THE SOUTHERN WORLD, SEPTEMBER 15, 1882. 16 Flitting Up Preserves. Our sparkling and newsy cotemporary, the Louisville Pott, ever welcome to our table, contains the following excellent narrative of the trials and tribulations attending putting up preserves. The narrative begins at 3:59 *»■ »nd regularly bulletins the prepara tions until the hour of 8:30 a. m., when we quote: 8:30 a. m.—The plums are being put on while the peaches are being canned, or more properly, jarred. 8:52 a. m.—Bang! goes the first jar and bang goes the old lady's tongue. “Was ever anybody so tormented?” No one answers, and another jar bursts, just to show how much a fellow can be tormented. 0:03 a. m.—The whqje stove is covered with steaming pots and kettles, to say nothing of a big, brass-lined kettle boiling away in the yard over a charcoal fire. 9:28 a. m.—The charcoal has run out and all hands prepare to faint. Susan is sent post-haste after some, but the post-haste pro cess aint a success, for she returned to say the man has just telephoned for a supply. Meanwhile the pot is kept boiling by break ing up an old chair, a leaf of the kitchen table and a shelf from a pantry for firewood. 10:02 a. m.—The charcoal arrives and the mother of the family halts in her wild ca reer of destruction. The kitchen table itself was about to be split up. 10:30 a. m.—Of course, the minister has to come this day of all days in the year. He is glad to see the folk so industrious, and says that Mrs. Minister has just bargained for her fruit, and is preparing for the annual stew. He offers jokingly, to help the ladies, and, by showing how ong rnppo he is on the delightful occasion, seats himself on the end of the large table used for canning, jarring, etc. At the other end of the table are twenty- four jars of peaches, just from the hands of the jarrists. The table being unused to such distinguished meat, gives way, and down goes minister, jars and all. He departs, somewhat persuaded that it is one of the joys of life to smash twenty-four jars of newly canned peaches all t’once. 12:15 p. m.—Such as can eat, partake of what there is, but as there aint much, and as, were they all to pool their appetites the sumtotal would’t amount to one relish, the niid&y meal is a failure. 1 p. m.—The peeling of peaches is resumed, Susan having ordered a few bushels of jars and a new supply of the patent peaches. 1:29 p. m.—An argument arises as to the proper length of time to toast the plum jam, Emily insisting it should be cooked four hours, while Lily and the mother insist upon twenty minutes. Bettty chimes in with the remark that it would be too jam bad if it were to burn. 2:38 p. m.—Much blackberry and plum jelly is being housed for the winter in all sorts of utensils, one being a long unused shaving cup of papa’s. 3:11 p. m.—A fearful yell breaks on the midnight air! It is followed by another more fearfuller, if possible, until horror and dismay are spread ail over the yard fully an inch deep. Betty alone preserves her pres ence of mind, but though she quickly suc ceeds in fishing the cat out of the great ket tle of boiling apple butter.it is too late to save the cat. The poor thing is landed on the bricks perfectly hairless and too dead'for any use. Notk.—Please read “afternoon air” for “midnight air” in the above soul-stirring paragraph. 3:33 p. m.—The all-absorbing question is: What shall be done with the Ave gallons of apple butter? It is, of course, ruined, but Betty, with her customary stupidity, asks if tlie hairs cannot be picked out. This sug gestion disgusts her sisters, when Betty re marks, that after all she could not see much objection to the hair, it would be accepted as an evidence of the age of the apple but ter. 4:10 p. m.—It is discovered at this moment that a kettle of blackberry preserves, huving been forgotten in the general uproar, has been burned. This, of course, adds to the pre vailing gloom. 4:00 p. m.— In silence the jellies and jams and preserves that have been saved from the general wreck, are being “put up." " 5:30 p. m.—The peaches are all up, and the result is thirty-two jars well filled ; four busted. 5:35 p. m.—The blackberry jam amounts to thirteen cups, glasses, mustard bottles and one shaving cup full. 6:35 p. m.—The blackberry jelly sums up nineteen filled utensils. 6:40 p. m.—The blackberry preserves being overdone, aint counted. 7 p. m.—Supper is partaken of, but like the other meals of the day, it don’t amount to much. Papa is too sensible to come home for a while yet. Mamma remains in seclu sion and desires to know nothing of the day’s triumphs. 9:15 p. m.—The finishing touches being put on everything, the work is concluded. Betty suggests that all hands figure up the cost of the day’s work. After some labor, the following statement is made out: Apples |2 75 Peaches (flrst lot)..™.. .... s 25 Peaches (second lot) s 75 Plums 5 75 Blackberries a 80 Jam(flrstlot) * _... 6 60 Jars (second lot)..™ „ 7 50 Charcoal.™ 70 Coal 20 Old chair 40 Table-leaf 1 00 One shelf 25 Sundries 4 ‘25 One cat (estimated)....™ 5 on Labor (five persons, estimated! 10 00 Total (62 10 Credit by salvage 20 65 To profit and loss (particularly loss) ..(41 45 11:19 p. m.—Papa comes home, hears what a delightful time they have had and how much has been done. He doesn’t quite un derstand what Betty means when she asks hint to buy a new cat. The old man being in a charmingmood, declares he’ll stay home next time and join in the fun. 12:03 a. m.—All hands to l ed.
