God made it all ! It is all good We must despise no sort of talent ; they all Jmpfove, exalt, and gladden life. Sydney Smith - An African Cookiag Stove. It not likely that any of our ifear little housekeepers, says the Hearth and Home , will ever have to prepare for tbe table such deli cate morsels as an elephant's trunk and feet, or the feet of a hippopotamus. Still they may 4Lke to kttow how the Africans, wno consider these tbinp-s as very dainty articles of food, man, age to eook tbem. . Xou may be sure the Africans have noxiooking stoves nor ranges like those on which our dinners are cooked. They have an en tirely original invention of their own. When a cook has to prepare the tempting delicacies we have named, he digs in ( the ground a round hpie, about lbur feet in dianieter, with perpendicular sides like a wdi. In this hoJe he kin dleft, and keeps burning for four liourg, a fiercely hot fire. At the eud of this time the sides of the 8 mall well will be red "hot,- and the bottom will be corered with a mass of glowing embers. Di rectly upon thesf coals the cook places the feet and trunk, which, protected by their thick; tough skins, will not burn. He then covers the top of the hole by lay ing across it long sticks of green wood, and lays over them a fewj armstul ot wet flags, which he gathers for the purpose fronvtlie banks of somenei gh bori nr stream. He next spreads1 mud thickly j over, and on top of the mud he piles earth and sods, closely beat ing them down. This is to re tain all the heat within the curi ous oven, an lninortunr rninr as thirtv-six hours are required to properly shafce the nomv9U8 feet ot the elephant and hippopota- When, at last, ttbe anxious cook thinks his viands are ready, he carefully removes the sods. . Un der these he finds the coating of mud. perfectly hard, like a thick crust, while beneath this the flags have retained sufficient moisture .to Mil-event them from burninjr. although the oven is still hot and steaming, y. , , i The cook has now to get the assistance' of one or two others to lift out the heavy and hot feet, which they lay upon' a mat cov ered with green reed s instead of on a dish. . " The great blaek feet $bxnot, at first, seem very inviting, but after 'MhejBhoes''- that is, the skins have been removed, a, perfectly white and very tempting looking meat is exposed, which is said by those who have tried it; to be de licious, and to speak volumes in praise of this African cooking- stove. Small Farms. Small farms make near neig bora ; t h ey make good roads ; they make plenty of good schools and churches ; there is more money made in proportion to the labor ; less labor is wanted ; eve rything is ket neat; less wages have to be paid for help ; less time is wasted;; more is raised to the acre, tecause it is tilled bet ter ; thereis tio watching of hir ed men; the mind is not kept i a worry, a stew, a fret, all the time. Th2re is not so much fear of a drought, ot wet weather, of a frost, of nlall price. There is not so much money to be paid out for agricultural implements. Our wives and children have time to read, to improve their minds. A small horse is soon curried-- and the work on a small farm is always pushed forward ;m season. Give us small farms for comfort ; and give us small itarms lor profit. A gentleman asked a little girl what it was that made; a person feil so s wheu another , tickled him? " I suppose it is the langh creejU ing over h;m," was the instant reply. . 'r - - The. Social Glass. ; IIow very few of those wyho are in tbe habit of indulging iu a so cial glass ever think of the, (3an eters tto which they are subjected ! How many moderate drinkers; are there in the country who think mey win ever beocaaae -eommen street drunkards? They are very scarce, Ve all know, yet we see and know how many drrink- ards there are and also know that every one of them was once a moderate drinker. And many a young man Wibo can resist almost any thing else, cannot resist the invitation to takea,drink. Why is it? There must be something deeper in an invitation to take a glass than in anyfhang 'lee, ;as a man is too weak to resist temptation. Th'e great trouble is that they think .there is no harm iu o&e glass. , If you never drink the first glass there wttl 1 be no temptation to try the second. It is a social evil, and one of Immewe ower to do -evi! ia or country. We know that it takes moral courage to stand up firmly, and say, No, I will not drink; but you can do it if vou 'will. And to you is recorded the privilege of showing that you can resist temp tation if you will. Learn to resist the social glass; learn to say no, whenever the in toxicating cup is" offered you, whether by the hand of some"Jiair and beautiful young lady or by the dirty gi'easy haud of a bar keeper : - If vow vcould srmn tie evils of intemperance, it-you . would live s.a maushould lire, if you want to be a man, let the social glass alone. . '-Riif '.?f vhn. 'wohl - ai nk -O" i" manhood-below the brute, if you would kill all qualities that go toward making up tlie true man, be a mod erate drinker. . j If you t wa n t to be a comid n street drunkard a disgrace' to yourself and family, and a' stain upon the manhood of your coun try, partake ot tne social glass. If you would live a life of shame and die by that terrible dkase, , deliri ui trjemens, lie a moderate drinker.- Temple of Honor. ! : ITIair .Dependence. 'Man relies more than he is aware for eom fort and happiness .on1 wonraii s race ana manaffe- ment t ile is i so accustomed to these, that he is unconscious of their, worth. They are so deli-; cately. concealed, atd yet so cease- lessiy exercised, mat ne enjoys their effect as he enjoys the light and atmosphere. He seldom thinks how it would be with nm were they withdrawn. He fails to appreciate what is. so freely given: lie may be reminded of tJiem now and then ; he may com plain. of intrusion or interference; lut?the.iown is smoothed away by a gentle hand, the murraer ing lips are stopped with a caress, andl the management jjoes on. Gad rxy. Production of Cotton. In the Agricultural Report for 1872, we have the following in teresting facts about the produc tion ofj Cotton, and the estimate of the increased value given to it by its manufacture, is given in a review of a work oa Cotton : . lu speaking of the immense interests involved in the cotton trade, the, author states that in the United States and Europe, at the present time, there are manu factured about 7,000,000 bales annually, averaging nr.t far from 400 pounds per bale. For this, the producers receive about $400,- matelv all parts of the world, it has risen in market alue to probably six fold its original cost, leaving to the merehanU, ahip-owners, .man ufacturers and tax received not less than $2,000,000,000 per an- num, as remuneration for their capital and labor. - - 0Uu,0UU, gold value, w-nen tniss last, -you cau t, run, uu miu. cotton is manutactured, and ulti- 44 Oh, hush !" said another, the . . . . t ' . -I ' ?

Far mers often undertake more than they can do well, and consequent ly work too early and too late. 2. By more system. The lar mer should have a time to begin and stop labor. Tney should put more mind and machinery into their work. I They should theor ize as well as practice, and let both go ; together. Farming is moral, healthy and respectable ; and, in the long run, may be made profitable. The Farmer should keep good stock, and out of debt. ' & By taking car$ of health. Farmers have a liealthy variety of exercise, but too often neglect cleanliness, eat irregularly and hurriedly, sleep in . ill-ventilated apartnients and exoseithemsetves 2eediessly to cold. 4. By adorning the home. Books, papers, music and read ing, should all be brought to bear upon the in-door family enter tainments; , arid neatness and comfort, order, shrubbery, flow ers and fruits should; harmonize all without. There would be fewer desertions of old home steads ifains were taken to make them, agreeable. Ease, order; health and beauty are compatible with farriHife, and were ordain ed to .go with it. Nessler considers the questions, salt, sugar and saltpetre ? and is it better to treat the meat with a" dry mixture of the above sub stances, or to dissolve the salts and the sugar in water, and to apply this solution I As to the first point, he recommonds a mix ture of 6 pounds of common salt, 3 ounces of nitre, and 1 pound of . An 1 t' sugar to every, lyo pounus tor meat ; these figures correspond very closely to the proportions employed for; sal ting meat in Eng land. As to the second, he is in favor of using a solution instead of the drv mixture, because this ; latter extracts from the meat not only water, but also some of the most nutritive constituents. Oh the other haud, if must not be overlooked that salting by means of brine requires special care in order to insure thorough contact of all the parts of the meat with tbe salt," arid also a longer time for subsequent drying. I'll Km ii for Iliiu. A few days ago, I was passing through a pretty shady street, where some boys were playing at base ball,- Among their numbers was a little lame boy, seemingly about twelve years old a pale, sickly-looking child, supported on two crutches, and who evident ly found much difficulty in walk ing, even with such assistance. The lame boy wished to join the game ; for he did not seem to see how much his infirmity would be in his own way, and r how much it would hinder the progress ofsuch an active' sport as base ball. His companions, good natured ly enough, tried, to persuade him to stand one side and let another take his place ; and I was glad to notice that none . of them hinted that he would be in the way ; but they all objected for fear he would hurt himself u Why, Jimmy." said one at mind: Til run for him, and you can .count it for him;' and he took his place by Jimmy's, side, prepared to act. uIf you were like him,' he said aside to the other bovs, "yoa wouldn't want j to be told of itall the time. 1 OtilcTs WfrM. - Jk Little Hero. The terrible fire which desola ted Chicago is still fresh upon your miuds. Many incidents which occurred while the flames were devouring cherished and happy homes are worthy of re cord. We will now give one, as an example of honest faithful ness. It is said that a wealthy widow. on the north side of the city was struggling alone, that never-to- , be-forgotten Monday evening, to 6are eome of her personal goods, when a small and unknown boy came to her, iind said : "I have been sent by your ; friend to ask if I can do anything to help you." The lady gavc him a box, and told him the best he could do for her was to take care of that, as it was very valuable. lie disap peared with it, and she carried trunk after trunk to a place of supposed safety, saw them all burned, and, finally, barely escap ed with her own life. ' ' AH iiight and the following Tuesday passed, and nothing was heard from the boy or box. Her ' diamonds, worth thousands of ' dollars, jewelry j choice silver and some rare relies! were in it, and she, was more troubled, for its loss -than that of her house aud furni ture. - : ' " : But TuesdaT night the boy was found sitting on the box, which ha had buried, iu the sand on the;; lake shore. He had been there twenty-four hours at one time was obliged to halt bury himself poor boy was hungry ana very tired, but he never once thought of deserting his charge. Don't you think, .dear readers, that such faithfuluess is. beyond praise ? How many of you could have resisted going to see after 4 the fire, or to obtain food, and, in t th as deserving your post, perhaps have forgotten exactly where the treasure was bnried, or returned to find it stolen ? But the faith ful boy , though the .flames were , . almost scorching'him, and he was half starved and Wearied out, never wavered mdoing right. U Kind Words. . ; lai'iBi i m i IIOAV tO SICCP With regard to sleep, the re cumbent position has obviously very much to do with it. Un doubtedly, sleep may occur in the sitting posture,; and even! while standing; but these cases are ex ceptional, ft ascertain, also, that sleep in bed, as a rule, is sounder with a low pillow than a high one. If, then, there be a state of wake- , fulness at nightj th3 head should be kept low ; it, on I the contrary, ' there is undue sleepiness, the head should be kept highj The degree; of sleep and the amount of it may be regulated by simply taking care that the head! is in the right position. If prolonged recumbency is a necessary part of the treatment, the tendency to sleep too much during the day, and too little at night, may thus be corrected. By raising the head in the daytime, the patient remains awake sufficiently! to be able to sleep at night ; by dressing . the head at bedtime, the Condi-? tions are favorable to sleep durin or r , the night; and, as a rule, sleep is conciliated in this way, without the help of narcotics.ir. I Rod clije. Remedy for Croup iu One Uliuute. This remedy is simply alum. Take a knife or grater and shave or grate off in small particles about a teaspoonful of alum ; mix it with about twice its quantity of sugar, to make it palatable, and administer as quick as possible. Its.effects will, be, truly magical, as almost instantaneous relict wij be afforded, 7 i-1 It IN t .fit 'i."!' :'. 1 it i I . J - lit' -i i - ?! i '' ! i. v 'r . n 1
