seven miles from the station. So she sits
calmly upon a seat placed on the great
wooden platform which surrounds the
country depot, aud gazes with amazemets
upon the train which arrives, rauscs few
moments to take on passengers, aud then
proceeds upon its journey. The station

alarmed at the speed at which they are
going, but gradually becomes calm, and
much interested in the novelty of her sur

her many inquiries very civil lyiand among
other things, tries to explain the use of

How 70 Cook A HUsDAND.-As Mrs.
Glass said of the hare, you must first
catch him. Having done so, the mode Of.
cooking him so as to nuke good dish Of
him is as folowsi iga .3te
Many good husbands are spoiled in the
cooking :some women go about it as if
their husbands were bladders, and blow
them up; others keep them constantly in
hot water, while others freeze them by
conjugal eoldness some smother them in
hatred, contention, and variance; and
some keep them in a pickle all their lives
These women always serve them up
with tongue sauce. Now it cannot be-
supposed that husbands will be tender and
good if managed in this way; but they
are, on the contrary, very delicious when
managed as follows Get large jar, call
ed the jarof careiulness (Which all good
wives have on handy, place your husband
in it, and set him near the fire of conjugal
love; let the fire be pretty hot, especially
let it be clear; above ALL let the heat be
constant; cover him over with affection,
kindness. and subjecton garnish with
modest, becoming familiarity, and the
spice of pleasantly ;iand if you add kisses
and other cnnfectionarics, let them be ac-r
