HE WAS THE MAN

One evening last week, when the winter
blasts moaned sadly around the street
corners, and the captains of the ferry boat
wore anxious loks, seven or eight vessel.

around cheerful base.burner in saloon
near the river. After the usual amount
of growing about the weather, one Of

been an ounce Of truth about it, but the
crowd felt certain that the one ounce was
offset by twenty-four pounds of the
"awfulest kind of lying. Therefore the
the second man told a story to beat il,
and then third man beat the second.
When the fourth man started out he
said:
"Gentlemen, | have also seen tough
times. When l was sailing the schooner
Fortune, forty years ago, two Of us were
swept overheard in storm on Lake Erie,

With his chair tilted against the wall,

solemnly said:

furled his sails on this understanding
and as he set down his glass for the third

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

The following is suggested by Bottrer
for dyeing co tten pure blue. Heat A
mixture OF 49, grains Of Paris blue. I37
grains OF tartaric acid, IL fluid ounce
OF ammonia water, and 2 IL fluid ounces
Of water, and filter, after cooling. Add
20 the deep blue filtrate solution of
caustic soda, until it is decol0rized, and
after some time assumes a light yellow
tint. lmpregnate the cotton with this
solution, and pass It (best after allowing
1t 10 Gryl though warm, very dilute
solution Of sulphuric acid, and it will i'm.
mediately assume beautiful blue color,
and needs only to be washed in water.
The sulphuric acid may be so diluted that
1t has scarcely a perceptibe sour taste.
Vi course those who raise their own
pork will make their own sausage and
those who are fond of sausage meat, but
have to buy it, will find it greatly to their
advantage to purchase meat before it is
cut up, and season il for themselves.
Sausage made Of beef and pork are more
wholesome and more hearty than those
made Of pork alone. About one.foruth Of
the meat should be fat and the three
lourths be equally divided between lean
beef and pork, With a machine, which
costs only few dollars, the labor of
chopping the meat will be trifling, and
the machine will be found useful in max.
ing miEce pies, hash, and salads. For the
sausage take twelve pounds Of chopped
meat, six ounces Of salt, four ounces of
sage, one ounce black pepper, half tea.
spoonful red pepper, and teaspoonful
powdered saltpetcr; mix thoroughly, and
put IN skins or in cases of muslin, and
smoke moderately. 1t is we'll to put in
only part of the seasoning and try the
meat to see what additions il needs to
make II right. IL instead OF smoking the
sausage they be fried in hot lard, after
the manner Of cooking doughnuts, then
packed away in jars and the lard poured
of them, they will keep without spelling
until warm weather. Very good sausages
are made of hogs hearts after the follow
ing recipe: Twenty pounds hogs hearts,
ten pounds fat pork, twelve ounces salt;
six Ounces pepper, sage to taste, other
spices if you like, chop fine and put in
skins.
Those who love to grow flowers for
their own sake are, on the whole, happier
and better people than those who do not.
There are, of course, bad people who have
flowers and good people who have none !;
but we refer to the general tendencies Of
things. Anything, therefore, that will
encourage people to grow flowers is a gain

Fitting about in its maddening gee-
As the risky wind, SO hight and free
Clothingthe trees in robes of white;
Emblems OF purity-emblems Of light:
Wreathing the fl wi Ike crystal given
Decking the Angels that move in Heaven
Lovely snow, so cold and white,
Bitter is thine icy might.
Thou art dear earth's beautiful shroud,
Light as the air, dropped from the cloud.
Silently and slowly the snowAakes fall,
But chilled and cold is their icy breath;
And soon there's mantle of white DER all,
Seeming like Natures shroud of Death ,
But the Summer time will come again,
And the flowers all will bloom and grow,
And the bleat of the lamb will be the same,
And changed to rain, the snow, the snow.
