MRS HARRIOT T. CLARKE, Editor
BEST.
My feet aro wearied, and my hands ro tied
My toul oppressed
And I desire, what I havo Ions desired
Rett only reit.
Til hard to toil, whoa toil if almost vain,
In barren ways;
'Til bard to tow, an I narer garner Rrain,
In harToat dayi.
Tho burden of my dayi it hard to bear,
Bat God know boat;
And I have prayed, but vain hai been my
prayer,
For rest street rest.
Its hard to plant in Spring and norer reap
The Autumn yield;
Til hard to till, and whon 'tis tilled to weep
O'er fruitless field.
And so I cry a woatc and human cry,
So heart oppressed;
And so I sigh a weak and human sigh,
For rest for rest.
My way has wound across the desert years,
And cares infest
My path, and through the flowingof hot tears
I pine for rest.
Twas always so; when but a child I laid
On mother's breast
My wearied little head, e'en then I prayed,
As now, for rest.
And 1 am restless; 'twill soon be o'er;
For, down the west.
Life's sun Is setting, and I aee the shore
Where I shall rest.
Fhtfytr Ryan,
Food and Drink In One.
Thoro is Bomobody nt our homo who
boa lived for a long timo on liquid food.
Wcro I to put down in blnck and white
tho details of her malady, tho long story
of her physical privations and difllcnl
tics, it would mtiko a morbidly harrow
ing talo. PorlupB unavoidable) suffering,
liko this, is best forgotten, buf thero ro
mains a kcrnol of cxpcricnco which is
worth keeping tho ovidenco of tho fact
that liquid food will support lifo indonfl
nitcly, nnd supply such a measuro of
Btrongth as has enabled ono woman
(and sho not naturally very robust) to
go on with her work in a modorato but
fairly efficient fashion for many years.
Ono of tho objections to this combi
nation of food and drink, as a penna
noncy, is tho lack of that variety which
has so much to do with making food
acceptable Ono has to keep up n con
tinual search for variations.
It is not a diet which any ono would
accept from choico, that is certain. But
it is tho unoxpoctcd which happons.
Gunshot wounds, locul inflammation,
eovoro accident in many a form, como
whero thoy aro least expected. Then
there aro times, us with mining mothers,
whon liquid food, though not absolutely
necessary, is highly valunblo. Its roal
importance, in such situations, is doubt-
loss, underrated. Thoro aro other cases,
as in extreme prostration after sovoro
illness or loss of blood, or in prolonged
weakness from chronic discaso, whon
tho preservation of lifo doponds imme
diately upon it. Whut need thou of
tact and skill in preparing and adminis
tering a condensed and easily assimilated
nourishment! No wifo and mother is fully
prepared for her work without a
thorough knowlcdgo of tho possibilities
of liquid food. It is, with justico, re
quired us an indispensably part of tho
training of tho pofessional nurse.
Whcuover drinkable food is a matter
of serious importance, milk and beef tea
aro likely to bo tho main reliance
Physicians now givo milk in almost all
coses, and a small addition of limo water
(a teaspoonful to a half pint) will
rendor it acccptablo in most of thoso
casofl whero it is found to disagree.
Good beef tea may bo mado in soveral
ways ; ono of tho easiest and best is to
cut tho beef fino, and put it in a tightly
covered dish or basin, and sot it in a
moderate oven for fifteen or twenty
minutes. If needed very strong, add no
water. Cover with water and season
well upon taking up, and it will make a
very good beef tea. In critical coses,
tho beef, chopped and placed in a bowl
or soup plate under a layer of cracked
ice, will furnish iced beef tea almost at
once. This will somctimes.bo assimilated,
a few drop at a timo, when every other
form of food is rejected. With conva
lescents, tho beef tea may be varied
agreeably by browning tho beef quickly
in a pan with a little butter, then add
ing a small cup of water and setting the
pan back to stand a few rninntoa in a
modorately hot place,-after cutting the
meat in every direction to' release tho
juice.
Both chicken and lamb make ex
cellent broths. A full grown fowl is
best for chicken broth. Joint it up
email, cutting the back and breast each
into four pioccs, add thrco pints of cold
water to a small fowl, and put it on tho
back of tho otovo. Stir it occasionally,
and lot it simmer until tho flosh drops
from tho bones. Strain olTovcry drop of
tho broth and put it away to cool. It will
mako a firm jolly from which any fat
muBt bo scraped pff with a knife. It
may be seasoned und varied in many
ways to tempt tho palate. Celory salt
heightens tho flavor, and is goncrally
liked. Orcammakos it still better. Rico
or macaroni cookod separately may bo
addod for varioty, or toast cut in dice.
Tomatoos, poos or sweet corn aro very
good with chicken broth. If tho broth
ia roquired clear, thoy may bo carefully
cooked separately, a little rich milk or
cream added when tender, and this
delicato vegotablo sauco strained into
tbo broth.
Tho neck and leg bones of lamb mako
a very nico nourshing broth. It may
bo mado oxnetly liko chicken broth, but
it will bear a varioty of vegetables,
which may bo cooked with it, putting
them in whon tho meat begins to get
tondcr. Grcon peas aro specially good.
Chocolato may fairly bo called food
drink. Broma is an oxccllont prepara
tion for invalid use, digestible, nutritious
and convoniont. Mado wholly with milk,
it may bo considered a comploto food.
It can bo taken through a glass tube,
without raising tho head from the
pillow, and in a caso of critical danger,
tho patient's lifo may depend upon it. In
such a case, within tho personal know
lcdgo of tho writer, it was given ns often
as onno in two hours for sovoral days
nnd nights. It is easily assimilated and
soothing, rathor than oxciting, to tho
norvos.
Tea and coffoo, although habit some
time's makos them almost indesponslblo,
aro of less valuo as food. It is truo that
ono may do a good deal of work upon
cofleo, but it is, probably, at a sovcro cost
to tho systoni. It is moro useful to tho
nurse than to tho pationt. In aa emer
gency, when ovory power is at its ut
most strain, strong coffou is an invalu
able stimulant. Itccuporation must como
later.
Oytcrs and clams, mushrooms, and
thosucoulont vogotablos, aro all good
articles of diet to thoso who have to de
pond upon broths and liquids. Any
thing salient, which gives a dedided
change, bocomes precious.
Eggs, with their numberless modes of
cooking, como next in importanco to
milk and meat. Custards and . plain
puddings of the various ccroals tapioca,
sago, otc. aro so simplo and nutritious,
as to bo valuablo food for tho delicato
eater, and we must not forget that sugar
bus, in itsolf, no littlo valuo. If tlicro
is any mechanical difllculty in swallow
ing, these should bo lightly baked, nnd
thou bo mado almost fluid. Over-baking
makes almost any preparation with milk
and eggs tough and stingy.
Tliero aro various patent foods and
special preparations of grains that aro of
very consldcrablo nutritive importanco,
and aro easily swallowod and assimilat
ed. Thoso of tho Health Food Company
aro especially excellent, und will bo
prized in almost any family by both sick
and well. Gluten, their patent prepara
tion of wheat, i'b especially valuablo for
its cfl'ect upon the bowels, the regulation
of which, In morbid conditions of the
system, is so difficult and so important.
A daily bowl of gluten, which may bo
mado extremely palatablo with milk,
with or without eggs and sugar, is
better than any medicine.
Various small things, that wo hardly
considor for their food vnluc, also tako
on a new importanco in tho oyes of an
invalid hampered in this way. Bonbons,
ices and creams, fruit jellies, anddessorts
prepared from gelatino, aro no longor
mere luxuries. Thoy aro seriously con
sidered now as helping to mako up tho
aggregate of fuel for tho flamo of lifo. It
is whon common blossings depart, that
wo know how good thoy aro I

CHOICE RECIPES.
Feather Pudding. Ttirco oggs, two
and ono-lialf cups of sugar, a picco of
butter tho size of an egg, two cups of
sour buttermilk, ono teaspoonful of soda,
flour enough to make a thick batter,
flavor with lemon or nutmog. Mako
sauco of sugar and butter, aud flavor
with lemon. Add a pinch of salt with
pudding.
How to Cook Vegetables. Potatooj
and many other , vegetables aro much
nicer steamed than boilod. It is a com
mon idea that it requires no skill to
cook vegetables ; but many a dinner is
spoiled by neglect in this department. I
Cook them till done, Bcason well, uso j
plenty of butter, and serve .them hot If
you wish them to be good. In order to
boil vcgotablos of a good gruon color,
put them on in boiling water and boil
very fast; do not cover thorn, aud tako
them out as soon ns dono or tho color
will change. To boil them grcon in
hard water, uso a littlo carbonate of
soda; put into tho water beforo tho veg
etables aro put in. The Homo Farm.
Onions for Croup. A. lady who Bpoaks
from oxporionco says that probably nino
children out of ton who dio of croup
might bo saved by timely application
of roast onions, mnshod, laid upon a
folded napkin and goose oil, sweet oil,
or evon lard, pourod on and npplied as
warm as can bo homo comfortably to
tho throat and upper part of tho chest
nnd to feet and hands. Tho groat thing
is to apply tho remedy in timo.
How to Clean Oilcloths. To ruin
them clean them with hot wator or
soap suds, and loavo them half wiped,
and thoy will look very bright whilo
wet, and very dingy and dirty whou dry,
and soon crack nnd pocl ofT. Hut, if
you wish to presorvo them and hnvo
thorn look now and nice, wash them
with soft flannel and luko warm water,
and wipo thoroughly dry. If you wish
thorn to look oxtra nice, after thoy aro
dry drop a fow spoonfuls of milk over
them and rub with a dry cloth.
Cheap Fruit Cako. Very nico and
long-keeping cako can ho mado cheaply
by substituting candled apples and hick
ory nut moaU in placo of citron and
Zanto currants, raisins, etc. To pro
paro tho apples, tako lough sour apples,
pare and coro, cut in half quarters, lot
them soak in maplo syrup twolvo hours,
thon put them over n slow flro to Blow
or aimmor not boil till thoy look clear
and amber colorod ; then lay tho pieces
thoy ought to bo wholo, that is, not
stowed to pieces on a plate, sprlnklo
thorn with sugar thickly and dry them.
For cako, tako ono pound of candled ap
ples, n cup of hickory nut meats, and
fivo ounces of salt fat pork, chop fino;
add to It ono cup of maplo syrup, ono
cup of sugar, yelks of throo eggs; splccB
cinnamon, nutmeg and nllspico a
teaspoonful of ouch ; ono teaspoonful of
soda dissolved in water; flour onough
to mako a stifT batter.
Slang Among Young a Iris.
I havo a few vordi to say about tho
Immodcrato uso of slang among young
girls. I think that somo of tho new
coined words of tho prcsont day express
a great deal moro forcibly certain asser
tions than tho plain, simplo KugliBh
words would. Hut what I objoct to is
tho uso of tho words that have scarcvly
any connection with tho subject being
spoken of. It is amazing to hear grown
womon who havo bcon brought up well
using what I call vulgar laugungo ; but
as it is used so very commonly no ono
seems to think anything nbout it, un
less their oars aro extremely sensitive to
such words. I havo rocontly heard of n
club formed by littlo gitls from 10 to 11
years old to break themselves of using
any slang whatever. Thoso tmuiu littlo
girlB belong to extremely conxciuntiou.
Christian families, aud I was rather in
tonishtd tlmt thoy should need such
discipline; but they uro carrying it bo far
as to question whether hollo should not
1h enst out, as thoy claimed it was just
as easy when they naw each otlier to
say good morning or Homo such address.
Tho puulshmout thoy inflict upon thorn
selves is to put a black bead on it string
for every word thoy catch themselves
using and wear tho string, too. Now,
wouldn't it bo quite a good idea for any
of tho family to form a club, cither of
grown folks or young girls, or both, and
impo.to a fino on cvory word used, and
take tho sum nt a stated timo and uso it
for somo charitablo purposo? I know
it would be quito humiliating to many
of us to find whon watching or being
watchod for ovory slang word or phraeo
what a vory immoderato uso wo make
of them. I think In conversing we un
thinkingly uso somo of no meaning at
all. It is strango that a person who usos
considerable slang in talking rarely uses
any when writing. I really think if wo
only thought about what wo aro about
to say wo would bo a little moro careful
of our choico of words. Cleveland Plain

tho results of the most intelligent study
and scientillo inquiry been so steadily
and progressively utilized as in Ayer's
Sarsapari'la. It leads tho list as a truly
scientific preparation for all blood dia-

Bad Breath

ulator. It is particularly adapted to the

foul gases and allaying inllunimutioti.
Take, after eating, a balMeatpoonful, it

perfect digestion, without which bad
broath mutt ensue.

A FISH STORY.
A whale of great porpoaity
And small specific gravity,
Dived down with much velocity
Beneath the sea's concavity.
But soon the weight of waters
Squeczod in his fat immensity,
Whloh varied as it ought to
Inversely aa his density.
It would havo moved to pity
An Ogre or a Hessian,
To see poor Spermaceti
Thus suffering compression.
The while ho lay a. roaring
In agonies gigantic,
The lamp oil out oamo pouring
And greased the wide Atlantic,
(Would we had boon in the navy,
And cruising there! Imagine us
All in a sea of gravy,
With billow oleaginous.)
At length old million-pounder
Low in a bed of coral,
Oave his last dying flounder,
Whereto I pen this moralt
MonAU
0 lot this talo dramatio
Aneot this whale Norwegian
And pressures hydrostatio
Warn you, my young collegian,
That down compelling forces
Increase as you get deeper;
The lower down your courso it,
The upward path's the steeper.

OUR LETTER BOX.
Aunt Hetty wonders if tho girls havo
forgotten her or if thoy aro so busy at
work and play that they havo no timo
to glvo to tho Circle No ono can blamo
our young folks for spending inuoh
timo out in tho beautiful Holds, but iiltor
this littlo reminder wo shall. oxpoct to
got a box full of letters, all tbo better
for having had a littlo rest, and wo aro
suro many havo missed tho cheerful lit
tlo letters during tho past two wooks
Aunt Hetty has missed them, and so
havo somo other oldor ones, who lovo to
live youth ovor again in this way. "Tho
Old Hoy" is ono of thoBc who novor in
tends to grow old in heart and soul.
Where is our littlo "chicken" girl, who
promised to lot us know all about hor
luck in raising somo, and how it was
best dono.
Happy Valley owns a dear littlo girl,
who sends a very good letter. Tho littlo
story about tho birds is interesting.
How pleasant to wntoh tho habits aud
actions of animals, especially of birds.
Thoro aro somo kinds of birds whonovcr
do build nests, but who go about steal
ing tho work of somo moro industrious
birds; somotimos hard battles aro fought.
Wo onco watched some bluebirds driv
ing out littlo wreus from tho oves of our
house Oh! but tho feathers flow, but
tho dear littlo wrens kept their littlo
homo, aud would sing so Bwoetly ovory
morning about 3 o'clock. Kvery yoar
for a doon years thoro has boon these
Bamo sweet songsters there, and wo can
not help but think thoy are tho same
family. Last full, for some reason, the
lost brood of littlo ones scorned to como
out late ;ull tho other birds hud taken
flight to some warmer climes, und this
pair staid to see their littlo ones
got able to fly. Tho father nnd mother
bird seemed to bo very iwixioui and wor
riedfinally ono day four littlo birds
canio down from tho eves nnd sat on
tho clothos lino, all in a row ; tho rain
fell, and thoy looked forlorn and pitiful.
Papa and mamma bird got ono on oach
sldo and spread their loving wings as
far as possiblo over tho littlo ones; next
morning tho cat got one, and tho rest
got Into a tree, whero for soveral days
tho old birds wero kept busy enough fill
ing tho littlo mouths that wero always
opon. Oh I how anxious and worried
these parents seemed flying about
seeming to bo trying to cucourago tho
littlo ones to learn to fly quickly ; thoy
chatted and scolded and coaxed them
from clothes lino to tree. Thoy acted
as if thoy knew thoy had a sympathizing
friend in Aunt Hetty, Finally at tho
first sunny day all took u southerly
flight, and wo will warrant tho next
year mamma wreu planned better and
had her family ready to fly whon tho
rest of tho neighbor wrons got ready to
go. Francis must give another of his
good lettors soon.
