whether a judge can thus muzzle any

Judge Cooke is attempting the

Tho fact is too many petitions are
signed. Every citizen in tho State
Is too remiss in this matter, Many
individuals ign petitions for pardoHs
merely from disinclination to wound
the feelings of tho person circulating
the petition. This thing should be
stopped. Justice is q farce. Moses
excuses his pardons on tho grounds
that every one is granted on petition.
There is great deal in this. It
should be understood that when a
criminatis' Convicted he will pay the
full penalty. Then crime would bc

Liver and Blood Diseases.

BY Il. v. PIERCE, NJ. ID.
A healthy liver secretes each dag about two
and half pounds OF bile, th.th contains
great amount of waste material taken from the
blood. When the liver becomes torpid or con
gested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of
noxious substance which, therefore remains to
poison the blood, and be conveyed to every part
OF the SYSTEM, What must be the condition of
the blood when it is receiving and retaining
each day two and half pounds Of poison
Nature tries to work of this poison through
other channels and organs tho Kidneys. lungs,
skin, etc, but these organs become oyertaxed
IN performing this labor in addition to their
natural functions, and cannot long Withstand
the pressure, but become vafiously diseased.
The brain. which IL tho great electrical CEN
ter Of all vitality. is unduy stimulated by the
mliHflthv blood which misses to II from the
heart and it fails to perform Its office health-
fully. Hence the symptoms Of bile poisoning
which are dulness, headache and incapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impairment of
memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings
gloomy forebodings, and iTritability of temper
Tie blood itself being diseased. as it forms the
sweat upon the surface OF the skin, it II 80

colored brown spots, pimpies, blotches, aud

scrofulOus tumors. The stomach, bowels, and
other organs cannot escape becoming affected.
sooner or later. and we have as the result. cos
tiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhPa.
Other symptoms are common, as bitter or bad
taste in mouth, internal heat, palptation, teas
ing cough, unsteady appetite, choking sensa-
ton in throat, bloating of stomach, pain In
sides OF about shoulders and back, GOODNESS
extremities, etc, etc Only y few of the above
symptoms are likely to be present III any case
at one time. The liver being the great depur-
ating or blood cleansing organ Of the system
set this graat " Housekeeper of our health
at work, and the foul corrdptions, which gen
der in the blood, and rot out, as ii were, the
machinery of life, are gradually expelled from
the system. For this purpose my Golden

The following story comes from Ire
land Two men had quarrel IN a
liquor shop. They adjourned outside
TO settle the dispute. The first man,
being from Connaught, Immediately
seized lump Of stone and let IT fly at
the head of his opponent, who dipped
his head and missed the stone, which
went through an expensive plate glass
window, and did much damage. A
magistrate was called upon next morn
ing to determine which Of the two
should pay the cost The evidence
clearly showed that the aim was good
one, and that il the second man had
not dipped his head he would have
been struck. "Therefore," said the
magistrate, "he must pay the damages,
as it is certain the first man didn't in.

;. 4 correspondent of an agricultural
paper writes
MY friend T. had an apple tree
which bore abundantly, but every al
ternate year. He Glanced in early
spring to lay some heavy poles on some
Of the lower limbs. This was not it's
year to hear. Tie limbs on which Tie
poles rested bloomed and bore abund-
antlv, while the other parts of the tree
had neither bloom nor apple. Did the
weight on the limbs, by checking the
circulation OF sap. and consequently
The growth OF wood, develop fruit
bearing buds? If so, may we not learn
practical lesson from this incident 2"
Tn this country we SEQ but few of
what may be called the refnements of
horticulture. Trees are the most part
planted and allowed to take their
chances. If they survive they strug-
gle for existence, and after many years
come into indifferent hearing, the fruit
is welcome. If the trees are clicked
by grass and weeds, and starved by
other crops, either the nurserymen is
blamed, or it is concluded that /" trees
Aob't do as we'll ds they used TO-. Our
correspondent has rightly accounted
for the phenomenon, but the "practi-
cal lesson" has been learned long ago,
and in one form and another has been
practiced. The pruning and training
of trees to induce fruitfulness is well
understood, but tile great trouble is
that iii our rude horticulture it does
not pay. Our people have in part
learned that in order to grow grapes
they must treat their vines properly,
and after while they will find that
trees will repay tasteful care and at
tention.

one teaspoonful Of baking powder, two
tablespoonfuls of cold water bake in
two pie-pans, split while hot, and
spread between the following custard
One-third pint sweet milk, one table
spoonful of corn starch dissolved in a

one large cupful of salt pork which has

one cup of molasses, with teaspoon
full of saleratus stirred into it. Three
fourths of cup of sweet milk; one
cup of stoned raisins or currants; one
teaspoonful each of ground cinnamon,
cloves and nutmeg. Add flour enough
to make as stiff as berry pudding.
Steam in a cloth or boil for four hours.
For sauce, take one cup of white
sugar and pour over it the same guam
tity of boiling water; when melted,
stir in two well-beaten eggs. Flavor
with vanilla or lemon.
To Cook RICE. The following is the
method recommended bv the French
Academy for cooking rice during the
siege of Paris Take one cup of rice
and one fourth of cup of water in n
saucepan, cover, and place over a good
fire after an hour the water will be
evaporated, and the rice cooked tender,
but dry, With grdirs distinct; not in
paste. Sufficient salt should be added,
in the first place, and care should be
taken not to disturb the rice while
cooking BY adding a little butter,
and allowing the rice to dry little
more over a gentle fire, mere delicate
dish is prepared. The Boston Medical
Journal says that rice cooked in this
manner, which is the same as that en-
ployed in the East Indies, bears the
same relation to the indigestible paste
of the New England kitchen as does
bread to boiled flour

No farmer should be without a straw
berry patch. Everybody loves this de-
licious fruit, and 1t is so easily cult
waited that it is rank injustice to his
family for any one having patch of
land or a garden to fail in raising
Strawberries for their participation. II
Almost any kind of land, which is dry
or is drained, will grow this fruit if
supplied with vegetable manures,
which, by the by, can be said, we be-
lieve, of almost all other kinds of small
fruits. The lighter the soil, the easier
and more economical is the cultivation;
and upon such soils the produce is
earlier and better favored, while the
heavier soils will produce later and
heavier fruit. Elevated soils are less
liable to be affected by spring frosts,
hence should be selected for the earli-
est spring fruit-the strawberry, es-
pecially the earliest sorts. South and
southeast side hills should be chosen
to produce early fruit, and north side
hills, late fruit. Thus the season may
be extended. If the ground is suf-
ficiently rich TO grow gosd potatoes or
corn, 1t will grow as comparatively
good Strawberries. If not in good or
der, manure thoroughly with any rot
ted compost. New coarse manures are
very risky, especially for light soils, for
if the spring should prove dry, the
plants dry out badly. Plough or spade
deep when the ground is in dry con
dition, for if too wet and soggy it
leaves the surface stiff and Dakey. If
convenient, scatter liberal supply Of
well rotted compost over the surface,
which not only enriches the soil, but
acts as a mulch TO keep the surface
moist and prevent it from baking
