The feminine world, or those who aro able to command time, leisure and money, aro now crazy over the various kinds of handiwork all included under the title of Decorative Art Painting in wator color oil satin or silk then there is embroidery of all sorts, kinds and styles on goods of expensive kinds, and also of goo. Is that are iu the reach of ordinary peo ple. All of this is intended for housu decora tion) a revival of the old-fashioned way in which ladies in ollcn times used to employ their leisure. Everything is copied now from the time of our grandmothers! old fashions are being revised; garrets are being ransacked for old china and old furniture. The mania for needle work is sensible in that it gives tl.eso fashiooablu women something to do, that not only employs the hands, but gives play to the mind and taste. Very much of this fashion able fancy work is within the means of all of us. As the material used is reasonable and easily procured, we cannot instruct our read ers intelligently in so little space ; but " Har per's Ilazar" has many excellent designs, and we would advise our friends to club together and get this magazine, as it also has the best and most common tensed hints and descrip tions of styles iu dressmaking with excellent patterns that can bo traced snd cut out with a little care. A home is benef.ted with those articles of handiwork; be.ides giving the workers a chance to develop a taste for art. Knitting and crocheting coma under this head, and we are glad to find that some have used our last directions in this line. If we find it acceptable, we will endeavor to give such ideas as we can within our little space much taste can be displayed in curtains and lamberrjuins for windows. Tho drapery across the top is called lambenjuius, and is often dow made of colored cotton flanuel, which now comes in all colors; it hangs gracefully and is very pretty in red, ttimmed with a band of old gold of the same goods. It costs but little, and is really quite handsome. It is cut with some fullness tho goods hanging lower at the ends, being cut in wide deep scallops or in cloth can be made very beauti ful by cutting out; those beautiful, large, gay flowers and figures to be found in a heavy kind of cotton goods, called "cretonne." Those flowers are cut carefully, and then basted in the comers and center squares as taste may dictate. We would be glad to send patterns to any one who does not catch the idea. The drapery next tho window may be of lace or muslin. Table spreads, of a square of double, lades neatly, after which the edge are "button-hole" stretched into the goods, with a coarse embroider) silk, which comes shaded. A great deal of taste is displayed pn some of these tabl sj reads, and with little expense, too, the spreads for standi are made long more like a scarf -and are included only in tho ends; arc often inndo of common linen clash, tlio ends hcrti fringed oiil'nnd tied and knotted prettily. Ittissiau toweling is used ns the basis for tidies, spreads, etc. Tidies nre now mndu very largo, sons to butttr protect tho chairs. Ho suro and pin them on, tight with safety pins, for we do dislike to keep picking up the tidies nud putting iu place, mid how ag gravated the gentlemen are to find them cling ing to their shoulders continually. BREAKFABT O, how many times havo wc huiuidly got up In tho morning n little, belated, and, while making our hasty'toilet, spoko aloud without thinking "what shall I get for breakfast." Sumo thoughtful man has said of women that they must havo tho tactics of it general to lie nble to marshal out Unco t'lnes, llli.'i meals, Iu tho com no of n year, he-ides training tho infantry. Hu was right, but to mi sub ject. Come what 'ill if the heavens fall break fast must Ik! gut nud that's quick, too. It's n n good plan to havo n'supply of cold potatoes on hand, for they m o one of thu staples, mid nro quickly warmed up. " J'ccl and slluo cold potatoes, first putting in the pari some butter or nice frying rover, but do.not let them fry but n triilc. Just lieforo taklnp up, break iu four or li'vo eggs, stir quickly, not letting tho egg get too much cooked, nml tako up Ininio dintely into a hot dis'i to the taffe. If there is no meit, this dish will tako thu place of it to romo extent. A littlo cold chopped ham I good; added to it. Wo hink at our house that thoso "made dishes" of cold scraps left from dinner is better than if cooked out of "whole cloth." If the bread is dry, or only medium good, havo two pans on tho stove, so as to fry quick and put sweet drippings or butter in tho pans; then dip slices of tho bread, cut rather thick into milk and fry. It is quickly done, and must be turned before it scorches. It takes plenty of butter, but it is very nice; wa ter may be used instead of milk, or if a couple Of eggs is beaten in the milk it is better still. This is easier made than toast, and is hartier for tho workiugmen. Cold bacon or ham cut into slicu with cold potatoes fried brown, with a few eggs broken iu at the last moment, is a dish handy and quickly got up. Oatsncal mush is almost indispensable nt the breakfast table, new or dry. Hut iu a farmer's family it must be cooked somewhat tho day before, for It, needs long, thorough cooking to bu healthy and palatable. It is most excellent fried when there is any "leftover," it would bo superfluous to say that fried corn meal mush was nice, for that old-fashioned dish when nicely browned, with plenty of muplo syrup on it, is just splendid. Codfish, if soaked over right, makes a nico breakfast dish when pick rd (lno. With a quantity of milk, Hour and ezgs, poured over slices of bread; the fish when mixed with potatoes and fried In balls, is -almost as good as fried mush, but most Western people do not like the smell of the codfish, and, I think, as a littlo Missouri boy did who once staid all night nt our house, that the fish was "spoilt." liaised pancakes aro healthier than when mado of soda and sour milk; bread crumbs and old crusts are good, soaked iu milk and added beforo baking. Itcmiiants of cold meats and fowls aro quickly hashed up, snd when seasoned, if put on slices of bread, are relished Potatoes are always better if cooked with skins on ; they will not break to pieces much if a handful of salt lo put in the water. Ham and eggs are always a good bresk fast dish, but there are only two hams to one hog; and mo of us all feel obliged to scud tho hams to market, and cat the shoulders ami sido meat. While being so far from market, thero omi bo but littlo variety in tho bill of fare; so it needs tlipught to get up a meal tn relish. It is well to havo a kit of salt salmon, though ono does not care for it oftcuer than once in two weeks. If any is. left cold it is nico hashed with potatoes and milk or cream, or it is good with vinegar over it a few days. Fritters aro excellent, but too rich for the children. Where lard is plenty, they can be made to serve as a dessert for dinner and eat' en with syrup we confess to liking them very much, but can t say tney are healthy. Aunt Hutu. CHOICE BECIPE8. Pkkskkvinu Bonn in I.l uk. In packing eggs away in lime, the lime may bo prepared in any convenient way, but it should be at least as thick as whitewash that is used for walls; that is, as whitn as milk, and somewhat thicker. This Is called cream of lime, and not lime water. Tlio fresher tho eggs the better they are kept. One bad e;g will spoil a whole package, so that care should be taken to have only fresh ones. The lime will not eat the shell, for the shell is lime. Half barrels, pails, jars, or anything that will hold water, will serve to hold the eggs. Any kind of lime will ilo. Lkmos I'll!. Lightly grate the rind of one lemon, squeeze out the juice, and remove all seeds; beat the yolks of three eggs and the white of one with a teacupful of sugar; add a heaping teaspoonful of flour and half a pint of water; mix with the grated rind and juice; pour into a pio plate ready lined with a deli cate paste, and Lake without cover. Beat the the remaining two whites with half a cunful of white augsr to a very still" froth, and spread over the pie when done, Iteturn it to the oven until a delicate brown. Ciikai- Vi.snun. A friend has recently given mo her method of making vinegar,which I like so well I thought some one else might like to try it. She ssid that last Fall, being unable to buy her yiars supply of eider for vinegar, she stewed some apple parings, and turning oil" the water, ulded a little molasses, and set it iu a jug beside the kitchen stove pipe. While this was "making" (five or six weeks,) she procured another jug and turned into that auvthing that would make vinegar cold tea, rinsings of fruit cans and moUtses cups, and occasionally a lump of sugar or spoonful of syrup. When using from the first jug, she kept it full from the other. .She fi nally placet) a saiall jar in her pantry, which receives me increments ursi, wnicu are ait'.r wards turned into one jut' and then tho other. In this way sho has had good sharp viuesrar all Winter, while the cost was meitly iioui-ins), ' 4f0l $lt tM,l'reil- BELL-COUNTS HER CHICKEKB.

OUR LETTEIt BOX We have only two letters left over this timo for next week, but we have faith that sonio of our correspondents will think ol the Homo Circle, and that there will In- plenty moro by tho time they are wanted, ftr the week after. This boy writes a good hand and answers a question, which shows that ho krows somo of the arts of politeness. Much moro might bo said by others of tho charactir of Washington, and it would bo well if every boy would read sketches of his life; it is a good idea to read biographies of all yood men as it can not but lenvo a good impression on the mind of the render, who insensibly tries to imitate. If boys read about pirates, stories and bad men, they would naturally be giu to think it was smart to break the laws of the country and tho mind would become de prived, only needing the opportunity to try the very things ho reads about. "The lives of great men nil remind us, that wo may mako our lives sublime, and departing Itnvt liehlnd us footprints in tho sands of time- footsteps which perhaps another seeing may take lirart ajjuin." This verso, by Longfellow, is so often quoted, that it will bear repeating, and every boy should commit this poem to memory. Kmma, who is quite a regular cor respondent, tells us all about homo affairs, and wo expect she must be quite a good housekeeper by this time, as her mother it sick sho will havo to tako charge of many things. A little girl may bu a great comfuit to her mother if sho only has tho desiro to lie useful all of which experience will bo great help when she gets older. Thur ! nothing that can !o a greater credit to a girl than to say sho is kind, self-sacrificing, and a good house keeper. Wo do not remember that we said anything about the way Albeit feeds the calves, but wo would liko to hear him tell how he docs feed them, and tho best way, in his experience and opinion in raising tho calves, ho wniild bo able to write us a goo long let ter on this subject and we shall look for a letter beforo loin;. Wc do not think it is right to break calves oil" either, but we think they ought to havo half of the milk. The Chinese do not use milk, because they say it is wicked to take it, as it rightfully belongs to tho calf. They work cows as wo do oxen, Mavgio must not forget to tell aliout her first trip on tho cars. Aunt Hetty remembers her first trip, it was on tho first bit of railroad in the Unitul States, from Lockport to Schcnec taday, iu New York tat, more than fifty years ago. The cars were small, looking like an old fashioned stage, holding about six per sons, ami the engine was a little affair by the side of the beautiful ones wo now see glisten ing with clcau kept braises, and we did not spin along as fast either. Only forty years has passed, and the whole earth is spanned with railroads, while America is a net work of railroads, with some beautiful palace cars, that aro like parlors in a house. And tho woman writes a nice long leeter that needs only to lie read to lc appreciated, and we hope she will write frequently. Aunt Hetty. Koskuuiui, Or., Juno l'J, 1831, Kditor Homo Circlet It was with a feeling of glad surprise and not a little pride that I found you had so gra ciously admitted me a member of your charm ing circle, and I will endeavor 'to make myself as agreeable as possible. It was at the request of a very dear friend that I wrote my first let ter, who, I doubt not, thought I ouht not to neglect so admirable an opportunity of im proving myself in writing and composing oth erwise, X (ear I should never nave written a line, being somewhat like the Pink Herr in my brother's Christinas Ixwk, who only said 1 "Pra la la she was such a lazy thing." 1 he beautiful green of the oak trees, of which I wrote with so much prido in my last letter, have undertone a most painful transformation since then caused by the ravages of an insect of somo kind.

"Dear me," she ssid to herself "I don't believo them's anything iu 'em at all." Hut by nud by what do you think? She tho'ight sho heard something, So shu crooked her bend to one sidu and listened as hard could, and suro enough shu heard n chicken say "pccp"righi under her. "Perhaps there's moro than only one,'' said the old hen to herself. "I guess I'll just get up ami look." And as true as I'm nlivu thetu wero ten yellow chickens that had just nibbled nut of tho shells. Did I say ten yel low chickens. Well there were ten, but one wasn't all yellow by any means. She hul is black spot right on tho top of her head and sho was the littlest chicken of thorn all. You see- tho old lieu had her nest iu tho cellar, and as tho chickens scorned to be very hungry, out shu started with them. When she got to the back yard she found a worm tho very first thing. So she said "Cluck, cluck, cluck," and thu way that ten pair of little yellow legs with chickens on top of cm ran up to her was very remarkable in deed. Hut you seu there wasn't another worm iu that back yard. Anyway tho old hen couldn't find any more there, nnd so she started for a big field back of tho house. Now do you know tho grass iu that field was tremendously high, so tremendously high that it was just as much as tho old lieu could do to see over the top; and as for the chickens they couldn't begin to do it, so they kept close to their mother's long legs all tho time that is, all but one did, and which ono do you suppose that was? hy the littlest bit of a one with the black spot on the top of her head. She saw a fly, and as shu was very hungry in deed, shu thought she would havu that fly for dinner right away, Hut did she? No, she didn't, the little dy wouldn't stand still to be eaten, like a good little fly, but hopped away to another blade of grass; and when the little chicken gave it up, why she couldn't find her mother any where at all. There was lots of blue sky vny over head, and nothing but high, high grass all around, Poor little chicken! Do you suppose shu knew what to do? Not a bit of it, acil though shu cried, "Peep, peep, peep," very loud the old lieu didn t como. She had nine chickens with her, and irt- haps she didn't know how to count up to ten, ami thought she had all her children theru. Well, when that poor little lost chicken hail been cryintf for a long time, shu heard some thing coming through the grass, and what do you s'poso it was u big black dog, You ought to havu seen that big black dog look at that little yellow thicken, and thu chicken was just as afr-iid at first as he could be. , "What's tho matter hero?" said the big black dog. "I can't find my mother," answered the littlo chicken iu n very soft voice. So tho dog looked around, and ho was so tall ho could sco over tut- top of tho grass just M well ns not. "I can sco her," said tlieil-g, "nnd there's lots of chickens jttt. liko you," . 'Aro they very fnr nwny?" risked the chicken. Tho big dog looked, and then hn said they were, nnd then the littlo chicken begun to cry. "Now don't you begin to cry," said tho big black dog, so thu little chn-keu stopped right otr. "You've got such littlo legs," said thu dog, "that 1 guess I'll havo to carry you on my back. So ho got way down mi tho ground, nnd thu littlo yellow chicken climbed carefully on tho big dog's paw nud then slowly up his leg till ho could jump on his hack. "Now you hold on tight nud I'll get up," said the big black dog. "I'iii not n bit afraid," said tho chicken. "Pooh! no one's nfrnid of me," said tho big black dog, ns ho wnlkcd nwny very carefully through tho long irrass. Hy nnd by tho littlo chicken heard tho old hen saying, "Cluck, cluck, cluck," nnd then sho knew sho was nil safe. "How do you do, Mrs. Hen," said tho big black dog as ho came up; "have you lost any thing? Where's tho littlo chicken with the black spot on her head?" "Why, goodness mo!" said tho old hen, "I don't sto her anywhere." Then tho big black -'og got dow n ogaln and tho littlo chicken jumped off hU bock mid kissed tho old lieu n lot of times without stopping, nnd ss for thnt dear black do?, ho ran to the housu whero the littlo girl lives, and had two saucers brimming full of bread and milk, because it was lunch time, you Know, Farm For Hale -Clieap.
