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.

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."
