Conservatism.

It 10 evident to our minds that what is
most needed in politics, as in every thing
else, is a wholesome and common-senso
conservatism. Radicalism, in either di-
rcction, is dangerous and always tcuds
farthcrcst from truth. There is no moro
sense in flying to extremes in politics, than
in setting ourselves in the physical world
among the glacicrs Of the frigid zones or
upon the burning deserts of .hc equator.
The temperate regions, either in the in
telccual or material universe, are the most
acceptable.
Extremists may do very we'll to hurral
by, but they are never safe to follow,
Their words generally attract and give
tho author sort of ephcmcral reputation,
but posses no other virtue. When SO are
ready to net, We seek more solid council.
Mctcorc displays dazzle aud amusc, but
calm, practical sense lights the pathway to
truth. Give us firmncss, tempered with
moderation. Such is tho conservatism
which saves the country and blcsscs man
kind.

Elcpemert Fashions,

The fashions for girls who elope
just now are very plain. Some
white drapery, a convenient window,
2 long ladder, a dark night. coach,
a minister and the house Of friend,
and the elopement is over. If the
irate father, armed with a double bar
relied coal shove! and a town consta-
bic, does not pursue, the affair is, al
though picturesque. not a success
full elopement. Ii the father Of the
bride relents within two days the
foolish couple are not happy. If
IL leaks out that the mother Of the
bride is in the secret, much of the
pleasure of the trip is spoiled. II
both the father and mother Of the
bride are in the secret Of her gong
away, and have actually left the
ladder near the window, and that
fact is found out, the elopement is
a failure. In the oIden time the
clipping bride packed all her porta
bic goods on herself and went away
heavily laden. Now, as she is
about to return in a day or two in
her lady friends dress, she goes
away quite light.

Sowing Rva IN Corn.

If farmers will SOW One-halt
bushel Of winter rye to the acre in
their corn, and pillow it in the last
time, it will not only have a tenden
Cy to choke out the weeds that start
mp afterward. but there will be no
danger Of dry muryain among cattle
from eating too freely Of dry stalks,
as the rye will remain green
through the winter, and will be eat
en- by stock in preference TO the
corn fodder. 1t makes a desirable
feed for all kinds Of stock. and aids
materially in the quality and quan-
tity of milk produced, besides prov
ing a saving Of from one o. two
tons Of hay for every acre sown;
and last. but hot least, it affords a
green crop to pillow under il the
spring, which will renew and en-
rich the land.

have never eaten potatoes cooked
/ thus do not know all the capabili-

value where potatoes are doubtful,

they will hold their shape. The

and to make a nice brown on the

Monday, baked potatoes in their

left over, they may be warmed over
by not peeling them till cold, and
then shcing.
Tuesday, peel and bake them with
roast beet.
Wednesday, prepare them in the
Kentucky style, as follows. The
potatoes are sliced thin, as for fry
ing, and allowed to remain in water
half an hour. The slices arc put in
the pudding dish. They are then
