weakness takes possession Of us by slow and
imperceptible degrees. It is always safe to
trust those who can trust themselves, but
when man suspects his own integrity, it is
time he was suspected by others. Moral

USE THE MINUTES has been asked,
how can the laboring man find time for self
culture? We answer that an earnest purpose
finds time, or makes time. 1t siezes on spare
minutes, and turns fragments to golden &C
count. A man who follows his calling with
industry and spirit, and uses his earnings
economically, will always have some portion
of the day at his command. And it is as
tonishing how fruitful of improvement short
season becomes, when eagerly seized and
faithfully used. 1t has often been observed
that those who have the most time at their
disposal profit by it the least. A single hour
in the day, steadily given to the study of
some interesting subject, brings unexpected
accumulations Of knowledge.

SMOKING HAMs.-I received new idea
from Mr.. Locke, says correspondent Of the
Neao England Farmer, in regard to smoking
hams. Let the hams remain frozen and
wrapped in papers through the cold weather
In the spring smoke your barrel, by gradu-
ally burning under it, VIE inverted,
bushel of cobs. Then rinse the barrel with
warm water, that is to be used in making the
brine For one hundred pounds of meat use
ten pounds of salt, two quarts of molasses,
two ounces of saltpetre, with water enough
to cover the meat. Scald the brine, skim
it, and put it with the hams packed in the
smoked barrel. Treated in this way, the
hams have the taste of smoked meat, without
smoking, and will keep, like other salt meat,
through the summer.

had pleasant meeting here last week. In
joking one another, General B. told the
following, which very humorously hits of
General Marshalls immense size: When
Gen. NJ. heard that Gen. Pegram intended to
visit Kentucky with his command, he felt as
if his own preserves were being poached up
on, and sent word to Pegram that he mus
not come into the State. Pegram replied
that he was preparing, and intended to enter
Kentucky at once. Marshall declared that
if he did he would have to pass over his
(MarshalPs) dead body. Whereupon Peg
ram responded that that would be too much
to expect of his artillery, but if he found
the obstacle in his way he would immediate

the following recipe will be found excellent
and the dish wholesome and very quickly
made One pint of milk and one-half pint
of -four, two eggs, pinch of salt, favor with
nutmeg, bake in square tin pans, in hot
oven about half an hour, as it is quickly
made and can be put in the oven just before
sitting down to dinner and be just ready
when wanted. Serve with butter and sugar.
1 can give you another recipe for muffin as
delicate as it is excellent. One pint of milk,
one pint of -four, two eggs and one pinch Of

pans in hot oven. There is no saleratus
used, which is not fit to put in the stomach
of any ono.''

WHAT FARMER ONCE Told Us.-That
the success of farming is in experience.
That to ask mans advice is not STOPPING,
but often of much benefit.
That kindness to stock, like good shelter,
is saving of fodder.
That to fight weeds is to favor grain, and
do justice to your neighbor.
That in making home agreeable you keep
your boys out of the city.
That it is good thing to grow into farm
ing-not to jump into it.
That it is good thing to keep an eye on
experiments. and note all, good and bad.
That it IS good rule to sell your grain
when it is ready.
That the first mellow soil in spring is your
mellowest, and should first be put in.
That great changes of weather hurt cattle,
as well as men.
That all of farming is summed up in the
manure heap made on the farm.
That to keep place for everything, and
everything in its place, saves many step,
and is pretty sure to lead to good tools, and
keep them in order.

How TO DRAW TEA.-When you pour
boiling water upon the tea, it causes most of
the aroma to escape with the steam. First
pour tepid or cold water enough on the tea
to cover it, place it where it will warm, but
not enough so as to cause the aroma to
escape in the steam Let it remain about
half an hour, pour on boiling water and
bring to the table.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

How TO MAKE PAPER TRANSPARENT
Artists, architects, land surveyors, and all
who have occasion to make use Of tracing
paper in their professional duties, will be
G lad to know that any paper capable of the
transfer of a drawing in ordinary ink, pencil,
or water colors, and that even a stout draw
ing paper, can be made as transparent as the
thin yellowish paper at present used for
tracing purposes. The liquid used is ben,
zine. If the paper be damped with pure and
fresh distilled benzine it at once assumes a
transparency, and permits of the tracing be-
ing made, and of ink or water colors being
used on its surface without any running.
The paper resumes its opacity as the benzlne
evaporates, and if the drawing is not then
completed the requisite portion of the paper
must be again damped with benzine. The
transparent calico, on which indestructiblo
tracings can be made, was most valuable
invention, and this new discovery of the
properties of benzine will prove of further
services to many branches of the art profess
sion, in allowing the use Of stiff paper where
formerly only slight tissue could be used.

COMPLAINTS made by many property owners In

IL Is claimed, ana with some justice that the cir.
cumstance Of high prices being obtained for special
parcels OF property there sometimes alter extensive
advertising, ana with other agencies TO induce
speculative activity, does not indicate general
appreciation OF property In that neigbborhood up to
the same standard OF valuation This argument Is
urged with particular force by the owners OF unm-
proved property who are most urgent in their dese
for Il readjustment Of the basis OF taxation now
ruling. Paterson real estate owners are not sipgu
lar IN this dissatisfaction.
