HELEN HUNT.


Dear Lord, OF all the words Of Thine
Which for our comfort ring and shine
Through sacred air, on sacred page,
From sacred lips in every age,
No one has brought such blessed eneer.
To memo one is half so dear.
No one so surely cometh home
To every soul, as this which from
A pure heart wrung with sorrow came
" For He remembereth our fame.
Not merely that He can forgive,
And for His loves sake bid us 1--we
When we in trespasses and sins
Are dead but that our weakness WINS
From Him such pity as alone
To fathers yearning hearts Is known,
Such pity that He even calls
Us sons. and In our lowest falls
Sees never utter hopeless shame,
a. For He remernbereth our fame.
Dear Lord. to Thee, thousand years
Are as a day; with contrite tears
one pray pray! NV little lie
Its good, its i'll, its grief, its Strife
oh, let IL in thy holy sight,
Like empty watches OF night,
FORGOTTEN ba! And of my name.
Dear Lord, who knowest all our frame,
Let there remain no memory
save OF the thing longed to be!

to say. There was not much doing. and the
market is very heavy in the great staples
that absorb the active capital OF the country.
The dry goods trade is picking mp, and show
ing a reasonable strength, but anticipations
are net brilliant for an inflated business.
There is but little of moment to note in gro
ceries. The only change of Importance noted
is an advance in coffees Of about 1c per
pound East. The market here is quite firm,
but transactions are limited. A better de-
mand during the present week is anticipated,
as stocks throughout the country are light.

EARLY PoTAToxs.-Dr. Hexamer, in the
New York Tribune, gives instructions how
TO start early potatoes that are in order Just
now. 1t is about time. He says: BY start
ing the sets previous to planting them out
marketable potatoes can be grown from two
to three weeks earlier than is possible in
common field culture. To accomplish this
take wooden boxes of any size, about three
inches deep, cover the bottom about one inch
with fine sandy soil, and lay the sets on the
same close together, so that they touch each
other without crowding. Sets of single eyes
are preferable for forcing, and as the seed is
of comparatively little value only good
strong eyes should he used, with as much of
the substance of the potato attached to them
as possible. The boxes are then filled up
with soil and left in moderately warm
place for few days. Gradually the tenn
persture should be increased, but great care
has TO be taken to prevent the young plants
from being forced to rapidly. Whenever the
shoots appear pale and spindling the tenn
persture has been placed too high. Sprouts
which have once been enfeebled, by over
forcing, will rarely recover entirely and
cannot produce good mills OF potatoes. The
place for forcing should have as much light
as possible and the soil in the boxes has to
be moistened With water of the same tenn
persture as the room, whenever it becomes
dry, without keeping 1t wet all the time. In
about three weeks the sprouts are large
enough for transplsnting to the field.
CoRNED BEEF.-A good recipe is this from
Moore's Rural: Put the beef. when killed
and dressed, in a weak brine and let it re-
main therein week or ten days, to soak all
the blood out of it. Then for eaci, 100
pounds of meat prepare a brine by uAing
nine pounds of salt. two pounds of suga r,
two ounces of. saltpetre, two ounces o.
black pepper and six gallons of water. Boil /
and skim this and pour it hot upon the meat |
after it is packed in the barrel. In spring
draw the brine from the barrel by tapping it |
at the rase, scald and skim it again, add |
little salt cnd pour 1t on the meat again
while hot. IL at any time the brine should
begin to smell bad, 1t should be drawn of,
scalded and ski.umed and returned while
