DOMESTIC HINTS.
Peach COhh1er

Peach CObbler.-Make rich biscuit
crust; put it rolled thick around the
dish; put in a layer of peaches, then
butter and sugar, and a very little -four,
then peaches, and so on till the dish is
full; cover with thick crust, cut a slit
in the center, and pour in boiling water
till full bake in moderate oven.
Watermelon Cake.-White part-two
cupfuls white sugar, half a cupful of
butter, half cupful sour milk, one tea
spooful soda, two of cream tartar, the
whites of eight eggs, and three cupfuls
flour. Red part-half a pound of red
sugar, half cupful butter, half cup
ful sweet milk, one teaspoonful soda, two
of cream tartar, the whites of six eggs,
and two cupfuls -four. Put half the
white part in the pan, then the red, with
few currants sprinkled in to have the
appearance of seeds, then place the re-
naming white part on top.
How to Sweep a Carpet Nicely.-Take
the outer leaves of cabbage, chop them
fine, sprinkle ON them little water.
strew them over the floor, move them
about carefully with a clean broom (if
you have no carpet sweeper), then sweep
a breadth at a time, till every part is
gone over, and you will have little or no
dust, which is so annoying, and which
settles on the pictures and ornaments
To sweep the stairs use slop jar with
little water in it Ito prevent the dust
from fiying), take whisk broom stair
by stair, and small short brush, like a
painters's brush, to dust out the corners.
then empty the dust-pan step by step
into the jar; by this means you have no
dust to settle on the walls, or fall on the
carpet below, and the troubles of horrible
sweeping days will be greatly alleviated.

Equal proportions of turpentine, lin
seed oil and vinegar well rubbed in, and
then polished with piece of channels

that has become dingy from exposure to
dust.
In cleaning paint, put to two quarts

with only enough soap to make weak

the paint and leave a fine luster almost

common table salt for oidium or grape

fungus-like substance, and last spring
he sprinkled a handful of salt about the
roots of each vine The vine grew lux

IT is a curious fact connected with
those who were for a long period absent
from their ship, the Alert, that the hair
on their faces was bleached nearly
white. The loss of color was gradual,
and although noticed, was never alluded
to, each one imagining that his COM
panions' hair was turning gray from the
effects of hardships and anxiety. 1t was
only after their return to the ship that
those possessing boards and mustaches
discovered the change of hue in their
own hair. The color gradually returned
in about three or four weeks.

Give fools their gold and knaves their power
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall;
Who sows a field or trains a flower,
Or plants tree is more than ALL
-
For he who blesses most is blest,
And God and man shall own his worth
Who tolls to leave at his bequest
An added beauty to the earth
And, soon or late, to all that sow
The time of harvest shall be given;
The flower shall bloom, the fruit shall grow,
If not on earth, at last in heaven?

GLEANINGs FROM THE MUSE
LOVE AND DEATH.

!" Now, who can take from what we have
known
We that have looked into each others eyes?
Though lowering night should blacken all the
skies,
The day is ours, and what the day has shown.
What we have seen and been, hath this not grown
Part of our very selves? We, made love-wise,
What power shall slay our steadfast memories,
And no shall take from us what is our ownF''
SO when shade of the last parting fell,
ms thought gave peace as one deep comfort
hath,
Who, thirsting, drinks cool waters from well.
But, sudden, saw that spirit without breath,
That body bodiless, that invisible
Maker Of visible woe; looked on DEATH
We know not where they tarry who have died.
The gate wherein they entered is made fast
No living mortal hath seen who passed
Hfther, from out that darkness deep and wide.
We build on faith and some less bold have cried,
Behold the butterfly 1.-THE seed that's casti'
Vain hopes that fall like flowers before the blast
What man can look on Death unterrifed?
Who love can never diel They are part
OF all that lives beneath the summer sky;
With the worlds living soul their souls are one:
Nor shall they in wide nature be undone
And lost in the general life Each separate heart
Shall live, and find its own, and never die.

TOPICS FOR THE FARM.

Cisterns for Cider.-I noticed some
time since, says correspondent of the
Country Gentleman, an inquiry as to the
feasibility of using cement vat or els
tern for holding cider. / will give my
experience: built vat in my cellar of
Rosendale cement and stone, using the
cellar wall for three sides of the vat; the
fourth side was solid stone and cement
ten inches thick, with repeated coats of
strong cement over all the inside. This
was allowed to remain two years before
using, and was as hard as cement could
be. The cider was put in, several bar
rels at time sweet from the press, until
the vat was full. Fermentation con-
tinued while ! kept adding fresh cider ;
then it seemed TO cease entirely, and the
cider very soon became fiat, acquiring a
disagreeable taste. 1t also began to set
tie away, and the wet earth at the bot
tom next the outside wall showed that
it was working through the cement. 1t
even oozed through the ten-inch wall of
solid cement and cobble stone. / re-
moved all but abouta Darrell of the cider,
putting it into wooden casks, where it
has undergone a second fermentation
and is in a fair way to make vinegar.
The cider that was left in the vat has
been growing lower and blacker all the
while. The cement on the sides that
was once hard can now be scraped off
with ease. | am satisfied that the acid
in the cider, and the lime in the cement
counterfeit each other. Each destroys
the life of the other Cement will not
hold cider, and if it did it would spoil it,
Soap Making.-A lady says in the
Western Farm Journal: The task of
soap-making may be very much light
ened by dispensing with the boiling of
soap, and | think the soap much whittier
and nicer made cold. To make it, take
three-fourths of pound of clear grease
to one gallon of I've. Heat the grease
and lye separate. Pour the grease into
the barrel, then the I've, stirring well.
Set the barrel in the sun. Stir several
times through the day. Cover at night.
The I've should be strong enough to bear
a common sized egg to the surface-not
out or above it.
The heating of the lye and grease may
be omitted, but it takes longer to make
and is not so easily stirred.
To those who live in coal-burning
regions, and who cannot get wood ashes,
| will say that have used white potash
in the same way with good success. One
year l had more grease than l could
make with what ashes ] had, and having
small quantity of strong I've when my
barrel was filled, left unused, boiled
the balance of my grease init justerengh
to eat it; then made it up with concen-
trated I've according to directions on
packages. The result was excellent soft
soap, which | afterward made into a
prime article of hard white soap, by stir
ring salt into the warm soap until the
I've and soap separated, then cutting into
blocks and drying. l had before used
the concentrated I've alone, but with a
poor, curdling soap as the result.

pIiance with the constitution Of the
United States. l claim that if I
can show that the election
law is entirely in violation
Of the election law OF the
State Of Louisiana, it is entirely
in violation of the constitution of
the United States. ] am now pro-
ceediag to treat the act Of 1872 as
though it applied to the election Of
electors. This act creates can
vassing board, to be appointed by
the Senate, and so far as anybody
knows they hold their Offices during
their natural lives. IFS vacancies
occur, they have the right to fill
them. They are a close corpora
ton, and as much more potent than
the people of that State, il this law
is constitutional, as the govern
ment of the United States is more
potent than the government Of that
State.
Mr.. Carpenter then recited the
provisions of all, and enumerated
the duties devolving upon the
Board of Cauvassers.
At this point Mr.. Carpenter
complained Of feeling unweil from
the close atmosphere of the court
room, which had some time pre-
viously been rendered very disa-
greeable by the smoke of the can
