First put one peck of coarse salt
in a barrel, and one pail Of water;
wash cucumbers; always leave on
about one inch of the stem when
from the vines; put them in the
brine and lay all over them a piece
of wooden cloth, a round cover that
will 90 down to the bottom of TIL
barrel and a stone to keep them
under the brine; pick cucumbers
every day and put in until the bar
rel is full, adding water to keep them
covered. Now the only trouble in
keeping them is the scum that rises;
put into the barrel about half a peck
of horsc-radish root, thoroughly
washed, and you will have no trouble
of that kind; without that you must
rinse your flannel cloth every day
while you are making your pickles.
To prepare them for use, soak them
in a brass kettle, changing the water
every day until quite fresh; to make
them green, put a piece Of alum in
every water while you are soaking
them; wipe them dry, put in a jar
and pour hot vinegar over them; put
spices, whole cloves, etc, in your
vinegar.-Fdrm and Ftreside.

cUcUMBERs THAT KEEP GREEN

Take three gallons of cucumbers;
wash them, put them in pickle tor
six orseven days, changing the pickle
one or twice during that time ;
scaId vinegar and put in it a lump OF
alum as large as a butternut. Drain
the pickles, pack into a jar, and pour
the hot vinegar over them. Pick
some grapevine leaves and lay over
them. Close the jar for a week, then
pour off this vinegar, which will not
do for another lot scald fresh vine
gar in which some green peppers
have been placed, some ho~rse-radish,
mustard seed, spices and celery seed.
Lay on fresh grape-vines and pour
the vinegar on hot. Keep closed for
a while until thoroughly cool. This
recipe is good and given by a lady
who has made pickles the same way
for forty years and never fails to
have the best. They are green and
firm [ may add, however, that she
makes her own vinegar by saving
apple parings and cores in a stone jar
and keeping covered with warm wa
ter. 1t is clean and good. She some
times adds a teaspoonful Of white
sugar.-Fdrm and FtTpside.

REMOVING OBJECTS FROM THE

We find the following in an ex-
change, and offer it for those who
desire otry the experiment. Here is
n way ofremovingo objects from the
eyes: Take a horse-hair and double
it, leaving a loop, 1.-THE object can
be seen, lay the loop over it, close
the eye, and the mote will come out
as the hair is withdrawn. If the
irritating object cannot be seen, raise
the lido the eye as high as possible
and place the loop as far as youcan,
close the eye androll the ball around
a few times, draw out the hair, and
the substance which caused the pain
will be sure to come with it. The
method is practiced by axe-makers.

layD
Triumphant waved our flag n day
He fell in the front before it.

Firm as the frmest, where duty led, 90
He hurried without a ~falter; 7saiE
Bold as the boldest he fought and bled,
And the day was won-but the field was
red, -~ rs,s uz- :
And the blood of his fresh young heart
was shed
On his country's hallowed altar.
On the trampled breast of the battle
plain
Where the foremost ranks had wres-
tied,
On his pale pure face not a mark of pain,
(His mother dreams they will meet
again),
The fairest form amid all the slain,
Like a child asleep he nestled.
In the. solemn shades of the wood that
swept
The field where his comrades found him
They buried him there-and the big tears
crept
Into strong mems eyes that had seldom
wept,
(His mother-God pity her-smiled and
slept,
Dreaming her arms We're around him).
A grave in the woods with the grass DER
grown,
A grave in the heart of his mother
His clay in the one lies hfeless and alone;
There is not a name, there isnot a stone,
And only the voice of the winds maketh
Ger the grave where never a flower is
strewn,
But-his memory lives in the other.

u AT HOME.

Do not be afraid of a little fun at
home, good people. Do not shut up
your house, lest the SUI should fade
your carpets and your hearts, lest
a laugh should shake down a few of
the musty old cobwebs that are
hanging there. Young people must
have fun and relaxation somewhere ;
if they do not find it at their own
hearthstones, they will seek it at
other and less profitable places.
Therefore let the fire burn brightly
at night in winter, and let the doors
and windows be cheerfully thrown
open in summer, and make the home
stead delightful with all those little
erts parents so we'll understand. Do
not repress the buoyant spirits of
your children. Half an hour ofmer-
riment within doors, and merriment
Of a home, blots out the remembrance
of many a care and annoyance dur
ing the day, and the best safeguard
they a take with them into the
world is the unseen influences of the
bright, little home sanctum.-Farm

BAKED

A high authority in cooking rec
omends that, when baking a Gus
tard, you should set the basin or
pudding dish filed with hot water;
this keeps the temperature more
even, and the danger of searching is
entirely done away with. A more
delicate flavor is insured also.
SWEET POTATO PONE.
Wash we'll six good-sized sweet
potatoes, scrape the skins off and
CRATE on a potato crater, mix in one
tablespoonful of butter, one cup of
molasses, one of sugar, three eggs,
pinch of salt, pounded orange peel,
nutmeg and ginger to suit the taste;
put in a pan, sprinkle sugar over
the top and bake.
PALMETTO BATTER. CAKES.
To one quart of milk add the yolks
of four eggs, beaten very lightly,
mix boiled rice or hominy to suit
your taste, and add -four enough to
make the properconsistency. Lastly,
beat the whites of the eggs very
light, and stir in just before baking.
Buttermilk can be used instead of
sweet milk, but the acidity must be
corrected with a little soda.
CURRANT BUNS.
Wash and rub we'll one half pound
of dried c~urrants, being very careful
to free them from gravel, sticks, ETC.,
which they r almost sure to con
tain; sift one quart of -four and mix
the ~currants thoroughly into it add
