Bre ad Without Yeast.

1t is we'll known fact that bread made
with yeast, if eaten before it becomes
stale, ferments again in the stomach, pro-
ducing indigestion and numerous other
complaints. Bread raised with Royal
Baking Powder, instead of yeast, is en-
tirely without this defect; but on the
contrary, is one of the most effectual pre-
ventives of indigestion or dyspepsia. By
the nse of the Royal Baking Powder the
eaccharine properties of the -four, which
are destroyed by fermentation with yeast,
are preserved and the bread is made more
nutritious. Ten per cent more bread is
Daked-because of this saving-frOm the
same quantity of -four.
The Royal Baking Powder will also
make sweet, white bread from an inferior
quality OF flour, a property possessed by
no other leavening agent. Thus, much
nour that is dark in color, or from Other
cause is considered below the finer grades,
and therefore much cheaper, can be uti-
hzed and turned into O perfectly sweet
and wholesome bread. Nor can bitter
Dread ever result from the use of toe
much, or more than the required guam
tty, of Royal Baking Powder; as
whether used in small or large quantities
lie proportions are in such exact equiva
Tents that they always nentralize each
other. Bread made in this way does moi
require mixing over night, but may bt
prepared ready for the oven in few min
utes; an advantage that will be readily
appreciated by every housekeeper.

TWO YEARS MORE.

For two years more, oh, blacklist shame !!
Will woman's tears your record blot
oh, men should wear another name,
Whose souls can bear such bloody spot.
For two years more, upon your street,
The palld cheek, the sunken eye,
OF drunkards' wives, will strangers meet,
Aud shudder, rs they pass them by.
For two years more, will children cry,
And stretch their hands for bread, in
vain,
Whose fathers in yonr cutters lie,
Or by your red hands, have been slain.
For two years more, will tint of rose,
Upon the young wife's cheek revealed
Will pale because, her direst foes
At "ballot box" her doom have sealed.
For two years more, will mothers wait,
Praying as night winds whisper by,
Oh, send him home, my God tits late;
Oh, Savior do not pass him by.
In two years more, as night winds sigh,
cHo ii Wink ucI udluSS anu hSs III No'A3
To hear his foot steps, coming nigh,
The steps, she'll never hear, again.
In two years more, the Rum FieHds work,
Will slay her boy, once proud and brsve;
Within her soul will shadows Turk,
And joy be silent as the grave.
For two years more, will sin and shame
Stalk abroad, in your proud city;
But ~Oman's praying, all the same,
And Godrs looking down in pity.
For two years more, oh souls cast down
Fork and pray nor furl your banner;
Look up! Gods holding forth your
crown;
Two more years, you'll shout Hosanna!

Friday evening, the 23d inst, it having
been previously announced that there
would be gathering for the puvpose of
club organization. l found considerable
turnout of ladies and gentlemen, notwith-
standing very upfavorable auspices, the
weather wearing threatening aspect
about the time they would leave home for
the church. started and was fortunate
to avail myself of the conveniences of the
hospitable roof of Capt. Milan, or should
have received a good drenching. From
what had heard In town from the antics,
felt some reluctance in making mylway
thither, / had heard that~a prohibition
speech would not be sanctioned at the
church inside or out, but to my astOnish-
ment no opposition was set up as TO
speeches in the church, but warm solicita-
tions to the contrary. A vote was called
for to get the sentiment by rising from
seats and every seat in the house was
made empty by the call of Rev. Mr.. Boone,
pastor of that church, which speaks
volumes his in favor.
