Ihe Sorrows of Cooks Now-a-Days In the Sonny South. BY ONE OF 'EM. It has always been greatly the fashion to pity the sorrows of poor "seamstresses, working in miserable attics, 88 represent? ed in that doleful "Song of the Shirt;" or of underpaid governesses; and many tears have been shed by gentle eyes over the fictitious sorrows of fictitious Uncle Toms, etc., but you never see any men? tion of the sorrows of cooks. I suppose people think their sympathy would be wasted, but I don't think so. Cooks have never had full justice done to them, and it is time that, amid the numerous appeals of the day, their claims for sym? pathy should be appreciated too. The truth is, that it is a most unsenti? mental occupation. Don't I know, for am not I a cook myself? Haven't I tried to repeat Tennyson's Break, break on' thy cold gray crags, 0, Sea! while making the biscuits for breakfast? It wouldn't do; they don't harmonize. I had to give it up. There's nothing like being in misery yourself to make you feel for others, 0, my sisters, Biddy in the North, Hannah in the West, and Dinah in the South, I "stretch out my hands to you, and hold hands with you all, figuratively. I for? give you-all the burnt Discuits, "kitchen coffee," and raw meat with a touch of smoke on it, that you have ever made me eat. I am a cook myself! To this have the destinies of war reduced me! I happen to hold the honorable posi? tion of cook at present to a highly hon? orable, but extremely poverty-stricken .family. O, that I could induce some one else to take the position, but I can't! 11 have been shedding tears, grimy tears of ] soot and sorrow combined, since seven o'clock yesterday morning, that being the hour at which I was "inducted" into the mysteries of kitchen life. The bread won't brown, and the water won't boil, and the fire won't burn, and altogether I feel as if I should like to say "confound i?' a good many times, only Mamma's hair would stand on one end under her cap if I did, so I content my? self with weeping "tears, idle tears!" Now, Tom, out in the yard cutting up wood, has a great advantage over me. He says "dog gone it" every time he rives a cut, and I really think it relieves tim, for he isn't near so cross as when he frst commenced. I went out some little time ago to bring in some wood for the stove. He looked as if he had been tak? ing a shower-bath, perspiration rolling down from his face. His heart seemed too full for utterance, he simply remarked tnat he wished we'd never seceded. It was a simple remark, but it awoke a tor? rent of feeling in my heart. I grasped his hand and said, "0, my brother I" How true it is that we never thorough? ly prize what we have until we lose it! It is certainly true in regard to our cook Jane. So long as we had her, I was ac? customed to regard her as a very black, good humored, indifferent sort of cook, rather lazy ana fond of talking. Now I look on her as an individual whom I did not half esteem; her very faults have turned to virtues in my eyes. When shall I look on her like again ? Tom announced to me to-day that we should soon have &. cook, as he had pos? ted himself at the corner of the street and engaged each colored lady that came along, up to the number of six. They all unhesitatingly promised to come, but so far not one has made her appearance; but I don't bear them any malice on that account, oh, no! The African hath a fentle heart, and hateth to pain people. : was to avoid seeing the anguish depic? ted on Tom's countenance if they had refused; not that they ever had the slightest intention of coming. Well, if there is anything that could console me, it ought to be Jane's parting words. When she mentioned that she was going to "quit," I was overcome with sorrow, and ventured to ask why she was going to do so; if I had not given her satisfaction. I had endeavored to do so. But Jane answered quite affa? bly, "N07 honey, 'taint that, I'm werry well satisfied wid you an' the rest, but my health aint what it used to be, and I mus' have change of air, or the dispep sy will carry me off; an' I aint able to cook this hot weather." As soon as I heard that it was the "dispepsy," I gave up. I fear that disease will soon carry off the enfeebled remnant of the African ladies in South Carolina. None of them are able to use either molasses or brown sugar for fear of it, although we, robuster mortals that we are, do. I would far rather go out in the rain than ask any of them to do so, for it would not hurt me, but it might put them in their graves. But 10 return to Jane. As soon as "dispepsy" came on the scene, I sidd no more, but entreated her acceptance of a polonaise, and requested her to send one of her friends to fill the vacancy, which she graciously promised to do. "For," said she, "i" like you all werry well. Mas' Tom does prowoke me wid his teasin' about my grandfarder bein' a monkey runnin' up and down the trees in Afriky, but I tries to put up wid him, an' I has *always given you all a good charikter!" Shades of my ancestors, have we de? scended to this! 0, my great-great great-great-grand-father, you'd better come down out of that picture, and throw away your helmet, ana your shield, and your coat of arms, and your diamond ring, and grovel in dust and ashes! Our cook has given us a good character! 1 Well, Jane> has gone, and I am "weep? ing and alone" in the kitchen, the ther? mometer only 96 in the shade, and stove "contrairy" and smoking like a steam? boat. I used to- pride myself on my hands, but, alas! there are three burns on one hand and five on the other, and "pot-black" is ingrained on my fore? finger. ?s to that stuff about a lady being a lady under all circumstances, it is simply nonsense. Why, when p walk round the house in my cooking-costume, our old dog Dash takes me for a beggar and barks at me. I gaze at him reproach? fully and sav "Et tu Brute L" . . And now *l am going to strike a chord in the hearts of many a "cook" all over the country, who reads this piece. After all the morning trotting about on your little ( or big) feet, from kitchen to store? room, from store-room to dining-room, and from dining-room to kitchen, when dinner time comes, you wash your poor red face and hands, and appear at the dinner-table with the rest of the family, when Tom, Dick or Harry, as the case may be, comes in, and you, really feeling that your arduous labors ought to receive some recognition, sinks into a chair, ex? claiming, "Oh, I am so tired!" Much sympathy you get! "Why, what are you so tired about? I never saw such a fuss as you women make about a litile bit of cooking. Just put me into the kitchen, and I bet I can do it all in five minutes!" Aint that cooling salve for a heated spir? it? But Master Tom, Dick or Harry takes care never to be put into the kitch? en, unless batter-cakes are baking at breakfast time. I think each day I live, I get some new insight into the meanness of the human mind. This morning I discovered a .new one in Tom's heart. He came to the kitchen and very kindly offered to bake the griddles for me, while I went to breakfast. I accepted quite cheerfully, thinking what a dear good fellow this was, and how much use he might be to me in the cooking depart? ment. So I took my seat at the table, trifled a little with the corn bread, and waited for the griddles. None appeared, however, so I trifled a little more with the corn-bread and waited again. The rt?t of the family, who had also been trifling with the corn-bread, began to look anxiously towards the door, and to express some surprise at the tardiness of the batter-cakes. At last, after having quite taken away my appetite with corn oread, I could stand it no longer, and went to see what was the matter: I "crept up quite unbeknown, And pooped In through tbo window, And tbar sot Thomas all alone, '1th no one nigh to binder." His face was red and greasy, and he had in his plate a pile of batter-cakes sufficient to nave supplied the members of the family who were still seated in stite at the breakfast-table, waiting lor batter-cakes to come in. When I ap? peared at the kitchen door with wrath depicted on my countenance, ho did not wait to make any apologies but retreated ht-stily through the window, not however until I had flung the first thing at him that I could pick up. It happened to be a coffee pot, and I am happy to say, it made a sweet dint in his lovely nose for b-m. Hereafter, this shall be my maxim, "Trust no one any further than you can sea him I" ^ Well, this is enough of my grievances for this time; besides, various members of the family are coming in and saying. "What I not commenced dinner yet! ana I am so hungry! I don't believe in these author-cooks anyhow! Do put down all that stuff and nonsense, and go and get dinner!" So if I don't want the house down about my ears, presently, I think I had better put off the rest for another time.?Rural Carolinian. A Wife's Powek.?A good wife is to man wisdom, strength and: courage; ft bad one is confusion, weakness and de? spair. No condition is hopeless to a man where the man possesses firmness, decis? ion and economy. There is no outward propriety which can counteract indolence, extravagance and folly at home. No spirit can endure bad influence. Man is strong ; but his heart is adamant. He needs a tranquil mind; and especially if | he is an intelligent man, with a whole bead, he needs its moral&rce in the con? flict of life. To recover his composure, borne must be a place of peace and com? fort. There his soul renews it strength and goes forth with renewed vigor to en? counter the labor and troubles of life. But if at home he finds no rest and is there met with bad temper, jealousy and gloom, or assailed with complaints and censure, hope vanishes, and he sinks into despair. A Western Custom.?Dan Davis of I Virginia City, paid a visit to Promontory, on tht Central ^Pacific Bailroad, and was charmed with the manners and customs, almost patriarchal in their frank simplic? ity, of the people. He stopped at the principal hotel of the town. It was a nice place, and the landlord was a very agreeable and friendly sort of a man. S?ys Dan: 'When dinner was ready the landlord came out into the street in front of his hotel with a double-barreled shot BaisiDg the gun above his head he Bred off one barrel. "I said to him, 'What did you do that fo ?" Said he, 'to call my boarders to din? ner.'" 'I said, 'Why don't you fire off both barrels?'" "'Oh,' said he, 'I keep the other to collect with.'" Bone Felon.?The London Lancet ?very high authority?gives the follow? ing remedy for the cure of this very painful malady: As soon as the pulsation which indi? cates the disease is felt, put directly over the spot a fly blister about the size of your thumb nail, and let it remain for six hours, at the expiration of which time directly under the surface of the blister may be suen the felon, which can be easily taken out with the point of a needle or lancet.

A Detroit boy surprised his father the other day by asking: "Father, do you like mother?" "Why, yes, of course." "And does she like you?" "Of course she does." "Did she ever say so?"

The boy looked the old man all over, and after a long pause, asked: "Well, was she as near-sighted then as she is now ?" ? A youthful clergyman, who recent? ly went forth to enlighten the ignorant, while dealing with the parable of the ? Prodigal Son, was anxious to show how I dearly the parent loved his child.

The climax was as follows: "I shouldn't wonder if the father had kept that calf for years, await? ing the return of his son." ? Gen. Beauregard, in a letter to the New Orleans Picayune, relates how the name "Stonewall" came to be applied to Gen. T. J. Jackson : "During the battle of Manassas, about 11 o'clock a. m., when that gallant and meritorious officer, .Brig.-Gen. Barnard E. Bee, was en? deavoring to rally his troops in the small valley in rear of the Kobinson house, he noticed Jackson's brigade, which had just arrived and taken position a little in rear of him, in a copse of small pines bordering the edge of that plateau where was about to be tought the first great bat? tle of the war. Bee, finding that his ap? peal was unheeded by his brave but dis? organized troops, then said to them, "Rally, men, rally! See Jacksou's brig? ade standing there like a stone wall." Those words gave the appellation to that brigade, and thence to its heroic com? mander." QUICK SALES AND SMALL PROFITS.
