How to Make MOIasses Candy.

Now that these long winter nights
shadow more than half the time,
''candy pulling" is in vogue. As the
candy is usually made, it is a long, te-
diOus process, requiring from one to
three hours. These long hours of
waiting are rendered longer by hav-
ing to endure the heat while stirring
the molasses. The waste Of fuel is an
other objection To the old method
By following this recipe, all of this te-
dfousness and veXatiOn will be avoid
ed:
For a small number, say four per-
sons, these quantities will answer
For larger, increase prOpOrtiOnately.
One teacupful of mOlasses.
Halfa teacupful Of any kind Of su-
gar.
a teaspOOnful of vinegar.
Apiece of butter the size of half a
nutmeg.
Put the whole in skillet, on a hot
fire, and boil exactly ten minutes,
stirring it all the time, then set it OFF
to cool. Pull it rs soon as it IS hard
enough.
Boilingit twelve minutes will make
it hard enough. Ten minutes by the
clock is the exact time.
Follow these directions, and We'll
pay for all the candy that won't pull
provided We are invited to test it.

Accumulated CanItaI.

Peter Isaac ThillsOn was native of
Geneva. He settled as a merchant IN
London, where he acquired by hls
industry an enormous fortune. He
died at his seat at PlaisnOw, Kent,
July q, I797@ leaving three sons and
three daughters. To his wife and
children lie left about one hundred
thousand pounds. His large estates
i'm Forshire, and the residue of his for
tune amounting to upwards Of five
hundred thousand pounds, he left to
trustees TO accumulate and be laid out
in the purchase Of estates in England
till the male children of his sons and
grandsons are dead. This distant pc
riOd may extend to 10 years, in which
case the property will then amount to
one hundred and forty millions; and
should there be no lineal descendant,
this astonishing property will 90 to the
Use of the country, to the benefit Of
the sinking fund, under the direction
Of Parliament. This extraordinary
will was disputed by his surviving
family; but it was affirmed by a sol
emn decree of ohancery, though after
wards an act was passed by means Of
Chancellor ROsslyn, 10 prevent the re-
currence of so extravagant a desire of
private accumulation.

GeBraI Graus's Prom5litudc

At meeting of cOlOred persons in
Baltimore, on Wednesday night last,
Hon. J. J. Stewart related the follow
lng IL .jent:
| mad occasion to apply To the Pres
ident on benaif Of poor widow Iady
in this city, whose son was incarcera-
ted in a Missouri prison. He had
been a soldier in the regulars before
the rebellion, was court martialed for
an act of INSTRUMENTATION by Colonel
r. +. Lee, in Texas, and sentenced to
ten years imprisonment He had
served out a short period of his i'm
prisOnment when the rebellion broke
out, but escaped, Joined the Union
volunteers, and served all through the
war against the rebels. After the re-
belliOn he Joined the regular army
again, was recognized, and sent back
to prison to serve out the balance of
his term.
The petition for his pardon was pre-
sented and referred, according to
usage, to the War Department, where
the official having charge of the mat
ter, after the customary delay, gave
the usual decision against it.
/ then took copy of the record and
went to the President, called his at
tentiOn to the fact that the prisoner
had been court-martialed by Robert
E. Lee before the rebellion, and had
fought against him on the Union side
till it was suppressed, and expressed
my conviction that he had earned his
title to freedom.
It would have done your heart good
to see the alacrity with which the
President arose from his seat, grasp
ed his papers, and gave his orders to
General Porter to release this man
from custody, and remit the penalty
for services rendered the United
States since conviction" He made
no palaver about it, expressed no Opin-
ion, entered into no argument, but
just did the thing right of, as if he
could not be too quick about it; and a
letter of this day, received from the
delighted soldier, bedewed by the
grateful tears of his widowed mother,
proves to me that the President did a
righteous act, which will cause the
prayers of grateful hearts to ascend
for his welfare.

The Man Who cot Converted.

There Is humility which Is sincere
and which should be respected: but
there i a counterfeit article, also.
Which deserves To be deSpised and
ridicUled. OF this sort the following
anecdOte Is related; and as We have
seen just such persons as the con
veTted' man alluded To, We are in
ciined to think the story Is true:
There was a great revival in the re-
gion where Old Smithers, as every
body called him, lived, and it took
hold of him one day. Smithers was
dreadful mean man, oppressive to
the poor, and all that, aud never pay
ing debt if he could help it. He had
been known to turn a poor widow,
with a family of small children, out
into the street of cold winters day,
because she was unable TO pay the rent
for the miserable shanty she had of
him. He was only known rs ''Old
Smithers," though he wasn't so very
old, either; but we have noticed that
mean men have the prefix "Old" at
tached to their names generally, when
their neighbOrs speak of them.
Old Smithers ''tOOk a habit, +" as they
say in Wisconsin, to attend one of
the ''prOtraeted meetings." He was
struck with conviction the first night,
and hopefully converted" as he
claimed, the next. After his CONVEX
sion, he was announced to address his
fellOw-sinners and '1sinneresses" on
the following Sunday afternoon. The
news that Old Smithers had got relig-
ion, spread all about the neighbor-
hood. Some doubted it; said he was
putting it on so as to skin folks a lit
tie closer; others, more charitable,
said it might be true, and they hoped
he would not be so mean in the future,
if il was so.
When Sunday afternoon arrived,
the church was crowded. The entire
neighbOrhOOd turned out to hear what
so mean man as Old Smithers would
say for himself, after passing through
conviction and conversion. All was
still in the church when Old Smithers
arose to speak. He began by telling
what mean man he had been all his
life. He said he had probably done
more mean things than any man of
his years and opportunities now liv-
ing, and if there was any mean thing
he had failed to do, it was either be-
cause he hadn't thought of it, or there
was no good chance. After going
somewhat into detail regarding his
meanness, astonishing even those who
thought they knew him best, with
the recital, and declaring his utter un-
wOrthiness, he resumed his seat.
There was a brief pause, after which
neighbOr of Old Smithers, a MEM
Der of the church, arose and said:
''I have lived a neighbor to Brother
Smithers for a long time. have just
listened to Brother Smithers' remarks,
and from an intimate acquaintance
with him and his actions for many
years, | am prepared to endorse in the
fullest manner, all the charges he has
made against himself, and more, too.
He is certainly the meanest man |
ever knew in the whole course of my
life" and sat down.
Then arose Old Smithers, pale and
trembling with rage, and exclaimed:
"It's n damned lie, and I'lI whip YOU
as soon as you leave the church."

The leTII,S RnYnnne.

The New York Star very properly
designates the money squandered by
moderate and regular drinkers for in
tOXicating beverages as the ''devil's
revenue." And an immense revenue
derived from this source the evil has.
Enough to pay the ordinary expenses
of all the governments on the face0Of
the earth, with several millions to
spare. Think of it, you who are dali
ly wasting your substance in riOtOus
living-yOu who are Fastening your
steps to the grave, destroying your
prospects here and hereafter and
weighing down your families with
wretchedness and shame

that is it. The price of happiness,

value of the American retail liquor
sales in single year. More than all
the product of gold and silver from

and ten times the value of the whole

aging statistics, truly. FOrty-three
dollars for every man, woman and
child in the country! Most of the

1t is a common mistake of
labOrers that liquor is necessary to
sustain their strength under exhaust
ing conditions. Careful examinations
prove this a fatal fallacy.- The effect,
eXhilarating on small cap
ital at first, wears off quickly, and the
doses, to be felt, necessari-
ly grow larger. But the superficial
strength obtained in this way disap-
pears all the more rapidly at last for
its constant renewals. The drinker-

self-dies when he should be at the
most powerful period of his existence.
Dies from fever, or consumption, or

is called, dies from something which

Every word of it true. Here is food
for refiectiOn-a short but excellent
lecture, which we trust
may impress itself deeply in the
minds of the thousands of otherwise

Interesting to Odd Fellows.

1t has been generally supposed that
the origin of the society of Odd Fel-
lows, or rather the organization of
that Association, was of comparative
ly modern date. People will be some
what surprised, however, to learn that
its origin dates as far back as Nero,
was established by the Roman SOL
diers in the year So. AT this time
they We're called "FellOw Citizens. -
The present name was given them by
Titus Caesar, twenty-fOur years after
wards; and they were so called from
the singular character of their meet
ings, and from their knowing each
other by means of mystical signs and
language. At the same time ne pre-
sented them with a dispensatiOn, en-
graved OH a plate of gold, bearing diff
ferent emblems of morality.
In the fifth century the Order was
established in the Spanish dOmin-
ions, and in Portugal in the sixth CEN
tury. 1t did not reach France and
England until the eleventh century.
1t was established in the latter eOun-
try by John DeNille, who, assisted by
five knights from France, formed a
Grand Lodge in London. This an
cient fraternity has now its lodges in
every quarter of the globe, and by its
and benevolent character,
commands the respect and eOunte-
nance Of all who are acquainted with
its nature and purpose.

LOST IND FOUND IN
THE SNOW.

High up, below the summit of the
BrOcken, chief of the Harz noun
tains, is a fiat mOorland, the BrOcken-
field, wild, dreary, far from men. The
nearest town belongs To the miners of
Andreasberg, three hours distant, and
the weather is not often friendly TO
much intercourse. The air of the
BrOchenfeld is nearly always cold, the
trees are stunted and overgrown with
a long grey lichen, which apparently
protects them from the wintry blasts,
and looks like the beard OF an old
man. No flOwcry fields are here; no
corn, not even potatoes, will thrive in
this dreary home of cold weather,
starved anddefOrmed trees, long damp
moss, reeds and sedges.
Only a rare wanderer passes this
way, or an emigrant trading in cana
ry-birds, which are largely bred
among the miners, and brought down
to Hamburg, thence to be dispatched
over Europe in the tiny wicker cages
we often see them sold in. Or per-

When it was offered to Paul he ac-
cepted it eagerly. 1t was the very
spot for him. He was a tall, sturdy,
fine-looking man, his handsome face
bronZed with long exposure to the
wind and weather; only when he lift
ed his sugar-lOaf shaped green hunt
mans hat was there a bit of fair skin
visible along the top of his forehead.
His quiet blue eyes lay deep i'm his
forehead, shaded by somewhat over
hanging brOws, which gave a strong
appearance TO his face. He had al
ways been grave; as boy he had not
mixed in the sports of his cOmpan-
ions, but kept alOOf and apart from
them TO study his forester craft. He
loved his profession for its own sake,
but there had been a tim5 when he
loved it also for the sake of another,

A Lesson in Gardening.

In certain village there is a young
lawyer who took lessons and degrees
on the old home farm till he became
satisfied there was an easier way to
get the daily bread Ofhis life, and then
went to college. "Old WaterVille''
gave no lessons in field culture. and
our Young squire has always exhibit
ed his approval Of her lenity by the
general aspect Of his garden-the tares
i'm which, as in days of old got the
better of the wheat. One morning
this summer, little earlier than he
usually put on his slippers, there was
a ring at the door, and Biddy ran to
answer it, and the squire at the same
moment jumped into pants and dress
ing gown, in expectation of an early
client. Bridget returns with grin.
'sWhat is it, Biddy?i'
"Ah, he didn't tell me a bit ~ and
Biddy grinned wider still.
'But what did he want?''
az don't b'lave he wanted nothing
at all, sir'' and Biddy snickered in full
Irish.
'Didn't he say anything ?n in a jerk
that led thepiOus Biddy TO fear wick

riments at ChatswOrth, IllinOis-which
have not proved as successful as it
was hoped they wOuld-gives encOur-
agement to the people of that section
by citing the history of the sugar-beet

this experiment in France, affords
the happiest illustration of the i'm

selfishness could not believe in that

The Emperor, aware of the evils de-

beet-sugar even to prohibition. While
England has laughed at the absurdity
of the attempt, beet-sugar has almost

of Europe. France, to-day, has 40
beet-sugar factories, and Prussia 255,

policy in the single article of sugar
