Domestic Recipes.

Cu,Tdd Jelly Hater-A tablespoonful of
currant jelly thoroughly mixed through
half pint of cold water. A sick person
may drink as much'as wished of this acid
water. As with all other drinks for the
sick, little at time and often repeated
is the way it should be given.
Toast .Soup.-Take a thin slice of stale
wheat bread, and toast until it is brown
through and through but be careful that
you do not burn it. While it is still hot,
spread some butter over it, but no more
than will strike into the bread without
leaving any on the surface. Now break it
into fragments; put the pieces into pitch
er, and pour on rather more than half a
pint of boiling hot water A little salt and
pepper improves the taste, so they may be
added
VINE IWey.-Put half a pint of sweet
milk over the fire, and as soon as it begins
to boil slowly pour into it wineglass of
sherry wine mixed with teaspoonful of
sugar. Crate into it little nutmeg, and
as soon as it comes to boil again, remove
it from the fire. When cool, strain for use.
Oatmeal Gruel-Mix a tablespoonful of
oatmeal with little cold water until it
makes a smooth paste; pour this gradually
into a pint of boiling water, and boil slow
ly for twenty or thirty minutes, stirring it
all the time, and being very careful not to
let it scorch in the least. Salt spice, and
wine or brandy should be added to it, I'M
less there is some good reason for not do
ing so.
| PoRad0.-Take a slice of wheat bread
break into fragments, and sprinkle over ii
teaspoonful of ground cinnamon; put in
to cup, pour on it pint of boiling water
and boil few minutes until we'll mixed
when some sugar with little grated nut
meg may be added. If desirable, a piece
of butter may be put in, and also some
wine or brandy.

The Bethlehem Babe.

Sweet, sweet, sweet the swell,
The swell of Sabbath bell,
But sweeter still the notes of praise,
The notes of praise our voices raise,
When Jesus love we're telling.
Cold, cold, cold the night!
The night was starry bright
When shepherds heard the angel note,
The angel note from heaven afoat,
That told TO earth the story.
Soft, soft, soft the sleep,
TIE sleep of nesting sheep
They dreamed the curse had left the earth,
Had left the earth at Jesus birth,
Ofwhich so sang the angels.
Low, low. low the bed
The bed on which his head
Among the beasts was pillowed there,
Was pillowed there, mid want and care,
When God became incarnate
Love, love, love unknown;
Unknown, to leave throne,
A fallen race to come and save,
To come and save, and in the grave
To lay his head SO kingly!
Loud, loud, loud well raise,
Wen raise onr notes of praise
The Bethlehem babe, in manger laid,
In manger laid, to death betrayed,
Wen sing, We'll sing for ever.

OeeD or Shallow.

This standard subject was again brought
up for the ninety and ninth time by let
ter from D. L. Farrar, of Buckfeld, Ne,
who made the subjoined suggestion:
divide the land to be ploughed in two
equal parts; plough one part three inches
deep; apply the same amount OF manure
after ploughing and before narrowing. all
the other work being done equal. will
make up the crop the same as that grown
on the deep ploughed part, and | will war
rant better crops of hay after seeded to
grass, and il Horace Greeley will make the
same offer in favor of deep Ploughing, my
word for it, he will be bankrupt at the first
harvest"
DR.. Trimble regarded this as an exceed
ingly sensible suggestion. Mr.. Meeker
said that Mr.. Greeley had raised large
crop Of corn on deep ploughed land, and he
promised to go up to Chappaqua and see.
DR.. Trimble retorted-'I have been there
already, and neighbor of the Tribune
philosopher told me he had 70 abandon
deep ploughing, and only got the crop Of
this season because hewent down six inch
es instead of two feet, as heretofore" Mr..
/ Curtis thought it depends entirely on the
nature of the soil, If muck, it must not
be stirred too much, and the same is true
/ of sandy soil. In time of drought, if you
have a hard-pan under clay loan, you viii
probably get very little harvest, but if you
break up the hard-pan and give the roots
a chance to go down, the dry weather will
have less ill-efect. Mr.. Fuller would add
as appendix that it largely depends on the
crop you purpose growing. fone plants
grape-vines or other vegetation, the roots
of which have habit of going deep, he
should see that the top soil is placed down
within their reach, but with wheat and
certain other things the practice ought tc
be different. Mr. Reade related an expe
rience which convinced him that four, ant
not eight, inches is best for rye.

If one would give me dish of sand and

it of christianity, there is spirit which
rises above forms, above ceremonies, indie
pendent of sect or creed, and the contro-
versies of clashing doctrines.
= i
The truth is that those who really value
christianity, and believe in its importance,
not only to the spiritual welfare of man,
but to the safety and prosperity of human
society, rejoice that in its revelations and
its teachings there is so much which
mounts above controversy, and stands on
universal acknowledgment. While many
things about it are disputed or are dark,
they still plainly see its foundation, and its
main pillars; and they behold in it sa-
cred structure, rising up to the heavens
They wish its general principles, and all
its great truths, to bespread over the whole
earth. But those who do not value christ
ianity, nor believe in its Importance to So
ciety or individuals, cavil about sects and
schisms, and ring monotonous changes up
on the shallow and so often refuted object
tons founded on alleged variety of discord-
ant creeds and clashing doctrines.

Take Notice of Your Fowls.

A somewhat noted English writer says:
"The more notice there is taken of fowls,
we believe, the better they will do. In
natural state they would no doubt lay a
batch or two of eggs in season, hatch
them, and consider the end of egg produc-
ton reached. In domestic state, we wish
them to rear the advisable number Of
broods, and in addition, to continue to lay
as many months as is commensurate with
their well doing; therefore, the further we
can remove our fowls from a wild state,
the better Notice, therefore, the young
broods and the fowls, and let children no
tice them too mot handle them, for chick
ems should never be caught unnecessarily
and your fowls will repay good feeding by
doing good service"
The Icelanders have curious custom,
and most efectual one, Of preventing
horses from straying. Two gentlemen, for
instance, are riding together without at
PENDANTS, and, wishing to alight for the
purpose of visiting some objects at dis
lance from the road, they tie the tail Of
one horse to the head of the other, and the
head of this to the tail of the former. In
this state it is utterly impossible that they
can move either backward or forward, one
pulling one way and the other the re-
verse and, therefore, if disposed to meet
at all, it will be only in circle, and even
then, there must be an agreement to have
their heads in the same direction.

Reelected.

W%hittemore, the South Carolina
ca~rpet-bagger, who resigned to avoid
being expelled from Congress for cor
ruption in the appointment of a cadet
to West Point, has been reelected by
his sooty constituents. 1t seems they
were unable to understand why he
should have been kicked out of Con-
gross for so small an offense, while ac-
complished thieves, like Butler and
others, should be permitted to retain
their seats. We are of opinion, that
he will be quietly allowed to take his
scat, on the Radical side of the House.
The whole affair, was a sort of 'tstink
finger" from the beginning. 1t was
we'll known, if n severe Investigation
had been had, that not one Radical in
a hundred wcul have escaped censure,
for corruption. Whittemore vas made
the scape goat. A sacrifice had to be
offered up; and being a priest, it was
believed he would be the most accept
ible to the God of Radicalism. Alas!
To what a pass, the country
has come, when thieves are seated in

where he remained until the forenoon.
He was then taken down and brought
to town. When 1 saw his body, it
was lying in his own office.
His wife, all cut and bruised from
head to foot, was still alive on Mon
day. 1t is probable that she will not
recover.
A. d. Taylor was a man of educa-
ton, was by profession a physician,
and is SAID TO have been a very sue
cessful practitioner. He was about
forty years of age. A few years since
he quit his profession and went to
preaching, in which capacity he was
very successful, being a fine speaker.
During his ministerial labors he was
connected with the Christian church.
When the war broke out, he receiv-
ed an appointment rs surgeon i'll the
Union army, which position he held
until the war closed. Since that time
he has been practlcing his profession.
On inquiring what could have i'll
duced him to abuse his wife in such
n horrible manner, 1 was told that
there was nothing the matter but his
own vicious nature.

A Fiend in Human Shape.

We learn the particulars of n savage
and brutal affair which occurred ut
Meloc, a small town in Jasper coun
ty, Missouri, from a correspondent of
the Kansas City Journal.
For some months past, A. d. Tay-
lor has been almost daily in the habit
of whipping or otherwise abusing his
wife His abuse has been growing
moro and moro aggravated and Sc
we're, until Friday night last, when, it
seems, he turned a fiend, and began to
abuse her in q most brutal and Outra-
geous manner-frst, by kicking and
cutting; then he struck her to the floor
and stamped her with his heels. =,
After Furnishing her in this way I'M
til he was tired, he took a butcher
knife and cut her hair short. Still
growing more ~anddevilish, he broke a
gridiron to sliyers over her head.
Then, with n knife, began to torture
her by hacking her in the face and on
the breast, until he had literally cut
her breast and face into slices, and to
make the tortuure more severe, stab
bed her in different parts o: the body
with an old pair of scissors.
Several of the citizens, hearing the
cries OF the woman, were attracted to
the place. On finding that they had
discovered what he had been doing,
and fearing they would take measures
to punish him, he fled to the woods
near by, where he hept himself con-
cealed until Sunday morning, when he
called at MI. Robert Wallace's farm
house, aud asked for some breakfast.
Mr. Wallace, having heard what had
occurred on Friday night, and know
ing that there was a writ in the hands
of the constable for his arrest, took it
upon himself to arrest him, took him
to town and delivered him into the
hands of the constable.
The citizens, in the meantime, hear
ing of the outrage, and of the critical
condition of his wife, became more
and more engaged, and by evening be-
gan to show signs Of violence.
About half past nine the constable
decided to move the prisoner for safe
keeping.
After having gone about a mile
with the prisoner, a posse of about
thirty armed men came up, took

Can the Democracy Garry Ohio this
Fall?

The result of the canvass in Con-
necticut and New York is highly fiat
tering to tho Democracy of the Buck
eye State. The success of the Democ-
racy of those States, demonstrates
how much can be done by cementing
our organization. The rottenness and
villainy of the Grant administration
doomed up, and was SO abhorrent to
the popular feeling, that his support
ers became paralyzed, and apathy
reigned throughout the Republican
ranks.
How is it in Ohio? We are con-
WINGED that the Republican party is
sick, even unto death. The leading
Journals of that party are begging the
present imbecile Congress to adjourn,
i~instauter, before more mischief, and
bad Legislation shall take place. 1t is
granted, that imbecility, trepidation
and desperation r the order of the
day in the National Capital.
While dependency is settling like
a dense cloud, upon the Republican
organization /; and when it is admitted
on all hands, that the financial policy
of its leaders is a signal failure, the
Democracy have every incentive for
removed action, and an unfaltering de-
termination to bring the government
back to its ancient landmarks.
AT the October election of 1860,
the Republicans elected Hayes, by the
meagre majority of about three thou
sand votes. A majority of the Con-
gressional Districts were Democratic,
and four or five were Republican by
m~ajorities less than one thousand J.
A gain of four thousand votes will
give us fourteen, out of the nineteen,
members of Congress! Can the De-
mocracy, by a vigorous effort, and q
careful organization, gaiu that num-
Der of votes? PROFESSIONALLY; and
ten thousand more!
At the Congressional election OF
1868, the votes stood thus: The
names of Democrats being in Italics
Dist name Ron Ma; no,n Mi.
