A Newport Romance.

The Jewish cemetery lies not far
from the synagogue in the sweep made
by Kay street where it joins Touro,
In this quiet spot twelve Jewish fami-
lies lie buried, and as we stood beneath
the trees that spread protecting arms
over the graves, LongfellOw's poem,
written after visit to this cemetery,
came most vividly to mind. One verse
especially, as we looked at the neatly
kept tlower-beds, the turf so soft and
well-cared for, the buds that bloomed
above the dead, came to our lips:
Gone are the living but the dead remain
And not neglected, for hand unseen,
Scattering its bounty like summer rain,
Still keeps their graves and memory green.
In the inclosure are two graves so
near each other that as you stand by
one your shadow falls upon the other;
within them sleep two lovers, separated
during life but united long since by
death. Judah TourO and Catherine
Hays were cousins, and among the
Jews it is crime for those so near of
kin to marry. True to the religion and
traditions of their race they separated
never to marry again, although they
lived to be old people. Neither Of
them married, content with the men,
ory of their love and the hearing of
each others welfare from mutual
friends. They both died in January,
1854, when he was seventy-nine years
of fage and Catherine was sseventy-seven.
His name was the last word she
uttered, and in his delirium before
death called him he talked of walking
in beautiful garden with Catharine
Hays, his first and only love. Judah
TuOro, however, did not let disappoint-
ment embitter his life, for he spent it
in active benevolence, and from fund
left by him the means are provided to
keep the cemetery in order. 1t is told
of him that he built churches in New
Orleans for all sects, even contributing
towards the erection of a Unitarian
place Of worship. On his monument
the following words are cut: "The
last of his name, he inscribed it in the
book of philanthropy to be rememberd
ver."-NeWport r. ~ Letter.

Recipes.

CORN MUSH.-Put a quart of water
on to boil; stir pint of cold milk with
one pint of corn meal and one table
spoonful of salt. When the water boils
pour in the mixture gradually, stirring
well; boil half an hour, stirring con.
Stantly.
STUFFED STEAK.-Make a stuffing
of bread, herbs, onions, salt and pep
per; spread over the steak, which
should be an inch thick. Roll it up
and tie tightly with cord. Bake or
stew slowly for two hours. Serve with
brown gravy.
DRIED BEEF.-Shave the beef and
pour cold water over it, place on the
fire and let it come to a boil; repeat
this process twice; pour off the water
and cover well with rich fresh milk.
When it comes to a boil season with
pepper and butter and thicken with a
little flour. Pour over buttcred toast
and serve hot.
SPICED APPLEs.-Spiced apples are
very appetizing, and the new and usll-
ally almost tasteleSs early apples can
be prepared in this way: Take four
pounds of apples (weigh them after
they are peeled), two pounds of susir,
half an ounce of cinnamon in the
stick, one quarter of an ounce of cloves
and one pint of vinegar; let the vine
gar, spices and sugar come to boil;
then put in the whole apples and cook
them until they are so tender that a
broom splint will pierce them easily.
These will keep for a long time in a
jar. Put a clean cloth over the top of
the jar before putting the cover on.
Early pears may also be spiced in the
same way, and are nice for dinner or
tea.

A Musical Prodigy.

The son of David Neal, the famous
American painter, who lives in Munich,
at the age of nine years exhibited the
most marvellous musical powers, and
heard his own compositions played by
the band of the famous Prince Royal
regiment. He was lifted above the
heads of people and musicians to
receive the applause and their re-
cognitions as a composer. The new
Mozart they call him. He is now
eleven years old, and is all the time
composing. He improvised on the
piano while he wore bibs. In one OF
his letters at Christmas to the "Christ-
kind" he mentioned but one gift, and
that the most involved and learned
volume of essays on composition. For
days after receiving it he was up at )
o'clock in the morning devouring its
pages. Strauss has been to see him,
taken him in his arms and shed some
tears over him.
