infrmities. without its fatigues-it must
come up.
Oh, how long it seems for some Of you.
Waiting-waiting for the resurrection
How long, how longl I make for your
broken hearts to-day a cool, soft bandage
of Easter lilies. Last night we had come
in the mails a beautiful Easter card, on
the top of it a representation Of that ex-
quisite flower called the trumpet
creeper," and under it the inscription:
''The trumpet shall sound, and the dead
shall be raised" comfort you this day
with the thought Of resurrection.
When Lord Nelson was buried in st.
Paul's Cathedral in London, the heart OF
England was stirred. The procession
passed on amid the sobbing OF a nation.
There were thirty trumpeters stationed at
the door Of the cathedral, with instru-
ments Of music in hand waiting for the
signal, and when the illustrious dead ar
rived at the gates of ST. Paul's Cathedral,
these thirty trumpeters gave. one united
blast, and then all was silent. Yet the
trumpets did not awake the dead, He
slept right on.
But I have TO tell you, what thirty
trumpeters could not do for one man, ono
trumpeter win do for all nations. The
ages have rolled on, and the clock OF the
worlds destiny strikes nine, ten, eleven,
twelve, and time shall be no longer.
Behold the anchangel towering. He
takes the trumpet, points il this way,
puts its lips to his lips, and then blows
one long, loud, terrific, thunderous re-
verberating and resurrectionary blast.
LOokl Lookl They riBel The dead The
deadt Some coming forth from the 6ami-
ly vault; some from the city cemetery;
some from the country graveyard. Here
a spirit is joined to its body, and there
another spirit is joined to another body,
and millions Of departed spirits are as
sorting the bodies, and then reclothing
themselves in forms now radiant for as
cension.
The earth begins TO burn-the bonire OF
a great victory. All ready now for the

How to Carve.

A FEW MORE SUGGESTIONS ON THIS NECESSARY
BUT NEGLECTED ART.
A man who has just written book on
carving naturally insists that a man educa-
tion is incomplete IL he doesn't know how to
carve. TIL there are many, many men of
m my, many minds who stand together in
tie great ranks of the uneducated But TIE
book has great deal in it that is interesting.
"a dun knife is a thing of terror, it GER
t'inly breeds dyspc psia; it makes delicious
vIands unsavory, and many family quarrel
has EN- mated from it," Should you stand
or sit VI hen you carveP That depends up
what you have to cut Rise in all you
might, so as to have full play of your mus
cles when you wrestle with a goose and
keep your place when you divide your
"priucely canyas-back." "Hold your knife
gracefully"
Yes sracefully-but that's just the rub.
Mr.. Murrey says put the thumb on the back
OF the knife, and not the forefnger. If the
tyro would practice on ducks he would soon
become an expert, providing you have ducks
enough-force ducks--then only give slverS
of breast and leave to the imagination of
your guests your capability of fdissecting legs
and wings. Then, besides, as duck uses
his legs great deal they are muscular, and
never are good eating. 1t is delicate per
c4pton of this fitness of thing which Mr..
Mrrrey possesses when be writes about the
stuffing of Oesse, thoroughly soaked in
grease, ''it should not be served to any but
day laborers." To carve canvas-back
duck you want sharp, stubby knife, aud
you just split your lovely bird in two. Half
canvas back duck is what man should
have--must have or his right sare Jt respect
ed.
If there be gravy in the dish ruby-coored
honestly, impartially give to each his share,
but well-roasted oanvaS-b back duck should
loose but little of its essence. The perfect
cook keeps it all within the delectable bird. /.
There are little dodgos about helping the
gravy which Mr.. Murrey, as an expert, knows
about. If your meat Is dry n little gra' y
renders it juicy. If it be boiled IN ltton AID
too rare dash of white sauce with capers
makes it look better done; but never, no
never, pour your gravy tom the gravy boat
but spoon it. A cataract of gravy swan ps
any decent appetite.

SATURDAY JANUARY al, 1855.
Still Explaining.

The attempts of the dog fanciers to ex-
plain and defend the savage attack mace
upon Mr.. French, his wife and little child
by two mast,fls, sickening ascouDts of which
have been published, are growing decidedly
funny. At irt the injuries to the MANNED
master, the torn m stress and lacerated child
were conceded to be terrible, and the fr, ak
of the ANIMALS, which had never been vicious
before and which had been raised and been
petted for eight years by their victims, could
not be accounted for. The dogs had been
playthings for children and were regarded
thoroughly gentle aud intelligent, but here
was the fact, they had turned upon and torn
a child, attacked their mistress and disfig-
ured their master.
At last some ingenious person suggested
that the dogs were not of pure breed, they
were mongrels. Then chorus set up Every
body knew all about it now. Learned dir
QUESTIONS appeared upon the various breeds
OF mast'fs, and it was clearly and emphatic
ally settled that, while mastiff is great
lump of good nature, cross between mas
tiff and st. Bernard was just the most
savage, vicious, treacherous and ferocious
thing out. The public actually began to
feel that the victims in the hospital were not
only tools for not knowing that fact, but
were such slanderers of very useful animal
that they had hardly met with their full
deserts. So for a week there have been
publications showing what fierce and dread
f.,I - oh q apd
by cross between mastiff and st. Bernard
are, and keepers of pet dogs have begun to
wear something of an injured air in speaking
of the vic inns of that Sundays bluody eu-
counter, who through their owr discretion
and mangled appearance have done great
wrong and injustice to very worthy class
Of animals.
But it seems the friends of che canine are
not YET satisfied and now they forget the
feroeity of the ''mongrels," of which 80
much has been renently written. IL has
now come to this; the child was not bitten
by the dogs at all, but only scratched by
their toe-nails in play. Mrs. French was
bitten by mistake, because her husband
foollshly snshed in and began kicking tn,
dogs the latter thinking he was assuultinl
their mistress; and Mr.. French was attacked
because OF the general blunder, the noise,
&C., which were calculated to excite anc
frenzy the most amiable animals. Presently
we shall hear that nobody was bitten; ther,
were no dogs; the whole thing was mis-
take; the CHILD scratched its own face; tht
lady was beaten by her husband; the later
was drunk aud gnawed of his own nose
which the doctors are now trying to renew
by taking cuticle from his arm. 1t looks a
if poor Mr.. French will not only lose, BIZ
dogs, his nose and his peace of mind for al
time to come, but his character SIS well
through the zeal of those who are interests
in championing the bad practice of keepn
dogs in city.

A HOME LIBRARY.
5000 Famous Authors.

1t seems almost incredible to say that
library fairly representing approximately
two thousand of the most eminent authors
of the world, of all lands and all tunes, can

homes. Yet this is what is accomplished by
Alden's Cyclopedia of Universal Literature,
volume VIII. of which is issued in Noven-
Der. The work, completed, is to comprise
from fifteen to twenty volumes which are in
large type, and really beautiful and excel
eDt in all mechanical qualities, and yet sold
at the pheuominallY low price of so cents PEI
7olume for cloth, or 80 cents for half-moroc-
co bindings; even from these prices large re-
ductions are made to early purchasers and
to clubs.
Volume VIII. includes such notable names
as Ferreira, the Portuguese poet; Feuillet, the
French noyelist Johann Gottlieb Fichte.
German philosopher; Henry M. Field,
American journalist aud author; Henry
Fielding, English novelist; Sames 7. Fields,
American publisher and author; Louis FL
guier, French scientist, Frdusi, Persian
poet, Geo. P. Fisher and Wilbur Fisk
American theological writers; John Fiske
American scientist; Flammarion, French au-
thor of t'rhe Wonders of the Heavens;"
Flaubert, French novelist; Mary Hdllock
Foote, American artist and author; John
Forster, English biographer, Charles Four
Ter, French socialist and political economist;
Charles James Fox, English statesman;
George Foxe. of "The Book of Martyrs"
fame; Or. ]. W. Francis, American author
and Sir Philip Francis (the famous unius);
Benjamin Franklin American statesman,
philosopher, and philanthophst; E. A. Fl ee-
man, historian; John G. Fremont, general

these in the letter +, besides a small host in
the letter G. The publisher will send a
specimen volume to any one on receipt of
the price, allowing the privilege of return if
the set is not wanted. All lovers of good

A Dividend to Its Patrons.

The recent action of the Cnrcago& North
Western Railway Company, whereby an ac-
cumulated surplus of $40, 900, 900 was applied
to improvement of the property in various
directions most benificia to the public, may
be fairly characterized as a dividend to its
patrons. The splendid depot facilities in
Chicago are supplemented by equally appro.
pirate and comnodious st alton houses at al
points on its lines. Its bridges are of IRON,
ts culverts stone; all approaches are solid
embankment. Its tracks are of steel and are

scarcely affords du,t enough to soil cam
gines and ears of most modern pattern, with
all appliances necessary to promote comfort
and sense of security to its millions of pa
irons. The instinct Of its management, ever
alert to forecast public wants, finds its reflex
u the eagerness with which all attaches of
whatever grade avail themselves of every
uppoi tunity to contribute by countless little
attentions, to the enjoyment and wel-being
of all with whom they come in contact. To
the accuracy of this statement the thousands
of new settlers located on its lines in Illinois
