THE PKOCxKESSr 5 NOTHING BUT A FARMER. yon say you've lost your heart to me, And call me quite a charmer , You tell me that my lover dear la nothing hut a farmer, Who likes to toil in honest soil : I knew it all hef ore, sir ; And as he is a fanner lad, I love him all the more, sir. I do, indeed ! I hope you heed My story told before, sir ; If you despise the lad I prize, I love him all the more, sir. You say my lover offers me A cot, and more's the pity 1 That I shall have, as your fair bride, A mansion in the city. An, no, sir, thanks 1 That cot outranks The palaces, of yore, sir ; For each sweet rose that round it blows I love him all the more, sir. You tell me you would die for me ; Your love you cannot smother : I'm sorry, sir, but John and I Would die for one another. My fanner boy, he brings' me, joy I hear him at the door, sir; You'd better go ; if you're his foe I love him all the more, sir. I do, indeed ! I hope you heed My story told before, sir : If you despise the lad I prize, I love him all the more, sir. M. B. Kidder, in N. Y. Ledger. GRAHAM FLOUR PUDDING.

YANKEE MUFFINS. To one quart of milk add one gill of yeast, one teaspoonf ul of salt, with four or five eggs beaten. Add flour sufficient to make a thick batter. Bake in muffin rings. Serve with butter. LEMON JELLY. The yolks of two eggs, one cup of sugar, one cup of water, one table spoonful of corn starch and the juice and graded rind of one lemon. Cook till thick. This is nice for layer cake. MINT SAUCE. Chop fine one bunch of mint, mix with it a tablespoonful of white sugar, a pinch of salt and pepper each, and five tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Stir well and serve with roast lamb or veal. EXCELLENT CAKE.

Bake in small pans and eat while fresh. BEEF FRITTERS. Chop pieces of steak or cold roast beef very fine; make" a batter of milk, flour and an egg, and. mix the meat with it. Put a lump of butter in a saucepan, let it melt, then drop the batter into it from a large spoon. Fry until brown, season with pepper and salt and a little parsley. CHICKEN CROQUETTES.

Mix well; add half a gill of broth and a few mushrooms- Do not let them. boil; a few minutes is enough to do them. POTATO BALLS WITH CREAM SAUCE. Pare any number of potatoes, and cut balls from them with a vegetable scoup. From a dozen potatoes you should get about sixty balls. Cover them with boiling water, and cook twelve minutes without salt. Pour off the water: add to the potatoes one pint of boiling milk, into which stir two tablespoonfuls of butter, mixed with one of butter, one level teaspoon ful of salt, one-third of a teaspoonful of chopped parsley. Use white pepper altogether. This sauce is for a quart of balls. SOLID SENSE. Rules Whose General Observance Would Make Life Brighter. Every time I tell the truth I add to my strength of character. Every time I oppress a servant I am guilty of a sin against God. Every time I spend a dollar fool ishly I am opening a pauper's grave. Every time I buy an article I am encouraging the manufacturer or pro ducer. Every time I pay rent I am taking that much away from a home of my own. Every time I speak a kind word I am adding a brick to my temple of manhood. Every time I refrain from speaking in defense of a friend I prove that I am not a friend. Every time I pay a debt I am doing right and helping to put money in circulation. Every time I refuse to do a favor when I can as well as not, I prove that I am growing mean. Every time I speak cross and impetu onsly I'm weakening my nerve-power, and adding to the misery of some one. Pomeroifs Democrat. y ' - POTASH FOR ORCHARDS. ' Light soils are apt to be deficient in potash for any cropl and this defic iency is apt to be one reason why other manures do not produce full effects. But in the orchard there is apt to be lack of available potash whatever the character, of the soil. The seeds of fruit require potash for theii development, and failure to pro vide it is one reason why the. crop falls off or becomes mill-dewed before maturing. Vine dressers in France often use no manure for their vine yards except potash. They burn all the trimmings from the vines and re turn the ashes to the soil. In this country if any fertilizer is to be ap plied to the vineyard, potash is likely to be the last thought of. Old apple orchards always need more potash, and this should be applied with other manure. Hence the great value of ashes a valuable fertilizer, which, on the most farms, is thrown away as waste.
