On Cooking Green's

Every housewife thinks she can cook
greens" 1t is the simplest of all dishes !;
and yet, in the most cases, they are not well
served, for much depends upon the manner
in which they are boiled. The water should
be soft, and a tablespoonful Of salt added to
a large sized pot Of it, which should be boil
ing hot when the greens are thrown in; aud
then it should be Kept on the boiling galIop,
but uncovered until done, which can be told
by their sinking to the bottom Of the pot,
aud they should be skinned out as quickly
as possible into colander, so that all water
will run out. Press them with small plate,
thea turn upon platter, add large piece
of butter, and cut up fine. Serve while smok-
ing hOt.-The London Gardener.

As he fits from tree 10 tree,

A story well,
While he sings for you and met
Only year,

With a chime within chime,
Bringing a tono
While all alone

How vol he tells,
How true II wolls,
As no takes his southern flight,
His song is drear,
The end Is near,
AS closes the winters night.
Only year,
Yet there's bier,
While the wreaths Of immortelles
Are denly wound
With flowers found,
Away in the wildwood dells.
o droop the pail
Over IL all
Fold closely away from sight,
o leave II lone
Without one moan,
While flowers are blooming white.
