Study of the Scriptures.—I have observed then to slight the Word of God. They, per- baps, lind the doctrines of the Gospel clearly stated forthem in some nicely written book ; this saves them trouble, and so they prefer it to God's Word. Ah! we may get a smatter- ing of truth in this way, but this is not draw- ing waterfrom the deep wells of salvation Take the bucket yourself and fill it at the clear spring. Dig deep into the Scriptures, and there you will find solid gold. Thus you will become a sound and eettled Chris— tian.—BPishop Orenden. A Sott Answer.—How a soft answer can turn away dissatisfaction, as well as wrath, is illustrated in the following anecdote of the jate President Wayland: —‘* Deacon Moses Pond went to Dr. Wayland once, with the complaint that the preaching didn't edify him. ‘I'm sorry,’ said the pastor, ‘I know they are poor sermons. 1 wish I could make them better, Come, let us pray that I may be able to do so.” The deacon telling the story, used to say, * Dr. Wayland prayed, and | prayed. He eried, and Icried. But I have thought a hundred times that it was strange he did notturn meout of the house. I tell you there never was a better man nor a greater preacher than Dr. Wayland.’”’’ To encounter death, to go forth to the last dread scene with no strength but that of nature. is hopeless work. There must be the living might of faith to make the soul vyie- toriovs To millions of men the fear of death has cast a dark shadow over life, but faith has made the soul victorious over it. many departments of life are written for our encouragement. It has shut the mouths of liens, quenched the violence of fire, turned back the edge of the sword. and subdued kingdems. But nowhere do we see its con- quering foree more than in life’s last scene.

Afier lying turee or four weeksin pickle rub them with bran and hang them up to smoke. The receipt [ have adopted fur my own use is as follows —For twelve hams, | [b. sait- pelre, 12 lbs. of tine salt, I-2 gallon'molasses These ingredients, when well mixed, will have about the consistency and appearance of damp brown sugar. Rub them thorough- ly with the mixture, lay them singly on a dry p'atform. At the end of the week rub them together: al the end of the second week again rub them and hang them up to smoke, leatthem dry thoroughly, but do not smoke them more than ten days. It will be perceived that all the foregoing receipls embody the same principles, and differ onty in the inede of compounding the ingredients and their application; and Iam frequently amused lo see some newly fledged agricultural journal publishing a new res ceipt for curing bacen hams, when in prin- ciple if not in words it is precisely the same as was used more than half a century ago. In regard to smoking meat, it has been practical in this country since lime immems orial, but I do wot deem it essential to its preservation. Many persons like a slight flavor of smoke, others do not. Meat cured for the English market are never smoked, and | have known persons to kiln dry their meat as they would their tobacco, It is necessary, however, to have it thoroughly dried. I would not be understood as entire- ly discarding brine; in some cases it is not only valuable butindtspensible. The sides, or what is known as pork, being nearly all fat, possess neither fibrine nor albumen, and consequently cannot be injured either by salt or by water, and can be kept sound and sweet an indefinite length of time by simply keeping it covered with salt, and tak- ingitto the pump now and then and filling the cask with cold water. I would kere drop a caution. All brine requires to be assidu- ously watched and kept pure, It extracts the juiees of the meat; they being lighter than the water saturated with salt, rise to the top, become exposed tothe air, aud soon decompose, thereby contaminating the whole contents of the cask. The following recipe for making brine, is, I think, the best that has falien within my observation ;— Six Ibs. salt, one pint of molasses, 6 ounces saltpetre; dissolve them by boiling :n four gallons of water. In the pickle, when per- fectly coo!, keep any sort of fresh meat sunk and closely stopped. This pickle may be kept pure, and ils strength undiminished for almost any length of time, by occasional!y reboiling it and skimmed off the impurities; but as old brine is an excellent fertilizer, and salt is not expensive, | would r2commend that the old brine be thrown on the asparagus bed or compost heap, and freshly ma te brine be substituted. ()pinions in relation to the best mode of preserving meats after they are cured are as diversified as they are in regard to the mode of curing. The hams of commerce, I believe, are invariably covered with canvas and whitewashed. Many persons advocate pack- ing them in chaff, bran, ashes, etc. Others, after smoking, immerse them in brine ; others again packing them in air-tight barrels The manner of keeping im not so essential as the time at which they are put up, and hence the necessity of not consuming more time than is necessary in curing. If they are not secured before the fly deposits its eggs upon them, no means whatever will save then, except, indeed, keeping them in a temperature so low that the eggs cannot hatch, or immersing themin brine For any consiverable quantity I prefer the tight bar- rel system. But for family use, I have found a rough swinging shelf, the sides and ends of which are covered with wire cloth (in which the pieces are hung) very convenient and secure against flies and vermin of every ture, | -% Wich are now Open for Inspection j Prices.

THE ALDINE, THE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA, IssurD Montury. “A Magnificent Conception, wonderfully carried out,” The necessity of a popular medium for the representation of the productions of our artist, has always been recognized, and man attempts have been made to meet the want The successive failures which so invariably followed each attempt in this country to establish an art journal, did not prove the im. difference of the people of America to the claims of high art. So soon asa proper ap- preciation of the want and an ability to ineet it were shown, the public at once rallied with enthusiasin to its support, and the result wag a great artist and commercial triumph— ALDINE. oe * TUE ALDINE, while issued with al} regu. larity, has aonecf the temporary or i interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals, It isan elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature; anda collection of pic. tures, the rarest specimens of artistic skijj in black and white. Although each succeed. ing number affords a fresh pleasure to jtg friends, and the real value and beauty of the ALDINE will be most appreciated afer ig ig bound upat the close of the year. While other publications may claim superior Cheap- ness, as compared with rivals of a simijep class, THE ALDINE is a unique and origina! concept! *n—alone and unapproached—apb. solutely without competition in price op character. The prossessor of @ complete volume can not duplicate the quantity of fing pape: and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for ten times ils cost; and then, there is the chromo besides! ’ The national features of THE ALDIYE must be taken in no narrow sense. True are its Cosmopolitan. While THE ALDINE is a strictly Americen institution, it does not contine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its mission is to cultivate @ broad and appreciative art taste, one that will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit. Thus, while placing before the pat- rons of THE ALDINE, as a leading charac- teristic, the productions of the most noted American artists, attention will always be given to specimens from foreign giving ape eat the pleasure and ip. struction obtainable from home or foreign sources. The artistic illusration of American scen- ery, original with THE ALDINB is au ims portant feature, and its magnificent plates be are of asize more apprepriste to the satisfactory treatmemt of details then can afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersion of landscape, marine, figure, and animal subjects, sustain an unabated is- terest, impossible where the scope of the work contines the artist toe closly to a single style of subject. The literature of THE ALDINE is a light and graceful accompaniement, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical dispositions as do not interfere with the popular interest of the work.
