BONNIE BESSIE.

1t was spring day, sweet and bright,
even amid the shadowy solitudes OF the
highland hills, with delicious, woodland
odors, and ftful CLEANS of sunshine, and
the tender beauty of bursting bud and
opening flower.
Though the day was drawing to close
s.Bonnie Bessie'' still fingered by the high
land spring, brooding look of pain and
regret. and half formed resolve in her
great dusky eyes. Every one called her
ssBonnie Bessie,'' from Lady Janet OF
Duddlestone castle, to Rob, the herds lad
of Black Linn. The minister himself, a
good; grave man, had given her the title,
when she first appeared at Black Linn, a
slim slip of a lass, with elf-locks and
cheeks like carnations.
AS she grew up to maidenhood, the
name chung to her. Bonnie Bessie they
all called her, and rightly enough; for of
all the highland lasses who gathered at
the little kirk Sabbath morning, not one
was half so beautiful and winning as Bes-
sis. Her young form was as slim and sup
pie. and graceful as a tall willow; her voice
was the sweetest when she sang, and the
charm of ner soft, dark eyes, and the
sweet smile of her red mouth were irresis-
| table.
/ Squire Renfrew, of the Red Pass, was
desperately in love with Bessie and sought
to make her his wife, in spite of difference
in rank. The herds at the Red Pass were
the finest and largest in the neighborhood
and the barn and storehouses were always
well filed. He was bachelor, something
over two score years old, and he wanted
Bonnie Bessie for his bride.
s'If the lass thinks she can like me-" h'
said, addressing Bessie's grandmother, a
he stood under the low, brown rafters o
the little Black Linn cottage, hot fusl
mounting to the shining crown Of his bali
head, ''if the lassie thinks she can fame
me, the bargains made. I'm ready an
willing to lead her to the kirk to-morro"
and if good, true husband, and som
gold and silver will make her happy, she,
be as happy as queen at Red Pass
Bessie listened with wide, startled eyes
burning cheeks and quivering lips.
Her grandmother, ''auld Mither Rurns'
: as the neighbors called her, looked W
with eager delight in every feature OF NJ
hard, time-worn old face. Such an Ole
was more than she had ever dared TO dreal
Of for Bessie, y It'd.

Death to Life.

She stitch there mourner,
With her dead before her eyes;
Flushed with the hues Of life is he
And quick are his replies.
Often his warm hand touches hers;
Brightly his glances fall.
And yet, in this wide world, is she
The loneliest of all.
Some mourners feel their dead return
In dreams or thoughts at even;
And well for them their best beloved
Are faithful still in heaven!
But woe to her whose best beloved 81.
Though dead, still fingers near;
SO far away when by her side,
He cannot see nor hear. =.
With heart intent, he comes, he goes,
In busy ways of life,
His gains and chances counteth he,
His hours with JOY are rife,
Careless he greets her day by day.
Nor thinks of words once said
oh, would that love could live again,
Or her heart give mp its dead?

A Smile.

:. Shafts of sunshine from the west
Paint the dusky windows red;
Darker shadows deeper rest
Underneath and overhead. !.
Darker, darker. and more wan,
In my breast the shadows fall;
Upward steals the life of man,
AS the sunshine from the wall.
From the wall into the sky.
From the roof along the splre;
All, the souls of saints that die
Are but sunbeams lifted higher.

No MATTER how industrious or econo-
mical young man is, his endeayors to
save are wasted if he has a careless wife.
he might as well be doomed to spend his
strength and life in an attempt to catch
water in a sieve. The effort would be
scarcely less certainly in vain. Habits OF
economy-the way to turn everything in
the household affairs to the best account
are among the things which every mothez
ahould teach her daughters.

FARM AND FIREsIDE.

DRIED APPLHs.-A writer in an ex-
change grows enthusiastic over dried ap-
pies and tells how they should be cooked:
latter the apples are well washed and
rinsed in at least two waters, place them
in porcelain kettle or tin pan; fill the
vessel nearly full of cold water; this, how
ever, must depend on the size of the vessel
and the quality Of the apples. Let them
very gradually come to boiling, keeping
them covered tightly. As soon as they
are boiling put in as much sugar as you
think will be required. I generally use
about teacupful to a quart of apples.
measured before being washed. Keep
tea kettle full of boiling water always ready
when you are cooking, and while the ap-
pies are stewing add boiling water from
time to- time, as it is needed. Boil them
slowly and steadily until tender, but not
until they seem to shrink up and turn
dark. If you use white or light brown
sugar and don't add spices and don't mash
the apples into an unsightly mass, and
have plenty Of juice, with sugar enough to
make it rich but not to deaden the taste
of the apple, and serve up while fresh, you
have dish good enough for anybody to
eat, and something better than half of the
canned fruit in use. The evaporated ap-
Piles are better than the dried. They should
be covered with cold water and only let
simmer ten minutes. They are not yet in
central use and are of high price. I must
not omit to mention that the juice of nice
ly stewed dried apples is a delicious bever-
age for the sick, and possesses favor
that is peculiarly refreshing and grateful,
especially where there is fever.''

To ROAST A CALLS LIvER.-Wash
thoroughly and wipe dry, cut a long, deep
hole in the side; stuff with crumbs, bacon
and onions chopped; salt and pepper to
taste; bit of butter and one egg; sew or tie
together the liver; lard it over and bake IN
the oven, basting frequently; serve with
gravy and currant jelly.

WHAT MAN can respect, much less love,
a woman who is constant burden to him,
and who knowingly deceived him at the
altar? Before women enter the marriage
state, they should be sure that their health
is such that it will stand the trials that
are to follow. Men rarely deceive in this
respect. They sometimes deceive Wo-
man in regard to their financial ability to
support her handsomely, and this is down
right wicked, for it may take girl away
from home Of comfort and luxury, to
live in garrett. Such marriages engender
bitterness and ultimate divorce or worse.

CIDER VINEGAR.-This is almost a ne
cessity in housekeeping, and is easily pre-
pared. After cider is fermented draw 1t
off into a keg, and take strips of straw pa
per, dipped into West India molasses or
maple syrup; put them into the key of CT
der and set in a warm place, near stove
or chimney, where it will not freeze, and
in few weeks you will havea sharpe, pure
vinegar. If one needs it to use in a shor-
ter time, they can fill jug with cider and
turn into each gallon of cider pint of
molasses and a cupful OF lively yeast.
Have jug full Of the liquid, let it stand
uncorked back of the cook stove, where it
will keep warm. It will commence fer
menting in twenty-four hours, and will
not take over week to make splendid
sharp vinegar. It must be drawn off into
another jug, leaving the dregs, and kept
in tight corked jug or bottles. where it
will not freeze. If one has good cider there
need be no trouble about vinegar, as it can
be made into sharp vinegar in a short
time by using a little labor and taking care
of it. Straw paper saturated with molas-
ses acts upon cider like mother, and in a
few weeks has every appearance Of that
article, only little 6rmer in consistency
and rather thicker in texture.

WHOLE WHEAT FOR FowLs.-There is
more solid nutrlment in whole wheat, as a
feed for poultry, than in any of the cereals
weight for weight. It is an excellent kind
of grain for this use, though somewhat
more expensive than many other sorts; but
too much of this hearty feed is detrimen-
tai, particularly when fed to cochins'
brahmas. etc. Fowls are very partial to
wheat. 1t helps the laying capacity of
hens; but it should not be used except
with discretion as to the quantity allowed
them daily. An excess of this raw grain
will induce looseness in the bowels very
frequently. It is easy Of digestion and
should be furnished in moderation, as
needful and most desirable variety, in con-
junction with other dry grains, such as
cracked corn, oats, barley, buckwheat,
etc. If not more than one-thlrd or one
fourth of wheat is allowed with the other
cereals mentioned, for ordinary purposes
in the laying season hens will do quite as
we'll. and they can thus be kept in better
average condition than by greater allow
ance. We have proved this by frequent
practical experiments in feeding,

The RIGHT SORT OF A MAN.-You will
find as rule that men who are favorites
with men are the best and truest in their
relations to women. Yes, the men who
like sometimes to turn their backs on all
women and go off with the other fellows
and have good boyish time on the water,
or the mountain, or in some other mans
"den.'' Women need never be afraid to
trust their happiness to those whom other
good men esteem good fellows: but II
man is avoided by men. however much
women admire him, shun him. 1t is ne
who has flirtations that come to nothing.
and has mot been very nice'' to the girls
who havesbroken their engagements with
him; who, when he marries, wrings his
wife's heart, if she has one; and spoils her
temper if she is naturally an angel. Man
ly men are the best lovers, the best hus-
bands, the best companions for women
just as womanly women are the pest
sweethearts and wives. What do we think
Of women who shun their own sex, how
ever charming men may find them? 1t is
seldom, if ever, that your mems favorite
ill-uses his wife. Perhaps it may be ex-
planned in this way: Friendship of sub
liner sort is what love becomes after q
year or so Of marriage, and he who is
friendly to the very depths of his soul en-.
tiers into this state happily and is ready
for all the delights that follow. But q
man who is capable Of nothing but fleet
ing affection which ever pursues a new
object, and cares for no woman when she
is won, hates the domestic ties and BE-
comes detestable in consequence. tits the
man who would die for his friend, and fol
whom his friend would die, who makes 9
miraculously happy wife Of the woman te
| whom he scarcely knew how to make love

CONSUMPTION .-I uySlCldLo uScu W uOlu
that fatal issue must follow the develop
ment of tubercles on the lungs. So long
as tubercular formations could be arrested,
there was hope of a patients recovery; but
when these had planted themselves in the
lungs, their growth was inevitable and IA
tai. But nature is wiser than physicians,
and teaches those who study her ways val
liable lessons. vs.l..a, . t a8
Careful dissection in recent years has
brought to light many curious facts. Fore
most among these is the certainty that
consumption, in its tubercular form, is
often cured. A series Of post-mortem ex-
aminations, in an Edinburgh hospital, dis
closed the fact that the lungs of one-third
of the patients who died after forty years
Of age, bore marks of tubercles, whose
growth had been checked, and in many
cases, the Disease wholly cured. e,a W..
Part of the lungs had even been destroy
ed, and the cavities filled by contraction
and adhesion of the walls. In some cases
fbrous tissue had completely enclosed the
parts disintegrated by. disease. If con-
sumption is durable, as these. facts seem
to indicate, scientific physicians will never
rest till they have aacert lined the most
effective methods of treatment, s2'' ~
| The Path OF SAFETY.-There is but
one road to happiness and prosperity, for
either individuals or a nation, and that Is
economy and faithful persistence in the
Legitimate path Of business. The riches
that come in an hour generally 60 in an
hour, and do more harm than good. Hence
we call upon all good people to unite in an
effort to stay the tide Of wild excess. Let
man be frowned upon in society when it
is known that he is living beyond his
means. Let al. noble and true women ex-
press their distFust at the extsavagantand
indeqent display Of the followers of fashion
And 80 shall the nation be saved from the
milestone that has dragged other republics
to destruction; so shall our young men fine
a larger and nobler devotion than that o1
money, and modesty and dignity shall moi

CURE FOR CoNsUMPTION.-Thef fol-
lowing has been tried by a gentleman,
who, it was thought, had the
consumption, and who found it to be an
excellent remedy:
Take two fresh hen eggs, dissolve shell
and all in the juice of dozen lemons, add
one pound rock candy, one pint best whis-
key or brandy. one gill best olive oil, quar-
ter pound licorioe, one drachm each of
Irish moss, slippery elm, and fax seed,
pound all but the liquids in mortar, mix
it together and strain it, and then add one
quarter of an Indian turnip. This recipe
has cured colds in their most desperate
form. If with it, woolen stockings and
thick soled shoes are worn, there is no
cause of fear from colds.
