Translated by Bayard Taylor from the Alio.
mannia German dialect of John Foter Ilebel.
D'ye know the road to th' bar'l of flour t
At break o' day let down the ban,
And plow your wheat Geld hoar by hour
Till aundown yes, till ahlue of stare.
Yon peg away tho live long day,
Nor loaf about nor gape around:
And that'a tho rjtd to the threihln' floor,
And into the kitchen, I'll be bound 1
D'yo know tho road where the dollars are?
Follow the red cent here and there
For, if a man lcavei them, I guoii
He won't find dollar everywhere.
D'yo know the road to Hunday'a roat?
Jilt don't of wook daya bo afecred j
In field and workshop do y'r beat,
And Sunday oomca itaolf, I've heered.
D'ye know what road to honor lcada ?
And good old age? a lovely alght I
By way o' temporanco, honeat deodi, -
And tryin' to do y'r dooty right.
And when tho roads fork airy aido,
And you're in doubt which one it it,
Stand atlll and lot y'r conscience guide;
Thank God, it can't lead muoh amlsal
Go, fearin' God, but lovln' more I
I'vo tried to bo an boneat guide,
You And the gravo haa got a door,
And somethiu' for you on t'toher aide
Every Man For Blmieir.
"Every man must work out Ills own
fittlvntion." Thio quotation lias no nar
row, onc-idoa meaning; it is illimitablo
in tho possibility of its application.
It is a voico of command, of ndvico,
of comfoxt to ovory human bolngjit is
as much for tho housowifo as for tho
houscband (tho original of tho word
husband) ; as much for tho sons and
daughters us for tho paronts.
It is nob saying thut no ono can help'
another, far from it. It is n Ohristianly
privilcgo to aid all within our radius;
to bo truly worthy of tho titlo "a help
ful person," is to bo worthy of tho res
pect and admiration of tho human
family.
Tho proverb is a rcbuko to tho Bar
naclo and Spongo family, to their rela
tives, tho Lcancrs, tho Olingors and
that largo branch of tho family that aro
always waiting for Bomothing to turn
up, or watching to eco which ot their
frionds is going to find thorn a job or
furnish capital to "sot thorn up," as
thoir chronio condition is a stato of wait
ing to bo "sot up."
Tho idort of working and earning
their own capital novcr strikes thorn
favorably ; yet tho man who begins at
tho bottom o( tho ladder, learning thus
each branoh of a business thoroughly,
and by strict economy learning tho
valuo of a dollar saved and that it is
worth thrco spent, is tho man that will
build up tho fortunes of his family.
Truly every ono must work out their
own success. Look at tho fow success
ful morchanis that tho country boasts;
did thoy loam tho very rudimonts of
thoir business around tho baso of tho
laddor? Did thoy work hard and long
boforo thoy could bo said to havo beon
ablo to put oven ono foot on tho bottom
of tho ladder, ero thoy darod to think
of climbing! Or woro thoy pampored
eons of rich men, who, without any
knowlcdpo of tho business, wcro "sot
up" by millionaito fathers!
Tho answer is tho samo in all coun
tries. Tho successful mon aro thoso
who conquered adversity and woro
trained oarly to self-dotiial ; tho ban
dana, or tho home-spun blue chock
gingham 'kerchief, is tho t.-aditional
"Saratoga" of tho early days of self
mado millionaires.
Thoir sons and daughters 'am given
tho host of oducAtion and social advan
tages; tho sons aro given "capital" to
enter business, of which thoy know
nothing, and their youth of leisure has
destroyed all natural aptitudo thoy may
havo had for assuming business habits.
Their daughters marry rich men's sons,
as worthless as their own for practical
purposes, and thoy entor upon a brief
career, and tbero is a show of prosperity
as long as the parents' money lasts.
Dr. Sevier's "John" is a reproduction
of the men and women who have known
a luxurious youth.
A fow, u vory few, givo their children
tho truo advantages that money can
give. Xo stato of wealth should de
prive each boy and girl of two "ways" fo
tho vulgar (!) art ofgottinga living"
An education, however brilliant, has
missed tho greatest goal if it will not
serve, from some of its points, this prac
tical purpose. No state of wealth should
prevent each human being from being
taught, also, some manual method for
securing bread and butter. Money
takes unto itself wings in tho strangest
ways; monoy is engulfed in tho vortex
whoso whirpool dopths originated in a
remoto ripplo that soemed as separato
from its final culminating point as tho
poles aro from each other.
When theso momonts como, where is
tho vaunted freedom from tho ordinary
rules of lifo! '
Kings nnd princes, with their un
earned crowns, thoughtlessly livo as if
tho common wants of mankind could
never bo of personal moment to thorn.
Yot a sharp turn in tho fato of nations,
and, discrowned, thoy may envy oven
tho voricst herdsman his ability to so
euro tho food thoy onco would havo des
pised. Our Country Homo.
CHOICE RECIPES.
Fried Sweetdrkads. Swocebrcads
should bo laid in warm water with a
pinch of salt in it, for half an hour, to
mako them white. Fut them in cold
wator and let them romain ovor tho firo
until thoy havo boilod ten minutes.
Cut them into slices, brush them with
an egg and sprinklo over with broad
crumbs. Fry them in butter. Each
aweotbrend will ropuiro an ounco of
butter. Servo dry, or with a rich gravy,
as a fowl.
Our Cake. Two eggs, two cupfuls
sugar, ono-half cupful butter, boat
smooth, add two scant cupfuls rich milk
and five cupfuls of flour with four toa
spoonfuls baking powder, flavor with
lomon and pour half of it into a squaro
loaf tin; havo thrco tablespoon fuls of
molted chocolate ready and stir it in
BtrcakH through tho renaming butter;
pour into a corresponding form and bako
slowly thirty minutes for marblo cako.
Baker Eaas. Put a toaspooutul of
butter in a pio-plato, and sot in tho oven
until it molts and begins to smoko. Tako
it to tho table and break tix eggs ono
by ono into tho molted buttor carefully.
Sprinklo with poppor and salt, put a
tiny bit ot butter on oach and set in tho
ovon to bako until tho eggs aro "sot,"
that is, when tho whites aio firm and
tho yolks ekimmod ovor, but not hard.
Four minutes in a quick ovon should do
this. Send to tablo at onco. If you havo
a fuw spoonfuls of nico chicken gravy
you can strain and uso it instead of
buttor.
Potatoes A La Hoyal. Ono pint of
hot, boilod potatoes, n goncrous half
cupful of crcum of milk, two tablospoon
fuls ot buttor, tho whites of four eggs
and the yolk ot one, salt and poppor to
tasto. Boat tho potato very light and
fine. Add tho seasoning, milk and but
ter, and lastly tho whites ot tho eggs
beaten to a stiff froth. Turn into a but
tered oscalopdish. Smooth with a knifo,
and brush over with tho yolk of tho egg,
which has boon well beaten. Brown
quickly and servo. It will tako ton min
utes to brown. Tho dish in which it is
baked should hold a littlo moro than a
quart.
Hints Aiiout Potatoes. Old pota
toes, such as ono sometimes has in tho
months of April or May, can bo ron
derod less watery by n very oimplo pro
cess. When about to dish thorn, tako
ono at a timo in a coarso towel, nnd
squoozo it as hard as possible Then lay
it carefully in tho dish. Now potatoes
should always bo boiled in hot wator,
and with tho skins on. Theso may bo
removed at tho moment of dishing;
sprinklo on Bolt as you lay them in tho
dish. Somo persons scrapo tho skins oil'
boforo boiling, but on no account should
thoy bo poelod.
Cooking Smelts. Soak smelts in
warm wator for fifteen minutes, then
Bcrapo thorn, ltomovo tho long dark vein
that runs through tho body, by gently
pulling off tho head, first loosening it
slightly with a knifo. After this, rinso
them, and lay them in a cloth to dry.
Then roll each in a plato ot corn meal.
Fry thorn delicatoly in deep lard (or
enough to halt cover them) boiling hot
when thoy aro put in, and kupt bo till
tho fish aro brown. Sprinklo them with
salt when you dish them; if put on when
you begin to cook them thoy will not
brown.
To WASH Fouitoy. Fill tho insido
with cold water, holding it over a pan.
Keeping tho hands ovor tho openings,
shako hard. Rinso it in this wny in
several waters. In noxt to tho last it is
well to dissolve one teaspoonful of soda,
if thero is any sourness.
Beatino Cake. Beat from tho bot
tom ot the mixing bowl with a wooden
spoon, bringing it up full and high with
each Btroko, and as soon as tho ingredi
ents aro fairly and qmoothly mixed stop
beating, or your cako will be tough.

IN THE KITCHEN.
I went to tho kitchen. I wanted to see
It cooc had anything good thero for mo.
Sho stood nt tho table with sugar and apice
And raiiina and currant and everything nice,
And atirrcd with a apoon juat as fast aa
'twould go,
And put in como flour and rolled out aomo
dough,
And cut littlo round things as fast as sho
could.
And baked them and then thrywero cookies
and good I
I ate ono and two and then three and then
four,
And when they were finished I ato a few
moro,
And then cook gavo mo a nice lamp of dough,
And told me to mako hor a Jolly, fine boau,
I mado something round and put currants
for eyes,
They stared, and looked solemn. and sober
and wise,
I pinched up a noso in the mlddlo and mado
A hole for a mouth 'twas a beautiful head 1
I made him a waiato with a beautiful row
Of buttons 'twas currants, a dozen or so;
I made bim aomo arms and aomo fingers and
feet;
It yon could havo acen him, so funuy, and
aweott
I gave him a cinnamon stick for a gun,
A cap, ot a raisin, and then ho was dono.
Wo baked him and ftavo him to Polly and
Ned;
Thoy ato him all up in a hurry and aaid s
That of all things on earth they did really
enjoy,
No goody cornea up to a augar dough boy.

OUR LETTER BOX.
Wo aro glad to bco that thoro is
enough interest in tho lottors to koop
up tho column, though thero aro not as
many as at first. Oraco writes a very
noat letter, ono that all will read with
intorost, for sho tells ot homo affairs and
of her daily lifo. Wo hopo that that
ilowcr garden will succeed and grow.
Aunt Hetty will try and find somo loco
paltcrna to print for hor bonofit. It is a
good idea to keep somo such picco of
work handy, and then if thero is a loi
suro momont, pick it up and work on it.
In this way much may bo accomplished
without ovon knowing when it was
dono.
Hamilton writes again, and a livo boy
ho must bo, too. Wo hopo that thoso
calves will not bo claimed by father
whon thoy grow up to bo big enough to
soil. So ofton paronts will allow a child
to claim ownorship, and nono think of
tho pain it gives to tako away something
tho littlo heart has been sot on. No
wondor that boyj don't caro to stay on
tho farm.
Henry thinks of tho Circle, nnd tries
to do his host by writing a good letter.
Wo hopo that Henry is good to his
pony Ned. Animals aro dopondont on
man, and no animal used is so neces
sary as tho horse, and perhaps nono bo
badly abused. Thoy aro so sensitivo
and ho intelligent, it seems strango that
mankind can bo cruel to them. Thoy
suffor from tho lnck of food and water;
thoy aro ovcr'driven and beaten. Aunt
Hetty feels suro that tho boys who road
tho Farmer will grow up to havo a
heart for tho miserios of animal lifo, for
sho tries to impress on tho young les
sons of mercy to dumb animals. It is
a suro Hign of a coarse, vulgar nature,
to abuso theso helpless croaturcs.
Frank might givo a lunger letter, but
thon ho does well for a boginnor. Ho
must lot us know how ho gets along
with tho plow, and whether ho takes
good caro of his team aftor a hard day's
work ; whothor ho rubs them down good,
and gives thorn a good bed, or if ho just
tics them up in a poor stable.
Halsky, Oon., March 22, 1887.
Editor Home Circle:
As I havo not written to tho Homo
Circlo for a long time, I thought I would
wrilo again. I livo on a farm four miles
northoast of Halsoy, but I am staying
in town now, going to school, but I ex
pect I will havo to stop in a wcok, to
follow tho plow. Wo havo about 100
acres to plow. It hat been so wet wo
could not work much on tho farm lately,
but I guess it has cleared up now. I
will close for this timo.
From your prohibition friend,
Frances Taylor.

laco. I will tell how to mako cup cako :
Ono cup of sugar, ono cup of sour milk,
thrco cups of flour, ono egg, and ono-half
teaspoonful ot salcratus ; bako in a mod
erately hot ovon. As I bco no ono has

to answer it myself. It was Saul; 1
Snmuol, 31 chapter, and -1 verso. Our
school will open in about two wcoks

Brace Dp,
You are feeling depressed, your appetito
is poor, you aro bothered with Headach, you
aro 'Idqety, nervous, and generally out of

not with stimulants, amine modiclnos, or
bitter, which have for their basis very cheap,
Lad whisky, and which stimulate you for an
