FARJfr HARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. The Way We Do It. 1 don't like it very well folks callit g my husband the "Old Smilor," says a correspondent, and I told him so the other day. He just up aud smiled out loud in a ha I ha ! that yon could have heard clear down to the creek. He said "if every mau had as good a wife as I have, and as happy a home, there would be more husbands called ' Smilers.'" Just then he helped himself to another spoonful of baked beans ; aud that re . niiuds me that all women do net bake beans my way. I soak the beans over night, and about the right time in the forenoon wash and put tliem ou to boil in cold water. I ponr off that water after the beans have cooked a while, and add more. This prevents them from having that strong llavor peculiar to dry beans. When they are cooked done I put them in a pan, and lay on the top of them a slice of fresh pork, and put them in the oven to bake. The meat should roast a delicsite brown color; its juice will impart a fine flavor to the beans. This is a better plan than the old way of boiling meat and beans together. My old Smiler is a poor man, and we are obliged to live very economically. For Sunday dinner, I will tell you one thing that I fix the day before. My busband must have his " meat vittals," as he calls 'em ; ho says if he don't get ' 'em he feels like a tow string with all the twist let out of it. We caunot afford steak and sirloin every day, by any means, so I buy a little piece for a stew that costs seven or eight cents a pound, and I cook it so as to make it just as good as a roast. I put it in a kottle of hot water, enough to cover it, aud then season it. We don't like any strong flavor, so I take a little sage, a little summer savory, a little thyme, a little red pepper, a little onioD, aud a little salt Put all in and boil awhile, then skim them out and the flavor will bo delicious aDd dainty, and one cannot tell with what tho meat is seasoned. v Theu boil slowly several hours, settiDg it on top of the stove ;is the water boils out for every drop must boil away. I let it simmer and l'ry a little, but I am very careful that it does not scorch. Then I set it away for Sunday dinuer in a cool place. With a sharp knife it can be sliced very nicely, and it makes the principal dish on the table. Even a piece of neck, 6uch as my mother-in-law would use only for mince pies, becomes in this way tender aud good. Sometimes I buy a piece of flank, salt it well, and let it lie twelve hours. Theu I cut up some bits of salt pork and spread on the strip of flank, roll up, be ginuing at one end cr side, wrap in a piece of muslin, tie with a thread, and boil slowly till done. I leave it wrapped up compactly until I am ready to slice it when cold. Sometimes I put in a couple of small slices of bread and butter instead of tho minced pork. This is very handy for a hurried dinner. My husband is a hearty eater. He is a good provider as far as his means go, too, but I havo to contrive a good many little ecouomies to keep our household ex pensos reasonable. But as long as he bears the sobriquet of44 the old Smiler," I shall think my path is full of 44 pleasantness and peace." ' Domestic Krclpes. Corn Pudding.?Take six ears of * - corn, cut the grains from tho cob and crush them; beat three eggs light, add one pint of sweet milk, one tablespoon^ ful of butter, and a little salt and pepper; stir it^well, and pour in a tin baker aud bake one hour. Tomato Catsui\?Pour boiling water on the tomatoes, and then peel them. Preys them through a seive, and boil tho pulp thus obtained two hours, over a gentle fire, in a preserving kettle. A t A . i 1 Aiia Bail, pepper, nutmeg, mace, cloves, clnuamoD, allspice, "black anil red pepper, in whatever quantity preferred, the less tlio better for health. Boil a few minutes after the spice is pat in, and that will deaden its pungency. Strain through a sieve and bottle. Cucumber Pickles.?Gather young cucumbers of uniform size, by cutting from the vines early in the morning, and keep in a cool place until you have enough to fill a jar; put them in brine strong enough to float on egg, and let remain for a week; drain, and put in a stone jar; pour cider vinegar, boiling hot, over them. If the vinegar is boitofl ia bra6s, or a bell-metal vessel, the pickles will take 011 a hue green, but when eaten will impart a poisonous element to the stomach, not good for the health. Codfish Balls.?Prepare a kettle of potatoes as for mashing; boil with them a good sized piece of codfish. When done, take the bones from the fish, and with a potato masher, in a chopping bowl, mash or rub it fine; then mash your potatoes the same way, mixing fish and potatoes thoroughly. Have fish enough to season the potatoes nicely; then, with yonr hands, make little pats . or balls about three inches in diameter and one-half inch in thickness, and lay thorn on a platter till wanted for breakfast. Fry to a nice brown in butter, or fried pork gravy. It requires but a few minutes to prepare them after they are boiled. Questions unil Answers. How can evergreens be made to grow stocky ?

Slo: son, was called up in a Virginia City court on tho charge of druukeuness. lie was a remarkably seedy looking specimen, arrayed in a dirty cf'^ck shirt and a p; ir of loose, baggy trousers, which were prevented from falling oil by a leather strap knotted about his waist. He was ehiveriug and trembling from the effects of a debauch, and hardly had the strength to stand upright. When the judge usked him if ho had anything to say, he rose up in a soit of disjointed way and demanded a jury trial, which was granted, and when his turn cauie he advanced and began : "Gentlemen of the jury, I stand here to-day less a defender of my own personal debasement than an example of human depravity, which, like a beacon light, should warn you from tho ragged rocks of intemperance. A man in my j ; condition is like a rude sign post 1 ! ? m ?i.:?u I | once saw 1U xeuueBijee, wuwu jjuiubi-u ; up a road over which the green grass ! was beginning to wave. On the sign was the inscription, * Smallpox,' and the ! index linger of a hand pointing westi ward. If any of you in traveling along | a highway saw such a sign as that you I would pause upon the brink of deadly I danger and turn backward. [Sensation.] J In mo you behold such a sign, and if by I looking upon me any one of you can be j turned back from destruction, I shall J think that God in His infinite mercy has I allowed me to fill a sphere of usefulness j which shall enable mo to boar with forti| tude the imputation constantly hurled upon me by my own conscience, that I have lived in vain. "Gentlemen of tho jury, as you peruse the pages of the old poets you will see how they have deified the wine cup. They have wreathed it with the flower3 of fancy, surrounded it with tho halo of' song, and peopled its bloody depths with the creatures of their own bright imaginations, until one might almost believe it to be the wellspring of human happiness, when bitter experience tells us in very different language that it is the fountain head of misery, the abode of tho demon that destroys our very lives. There is something which comes up in the fumes of tho cup that fools call inspiration, but it is a cunning rep| tile which, crawling up from the dregs of the grape, enters the window of the brain and steals away, like a thief in the night, with our reason fast in its embrace. There is a hand in the wine cup which, at any moment, may put its felon grip upon your throats and strangle you as a strong man might a babe. Gentlemen of the jury, I have not long to stay. Two mighty miners are delving on this lode?time and death. They are daily at their posts, working together side by side as 0110 eternal shift, clearing away the rubbish of waste rock and pushing along the ledge. Before long t sha 1 be gathered into the vast laboratory of death, a piece of useless porphyry, to be cast into the waste dumps of hell." Here he pulled from his pocket a red handkerchief and began to sob. The old miners and the jury, moved by his forcible simile, broke forth into a simultaneous sob, in which the court, spectators and prosecuting attorney joined. The jury were obliged to hud him guilty, but recommended him to the mercy of the court. He was accordingly fined $5, which the jury paid on the spot. Twelve Hours in a Well. John Snllivau, the young man who was buried for twelve hours by tlic caving in of a well at Portsmouth, N. 11., and was rescued alive, has made a statement to a correspondent of the Boston Jlerald, which that paper thus reports : Sullivan says that a boy dropped a dipper in the well, and John Welch, a brother-in-law to Sullivan, kuowiug that he had been to sea, asked him to go down on the rope of the bucket used for drawing water, and secure the dipper for the boy. Sullivan went down on the rope, as was subsequently ascertained by measurement, twenty-eight feet, aud then found that the stonework of the Well had partially caved in below him. He placed his foot innocently on one of the rocks that had not got out of place, and iustant.ly the stone walls of the well caved all around and above him with a tremendous crosh. As soon as he could recover himself ho found that his right hand was jammed fast, and his right leg as well. With his left hand he felt over his head and found that about three inches above his head two large flat rocks had formed an arch protecting his head. A peaked rock was pressing against his chest, which, frith tho dirt and sand around his mouth, prevented him from speaking for about an hour, during which timo he could distinctly hear the voices above saying that ho was dead aud making preparations to send for a /ini-muir TTm hAnrri Priest McOartllV. of w4^mv.? ^ ? %l r Portland, who happened to be in the neighborhood visiting, and came to the spot, say : "John, are you alive?" and for the first time he then spoke and said: "Yes." The priest then asked him to make an act of contrition and told him he would pray for him. Sullivan says he did the best ho could in the way of devotion under the circumstances, and when the priest told him that lie thought he would be taken out alive, he then had every contidenco that ho wonld be. He says the air was very bad until they got the air pump at work. He says he feared that when the trains wonld come along the Eastern railroad, distant only about two thousand feet, the well might cave further, but at no time did he hear a train, although they were constantly passing. He is not bruised, save only on one wrist, and a slight abrasion of the skin on the shoulder. In reply to a question why lie did not take the brandy which l)r. Whitticr offered him when they reached his head, he said : "If I was to die, I wanted to die a sober man. I did not need any rum courage." To Enjoy Walking, ri atta/1 n If-in fir AU im piv?|*uujr CLIJV/JWV., u tour should be gone upon alone. If you go in company, or even in pairs, it is no longer a walking tour in anything but name; it is something else, and more in the nature of a picnic. It should bo gone upon alone, because freedom is of the essence; because you should be able to stop and go on, and follow this way or that, as the freak takes you;, and because you must have your own pace, and neither trot alongside a champion Avulker, nor mince in time with a girl. And then you must be open to all impressions, and let yonr thoughts take color from what you see. You should be as a pipe for any to play upon. "I cannot see the wit," says Hazlitt, "of walking and talking at the same time. When I am in the country I wish to vegetate like the country," which is the gist of all that can be said upon the matter.

It in a sad commentary upon our boasted ! civilization that the women of our timed have ! degenerated in health and physique until they j aio literally a race of iuvalidd?pale, nervous, j 'eeblo ami back achy, with only liero and there a few noblo exception in the persons of the robust, buxom ladie* characteristic of the sex | in da\8 gone by. By a very large experience, i covering a period of years, and embracing the i treatment of many thousands of cases of those ailments peculiar to women. Dr. Pierce, of the World's Dispensary, Buffalo, N.

This natural spocific c >mliouod is called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pres^riptiou. The following are among those diseases iu which this wonderful modiciue has worked cores as if by magic and with a certainty never beforo attained by any medicines: Weak back, nervous and general debility, falling aud other displacements of internal organs, resulting from debility and lack of strength in natural supports, internal fover, congestion, inflammation and ulceration and very many other chronic diseases incident to women, not proper to mention hero,in which, as well as in the canoe that have beeu enumerated, the Favorite Prescription effects cures?the marvel of the woil i. It will not do harm in any state or condition of the system, and by adopting its use the invalid lady may avoid that severest of ordeals?the consulting of a family physician. Favorite Prescription is sold by dealers in medicines generally. * Debility and Nervous Headache. Chronic, sick or nervous headache is generally dependent on, or accompanied by, impaired indigestion, by which the circulation and nutrition of the braiu arc deranged, and the nervous centers vitiated. The Poraviau Syrup, by reinvigoraiing the digestive powers, lays the ax at the root of the tree ; the braiu is duly nourished, the norvous symptoms cease, and the headache disappears. * Simple and inexpensive as it is, Glenn s Sttlphcb Soap is a most efficient remedy for certain obnoxious diseases, to be cured of which those afflicted with them often spend thousands of dollars to no purpose.
