0GoD U 1T THERE"

asked my neighbor,
A wee little girl,
For a lock of her hair
A stray brown curl
Rnt she shook her head,
AS she said, "Ohl no,
For God put 1t there.
Why, DIDN'T you know2'
oh! may you remember,
Dear little one,
If beauty is yours.
When childhood is done,
To never grow vain
Because you are fair,
Why, God put it there?"
Dear little maid,
With hands spOtless, pure
You'll ever be good,
OF this I am sure,
If you will but say
When the tempter you hear
MY hands are not mine
For God put them there"
Oh! your little feet
viii not wander far
Away from the light
The souls guiding star,
If you Will UuG soy
In love and in fear:
INV feet, they r Gods,
For he put them thereE"
He gave you your tongue,
And dear sparkling eyes,
Bright as the stars
That peep from the skies!
He gave all things
Whatsoever are fair,
The large and the small,
God put them here!
Dear little children
With eyes that glow,
Teaching sweet lessons
Wherever you go,
Our hearts we lift
In praise and prayer,
Thanking the God

OMELET.

Ont off tops, break the stems at part
oeosing to be tender, cut in halt-lnch
nioces until you have about apint.
Roll in sailed water about twenty min
,,tea Drain. Beat sixeggs until light
and foamy, and add one half teaspoon
fnI of salt, one quarter teaspoonful of
nanner and n cup of milk. Have a
hmm of butter hot in the omelet pan,
tnrn in the mixture, cover, and place
On hack of stove until firm. Before
folding, spread on the asparagus and
turn out on a hot platter.
ROLLS.
Take two quarts of -four, two ounces
.of butter, one tablespoonful of sugar,
n pint of boiled milk (oooled) and
one:half cup of yeast. Put the flour
into a big earthen bowl and make a
hollow in the centre; put in the butter,
sugar. milk and yeast, not rubbing in
the butter separately. Mix at night,
Y and set in a warm place, where
the temperature will be even, but do
not put it where it will be hot enough
toscald, or where you would not hold
your hand for an indefinite length of
time. In the morning knead for at
least fifteen minutes. Set away to Prise
again, and do not hurry the process.
When the rolls are wanted for a New
England tea at 6 p. m, the dough is
generally kneaded again at 2 p. m.
Then it is rolled out about a half inch
thick, is cut with biscuit cutter and
folded over, roll fashion, with a small
feck of butter inserted in each one.
They are placed in the baking pan, are
covered to keep from draught, and are
allowed to rise slowly, and then baked.

together, till they are very light. Add

in a sieve with a teaspoonful Of cream
Of tartar and half as much soda, now
sitt the same into the egg mixture.
The dough is to be spread out to about
half an inch thickness and baked rather
slowly, so that the process may occupy
about twenty five minutes. While ii
Is baking the pineapple is prepared by
peeling, removing all the eyes and
core, pounding the pulp to apaste, and
adding the right quantity of sugar for
sWeetening. This is splead over the
sponge cake to thickness of about a
quarter of an inch, and upon it is
poured a meringue, made by beating
the whites Of three eggs to q stiff froth
with three Gablespoonfuls of powdered

juice. After the meringue is spread
over the pineapple, the cake is set back
l the oven and allowed to cook SLOWLY
for ten minutes, when it is taken out
allowed to cool, and is then ready fol-

send a shaft of death through the heart
Of the unsuspecting and happy bride
groom.
"At last his opportunity came. AS
the happy pair rowed past he let fly an
arrow on its errand of death. But
alas! he had not calculated in his
1endish endeavor for Wauchula's mo-
tion in rowing the boat, and the shaft,
passing him, went through the heart
of the beautiful maiden, who fell with
a scream, dead at the feet of her
lover.
ut was some moments before the
gay throng could realize what had hap
pened. But when the facts did become
known such Wailing and bowling went
up as only the Indian is capable of.
Never was such CONSERVATION known
never was such grief shown. This
sudden loss of their idol was more than
they could bear. The disconsolate
bride groom fell speeches. over the
PROSTATE form of his lifelong COM
panion, sister and bride.
with the feetness of a deer the
cruel murderer had fed not knowing
what his ruthless shaft had done. But
with equal feetness hundreds of braves
we're soo upon his trail, and before
the moon went down, on being told
what he had done, he at once became a
raving maniac and his moanful wall
ings were heard for miles around.
In the large mound at the junction
of Tar River and Lynch's Creek the
remains of the Indian idol YER laid to
rest, with all the customary ceremonies
of the Indian burial, and the different
tribes returned to their villages with
mournful hearts and downcast heads.
1.-THE remorseful culprit was duly
tried, condemned to death, and was
carried before the aged and grief
stricken arroW-maker to suggest what
fortunes should be inflicted before
death. But waving his hands to the
guards, he said: DO not kill him,
death is no punishment-only relief.
Unbind him and let him go that he may
suffer the pangs of remorse the balance
of his days, and may the Great Spirit
prolong his days forever
"And tradition says that he never
died, that he still wanders over the
hills around Kittrell, and that on the
full moon in September, those visiting
the spot of the murder, can yet hear
his mournful wailings as they rever-
berate up and down the little valley.
But the less superstitious think that
these sounds are only caused by the
blowing of the wind in this peculiar
shaped valley"
Such was the old mans story. I
have some of the pretty arrow-heads
said to have been polished by Kinneeta.
I prize them very highly.

TRUTH WITHOUT FRILLs.

The man who buries his talent kills
himself.
A soft nswer will win where a club
would fail.
Afool empties his head every time
he opens his mouth.
If some men had a bulldogs teeth
they would Guido him in biting.
Many a man who is anxious to re-
form the world has a gate that is hang
ing by one hinge.
AT least n woman in five believes
that if she had been in EYES place
Adam would be in the garden yet.
The world is not dying because there
is not more preaching, but because
there is so little practice, -Ram's
Horn.

The people of this country read with
much interest yesterday morning the
remarkable interview in which 1t was
stated positively that General Harrison
was not q candidate for the Presidency,
and would under no circumstances &C
cept q nomination. even II unanimously
rendered him by the Republican con-
vention. Last night, however, it was
flashed across the wires from Syracuse,
N. Y, that the whole alleged interview
was fake OF the first water and that
General Harrison had not spoken con-
corning the Presidency either directly
or Indirectly. This means of course
that the ex-President is still in the ring
for the nomination by the National Re-
publican convention, snd that he will
give the other candidates lively tussle
