For boiled dumplings, make paste
of pound of beef suet, chopped as
fine as possible, to two pounds of sift-
ed flour two teaspoonfuls of salt, and
wetted with as little ice-cold water
as possible. For baked dumplings the
paste should be made of flour, two
pounds, one teas p0onful of salt, one
half pound lard, wetted with very lit
tie ice-water then rolled out in a
rather thin sheet, and spread over
with one-half pound butter; then
rolled up and pieces cut off for each
dumping. You should have tender,
juicy apples pare them, take the core
out with an apple-cOrer, and fill the
cavity with granulated sugar, small
bits of lemon, and lemon juice squeezed
into it or you may fill them instead
with raspberry jam, or any sort of
marmelade yon prefer or, you can
put the apples in plain. Roll out the
paste of moderate thickness, and take
two circular pieces for each dumping,
wetting the edges with water, using a
paste brush, and pinching the edges
together with thumb and finger. Boil
each dumping separately tied in a
coarse cloth, previously dipped in boil
ing water. Tie them very tightly,
leaving only a small space for them to
swell. Have ready a pot of boiling
water; boil steadily for one hour.
Serve as soon as taken up.

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
The Farmer.

The Farmer
From the Rural New Yorker.
When farmer can so manage his
farm as to make ssboth ends of the year
meet" even it be with the most rigid
economy, he should be centented with
his lot. If we take a survey of the
business men of our villages and cit
les, we find that only three or four in
hundred realize competence for old
age. Then imaging the unhappiness of
those who, sooner or later. fail to sup
port themselves and families respecta-
bly--and cares and anxieties that con-
stantly produce pangs and fortunes that
no farmer ever felt. These men may
apparently lead pleasant lives. as the
outside world cannot witness the emo
tions of man who daily strains every
financial nerve to meet his notes fall
ing due at the bank. The time be-
tween one and three O'Clock every day,
in the city of New York, brings more
anxiety to the business men than all
farmers of the United States realize in
a lifetime.
No, farmers, your lot is not a hard
one. Your food may be plain and the
cuts of your coats may not be as fash
ionable rs those of the merchants of
the day : but when you lie upon your
pillows your repose is sound and
sweet. The horrors ofprotested notes
seldom keep you awake at night ; and
in the morning as you go around to
feed your flocks and view your crops
that have visiblygrownwhile you were
in the arms of Morpheus, you may take
more real enjoyment of life in one
hour than many city merchants and
manufacturers do in year. Our adj
vice therefore, is, be not discouraged.
The times may now be hard but you
are promised .'seed-time and harvest
to the end and, with hard labor and jul
dicious management, you come ont in
+ the end victorious.

THE HAPPY SPIRIT.


Wild the Autumn-winds are crying;
Leaves are falling, brown and sere;
Birds of passage, southwark flying,
Hush their trilling songs Of cheer :;
Flowers, of late so brightly blooming,
Now are scattered, faded dead
Insects, long so merry humming,
Have, with all their music, fled, &
Squirrels tor the barren weather
Deep a cracking stock have stored
Frugal bees have ceased to gather
Sweets TO swell their honey-hoard
All looks gloomy Fen the river,
Lately laughing, free and clear,
Now seems signing with shiver
At the frozen bondage near.
Friends who yesterday were gayly
Smiling in Lies brightest bloom,
Have to-day passed through the valley
Darkened by the dismal tomb.
Yet my spirit is not grieying,
Though the blossoms one by one
With the Summer-birds are leaving,
Though the flowers of Life have gone
Why so happy, gentle spirit ~
Why so gay, when all are sad? 80
Winters near DO you not fear it
What makes you so seeming glad!
Answers thus my spirit lightly:
Why mourn friends or blossoms dead
Hopes star still is shining brightly,
Casting cheering CLEANS ahead
Though the birds have all departed,
Though the year is on the wane,
Be not wotul or sad-hearted,-
Summer soon will come again
Flowers that late on Earth were growing,
Smiling in their fondest love,
We shall find their sweets bestowing
In the gardens laid above

A Girls Heroic Eret to Save her Compan,
ion.

A sad accident occurred near Orist~
any Falls yesterday afternoon. Little
Nettie Hicks, the bright nine-year
old daughter of Warren ID. Hicks of
0riskany Falls, lost her life on the
railroad.
Julia and Lena Hazard and Helen
and Nettie Hicks. all of Oriskany Falls
were out after beechnuts. They were
walking on the track of the Utica Clin-
ton and Binghamton Railroad, when
they came to trestle. Just before start
ing to cross the girls heard a whistle
from a coming engine. They started
nevertheless. 0ne-third of it had been
crossed. and then whirling around a
curve, the engine appeared. Engineer
Kuhn was at the valve. He whistled
for brakes, and reversed the engine,
hoping thus to SLOW the train so as to
allow the girls to get ont of the way in
safety. He shouted to the girls to
jump from the trestle into the creek
beneath. Lena Hazard and Helen
Hicks took the leap and saved them
selves. Julia Hazard. with the screech-
ing locomotive rushing toward her,
tried to save Nettie Hicks by pulling
her from the trcstle. She failed. The
little one was doomed. She herself
had narrow escape, She dropped
between the ties into the creek, the
engine striking her head and carrying
off her hat and comb as she disappeared
safely beneath. Little Nettie was
found after the train had passed with
her head severed from her body. A
portion Of one hand was cut off and
She was other wise injured. Little
Nettie was but twelve or fifteen feet
from the end of the trestle when she
was run over. The trestle here is but
three or four feet high, and the prob
ability is that the little one turned to
jump from it and tripped and fell.

A Sharp Monkey.


The Boston Journal of Chemistry re-
peats the story of a sagacious ape
which was communicated to Les Mon
des by correspondent in the Trans
vaal Republic. A species of large cyno-
cephalic ape are in the habit of ravag-
ing the coffee plantations, which, there
fore, have to be guarded. Among the
coffee-trees there grows shrub whose
fruit the apes particularly enjoy. But
a species of wasp had fastened their
nests to these shrubs, and the apes
were kept from the tempting food by
their fear of being stung. One morn
the planter heard fearful cries from
the apes and, looking through an opera
glass, beheld the following scene: A
large babboon, the leader of the band,
was throwing some young apes down
into the shrubs, that they might break
off the wasp-nests with the shock Of
their fall. TIL poor victims, stung 10y
the Infatuated insects, were crying pit
eously but tie old bsbboon paid no
heed to their miserable condition.
While they were down below, suffer
ing from the anger of the wasp, he
quietly proceeded to regale himself
with the fruit, now safely within his
reach, and occasionally threw hand
full to some females and young a little
way off.
