A ttwrywr Pwt«r Cmrtsrrlcht. , On« daj, on Approaching a ferry acroaa the river Winow, he beard the ferryman a wearing terribly at titeaer- raoni of Peter Cartwright, and'thrteat' entng that if ho ever had to ferry the preacher acroea, end knew him, he would drown Mm' in the river. Peter, unrecognised, aaid to the ferryman: Stranger,- I want you to pot me over.” “ Wait till I’m ready,^ said the ferry, man, and purtued his strictures on Pe ter Cartwright. Haring finished, he turned to Peter and said: “ Now, I’ll put you across.” On reaching the middle of the stream Peter threw the horse’s bridle over a •take in the boat, and told the ferryman to Wt go hie pole, _ . ;i What for ? H naked the ferryman. H Well, you’re just been using my name improper-like, and yon said that if I erer came this way you would drown me. Now you’ve got your chance.” " Ir your name Peter Cartwright ? - ’ naked the ferryman. “ My name is Peter Cartwright.’’ Instantly the ferryman laid hold of the preacher, but he did not know Pe- tcr'S strength, for Peter instantly seised the ferryman, and, holding him by the nape of the neck, plunged him into the water, saying: " I baptise thee (splash) in the name ofShtan, whose child thou art.” Thon, Mthtg him up dripping, Pel tar asked: 4, IbM you’erer pray ?” ‘\Ne. ” ‘ Then it's time you did.” “FU di no such thing,” answered tho ferryman. Splosh, and the feityman was in the depths again. “ Will yoa pray now ?’’ asked Peter. The gasping victim shouted.- *• I'll do anything yon bid me/ “ Then follow me—‘ Our Father, Which art in Heaven, etc. ’ ” Having acted clerk, repeating after Peter, the ferryman cried : “ Jlow, let me go!” “ Not yet,” said Peter. “ You must make me three promisee.- 1st, that you will repeat the prayer morning and evening as long as you live ; 2nd, that you wHl hear every pioneer preacher that eomes within five miles of this ferry ; 3d, that you wi 1 put over every preacher free of expense^ Ho you promise and TOW V* “ I promise,” said the ferryman 1 ; and strange to say, that very man became a sbioing light ia the church. ■eel pee. ■—T*" - Purr Pudding 6 eggs, add $ OtB AMERICAN HOTKL, Istabushxd about 1830. ft is rictify worth our while fb act our ftoes against' scandal in any form, as much for onr*own sake as for the sake of those who mo bow the yfotims. In pro tecting other! trim are not with us, we protect ouraelves when wa are away. Not ou)y iakitflnbte to avoid giving currency to tfc« tales that are evidently ft lee, but, alab, it is desirable tb'keep to oumehres tales that may be true. “ The re«liness U> believe evil of otliars, espe cially ef those who here been reputed to be eminently good,aswn evidence'of cou- scrour weakness nodw temptation, or of conscious proelivity t# vice that finds comfort in eminent compcniooehip.” How much better to Mm oblivion for ourselves by veiling the ofieneu of those around us. The bare efdrt tb di it wifi bring blessings in its train. As we for- give so shall we be forgiven. Pitying tbeeo who- have fallen, we may hope ths* we-shall oot'be lead into temptation too sharp for cur strength. And so through Hfe. hswkjg tha mwiMiauni and spoonfulls of milk and six of flour ; but ter some enps, pour in the butter and bake the pudding quickly, then torn' them out and eat them with butter, su. gar and nutmeg. To Hkmovk Far.ciCi'.ta.—Ofte on Ace of slum, same of lemon juice in a pint of rose water; apply at night. Fruit Carl.—Two and a half cups of silled flour, three eggs, two-thirds of a cup of butter, two-thirds of a cup of brown sugar, one- half cup of molasses and one teaspoonlul oi cream of tarter, one pound of raisins, cloves and cinna mon to taste. Cheap Cake.—-One egg, one cup sugar, one tablespoonful of blitter, two" thirds of a cup of milk or water, nearly two cups of flour, heaping tablespoonful of baking powder, nutmeg to taste. Minute Sponge Cake,—Beat eggs two minutes; add one Cup and a half of sugar ; bent two minutes ; one cup flour, one ice spoonful cream tarter ; heat one minute ; add half a cup cold water with half teaspoonful soda and teaspoonful extract of lemon ; beat one minute; add one cup of flour; beat one minute. Good Fineoar—-To three quarts of molasses add eight gallons clear rain water, put into a good cask and shake it up well a few times, then put in two or three spoonfuls of yeast or two yeast cakes ; if in the summer, place the cask at the warmest side of the house ; if in ’cold weather, near the chimney where it may be kept waim. In ten or fifteen days add to the liquor a sheet of brown paper tom in shtods and dipped in mo lasses. Good vinegar will be produced in about six weeks. Kkrosine for the Hair.—It should bo applied twice or tlwee times a week, and well rubbed in with the finger ends. It is said that' there will be no odor of it left in half an hour after using it, and that it will restore grey hair to its natu ral color. Cure for CmLBl.AjVs.—Slice raw potatoes, with the skins on, and sprinkle over them a little sail, and as soon as the liquid therefrom settles in the bottom of the dish, wash with it the chilblains / one application is all that is ueccessary. Proverbs In Cooking. Good flour is not tested by its color. White flour mav not be the best. The w • test of good flour is by the amount of water it absorbs. In cooking a fowl, to ascertain when it is done, put a skewer into the breast, and if the breast is tender, the fowl is done. To beat the whites of eggs qnickly put in a pinch of salt. The cooler the eggs the quicker they will froth. Salt cools and also freshens them. Never put a pudding that is to be steamed in anything else than a dry mould. Never wash raisins that are to be used in sweet disbis. It will make the pudding heavy. To clean them wipe them with a dry towel. The water used in mixing bread must be tepid hot. If too hot, tha loaf will be full of great holes. To boil potatoes successfully, when the skin breaks, pour oft the water and let them finish cooking in their own •team.

We cannot see why (he negroes should not be allowed to go in peace to Kan sas, or New Mexico, or Liberia, or even to Utah, if they wish to go there, or to ;any othar plaoe open to the white mau. They have a right to go where they please, and when they please, provided they violate no contracts and obligationi entered into before starting, f They have access to the same sources .of informs- - . ,> • ’ f lion that the white mau has, and if they migrate to any new country under a dc-' lusion, they will do no more than hun dreds of white men have done before- then. Many of these three thousand who have gone to'Kansas wiUlbng for their old homes before thh time next year, Md some of them will return. White immigrants have done the same thing. If the negro Wishes to migrate, let him go in peace, with the best wisher of his old owners ; if he prefers to stay on bit native soil, give him the best chance possible to improve himself, morally, mentally aud pecuniarily. i The outlook for the low country of* South Carolina is said to be growing brighter; It is thought that hereafter ithe cultivation of rice and long cotton in that metfea-of the ^t ate will be regu larly profitable.
