FtK*, avr>E\' \xr> ir)u?F.f!ori?> I'.-eparlns a I.'Inner. We gi\o a recipe from that good homely housewife, Mrs. " Tabitha Tickletootb,*' whose book is now out of piint: Put hall a pound of shin of beef into a stew-pan with half a pint of cold water, and any cold gravy that may be left irom the first cooking ; simmer gently j two hours, then lightly brown in the j irjing-piiu U UlOUnittlo wsru 1/UWU| ?? I small carrot, and half a turnip cut in thia slices. "While the beef is stewing, I cut the mutton from the bone in neat slices, about four inches square and a quarter of au inch thick (taking care to trim off the gristle, burned skin and sinews) ; if it be underdone, so much the better, as it will have more natural juice; should, however, the joint have been iioiled, you must lightly fry the slices with a little butter. About an hour before you nant to serve your dinner strain the gravy from the beef and vegetables, and put iu the stew-pan, to which add the slices of mutton. Here, let me say, is a correction of one of the greatest errors in hashing?the usual method is to put the mutton into the pan about five minutes before dishing! thereby just giving it time to warm ; the consequence is, by Wing merely scalded with the poor broth which has been obtained by stewing the bone with an onion and a large quantity of water, it is sodden, tough, and totally flavorless ! T)- mAaf. is PTftdnaJlv XJJ UJJ pou VUU iUW.? 0 ^ , saturated with the good and strong gravy formed by the fresh beef and vege- j tables, inbibing their flavor of course, aud rendered tender at the same time from the stewing. When just ready to serve, carefully ' skim oft' all the fat, mix a teaspoonful of flour with a tablespoonful of the gravj, which you must put aside and save for the purpose at the time you strain it from the beef, and add them to the hash ; put a teaspoonful of mushroom catsup into the dish, and sprinkle lightly the whole surface with cayenne pepper ; garnish with thin triangular sippets of toasted bread; aud there you have your hashed mutton, which I can confidently say, particularly if it be eated with currant jelly, is equal, if not superior, both in flavor aDd nourishment, to the general run of venison. We have tried this recipe and can vouch for its exoellenee. A small dish of this hashed mutton can be made even by a bachelor in a chafing dish?and * by-the-bye, if men knew "a little more about cooking practically, it would do them no harm. Household Hint*. Coffee and How to Make It.?In % France the common theory is that to make good coffee it is necessary to have a mixtnre of three kinds?from Mocha, from Bourbon, and from Martinique. * Al__ ^ ~ A/\ V\/% d 15ui, as me iuocau wuce x? uui uo uau in Frauce any more than with us, there is really only a mixture of two kinds? the Bourbon and the Martinique. We have to put up with what we can get, and then comes the question as to the best mode of preparing it. First of all it ha3 to be roasted. We have seen perfect coffee made by plaoing the powder j in a simple muslin bag fitted to the top of the coffeepot and by pouring on the proper quantity of boiling water. But never was there a coffee machine more simple and more certain than the ordinary French percolator, which is, in fact, two coffeepots in one?the upper one for infusion, the lower one for the ^ reception of the filtered liquid. Ho must be a great blunderer who cannot; get a good cup of coffee ont of such an j instrument. Two conditions are neces-! sary to make it good ; one is to use plenty of coffee, the other is to make the infusion rapid. It is necessary to boil the infusion for a moment. .While most people in this country thoroughly understand that they must not brew their j tea too long so as to make it bitter, they do not seem to know that neither must they try to take too much out of their ooffee, or it may tnrn to poison. Seasonable Advice on Colds.?By simply abstaining from drink and liquid food of any kind for as long a period as possible, the internal congestion?which is, in fact, the condition generally known as " a cold "?becomes reduced. The cause of congestion is the excess of blood contained in the over-charged membranes, and this is removed -when the general bulk of the blood has been diminished by withholding the usoal supply of drink for a day or two down to a point at which some degree of thirst is yet experienced, a complete cure may be effected. Frying Fish.?The fish is practically not fried, but it is boiled in lard. Put sufficient lard (or oil) in your frying pan that will cover the fish ; first boil it till browned sufficiently, then put your fish in ; it must be well dried. Egg and bread crumbs may be also sifted over first. Onion Peeling.?In peeling and slicing onions, it is said that if you hold lietween your teeth a pair of scissors, a steel knife, or almost any iron or steel substance, no tear3 need be shed during the operation. New Food for Horses and Sheep. A favorite and rather new kind of mash for horses is coming into use, composed of two quarts of oats, one of bran, and half a pint of flax seed. The oats are first placed in the stable bucket, over which is placed the linseed ; add boiling water, then the bran, covering the mixture with an old rcg and allowing it to thus rest for five hours ; then stir the mass up. The bran absorbs while retaining the vapor, and the linseed binds the oats and the bran together. A greater quantity of flax seed would make the preparation too oily and less relished. One feed per day is sufficient. It is easily digesti lo and is specially adapted to young animals, adding to I their volume rather thau to their height ?giving substance to tho frame. Prof. Sanson reminds us not to overlook the food in the nourishment question in connection with the amelioration of live stock. He considers oat4', as so generally given to sheer, as objectionable and approaching the unprofitable. Rams generally receive one pound of oats daily, ewes half that quantity. Oats, forming an exciting food, are especially suited for rams during the season when they serve ; but for hastening the development of young sheep they only buii^ up the bones, not the flesh. Caring Skies. A method of curiug skins without removing the hair 19 given by a correspondent in the Fanciers' Journal: Take soft water about ten gallons, oue-half bushel wheat bran, .seven pounds of salt, two and a half pounds of sulphuric aoid. Dissolve all together, and put the skins in the solution, and allow them to remain twelve liour3 ; take them out and clean them well, and again immerse twelve hours more, or longer if necessary. The skins may then l>e taken out, well washed and dried. They can be beaten soft, iC^eaireih^^ IS HE A MYTH. A Letter from SnntR CIiiuh Exprctnly to l'oor Little Hoyi. "What do you think I saw as I was going down street this morning, wrapped snugly in my fur coat, and muffled up to my eyes to keep out the cold ? Two little inite* of boys, crouching up under the shelter of some rickety old steps that led into a wretched tenement house. They were shkeriug with cold, barefoot, hungry, and big tears were rolling difwn their cheeks. Their mother was dead, ~.-v r<innfjc fli.'ir /Iriirikfin U1IU 11XZ) UiXUUv&O V VMV** v.. father had kicked them out doors, and told them to go and hunt up some breakfast if they wanted any. As I came near I heard one of them say: "0 Jimmy! it's almost Christmas! How I wish old Santa Claus would come down our chimney, and bring us a big fire, and some shoos and stockings, and oceans and oceans of bread and milk." " Why, Bob, ain't you a greeny, now ! There am't no Santa Claus; it's all gam-1 nion." Jimmy's eyes flew wide open. "No Santa Claus!" " No, it's all stuff." Jimmy's head went down I ke a flash, and he set up such a perfect howl of dis-1 appointment it brought the tears to my own eyes. But I walked straight up to them and said: " You're wrong, Jimmy, Santa is alive and well as ever. You just come along with me and see if he isn't." Then I took the poor, shivering little things into the first warm, bright spot we could find and set a plate of smoking hot soup before each one, and it did my soul good to see them eat. When they had finished I soon put them where they will be kindly cared for and went on my way. But what an idea?no Bant* Claus, hey ! It is all stuff and gammon about my riding up and down and over people's houses, and going down chimney to fill the children's stockings. That story would do for the time wheu the chimney and fireplace were half as big as the house, but for these days of narrow flues and air-tight stoves we couldn't think of such a thing. And, beside, there are so many children now. I have had to take in a great many partners or I could never carry on the business as it should be done. I have a great army of assistants, who enjoy filling the little red white and blue and brown stockings full to the brim after the dear little ones who wear them are fast asleep in their beds. And I have another small army who help wonderfully in another department of the work. They have warm, loving, tender hearts, and they go about among the poor and suffering ones of earth and report what they see to me, and soon after the very help and comfort which the poor souls needed most comes to them in some unaccountable. way. Just take a peep into my note book, dear children, and see how it reads : " Poor old granny Griggs, not a child or friend to look after her comfort; sick, lonely and poor. Dear little Molly Brown will run in Christmas morning and kiss her wrinkled cheek, brighten up the poor little room, make her a cup oi tea and a bit of toast, and give her a pair of new spectacles, and a Bible with large, plain print." "Jamie Martin, a little cripple, who ha3 to he on a hard bed all day long alone, while his mother goes out to wash, shall have a wonderful chair that will just fit his poor crooked back, so he can wheel himself up to the window and see what is going on in the world. And he shall hr-ve a Dice child's paper every week for a year." 14 Letty Gray, who works in the factory to support herself and little sister, shall have a great bundle of things, warm rin.l floilTlolo ft Tl H TPRR fltl <1 OlVV;imii^O OUU UUUUWA^) M MV t. shawl for each." " Mike Donovan, who got hurt in the mill, and is laid up for the winter, while his poor wife is trying to support the family, shall have a fil'ty-dollar greenback to help them along." 44 A minister's family in a small parish 4 far out West' shall have a wonderful Christmas-box that will make their hearts ting for joy." 44 There will be a pair of chickens, a fat turkey or a can of oysters left at the door of many a parsonage.. Many and many a poor widow will find a cord of wood or a ton of coal dumped down in her back yard on Christmas morning. Many and many a poor soul who doesn't know where to turn for work to earn his daily bread will find something to do that will keep the wolf from the door. Little girls that never had a doll before are going to have one now. Boys that never had a pop-gun or whistle will pop and wliistle to their heart's content this Christmas time." l There! you see it isn't all bosh and gammon about Santa, after all. He is alive and well and busier than ever before, and he wants more help or else somebody may be forgotten. Will you go into partnership with me ? The busij ness pays well. Juet sit down and put [ your thinking-cap on and see what you i can do to help me. Think what you can j do to make some poor, sad soul happier; ! how you can help some poor child to a i merry Christmas day. Look over your I nl<l t/YT-H And hnnlrs- At them nn as nice ! as you can and give them t-o some poor j mothers -who cannot afford to buy new ones for their children. If there is notlij iDg else you can do give a pleasant word, a kind smile, a little loviDg sympathy to those who need them, and you will be surprised to see how happy it will make them, and you too. If all the rich and happy ones of earth would only take hold of this blessed work in earnest, joy and gladness, peace and good will would fill every heart and home, and the angels would sing as never but once before : " Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good will to men." I A Mixed Set. A family in Marshalltown, Mo., con[ sisted of a husband, a wife, and a daughter of the previous wife by a pre| vious marriage; and there was a boarder. ! The husband was a druggist, the boardj er was a lawyer, and all were well regard| ed in the village. The affections of i these four persons became deranged, | and when a thorough understanding of j their hearts' conditions could be had, it i was fcund that the boarder and the wife i loved each other, and that the husband j and the daughter were similarly paired, i They decided upon a rearrangement of i relations, the boarder employing his knowledge of law in making a flank. The husband amicably abandoned hie wife, to give her the chance to get a dij vorce ; and, the separation being accomplished, the two couples were married ! according to their liking, and aif now ! living in the same house. The villagers, ; however, do not approve, and one night j they gathered around the house to ex i press their sentiments by blowing horns and burning t;ir. A witness before a Belfast (Me.)grftuc jury was asked if he had drank in i I certain saloon. "Yes." "Often?' I " Yes." "How much in six months?' " Well, I can't tell exactly.

In 1840 he waa elected to the Legislature of Massachusetts, in which he served four years in the State Senate, of which he waa president two sessions ; in 1848 | he became editor aud proprietor of the Boston Beptiblican.

In 1861 he raised the Twentysecond xegimeut of Massachusetts volunteers, of which ho became colonel, and after joining the army of the Potomac, was made a member of General McClellan's staff, on which he served until the meeting of Congress. He was again re-elected to the Senate for the term commencing in 1865 and ending in 1871, and was made chairman of the committee on pensions, though continuing at the head of the military committee. He published a work eni titled " Anti-Slavtry Measure* m Congress," and a " History of the Thirty-seventh and 1 Thirty-eighth Congresses," as well as of the Congressional measures connected with the prosecution of the war for the Uuion.
