useful in the vulgar sense. Learn The
economy of the kitchen, the good a1d
bad qualities of every common article OF
food, and the simplest and best modes
of their preparation; help poor families
in their cooking, show them how to mako
as much of everything as possible, and
how to make little niceties coaxing and
tempting them into tidy and pretty ways,
and pleading for well-folded table-cloths,
however coarse, and for flower or two
out of the garden to strew on them,
One should, at the end of every day, be
able to say, as proudly as any peasant,
that she has not eaten the bread OF
idleness. Get quit of the absurd idet
that Heaven will interfere to correct
great errors, while allowing it's laws to
take their own course in Furnishing small
ones. IF food is carelessly prepared no
one expects Providence to make it palat-
able; neither if, through years of folly,
you misguide your own life, need you
expect divine interference to bring
around everything at last for the best.
I tell you, positively, the world is not
so constituted. The consequences of
great mistakes are just as sure as those
of small ones. and the happiness of your
whole life and of all the lives over which
you have power, depends as literally on
your common sense and discretion IS
the excellence and order of day."

The Bridal Package.

Nearly every bridal couple that comes
to Washington-and Washington is the
national bridal Mecca--yisits the treas
ury vaults. The young and invariably
interesting couple want to closely in
spect Uncle Sans plentiful shekels.
When they enter the vault the man in
charge OF it, after a few preliminary
words Of explanation, hands down a
package OF notes from shelf and tells
the bride to take it in her hands. He
then explains that this package cor
tains $40, Goo 900 in United States treas
ury notes. The young lady is delighted
to be able to go away and say that she
has had SO much money in her own
hands. She is just too utterly pleased.
The groom also wants to handle the
package. They are further told that
the notes are all of the denomination of
$4,000. This constitutes what is known
as the bridal package" Young mar
ried TOURISTS having. heard of this pack
age, often ask TO handle it just as soon
as they enter the vaults. This is all
very pretty. But it is d fraud ON the
young people. The treasury here does
not hold that amount OF money. The
bulk OF the money is in the sub treas
ury at New York. That '' bridal pack
age is a gay deceiver. It does contain,
however, notes OF the denomination OF
SIC. 200, which would, in the aggregate,
represent 500, 100000 il they were only
signed. But they are worth no more III
reality than the paper on which they
are printed, being minus the necessary
signatures. = Washington letter.

Miss Cnshman,s Intrenid S,irIIt.

The following anecdote illustrates
Charlotte CushmaD's decision and nerve.
At the National Theater, Boston, dur
ing the season CT 1852, IS she was
playing Romeo to the Juliet CT Hiss an
derton, IN The midst Of one Of the most
romantic passages between the lovers,
some person in the house sneezed in
such manner as to attract the attention
CT the whole audience, and every one
knew that the sneeze was artificial and
dalisive. Miss C.shman instantly
stopped the dialogue, and led Hiss An
derton CT. the stage as a cavalier oDigIrt
lead lady from a place where al insult
had beer offered her. She then returned
TO the footlights and said IN clear,
firm voice Some man must pat that
person out, or [ shall be obliged to 10 it
myself" The fellow was taken away !;
the audience rose Ell masse and gave
three cheers for Miss Cushman, who re-
called her companion, and proceeded
with the play as if nothing had hap.

Deyoured by q SUcuruyu.

A very unpleasant account is given by
Brazilian paper of the proceedings of
huge water snake called the sucu-
ruyu," which is to be found in some of
the rivers of Brazil. An incident occurred
on the banks of the Rio Arassuahy,
owing to the voracity OF one of these
reptiles. A slave, with some companions,
was fishing with net in the river, when
he was suddenly seized by sucuruyu,
and, in spite of his resistance, was
dragged under the water in the presenceof
the Mortified spectators. He never ap-
peared again, and no doubt is enter
tanned that he was swallowed by the
sucuruyu, who made an effort with his
hinder coils to carry off at the same
time another of the fishing party. It il

human beings; but it loses no opportu-

What is Fruit 2

It is very natural for editors to write
about such subjects as come up in con-
versation, or the things he comes in con-
tact with in his intercourse with the
world. Lately the agricultural editor at
his boarding house heard q friend make
a statement that the pie being served was
made of fruit. Another disputed the
position by stating that it was made Of
the stalks Of rhubarb, or pie-plant. Of
course, Webster was referred ., to set
tie the dispute, when one of the many
follies of that Yankee lexicon was dis
covered. The main definition of fruit Is
given as "iWhatever the earth produces
for the nourishment Of animal, or for
clothing or profit. Among the fruits OF
the earth are included not only corn OF
all kinds, but grass, cotton. fax, grapes,
and all cultivated plants, etc. So il
was settled in council that pie-plant Is
fruit.-Des 1fojnes Register.

Recent Legal Decisions.

A, who was in the employment of B,
bargained with him for the purchase Of
q horse which B owned and kept on his
farm, the price to be paid from wages
to be earned by A. The horse remained
or the farm under the care of A, who
paid for his forage and vino claimed
Ownership of the animal. An attach
neut against B WAS levied on the horse,
and A brought an action to recover him
as his property, Hull VS.. Sigsworth In
january the Supreme Court of Errors of
Connecticut decided iii favor OF the at
taching creditor. Judge Pardee, Ill the
opinion, said: "There was no visible
change in the possession OF the horse,
and the declarations of ownership made
by A, including those made at the time
OF the attachment, must so for nothing,
because the apparently-unchanged own
ership by B was constant denial of
their truth, and, as matter of law, bore
them down.
Millers who were engaged in manu-
featuring -four, mixing for the purpose
red and white wheat, and who had
wheat in store for the purpose, and who
were receiving wheat in store for others
and issuing warehouse receipts therefor,
applied to q bank for loan and were al
lowed the loan on condition of their
giving warehouse receipt for Is, 900
bushels Of wheat as security. They gave
the receipt accordingly, stating therein
that they had received in store 1900
bushels No / white winter wheat and
No. 2 red wheat, the same or an
equivalent IN flour to be held for
the banks as security for the pay
ment of note OF soc, 900. The
millers subsequently failed in business,
having put o fraudulent MORTGAGE in
possession and the bank replevined from
him such wheat as was found in store
1900 bushels No white winter-and
took flour manufactured from wheat in
store for the remainder. Upon these
facts the Supreme Court OF Michigan
held: First, that warehouseman gould
make q valid pledge Of grain in store by
issuing a warehouse receipt therefor,
! without the ceremony of making actual
delivery OF the grain. Second, that the
pledge III this case was not invalid be-
cause of It's specifying two kinds OF
wheat, but that the pledge was entitled
to take al equal amount Of each kird.
third, that not finding the requisite
amount Of wheat, the bank might legal
Iy take an equivalent from the -four, rs
they did.

boiled clean and hada supply OF material
