Domestic Recipes.


Tea.-Tea is best made in an earth
en-ware tea pot, which should be kept
dry, for if allowed to remain damp at
ter use it becomes musty. The water
should always boil when the tea IS add
ed. Tea is not wholesome taken on an
empty stomach.
Bacon Dumplings. Cut Slices of cold
bacon, pepper them; roll out crust as
for apple dumplings; slice some pota
toes very thin, and put them in the
crust with the meat; close them up, and
let them boil fast for an hour; when
done take them out with ladle.
Egg Mince- Meat.-Chop eight hard
boiled eggs with double their weight of
cooked beef, very fine: add one pound
of washed and dried currants; the peel
of two large lemons minced fine; a
quarter of pound each of candle d
orange and citron cut thin; seven table
Spoonsful of sweet wine; mace, nutmeg
salt and sugar to the taste; mix all well
together and press into a jar for use.
Sponge Cake.-One cup of sugar;
three eggs; one tablespoonful of butter,
three tablespoonful of sweet milk; one
scant teaspoonful of soda and two of
cream-of-tartar; one cup of flour. This
recipe is almost never-failing. Pat the
ingredients together, beat rapidly until
thoroughly light and bake twenty-five
minutes. This is a good recipe also for
layer-cake.
Apple Pudding.-Put into pudding
pan, in alternate layers, raised dough
and pleasantly acid apples, having the
first and last layer of dough. Set it in
a warm place till it is light, and bake in
amoderate oven till done. Eat with 4
sweet sauce. The dough made for
bread will answer for this purpose, but
should be used before being well mold
ed, and the pan should be well buttered
to keep the pudding from sticking.
Venetian Fritters.-Pick, wash, and
drain three ounces of whole rice, put it
into a full pint of cold milk, and bring
it very slowly to boil; stir it often, and
let it simmer gently until quite thick
and dry: when about three parts done,
add to it two ounces ofpoWdered sugar,
and one of fresh butter, a grain of salt,
and the grated rind of half small
lemon; let it cool in the saucepan, and
when only just warm, mix with it thor
oughly three ounces Of currants, four of
apples, chopped fine; Il teaspoonful of
flour, and three large or four small
beaten eggs, drop the mixture i'll small
fritters, fry them in butter from five to
seven minutes, and let them become
quite firm on one side before they are
turned; do this with slice; drain them
as they are taken up, and sift white su
gar over them after they are dished

iistz'S Pspii.

A young pianist was giving concerts
through the provinces of Germany for
her support, and To enhance her repu-
tation she advertised herself as q pupil
of LiZst. In a little town in the interior
of Germany where she had announced
a concert, she was confounded the day
before the concert was to take place by
seeing in the list of arrivals, and at the
very hotel where the concert was to be
given, m. Liable List" Here was
dilemma, and what to do she knew
not. Her fraud would be discovered;
she would be exposed; she could never
give another concert: she was ruined.
Tremblingly she sought the presence of
the great maestro, determined to make
a oloan hroast of it, cr,a d oese horoolf
his mercy. Coming into his room with
dOwncast eyes, she kntlt at the old
mans feet, and with many tears told
her story-how she had been left an or
phan and poor, with only her one gift
of music with which to support herself;
the difficulties she had encountered
until the fraudulent use of his great
name had filled her rooms and her
purse. well, WE'LL" said the great
man, gently raising her up, ''let us see,
my child, what we can do. Perhaps it
is not SO bad as you thought. There is
a piano; let me hear one of the pieces
you expect to play to morrow evening""
Tremblingly she obeyed, the maestro
making comments and suggestions as
she played, and when she had finished
he added: Now, my child, l have given
you lesson; you are pupil Of Liszt. -
Before she could find words to express
her gratitude List asked: "Are your
programmes printed?" "No, sir,n was
the answer, mot yet" "Then say that
you will be assisted by your master, and
that the last piece on the programme
will be played by the Able Liszt.n
That concert, it may be readily be-
lieyed, was a great success.

A Great Exhibition in 1879,

England has decided to have great
show next year. 1t will be an agricul-
tural exhibition. The expense is esti-
mated at sl50,000. The lord mayor Of
London has appealed to the British
public for the support of the projected
enterprise. 1t is to be under the aus
pices of the Royal Agricultural Society.
Agriculture is declining in Great Bri-
tain, and there is some hope that the
exhibition may arrest its downward
course. The number of cattle, and the
acreage Of wheat and other crops, are
decreasing. and very nearly one half
tie United Kingdom is now dependent
for sustenance upon imported food.

A stout English gentleman, visitor
at fashionable watering place on the
west coast of Scotland, was in the habit
of conversing familiarly with charac-
ter of the place, who took a delight in
talking boastinGly of his great rela-
tions. One day as the gentleman was
seated at the door of his lodging, Don
aid came up driving fat boar. That
is one of your great relations, l suppose,
you have got with you, Donald?" said
the gentleman. NO" quietly retorted
Donald, as he surveyed the proportions
of his interlocutor; mo relation what
ever, bnt just an acquaintance, like
yourself"

Emily Geiger.

at the time General Green retreated
before Lord Rawdon from Ninety-Six,
when he had passed Broad river, lie was
eral Sumter, who was On the Wateree,
to join him, that they might attack
Rawdon, who had divided his force.
But the general could find no man in
that part OF the State who was bold
enough to undertake SO dangerous a
mission. The country to be passed
through, for many miles, was full of
lood-thirSty tories, who, on every oc-
casion that offered, imbrued their
hands in the blood of the wings. At
length Emily Geiger presented herself
to General Green, and proposed to act
us his messenger; and the general, both
surprised and delighted, closed with her
proposal. He accordingly wrote let
ter and delivered 1t, and at the same
time communicated the contents of it
verbally, to be told TO Sumter in case
of accidents. Emily was young, but as
to her person or adventures on the way,
we have no further information, except
that she was mounted on horseback,
upon a side-saddle, and on the second
day of her journey she was Intercepted
by Lord RaWdon'S scouts. Coming
from the direction of Green's army,
and not being able to tell an untruth
without blushing, Emily was suspected,
and confined to a room; and as the Off
Ger in command had the modesty not
to search her at the time, he sent for an
old tory matron as more fitting for that
purpose. Emily was not wanting in
expedient, and as soon as the door was
closed, and the hustle little subsidized,
she ate up the letter piece by piece.
After a while the matrOn arrived, and
upon searching carefully nothing was
to be found of a suspicious nature about
the prisoner, and she would disclose
nothing. Suspicion being thus allayed,
the officer commanding the scouts suf-
fered Emily to depart for where she was
bound; but she took a circuitOuS route
toavoid further detention, and soon af-
ter struck in the road to Sumter's camp,
where she arrived i'll safety. Emily
told her adventure, and delivered
Green S verbal message to Sumter, who,
in consequence Don after joined the
main army at Orangeburgh. Emily
Gei9er afterwards married Mr.. Their
witt, rich planter on the Congaree.

Good glue should contain no specks,
but be transparent and clear when held
up to the light. The best glue swells
WITHOUT melting when immersed in cold
water, and resumes its former size on
drying. Shreds or parings of vellum
and parchment make an almost color
less glue; old gloves, rabbit skins, and
the like are frequently employed in this
manufacture. The method ofsoftening
glue for use is to break it into small
pieces, soak for twelve to twenty hours
in cold water, then set it over fire, and
gradually raise Its temperature until it
is all dissolved, taking care to stir it
frequently while melting. Prepared in
this wa. it cools down into stiff jelly,
which requires only little warming to
tit it for use. Amber colored glue is
that most esteemed by cabinet makers.
Glue must not be used in freezing

lie ran 10 tIle gaze, anu tnen IL must
have been that he tainted.
When he came to himself, he saw
vaguely in the moonlight, and lying
near him, Il small, white object.
He touched it, and shuddered.
Briefly, it was a human finger, tat

caught by the great, iron gate, and
nipped off like twig by the immense
weight of the iron acting OH the edges
of the gate.
How long had they escaped? In his
fall, his watch glass was broken, and
the hands were stopped. Henever knew
how he got back to the house.
IF you please, my lady is now in her
room. Here, help" suddenly cried the
servant.
He tainted again.
He went to his library, and there he
found the key Of the grape-gates still
swinging on its nail.
"How can she be back?" he thought
II saw her take her flight"
She looked white when suddenly he
entered her room-the first time he had
done so during their married life.
Have you been from the castle, Lady
Bowden?" he asked.
No" she said, gravely.
Bythat time he knew that he had lain
insensjble during awhole hour near the
gate.
"She must have returned" he said.
"by the gate, and passed carelessly by
my quiet body. She hates Inc. But
why has she retuned?"
Next day he called upon Ilever. The
reply sent down was that Mr.. Hever
was not well, but hoped to be at the ball
in the evening.
How he watched for Boleyn Hever's
appearance.
He came, and of course gloved. No
sign of the missing finger.
Sir Chester went up to him smilingly
on the left side, and grasped his left
hand. The glove yielded.
The middle finger of the glove had
been stuffed with wool.
They were standing little apart.
Still holding the manned hand, he
said:
"You have sinned with my wife. You
fled from me last night; but Heaven
avenged me, and cleft your marked fin
ger from your wicked hand. Dare you
smile?o
Beware! l have alwas been your
one friend, and last night was more
your friend than ever"
"a hypocrite as well as monster" he
said. DO you know what l am going
to do?"
"What?"
xiii that woman here before her
guests, and like my father, make an
end to myself
And as needlessly, madman. The
woman you saw came with me to warn
your wife, out of her own experience,
to bear any cruelty you might heap upon
her rather than take flight. The poor
creature may or may not have been
guilty, Chester; but she proved her love
for you when she forced herself to sep
your wife and save her from such an
outcast life as her own has been for ma
ny years"
"Who-who was She?"
Your mother. Ah.-is there doc
tor here?"
Past earthly help, for Sir Chester
Bowden had fallen forward-deadl
But his hands were entreatingly
clasped.

Meaning of Amen.

During a religious interest at Narna.
H., says the Youths Companion, the
pastor was in the habit of holding daily
children 8 meeting, at which the boys
and girls stopped for few moments on
their way from school, In order to in
terest and instruct the children, the
pastor presented variety of topics.
One day he asked the n meaning of
Amen" No one answered.
You have often," said the clergy
man, "heard the brethren say Amen !
Amen!' while some one was praying
What did they mean? Ifany one knows
let him hold up his hand"
Up jumped a little fellow. so eager
to answer as not to wait for recogni-
ton. Il knowl' he called out. 1T
means hurry up and get through
There was an audible smile, and ma
ny of the elders, we have no doubt, felt
that the definition would be very useful
if it could be generally accepted, and
Amen used to shorten long prayers.

Birthplace Of Raphael.

The little town of Urbino, in which
he first saw the light on Good Friday,
May the 2Sth, in the year 1883, says the
Art Journal, crowns the summit of
high hill, and is celebrated as much for
its pure, healthy air, and the fine noble
physiognomy of its inhabitants, as for
the grand and romantic character of
the surrounding country. One remark
able peculiarity in the latter feature is
the view that is obtained Oh the east,
between the lofty and partly barren
hills around, of the smooth surface of
the Adriatic, several miles distant.
The impression produced by the COM
bined effect of the two grandest OBJ
jects in nature, mountains and sea,
upon the peculiarly susceptible mind
Of Raphael when child. was deep and
lasting; and proof of this we observe
in the background Of many of his land
scapes, in which he has repeatedly in
troduced these effects, on either side
chains Of mountains. parted in the dis
tance by the sea, which closes the hori-
zon. In like manner the local plfysiOg-
nomy of the people was so imprinted
on his mind, that during my visit to
Urbino, | observed many features
which seemed to be the very types of
his earlier pictures.

An Open Secret.

AnemOnei Anemone!
Who cleft your pretty leaves in three,
And grouped them round your little feet
In three again? Who left the sweet,
Faint breath of spring upon your lips,
Her flush upon your petal tips?
who brings you, on this April day
From far of Sunland, beams Of May,
And warns the shiyering baby shoots
That hide among the tender roots?
And, when the north wind came last week.
Who deftly pierced his puffy checks,
And turned the flying frost he blew
Across the hills to balmy dew?
And whof"-She shook her dainty head
or did the wind pass by?) and said
The frail AnenOne her friends
And whoE"-But there the story ends.

countenance to monopolies or selfish
schemes for greed. The Dutch once
endeavored to mOnopolize the spice
trade by confining the nutmeg tree to
the narrow limits of Bouda, and extir-

it naturally grew; but the wild pigeons
