Your "Iconoclast goes to work like
one who should justify his unbelief that the ami
NAL figures which disfgure the battle monument
in Baltimore represent living creatures by sending
US to classic biologists to search for the same in
vain. Aristotle might not have been beyond the
reach of such authorities. Ii is supposabe that if
some wandering Athenian had brought back the
report Of having seen griffinS in Central Africa,
Aristotle might have believed, or at least ques-
toned. He excelled rather in amassDg partiCu-
lars than in co-Ordinating. Not so with Linnaus,
CuYier, or Agassiz They would have rejected the
tale from their knowledge OF the correlation al
ways found between part and part Cuvier, it is
said from any discovered bone, could recon-
struct the animal. No conceivable bone could
bring out the reconstructed griffin. There are
SPIRITUAL CUvIERS,
who, knowing one part of the character, could re-
construct the man. No profundity in such art is
necessary for knowing, without history or argu-
ment that the incongruities told of Jesus were
never united in one man. Taking one part OF tie

Corn-Mcal Dishes-

1t is not too late in the season to use corn
| meal, at least two or three times week. Its
heating property is favorable to health in the
shape of cakes or mullins for breakfast on fros-
ty morning, or a pudding on a raw, chilly day.
If more corn meal were used in our diet there
would be less dyspepsia in every family, and our
children would be more vigorous and muscular.
PAScAKEs.-Sift a pint of corn meal, and pour
il over boiling milk until a little thinner than
mush. When cool, add the beaten yolk of four
eggs, half a emp of iiour, and little salt add
milk enough to make the batter suitable to
bake; then stir in the beaten whites, and three
tablespO0nfuls of baking powder, mixed with
trifie of -four.
MUFFISs.-A richer, but just as healthfu an
article, on account of its lightness, is dish of
corn mullins, made as follows: Sift together one
cup of corn meal and two of flour; cream; one
half teacupfui of broken butter beat three eggs,
yolks and whites separately; turn the butter,
eggs and one teacupful of sugar into the centss
of the flour and meal; beat TO batter in the
centre, and then add two cups of rich sour milk,
into which one and a half teaspOOnfnl of soda
has just been dissolved; add n teaspoonfnl of
salt, and beat quickly until smooth and light.
Bake in hot muffin-rings or gem pans, in a quick
oven.
HoMINY, OR SAMP.-As dinner dish, the
cOarsely cracked hOminy is an, excellent substi-
tute or change for potatoes, now that they are
getting none the better for age. Wash and put
to boil with fire or six times its measure of wa
ter, and let it cock slowly for several hOnrs un,
til perfectly tender; season with butter, pepper
and salt. Samp, which is coarse corn meal,
makes an nyigOrating breakfast DISH, when
thoroughly cooked. 1t is more hsalthfal satea
with cold milk, but may be served with butter,
little white sugar, or syrup
CORN MEAL PvDptNG WITH FRUrT.-A lady in
the Rural Ner~ Yorker, gives the following as n
choice recipe for dinner pudding: Three pints
of new milk one heaping cup Of corn meal, and
one even cup of flour; four beaten eggs one
cup of white sugar; two tablespoonfuls of melt
ed butter; one-half pound of raisins, cut and
seeded one tablespoonful each of salt and cin-
namon three teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
sifted with the flour. Scald the milk, and stir
in the meal; then add the sugar, beaten eggs,
butter, spice and fruit, well dredgcd with flour.
When well mixed, sift in the flour, and beat fast
for two minutes. Bake in buttercd dish in a
well-heated oven. 1t will be done in from forty
five minutes to an hour. Should it brown too
fast, cover with paper. Eat as soon as done,
with creamed butter and sugar.

In snowy silk and lace;
A crown Of her braided hair they set.

And kissed her braided hair,
And folded down the peaceful hands
Upon the bosom fair,
And, weeping. saw on 04e q ring

And looked for rhyme or name.

A CHEAP LADDER.-Take plank Of good clear
pine, an inch and n quarter thick, as long as
You wish to make the ladder, and ten inches
wide. Slit in the middle, and taper the pieces
from the middle to the ends, leaving them five
inches wide in the middle and two and one-half
at each end. Make the rounds Of hard tough
wood, and put them in one foot apart. The bot
tom round should be about three feet long, and
each successive one should be about an inch
shorter than the one under it. A ladder made
in this way will balance wen, thus rendering II
easy to handle, and will be strongest where il
ought to be, in the middle.
