Apple Dumpliugs.

For boiled dumplipgs, make paste
of a pound of beef suet, chopped as,
fine as possible, to two pounds of sifted flour;
two tea-spoonfuls and wetted with as little
ice-cold water as possible. For baked Dump
lings the paste should be made of -four, two
pounds, one teaspoonful of salt, one half
pound lard, wetted with very little ice-water;
then rolled ert in rather a thin sheet and
spread over with one-half pound butter; then
rolled up and pieces cut off for each dump
ling. You should have tender, juicy apples;
pare them. take the core out with an apple
corer, and fill the cavity with granulated su-
gar, small bits of lemon, and Juice squeezed
into It,; or you may fill them instead with
raspberry jam, or any sort of marmalade you
prefer; or yon can put the apples in plain.
Roll out the paste of moderate th ickness, 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 sep
erately tied in coarse cloth, previously dipped
in boiling water. Tie them very tightly,
leaving only small space for them to swell

How do you Make Cider yvinee

This question is asked by correspondent of
the Village Record; and as it is unanswered,
we will undertake the task. The cider for
this purpose should not be made until Deem
Der, when it should be barreled and placed in
a vault or cool cellar, and lett there until Feb
ruary or early in March, when it should be
bottled, using Champagne bottles, well corked
and wired the cork should be driven down
to an eighth of an inch of the mouth, so
that the wire can grasp it.. Use good-szed
copper wire, which will require only once
passing over the cork, provided it is well Sc
cured around the neck of the bottle. Then
return the bottled cider to the cellar, laying
the bottles on their sides, and it will keep for
years. Be sure that the bottles are thorouh-
ly clean, which should be attended to just be-
fore the bottling begins. Some persons-and
it is the method of the North jersey "cham-
payne" cider makers-flter the cider before
putting away in barrels. 1t is true this re-
moves all sediment, but we cannot perceive
that il adds to the flavor or keeping qualities
of the cider.-Geymontoavn telegraph.

The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is diving in the night;
Ring ont, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
King out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here We see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and Door,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes Of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless GOODNESS of the times;
Ring out ring out my mOurnful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic SANDER and the spite:
Ring in the love of truth and right.
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out. old shapes OF foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lusr of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man, and free,
The larger heart, the kindiier hand,
Ring out The darkness OF the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
