Tomato Catsup.?Wash and mash the tomatoes, boil them halt an hour and strain through a sifter. To overy gallon of the liquid, add one quart of strong vin? egar, two tablespoonsful of ground mus? tard, two of ground pepper, two of .salt, two of whole allspice, one of whole cloves,, two of onions cut very fine, and three pods- of green pepper cut fine. Pat on the fire, and boil till sufficiently thick, stirring often. To keep well, it must be cooked some time, and as it bo coraes too thick, add vinegar.?Southern Cultivator. "Rich Man's Pudding.?One pint of flour, halt cup of sugar, three tablespoon fulsof melted butter, half pint of sweet milk, one egg, one teaspoonful of soda, two of cream tartar ; stir well together. Place the abovo on a round tin and steam just one hour over a lively steam. Serve with the following jsauce : Haifa cup of "butter, half cup of sugar, halt cup of vin? egar, halt pint hot water; let it just come to a boil, remove from tho fire, and stir in a well-beaten egg immediately. The above quantity will mako a dessert suffi? cient for six persons. .? Farm-yard manure, when the farm? er is one of right stamp, is the most valu? able and lasting; it is a genuine article, andean be relied on wherever applied, Dor when, as stated, the right sort ot farm? er is in possession, the cattle live well and the premises are properly constructed and situated- Thus in the first place lib? eral feeding makes rich dung, and tho yard or other receptacle being free from water in sufficient quantity to wash or drain away any of tho moisture, the whole fertilizing matter is taken on the land, and that benefitted to the full ex? tent of the abstraction by the crops which have been consumed at tho homestead. ? A seed must be a perfect seed in or? der to grow a perfect plant. It must bo sound, ripe, and well preserved. This is a branch which is greatly neglected. A soil must be in a perfect condition to grow a. crop perfectly. Hero wo are, perhaps, more greatly at fault thau in tho other, caso of those seed. Both, however, must go together. We grow "fair" crops, "or? dinary" crops, even "good" crops, and think we have a good thing, so far as it goes; we even surmise we have a perfect thing, not in amount, but quality. Per? fect farming requires perfect work throughout. ? There are strange plants which are actually leafless, making up for this want by using the leaves of others. Such plants are called parasites, because they feed on the nutritive juices of others. Thrusting their roots into the living tissues of other plants, instead of into the earth, they ap? propriate the prepared food of these plants and at once apply it for their own pur? poses, for the production of stem, flower or fruit. ? Where a large number of hogs are kept, the bost place lor them is a good clo? ver pasture. If not put in until the clo > ver makes some growth, and then not to feed it down close, they will do well. In small enclosures, with plentj-of good wa? ter, hogs may be kept cheaper on clover than in any other way. ? The fact that fowls will eagerly de? vour gravel and small pieces of shells ana boues, is known to every one. There can be no doubt also that it is one in obedi? ence to some demand of nature, and that it is essential to the health and product? iveness and perhaps to the life of the fowl. Want of Decision.?A great deal of labor is lost in the world for the want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men, who have only re? mained in obscurity because their timidi? ty has prevented them from making a first effort, and who, if they had only been induced to begin, would in all probability, have gone great lengths in tho career of fame. Tho fact is, that in doing anything ixi. the world worth doing wo must not stand on the banks shivering, thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as wc can. It will not du to be perpetually calculating risks and adjusting Dice changes. It did all very well before the flood, when a man would consult his friends upon an intend? ed publication for one hundred atid<?fty years, and live to see its success for six or seven centuries afterwards; but at pres? ent, man waits and doubts, and consults his brothers and uncles and particular friends, until one day he finds he is six? ty-five years of age, and that ho has no moro time to follow their advice. There is so littlo time for ovcrsqueamishing at present, that the opportunity' slips away. The very poriod of life at which a man chooses to venture, if ever, is so confined that it is no bad rule to preach up the ne? cessity, in such instances, of a little vio-J lence done to t.:o feelings, and efforts m^de in defiance of strict and sober cal? culations.? Sidney fim ith. ? There are somo hearts that arc al? ways shut up, locked and bolted all the time, like houses in tho night. A'othing can enter at the front door, it is barred. Nothing can break in at the front win? dows; tho blinds are closed, the sashes latched, the ?butters within closely fast? ened. Nothing on the roof; tho skylight is padlockod oti tho inside. But passing by all ordinary approaches, tbcro may perchanco be found in somo out of* the way corner, an unfastened side light, which will admit the hand to turn tho key. ' -? ? "Miss, can I have tho exquisite pleasure of rolling the wheel of conversa? tion around tho axlctreo of your undei strndirig a few minutes Ibid evening?" "i'ue lady fainted. The Ages of Animals and Men. When the world was created, and all creatures assembled to have theirlifetimo appointed, the ass advanced first, and asked how long he would have to live. "Thirty years," replied Nature ; "'will that be agreeable to thee ?" "Alas !" said the ass, "it is a long time. Remember Avhat a wearisome existence mine will be; from morning until night I shall have to bear heavy burdens, drag? ging corn sacks to the mill, that others may eat bread while I shall have no en? couragement, nor be refreshed with any? thing but blows and kicks. Give me but a portion of that time, I pray thee." Nature was moved with compassion and presented liitn with but eighteen years. The ass went away comforted, and the dog came forward. "How long dost thon require to live ?" asked Nature; "thirt}* years were too many for the ass, but will you be content with them ?" "Is it thy will that 7. should ?" replied the dog. "Think how much I shall have to run about; my feet will not last so long a time; and I shall have lost my voice for barking, and my teeth for biting, what else shall 1 be fit for but to lie in a corner and growl ?" Nature thought he was right, and gave him twelve years. The ape then ap? proached. "Thou wilt,- doubtless, willingly live the thirty years?" said Nature. " Thou wilt not have to labor as the ass and the dog. Lifo will be pleasant to thee." "Oh, no," cried he; "so it may seem to others, but it will not be. Should pud? dings ever rain down, I should have no spoon! I shall play merry tricks and excite laughter by my grimaces, and then be rewarded with a sour apple. How often sorrow lies concealed behind a jest. I shall not be able to enduro for thjrtj' years." Nature was gracious and he received but ten. At last came man, healthy and strong, and asked the number of bis daj-s. "Will thirty years content thee V "How short a time," exclaimed man. "When I shall have built my house and kindled a fire on my own hearth?when tlio trees I shall have planted are about to bloom and bear fruit?when life with me will seem most desirable, I shall die! 0, Nature, grant me a longer period !" "Thou Shalt have the eighteen years of the ass besides." "That is not enough yet," replied man. "Take, likewiso, the twelve years of tho dog." '?It is not yet sufficient," reiterated man; "give me more." '%I will give thee, then, the ten years of the ape ; in vain wilt thou crave more." Man departed unsatisfied. Thus man lives seventy j-cars. The first thirty are his human j-ears, and pass swiftly by. He is then healthy and hap pj*; ho labors cheerfully and rejoices in his existence. The eighteen years of the a6s comes next, and burden upon burden is heaped upon him; he carries the corn that is to feed others; blows and kicks aro tho wages of his faithful service. The twelve years of the dog follow, and he loses his teeth and growls. When theso are gone, the ape's ten years form the conclusion. Then man, weak and silly, becomes the sport of childhood.?Trans lated from the German. -?> A "Gentleman of Leisure."?There aro very low grown men, or even "stout boys," in this country who have any prido in being out of business. Occa? sionally one is found, however, and when found he is worth making a note of. We ran across a genuine specimen tho other da}'?or, rather, ho ran against us?emphatically against us; against our feelings, against our judgment, against our sympathy, but not against our pity. We did pity him, and that was the ex? tent of our recognition. IIo was dressed faultlesslj-?that is, if the extreme of latter-day fashion can be called faultless. He had beautiful whito hands and teeth, his hair was parted in the middle, his downy moustache adroitly colored and curled, a gold-mounted eyeglass dangled from a buttonhole of his vest, and a "nobby" little walking-stick was twisted in his bejeweled lady fingers. He was proud to say that ho was a "gentleman of leisure." We inferred as much before he said it. What else could have been interred? What earthly uso could the mortal thing be put to? Physical force ho had not; his mind was as vacant as an exhausted receiver; and he seemed to have no excuse for living except to ad? vertise some tailoring establishment. It is something to the credit of this republi? can country that such specimens of the genus homo arc rare. Wo can only wish they were so rare that Barnum would bo induced to cage them with his monkej's ; though the monkeys would bo apt to pro test against tho companionship.?Pack anPs Monthly. ? It is difficult to conceive anything more beautiful than the reply given by a lacy in aflliclion, when she was asked how she bore it so well: "It lightens the stroke," said she, "to draw nearer to Him who handles the rod." ? Josh Billings divides the human raco into three classes; -'Those who think it is so, these who think it isn't so, and those who don't care whether it is so or not." ? Josh Billings defines a "thiirrcr bred bizincss man" as "wun that knows enuff about stcclin'so't there kant enny body steil from him. and enuff about law so that ho kin do his stcclin' legally." ? A countryman sends tho following to the Cincinnti Enquires: "A Radical is compound, unconstitutional noun; black in person, African in gender, desperate in case; and is governed by negroes under ! partizan rule, as one ignoratnous governs another." ? The Supremo Court of New York has decided that if a passenger on a rail? way train cannot find a seat and gets in? jured while standing, in consequence, up J on the platform, ho is not to bo blamed for negligence; but that tho negligonco , must be imputed to tho conductor. It is ! tho latter's business to find a seat iov the ! passenger, not the passenger's business to look for one. This is a righteous decision. ? A Southern paper is oppobed to tho j education of woman as surgeons. It says ; that, suppose one wcro put under tho in? fluence of chloroform by such a doctor, j "What is to prevent tho woman from kissing you \" ' Curious, Useful and Suggestive. ?Broad was first made with yeast in 1750. Coffee was taken to England first in 1641. Genius is a-century-plant, and cannot bloom in every garden. Lotteries originated in Florence in 1530, and were legalizod in France in 1539. The first lottery for sums of money took place in 1G30. Adam Smith says that in his day there was a village in Scotland where it was not uncommon for women to carry nails instead of money to the baker's shop and ale-house. '?What do you think of my sermon on the existence of God ?" said the Bishop of Oxford to a friend. "Very good, Bishop, but still I think there is a God notwithstanding your arguments !" The secret of traveling with case is to know where to go, and how to get there?making all necessary preparations and never to worry. It is care which kills us?wears us out before our timo, A man, less heavy than the horse, has a greater relative muscular power. The dog, less heavy than man, drags a com? paratively heavier burden. Insects, as their weight grows less and less, are able to drag more and more. It would ap? pear, therefore, that the muscular force of living croaturcs is in inverse propor? tion to their mass. When tho face of England was very different from what it is to-day, and when gigantic hyenas and bears were skulking in the caves, and primeval tigers were prowling in the jungles, and wool-clad elephants were munching the trees, man was there, a companion of these dead races, low-browed and savage, skilled only to pound from the stone his crude knife and arm his hand with flint against talon in struggle with tho beast. The saw was considered of so much importance that its inventor wr.s honored with a place among the gods in the my? thology of the Greeks. This invention is said to havo been suggested by the ar? rangement of the teeth in the jaw of a serpent used by Tolas, tho nephew of Davedoius, in dividing a piece of wood. From the representation of ancient tools found in tho paintings at Ilerculaneum, it appears that the frame saw used by the ancients very nearly resembled that still in use. It is also represented on the obelisks of Egypt. The first locomotive used upon a rail? road in the United States was imported from England in tho year 1S29. It was built by Foster, Kastrick & Co., of Stour bridgo, and was run upon the railroad of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Compa? ny, from the mines of Honesdale, Pa., to the canal landing, in the Summer of 1829. There were several railroads in the coun? try in operation with the use of locomo? tives before the Philadelphia and Ger? man town liailroad was built. Upon the latter the cars were for somo time drawn by horses after it was opened. Useful Information.?The Peters? burg (Va.) Index has learned, in a conver? sation with an old gentleman of that city, that for several years past ho had kopt his house free from cockroaches and other vermin, by the use of Epsom Salts. Scat? tered freely near tho holes through which they enter, these ugly visitants will seek other homes, and assures us also that a .-trong solution of Salts, applied exter? nally to horses, will save them from an? noyance by flies; and that where mirrors, picture frames, &c. have been rubbed with the solution, the flies will refuse to light. As a preventive against Led bugs or fleas, tho samo remedy will be found of great service ; but a moro effectual one is tho recently discovered carbolic acid or carbolic soap. Animals washed with this solution will be forever free from iusects. Perpetual freedom fron rata and mice may also be obtained by tho use of this carbolic acid or soap; but as this is not al? ways at hand, our old friend assures us that kerosene oil poured into rat-holes,or rags saturated with kerosene, will banish rats and mice effectually. He has used theso antidotes for years, and is fully convinced of* thoir value. They are, at least, simple and cheap, and may be tried. Pity the Sorrows of a Poor old Man ! ?We are almost inclined, says the Ches? terfield Democrat, to feel very sorry for ono Hoheit K. Scott, a native of Penn? sylvania, adopted by Ohio and captured in South Carolina, who was against his own will made Governor of the Stato. and that too merely because he was "pre? ferred to other Carpet-baggers"?only that there is more reason to pity the aforesaid "other carpet-baggers." "Many of the native citizens" havo very dark complexions, but they ought not to have been guilty of so dark a deed as to take in a verdant son of Ohio in this way; placo him "in an unenviable light," and make him appear "very much liko a scoundrel in fact," as ho complains they have done. Truly tho "loil" have much to answer for, to this persecuted manT ? The ?y has its uses. He serves to keep bald-headed sinners awake at church on a warm day, so that their unrcgeno rate hearts may bo touched by the preach? ed word. It also encourages the spirit of invention, inducing the inventive to tax their brains in contriving fly-traps. ? During a cross-examination, a wit? ness was asked where his father was. To which question, with a melancholy air, ho responded : "Dead, sir?dropped oft'very suddenly." "How came he to drop off suddenly?" was tho next question. "Foul play, sir?the sheriff imposed on his un? suspicious nature, and getting him to go on a platform to look at a select audienco, suddenly ho knocked a small trap door out from under him, and in falling ho got entangled in a rope, from the effects of which ho expired." ? The followLng'is tho 'nub'of a yarn that is told about a big whiskey-guzzling fellow who came homo drunk ono night and sat down by tho fire to warm his feet, which were regular 'worm-killers,' says the legend : After dozing somo timo he awoke chilly; tho embers were ontircly hid from view, and seeing his foet, he mistook them for his little boy, when with a majestic wavo of his hand, ho said: 'Stand aside, my little son, and let your poor father warm himself.' t Sharpe & Fant's Column.
