Keeping Apples.

A report in the N. y. Times says: eve
nave tried many ways tor the safe keeping
OF apples, but find none better than to put
them into clean barrels and head them up
tightly. 50 as to exclude All the air and
light possible, and store them in cool.
dark, dry cellars The nearer apples can
be kept to the freezing point, (32 deg
Fahrenhei:,) the longer and better they
will keep. If the mercury in the cellar
sinks a few degrees below this point an
pies well headed up in the barrels will not
sutler as wood is a non nconductor of heat
and the life Of the apple aids in resisting
cold Just us the life Of the tree resists the
rigors of winter. AS the apple is the fruit
OF this country, and is 50 conducive to
health and comfort, it is worth while to
put up a few barrels with special refer
ence to next summers use. For this pur-
pose select the late keeping varieties, such
rs Newton Pippins, Roxbury Russets. or
even Northern Spys, and after the barrels
are filled shake down among them some
plaster (gypsum) till all the interstices are
filled. This keeps out the air so efl'ectually
that they are virtually canned, and come
out the next summer almost as flesh as
when picked. We have known Roxbury
Rassets to keep perfectly fresh for two
Years packed in this manner.

An UNDISGUISED FRAUD. Anxious house
wives have habit Of which they would
be well rid, and little good-natnred rid
icule may, perhaps, cure them. II is that
of depreciating every thing in their own
houses and on their own tables-particu
larly the latter-beiore visitors. This is the
way in which it is done:
Smith, wishing to invite his friend Jones
home to dinner, like a thoughtful husband
as he is, tells his wife beforehand of his
intention. Mrs Smith does her prettest,
and succeeds in getting up meal OF which
any housekeeper' might be proud. Seated
around the table, the show begins She
says: 81 hope you will be able to make
out meal" Il shall do nicely, thank
you,n says the unfortunate visitor. We say
unfortunate adyisedly, lor he is compell-
ed to listen to the running fires OF apollo
gies for every thing that he eats, and eX-
cuses for not having a greater variety,
which was enough to set an ordinary hll-
man wild, and which most eilectually
spoil his dinner. The biscuits are felic
ious in color and flaky i'll texture; the
steak is done to a turn; the pie-crust is
rich enough TO satisfy the most depravcd
American stomach, yet the good house
wife, as she gazes with satisfaction upon
her visitors consumption of them, says
81 don't suppose they are lit to eat. .Ihe
weather is SO warm that meat Will not
| keep, and | am always SO afraid OF my
breads being sour" Thus she goes on,
| While IN her secret heart she knows every
| thing is as good of its kind as it can be, is
| delighted at the result OF her labors. and
would be highly insulted did any one else
insinuate against her cooking what she
herself thus openly alleges. What frauds
some of the best of us are, to be sure.

on which both his father and grandfather
had lived and died, found himself BURDEN
ed by debt and pressed down by i'll health,
being barely able to earn a living ii the
old way on the old homestead. lie found
that he must abandon his patcrnal acres
or resort 10 new practices, and cultivate
more remuncratiye crops. lie decided to
adopt the latter course, and commenced
the cultivation OF the grape and Of the
peach Giving his son, ut the age OF
twenty m interest in the estate, they
carried on the farm, under improved cui-
ture in company The result was, in
brief, that they soon began to see ;tn I'M
provement in their financial standing, and
to gain Il reputation lor their excellent
fruit. TREY now have about SIX acres in
their vineyards, mostly Of Concord, Hart
ford and Delaware grapes, and some three
acres in peaches OF several popular yaric-
ties. Within few Years past they have

buildings materially reduced their in
debtednesS and enjoyed the product Of
their labor Instead of no income from

ward. These eight or ten acres, lppro-
priated to these fruits, in good years bring

AN ARCTIC GKAvEiAhh, Up nearly at
the head OF the bay. about three miles
from Northumberland House. are the
graves of three OF the crew Of the Ercbus
and Terror. Franklin's ships, and two Of
the North Stars crew They all stand in
a row, and are marked by simple head
boards of oak about two inches thick, on
which the names are cut, with the name
of the ship age and date Of their death.
In addition there are engraved ON two Of
them the following lines Of Holy Writ;
''Choosc We this day whom We will serve"
''Thus saith the Lord, consider Your WAYS"
Texts that seem to hide some mysterious
meaning rs sinister rs that Of the graves
themselves.
This Arctic graveyard is situated on u
gravelly slope, which rises up from the
little bay toward the foot Of II high bluff
that trowns down upon it as though re-
senting the intrusion of human dead into
this lonely world. Sad enough looked
the poor headboards as the low-sinking
sun threw its yellow rays athwart them,
casting long shadows from them over the
barren stones Of the shingly slope, silent,
sad, dreary and mourniul as everything
else in this dreary Arctic world. New
