The Democratic Bourbons.

wi - —rt - ■** * - hi nave aireaay mentionea the stnig gift in the Democratic party between th* CM and the new spirit.between the dogged retention of the old doctrines and policy "she signs of the contest abound on every aide. The different tone of the platforms in the various States, and the character and ahtocodento /of the candidates of Which we spoke Met week, ail reveal the want of a common conviction and a common purpose in the party. It begins to appear, however, that the progressive wing of the pdrty yields to the Bourbons, and that one more effort will be made to protong the angry debate out of which the war sprang. Thia contest in the Democratic party began with its organisation under Jhckson. General Jackson was substantially a Jeffersonian. He was in favor of a restriction of government to the lowest terms, and although he approved a tariff for defense, he was opposed to a national system of internal improvements and magnificent enterprises. Long before General Jackson thought of the Presidency, Mr. Calhoun, whose general political philosophy was much leas sound tlian Jackson’s, had fixed Ids heart upon it. His instinct indicated to him his chief rival, and during the Presidency of Monroe Mr. Calhoun was hostile to “ the hero,” who did not suspect it. Jackson's election presently made Calhoun his open enemy. The first contest between them was the nullification movement of 1832. Jackson was honestly a Union man, and heartily despised as well as disbelieved the Southern theory of the government. His proclamation was as admirable and sound as Webster’s speeches, and he made preparations to keep the peace and enforce the law. In the latter resolution his party supported him. But in his Message of 1832, previous to the proclamation, he virtually recommended the policy that Calhoun demanded. From that moment the Calhoun element in the Democratic party grew stronger, until it absolutely controlled it, and the war that was always latent in that element broke out. The conduct and event of the war proved that the people rejected the Calhoun theory while they destroyed slavery, ' for whose protection the theory was urged. The Democratic party, as a' party, passively opposed the war ; and at its end the party organization remained. The internal conflict was therefore inevitable. There were the party traditions, the 'Southern alliance, anil the hatred of the negro, with the old party leaders, apologists of slavery, and supporters of the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions—in fact, the Calhoun men, on one side; and on the other, the fresher element of the party, young proselytes who held philosophically to the limited functions of government, and who insisted upon abandoning the plainly closed issues of the last generation. Of this wing the New York World became the organ ; a journal skillfully and intelligently managed, but whose tone of light mockery has always paralyzed its influence and destroyed its power. In the Democratic National Convention of 1868 the two wings of the party met and tried conclusions. Calhoun reappeared in the flesh as Wade Hampton, and he swept all before him. The New York managers had secured the meeting of the Convention tn Tammany Mall itself, and intended to secure their preference in the nomination. But the wilier tfee New York plotting the more conspicuous was the triumph of South Carolina, One of the ablest and most honorable of New York Democrats, Henry C. Murphy, reported the platform, and the New York trick of nominating the New Yorker, Horatio Seymour, succeeded. But Mr. Murphy's platform was repudiation, and Mr. Seymour, who had opposed repudiation at Tweddle Hall, accepted as his own the repudiating platform of Tammany. The question of the campaign, therefore, was simply whether the people would surrender the results of the war, and the election of General Grant was the answer. The progressive wing of the party was. compelled to submit to • the Bourbons of the Convention, and their hopes of the prompt abandonment of oid issues and a bold flash at the future in the nomination of Mr. Chase being baffled, the progressives made a show of falling into line; but after the premonitory thunder of Maine and Pennsylvania the World called for a change of front, which was a confession of inevitable defeat. It came, and the new men naturally supposed that it would instruct the Bourbons. But they forgot that nothing can instruct the Bourbons. The World hailed the nomination of General Rosecrans in Ohio, urged that of General Hancock in Pennsylvania, and rejoices over that of John Quincy Adams in Massachusetts. It has stringently set forth that common-sense demands acquiescence in what is actually accomplished. But it pleads in vain. The Bourbons conquer. General Rosecrans, in declining, echoes the World; and the Bourbons nominate in his place Vallandigham’s candidate, Pendleton, the chief national representative of repudiation; and in Pennsylvania Asa Packer, an extreme Bourbon; and answer John Quincy Adams’ speech, advising a general renunciation of old issues, byyhe stolid declaration of the platform that they change nothing. Not content with condemning the war by replacing Rosecrans, a Union general, by Pendleton, a Vallandigham Copperhead and repudiator, and, by preferring Packer tft Hancock, the Bourbons now begin to demand the head of the chairman ? of the National Committee, who opposes repudiation. They will not demand it in vain. Exerywhere, also, the Bourbons insist upon opposition to the Fifteenth Amendment, and the refusal of equal rights to the colored citizens. It is the reaction nationally attempted last year at which they now aim in the separate States. And so complete is their victorv that the World itself, whose one principle of partyaction since the surrender of Lee has been the abandonment of issues that were plainly settled, attempts to prove that Mr. Pendleton's proposition to pay the bonds in currency is not bad faith, and that the negro contest must be continued. The passage of the Fifteenth Amendment, which the World opposes, would formally close the great debate of the last generation; and the acquiescence in equal suffrage in this State by the adoption of the new Constitution would open the way for the consideration of new issues. The Bourbons have conquered the. Wyrld, which has surreadered every advantage that the result of the Presidential election gave it. It hurrahs for Pendleton and hurrahs for Adams. It is like-hurrahing for Jackson and then for Calhoun. As for its Democratic readers, “ Gentlemen, you pays your money and you takes your choice.” -- ftt>estion for the country then is, shall wput the negro otft" of pditus by completing the work which is nearly accomplished of securing his equal rights ? Let the voters in this State, and in every State, remember that the Bourbons insist upon fighting the same ell battle over again. We fought ifin a w.v that they remember in 1860, ’64, and 68. Let us show in *O9 that there can lie no radical change in parties until the < uestion which divides them is settled.— ILirper'i Widely. A nw days ago the following advertisement appeared in a New York paper: “ Wanted, a situation by a woman as cook in a private family; the family to be as high as a ford's family in Europe ”

Mr. Pendleton’s Figures.

WM regret that Mr. Pendleton should have been prematurely flailed on by bis hnpaUout supporters, and 80 foi into the unfortunate mistake of committing himself to crude and inaoChrafe statements in regard to the finances, especially, in his only speech of the canvass. These tilings detract, in the minds of those who do not know his honorable intent, from the reputation for candid statesmanship aworded him by his political and personal friends. In this speech, which our readers saw on Saturday, Mr. Pendleton seems more intent in making out a case Against his opponents than upon heljiing his auditors to understand the situation as it is. For example, in what he says of the diminution of the national debt un<h r President Grant's administration—a point which is telling with great effect in favor of the Republican party—Mr. Pendleton reaorta to a species of figuring which docs him no credit, even for ingenuity. His process is no better than that of certain Democratic organs which we exposed some time since —of counting the sinking fond as a debt, and reckoning cash on hand and bonds bought in, on the wrong side of the account—ln order to make it appear that the thorough retrenchment and economy put in practice by this Administration, and its largely increased receipts from an honest collection of the revenue, have not diminished but actually increased the debt! Mr. Pendleton well says: “ ‘ Figures won't lie ’ may be a very true saying, but they may be so turned and twisted that they convey to us common people, who are not Secretaries [or Presidential candidates?] but only tax-piiy-ers, a' very” impression."' Ana he proceeds to demonstrate—in a different way from what we might have expected—the* truth of his remark. Mr. Pendleton first objects to Mr. Boutwell’s official statement of the diminution of the debt, that “ every other Secretary thought the Pacific Railroad bonds were a part of the debt.” As Mr. Pendleton happens to think so too, he straightway—with wltat we may call gn. eager thoughtlessness—adds the full amount of those bonds to the debt statement of August Ist. By this process, he demonstrates that the debt, instead of being diminished, has been actually increased under the- present administration. Now, is It not a little singular that all the Democratic xnnthematictil experts hitherto should have failed to hit coon this discrepancy—one so obvious on the very Surface, if Mr. Pendleton is correct » Is it not even more surprising that Mr. Boutwell should hope to palm off such a trick without detection ? .In point of fact, the Secretary has furnished a full statement of the amount of Pacific Railroad bonds issued. They are fairly accounted for in every statement. It makes absolutely no difference in which way they are reckoned, when you are comparing month by month, to show the morease or decrease of the debt, provided they are included or excluded alike in each statement. Properly speaking, they have no place in the debt account, being in the nature of a guarantee loan, secured by mortgage; but that, we repeat, matters nothing in the comparison of monthly statements from which the Pacific bonds are excluded. And these liabilities were not incurred under the present Administration, in any event. Not content with this fll-oonsidered venture, Mr. Pendleton adds; “But even according to his (Mr. Boutwell’s) plan, the statement shows an increase of more than eleven millions of dollars of bonds which bear interest in coin.” He does not accom pany this assertion with any figures from the official report, or state within what length of time this addition has been made to the issue of “bonds which bear interest in coin.” The Government has notof late been issuing bonds of this class, to our knowledge. Mr. Pendleton is not specific enough. The truth is—and no amount of special pleading or adroit figuring can prevent its recognition by the people—that the receipts of the Government liave been largely Increased since the'inauguration of President Grant. This has been accomplished, not by imposing any new burdens of taxation, but mainly' by enforcing collection from the dishonest shirks who liad before managed to evade doing their part. With this increase of the revenues, there has been also a great diminution of expenditures, through rigid retrenchment and economy. By means of this twoedged sword of reform, an unusual and important surplus has been left in the Treasury, which Mr. Boutwell-has used in paying off the debt at the rate of millions per month. Whether he has done this in the best possible way, is a fitir subject for discussion. To “ deny the facts,” as Mr. Pendleton does, can hardly be wise, or expedient even for an occasion. That it is an uncandid attempt to mislead, or else a hasty exercise in financial ciphering, unworthy his reputation, is certain. — Cincinnati Chronicle.

NASBY.

[From the Toledo Blade.] MIL N ASBY TAKES A LOOK OVER THE POLITICAL HORIZON AND GIVES THE RESULT THEREOF. Mock Chunk, wich is in the State I uv Puausilvmiy, Sept. U. 1869. ) At last I hev struck a haven nr. rest. At last I hev a shoor abidin place, for a tone at least. How long I may stay, or how soon I may be compelled to pick up my landlord’s'spare shirt and travel, I can’t tell. But wat do I care? For the present I am under the wing uv a man who hez twenty millions uv dollars, and who is yoosin it at* terrific rate. Some few uv the drops uv the golden shower is a fallin onto me, and lam content. That is, lam content personally. lam ez well off ez I cud be. I hev twice penetrated the august presence, uv the Democratic candidate for Governor uv Pennsilvany, representin myself ez President uv a Democratic club in Philadelphy. and .twice have! received a hundred dollars to carry on the good work. The young man wich guards the outer door uv the candidatorial manshen is a most acoot judge uv human nacher. The Servant at the door askt for credenshels, at wscli the younj* man who happened to Kin the hall, noticin me, rebuked him me. “ Torence!" remarkt he sharply, “ admit all sich noses without question. Yoo bet they are our friends.” ~ That nose hez cost me-, thousands uv other people’s dollars io keep it np in color. Thank Heaven, its repay! n me some uv the trouble I hev gone to on its account. I am well enuff off, and possibly oqght to be satisfied, but the condishen uv the Dimocrisy afflix me. The fact iz, we are in a bad way, and ther ain’t no way out uy it. We ain’t got no yoonanimity—we ain’t got nothin to lite for, and the country her. hed universally good crops. The weather’s bin agin us. Es we cood hev hed. nun in the harvest enuff to hev rustid the wheat, and emiff folterln the wheat harvest to hev rotted the pertaters, and then a juicy attack uv the cholera and yellow fever, and other disorders uv that nacher, ad that the people cood "hev got dissatisfied and ugly and sich, ther wood hev bin some hope for us. The potato rot in western Pennsylvany wood hev made thousands uv rates this fall alone. But wat’s the yoose uv talkin to farmers with teers in yoor eyes uv a country goin to rooin, when every mother’s son uv em hev ther pockets stuffed with green bax and a barn full uv wheat to bring more ? Wat’s the yoosqv clamorin for change when the country’sdoin ez well ez it kin anyhow? TWn agin, our mahagement hez bin fttteftiL In Oh|o t we made a boggle at the beginnin, in tye nonien%shen uv Rose

crans. ft Wtun’t In Che ntcher tro things for our patttota who had shot officers sent out by this Roaaprana to arraal their sons which hed taken bounty and hed deserted to Canady, to vote for Koaocranz, partlklerly ez hundreds jty em hed bin dragged to Bastites for emfftyln their rifles at em. The hurrahs stuck in their throats. I must confess that they made a brave attempt nt it, but- they looked sick while they did it Their efforts to hurrah for Rosecrans, and the face they made uv it reminded me uv an incident which occurred to m< wunst I hed a friend whose name it was Brown, who wtiz given to indulgence in the flowin bole to a foarfol extent. Wun nite heattempted to be convivyel on a new brand uv whisky, and it floored him. At 11 P. M. I found him clingin to a lamp post and vomitin ez tho ther wuz a minatoor earthquake into his insides. “ Brown !” remarked I, Jayin my hand affectionately onto his shoulder, “ Brown are you sick ?’’ “Sidt/ Sick!” replied he, swfaigin around to the other side uv the post and dischargin another avalanch. “Bick! h—l! do yoo think I’m doln this for the fun ay the thing?” Qnr Democrats in Ohio swnllcred Rosecrans, but their burrrhs were ho much, like the retchin uv a man with a load onto his stumick, that it reminded me uv my friend Brown. In Pennsylvania we aint much better off Our candidate hez pints about him. He wuz a copperhcd doonn the war, wich makes all uv that class uv Democrats enthoosiastic in his support; but on tother hand it drives off the W’ar Democrats, without wich we aint worth shucks. He hes money though, and ex he’s bleedin freely, he may keep the organizaahen alive till we kin make a fitc with a man wich we kin elect. The principle trouble is however to find out wat Democracy is at this juncter. Iq . Ohio its agin nigger ekality and in favor uv either payin off the bonds' in greenbacks or repudiashun ; in Tennessee it’s nigger suffrage and nigger offis holdin; in Connecticut its payin, the bonds in gold, interest and principles : in Californy its anti-Chinese, and in Louisiana, its Chinese. In Maine our people arc runnin a perhibertory likker law, and everywhere else they’re for free whisky. In Illinois, Democracy is free trade; in Pennsilvany, its high protective tariff'and so on around. In snort its so high mixed that I woodent agree to go from one county to another to make speeches, without having first carefully ascertained wot the Democracy uv that pertikeler county believed in. I got Democratic papers from all the States one day, and by persistent reading uv em for five hours, I became so mixed as to be a promisin candidate for a loonatic Asylum. I slid stay wher I am so long ez there is anything to be got out uv the posishen. I heV personated a Cheerman uV Philadclfy - Committees twice with success; to-morrow I slid try it agin, and after that sieh other characters as may occur to me. I must make hay while the sun shines, for theTurious assaults onto Packer’s pile is redoosin it fearfully. < Petroleum V. Nasbv Wich wnz Postman’ - tar.

Minnesota Republican Platform.

The following resolutions were adopted by the late Republican Convention of Minnesota: Respited, That the Republican party of Minne eota, hi convention aascrnbled, reaffirm their devotion to the doctrine of liberty and equal and exact justice to all men, and that the complete triumph of these principles can only be attained by the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Resolced, That the retrenchment and economy, together with the gradual extinction of the public debt, which have xo signally characterized the present national administration in the conduct of public affairs, redeem our pledges to the public and demand their cordial approbation. Rewired, That the management of our State affairs under the Republican policy has been marked by that fidelity to principle and true economy which has glvch ub prosperity at home and consideration abroad, and that the trite interests of the State are to be found in maintaining the Republican party in power ... RewTted, That we denounce all forms of repudiation of the national debt as a national crime, and that the national honor demands payment of that Indebtedness in accordance with the letter and spirit of the laws under which it was contracted. Rewlced, That the relations of the United States with other nations should be so atypeted in respect to the legal status of our naturalized citizens towards the governments in allegiance to which they were born, that those citizets while abroad shall be recognized and protected by this Govennent aacitizens of the United States as fully as if they were native born citizens of the United States. Resolved, Tiiat the construction of a Northern Pacific Railway is imperatively demanded by the best interests of the entire country, and to that end a wise policy dictates thaf tills enterprise sboutd receive liberal aid from the United States.

Then I roesup stairs to inspeqtionate around a bit, and conies down and finds some scallywag has come in through the window and stolen my bundle, and gone off with it. Well, tliat is confounded dishonest. Folks is getting too mean for anything now.” Benjamin Franklin, 1769.—1 tis time our people understood and practised more generally Life Assurance. Many a widow and orphan have had great reason to be grateful that the advantage of Life Assur- ' ance was understood and embraced by the husband and father. A large amount has been paid by Life Assurance Companies to widows and orphans when it formed almost their only resource. Edward F. Jones, 1869.—1 have made sufficient examination of the condition of the Washington Life Insurance Company of New York to warrant me in taking a policy of Twenty Thousand Dollars. The Lanai, the leading medical journal of England, has an article calling attention to the practicability of using bran for the cradles, or rather the nests, of newborn babies. It is assured by mothers who have tried the system that it answers admirably; The plan of action is as follows : An ordinary cradle is filled with common bran. A hair pillow is put in, and then the bran is moved aside with the hands Until a "hollow ” Is formed the size of the child's body. The infant, divested of everything below the waist, and having a.little bodice orcape above that, is then placed in the bran, and its body completely covered with it, exactly as may be seen at the seaside* where children play avburyine one another in the sand A light coverlet or counterpane placed above all, and baby is in bed for the night. This method is pursued from almost as soon as infants are born until they are eight or ten months old. The children, it is stated, do not kick themselves outside of the bran, unless it be very hot. The bran is cleanly, as bran absorbs fluid readily, and the wet sinks below the dry. The heatatoupd the babyrs equable and of sufficient temperature. An entirely new supply o> »,fan is required once k fortnight. ’ •

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Weeds. What toil and trouble they occasion ! But by the thrifty former all this toil and Woubie will be wffMngly taken if he can exterminate these troublesome and intrusive pests tl»t no pertinaciously tlxrust themselves in field, garden, and meadow., where Uiey arc neither Baked por wanted, for nny useful or ornamental purpose. Anti would it nokgratify the curiosity of soln* to learn that the moat obnoxious of these are foreign to our soil, and were not known to the aborigines, being introduced by Europeans ? The most objectionable, the Canada thistle, is of European origin. The ox-eyed daisy is from the same source, and is often in Pequsylvinla called the park-weed and was first sown by Gov. Keith, more than a hundred yedrs ago in his park. • From over the ooeau also came the dock, the mullcn, the common thistle, chess, buttercup, wild parsnip and carrot, garlic, St. John’s wort, dandelion, plantain, buid'ick, and teazel. Not many American plants have we given in exchange for these to the Old World, and whether our Indian corn .and tlie jfOtato have neutralized the evil caused by the introduction of toliacco by Sir Walter Raleigh, may be questioned. I cannot now think of a single native noxious weed tiiat is troublesome to the farmer : they are all exotic to our soil. Our common medicinal herbs also came from over the waters with our fathers: tanzy, comfrey, mint, sage, thyme, balm, elecampane, horehound, and catnip were, no doubt, brought as household treasures. Seldom in China is a weed to be seen ; there every foot of soil being carefully economized and filled to overflowing with a hungry population, all kinds of noxious weeds arc carefully and timely exterminated. And if John Chinaman* will bring his economic virtues in this respect to our land, lie will not be an unwelcome guest, for weeds are here spreading slowly but surely. Go where we will—north, south, east, or west—the thistle, the ox-eye, the dock, aud that vile native of Asia, the jimson-wced, are gaining ground. It seems sometimes impossible for the farmer in the busy season to find the time to destroy all kinds of weeds before tlie seeds mature; the proper way of disposing of them then is to put in heaps, and when dry to burn them, instead, as the practice of some is, of throwing them into the roads for the next rain to wash back again on the neighboring fields, thus spreading instead of destroying the frail thing.— Hearth and Home.

Watering Horses.

Horses should never be kept so long without water that they will drink largely when they get it. Give it to them often, and they will never injure themselves with it. Nothing is more common than to hitch a team to the plow, and make them work half a day without a drop. What man would submit to such treatment ? If the plow is started at seven in the morning, water should be given again before ten; and again in the afternoon by four o’clock. Even if half an hour is thus consumed, more work will be done in a day. The objection that horses on the road should not be “ loaded with water,” is not valid. A horse weighing 1,21)0 pounds will not be much encumbered additionally by 20 poundu of water, while the- distension will give him additional strength. Every farmer knows that when he himself undertakes to lift a large log or heavy stone, he can do more by first inflating himself with air, and not unfrequently he loses a button or two from his pantaloons in the operation. Some degree of inflation by water will add to a horse’s strengui in a similar manner. In driving a horse on the road at a natural gait of nine or ten miles an hour, I have frequently had occasion to observe that he was laboring with perspiration until I let him drink freely, when he ceased to sweat and evidently traveled more freely. Don’t be afraid to give your horses water; the danger is in making them abstain too long—in which case, care is needed. — Country Gentleman.

To Make Apple Butter.

Select two bushels of sweet apples and two bushels of sour apples, and peel, core and quarter them. Take a barrel of good sweet apple cider, and boil it in a copper kettle until all the impurities have risen to the surface. After this is done, .aitcLthe impurities skimmed off, take out two-thirds of the cider. Then put in the apples, and as the quantity boils down put in the rest of the cider. After putting in the apples the butter must be stirred without interruption until it is taken off. It will take about five hour? boiling after the apples are put into the cider. It should be boiled until the whole mass becomes smooth and of the same consistency, and of a dark brown color. Spice with ground cloves and cinnamon, to taste. The butter can then be taken off and put into vessels for use. Earthen crocks are best fur this purpose. Tie the vessels over with heavy paper and set them away in a dry place. The butter will keep a year if wanted. Peach butter is made much in the same way. Sometimes the peaches are not peeled, though the butter is better if the peelings are taken off. It does not require so mqch boiling to make peach butter, and as soon as the peaches are thoroughly boiled up and the butter is thick enough it can be taken off. Cover the vessels with paper moistened with whisky. This will keep the’butter from moulding on top.— Farm Journal.

USEFUL RECIPES, ETC.

Chopped Pickles. —One gallon green tomatoes chopped fine; 4 green peppers; 3 onions; lianaful of salt sprinkled over them. Let them stand 6 hours —drain off the liquor and add 1 tablespoonful of ground pepper, 1 of allspice, 1 of made mustard, J, pint mustard seed, 3 pints vinegar. Cork tight. Rolling or sledding the field after sowing wheat always pays. If the ground nas been plowed lumpy, after the wheat is sown, a good roller or sled will press the soil close to the seed, and will crush and pulverize the lumps, leaving the surface smooth and level I would always recommend it— Exchange. ■ When vinegar has lost its acidity it can be restored by the following process; As it is wanted for use draw a two gallon jug bf itand put into it a half teacup full of molasses. Set the jug near the stove or in the sun a few days, and the vinegar will be of the best quality. By using a jug which has fowl vinegar in it, the acidity Will be hastened.— Farin Journal. What Mulch Is.—Anntilch, says Hearth and Home, is any loose-lying substance, which distributed over the surthce of the ground, will keep that surface moist.- dry leaves, chopped hay or straw (better than long straw), coarse manure, sawdust, tanbark, or even coarse pebbles, will form a mulch. A mulch is never to be dug in, but has effect from its position upon the top of the ground. " Lime is almost universally used by Pennsylvania farmers. When a erop of clover or grass is plowed down, from fifty to one hundred bushels are applied to an acre, and after being slaked is scattered over the surface and harrowed in. The wheat or other seed is then drilled in. One-half the quantity of Mine used on limestone soil will do on slate soil., Lime and clover wi)l make slate soil very productive, and oyster-shell lime has a still greater effect on it than that made from common’lime-stone.

But.tp sepd a distance for Vie plants and have to take the' chanVf of having them arrive in good order, and at a time suitable for planting, it becomes a rather Uncertain operation. Spring appears to be the proper time for removing such delicate plants, unless one ean choose favorable weather for transplanting. We have set out strawberry-plants In August, and the next season they produced a moderate crop; but such instances are exceptional, and not cSlnmon.— and LLmu. Taking up Plants.—From the fifteenth of September to the first ot October is the proper time to do this. Care must be had to take up as large a ball of roots as jx>ssible, and after being potted the plants should be well watered, and placed in a frame under a sash, and partially shaded, it being necessary to provide a rather warm, moist atmosphere for them, and to defend them against the cool nights and dry atmosphere usual at this time of year. The frame should be moderately aired by lowering the sash six or eight inches at the top Tn the middle of the day, nnd if the plants are soft wooded, such as Zonale geraniums, they may be pruned in somewhat ; but Begonias, Bouvardias, Carnations, etc., should be left unpruned. When the plants have made fresh roots, Which will be in from ten to fourteen days, they may be removed to the greenhouse or parlor. — Hearth and Home. How to Make Coffee.—The American Builder says:—First, solemnly determine in your mind never to allow an ounce of ground coffee to enter the door of the kitchen. If no one about the premises understands the art of roasting coffee, then buy it ready roasted, and try and find a dealer who has not soaked all the essential juices from the coffee before putting it into his oven. If the roasted berry is about twice as large as when green, depend upon it, the scalawag Great Humbug Tea and Coffee company have defrauded you. Get au earthen pot, —you cannot make good coffee or tea in a tin vessel —and put the ground coffee in a clean white fiannel bag, and be sure to put enough in, and drop the bag into the pot. Pour on boiling water, and let it steep, do not boil it. The coffee will steep in twenty minutes. Never break an egg into coffee, and never fill up with water the seeond time. Pour on, in the beginning, the amount of water needed. An ordinary teacupful of ground coffee is sufficient for three persons. Use Java, Mocha, or Java and Rio mixed. Follow this receipt, and you will never complain of poor coffee.

A Regular Habit of Body

Is absolutely essential to physical health and clearness of intellect. Noris this all. Beauty of person cannot co-exiot with an unnatural condition of the bowels. A free passage of the refuse matter of the system through these natural waste pipes, la as necessary to the purity of the body as the free passage of the offal of a city through its sewers is necessary to the health of its inhabitants. Indigestion is the primary cause of most of the diseasoe of the discharging organs, and one of its most common results is constipation. This comSlaint, besides being dangerous In itself, has many isagreeable concomitants—such as an unpleasant breath, a sallow skin, contaminated blood and bile, hemorrhoids, headache, loss of memory, and general debility. ’ • HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS remove all these evils by removing their immediate cause in the digestive organs, and regulating the action of the intestines. The combination or properties iu tM» celebrated preparation is one of ite chief merits. It is not merely n stimulant, or a tonic, or an antibilions agent, or a nervine, or a blood depiuent, or a cathartic, but all these curative agents Judiciously blended in one powerful restorative. tivity and vigor to the inert and enervated stomach, relieves the alimentary canal of its obstructions, and gives tone to the .membrane which lines it, gently stimulates the liver, braces the nerves, and cheers the animal spirits. No other remedy possesses each a variety of hygienic virtues. It is to these characteristics that it owes its prestige as a household medicine. Experience has proved that it is as harmless as it is efficacious, and hence it is as popular with the weaker sex as with the stronger. HOBTETTERIB STOMACH JITTERS is sold iu bottles only, arid the trade-mark blown In the glass and engraved on the label, with our steel engraved revenue stamp over the eork, is the test of gehuineness.
