day, when he was talking to him about the

Edwards was so impressed with the
scene he had witnessed, when the woman
had left the room to prepare the delicacy,
that for the first time in his life he began to
think what fool he had been.
"Here's this man, said he to himself,
"can't eat his dinner Of roast goose without
apple-sauce, whilemy poor wife and chill

The Home.
The Rurs OF LIFE.

Get out of them, if you wish to live long,
if you wish to avoid the lunatic asylum, if
you wish to escape suicide or miser's
death Men and women must have recrea-
ton, must have amusement, must have d.
version. 1t is wholesome for the mind to
break away from its daily vocation Or en-
ployment every night. The man who goes
from his counting house or his workshop at
the close of the day, and does not leave it be-
hind him, but sits at the family table in
moodiness, brooding over past occurrences,
weighing probabilities, casting conjectures,
laying plans, and when the meal is over sits
thinking, by the hour, and goes to bed to
toss and tumble and worry, cannot live long;
the brain or the heart must give way, and
he will drop dead in the streets, as many a

In the Island of Cuba, the wagon-roads

of the hill is reached. So in the lives of
many, the mind, under the influence of
worldly care, gets to run in a particular
track in other cases, the occupations are
of such an insuherable sameness from one

Ere thou shalt reach the shining shore,
Where wait the loved of other days.

And with each other seek to vie,
How they can best her wants supply.
Long may thy children gather round,
To view their long lost treasure found,
May Mothers smile-may Grandma's kiss,
Long to their hearts impart its bliss
And when the parting hour is come,
When earth no more must be thy home,
May their dear hands thy pillow smooth,
Their loving tone, thy spirit sooth.
May many birthdays now be thine,
May Joy along thy pathway shine,
When Christ shall come, then, with the blest
Mayst thou forever be at rest.
Yes, lady When thy days are DER,
When stand thy feet on Jordan's shore,
Oh may the light of Heaven then shed,
Its radiance DER thy dying bed.

And am drowsy now al last,
A happy day for thee l crave,

CURING MEAT. AT this season OF the
year the Thoughts of almost every farmer
naturally turn more or less to the process OF
killing meat for the Winters use. Most
farmers have pig or two to salt down, and
some have mutton or beef, and the quality
of meat which is to furnish food for the fam
lily will depend good deal on the way it is
cured
To one gallon Of water take one and a
half pounds of salt, half a pound of sugar,
half an ounce of saltpetre. half an ounce OF
potash In this ratio the pickle to be in
creased to any quantity desired. Let these
be boiled together; al! the dirt from the su
gar rises to the top and is SKINNED Off
Then throw it into tub to cool, and when
cold pour it over your beef or pork, to re-
main the usual time, say four or five weeks,
The meat must be covered with pickle. and
should not be put down for at least two
days after killing, during which time it
should be slightly sprinkled with powdered
saltpetre, which removes all the surface
blood, ETC., leaving the meat fresh and
clean. Some omit boiling the pickle, and
find it to answer WE'LL though the operation
of boiling purifes the pickle by throwing
off the dirt always to be found in salt and
sugar. - SER
