It was only a blunder of my lawyer. The

natural that I should wish well to Squire
Teazer in this law-suit, because you see,

J my turn will be next, if you come off with
j flying colors.
" Squire. And so, yoii misbegotten, good-
for-nothing, disobedient, ungrateful, filli-
bustering, gouging, spitting, dealer, steal
er, and eater of human flesh ; you think
this a good excuse for turning your back
on your old daddy, who not only begot you,
but" taught you everything you know, good,
bad, and indifferent. But I have no more
to say—only answer me, Did I not beget
thee ? Answer me that, villian !
Jonathan. Well, that is all you have
ever done for me with your own good will.
Squire. And what more would you
have of me, you puppy ? If it hadn’t been
for me, you’d have been nobody, and cut
a pretty figure among civilized * Christians
like Captain Bompart and I. You’re an
ungrateful villian, I say again.
Jonathan. You call me ungrateful,
daddy; but I only ask what you have
done to make me grateful, and what you
are doing now ?
Squire. Did I not beget thee, caitiff?
Jonathan. Let me go on, daddy. Now
that you have berated me with being un
grateful, I am determined you shall bear
the truth for odcg in your life. Ever since
yen were obliged to give me a title to the
farm I had bled and worked and slaved
myself to make worth something, you have
always been doing me some ill turn or oth

A Talk about the Beard
‘Why is it,’ said a bright eyed boy to
his father,‘that you don’t shave off your
eye-staches V
‘Shave of my eye-staches !’ exclaimed
the astonished parent. ( Why, what new
word is this ? You mean eye-lathes I
suppose.’ *
No, no,’ rejoined the lad, ‘I mean eye-
staches. I read in a book the other day
that the hair which grows above the mouth
is called a mouth-iache, and I'tliought the
hair that grows above the eye should be
ealled an eye-stache,’
‘You are mistaken my son,’ said the fa
ther the hair which* some people are so
foolish as to wear on the upper lip is call
ed a moustache not mouth-tache while that
which grows above the eye is termed an
eye-brow.’
‘Well, eye brows then if that is the
name. Why don’t you shave off your eye
brows ?’ asked the inquisitive hoy. ‘You
know that you aud Deacon Baretace said
it was ridiculous to let the beared grow,’
True my son,’ continued the father I,
and my friend Bareface have talked bit
terly against the foolish custom of wear
ing the beard which is becoming so alarrn-
ingly prevalent aud which we fear is the
beginning of a falling away into barbarism
it is so srvage and heathenish,’
‘I know it, father,’ said Robert, ‘I
know you said so , aud when I saw your
great black eye-brows this morning I won
dered why you didn’t shave them off, as
it is so wicked to let the hair grow on the
face-’
‘But my child the eye-brows ! Why eve
rybody lets them grow.’
‘0, then what everybody does it right
is it ?’ continued Robert.
‘Little boys must not talk too much,’
was the parent’s definite reply.
‘Well father I won’t talk any more now
if you will just let me tell you how I pray
ed last uight after heariug you aud Deacon
Bareface tell how foolish and wicked it was
to let the beared grow.’ ( ?
‘Well, Robert how did you pray V as
ked the father :
The honest-hearted boy replied, ‘I
prayed like this :
" ‘0 Lord thou seest how many are get
ting wicked and are letting the beard grow
all over their faces. O fhat these men
would learn to obey thy laws by shaving
their beards as did Moses and Aaron, and
all the holy prophets and apostles aud all
wise and good men in all ages. O Lord
how could you make such a mistake as
to form man with a beard that would-keep
•••rowing as fast as it was cut off. I thought
you said everything you made was very
good, but father aud Deacou Bareface fay
it makes a man look ridiculous to wear
beard. O Lord how sorry I am that you
committed that original sin of making
a beard which has been visited upon the
children of so many generations. O how
I wish father and Deacou Bareface had
been there wheu you made Adam ; for
they would have given you some good ad
vice aud told^ou what bad taste you show
ed when—
‘Stop ! cried the terrified parent how
could you pray in such a blasphemous—
but here the conviction of the consistency
of the child’s prayer with the teachings
he had given flashed upon the father’s
mind and he fled from the room to ponder
the folly and absurdity of the creature
ridiculing the works or the Creator.eu-
deavorinx to go counter to the laws which
an aiiwise Ueiiig has established. 11.
from the centre to the Bky. It is the
space on which the generation before him
moved in its round of duties and he feels
himself connected by a visible link with
those who follow hiui, and to whom he ia
to transmit a home. Perhaps his farm has
come down to him from his fathers. They
have gone to their last home; but he can
trace their footsteps over the scenes of his
daily labor. The roof which shelters him
was reared by those to whom he owes his
bein". Some interesting domestic tradi
tion is conneeteted with every inclosure.
The favorite fruit tree was planted by hia
father’s hand. He sported in his boy
hood beside the brook which still winds
through the meadow. Through the field
lies the path to the village school of earli
er days. He still hears from his window
the voice of the Sabbath bell, which call
ed his fathers to the house cf God; and
near at hand is the spot where his par
ents laid down to rest, and where, when
his time is come, he shall be laid by his
children. These are the feelings of the
owner qf the soil. Words eannot paint
them—gold cannot buy them; they flow
out of the deepest fountains of the heart;
they are the life-springs of a fresh, health-
y, and generous uational character—Son.

Learn to Cook well.—We again
propose this advice to those of our young
female friends who may chance to look in
to this journal. There need be no scruple on
the ground that the aim is not sufficiently
high for a generous and cultivated mind.
To do well whatever it becomes our duty to
do at all, as an ambition sufficiently elevat
ed for the highest and most gifted spirit.—
The care of tbe family will be the duty of
the women till we all get translated to a
higher sphere of existence—and family
cares will always, as now, be made up of
details, small in themselves, ’tis true, but
in the aggregate, and to their connections,
vastly important. We say, then learn to
cook well. -
The health of the family depends up
on it. We know there are those who as
sociate luxury,effeminacy, and all depend
ent ills with every attempt of the kind re
commended. But we do,uot believe that
health is promoted by eating raw carrots
or doughey bread—or that to secure long
life it is necessary to turn cannibal. Nor
were men made to graze like cattle, or eat
like dogs.
Nor is it necessary, in order to shun th*
errors of which we speak, to rush into
the opposite extreme. Good cookery does
not consist of producing the highest sea
soned dishes, nor such as fosters a morbid
appetite, but in prepearing every dish well,
however simple or common it may be.
There are, for instance, families who
never eat good bread from one oentury to
another, and have no idea of what it con-
consist. Nor are meats any better within
their precincts. Those little, simples and
delicacies, which the good houskeeper
knows intuitively how to produce, are nev
er seeu here ; even a dish of potatoes can
not get themselves well boiled. A mem
ber of the family might as well fall among
the Hottentots, as far as any proper nurs
ing is concerned; These things ought
not to be, nor is there any need of their
existence, if the wife has any just notions
of her obligations to herself and thos*
about her.
The science of bread making, meat boil
ing, of vegetable cooking,and of preparing
multifarious small dishes of all sorts,
which go to make pleasant the table and
about it,are hers—hers, to understand and
practice.—-Prarie Farmer.
in front of the mansion ; and, as many of
the delegates were accompanied by their
wives and daughters they made an impo

having placed them in the position which
he thought best for an effective picture,
Mrs. Washington on the extreme right, on
the left the Old Soldiers and on their left

gates from the “Six Nations,” in their
picturesque costumes and in a conspicuous
position apart he arranged his speculum,
and in a moment the several groups were
portrayed to the life. After this they all
moved in solemn silence to the tomb where
an appropriate prayer was addreessed to
the Throne of Grace by the Rev. Mr.
Westbrooke. This was followed by sever
al addresses not the least eloquent or in

of the company as they stood grouped
around the grave ; and thus the ceremonies
ended.
Such a scene was never before witnessed,
and it is hardly probable that a similar one
oan ever again be seen. It will no doubt
long dwell in the memory af every indivi
dual who formed a part of it, and they will

yes, dam me, sir, sympathizing—with that

Preserving Eggs.
The newspapers are constantly famished
with new rules for preserving eggs. One of
the following : “ Wrap each egg closely
in a piece of newspaper, twisting it tightly
to keep out the air, place them in layers in
a box with the small ends down, and set
them where they will be cool without freez
ing.” We have no doubt but this is
good way, but it would be nearly as diffi
cult to exclude air by printing paper as
by gause or tet work, paper being a very
porous substance. The. great secret of
success in preserving eggs is to keep the
small ends downwards, the air-buble
which ocupies that end supporting the
weight of the yolk, and preventing its
adhesion to the shell. If the egg is laid
on its side, this adhesion will seon take
place, and the egg will be spoiled, no mat
ter however completely excluded from the
air. Eggs preserved as above, or by pick
ing salt, or oats, or on shelves purposely
made for them by boring large auger
holes, so as to hold the egg upright, with
out allowing it to pass through, are all
wood ways, provided the small end is kept
downwards. There are other requisites
that should not>e forgotten; for example,
the eggs should be quite fresh when pack
ed away, and especial care should bis ta
ken thAt none are cracked, as these soon
spoil, and communicate the fermentation
to the others if they are in contact or
close proximity. Packing in salt is a good
way, but it is not so convenient as the oth
ers, because the salt is apt to become hat-
Novel Concert between a Mousb
and a Canary Bird.—llara Avis,” in
Boston Traveler gives the following ac
count of a oouoert between a canary bird
and -a mouse which took place on the even
ing of the 19th of January. lie says :
“Wheu all was still in my room on the
above mentioned evening my attention
was attracted by a sound within the walls
exactly resembling the chirp of a young
canary. This awoke my canary who au-
swered it from his perch. The chirp was
repeated and the bird replied. A regular
conversation followed each answering in
tune theuuseen singer inoreasiug in loud
ness and clearnes till the canary was clear
ly thrown into song and imitating him
in his trills and warbling, just about as
closely as a young canary would imitate
an old one. At this moment a regiment
of rates who seemed to have been collected
round the spot made a stampede, and the
invisible singer was silenced for the uight.
“My first thought was to refer this in
tramural singing to a canary heard through
the walls but inquiring at the next door
and finding that no canary was kept there
and hardly supposing that one could exist
between the walls I was obliged to yield
to riie opinion of a lady present that it was %
