Farmhouse Notea. Lemon Taffy. ? Boil together until candy is formed throe pounds of fair i brown sugar, a quarter of a pound of butter and one pint of vinegar. It much resembles lemon candy. 1 SlapJacks.?Dissolve a tablespoonful C of bi-carb<>nate of soda in a little warm !1 water, and stir it into a quart of sour ' milk; add three well beaten eggs and i flour enough to make a very thin batter. Beat it till light; grease a spider and set , it over the fire. Put on batter enough to ' make a round, thin cake, turn it when half done, and bake brown and light. ; Pile the slap jacks on hot plates, with , butter, sugar, and spice on each one. Cut the pile down in quarters, and serve very hot. ( Baked Beans?Norwich.?Take small : white beans, put to soak at 6 p. m., in a ! 1 deep vessel; change the water late in the i evening, and again next morning, and < " * * ? __ \ parboil tor two hours, cnanging tne water at the end of the second hour. Then pour off nearly all the water: take r$w pork !5 scoured on top; put the beans in a deep j1 dish, the pork in the middle, sinking it ] so as to have it just level with the surf ice. j Add a very little molasses, and hake at . least six hours, raising the pork toward the last so that it may crisp on top. ; ' Poached Egos.?Boil a pint of milk. ' While boding beat six egg? to a froth. 1 Just before the milk begins to boil, add i half a tablespoonful of butter, and a tea- ] spoonful of salt, and stir into it; then pour in the eggs, stir without ceasing, } * but gently till it thickens?not more j ' than two minutes. Take it from the : i stove or range, and continue to stir half i a minute or so, and then pour it over . two or three thin slices of toasted bread, which lias been spread with butter, ard ( all prepared iD a deep dish before the eggs are put into the milk. This is very j nice for breakfast. i Unfailing Sponge-Cake.?Weigh one ( pound of fresh eggs in the shell.an equal weight of pulverized white sugar, half a pound of tine flour. Break the eggs and j beat separately the yolks and whites , i We always, when practicable, have one j t person to beat the yolks steadily the ; same length of time U takes ano lier person to beat the whites until they stand 1 up perfectly stiff and dry. Add the sifted 1 sugur gradually to the yolks, then mix i in the whites. Lastly, cream gently in |, the flour, and be sure not to beat at all ' . afterward, or you will certainly spoil the j cake. Grate in the peel of one lemon, ' and add also its strained juice; more if j < tbe fruit is indifferent. Lemon is incoin- j. parablv to be preferred as the'seasoning , for sponge-cake, but if they are not to be obtained, substitute mace. 1 For Beginners with Bees.?A writer 1 offers this trio of suggestions: Do not ! go headlong into this or any other \' branch of rural industry. Bo content , with small beginnings, and take time to gather experience. Commence with one stock of bees and before you buy even j; one, get some recent treatise on bee '; keeping and post yourself, at least in re- j gain to the outlines of apiarian science. Begin with a movable frame hive of somesort. Bees ha\e been kept ad vantage- ' ously, and may l>e still, in straw or com- i mon box hives; but to attain the bejt re- , suits a movable frame hiv< is necessary, j This kind cf hive admits of access to tinbees, control over them, and from one = season's observation in such a hive more < may be learned about bees than by keep- , mg them 20 years in a straw or box hive. A single stock in such a hive will cost about ten dollars inclusive of patent right and surely t his is not an investment *-, uith. t.bat >i?wl UUV. , body. Do not expect sudden and large . profits, nor be discouraged by reverses. There is 110 speculation 111 bee-keepiug. any more than iu any other branch of ] rural economy. Here, as elsewhere, dilligence, care, energy and persever- ; ance are essential to success. < A Father's Advice to a Bride.? i Said a young husband, whose business ( speculations were unsuccessful, "My wife's silver tea set doomed me to financial ruin. It involved a bundled unexpected expenses, which, in trying to meet, has made ] me the bankrupt I am."' His is the expeiience of others, who, less wise, do not 1 know the goblin of the house working its ( destruction. A sagacious father of great wealth exceelinL'lv mortified his daughter ' by ordeiingit to be printed on her wedding card-, "Xo preset it except those t adapted to an income of SI,000." Slid he, "You inu-t not expert to begin life in the style I am a.Je, by many years labor to indulge; and 1 know of nothing that : will tempt you to try more than the well- ; intentioued but pernicious gifts of rich | fi ten Is." Srtcli advice to a daughter was j timely. If other parents would follow the ; same plan, young men would be spared j years of incessant toil and anxiety ; they would not find themselves on the down- ! ward road, because their wives had worn | all their salary, or expended it on the appointment of the hou-e. The late o! tlie poor man who found a linch pin, ard felt obliged to make a carriage to tit it, is the fate of the husband who finds his bride in possession of gold and silver valuables, and j no large income to support tfie owner's j gold and silver style.

There are no words or names ' of more than six syllables. Amising.?There was an amusing case ' in the Municipal Court, Boston, the other 1 dav. A man was brought to the front ot * 1 the dock, charged " ith assaulting Ins wife ; but when the w .nan was called upon to ^ testify, she w. n't positive in regard to ' his identity. She bad been married six ' years, but cou'dt't swear that this man ( was on was not her husband. He declared he never saw her before, and was, The Lightning Eod Man. He called in all his radiant beauty and nimitable cheek. Unfor unately we vere in a healthy condition, and he was lot denied admittance. We knew at >nce that he was the lightning rod man, ind we groaned in anticipation of the oming affliction. "The editor," he isked, with a bow. " No, theeeditor has just gone out to iill a life insurance man." " Well, I can explain the matter to fou. Being a man of literary attainments, you undoubtedly take an interest u science, which in a few years has jovered the earth with railroads and :elegnphs, which has filled the rivers ivitli steamboats, and the sea with floatug palaces, which has found means to lefy the lightning of heaven?" ' We take not tlie slightest interest in science. We regard Robert Fulton as m iinposter, Stephensou as a nuisance, Morse as an unmitigated ruffin, and liink that Benjamin Franklin should J jave been tied to the tail of his own cite, and sent on a voyage of discovery imong the thunderbolts. He it was who nvented lightning rod men, the vilest | .vretches who encumber the earth. A j iw should be at once passed giving j very man in the community a right to till any lightning rod man on sight, or j jail him to the chimney, and stick a ightniug rod down his throat, so that lie first sportive thunderbolt that should ome that way should annihilate him." We were getting angry, and we are nild spoken in our auger. He now jlanted himself in a chair, as serene and ;alm as though we had been calling him i benefactor to the human race. " You don't understand this lighting rod?it is the most recent, inveniou. unlike anything ever before pro luced. It will yet take rank with such uventions us printing, the steam engine md the telegraph. The world will yet revere the inventor as a benefactor second to no one man who has ever ived. The lightning rod is for protecting the person, not dwelling. It is a composition of India rubber, iron, and i chemical known only to the inventor, [t is to be wound around the body, and uu from the crown of the hat to the hoot heel. Lightning will have no power to harm the man who wears it. The rod is also a protection against violence. A man in Nevada wore one of diem. In a drunken row he was shot at seventeen times without being injured, x hatchet exploded and killed the man in whose hands it was when he attemptid to strike the man who wore the charmed lightning rod?that is the name it bears. He took a voyage to San Francisco. On the way the train on which he was travelling was pitched down a gorge 1500 feet in depth. Everybody else on the train was killed, and the cars and locomotive were dashed to pieces, and he walked to San Francisco without experiencing the slightest inconvenience. The man who uses the charmed lightning rod cannot die by violence?it is doubtful, indeed, if he will ever die, as no person who has purchased one has yet died." He would have continued, but we interrupted him with ?'' You wear one jf them ?" " I wouldn't be without one of tlieiu for sums untold?would sooner do without food and sleep." ' And would it be impossible to hurt pou while you wear it V" ' As impossible as it would be for a Hy to eat up the Rocky Mountains." ' Will you wait for us for a few minutes, while we give some necessary lirections ?" ' Certainly," was his instant reply. My entire afternoon is at your service." We went out and collected all the men an ployed in the building and tohl them :lie circumstances, and each man armed limself at once. None of them had jver killed a man, and each was anxious :o enjoy the luxury of trying to do so. We got a neighbor who owns a Russian loodhound as big as a Shetland pony, :o bring him into the building. We hen marched double file into the ditorial rooms. The man with the dog led the way. The noise caused the lightning man to turn his head. He jave one howl, and fled through the nick door, followed by a volley of shot md the Russian bloodhound. We followed them up Franklin Street and across :he Park to Broadway. There we stopjied, but the bloodhound did not return for :wo days, and there was a fiendish glare in l.'is eyes as though he had been enjoying himself in his savage way. We amch fear that the L. K. M. has been ligested ere this. The fate of this ivretched man should be a lesson to all igents who think of invading the sacred recincts of our sanctum, or who try to mpose upon the credulity of the editor. The Inventoi. of Spoon Fishing.? riie inventor of "spoon fishing is said o be an old man named Do Custle, who, 'or twenty-two years, has been lock naster on the canal around ike Morris>urg rapids on the St. Lawrence river, lie had been fishing oflf one of the islands w.u.n- *1,^ lilllc success, and ooking down from his boat into the dear, green water, could see the fish noving lazily about. In taking a pinch >t snuff from his vest pocket he pulled >ut a silver sixpence, which, falling into lie river, went wavering down through lie water. The glitter attracted a large pickerel, which dashed for the sixpence tud swallowed it. The sportsman pondered over the matter, and on his return liorne confiscated his wife's brass kettle, md cutting a piece out of it, soldered it :o a hook and set out with this new bait.

After a struggle of an iiour, he succeeded in landing the largest fish he had ever jaught, a muscalonge weighing fortyiight pounds. The annual product of,'nay in the United An Apt Pnpil. The New York correspondent of the C'eveland Herald tells how a poor young man of New York City came to own lots on Staten Island. Two years ago a hotel keeper, well 1 known throughout this country, opened , an elegant hotel at one of the most fre. quented summer resorts. lie wanted a clerk. Application for the position was made by a young man, a hne-lookiug fellow who confessed to being very poor. If you would share my rainy-day reflections you must not lose sight of the fact ?that he was indeed dreadfully poor. ' j Mr. L did not think less of hiin because of his poverty, though afterward he had occasion to think of it as an existing fact at the time tie was employed. For he did employ him, and proceeded to ini struct him in regard to his duties. The burden of his instructions related to the 1 bills, and were rather singular. lie told ; the poor young man that when he made ' I out a bill for a party he should make it 1 appropriate?which meant in harmony ' with their style and appearance, number of trunks, and amount or luggage generally, diamonds, and so on, and above all, 1 it should have no connection with what f they had actually got in the way of extras 1 or anything. He informed the young man that people generally who stopped c at his house did not notice a bill of items ' "Did lie comprehend ?" lie thought he 1 did?and time proved that he did. The hotel flourished meanwhile. The 1 tlite patronized it?people you know, ^ with a loyal contempt for items. I Near the close of this last season a gentleman from New York stepped in the office ol the C Hotel and asked ' the proprietor for the clerk, this poor ' young man. Mr. L told him he was ' out. would be in presently. Would he ' wait? "Well, yes," said the stranger. ' "I am anxious to see B (the clerk); am negotiating with him for a line of 1 property over on Staten Island." "Oh, then it can't be B - you want ' to see. He hasn't any property," Mr. L politely explained. "Yes, it is B said the stranger. "You have a clerk by that name, haven't you?" , "Yes," said the poor young man's em- 1 plover, confidently, "but he is poor; has nothing; came to me very poor, two 1 years ago. You can wait and see him, of course; but I do assure you you have 1 made a mistake." At this moment B came in, walked 1 up to the stranger at once, and shook hands. MV T srmko nn. "Here. B . this gentleman called to see you, he says j about some property you own on Staten Island. You haven't any property there, have you?" "Yes, sir," replied the young man, modest, though unembarrassed. **IIow does this happen?" questioned Mr. L . Didn't you come here owning nothing?very poor?" The poor young man straightened up with the air of an honest man, discharging a sacred duty, and thus he did say. "Yes, sir; I came into your employ poor. You instructed me to swindle and cheat our guests. My holding my position depended on my following instructions. I did follow them, and 1 put a share of the results in my own pocket. To-day, I am comparatively rich, and I own that property this gentleman wishes to buy. Now, what can you do with me? I should really like to know." A Well Cultivated Ear.?A most remarkable illustration of the powei which a telegraphic operator acquires to distinguish individuals by their touch upon the instrument, has just been af! forded by Mr. Hempstead, one of the ! operators in the Western Union Telegraph Company's office in thts city. About a fortnight ago, Mike W. Slierj man,formerly an expert and well known telegraph operator here, escaped from the Middleton Iusane Asylum, where he i has been confined, and though thorough j search was made for him, lie successfully i eluded the people who were on his track until Monday night. While Hempstead ! was at work in the office here that night, j he suddenly iceogiiized among the clatter of a score of messages passing over the wires, a sound which he at once declared was the touch of the mi>siug Mike. It proved to he a message from Wallingford, and an investigation showed that Mr. Hempstead was quite right in ascribing it to the insane man, who was found there, he having dropped into the office in the former place and taken a hand at his old business.-Ifirt/ord Times j City Fakmi.no.?The Cleveland Ladtr \ tells the following: "A city chap from i this town, spending a few weeks in the country with a farmer friend asked to I?? I permitted to 'abstract the lacteal fluid I fiorn the bovine group at eventide.' As j soon as the former found out that all he wanted was to milk the cows some night he cheerfully assented, and with other members of the family seated himself on the barn yard fence to see the fun. Hardly had the tight pantalooued chap j begun to pull on the peculiar natural appendage which all who desire milk j must manipulate, (except milkmen who | live near a pond,) when the patient cow i looked around and saw the ' what-is-it' | at her side. Fetching him a whip in the eyes with her tail, she at the same time | projected her bind foot with light- ! ning-like rapidity, and while the milker was balancing on his ear in the mudpuddle, the sportive cow sent the milk i pail .spinning after him.

He was strong and vigoious, and arrived next morning before a cottage and stopped to get something to eat, and j;et a refuge while he reposed a little. But he found the inmates of the cottage n the greatest distress. Four little children sat trembling in the corner?the mother sat weeping and tearing her hair, and the father walked the floor in much agony. The galley slave asked what was ;he matter, and the tather replied that hey were that morning to be turned out jf doors, because they could not pay their itv/vn f/\ /lner\oir 1 CLIl. 1UU fCC II1C HI I > til lu vi i. u|/un, ?aid the father, "my wife and little ones leprived of food and shelter, and 1 with>ot means to provide for them." The icnvict listened to the tale with tears of sympathy, and said : "I will give you the neans. I have just escaped from the galeys. Whoever brings back an escaped >risoner is entitled to a reward of fifty ranes. IIow much does the rent amount :o?" ''Forty francs," said the father. My children should starve before I would lo so base a thing." The generous man nsisted, and declared he would go and jive himself up if the father would not ;ake him. The latter yielded, and taking lis preserver by the arm, led him to the ;ity, and to the Mayor's office. Every jody was surprised that a little man had >een able to capture such a strong young ellow The fifty francs were paid, and :he prisoner sent back to the galleys; jut after he was gone the father asked a private interview with the Mayor, to ivhom he told the whole story. The Mayor was so much affected that he not mly added francs to the father's purse, but wrote immediately to the Minister of Justice, begging the noble prisoner's release. The minister examined into the affair, and finding it was a comparatively small offence which condemned the young man to the galleys, and that he had already served out halt of his term, ordered tils release. Care For the Eyes.?Multitudes of men and women have made their eyes weak for life bv the too free use of the eyesight, reading small print and doing line sewing. In doing these things it is well to observe the following rules in the use of the eyes: Avoid all sudden changes between light and darkness. Never read by twilight on a verv cloudy day. Never sleep so that on waking the _l.oll nn fin. liorlit, nf flip win cjrio i v,,,. w -o? dow. Do not use the eyes by light so scant that it requires an effort to discriminate. Never read or sew directly in front of the light of a window or door, ft is best to have light fall from above, obliquely over the left shoulder. Toe much light creates a glare and pain, and confuses the sight. The moment thai you are sensible of an effort to distinguish, that moment stop and talk, walk or ride. As the sky is blue and tin earth is green, it would seem that the ceiling should be a bluish tinge, and thr carpet green, and the walls of some mellow tint. The moment that you are in stinctively prompted to rub the eyes, that moment cease using them. If tin eyelids are glued together 011 waking, dc not forcibly open them, but apply the saliva with the finger, and then wasl your eyes and face with warm water. A Shocking Chime.?Annie Murray ;i married woman with a family of smal children, living in South Brooklyn, lt?fI her children to make a short visit to tin wife of Patrick McClosky, residing or an upper floor of the same ouilding. After concluding her visit she left Mrs, McClosky's apartment to return to lie; own, and was met on the landing at the top of the stairs by McClosky, who com menced abusing lier in a violent manner. He seized and hurled her from a window into the yard below. In falling, herboch struck on the sharp points of a pickel fence literally impaling her alive. Hei groans attracted the attention of neigh bors, who came to her assistance, anc the suffering woman was conveyed t< the Long Island College Hospital. Airs Murray who was scarcely able to speak said that her husband had left her ii May, last and she has not seen bin since; that she gave McClosky noprovo cation whatever for the assault upon hei and that he is seldom sober, but couh not say whether he was or was notdrunl on that day.

Catgut.?Once upon a time a mat frequented the refreshment rooms of one of the railway stations, who made ii pleasant for the waiters by always ask ing for the most expensive thing on tht hill but marked oil for the uay, oeiort ordering the bread and butter which iuvariably constituted his dinner.

" I dislike the nam- of a mechanic," and she turned up her pretty nose. This was the last time that young man visited that young lady. He is now a wealthy man, and has ore of the nicest women in the country for a wife. The lady who dis liked the name of a mechanic is now the wife of a miserable tool?a regular vagrant about grog shops, and the soft, verdant, miserable girl is obliged to take in wasting to support herself and children.

One I class forces the system into preternatural . activity; the other depresses and weakens it. Both are wrong. To inflame the blood of an invalid with medicated alcohol : 's as dangerous as to apply undue steam . pressure to a weak boiler; and to prostrate , the physical energy, which is the natural opponent of disease, by depleting treatment, is an act of almost equal temerity. There is a medium between these two extremes, and Dr. Joseph Wai.kbr, to whom the world owes the famous California Vinegar Bitters, has been fortunate enough to strike it. He has pro? duced some simple vegetable element ? without the admixture of any distilled or { fermented fluid, a specific comprising the important properties of a wholesome tonic, a gentle evacuaut, a purifier of the , secretions, a pulmonic, a sedative, and a I powerful anti-bilious agent. Never before were these six sanative qualities compre^ bended in one medicine, and never before ' did one medicine cure so many different ! diseases.

To this and other cause-?especially excess of moisture in the atmo phere?may be ascribed the prevalence of acute disorders of the stomach, bowels and liver at this j season. Every person of bilious habit is liable to he rmj bilious in the fall. Then, too, all persons whose digestion is weak are more than ordinarily dyspeptic. 1 and individuals predisposed to colic, diarrhea and dysentery are particularly likely to be aitacked by these comt plaints.

To obtain this blessing in all its plontitude where it does ' 1 not exist, and to preserve and perjietuate it where it 5 | does exist, Hostetter's Stomach Bitter* is oarne*tly rec| ommended.
