" Till the world be quite dissolved and -past. So long, at least, the needles' use shall last.' Dishcloths, to Make. — Get a pair of wooden needles and a ball of candles wicking, set up a row of 20 stitches, knit back and forth unil you use make a perfect dishcloth. This is porous and light as a sponge, and can be cleaned with the least labor, and rendered perfectly sweet.
OULINAEY COUPLETS.
(By a Rhyming Epicure.) In dressing sal.id mind the law, With two hard yolks use one that's raw. Your mutton chops with paper cover, And make them amber brown all over. Broil lightly your beefsteak — to fry it, Argues contempt for Christian diet. It gives true epicures the vapours, To see boiled mutton minus capers. Veal cutlets dip m egg and bread crumbs, Fry till you see a brownish red comes. To roast spring chickens is to spoil 'em, Just split them down the back and broil 'em.
EXTRACTS.
"Parents do not know what they do when they leave tender babes alone, to go to sleep m the dark. The feeling about for a friendly arm, the hoping for a familiar voice, when they wake screaming and find none tcr~saothe~ them ; what a shaking it is to their poor nerves.
