A Few Simple Recipes.

The Small Boy-Take equal parts Of
noise, dirt and four horsepower steam
engine; mix with bread and butter to
the taste (the boys taste), and set the
mixture to cool in the middle of ten
acre lot. II you find you have put in
too much noise (Which you undoubtedly
have), turn over and knead with the
hand or split shingle.
The SalesIady-This is a very easy
di,h. All that is required is little
giggle, brass to season, and a garnish-
ing of frizzles, bangs a-d cheap jewel
ry. Mix III an empty skull and serve.
The Politlcian-Tact. one part two
eyes for the main chance; one tongue,
well oiled, and as much cheek as possi-
ble. If you have little brain handy,
it may be added sparingly; but it does
not matter much, and most housekeep-
ers consider any use of brain in this
connection as extrava9ant. Bake in q
slow oven, so that 1t need not be done
brown. If it be more than half-baked
it is ruined.
The Poetic make poet, take lib
orally of shimmering sunshine, strain
through rhyming dictionary, and add
equal parts of lovesick adjectives,
archaic adverbs and such other words
as you may never have heard of. Set
in warm place, where the whole may
become intimately mingled, and garnish
with long hair, seedy clothing and an
empty stomach.
The Author Take such facts as you
have in the house and mix with twenty
gallons of gnsh and twaddle for each
fact, and boil down one-half. Then add
of classical illusions, threadbare stories
and ubiquitous anecdotes ten parts each,
and serve in a greasy coat and bald
head. Some prefer to send to the table
in curl papers, triced with hair-pins
but in this case the sauce must not be
forgotten, and little politico-poetic
transcendentalism is also a great i'm
provement.
A Kiss-This is composed of equal
parts of honey, sugar, ice cream, soda
with four kinds of syrup, love in cot
tage and supernal bliss. 1t can be emade
in the dark just as well as in the light.
Bake ia an elliptical dish, and selve
warm.
Charity-This is usually served cold.
When warm it is very apt to spoil, and
must therefore be used at home. Take
one part heart and one hundred parts
talk, and stir together until the heart is
dissolved, and add sufficient policy and
worldly wisdom to give it flavor.
Charity made by this recipe will keep
long time in any climate.

A gentleman near Winchester made
a rockery in front of his house in which
he planted some beautiful ferns, and
having put up the following notice,
found it more efficient and less expen-
sive than spring-guns or man-traps.

Home of Gold,

Somewhere in Southwestern New
Mexico, in the Sierra Madre, 1t is said
there is wonderful valley. Small,
enclosed in high rocky walls and
accessible by secret passage. which
is known to butfew, is this extraordinary
pla'e. 1t is about ten acres in extent,
has running through it a stream, which
waters it throughlY and makes it a
perfect TIradlse, with its exquisite
flowers and beautiful trees. In it are
thousands of birds of the most beautiful
plumage. Running across it is ledge
of pure gold about thilty feet wide,
which glistens in the sunlight like q
great golden belt. The stream crosses
this ledge and, as it runs, murmurs
around blocks Of yellow metal as other
streams do around pebbles. The ledge
of gold is supposed to be solid gold and
to run down into the centre of the earth.
The legend is Of Indian origin and
around it cluster number of Indian
stories, in which the name of the i'll
fated MonteZuma occurs frequently.
The descendants of the Aztecs believe
firmly that the day will ceme when
MonteZuma will return and free them
from the dominion Of the descendants of
the Co1questodores. They believe that
the money necessary for this work will
be taken from the Madre d'Oro. The
secret of the entrance into the valley is
carefully guarded by tribe of Indians
living near it. and among them it is
only communicated to the Oldest men,
amid the solemn ceremonies of the Med.
icine lodge. Having such a story to
work upon there is little wonder that
the vivid Imagination of the Mexicans
should have built upon it tales of men
who have found this wonderful place.
One is that a certain Jose Alvarez,
while wandering through the mountains
in search of game, saw the valley from
the top of the wall. Finding that he
could not hope to enter by climbing
down. he took up his abode with the
Indians who guard this canyon leading
into it. The daughter of the chief fell
in love with him and betrayed the secret
to him. Exactly how she found it out
they do not tell. Having been shown
the entrance, Jose went in and would
possibly have gotten away with some of
the gold had he not weighed himself
down to such an extent that he could
not get ND the declivity at the lower end
Of the passage. lie was discoverd and
the Indians sacrificed him on the golden
ledge with all the terrible ceremonies of
the old Aztec religion. She, in des-
pair at losing him, threw herself from
the high walls into the valley below.
Hundreds of prospectors have spent
months of toll trying to find the Madre
dOro, but it is scarcely necessary t.
say without result.

O robin blithe, your plumage dun
And cardinal shimmers in the sun,
AS swift you ly from tree TO tree,
Filling the air with melody,
And waking love, o merry one.
Your eyes diaphonous gleam with fun,
AS you dlssect the broken bun
The house-maid flings gratuitousiy,

My thoughts TO themes delicious run
Upon your hood OF song. All, me!

A barefoot urchin with gun,
