THE OLD ACCOUNT BOOK.
UY M US. M. W. STUATTOJt.
I Into did hold an account book old,
And I scanned each crowded page,
And could have wept o'er the record kept
Of the follies of youth and age.
The iteiNS there too well laid bate
What else were never told;
The reason why so tunny die
Not leaving lauds or gold.
And with each name to mcm'ry came
tSomc face long passed away,
That well 1 knew, and valued too,
In childhood's trusting day ;
lint as I look in that old book.
Now thoughts chase old ones on ;
Those pages tell it had been well
If sonic had sooner gouc.
Of tnnnv a face with sorrow's trace,
Of many a troubled brow,
And of hidden care, where all looked fair,
I can road the story now :
Why many a wife, whose path of life
Seemed 'neath a cloudless sky,
E'en when she smiled upon her child,
Seemed choking down a sigh.
ilow laughing men could clustcr'thcu
Within a brilliant loom,
And I'ght and gay and luippy tlicy,
When all at home was gloom :
And thcro I see the wine Howcd frco
For thoso who could not pay
An honest debt, though they could yet
Throw twice as much away.
No wonder, now, a lover's vow
Was late or never kept;
'Tis written here how he did fear
A fiend who never slept ;
Ilow habit's chain he tried in vnin
To hrcuk or throw aside,
And then at last must from him cast
A love worth all beside.
These pages tell why many fell
. .. I 1
I'full siii'iunn |iruii<> miu .i.ji,..,
Nor left a name a son coul<l claim
Wit It an uplifted eye ;
How men could be so fair to see,
Tlu-ir good heart's running o'er,
Till some quick crash, some lightning Hash,
.Showed ashes at the core.
Oh, tunny a word in chidhood's lionr
A meaning finds at last ;
The records here too well can clear
Some mysteries of the past!
Away old hook ! I will not look
I'pon thy pages more ;
They will not leave the tight to grieve
For one lost fricud of yore,
Now ye who read I pray 3*011 heed
The truthful words 1 sa3* ?
The kind of men who flourished then
Are plenty here to-day.
Your son may look in some old book
And see the season why
lie need not weep that now 3*011 sleep,
lint did not sooner die.

HECIPES.
Caiunkt Pcihhxu.?An excellent, pudding
qui tens good doubtless as the fari'aincd
Knglish plum pudding. One cupful
each of suet, molasses, and sweet uiilk, j
three cups of flour, one teaspoouful of I
soda; grease the pudding mould and boil
fully three hours. I use a small tin
bucket with a close fitting lid; when
read}* to serve, if the bucket is iuvcrtcd,
the pudding will easily slip out. fc'auce to
be eaten with it can be made by mixing
together half a cup of butter, one cup of
sugar, and one large teaspoouful flour; when
thoroughly mixed add one quart of boiling
water ; allow it to coutc to a boil and simmer
awhile ; then a?tu ilavoriug.
Snow Cakk.?Well beaten whites of
eight eggs, two tumblers of powdered sugar,
one and a half tumblers of flour, two-thirds
of a teaspoonfuI cream tartar, flavoring,
bake in long pan and ice. This is a beautiful
white cake ami easily made, the oven
should be brisk, but not too hot.
Tcr.\?.?Heat the whites of four eggs to
a stiff froth ; then add to them half a pound
of ground or powdered white sugar; beat
well until it will stand li/ve foam; Flavor
with vanilla, lemon or rose. This frost the
tops of two ordinary sized cakes. Heap as
much as you deeui sufficient in the centre
of the cake, then dip a broad bladed knife
into cold water, and spread the icing over
the whole surface.
Hick Oakks.?Take one cup of cold
boiled rice ; one pint of flour ; one tcaspoonl'ul
of salt; two cu'gs beaten light, and milk
enough to make a tolerably thick hatter ;
beat all together and hake on a hot griddle.
Si ttAtt Candy.?Foil six cups of sugar,
one cup of vinegar and one cup of
water together without stirring ; boil one
hour, or until it crisps in cold water; add a
few minutes before taking Iroin the lire, a
tablespoon fu! of butter and one teaspoonful
saleratus dissolved in a little hot water.
After cooling on buttered platters, proceed
to pull white, same as in molasses taffy.
Wimtk Mai ntain Cakk.?1 pound of
flour, one of sugar, six eggs, half a pound
of butter, otic teaspoonful of soda, two of
cream of tartar, and one cup of milk.
Indian Cakk.?Two cups of Indian

v-nnonfills of ereain of tartar, one ol soda, and
one taLlcspoouful of butter.
Tfi 11f>a7k a lk?llf.i> IIam.? First brush
a cold boiled bain, previously relieved of its
skin, all over with beaten egg. Next spread
over this evenly, to the depth of a quarter
of an inch, a paste made as follows : To a
cup of powdered crackers, add rich uiilk in
sufficient quantity to make a thick paste :
salt and work in a teaspoonful of melted
butter. Having spread this evenly over the
ham as already directed, set to brown in a
moderately hot oven.
(flNOKKItllKI).?One cupful of molasses

with otic cupful of sour milk, in which y^u
have dissolved a toaspoonful of saleratus.?
Heat well the whole and hake in a moderate

will be a light aud agreeable cake
(j i no Kit Snaps.?One pint of molasses,
one cupful of suet chopped One, two tablesnooufuls
of ginger. Let it uielt on the fire.
When melted, tako it off to cool and then
add as much sifted flour as will make the
dough hard enough tc roll; cut with cake

Nbw Hlkial of Sir John Moouk.?
Not a drum was heard, because the druui
tner was not feeling very well ana usKOd to
bo excused, uor a funeral note of any kind,
as his corpse to the ramparts wo hurried ;
not a single, solitary son of a gun of a soldier
discharged his farewell shot o'er the
grave whore the remains of the late Mr.
Moore were deposited. The farewell shot
business was omitted on account of the great
scarcity of ammunition. We buried him
darkly at dead of night, and did the best
job we could for him under "the circumstances.
We could not borrow, beg or
steal a pick or shovel in the entire neighborhood,
and were obliged to turn the sods
with our bayonets, which, by the way, was
the first thing that had been turned by
said bayonets since wc bad been drafted.
We did this all by the struggling moonbeam's
misty ligbt, and the lantern dimly
burning, with just about half cuough oil in
it, and a strip of an old tlauucl undershirt
for a wick. Few and short were the prayers
we said, the Chaplain being houic on a
furlough, and uo one within forty miles to
take his place. We spoke not n word of
sorrow, our time being somewhat limited,
as the enemy was not far distant, and advancing
with giant strides. We thought,
as we hollowed his narrow bod and smoothed
down his lonely pillow with a canteen that
the foe and the stranger would tread o'er
his head and we far away on the billow ; but
not too far, however, as the enemy outnumbered
us about seven to one. Lightly j
they'll talk of the spirit that's ??mno, audi
wonder where they can got another flask I
tilled with the same, and o'er his cold ashes
upbraid him, knowing, of course, that he is j
hi no condition to defend himself ; but little |
he'll reek if they let him sleep on in a grave j
where a Briton has laid him, and not bother |
him to get up and take out a burial permit !
or ask him to pay ground rent. We wish
here tojcorrect the impression that slowlyaud
sadly we laid hint down front the field of j
his funic fresh aud gory. We did no such i
thing. The corj so was washed and put in
good shape, and wo defy any man to show j
that there was a drop of gore about him.?
It is true that we carved not a line and we j
raised not a stone, because there was no
stonemason handy who would do the job 1
at reasonable figures. About this time we
heard by the distant and random gun that
the foe was sullenly firing, so we adjourned
the funeral, and left the deceased a! me in
his glory, and made ourselves scarce in that
vicinity.? Ciucimutli JJinjuinr.

j Miss Minnie Bombard, nineteen years old,
, residing at 710 Jefferson street, in this city,
j who has been blind for two years, has rei
covered her sight in a most remarkable
j manner. She was alHictcd with typhoid
j fever, which weakened the optic nerves to
such an extent that, with the recoverv
from the fever she gradually lost her sight
and became totally blind. She was given
the best medical attention, but without
avail. The physicians could only give her
a slight hope that she might some day regain
her sight, hut were powerless to render
any aid. She is a member of St. Paul's
Methodist Kpiscopnl Church,and the church j
has made her cause a special subject of i
prayer. Oh Tuesday night last, previous |
to retiring, Miss Lombard had been reading ;
of Christ's restoring sight to the blind, and :
the promise, Whatsoever ye shall ask in my |
name, believing, ye shall receive," and with
a full reliance in His power and wisdom,
she prayed earnestly that, if it were His
will, her own eyes might be reopened.?
She awoke with a headache. Her mother
bathed her head and she fell asleep again.
When she awoke her sight was perfectly
restored. .*Mie is a consistent Christian,
and naturally attributes her sudden recovery
to a special interposition of Divine
Providence.
Who and What tiik Afghans auk.
?The Afghans are tall, of large and well
knit frames, muscular and hardy. Their
strong, heavy features and dark skins give
them a fierce expression of countenance;
their black eyes?- their lids tinned with
antimony to add force, beauty and da/./liiig
brilliancy to them"?are full of lire, so that
their swift, hold and flaming glance is very
impressive. They wear their hair shaved
from the forehead to the top of the head,
the rest falling in black thick masses to the
shoulders. The dress of the people is ol
cotton, or of cloth called barck, made of
camel's hair, and is worn iti two long and
very full robes, the material used by the
wealthy classes being of silk or cashmere;
blue or white turbans and slippers complete
the costume. The beauty of young Afghans
is frequently spoken of by Kastern w riters,
but it would seem from the very nature
of things as though this glowing description
^nust be overdrawn ; just as the
handsome, pensive young I neas of our
wa ll beloved West Indian romancer, .lames
I'otiiinore Cooper, can hardly be recognized
in the modem Modoc. Still, abundant testimony
claims a dark and hardy bjatity Ibr

DIPHTHERIA.
A SIMPLE REMEDY THAT IS ALWAYS
AYAI LA ISLE.
Johu S. Wiles, a surgeon of Thorncotnbe,
Dorset, writes to the Lou Jon Timet:?
"After two out of nine or teu eases of malignant
diphtheria had proved fatal, 1 saw an
extract from an American paper concerning
a practitioner who used sulphur to cure
thu Lsease. I used milk of sulphur for infant8
and flour of sulphur for older children
and adults, brought to a creamy cousistcuce
with glyccriuo; doso, ateaspoouful or more,
according to age, three or four times a day,
slowly swallowed, and also applied to the
uoitrila with a sponge ; and did not lose a
case there or elsewhere, and saved lives
when the disease had almost blocked the
throat. That sulphur will do all that is
here claimed for it 1 know ; and I wish
every one who has, or may have, a case of
this disease, to use it and be convinced.?
Every one, living in Plymouth, years ago,
whou tliisuisDa.su broke out in the family
of,Mr. John Allen with such fatal results,
need not be told of the panic that seized
alike physician and people. It was the
same at Dearborn, and iu every couiuiuuity
whieh it entered. The l'hysicians know
nothing of it, aud every two out ol three
cases pftTved fatal. 1 kept froui uiy childrcn(who
were small) all knowledge of the
diseaso ami pauie, that imagination should
not create the symptoms, and so doctored
the first, knowing them real. We had four
genuine casse of diphtheria that winter, not
knowing them to be such till, years after,
when L had plenty of chances to learn all
the details of this disease. My mother had
always cured sore throats with dry sulphur ;
I had done the same in my family, aud now
it was uiy first resort. Two of the cases
yielded readily and were well in two or three
days ; two lasted, one 111, the other 12 days ;
with that low, iutcusc lever so dreaded in
this disease; since then, 1. have treated
many cases of it, knowing what it was, and
always with the same result?a speedy
cure. If the spores and adjoining parts of
the throat were covered three or four times
a-day with sulphur that when the sulphur
did not reach thorn, they were not destroyed
A teaspoon handle is best for applying it.
11' mixing with glycerine, water or molasses
does not destroy its efficacy, it would be
an easier method of application. 1 believe
it to be just as good fur the scarlet fever
sore throat?hut have had less experience
with it for that. Iu eases of any kind of
sore throat, a wet napkin, or a piece of dry
flannel or cotton batting should be worn
around the neck, according to the condition
of the throat. 1 have been thus explicit
lo calise the prevalence of those diseases
is carrying agony to many hearts aud
hearths, and 1 hope all who see this sulphur
cure will try it, whether mother or physician,
no matter to what school they belong.
I have several tunes published this remedy,
but it has been little more than a year since
i' has found its way tithe press through
physicians. 31 us. E. 1'. E. 1 Jit A UN Kit.
For.nd at Jjast.?As a Mississippi
liver steamboat came to a liver luudiing,
a tall, ungainly, gawkish looking fellow
leaning agaimt a woudpile attracted the attention
of the passengers, one of whom, a
talkative and conspicuous person, remarked
to his friends that he w is going to have
j some fun out of that fellow. So he jumped
: ashore when the ho.it landed, and with a
1 great show of fierceness approached the
[fellow. Drawing a savage-looking bowie
! knife he said :
' So, old fellow. I've found "you at last.
You're the man that sto'o a dog of mine
and J'vo sworn to get square with you.?
I've been looking for you for a year."
The gawky lazily opened his eyes in
wondering amazement at first as th ?ugli he
didn't understand it. Then catching sight
of the laughing passengers looking on from
the deck he took in the situation. J>y the
time "Smarty" hail finished telling him how
long he had been looking for him, lie bad
taken out of his pocket a fist like a sledge
hammer cu the end of the arm of a wiuduiill.
lie swung it once and knocked the man
who had been looking for him plump into
the river. Then resuming his place against
the woodpile he raised his eyes to the deck
and with a very lazy drawl inquired :
' Is thero anybody else on that boat looking
lbr me ?"

I a sad hiking tramp, with a pained oxprcs
mum ut i.ieo, iu;a entered a .-Mittcr street
bur-room the other day, holding in his
hand a Miiall, battered red canister. "Look
at tliis." he said, sorrowfully,' I went into
a gun>hop and begged fur Something to eat,
and the mean mail handed me this can of
powder. He said I could go shooting?a

' Well, mizzle!" retorted the bar-keeper,

row of customers.
"I pledge you my word," said tlie vagrant.
holding the can within an inch of
the open stove, "l in so miserable I've almost
a mind to blow myself up."
' J)ar? you to do it," said one of the bystanders,
winking at the crowd.
The wrecked party gave a sad, lingering
look at the poured out Ihpinr, as that he
might ne'er behold again, und tossed in the
can.

they started for the other side of the street

Probably the most remarkable sense of
humor ever known was that of a German
soldier who laughed uproariously all the
time he was being Hogged, and when the
officer, at the cud, inquired the cause of his
mirth, broke out into a fresh fit of laughter
and cried, 'Why, I'm the wrong man !'

A subscriber in the country "takes his
pen in hand to let us know" that the other
evening he passed a young couple in a
sleigh, the young tnan sitting on the girl's
