How to Make Good Soup.

"Daisy Eyebright" says, in the Country
Gentleman: st hath been well said that
soup is to a dinner what an anthem is to a
sermon, and it is always desirable to have
it as a first course; and in many families it
will do for first, second, and third course
Now we have special fondness for pea-soup,
when well made, and can assure you, friends,
that there are many persons who share our
fondness; so we give it to you also, begging
that you will prepare and partake of it with
a gusto that is seemly: Soak one quart of
peas (split if you can get them) over night;
next morning early put them over the fire
with one pound of cOrned beef or pork (beef
is the best to my taste, however, and let
them boil hard for three hours. Then add
chopped carrot and turnip. and an onion if
liked; a tablespoonful of ceery-seed or a
handful of celery.tops, and boil another
hour or more; then strain through sieve,
season with pepper, and cut up two thin
slices of toasted bread into the shape of small
dice; put into the tureen; turn on your soup
and serve. A cup Of milk boiled in it for
twenty minutes is On Improvement. Small
white beans can be substituted for peas, and
made in the same manner"

Earth a Blank Without Christ.

An aged Christian was very near the end
of his journey. Like Jacob of old, he
leaned, as it were, on top of his staff, and
conversed with children and friends. Length
of days, wealth, position, and loving faml-
ly had made his life what the world would
call a success. A merchant for half CEN
fury, failure had never been written against
his name. His word was as good as anoth-
sr's bond.
After the active busy hours of lifes day
were over, he spent the eventide in his pleas
ant home, with his fayorite books and pa
pers about him, and cared for by loving
hearts and tender hands. Respected of men,
and blessed in his household, who shall say,
as men count profit and loss, that life to him
was not success?
And yet, listen to the testimony of his
last hours. "This world is blank without
Christ" were the words spoken to Chris
tian friend who stood by his bedside. Rest
ing for a moment on the hilltop, and look
ing back over the pleasant path that had led
him thither, he ascribed all the blessings of
the way to Jesus his Lord. For nearly fifty
years an earnest disciple of the Master, he
could say, as his eyes grew dim and his
strength failed, "Whom have in heaven but
Thee, and what is there to be desired on
earth besides Thee. What now to him are
houses and lands and stocks? Is not his
Redeemer everlasting riches? Did He not
tell of the many mansions in His Father
kingdom, prepared for the faithful? What
to him, in this solemn hour, is the respect
and trust of men if the Lord shall only say
to his waiting soul, "Well done, faithful
servant.
What, indeed, in comparison, are children,
beloved and friends however dear, if Jesus,
the Conqueror of death, makes the valley
light with His presence? Oh, to pass from
life into the shadows of the grave without
Him, the Christ, would be utter emptiness
and a void. The soul reaching out there fol
help, finds that the deeds and title, note;
and bonds, which certify earthly possessions
are worth no more than so many blanks.
But to this dying believer the world was
not blank; for Christ, the brightness of the
Fathers glory, filled it with His all-suficient
presence. So, as all earthly scenes vanished
and faded away in the mists of death, look
of glad surprise, as if the spirit had caugh
a glimpse of the glories beyond the river
was impressed on the countenance of thu
departing saint. Let me die the death o
the righteous.

Hints to Writers.

1t is a great thing to have some little work
always going forward. Only by experience
will you really understand how very little
thing done faithfully every day will in the
process of days mount up to great sum-
If you are human being who can write Ito
write is the great consolation of some,) then
write even one page day. The days pass;
the pages accumulate; they grow into some
thing very considerable. And what is writ
ten, is written. 1t abides; you have some
thing to show for your work. It's vexing
thing in the work of many men, that great
deal of it just does the thing needful for the
day, and leaves no permanent trace. Even
to. get matter into your memory, is an in
tangible possession; still more is it an ina
material and imponderable acquisition to
have trained yourself to a moral habit. But
pleasant and substantial are the covered
pages; that is, if you know you have done
them to the very best of your ability. Though
not soul on earth may think them good ;
though even you keenly see their faults
there is true and sweet satisfaction in that
last thought. There is nothing on this earth
so beautiful as the smile upon the face OF
Duty! Something faithfully done is some
how inexpressibly cheering. And then,
work takes the mind off itself. The mil
must go; give it grist to grind, or it must
grind itself. One good thing about task
of writing is, that when lying awake al
night, instead of thinking over hundred
worrying and anxious thoughts, you will in
voluntarily be Eliminating your subject, and
trying to see your way farther through it
When Chalmers rose in the morning, he haC
often done all his task of writing for tha
day; and noted it in few shortened lines il
pencil.-The Country ParsOn.

Love of Money.

The New York Evangelist contains some
suggestive thoughts on the Love of Money,
from which we extract as follows:
eff the 'love Of money was ever the
root Of more evil than it has been the last
five years in America, then history has failed
to record it. The mischief is to be measured
not merely by the amount CT corruption
practised, but by the amount of character
corrupted, and by the consequences of the
corruption upon public morals. We have
had carnival Of plumber. The exposures
have sickened us unti the whole heart is
faint. To the wholesale robbery of public
treasures have been added the private specula-
tons in counting.rooms, banks, and corpora
tons. 10 these have been added briberies
of judges and probably of jurors likewise
To these has been added the most unblush
ing purchase of votes in legislative bodies
Greeny politicians have bought their seats
in these bodies, and then sold their votes to
the highest bidder. Legislatures have been
run by money-power as Lowell Mills are run
by water power. There was bitter truth
in the sarcasm of that member of a certain
legislature who moved "that if - Railroad
Company has no more business for this body
to transact, it do now adjOnrn sine die.
There was time when the elOquence Of
Clay or Webster was Influential in the
passage Of great measures. Nowadays the
pictures of Henry Gay or Daniel Webster
on greenback are more potent than any
oratory. & Ngtional Congress is gravi
tating towas same abyss of venality
and corruption which SO many Stat'
1 Legislatures I'D civic corporations have
gone under Two years ago Senator vii
son said to nae don't believe that there il
much pecupia y corruption in Congress.
The same Senator would hardly venture tt
repeat the assertion after the disgusting
revelations of the last thirty days. A ter
rible suspicion leads the air. On every hanC
we hear it whispered 'Whom can We trus
nowp For the dishonest dollars seem to b.
sticking fast to hands which were once clear
as new fallen>snow Upon some men evei
the handling OF money seems to act like IN
touch of certain poisonous vines. The toucl
is sure poison. Upon the palms Of man.
protested Christians this touch of gold is
fatal as upon the palms of the open worship
pers of Mammon.'

A Dinner Excuse.

Apologies for poor dinners are generally
out of place. But when lady has for
getful husband, who without warning, brings
home dozen guests to sit down to plain
family dinner for three or four, it is not in
human nature to keep absolute silence
What to say, and how to say it, form the
problem. Mrs. Tucker, the wife of Judge
Tucker, of Williamsburg, solved this problem
many years ago. She was the daughter or
niece Il am uncertain which, of Sir Peyton
Skipwith, and celebrated for her beauty, wit,
ease and grace of manner. Her temper and
tact were put to the proof one court-day,
when the judge brought with him the &C.
customed half score or more of lawyers, for
whom not the slightest preparation had been
made, the judge having quite forgotten to
remind his wife that it was court.day, and
she herself, strange to tell, having overlooked
the fact.
The dinner was served with elegance, and
Mrs. T. made herself very charming. Upon
rising to leave the guests to their wine she
said: gentlemen, you have dined to-day
with Judge Tucker: promise me now that
you will all dine tomorrow with me.
This was all her apology, whereupon the
gentlemen declared that such wife was be-
yond price. The judge then explained the
situation, and the next day there was a
noble banquet.
Moral: Never worry guest with apollo
gieS.

Genuine Faith.

A gentleman stood at the bottom of a
small fight of steps which led to MS cellar.
1t was quite dark at the bottom, and his lit
tie girl, Kitty, who stood at the top, could
not see him, but she heard his voice.
"Papa, are you down there?' she said.
"Yes, dear, will you come to me?'
81 am afraid, papa, it is so dark"
"Never mind the dark, am here, and if
you viii give jump, such as you often do,
win catch you.
Kitty sighed. "Papa, how do you know
you will catch me?"
because 1 say 1 will Believe me and
jump, and you will find yourself in my
arms.
She waited a moment; she thought, Papa
never says what is not true, he loves me, he
viii not let me come to harm; then she
