CURING MEATS. A Massachusetts writer
says: cure and smoke $4,000 to 1OO.-
900 pieces per year, and know my bust
ness. Meat cured in pickle made of water
is not as good, and only used because
more profitable and less laborious. The
flavor of cured meats depends mainly upon
the kind of molasses used. The best
temperature is 40 degrees; frozen meat
will not cure, and if above so degrees
will be liable to taint> For 100 lbs. meat
take 8lbs. salt, quart of best molasses,
or lbs. sugar, lib saltpetre, 2 ounces
ground alum mix and rub on the feshy
side of the meat, placed in pans so as to
keep all the mixture renew the rubbing
every three days, rubbing in thoroughly.
For large pieces, and cold weather, sixty
days will be required if mild weather,
fifty days, and fifteen days less for small
pieces. The skin and fat of hams should
be cut clean from the face, as far down as
the second joint, to allow the salt to enter.

Brief But Conclusive Fest.

John Adams, father of John Quincy

quick in answer. Well John said he,

In THE Wrong Place.

Several times incidents have been rela-
ted Of gentlemen, under the influence of
liquor Or from Observation-Disclosures getting
into the wrong house. An incident, how
ever, occurred short time ago in the
Crescent City which came near ending in
a tragedy. A gentleman being late down
town and little confused by some adj
verse mercantile speculations, applied
his latch-key to the wrong door. and
found himself in his neighbours house
"Who's there?" was fercely demanded
of him from the head of the stairs
''Who the mischief are you? ?" was the
wondering reply.

the next salutation.
"Well, on my word, that's cool So
liloquized the merchant.
"CooI or not, you'd better leave p.
II think will p thought the mer
chant as he slammed the door and went
after the policeman. Returning with
the officer he hit the right door and
got into his own residence. But
strange to say, no intruder could be found
and no challenge met his advance. High
and low the house was searched,. No one
of the appearance of any one could be dis
covered. His wife was awakened ana
protested she had heard no one.
You didn't hear man screaming at
me from the head of these stairs mo-
ment ago! Have you been long asleep p
Only for moment
and you say again you heard no one?
No one, my dear
Didn't you hear a man shouting as if
he'd waken the dead aad threatening to
shoot me p
oh! mercy, no!' exclaimed the good
lady, now really alarmed.
why, mum, [ heard him in the street,
iuteeposed the officer.
'Oh, William, he wasn't in here cried
the lady
The citizen was nonplussed. What
could it mean?
Betsy he said, I've lived with you
for forty years you've been faithful in
poverty and riches, and [ can't think you
have commenced deceiving me at this late
day; but deceit or truth, you may shoot
me if there wasn't man in this house
There was energy in every word of the
sturdy citizen, and he believed it as he
did bis religion. His neightor being on
the qui rice, from the late disturbance,
was listening to the loud voices, and just
at this instance came out on the adjoining
gallery. He heard the last words and be-
ing greatly excited himself, replied with
equal energy:

find one IN my house !"

Explanations now ensued, and the DIFF
ficulty was finally adjusted. The strange
mistake was accounted for, and the recon
oiled neighbors shook hands and went to

MEXICAN WHEAT.-When Cortez re-
ached Mexico, one of his soldiers found
in his heversack four grains of wheat.
He planted these upon the land allotted
him by the conqueror, and having care
fully saved their produce, he planted
more land the next year. 1t is his
torical fact that from these four grains has
been derived all the wheat since raised in
Mexico
1t is in the moral world as in the phys
ical the greatest results sometimes flow
from the smallest beginnings. No one
knows what an incalculable amount of
good or of evil may be the consequence Of
his most trivial actions.

INTEREST AND UsURY.-As the new State
Constitution is soon to go into effect, and
as very many persons may be interested
in the price fixed for money in that in.
strument, we give the usury clause of tbs
articles on finance and taxation, as follows
Upon debts hereafter contracted i,
shall be lawful to receive any rate ofinter

Be KIND IN LITTLE THlNGs.-The sun
shine of life is made up of very little
beams that are bright all the time. In
the nursery, on the play ground, and in
the schoolroom, there is room all the time
for little acts Of kin lness that cost moth
ing, but are worth more than gold or
silver. To give up something, were CIV
ing up will prevent unhappiness -to yield
when persistence will chafe and fret others
Ito go little around rather than come
against another to tako an i'll word or
cross look, rather than resent or return IL;
these are the ways in which clouds and
storms are kept off, and pleasant, smll-
ing sunshine secured even in the humble
home among very poor people, as 10
families in higher stations. Much that
we term the miseries of life would be
avoided by adopting this rule of conduct.

CARE OF HORSES When a horse re-
fuses to eat, says the Ohio Farmer, he
should not be made to do any more ser
vice that day, for it may be known that
he is tired out or sick. 1t is barbarous to
compel horse to perform labor, when
in such condition that he refuses grain,

NATURE AND MY HEART.
BY A. JUDsoN CRANE.

BY A. JUDsoN CRANE
The tenderest flower, bedrenched with rain
Still lifts its head and smiles again,
When morning light dispels the cloud.
Which lately Numbered last and loud:
And thou, my heart, be as the flower.
The little streams with crystal flow.
by some rude storm, doth murky grow,
And angry PUSHES dark and fast.
Yet soon will clear and calm at last.
And thou. my heart, learn from the streams
The mighty oak, at winters blast.
Strips off its leaves and limbs and mast,
And stands type of mute despair,
But bloms again with vernal air:
And thou, my heart, be as the oak.
oid oceans tide in tempest driven,
Lashes the shore, and cries to Heaven
In fearful woe, in fury wild,
But soon is still as nesting child
And thou, my heart, learn from the sea.
The flower, the stream, the oak, the sea.
All nave their times of gloom and glee,
10 them there comes at last relief,
And souls meier fud surcease of grief;
Then thou, my heart, learn to submit.
All nature has some fitting balm
10 heal, renew, refresh or calm:
But there are hearts whose ceaseless woe
Solace or calm can never know:
Then thou, my heart, learn TO endure.
Cast up thy gaze from earthly things,
Deem sorrow good; to thee 1t brings
Promise of life when Nature dies
For Natures voice forever cries,
Oh . bruised heart, trust God alone.

Section LIST of IN article of the new
Constitution of Tennessee provides that
ministers of the Gospel are by their pro-
fession, dedicated to God and the care of
souls aud ought not to be diverted from
che great duties of their functions; there
fore. no Minister, of the Gospel, or Priest
of any denomination whatever, shall be ell
igible to q seat in either house of the
Legislature"
Mr.. Snodgrass. of Carter county, the
independent candidate for the State SEN
ate, rs a licensed minister of the Nj. h.
Church, and as such is disqualified under
the above section of the Constitution. Such
being the case, every Republican vote
cast for him VIII be thrown away. The
only hope of securing a republican Sena-
tor from this district is to vote for Col. 5.
X. n Patton, the regular nominee of the
party. IF you give him the full support
of the party he will be elected. Let us
rally to his support on Tuesday next. We
have every thing to lose and nothing to
gain by pursuing any other course. Vote
for Butler, Patton and West and don't
lie persuaded into voting for any one else.
by SO doing you will promote the interess
of the Republican party. and every true
Republican will sacrifice every thing else
TO accomplish this end.

PUBLISHED BY REQUEST I

Young man, did you ever stop to think
how terrible that word sounds? Did you
ever think what misery and woe you
brought upon your friends when you de-
graded your manhood by getting drunk !!
it is a fearful thing to trample under foot
the high claims that God and man have
upon you. Drunk How it rings in the
ears of a loving wife! How it makes the
heart of a fond mother bleed How it
brushes out the hopes of q father. and
brings reproach and shame upon loving
sisters. Drunk He is spending the
means of support for liquor, while his
family may be wanting bread-his chill
dren suffering for clothing. Drunk! His
reputation is going. gone! His friends,
one by one, are reluctantly leaving him
to his fate. He goes to his grave, Union
ored and unsung. drtnk!i-Woods Maya

WHO IS THE DEMOCRATIC
A NOMINEE!

Two weeks stree, we stated that the
Democratic Convention which met here to
nominate a candidate for the Legislature,
failed to make Il nomination. That state
ment was based upon Representations made
to us by the Secretary and other members
of the Convention, who, certainly had
every opportunity Of ascertaining the facts
in the case. Since then, however, other
parties, among whom we may mention tie
Chairman of the Convention, and who had
equal opportunities of informing them
selves, have stated to us that DR.. Carr
was regularly nominated. Under these
circumstances, we have no opinion to ex-
press in the premises. We believe the
parties who have made these contradic-
tory statements to be each incapable of
misrepresentation in the smallest degree.
But hat some one is mistaken, there can
be no room for doubt. With this state
meut of facts, We leave the question to be
settled among the parties more immedi-
ately Interested. We would make this
suggestion, however, that in the future, to
avoid all misunderstanding. instead of sit
ting with closed doors, they invite a re-
porter from the HERALD AND TRIBUNE.
to a seat in the house, and we will then
be answerable for any mistakes that may
occur.
