I am quite ashamed to take people in to my gird n and have them notice the absence of onions .It is very marked. In onion is strength; and a garden without it jacks thvor. The onion in its satin wrappings is among the most beau* tiful of vegetables, and it is the only one that respresents the essence of thing U can almost be said to have a soil.— You take off coat after coat, and the on" ion still there: ani, when the last one is removed, who dare say that ihe onion itself is destroyed though you can weep over its departed spirit ? I know that there is supposed to be a prejudice against the onion but I think there is rather a cowardice in regard to it. I doubt not that all men and women love the onion ; but few confess their love. Af fection for it is concealed. Good New Englanders are as shy of owning it as they are of talking about religion.— Sou** people have days on which they eat onion—what you might call “retreats nr their “i hursdays.” The act is in the nature of a religious ceremony, an l lcusinirn mystery ; not a breath of it must be got abroad. On that day they s?e no compny ? they deny the kiss of greeting to the dearest friend ; retire within themselves and hold com* munion with one of the most pungent and penetrating manifestations of the moral vegetable world. Happy is said to be the family which can eat onions to gether. They are for the time being se parate from the world, and have a harmony of aspiration. There is a hint here for the reformers. Let them eat and preach it to their fellows, and cir eulate tracts of it in the form of seeds. In the onion is the hope of universal brotherhood. If all men will eat onions at all times they will come inioauniver sal sympathy. Look at Italy. 1 hope I am not mistaken as to the Reds who preached the gospel which made it pos sible. All the lieds of Europe all the sworn devotees of the mystic Mary Ann oat of the common vege'a ble* Their oaths are strong with it.— It is the food also of the common people of Italy. All the social atmosphere of that delicious land is laden with it. Its odor is practical democracy. In the churches are all alike ; there is one faith one smell. The entrance of Victor Emanuel into Rome was only the pom* P >us proclamation of a unity which gar" lie had already accomohlised, and } r et we, who boast of our democracy eat onions in secret. — Charles Dudley War ner. Remedy lor Dyspepsia. A writer in the Medical Journal dis coursing on dyspeptics, says • We have seen dyspepsia who suffered untold tor ments with almost every kind of food Bread became a burning acid. Meat and milk were solid and liquid fires.— We have seen these same sufferers try ing to avoid food and drink and even going to the enema spring for sustenance. And we have seen the torments pass away and their hunger relieved by liv ing upon the whites of eggs whiclUhave been boi'ed in bubbling water for thir ty minutes. At the end of a week, we have given the half yelk of the egg with the white, and upon this diet alon°, without fluid of any kind, we have seen them begin to gain flesh and strength and refreshing sleep. After weeks of "this treatment they have been able with care, to begin upon other food; and all this, the writer adds, without taking medicine. He says that hard boiled eggs are not half so bad as half boiled ones, and ten times as easy to digest as raw eggs, even in egg nog. - - - ■■ - AW RTTER says of pumpkins for cows . From a peck of seed dropped and cov ered in the gaps of a corn field, a dairy of niii) cif) hub non kept up to sum mer milking, and the quality of the but ter is super-excellent, and six heifer calves raised from the above are as fat as moles/ The cows arc fatter, too, than a majority of the cattle slaughtered These cows have been making about six pounds of butter per week besides , supplying new milk and cream for a gentleman s house with sixteen inmates. The pumpkins are chopped up in the manger with a spade, morning noon and night, about half a bus!.el each t ime then cut nto pieces. They eat while being milked morning and nigh’, and they come to the yard and go into the stable for half an hour at noon. Beets carrots, and some other routs and small ears of c rn will follow so as to keep up the milk during the winter. To remove paint splashes upon win and >w panes, use a hut solution of soda a id a soft flannel. Kerosene and powdered lime whiting o; weed ashes, will scour tins with ieast trouble. Immerse a growing plant in water of one bundled and twenty degrees will clean it of lice and other insects, and not hurt ti e plant.
