Useful Receipts.
JOHNNY CAM—Scald the meal at
night ; let it stand where it will keep
slighty warm until morhing ; ,then, for
any ordinary four quart panful, add suf-
ficient sour milk to render /the right con-
sistency—generally a large- teacupful is
enough; saleratus, one tablespoonful ;
salt, at the time of scalding the meal ; if
the meal is very fine, do not use boiling
water.
A NICE DESSERT Di.—Fill a quart
bowl with alternate layers of thinly slic-
ed apples and sugar, aM; add half a cup,
of waterPecivered with a saucer held in -
place by' -'s, weight ; bake slowly • three
hours `; let it stand until -cold, and you
will turn out a round mass of clear red
slices, imbedded--invfirm 'jar-. For an
accompaniment 40.a i ,tileirse0 i of blanc
mange, rennet chat:era 'cold ride pudding
or similar dishes,- or even with nice bread
and butter, there is nothing nicer.
[
; WHITE GINd•ERBREAD.—Rub half a
pound of ,butter into one pound of flour,
add hare Pound of 'loaf lingr' which
should be fineliqounded and sifted, and '
the ring of one lemon very finely minced,"
one ounce of groundginger and a nutnieg
grated. Mix these;weli together ; maike
one gill of milk just warm, stir in half' a
teaspoonful of carbonate di soda, and
work the whole into a smooth paste ; roll
it out into cakes, and bake in anioderate
oven from fifteen to twenty minutes.
is A
' COCOANUT PLE,-"vc% neruaLLg 1 pound
grat-
ed cocoanut, three quarters of a pound
of white sugar, six ounces of butter, five
eggs (the whites only), two tablespoon-
fuls tom water, one teaspoonful nutmeg.
Cream the butter and sugar, beat till
very light, and add the rose water ; then
add the Vacoanut with as little and light
beating as possible; finally, whip in the
stiffened whites of the eggs with a few
skilful strokes, and bake at once in open
shells. Eat cold with powdered sugar
sifted over them. These are very pretty
and delightful pies.
SUGAR KISSES. —Beat the whites of
four eggs to a stiff froth, stir into this
one-half pound of sifted white sugar,
flavor to your taste. Lay it, when stiff,
on heaps of white paper, each the size
and shape of half_ an egg, and an inch
awart. Place the sheet `a tins, and put
them into a hot oven ; wlien they turn a
• little yellow, take them Mit and let them
cool five minutes. Take two kisses and
press the bottoms gently together until
they adhere, and so continue until all are
prepared. They are very delicate and
good, and look handsome.
To COOK SALSIFY.—Anybody who is
so fortunate as to have this excellent
vegetable, will doubtless like it prepared
thus :—Wash and scrape the roots; slioe
thin, and boil twenty minutes; season
with butter, salt and pepper, and turn
into a large tureen, upon layers of butter-
ed toast ; or the soup maybe served as
usual, and eaten with oyster crackers ; a
bit of codfish cooked with the salsify in-
creases its resemblance to the bivalve be-
loved of epicures. For breakfast, cook
and mash ; season, make up into cakes ,
with a little flour, and fry in butter or
lard.
A Mean Advantage,
There were a score or more of women
gathered together at Mr. Johnson's
house. Mr. Johnson i* a good-hearted
man and a respectable citizen, though he
is rather sceptical about some things'.
The women had just organized "The
Foreign Benevolent Society," when Mr.
Johnson entered the room. He was at
once appealed to to denote a few dollars
as a foundation to work on,
and Mrs.
Graham added, '`,It would beso pleasant
in after years for you to remember that
you gave this sodiety its first dollar and
its first kind word."
He slowly drew out a ten dollar piece
as the ladies smacked their lips and clap•
ped their hands, he asked :
'Is this society organized to aid the
poor of the foreign country !'
'Yes—yes—yes !' they chorused.
• 'And it wants money ?'
'Yes—yes !'
'Well, now,' said Johnson, 'there are
twenty married women here. if there
are 15 of you who can Make oath that
you pare combed your children's hair
this morning, washed the dishes, blacked
the cook stove, and 'made the beds, I'll

have,' answered two of -tie crowd,
$
and the rest said :
'Why, now, Mr. Johnson t!'
`If 15 of you can make oath that your
husbands are not wearing socks with
holes in the heels, this money is yours,'
continued the wretch.
'Just hear him !' they exclaimed, each
one looking at the other.
'If ten of you have boys without holes
in the knees of their pants,.this money
goes to the society,' said Johnson.
'Such a man !' they whispered.
`If there are five pairs of stockings in
this room that don't need darning 1'11
hand over the money ?'
`Mr. Johnson,' said Mrs, Graham with
great dignity, 'the rules of this society
declare that no money shall be contri-
buted except by members; and as you're
not a member I beg that you will with-
draw and let us proceed with the routine
business.'
No Fun in Sim.
One of the members of the Methodist
'Conference, recently held here, was Cut
for a walk at an early hour one morning,
and while on Howard street be encount-
ered a strapping big fellow, who was
drawing a wagon to the blacksmith
shop.
'Catch hold here and help me Sown to
the shop with this wagon and I'll buy
the whiskey !' called the big fellow.
I. never drink,' solemnly replied the
good man. ;
'Well, you can take a cigar.'
'I never smoke.'
The man dropped the wagon -tongue,
looked hard at the member, and asked :
'Don't you chew?'
`No sir,' was the decided reply.
'You must get mighty lonesome,'mused
the teamster.
'I guess I'm all right —I feel first
rate.'
'I'll bet you even that I can lay you
on your back,' remarked the teamster.
-Tome now, let's warm up a little.'
'1 never bet.'
'Well, let's take each other down for
fun, then. You are AS big as 1 am, and
I'll give you the under hold.'
'1 never have fun,'• solemnly answered
the member.
'Well, I'm going to tackle you, any-
way. Here We go !'
The teamster slid up and endeavored
to get a neck hold, but he had only just
commenced to- fool about when he was
lifted clear off the grass and slammed

A Promising Pupil., -
Some years ago a benevolent lady of
New!York, city /tor*/ a little lzlegro girl
into her family,;intending to give her a
verythortiugh, raoral and. religiou train -
14. Unfiirtunately-, the child was much
given to lying, and though the mistress
strove inss
ceanyand
tl
,by precept ex-
ample to eradiate nth vice, her efforts
were, far from successful. One day,
returning home after some honrs'absence,
the lady was net at the door Iby.. her
sable handmaid, who, with many tears,
informed ! her that she had broken a
valuable china pitcher, an heirloom in
the family. ,
Here was light in the darkness at
last, strict, truthfulness in 'the face of
reprimand or punishment, and the good
mistress was delighted. Such an opor-
tunity to reward and strengths strengthct virtue
would not be lost ; so the lady gnani-
mously forgot her annoyance at the loss
of her cherished pitcher (one of a pair),
and taking out a cent, said kindly :
'Well, Jenny, since you haire been
such a good girl, and told the truth so
quickly, I shall not even scold. you.
Here is.a cent for you.'
Alas! the next morning the lady, on
returning home from the market, was
met at the door again by her promising
pupil, who delightedly exclaimed:
'Oh, miscue, I've broke the other
pitcher. Won't you give me another
• cent?'
Farther description of that good
woman's state of mind would be super-
fluous.— Harper's Bazaar.
The Dutchman's Bargain.
A Dutchman let his land to an oil
company last spring, on condition of re-
ceiving one-eighth of the oil procured.
The well proved to be a pretty good one,
and the farmer began to think that the
oil men should give him a better chance,
and ventured to tell them so. They
asked him what he wanted. He said
they ought to give him one twelfth.
Tho agreement was finally made with
the understanding that the Dutchman
was not to tell any one. All went smooth-
ly until the next division day came,when
our friend was early at hand to see/how
much better he would be off under the
new bargain. Eleven barrels were
rolled to one side for the oil men and one
for him. This did net suit him. "How's
dish ?",says he, "I think I was to get
more es before. By jinks, you make
mistake !" The matters were explained
to him, that he formerly got one barrel
of every eight, but it was his own pro-
position to onlyitake one of every twelve.
This revelation took him aback. He
scratched his head, looked cross, and re-
lieved his swelling breast of feelings of
self-reproach by indignantly remarking
--"Well, by dander, dat ish de first
time as ever I-know'd eight was more as
dwelve,"
A VALUABLE LIB RARY. —The library
of the College of Rome Italy, has recent-
ly been enriched by die addition of the
library of the late Carlo Valenziani.
Among the books are nearly two thous-
and volumes in Chinese and Japanese,
and the collection is probably one of the
most valuable of its kind in Europe.
Several dictionaries of the old Japanese
language and a botanical work full of
quaint and beautiful miniature illustra-
tions are in the collection.
At the closing of a coecert, while a
young gentleman was struggling with his
hat, cane, overcoat, opera -glass, and his
young lady's fan, all of which he was
trying to retain on his lap. a suspicious -
looking black bottle fell on the floor with
a thud. "There," he exclaimed to his
companion, "1 shall lose my cough medi-
cine." Tat was presence of mind for
y ou . _
—An Indiana girl wishing to see if her
lover really loved her, hired a boy to yell
"mad dog" as they were walking alone.
Careful lover jumped a fence aud left,
leaving her to be chewed up alone. he
went off and married a dry goods [clerk.

—A young gentleman, after having
for some time paid his address to 4 lady,
popped the question. The lady; in a
frightened manner, said : "Yoe scare
me, sir," The gentleman did not wish
to frighten the lady, and, conseq ently,
remained silent for some time, w en she
exclaimed, ' •Scare me again."
—A good joke is going, the rounds of
the Western part of this State at the ex-
pense of the erudite editor of one of the
Michigan dailies, who, on discovering a
fire, rushel out into the street sh6uting :
"Conflagration! conflagration ! ! ! confla-
gration! ! ! Approximate hither with
the implements of deluge and extinguish
this combustion."-
-A prominent State official recently
took tea with a lady in Worcester,
Massachusetts, and, after a while, she
observing that he had no teaspeon, ex-
claimed : "Why, Mr—, it isn't pos-
sible that I forgot to give you a4 spoon ?
I could not have made such a mistake,"
The functionary at once arose, and with
the air of a veteran offered his pockets
for investigation. The lady said that
she didn't mean that, and the affair was
droppedV
A man who was not clever at cenun-
drums in attempting to gel off one at a
tea party at his own house the other
evening, became exceedingly mixed. He
intended to ask the old question, "Why
is a woman like ivy ?" the familiar but
gallant answer to which is, "Itecaume,the
more you're ruined the closer she dings."
But he put it, 7"Why is ivy like a wo-
man ?" which none of the ladies could
tell, and so the unfortunate man told
thecn himself that it was "Because the
closer it dings the more 9ou're mined."
