City, | November 2Mb. ) With five days to spend on board this Hosting bat si down the Mississippi river, something must be done to psss time. Having exb.twtnd onr atora^of entertain- nsents the Bret two dsya, and being so oompletely abut out from the landscape eoenery when in the oabin, there is noth ing to do bnt to look at each other, and Bi tt>st slao hsa been done very thorough fjr, we gladly aeoept the invitation of oar traveling companion to writs up ths trip. 80, to braak the monotony of ateamboat- ing, we are seated to do so. Hhoold this Had its way into the ENquiuxu, I trust the above in anffleient apology of what may follow. Old Boreas gave ns bia parting blast the last twenty-four hours of our stay io Baiat Louis, in tbo shape of an old-faab- fconad anow storm—one of the pelting, driving sort, beating into tho smallest cracks about the house, and sifting itself Into impansible orevioea, howling aronnd eoraars, and swooping over honae-topa with a fury that threatened to carry every, tiling before it. This set in about 7 o’clock on Friday evening, and raged with unabated violence until noon of Satur day. Bhow shovels and patent sweopors wars brought into use, street ours ploughed their way through by four horses dragging them slowly along, gen tinman waded knee-deep in anow to tboir places of business, and ladios kept oloso within dobra. But what larks for the boytl! 1 How impatient they were to get into it; how they rolled and tumbled Bbput in the “beautiful auowhow they snow-balled and aleded and coasted, built forts and froaa their ears and toes, and how they didn't care but made a day of it) in spita of Jack FroHt'H piuoboa. We found onr way to the Capitol City St B. r. the hoar advertised for atart- . fog—but owing to the aoverity of the Storm a delay of two Iioush was necessary. Wa concluded to go on duck before tho gbadea of night had wholly fallen, and taka a survey of affairs, but the heavy clouds of smoke and mist hanging so low about ua, gavo us but little chance of aeelhg far. The heaving of tho black water of the great Mississippi under us, and hundreds of monster steamers thun dering oft steam, shrieking their whiatlos, and ringing their bells around us, min gled with the wild, weird aoug of tho ne gro boat hands in loading, gave the sur roundings a strange aspect, and oaused ono to feel as though they had embarked and set sail for Bomo terrible unknown shore- . And as wo peered through tho mist to get a last look at that wonderful bridge—its great high arches stretched so far above ns—that wo oould think of nothing bnt the vory gate-way to perdi tion) 00 dark and doop and high, so awe inspiring sud frightful did it all seem. Of how we extrioated ourselves from this solid msaa of boats in tho dark, wo shall never know. Du account of tho low wntar at this season of tho year, tho pilots Sio obliged to bo exceedingly careful, SO we moved alowly and apparently under greet dHBesity. Tho engine groaued and breathed hard—soemed to loose breath entirely—recovered and tried it again, and did BO many naboard-oi things that vivid Visions of Mississippi disasters rose up before ns. that bad anything but a sooth ing effect. Yet we retired, hoping to fall into aweot forgotfuluoss, but the unsteady motion and sudden stops oaused us, with Same alarm, to call out, “What is that ?” very freq.mitly. Our oompauion on the top shelf eeorued quite well poeted, at least he always had an answor ready whioh quieted, if not Ratified, us, longs and Bpiash of the boat he would say Waa “sounding;” another sudden wheel aronnd and dead atop, waa “hunt- isg the ohannel." Than canto a alow grating, dragging rnotiou, with every joint craoking and splitting, as though tho whole oonoern was about to tumble to pieces with the engine moaning and groaning like a groat aea-monstor in his last dying agonies. “Well, what upon earth is that?” we asked, with olosed eyes and hands folded in peseefnl resignation, for it was just vbat we kail expected to couie to. “Thst's a depression of Rteam, shallow Wllir and crushing of mermaids’ bones.” “Then we are at the bottom, ain’t we ?” Bat no reply came from tho shelf, bnt a deep, heavy breathing—he bad dropped •ff in Ike midst of eo much peril. Bat the Sabbath morning dawned and fcWOgU* with it more glittering splendor than human eyes uro often permitted to gase upon, the bright morniug aun ilium* inating the enow-clad bills and bringing distinotly out each twig and spray—the tiniest bearing its full burden, aud claim ing its foil share of glory. Wo steamed down this fairy laud for miles and miles, and thought how truly had wo seen the old adage verified that ‘ ‘Every cloud has a silver lining.” We glided ao gently and pleasantly out of the dead of winter into the genial Southern Hammer clime, that we never knew how or when we left it; but at Mem phis found the foliago green, and dowers blooming in tbo open air. Wo tied up four hours at Memphis; took hack, and did the city—a thriving place, with street oars, fino stores, and many beautiful resi dences. >Ve wore struck with the holi day appearance of this place. While all plaoes of business were open, so many able-bodied men, of all shades of com plexion, were standing around street cor ners, sitting on boxes or bundles, or propping up substantial buildings, with both hands in their pockets, or •^Ndng themselves at full length P»rh—In short, U seemed ” * ^nxitual election day in Ml Southern uiu«, . n a a. „ w ^ over miles of untilled fields, mud had thousands of dollars worth of at home by some corner-loungers—if they should be arrested unless they could prove some visible means of support. The sixth day brought us to Viekabnrg. la we neared that city of hiatorio renown we aseended to the pilot house in order to view It, Proudly and defiantly ►he aits upon the hills, with fortification above, below and on every fide of her, looking as though she would keep the whole world at bay forever. How did the Federal troops ever get possession of such a stronghold? Onr answer lay on the blnff at the left of the city,where sleep in death sixteen thousand five hundred and eighty-eight Union soldiers. The graves of soldiers are acatlered throughout the land, and the Government or individuals guard them with tender, care. The location of the Federal ceme tery at Vicksburg is beautiful, and the grounds are kept in excellent order. The officer on crotches in charge said the Gov* eminent made no appropriation for hot house plants, but he had erected one, and solicited plants from his Northern friends, and exchanged cuttings with the Vicks burg ladies, until he bad quite a fine col* lection of beautiful flowers Mr. Ban* croft, the historian, has so truthfully said, “We Imi’d monuments to our dead, but no monuments to victory. We respect the example of the Uomans, who never, in conquered lands, raised emblems of triumph. Our Generals are not to be classed in the herd of vulgar, blood thirsty warriors. They have used the sword only to givo peace to their country and restore her to her place in the great assembly of nations.” THE UIT HBINA0C. He sat upon an oaken stump, HU ftiMlo In his band, And gored upon the window sill, To see her soiall white hand, That rested there so lovingi y—■ • It made his great heart stand. He murmured, “My Mary, love, Art thinking, sweet, of me? Would 1 had wings, new, as a bird— Like a llttlo bird, so Ireo— I'd ll? up to thy window, love, And sing a song for thee." lie placed his fiddle ’neatU Ills chin, And stralghteuod up to play, Aud “Molllo Darling” was tbo song— Hut not upon that dsy Was heard along those bottom lands That sweet, affecting play. He heard the window gontly raise ; His bow he gently pressed, And then looked up to catch a smile,. Aud wateh her heaving breast— When, splash, went wul»r on his l'aco, And on his .Sunday best. She gnrod awhile, and heard a sigh, Tbon slowly went below, A nd smote hor lireart, aud falterod out, “Alas ! 1 didn’t know !" , A ll that was loft of that serenade, Was a lonesome Addle bow. 11c staid at home and fiddled not Until he had forgot her. And thus tho romance of his life, Was ended by oold water. I Leavenworth Timet. Fin ED Cakes.—1 coffee-cup sour cream and milk together, $ cup of sweet milk, 1 cup sugar, !) eggs, 1 nutmeg, 1 teaspoon- ful soda, mix very soft. In roasting poultry, oue thickness of writing or nice brown wrapping paper, tied around the wings and drumsticks, will keep them from boiug baked to a crisp and spoiled. Flavor for Frosting.—In froeliug for oaken or puddings, u little lemon jaioe, tartaric acid or cream of tartar is a very pleaHont midilion to the tAHte, besides making the frosting much lighter. Guauam Muffins.—1 egg, a little sugar, 1 pint sour milk, 1 teaspoonful of soda, flour enough to thickou; bake iu a quick oven. 2 or fi spoonfuls of Hour cream with the milk improves them. (1knof.se Pudding.—2 eggs, their weight in butter, sugar niul flour, stoned ralaiuH and nutmeg to the taste. Bub the butter aud sugar to the cream, add the nutmeg. Butter a bowl, put in the rai- aius, thou pour in the mixture, cover the bowl with a cloth, and boil for two hours. Eat hot with wine sauce. Breakfast Dishes.— Ih cooking oat meal, hominy, whoaten grits, cracked wheat, or any of those nice breakfast dishes, cook it iu a covored tiu dish set iu a kettle of boiling water: in this manner, there in uo danger of soorohmg. Corn starch pudd.ug, scnmoHR, farina, and all other art idea mixed with milk, can be oooked iu the same way. Hop Yeast.—A lady who took tho first prsmiutu offered by tbe Middlesex, Mass., Agricultural Society for the best unbolted wheat flour bread, made the following statement concerning tho youst used: “For yeast take 4 manhed potatoes, 1 cup white sngar, 1 oup flour, uud pour ou this mixture 1 quart scalding water in which a handful of hops has beeu boiled; then add 1 piut lukewarm water, stir, straiu aud let it riso over night.” Spanish Cream —1 and £ pinth of milk poured ou £ an ouuoe of gelatine (Cox’s is bent), to soak one hour, fl eggs and 4 tablospoonfuls sugar; beat sugar aud yelk* together aud pour into the boiliug milk ; let it boil 1 minute, then pour this mixture ou whites of the eggs which have boon previously well beaten and placed in the mould. Flavor with vauiila. Serve oold with cream. This is a very elegaut desert, or dish for the tea-t.»ble. Fruit Cake.—1 cup strong coffee, 1 cop dark brown sugar, 1 cun molasses, 1 lb. raUius, 1 lb. currants, 1 lb. oitron, 1 nut meg, 1 tablespoouful cinnamon, a table- spoonful cloves, 1 egg, $ cupful of but ter, 4 cupfuls of flour, 1 toa*poonful soda, heaped. Flour the fruit aud add lust; bake iu a small tiu pnu ; aud if put in a tin box, this cake will keep a year. Al ways butter a sheet of foalacsp and place in the bottom of tho cako.pau, having the ends sticking up, aud when the cake is done, it can ho lifted out by the paper. Oyster Fib —50 ovstore, 2 eggs, 2 tea- spoonfuls of flour, | lb. of butter, a little vinogar, chopped parsley, nutmeg, pep per, aalt, and pastry. Heat tho eggs until they are light, drain the oysters from their liquor, put them in a atew-pau, and let thorn simmer five miuutes. Melt the butter, aud stir the flour into it perfectly smooth. To the butter add the beaten eggs, parsley, nutmeg, pepper, salt, and vinogar. Mix well, aud to this add tho oysters. Let thorn aimmer together for 10 miuutea, thou put into the paste. Place in the oven immediately aud bake. —Thousands of parcuts govern their children simply and solely for thoir owu luxury and conveniouce, aud take uo pains to smooth the tones of their voice, or to measure their action. The thought of courtesy iu their dealiugs with thoir childreu is almost dismissed from their mind. 1 have seen children insulted grossly by pareuts that nature in me said, “The pareuts ought to be severely pun ished,” whilo grace iu me said, “No, no ; they oi ly might to be reproved and tsugbt better.’ because God leut a little child to you, he did not lend it to you to be a rug for you to wipe your feet on; he did not lend it to you to bo a slave, to run on errands, merely; he did not lend it to yon to practice your cruelty aud irritable- ness on. That child was God's before it was yours. It was only placed in yonr hands for a little time; aud if every parent felt, on addressing a child, “There is something of divinity in it as well as in me,” I think it would purge our families of uach of the ill-government that is in oi moon oi ute ui-governmc provisions carried up the steep bluffs to H.

In commenting upon the failure of Mr. J. Y. Boammon of Chicago, as a newspa per manager, MeCullagb of the 8t. Louis (ilolx, one of tho most successful journal ists of ths West, tells a plain truth iu tba following words; “The businesa of jouroaliain will con tinue to be an inviting field for experi ment to thoee who hove a large amount of money and a large amount of egotism. A man who, having edited a newspaper nntil he was forty, should suddenly an nounce himself a lawyer, would be re garded e fool by the legal profession; and yet we often hear of lawyers of forty making sudden pretenaiona to journalism. There is an idea that the business of edit ing requires no apprenticeship; that edi tors come forth from law offices and col lages fully armed for the profession, like l’sllas from the brow of Jove. It is a mistake ; there is not in America to-day a single journalist of national reputation who has not devoted uiore time and more bard work to hie profession than, with equal fitness aud application, would have mads him a great lawyer or good dootor. And yet uinety out of every hundred men you meet on the street will hesitate about aarrying a hod or making a pair of shoes, whereas there will probably not be oue in a hundred who can't, according to bis own judgment, edit any newspaper in the country better than it ia edited, no matter in what manner or by whom.” The Value or A Good Nxwspapbk.-- The recent eale of a controlling interest in the Chioago Tritium at the valuation of $1,000,000, which makes the market valne of the stock 300 per oeut, affords another conspicuous illustration of tba troth of the assertion that there ie no property so valuable as a good newspaper property. Even at the valuation of $1,000,000, despite its lavish outlays for news, par ticularly in the tclegraphio department, aud notwithstanding tho fact tbut all its stockholders draw salaries, the Tributu has, for several years past, paid its share holders Ifi per cent., or Hl.W.OOO a year. Nor is this an axoeesive rate of profit from a journalistic investment. How many men would gladly venture $100,000 or more in a mining company which, at beat, oould not ba expected to pey more than sight or ten per cent., with a very strong probability of loss? —^Writing poetry for the warie basket ia putting oBaa aonl into ffords that bum. —If your neighbor offends you don't quarrel with him, nor put a dog in bia i «•!!; but boy hU boy a mv dram. 541 HOURS TO HEW YORK WMtKfeN RAII.HOAD 0T ALABAMA, OcaAs sv., as.. s*i>t. laih, isi«.
