Brain versus Brass. I


Both have . great influence in the
economy Of the present age, and it is
rather difficult to tell which is really
the more powerful. Sometimes one
predominates in an individual, sone-
times the other, and sometimes both
are wanting. Occasionally they are
found equally combined; but generally
we see very little brain and good deal
of brass, which enables the possessor to
make considerable noise in the world
on quite small capital. He unblush-
ingly sounds his name far and wide,
imagining himself to be the most wise,
talented and remarkable man of the
age; and the less brain he has the more
noise he will make.

The art of cooking Indian meal hs

The art of cooking Indian meal has
not received that attention which its
merits deserve. A baked Indian pud
ding. with little suet to soften and lu-
bricate the meal, makes a desert fit for
a Governor, and almost too good for
common folks. With milk, butter,
eggs and sugar, and lots of fruit, In
dian meal can be made to keep y fam
lily in the most thrifty condition. These
are all produced, sugar excepted, on
the farm, and on many farms we need
not make an exception. When sugar
is made from beets in this country AS
it ought to be, and soon viii be-the
farmer will be almost independent of
the grocer.

DRINKING SONG.
By miss UNLOCK.

Drink, my Jolly boys; drink and be merry;
Bonnie the bride Is, and brown as berry;
Soft are her lips, and sweet as red clover,
Drink and be merry lads, half seas over.
DRINK, my jolly boys; drink With discerning
Wedlock's a lane where there is no turning:
Never was owl more blind than lover,
Drink and be merry lads, half seas over.

JOHN AXE, of Cole creek, was in the
woods horse hunting, and had forgotten
his gun, but his bowie and his dogs were
along and he felt at home. The dogs
freed large panther in cedar tree.
Axe tried to bring his game down with
stones, but the panther refused to come
down. So the old man placed his
knife in his mouth and climbed the
tree. The panther showed his teeth /.
The old man could not get near enough
with safety to use his knife, but as the
beast sat perched his tail chung dan
Cling down." AXE seized it and the
pair fell to the ground, the old man

Miss Abbott has had no opportunity to confirm the

critics regard her future full of promise, and
wonder why Mr.. Gye should put her of. That Miss
Abbott has good voice and has been trained with

judge. She is engaged to Mr. Gye for four years at
high salary If Mr.. Gye would cancel his contract
with Miss Abbott, Mr.. MaplesOn would be glad to
secure her for Drury Lane. But Mr. Gye, say Miss
Abbotts friends, will neither release her nor bring
her before the public. They naturally ask why If he
does not think her successful he should cling to his
engagement with her, and why, if he does think her
successful. he should keep her in retirement. But
