How YANKEES Cook BEANs.-A writer
OF the New York Wortd says this is the
way the down. east lumbermen cook
them, who eat them twice day for
four or FIVE months each year: Take
one quart of beans; first soak, if pea
beans, until they are swelled full, it
takes over night certain; if yellow eyes,
parboil until the skins crack open when
blown on with the breath; drain off the
water, put about two-thirds of the beans
in the pot; put in about one and one
half pounds of salt fat pork, then the
remainder of the beans, bake not less
than twelve hours, first covering the
beans with hot water. These are gen.
uine Yankee pork and beans. The
way they are cooked in the woods is
this: A hole is ding at the foot of the
fire, filed around with hot Goals and
covered with hot ashes, where it remains
from 8 o'clock P. M, until breakfast the
following morning-about IA or Is
hours. There are probably more beans
eaten in Maine than in the whole State
OF New York.

d ga beautiful ornament for the sit
ting room can be made by covering q
common glass tumbler with moss, the
latter fastened in place by sewing cot
ton wound around. Then glue dried
moss upon saucer, into which set the
tumbler filling it and the remaining
space in the saucer with loose earth from
the woods. Plant the former with a
variety of ferns, and the latter with
violets. On the edge of the glass also
plant some of that nameless little ever
green vine, which bears scarlet berries,
and whose dark, glossy, ivy-like foliage
will trail over the fresh blue and white
of the violets with beautiful effect.
Another good plan is to fill rather
deep plate with some of the nameless
but beautiful silvery and light green
and the delicate pink MOSES. which are
met with in profusion in all the swamps
and marshes. This can be kept fresh
and beautiful as long as it is not neg
lected to water it profusely once day.
1t must, of course, be placed in the
shade, or the moss will blaneh and die.
In the center of this o clump of large
azure violets should be placed, adding
some curious lichens and pretty fungus
growth from the bark of forest trees,
and few cones, shells and pebbles.

oLrrENEss.-The rules of politeness
are never at variance with the rules OF
morality. Whatever is really impolite
is really immoral. We have no right
to deal with or be influenced by gossips
about the people we meet Their pri-
vate affairs are none OF our business.
If we believe man to be unfit COM
pany for us, we must not invite him;
but If we meet him where he has been
invited by others, we must treat him
with civility. If We know man or
woman to be grave offender, we can
not use that knowledge to injure him
or her unless it be absolutely needed
for the protection of others. The great
est and best men in the world have
been assailed with calumny. The pur-
est and noblest do not escape it. We
cannot investigate-as rule we must
disregard SANDER. In all cases we
must give every one the benefit OF a
doubt; apply charitable constructions,
hope for the best and consider every
one innocent until he is proven guilty.

HNw TO KEEP MEAT Fresh A LONG
TmE.-Thers is no good reason why
farmers and their families should eat so
much salt pork, leaving all the fresh
meat to the inhabitants of cities and
villages, when the following method
will keep meat fresh for weeks, even
in the warmest weather. know for
have tried it more than ten years: As
soon as the animal heat is out of the
meat, slice it up ready for cooking.
Prepare large jar by scalding well
with hot water and salt. Mix salt and
pulyerized saltpetre in the proportion
of one tablespoonful of saltpetre to
one tsacupful of salt. Cover the bot
tom OF the jar with sprinkle of salt
and pepper. Put down laying OF
meat, sprinkle with salt and pepper the
same as if Just going to the table, and
continue in this manner until the jar is
full. Fold cloth or towel and wet it
in strong salt water, in which little of
the saltpetre is dissolved. Press the
cloth closely over the meat and set in a
cool place. Be sure and press the
cloth on slightly as each layer is re-
moved, and your meat will keep TO,
months. 1t is a good plan to let the
meat lie over night after it is sliced be.
fore packing. Then drain off all the
blood that oozes from it. 1t will be
necessary to change the cloth occasion
ally, or take it off and wash it-frst il
cold water-then scald in salt and wa
ter as at first. In this way farmers car
have fresh meat the year round. I have
kept beef that was killed the 18th o.
February till the 2lst of June. Ther

Pm CRgsT.--The most healthy pie
crust Is made of thin, sweet cream and
-four, with q little salt. Don't knead
thin. Bake in quick oven. Another
way ia sift quart or two OF -four in the
pan. Stir in the center little salt and
half a teaspoonful of soda well pulyer-
lied. Now put in the hole cup of soft
mot liquid) lard, or butter and lard
mixed, stir it thoroughly with the -four;
next add two scant cups of good sour
milk or buttermilk. Stir all quickly
with -four, in such way that yon need
hardly touch it with your hands till you
can roll Il out. Bake quick. This will
make three or four pies.

How TO KEEP SITuATIoN.-Be ready
to throw in an odd half-hour or an
hours time when it will be an accom-
mediation, and don't seem to make q
merit of it. Do it heartily. Though
not word be said, your employer will
make a note of it. Make yourself in
dispensable to him and he will lose
many of the opposite kind before he
will part with you. Those young men
who watch the clock to see the very
second or fraction of time their working
hour is up--who leave no matter what
state the work may be in, at precisely
the instant-who calculate the exact
amount they can slight their work and
yet not get reproved-who are lavish
of their employers goods-will always
be the first to receive the notice, when
times are dull, that their services are no
longer required.

ScRAMBLED EGes.-Haye spider hot

very little salt, with butter the size of a

taiAespoonsful of rich cream. When
the eggs begin to whiten, stir carefully
from tho bottom, until cooked to suit.
The yelks and whites should be sep

ly to the Appropriation bills Gen. Butler un-
dertook to get up the bill to protect elections,
&c. commonly known as the Force bill. y
The Democrats, under the lead of Mr.. Ran
dali, again resorted to fllibustering, and not
wthstanding the new rule y maDTuvred so
skfully in parliamentary practice as to prevent
action on The bill, the House remaining in ses-
sion.
The 6llibustering around the new rule was
successful, mainly in consequence Of the assis-
lance given by some fourteen Republicans, who
would al intervals, rfuse to vote, and thus
shew no quorum, aud uccessltatc call of the
House.
The routine was this: Mr. Randall, on max
ing point of order, and having it decided
against him by the Speaker would appeal A; a
call for the yeas and nays. Some other men,
Der would then move to lay the appeal on the
table call for the yeas and nays. Then Mr.
Randall would move to reconsider that vote a
call for the yeas and nays; these yeas and nays
occupying about three hours. GA the last one,
the Democrats and some the Republicans de-
clined to vote, no quorum would be shown !;
then there would be call Of the House. Alb
sentees would be sent for and excuses, purpose
