How TO Cook 0 YsTERs.-We suppose
that nine out of ten housekeepers will
contradict us in the statement that they
do not know how to cook dish of oys-
tiers. By the ordinary routine either the
oysters are stewed and shriveled out of
any semblance of themselves in shape,
size and flavor, or else the soup and
thickening" has raw taste. Here is
a right method; try it once and well
warrant you won't need telling a second
time. Pick the oysters out of the juice
as dry as possible; stew the juice, thick
ening the milk or water which the soup
is to be made until thoroughly cooled
then drop the oysters in, and just as the
cooled soup begins to show signs of sim.
mering, empty out altogether, and you
will have rich soup and rich PLUMP
oysters, luscious enough to make you
think you never tasted the real article
before Western Rural.

at had made. " said poor seamstress,
in telling me of her condition, " my last
payment on Saturday on my supply of
coal for the winter; and the last dollar
I had in the house had gone on that day,
to buy my little store of coffee, and su-
gar, and -four, for the winters use. The
fire took it all the next night" She has
no husband to help her, and young sis
ter and three little children are depend
ent upon her for support; but like thou
sands of others, she had made a good
living, and could lay by for the future,
not abundantly, but sufficient for frugal
wants. Still l find her brave and happy
in her new life since the fire. Her voice
has a tremor in it when she tells how she
sent her three children to neighbours
for safety when the fire broke out, that
she might be free to try and save some
thing of her household goods, how,
when her own house was gone, she went
to seek them, and found only heap of
embers where she thought they We're
sleeping safely; how, as she afterward
learned, her little boy of nine years, TAX
ing brother of seven years in one hand
and a sister of five in the other, wander
ed from ten o'clock on Sunday night till
ten o'clock on Monday morning, running
fiery gauntlet through blazing streets
and frantic crowds of men and horses,
never letting go the little hands he held
in his, never swerving through all those
devious, dangerous ways, the whole cir
cult of the city, from his fixed purpose
of reaching an uncle's house, miles away,
and giving his precious charges into his
mothers arms again-there is a tremor
in her voice when telling of all this, till
she remembers with pride how brave her
boy was in that fearful twelve hours
walk, while she sought for the baby wan

KEEPING TIN WARE BRIGHT.--It is a
very good plan, every washing day, be-
fore the hot suds are thrown away, to
gather up the tin ware that is in daily
use and wash we'll with wooden cloth in
the tub or boiler. The brightness thus
given to it is nicer than securing; be-
sides, the ware is not worn out, and the
seams about the handle and spouts can
be made very clean. With careful
usage tin and britannia ware need not
wear out or fall into disuse hardly in
ones lifetime. All such ware should be
made dry about the kitchen stove before
it is put away. Iron, or sheet iron ware
should be kept in good presentable con
dition by stove backing. There is no
need Of gray or dingy pots and tea-ket-
ties when they are SO easily kept neat
and in good order. The tin wash-boiler
should always be washed and wiped and
dried before putting away.

Go BETwEENs.- is, perhaps,
not more odious character in the world
than a go-between-by which I mean the
creature who carries to the ear of one
neighbor every injurious observation that
happens to drop from the mouth of an
other. Such person is the slanderer's
herald, and is altogether more odious
than the slanderer himself. By this vile
oficiousness, he makes that poison effec-
tive which else would be inert; for three
fourth of the slanderers in the world
would never injure their object. except
by the malice of go-betweens, who, un.
der the mask of double friendship, act
the part of double traitor.

AN ABsoRBANT.-As an absorbant,
dry coal ashes are equal to dry earth and
much more convenient. Every family
that has patch of land big enough to
swing cat in should make it rich by
having hogshead where bushel or two
of coal ashes are thrown as basis. In.
to it pour all the foul water of the fami
", and throw in the dry ashes of each
day. Twice year upset this receptacle,
and spread the contents over the garden
and spade it in before the ammonia es

AMERICAN WoNDERs.-The greatest
cataract in the world is the Fall of Mag
ara, where the water from the great up
per lakes form a river of three-quarters
of mile in width, and then, being sud
denly contracted plunges over the rocks
in two columns, TO the depth of one hun
bred and seventy feet each.
The greatest cave in the world is the
Monmouth Cave in Kentucky, where
any one can make voyage on the wat
ers of subterranean river and catch fish
without eyes.
The greatest river in the world is the
Mississippi, four thousand one hundred
miles long.
The largest valley in the world is the
Valley of the Mississippi. 1t contains
FIVE hundred thousand square miles, and
is one of the most fertile and profitable
regions of the globe.
The largest lake in the world is lake
Superior, which is truly an inland sea,
being four hundred thirty miles long
and one thousand feet deep.
The longest railroad in the world is
the Pacific Railroad, over three thousand
miles in length.
The greatest natural bridge in the
world is the Natural Bridge over Cedar
Creek in Virginia. 1t extends across a
chasm eighty feet in width and two hun.
bred and fifty feet in depth, at the bot
tom of which the creek flows.
The greatest mass of solid iron in the
world is the great iron mountain in Mis-,
souri,. 1t is three hundred and fifty feet
high and two miles in circuit.
The largest deposits Of anthracite Goa,
in the world are in Pennsylvania, the
mines of which supply the market witt
millions of tons annually, and appear tt

SCARCITY OF WooL.-The great scar
city of wool is another most important
feature in the dry-goods market. Whei
the farmers, a few years ago received
dollar per pound for their wool, they de-
voted all their energies to sheep-raising,
and in course of time the market was
glutted. As matter of course prices
fell rapidly, and many farmers, becom-
ing disguised, adopted the short-sighted
policy Of abandoning sheep raising alto
gether. The effects of this foolish step
are now becoming apparent. The sup
ply of wool is no longer equal to the de-
mand, and those farmers who have pa
tiently waited for their opportunity, now
control the market and dictate their own
terms. The natural consequence is an
increase in the price of wooden goods
which will probably be maintained fol
some time.

Henry Clay never liked to see dumb
animals abused or worried. When he
was at Washington very large, some
what noted billy goat roamed the streets
and the newspaper boys, boot-blacks,
and street-imps generally made common
cause against him. On one occasion,
while the statesman was passing down
the avenue, q large crowd of these mis-
chievous urchins were at their usual
sport. Mr.. Clay, with his walking stick
drove them away giving them sound
lecture in the meanwhile. AS they
scampered off and scattered in all direc-
tions, Billy, seeing no one but Mr.. Clay
within reach. made charge on him.
Mr.. Clay dropped his cane and caught
his goatship by the horns. The goat
would rear up, being nearly as high as
the tall Kentuckian himself, and the lat
ter would pull him down again. Thi;
sort of sport soon became tiresome. and
he could conceive of no way by which
he could free himself from the two-horn
ed dilemma, so in his desperation hesaus
out to the boys to know what to do. ON
of the smallest in the crowd shouted
back; " Let go and run you old fool J

LAzrNEss.-Physical laziness is one of
the most destructive vices of the age. 1t
causes weak, fabby, "sposhy" bodies,
which are always getting out of sorts,
and are so weak that strong mind is
completely thrown away upon one. In
fact, strong mind in weak body is
like a superior knife-blade in weak
handle. Its workmanship may be never
so finished, its temper never so true, its
edge never so keen, but for want Of
means to WELD it properly, it will not
cut to much purpose. Ambitious youths
who intend to carve out fame and for
tune with their sharp intellects, should
think Of this simile, and see to it that in
that their bodies-the handles whereby
they are to manage that wonderful weap-
on, the human mind-are kept in sound
jointed, firmly riveted, perfectly cleansed
condition.

person exerts over you. 1t is not intel

which emanates from him, so to speak.
There are persons, the mention of whose

nothing else does. Their lives are so ra-
dent, so genial, so kind, so pleasure
bearing, that you instinctively feel in
their presence, that they do you good
1t seems to you wholesome to breath the

fuence seems to you like the perfume Of

who are so genial, SO gentle, so forth
putting in the direction of purity and
