SHIM MID.
Editorial Chat.
Grandma Live is kind, practical and pleas
ant.
Glad to have you come again, Florida.—
Will write you soon.
Aikansas, alias Mrs. Skimpole, your kind
thoughtfulness is appreciated. Blue, (differ
ent shades) or blue and white is our prefer
ence.
Nancy Longhorns, your communication
reads as if you were inclined to be sarcastic.
You don’t mean to b“, do you?
Mrs. Nora L. Hussey’s translation of the
Sun and Moon needs no commendation of
ours to recommend it; it is sufficient in is
■elf.
Second the motion, if you wish to do so,
Cousin Tom. We are willing.
Attention to Bach's opinion! Christmas
isn't far away, and if the picture is to be
made the photos should be sent in as soon as
possible. Ten cents contributed by each
member will be sufficient to defray all ex
penses.
Nobody’s Darling will find faithful, losing
hearts among us, and maybe find some one
in which she will find a home and abiding
place.
Clematis, you must blossom often for us.
Your beauty and fragrance are dear to us
all.
That’s right, Ray I Stand by your colors.
If more women would do likewise, society
would be purer and better.
Olive—There is a song called “I Know a
Bank Whereon the Wild Thyme Grows.”—
Probably you are thinking of that.
Clara G. Steele is a South Carolinian and
a member of our Household Band.
8. A. M.—We do not publish your letter
because an explanation concerning the paper
has already been given. Write us again,
won't you?
Our Household door will open at a touch
from those desiring admittance. We are
glad to know that any one likes us well
enough to wish to become a member of our
bund. While we try to make the Department
as instructive and interesting as possible, we
will certainly not exclude communications
which do not attain to a high standard of ex-
o Hence In no household are all of its mem
bers as cultured and refined as might be
wished, neither do all possess like tas es ami
qualities. We are willing to admit into ours,
both the lofty and the lowly, hoping by so
doing to bring something of brightness into
lonely and sorrowing lives, and to do some
good in the world.

winter use I It does well and re’ains more of
its fresh taste than any vegetable I have pre
served. Last spring it kept perfectly through
the month of May. Have delayed the fulfill
ment of one promise until it is scarcely
worth while to trouble tne Household with
my plan of canning fruit, but some of the
children may like to test it another season.
Instead of heating the jars, I dip them in cold
water, dra'n has ily and wrap them in a
coarse cloth of several thicknesses, dripping
wet with cold water: wrap it around the
sides and bottom and flash with the top edge;
then put in the fruit boiling hot from the
stove and close the jars as usual. Wet the
cloth after filling each jar and when the wa
ter begins to feel warm, replace with fresh.
A current of air should not blow directly on
a jar, and set it where it will cool gradually.
When cold, stand on the top and let it so re
main 12 hours; examine carefully aud if the
least bit of syrup has oczed out, the fruit will
not keep With a number of years’experi
ence I have never cracked a jar and find this
a more pleasant process than handling them
hot.
I send Texas a recipe for hop yeast which
has been in my family for fifty years and
will say for her encouragement be not
daunted by repeated failures, but resolve that
you will make good bread and never cease
striving until you become au fait, Boil
twelve Irish potatoes in four quarts of water;
when done, mash through a colander while
warm. Put three handfuls of hops into the
water and boil to a strong tea; strain this
over the potatoes, a little at a time, mixing
thoroughly. Add one teacup of brown sugar,
one teacup of fine salt, one tablespoonful of
pulverized ginger. When milk warm, add
one teacupful of yeast, or one cake of leaven
dissolved in a teacupful of warm water. Put
into a jug and leave uncorked for a day.
Set in a cool place and it will keep as long as
it lasts. Two large tablespoonfuls are suf
ficient for one lb. of flour.
Very good yeast or leaven can be made by
substituting life-everlasting, or peach-tree
leaves when hops can not be obtained. Dried
apples will also make a good yeast, but re
quire rather a different process.
Jerusha rnu-it pardon my blunder and at
tribute my obtuseness to the dullness of my
glasses (?) Am grateful to Crushed for her
kiudly mention of me and pray that the
measure of respect she now metes to the aged
may be meted to her triple-fold when time
shall have silvered lifer ha ; r and furrowed her
brow, and her burdens grow heavier with
the years, as is hers who lovingly subscribes
herself Grandma Love.
Pleasant greetings to each member of the
Household. Aud if you will allow me, I have
something to say, but first you must all
promise not to tell Miss Mattie. We are so
much indebted tu ‘ a certain charming little
girl” for a delightfully conducted Household,
and I move that by way of expressing our
high appreciation and our esteem for her,
eacn of us make and send her something to
be used as an ornament for her own little
room. Bonnie Blue, will you make out a
list, and send it to the Household, of all the
needtul ornaments that deft and willing
fingers can fashion for the purpose? Then let
eacn of us select and report what we will
make, so there will be no over supply of one
thing aud others wanting. And will Miss
Mattie be kind enough to tell us what colors
sue thinks prettiest; so that our articles may
harmon;Z3 nicely when brought together,
though fashioned by many fingers, and many
miles apart. 1 know Miss Mattie’s time is
too fnlly occupied for her to think of con
tributing, so 1 will take her share and my
own too. if they can be completed and sent
in by Christmas it would be nice. Now don’t
any body tell for whom they are. Let us
have suggestions from wiser heads.
Good bye one all.
Arkaxsaw, alias Mrs. Skimpole.
Bach's Opinion.
With your permission I will offer an a-
mendment to the suggestion of “Wyterryns.”
She says, “forward the photographs to Col.
Seals by Dec. ist, so that they can be framed
in time to be given to Col, Seals as a Christ
mas present.” Now, I propose to strike out
Col Seals and insert Miss Mattie Seward, for
if I understand, it is to be a Household pic
ture, and she being ‘ Q ieen’ of the Househ >ld,
gjves her the right to that “Gem of Art, ’as a
token of regard from her subjects, and I am
sure that she will appreciate it more than be.
I don’t mean to deprive CoL Seals of such a
priceless present. O i no, for I am sure if he
really wauts one, and will just make it known,
that he wiil soon be crowded with photos.,
dimes, postage stamps, &c.
What size photograph, and how much mon
ey wiil be required from each Housenolder?
I think that Album size will be the most suit
able, though of course we leave that to the
Editress Bach.

Kitchen and Pantry.
The following is an excellent recipe for
sweet pickles: Seven and one-half pounds of
peaches, two aDd one-half pounds of sugar,
one pint of vinegar. Put the sugar aud vin
egar in a preserving kettle or pan; let it sim-
m-r; after piercing each peach with a clove,
or, if the seed are taken out, pierce a little
over half the pieces with cloves to flavor;
then put the peaches in the syrup and boil
them twenty minutes. During nine morn
ings boll them twenty minutes, if they fer
moot. If they do not ferment, they need not
be boiled so often. Myrtle.
Butter which has been used for covering
potted meats, may be used for basting, or in
paste for meat pies.
miscellaneous hints.
Skimmed milk aud water, with a little fin--
glue dissolved in it, made scalding hot, is an
excellent restorative for black crape. It
should he clapped and pulled dry like muslin,
aud will be greatly improved.
Cracked vessels of china, earthenware, etc.,
such as chimney ornaments and vases, may
be repaired by putting on the inside, strips of
tape, rubbed over with white lead.
HOME DOCTOR.
Those liable to ba chilled on going out of
doors, should have some material attached to
the vest or dress, worn so as to protect the
space between the shoulder blades behind,
the lungs being there attached. A little
warmth there is worth five times the amount
over the chest in front.
Dear Householders; The Exposition is im
proving and the crowd in attendance is in
creasing; so that in spite of predictions made
to ihe contrary it bids fair to be a success—I
think it is already one, so far as txhibits are
concerned; and from present indications it
will prove to be one in other respects.
In the Art Department Mrs. Gregory has
an elegant display of life size portraits in
creyon, oil and water colors. Her portraits
of Hon. O. A. Bacon, is very fine, aud is a
perfect likeness. The portrait of our beloved
Mrs. Mary E Bryan, seated in her study,
pen in hand is just like her. Mrs. Gregory
seems to have caught and embodied Che gen
eral air of sweetness and intelligence which
hovers like a halo around Mrs. Bryan—some
thing difficult to accomplish and which re
quires a practiced hand and an artistict soul
to effect. Be-ides her exhibit at the Exposi
tion, Mrs. Gregory has at her studio in the
city many portraits, spec; mens of china paint
ing and various kinds of art work, which she
takes pleasure in showing to her visitors. Sue
also teaches painting and various branches
of qrt work at very reasonable terms. Her
studio is a favorite place of resort for resi
dents and visitors—and is beautiful and well
worth visiting. Whenever you come to At
lanta don’t fail to call on Mrs. Gregory.
The Florida exhibit at the Exposition is a
wonder to up-country and Northern people.
There are coeoanuts, d- z.-ns of them growing
on the trees; bunches of dates; looking like
mammoth bunches of red grapes; bearing pine
apple plants; c ffee lushes ladeu with white
fl iwers aud bright red berries which contrast
beautifully with the dark green leaves; ba
nana plants in bloom and bearing huge
bunches of fruit; lemons, citrons, oranges by
the quantity, shells, sea beans, corals, fish
scale aud shell work, sea weed and numbers
of curiosities, wonderful and beautiful.
Bat brevity is the rule for me as well as
you, so I must wait till another time to tell
you more about the many wonders and
beauties to be seen at the Exposition.
Faithfully yours,
, Mattie C. Seward
Practical Nancy.
I have been readin’ of the Sunny South
for a considerable spell, aud must say 1 think
it fust-rate. Muss Price ( >ur next door ua
boi) she takes it ; and one day I was over to
her bouse, and 1 read a iittie in one of them.
I was mightily pleased, and thought as how
they would tie so nice to nod over these long
winter nights. So I told Miss Price if she
would sell them to me after she was done
with them, I'd 'low her half price, and pay
her in good nard, home-made soap. Now,
Miss Price is mighty close, and always wants
the best end of a bargain. Sae said she
thought as how I oughter to give a little
more than halt' price, bein’ as I was to keep
the papers. R ither than to look picayunisu
I agrei d to throw in the duct-legged pull -t.
1 kuowed I was g vin’ a good price, bein’ as
how they was s* ragged; but they’d come in
mighty handy to kludie fires with, and the
readin’ was just as good second-banded as
first-handed.
My old man (Peter Longhorns) don’t b’lieve
in readin’ nothin’ but the Bible. He say s it’s
a sinful waste of time to read newspapers
and sich trash, and tells me I am tryin’ to be
nifaiutin wantin to read about things I don’t
know nothin’ about.
Peter is as good a man as you’d wish to
see, but he’s powerful set in his way, and I
have to keep my papers hid away duriu’ the
day and read at nights while he is asleep.
I've cut out every so many picters and past
ed over the mantel shelf and made some
wheat straw picture frames and put around
some of the daguery types I cut out, and hung
them by the looking-glass. One night I was
readin’ some of your letters, aud was mitely
tickled, when 1 sed to myself: “Nancy Long
horns, old gal, why don’t you jme tne baud
aud rite them fokes a letter to let 'em see
that you know a thing or two?” 1 waited tel
1 heard Peter give a give a go. d loud snore,
then 1 know’d 1 was safe, for if Gabriel had
biowed his trumpet it wouldn’t awaked h;m.
So I ris up, easy like, and tore a leaf out of
an old copy-book, then 1 got my pensel out
of the cabberd. I keep it there to mark eggs
with when I set hens—it don’t rub off like
firecoal does ) 1 felt powerful guilty some
how, just like I was stealing, for I hate to
do auy thing unbekuow nest to Peter. The
louder he snortd the faster I rote.
1 see you are all rnity fond i f swopping.—
it’s a good plan to git rid of things you don’t
want aud git something you do want. Now
1 have a stockin' full of puukin seed I’d like
like lo give for some of Betsy’s onion but
tons. 1 have a pitcher-full of sweet hair
grease, too; I made it myself. It’s powerful
sweet. Peter loves to.put it on his whiskers
of Suudays. I’ll give you a quinine bottle
full for some verbenos and honeysuckle seed.
I have plenty of unfashionable flowers, that
I am tired of, and wan’t to get some new
fangled ones. I don’t kuow nothin’ about
turnin’ tin pans into fliwer gardens like Miss
Marthy does, but I have one 1 take up ashes
in, aud pick up cobs in, and it’s mity handy.
As for cow’s horns, I have one that 1 call Pe
ter home to his dinner with, and be has an
other that he keeps gunpowder ia.
I can give you a receipt for making the
best soap in the world, if you wish it, aud 1
know how to cook a power of good things.
Peter and me are going to the circus if I git
his blue breeches done. I have knit him a
pair of yellow socks.
I have lots more to say, but if I don’t stop,
you will all think I am long-winded Naucy
instid of Nancy Longhorns.
P. S.—I’ll knit any of you a pair of nice
gloves wit h fingers, if you will send me a po-
lonay patteru.

I promised to give you one or two receipts

The rains came too late to benefit the crops
excepting turnips, potatoes and peas. Tne
severe drouth prevented many garden
seeds from maturing and I wifi be forced—
reluctantly, however—to adopt the lazy,
parfait aux fruits:
Take a little more than half a package of
Cox’s gelatine, aud dissolve it in half a cup of
water—letting it stand for an hour. Then
add the juice of four lemons, a pound of
white sugar and a glass of sherry, or other
wine, After m'xing these, pour in a half
pint of boiling water. Place a mould upon
ice, (if the weather is warm, if cold, in cool
water w ill do,) put in an inch layer of jelly
and let it set. Then arrange upon it fruit of
any kind; put spoonsful of jelly between
the fruit and at the sides to keep it in po.-i-
Southern habit of relying upon maiket. gar- j tion. L--t this set, then add more jellv, then
deuers, which so often results in failure | more fruit, until the mould is filled; placing

when we propel ly save our own seed. Though
fond of flowers aud ail advocate for cultivat

usefulness, I devote but little time to their
culture and am therefore unable to offer anv

es are delicious in this jelly, peeled, quartered
and m xed with sugar. Blackberries, straw
berries and plums are also good; and when
these are not in season, preserves of various
kinds, or brandied cherries and grapes may
be used.
A nice cake is made as follows: three eggs

smell, I can exchange some vegetable seed.
Among them, a prolific bunch okra and an
extra early cor., fie 11 pea. The latter I
particularly recommend to Mr, Arp and
some of his friends, as with it, they wifi no
find it so difficult to “pull threugh” as he
pie pans, sifting fine white sugar over each
before putting it in the stove. Cook quickly
aud pile in a plate. The sifted sugar makes
them crisp. When all are done, cut through
the entire heap into quarters. This is easily
and quickly made, and is sure to please.

[From the German of Herder]
BY MRS. NORA L. HUSSEY.
From the counsels of the Eternal there
proceeded the ere ting voice; “Two lights
shall shine in the firmament, as kings of the
earth, and rulers of the rolling Tuue 1 The
voice spoke; it was done. Uprose the Sun,
the fi st Light. As a bridegroom goes forth
from his chamber, as a hero rejoices in his
victory, so stood he there clothed with the
Godhead’s brilliancy. A crown of all colors
encircled his bead, the earth exulted, the
plants emitted their fragrance, the flowers
adorned themselves.
Envious stood the other Light, and saw
that she could not outshiue the glorious one,
“What!” said che, murmuring to herself,
“shall their be two sovereigns upon one
throne? Why was I doomed lo be the second
and not the first Light?” And immediate
ly her beautiful radiance, overcome by her
deep grief, vanished, and became the vast
army of the stars.
Pale as one who is dead, she stood, dis
graced before all the heavenly host, and
cried: “Have mercy, Father of Spirits, have
mercy 1”
And the Spirit of God stood before tl e
darkened One and spoke to her the holy
words of Fate: “Because thou hast envita
the Sun his brightness, unhappy One, there
fore .-halt thou in future shine only by his
light; and wheu the Earth marchelh before
thee thou shalt stand half or entirely ob
scured, as now. Still, child of error, mourn
not. The All-merciful hath pardoned thee;
and hath transformed the - for thy good. ‘Go,’
saith He, ‘speak words of comfort to the
peuitent. Let her be the Queen of Lights.—
The tears of her penitence shall become a
balm, refreshing the languishing, and giving
new life to those whom the Sun hath over
powered.”
Re-assured with hope, Luna turned around,
aud behold, there encircled her that bright
ness in which she yet shines. She entered
uptn that quietcourse which she still pur
sues,—the Queen of the night, the conduc
tress of the scars.
Lamenting her error, sympathizing with
every tear, she seeks whom she may refresh,
she seeks whom she may console.
No Home Lone Cousin Tom.
The world is full of beauty this bright,
loveiy moruiDg, and I thought I’d make a
“pop call” on the Household. Haven’t rime
to tarry long, and if I nad, expect Miss Mat-
tie would be “uftner” me witn the scissor ,
The gills say “sweet Mattie,”and “dear Mat
tie,” and “darling Mattie.” If that privi
lege is denied me, it is no harm to “second
their motion,” is it? Everything seems so
nice, swept and garnished in the Household
I am almost afraid to set my No. 8’s down,
lest I knock down somebody’s flower pot, up
set some old lady’s jar of yeasr,, wake up
Crushed's baby, or do something heathenish
I am like Lily B., I almost wish Crushed
hadn’t told about that baby ; for thut is one
class of Lu nanitv that I don’t have much use
for—am always afraid I’ll wake 'em. But
then, all the babies I ever saw were sick; it
might be different with a well one. I’ve been
waiting and watching to find the key to
popularity among the ladies of this House
hold, and I believe I am about to exclaim
“Eureka!” It, is this; Tell them how to make
nice little things to hang up about the house
and give them recipes for cooking Deter
mined to be a “prop along the wail” I slipped
mamma’s old cook book out and studied it
one whole day. Then I went down to the
sitting-room, where I picked Sis’s little mats,
wall not kets, tidies and “sich,” nearly all to
pieces trying to find out how they were
made. I learned to make potato pies and
and chess cake—will give recipe for the lat
ter, as 1 memorized it. Take io eggs; stir
them till they foam Then add 5 lbs. of sug
ar, 4 lbs. butter, 5 cups of buttermilk, 1 cup
of yeast. Stir it all up and put in some per
fume. No use to tell about the potato pie
now. as potatoes are a thing of the past in
this country.
Lily Bell, why do you wish to assume the pre
rogative of forgiveness? Why look over the
past? Why try to forget and forgive the
bruisr.s, the heart-aches, the insults so ruth
lessly inflicted upon you? Has any one im
portuned you to forgive? Has any one eveu
asked your perdnn? Methinks not—Then
pocket your forgiveness, my iittie friend,and
don't cast your pearls to the unappreciative.
Be aisy, Bach.be aisy! and don’t come throw
ing tadpoles at a body's head like that; I
only said 1 liked Busy Bee. Keep down
that green-eyed monster. And oh! do wait
till goober grabbing rime is over before you
claw at me again. Fly, Sir R'chard, for
your hfel Your “kingd- m for a horse” aud
begone from here! They are after you and
no mistake. Eideiweiss has given the “war
whoop ” Eugene Hall, do come out and be
a man if you are one, and don’t keep the wo
men stepping around you as if you were a
thistle bush or a torpedo.
Happy, happy Grandma Love! She’ll
have no overshoes to buy this winter—so
many of the Household have spoken for a
place at her feet. How kind of them I I
would offer my coat sleeve as a confer ter for
her neck, if I were not afraid she would
pinch my ears. Can’t be at the Exposition
and don’t like to talk about it. 0 tnose ill-
natured scissors! Let me down and out

Olive Welcome.
Will some member of the Household be so
kind as to tell a home-sick one, who is pining
for the sunny banks around her childhood s
home, where to find the line—
'• There is a bank whereoa the wild thyme grows.’
It keeps floating through my mind when 1
think of “ the days that are now no more,”
and I would like very much to read the whole
of it.
1 am charmed with’ the poem in the last
Sunny South—“Uncle Tom’s Life Experi
ence ”—and would like to know » ho Clara G
Steel is. 1 think she is a South Carolinian,
as the scene of “ Uncle Tom’s Life Experi
ence ” was on the banks of the Broad Santee.
My own home is not far from the Santee, and
oh, how many real home pictures did Clara
Steel’s magic pen bring before my mind’s eye
as I read her poem with tear-dimmed eyes;
for what plantation was without its Uucle
Tom to pet and spoil the baby
“ Who lam just ting.
For reach her little arms to Tom, aud he must pat
and sing.”
What good, useful advice Sadie Lae gives.
She expresses my sentiments fully. A wo
man should never let a day pass without read
ing sometning useful, and 1 could tell you of
one who works through the whole long day,
thinking of something pleasant the weary,
sleepy eyes had closed upon and refused to
finish the night before, and longing for night
to come again that she might return to the
Delovei book. The two hours spent in this
way is an oasis. Tis refreshing by the way.

As no one has ventured to write a letter to
the Southern Household, from this quiet li -
lie village of Calhoun, I will attempt to do
so. I have not asked for admittance iDto the
Household for fear of not being received into
it and besides I am such “a green horn,”
don’t knew how to do anything gracefully.
I would like for Lone Star, of Dallas, Texas,
also any one else who can and is willing to
send me some samples of crochet edging and
inserting, also darned net samples. 1 am
sorry I have nothing to offer in return for
them, but they need not trouble to send them
if they can’t afford to do so without anything
in return. Here is an excellent recipe for
sponge cake. Ten eggs, the -whites frothed
Lord, and a pound of sugar beaten well into
the yolks, t„en the whites mixed with them,
three quarters of a pound of fl ur stirred in
and flavor to taste of lemon. Bake in a quick
stove. I see some one has written a letter
from Oak Hill, Georga. Is that Dot’s post
office, or the name of her country home l
The Household may hear from me again
some time if this does not find its way to the
waste basket and there is anything to writ
about. I hope I wiil not be treated with
silent contempt, or that the other members
of the Household will not make fun of
Nobod vs Darling.
Kay Seeks Comfort,
A? I have been here before, I will not knock
for entrance, or even send in my card, but
j ist drop into this corner (I’m fond of ctzy
corner;) and have a little chat with Eideiweiss
and the rest of you good folks. Edelweiss,
I’ve been looking for you all along aud if you
nad not made your appearance, should have
been wofully disappointed. Do you know
that it i3 the strangest thing for me to find a
girl just after my heart in tnese things? How
is it with yourself?
Your milking reminds me of Richard’s lit
tle pastoral scene with the fair Nina as milk
maid, and 1 could but wish he had allowed
us to hear his hero repeat the other lines of I

port of which is familiar, but the words are I

Don’t whisper it to any one, but let me

HcdrVigor,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a most agreeable dressing, which;
is at once harmless and effectual, for-
preserving the hair. It restores, with
the gloss and freshness of youth, faded
or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich
brown, or deep black, as may be desired.
By its use thin hair is thickened, and
baldness often though not always cured.
It checks falling of the hair immedi
ately, and causes a new growth in all
cases ^Lere the glands are not decayed;,
while to brasliy, weak, or otherwise
diseased hair, it imparts vitality and-
strength, and renders it pliable.
The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures -
and prevents the formation of dandruff;,
and, by its cooling, stimulating, and
soothing properties, it heals most if not
all of the humors and diseases peculiar
to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and
soft, under which conditions diseases
of the scalp and hair are impossible. -
As a Dressing for Ladies’ TTa.ii-
The Vigor is incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and
will not soil white cambric. It imparts
an agreeable and lasting perfume, and
as an article for the toilet it is economi
cal and unsurpassed in its excellence.
