the pudding is to be boiled; cut into very
thin slices ozs of candied lemon peel
and place in a fanciful device in the bot

then add slices of sponge-cake, dropping
a little butter on each slice, and sprinkling
Zante currants thickly between each layer
proceed in this manner till the mold is
nearly full; then flavor / qt. of sweet
cream with nutmeg and grated lemon
rind, and add 9 table-spoonfuls of pow
dered sugar; beat thoroughly 8 eggs and
stir into the cream; beat the mixture for
ten minutes and then pour into the mold,
which it should quite fill tie buttered
paper over it and let stand for two hours
then tie with cloth, put into boiling
water, and let boil sl0scly but steadsly for
one hour. In taking it up let it stand fol-
a minute or two before the cloth is remov-
ed, then quickly turn it out For sauce

Gle Of IT, am persuaded that one reason
why our workingmen so universally keep
clear OF ministers Is because they abhor
their artificial and unmanly ways. Ii they
saw us, In the pulpit and out Of IT,
acting like real men, and speaking
naturally, like honest men, they
would come around u.s. Bakers remark
still holds good: The want of a familiar
tone and expression is great fault In
most of our deliveries, and that which we
should be very careful to amend The
vice of the ministry is that ministers will
yersonifcate the Gospel. We must have
humanity along with our divinity if we
would win the masses. Everybody can
see through affectations, and people are
not likely to be taken in by them. Fling
away your stills, brethren, and walk on
your feet; dof your ecclesiasticism, and
array yourselves in truth"

Gush pressed onward and upward and
Miss Ellen Jessup followed. The re-
mainder of the party had gothigh enough.
The guides were shamed into following
the two adventurous young people, but
finally they came to another dead halt, and
said they had positively taken their last
step toward certain destruction. Miss Jes-

Gush fell and was lost in an eddylng
whirlpool ofsnow. The brave American
girl uttered cry, but she was yet careful
not to faint In a minute she and the
guide reached the spot where the young
man had disappeared. He had fallen into
a gorge filled with snow, and was seen
struggling sixty feet below. That was the
end of Gush's ascent OF the mountain.
Miss Jessup ordered his guide to tie the
cord around her waist, and thus she was
lowered into the abyss. She reached the
struggling Englishman just as he was
about to give up from exhaustion, and,
seizing him in her arms, the two made
their way safely to the summit OF the
precipice. Gush had gone far enough,
but not as far as Miss Jessup, who imper-
lied her life to save his. If Gush has any
feelings Of a man, and if Miss Jessup's
heart Is in her work-well, it is the plain

ventures such rescue as this has never
taken place. The Federal Council OF

THE YELLOW COTTAGE.

Between a river and wood,
With not another house in sight,

Through all life's rosy morning played.
No other child the region knew;
Ny only playmate was myself,
And all our books, q treasured few,
Were gathered on single shelf;
But oh

What those old volumes were TO mel
On winter nights beside the fire,
In summer, sitting In the door,
turned. with love that did not tire,
Their well-worn pages DER and Ger;
In me,
Though sadly fallen, it Is true,
Their heroines all lived anewi
One day, about my neck ruff
or elder flowers with fragrant breath,

To suit the part, Elizabeth;

Above the river, / would sit
For hours, and wreath my yellow locks,
