BY THE REV. DWIGHT WILLIAMS.

In memory's hall hangs the picture,
And years Of cad care are between;
1t hangs with q beautiful gliding,
And well do love it, i ween.
It stood on bleak country corner,
But boyhood's young heart made it warm;
1t glowed in the sunshine of summer;
Twas cheerful in winter and storm.
o, gay were the sports of the noontide,
When winter winds frolicked with snow
We laughed at the freaks Of the storm-king
And shouted him on, all aglow.
We dashed at his beautiful sculpture,
Regardless of all its array;
We plunged in the feathery snow-drifts,
sAnd sported the winter away.
We sat on the old-fashioned benches,
Beguiled with our pencil and slate;
We thought of the opening future,
And dreamed of our manhood's estate.
o, days of my boyhood, 1 bless ye,
While looking from LIES busy prime;
The treasures are lingering with me
gathered in hfe's early time.
o, still to that bleak country corner
Turns my heart, in WEAKNESS yet,
Where, leading my gentle young sisters,
With youthful companions I met.
l cast a fond glance DER the meadow;
The hills just behind it I see;
Away in the charm of the distance,
Old schoolhouse, blessing on thee

A GOOD PEA SOUP,

In an article on I" summer soups, Mrs.
Beecher gives the following as recipe
for most delicious pea soup: Put a
half pound Of butter into soup kettle,
over the fire, and add to it quart of
green peas. Shake them round con-
stantly for fifteen minutes to prevent
them burning. Then take out half the
peas, and set aside; then pour in two
quarts of vegetable stock, or some prefer
boiling water. Cut fine about a pint of
spinach, half a dozen green onions, a
little mint if agreeable, and head of
celery. Set the kettle where this will
stew slowly two hours, till all the
materials arereduced to jelly, then add
the pint of peas preserved, three table
spoonfuls of sweet butter rolled in -four,
two tablespoonful of salt and one of
black pepper. Let it just boil up, then
pour into a hot soup tureen, and serve
immediately

STEAK.

Beef steakshould always be cut thick
and cooked rare. Beef that is cut from
three-quarters of an inch to an inch
thick will generally be good. First salt,
-four, and pepper, if pepper is used in
cooking broiled meats. Use a double
broiler. Turn often; do not cook one
side and then the other, but cook both
sides at the same time as nearly as may
be. Do not stick knife or fork into
the meat to try it. Next to a gas-stove,
a charcoal fire is the best, for broilin g
meat. Steaks and all kinds of broiled
meats should be served on warm plates.

CORN CAKES.

sugar, one of butter, one teaspoonful of
salt, one egg, one and one-half pints
boiling water. Put all the ingredients
except the egg together, pour on the
boiling water, add the egg, and beat
thoroughly. Spread on tins and bake
half an hour in hot oven. This guam
tity will make three or four sheets. The
granulated meal takes more moisture
than the old-fashioned meal, and is much
nices; there is no bran or waste.

EVading n Fare.

The stealing of a pin is appa-
rently a slight offence. Yet it may
reveal character as clearly as the
theft of 500.
Some years ago there lived in
New York shrewd old merchant
named Aymar. He used to re-
ceive cargoes of mahogany and
logwood, which were sold at auc-
ton.
On one occasion cargo was sold
at Jersey City, and all started from
the auctioneer's store to cross the
ferry. When they were going
through the gate, Mr.. Aymar
noticed one of the largest buyers
slip through the gate without pay
ing the five cents fare. He told
the auctioneer not to take a bid
from that man.
"Why,' said the auctioneer with
an expression of surprise, 81
thought he was good"
$50 did l." answered Mr.. Aymar,
"but | have changed my mind, and
will not trust him one dollar"
A few months proved the accu-
racy of Judgment of Mr.. Aymar,
for the slippery merchant failed,
and did not pay five cents on a
dollar.
1t does not by any means follow
that business disaster will come as
n retribution to u dishonest trader;
but this is ceytain, that a man who
will steal even so triAing a sum as
would pay his fare in the horse
car or ferry boat, would cheat you
out of larger sum il he finds a
safe opportunity.

rising and falling boat was stationed
by means of her oars; one end of
the whip knotted into a bow-line
was overhauled into the boat and
slipped over the shoulders of q
man, and at a signal a dozen or
more of the Parthia's crew ran him
up and swayed him in. In this
way the eleven men were safely
landed on the deck of the steamer.
The boat then returned to the
wreck, the rest Of the crew were
dragged from her by means of the
buoys and liie-lines, and hoisted,
along with six of the Parthia's
men, out Of the boat by the yard
arm whip.
But not yet was this perilous and
nobly executed mission completed.
There was still the boat to run up
10 the davits. All the old fears
REQUIRED as she was brought along
side with Mr. Williams and two
men in her. But Jack has a mar
velously quick hand and steady
pulse. The blocks were swiftly
hooked into the boat and soon she
scared like a bird to the davits un-
der the strong running pull of q
number of men before the swell
that followed her could rise to the
height of the chain plates.
To appreciate the pathos and
pluck of an adventure Of this
kind, a man must have served as
spectator or actor in some such
scene. Words have but little yir-
tue when deeds are to be told

nobling Inspirations lie in n per-

gers between him and them.
That terrible something rises up
behind him. That terrible knife
is transferred from mouth to hand.

THEN AND NOW.

springtime's harp-strings thro' the woodl
Murmur in the brooks again;
softest symphony unfolding
In the leaves of forest glen,
Downy winds the song of wild birds
Blend with brook and sylvan lay,
Birds are mating, and we loiter
Side by side along the way,
Oft we linger to admire
Birds and brook in forest deep,
And the ivy's constant friendship
For the rocks. though rude and steep.
BY the brook that girt the forest
All, 1 still can see the place,
Where we'd peer into the dreamy
Sparkle of its upturned face
See two blushing faces nodding,
Cheek TO cheek caress as we.
And we pledged near brook and ivy
That our love should constant be.
Still the birds song iii the woodland,
And the ivy's yerdant net
Hugs the rocks, though old and messy,
And the brook is running yet,
Sad, peer into its cherished
Memory OF former years,
That two faces once reflected
Now, alas but one appears.
It's an old man, gray and feeble,
That the amber waves unfold;
And the sad stream hurries onward,
Passing by the churchyard old,
Still its waves reflect no loved one,
But tombstone white and cold
