Carving and Helping mt Table.

1t is considered an accomplishment for
lady to know how to carve well, at her
own table. 1t is not proper to Ound in
carving. The carving-knife should be
sharp and thin.
10 carve fowls, (which should always
be laid with the breast uppermost), place
the fork in the breast, and take off the
wings and legs without turning the fowl :
from the breast, take out the collar bone,
cut off the side pieces, and then cut the
carcass in two. Divide the joints in the
leg Of turkey.
In carving a sirloin, cut thin slices from
the side next to you, lit must be put on
the dish with the tenderloin underneath F.;
then turn it, and cut from the tenderloin.
Help the guest to both kinds.
In carving leg of mutton, or ham,
begin by cutting across the middle to the
bone. Cut tongue across, and not
lengthwise, and help from the middle
part.
Carve forequartcr of lamb, by separa-
ting the shoulder from the ribs, and then
dividing the ribs. 10 carve a loin of veal,
begin at the smaller end and separate the
ribs. Help each one to piece of the
kidney and its fat. Carve pork and nuts
ton in the same way.
To carve fillet of veal, begin at the
top, and help to the stuffing with each
slice. In a breast of veal, separate the
breast and brisket, and then cut them up,
asking which part is preferred.
In carving pig, it is customary to d.
vide it, and take off the head, before it
comes to the table; as, to many persons,
the head is very revolving. Cut off the
limbs, and divide the ribs.
In carving venison, make a deep incision
down to the bone, to let out the juices /;
then turn the broad end toward you, cuts
ting deep, in thin slices.
For saddle of venison, cut from the
tail toward the other end, on each side, in
thin slices. Warm plates are very ncces-
sary with venison and mutton, and in
winter are desirable for all meats Cath
crime f. Bcecher.

No young lady can be too well instruct
ed in anything which will affect the COM
fort Of a family. Whatever her position
in society, she needs practical knowledge
of household duties. She may be
placed in such circumstances that it will
not be necessary for her to perform much
domestic labor; but on this account she
needs no less knowledge than if she were
obliged to preside personally over the
cooking'stove and pantry. Indeed, have
often thought that it is more difficult to
direct others, and requires more expert
ence, than to do the same work with our
own hands. Mothers are frequently SO
nice and particular that they do not like
to give up any part of their care to their
children. This is great mistake in their
management. for they are often burdened
with labor, and need relief Children
should be early taught to make themselves
useful-to assist their parents in every
way in their power, and to consider it a
privilege to do 50.

FoETIcIDE IN New YoRK.-Ante-natal
murder, now so sadly common, (says the
New York Tribune, gets mild rebuke
in the decision Of the Coroner in the case
of Mrs. Brush, of Eldridge street. The
immediate agent, or so>called midwife, is
held to bail in $1,000, to answer for
constructive murder. But we doubt if a
trial, much less conviction, will follow.
These professional midwives know too
much. have too many personal resources,
to feel any anxiety about an ordinary
case. In this instance, the victim sought
the relief that resulted in her death, and
is in so far party to her fate. But
whatever the result may be, the puElica-
ton of the facts is another protest against
the crime. The press has printed, the
pulpit has spoken, and legislators have
enacted against this crying sin: yet it
hourishes moro than ever; its victims
fatten the cemeteries its promoters Aaunt
in almost royal equipages in the parks,
and dwell in palatial mansions.

DEAD LETTERs.-Within the last year
we have received several returned letters
from the d. L. Office. We generally write
with ordinary plainness and hence we feel
like charging neglect on Post Office gentle
men. The latest from the "Dead'' was a
letter we addressed to "R. L. b." Fayette,
Iowa, Correspondent N. l. Times, care of
p. NJ" This note was returned us with
the Endorsement "Not to be delivered, be-
ing only Initial address," We admired
the spelling of initial! People write to
Box numbers don't they? Why not to a
well known "enitial' address. We are
no admirer Of red tape in the transaction
of public business.

AaDci NpfIS ItSSs
The National Labor Congress unani
mously adopted report from the Com
mittec on Platforms. The Resolutions
declare:
|, That laborers in all departments oil
useful industry arc suffering from a sys-
TEN of monetary laws enacted during the
late war, as an assumed necessity, which

The Rarity Of Christian Charity.

In Metomen, Fond du Lac county, a
fatal type of diptheria has been prevail
ing. From the following sorrowful, and
at the same time sarcastic card, published
in the Ripon Commonwealth, one might
conclude that christian missionary
ought to be sent out there to instruct
the people in the rudiments of the doc
trines of Christ:
I desire to thank our friends for
their assistance in our time of need.
Out of family of seventeen, there have
been fourteen sick, and in the space of
fourteen days there passed the threshold
of my doors, three loaded collins; and
we we're permitted to attend to our own
dying, and lay them out and carry them
to the streets, and in one case to the
graveyard, dig our own grave, and bury
our own dead, and this is praying
community. But as there is little ex-
ccption to the general character of the
neighborhood, I wish to personally
thank Peter Dunn, 1st, for frequently
calling on us and to Byron Haven for
sitting up with the sick and dead. Also
to John b. Foster and Il. L. Hutchin-
son, for venturing into our yard on the
occasion of two of our funerals, and
helping us to the yard. Also,
Elder M. Barnum attended by request,
on one occasion. / wish they may nev-
or want the assistance Of kind neighbors.
And to others / would say, if you ever
need them, tender my services to help
or get help to lay out or bury the dead,
if nothing affiicts them worse than the
Diptheria.
