A LOVE SONG.

o lassie, wilt thou gang with me
Adown the meadows green!
The pretty thrush sings merrily
The lilac leaves between;
The oN-eyed daisy noddeth low
Among the grasses wet;
The soft wind sigheth sweet and slow
Although thy locks of jet.
And wherefore should gang with thee
Adown the meadows green.
Fen though thy thrush sing merrily
The lilac-leayes between!
Low pods the modest daisy-fower,
The soft wind bloweth free,
But, at this early matin hour,
Why should gang with thee'
.t".. S1~.s~.. ,-.~,, o.. ..,...
The ivy swingeth on the vail,
With sunlight glints between
q lassie, thou so fair and tail,
Come down the meadows green.
And by yon brook grow violets blue,
Like unto thy sweet eyes,
o come and hear my love so true
The love that never dies
Yea, laddie, an that be the why,
fain would gang along
For true, true love doth never die,
But yearly waxeth strong.
o winds, and fow'rs. and ivy-vine,
How sweet ye be to-day
0 yellow sun, how bright you shine!
Come, laddie let's away

tiers.
FRIED SQUAsH.-A delicious dish can
be made of the summer crook-necked
squash simply by frying them in but
ter. Slice them as you would cucum-
bers, dip in flour, fry to a brown, and
imagine that you are eating fried oys-
tiers.
LEMON PUDDING-Put in basin one
quarter pound of flour, same of sugar..
same Of bread-crumbs and chopped
suet, the juice ofone good-sized lemon,
and the peel grated, two eggs, and
enough milk t. make it the consist.
ency of porridge; boil in basin for
one hour. Serve with or without
sauce.
SPONGE GINGERBREAD.-Take one cup
OF sugar, one cup Of sour milk, one
small teaspoonful of soda, one cup of
mola' ses, four eggs, the white and yolks
beaten separately, one cup of butter,
one tablespoonful Of ginger, one cup
OF ralsins, four cups OF -four In place
of sour milk and soda, you may use
sweet milk and baking powder.
Picked LIMEs.-Make brine strong
enough 70 float an egg; stick your lines
on two sides with silver fork; then
put them in the brine with weight on
the lines to keep them well under the
brine; let them stand in warm place
for a week; they are then fit to eat.
You can add some red peppers to the
brine.
FRIED EGG-PLANT.-Pare your egg.
plant; cut in slices a third of an lncn
thick, and lay them in strong cold salt
and water for three hours, putting a
plate and weight on them under the
water; wipe each slice; dip in egg
beaten with tablespoonful of cold
water and fine cracker-crumbs; fry in
boiling drippings of half lard and but
ter.
STEwED CoRN.-Scald the corn Just
enough to harden; slice off the ear so
as to divide the kernel three or four
times; scrape the chits (the sweetest
part) from the cobb, add sweet milk,
little water, little butter and salt;
simmer ten minutes; beat one egg and
add, stirring in evenly just before tax
ing off the fire. A very little sugar i'm
proves it for the taste of most people.
COOKING ONIoNs.-It is good plan
to boil onions in milk and water; it d.
the strong taste of that vege.
table. 1t is an excellent way of serving
up onions to chop them after they are
boiled, and put them in stewpan with
a little milk, butter, salt and pepper,
and let them stew about fifteen min
utes. This gives them fine flavor,
and they can be served up very hot.
HOMEMADE CRACKERS. -These are
more wholesome for children than
cookies, and the novelty of having
them made at home goes good way
toward making them eatable. Take
three-fourths of q cup of butter or lard,
one pint Of sour milk, three teaspoon
fuls OF baking powder. Stir ali except
the milk in with the -four, and when
thoroughly mixed put the milk in. Be
careful not to knead them too much,
as there is danger of their being tough;
roll thin and bake in quick oven.

A Russian Drink.
From the Progress.

Koosmos, or ''kumyss," the Russian
drink, which has been furnished the
President, is made of milk, sugar and
yeast. In Russia mares milk is used,
but here they take that of the COW. 1t
IS put up in bottles with patent stop
pers, and so highly etfervescent is it,
that the only way to open bottle with
out losing the greater quantity of its
contents, is to turn it head downward
in q pitcher, close the top of the pitcher
with a cloth, and then, inserting the
hand, remove the clasp from the cork
as gently as possible. It's nutritive
value is very great, and it is not now
widely known on account OF its ex-
pense, as generally sold. After the
sugar and veast-an ounce of sugar
and piece of compressed yeast about
the size of a pea to each quart of milk
has been added, the fluid is allowed
to stand in the bottles uncorked THE
bottles not quite fully until fermenta-
ton has taken place, which will be the
case in eighteen to twenty-four hours
under favorable conditions. The bot
ties are then corked and placed in
cool place for week or two, when the
product is ready. The fermentation
develops small quantity of alcohol,
but the popularity Of the new milk is
that the casein, instead of being coag-
ulated in large Jumps, more or less
difficult to digest, is separated in very
finely divided condition, so that it can
be readily assimilated by the weakest
stomach. 49,,

RrailnuRh,s BraYado.

The attempt OF BRADLAUGH to force
an entrance into the House OF Com
mons and the scenes, demonstrations
and popular uproar that accompanied
it will form page in English Parlia-
mentary history which the historian Of
the future will hardly care to write
There is scarcely any point OF view from
which it can be regarded that does not
carry with it feelings OF humiliation and
shame, not only Tor Englishmen, but for
all who value Parliamentary honor,
dignity and precedent. The. whole
thing was disgraceiul in every way. No
right thinking person can, OF course,
sympathize with BRADLAUGH. lie
is the representative of all that is de.
testable in. British politics. The Tact
that he was able to lead mob up to the
very doors of Parliament and forcihly
endeayor to take his seat shows that he
is allowed to enjoy too much OF the
freedom of which he claims he is de-
prived. 1t is really lamentable that
a despicable creature OF this
kind should have it. in his power,
that circumstances and events
should so shape themselves as TO
enable a demagogue like him to bring
discredit upon one OF the highest legis.
lative assemblies in the world. 1t he
were q sincere, earnest man, the case
would be different. But he is neither
the one nor the other. ALL he cares for
is notoriety, and he is not particular
how it comes to him. The House OF
Commons had the clear, indisputable
right to exclude him; for it is the first
article in the constitution OF every
Parliamentary body that it shall
have the power to pass upon
the qualifications OF its own
members. The vote OF Congressional
district cannot make a man member
of the House of Representatives at
Washington if the House says lie is not
worthy or competent to hold seat in it.
The House OF Commons served notice
upon Bradlaugh that he was not emit.
tied to its membership, and from its de-
Cision there Is no appeal except the APP
peal to the mob, which Bradlaugh made
with such ignominious results to him
self. Bradlaughism, as it was illustrated
in london yesterday, means the end Of
all government.-N \. Herald.

AMONG the various opinions as to the
effect of the Presidents injury upon the
political situation, the following from
ex- Governor SEYMOUR is entitled to
weight:
do not think that the attack on the
President has made any change in polit-
ical feelings, except, perhaps, to soften
them. IL has without doubt made with
Democrats n ore Kindly feeling toward
the President. What the future may be
no one can !OrSeP. Ii, in case OF his res
toration TO health, President Garfield
should show strong partisan feeling it
would make a reaction against him.
Extreme partisanship would be felt to
I've an ungrateiul return for the interest
shown by all parties and al sec
tions in MS recovery. l do not
think that the question OF adj
mlnistratiye arrangement has occupied
much of the public mind, nor 10 think
that il has brought out any well worked
plan for guarding against this danger to
the public from the attempts to murder
officials. The perils which surround
high positions msy tend to check ambl-
ton to hold them, and to sober the pas
sion for place and power. 1t is hard to
forsee the effects OF the Albany contest
upon the action OF parties. These are so
frequently modified by casual events
that il is difficult to forecast the effect
OF any particular action. 1t has eneour-
aged the Democratic party, because it
las not been drawn into the contest or
made responsible for any OF the acts OF
the Legislature that have offended. l
So not think that there are any indica-
TORS of any great modification in politi-
cal parties.

TEX DEMAND FOR SMALL
HOUSES,

We believe there Ia considerable de.
mand in Wheeling, as in. other cities,
for small houses, suitable for young mar.
ried people, or married couple with q
small fsmily. -
The demand for this style of house Is
alwaysin excess OF the supply, and con-
stitutes one Of the chief drawbacks to
many cities, as We believe 1t does TO
this.
BY small houses, we do not intend TO
imply cheap houses only, but houses
where space and appointments are
adapted to small families requiring no
extraordinary outlay in furniture for ST.
peIfluous room, and no useless expense
OF labor in kee ping clean.
There are two important advantage S
to be derived to a city from good sup.
ply of such houses. They very greatly
favor an increase OF population. Per-
sons seeking a residence among Us vii
be encouraged by finding houses snita-
bic in size and in rent charges to their
circumstances.
There is likewise O good deal OF truth
in the frequent remark that the town
which has the greatest number OF cheap,
modest and available cottages has the
greatest number of marriages. 1t is
one OF the standing drawbacks to matri-
mouy on the part of respectable young
people OF moderate means that it Is al
most impossible to find a house where
they can set up q home to their likir g
and in accordance with their circum-
stances.
GEORGE w. CHILDs, Of Philadelphia,
has recently undertaken village en-
terprise near that city which is full OF
promise for young married people. He
will build little town OF modest cot
tages of reasonable rent and will take
pains to select his tenants and make the
village an agreeable and healthful place
OF residence for respectable people oil
moderate means. A similar enterprise
has BEEN undertaken near Boston, and
any city would profit by like under
taxing. We want to make matrimOny
more possible than it is, and any move
ment which will further the establish
ment of good homes is deserving the at
tention OF philanthropists and capital
lists alike.
A gentleman who has been looking FOL
a residence in this city recently, remark
I'd that he found it quite discouragint
to obtain house either for sale or rem
that is at all desirable. There is an op
portunity, we think, for capitalists Il
make good investments in the construc
ton of small houses either within the
city limits or on the suburbs.

UNsCRUPULoUs MIsREPRESEN'
TAP1ON.

An obscure and INSCRIPTIONS paper,
published at the town of st. Marys,
West Virginia, and one which seems to
consider IL the legitimate and only pro-
vince of newspaper to misrepresent
and traduce everybody and everything
which comes within its range, has taken
occasion to charge the public printer
with having imposed upon the officials
of that county by agreeing to furnish
them with 100 copies of the road law in
pamphlet form, of - pages each for
Sl5," but instead OF SO doing, this paper
saws, the matter furnished contained
"onlv Is pages, and was in sheet form,
folded and cut, but not in pamphle,
form"
The only difference between the rel
RESERVATIONS made by the paper and the
TACT j., ,ha. the officials cf that county
made no contract with or order upon the
public printer Of any kind, but an order
was received hy LEWIS BAKER Il Co. for
IOD copies OF the road law in pamphlet
form OF IS pages-which is the exact
number of pages required to print the
said law in full-but the order
having been subsequently received
to omit a part OF the law,
the pamphlet furnished said officials
contained only 10 pages; for which ne
account has been rendered by said LEWIS
BAKER & Co, and not one cent has been
paid by said officials, nor has any COM
plant been made by them, as the order
Was filed exactly as requested.
With these slight corrections the rep.
reservations above referred to are true.
Those who are acquainted with the char
acter OF the journal referred to may,
however, regard these corrections as uu-
ne, essary and superfluous, and to that
extent We plead guilty.
