The Importance of good cooking
as means of health and happiness
is very much moderated by many
housekeepers, especially those of
America. There must always be
enough to eat, but the quality is
considered of much less conse-
quence; provided it be wholesome
and not too much trouble to pre-
pare, the ordinary American mind
is fully satisfied. The taste of the
thrifty housekeeper runs much
more to fine display of table Inca,
silver and glass--things which de-
light the eye, but can never satisfy
a hungry man, nor promote friend
ship ana good humor. At how
many tables, even of rich Ameri-
cans, may we find this gorgeous
array of table furniture, and view
the elegant china filed with food at
which any ordinary French laborer
would turn up his nosei Among
people of moderate means the enor
nous idea prevails that delicate liv
ing is extravagant and out of the
reach of ordinary mortals, who eat
their greasy beef and watery pota
toes with the comforting reflection
that thereby they are practicing the
great virtue OF economy. This is a
terrible mistake. Those same peo-
pie are daily wasting enough mate
rial to enable any French peasant
woman to prepare delicate and
palatable repast. Economy in the
kitchen is of course impossible
where matters ale left in charge Of
some ignorant cook who can not
and would not if she could, pay the
least attention to the saving and
proper use of all the bits and ends
which under her sway find theil
way to the soap-fat man and tn,
swill-tub. Waste appears to be the
grand watchword of the ordinary
American or English kitchen, anC
it is all the more piteous to behold
when we con slider the saving anC
thrifty character of these very PEG
pie. This waste then, is purely th.
result of ignorance and inattenti or
to what is really one of the grea
Questions of social life. On this
account every new book bringing
forward new facts and new ideas in
regard to this all important subject
should be warmly welcomed ano
faithfully studied by every Ameri
can woman. "From innate coquetry
alone" says Mrs. Henderson, ''ths
French women appreciate the pow
ers of their dainty table. Cooking
is an art they cultivate. Any oil
the ham monde are proud to origi-
nate a new dish, many famous ones
doing them credit in bearing their
names" Until this is true oil
American women as well, the Amer
lean cuisine can scarcely be expected
to rise above its present mediocrity,
for, alas Mrs. Henderson's remark
is too true, that "Anerican women
seem possessed with the idea that it
is not the fashion to know how to
cook; that, as an accomplishment,
the art OF cooking is not as orna-
mental as that of needle-work or pi-
ano- playing."-Hellen S. Conant, in
Harper's Magazine for FEBRUARY.

Delicate People.

People who are generally acknowl
edged to be dedicate" manage to
get a great deal of sympathy in this
world. Yet, if you observe the
fact, you must see that it is the del
icate people who escape the most
fearful disorders, and in three cases
out of four live the longest. Those
of gigantic structure are almost al
ways reckless of their health. They
say, "Oh, there is no danger-noth-
ing ever hurts mep So they stand
in draughts, and go out in the night
air to get cold, and eat oysters at
midnight, and doff their fiannels in
April, and get their feet wet. But
delicate people are shy of peril -
they know that disease has been
fishing for them twenty years, and
kept running away with the hook.
AS rule, those people whom every
body expects to die and who are
continually supposed to lie at
deaths door, live on most tena
ciously. We know a young lady
who evidently married a wealthy
man of eighty-five years on the
ground that he was very delicate
and with reference to her one third;
but the aged invalid is so careful of
his health, and the young wife is so
careless of hers that it is now I'M
certain whether she will inherit his
storehouse of wealth or he will in
herit her wedding ring. Health and
longevity depend more upon caution
and intelligent management of ones
self than upon original physical out

Calunlny.

The rules of politeness are never
at variance with the principles oil
morality. Whatever is really impo-
lite is really immoral. We have no
right to offend people by our man
ner or conversation. We have NO
right to be influenced by gossip
about the people we meet. Theii
private affairs are none of our bust
ness. If we believe q man to be I'M
tit company for us, we must not in
vite him; but if we meet him where
he has been invited by others, we
must treat him with civility. If we
know a man or woman to be a grave
offender we cannot use that knowl-
edge to injure him or her, unless it
is absolutely needful for the protec-
ton of others. The greatest and
best men in the world have been as
sailed with calumny. The purest
and noblest do not always escape it.
We cannot investigate, as a rule !:
we must disregard all SANDERS
Where great offenses become noto
rious, the offenders must be excom-
munieated. In all other cases we
must give every one the benefit of a
doubt, apply charitable construc-
ton, hope for the best, and, consider
every one innocent until he is prov
en- guilty.

For many years we have made two
medicines suited to the ailments of vast
class of sufferers. Thousands of cures
have been made by them, and, In fact,
the word failure could not be coupled
with them. But within the last two
years counterfeits of our medicines have
sprung up, dangerous in their close i'm
itation of our Trade Mark To secure
the people we have placed upon each
genuine box of Holloway's Ointment
the fac simile of the signature of our

the utmost vigor of the law. We most

Very Useful to Every One.

In no other way can a person get
back so large profit for very little
money, as to expend it in learning ,chat
to DO, sohen to do it, and hosv to do it
In other words, to have his brains help
his hands. Here is one way to do this !:
The small saving or extra production
of less than half cent day, or cents
week, will now procure large, beau
tiful, cheap ournal, for all of 1877,
splendidly Illustrated, with over
600 fine original Engravings, and over a
Thousand Columns of the very best, plain,
practical, trustworthy information
about the every day indoor work aud
comfort of every home, in Country,
Village, and City. This information is
not prepared by mere scribblers, but by
a large force of intelligent working men
and women, who know what they write
about, and they are assisted by many
others, who furnish Information from
their own practice and observation.
such a Journal is the american Agricul-
turist, so named because started 30 years
ago as rural Journal, but since greatly
enlarged and improved to suit the daily
wants of every man, woman, and child
in City, Country, and Village-for the
Farmer and Gardener, the Merchant
and Mechanic, the Professional Man
| indeed, all classes. 1t is packed full OF
useful information that every one
ought to have. Many single hints and
suggestions will repay moro than a
whole years cost of the paper. Its
original engraved plans for buildings
and improvements, with details of cost,
ETC., and common-sense directions, are
werth more than a majority of costly
works on architecture. Great care is
exercised to have every line in the pa
per reliable. Its constant, persistent,
and full exposure of multitude OF
Humbugs, swindles, are alone worth far
more than its cost, and have saved TO its
readers and to the country millions of
dollars that would have gone into the
hands of sharpers. The Departments
for Housekeepers and Children are very
useful and entertaining. In short, the
american Agriculturist is full of good
things, and ought to be in every house
in the land. The circulation is so large
that the Publishers can supply it at lit
tie above the cost of the printing paper
or SLIGO a year, sent postpaid; or

The Broken Hearted.
By GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

About two years ago, / took up
my residence for g few weeks In a
country village in the eastern part
of New England. Soon after ms
arrival, / became acquainted with
a young lady apparently about sew
enteen years of age. She had lost
the idol of her hearts purest love,
and the shadow of deep and holy
memories were resting like the wing
of death upon her brow.
I first met her in the presence of
the mirthtul. She was, indeed, a
creature to be admired; her brow
was garlanded by the young years
sweetest flowers, and the sunny
tresses were hanging beautifully
and low upon her bosom, and she
moved through the crowd with such
floating unearthly grace, that the
bewildered gazer looked almost to
see her fade away into the air, like
the creation of a pleasant dream.
She seemed cheerful, and even gay;
yet ! saw that her gayety was but
the mockery of her feelings. She
smiled, but there was something in
her smile which told me that its
mournful beauty was but the bright
reflection of tear, and her eyelids
at times pressed heavily down, as il
.trugeling to repress the tide of ag-
ony that was bursting.up from the
hearts secret urn. She looked as
if she could have left the scene of
festivity, and gone.out beneath the
quiet stars and laid her forehead
down upon the fresh green earth,
and poured out her stricken soul,
gush after gush, till it mingled with
the eternal fountain of purity and
life.
l have lately heard that the young
lady of whom l have spoken is dead.
The close of her life was as calm as
the falling of quiet stream; gentle
as the sinking of the breeze, that
fingers for time round bed oil
withered roses, and then dies from
every sweetness.
1t cannot be that earth is mans
only abiding place. 1t cannot be
that our life is bubble cast upon
the ocean of eternity, to float mo-
ment upon its surface, and then sink
into nothingness and darkness for
ever. Else, why is it that the high
and glorious aspirations which leap
like angels from the temple of our
hearts are forever wandering abroad
unsatisfied? Why is it that the
rain bow and cloud come over US
with beauty that is not of earth, and
then pass off and leave us to muse
on their faded loneliness? Why is it
that the stars which hold their festi-
val around the midnight throne, are
set above the grasp of our limited
faculties, forever mocking us with
their unapproachable glory? And
finally, why is it that bright forms
of human beauty are presented to
the view and then taken from us,
leaving the thousand streams of af-
fections to flow back in Alpine tor
rents upon our hearts?
We were born for higher destiny
than that oil earth. There is realm
where the stars will be spread out
before Us like the islands that slum-
Der on the ocean; and where the
beautiful beings, that here pass be-
fore us like visions will stay in our
presence forever.

Living Within Ones Means.

The following, from Halls Joarna
of Health, has peculiar force just
now, when the people are beginning
to realize the truths thus plainly
told months ago. Whether "the
extravaganza or the developments
which have come, will bring about
reform remains to be seen:
If man desires to live within mis-
income, and is resoiute in his pur-
pose not to appear more than he
really is, let him be applauded
There is something fresh and invig-
Grating in such an example, and we
should honor and uphold such a
man with all the energy in oul
power. But how different to stem
the direction of culture in our best
circles where approbatiyes is nursed
and tickled into excessive growth
in childhood, and consequently
bears its fruitage of vanity, display
and supercilious obedience to con-
ventionalities in mature life. The
extravaganza of the development
may in time bring about a reform.
But just now the world is crazy
for show. There is not one, per-
haps, in a thousand, who dares fall
back on his real, simple self for
power to get through the world and
exact enjoyment as he goes along.
There is no end to the apeing, the
mimicry, the false airs and the su-
per6cial acts. 1t requires rare
courage to give up to ones enlight-
ened convictions in these day. I'm
less one consents to join in the gem
eral cheat, there is no room for him
among the great pretenders. May
we not indulge the hope that by
and by the intelligent classes viii
frown down this demoralizing, arti-
fetal, unnatural life, and rise to a
higher and purer system?

generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de.
bility he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred wheref few ofthem existed,

has shown the LIVER to have been ex-

The Rural New Yorker say
"When farmer cen so manage his
farm as to make both ends of the
year meet. even if it be with the
most rigid economy, he should be
contented with his lot. If we take
a survey of the business men of our
villages and cities we find that only
three or four in a hundred realize
a competence for old age. Then
imagine the unhappiness Of those
who, sooner or latter, fail to sup
port themselves and families re-
spectably-the cares and anxieties
that contantly produce pangs and
tortures that no farmer ever felt.
These men may apparently lead
pleasant lives, as the outside world
cannot witness the emotions of a
man who daily strains every finan-
cial nerve to meet his notes falling
due at the bank. The time between
one and three o'clock every day in
the city of New York brings more
anxiety to business men than all the
farmers in the United States realize
in lifetime.
No, farmers, your lot is not a
hard one. Your food may be plain,
and the cut of your coats
may not be as fashionable as those
of the merchants of the day; but
when you lie upon your pillows
your repose is sound and sweet
The horrors of protested notes
seldom keep you awake at night;
and in the morning, as you &c
around to feed your fiocks, and
view your crops that have visslbly
grown while 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
advice, therefore, is, be not discour-
aged. The times may now be hard
but you are promised seed time
and harvest to the eDd-and, with
hard labor and judicious manage
lnent, you come out in the end vic
torious."

Salad.

In the preparation of salads,
America is far behind other coun
tries. No French or German peas
ant can live without his salad. II
lettuce can not be obtained, a few
cold potatoes or stringbeans, with
a bit of onion or parsley, will dc
just as well. Hundreds of bits and
ends, which are thrown away by az
American housewife, could be com
pounded into a delicious salad with
suitable dressing. In our cities
the art of salad making is rapidly
advancing, and nearly every house
wife prides herself upon the compo-
sition of creamy mayonnaise; but
In the country, where lettuce and
hundreds of salad vegetables and
grasses grow in perfection, the art
of salad making is most unknown.
Many recipes for salads of fish,
meat, and green's have come down
to us In old Roman records, show
ing that the people of olden time
were not behind the present day in
their attention to the appetizing adj
dition to a meal. 1t is almost i'm
possible to give exact directions for
the mixing of savory salad. This
IS something which should never be
left to the hands of an ordinary
cook, for no dish requires so much
delicacy of PREPARATION. Every cul-
tivated man or woman should un-
derstand this subtle MYSTERY. The
salad is the aesthetic dish of the
meal, the refreshment and recreation
after the solid plates which have
satisfied the appetite, and it should
be direct offering from the hostess
to the delicate plate of her guests.
1T the salad is delicious, let no one
fear for the rest of the dinner, for
that is the direct index TO the whole
character of cuisine.-HELEN S. Co
