r Little Fingers. Ah ! I should have wandered far Down sin's wild and lonely track? Only clinging firm and fast, ' Little fingers held me back. ' Little fingers, soft and fair, < Little fingers, clinging tight, 1 Led me from the evil way, ] Held me to tho true and right. When a heavy midnight gloom Hang above my whole of life; ' And the battle and the storm ' Made each hour a fearful strife; < Whea, in beauty of the May, < I had neither love nor part, j And the roses of the June Brought no fragrance to my heart; J When the love I doted on Fell like ashes Hi the dust, And the leprosy of sin 1 Touched the anchor of my trust; ! When so full of selfishness, j Every lip filled every word, j And all souls secmol icy founts Where sweet waters never stirred; All the world a wearv wav, 1 Wearv-, wean-, and so long! With no justice but in might. And no hepa but for the strong? I Oh! I should have faltered then, } Wandered down sin's blood-red track, Only, clasping soft and close, Little fingers held me back. Farmhouse Notes. Smut ix "Wheat.?For four bushels of seed dissolve one pound of blue vitiiol in water enough to soak the wheat; let it soak six, twelve or twenty-four hours, drain off, and roll the seed in plaster or ashes; sow before it bas t>me to heat. This will cure any seed however smutty. Drting pfmpkixy,?Peel anil cut as for stewing ; then slice very thin (it can be done with a cabbage-slicer); then spread on tins or other dryers and put in the stove oven with a modern heat. It will retain its natural flavor better than any ether way. Iu preparing it for pies, soak it in water a few hours, and stew in the same water. Preserved Apples. ? Weigh equal quantities of good brown sugar and of apples ; peel, core and mince them small. Boil the sugar, allowing to every three pounds a pint of water ; skim it well, and boil it pretty thick ; theu add to the apples the grated peel of one or two lemons, and two or three pieces of white ginger if you have it. Boil till the apples fall and look clear and yellow. This preserve will keep for years.

It prevents many unpleasant : diseases, and contributes largely to the fatty secretions. A few spoonsful of pulverized brimstone or dour of sulphur i in a little dough, should be administered i as often as once a fortnight to swine ( while fattening. How to Preserve Vegetable Marbows.?Peel the marrows, take away the seeds, cut the vegetable into small pieces, j ^ To every pound of marrow add half a 1 pound of sifted loaf sugar, the rind and \ juice of a lemon, half an ounce of grated ^ ginger. Put these into a basin and let them stand all night. The next day pour 1 the juice into ajian and let it boil up, then ( add the vegetable. Boil all together an hour and a half, or until it becomes thick and transparent. If put into a mould which will not affect the acid, the preserve will look very nice when turned out for use. Most vegetables may be prepared < the same way. j Curing IIams.?Charles Jessop fur- j nished the Maryland Ag'l Society the following recipe:?21-2 lbs. saltpetre, dried 1 and finely powdered, 1-2 bushel best Liver- 1 pool salt, 3 lbs. brown sugar, and 1-2 gal- t Ion molasses. Mix all in a vessel, rub , the meat.well with same, and pack with ) skin down. The above is the exact 1 amount required for 1000 lbs. of pork. 1 After being in salt three to four weeks, i take out, wash clean the pieces, dry, and f hang it up for smoking. Three weeks is sufficient to smoke them thoroughly?by tire made of hickory wood. When * smoKed, take down and bag, or place away < in dry chaff or cut straw. Examine them j occasionally, and if found to be at all damp, renew the packing with dry material. 1 Progress of Mormonlsxn. f The subject of Mormonism is discussed 5 by the London Daily X?ics, which notes 1 the fact that appearances show that it i is flourishing. It was predicted that the J opening of the Pacific Pail way would be 1 immediately followed by the collapse of ] the Mormon system, seeing that railway J communications corrupt good Mormons. 1 The discovery and working of the silver ; mines of Utah was next thought to be '< fatal to Brigham Young and his followers, * Internal dissensions, coupled with legal 1 prosecutions, were finally regarded as l the forerunners of the dissolution of the ( Mormon organization. Yet no one of ! these influences lias had the anticipated i results. The Saints are still potent and ' ] av s\f tit a nri'A tf ! 1 il~l ttilH J V/4 ^ivwv j < Salt Lake. Tlicy semi out missionaries < and gain proselytes. No less than 600 1 Mormons have just embarked from Liverpool on their way to the earthly Zion among the Rocky Mountains. Norway, Sweden and Denmark furnish one half of the recruits, England, Scotland and ] Wales the otberhalf. Some arc young . and some are old, the infaut at the breast i being seen in company with the oeta- ( genarian. These facts may be distaste- ' ful to many persons; nevertheless they are facts, and they admit of an explana- ' tion. What give^ to Mormonism its vitality and power is the circumstance that converts not only embrace a new form of ! * i . religion, but are provided with a ne w manner of life. While they are assured that in their persons tho promises of Scripture are to receive a marvelous fulfilment, they informed that for all devout Mormons farms are provided. I' tA two-fold appeal i3 made to them; their , religious tastes are gratified, and their ( longing for a comfortable home is grati fiod also. Heaven is promised them ' hereafter and a bouse and garden here below. For the time being nothing is, said about additional wives; polygamy ' having become a doctrine rather than a practice. Contrasted with the ordinary ^ missionary, or even with the missionaries who, in the name of Mahomet, offered unlielievers their choice between death 11 and the Koran, the missionaries of Brig- ' ham Young who labor among the poor of Europe, have a superiority to wliioh the emigrants who have left Liverpool j' for Utah, bear living and undeniable 11 testimony. | A Gigantic Fie Bakery. Tie baking may be called a new industry, and, at the same time, one essentially American. For the benefit of our foreign readers, we explain that in the United States a "pie" is the synonymous term for the English "tart" or French "tourte," meaning a compound generally suggestive of dire misery to dyspeptics, composed of fruit and two trusts of paste. The thick deep pastry of the vcnsion or beef of England and hie gras of France have their counterparts among u> as pot pies, of which the principal contents are chicken. Their habitat, if we may be allowed to use' a scientific term in the connection, is n?1 ?

Four great firms have united their forces in this city and have formed the Sew York Pie Baking Company. Fifty thousand pies are daily manufactured, And we are informed that, in event of a strong demand, as many as 65,000 can be supplied. The capital stock of the company is $300,000. The buildings are jonstructed of brick, and are admirably irranged for the purpose intended. They are three stories high, with basement, forming the letter L, occupying four full lots twenty-five by one hundred feet, making a total of one hundred and ifty feet either way. The office is located on the second floor of 82 Sullivan St. The first or ground floor is used as a retail department. In the rear are locat;ated the bakery, storerooms, ice house, vagon sheds, etc, In the basement are iffixed the ovens, ten in number, meas* iring ten by twelve feet, where also is in operation a new rotary device, which done will bake nine hundred pies per liour. The first floor above is apportioned to the engine, boiler and delivery rooms, The second floor is the pastry lepartment. where the mixing of the lough is done, and the third floor is given to the preparation of fruit, etc. On this floor is stationed a huge range, capable of cooking ten barrels of fruit at mce, also two huge copper kettles with a capacity of two barrels each. An Otis elevator is brought into service here, to hoist and lower tho pies and material of which they are composed. The weekly consumption of material is 110 barrels of flour, 42,000 pounds of mgar, 5,000 pouuds of lard, 500 barrels )f apples, 60,000 pounds pumpkins and sauashes. 60.000 eggs, 500 bushels ber ries in their season, 800 pounds of beet 'or inince, 1,500 pounds cocoanut, 100 aoxes of lemons, and spices accordingly, rhey also have in constant use about 150,000 pie plates, and give employnent to 100 workmen, running 35 wagms.?Scientific American. How Beecher Prepares his Sermons. If one will prepare as Mr. 15eecher loes, by, first, much study, and, second, nuch brooding, it may be safer to folow his example further, though probibly only very facile workers will be ible to do so. During the week two or hree topics lie in his mind as thore from vhich he will most probably select his lext Sabbath's discourses. His houghts turn to them ; his eyes gather llustrations for them ; his pencil, some;imes, though not often, jots them down ?the sermon, however, is rarely deanitely outlined in his mind. Ask him in Saturday night what he is going to areach on Sabbath morning, andhecanaot usually tell you ; Sabbath morning, ifter breakfast, h'o goes into his study, feels his various themes, takes one that seems ripest, skeletons the outline, selects his text and begins to write?at Eirst he writes felly, but asUiine goes en tiis pen leaves great gaps, sketches only it the beginning of separate paragraphs, then only the heads; sometimes the pencil finishes up the hints in the pulpit. His sermon at the beginning is read ; the commencement almost disappoints you ; but as he -warms he grows more md more oblivious of his notes ; his imagination fills up the gaps ; and the pulpit completes what the study only be?aH, The manuscript sermon is a literary curiosity, a study in itself. After sermon he goes home, eats a good dinner, goes to bed, sleeps away the afternoon, rises to a cup of coffee, and thence ?oe8 into his study to bring forth the ?veniug sermon by similar operation.?

There is no display in the library?the arrangements are of the simplest character. *>be spends much of her time alone in Prince Albert's room. She comes quietly in to dinner, with her knitting in her tiand, and retires early. She is a woman af great method. Iu all weathers she is 3een abroad.

She dresses consistently with the climate and tho weather ; and a fresh, comely, sensible-looking lady she is in her comfortable plain jacket and broad-brimmed straw hat. Ttrrible Fire in Boston. Boston has suffered from a firo which devastated acres of the finest buildings in America, and occasioned a loss greater j than that of the Chicago conflagration, although happily,it falls on a richer class of citizens, and thu3 cannot occasion as much suffering. The flames which commenced the awful work of destruction were first discovered about 7i o'clock Saturday night in the engine-room of the large four-story granite store, at the corner of Summer and Kingston streets, occupied by Tebbets, Baldwin Sc Davis, wholesale dry goods dealers. The fire must have been smoldering for some time, as when it was first discovered the flames had gained such volume as doomed the entire building. There was scarcely any wind stirring when the first alarm was given, and though the light of the fire was soon a bright one, nobody imagined that it would prove to be so appalling a disaster. When the firemen arrived on the ground they found that the flames had reached the fourth story of the building, and before they could get fairly to work they were driven from their posts by the intense heat. The buildings in the vicinity were all of granite, four stories high, each surmounted with a Mansard roof. The detached splinters flew readily, as the air was heated by the terrible heat, and flm flamAS hp<r?r? lifVlrinff the Mansard roof on the opposite side, far above the reach of the streams directed toward it from all quarters. The fire was constantly in the air and one building after another caught on the roof, and the flames skipped lightly along from one windowsill to another, so that in Jess than thirty minutes it became evideht that the whole city in one direction was at the mercy of the flames. Alarm followed alarm in quick succession, until the whole fire department was on the ground, and the men were doing all possible for human beings to do, to stay the fury of the flames. They erected huge barricades out of the fragments laying so plentifully about, and endeavored to carry their hose within effectual distance. But the effort proved abortive, for the barricades becamo heated, then scorched, and finally caught fire, thus giving additional food for the flames to feed upon. The wind rose as the conflagration increased and was now blowing fiercely, carrying the flames madly along in their work of destruction. Boofs fell in with a crash every moment, carrying with them the floors beneath,heavily freighted as they were with large stocks of valuable goods. As the interiors thus fell a prey to the element, walls began to bulge and to quiver, finally sinking to the pavement in huge masses of heated and blistered stone. Huge blocks of granite burst like bombs, and added their detonations to the horror of the scene. When the tenement houses at the upper end of Federal street began to catch fire, the scenes were intensified by the affrighted actions and loud cries of the inmates of those crowded edifices, Flying hither and thither in their frenzied toi-i-nv noon wnmon mi/1 fUiilflrpn rmlv added to the confusion,.without in the least helping themselves. Furniture was carried into the streets only to be broken and abandoned; from every window were thrown perishable articles, causing new dangers for those on the pavements. Palo faces rendered still more ghastly by the glare of blazing buildings, peeped from high windows, in abject terror at the prosj^ect. Loud crie3 for help were frequently heard, and it is quite certain that many of these piteous appeals where wholly in vuin, for many lives were undoubtedly lost, all trace of the missing persons having utterly disappeared When it had become evident that the flames could not be stopped by the exertions of the fire department, the Chief Engineer adopted the costly remedy of blowing up buildings, and soon was heard the measured tiamp of U. S. marines as they marched to the assistance of the police to take charge of the streets in the vicinity. Charges of powder were 'aid in the cellars in Milt street, ana in a few minutes the roar of numerous explosions was heard, and those terrible sounds were dearly welcome, for they indicated that the position was fully realized and that tho conflagration was being fairly choked. Three more explosions were heard, and immediately a large block in Devonshire street was blown partially into the air. Then came the turn of Federal street and quickly a great gap was made in that fine street. Shortly after the remainder of Devonshire street was blown up. Among the prominent buildings de 6troyed are the National Bank of North America, the Emigrant Savings Bank, the National IJevere Bank, the Everett, the Mouit Yernon, the Shawmut, and the Hide and Leather Banks. The Transcript building is about the only newspaper office gone, but the havoc among the great dry goods houses and the factories is awtul. The American Watch Company's great place, at the corner of Washington and Summer, has nothing left but the four bare walls. The immense dry goods houses of Jordan, Marsh <fc Co., Win. E. Laurence <fc Co., and Hovey & Co., are utterly destroyed. All the great houses in Temple Flace, in Arm street, in Winter, and along Tremont street from School to Winter have suffered severely, but the merchants removed most of their goods early in the morning. All the surrounding cities sent their fire apparatuses to the aid ot burning Boston, and extra trains were constantly arriving with help to subdue the flames The train from Worcester made the fortyfour miles in fourty-five minutes. The whole of the Fifth ward had been nearly destroyed, and from Summer street almost down to Milk a clean sweep had been made of everything on the east side of Washington street. The old South church, the famous sanctuary of many generations, on the Northwest corner c Washington and Milk streets, was no^ the objective point. If that succumbe* to the farious element it was general], conceded that the whole of the north an' west ends wonld follow. Thousand watched the old spire with breathles anxiety and prayed fervently that it migh be spared. The firemen worked with determination, inspired, it seemed, as i by Heaven, for an hour or more not les than fifty streams poured upon th ancient tabernacle and the burning build ings surrounding it. Steady but slow! the brave fellows seemed to get th mastery of the fiend, and finally, afte hours of persistent toil, they came ou triumphantly. The old "South" wa saved, and so was half of Boston. Thank* givings mingled with tears and "Go bless you " were showered in profusio upon the timely saviors. The whole ( Pearl and High streets, which were a voted exclusively to the boot and sho and leather and hide trade, are a heap < ruins. Every wholesale clothing boas* with a single exception, is burned, and bn three or four dry goods commissio houses are left standing. All the domef tic wool in the city has been burned, an the total number of pounds ot foreig and domestic fleece and pulled wool de stroyed by the fire cannot fall short c 8,000,000 pounds, while the entire stoci remaining in this market consists c foreign wool, and is less than 8,00 bales. The destruction ot boots, shoe and leather has been quite as complete a that of wool, although the stock in ware houses is much lighter at this season thai it would have been about a month later The wholesale clothing houses, with on or two exceptions, were completely de stroyed, although a considerable quantit; of goods were saved, and the stocks oi band were not very large. With a fei exceptions, all the commission dry good honses are burned to the ground, no even the walls of the buildings being lei standing. The destruction ofthejobbin houses lias been nearly complete, and th agent of the largest mills in the countr says that but one out of all his customei in the city has a place left for his busines: The fire did not reach that section of tb city occupied by the provision, produci and flour and grain trade, nor were tlier any losses to the fish or salt dealers, an but slight damage to the wholesale grc cers. None of the hotels have been di stroyed, and the railroads, with the e? ception of the Hartford and Erie, hay not suffered. The drift on insurance comnanies wil bo immense, and many of the smalle corporations must go down under th weight of their liabilities. Despite th terror that prevailed there were presen in the crowds many thieves, who bega their nefarious operations. Thefts wer numerous, and were committed with pei feet impunity for a time, as it was al solutoly impossible for the police to din tinguish owners from thieves, all bein loaded alike with portable property Now and then a well-known face woul< be recognized by the detectives, and tli tlref arrested. These were isolatci cases, however, and the valuo of th plunder secured by tbis depredator class must havo been numerous. It i understood lhat a thorough and stric search will hereafter be instituted, ii order that some portion of the plunde may be recovered. There were many touching and som ludicrous incidents connected with th fire. The ladies, in many cases, wer bewildered by the noise and bustl around them rather than by cowardl, fear, or even by natural timidity, an did some things that provoked a laug! in spite of the awful character of th situation. One went about with a pach age of lace in one Land aid a JLisle-threa stocking in the otber entreating th workers to kelp her save her property Another threw out large superb mirroi from the third story, and carefully lo^ ered a china jug by a rope. Some slm ered in sileice on the stone steps, liuf ging their babes to their breasts, au one answered a gentleman who wante to save her property: "Let it buri, si I've saved mj baby, anil my husband i all right in New York." POMOLOGICAL PHENOMENA. ? Appl( aro found which are sweet on one sul and acid on the other. Apples are als grown without seeds, though not ver frequently. Over and over agaiu thes statements have been questioned at hoi ticultural meetings as being impossibh But both facts were demonstrated at th American Institute lust season. Nearl a peck of apples of the first descriptio were sent from Georgia to convinc doubters of the possibility of such a anomaly. Next came a batch from som< where in the North, without seeds c even cores or seed cells. Now for an explanation of the phenc mcnon. One theory is that the develoj merit of the seeds was suspended at a early period of growth from an unknow cause, not unlike tho arrest of growt of a child, which constitutes a dwar In the next it has been supposed sa tubes, running side by side from th roots of the tree, pour their secretior on the two sides of the fruit, which pr< sent a sort of Siamese connection, a though they ore really two distinct apple ?a sweet and a sour one?in juxtapos tion.
