THB BUM OP UVINO.
Not what we would, btit wliat wo must,
Milken up tlii sum of living;
Ile.ivcn is Loth more nml less than just
In taking nml in giving.
Swords clcavo to lmtuts that sought tlio
And laurels miss tlio soldier's brow.
Me, whom tlio city holds, whoso feet
Have worn its stony highways,
Familiar with its loneliest street
Its ways aro never my ways.
My cradlo was besido the sea,
And there, I hope, my grave will he.
Old homestead! In that old gray town
The vano is seaward blowing,
Tho slip of garden stretches down,
To wlicro tho tido is llovfingi
Below thoy lie, their sails all furled
Tho ships that go about tho world.
Dearer that littls country house,
Inland, with pines besido it.
Somo peach trees, with unfruitful boughs,
A well with weeds to hido It;
No flowers, or only such a rise
Self-sown, poor things, which all despise.
Dar country home! Can I forgot
Tho least of thy sweet trillcs?
Tho window-vines that clamber yet,
Whoso blooms tho bco still rilles?
Tho roadiido blackberries, growing ripe,
And in tho words tho Indian pipe!
Happy tho man who tills his field,
Content with rustic laliort
Earth docs to him her fulness yield,
Hop what may to his neighbor,
Well days, sound niahts, O can there bo
A llttlo more rational and frco?
Dear country lifo of child and man!
For both tho best tho strongest,
That with tho earliest race began
And host outlived tho longest,
Their cities perished long ago;
Who tho first farmers wcro wo know,
l'crhaps our ltabcls, too, will full,
If so, no lamentation.
For Mother Karth will shelter all,
And feed tho unborn nations.
Yes, and tho swords that menace now
Will then bo boaton to tho plough.

HOW TO MAKE A SCRAP BOOK.
I wonder if many of tho young readers of
tho Press know how much plcasuro thcro Is in
, making a really pretty scrap Itook. Not a
book filled w itli pictures of over' sort and
destription, taken without regard to their sub
jeets, but one in which every picturs suggests
something pleasant. Thoso who would like
to try making ono, may bo glad of a few hint
o I will givo tho result of my experience
Tho first requisite to success. No book can
be pretty if tho pictures aro badly cut out
and carelessly put in, and the leaves crumpled
and daubed with paste.
Have your pasto rather th'ck, but freo from
rLri lumps, and spread it on thinly, l'ut a sheet
r- 'of card-board as large as your book under tho
i ... ...
pago on whieh you aro going to paste, so as to
have a firm, sinooth surfaco to press upon.
Then lay tho picture carefully in its place,
using a soft rag to smooth tho wrinkles and
wipe tho posto from tho edges. When you
have finished all tho pasting you mean to do
at tho time, put somo sheets of rather porous
paper newspaper will do between tho leaves
and if possible, scparato them from the
rest of the book by two sheets of card-board
slipped between them and the dry leaves.
Tbon put the wholo under a heavy weight.
It should bo left there for at least two uavs,
otherwise, though they may look very smooth
when first taken out, the leaves are apt to
warp. De surv before putting the book under
the weight, that there is no paste on the sur
face of tho pictures, or the newspaper wil'
stick and leave ugly blotches. All this may
(com a great deal of trouble to tako for such
an object, but one is amply repaid for it by
the neat appearance of the book.
It is best to collect a number of pictures bo
fore pasting any in, as they can then be com
bined to advantage. It is not necessary to
nut them close, tonctlier on the page, ""d a
good deal of taste can bo displayed in arrange
lug them. A pretty way is partly to fill the
page with pictures of about the same width,
leaving on tho outer edge a wide margin. Ou
this margin aro to bo arranged in a graceful or
grotesque manner littlo colored pictures from
which all tho Kickground has been cut away.
Christmas and birthday cards can cither be
used in this way or pasted in whole. The
leaves of the scrap book had best be of white
or neutral tinted paper, as few of tho bright
colors throw out the pictures well.
Perhaps somo of my readers know of some
little invalid or poor child who would bo
delighted with the liook w hen finished, or if
they do not themselves know of such a ono
there are children's hospitals and other insti
tutions of the kind to which such a gift would
be very acceptable.
CRAB APPLES IN THE KITCHEN.
As this is the season of the year wheu
crab apples aro ripe, as v. ell as the time for
, laying by preserved and canned fruits for
winter use wo append the following recipes
for putting up crab apples:
For jelly it ued to be thought necessary to
Invo equal weight or measure of applo Juico
and sugar; but experience and observation
hive taught a different lesson. The best
method of making jelly that I have ever tried
is after this wise: Wash the apples after
looiing them over carefully and removing all
the steins and cutting off the speck, and to a
peck of apples allow a gallon of water; let
them boil till the apples are soft enough to
pierce with a spoon; drain the liquors otf by
pouring into a colander, being careful not to
mash the apples; boil the juice till it is quite
thick, or till boiled away one-half; then strain
through a jelly bag made of thick cotton
cloth; do not squeeze it, but let it drip
through; as it is not desirable to have any of
the pulp pass through; then measure the
juice, and to two teacupsful of the liquor
add one cupsfull of sugar granulated sugar
looks the nicest but is no better to tho taste
than coffee sugar sot it over a slow firu in a
porcelain kettle, and let it boil slowly half an
hour, and your jelly is much nicer than if it
wcro sweeter. When it is cool cno'igh not to
crock your cups or cans, dip it out, and cover
tightly from tho air; it gives you tho most
beautiful jelly that can bo manufactured, just
acid enough for all purposes, and it will keep
any length of tnno desirable.
For pickles tako a gallon of vinegar, two
pounds of sugar, a tablespoonful each of mus
tard, black pepper, cloes, cinnamon, and
pitnent, uriinr them to a boil; havo your
apples washed, and when tho vinegar Itoils,
put in six quarts of apples, and let them sim
mer slowly till you can pierto them with a
straw or sprig of broom corn; skim them out
carefully into n jar, and put as many more
apples in tho kettle. When tlicio aro done
and skimmed out, let tho syrup boil n fen
moments, then turn it in jo tho jar over tlio
apples and cover it tightly, and in three days
ou will havo one of tho nicest relishes that
can bo prepared. Just try it, and sco how
toothsome it is.
ror preserves, allow three-quarters of u
pound of sugar to a quart of apples; have thn
sugar Imiling hot in tho porcelain kettle, and
then turn in tho apples. Leave tho stems on
the fruit; boil slow ly till tender, skim out care
fully, and be carcfal not to smash tho fruit.
After boiling all tho apples in tho sugar, sim
mer the syrup down one-half and pour over
tho fruit; coyer very tightly, and they
wilt keep nicely, and make a delicious chango
for a relish with bread and butter, ou tho tea
table.

HOME DRESSMAKING.
Andre ' llutsr.
Thcro is a good deal of work about making
a dress, oven if it is a small one, but it is very
littlo mora trouble, to make a tasteful and
stylish, and it is a pleasanter task to create a
pretty thing than an ugly one. I.lko all
other arts of tho homo dressmaking, it takes
experience to mako a success of children's
dresses. Amateurs are apt to take fright at
tho dressy, claborato style now in vogue, but
really thcro is nothing appalling alxiut them
with a plato or pattern to follow, and tho
most complicated aro frequently tho most
easy to copy in old materials, because tho
olcln'.ratlou helps to disguiso many makeshifts
in tho way oft piecing and eking out scanty
trimmings.
Ono of tho daintiest little misses known to
mo wears a dress for her "Sunday best" that
looks as if it might have been selected from
ono of tho most fashlonablo shop windows. I
should never havo suspected it of being home
made, much less mado of a fabrio no longer
now, had not my familiarity with tho child's
mother and sister made me expect marvels
irom tncir lingers ami venture to ask so
searching questions.
I am liappy to say that my friends w ere not
ashamed of their economy, but gavu mo a his
tory of the littlo dress withobllgiug readiness,
The foundation was a plain princess form, cut
from a thin lining, which, by tho way, was
orignally a light calico morning dress of ono
of the older sisters. Among tho cast-off
clothes of tho family wcro small portions of
two very old silk dresses, one a fine black-a'id-wliito
check, the other a plain dark brown.
Thcro was not in cither enough in quantity
to do much alone, but combined they wcro
sufficient to make a very good result. The
silk was poor and thin, but it was carefully
cleaned and stiffened, and wherever used,
furnished with a thin, coarso Swiss luusliu
lining. Long folds of tho two silks alternat
ing were put upon the front breadth perpen
dicularly, reaching from tho throat to the bot
tom of tho dress in tho center. Across the
back were narrow gathered ruffles of check
silk bound with the plain brown. Tho upper
part of the dress was of whito Angora gauze
flannel skirting, which was but twenty cents
a yard, and resembled a summer camnl's-hair.
Tho fronts were made in sacque form, meet
ing over tho long center plaits at one point
only, about equidistant between the throat
and waste, and cut away abruptly above ami
lwlow. Tho back was long and looped over
the ruffles with very graceful effect. The
cuffs were of checked silk, with brown bias
binding upon the edge, and the deep around
collar (almost a cape) was in tho samo order.
Tho upper part ol tho dress was covered with
brown silk that was too old and poor to lo fit
for any other use; but, under tho polonaise,
the worn places did not appear, and tho flan
nel was so thin that it required a continuous
color Iwneath to prevent the ugly variegated
appearance that somo silks and bunting toil
ettes present. The polouiase was edged w ith
threo rows of machine chin-stitching, dono
with coarse brown silk, and was not a separate
garment, being sewed in with the shoulder
and sido seams, ami buttoned in tho back
with brown buttons.
Another dress of the same Tittle lady's was
made from a pair of old Turkey-red curtains
of the dark color and heavy quality of former
manufacture. The dress was made with a full
skirt gathered around tho waist, with five
rows of shirring. Tho blouse-waist was
gathered in the same way. The deep collar,
cuffs, wide belt, and the binding to two ruffles
on the bottom of the skirts, were of Madras
gingham in iudigo blue shades. The combi
nation nude a very quaint and stylish dress,
and was moddled from a recently imported one
of much more expensive material.
In making over children's clothes, or elders
clothes for children, there is a double advan
tage in combining more than one material.
Fresher parts of both cau bo used, and har
monious arrangement of colors divert the eye
from the want of newness that might be ap
parent in a plainer dress. In making use of
diverse fabrics there is, however, one all-important
thing to be kept in mind there must
be a certain harmony in color and method of
arrangement observed, or the effect will be
disastrous.

espouse your cause.
CHOICE RECIPES.
Sweet Maxooes. I'ccl your melon,
ltcinove the seed and save tho section you cut
out to put back again. Chop up cabbage,
green tomatoes, small cucumbers and somo of
the melon. Drain all thn water from them
well after they aro chopped, and season lightly
with ground spicccs;add red pepper and gtccn,
finely chopped. Fill tho mangoes, fasten in
the piece, and pack them closely in a jar.
Mako a syrup in tho propoitiun of live pints
of sugar to three of vinegar, Tlio quantity
will depend on the number of mangoes.
Boll tho sugar and vinegar together,, throw In a
few spices, skim well, and w lien nearly cold
pMr it over tho mangoes, l'ut slices of horse
radish root uu top and a plato to keep them
under the liquid, and cover closely.
1'otatci Yeast. Cook and mash six pota
toes, and add water enough to make a thin
batter; when cool add a cupful of sugar, a
tcospoouful of salt, nnd yeast enough to maku
it rise; set in a warm placo till light; then put
it In bottles and so) it in a dark, cool placo till
wanted.
UuiiNS Immediately euro a burn and stop
all pain by applying to tho burned surface
bicarbonate of soda, in lino powder if it is a
dry burn use a paste of bicarbonate of soda
and water, or a strong solution of tho bicarbon
ate; of soda in Mater, and apply to tho burned
surfaco. This relieve sun-burns as well as
bums from hot coats, melted sulphur, hot Iron,
steam, etc.
llfCKUHEAT 1'ancake.s. Tako good buck
wheat flour two parts, to ono of graham meal
the coarso bran removed by sifting; mix well
a quantity and set an ay for use. Mako bat
ter with buttermilk, and raiso with soda.
Caro must be taken in baking,as ni'icli depends
upon this operation, and equally much upon
tho tcmparatiiro of tho past at tho timo of
baking tho nearer the frost point the better,
so that when it itrikes tho griddle, whith is
to 1 well heated, tho soda, inert under the
reduced temperature, acts at once, tho mass
baking as it rises, thus retaining tho light,
spongy set. In a few moments, and before
th upper part of tlio moss is much heated,
turn. Immediately tho cake will raiso, and
in a few moments more tho wholo will bo set,
when at onco remove. Both sides will ex
hibit a rich brown, Tho heat requires a nice
graduation to securo this result. In taking
from tho griddlo do it carefully, avoiding es
pecially all pressing, and lay in a previously
warmed dish, which keep covered. In a few
minutes servo. It will bo found delicious in
quality and of a downy softness of texture,
retaining its light, spongy charrctcr. In this
condition it is toothsome- and wholesome. A
smaller portion of graham flour may lie used
with about tho samo success where it is de
sired to get mora of tho buckwheat flavor. It
wilt lie seen that somo caro is hero required,
and disappointment may result at first, but
practico Iml attention set all right, and tho
superior excellency of tho dish will repay all
trouble. I havo used it for many years as
part of my Winter morning meal, nml with
lebcrwurst it makes an excellent breakfast.
Victoria at a Wife.
Theodore Martin has omitted somo of tho
minor episodes of domestic lifo of tho Queen
and l'rinco Albert, which would, perhaps,
havo cost him his spurs had ho related them'
in his "Life of tho Lato Prince Consort."
Wheu tho august pair were first married, al
though the match was ono of love, at least on
the Queen's part, her majesty could not al
ways control her temper, and on tho occasion
of one of thoso trilling quarrels that occur
even in the best regulated families she threw
a teacup at the I'rinco's head. He, excessive
ly indignant, retired to his apartments and
locked tho door. The Queen's anger having
somevi hat abated, she thought him sutliciently
punished and knocked at Ids door. To the
question, "Yho's there" she replied in impe
rious tones, "Tho Queen." Prince Albert did
not answer and she went away, lly-and by
thu thought she would try again, and to tho
"Who's there?" answered "Victoria." Again
there was complete silence, and again she re
tired. With the pcrsevcranco characteristic
of a woman alarmed at trouble to came, alio
determined to tty a third time, and in response
to tlio . "Who's there?" replied sobbingly,
"Your j'own -loving wife." This brought
Prince Albert to terms and peace was re
established. It is said thcro was nomoro tea
cup thrqwlngfn the happy family. Yet Vic
toria always 'remained, an exacting wife, and
never allowed her spouse what is. in Ixiurjiois
ment kuown'as a latch key. As the Prince
presided at many public dinners, it was often
close to midnight before he could possibly
reach Windsor, and ho hail accordingly alnraye
a storm to faco for keeping late hours. Fi
nally the Queen ordered the gates to bo closed
at 10:30 v. a., and the now much monumeuted
husband was locked out if he liappened to bo
behind time.

Dr. Holmes. ,
I never saw a garment to fine for man or
maid; there never was a chair too good for a
cobbler or a cooper or a king to sit in j never a
house too fine to shelter a human head. These
elements about us, the glorious sky, tho im
perial sun, are not too good for the human
race. Kleirance fits man. Hut do wo not
value these tools a little more than they are
worth and sometimes mortgage a house for
the mahogany we bring into it? I had rather
eat my dinner off the head of a Jarre!, or
dress after the fashion of John the llaptist
in tho wilderness, or sit on a block all my life,
than consume all myself before I got to a
home, and take so much pains with the out
side tliat the inside was as hollow as an empty
nut. Beauty is a great thing, but beauty of
garment, house and furuituro'are tawdry orna
ments compared with domestio love. All the
elegance in the world will not make a home,
and I would give more for a spoonful of real
hearty love than for whole ship-loads of furni
ture and all the gorgeousness all the up
holsterers in tlio world can gather.

OUR LETTER BOX
Wo nro glad to givo you more than one let
ter this week, for last week there was but ono
for this column, and wo began to feel quito
discouraged, fearing that tho little folks had
lost interest ia letter writing, though I believe
they all liko to read tho letters that aro print
ed. That is rather selfish, too, for each of
you who enjoy tho loiter column ought to Im
willing to contribute, so that others may en
joy your ieitcrs. It is quito an Accomplish
ment to writo a good letter, and it is only by
practico that ono is ablo.to write easily and
pleasantly. This is tho reason why wo en
courago tho young folks of tho Homo Circlo to
writo often. In writing, you must endeavor
to do your best each time, trying to do a lit
tlo better as you writo again. Tho spelling
should bo carefully looked after, and if you
are in doubt about a word ask somo older per
son, or consult the dictionary, for this is tho
moat important thing in writing. Tho writ
ing and composition may bo dillicult, but If
words ore spelled wrong, It looks much worse.
There is too little attention paid by teachers
to this very important question. Wo givo
you some good letters this week, ono, though,
Is from an older person, but will give it a
placo in our column, with its ncipo for pud
ding, which, no doubt, is excellent.

Please exense personal allusions, but be kind

SELF CONTROL IN SOCIETY.
(lood breeding gives us certain definite
rules, and while these aro observed, society is
possible, else it disintegrate. Hut wo may,
without .losing self .respect, uxcrciso a vast
self-control, and not show that we distrust
people, nor that we vastly liko them; wo need
not wear our hearts ou our slcovcs tor daws to
peck at. Members of tho samo family should
never quarrel In public. This Is often dono
by two sisters of uncertain tempers, and tho
crowd laughs. Tho French havo a proverb
aliout this, perhaps too well known to be
ijuotcd. .
Never show that you feel a slight. This is
worldly wise as well as Christian, for no ono
but n mean person will put a slight upon an
other, and such a person always profoundly
respects tho person who is unconscious of his
fceblo spite. Never resent publicly a lack of
courtesy. It Is in tho worst taste. What
you do privately sltout dropping such an ac
quaintance must bo left to yourself.
To a person of noblo mind tho contests of
society must over scorn poor and furious as
they think of thoso narrow enmities and low
political (maneuvers, but we know that they
exist nml that wo must meet them. Temper,
detraction aud small spite aro as vulgar ou a
Turkey carpet aud in a palace as they could
bo in a tenement house; nay, worse, for the
educated contestants know better. Hut that
thoy exist we know as well as wo know that
tho diphtheria rogee. JWmust only.rellect
philosophically tlfatjt take all sorU of peo
ple to make a world) that tin ro aro good two-
pie. rank and fllei that there a valiant arm V
and a n'oblo navy; that there aro also pirates
who will board the best ships, and traitors in
ovcry army, and that wo must bo ready for
them all; and that if womo in a crowd wu
must propitiate that crowd.
Never show a factious or peremptory irrita
bility in small things. Ho patient if a friend
keeps you waiting. Hear, as long as you can,
heat or draught, rather than make others
uncomfortable. Do not bo fussy about your
supposed rights; yield a disputed point of
precedence. All society has to lo made up of
theso concessions; they are your unnumbered
friends in tho long run.
Wo aro not always wrong when we, quarrel;
but if wo meet our deadliest foe at a friend's
house wo aro IkuiiuI to treat him with per-fe-ct
civility. That is neutral ground, Never,
by word or look, disturb your hostess; this is
an occasional duplicity which is ordered by
thu laws of society. And, in all hoiuity, cul
tivate a graceful salutation, not to familiar, iu
a crowd. Do not kiss your friend inn crowd;
In grave and decorous always, Hurko said
that manners wcro more important than laws.
"Manners are what vox or soothe, comfort or
purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or rrfino us
by constant, steady, uniform, iuseusibio oper
ation, like the air wo breath."
A salutation may havo Agroat deal of mean
ing in it. It may say "1 respect ou, and I
wish you well." It may say, "I love you," it
it may say, "I hate you." Iu a crowd it
should simply say thu first. The bow of a
young lady should Ihj maidenly, quiet, not
too demonstrative; yet lint cold or forbidding.
The salutation of u man too woman cannot be
too respectful. It is to bo feared that "old-
fashioned courtesy" has no placo iu our fash
ionable society. There is either coldness or
too gi eat familiarity.
The manners of young women are apt to be
too careless. They emulate the maiinsr of
men of thu age too much, not remembering
that thoy should carry in their gvutln ways
the good manners of all ages. She should re
member that wheu a women's salutation
ceases to be delicate, elegant and finished she
steps down from her throne aud tluows away
her scepter, There is no salutation, however,
more displeasing than that of a too clllorta
cent and flattering subacrvancy. "He bows
too low," should never be said. Avoid being
a snob, in private, as in a crowd. American

It is light that children should have their
own pocket money a certain allowance over
which they should have a complete control
but if thuy can earn what they spend by
s line employment brought forward for tho pur
pose, so much the better. It is the misfor
tune of children brought up by rich parents
that they have uo sort of conception of t.'.s
value of money. Its want does not teach
them foresight, sagacity, forbearance; self-
denial. Tho child has a piece of money, and
his only idea is to spend it promptly, but if
lie earned that money ho would not be iu
such a hurry to rid himself of it. New Kng
