The Original Confederate Flag.

At a recent meeting the Palmetto
Guard were made the recipients of the
first Confederate flag raised in the late
struggle; and, as this banner was identi-
fled with the career of the company, it is
doubly priced as relic of the past. The
donor, Mr.. John S. Bird, of Laurens, an
old member of the company, in letter
accompanying the flag thus tersely gives
its history: In 1860, before the passage
of the ordinance of secession by this
State, Captain Edward Mills, of the bark
Jones, belonging to the Palmetto line of
New. York packets, raised this flag at his
masthead in New York harbor, and his
vessel was mobbed, but they could not
compel him to strike his colors. On his
return a gold-headed palmetto cane was
presented to him by some of the Palmetto
Guard, and in turn he transferred them
to the custody of the flag. The secession
of the State was quickly followed by ag-
gressive military movements, and the
flag accompanied the Palmetto Guard in
their various eneampments. At the
siege of Sumter il marked their parade
ground, and was used in the truce boat
that met the United States barges. The
Palmetto Guard occupied the fort imme-
diately after the surrender of Anderson,
and this flag was the first raised on the
walls after the salute, and before f. j.
Moses, jr., had arrived at the fort. The
flag remained with the company until
they were mustered for the war, and was
then taken by me to my home, and has
since remained in my charge. Charles

BERRY CAKE.-One pint of milk, one
quart of -four, one quart of berries, one
cup of sugar, two eggs, little salt, butter
the size of an egg, one teaspoonful of
soda, or three of yeast powder.
PRESERVES. - Jams, preserves, ETC.,
can be prevented from granting by add
ing a teaspoonful of cream tartar to every
gallon of the jam or preserves.
RYE GEMS. Take ice-cold water, as
for wheat gems, and stir in good rye
meal, entirely unbolted, sitting with one
hand and stirring with the other, until
thew are of consistency much thicker
than that required for wheat. Expert
ment with a few at first, making some
thicker than Others 1.-THE last as thick as
YOU can we'll stir them), so as to be sure
to get the right consistency before max
ing them for the table. Then bake them
little more than you would wheat, and
serve warm or cold, as you prefer. We
like them warm.
GoosEBERRY JAM.-Stalk and crep as
many as you require of ripe, red, rough
gooseberries. Put them into the pre-
serving pan, and rs they warm stir and
bruise them 10 bring out the juice. Let
them boil for ten minutes. then add
sugar in the proportion Of three-quarters
of 4 pound of sugar To every pound of
fruit, and place it on the fire again. Let
it boil slowly, and continue boiling for
two hours longer, stirring it all the time
to prevent its burning. When it thickens
and is jelly-like on plate when cold, il
is done enough. Put it into pots, and
allow it to remain day or two before it
is covered.
CREAM CANDY-MoLAssEs CANDY
To every pound of sugar add one tea
spoonful Of cream tartar; put in one
half teacup Of water, and set over a slow
fire. Occasionally drop some in. cold
water; when it hardens it is done enough;

JOSEPH HARRIS, in the AmeTcdn Agri-
c,dtwit, announces his decided agree
ment with the doctrine that tillage en-
riches land, but thinks several years
may pass before any decided effect Is
produced. much depends on the char
acter of the soil. The clays receive the
greatest benefit from thorough tillage."
MANY persons are in the habit ofsleep-
ing for half an hour Immediately after
dinner. Ten minutes sleep before dinner
is worth more than an hour after. 1t
rests and refreshes and prepares the sys-
TEN for vigorous digestion. If sleep is
taken after dinner, it should be in sit
ting posture, as the horizontal position
is unfavorable to healthful digestion.
Let those who need rest and sleep during
the day take it before dinner instead of
after, and they will soon find That they
will feel better, and that their digestion
will be improved thereby.

hours Gazing upon it then, and that was

hours gazing upon it then, and that was
long after the maiden began to count.
"Perhaps you think it was very silly
task for the maiden to undertake; but
she managed to be very useful in the
world, Notwithstanding that she kept on
counting aloud, steadily, through all the
hours of the day and night. She made
the dark old castle seem cheerful,
lively place, and it seemed to do the
people good lust to look at it as they
went by.
/ ."Well, the maiden counted on and on,
and the years went by, and the people to
whom her face had been familiar dropped
away one after another, and the little
children grew up to men and women,
aud by-and-by she became very old,
although she held her good looks won
derfully, and people even said that she
grew handsomer as she grew older.
q am not going to Tell you, Floy,
how many years it took her to count five
billions but she had achieved that when
| first saw her cheerful face looking from
an upper window of her castle, under the
tower.
ct soon learned to love her very
much. She was very intimately assocl-
ated with grandma at that time, and Is
until this day. l think there is good
prospect of her living to finish her sixth
billion.
"And now shall not tell you another
story until you tell me who the old lady
is. You may ask grandma to help you
find out, and l will tell you that you
have seen the ancient maiden yourself;
and that sometimes when you sleep at
grandma's, if you lean out of bed and
listen, you will hear her counting cheer
fully on in the dark. / have sometimes
thought that her voice is strongest in the
night"
No symptom of interest or approval
came from the lounge where Floy lay,
and when Nan stopped talking she heard
faint snore. So she concluded that
this riddle story was not so intere sting as
"Jack and the Bean-Stalk," or "The Rat
That Sat in the Oven," which she is often
obliged to tell over three times apiece in
one evening.
Now, how many of my youthful read,
ers can tell who this ancient maiden is
who keeps counting on forever? 1t is a
nice riddle Youths Companion.

How Valuable Remittance Was Found
After Six Months Search.

The Paterson (N. j. Press says: On
February last letter, containing
checks, etc, to the amount of $4,000,
was mailed from the First National
Bank at the Paterson Post Office to the
Importers and Traders National Bank
of New York, the New York agent of the
bank here. The New York bank failed
TO receive the letter, and, of course,
there was muck anxiety about il on the
part of the officers of the First National
Bank Search was made in the Paterson
and New York Post Offices, rs well rs in
both the banks, the search extending
over days, but no trace of the missing
package could be found. Now strong
apprehcnsions of mail robbery were en-
tertained and the Government officials
were impressed with the idea. The First
National Bank meanwhile proceeded to
make the best arrangement 1t could for
avoiding loss. An extensive cores
pondcncc-the package containing thirty
accounts of sundry partics-was neces-
sary, and indemnity bonds had TO be
prepared and given 10y the bank to all
these parties. Finally all was provided
for except about 5000 of pension checks
of the United States Government, it
taking much longer to arrange the
matter-through the dilatory process of
the crcumlocution oilice-than it did
the private ones. On July 6-exactly
six months to Il day from the time the
letter was lost--the clerks in the Post
Office in this city had occasion to poke
under their stamping table for something
that had dropped on the floor. and there
snugly lying in small crack between
the bottom of the table and the floor
was the missing letter, with its $4,000
intact. 1t was the only letter ever lost
at this Office, and it iSa little remarkable
that it should have been so valuable a
one, and should have caused such extra
ordinary trouble and anxiety.

A CURIOUS indication of the fact that
the country has seen hard times the past
year or two is testified to by paper
makers, who say that the rags sold them
of late have been more ragged than
formerly. 1t seems that people have
been wearing their clothes threadbare,
and there must be good time coming.
consequently, for the dry-gOods and
clothing trades.

A Pretty Pet.

A Paris correspondent writes: Last
season the lioness in Bidel's menagcrie
gave birth to three cubs, two OF which
soon died, and the third, which was
healthy and promised to live, had its
back broken by some accident. NJ. Bidel
presented the poor little animal to one of
his employees, who resides in one of the
suburbs of Paris. This man had Il
daughter who took the little creature in
charge, fed it, watched over it, and
tended it, and it is now fine large lion,
devotedly attached to its benefactress,
and following her about the house and
garden like Il dog. / am promised a
sight some day of this novel, and,
methinks. rather dangerous pet.

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.


The Two Squirrels.
There were two squirrels
That lived in wood
The one was naughty,
The other was good.
The naughty ones name was Dandy Jim,
His mother was very fond of him
The good ones name was Johnny Black,
He had beautiful fur upon his back,
And he never went near the railroad track.
But Dandy Jim,
Alas for him
Heran away,
One summer day,
Over the hills and far away;
And his mother sought for him far and near,
But never a word of Jim could she hear;
Fer crossing the track,
The railroad cars ran over him,
And that was the end OF Dandy Jim.
But Johnny Black,
He always came back,
Whenever he went from home away,
He knew that at home was the place TO stay.
He minded his mother where'er he might be,
He thought that his mother knew better than he
