FARM AND
Farmers' Girls.

Up in the early morning,
Just at the peep of day,
straining the milk in the dairy,
Turning the CO vs. away
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen,
Making the beds upstairs,
Washing the breakfast dishes,
busting the psrlor chairs.
Brushing the crumbs from the pantry,
Hunting for eggs at the barn,
Roasting the meat for dinner,
Spinning the stocking yarn,
Spreading the snow-white linen
Down on the bushes below,
Ransacking every meadow
Where the red Strawberries grow.
Starching their cottons for SUNDAY,
Churning the snowy cream,
Rinsing the pals and strsiner,
Down in the running stream,
Feeding the geese and poultry,
Making the puddings and pies,
Jogging the little ones cradle,
Driving away the dies.
Grace in every motion,
Music in every tone,
Beauty OF form and feature,
Thousands might covet to own.
Cheeks that rival the roses,
Teeth the whitest of pearls;
One OF the country maidens il worth
A score Of your giddy girls.

Household HELPS,

To WASH HAIR-BRUsHEs.-Do not use
soap. Dissolve a teaspoonful of SAHARA
tus in tepid water, and dip the brush
up and down in it till it is white and
clean. Place it in the warm air to dry,
with the bristles down, and it will be as
firm ass new brush. Hartshorn in tepid
water is quite as eficacious, but not
quite.as convenient.
CHICKEN BEAN-SoUP Stew a fat hen
till ready to drop to pieces. Have a
quart of beans soaked over night; in
the morning parboil them till soft in.
rain-water. Drain off and put them
with the chicken. Stew slowly half an
hour add butter and salt to suit the
taste and fill up with boiling water,
enough to suit the number that is to eat.
This will be enough for six to ten per-
sons. Try it, farmers wives.
FRIED EGGs.-The association OF eggs
with ham is of such honored antiquity,
that it would be unwise to disturb it.
Break eggs, then, one by one, into a pan
in which ham has been light and quick
ly Drowned mot dried up, and fry them
a light brown on the under side by
this time they viii have assumed a con-
sistency on the top, and must be taken
up carefully with a fish slice or skim
mer, without turning, and placed round
the edge of the dish, the ham occupy
ing the center.
To CLEAN FLOOR OnCLoTHs.-Soap
should not be used in cleaning oilcloths.
To half a pail of hot soft water add half
a cup OF. washing fluid, or a piece of sal
soda half the size of an egg with a
scrubbing-brush or broom rub lard,
putting on only sufficient water ST that
it will not run of; wipe dry with a soft
cloth ; it will look rs bright and shin
ing as when new. This is a good way
to clean common paint, as it easily re-
moves smoke, grease or dust, and
does not destroy the gloss Of var
nish. It is also useful in washing win
dows.
HoUsE-CLEANING SoAP.-The follow
ing is commended by those who have
tried it for scrubbing and cleansing
floors, washing dishes and other house
hold purposes Take two pounds of
white olive soap and shave it in thin
slices add two ounces of borax andtwo
quarts of cold water !; stir all together
in a stone or earthen jar, and let it set
upon the back of the stove until the
mass is dissolved. A very little heat is
required, as the liquid need not sim
mer. When thoroughly mixed and
cooled it becomes of the consistence ola
thick Jelly, and apiece the size of a cubic
inch will make a lather for a gallon Of
water.

nothing but endeavor by silence to create the
impression that Tilton is a m%aligner and
f~alsifier, the more general feeling among the
people is that Beecher must either confess or
prove that the statements Of his a~ssailant are
without foundation. Tilton is satisfied for
the present with what he has done. and unless
the ball is reopuned by Beecher or his friends,
will do nothing more. He still Processes his
readiness to give Beecher a copy Of the letter
from which he quoted in his recent mani
festo. if it is desired. OF its authenticity
there does not seem to be a reasonable
doubt.
