[ L'lVpfeJ.h>*c's "Ch'ftlrm of llir Lord's S up/it r.'f ? -oREC2IP? FOR POTATOE PUD^IPJG. The author of the 'Widow Bedott' papers furnishes an article for the Saturday (ia/.ette, from which we extract the following ninthprovoking recipe for a potatoe pudding. -Mrs. MufRaw, we will premise, is the cook of Mrs. Phil pot, wife of the candidate for Congress, and Mrs. Darling is the wile of a worthy mechanic, whose vote Col. Philpot is ambitious to obtain. Mrs. Darling calls np"ii .Mrs. Philpot, and the hitter introduces her to Mrs. Mudlaw, her c-ool^ when the following conversation takes place: Miss Philpot says vnu want to get my reccijit for potaloe piulden.' 9 IV.flimr *T Wfttilil ]|i? . ie>, ^ obliged to you for tie dirt-el ions,' ami she took out of her pocket a pencil ami paper to write it (town. 'Well, 'tis an excellent (Hidden,*said Mudlaw, complacently; 'for my part, 1 like it about as well as any (Hidden I make, and that's saving a good deal, I can tell you, for 1 understand mnkin' a rrrent variety. "I'aint so awful licit ?s some, to be sure. Now thereY4he Cardiuelle pnddcii, and the Washington pudden, and the Lay I'ayctte pudden, ami the?" 'Yes Mrs, Darling liked il very much? how do yon make V 'Wal, I pee! my potatoes and bile em in L fair water. I always let the water bile before P I put em in. Some folks let their pointers lie and sog in the water ever so long, before it biles; but I think it spiles em. 1 alwa\s make it a pint to4|kve the water bile?' flow many potatoes V v* *Wal, I always take about as many potatcrs as I think I shall want. I'm generally governed by the size of the pudden 1 want to make. If it's a large pudden, why 1 take quite a number; but if it's a small one, why. then I don't take as many. As quick as they're done, I ? ?..! ? ---I ?... .it- Una 'IB f C.H11 iTfit Utnt' fill U|> auvi oiii0 full o' lump?. I never ?! >. if there's any tiling I linto, it's lumps in per; sera. I wont have em. Whether I'm smashing uotaters for pudrion* or for vegetable use, I smash it till there aint the size "of ji lamp in it. If J cant got it fine witliont sifting, why I sift it. Once in a while, when I'm otherwnys engaged, I set the girl to mashinon't. Wal, she ll give it three or four jams, and come along. '-VIisa Mudlaw, is the j otater fine enough ?' Jupiter Rummin! that's llu* time I coin" as near gitiiu mail as I ever : allow myself to conic, for I make it a pint i never to have lumps?' 4Yes, I know it is very important. What next {' *Wal, then I put in my hut tor, in winter time I melt it a little, not enough to make it. ilv. hut jest so's to soften it.' '.'low ir.uch hotter does it require?' j 4WiiI, 1 always take hotter ai-cordin to the size of the pndtlen; a large piuldeii needs a good sized Jump o' hotter, hut not h>o much, j Ami I'm always particular to have inv butter fre.-h and sweet. Some folks think it's no mat; tor what sort o' hotter they use for cookiu, hut / .1... rir ..it tliiu,r< t d,> do.?>>!?!> stronir. I i I. .... O" " - _ 1 f frowy, rancid butter. For pity's sake have your butter fresh.' | 'How much butter did you say f | ' Wal tlia.t depends, as i said before, ou what sized pud.ieii you want to make. And another l tiii g that, regulates the quantity of butter I ! use is the 'mount o' cream I take. I always | put in more or less cream ; when I ^ave abun: dance boa e u well. J t does distress me the way same talks beat eggs. I always want to have em thoroughly beat i??r everything I u>e em in. It tries my patience most awfully to 1 have any body round me that wont beat eggs enough. A spell ago we had a darkey to help I in tiie kitchen. One day f was a inakin sponge j cake, and having occasion to go up stairs atI ter something, 1 sot her to beatiu eggs. W'al, | what do you think the critter done! Why, she j whisked em lound a feu times, and turned cm I right into the other ingrojienres, that I'd got I weighed out. M li^n 1 come back and saw i what she'd done, my gracious! 1 came as nigh j to lnt.iu my temper ;is I ever a tow invselt to 1 come. 'Twas awful provokiu! I always want ; tin- kitchen lu !|) to do tilings as I want to have j out done. But 1 never saw a darkey yet that I ever done anything light. They're a lazy, I slangliteriti set. To think of her spilin' that ! enke ?o, when I'd told her over and over that 1 j alwavsinade it a pint to have iuv etrgs thoroughI ly beat!' 'Yes,it was too had. Do you use fruit in the pudding?' 'Wal, that's jest as you please. You'd better he governed by your own judgment as to j that. .Some like currants and some like raisins, | and then agin soino don't like narry one. If you use raisins, for pity's sake pick out the stuns It's awful to have a body's teeth come grtndin onto a raisin stun. I'd ruthcr have my ears boxt any time.' 'How many raisins must I take?' ?\v..i ...a /,,? m-mv?its ant to make the pud ?. .11, .......? J , Hen too heavy, you knew; ami when it's heavy, it ain't so light and good. I'm a great hand?' Yes. What do you use for flavoring?' 'There agin you'll have to exercise your own judgment. tSoine like one thing, and some another, you know. If you go the hull finger on temperance, why some other kind o' llavoriu'M do as wine or bandy, I sposc. But whatever you make up your mind to use, bo ! particular to git in a suflieiency, or else your puddoift! be Hat. 1 always make it a pint?' 'How long must it bake?' 'There's the great thing, after all. The bakin's the main pint. A potato puddeu, of all puddens has got to be baked jest right. For it it bakes a loulle too much, its apt to dry it up; and then agin if it don't bake quite enough, its sure to taste potalery?and that spiles it, you ' know.' % 'How long, should you think?' 'Wail, (lint depends a good dc.il 011 the heat of your oven. If yon have a very hot oven, ! twoii't do to leave it too long, and if your oven ain't po very hot why you'll be necessitated to leave it in longer.' 'Well, how can I tell anything about it? 'Why, I always let cm bake till I think they're i done?that's the safest way. Intake it a pint to have em baked exactly right. It's very important in all kinds o'hnke, pies, bread, puddens, and every thing?to have em baked precisely long enough, and jest l ight. Wome folks don't scent to have no system at all about their bakiu. One time they'll hum their bread to a crisp, and then agin it'll he so slack tain'tfit to eat. .Nothing hurts my feelings so much as to see things overdone or slack-baked. Here on; l y (other day, Lorry, the girl that Miss Philpot ! dismissed yesterday, come within an ace of letlitt'my bread burn n;?. My'back was turned a miiiuit, and what should she do but go to stuffin -~A - -I- - - ? - I l'-., - -ii In If I WOOil mill lite MUVf (It liir H\)MUiroi> loiv. mi i Iwd'nt a found it out jest when I did, my bread | would a been split as sure as I'm a live woman. Juhitcr Kamruiu! I was about as much decomposed as I ever allow myself to git! I told Miss I'hilpot I would'ut stall it no longer?one of us must quit?either Lorry or ine must walk.' | 'So you've no rule about making this pudding?' 'No rule" said Mudlaw, with a look of intense surprise. 'Yes,' said Mrs. Darling, 'you seem to have | no rule for anything about it.' | "No rule!' screamed the indignant cook, starling up, while her red fare grew ten times redder, and her little black eves snapped with rage. 'No rules!' and she planted herself in front of Mrs. Darling, erecting her fleshy figure to its lull height oj majestic immpiness, nuu extending the forefinger of her right hand till it reached an alarming propiuitv to that lady's nose. 'No rules! do \jnu tell me I've tio rules? .Me! that coo'sed in the first families for fifteen years, and always gin satisfaction, to bo told by such as you that 1 hain't no rules!' Thus far hail .Mud I aw proceeded, and I know not to what length she would have 'allowed herself' to go, and had not the sudden entrance of Col. Philpot interrupted her. He being a person of whom she stood somewhat in awe, particularly 'just at this lime,' she broke ofrin the midst of her tirade, and casting a look of ?. ft- \I mu n?,.|,.w, eotfLfitod tfl IlieiJiftUie UI>^UJl <11 .'J JO.
