The Fegetative poWGss of life are strong, but
in few years how often tAe pallid hue, the lack
lustre eye and anaciated form. and the impossi-
bility of application to mental effort, show their
baneful influence. IL soon becomes evident to
the observer that rome depressing influence Is
checking the development of the body. Consump-
ton is talked Of, and perhaps the youth is re-
moved from school and sent into the country.
This Is one OF the woRst movements. Removed
from ordinary diversions of the ever-changing
scenes Of the city, the powers of the body, too
much enfeebled to give xest to heslthful and ru-
raj exercise, thoughts are turned iawardly upon
themselves.
If the patient be female the approach Of the
menses is looked for with anxiety, the first
symptom in which nature is TO show her saving
power in 6iffusipg the circulation and Visiting
the heck with the bloom of health. Alas in-
crease of appetite has grown by what it Esd on.
The energies Of the system are Frustrated, and
the whole economy is deranaed. The beautiful
and wonderful period in which body and mind
undergo so fascinating change from child to
woman, Is looked for in vain. The parents heart
bleeds In anxiety, aud faueies the grave but
waiting for its victim.

Trials.

Grace must be tried: yea,-every
grace; and nothing tries the grace
of a newborn heir more than wean-
ing him from the breast. Unbelief
within, oppositiens without, and
the withdrawing of the Kings pres
ence, try faith. Deep poverty tries
patience, and unabounding plenty
tries temperance. Cruel workings,
reproaches and insults tries meek
ness, abounding errors and damna-
BILE heresies will try the root of the
matter; wealth will try charity,
pleasure, beautiful snares and crea-
ture comforts, will try the sincerity
of love, feigned hypocrites, half
hearted professors, human applause
and clouds of self-seeking, men
pleasing preachers, will try faith
fulness, while every besetting sin
that strives for mastery will try the
loyalty of the heart. The word of
the Lord tried Joseph, and the same
incarnate word will try every heir
of promise. But when the King tries
them in the fire, he sits by as a Re-
finer.

Young Men Think.

No young man ever thinks that
he shall die. He may believe that
others will, or he will assent to the
doctrine that call men are mortal" !"
but he is far enough from bringing
it home to himself individually.
Youth, buoyant activity and animal
spirits hold absolute antipathy with
old age, as well as with death, nor
have we in the hey-day of life the
remotest conception how ''this SEN
sible warm motion can become a
kneaded clod." Or if, in a moment
of idle speculation we look vaguely
forward to the close of life, it is
amazing at what a distance it seems
what long, leisurely perspective
there is between. We eye the far
thest verge of the horizon and
think what way we shall have to
look back upon ere we arrive at our
journeys end, and, 10! before we in
the least suspect it, the mists are at
our feet and the shadows of death
encompass us.-HGzlitt.

Steamed Brown Bread.

One cup of Indian meal; two cups
of rye; one cup of molasses; two
cups of milk; half teaspoonful of
soda; the same of salt. Stir well
together and steam three hours,
taking care that the water does not
stop boiling. Add boiling water as
the water boils away. If you wish
it hot for breakfast-steam the day
before and in the morning set it
in the oven for half an hour to form
a good crust.

To Toast Mullins.

Pull open the sides of the muffin
exactly in the center, about half an
inch in, put the toasting fork in it
and toast it carefully. When it is
done, and it should only be lightly
toasted, pull it apart, lay little
butter inside, and close the muffin.
Put it on a hot plate and cut it in
four. If more than one is required,
lay them on the first done, but do
not send in great pile of mullins,
as they are better served hot. A hot
water plate with a cover-a regu-
lar muffin plate-should be used,
and two at the most only be sent in
at time.

Life g Troubles

We may compare the troubles
which we have to undergo in the
course Of this life to great bundle
of fagots, far too large for us to
lift. But God does not require US to
carry the whole at once. He mer-
cifully unties the bundle, and gives
us first one stick, which we are to
carry to day, and then another,
which we are to carry tomorrow,
and so on. This we might easily
manage, if we would only take the
burden appointed for us each day,
but we choose to increase our trou-
bles by carrying yesterdays stick
over again to-day, and adding to-
morrow's burden to our load before
we are required to bear it.

How to Select Flour.

First, look at the color, if it is
white, with a slightly yellowish OF
straw-colored tint, buy it. If it is
very white with blueish cast, OF
with black specks in it, refuse it.
Second examine its adhesiveness,
wet and knead a little between your
two fingers, if it it works soft and
sticky, it is poor. Third, throw a
lump of dry flour against a dry
smooth, perpendicular surface, if it
falls like powder, it is bad. Fourth,
squeeze some of the -four in your
hand, if it retains the shape given
by the pressure, that, too, is good
sign. Flour that will stand ali of
these tests it is safe to buy. These
modes are given by old -four deal
ers, and they pertain to n matter
that concerns everybody, namely,
'stafF of life"

Friendship.

All attachments subside after a
time, but such as are founded on
the solid basis of genial tastes, dis
positions and pursuits. We look
back with anguish on many things,
but on none with such bitterness of
heart as on the unkindness of those
who were once kind. Real friend
ship is no common blessing. Love
is but more agreeable modification
of selfishness. When its object
ceases to give pleasurable sensa-
tions, love takes its rapid flight; but
friendship, sublime friendship, out
lives deformity, and disease.

Crullers

One cup butter two cups sugar,
one cup sour milk, four eggs, one
half teaspoonful soda,one teaspoon
full cream of tartar, nutmeg to suit
taste, add flour to stiffen enough
to roll out, cut in rings and boil in
lard. The deeper and wider your
vessel, and the more lard you use
in all cakes of this description,
the better. Contrary to the theory
of nine-tenths of the women, the
more lard in your vessel the less
you use and lose, and the cakes do
not absorb near so much grease.

Apple Meringue.

Pare, core and stew 10 tart apples
in little waite, season as for pie
and put it in 3 fruit pie dish, into a
cool oven. Beat up. meanwhile, the
whites of 4 eggs as you would for
icing; piling it on the apple like
rocks, or irregular, avoiding the
edge of the dish. Return it to q
warm oven, and brown macaronl
color. Slip all out carefully, by aid
of knife or spoon, into a china dish,
and serve with cream, which if you
have not, make a custard Of the
yellows, favored with essence of
vanilla.
Custard may be used instead Of
apple; it may be soft one, and in
cups.

How to Mix Mustard.


Mustard should be mixed with
water that has been boiled and al
lowed to cool, hot water DESTROYS
its essential properties, and raw
cold water might cause it to ferment.
Put the mustard in cup, with a
small pinch of salt,and mix in very
gradually sufficient boiled water to
make it drop from the spoon with
out being watery. Stir and mix
well, and rub the Jumps well down
with the back Of spoon,
as mustard properly mixed should
be perfectly free from these. The
mustard pot should not be more
than half full, or rather less. if it
will not be used for day or two,s
the mustard is SO much better when
fresh made. % !.

Potatoe Puff.

Take cold roast meat-beef or
mutton, or veal and ham together
clear from gristle, cut small and
season with pepper, and salt, and
cut pickles, if liked, boil and mash
some potatoes, and make them into
a paste with an egg, and roll out,
dredging with flour. Cut round
with a saucer, put some of the sea-
soned meat with one-half, and fold
it over like a puff, pinch or nick ii
neatly round, and fry it a light
brown. This is good method OF
cooking meat which has been cook
ed before.

all together few minutes, I'LL thick

Cooking Raisins.

1t is well to cook raisins before
putting them into pies, cakes, or
puddings. Soaking them is not
sufficient. Steaming them by pour
ing small quantity of boiling wa
ter amongst them in tightly clos
ing dish, and allowing them plenty
of time to cook before opening, is a
good plan. When raisins are right
ly cooked before using, they are
plumper, and more palatable, and
can be eaten without injury by most
dyspeptics.

Life is made up, not of great sac
rafice of duties, but of little things,
in which smiles and kindness, and
obligations, gwen habitually, are
what win and preserve the heart
and secure comfort.
God made both tears and Taught
er and both for kind purposes; for
as laughter enables mirth and sur.
prise to breathe freely, so tears en-
able sorrow to vent itself patiently
Tears hinder sorrow from becominp
despair, and laughter is one of the
very privileges of reason.
Religion is the basis upon which
civil government rests-that from
which power derives authority, laws
their efficacy, and both their sane

There is born within every man
the germ of both virtue and vice.

That Kiss Of my Mother.

George Brown wanted to go some
where and his mother was not will
ing. He tried to argue the matter.
When that would not do, he spoke
roughly, and went off, slamming the
door behind him.
Instead of saying, II would real
ly like to go; but if you cannot give
your consent, dear mother, l will
try to do my best to be content to
stay,"-instead of saying and feel
ing so, he behaved in the way de-
scribed,-just as too many boys do.
George was fourteen, and
with fourteen years ex-
perience of one of the best of moth
ers, one would have thought better
of him. "But he was boy. What
can you expect of boys?" So say
some people.
Stop;hear more. That night, George
found thorns in his pillow. He
could not fix it in any way to go to
sleep on. He turned and tossed,
and he shook and patted it; but not
a wink of sleep for him. The
thorns kept pricking. They were
the angry words he spoke to his
mother. "My dear mother, who de
serves nothing but kindness and
love and obedience from me-" he
said to himself. 81 can never do
enough for her; yet how have 1 be-
haved?-her eldest boy! How she
nursed me through that feverp'
He would ask her to forgive him
in the morning. But suppose some
thing should happen before morn
ing. He would ask her now, to-
night, this moment. George crept
out of bed, and went softly to his
mothers room.
George" she said, ''is that you?
Are you sick% For mothers, YOU
know, EN- to sleep with one ear
and {. open, especially when the
fathers are away, as Georges father
was.
"Dear mother" he said, kneeling
at her bedside, 81 could not sleep
for thinking of my rude words to
you. Forgive me, mother, nv dear
mother,and may God help me never
to behave SO again.
She clasped the penitent boy in |
her arms, and kissed his warm cheek
George is big man now; but he
says that kiss was the sweetest mo-
ment of his life. His strong, heal
thy, impetuous nature became tenn
pered by gentleness of spirit. It'll
softened its roughness, sweetened
his temper, and helped him on to
true and Christian manhood.
Boys are sometimes ashamed to !
act out their best feelings. Oh, i'll
they only knew what loss it is to
them not to!-Aother's Magazine.
