Letter from a Housekeeper

CHICKEN PIE.-My English friend,
who is, by the by, an excellent cook,
criticised the chicken pie at the
picnic. / thought it very nice in
deed-the meat tender and well
seasoned. But she thought there
was not gravy enough.
ain our country, this meat would
be entirely surrounded with little
of the chicken jelly"
And you don't put cup in the
centery'
'Never in meat pie. You see,
the gravy runs up into the cup, and
when cold forms a jelly there, where
as you want the jelly around the
chicken or veal, or whatever it is"
"Tell us your way, if please.
How do you make a pier -- n
az the chickens are young, 1
joint them and season with white
pepper and salt, sprinkling little
over each piece. do not stew them,
but arrange the parts in a deep
earthern pie-dish. After the meat
is all in, I place few bits of butter
on top, and pour in enough cold wa
ter to nearly cover the meat. A lit
tie pounded mace is an excellent ad-
dition. l now put on the pastry
cover, pare the edge, and ornament
as ! think best. 1t must be in a
moderate oven for an hour and a
half to two hours. When the pas
try is done, the oven-door may be
left open, or brown paper laid on
the top of the pie. i never put in
the breast-bone or the back and
neck. If these are boiled down
with bit of bacon or ham bone,
the gravy will be nice to put in the
pie after taking it from the oven, to
supply the waste made by cooking"
| think there is hardly anything
nicer than an old-fashioned
PUMPKIN Pie, and. my English
friend, for wonder, thinks they are
good, and has asked me to tell her
how make them. / cut the pump
kin into thin slices, and boil it very
tender in as little water as possible.
When nearly done, be careful it does
not burn, as it is apt to do so. When
done, drain off the water, and let the
pumpkin steam or dry on the back
of the stove for ten or fifteen min
utes. Now mash and rub through a
sieve. The more milk you put to
it the more eggs you will require,
and the less milk the less number Of
eggs. A quart Of rich milk to a.
quart of pumpkin, and three or four
eggs, is a good rule. Ginger and
nutmeg are my favorite spices
though many like cinnamon and
cloves. Sugar or molasses may be
used for sweetening. / use sugar
in proportion of two heaping table,
spoonfuls to pie. You must have
very hot oven for these pies, as it
is difficult to brown them without.
1t is good plan to heat the batter
scalding hot before putting lin the
pie.

EaYnestneSs.

The present age is characterized
by intensity. Civilization, instead
OF claiming our spirits, stimulates
them in to great activity. Business,
pleasure, the learned professions,
literature, and all the arts of life,
bear witness to our hurried earnest
nesss. We bend the bow to the
breaking point. Our hearts pant
because of the rapidity of the race.
This intensity of life has its first
and deepest cause in our spiritual
wants, in the thirst and hunger of
the soul. When evening is come,
and the child is tired, he desires
this thing, then another, after that
some other toy; and having received
them all, he weeps for something
else. But it is rest and sleep that
he wants rather than toys for which
he sheds 80 many tears. So of men;
there is an inquietude in their
minds, the cause of which they do
not understand. They suppose that
if they could possess riches, or COM
mand the pleasures of the world, or
obtained the knowledge, the office,
the social position, or the fame for
which they long, all would be well
with them. But they are in error;
for their restlessness has its origin
in their spiritual instincts. 1t is
the peace which passeth understand
ing the rest which is found in God
alone, that they need, although they
know it not.
Let this encourage the preacher
to declare his message of love. Let
his preaching be according to the
truth, and in the spirit of these
words, and he shall not speak in
vain; Come unto Me, all ye that
labor and are laden, and 1
will give you rest 1t is true, alas.
that all will not believe it. Like
Pilate,so will ask, what is truth
and then pass on to hear some new
thing aud Festus will deliver his
judgment by telling the preacher,
Thou art beside thyself.' But sin
cere, humble, burdened souls, s,moved
by the Spirit of God, will receive
Christ, and go on their way rejoic-
ing.

Winter Grazing.

This term will strike the Eastern
reader unpleasantly, for it is asso.
ciated in his mind with bare fields,
stack-yards, frozen earth, and shiv,
ering cattle. In the trans-Missouri
country, we have a vast region
where winter grazing is fixed fact,
without any of the disagreeable ac-
compartments of the rainy and
snowy climates east of the Missis-
sippi. The eastern limit Of this
climate is about the 9Sth degree OF
longitude west from Greenwich,
which crosses the Union Pacific R,
R. near Grand Island. Nearly all
the country west of this line, ex.
tending from Texas far into the
British Possessions, is one vast nat
ural pasture the year round. The
climate is not well understood by
many of our Eastern people 1t
is entirely unlike that of the At
lantic and the Mississippi Valley
States, Judged by our standards
at the East, four fifths of this region
would be uninhabitable on account
of its elevation above the sea level.
On this coast, seven thousand feet
would be about the snow line. In
the Rocky Mountains it is nearly
twice that hight. They have good
summer weather in it's season at ten
thousand feet above the sea level,
and it is only the cool nights that
make the raising of Indian corn i'm
practicable. The terminal line of
vegetation on the White Mountains
is about 5000 feet, on the Alleghan-
les $500 feet. The grasses grow
luxuriantly on the Rocky Noun
tains up to ten thousand feet, and
we have seen heavy growth of TIM
Der on Pixies Peak, and on other
submits, as far up as $4,000 feet,
and a smaller growth of evergreens
$4,000 feet high. In the North,
South, and Middle Parks, eight to
ten thousand feet above the sea level,
the winters are less severe than in
the Atlantic States. The rain fall
over the greater part of this region
is about twenty inches annually, and
the larger part falls in the month of
May. This gives the grasses Wig
orous start, and in June they are
fully matured. By the 1st of Sept.
these grasses have become a per.
fectly cured hay, as nutritious as
any the Eastern farmer puts into
his stacks or barns. The proof of
its excellence is the fact that thou
sands of sheep and cattle feed upon
it all winter, and come out in the
spring ripe for the butcher. There
is none of that pining which is in
separable from all out door feeding
in winter in the Eastern States.
There are not only the "bunch" and
"gramma" grasses, but the species
are numerous, and every valley has
its complement of them. This fact
of abundant fodder for all grami-
nivorous animals is as well estab-
lished as any fact in our agricul-
ture. tits this which makes this
vast region so attractive to the
stock grower.-American Agricul-I
turaliSt.

Letter of Recommendation.

A gentleman advertised for a boy
to assist him in his office, and near
ly fifty applicants presented them.
selves to him. Out of the whole
number he in short time selected
one, and dismissed the rest.
Il should like to know said a
friend, 'on what ground you selected
that boy, who had not a single rec
ommendation.
You are mistaken said the gen
tleman, 'he had a great many. He
wiped his feet, when he came in, and
closed the door after him, showing
that he was careful. He gave up
his seat instantly to that lame, old
man, showing he was kind and
thoughtful. He took off his cap,
when he came in, and answered nv
questions promptly and respectfully,
showing he was polite and gentle
mani y. He picked up the book
which | had purposely laid upon
the floor, and replaced it
upon Cue IaDle, Wnlle all the rest
stepped over it or showed it aside;
and he waited quietly for his turn,
instead of pushing and crowding,
showing that he was honest and Or
derly. When talked with him, l
noticed that his clothes were care
fuliy brushed, his hair in nice order,
ana his teeth as white as milk; and
when he wrote his name, 1 noticed
that his finger-nails were clean, in
stead OF being tipped with jet, like
that handsome little fellows In the

letters of recommendation? l do,

can tell about a boy by using my
eyes ten minutes, than all the fine
letters he can bring me.'-Litze

Talking Machine

The Philadelphia Ledger tells O
talking machine invented and con
structed by Prof, Faber, of Berlin
and exhibited by the inventor in
Philadelphia over thirty yearssago
DR.. Cohen, of Philadelphia a nephew
OF the inventor, has improved the
machine, and exhibited its powers
of vocalization at a lecture at the
Jefferson Medical College, the othel
week. The Doctor began by de.
scribing the physiology of the
larynx, and the production of the
registers Of the voice, as seen in the
laryngoscope. The construction OF
the machine was shown to be close
copy OF the human organs, moved
by levers similar to those of the
piano, the bellows or lungs of the
machine being worked by a pedal
Prof. Faber uses but fourteen sounds
to produce all the combinations OF
speech. At the close Of the lecture
an exhibition of the working of the
machine was given. 1t was made to
speak sentences in both the English
and German languages.

How to keep the Boys from
Smoking,

1t is astonishing how unanimous
ly everybody condemns smoking, in
boys. Father, mother, uncle John,
sister Mary, and all are alike shock
ed if Charley is seen with a cigarette,
or Tom discovered putting away at
dried corn silk behind the barn. 1t
is instantly suspected that he has
been guilty of pipes and tobacco in
the past, and predicted that he will
fall victim to unnumbered vices
in the future.
Now, l don't like to see bright
eyed boy learning to smoke. l am
sorry when / detect, as l sometimes
do, when kiss certain favoritcs of
mine, the odor of smoke on their
breath. 1t gives me pain! Yet l
can see whence comes the want of
the boy-and why he finds such an
irresistible temptation and charm
in something to smoke He thinks
it Is manly. The very father whose
commands are laid upon him not to
do it, regales himself after dinner
with a3igar, or sits and reads the
evening long, in, to the boy, de
ightful and romantic wreath of
smoke. His brother, who has come
home from college, crowned with all
the splendor of the conquering hero,
tells of class ceremonies in which
the pipe playes no mean part. Very
likely his day school teacher has
been seen walking home with a ci
gar in his mouth, and his Sunday
school teacher, who stands of course,
on PEDESTAL, wears clothes that
are odorous tell tales. What are
we, that we expect from the sons,
virtues for which the fathers are not
strong enough? Why expect the
boys to eschew, what to their appre-
hension, is bdage and sign and
seal of manliness?
Gentlemen, if you don't want the
boys to smoke, don't smoke your
selves. That will be the very best
way to keep them from it. A boy
forms himself upon his fathers
model. The tricks of attitude, the
tones of speech, the mannerisms OF
the one, grow into and with the 9th
er. The better the man, the better
will be the boy! A father who is
habitually courteous, will have cour-
teous children. One who is pure in
speech, will scarcely need to watch
for profanity in his sons. Whatever
graces are desirable in boy-nature,
are especially to be sought for in
manhood and maturity.

Wherever Poke Root grows, 1t has local
reputation as a Blood Purifier, and for the
cure of Rheumatism. With all this local
reputation, and the praise of distinguished
Physicians (Drs. Coe, Lee, King, Wilson NJ
Hunt, Grifits, Copeland and others,) who
have tested its medical powers; it has been
neglected by the profession at large, as much
through want of a proper appreciation Of
its merits, as knowledge of the proper way
to prepare it for medicinal use. DR.. Oliver
Crook, "a physician who devotes his entire
time to the duties of his profession has fully
tested the active medicinal qualities of Poke
Root during the last 25 years, and unhesi-
tatingly pronounces it to have MORE MERIT
for diseases depending ON depraved con-
dition of the blood, than any and all other
articles named in the Materia Medica. I'm

A PoTAToE WITH TEETH-We have
been presented by Thos. ?. Shalcross,
ESQ, with one of the curiosities of the
age. 1t is a potatoe with full set of
teeth-we mean what we say, genuine
teeth, and equal to those made by ma
ture, DR.. Lunsford, DR.. Caldwell, or
any other dentist. 1t is thought that
the tooth formerly ground the corn and
chewed the hash Of an original and
aboriginal redman, but we doubt it. II
it was an Indians tooth, why did it 60
for the potatoe? Indians didn't banker
after potatoes-at least none we ever
saw or read Of did it. Weare inclined to
think from the manner in which it
sticks to the potatoe that it is the tooth
OF some deceased son OF Erin, who
shows his passion strong in death. If
it is a sample Of new variety of pota-
toe, they would be appropriately named
"the Tusky-raw-was." Potatoes with
eyes first, and now potatoes with teeth
