Boiling Rice-Carolina Meth
cd. zy

First pick clean from rough
grains and foreign substance;then
wash it quickly in cold water,and
hurry it to the pot before the
grain is. at all softened. As the
quantity of water to be used in
boiling, there are two modes;one
is to put in twice as much water
as rice,and allow it to be absorb
ed by the grain; the other is to
put in three or four times as much
water, but to pour almost all of
it off as soon as the grain changes
from its pearly white color and
gives proof of having softened.
In both modes, when this stage
of the boiling has been attained,
the pot is to be withdrawn from
the hot fire and set where it will
be kept at a low steaming heat
until the water is all gone. This
last process is called ssoaking."
Properly conducted the rice
comes from the pot perfectly done
of a clear white, with each grain
firm and distinct, and swelled to
its original size. Salt, of course,
is to be added. Rice prepared
in this way should not be stirred
much in boiling OF it will become
gluey; a large open fork passed
through it once or twice will be
sufficient

Cooking Food for Stock.

The advantage of cooking food

and young stock, is fast becom.
ing one Of the settled question
in agriculture. We hardly know
a dairyman who does not pour
boiling water over his cut hay
and meal or bran; even if he does
not cook it by steaming. 1t is
found to economise feed, to. in
crease the flow ofmilk, and pre-.
mote appetite. Cows will eat
much more of cut hay and feed

en- out in the form of milk. To
stint cows at all in an ample sup
ply of proper food to keep up nu-
triton, and promote milk secre-
ton, can only be called a penny
wise and pound foolish policy.
1t will not pay. When roots are
also boiled or steamed, the nutri-
tive matter they contain is more
fully developed, and the same
weight Of roots produces larger
results, both in the condition Of
the cow and in her milk secretion.

Root up the Weeds.

Two boys, Jim and VIII, were
employed by a gentleman to
keep the paths Of his garden
weeded. Jim contented himself
with taking off the tops Of the
weeds. He soon cried, l have
cleared my path, and having
swept away the leaves, he went
off to play.
VIII was much longer at work
for he stopped to take all the
weeds up by the roots, and he was
tired when he went home.
But the rain came down in the
night and all the next day, and
when the boys father went a few
days after to look at the two paths
Jim's wanted wedding as much
as first, while Willie's was clear
and only needed a few turns Of
the roller to make quite neat.
So Jim was sent back to do his
work properly, and very tired he
would have, been had. not Will
good-naturedly helped him to
finish his task.
Only thorough work is worth
doing. Faults only half uprooted
will appear again and again, and
we shall almost despair Of curing
them. Will yon remember this.

The Duties of a Mother.

By the quiet fireside of home,
the true mother, in the midst of
her children,is sowing as in vases
of earth the seed of plants that
sometimes give to heaven the
fragrance of the blossoms, and
whose fruit shall be as a rosary
of angels deeds, the noblest Of
fering. she can make, through
the ever ascending and expand
ing souls of her children, to her
Maker. Every word that she ut
tiers goes from heart to heart with
power of which she little dreams
Philosophers tell us,in their spec
ulations, that we cannot lift a
finger without moving the dis
tant spheres. Solemn is the
thought, but not more solemn to
the Christian mother than the
thought that every word that falls
from her lips, every expression
of her countenance, even in the
sheltered walk and retirement OF
home, may leave an indelible
impression on young souls around
her, and form, as it were, under
lying strain of that education
which peoples heaven.

The Deceitful Heart:

There are many deceitful things.
The sea is deceitful. Calm and
quiet, spread out like a polished
mirror in the sun, or lightly tap
ping the boat with its gentle rip
pies, it seems as though it could
be trusted. and that no harm, but
pleasure alone could come from
its azure waters. But look again.
and it is neither smooth nor
calm, the stormy winds of heav-
en- have 1ashed it into savage fury,
and its treacherous waves run
ming mountains high cover and
engulf the ship.
The clouds are deceitful. In
a time of drought they promise
rain, and as the floating vapor
condenses and spreads many a
wishful eye is directed toward it
as it sails along the heaven and
moved by currents of air, advan-
ces toward us. But how often
the deceitful clouds break up,
float off without rain, and the
hot sun again pours from the
glowing azure its fervid rays on
the thirsty and parched earth.
The serpentis deceitful. Though
smore subtle than any beast OF
the field which the Lord God hath
made," he looks innocent and
harmless. But take care. Be
not deceived by his shining spots
and undulating motions, for ere
you are aware his deadly sting is
thrust out and mortal wound is
given. But the heart is more
deceitful than the sea, the clouds
or the serpent, for Kit is deeeitful
above all things" Pres, Ban
0er.

The Tidal Wave.

The tidal wave ofintemperance
unlike other sstidal waves, ,"sweeps
over us continually. No rock
bound cost, no mountain height
can arrest its terrible overflow.
There is no inland town or vii
lage too remote to be reached by
its surging waves. 1t rolls over
city and the country, and across
the continent, darking the land
with its baleful shadow,and bury
lug armies of men and women, be
meath its seething flood. Scarce
ly can we glance at the wrecks ii
leaves behind, and the hundred
thousand victims PROSTATE with
their faces in the dust, when the

The Little Brown Bird.

As was retiring from the dln
ner table'o of a friend in the coun-
try, one bright sunny day last
Autumn, as l cast my eye
through The bow-window, my at
tention was attracted by little
brown bird, sitting on the ground
near a mirror, winch the coach
man had brought from the city
that morning, and left leaninp
against the wing Of the house.
A group of friends and chi dren
Immediately gathered around to
to look at birdie, and with one
voice we said it had received an
injury, and could not fly, but the
next moment we found ourselves
mistaken, for it took wings and
was off. Very soon, however, it
returned, taking its position be
fore the mirror, and by its move
ments we soon discovered that
it was watching its own redee-
ton in the glass-mistaking it
for foe. l gazed a moment,
moved its head toward the other,
raised its feathers, stepped back
a little-the reflection, of course,
making the same defiant move
ments-and then, with all its
power, rushed forward to strike
its foe. The force with which it
struck the mirror, of course, sent
it backward. Recovering its
position, it would resume the
posture and 90 through the same
belligerent movements till ex-
hausted. Then it would fly away
for two or three minutes. On re-
turning. it would repeat the same
till again exhausted, but with lit
tie variation. Sometimes, before
flying away to recruit, it would
step behind the glass, as if look
ing for its foe there. The
bird was left undisturbed by the
family, though it vas close
ly watched till sunset. | do not
think it was absent five minutes
at a time.
The next morning, when the
family assembled in the dining
room, the first inquiry was for the
bird. The mirror having been
left in its position, we found the
bird at his post, apparently with
the motto in his mind, Never
give up. The same defiant spirit
the same belligerent evolutions
were acted out, with a few min
utes recess, till late in the after
noon, when the mirror was re-
moved.
AS l watched the little birds
movements,and saw its persistent
unforgiving spirit, | thought how
much this is like the spirit and
conduct of too many human be-
ings both of larger and smaller
growth! How many like birdie.
are fighting shadows or imaginary
enemies, how many think they
have defeated an enemy, when
if,like the bird, they will look be-
hind that which caused the shad-
ow, they will find that there was
no enemy to defeat!-ChriStiaa

Butche-ing Recipes.

As almost every family,at least
in the country,kill one or more
hogs every fall or winter, they in
variable make sausages, scrapple,
souse, ,and sometimes head-cheese.
Most families understand how to
manufacture pretty thoughly;
but others do not, and produce
anything but palatablearhcles. Il
made, however, afte: the follow
ing recipes l think they will
have no reason to complain.
sAUsAGEs.
To eight pounds finely chopped
pork, two pounds of beet, put
four ounces of salt, nearly, two
ounces of pepper,one tablespoon
full of ground cloves; one ounce
of sage. Some like a dash of cay
enne pepper, and others again a
little garlic.
SCRAPpLE.
Take hogs liver, lights, heart
tongue and the head except the
jows and offal pieces, both lean
and fat, from other parts of the
animal, boil them thoroughly in a
small quantity of water, chop all
pretty fine, after taking out OF
the liquor, season as for suasage,
then return to the pot, thicken-
ing the whole with one half buck
wheat meal and one half corn
meal, so that it will be about the
consistency of Indian meal, let
it boil gently for half an hour,
then pour in pans to cool, slice it
and fry in its own fat. 1t is far
better than what is commonly
called silver pudding
HEAD CHEESE.
Boil in water somewhat salted,
the ears, skin, feet and a proper
ton of the sides of hogs, till the
meat drops off Or the flesh is
quite soft. Take out and chop
not so fine as for sausage, season
with pepper,salt, cloves and herbs
mix well together and put it in
a pot or vessel with weight on
| it. When needed it can be cut
in slices and eaten cold.
sOUSE.
Boil the feet Of hogs till the
bones come out easily, land remove
them. Put them in a pot with
pepper,salt and cloves or allspice
and cover with vinegar. 1t is

A New Confidence Game

A well-dresed young man stop.
ped at a Vermont hotel last week,
for few days, and made acquain.
tances. The evening of the sec
cond day of his arrival a nice
, young lady came along, unattend-
ed, and Instantly attracted the
attention of the impressib!e young.
sters. who caavassed her charms
fully as they sat apart from her
at supper. The stranger youth
even went SO far as to say that be
would marry her if she would
have him; and offered, for a sub.
stautial wager, to pop the ques,
tion and have the marriage cere-
mony performed right away.
The wager was accepted, and also
the proposal of marriage made so
suddenly to her, by the young
man, and the parson called in,
who soon united the twain. The
sum wagered was paid over to the
happy bridegroom, and he and his
bride set off next day on their
marriage tour. What lends ro-
nance to the circumstance is the
fact that the young couple had al.
ready been man and wife for over
a year.

Newspaper Pirates.

From all over the country,
says the Bowling Democrat, we
hear complaints from our sub
scribers of their papers being
taken from the postoffices by
persons who want to read but
do not want to pay. These per-
sons carry the papers home and
generally keep them. They are
double robbers: they rob the
subscribers, in the first instance,
and then they rob us; for the
subscriber, ,despairing of getting
to read the paper he pays fol-
will, after a while order it dis
continued. We speak very
modestly when we say we are
robbed Of fully several hundred
dollars per annum in this way.
Let the newspaper pirate be dis.
countenanced, and if possible
discouraged. Postmastersshould
deliver papers only to those au.
thorized to receive them; anC
the newspaper pirate ought t.
repent and become a paying
subscriber.
