ONE STITCH DROPPED.

One stitch dropped as the weaver drove
His nimble shuttle to and fro,
In and out beneath, above,
Till the pattern seemed to bud and grow
AS if the fairies had helping been;
And the one stitch dropping pulled the next stitch
out.
And weak place grew in the fabric stout
And the perfect pattern was marred for ave.
By the one small stitch that dropped that
day
One small life in Gods great plan,
How futile it seems as the ages roll.
Do what it may, o strive how it can.
To alter the sweep of the infinite whole!
single stitch i'm an endless web;
drop in the ocean flow and ebb;
But the pattern is rent where the stitch is lost,
Or marred where the tangled threads have
crossed
And each life that fails of the true intent,
Mars the perfect plan that it's Master meant.

Recipes.


A VERY NICE DEssERT.-This is a light
dessert, quickly made: One quart of
cold boiled custard then beat the whites
of four eggs to a stiff froth, then beat
into the froth five spoonfuls of red cur
rant Jelly, the same of powdered sugar,
and the juice Of half lemon; drop the
colored frosting around on the top of the
custard to serve. The four yolks will
make the custard, and the four whites
the frosting; the yellow of the former,
and the pink of the latter forming very
pretty dish.
ANOTHER - Another cream that is
delicate and delicious, is made like this:
Put half box Zone ounce of gelatine in
q bowl, cover with cold water
and allow to stand one hour to SWELL
then add one pint and half of milk, and
put into the milk boiler; beat the yolks
of three eggs with one large cup of sugar

minutes, stirring constantly, and then
add the frothed whites of the three eggs,
and remove from the fire; stir briskly for
three minutes, adding vanilla, or lemon,
if preferred, q large spoonful, and when
cold, pour into moulds and put on ice to
harden.
CARAMEL CUsTARD. = Custard made
with caramel is of decidedly different
flavor. Place halfa teacupful of sugar in
a frying pan, and stir continually until
it melts and turns a light brown; then

mingled together pour in pint OF hot
milk and remove from the fire. Add
three well-beaten eggs and apinch of salt

beef and small piece of suet together.
Season with pepper, salt and sweet herbs.

bread crums, two tablespoonful of but
ter and soup stock to mOisten. Work
in q roll with -four to keep together, and

VEAL LoAF.-Chop two pounds OF veal
with half q pound Of fat pork, roll a
dozen stale crackers, and wet with half a
teacup of milk. Mix all together and

grated nutmeg and lemonpeel. Bake an
hour and a half When perfectly cold

This, That and the Other.

A friend of mine showed me the other
day adOzen pretty lunch napkins she had
just made from q partly worn damask
table cloth. They were twelve inches
square and fringed on all sides. Her
initials were embroidered in one corner
with the unfading red cotton. cit
wouldn't pay" she said, ito put much
work on them, but these will last long
time"
Another friend tells me of some beauti-
full curtains she has made by stencilling
them, and these are her directions. "Get
the best of cheese cloth, mine was light
tan color of excellent quality, almost as
good as Nuns yelling. Allow a little full
ness in the width, but avoid seam if
possible, also allow enough in the length
to turn over at the top. Now stretch it
tightly and smoothly on the table and
fasten with small tacks. Then select
some simple design. Such as daisy or
sunfOwer, or autumn leaves, (mine were
the latter) and draw the outline Oh O.
piece of card board and cut out. Use the
perfectly cut opening in the cardboard
as stencil. Lay it ON the the cloth and
with fine camel hair brush, paint over
the space with gold paint or with the
beautiful metallic lustre paints. Turn
over the top and paint on the other side
also. You can add the stems and veins
of the leaves afterward if you wish, O.
vine Or spray" We think that sash
curtains, now used so much, would be
beautiful stencilled in this manner.

"Brighten your old tin ware with COM
mon sOda," 80 says an experienced
housekeeper. Dampen O cloth dip in the
soda, rub briskly, after which wipe very
dry.
If we could have our way all the old tin
ware should be quickly discarded and
the beautiful agate ware substituted.
No more pleasurable feeling can be ex-
perienced by the housewife than to be the
owner of a variety of these excellent cul-

what to give his wife the coming hoIi-
days? Ii she is not already the pOssessor
of these articles. send them to her-a
hOmely present to be sure, but very use
full.

slice it, put in glass dishes and take or

them, slice and put a layer OF orange to

bread take one Or two oranges and
squeeze the juice over the top layer will
add greatly toward softening the bread.
TOMATO CUSTARD.
Take six Or eight nice large tomatoes
slice them and put in q pan to simmer q
few moments ON the stove, take and run
them through sieve so as to separate
the pulp from the seed then add two eggs,
well beaten, sweeten and flavor to suit

After all the trouble of holding 8 Falls Village, passing Buncombe resolu- tions and having the same put in type by THE NEWS, Senator Bartram declines to accept the renomination, consequently another convention has been called to meet at Falls Village tomorrow (Thurs- day) at 10 8. m.

 PARIS, Oct. l7.-On arriving in this city MT. O'Brien was met at the railway station by his wife. He declined to be interviewed, and referred reporters to MT. Dillon, who conversed freely. He said that they had nothing to conceal. The motive for the flight was the wish to appeal, on behalf of their unhappy brethren at home, to 8,0O0, 900 Irish in America. The people of America were greatly interested in Ireland, and there was no doubt the mission would be successful"
 "We need money" continued MT. Dill lon, ito carry on the struggle against the landlords, to assist the unhappy tenants who are perishing with hunger, and to build houses for evicted families. The gov ernment aimed to deprive the people of these resources, therefore we did not hesi- tate to flee from it's unjust grasp.
 "We expect to embark on the steamer La Bretagne from Havre on Saturday, Oct 25, and after remaining four months in America we will return to England and surrender ourselves. We have been pris- oners so often," laughingly conclude ed MT. Dillon, that few months in jail, more or less, cannot frighten Us. We look with confidence to the general election for the triumph of MT. Gladstone, who will give to Irishmen the liberty that has been nromisad
