A FunnY RInnder.

A few days since a sewing machin,
agent Of this city received advieeI
from Cleveland that a man to whom
he had sold a machine in that plac,
and who had not paid for the same
was about moving away with his fami
lY and had then got his goods aboard /,
steamer destined for Detroit He i'm.
mediately informed the proper author
tiles here, and an official dispatch wai
sent to the chief of police at Detroit in
these words:
"Arrest Pat Higgins. He viii arrive
on the first boat from Cleveland with
sewing mechine."
By some telegraphic freak the last
sentence Of the dispatch, as received
by the Detroit officer, was changed to
read as follows:
He viii arrive on first boat from
Cleveland with Seventy machines"
The officer was promptly on hand
when the boat touched the dock, and
went aboard to search for the man
with ''seventy Machines He found
numerous suspicious looking men, but
failed to discover seventy machines of
any description in the entire cargo, and
had about concluded that the property.
had been shipped in another direction,
or by some other conveyance, when by
further inquiry he chsnced to find Pat
Higgins with sewing machine, and
be took them in. The agent went
over to Detroit on the first train, re-
covered his property, and allowed Pat
to proceed on his journey, with his
family, but without one of the oseven.

sweet Corn for WInter.

A Tennessee correspondent sends u:
the following note: 'EYour Hopper.
in late number of Hearth and Home
gives a letter from Kansas lady with
reference to opnttibg up green corn fol
winter use. Her directions for putting
it up are correct. Shave it from the
cob, and pack it in an open vessel with
layers Of salt We never have fears Of
getting too much salt, as we do not
think large quantity Injuries the corr.
Her plan for preparing it to be used is
not good, however The whole secret
Of success lies there. 1t must not be
soaked over night, in fact, it must not
be soaked at all, but it must be soalded.
Have a vessel of boiling water ready, d,
and throw your corn into it. Let It
simmer few minutes then pour off
and refill with boiling water. Do this
three times, and your corn viii be
ready for cooking. The hot water
cooks the milk in the corn and prevents
its soaking away whereas, if cold
water was used, the milk, and, con-
sequently, the richness and flavor of
the corn would pass aWay with it.
Corn put up and treated in this way
will be just as good after having been
kept five years, as it was when first cut
from the cob. Hearth and Home.

A few AGaxims for Young Eadieg


Never make your appearance in the morn
ing without having first baihed, if only with
sponge and quart of water, brushed and
arranged your hair and dressed yourself
neatly and -eompletely.a 1IlE7 1870
Keep your Clothing, especially your un-
der clothing, in perfect order. Never lei
pins DO duty as buttons, or strings take the
place Of proper bands.
Examine every garment when il comes
from the wash. and if necessary mend II
with neatness and precision. Do not sew
up the holes In your stockings as We have
seen some careless, untidy girls do, but
take broad margin around the hole, be ii
small or large, with a fine darniDg needle
and darning cotton and cover the fracture
with an interlaced stitch so close as to be as
strong as the body Of the stocking and fine
enough to be ornamental Stockings mend
ed in this way need darning but few times
In the course Of their existence.
Never carry coarse embroidered or lace
handkerchiefs. Fine point ones are much
more lady-llke.
Avoid open-wOrked Stockings and very
iancy slippers. Fine, plain, white hose and
black kid slippers. with only a strap or
roset1e IN front, are more becoming
Train yourself to some useful occupation.
Remember it is wicked to waste time, and
nothing gives such an impression of vanity
and absolute Stiffness as a habit of idling
and never having any thing to do.
II you are in your fathers house take
some department Of household labor upon
yourself, and part Of the sewing, and make
II your business to do it. Do not let call
from This idle girl, or a visit from that, or an
invitation from the other, interfere with the
performance Of your duty,
Let y0nr pleasures come in as the recrea-
too, not as the business of your life.
4f you want to marry do not court or try
10 sftrect the attention Of gentlemen. 4
little wholesome ind ference, real or as
sunled, win be much more likely to ac-
complish the object. Consider, moreover,
that it is better to be a woman than a wife,
and do not degrade your sex by making
your whole existence turn on the pivot Of
matrimOny.
If you can, cultivate to perfection some
art by which you can gain -an independent
livelihood. Do it-WhetheF there is auoe q
sity for il or not. Do it quietly f.yeu will.
but do it. There is 40 telling v hen or under
What circumstances you may need it,
