A Farm Picture.—Dark Side. George William Curtis says: j K I think of many and many a sad-eved woman, 1 have known in solitary country homes, who Seeded never to have smiled, who struggle .with hard hands through melting heat and pinchiug cold, to hold buck poverty ami want that hover like wolves about an ever increasing flock of children. How it Was scour in the morning, and scrub at night, and scold all day long ! Ilow cftre- blurred the window like a cloud, hiding the lovely landscape! How Anxiety snarled at her heels, dogging her like xi cur! How little she knew or cared that' bobolinks, drunk with blithe idleness, tumbled and. sang in the meadows below—that the earth was telling the time of year with flowers in the woods above. As I think of these things, of thissolitary, incessant (Inidgervy of "tEe tacitui n husband coming in heavy with sleep—too weary to read, to talk, to think —I do not wonder that the mad-hons-es are so richly recruited from the farm-houses, as the statistics show —that the farmer’s daughter hangs enchanted over stories in the weekly paper ot the handsome Edward Augustus with white hands and black eyes—nor that the farmer’s sou heajp the city bells that long ago rang to Whittington, ‘Turn-again, Whittington, lord mayor of London,’ ringing to him as lie pauses in the furrow, ‘Turn Again, plonghboy, millionaire and mercUantr ” Mince Pies. —Take a pound of beef, free from skin and strings, and chop it very fine ; then two pounds of suet, which likewise pick and chop : add three pounds of currants nicely cleansed and perfectly dry, one pottfld and a half of apples, the peel and juice of a lemon, half a pint of sweet wine, half a nut-' meg, andja few cloves and mace, with a pimento in fine powder; have citron, orange and lemon peel ready, and put some in each of the pies when made. — Cider may be substituted for the wim*,'stoned raisins chopped fine in place of currants, and the mace and citron left out altogether. Chow-Chow.— Three heads of cabbage, two dozen peppers half a pint of white mustardseed, and grated horseradish. Cut the cabbage fine, chop the nepoeca. and pus in the jar n layer of cabbage, then a layer of peppers, then a little salt, and sprinkle a little horseradish and mustard-seed over the whole, and so on until the ingredients are all in the jar; then, fill the jar with cold vinegar, to every quart of which dissolve two ounces of brown garDuMI’LINS WITH PoftK. —Put bn to boil any required quantity of water, put in.a few slices 'of salt pork; to this add a quantity of potatoes. Let these boil a few minutes, then df*op into the mixture a few small round dumplins, season with pepper and serve immediately. White’ Mountain Cake. — •Half pound of butter; one pound sugar; one pound flour; one cup cream; fife eggs; teaspoon of saleratus; beat the eggs separately and add the whites last just before putting in the oven.

Soda Biscuit.—One quart of flour; two teaspqonslul of soda; butter the size of an egg; one tumbler of milk and water. Mix the butter dry in the flour with the cream tartar, dissolve the soda in the milk and water. Knead well.
