MY UTTLE WOMAN.
SARAH DOUDSEV.
A homely cottage, (pialnt and old,
Its that grown thick with grcon and gold,
And wind-town grassed;
Unchanged it stand in inn and rain,
And seldom through tlio quiet lano
A footstep passes.
Yet hero my littlo woman dwelt,
And saw the shroud of Winter melt
From meads and fallows)
And heard the yellow-hammer sing
A tiny wclcomo to the Spring
From hudding sallows.
Sho saw tho early morning sky
Blush with tender wild-roso dyo
Alwve the larches)
And watched tho crimson sunset liuni
Behind tho Summer plumes of fern
lit woodland arches.
My littlo woman gono away
To that far land which knows, thoy say,
No mora sunsettingi
I wonder if her gentlo soul
Securely resting at tho goal,
Has learnt forgetting!
My heart wakes up, and cries in vain
Sh gave mc love, I gave her pain
Whllo sho was living)
I know not when her spirit lied,
But thoso who stood besido her said
Sho died forgiving.
My dove ha found a better rest,
And yet I love tho empty nest
Sho left neglected)
I tread tho very path sho trod,
And ask, in her new homo with God,
Am I expected!
If it were hut tho Father's will
To let mo know sho loves mo still,
This aching sorrow
Would turn to hope, anil I could say,
l'crchanco sho whispers day by day,
"Ho comes to-morrow."
I linger in tho silent lane,
And high abovo tho clover plain
Tho clouds aro riven)
Across tho fields sho used to know
Tho light breaks, and tho wind sigh low,
"Loved and forvircn."
SEAR BISTERS OF TOE HOME CIRCLE.
I was busy planning, turning and making
over an old dress to tho best advantage, and
between times, as it was so quiet, I got to
thinking of various topics belonging to my
homely every day life. Now I don't know
but soino of you would bo quite as much
interested in tho way I utilized that old dress
as in tho thoughts that I proposo telling
aliout, so it your patlcnco and my timo holds
out, I may somo timo yet givo you what I
know about dress-making) but I put my
thimble in tho basket and left the needle
sticking in tho work to givo my random
thoughts. In tho first place, I was thinking
of Pioneer Day, and of tho old friends I saw
and talked with that day, friends that I never
see only on that day, or somo other public
(jatlirrinu. vat they aro dcodIo for whom I
cherish a deep regard, but our paths in lifo
have seemed to divcrgo somewhat, and though
seeming to grow up, and yet I think there is
really a great deal of mutual plcasuro in theso
A meetings! a warm grasp of the hand revives
old memories, and tho day seems all too short
to go tho rounds of friendship, for each one
has something to tell of individual joys or
sorrows, and it scorns a we talk, and the
past comes up before us, that tho world is
not as sociable and as hospitable as it used to
be in thoso pioneer days. There was a cor
diality in social intercourse that seems want'
iug now. True hospitality does not call for
display or money; it is embodied in trifles,
the thoughtful remembranco of a strangers
pretence, and the friendly advances made to
them, which would mako that person feel at
home, is an act of hospitality. I havo never
known the feeling called homesickness, yet I
have been told it was painful beyond expres
sion, so if a cordial word or cheerful smilo
greet a stranger, how may wo measure tho ef
fect I havo myself felt tho greatest depres
sion of spirits, and meeting ono of those cheery
hospitablo hearts, havo been so warmed by a
word and a smilo that catching its spirit, was
ready to spread the contagion. Some think
that friendship mutt be shown only in eating
and drinking, aud that an elaborate meal, got
ten up with extra caro and expense is the
highest typo of hospitality. A plain meal of
fered a friend or stranger who may happen in
at meal time, and offered without apology or
words, is tho most acceptable
Tho table can be made a promoter of socia
bility, and often a bashful tongue can be un
locked under its influence. Po we think
enough of those amenities of life? They cer
tainly elevate character and lift the mind
alwve tho petty distractions of life to cultivate
a social spirit. It gives the children an in
sight into life to thus bring them into contact
with others in a social way, giving them an
opportunity of studying human nature. Life
is not worth much without the social element,
and so is it not best to look at life in its picas-
antest phases, cultivating a habitual manner
of kindliness to every one we meet. Depend
upon it this it the way to be happy and will
often carry hope and sunshine to many who
need it I don't tee after all as what I say
mounts to much, to I will stop and pick up
my needle and the spool of thread that the
kitten is rolling about and tum my thoughts
to supper, m I hear the children coming from
school, already clamoring for something to eat
What shall I get (or thoy are as hungry as
little bears. We had young beat ami potatoes

with a little butter, salt, pepper and vinegar
and will make some gems. Two cups sour
milk, two-thirds cup sweet milk, table

one level spoonful of soda, stir in flour to make
rather stiff batter and bake in a heated gem

meal fit for any one,

there will bo no watching for fear of burning.

BOW TO MAKE JELLIES.
Tho process for all jclly-making is material
ly tho samo. Cook tho fruit In a porcelain or
granito kettle and stir with a wooden or silver
spoon. Iron and tin utensils injure both tasto
and color. If a brass kettle is used, be par
ticular to scour it thoroughly with hot salt
and vinegar just before using, and rcmovo tho
contents directly on taking from tho fire.
When tho fruit Is well softened, with or
without tho addition of water, according to
ita nature, turn It into a large, threo cornered
bag, that has been wrung out of hot water.
Tho hag max lo made of cither coat-so linen,
cotton or flannel and must be stout as well as
coarse. Suspend this bag of hot fruit over an
earthen bowl or Jar. and If convenient in a
warm placoj leavo it to drip for twelve hours.

"squeezing" and tho bag being suspended
over night, tho jelly will only tako a kittlo

strained, measure the lulcoi wcioh a tmund of
sugar for each pint and Ihj particular about it
too. Don't "guess," if you want to mako
good jelly, but If you prefer to measure In
stead of weighing uso a hcanins iilnt of aucar
for every pint of juice) and if the fruit is very
sour mako the latter measure scant. Boil the
julco fast for twenty minutes, skim it well
then add the sugar, and when it is dissolved
tho jelly will fall from tho spoon in flakes) if
it docs not, then let it bojl for five minutes,
but it will seldom be noccssarv. lioilimr tho
juico long after tho sugar is put in will mako
it dark and strong, and spoil tho jelly. Strain
the Jelly, whllo tolling hot, through a thin
bag, into a tiitchcri hold tho bottom of tho
bag with a fork aud twist tho top, but not too
tight and cloto if you want your Jelly to bo
bright and clear. Pour as soon as nnulhlo
into tho molds as tho Jelly will form almost
immediately and tho quicker it ran bo trans

Into cold water lieforo filling, that the form
may turn out nicely, and if glass is used to

A rr.w days ago, says tho Clinton (Mass.)
Courant, a littlo fellow, anxious to find a
home for a pet kitten where it would stand a
good chance of being well brought up, carried
itjto tho homo of one of our clergymen, ask
ing him, as he responded to the knock, if he
would like a kitten.
"Oh, I don't know," said he, "whataort of
a kitten have you got!"
"A Unitarian kitten, sir."
"No, I guess not, of that sort"
A few mornings after, the littlo fellow ap
peared at the, same door and rang the door
bell. The boy repeated his offer.
"But are you not the same little boy that
called the other day, and is this riot the same
little Unitarian kitten you liad then?"
"I know it," the boy responded; "it's the
same kitten, but he's got his eyes .open now,
and he's an Episcopal kitten."
It is fair to surmise that the "opening of the
eyes" proved the salvation of pussy, and
found for it an agreeable and congenial home,
