Budding.

Budding of trees is very simple and
much less trouble than grating, but it
can scarcely be described how to do it
sufficiently well to enable one to per
form it successfully. The season for
the purpose is June and July, when the
new buds are fully developed. With a
sharp knife remove bud carefully by
inserting the knife about an inch above
the bud and passing it down about an
inch below the bud, taking at the bud
little of the wood. Remove it with
an ivory, horn, or very smoothly pre-.
pared wooden knife, from the stock
without injury. Then make cut in
the stock where the bud is desired to
grow, about three fourths the length OF
the removed bud, makea cross slit near
the top of the other slit, thus, t, then
raise carefully up the bark at the sides,
and less at the top and bottom, place
the bud in it, and wrap round it closely
some brasswood or suitable paper will
answer, tied with cotton yarn, and it is
done. The stock from which the bud
is taken and the one on which it is
placed, should be from three. fourth to
an inch and half in diameter, and both
nearly the same size.
A half column directions, as we no.
tice in some journals, as to how budd
ing is to be done, is only confusing and
will not serve to impart the mforma-
tion so well as this brief account. 1t is
better, however, to see it done, and two
minutes ought TO be long enough to
teach one all about it.

A LA MODE BEEF.-Here is the most
sensible recipe for beef la mode it has
been my good fortune to use. Take
three pounds of Irish beef, remove all
the fat and gristle mix some cloves,
mace, allspice, black pepper, and lit
tie cayenne with little less than pint
of vinegar, the quantity of spice to be
determined by your taste-a tablespoon
full of each, with the exception of the
cayenne is sufficient. Put the meat in
porcelain kettle, and pour vinegar and
spices over it, and pint of sour stock.
1t is considered by some cooks great
addition to cut thin slices of bacon and
lay them over the meat. Cover the
kettle, and let the beef cook slowly till
perfectly tender. This may be served
cold, or hot, and with vegetable or
without.

Rum, Tobacco and the Young.

The excessive use of tobacco by i'm.
mature youth, especially in the form OF
the seductive cigarette, is growing
evil, Even those who believe that a
moderate use of tobacco, SO far from
being an evil, is beneficial, or at the
wost, harmless, have no hesitation in
oondemning the habit of sapping their
brains and their vitality by those addict
ed to the almost constant consumption
of cigarettes. Moreover, the disgust
ing practices connected with the use OF
tobacco-smoking when it is inoffen
sive to those who do not like it, and
making pig styes of pavements, floors,
cars, theatres and other public places
by indecent splitting, ought to be taken
in hand and corrected by wholesome
public opinion and by law wherever
practicable, On these points there is a
hearty agreement among large mum
bers of the consumers of tobacco, az
well as those who abstain from it,

A Famous War Horse.

In 1862 John ii. Whalen, a Kentucky boy
of IA years who had been in the Confederate
| service for year, got possession of 9-year
old mare which he christened Maggie
Lucas" He joined Morgan's raiders and
rode Maggie through all his campaigns in
the South and his raids through Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky, and was beside him when he
fell at Greenville, Tenn. At the close of
the war Mr.. Whalcn surrendered at Mt. Ster-
ling. but in order to save Maggie he left her
in the country and walked into town and
gave up his arms. This was afterward found
out, and he was arrested and Maggie confs-
Gated. Finally he lost sight of her and
mourned her as dear departed friend.
Two years ago he found her in Portland,
a suburb of Louisville, and gave the negro
who owned her $50 and a side saddle for her.
She recognized him as soon as he spoke and
followed him like dog. Having no place
to keep her. he sent her to farm five miles
out from Louisville where he pays $50 year
for her boarding, although il is sometimes
a hard rub to raise the monay. She is now
"a wears of age and if she lives until next
June, she will be taken to the Morgan reunion
at Lexington, and when she dies her skeleton
will be preserved and her hide stuffed. Her
funeral will be memorable event, as near
ly all the survivors of the Morgan band have
pledged themselves to attend.
