sooth and comfort the heart,
yet man is not so dependent upon the
the outward as to be made happy by 1t,
If there is not first sunshine in the heart.
The domain of intellect has world of
satisfaction within its borders, and in
the solace of well chosen friendship the
heart can almost forget unhappiness,
yet not quite forget it. There must be
pence that peace which is the blessing
of heaven at home-in the soul, and
then the face of nature, the gift Of life,
all contribute to the main sum of bliss.
That we are to be made happy in spite
of the manifold trials of life-is evident.
''Man was" not "to mourn" and he
who does so, is rebel in a universe OF
love. 1t is not, perhaps, always how
much of our happiness we derive from
ourselves. A conscience that speaks
peace, an intellect cleared of the mists
of error-aboye all, contented mind
| with that portion of earthly good as
signed us-these constitute the real hap
piness of all. A spirit that looks on life
with loving generosity toward others,
gains by their prosperity, brightens in
their success, and docs more to make
the possessor happy, than all of wealth
or honor without it. Added to these
heart-qualities, the peace of a heart re-
conciled to its Makay and there are a
thousand innocent 10. within the reach

beauty of landscape, not now necessa-
ry to procure the pleasure derived from
books. A small garden-even the cher.
ished plant in the window-is a source
of pleasure; and where the mind is wait
ing to be pleased, the very Sounds o.
life, rural or otherwise, are each musi-
cal with joy. Knowledge opens her
store-house for the winter evening
while piety silvers all of earth with Di-
vine goodness, striking q vista through
its deepest sorrow, to that world where
the obedient are filled with the fulness OF
joy.

OsrELET.-Beat up four or six eggs
very vol; add : vsry little salt and
pepper, and one spoonful OF good milk
or cream. Have ready piece of butter
IN the omelet-pan; stir it round until
quite hot, and turn in the egg; stir it for a
minute. AS soon as it begins to set,
raise it from the edge of the pan with a
knife; let it brown little, and lap il
half over. Slip it into dish. Send it
to table very hot or it is not good.
This is very nice when meat, parsley,
or any kind of seasoning is either stirred
into the egg or laid on to one-half Of the
omelet, with the other half tapped oyer
it.

SHORT CRUST FOR SWEET PASTRY
Crumble down very lightly half pound
of butter into pound of flour, breaking
is.4-~.i--l z-ssail.- mix well Yes OF sfrtet,
sugar, and sufficient milk to make them
up into very smooth and somewhat
firm paste; bake this slowly and keep il
pale. 1t will be found an admirable
crust if well made and lightly handled,
and will answer for dishes much better
than puff paste; it will rise in the oven,
too, and be extremely light. Ten ounces
of butter will render it very rich, but
we find eight quito sufficient.

LAMB OUTLETS AND SPINACH Eight
outlets, egg and bread crumbs, salt and
pepper to taste, little clarified butter.
Take the outlets from a neck of lamb,
and shape them by cutting off the thick
part Of the chine-bone. Trim off most
of the fat and all the skin, and scrape the
top part of the bones quite clean. Brush
the outlets over with egg, sprinkle them
with bread crumbs, and season with
pepper and salt. Now dip them into
clarified butter, sprinkle over few
more bread crumbs, and fry them over
sharp fire, turning them when requir-
ed. Lay them before the fire to drain,
and arrange them OH dish with spinach
in the centre, which should be previous
ly well boiled, drained, chopped and
seasoned; Pens, asparagus, or beans
may be substituted for the spinach.

pepper. Stir it up; have ready some

Boys that Should not Stay on the Farm.

If the only good that boy ever did about
the farm vast to repair the pumps, hang
gates, make mole traps, put in rake teeth,
file the saw, and hang the grindstone, and
he hid these things well, obviously the farm
is not the place for him, but machine shop
is. If boy will walk half dozen miles
after the days work is done, to hear po-
litical speech; if he takes time from play to
attend trials before a justice of the peace,
and sits up half the night when he is going
to school to learn declarations which bring
down the house at spelling-schoob most
likely he will do the world more good if
you put law-book and not a manure fork
into his hand. If he earns more money
trading jack knives aud fish-lines on rainy
days, than he does hoeing potatoes and cut
ting grain in fair weather, give him a
chance at the yard stick, and not have him
around troubling the other boys who are
handling horse-rakes and pitch-forks and
the like employment. Again, if boy is
skillful in skinning small animals and stuff
ing birds, if he practiced making pills of
mud when he was child, and extracted
teeth from the jaws of dead horses with pin
cheers when he got older; if he reads physi
ologies, when his brothers are deep in Rob
inson Crusoe, he will be far more likely to
succeed with a lancet than with scythe.

Self.Made Men.

The maxim that "every man is the arch
itect of his own fortune has been strik-
ingly verified and illustrated in the history
of American statesmen. The following
collection of facts respecting some of our
great men may prove interesting.
Very few of the fathers of our Republic
were the inheritors of distinction. Wash
ington was almost the only gentleman by
right of birth in all that astonishing COM
pany of thinkers and actors. Two or three
Nirginians, John Jay of New York, and
half 4 dozen meaner men from other pro-
vinces were exceptions. But Franklin was
a printers boy; Sherman a shoemaker;
Knox was book binder; Green, black
smith; John Adams and Marshall, the sons
of poor farmers; and Hamilton, the most
subtle, fiery, and electrical, but at the same
time the most composed and orderly genius
of all, excepting the unapproachable chief,
was of as humble parentage as the rest,
and himself at the beginning clerk or
shopkeeper. And if we come down to a
later period, Daniel Webster was the son of
country farmer, and was rescued from
the occupation of drover only be the
shrewd observation of Christopher Gore,
whom he called upon for advice in respect
to a difficulty arising from the sale Of a
pair of steers; and John C. Calhoun was
the son of a tanner and currier; the father
of Henry Clay belonged to the poorer class
of Baptist preachers; Martin Van Buren,,
during the fitful leisure of the day, gather
ed pine knots to light his evening studies;
Thomas Corwin was a wagner; Silas
Wright, by heritage, machinist. In later
times we have had Lincoln of the hat-boat;
johnson, the tailor; Grant, the tanner;
Wilson, the shoemaker's apprentices; and
many others among our statesmen who
received the applause and reverence of
mankind, passed their earlier years at
what, in other countries, would be almost
impossible distances from the eminences
which they now enjoy.
All this is encouraging to our aspiring
young men who would dare and do rather
than lean on the reputation of their ances-
tors. DE- .'..''-
In the old monarchies the question is,
What is your pedigree? or who were your
progenitors? Here, in our republic, the
question is, What have you done ? what
are you doing? at what do you aim? To
do, to grow, to improve, and become all
that God intended us to, is our privilege,
our right, and our duty. "God helps those
who help themselves"
