Impressions of London.

Mr.. William Winter writes to the New
York Tribune his impressions of the city
of London. He says ;-"It is not alone
in the great Abbey that the rambler in
London is impressed by the poetic anti
quity and all kinds Of historic association
always presuming that he has been reader
Of English literature, and that his reading
has sunk into his mind. Little things
equally with great ones, comminglcd in a
medley most luxuriant and most delicious,
so people the memory of such pilgrim
that all his walks will be haunted. The
London of to-day, to be sure Gas may be
seen in Macaulay's famous Third Chapter,
and in SCOTS "FOrtunes Of Nigel'') is
very little like even the London of Charles
the Second, when the great FIRE had des-
troyed eighty-ninc churches and 1900
houses, and when what is now Regent
street was rural solitude, in which sports
men sometimes shot the woodcock. Yet,
though much Of the old capitol has van
ished, and more Of it has been changed,
many remnants Of its historic past exist
and many of its streets and houses are
fraught with delightful, romantic inter.
est. Iii not forgotten that sometimes the
charm resides in the eye that secs quite as
much as ia the object that is seen. The
storied spots Of London may not be appre.
ciable to those who look upon them every
day. The cab-driyers in Kensington may
neither regard nor even notice the house il
which Thackery lived and died. The shoI
keepers Of old Bond street, may perhaps
neither care nor know that this famous
thoroughfare witnessed the death Of Law

Where natures charms seem donbly shown,

Nor dceked her walls with bcautys grace;

The report of Mr.. E. j. Dallas,

last fiscal year an aggregate
of 2,996,513 dead letters, de-
crease of 100, 292 from the number re-
ceived during the previous year. This
decrease is believed to be. owing to the
EeneraEus of envelopes ION which re-
quests to "return if not called for"
etc, are printed. The extent to which

Keeping the Boys on the Farm

In snsextended argument as to the
desirability of farmers sons sticking
to the farm, the Cincinnati Commercial
observes that there is a feature in this
matter of sons following the calling of
their fathers that is not sufficiently re-
garded.
=" The calling of the father may rise
to higher dignity when the sons
adopt the business, thoroughly learn it,
and: zealously and proudly pursue it.
Then the accumulated reputation, cap
ital and business of the parent can be
inherited and preserved by the sons.
Again, it is a law of nature that
holds good in all the animal kingdom,
that aptness for any business may be
inherited, or may be bred, as we say of
stock. The great desideratum in de-
veloping race of trotters is to insure
an aptness to trot. And this comes
not from stock that has habitually
been used for the draught, or chase, or
race course. If the dam trots and the
sire trots, we do not expect the offspring
to be running horse. .....--
"The old Spartans understood this
law of developing an aptness for a
mans of olden times developed race
of warriors onthe same principle.
"The law of heredity is 50 broad and
so powerful in its influence that it ex-
tends not only to color and form of
our race, but it extends to the tenn
permanent and even to the tastes, The
taste. though like the muscle and
reasoning faculties, may be improved
by education. Still the taste for and
aptness for any calling may be increased
from generation to generation.
a" Then. if We are to reach the high
est development as a race Of farmers,
we must expect it through the line of
descent. The son must inherit the fit
ness Of the father, and take up the call
ing and business where he left off, and
his son after him, and so on. When
this shall become the custom in our
farming families, then shall we see
greater stability in society and higher
type of civilization. :. Every parent has
the chief power to bring this work
about. The very independence of the
farmers life is to be the germ which
develops race that cannot be other
than an Independent people. Our Ma
ton is to achieve its greatness in the
development of agriculture. Its power
at home and abroad is to be established
and held through the arts of husband
ry, practiced by skillful and virtuous
race of farmers. All then that can be
done by the State or family to emo
BILE and to dignity the calling, and to
entail its blessings and influence from
father to son, will add to the stability
and grandeur of the Nation

FARMER; st " .4.y,tal spell -s
American farmers for the most part
have yet to learn the value of a covered
yard for their stock. There are many
days in the year when cattle could be
turned into such a yard, that would
otherwise be condemned on account OF
the weather to stand all day in the
stable. The roof would prevent all
waste of manure from washing, and
would make the yard so clearly and
comfortable that the animals could lie
down. In this country, where wood is
cheap and almost every man sufficiently
handy to be his own carpenter, we are
convinced that farmers have only to
see the advantages of such yards to
adopt them at once.-N. Y. Herald.
"A correspondent of the Inter- Ocean

pudding, that will bake like q custard.
She says: Take one quart of sweet

in three-fourths of teacup of Indian
meal and one level teaspoonful of salt.
Take off from the fire Immediately. as
it burns quickly, and that would spoil
the pudding. Beat one egg with one
cup of sugar; add one tablespoonful Of
molasses; stir this into one quart of cold
sweet milk; next add this to the hot
mush, and stir it real wen to beat out
the Jumps, should there be any; next
put it in your bake-pan. Crate a little

Jumps of butter on the top, just as you
put it in the soven; bake nearly three
hours. This is our Monday pudding, as
on Monday, while we are washing, we
are not using the oven for anything
else, and it is better to bake slowly.
This is good without fruit, but we like it
better with two or three handfuls of rails
ms or currants. When the pudding is
about! half done it is q good idea to take
spoon, put it in the pudding carefully,
SO as not to disturb the top (as 1 like
that nice brown), and stir the bottom
