ROAST FOwh-The German way.
Truss the fowl for roasting, stuff the
breast with veal stuiIiHg, and fill the
body with chestnuts boiled tender,
peeled and roasted; split it, and put it

more roasted chestnuts peeled, stew
them in pint of gravy, season it with
pepper and salt, and thicken it with a
piece Of butter rolled in -four; boil

added with the chicken. Before laying
on the top crust, place few small Jumps
OF butter about the top, and add water

The season when the fresde holds
paramount sway is with US. Summer,
with its tendency to dotce far niente,
has fed Autumn, with its crimson and
golden effects, its gorgeous eunsGts, and
all its Oricntaism has faded and we
are fairly launched into winter, when
we must look to the glow on the hearth,
and make up for the beauties of garden
and out.Of-door attractions by genial
associations within our homes. There
is no time Of the year more suggestive
than this; no time when the potency OF
sages, pour the sauce into the dish,
place the fowl in it, and the saussges
around the fowl; garnish with slices of
lemon.
ENGLISH MNOE MEAT.-Of scraped
beef or tongue Cooked, free from skin
and strings, weigh two pounds, four
pounds Of suit, picked and chopped;
then dry six pounds of currants, rub
them in cloth first, TO clean them;
raisins, stoned and chopped, two pounds;
three pounds of apples, the peel and
juice of two lemons, one nutmeg, quar-
ter of an ounce of cloves, ditto mace,
ditto pimento, in finest powder: put the

lily. Have citron, orange and lemon

are made in pattypans. Brandy and

THY the household arc prominent. The
great contrast between the outside world
and the inside home is apparent. Dark
ness, loneliness, restitution, or wild rev.
elry stamps the throng as they pass our
doors these nights. Those not ranking
with these, are hurrying homeward, and
are eagerly watching for the lights in
the window, the radiant fire3ide, aud
the welcome Of those who arc the mag
nets of the household. No one will dis
pute us when we state that the hearth
stone is the main attractive point Of
the room; therefore, we earnestly recon-
mend to all, in our opening chapter,
that they have an open fire to WOO their
family by its many desirable attributes
to its bright influence. The furnace is
well enough to heat halls and warm
apartments where it is inconvenient to
have an open fire; but the latter is in
dispcnsable to the cheerfulness of the
sitting room, and, we think, to the ex-
cellent ventilation of any apartment.

or the "dust and dirt from the open fire
is uncomfortable" To tie latter sIGu.
