Household Economy.

How TO Cook OLD FowLs.-For the
possible benefit of some of our young
housekeepers, | wish to tell them how
to cook an old chicken. Prepare as for
roasting, then boil three hours in a COW
cred pot, with one quart of water, to
which add two tablespoonfuls of vine
gar; after which put in a pan in hot
oven for about one hour, to brown. The
liquor in the pot to be prepared for
gravy; should the water boil away too
much, more should be added. The re-
suit is meat as tender as young chicken,
and some think richer and better.
TO SEASON SAUsAGE.-To fifty pounds
of meat, add one pound of salt and two
ounces each of black and red pepper
one tablespoon full of cloves and one of
saltpetre.
BucKwHEAT CAKEs.-Few dislike this
pancake, if properly made. My expert
ence teaches that not many understand
this inexpensive delicacy, for delicacy it
is. The friend who taught me how
to make them commenced her lesson
with
"Not any yeast.made pancakes for me.
They are good enough, perhaps, but
can't compare with a golden-hued, but
termilk buckwheat pancake. See ! l
take quart of buttermilk without a
drop of water in it, Didn't rinse down
my churn? No, | scraped the butter
down with a spoon, to keep it rich, you
know. Now | put in teaspoonful of
soda and one of salt; then | dip five
handfuls of flour, SO big, and then stir
till mixed, and no longer. If you keep
stirring and adding now a little flour
and then little more milk, you will
find your dough stringy and your cakes
tough. All kinds of pastry that are re-
quired to be tender and delicate, must
be manipulated as little as possible.
Don't think of setting the table dur
ing the operation of frying. Have that
all done first, and merely get a good
start before you ring the bell. You need
not have a disagreeable smell of burnt
fat accompanying the operation, unless
you wish to waste it. A large square of
fat pork is best, think, with the rind
on; skim it lightly over the e riddle
though and when through, trim off the
soiled-looking part, and it will do many
times. | never turn cake over twice,
and don't let it get cooked through
before l turn it. Pop the cakes under
cover quickly; steaming minute is the
cap of perfection, but see that the dill,
does not bear on them heavily"

In fact, nothing can be done till you are

these assertions are matters ofmathematical

Not only over these great Western conti-
nents but throughout that other land so
little known to you, under our feet, the
Australian continent, there are few villages
as large as this which are not familiar with
the name you have chosen, and employing
the remedies that bear it.
Thus, gentlemen, have | striven in my
humble sphere to render some service to
my fellow men, and to deserve among the
afflicted and unfortunate, some regard for
the name which your kind partiality hangs
on these walls around me. We may look
forward with confident hope to the renown
you will gather under it, and the prosperity,
which there is reason to trust the future
has in store for you. Situated as you are
here on one of the main arteries between
the west and the east, between the great
industries of the plough and the spindle
you must aid in their exchanges and thrive
with them. Soon these channels will be
opened wide and pouring through your
precincts streams of men and merchandise
contribute to your growth.

Company, who know their own interest,"
They at times meet with loss on account of
workmen being under the influence of
Intoxicating liquors; and we believe they
have right to recover damages from the
State, in every case where they can prove
such damages resulted, directly or indi-
rectly, from the sale of Intoxicating bever-
ages, while it licenses such traffic.
We take the grodud, that wherever the
traffic in Intoxicating beverages exists, it
has demoralzing and damnable influence
which being the case, it therefore becomes
the duty of every good citizen to use all
honorable means to remove the curse : and
we would here inform North End that the
next time we undertake to remove it, we
will not confine our operations to the town.
nor yet to its outskirts but we will en-
brace the whole 9TH Election District.

Silent Love.

Wouldst thou know the lovers heart,
Search the eyes, for they will show;
Seldom they from truth depart,
Search the eye, and you may know.
Mark that which the eye reveals
In the eyes you should be seeking,
What with lips they have been speaking
Often still the truth conceals.
In the eyes the heart does dwell
Yes, the eyes are not conccaling,
What the eyes you see revealing
That in words they seldom tell.
Oh how pleasant is the task,
In each others eyes to read
Better than in words to ask
Oh, the eye, it speaks indeed.
Watch the eye in every move
What delight when they are meeting;
Such moments we should be greeting
AS sign of silent love.
In the eyes the heart does dwell
Yes, the eyes are not concealing,
What the eyes you see revealing,
That in words they need not tell.

While our bark the danger clears.
