A CIILPR.IT,
The maiden aunt, in her straight -hooked
;their,
With a flaeh on her pale and wrinkled,
cheek,
And a horrified, mortified, mystified air,
Woo just about to speak.
And the maiden uieon-a nice little maid-
Stood meekly twirling hor thumbs about,
With a half -triumphant, half -afraid,
And wholly bewitching pout.
Sala the maiden aunt : 'Will you please ex -
What your boade are doing so close to-
gether ?
You could eerily, I ensure you, Sane,
'Save knocked me down with a feather
"When I thinly of your bringing -up -my
care,
My scrupulous caro ---and it's come to this
Yon appeared to be sitting calmly there,
Ancl letting a young man kiss you I
"Now tell me at once just what he said,
And what you replied. This is quite a trial,
So do not stand there and hang your head,
Or attempt the least denial I
"If I eatcli you once more in such a -fix,
Though you are eighteen, I oan toll you
Jana,
I shall treat you just as if you were six,
And send you to school again I
"Aro you going to toll mo what he said,
And what you said? I'll not stand this
trifling,
So look at mo, Jane! Lift tip your head 1
Don't go as if yon were stifling I"
Her voice was shaken -of course -with
fear;
'Be said -ho said, 'Will you have ms, Jane?'
And I said I would but, indeed, aunt, dear,
We'll never do so again 1'
THE YALLER DOG.
This yeller dog I have in mind,
Was born in '81,
And in the elate of rllinoy
He first beheld the sun.
The way that pup took on and grew,
And got to be a dog,
World warm the heart of any man,
Unless ho was a hog.
Ho cut his teeth without a wink,
His tail soon got a curl ;
And ho had sand enough to give
Most any dog a whirl.
The owner of this yeller dog
Looked on with pride and glee,
And never seemed to have a fear
Of future misereo,
That dog he bit a hundred tramps,
And fit a hundred fights,
And he was always ready for
The cats which prowled o' nights,'
Indeed, he got his nose so high,
And felt so awful !Holt,
That he just wanted for to see
Something he couldn't link.
It wee a balmy, juicy day,
And not a leaf there blowed,
When something heaved in sight adowtl
The dust bokivered road.
One something was s showman, and
The 'tother was a bear ;
The first was taking 'tother ono
Unto the country fair.
This yallor dog ho saw that bear
When half a mile away,
And be did lick his bloody chops,
And to himself did say :
"Well here is luck and no mistake,
And dura my yadler eyes,
If I don't wake that object up,
Then !hie 'ere aog he lies I
"I'll make of it a total wreak --
I'll wallop it so bud
That oven if its life is saved,
'Twon't pay to live, bedad I"
Tho master of this yeller clog
Sot there and took it in ;
And as ho saw the state of things
He grinned an awful grin.
When that 'ere man and that 'ere bear
Wore nigh unto the gate,
The owner of the yaMIer dog
He could no longer wait.
" Stoboy l" ho Dried in loudest voice.
"Go in, my fighting Jini I
This is the chance for whish we've ached -
Go fill him to the brim 1"
And fighting Jim ho made a rush,
And tackled to that bear,
And growles of twenty different sorts
Arose to split the air.
But never more will yallor dog
A greater error maks ;
There'll never be a simpler job
A bear can undertake.
In sixteen seconds by the watoh
That yeller dog was dead,
And that 'ere bear was proudly off
A scratching of bis head.
And thus you see and realize,
No matter where yon be,
That it don't allus pay a chap
To air his vanites.
And sometimes it is for the beat
To go a little slow.
And let some other critter have
A sort o'fairish show.

year is two cents on the dollar.

Mi clear boy, there aro but few who
kan oommenoe at the middle of the
ladder and reach the top -and prob-
ably you and I don't belong to that
number.
One ov tho biggest mistakes made
yet iz made by the man who thinks
he iz temperate, just because ho puts
more water in lite whiskey than his
neighbor does,
Apple Butter.
Where apple bettor is not made on
a larger scalp u very good article
may be made as follows: -Take
twenty gallons of cider just from the
press and made from good sound ap-
ples, and boil down to ten gallons.
Then apples enough are pared and
cored (the cores and all bruised spots
taken out, and the apples quartered)
to make from ten to twelve gallons
dry measure. If the cider is much
acid, the apples should be less 80,
and vice versa. Rambo apples make
the best of apple butter, although the
various kinds of pippins usually found
in most orchards are about equally
as good. These twenty gallons of
apples, when properly cooked, will
make about seven gallons of good,
old-fashioned butter, provided the
stirring is kept constantly going on
during the process, otherwise the
butter is very apt to acquire a burnt
taste. It usually takes from six to
eight hours' constant stirring before
being taken off the fire. Spices to
suit the taste are added some min-
utes before the kettle and contents
are removed from the fire. There is
no getting over the fact, however,
that such butter poets all it will sell
for if we consider the labor it takes.
But a anpply of this favorite article
df "creature comforts" is a treasure
which no good housewife would deny
herself merely for the sake of the
little extra labor it requires.
Cooking Receipts,
WHITE CASE. -Take the whites of
six eggs, two cups of sugar, three
oups of flour, one cup of sweet milk,
three-fourths of a oup of butter, two
teaspoonfuls of cream tartar, one tea-
spoonful of eoda.
CHARLOTTE BUSSE WITHOUT EGGS. -
Dissolve a half package of gelatine in
a pint of milk ; add a half oup of seg.
sir ; let it come to a boil ; then have
a quart of cream, flavor, sweeten and
whip. After you strain the first let
it almost congeal, then whip cream
in beat for thirty minutes.
SQUASH FRITTERS. --One pint of
cooked and well•mashed squash, one
pint of milk, two eggs, a little salt
and flour enough to make the batter
stiff enough to turn on the griddle,
and not too thiels. The addition of
a teaspoonful of baking powder will
tend to make them lighter. Bake on
a griddle.
Rorx,ED Henemos,-Choose the
herrings containing the soft roo (the
hard roes aro usually larger), scrape,
split, open, cleanse and carefully take
out the roe. Then, with the thumb
and finger of the right hand, draw
the back bone out. It usnallycomes
out whole. Sprinkle with pepper,
salt and a little chopped green pars-
ley. Roll up tightly and tie with
tape, leaving the fin and tail outside.
Have ready some water sweetened
with a little vinegar, salt and pepper
into which when boiling put the her-
rings, Simmer for ten minutes.
To Been MAotEREL.--Clean and
carefully wipe a good sized fish ;
split it entirely down the back ; put
a little oil over the fish with a feather
lost the delicate skin •should be brok-
en by the gridiron, the bars of whittle
must be rubbed with fresh suet.
Chop a little parsley fenuel very fine,
season with pepper and salt and rub
into a thin slice of butter. Fill the
bask of the mackerel with this mix-
ture before you put it on the gridiron
and then broil h over a clear fire.
It will require from twenty to thirty
minutes to cook it thoroughly ; eerv°
with sauce.

Familiar Sayings and who First
said theta.
Many of our common sayings, so
trite and pithy, are used without the
least idea (rota whose pen or mouth
they first originated. Probably the
works of Shakespeare furnish ne
with /DM of theeo familiar maxims
than any other writer, for to him we
owe 'MI is not gold that glitters,"
"Make a virtue of necessity,' "Screw
your ooerageto the sticking place,"
(not point) "They laugh that win,"
"This i8 is tho short and long of 1t,"
"Comparisons are °alone," "As merry
as the day is long," "A Daniel come
to judgment," "Frailty, thy name le
woman," and a host of others,
Washington Irving gives "The al.
mighty dollar."
Thomas Morgan queried long ago
"What will Airs. Grundy nay ?" while
Goldsmith answers, "Ask no ques-
tions and I'll tell you no fibs."
Charles Pioknoy gives "Millions
for defence, but one oent for tribute."
"First in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts of his fellow•oiti
zens" (not oountrymeu), appeared in
the resolution proaeutod to the House
of Representatives, iu December,
1720, prepared by General Henry
Lee.
Thomas'Tatder, a writer of the six-
teenth century, gives nd "Better late
than never," "Look ere you leap,"
and "The stones that are rolling can
gather no moan."
"All cry and no wool," is found in
Butler's "Hudibras."
Dryden Saye -"None but the brave
deserve the fair," "Men are but child-
ren of a larger growth," and "Thro'
thick and thin."
"When Greek joins Greek then
comps the tug of war," Nathaniel
Lee, 1692.
"Of two evils I have chosen the
least," "Tho end must justify the
means," are from Matthew .Prior.
We aro indebted to Colley Libber
for the agreeable intelligence that
"Richard is himself again."
Johnson tells fie of "A. good hater,"
and McIntosh, in 1791, the phrase
often attributed to John Randolph,
"Wise and masterly inactivity."
"Variety is the very spine of life,"
and "Not much the worse for wear,"
Cowper. "Man proposes, but God
disposes," Thomas a Kempie.
Christopher Marlowe gave forth
the invitation so often repeated by
his brothers in a less public way,
"Love me little, love me long."
Edward Coke was of the opinion
that "A. man's house is his castle,"
To Milton we owe "The Paradise of
fools," "A. wilderness of sweets," and
"Moping melsnoholy and moonstruck
madness."
Edward Young tells us "Death
loves a shining mark," and "A fool
at forty is a fool indeed."
From Bacon comes "Knowledge is
power," and Thomas Southerne re-
minds us that "Pity's akin to love."
Dean Swift thought that 'Bread is
the stall of life,'
Campbell found that "Coming
events oast their shadows before,"
and' 'Tis distance lends enchantment
to the view.' "A thiug of beauty is a
joy forever" is from Keats.
The Pleasures of flanging.
DESCRIPTION 0T THE AGREEABLE SENe-
ATIONS EXPERIENCED.
The following account of the sen-
sations of hanging is sent to the Pall
Mall Ceazette by a correspondent who
is a member of a kind of suicide club
and was actually, ho says, partly
hung the other day in the presence
of several friends.
"A good stout rope had been ob-
tained. This wive securely fastened
to the rafters of the barn roof. I
pulled at the rope with my hands to
make sure that it would not break.
Then I permitted myself to be blind-
folded and mounted on a chair. For
the moment, 1 admit, I was weak
enough to turn pale and tremble. I
soon, however, recovered my pres-
ence of mind, putting my head
through the noose, I gave the signal.
I felt the chair drawn from under me.
There was a great jerk and I felt a
violent pain in my neck, as though
my scarf had all of a sudden become
too tight. Now copses the most curi-
ous part of my experience.
After the first feeling of torture,
which I admit was decidedly severe,,
I lost consciousness. I seemed to
be transported into a new world,
more beautiful than anything imag-
ined by the poets. I was swimming
methought, in a sea of oil. The
feeling was exquisitely delicious. As
swam easily and without effort
through the liquid mass I noticed
afar off an island of the most glerious
emerald green color. This ib was
my wish to reach. I mane lazily and
contentedly on, Tho sea kept every
instant changing its huo, though it
out. At one iustant 11 wa&a masa
of gold, as though the sun wero shin-
ing brilliantly on it. Tho next mo•
went it was a vivid blood rod ; but
there was nothing terrible or diegust-
ing in this new color. It kept
obanging, in fact, to all the hues of
the rainbow, yellow and red bring
the prolomineut tints. I got nearer
and nearer to the isle, As I ap-
proached itthere sprang Outsuddonly
frons the ground a number of people
strangely transfigured, whose Nose
Boomed to be known to me. 1 at last
reached the land. A magnificent
chorus of voices, human and those of
birds burst forth. I closed my lyse
in testacy. 1 floated °finely ou the
shore, and lay as a child in its cradle,
slightly weakened from, as
I supposed, the enervating effect
of the oily matter in which I had
been swimming. At last I opened my
oyes, the magic charm was at once
dispelled. The divine harmony ceas-
ed. The faces -von still peering at
me with au expression of eager curi-
osity, but I perceived that they be-
longed to the members of our society.
The pain in my neck was great. I
was stili weak -too weak to at ono°
relieve my friends' curiosity. When
I was able to speak I told my exper-
ience. Though I drew a charming
pioture of tbs bliss which I had felt,
not one of them would consent to
try my experiment. They all con.
ordered my conduct heroin, but abso-
lutely refused to emulate me. They
said I looked so ghastly 1"
