"The Love of Christ, that passcth knowledge” BY CHRISTINA G. ROSSKTTI. I bore with thee long weary days and nights, Through many pangs of heart, through many I bore with thee, thy hardness, coldness, slights, For three and thirty years. Who else had dared for thee what 1 have dared ? I plunged the depth most deep from bliss above; I not my flesh, I not my^spirit spared : Give thou me love for love. For thee I thirsted in the daily drought, For thee I trembled in the nightly frost: Much sweeter thou than honey to my mouth ; Why wilt thou still be lost? I bore thee on my shoulders, and rejoiced. Men only marked upon my shoulders borne The brandiug cross; and shouted hungry-voiced, Or wagged their heads in scorn. Thee did nails grave upon my hands ; thy name Did thorns for frontlets stamp between mine I, Holy One, put on thy guilt and shame ; 1, God, Priest. Sacrifice. A thief upon my right'hand and my Mt; Six hours alone, athirst, in misery : At length in death one smote my heart and cleft A hiding-place for thee. Nailed to the racking cross, than bed of down More dear, whereon to stretch myself and sleep; So did I win a kingdom,—share my crown ; A harvest,—come and reap. ejes: at election^. CREAM OF_THE PRESS. —Remember your Creator now while you have opportunity—do good to your fellow men and walk by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. —But what vtO/wiaJj. tft make em -’'phaticis the ,J&ef .snrfwh preached" gospel;, for all these works of chari ty and religion must cease, if the 'preacher’s lips are closed, and no one stands iu his place to do his work. And another thing we wish to make emphatic; the power of the preacher will be in propoftion as he preaches the gospel and Jlot something else. He is called to do that, and if he does it -not, he is a fraud. And where it is preached with greatest fidelity, there it has greatest power. There doubts are fewest, and unbe lief the weakest.—Pittsburg Chris tian Advocate. —“A school-house is not a church. He who says that a church is not a better place for worship than a school bouse knows very little about real worship iu church, or school-house, or any other place. We are crea tures influenced by circumstances or surroundings. "A school-house is not the place in which to maintaiu a church and have it grow. A school house in which political meetings, law suits, and any show that comes along are held, is not the place for divine worship; the association be comes bad.”—Christian Intelligencer. —These are the rules I have always accepted: First, labor; nothing can be had for nothing; whatever a man achieves, he must pay for; and no favor of fortune can absolve him from his duty. Secondly, patience and forbearance, which are simply dependent on the slow justice oftime. Thirdly, aud most important, faith. Unless a man believe in something far higher than himself; something inftuitely purer and grandei than he can ever become—unless he has an instinct of an order beyond his dreams; of laws, beyond his compre hension ; of beauty and goodness aud justice, beside which his own ideals are dark, he will fail in every loftier form of ambition, and ought to fail. _The pieces of armor recommen ded in the Bible to the Christian sol dier are various, but there is only one weapon named. Helmet, breast plate, girdle, sandals, aud shield are called for to enwrap aud protect the soldier’s person ; but the single wea pon to be wielded by him is “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” This suggests thut it is a more difficult, a more complex thing to take care of a Christian while he is fighting than to do God’s work in cue ngnt. —Precisely in proportion as religion is given up to tbe frivolous and pic nioky style of worship and entertain ment will it lose in real spiritual power. Its earnestness all give way under such treatment, and religion without earnestness is nothing. It requires rare skill to so mauage the disposition to mingle social enjoy ment with religious devotiou so that there shall not be austerity on tbe one side, or volatility on the other.— United Presbyterian. * SOUND HIS PRAISES. Ought wo not in our Christian life on earth to cultivate more the spirit of praise t See how emphatic the record of the revelation, on this point, when speaking of his apocnlytic vision. “And Ij^ftfeld, and I heard the voice ol'many angels round about the throne, and the boasts, and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand, times ten thousand, aud thousands of thousands ; saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and hor.or, and glory aud blessing.” How promiuenta place in the occu pation of heaven is given to joyful adoration of our Lord ! The act of praise leads the soul out of itself, into the beholding of the lovely and glorious attributes of God’s character, as portrayed in the life of Christ. Looking at self would narrow, but this enlarges and waims the whole spiritual being. It ii'the upspringmg of a grateful heart to ward its bounteous Benefactor, in glad acknowledgment of His good ness. It is the kindling of the scul in responsive echo to the loving touch of the Master. Occasional hasty flings about the employment of the saints in another world, by persons more noted for piquancy that piety, have of late, led some persons to underrate the place of “harpers, harpiug ; with their harps,” aud to consider the singiug and worship only a minor part of the work of glorified saints. While we do not contend that this is the sole thing in the field of view opened up for our contemplation in the life be yond the river, we do believe that Scripture aud a true Christian phil osophy inculcate the duty and mag uify the privilege of praise. What makes the Psalms of David aud the sublime poetry of Isaiah so comforting aud inspiring to the juost saCTetFnStrre’of the inner lifift~ Is if not a breathing ,^ recognition of God’s 'good baud all through the history of human experi enee-f What stimulated and promoted the growth of the early Church but the testimony of its disciples f “This is the Lord’s doing: it is marvelous in our eyes,” waS the substauce of all their witness-bearing. Cau we not, as churches and indi viduals, do more toward exalting the high estimate which the world should have of Christ, by opening our lips iu enthusiastic proclamation of the Lord’s loving kindness to us f Very often the fires which God’s Spirit has kindled in the heart, il allowed vocal expression, become a burning flame, helpifig to warm into new life other hearts shivering aud freezing for its lack. If, instead, cold conventionality be counseled, and the fear of criticism prevail, the heavenly’ Are, deprived of its necessary spiritual oxygen, will die. As we value, therefore, the claims our Saviour has upon us and the world, let us pray with fervent desire that God may inspire us with in creasing appreciation of His charac ter and love, and more cheerful read luess in proclaiming it to others, that we may better carry forward the work His Son has put into our hands. Let us not bo classed among those who are too busy, or too indoleut, to take the time or make the effort to render unto God “the thanks due His name.”—The Appeal. FUSSINESS. Thure ia a class of housekeepers who are always iu tho suds. Some how they seem to have a great deal more to do than others who appear iug to do little, accomplish every thing. Those fussy housekeepers weary the life of all quiet loving folks who are so unfortunate as to be iu their neighborhood. Instead ol sitting comfortably down and inquir ing what is to be doue, how it cau be so doue that it shall have a logical beginning, middle and eud; what must be doue, what may be left un done ; what is urgent, and what can wait; they begin anywhere, every where, and “charge all along the line or, what is almost as bad, they devote themselves to some trilling detail which might have been omit ted altogether, and let all the rest ol the household machinery drift iuto confusion. The fussy housekeeper has special ties and whims and notions. Her plumage is always ruffled, her man ner is always agitated, she is in a perpetual stew, and unfortunately never gets quite “done” till the last quiet sleep overtakes her. The worst of it is that these fussy folks always persuade themselves, and try to per suade others, that they are accom plishing a great deal by their fussiness, which is only true in that they make total destruction of all peace and comfort within the limits of their pet ty sovereignty. Now, there is a great deal to he done in every house hold, however small, and it can be done, all of it, without any fuss at all. The whole operation of house clean' ing can be gone through with by on ly disturbing one room at a time, or two rooms at a time, whilst the rest of the house is kept in its usual or der. There is no sense in tearing things to pieces unless one can at once put them to rights again, and when they are torn to pieces, the thing to do is not to fret nor to scold, but set such agencies in operation as will restore order and wholeness again. It has always been observed that all the great agencies are noise less. Sleep, death, heat, light, elec tricity, gravity :—u?St--a—sound does either of these make as they all move on in their mighty missions through the earth. They come and they go. and we know naught of their coming or going save by the results they leave behind. Our most distinguished citizen is a silent man. He is known not by his words, but by what he is dud by what he lias done. He lias gone round the world raising a tidal wave all tiro way, but a child can count all the words he has spoken! The best housekeeper we ever saw never rais ed her voice above a whisper. When she spoke you had to listen to hear what she said. You could tell the seasons by looking at her house The various preparations for spring, sum mer, autumn, winter were made al ways in season, but so quietly that everything was done without the ‘■stroke of a hammer.” No parade was made about things left undone, and thougli she often had to wait for the accomplishment of her plans, there was no fuss made about the waiting, no»ttewtj$>n ealic-_ onhyshe herself knew that-every -.<s she wished. The secret of her success lay in the quie tude of soul, the clearness of her in tellect, and The patieuce of her dis position, and these could not fail to be impressed on all about her. If the housekeeper would be a homckeeper as well, she must avoid fussiness. The home is iufiuitely more than the house, and there is such a thing as destroying the home by what is supposed to be the very perfection oi housekeeping. The most immaculate of housekeepers are not always the most lovely of women, for they often tithe mint, anise, and cumin, while they ueglecrthe weigh tier matters of the law, justice and judgment and the love of God. In proportion as a woman is fussy is she inefficient. The efficient woman has an eye for the main chances, and never sacriiices them to side issues. The fussy woman is forever potter ing over lion essentials, and, of course, is forever behind hand with the essentials. Fussy people are us ually afflicted with a ‘-diarrhoea of words,” and have no appreciation of the maxim, ‘•Silence is golden ;” or of the proverb, “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold iu pictures of sil ver.” Promptness, punctuality, se renity are utterly incompatible with fussiness ; and here we give a hint as to how those who are disposed to overcome fussines in themselves may do so. By b^ng prompt in the per formance of duty, ignoring and neg lecting all side issues and going for the main chance. By cultivating punctuality, timing themselves by the clock, and forcing themselves to he “ready ou tlie dot” invariably. By keepiug calm and cool and undistur bed in tbe. midst of confusion, beat and irritation.— Weekly Tribune. THE INFLUENCE OF SONG. A wave of secret! song swept over our land last year. Begiuuing in the largo cities, it rolled on and on, till now there is not a hamlet on remote mountain-side, or by the sea, which is not often vocal with the sweet sounds of Gospel hymns. Passing the little white school-house by the lonely out-of-the-way road, you hear blouded voices singing: “What a frieud we have in Jesus, All our sins nud griefs to bear ; What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer." From cottages aud farm-houses, as you ride by them in the dusk, you are greeted by the notes of the piano or the cabinet organ; apd if yon pause and listen, there will fall upon your ear words like these : "It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine, My Just's I Saviour ! yet this soul of mine Would of that love in all its depth and length, ils height and breadth and everlasting strength, Know more and more." You stand by the dwelling or pov erty, where a weary woman is toiling over the wash tub to win her daily bread. Her children are playing by the door. There are six of them to be fed and clothed and sent to school and launched upon the world. Their father is dead. There is nobody but this mother, with her narrow oppor tunities and scant education, to do for those hearty, hungry boys and girls all that must be done before they will bo men and women. It is a hard lot, and you pity her, and wou der whether she is not discouraged, whether she does not lie awake nights and cry, and wonder where she is to get flour and wood and coal next winter. She, wringing out her cloth es, and carrying a great basket of them over the grass to hang upon the lines, gives unconsciously her answer: ‘‘In some way or other, the Lord will provide. it may not be my wav ; it may not he thy way ; And yet, in His own war, ‘the Lord w ill pro vide.’ ” Perhaps there is an invalid’s cham ber where you sometimes sit au hour or two. You go to it, out ol the bright world, so full of activity and movement, and you are sorry for your friend who has to spend so ma ny monotonous hours—hours, too, of suffering and weakness—ou couch or chair. But though you may sympa thize, you need not condole, for there is a familiar hymu-book open on the bed, and you see that a peucil-mark has been drawn : “No more heart-pangs nor sadness, When Jesus comes; All i ettee and joy and gladness, When Jesus comes.” Of course there were hymns before Moody aud Sankey bound up their sheaf and’ gave it to the Christian world. There was the grand, sub lime, all-comprehending liturgy of the sacred Psalms, and there were what we still have aud prize, the ly rics of Ambrose, Gregory, Bernard de Cluuy, Bichard of Olanvaux, and .thfijaaittttjtlMMiang their lofty faith -srrtrtffetf' nerofc^-cotiragtr from tft® darkiigsS. of cloister walls. Tlijjfc were the sweet hymns of Wesley aiiTT Toplady, of Qpwper, Lyte, audKeble, of Faber,_and—of—Bay—Palmer and Horatius Bouar. All these speak ior the heart when it longs to pour itself forth in a passion of praise. But what these later hymns have done has been partly because they have been wedded to fervent aud inspiring tunes. The children catch them up and sing them as they go to school. The workman finds that their rhythm wilt keep time to the beat of his bam iner, while the mother lulls her little one to sleep with their silvery cadeu ces. Is it not possible to make more use in our homes of the power which dwells in such melodies I Before the work hegius in the morning, let the daughter’s hand strike the keys, while all the family gather around her anki sing. At evening have au hour of music. Sometimes drop the sewing and the studying, the plan ning aud contriving, and brighten the busiest part of the day with an interlude of sweet song. It will be a tonic to the weary and a rest to the toiUvoru.—Christian at Work. Education in the Home.—There is st process of education constantly going on in every dwelling which csire and thought can make an un speakable advantage, and at the same time contribute to make a happy home. To keep objects of pure aud high interest before the children’s minds, in a natural and suitable way —to have them supplied with such books as will occupy aud interest—to talk not so much to them as with them about objects—to take note of and encourage any advance they make, and to direct the How, not of a part; but of the whole, of their life— physical, mental, moral, without ap parent interference or violence, this happy art—to be sought, prayed for, labored for—under God’s blessing goes far to make a happy home. The tastes of ehildreu are naturally sim ple. Your child’s wooden gun, cut with your own baud, perhaps, and made a link of connection between your little boy aud you, may be more to him, more influential over his character, more potent iu binding his heart to you while living his memory to you wheu you are dead, than a costly gilt that you ordered at the store. Aud when you, liviug a lov ing, natural life before you children, aud with them, beud the knee in their midst, and speak to God of them and of yourself, there is a pow erful restraint beiug put ou the na tural evil, there is a pleasaut type of heaven where the whole family that js uamed after Jesus shall be gather ed together.—Hr. John Hall. Subscribe for the Sun. FLING OFF THE WEIGHTS. The normal condition of a Christian is work. A lazy, listless, idle Chris tian has no place in the dispensation of Christ. The Christian life is rep resented to us in the .Scriptures by those things which require the great est exertions of bodily strength and the keenest attention of mind; by a state of war, by a combat, by wrest ling, and by the running of a race. Now, they who ruu a race divest themselves of everything which may add to their weight or hinder their speed. And this isi what Paul rec ommends to Christians, The race they are called to run is the Chris tian life—a lite of self denial and ho liness. The prize they hope to ob tain is eternal life with God. And to obtain this they must live in that state of holy obedience to God which He has promised to accept through the mediation of His Son. They must repress every temper, passion, and appetite, and forbear every ac tion which may hiuder their pro gress in this diviue life or be to them like a weight to one that runneth a race. Christ calls His disciples to the renunciation of every worldly advan tage and every temporal considera tion that may come in competition with their duty or divert them from that holy life of active obedience which His Gospel requires. A Chris tian without even energy enough to resist temptation to sin, who serves the devil more than he serves God, and whose soul is so hung about with weights that it cannot lift itself out of the vanities and worldliness in which it is mired, is a very worthless sort of a Christian. Away, theu, with encumbrances! Let our loins be girded afresh ! Let us quit our selves like meu who have au object in new, and strive for the mastery, that, being victors, we may he crown ed at last. Now it is preparation, it is traiuiug, it ts getting ready, it is starting, it is running the race. Soteatimes-it j.s up._bl!k therg are briers in the way. Some -vs it is quick sand, and it seems as if we should sink. But God’s augel helps us out, and on we~Tun. Dear Christian friends, wreary, footsore, hungry, thirsty, even fainting—courage! You are nearing the goal. A little while, and you shall be past all strife, and shall obtain the crown of glory which fadeth not away.— Christian At Work. BRING OUT THE ROPE. The Swiss guides are heroic men. Tremendous exploits of strength and courage are the scenes which in old age they review. Mountaiu climb ers are dependent upon their skill aud experience ; but uo matter what their knowledge of Alpine safeguards or perils may be, they cannot secure even the hope of safety to .hose who ask their help, except on one condi tion, aud that is, their willingness to be bound together in difficult pas ses. The party set-out in union, with kindly intentions to be helpful to each other. They have a book knowledge of the way, but every step is new to their feet, and they must trust to their guide. For a while a common bond of personal welfare is enough. Hut see, the guide has halted and waits for the company to listen. They hear his voice in that clear Alpine air, ring ing in stirring tones, “Courage, gen tlemen, there is danger here; we must tie the rope, around each man, aud protect each other 1" It is a de ceitful snow-bridge over an abysstual cleft in the blue ice! It one man ventures to cross alone, lie may drop between those frozen walls. Bring out the rope and bind these adven turers so firmly that if a man lalls the strength aud steadiness ol his fellows may hold him securely ! W oe betide the man who goes over the horrible glacier regions of Switzer laud alone. The experienced guides, who know the dangers of this life journey, tell us that union is strength, that ties ol mutual faith and eouimou interest are not all we need, and they • bid us bring out the rope ot true-hearted association, to double the force ot each man’s weight. We have done it in faith, trusting in the Lord—be cause we kuow there are dangerous passes iu the narrow way to the heavenly heights. Belt not on the companions of your pleasure; trust not the associ ates of your health and prosperity : it is only in the hour of adversity that we learn the siueerity of our frieuds. Children are sometimes more se verely punished for accidently breal^ iu a cup than for telling a willful lie I J SKIPPERS IN BACON. Those of our readers who may wish to be sure of pieventing skippers in their bacon hams the present .tear, are advised tlint now is t he proper time to attend to the matter. The surest cheap prevention that we know of is, to remove about two inches depth of dirt from the floor of the smoke house every winter, replacing that carried away with fresh clay or sand direct from the bauk. The hug is now embedded, in its pupa state, in the floor of the smoke houses, rea dy to come out early in the spring to lay its eggs in the bacon, and oi course by removing the dirt you car ry out the insect with it. This is an easy and inexpensive way to get rid of the pest, and as the dirt yon carry out is a good fertilizer, it would be advantageous in that respect alone to do so every year. You may have a few skippers even after taking up the surface, as some will find their way into the house at all events, but not many, while if you let the floor re main you will be sure to have a great many. Ko preparation to put upon the meat will prevent the bacon bug from laying its eggs in the meat, and covering with canvass is trouble some. The best hams are those which hang in the smoke-house just as they are cured till wanted for the table. They must have air, and there fore to wrap them in cloth and paint it works injury to the quality and fla vor of the meat. The , right plan is, to keep the, bugs from the meat, not the meat from the bugs. Knowing the habits of the insect enables us to do this pretty effectually, as it byber ! nates iii the soil of the smoke house floor in winter, comes out a full grown bug in March aud April, lays its eggs in the bacon, which hatch the skip pe rs tb aMye-Jj.u+1-H-i s ■ i irmrc r -ttatHiiH? I aud then goes out and dies. Better remove flie floors in time before spring work begins to push and the bug awakes fioiu its winter sleep.— Rural Messenger. What One Lemon' Will Do.—A | piece oflemou upon a corn will re i lieve it in a day or so. It should be renewed night and morning. The free use of lemon juice and sugar \ will always relieve a cough. A leuiou j eaten before breakfast every day for a week or two will entirely prevent the feeling of lassitude peculiar to the approach of spring. Perhaps its most valuable property is its abso lute power of detecting any of the in jurious and even dangerous ingredi ents entering into the composition of so very many of the cosmetics and face powders iu the market. Every lady should subject her toilet powder : to this test. Place a teaspoouful of the suspected powder in a glass and add the juice of a leuiou. If efferves cence takes place it is an infallible proof that the powder is dangerous, j and its use should be avoided, as it will ultimately injure the skin and destroy the beauty of the complexion, j —Concord Patriot. -— j Sheep.—A flock of sheep may be i made the most profitable of farm stock, both iu return of money and of manure. By feeding a small flock, well, through the whiter, their value may be easily doubled. Bui the feed ing should be liberal and the care unremitting. The chief requisites for j success with sheep are, to provide abundant good food and pure mil water ; to feed and water regularly ; to provide fresh pure air, and to avoid dampness. When feeding sheep for i market, it is well to try the weights I every second week, and note the i increase. The effects of the feeding can thus be readily ascertained and changes made if it is thought»neces ! sary. It is said tliat four months of sun aud rain on a manure heap will di-! miuish its fertilizing value one-half. | We do not believe this. A solid high ! pile of manure covered, with a strata of dirt will lose nothing. A thin pile of manure will undoubtedly leach out soon, but if the manure pile is large and high, the rain keeps it from tiring. Chicked Pie.—Make a goad bis cuit crust; have the chicken boiled and seasoued as for stewed chicken put it in a pan lined with the crust, addiug gravy to nearly cover the chicken; put on a thickdop crust, making a small slit iu it, bake till you can scrape a fork ou the under side of the crust without finding dough on it. Send us two dollars and subscrib ’ for the Sun. 15alky Houses.—lbe Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recommends the following rnles for the treatment of balky horses; 1. Put the horse upon the neck, ex amine the harness carefnlly, first on oue side then on the othe-, speaking encouragingly while doing so; then jump iuto the wagon and give the word go; generally he will obey. 2. A teamster in Maine says he can start the worst balky horse by taking him out o/ the shafts and makiug him go round in a circle. If tho first dam e of this kind doesn’t cure him the second one will be sure to do it. d. To cure a balky hors?, simply place your baud over the horse’s nose and shut off the wind till he wants to go, and then let him go. 4. The brains of horses seem to en tertain but one idea at a time, thus continued whipping only coufirmshis stubborn resolve, if you cau by any means give him a new subject to think of, you w ill have no trouble i,p starting him. A simple remedy is to take a couple of turns of stout twine around the fore leg, just below the knee, and tie in a bow-knot. At the first check he will go dancing off, and after going a short distance, you can get out aud remove the string to pre vent injury to the teudou in your fur ther drive. Chabcoal as an Absobbent.— The absorptive power of charcoal is well known in the aits. Its capacity ia tiiis direction is most remarkable. Accurate experiment has proved that in twenty lour hours it would absorb ninety times its own volume of am lnouiacal gas, eighty-five times its * volume ot muriatic acid gas, and six ty-five tunes its volume of sulphur ous acid gas. It is this remarkable quality that makes it so valuable in destroying odor, color, taste iu rnauy substances, and preserving meets vegetables and fruit, from rapid de cay. Its use as a filter iu cisterns is well known and its value., .here, de [pends upon liie same quality . It se parates and appropriates to itself tiie decaying matter and other impurities in water, rendering it pure aud sweet. If placed ou the surface of the soil, it will gather from the air moisture aud gases and impart them to the grow ; iug plants. Ou the same principles | its value iu the barnyard, stables and hog pen, as an absorptive agent, is incalculable. When used for this i purpose to form the basis of manure, it should be in the powdered state.— Ohio Fanner. Scotch Buns.—Take five pounds of washed and picked currants, or two pounds of stoned raisins and three pounds of currants, twelve ounces of butter, one pound of blanch ed almonds and one pound of candied peel. Mix these well together with two pounds and a quarter of plaiu bun dough, or the same quantity of bread dough aud four-ounces of moist sugar ; add a little ground giuger, allspice aud cinnamon, to make the whole a rich flavor. Make up the dough along with the butter, roll it into a cake, put the ftuit iu the mid dle to the thickness of nearly an inch, fold the dough round it, Patten the top, then dock it and- bake in a mod 1 crate dVe1i, having just previously j washed over the top with the white of ; an egg and milk. Chicken Salad.—Boil as many chickens as desired to use, and cut j the white part up fine. Afterwards prepare the celery, same quantity of i as the chicken. To oue fowl, use I eight hard boiled eggs, and nearly a pint of good sweet oil. Kub the ; yolks through a colander aud mix with them dry mustard and cayenne j pepper to your taste. Add the cele ry previously chopped fine, or about j half inch pieces, mix all well, the last | thing before serving, iu a large meat | dish. Cold meats, lamb, mutton, | turkey or any fowl, mixed thus for | tea or breakfast, is very nice. A very little vinegar may sometimes be ad ! ded ifliked. Bark yard manure must remain the backbone of profitable farming hence it should be guarded with spe cial care. Manures should invariably be uuder cover, and in the absence of proper shelter, they should be pro tected by a thick coat of dry earth, road scrapings of sods aud mold. Do not permit your most valuable aid to increased profits to blow off with every wind, or wash away with every rain. I ' -— ! Stale Bread.—A good way to | use up stale breads Take slices of | bread and butter, chop fine, aDd put into a pudding dish ; take two eggs, beat them aud mix with milk enough 1 to cover the bread, and bake.
