Man and Wife.

Thomas jefferson wrOt the follow
ing advice. There is much human ma
ture and good sen>e i'll it:
"lIarmony in the human state is the
very first to be aimed at. Nothing can
preserve affections uninterrupted but a
firm resolution never to differ in will.
and Il determination i'll each to conSid
er the love of others of more value
than any object whatever Oh which Il
wish had been fixed. How light. i'll
fact. is the sacrifice of any other wish
when weighed against the affection of
one with whom we are to pass our
whole life. Aud though opposition
in il single instance will hardly of it
self produce alienation, yet every one
has their pouch into which all these lit
tie uppositiol : are put: while that is
filling the alienation is inSenSibly go
ing on. and when filled it is complete.
1t would puzzle either to say why, be
cause no one difference of opinion has
been marked enough to produce Sc
riou> effect 10y itself. But he finds his
affection wcaried ont 10y Il constant
stream of little checks and obstacles.
Other sources of discomfort. very COM
mon indeed, are the little cross pur-
poses of husband and wife. in common
conversation. ii disposition in either to
critici>r and question whatever the 9TH
cr SAYS. Il desire always to demonstrate
and make him feel himself in the
wrong. especially i'll company. Moth
ing is 50 goading. Much better there
fore. If our companion view Il thing i'll
n li0lt different from WhIt we do,
leave him in quiet possession of his
views. What is the Use of rcrtitying
pass for the present. and wait Il softer
moment and more conciliatory occa-
sion of rcviviug the subject together.
1t is wonderful how many persons are
rendered unhappy 10y inattcnti"m to
these little rules of prudence"

work. the street door opened, and a
youthful peddler with Il basket of knic-
knacks presented himself. When told
that nothing in his line was wanted. the
little rascal began to talk back" i'll il
most impudent manner, and was finally
ordered to leave the office. This he
refused to do. and thinking to scare
him. the student pulled ii string, and
open flew the door where the skeleton
was hidden, and that emblem of death
Sprang out mt the boy, who. frightened
half out of his wits. dropped his basket
and scampercd out of the office, taking
up position on the opposite side of
the street to await further events.
just then the doctor. "Old Bones"
came from his study, and learning the
cause of the uproar. he went to the door
and mOtioned the boy to come and get
his wares-"No You don't" he called
out. Il know You if You have got your
clothes"

was member of Congress from this state.
he was wont to he visited on his return
from the annual session of Congress. by
Il supplemented neighbor. who would
sit the entire evening asking him qucs-

was thoroughly exhausted On one oc-
caSiOn he determined to he rid 81. his
unwelcome visitor without doing any
violence t" his urbanity. So when the
visit had been sufficiently protracted he
said :
Mr.. A., when was in Washington
one of the foreign ministers was kind
enough to give me Il root. which, when
tasted, has the power of comforting I'M
mortality; at least no one who has
tasted it has ever died. When YOU go
will give You II small piece of it,"
In Il few minutes Mr.. A. arose and
said he would go. and would esteem it
an everlasting favor to have IL small
piece of that root.
Mr.. b. retired, and soon brought back
Il piece of rhubarb root done up in IL
paper, and gave to his visitor with IN
functions to use great care of it and
keep it secret.
Mr. y. left the room. but in few
moments returned, and sticking his

How to Cook a Parsnip.

y hadly-co"kcd par>nip is neither
catahlc nor digc>tihlr. but cook it
properly and it i Il dclicIcy worthy of
Il place on an cpicurc'S table. ! shall
cndcavor to show how to make the
best of this nouli>hing root. and hope
that many readers who have cared lit
tie for p;lr>nil> hithcrt" will. after Il
fair trial. appreciate them as they de
serve. No matter what the size nr
shape of Il par>nip. it is invariably
good throughout. and very little. in
deed. should hc wasted i'll preparing it
for the table. The best are those
of medium size and even outline. with
few brown >pcckS on the bark. They
should come into the cook hands quite
clean. and to prepare them thus far it
is generally necessary To scrub them in
cold water. From the moment they
are taken in hand for cooking until
they are served on the table there
should he no delay of any kind for the
more they lie about after being Scraped.
and especially if they soak i'll water
the more they lose i'll flavor and tender
ness. for the most precious qualities
are soluble. and are soon soaked ont.
the fibre only being left. Cut out the
crown without waste. remove the eX
IRENE tail and any small side roots.
and then >crapc oil the bark and care
fully cut the brown SpcckS and strcak>.
1t is better t" srrapc than pare them.
for the outside is richly favored and
highly nutritious. 1t is scarcely posi-
bile To cook large parsnips whole. and.
of course. there need he no directions
h,,,t T.. -,
important to bear in mind that they
should always he cooked whole if pos
Sihle, and. when they must he cut. the
less cutting the better. The more they
are cut, the more surely the goodness
files away, flies away" Now. we want
for the cooking a small quantity ofhoil-
ing water seasoned slightly with salt.
i'll an iron pot sufficiently large for the
parsnipS. Throw them in. shut them
down, and put the pot on the fire As
soon as ii boilS draw it to the side. and
there let it simmer for full three-uuart-
erS of an hour. and then try the pars-
nips with Il fork. If quite tender. pour
the water off, and shut them down. and
keep them on the hob until they are
wanted. They may stand an hour
without harm, if close shut down. on IL
hot hob with steam enough of their
own t" keep them from burning. If cook
ed slowly ill scarcely water enough to
cover them. they will he as soft us but
ter. and of the most delicious flavor. If
cooked i'll a large quantity OF water.
and especially if put on in cold water.
they will be comparatively worthless.
for the goodness will he soaked ont of
them. as too often it is soaked ont of
