those who have become so necessary to
my mortal happiness that 7 can scarcely
do without them? Shall | find my chill
dren there ?" l shall surely find mine
there. VIII they know me? Do they
know me now? Do their sweet little
thoughts hover above NE, and disil up
on my head, as dews come upon flowers
at night? Are my children mine or,
are they like the drops of brook, which
flows between banks until it loses itself
in river, which pours out into the
ocean ? Are they only drops, mingled
with myriad other drops, to make up
the universal sea Are my children i'm
mersed and lost in the great ocean of
human existence? Have I given them
up for ever ? Is all this discipline, all
this lore of the nursery, all this sweet
life upon the knee, all this night and
day in my bosom, as they lay sick while
they were babes-is all this gone for
ever? Is this. too, one Of the illusions
of life? Ny boys-are they mine only
as they are everybody's? Is there moth
ing Of me in them? Is there nothing
that my heart may claim in them? |
doubt not that we shall find our children
there. do not believe that the heart
has been kindled to so much fear and

HINTS TO HoRsEMEN.-A saddle put
on loosely, with a slack girth. is very
irritating to horse, and soon produces
sore back.
\ harness kept soft and pliable with
good meats foot oil, will last almost q
lifetime 1t is stronger, because more
elastic, and will not chafe off the hair.
A horse left uncovered when not in
use. will soon grow a heavier coat of
eoarser hair. This is hindranee to
rapid motion, and should be prevented
BY judieious blanketing
Your horses shoes will hold on longer
if the clinches are not weakened by the
file in finishing. Insist that the file
does not touch the end Of the nail where
turned over.
Some horses have habit of stepping
on one side of their feet, perhaps to
avoid pressure on hidden corn. That
part Of the shoe exposed to severe wear
should be protected with steel.
An over-reaching horse-one whose
hind feet are frequently hitting the for
ward shoes-should wear heavy shoes
forward and light ones behind. The
theory is. that the heavier foot will be
thrown little further ahead, at each
step, than the lighter one.

To Cook 4 TURKEY.-A lady CORES
pendent of the Mobile Register gives
the following directions
The evening before you expect to
cook turkey, kill it, clean it nicely,
salt we'll, and put it away in some good
cool place, where there are no unpleas-
ant odOrs of any kind. Next morning
take one-fcurth Of a pound Of fresh but
ter and One-f0urth of a pound of sugar ;
mix the butter and sugar well together,
and with a knife or otherwise plaster
this mixture all over the turkey while
cold; then take piece Of stout domes-
tic or Lowells and make a sack, into
which carefully place the turkey, and
sew it up, tapping every part Of the
sack so as to make it fit close and tight
to the turkey: place in cold water. heat
up, and boil for four and half hours.
The turkey will by this time be well
cooked. and in his own juices, and
will be sweet, tender, and juicy. Now,
take out Of the sack, stuff with good,
Well-prepared stufing. place in the stove
and roast or bake. Now. my word fol
1t, there Is more pleasure in eating one
turkey cooked thus than eating half {
dozen cooked the ordinary way"

thin cotton to lay over starched things

This piece must be fine, for coarse cloth

most of the fatigue of ironing comes

CnRA IN THE ROUSE.

Mr.. Ransier, of South Carolina, offered a
resolution in the House of Representatives,
on Saturday evening, expressing the hope
that the struggle for freedom on the island
of Cuba might result in the early emsnci-
patton of the slaves and the dedication OF
the entire continent to free institutions.
The resolution having been propos ed dur
ing the pressure Of business at the close Of
the session, was not acted upon BY the
House, but it was received by sympathy
which clearly indicated the earnest concur
renee of members with the purpose Of the
mover.
At this period in the Cuban revolution,
which has continued for six years, with IN
creasing success on the part of the patriots
resulting in the overthrow of slavery vher.
ever their arms have prevailed, and assuT-
ing the perpetuation of freedom through q
form of government modelled upon our own,
1t is emine9tly graceful and proper that a
member Of our national legislature. hiSnself
lately one of prescribed race, should give
expression to the universal wish Of the
people Of the United States. We feel as
sured that the needful appropriation bills,
for carrying on the machinery of govern
ment can be passed with sufficient prompt
ness for the consideration of Mr., Ransier's
resolution before the hour fixed for adjourn
ment and that such action may be taken in
regard to it as may sufficiently warn the Gov
eminent of Spain that the control of so i'm
partant portion of our continent as Cuba,
through the uncontrolled will of military
despot can no longer be tolerated by this
nation. If Congress fails to pass this reso-
luton their neglect to do so will be received
by the people with great disappointment
There is great danger that such an event
may be construed as an indifference on the
part of the Republican party towards q
cause which is considered sacred, and that
neglect to perform duty so important
will be used by the enemies of the party in
the ensuing elections to its disadvantage.
