MAKING SAUERKRAUT. As several
ladies within the past two weeks havo desir>
ed US to publish our recipe for making this
muchsesteemed dish by many persons, we
herewith comply with their request, in order
that it may be in time for this years crop
of cabbages. 1t is this: In the. first place
let your stand holding from a half barrel
to barrel, Oe thoroughly scalded out the
cutter, the tub and the stamper also we'll
scalded. Take off the outer leaves of the
cabbage. halve them, remove the heart, and
proceed with the cutting. Lay some clean
leaves at the bottom of the staud, sprinkle
with handful of salt, fill in half bushel of
the cut cabbage, stamp gently until the juice
makes its appearance, then add another hands
full of salt, and SO on until the stand is full.
Cover over with cabbage leaves, place on
top clean board fitting the space pretty
well, and on top of that stone weighing
twelve or fifteen pounds. Stand away in a
cool place, and when hard freezing comes on
remove to the cellar. 1t will be ready for
use in from four to six weeks. The cab
bage should be cut tolerably coarse. The
Savoy variety makes the best article, but it
is only half as productive as the Drumhead
and Flat Dutch.

TO ONE IN HEAVEN.

Pale star, that with thy soft sad light
Came out upon my bridal eve,
have song to sing to night,
Before thou takst thy mourntul leave.
Since than so softly time hath stirr'd,
That months have almost seemed like hours,
And | am like little bird
That slept too long among the flowers,
And, waking, sits with waveless wing,
Soft singing mid the shades of even;
But, oh, with sadder heart l sing
sing of one who dwells in heaven.
The winds are soft the clouds are few,
- And tenderest thoughts my heart beguile,
As floating up through mist and dew,
The pale Young moon comes out and smiles;
And to the green resOunding shore
In silvery troops the rippes crowd,
Till all the ocean dimpled o'er,
Lifts up its voice and laughs aloud;
And star on star, all soft and calm,
Floats up vou arch sereuely blue;
And lost to earth and stepped in balm,
Ny spirit floats in ether too.
Loved one though lost to human sight,
feel my spirit lingering. near,
As softly as | feel the light
That trembes through the atmosphere;
As in some temples holy shades,
Though mute the hymn aud hush'd the prayer
A solemn awe the soul pervades,
Which tells that worship had been there

Where many censer swung around
Will thrill the wauderer like tone,
Who treads on consecrated ground.

That stoops awhile to dwell with me,
Hath caught the prayer breathed in this,
That at last might dwell with thee.

That thrills me like thy spirit sight,
| hear voice in every breeze,
That makes to 'mne its low replies
voice all low and sweet like thluei
1t gives an answer to my prayer,
And brings my soul from heaven sign
That shall know and meet thee there.
I'll know thee there by that sweet face
Round which a tender halo plays,
Still touched with that expressive grace
That made thee lovely all thy days;
By that sweet smile that o 'er it shed
A beauty like the light of even,
Whose soft expression never fed,
Even when it's soul had flown to heaven.
I'll know thee by the starry crown
That glitters in thy raven hairi
Oh by these blessed signs alone
I'll know thee there-Ill know thee there
For ah thine eye, within whose sphere
The sweets -ot youth aud beauty met,
That swan in love and softness here,
Must swim 10 love and softness yet.
For alb its dark and liquid beams,
Though saddened by thousand sighs,
We're holier than the light that streams
Down from the gates Of Paradise
We're bright and radiant as the morn,
Yet soft and dewy as the eye;
Too sad for eyes where smiles are born,
Too young for ears that learn to grieve.
wonder if this cool sweet breeze
Hath touched thy lips and fann'd thy brow,
For all my spirit hears and sees
Recall thee to my memory now;
For every bour we breathe apart,
Will but increase, if that can be,
The love that fills this little heart,
Already filled so full of thee
Yet many tear these eyes must weep,
And many a sin must be forgiven,
Ere these pale lids shall sink to sleep
Ere thou and shall meet in heaven.

The Humble crave.

The last rays Of the setting sun linger as
if 10th to depart, and elothe in golden tints
the tree-tops and the cold marble pillars.
The clouds float in the heavens here and there
relieved BY patches Of blue, and the gentle
evening breeze plays with the fallen leaves,
and sighs through the leaAess trees a dying
dirge for the lost season.
We tread our way carefully among the
many little mounds, humble monuments to
the sleepers, and pause a moment to read the
inscriptions on pillars and shafts erected to
the memory of the dead. Varied are the
thoughts that crowd upon us as we wend
our way through the silent city Of the Sleep
ing. How many bright hopes have here
found burial how many weary hearts have
yearned for rest; how many dreams of life
here seek their answerl
Truly is death a common leveler. The
rich and the poor, the proud aud the humble
peer and beggar, priest and soldier, the joys
of household aud the friendess outcast, here
rest side by side, and miuge their mOulder,
ing dust together. Death is no respecter Of
persons, is the one lesson which all this
teaches us.
We have come to the object Of our search
"a little grave marked by a marble head
stone. A single ray of golden light iIlu-
mines it as we read the simple inscription
which it bears: "Our Minnie, Aged eight
gears" The grass and Towering vine lie
withered, and the fallen leaves carpet the
little mound. Everything denotes the part
ing season, except lonely evergreen at the
head of the grave. 1t lives, aud, ah, do we
not know that she, too, lives, but in the
better world
When the earth was freed from its icy
fetters, and the flowers put forth their teuder
petals, aud the robins returned to their old
familiar perch to twitter their notes of praise,
we folded her little hands over her lifeless
tresst The sunken eyes told how deep her
suffering had been, but her pale lips gave
back no complaint. Through the solemn
hours of that last night we watched by her
bedside, pressing her fevered head to our
bosom, and Wetting the parched lips, listen
ing with tear.wet eyes and cheeks to her
childish pratte, as in her fevered imagina-
tiOn she was playing by the pebbly stream,
or romping in the garden with doll and
kitten All, too well we saw the coming of
the dreaded messenger, yet feared his
arrival
He came at last, and with him came peace
to one troubled spirit. We saw the change
coming on and gathered around the bedside.
She opened her eyes, and looking around,
saw our tear wet face. Don't cry" she
said, Minnie won't be sick any more !;
she's going away, but you'll come and see
her after a while. Kiss Minnie"
A happy smile illumined her face, the
loving eyes closed, and quietly, peacefully,
she passed to the other side. Yes, our little
one was al rest.
The gave-digger with his pick and spade
made home for the dead. Meath the pro.
tecting shade of friendly tree we laid her.
where the winds gently sigh requium, and
where the birds sing all day long. In this
quiet spot she rests in peace and when far
distant, We love to dream ofthat little mound
Of affection in the humble village graveyard.

TREADING TO ONE SIDE.-The Shoe and
Leather Reporter attributes the cause of
persons treading on one side of the foot, to
the iniudicious practice of parents encour>
aging their children to walk too early, or to
stand and walk for too long time when
they are making their first attempts at BAL
ancing and locomotiOn in infancy. 1t is, at
first, an effort to relieve the weariness occa
stoned BY a continued strain on certain mus
cles of the foot. The bones. ligatures, and
muscles being, at this time. very soft and
yielding, it is plain that deformity of the
foot is likely to result from this temporary
unnatural position, which no subsequent
treatment can ever entirely correct. Bow
legs, knock knees, and one'sided feet are
among the legitimate fruits of too early teach,
ing the art of walking; to which we may
add bumped heads, and sIubbed toes, by way
of variety. All this is usually done TO please
grand ma, or to convince some near nelghbor
that our baby is a little smarter and more
forward than the common run OF babies.
The child, however, TO compensate Tor this
pleasure afforded to admiring parents, suffers
all its life the modification of having deform.
ed feet, an ung:aceful carriage, crooked
limbs, and not unfrequently curved spine.
Nature determines the period at Which
children can walk with safety to their Pres>
ent and future. welfare; and Dame Nature
is much less liable to be mistaken 10 matters
to the care of children than mod
ern nurses are.

LONDON, August 25.-The Times, in
an editorial on the prospects and prices
of grain, says: awe may look for year
of suficiency, if not of abundance. The
harvest is within thirteen per cent. of
the average, and with continuance of
the present favorable weather it may
still improve. All the crops except
wheat are luxuriant, and with good corn
imported and sold under sos per quar-
ter. We can easily afford to lose little
home grown wheat for the sake OF q
plentiful stock of food and better pas
ture."
The Times on the boat race says:
Good judges assert that the Harvard
men show signs of entertaining. River
watermen. however, favor the IDEA that

LONDON, August Pa Pari cores
pendent of the Times writes as follows
on the Cuban question: Most of the
Spaniards are sanguine of preserving
Cuba. There is disappointment at the
small success in REFRESHING the rebel
lion. The argument that Cuba is loss
and not a gain to Spain is absurd.
Spain is benefited largely by the pro-
ductiveness and commerce of Cuba.
The correspondent thinks the immedi-

States is not desired by the American
but England or France
arc not likely to offer any opposition to
the scheme.
