There is hardly one Of our readers who
does not remember the old nursery rhyme Of
"old Mother Hubbard, she went to the cup
To give her poor dog bone, lhoard,
But when she got there, the cupboard was bare,
And 80 the poor dog got none
This is the way the Boston Adrcgtiscr
puts il in shape, in the most modern style: !:
The aged and venerable maternal repre-
sentative of family which descended from
an ancestral progenitor known in his time
by the patronymic appellation Of Hubbard
(perhaps from his having been one Of the
early poets or bards Of the hub, wended
her way to the small apartment ordinarily
devoted TO the storage Of crockery, and
such portions Of the family provisions as
were left unused at the prandial meal, to
obtain for the qualification Of her favorite
but emaciated specimen ofthe genus canis,
fragment Of an osseous nature once COM
posing an integral portion Of the skeleton
OF an animal (whether bovine, porcine, or
otherwise, the narrator was not able to de-
termine satisfactorily, } from which she had
reason to believe her petted qusdruped
wsuld aliment When by continuous pro-
gressive motion she had arrived at the end
of her brief journey and in fact had reach
ed the objective point, and the goal of her
desire, her fond anticipations were not
realized, and her calculations came 10
naught; for the family receptacle, before
alluded to, proved to be entirely denuded
Of everything in the way Of that sustenance
which tends to prolong life when received
within aud assimilated by the animal or.
ganism. Consequently this indignant and
long-suffering member Of the high class Of
vertebrate called mammals, but familiarly
known as abe "poor dog" failed on thi,
occasion to obtain anything to appease hi
unsatcd and voraciOus appetite, which W,
have reason to believe, had previously beer
whetted by the anticipation Of the favor
able result Of the visit Of his friend an,
protector to the usual storehonse Of hi
supplies.

CLOSING CRACKS IN CAST IRoN Stoves.
Good wood ashes are to be sifted thro'
a fne seiye, to which is to be added tho
same quantity Of clay finely pulverized,
together with little q salt. The mixture
is to be moistened with water enough to
make paste, aud the crack Of the stove
filled with it, The cement does not peel
off or break away, aud assumes an extreme
degree of hardness after heated. The
stove must be cool when the application is
made. The same substance may be used
in setting the plates of a stove, or in fitting
stove pipes, serving to render all the joints
perfectly tight.

A Boys DESCRIPTION OF CATTLE
SHow.--A cattle show and fair is where
they trot horses. They sell pools outside
the ring. 1t is wicked to play cards for
pools. Pools atthe cattle show encourage
the honest farmer, and develop that noble
animal, the horse" | read the last part
of that in the paper. The honest farmer
has a red face and wears white hat lie
smokes and swear. The best way to
develop horse is to hire tho driver on the
other side to let yours beat A driver
that can scream and scare the other horses
is bully. ffhe eau smash another fellow
wheel, and not tip over his own sulky, he
gets the first prize The place to do this
is on the home-stretch. The home-stretch
is next the Judges stand The Judges
don't stand all the time-I saw one Judge
sit down and squiut at the horses through
the bottom Of tumbler. When / grow

but don't want to be tumbler.

hops, six quarts molasses, ten eggs; put
the hops in bag and boil them fifteen
minutes in three pals of water; put in the
molasses while hot, and poor Immediately
into strong ale cask, which can be made
perfectly air tight and put in the remain

RANCID BUTrER.-a'fo pint of water
add 80 drops (about half a teaspoonfuD Of
liquor Of chloride of lime. Wash in this
two and half pounds of rancid butter.
When every particle has come in contact
with the water, let it stand an hour or
two; then wash the butter well again in
pure water The butter is then left
without any odor, and has the sweetness
of fresh batter These preparations Of
lime have nothing injurious in them"
We forthwith obtained some rancid
butter and it was bad enough for any
stomach that had more sensibility than a
wagon wheel We doctored it as per
recipe, and when placed on the table along
with good butter, very able judges could
not distinguish the new butter.
