Cane and Grape Sugar.—Pro

valuable bit of domestic information:
"Cano sugar is two and one half
times as sweet as grape sugar, close*
ly allied to it, and differs so httl from
it that some persons cannot distin
guish it, By cooking, the cone su
gar may be changed to grape sugar,
and thus loso its sweetening power.
Sinne women put the sugar in with a
mass of acid fruit to be cooked, and
keep cooking and add ng sugar while
it keeps on growing sourer, until at
last they use two and one half tiaies
as much sugar as they no. and to secure
the desired result. The cane sugar
has been changed to grape sugar;
now if the sugar had been added af
tor tho fruit was cooked, much less
would have been required, and the
result would have been far more sat

by removing the thin reddish skin in
which they are enveloped, and fill a
tin tray to the depth of about an inch.
Pour over them the Lot candy as
above directed, stirring the meats
that each one may be covered. A
little less candy should be csed than
will suffice to cover the mass ol
meats, though each separate one
should he coated, the object being
to use just enough of the candy to
cause the meats to adhere firmly to
each other, thus forming a large
cake, which, w hen nearly cold, may
be cut in squares or bars with a
sharp knife. Almonds, deprived of
tlmir skins, or the meats of any nuts
may be used in a similar manner.

Vegetable matter is an indespensa-
It'.c flomeutsol soil ferti ity. I’lants
may be grown in a s<>il containing no
vegetable matter whatever, but there
can be no such thing as successful
propping on a soil where this c 1 ment
of fertility is wanting. Any system
of farming, therefore, is defective
which docs not embrace, in some
form, the annual return of vegetable
matter, to replace its constant ex
haustion under continued cultiva
tion. The failure to do this will ac
count for the unsatisfactory results
which frequently attend the use of
concentrated fertilizers. What wo
pieqn to say is, that in nine cases out
pf ten, where genuine fertilizer fails
to meet expectations, the failure is
duo to a deficiency of vegetable mat
ter in the soil.

A HEADING LESSON,
They sat in a dusky corner,
Taming tho leaves of a hook,
O’er each picture fair,
Or legend there,
Bending with eager look.
Sbo was a modest maiden,
And ho was a timid youth,
And the volume they viow
Together—those two
Is a bit of fiction, forsooth,
An there wasn’t as pretty a picture
In all tho book, I’ll engage,
As tire one that leaned—
By the twilight screened—
Well over the printed page;
His tresses with hers so Wending
They turned to a brighter shade,
White tho cheek of tho youth
Was in very truth
As led as tho cheek oi the maid.
Tho shadows began to deepen,
The printed pago was a blur,
Yet he did not closo
The book nor propose
Ah'hango of employment to her.
Their hands together had met,
In tho same war m clasp,
More than friendly grasp,
They lingered and lingered yet.
For neoded they for a moment,
In each other’s face to look,
For tho secret guessod
Was at once confe sea,
And each hi at t was an open book.

liE HONEST.
Young men, just commencing
life’s turbulent career in whatever
pursuit —whether in the free, man
ly industry of the farm and work
shop, in the professional, or hazard
ous and wearing ruercancantile uni*
dertaki.igs—let me say to you be
honest. You have doubtless been
told this in print and by word since
your earliest recolection. But
iiave you realized the full import
ot its meaning—of what vital im
portance it is to your whole future
career ? In brief it amounts to this ;
If you wish to succed, to be hap
py and respected, then he honest,
freely and heartily, for principle’s
and honesty’s sake. It you wish
to go down to ruin, shame and
dishonor, then be dishonest, un
truthful tricky, and yonr wishes
wili be speedily realized. You
may see times when the tempora
ry success of unprincipled under
takings may allure, but*be not de
ceived lie firm as a rock for
truth and right, and you will find
yourself on the rising road to fort
une and to fame when their rotten
stincturo are toplirig to distruction.
If you are intrusted by others witli
their intetestsand business, prove
worthy of the trust in every par
ticular. Yo will have hard battles
to light, but keep up your con age
and stick to principles of right. Let
not the holi-gilded allurements of
the practices and amusements ol
those who spend inoro money use
lessly eacli week than their wages
amount to ever lead you from a
firm detenninatien to he honest
and manly, and you cannot help
but succeed. You may oftentimes
find yourself spurned, neglected,
and those less worthy promoted
over you, but let this not swerve
you. In time your success, your
upward career, will bo all the
speedier, all the more glorious.
Never missrepresent to make “a
sale. Never advorttse a humbug,
falsehood or colorable statement,
Be frank, gentlemanly and honest,
and charge for your labor and pro
diice all they are worth, just what
you can afford to take and you will
find plenty to appreciate, plenty
to patronize.
Young men, let me espe
cially and earnestly advise yon to
so conduct yourself and acts that
each night when you seek your
pillow you can truthfully say to
yourself and God: I have been
faithful, truthful and hmest; I
have not wronged others to enrich
myself, if you do this you will
be happy and successful. A peace
and joy of heart and mind will be
yours, which tho world could not
purchase from you. There is noth
ing in all my varied experience
which gives me so great comfort
and abiding satisfaction as an in
ward consciousness that I have
never been tempted to grossly
missrep' esent or unlawfully appro
priate to myself a single farthing

PLAIN FOOD.
If plain food is well and earful ly
cooked, it is as palitablo as richer
diet and much more wholesome.
Take as simple a dish as “hasty
pudd'ng”—when properly cooked
and seasoned it is a dish “lit for a
King,” but when half cooked and
seasoned it is fit only for pigs and
chickens. Cooking is j just as
truly a chemical process as any re
sult of a labratory. And, as iu
chemistry, tho least deviation from
propor proportions in a given com
pound will give a result entirely
different from the one sought, so
it is largely in cooking, in tho
couutry too tittle attention is paid
diet. How few farmers have a
good bed of asparagus, so desira
ble iu tho early spring between
“hay and grass,” when the whole
system cries out for fresh vegeta
bles, and yet such a bed- is easily
started and will last for fifty years.
Some farmers do not “feel able”
to afford their families any kind of
nnat but salt p >rk, summer and
winter, and yet they can buy good,
fresh beef from the bather’s cart for
less than they would sell thoir ev
erlasting pork for, and by boil
ing down in the kettle, with a
few light dumplings, you can have
a fresh meat dinner that will be
eaten almost as heartily as roast
turkey. Health largely depends
upon the food we eat.
KIND WORDS.
Kind wo , -ds do not cost much.
They never blister tho tongue or
lips. And we have never heard of
a uy mental troublo arising fro mi
tßiur use.
Though they do uot cost much
♦hey accomplish a great deal:
1. 'They help one’s own good
nature and wi 11. Angry words are
foe! to the flame of wrath, and
make it blaze more fiercely. 2.
Kind words make other people
good-natured. Cold words frezi
people and hot words irritate them,
and bitter words make them wrath
ful.
There is such a rush of all other
kinds of words in our days that it
seems des* cable to give kind words
a chance amoDg them. There are
vpin words and silly words aud
empty words, and prohime words,
and boistrous words aud warlike
words.

and unkind feelings We have not

such an abundance as tney ought
to be used.
Splitting tho Difference.
A yong man with tho blush of
country life on Ids cheeks yester
day sold out his produce on tho
market and entered a shoe
store and said that he wanted a
pair of shoes for his wife.
“What number?” asked the
clerk.
The > oung husband stretched
his head, looked very much em
barrassed, and finally said :
“Well, I have been married
eight months, but this shoe busi
ness stumps me. I don’t hardly
believe sho wears ’levens, and I
don’t think she kin git into fives.
T guess if we split tho difference
wel’l hit her pretty close.”
He was given a pair of eights
and after squinting along the soles,
he observed :
“l guess them’ll do. She’s
awlul proud, and I know she’ll
squeeze into ’em for all she’s
worth.” —Detroit Free Press.

HEALTH HINTS.
Thu following treatment is recom
mended as n cure for croup: As soon
as the first symptoms arc discovered
apply cold water suddenly and freely
to the neck and chest, and closely
cover wfth cotton baiting (nothing
else w 1 do as well) and the breath
will instantly be relieved. Give the
patient’plenty of water to drink, and
cover it warm in bed, and. it will
sleep sweetly. There is no danger of
taking cold by tho operation.
The Phrenological Journal says:
People should not sleep with their
mouths open. Breathing should be
done only through the nose unlc.-s
there is some physical obstruction
which renders it difficult or impossi
ble for one to breath though the nose
passages, which is the natural way.
Persons who snore generally breathe
through the mouth. Animals breathe
through the nostrils; and it observa
ble that cases of pulmonary disease
or throat-ail among those who keep
their mouth shut waking or sleeping
is seldom.

far cheaper and more effective than
anything else for the purpose.
A SMART DARKEY.
Iu tho year 1851, when the whole
world was thinking and talking of the
World’s Fair in Hyde Park, tho Col
onel of the Second West fndia regi
ment was one day startled on parade
by tho approach of his - bugler to
make the modest request of a fur
lough of sufficient length to enable
him to go over to London to see the
exhibition. CuffVy was sterncly or
dered back to the ranks, with the al
ternative of the guarJ-rootn, anil he
retired, muttering, however, that,
furlough or no furlough, his journey
to London was a fixed fact.
Next morning he was missing at
roll-call, the fact being that ho had
engaged h tnsclf as a stroker on one
..f the mail steamers, and was at that
moment sailing quit *ly out of the
harbor. He came to London, saw
tho exhibition, had his spree out,
and, when ho was tired or had spent
all his monev, lie presented himself
at tho Horse Guards and gave himself
up as a desetter. It was some time
before tie could gain belief for his
singular tale, and had to play a sdec
tion of tlu Colonel’s numerous bugle
oalls before he could prevail on tlie
authorities to order him into custody.
At last he was duly taken prisoner
and shipped for the West Indies,
along with a detachment going out.
When the ship had been some days
out at sea, the officer in command, a
young Lieutenant, found great diffi
culty in collecting tho men at meal
time, having no bngler with his de
tachment. “On this lunt ’ Cuffey
spake,po’iteiy offering to relieve
the officer of a world of troublo by
playing daily the necessary c ifis. His
ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION, $2 00
oll’.ii- was accepted, and the service
duly performed during lhe remainder
ol the voyage. On the nriivnl of the
ship, Cutloy was delivered to his
Colonel, who immediately ordered
h.m to be taken into custody, pre
paratory to regimental court-mar
tial.
Just, however, as the guard was
taking him oil', he called a parley,
and politely inlormcd the Colonc*
that be could not bo tried as a de
sciter, inasmuch as, having done dir 4
ty since "the commission of the act,
he was now as free as before he left
the regiment. There was no gaiti
s-iying this woll-knoWn point of mil
itary law, and the Colonel was com
pclh and to content himself with sim
ply ordering Cuffcy back to his duty,
amid the broadest possible grins on
tile countenances of his ebony com
rades.

TYRUANY OF APPETITE.
A young patient was brought to
Superintendent Coles in the first
stago of dolirum tremens, w.th the
warning that ho was n “bad case,”
and must Iks closely watched alter,—
As soon ns ho was convalescent, lid'
began to long for liquor, which was"
of course denied him.
Mr, Coles gathered lip the yoritfjj
man’s clothes in bis arms, mclndingf
his boots ind Shoos, and cairiod'
them down stairs.
“There, my boy,” said Mr, Coha
to himself, “when you want to get
cut ot this establish incut, you’ve got’
to summon me," and perfectly Sat
isfied that the young nVaff could not?
gi t out without his assistance, Mr>
Colts applied Ivis thoughts to other
gUbjects.
The patient was deb rtniaeiHo pro
cure some spirits. lJis room was two'
stories from the street, but there was
a pipe that ran from-the roof to the’
ground—a wat r-qspout.
“I can descend by that," he said.
He looked around for his clothes.-
They wore g- no,- lie found' nothing
but a pair ot old sippers. The moa-'
ey lie had in his pocket whciThe Was
brought to tiie asylum, was in the'
bureau-drawer of his room. Mr
Coles had not thought to take that
away. The young mull tore 11:6
sheetsTrom his bed into strip*, and
wound the strips around his-legs,,
making a pair of pantaloons, then ho'
took a Comforter from his b and, made
holes in it for h:s arms, and thus
made a tolerably nice dh-stihg-gown,
With the dressing-gown made fiom‘

Half an hoar later, Mr. Coles went*
up stairs to converse with his patient;-
but, behold, the bitd had flown,
“Well,’’ said Mr. Coles, “he mu'M
have gone out nuked, and of coarse
would be immediately arrested. f<
will find him at the police station.”
But Mr. Coles, in passing a bar- -

a noise of great hilarity, and think

been hurling their anathemas at us
ever since the oldest man among us
was in his swaddling clothes,
and nobody can blame Wade

all their abuse as a joke, and goes on'
sending ber money to the coffers of

people keep their money, build up
and patronizj Southern industries,-
and grow rich and independent n
they would do in a short while if they
would quit this extravagant policy of
sending to t he North for every tooth

daily independent of the world, and'
why not asseit our independence?
We could live bi tter on what wo pro
