ROMANTIC MEETING.-There was ro-
mantle meeting on a railway train in
Iowa few days since. AT stopping
place, middle-aged woman entered the
cars. A gentleman arose and offered
her a seat beside him. She had just
seated herself, when she exclaimed :
"Oh, my God !" Both of the parties
sprang to their feet, and while facing
each other, the gentleman said: Is it
possible? how strangely we have met !
but let us part friends: | am going to my
wife and family; you, presume, to
meet your husband" The lady replied,
We may part friends, and wiser than
we once we're. My experience has been
bitter, and doubtless yours has been the
same. You will oblige me by stepping
into the next car !" The parties shook
hands and separated. Ten years ago, a
petty quarrel resulted in divorcing the
parties. Both had since married, and
lived to learn that the old love had not
died out.

CROOKED LEGs.-An exchange says
that bowed legs are not caused by ba-
bys being placed upon its feet too early,
but to habit children have of rubbing
the soles of their feet together They
appeer to enjoy the contact only when
the feet are naked; they don't attempt
to make it when they are socked. If
this is true, the remedy is obvious keep
the baby's feet covered. Knock-knees
are ascribed by the same paper to diff
ferent childish habit that of sleeping
on the side, with one knee tucked into
the hollow behind the other. Where
one leg has been bowed inward more
than the other, the patient has always
slept on one side, and the uppermost
member has been that most deformcd
Here the preventative that suggests it
self is to be careful every night to place
the child to sleep in different positions.
Indeed, all through life, it is well to
sleep on both sides.

How TO Cook DRIED BEEF.-The
good qualities of dried beef as an article
Of food for the family. are not fully APP
preciated. In point of excellence, it is
one of the incest articles, when properly
prepared, that we have in our store-room.
It is also one of the most economical ar
ticles Of food /; quite small quantity of
dried beet, shaved very fine, and cooked
with a nice gravy, will serve for meat
for family at very small expense. Then
it is SO convenient to have always ready
always acceptable. To people who live
convenient to market, it is not of SO
much Importance; but to us, who live
at distance from town, dried beef is
one Of the necessary articles in our bill
of fare. We frequently entertain guests
at our table who never have seen dried
beef served other than as relish for
bread and butter shaved and eaten with
out cooking. There are several methods
of cooking it. Some prefer it cooked
with q gravy of water, seasoned with
butter, thickened with flour, and, per-
haps, eggs broken in while cooking.
Others cook it with crumbs Of sausage.
frying the sausage first, then adding the
beef with water and thickening with
-four. 1t is also very good cooked with
q little sweet milk and sweet cream, the
gravy being thickened with -four; allow
it to boil once; that is all the cooking it
requires.
A dish of dried beef, properly cooked,
served with toast, baked potatoes, and
boited aggs, is very nice provision for
breakfast or dinner prepared in haste.
We prefer to cure our own beef, as that
bought is apt to be too salt. find that
if too salt, it can be remedied by soak
ing after cutting and before cooking, and
adding little white sugar while cook
ing, to restore the sweetness lost by soak
ing. Sugar-cured beef is much nicer
than that cured with salt alone. | put

for pork hams.

SOAP MAKING.-I notice directions in
your paper occasionally about soap
making; how to prepare the ashes, I've,
grease and all the other numerous ct Get
eros. Now I wish to give your readers
better receipt, and show them how to
avoid at least two-thirds of the labor re-
quired by the process above mentioned;
and this we all know is the great desid-
eratum in these times of scarce and poor
help.
Firstly, use your ashes to the very best
advantage on your farm, as it is taken
for granted you own one; if not, apply
them judiciously on your garden plat.
Secondly, purchase the prepared I've, or
concentrated potash, which comes sealed
up in sheet-iron cans in pound packages,
and which retails with us for twenty-five
cents per pound.
Prepare your grease by cleansing, and
follow strictly the directions which come
with the cans for the purpose of making
both hard and soft soap. Two cans or
pounds Of the potash, will make-I will
not say how many pounds Of hard soar
but certainly enough to last small
family for months, at an outlay (proyid
ed you have your own grease of fft,
cents, and also saving of much labor
And decided improvement it is, W,
think, over the old fashioned leach an,
the risk Of having good luck. Try !

REMEDY FOR EAR AcHE.-There is
scarcely any ache to which children are
subject SO bad to bear, and so difficult to
cure, as ear ache. But there is remedy
never known to fail. Take bit of cot
ton batting, put upon it pinch of black
pepper, gather it up and tie it, dip it in
sweet oil, and insert it in the ear. Put
flannel bandage over the head to keep
1t warm. 1t will give immediate relief

LAWYERS BLESSlNt.
Lord bless the cline.
Haste on the time,
When deoth makes Lawyers civil.
Stop their clack,
And send them back
Unto their father Devil.
Nor let this Band
Insult our land.
Nor let these liars conquer;
Nor let this Club

Infect the world no longer.
They are as bad indeed
As the thistle weed,
That chokes our fertile moving.
Compared nigh

That destroys our wheat when growing.

Come cramp their breath;
Refine them all with birthstone.
Let them repair
To He'll, and there
To turn the Devils grindstone.

on the fraternity, it is barely possible it

was a session of the County Court at

LABOR SAVING Soar. = Take two
pounds sal soda, two pounds yellow bar
soap, and ten quarts of water cut the
soap into thin slices and boil together
two hours; strain, and it will be fit for
use. Put the clothes in soak the night
before you wash, and to every pail of
water in which you boil them, add a
pound of soap. They will need no rub
bling; merely rinse them out, and they
will be perfectly clean and white.

A SHARP ToNGUED MINIsTER.--Rev.
Clark Kendrick of Poultney, VT, some
times said very good thing in meeting.
Once, while preaching, he noticed that
some boys in the gallery in ga high
pew" we're cracking and eating nuts,
and that one Of his own sons was with
them. Pausing moment, with a griev-
ed face, he said: Daniel, come here,
and eat your nuts on the pulpit stairs. I"
Daniel came hard, but came. So, once
in church meeting, he interrupted one
of those dolorousand uncertain brethren
who are always ready to proclaim their
unworthiness, and go away to verify the
fact: Brother B you confess
enough; but you keep taking it all back.
Do let it stay. - Congregationatist. ma
