A SONG OF THE CAMP.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.
“Give us a song ! ” the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of the camp allied
Grew weary of bomba-ding.
The dark Redan in silent scoff
Lay grim aud threatening under;
And the tawny mound of the Malakoff
No longer belched its thunder.
There was a pause. A guardsman said :
“We storm the forts to-morrow ;
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough oi sorrow.”
Then lay along the battery’s side,
Below the smoking cannon,
Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannou.
They sang of love, and not ol fame ;
Forgot was Briton’s glory ;
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sang, “Annie Laurie.”
Voice after voice caught up the song
Uatil its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong—
Their battle eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
But, as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldier’s check
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunset’s embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again a fire of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
With stream of shot and burst oi shell,
And bellowing of the mortars !
And Irish Nora’s eyes arc dim
For a singer dumb and gory ;
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of “Annie Laurie.”
Sleep, soldiers! still iu houored rest
Your truth and valor wearing;
The bravest are the lenderest—
The loving are the daring.
A GOLDEN WEDDING.
For some time the stewards of the
M. E. Church, at Rome, have been
making preparations for the celebra
tion of the golden wedding of their
pastor, Dr. J. E. Evans, and his wife,
Parmelia Mays Evans. Last night
was the fiftieth anniversary of the
marriage of this aged couple, and a
great number of persons assembled
at the parsonage to witness the cere
mony of the golden wedding. The
parsonage was beautifully decorated
throughout with flowers, and in the
parlor there was suspended the
golden marriage belL It was beau
tiful in design, and under it the cou
ple stood during the short and ap
propriate addresses delivered hi’ the
Revs J. T. Gihson and G. A. Nun
nelly. No young couple standing at
the altar to be joined together as
man and wife, ever looked happier
than did these two persons standing
under the golden bell. The orange
blossoms which adorned the fair brow
of Parmelia Mays, when, fifty years
ago she promised to love, cherish and
obey her husband, are still fresh, and
the kiss imprinted on her lips by
her husband at the conclusion of the
interesting ceremony, was as affec
tionate as the first kiss oi love. Ma
ny were the congratulations by
friends and relatives. A great many
presents were sent in, both by friends
at a distance and at home. After par
taking heartily of sumptuous re
freshments, the guests departed with
the sincere wish that the couple may
live to celebrate their diamond wed
ding.— Borne Courier .
Tne Atlanta Constitution says:
“Judge John D. Cunningham who
lives at West End, put into his fish
pond about eighteen months ago, a
dozen and a half of German carp, not
more than two inches long. He has
three ponds, one above the other,
and he put th 9 carp in the upper
pond. On last Satulday he drew off
the lower pond, and was surprised to
find a very large carp iu the pond.
There was only one. It must have
escaped from the upper pond. The
judge has it in the basin of his foun
tain in his front yard, and it is a great
curiosity. It weighs four pounds
and is a very fine looking fi*h. In
the pond that was drawn off the
Judge had some fine trout not more
than half as long as the carp. The
trout had been in the pond seven
years. Unless the ballanee of the
carp have escaped from the Judge’s
upper pond, he will have a full sup*
ply in another year.
The first steam vessel that ever
crossed the Atlantic ocean was the
Savannah, an American vessel sail
ing under the American flag. She
started from Savannah, Ga., for Liv
erpool, England, on May 22, 1819,
being the first passage by steam ever
attempted. Shearrived in Liverpool
oo June 22, having consumed her
fuei in ten days.

USEFUL RECIPES.
From “The Household.”
Old potatoes may be freshened up
by plunging them into cold water be
fore cooking them.
Never wash raisins that are to be
used in sweet dishes. It will make
the pudding heavy. To clean them
with a dry towel.
When anything is accidentally
made too salt it can be counteracted
by adding a teaspoonful of vinegar
aod a teaspoonful of sugar.
In boiling dumplings of any kind
put them into the water one at a
time. If they are put in together
they will mix with each other.
In boiling eggs hard, put them in
boiling water ten minutes, and then
put them in cold water. It will pre
vent the yolks from coloring black.
Potatoes at any time of the year
can be made mealy if boiled in salt
water and drained and then covered
with a thick towel in the back of the
range five minutes.
Jelly molds should be greased with
cold butter. When you wish to re
move the jelly or pudding plunge
the mold into hot water, remove
quickly, and the contents will come
out in perfect form and without any
trouble.
To wash red table linen use tepid
water, with a little powdered borax
(borax sets the color); wash the linen
separately and quickly, using very
little soap; rinse in tepid water con
taining a little boiled starch ; hang to
dry in the shade; iron when almost
dry.
Cutlets and steaks may be fried as
well as broiled, but they must lie put
in hot butter or lard. The grease is
hot enough when it throws off a
blackish smoke.
Good flour is not tested by its color.
White flour may not be the best.
The test of good flour is the amount
of water it absorbs.
In cooking a fowl, to ascertain
whether it is done, put the skewer
into the breast, and if the breast is
tender, the fowl is done.
Sing’e rrpam is cream that Lae
stood on the milk twelve hours. It
is the best for tea and coffee. Double
cream stands on the milk twenty four
hours, and cream for butter frequent
ly stands forty-eight hours. Cream
that is to whipped should not be but
ter cream, lest in whipping it should
change to butter
To remove old paint, cover with a
wash of three parts quick stone lime,
slaked in water to which one part of
pearlash is added. Allow the coating
to remain for sixteen hours, when
the paint may be easily scraped off.
Iron or steel immersed in a solution
of carbonate of potash or soda for a
few minutes will not rust for years,
not even when exposed to a damp
atmosphere.
A thin coat of varnish applied to
straw’ matting will make it much
more durable and keep the matting
looking fresh aud new. White var
nish should be used on white mat-*
ting. Use skim milk for washing
oil cloths, instead of soap and water.
Poor flour should never be bought
for bread; the best is the cheapest.
Pans for wheat bread should be greas
ed very lightly, either with butter or
lard ; for rye, Indian or graham, they
must greased more thoroughly, as
the dough clings to the pans more.
Bread or anything containing much
starch should be eaten slowly. A
crust of French bread eaten very
slowly at the beginning of a meal of
ten im proves the appetite of deln-ate
people.
Boiled fowl Withs tuce over which
grate the yolk of eggs, is a magnifi
cent dish for luncheon.
Thp reason why c tbbage emits such
a disagreeable smell when boiling, is
because the process dissolves the es
sential oil. The water should be
changed when the cabbage is half
boiled, and it will thus acquire a
greater sweetness.
To make macaroni tender, put it
in cold water and bring ir. to boil. It
will then be much more tender than
if put into hot water or stewed in
milk.
In making sauce, put the butter
and flour in together, aud the sauce
wilt never be lumpy.
The yolk f eggs binds the crust
much better tnau the whites. Apply
it to the edges with a brush.
Whenever the sauce boils from the
sides of the pans you may know the
flour or corn starch is done.
Beeswax aod so l l wid m.k fl.
rous as clean stud smooth as gi •>.
Tie a lump of wax in a rag and keep
it for that purpose. When the irons
are hot rub them with the wax rag,
then scour with a paper or rag sprin
kled with salt.
Black cotton gloves will not crock
the hands if scalded in salt and wa
ter before wearing. The salt pre
vents fading. When almost dry, one
should put them on, in order to
stretch them and keep them in good
shape.
Housekeepers will find that zincs
may be scoured with great economy
of time and strength by using either
glycerine or creosote mixed with a
little diluted sulphuric acid.
Glue frequently cracks because of
the and ryness of the air in rooms warm
ed by stoves. An Austrian paper
recommends the addition of a little
chloride of calcium to glue to pre
vent this.
Chapping of the hands, which is
oue of the most disagreeable incon
veniences of cold weather, can be
easily prevented by rubbing the
hands with powdered starch.
You will not be troubled with car
pet moths, if you scrub your floors
with hot brine before tacking the
carpet down, and once a week scrub
your carpets with coarse .salt.
A certain cure :or a felon is to
wind a cloth loosely about the finger,
leaving the end free. Pour In com- j
mort gunpowder till the afflicted part
is entirely covered. Keep the whole
wet with strong spirits of camphor.
To remove grease stains from wood:
Spread some starch powder over tne
grease spots, and then go over it
with a hot flat-iron till you have
drawn the grease; then scrape with
a glass or a proper scraper, and re
peat the starch powder and hot iron.
Ammonia liquor may be used as a
finish, if the starch does not take all
the grease out.
Steel knives may be saved from
rusting by being rubbed with mutton
tallow, wrapped in paper, and put
into a blaize lined chest.
The water used in mixing bread
must be tepid. If it is too hot, the
loaf will be full of great holes.
To boil potatoes successful!} 7 : When
the skin breaks, pour off the water
and let them finish cooking in their
own steam.
In making a crust of any kind, do
not melt the iard iu flour. Melting
will injure the crust.

EDISON’S ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Edison says the electric light, upon
which he has been working so long,
is now perfected in all its branches
It will now be given to the public.
Everything is in readiness for its
general use. The light is to be intro
duced in Newark, Chicago, Detroit,
Toronto, Cincinnati and Washington.
As to New York, he is reported in
the £"n as saying :
“The trouble here is that we are
awaiting the permission of common
council to lay down our wires. We
had a resolution before the old board,
but through political squabbles the
board ran out of existence before ac
tion could be taken. The new coun
cil has at last been organized, and
been broken up into committees, and
permission to lay down our wires
will probably be sought at the next
meeting. Some of our directors an
ticipate trouble in obtaining the re
quired permission, but I trunk time
will demonstrate (heir mistake. We
claim to be public benefactors. We
offer the householders a cheaper and
better light than gas,and pledge our
selveto put in all the fixtures and to
furnish the light for a specified time
free of charge, and to remove it if it
is do! satisfactory ’’
Mr. J. H. 8-'‘ocke.r, who lives on
the Blmjiitvilb road, si me four miles
west of Bri tol, has a daughter, Miss
Fannie, who is about 17 years old.
Last fad he told her she might sell
the butter she made over what tin*
family used. Miss Fannie went to
work with a will, arid saved some
200 pounds of butter, and fattened
two hogs on the extra buttermilk,
and made about S6O or S7O of pin
motiey. Such a girl is a jewel. Take
notice, boys. Her father has been a
constant reader of the Courier since
its first Issue, and pays promptly for
it - Bristol ( Term.) Courier.

THE LANGUAGE OF SWEET
SIXTEEN.
“A word fitly spoken,” says the
proverb, “is like apples of gold in
pictures of silver.” There is a eu
phony of language that is the rhythm
of speech, and it transforms ordinary
words into flashing gems of thought.
At present the happy medium of ex
pression is lost sight of in two ex
tremes which mark the age. One is
known as the Higher Cult. Its vo
taries carry lotus lillies in their pale,
thin hands, have a sad, faraway look
in their hollow eyes and are intense.
What is that? We do not know,
neither do they, unless it is to have a
craze about spelling all words begin
ning with C with a capital K. learn
ing the delirium of old china, and
analyzing Tyrian dyes They artic
ulate, respond and affirm, but never
talk. The commonest thing any
member of that aesthetic band ever
says is, when posed before some
graven image set up on a black
velvet back ground, the worshipper
of Japan tea pots murmurs, “This is
too utterly sweet !”
The next extreme is that the
fair leminine youth of America, in
this and other cities, who have orig
inated a language of their own or as
a true exponent of their system
would call it a “s’language” which is
used in their clique circles, but not in
the bosoms of their families or within
ear shot of a parent or teacher.
iK My daughter never uses slang,”
says some staid paterfamilias, who is
denouncing the idea that the Ameri
can young lady speak* any other than
the purest college-taught English,
and he is sincere iu his belief. But
should some curious senior, with an
e;e to the truth, linger near this
young lady and her school friends,
ten to one this is an exact and not
overdrawn description of what he
would heat:
“Meet roe on the aye’ this aft’ and
we will go to the aiat’.”
“No! not this aft’ on the
“ Well, good aft!”
“I had a perfectly mag’ time, and
don’t you forget it.”
“Don’t give me away, Kate.”
“Well, I should softly exclaim.”
“I shou and blu h to murmur.”
“I should remark.”
“I should mutter.”
“I should smile.”
“Are you going to the mus.cale ?”
“Yf u just bet I am.”
“Have you got your lesson in
i ) hysira! geogre p by?”
“What do you take me for?”
“I told the Guv’ I wanted anew
handkerchief dress.”
“Did he tumble to the racket?”
“Did he trail?”
“Did he catch on?”
“He forked over, girls, and its my
treat.”
These are the sweet girl graduates
who stand up in the month of roses
and read charming essays cn “The
Real and the Ideal,” “Life as it
should be,” “Reforms” and other
practical subjects and who turn from
admiring teachers to whom they have
listened with tear.: in their mock-se
rious eyes, to say in a low aside,
“He’s giving ua taffy, girls,” and
who cristen everything that does not
please them as “snide.”
This period of slang among achool
girls is infectious. They catch it just
as they did the measles or the whoop
ing cough at an earner age, and it
runs its course and leaves them about
as harmlessly. Their good, proper
mothers and grandmothers said all
their lives, ‘will you tske walk?”
The “Dare-to-be-a Da del” of ( h<s
age says to her chum “take a crawl
on the sve? ( ’
After all, it is not a matter for
prayers or legislation, but rather a
cheapening of tnes ciety idioch-s of
u more exalted type, which Punch
caricatures.
“rio ghul to see you, Mr. Brown.”
“So glad you’re glad, Mrs. Smith.”
‘ So glad you’re glad I’m glad. Mr t
Brown,” etc., etc.
There is more slang than seose in
nur universal salutation, which lakes
the form of an inquiry
“How and you do?”
The literal answer to which would
be;
“D > wha;?”
The irrelevant r-spouse to which is
usually, “nicely,” ot “I'm very w and,

FOREPAUGH’S PRIZE BEAUTY.
A correspondent or the Cincinnati
Enquirer writes the following? from
Monongahela City, Penn: The re
ception of the intelligence in this
prosy little town that Adam Fore
paugh had chosen from among sev
eral thousand photographs of beau
tiful American women that of Misa
Annie Pauline Scott, of Monongabela
City, as being the nearest approach
to ideal perfection in form and feature,
has caused a buzz and ripple of ex
citement. The offer of Mr. Fore
paugh, it will ba remembered, was
SIO,OOO to the most beautiful, woman
iu America, and it was his design
that she should reign as queen of
beauty in hia traveling circus. Your
correspondent deeming that a de
scription of Miss Scott would be of
interest, paid a visit to her, and, ex
plaining that as she had entered into
the arena as a professional beauty,
begged leave to make a superficial
examination of her claims to the title
of the most beautiful woman, to
which the lady laughingly assented.
Now to the description: Miss Scott
possesses a form tall and shapely. It
is not the airy, fleecy, filmy, ethereal
nothing that Olive Log&u ascribes to
Sara Bernhardt, but a realistic, tan
gible form. Her shoulders are
rounded; her bosom is full and undu
lating. and her waist symmetrical,
filling her bodies nicely and seeming
superlatively hugable. In carriage
she is at once easy and graceful. ,
Her face in some respects reminds
one of the late Adelaide Nei:son ; it
in fair as the lillies, and the cheeks
are tinged with a delicate, pearly
pink. Her features ar strikingly
regular and classical and of the gro
eian type, save perhaps the nose,
which curves gracefully from the
aquiline, and ve gen upon what is
generally termed the American fern*
inine n;se. Her lips are full and ex
pressive, of a bright Vermillion
and when severed by h smile reveal
double row of- teeth that are typical
in their regularity and dazzling
whiteness. Her eyes are large and
full, of a dark brown color. With
hue ms often as summer cloudy too,
if for no other reason than they are
so soft and shadowy. Her eyebrows
are most delicately curved, and her
long, sweeping eyelashes add in ten*
sity and at times a half meianchody
languor to the orbs over w teh ?• y
keep senunel. Her h dr, whieu is
long wavy *.'•■* bund-inf, Is of a
glossy M>.ck, and possesses that silky
texture which is such it pleasant
contrast, to the usual dead ebony we
so often meet. One cannot look at
such hair, and see the golden sun
shine rippling through it, like fairies
playing at “bo-peep,” without re
calling, by a singular association of
ideas, Lizzie Hexam, the child of
Dickens’ fancy. Altogether, Mias
Scott is an ideal picture of fair femi
ninity, gifted with glowing charms
and robust. An artist for one of the
Eastern illustrated papers visited this
place a day or two ago and made a
sketch of the young beauty from life.
Your correspondent would like to
stop right, there, but it won’t do.
Miss Scott is the niece of John Ryan,
a miner, and they abide in
rather a dilapidated house.
ALTERED TIMES.
In the year 1671, on the second
reading of a bili in the House of Com-,
moos for building a bridge over the
Thames, at Putney, af*er a number
of members had delivered speech
in ridicule of the idea, Sir Henry
Herbert, ju-.t before the Houne divid
