How TO MAKE SAUER-KRAUT.-The best
done so for many years, and for a consid-
cradle time with our own hands, and al
ways with Savoy cabbage. 1t was manu-
featured in this wise: In the first place,
let your "stand," holding from half bar
rel To barrel, be thoroughly scalded out /;
the cutter, the tub and the stamper, also,
well scalded. Take oil all the outer leaves
Of the cabbages, halve them, remove the
heart and proceed with the cutting. Lay
some clean leaves at the bottom of the
stand, sprinkle with handful Of salt, fill
in half bushel of cut cabbage, stamp
gently until the juice just makes its APP
peaTance, then add another handful of salt,
and so on until the stand Is full, Cover
over with cabbage leaves, place on top a
clean boad fitting the space pretty well,
and on top of that stone weighing twelve
or fifteen pounds. Stand away in a cool
place, and when hard freezing comes on,
remove to the cellar. 1t will be ready for
use in from three to six weeks. The cab
bage should be cut tolerably coarse. The
Savoy variety makes the best article but
it is only half as productive as the Drum
head and Flat Dutch. We will just add
that there II no dish more wholesome than
well-made sour-krout, but it should al
ways be boiled with a piece of picked
pork or corned beef Geymantown Teie-

ENTHUSIASM NECESSARY TO SUCCESS
There was never, probably, time in the
worlds history when high success in any
profession demanded harder or more in
cessant labor than now. Men can no lon
ger 80 at one leap into eminent position.
The world, as Emerson says, is no longer
clay, but rather iron in the hands of its
workers, and men have got to hammer out
place for themselves by steady and rug
ged blows. Above all, deep and burning
enthusiasm is wanted in every one who
would achieve great ends. No great thing
is, or can be done without it. 1t is quail
ty that Is seen wherever there are earnest
and determined workers,-in the silence of
the study, and amid the roar of the cannon /;
in the painting of picture, and in the
carving Of a statue. Ability, learning, ac-
complishment, opportunity, are all well I;
but they do not, OF themselves, insure sue
cess. Thousands have all these, and live
and die without benefting themselves or
others. Men, on the other hand, of medi-
ocre talents, often scale the dizzy sleeps OF
excellence and fame because they have
firm faith and high resolve. 1t is this solid
faith in ones misson,-t enthusiasm,
attracting an Agassz 10 the Alps or Anna
ION, impelling Piny TO explore the vol
cano in which he is to lose his life and
nerving Vernet, when tossing in a fierce
tempest, 10 sketch the waste of waters, and

later, is almost inevitable. -From Professor

wandered off to parts unknown, and all
one night his kind mistress was troubled
with fears that some one would find him
and sell him TO Snowman, and that lie
would grow up demoralized, vagabond,
learned bear. But he returned like prodi-
gal son, and humbly licked her hand, and
then his own paw, in token of hunger. lie
showed decided favoritsm. On one of the
servants, who hid been kind TO him, he
lavished caresses, but always turned cold,
bear shoulder on the cook, who had leased
for sugar and pickles. When eating he
gave his whole attention TO the business,
and did not like to be talked TO or inter
fered with in any way. Over his pan of
milk he was cross as an alderman over his
plate of turtle soup. If any one touched It,,
he would take it up and carry it, growing,
10 the other side of the pen.
one day, when he was about four months
old, the eldest of the little lads, bis favorite
comrade, annoyed him by idle fooling, at
the supreme moment OF Sc lemn feasting,
and for all his gentle Christian training,
and exclusively human associations, he
showed spice Of original cinnamon--in
fact, turned on his play-lellOw and bit him.
The boy, in turn, whipped him severely.
This was the crisis -poor little bruin was
declared dangerous. "Beware, MacduffP'
was the cry, and in family council it was
res olved to send him from home-to ban
ish him to Manitou. He went with evident
relu ctance-giving the freshman who led
him no end of trouble. He would stand on
his hind feet and fall back with all his
might-then suddenly rush forward and
catch Pat by the legs.
Little Macduff, now about six months
old, is seeing life and having tolerably
good time at the gay waterng-place. He
is petted, be-praised and sugared-he
stands erect, and balances on his head for
very distinguished people, who condescend
to laugh at his droll and jolly ways. He
has been promoted TO n meat diet, but he
has not forgotten his old home and earliest
friends. When his mistress and the chill
drcn go over to see him, his bears heart
inelts within him. He Is overioyed. TO see

Oh. The Pleasant Day. Of Ola.


Obi the pleasant days of old, which so often people
praise
True they wanted all the Injuries that grace our mod
orn days;
Bare floors were strewed with rushos the walls let in
the cold;
OH how they must have shivered in those pleasant
days Of old
OH those ancient lords of DID, how magnificent they
werel
They threw down and imprisonei kings-to thwart
them who might dare7
They ruled their serfs right sernly they took from
Jews thor gold
Above both law and equity were those great lords of
old!
OH the gallant Knights Of old, for their valor so re-
nownedl
with sword and lance, and strong they secured
the country round;
And whenever aught to tempt them they met by wood
wold
BY light of sword they seized the prize-those gallant
knights of old
OH the gentle danes Of old, who, quite free from
fear pain,
Could gaze on joust and tournament and see their
champions slain;
They lived good beefsteaks and ale, which mad
them strong and bold
Oh! more like men than women those gentle
danes of oldl
OH those mighty towers of old with their turr cts,
moat and keep,
Their batlements and bastons, their dungeons dark
and deep.
Fun many baron held his court within the castle
hold
And many cap vo langushcd there, m those strong
towers Of old.
Oh! the troubadours of old, with their gentle min
strelse
OF hope and Joy, deep despair, Whichever their lot
might be
For years they served their ladyeovos they their
passions told
Oh, wondrous patience must have had those trouba-
dours of old!
OH those blessed times Of DID, with their chvalry
and state;
love to read their chronicles which such brave deeds
relate;
love to sing their ancient rhymes to hear their le-
gends told
But, heaven be thanked live not in those blessed
times Of old! Frances BroWn.

FASHION VOTES.

The "Directoire basque is one of the
newest inventions in ladies' garments.
All the imported dresses this season
are made with basque and open front.
Flat folds piped or plain, of all widths
and designs promise to be the iavoritc
trimming for dress materials.
The "Persian'' colors are very much in
vogue just now they are very rich and ex-
ensive.
Bows of China Grape in pale co!orS, or
namen ted with Valoncienncs medalions,
are much worn in the hair.
The most stylish dresses this season
will be as plain as possible. Black silk
will be the favorite material for street wear.
Pretty and c,qncttish breakfast caps
are much worn by MARI led and III married
young ladies.
-Worth's latest Dolmans are OF soft fine
cloth, nearly covered with braiding, trim
med with ostrich feathers, and lined with
silk plush.
Young ladies who sigh after hish-back-
ed silver combs need only TO hunt among
their grandmother's relics to lind '.just the
thing
Cut steel has superseded oXidiZed sill
yer for belt-bucklcs, chatelaines, and the
like. Small jewelry of this material is also
coming into fashion again.
Now aud then rcdingotc is seen with
a ruff in the neck instead of a coat collar
but this is condemned as a mixture of style.
The redingote has scarcely changed at all
this fall. The two rows of big buttons and
the bound button holes are still its only
trimming in front, but it is frequently
made with two bases now, rendering it
nearly ti2ht-iittinG. The sash Topped on
the left side is as often dispensed with as
used, and plain belt clasping in front is
regarded as most elegant.
Everything, from Dolman to an Eng
fish walking jacket, appears in new devices
of form and trimming, and yet never were
the caprces OF fashion more sonsbly or
becomingly expressed. One Of the prettiest
iancies is seal-skin sacque that can he
worn, like Bryan OLynn's unmentiona-
bles, "the furry side out or the furry side
in" just as it suits the pleasure of the wear
err. a thoroughly French sacque is made
OF n peculiar knotted cloth, trilnmed with a
superb band of costly unplucked otter |;
muif to match. A Dolman from Pingat's
is Of rich cancels hair, braided in three
shades, and edged with deep fringe.

WHAT is A GENTLEMAN Pin the course
of an address TO the Leeds Young Mems
Christian Association, delivered lately by
the Bishop of Manchester, England, his
lordship said: Some think gentleman
means man of independent forlune-a
man who fares sumptuously every day a
man who need not work Lard for his daily
bread. None Of these things make gem
tleman not one of them, nor all together.
l have known men when / was brought
closer in contact with working-men
than, from my changed position, l am
brought now-I have known men of the
toughest exterior, who had been accustom-
cd all their lives to follow the plow and 10
look after horses, as thorough gentlemen in
heart as any nObleman that ever wore a
ducal coronet. l mean l have known
them as unseltish, have known them as
truthful, have known them as sympathiz-
ing; and all these qualities go to make
what understand by the term "a gentle
man.. It is a noble privilege which has
been sadly prostituted, and what want to
tell you Is that the humblest man in Leeds
who has the lowest work to do, yet, if his
heart be tender and pure and true, can be,
in the most emphatic sense of the word, "a
