THE farm laborers of Yaxley, near
Hun tingdon, England, met lately for
discussion. Their ex-employers, the
farmers, gathered at the outskirts OF
the crowd Of a thousand men, and, to
show their contempt for it, kept rafting
the wooden clappers with which boys
frighten off crows. After enduring the
insult for short time in grim silence,
the yeomanry suddenly rushed upon
them, thrashed them with a gratifying
,horoughness, and drove them into the
town. Then they resolved to demand
two shillings week more than they bad
previously asked. This the farmers
will be pleased to grant, and will so
suffer a further punishment for their
folly.

A CALIFORNIA Journal tells a story OF
gentleman who, having gone ex-
tensively into the Angora goat business,
built spacious corral, and erected
proof sheds to protect his property
from the weather. When the heavy
storm came he drove the goats into the
corral at night. But on going late in
the evening to look after them, not a
goat could he find. just as he was
about to 90 away, greatly disturbed, he
happened to lift his lantern and his
eyes upward, and he beheld the entire
flock Of goats perched on the top Of his
carefully .constructed shed, and evident.

pouring down.

Domestic Recipes.

TO Make Hard Water Sof-Take one
ounce of fresh lime and stir it well in a
bucket of water, and stir all thoroughly
in barrel of water, and as soon as it
settles, the water will be soft and fit
for use, as it will drive all impurities to
the bottom. River water, when muddy,
is better to drink by this process.
To Keep Icc.-Make double pocket
OF strong wooden cloth, no matter how
coarse and faded it is. Have a space of
two inches or so between the inner and
outer pockets, and pack this space as
full as possible with feathers. You have
no need to use geese feathers; hens
feathers are just as good. With a
pocket thus constructed and closely
tied at the mouth, few pounds of ice
may be kept week.
Cinnamon Rolls.-Take some of the
dough you make bread Of. Work in
shortening and sugar. Then make a
paste OF butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
Roll your dough out thin, spread in this
paste and roll up, putting it in your
pans. Let them stand until they be-
come light, and bake. After they are
done, eat them with your coffee or tea,
just as you like.
Boiled Indian Pudding. one quart
OF Indian meal, add one tablespoonful
OF lard, teaspoonful of salt, one-half
teaspoonful of soda, and half teacup of
nice inolasses pour on boiling water
and stir till it forms a very stiff batter |;
wet the pudding bag, made of strong,
new cloth, in boiling water; flouron the
right side, turn it inside out, and put
your pudding batter in tie it so it may
swell one-third, and boil three hours
with a boiled dinner. Serve with but.
ter and maple syrup, or sugar dissolved.
Stra,oberry Cdke.-Prepare pound
cake; mash ripe strawberries, and drain
them; spread the fruit evenly on the
cake and frost the top; stick large ripe
berries on the cake, before the icing
sets, swecten the juice and serve it
with the cake this is a proper dinner
oish, but is good for tea also.
Plum Pudding.-One pound of raisins,
one pound Of currants, crumbs of q six
cent loaf of bread, grated one cup OF
hour, three eggs, one pint Of milk, hall
quarter of citron, two cups Of sugar, one
nutmeg. Well beaten and stand over
night. Take five hours to cook. II
you want large one, take double the
quantity of ingredients.

A LOUISVILLE lady's Gather dear,
darling Tommy-sickened and died the
other day, and the weeping maiden
buried it decently in the back yard,
wrapping the carcass in n white shroud.
Two ancient maiden ladies who lived
next door witnessed the .interment from
an upper window, and were profoundly
Mortified. OF course they went to the
police about it, and were ready to swear
they had heard the child cry as it was
carried to its burial. Two officers, armed
with spades and followed by a crowd
from the street, allowed the ancient
females to guide them TO the spot where
the evidence Of the infanticide lay buried.
The cat was exhumed and the old maids
departed wiser, but undoubtedly sadder,

sometimes difficulty of respiration and
troublesome cough, are familiar to

Plaster for Potatoes.

According to Mr.. Compton, author of
the prize essay on the cultivation Of the
potato, very remarkable results are OBJ
tanned from plaster by busting the vines
with it as soon as they are through the
soil again Immediately after the last
blowing and hoeing; and at intervals
through the whole growing season. The
first application may be light, the
second heavier, and after that more
bountiful, say 200 pounds to the acre.
1t renders the plants less palatable to
insects, and appears TO be fatal to many
Of the fungi family. The vines retain a
bright, lively green color, and the tubers
continue swelling until growth is stop
ped by the frost (; besides, potatoes thus
grown are so sound and free from dis.
ease as to be easily kept for the spring
market, without loss by rot. Mr.. Comp
ton says he has seen field, all planted
with the same variety at the same time,
on one-half of which, that had received
no plaster, the yield was but 60 bushels
per acre, and many rotten; while the
other hale, to which plaster had been
applied, yielded $50 bushels per acre,
and not an unsound one among them.

An Ohio fruit grower writes to the
Fruit Recorder, giving his plan with the
borer: "Take raw stable manure, and
put from one to two forks full clear
round the trunk OF the tree once each
year; it should be done in April. This
will keep out the worms, and will slim
ulate the tree and make it grow thrifty
also. If the manure cannot be had,
take soft soap" In Barry's Fruit
Garden, we find the following remedy
given: "Where trees are already
affected, the proper course is to remove
the earth from around the collar of the
root, clear away the gum, destroy any
cocoons that may be found, trace the
grub through its holes in the tree, and
kill it; then fill up around the tree with
fresh earth, and place a shovelful or
two Of ashes around the tree"

V,AKE 1T TO YOUR HOME.

1t Is so much the fashion nowadays to con-
vey information, and moral truths and senti-
ments, in the form of stories, that even some
popular lecturers have adopted this style of ad.
dress. The mass OF people, especially the young,
demand stories to such degree, that papers
hlled with sensational novels and exciting,
trashy stuff, have a wide circulation. To fore
stall this taste, and supply something better to
the masses, the publishers of HEARTH AND
HOME in addition to the usual variety of that
paper, have engaged corps of first-class writers,
among whom are Jean Ingelow, Edward Egg
gleston, Mary E. Dodge, Louisa M Alcott, Ed
ward Everett Hale, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
Harriet Prescott Spofford, Rose Terry, Maria r.
Oakley, Lucia G. Runkle, and many others, who
furnish to this Journal the best original stories
of the purest character and highest grade--thus
conveying much instruction in a pleasing form.
Besides these, the WEEKLY HEARTH AND
HOME contains a large amount of first-class
reading, editorials, literature, art, science,
amusement; instruction for the housekeeper
the gardener, the farmer; a capital department
for children and youth; the news OF the day;
fnancialland market reports, etc. Its engravings,
costing over S25 900 year. are of high order of
merit, unsurpassed by any Illustrated paper In
the world. Altogether, HEARTH AND HOME
is such journal as may be safely and very pro-
fitably taken into any family. 1t is supplied at
the low rate of s. a year; four copies for slI;

IN THE ORCHARD.

Scarcely less enjoyable than the season
of ripening fruit is this season of rapidly
expanding foliage and heavy bloom in the
orchard in spring. The lover of trees feels
an exquisite pleasure in watching their
growth, and assisting in every way possible
the development of the seasons. The size,
color, flavor, weight, date of ripening and
keeping quality of the fruit, are all measu-
rably under the control of the skillful cul-
tivator. The seasonable application
of manures, pruning, rubbing off
buds, pinching back shoots, STIR
ring the ground, scraping the trunk,
and various familiar expedients, not only
modify the tree but are at once made WISH
BILE in the fruit. This control of creative
processes which are full of wonder and
miracle, invests the growing of fruit with
an interest which onlyathose feel who share
the fine enthusiasm of the horticulturalist.
We are sorry for everybody who takes no
delight in planting and tending fruit trees.
They are bereft of one of the purest and
most innocent delights of existence. .
The employment Of our happy race be-
fore the fall was gardening. Eden was full
of trees, and vines, and strawberry beds,
no doubt. Indeed, a distinguished fruit
grower, who is also preacher, contends
that it was not an apple that Eve ate, but
a strawberry of favorite variety, and he
thinks she ought to be judged lightly when
its beauty and fine flavor are taken into
account. However that may be, we be-
lieve that the way back to Eden lies
through the orchard. Horticulture makes
an Eden for us everywhere. But we have
to pay our way. There is no reward but
| for toll.
| But labor is sweetened every day by the
promise which spring prophesies, and sum-
mer confirms, and the autumn verifes in
sure returns, for work well done.
Now is the time for busy hands to as
sure fine crop of fruit. Pinch in the
suckers, rub off buds that will form
branches in the wrong place. Look out
for insects, especially the coddling moths,
whose webs are spun with the earliest
leaves, rendered by ravenous squirming
population, ready to strip the tree in day.
Till and wash with lye or soap-suds.

VIM. LLOYD GARRISON answers the
stupid assertion that Office holders are
bringing about the denomination of Gen.
Grant, in opposition TO the wishes of the
great body of the Republican party, as fol-
lows:
1t will be the act of the party, soldly
combined, intelligently Nverned, indie
pendently moved, and infexibly resolved
and the ratification of the act by those
who are in Office no dscredit is to be at
tached, but rather commentator. For
are these the concomitants of popular gov
ernmeft-namely, that all, or at least the
great body, of those holding office under it
are men utterly devoid of personal integrity
and public trustworthiness and that, con-
seduently, they should not be allowed the
common right of citizens to act in the cleo
ton of chief magistrate Then they
are not only permanently ostracised, but
upon the people rests the disgrace of their
appointment! The only logical deduction
from this shameful state of things seems to
be thatThere should be neither any office
holding nor any popular government at all;
for they are inseparable in this country,
and must stand or fall together.

THE moment we knock the Dispatch
down on one point, it is up on another.
Our objection to linked schools" in this
State has never been based ON the ground
that colored teachers were not fit to teach
white children, nor that colored children
were not fit to be taught with white ones;
but on the ground that the attempt to edu-
cate them together, in the present state and
temper Of the public mind, would result in
breaking up the whole free-school system
in the State. And we wish our contem-
porary distinctly to understand that is not
our prejudice against the colored race which
goes to make any part of this "public
sentiment" but that which the
Dispatch sedulously seeks to create
and keep alive in the public mind.
We would much sooner have mixed schools
than none, as we now prefer separate
schools to none. We simply accept the
situation as it is. We find the prejudice of
race too deeply rooted, on both sides, to
be successfully eradicated for the present,
or to make mixed schools desirable in any
part of the State. We, therefore, 60
against these schools. But we are not so
illogical as to deny all schools to colored
children, because we cannot give them
mixed ones. The Dispatch would have
us do this, to be consistent with its own
mot our logic.

WE feared as much. That champion of

would go down, down, down, until he was
entirely out of sight before the convention.
Well, a man who weighs plumb ton, two
thousandtwo hundred and forty, ought to
know betterx than to try to, ride to the

platform or party that would undertake it.

much better.
