In all oooking Judgment la more needful than utreotlon, since these must be mutable with the sort of oven, the sise of meat or poultry, and the sort of fuel used. To make the gravy, skim off all fat from the liquor In which the giblets are boiled, mast the liver, and chop tbe giszard and heart tine, omitting all irriatle and fat; pat them back Into the liquor, aaaaon with aalt. pepper; oelerv salt, and a small pinch of clove, boil up and thicken with a tables poonfnl of flour rubbed smooth In a tablespoonf ul oC butter.

Boast ducks must of coarse be younr. Stuff like the tarkey, but flavor with sage and finely chopped onion, and do not overdo them. Maka the gravy In the same way, only adding to it a wlae-giaasot otaret, or the Juice of half a lemon.

Wild grape Jelly Is better with ducks or game than cranberry aance. For chicken pie, cleaa and cut up three or four chickens aa you need, boll till a fork will penetrate, skim from the water ana set awsy to cool; boil dowa tne gravy well, skim off all fat, seasoa with- salt, pepper, celery salt and a little autmer. thicken with flour and batter a little.

TOO VIXT IT. It is so difficult to baa tbe under crust of chicken pte, that I prefer to roll out a crust a little longer than the bottom of the baking disa. bake it well and lay it in before putting In the obickea; but if you prefer tne eof I paste, line your dish with erust, put la a layer of chicken pecked neatly, pepper aad salt well: thea another layer above tbat nastl the dish is full, cover with crust thloker than you us for the dish covering, out a cross la the top with a sharp knife and turn back each corner, leaving a square hole; througn this hole fill the dish with the gravy, set Into the oven and bake till well don.

Jay the pieces ia the oven, skin side down, and bake till tender; then scrape out the flesb, rub It through a sieve, and mix with milk or cream and well-beaten egg to the consistence of rich custard. There can be no positive rule for this, as the aquasbea vary with season and kind. TWO KOOB TO a is sometimes given as a rula The best way Is to prepare tne squash the day before ualng. aad bake a little la a small tin wltnout crust; you can thea Judge of Its texture and flavor, ana improve either. Sweeten the mixture with sugar and a little molasses; flavor witb ginger ana oinnsmon to taste, adding a little salt always.

If you have no cream, melt some butter in milk, and use that. Line your ple-dlsn with tnia oruat, fill to tbe edge of the double crust about tbe bnm, and bake well. Strained apple pie is made of tart apple well boiled, rubbed throaira a sieve, sweetened with sugar and flavored with powdered cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and a pinon of salt Flavor highly; the apple ahould be dark with apioe. Bake ta open sheila like the squash. For cranberry tart, stew the berries welL rub through a sieve, aad auger enough to aweeten, and bake aa above.

-Thar la an egotism la the title of thia article Implying that one baa really learned heuseaeeplng. which on who feels herself aa Imperfect housekeeper Is loth to display, let being asked the question. It seem a slm pis matter to answer it. Thus I will say ia tne beginning that I never did larn for to far aa I have gon la 1U art aad sclenoe 1 have always found something bofor yet Unlearned. I suppose I might date my first efforts in the affair at a time when one of our playground waa an old burial plaoe from which the dead had been removed, where we "played house, with the added attraction of being forbidden Its precincts.

In this or that old grave, which mad a shelf on the aldo of tbe greater excavation, neither possible but nndreamed-of ghosts nor any sense ot the melancholy surrounding producing muoh diminution ot enjoyment over oua sratio Houaxxxxpcra. I nave always felt that this mlnfio business waa an Important element la the matter of real housekeeping. Baal work at housekeeping followed the play somewhat later; and perhaps tbe cast lesson waa given la the liberty to arrange a olosetf ul of china and glass on the occasion of a moving; climbing oa the shelves for some hidden dalntv. I afterwards broke down tbe whole in a promiscuous eraah aoea not impair my belief that taose shelves were arranged with effect. But laying tbe table waa an early gleasure; and much waa learned by the abit of tne family of not excluding the children from the general aociety, conversation and pleasures, I may have been about 10 year old whan I remember my latber pralaing for my ability to warm over cold meate with certain herb and spioes la a aavory fashion; and it was at about the same time that I waa allowed the Joy of skimming tbe milk, of holding the toast over the coal of occasionally making the tea.

I was 11 years old whea I received serloas leasons in bread-making, and at 12 I had made butter, custards. Junket, gingersnapa, and suoh other dishes aa pleased my childish fancy; I had fried buckwheat aad Snrove-Tuesday pancakes, and, IV I BAD WOT BOaSTKD fOWL, I knew enough to smile at the error of a young person brought no In a boarding-school, wno, wishing the oook to drees a tarkey and not to know that sne herself was unable to do It, said, "And maka the dressing with floor, and season it with balm and catnip and pennyroyal, yon know." A ooople of years later, and with no special pains taken, other than doing what was handy, finding time, too, for my doll for voraciona reading, and tor the wild romping which lata the foundations of unusual health, I had made strawberry and peach and plum preserves, batter ana bread puddings, soups and oyster stew had roasted meats, broiled steaks, prepared vegetables, aad learned bow to sweep and dust, to make bsda after Mia Ophelia' moat approved manner, to clean silver, to iroa a starched skirt tucked to the knees, to trim boo Beta, and to flniea my own gowaa after they ware eat and basted, aad could do almost earthing in the line of each tasks infinitely better than I could do It bow. I was aot a solitary example. Moi of my companions couia do as much, and some of them could do mora I do not mean that I bad doae all this habitually, but that had doae It enough to know how. ajtd Tar xoaa or this waa housekeeping.

1 really begaa to learn housekeeping In the days when, my mother being til, aad the burden of responsibility coming upoa me, I naea to hang over waat-verlwaa about with tbe tear running down my face, heavy with tbe aelflsh dejection brought by a senee of this reeponat-bilitv aad It fit or unfit assumption that. in my owa case I hsve found a large share or the weight of housekeeping to lie The first thing that I found best to do when I became an actual housekeeper on mv owa account, so to say, waa to establish a system and a set ot rulee growing oat of the requirements of the household. Meals mast be at suoh hours; servants must be ta aad the beck door closed at eueh hours; certain tasks must be aangaed to eertala day, this day to the washing and those days to the Ironing, this dsy to tbe silver cleaning and congenial work, aad that to the care of haila and parlor The next Imperative necessity, 1 need hardly say, was to find a plaoe for everything and to see that everything was kept In Its place: aad having eaosfiea myself atlas with a eook who never waste a partial whose spotless aad orderly closet are a perpetual pleasure, who lovxs a yaw aacrra, who keep the run of the provisions, ana a housemaid whose pride Is la dark corner aad peer less windows, housekeeping has become, so far aa I am oooceraed. as much play aa It used to be In the ola burial-place. I eaa hardly state anything else except that I have made it a practice to let my servants ao their work ia their owa way and at their owa beet convenience, only requiring It to be done, and always trying to respect their Idlosyncraele For I have found that If one wean a happy home one must endeavor to procure haopiaeas la the kitchen aa muoh as anywhere else: not merely because disorder and unquiet tnere will disturb tbe whole house, but because tbe Inmates of the kitchen have tbe right to their happiness, and It la the absolute duty of tbe housemlstress to see that they get it aa far ss It may be ia her power to ao so.

Any exertion made la this wise is aore to Jield a hundred fold. In the course ot my fty years I have never received what I held to be a higher compliment than tbe remark of a person wishing to engage service with me who said. In this connection, not as an amusing impertinence, but aa a matter of course. I have, heard you wall recommended," rr i Hava rocao it sebt not to Bag servants perpetually over tbe performance of their tasks, I hsve also fonnd it not amiss to satisry myself as ta the performance. Bays Ma Cbere Mere, the true heroine of Fredertke Bremer's most delightful novel: "It la only now and then, my dear Franlaka, that I make a house review, but It keeps everything in order and fills the domestic with respect, Set the clock only to tbe right time and It will go right of Itself, and thus we need not go about tiok-tackling like a pendulum.

Many ladies affect a great deal aad make themselves very Important with their bunch ot keys, running forsver into the kitchen and store-room all alut-tishness all bad management. Frauiak Much better la it for a lady to govern her house with her head than with her heel Maay ladies are forever scolding ana treading on tbe heel of their servants; that does no good. Servants must always have their liberty and rest; one must not inuxzle the ox that treads out the corn. Let your people be answerable for all they do; it is good for them as for the miatrea Have a hold upoa them either by heart or by honor, and give them anarrudgingiy whatever by right la theirs; for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Uut thea, three or four times a year, yet aot at aay regular time, come dowa upoa them like tbe day of Judgment; turn every stone and see into every corner, storm Ilk a thunder-temoest, and strike dowa hare and there at the right time.

It will TVK1T1 THa BOCSa OB WKXXn Many mistresee may prefer aot to storm like a tempest, aor to some dowa oa kitchen and cellar like tbe day of Judgment, Nevertheless the general principle of Ma Cbere Mere's philosophy is a good on It ta the principle upoa which any great general or executive officer must act; and there Is nothing the good housekeeper so muoh resembles as the good general. As it ia not necessary for bitn to handle a musket, neither la it necessary for her to eook and lroa; yet he must know how to do the one, aa she must know how to do th other, lie mast have all hie subordinate well aisotplinoa, all his re- sources at command eh can ud no less; Be must be able to bring his forces Into immediate action upon any emergency sh must be able to meet tbe calls ot company or of illness without evidenoe of surprise or confusion; and every year to the young housekeeper must be a victorious campaign, until habit makes her and her command only aa army of aooapation. BED-BOOK BOOK-SHELVES. BT BABAK ORBX 'BWKTZ. you know the time-honored Joke about my family?" my friend asked, looking up with a droll smile "They say that we never go to bed and never get up."

Br John Oreenlear Whittter. CCoPrrlahted. IHHS. and Published by Special Ar-ranroment with the Who of my young friends have read the sorrowful story of "Enoch Arden," so sweetly and simply told by the great English poet? It la the story of a mu who went to sea, leaving behind a aweet young wife aad little daughter. He was cast away oa a desert island, where be remained several years, when he was discovered and taken off by a passing vessel.

Coming back to hi native town, he found his wife -married to an old playmate a good man, rich and honored, and with whom ahe was living happily. The poor man, unwilling to causa her paJn, and perplexity, resolved not to make himself known to her, and lived and died alone. The story haa reminded me of a very similar story of my own Kew England neighborhood, which I bar often beard, aad which will try to. tell, not la poetry, like Alfred Tennyson's, but la my owa poor prose. I can assure my readere that in its main particulars It Is a true tale.

On bright auinmer morning, not more than four-scor years ago, David Matson, with nla young wife and his two healthy, barefooted boy stood on the bank ot the river near their Xbey were waiting for Pelattaa Curtis to come round the point with his wherry, and take the husband aad father to the Port, a few miles below. The Lively Turtle waa about to sail oa a voyage to Spain, aad David waa to go ta her aa mate. They stood there la th level morn-tag sunshine talking cheerfully; bat bad yea besa near enough; yoa could bay seen tears in Aaaa Matson's blue eye, for aba oved her husband aad knew there wa always danger oa the se And David's bluff, cheery voloe trembled a little now and thea, for th honest sailor loved his snug borne on the Merrimack, with tbe dear wife and her pretty boy But prsonUr the wherry came alongside, ana Dsvtd was Jost stepping into it, when he turned back to kiss his wife and two children once more. "In with you, a aid Pelafoah Curtis, "there ia ao time for kissing and each fool eries when the tide And ao they parted. Anna and th boys went baok to their home, and David to the port, whence be sailed off In the Lively Turtle.

And months passed, antuma followed summer, and winter tbe autumn, aad then spring came, and anon it wassammer oa the riverside, aad he did 80100010 back. And another year passed, and then the old sailors ana nanermen snook tneir needs aotemaiy and said that tbe Lively Turtle was a lost ship and would never come baok to port. And poor Anna had her bombasine gown dyed black and her straw bonnet trimmed in moarning ri boons, and thenceforth ahe waa known only aa tbe Widow Matsoa. Aad how was it ail thia time with. David himself? Now yoa must know that the Mohammedan people of Algiers ana Tripoli, and Mogadon aad bailee, oa tba Barbery coast, had been for a long time la tbe habit of fitting oat galley aad armed boat to seta upon the merchant vessels of Christian nations and make slave of their crews ana passenger.

Just aa men calling themselves Chnsuaaala America ware sending vessels to. Africa to catch black slave for their plaatation The Lively Turtle fell into the hands of one of these sea robbers aad the ore were taken ta Algiara aad sold la the aiarke plaoe aa slave poor David Matsoa among the rest. When a boy be had learned the trade ot hip-earpenter witn his father on tbe Merrimack, and bow he waa set to work In tbe doc yard His master, who waa naturally a kind man, aid not overwork him, fie baa daily his three loaves of bread, and when his clothing waa worn out it plaoe was supplied by the coarse oiota of wool and camel's hair wovea by the Berber women. Three hours before sunset he waa released from work, and Friday, which ia tbe Mohammedan Sabbath, was a day of entire res Once a year, at the seasoa called Baraadan, be waa left at lel-ure for a whole week. So time went on days, weeks, months, and year Ul dark hair became He a till dreamed of hia old home on the Merrimack and of his good Anna and the bov lie wondered whether they yet lived, what tney thought of htm, and what they were doing.

The hope of ever seeing them again grsw lalnter and fainter, and at laat nearly died out, and he resigned himself to his fate aa a Slavs for Ufa But one day a handsome middle-aged gentleman. In tbe dress of one of his own countryman, attended by a great officer of th a day, entered th shipyard and called up before him the American captives. The stranger was none other than Joel Barlow, commissioner of the United States to procure the liberation of slaves belonging to that government Ue took the men by the band aa they cam up and tola them that they were free Aa you might expect the poor fellows were srrateful; torn laughed, some wept for Joy. some shouted and sang and threw ud their cap while other with David Mataon among them, knelt down on the chips aad thanked God for th great deliverance. "This is a vary affecting seene, said the Commissioner, his eye I must keep tbe Impression of this for my Oolum-blad," and drawing out his tablet he proceeded to write on the spot an apostrophe to Freedom, which afterwards found a plaoe la bis great epic.

David Matsoa bad saved a little money during his captivity, by odd Jobs ana work oa holiday He got a passage to Malaga, where he bought a nice shawl for bis wife and a watch for each of his boy He thea went to the quay, where an American ship was lying just ready to sail for Boston. Almoet the first man be saw on board waa Pelattaa Curtis, who bad rowed him down to the port seven years before. He found that his old neighbor aid not know him, so changed was he with his long beard and Moorish drees, whereupon, without telling his name, be began to put queetlons about bis old home, and finally aaked him If he kaew a Mr Matsoa. I rather think I do," said PelaUxh; 'she's mv wife" "Your wife! cried the other. "She is mine, before God and man.

I am David Mataon, and ahe la the mother of my chU-dnsn." "And mine, tool" aald "I left her with a baby In her arm If you are David Mateo your right to bet Is outlawed; at any rate sne ia mine, and I am not the man to give her op. "Qod is great I' aald poor David TUatson, unconsoiouBly repeating the familiar words of Moslem submission. "Hie will be don I loved her, bat I shall never see her again. Oiva these, with my blessing, to the good woman and the boys," and he handed over, with a sigh, the little bundle containing the glfea for hie wife and children. Ha shook hands with his rival.

"Peia-tlah, be said, looking back as be left the ship, "be kind to Anna and my boy" "Ay, ay, slrlu responded the sailor In a careless tone. He watched the poor man passing slowly op tbe narrow street until out of sight. "It's a hard case for old David." be said, helping himself to a fresh cod of tobacco, "but I'm glad l'v seen the last of him." Whea Pelatian Curtis reached home be told Anna the story of her husband and laid his gifts in her lap. She did not shriek nor faint, for sue waa a healthy woman with strong nerves; but she stole away by herself and wept bitterly. She lived many years after, but could never be persuaded to wear tbe pretty shawl which the huaband of her youth had sent as his farewell gift There however, a tradition that.

In acoorcranoe with her dying wish, tt was wrapped about ber poor old shoulders ia the coiHa and burled with her. 'iie id buli's-eye watch, wtlci still la the possession of one of bsr grand children, is now all that remains to tell of Iayid Matsoa the lost man. TP WSSI A BOY AGAIN.

8. Mod am.) If were a boy again, endowed with the same wild passion for plucking watermelons In the dark of the moon, I would no doubt fall a victim to that overmastering passion aa 1 did before; bat looking at it as I do now, I would be wiser. Boye can not, however, have th mature Judgment of manhood without tbe experience and the rben matism that go with Ik So It ia better that la on childhood we may be able to eat a raw turnip with safety, and know something later on In lif 1 notice a great change fa myself while comparing my present condition with that of Joyous boyhood.

SKEBXDAirS -TXBKlBLB OATS." Br William TS. ajortl. Copyrigblecy B.S.Moaur.T Aa Impression has always prevailed among those Who do not know General Sheridan, that be ia a very profane maa. This idea waa encouraged by the writers of army anecdote and personal sketches during the war, who represented him a being full of lusty swagger and Strang oaths; aa a type of th ancient dragoon, brandishing a thirsty blade, and calling tor blood by tba bucketful, Uke th old buccaneers and roysterera of Shakespeare's timev Th same Idea was prevalent about Gen eral Custer, whereas he waa a gentle, quiet, blona-halred maa.

with a email white hand that wss kspt with car, and a musical voice that waa never raised above the tone of ordinary conversation, unless it waa needed to Inspire courage or dispel fear. Caster aever used an oath, never drank liquor, and did not us tobacco la aay form. He one tried to I earn to smoke, but the. maa to whom danger never brought dismay, and who en-Joyed a battle more than a ball, waa "downed" by a mild Havana cigar, aad after Spending tba rest of the day In bed, unconditionally aurreadered aad never attempted It again. In that remarkable poem with which we are all familiar.

Buchanan Bead describe Sheridan as riding down the" lines with "a terrible oath," which waa so soul -stirring as ta bring the demoralised and soattered soldier to a realizing sense of the responsibility of th occasion and to turn them from eheep to man. The General doea aot recollect exactly what he did eay than, but haa ao doubt that he aeed language appropriate to the circumstances, aad meant precisely what be said. On some other occasions during the war he found the ordinary vocabulary of conversation Inadequate to nla thoughts, and made use of language that could aot be misunderstood; bat tho yarna about hia profanity which were so widely quoted at the time have caused him much annoyance. The impression that his tongue was a mint tnat waa coiryiDiiiy coining imprecision Vi a uniana and awful rat tarn quits gen eral, and it grieved the hearts of a great many good people that a man they had learned to admire and love ahould tarnlah bis otherwise brilliant reputation by the use of blasphemy. Many of them wrote him to express their regret.

The letters came from clergymen and mothers of boys, who gently remonstrated and begged him to abandon the vicious habit, not only for the sake of his own soul, but for ths benefit of their sons, who admired him so much aad were inclined ta imitate even the vices of a great soldier. It is due to General Sheridan that this false Impression should be corrected, for he is not habitually profane and never swears except upon rare occasions of extraordinary provocation. Then be does not use the vulgar blsi-pbeiny of the bar-room, but coins phrase of pictnresqus and striking originality which produce an instantaneous fleet and a lasting Impression. 11 1 words fall like a piie-driver. lie does not uaathem for th sake of swearing, nor from the force of habit, and never utters th same oath twice, but to emphasise his laoguoge and to supply a force which the poverty ot his nauvo tongue lack Oa aome supreme occasions, at a great crisis, or an emergency, when the souls of fcis men werto be aroused, the ordinary adjective wouiJ airlie tee soluior witn do iiijre force a Xa-u? lanf.

aa alytu 10 phrases of the drawing-room net even reach their ear So much Is true of Sheridan, that at such times his tongue would frame a sermon in a single sentence that never failed to arrest a pan in and inspire with courage men who would have been deaf to the ordinary tone and manner of remonstrance or command. The retreat at Winchester wa one of these occasion A member of his stall. General George JL or "Sandy" as he was better known, who roue the famous twenty miles by Sherluan's side, out aid not get into the immortal poem, msy be consider ad pretty good authority, lie told me that when the General met the first group of stragglers, in full retreat, and was Informed by them that the euemy bad captured bis camp during bis absence, he turned white with rage and mortlncation. and exclaimed In tone that waa aot to be misunderstood: "Boy those of you who are not cowards. follow me; for 111 sleep In that camp to-night or I'll sleep In hell That was the "terrible oath" the author of "Sheridan's Bide" referred to.

and it had the effect that was Intended. Tbe soldiers knew that "Little Phil" was frightfully In earnest, and there wasn't a man in all the shattered army who wouldn't share his bed. I asked General Bhertdaa tha At her rlav if be knew the author of tbe poem. lea." he replied, "I knew him welt I first met Mr. Head at the headnnartera of General Boeecran last before the hiMi of Stone Biver.

I hava hearrl htm tell about it several time There have bean number of stories published a boat tne origin of tbe poem, but 1 will tell you tbe vue one, jost as si. lie a1 told It to Do you know that James Murdcck suggested the ldesr" ill ur dock, the elocutionist?"
