to all and every man, it is manifest, he died not equally for all men.

Let us consider the Texts themselves, 2 Pet. 2. 1. Some denied the Lord that bought them. How? in respect of the impetration of righteousnesse, or in respect of the application of it? Let the Text speake for it selfe. These false teachers lived in the Church, enjoyed the Ordinances of God, professed the faith, had known the way of truth, and escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Pet. 2. 20. they had turned from the holy Commandement delivered unto them, and it had happened unto them according to the true Proverbe, The dog is turned unto his own vomit againe, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. Therefore the death of Christ was applyed unto them, and they were partakers of the fruits and benefits thereof by some kind of faith. They that most urge this place, doe thus interpret it. Thus the Authors of the ''Synodal. def. Sent. Remonst. circ. Art''. 2. pag. 358. It is most evidently and invincibly manifest, that those false teachers, of whom Peter speakes, were truly bought of the Lord Jesus Christ, by the knowledge of whom they had escaped the pollutions of the world: or if thou hadst rather, that God the Father by the bloud of his only begotten Sonne had truly bought them, and by his Spirit truly regenerated them. Vorstius in like manner upon this place: first, he saith it is indifferent whether thou referre this word bought to Christ, or to God the Father. For both God the Father is said every where to have redeemed us, and Christ to have bought or redeemed us to God: and then he sends us to these places. Act. 20. 28. 1 Cor. 6. 20. Eph. 5. 25. Rev. 1. 5. More plainly ''in loc. com''. following, It is demanded, saith he, how the Lord may be said to have bought them, who deny him. For this seemes contrary to those places of Scripture, in which it is affirmed, that the faithfull alone, of whom the Catholike Church of Christ consisteth, be redeemed by Christ, Act. 20. 28. Eph. 5. 23. and that the faithfull do alwayes remain in the Church. 1 Joh. 2. 19. Some answer (saith he) that those who fall away, were never truly redeemed, nor did ever truly beleeve. Therefore they thinke these places and such like are to be taken not according to the truth of the thing; but according to the apearance or opinion: to wit because these Apostates professe the faith for a time, and so feeme both to themselves, and

318 the importance of its results can scarcely be exaggerated. Hitherto the enemies of the Prophet had continually taunted him with his inability to perform miracles; now at length it seemed as if a miracle had been wrought. The victory gained at Badr over a greatly superior force is ascribed in the Koran to the intervention of angels, an explanation which, it is needless to say, was unhesitatingly accepted by all Muslims. On his return to Medina, Mahomet ventured on a series of high-handed measures which struck terror into all his opponents. Several persons who had offended him were assassinated by his order. At the same time the Banū Ḳainuḳā', one of the Jewish clans resident at Medina, were banished from the place; their houses and valuables became the property of the Muslims.

Meanwhile the Meccans, irritated by their defeat and fearing for the safety of their caravans, on which they were dependent for the means of subsistence, had determined to make an attack in force. Early in the year 625 an army of about 3000 men, commanded by Abū Sufyān, marched from Mecca and encamped near a hill called Uḥud, a few miles to the north of Medina. A considerable proportion of the Medinese, in particular 'Abdallāh ibn Ubayy, wished to remain on the defensive; but Mahomet, with less than his usual prudence, rejected their advice. Although the force at his disposal scarcely numbered 1000 men, he resolved to make a sortie and assail the Meccans in the rear. At first this bold plan appeared likely to prove successful. He was able to take up a strong position on the slopes of Uḥud, whence the Muslims charged the enemy and drove them back with some loss. But the Meccan horsemen, led by Khālid ibn al-Walīd, succeeded in outflanking the Muslims, who were at once thrown into confusion. Some fled to Medina, while others fought their way back to the hill. Among these latter was Mahomet himself, who for a while remained hidden in a ravine. Meanwhile a rumour that he was slain had spread in the ranks of the Meccans, and for this reason, it would appear, they did not take advantage of their victory. Supposing that they had sufficiently avenged the blood shed at Badr, they made no attempt to attack Medina but prepared to march homewards. Of the Muslims only about 70 men were left dead on the battle-field; one of these was Ḥamza, the Prophet's uncle, a valiant warrior, it is true, but not by any means a model of piety. Hind, the wife of Abū Sufyān and mother of the Caliph Mu'āwiya, had, together with a number of other women, accompanied the Meccan army; remembering that Ḥamza had slain some of her nearest relatives at Badr, she took vengeance on his corpse by tearing his liver with her teeth. Such barbarity was quite unusual among the

629] various other foreign potentates, summoning them to recognise his divine mission. But the evidence for this story is by no means satisfactory, and the details present so many suspicious features that it may be doubted whether the narrative rests on any real basis.

Soon after his return to Medina, Mahomet set out on an expedition against Khaibar, where the banished Banu-n-Naḍīr had taken refuge. The Jews, as usual, shrank from a conflict in the open plain and shut themselves up in their fortresses, which fell one by one into the hands of the Muslims. The vanquished were compelled to surrender all their wealth, which was very considerable, but they were permitted to remain at Khaibar as cultivators of the soil, on condition that half of the produce should be annually made over to the Muslim authorities. This is the first instance of an arrangement which was afterwards adopted in most parts of the Muslim Empire where the population consisted of non-Muslims.

Early in the year 629 Mahomet, with about 2000 followers, carried out his project of visiting Mecca as a pilgrim, in accordance with the treaty of Ḥudaibiya. For the stipulated three days he was allowed to occupy the sacred city and to perform the traditional ceremonies in the sanctuary. The scene must have been a curious one, never to be repeated — the great preacher of monotheism publicly doing homage at a shrine filled with idols. The sight of Mahomet's power deeply impressed the Meccan aristocracy, and two of the most eminent among them, Khālid ibn al-Walīd and 'Amr ibn al-'Aṣ, took the opportunity of going over to Islām. Both of these men afterwards played a prominent part in the building up of the Muslim Empire.

A few months later Islām for the first time came into conflict with the great Christian power against which it was destined to struggle, with scarcely any intermission, for a period of eight centuries. In the autumn of the year 629 Mahomet despatched a force of 3000 men, commanded by his adopted son Zaid ibn Ḥāritha, to the north-western frontier of Arabia. The reason which most of the historians assign for this expedition is that a messenger sent by the Prophet had been assassinated, a year earlier, by an Arab chieftain named Shuraḥbīl, who owned allegiance to the Byzantine Emperor. But since Ibn Iṣḥāḳ, the oldest writer who records the expedition, does not allege any pretext for it, the correctness of the aforesaid explanation is at least doubtful. In any case it is difficult to believe that Mahomet contemplated an attack on the Byzantine Empire, for ignorant as he was of foreign countries he must have been aware that an army of 3000 men would be wholly inadequate for such a purpose. When the Muslim force reached the neighbourhood of the Dead Sea, they found themselves, to their great surprise, confronted by a much larger army composed partly of Byzantines and partly of Arabs subject to the Emperor. After some hesitation Zaid ibn Ḥāritha determined to fight. The battle took place at Mu'ta,

324 a village to the east of the Dead Sea. The Muslims fought bravely but were totally defeated; among the slain was their leader Zaid and Ja'far, a first cousin of the Prophet. The recently converted Khālid ibn al-Walīd, who had accompanied the expedition, finally assumed the command and succeeded in bringing back the greater part of the army safely to Medina.

This reverse was quickly followed by a great success in another quarter. The truce of ten years, established by the treaty of Ḥudaibiya, might perhaps have been observed faithfully if the matter had depended solely on the two contracting parties, Mahomet and the Ḳuraish. But each party was in alliance with certain Bedouin tribes, and, as anyone might have foreseen, a feud among the allies was likely to produce a general rupture. In fact the truce had lasted only a year and a half when Mahomet's allies the Khuzā'a were attacked by a small tribe, the Bakr ibn 'Abd-Manāt, who likewise dwelt in the neighbourhood of Mecca and happened to be in alliance with the Ḳuraish. Some members of the Ḳuraish were accused, rightly or wrongly, of assisting the Bakr ibn 'Abd-Manāt, whereupon the Khuzā'a naturally complained to Mahomet that the terms of the treaty had been violated. The Ḳuraish, on their part, sent Abū Sufyān to Medina, in the hope that hostilities might be averted. What passed between Abū Sufyān and Mahomet on this occasion it is, of course, impossible to know with certainty, but it appears highly probable that, as several modern historians have suggested, the ambassador of the Ḳuraish, realising the superiority of the Muslim forces, agreed to facilitate the surrender of Mecca, while the Prophet promised to avoid all unnecessary bloodshed. No sooner had Abū Sufyān returned to his native city than Mahomet collected an army of about 10,000 men, chiefly Bedouins, and marched southwards. But he abstained from declaring war against the Ḳuraish and endeavoured to conceal the real object of his expedition. On the way he was met by his uncle 'Abbās, who at length professed himself a convert to Islām and joined the Prophet's army. About the end of January 630 the Muslims were encamped within sight of Mecca. No one could now doubt what was Mahomet's aim, but very few of the Meccans shewed any inclination to risk their lives in defence of the city. With the exception of a small band who perished in a fruitless skirmish, the citizens, following the advice of Abū Sufyān, threw away their arms, retired into their houses and suffered the conqueror to enter unopposed. Mahomet, on taking possession of the city, at once proclaimed a general amnesty, from which only ten persons were by name excluded; even of these the majority soon obtained pardon. He then proceeded to destroy the idols with which the city abounded; it was even thought

The table has two headings, one which runs horizontally and represents the quantity of aqueous vapour ($\text{W}$), and another that runs vertically and represents the quantity of carbonic acid ($\text{K}$) in the atmosphere.

Quite different from this dark heat is the behaviour of the heat from the sun on passing through new parts of the earth's atmosphere, The first parts of the atmosphere exert without doubt a selective absorption of some ultra-red rays, but as soon as these are extinguished the heat seems not to diminish as it traverses new quantities of the gases under discussion, This can easily be shown fer aqueous vapour with the help of Langley's actinometric observations from Mountain Camp and Lone Pine in Colorado. These observations were executed at Lone Pine from the 18th of August to the 6th of September 1882 at 7h 15m and 7h 45m, at 11h 45m, and 12h 15m, and at 4h 15m and 4h 45m At Mountain Camp the observations were carried out from the 22nd to the 25th of August at the same times of the day, except that only one observation was performed in the morning (at 8h 0m). I have divided these observations into two groups for each station according to the humidity of the air. In the following little table are quoted, first the place of observation, and after this under $$\text{D}$$ the mean date of the observations (August 1882), under $$\text{W}$$ the quantity of water, under $$\text{I}$$ the radiation observed by means of the actinometer, under $\text{I}_1$, the second observation of the same quantity.

 to his vessel which had remained anchored in the harbor and set sail for Athens.

On his homeward journey the goddess Minerva appeared to Theseus and told him that he must leave Ariadne at Naxos, an island celebrated for its vineyards, for the Fates had decreed that she should not go with him to Athens. Such barbarous conduct on the part of Theseus must have been past all understanding to poor Ariadne. Ræ has painted a very beautiful picture of her as she sits by the rocks on the sea-shore sadly gazing out to sea, for she was a very sweet girl and not at all like her wicked father. But Theseus suffered also for his seemingly heartless desertion, for he had promised his father, Ægeus, that if he succeeded in subduing the Minotaur he would exchange his black sail for a white one. With one thing and another happening, Theseus forgot to change his sail, and the poor old man watching the black wing loom in the distance, supposed his son to be lost, and threw himself into the sea. This sea was henceforth called the Ægean Sea in memory of the tragic fate of Ægeus. In the meantime Bacchus, the God of the Vineyards, came along decked in ivy and vine leaves, and discovered the forsaken Ariadne asleep on a rock, worn out with sorrow and weeping. The god was so captivated by the beauty of the Cretan maid that he did everything in his power to make her forget her unhappiness, even marrying her and promising at her death to give her a place among the gods. He then suspended her wedding crown in the sky, where it still hangs, although its jewels have grown so large that they resemble stars.

 PELERINE

SHAWL

IN

CROCHET.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER.

THE Pelerine Shawl is a very convenient garment either for the house or country. It is executed in crochet with a Chinchilla wool for the center ; the border and fringe must be of a solid color, as Solferino, blue, violet, orange. Start a chain of ninety-one stitches. On the first row make three Dc. stitches in each stitch, separated by one Ch. stitch ; all the pelerine is made in this way. Return upon your work at each row without cutting your wool. After the first row, in place of passing the hook in the stitch to make the Dc. stitches, it is passed in the first opening. On the tenth row you must commence to enlarge. Make six Dc. stitches in the center opening, which must be separated by two Ch. stitches after the first three Dc. stiches. At the end of each row two Dc. stitches must be made in the last stitch-forty rows Chinchilla and seven rows solid color will make the point. The point finished, crochet one row all around it, with the exception of the space taken by the collar, with the solid color, three Dc. stitches and one chain. It is to this row that the fringe must be attached ; at the three points it is necessary to put six Dc. stitches in each VOL. XLI.- 16

 THE

MADELINE

WRAPPER.

BY EMILY H. MAY.

THIS comfortable and elegant wrapper can , be made of either silk, delaine, or any other material which is most convenient. The trimming is composed of silk, quilted with white in diamonds. The silk should be of a contrasting color with the dress, such as a crimson or blue trimming on a dress of gray. For mourning, a black delaine, with a trimming of black silk quilted in white, is very beautiful. The wrapper should be confined at the waist by a cord and tassel.

The wrapper should be lined. The trimming is to be shaped as seen in the design and then quilted, fitting it to the wrapper and finishing at the top with a large silk cord.

The collar must be commenced upon the chain of ninety-one stitches, making three Dc. stitches and one Ch. like the center, being careful to observe the enlargement at the center and diminishment at the end of the row, in order to give it a rounded form. This collar is composed of four rows solid color and one row of scallops of Chinchilla, which are made

by taking five Ch. stitches in each opening, and a second row of scallops, of the solid color taken in the third stitch of the preceding scallop. To make the fringe, cut the solid colored wool in pieces nine inches in length ; double the pieces, pass the loop through each stitch, pass the ends through the loop and draw them tight. A zephyr cord and tassel finishes it at the neck.

 GLASS

BEAD- BORDERS.- CROCHET LACE.

THIS is worked on canvas, the leaves of the star being in three different kinds of white beads. The center row of leaves is in the clear, transparent white, the second row is in the opal, or milky white, and the outer row is in the opaque. The leaves are worked by threading strings of beads, the length of the leaf diverging from the center, where they will lie one over the other, and thus produce a rich raised leaf, which has a handsome effect when they are all completed. The different kinds of beads keeping the rows of leaves distinct and clear add much to the appearance of the work. The small center on which the hook is fixed is worked in Berlin wool, either scarlet, green, blue, or any color which may correspond with

the general furniture. The intervals between the leaves at the outer edge must also be filled in with the same wool. When the ornamental part of the work is completed, a true circle, the right size, must be cut in a firm cardboard, and the canvas evenly stretched over. The back must be lined with silk, either white or the same color as the ground, and the edge finished with a cord. Another way of working the same star may be adopted if preferred, and that is to substitute crimson velvet for the canvas, which has a very pretty effect with the white beads, and saves the trouble of filling in the ground. In this case it will not require the cord at the edge, as the velvet will turn over. It is suspended by a loop of ribbon with a bow at top.

BEAD - BORDERS. BY MRS. WARREN.

In the front of this number we give three beautiful patterns for glass bead- borders. They are numbered 4, 5, and 6. In the February number we gave three other patterns, numbered 1, 2, and 3. These six borders are suitable for a variety of purposes. No. 1 is particularly adapted for the sides of a foot-stool. If not deep enough, they could be easily made so by adding a few more rows of beads, in rows of alternate colors, and would look well to be finished with fringe No. 1 or 3. Nos. 2, 5, and 6 will make very beautiful sides for toilet or

glove-boxes. The centers of any of the mats are well adapted for the tops, and may be made to any size required. The best way is to make a cardboard box of the proper size, and work the beads to the size to match, and stitch the bead- work upon it by passing the needle carefully between the beads ; afterward to line the box, to hide the stitches. Nos. 3 and 4 may be made into bracelets ; and if the colors are chosen to correspond with the trimmings of the dress , they have a very beautiful and rich appearance.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER.

THIS purse is not only pretty, but also strong and useful. It is in simple crochet, easily executed by any lady accustomed to the use of the crochet needle. The little tassels may be either formed of the thin large beads, which must be solid, for fear of breakage, or they may be made of silk. If preferred, a clasp may be substituted for the string, but the purse is complete 260

The pattern should be in one color, and the ground in the other, the silk being carried through each stitch at the back when not required. The purse, it will be seen, is easily made.

 FAMILY PASTIMES. PROOF THAT FLAME IS HOLLOW.-Pour some spirit of wine into a watch-glass, and inflame it ; place a straw across this flame, and it will only be ignited and charred at the outer edge; the middle of the straw will be uninjured, for there is no ignited matter in the center of the flame. Or, introduce into the middle of the flame one end of a glass tube, when the vapor will rise through it, and may be lighted at the other end of the tube.

FAMILY PASTIMES. STOOL OF REPENTANCE.-Having placed a stool or chair in the center of the room, one takes her seat upon it, and another called the "judge" stands near her, having previously asked in a whisper of all the rest, what particular offence they charge the repentant one with. Of course the replies must be given in a low voice, or she would hear them. The judge then tells her of one of the crimes with which she is charged, and she must guess who accuses her of it, or forfeit. If she guesses rightly, the accuser must take her place, when the rest proceed to bring their accusations against her. BUFF WITH THE WAND.-Having blindfolded one of the party, the rest take hold of each other's hands in a circle, around him, he holds a long stick. The players then skip around him once, and stop. Buffy then stretches forth his wand and directs it by chance ; and the person whom it touches must grasp the end presented, and call out three times in a feigned voice. If Buffy recognize the voice they change places ; but if not, he must continue blind till making a right guess.

RECEIPTS FOR SOUPS. White Soup.- Take two quarts of the stock, and boil the crumb of a roll in a gill of milk; beat the yolks of six hard-boiled eggs with three ounces of sweet almonds very well in a mortar, with a little cayenne pepper, and add the whole to the soup ; it may be poured over slices of French roll sent up in the tureen. White soup may also be varied with rice. Wash two or three ounces of the best kind, blanch it in boiling water, and drain it ; add the rice to the soup and let it stew until it swells ; or thicken it with ground rice, bruised sago, tapioca, or arrowroot. If macaroni is used, it should be added soon enough to get perfectly tender, after soaking in cold water. Vermicelli may be added after the thickening, as it requires less time to do. If the stock has been made with fowl, take out the white portion when well stewed, pound the meat in a mortar, and add it to the soup-which is a great improvement. It is the fashion now to send up grated Parmesan cheese with white soup; but it partly destroys that delicacy which ought to be the distinctive property of all white soups. Veal Broth.- Stew a knuckle of veal of four or five pounds in three quarts of water, with two blades of mace, an onion, a head of celery, and a little parsley, pepper, and salt; let the whole simmer very gently until the liquor is reduced to two quarts; then take out the meat, when the mucilaginous parts are done, and serve it up with parsley and butter. Add to the broth either two ounces of rice separately boiled, or of vermicelli, put in only long enough to be stewed tender. Almond Soup.-Make the stock of veal, or an old fowl; then put into a mortar one pound of sweet almonds, with a few of the bitter sort, the yolks of six hard-boiled eggs, and a little white pepper; pound this very fine, put it into the stock, and let it simmer gently, putting in a little cold broth as it boils away. Strain it off; thicken it with butter kneaded in flour, and, just before serving, add a teacupful of good cream.

RECEIPTS.

Winter Soup.-Take carrots, turnips, and the heart of a head of celery, cut into dice, with a dozen button onions; half-boil them in salt and water, with a little sugar in it; then throw them into the broth ; and, when tender, serve up the soup : or use rice, dried peas and lentils, and pulp them into the soup to thicken it. With many of these soups, small suet dumplings, very lightly made, and not larger than an egg, are boiled either in broth or water, and put into the tureen just before serving, and are by most persons thought an improvement, but are more usually put into plain gravy soup than any other, and should be made light enough to swim in it. Dried or Split Pea-Soup.-The liquor in which a leg of mutton or half a calf's-head has been boiled will make an excellent stock for this soup ; but if that of pork be used, and it be much salted, part of the liquor should be thrown away and the remainder mixed with fresh water. Put on the stock to boil, slice into it a head of celery, a carrot and turnip, with two onions ; boil a sufficient quantity of peas in fresh water, putting them in dry when the water boils quickly; when they will mash throw them into the broth with a crust of bread the size of a roll; let them boil for halfan hour, then rub the whole through a sieve, season to taste. Some dried mint should be sent to table in a castor. Bouillon.-This is the common soup of France, and is in use in almost every French family. Put beef into an earthen stock-pot in the proportion of one pound to one quart of cold water. Place it at the side of the fire and let it become slowly hot. By so doing the fibre of the meat is enlarged, the gelatine is dissolved, and the savorous parts of the meat are diffused through the broth. When the obIject is simply to make a good, pure-flavored beef broth, part of the shin or leg will answer the purpose, adding some vegetables, and letting it stew four or five hours ; but if the meat is to be eaten, the rump or leg-of-mutton piece should be used. White Potato Soup.-Take large, mealy potatoes peeled raw, and sliced with half the number of onions, seasoned with white pepper, mace, and salt, and stewed with two pounds of the scrag of mutton or veal in three quarts of water during four hours; then skimmed and strained. Then add three pints of new milk and half an ounce of bitter almonds pounded. Rub the potatoes through a tammy. Let it boil before being served up, but keep stirring it to prevent the almonds from oiling. Rice Soup.-Take white stock, season it, and either whole rice boiled till very tender, or the flour of rice may be used ; one pound and a quarter will be sufficient for two quarts of broth. www. TABLE RECEIPTS. Stewed Beefsteaks.-Put the steak with a lump of butter into a stewpan over a slow fire, and turn it until the butter has become a fine white gravy, then pour it into a basin, and put more butter to the steak. When the steak is nicely done, take it out, return all the gravy into the stewpan, and fry the steak; then add it to the gravy in the stewpan, with a tablespoonful of wine, and a shalot finely sliced; stew it for ten minutes, and serve it up. Or, fry the steak slightly at first, then put it into half-pint of water, an onion sliced, a spoonful of walnut ketchup, pepper and salt, cover it close, thicken it with flour and butter, and serve it up very hot. Jelly of Pigs' Feet and Ears.-Clean and prepare, then boil them in a very small quantity of water till every bono can be taken out; throw in half a handful of chopped sage, the same of parsley, and a seasoning of pepper, salt, and a little mace in fine powder ; simmer till the herbs are scalded, then pour the whole into a melon-form. Serve when cold.

TABLE RECEIPTS.- MEATS

Fricasseed Calf's-head.- Take the remains of a boiled calf's-head, one pint and a half of the liquor in which the head was boiled, one blade of pounded mace, one onion, minced, a bunch of savory herbs, salt and white pepper to taste, thickening of butter and flour, the yolks of two eggs, one tablespoonful of lemon-juice, forcemeat balls. Remove all the bones from the head, and cut the meat into nice square pieces. Put one pint and a half of the liquor it was boiled in into a saucepan, with mace, onion, herbs, and seasoning in the above proportion ; let this simmer gently for three-quarters of an hour, then strain it and put in the meat. When quite hot through, thicken the gravy with a little butter rolled in flour, and, just before dishing the fricassee, put in the beaten yolks of eggs and lemon-juice ; but be particular, after these two latter ingredients are added, that the sauce does not boil, or it will curdle. Garnish with forcemeat balls and curled slices of broiled bacon. To insure the sauce being smooth, it is a good plan to dish the meat first, and then to add the eggs to the gravy ; when these are set, the sauce may be poured over the meat. Fricasseed Turkey.- Take the remains of cold roast or boiled turkey, a strip of lemon-peel, a bunch of savory herbs, one onion, pepper and salt to taste, one pint of water, four tablespoonfuls of cream, the yolk of an egg. Cut some slices from the remains of a cold turkey, and put the bones and trimmings into a stewpan, with the lemonpeel, herbs, onion, pepper, salt, and the water; stew for an hour, strain the gravy, and lay in the pieces of turkey. When warm through, add the cream and the yolk of an egg; stir it well round, and, when getting thick, take out the pieces, lay them on a hot dish, and pour the sauce over. Garnish the fricassee with small pieces of toasted bread. Celery or cucumbers, cut into small pieces, may be put in the sauce; ifthe former, it must be boiled first. Beefsteak with Vegetables.-Cut the steak about two and a half inches thick; dredge it with flour, and fry it in butter, of a fine brown. Lay it in a stewpan, and pour water into the frying-pan; let it boil, and add it to the steak, which is rendered richer by this process ; slice in turnips, carrots, celery, and onions, adding pepper, salt, and a little mace. It should be highly seasoned, and sent to table with the surface ornamented with forcemeat balls, carrots and turnips cut into shapes, and sometimes with onion fritters, the vegetables to be put round it. Mirason of Beef.-Take a few slices of cold roast beef, three ounces ofbutter, salt and pepper to taste, three onions, half-pint of gravy. Slice the onions and put them into a frying pan with the cold beef and butter ; place it over the fire, and keep turning and stirring the ingredients to prevent them burning. When of a pale brown, add the gravy and seasoning; let it simmer for a few minutes, and serve very hot. This dish is excellent and economical. Average cost, exclusive of the meat, twelve cents. Seasonable, at any time. To Mince Teal.-Mince cold roast veal ; put to it a very little lemon-peel shred, a little grated nutmeg, some salt, and four or five spoonfuls of either broth, milk, or water ; simmer these gently with the meat, but take care not to let it boil, and add a bit of butter rubbed in flour. Put sippets of thin toasted bread, cut into a three-cornered shape, round the dish. Fried crumbs of bread lightly strewed over, or served in little heaps on the meat, are an improvement to the look and flavor. A little shred of shalot may occasionally be added. Beefsteak with Oysters.-Cut the steak rather thick ; brown it in a frying-pan with butter. Add half-pint of water, an onion sliced, pepper and salt, cover the pan close, and let it stew very slowly for one hour; then add a glass of port wine, a little flour, and a dozen or two of oysters, their liquor having been previously strained and put into the stewpan.

FOR THE TABLE.

MEATS, ETC. , FOR THE TABLE. To Stew a Breast of Veal.- Cut a breast, or a portion, in pieces; fry them with a little butter, an onion, and a cabbage-lettuce shred small ; when browned, add a little flour, shake it well together; then add a small quantity of broth or water; let it stew gently. When the veal is three parts done, take a quart of peas, put them in water, and handle them with a little butter, so that they adhere together; take away nearly all the gravy from the veal, and put in the peas. When both are done add pepper, salt, and a little pounded sugar ; thicken the peas with flour and butter, dish up the veal, and pour the peas over. There should be very little sauce with the peas. Cut a handsome piece, put it into a stewpan with a piece of butter, a pint of water, an onion, a stick of celery, and some white pepper and salt ; let it draw gently for some time, then cover it with hot water, and allow it to stew until perfectly tender. Remove any skin that may be about it, and thicken a part of the stock with cream, flour, and butter ; cover it with the sauce, and serve it up. Mushrooms pickled white may be added to the sauce, or stewed celery. Or:-Cut the pieces into handsome sizes, put them into a stewpan, and pour some broth or water over them: add a bunch of herbs, a blade or two of mace, some pepper, an onion, and an anchovy ; stew till the meat is tender, thicken with butter and flour, and add a little ketchup. The whole breast may be stewed, after cutting off the two ends, or dividing it into pieces, which should be first slightly browned. Cut the veal into handsome pieces, put them into a jar with one or two dozen oysters, and their liquor strained, and a piece of butter rolled in flour ; put the jar into a kettle of water, and let it stew until tender. If the veal has been cooked, merely warm it up with the oysters in white sauce. Serve the sweetbread whole upon it, which may either be stewed or parboiled, and then covered with crumbs, herbs, pepper and salt, and browned in a Dutch oven ; or, if you have a few mushrooms, truffles, and morels, stew them with it, and serve. Boiled breast of veal, smothered with onion sauce, is an excellent dish. Meat Pies.-Raised pies may be made of any kind of flesh, fish, fruit, or poultry, if baked in a wall of paste instead of a baking-dish ; but they are generally eaten cold, and made so large and savory as to remain a long time before being consumed, for which reason they also bear the name of " standing pies." In making them the cook should always take care to have a good stock that will jelly, made from the bones and trimmings, to fill up the pie when it comes from the oven, and also that when cold there may be enough jelly. For want of this precaution pies become dry before they can be eaten. The materials are of course frequently varied, but the mode of preparation is so nearly the same as not to require the recital of more than a few prominent receipts. Seasoning for Raised Pies.-Three pounds of salt dried and pounded, three ounces of white pepper, half-ounce of cayenne pepper, two ounces of cloves, two ounces of allspice, one ounce of basil, one ounce of marjoram, one ounce of thyme, one ounce of nutmeg, one and a half-ounce of mace. Pound the spices and herbs by themselves, and sift through a fine sieve ; then mix with the salt, and put away in a stoppered bottle: three-quarters of an ounce is sufficient for one pound of farce, and half-ounce for one pound of boned game. Jelly for Meat or Raised Pies.-Take a quart of real gravy, dissolve two ounces of isinglass in a little of it ; add the remainder with a quarter of a pint of tarragon vinegars boil all together for a quarter of an hour. Clarify it with the whites of six eggs, then pass it through a bag,

 DESSERTS. - MISCELLANEOUS RECEIPTS.

Minced Mutton -Mince dressed meat very finely, season it, make a very good gravy, warm the meat up in it, and serve with fried bread round the dish, or with poached eggs. Or:-Mince cold leg of mutton freed from the skin and fat, warm it with stewed cucumbers, taking care that { it does not burn after the meat is put in.

DESSERTS. A Rich Rice Pudding.—Boil half-pound of rice in water with a little bit of salt, till quite tender ; drain it dry ; mix it with the yolks and whites of four eggs, quarter of a pint of cream with two ounces of fresh butter melted in it, four ounces of marrow or veal kidney suet, finely chopped, three-quarters of a pound of currants, two spoonfuls of brandy, nutmeg, and grated lemon-peel. When well mixed, put a paste round the edge, and fill the dish. Slices of candied orange, lemon, and citron may be added if approved. Bake it for one hour in a moderate oven. A Good Custard Pudding.-A plain but good custard pudding may be made by boiling a quart of milk until it is reduced to a pint ; take from it a few spoonfuls, and let it cool, mixing with it very perfectly one spoonful of flour, which add to the boiling milk, and stir it until quite cool. Beat four yolks and two whites of eggs, strain them, and stir them into the milk with two ounces of moist sugar, two or three spoonfuls of wine, and a little grated nutmeg. Bake it half an hour, or until it is firm and brown. Apple Puffs.-Pare and core the fruit, and either stew them in a stone jar on a hot hearth, or bake them. When cold, mix the pulp of the apple with sugar and grated lemon-peel, taking as little of the apple-juice as you can. Bake them in thin paste, in a quick oven; quarter of an hour will do them if small. Orange or quince marmalade is a great improvement. Cinnamon pounded or orangeflower water may be used as a variety. Bread Pudding.-Take a pint of bread-crumbs and cover them with milk ; add some cinnamon, lemon-peel, and grated nutmeg; put them on a gentle fire until the crumbs are well soaked. Take out the cinnamon and lemon-peel, beat the crumbs and milk well together, add four eggs well beaten, one ounce of butter, two ounces of sugar, half-pound of currants, and boil it an hour. Cocoonut Pudding.-Break the shell of a middle-sized cocoa-nut so as to leave the nut as whole as you can; grate it with a grater after having taken off the brown skin ; mix with it three ounces of white sugar powdered, and about half of the peel of a lemon; mix well together with the milk, and put it into a tin lined with paste, and bake it not too brown. Lemon Puffs.-Pound and sift half-pound of loaf- sugar, grate the rind of one large lemon or two small ones; then whip up the white ofan egg to a froth, and mix all together to the consistency of good paste ; cut it into shapes, and bake upon writing-paper, being careful not to handle the paste: the oven must be very slow for this purpose.

MISCELLANEOUS RECEIPTS. To Hasten the Blowing of Flowers.- The following liquid has been used with great advantage for this purpose :-Sulphate or nitrate of ammonia, four ounces ; nitrate of potash, two ounces ; sugar, one ounce; hot water, one pint ; dissolve and keep in a well-corked bottle. For use put eight or ten drops of this liquid into the water of a hyacinth-glass or jar for bulbous-rooted plants, changing the water every ten or twelve days. For flowering plants in pots, a few drops should be added to the water employed to moisten them. The preference should be given to rain water for this purpose.

269

To Destroy Insects on Flowers.-Water the plants with a decoction of tobacco, which quickly destroys. Independently of the removal of the insects, tobacco water is considered by many persons to improve the verdure of the plant. Prepare it as follows: Take one pound of roll tobacco and pour over it three pints of water, nearly boiling. Let it stand for some hours before it is used. To Set a Chalk Drawing.- A very weak solution of gumwater should be poured over it, allowing it to drip off by holding the drawing up by one end over a plate. Care must be taken that no part of the drawing is allowed to remain without the gum-water passing over it or it will look spotty. A better way is to apply a weak solution of isinglass at the back of the drawing. To Test Mauve and Solferino Colors.-These colors are sometimes very fleeting. Obtain if possible a small piece of the material which you wish to purchase, soak it in vinegar, and then leave it to dry. If the color has flown, it will not have been the genuine : if it remain unchanged, you will be assured of its continuing durable to the end of its wear. To Restore Violet Ribbon.- Strong soda-water-that is to say, water with rather a large proportion of soda mixed in it-will often restore violet ribbon, and it might have the same effect with the blue. The ribbon should be dipped in the water, then taken out, and immediately ironed with rather a hot iron. To Choose a Carpet.-Always select one the figures of which are small ; for in this case the two webs in which the carpeting consists are always much closer interwoven than in carpets where large figures upon ample grounds are represented.

FASHIONS FOR MARCH. FIG. I-WALKING DRESS OF STONE-COLORED WATERED SILK. There is a quilling of black ribbon down the front of the dress and around the bottom.

FASHIONS

around the neck, which is slightly open on both sides. Armlets surrounded by plaitings of cloth. FIG. VI. - BONNET, from Mrs. Cripps, 312 Canal street, New York, of lilac silk, laid on the foundation plain, the left side ornamented with lace, arranged in fan shape intermingled with velvet. Pansies, with pendant balls tipped with steel, long green velvet leaves, transparent cape covered with a fall of broad white lace.

ANOTHER NEW STYLE OF STRAW HAT, from Genin's, trimmed with groseille velvet, and a white hanging feather at the side headed with a jet, bows in fan fashion at the ears. FIG. IX.- RIDING HABIT OF DARK BROWN CLOTH.- The skirt should be of one yard and a quarter in length when hemmed. The body fits closely to the figure with square skirts behind. Coat sleeve fitting the arm loosely, but closed at the wrist with a velvet cuff. Small linen collar and neck-tie; brown Swedish gloves ; low-crowned hat and brown veil. FIG. X.- THE MARIANA OR POLONAISE DRESS OF GREEN SILK, with one rather wide ruffle at the bottom. The front is ornamented with ruches of silk, and another ruche which extends down the back to the waist, passes over the shoulders down the front on each side of the en-tablier trimming, and above the flounce. Pagoda sleeves open far up the arm, and trimmed to correspond with the skirt. White silk bonnet, ornamented with a green bird of Paradise. FIG. XI.- LUCIA DRESS OF FRENCH GRAY SILK.-There is a quilling of black silk extending from the shoulders down the sides of the front, and around the bottom of the dress. The front of the dress and sleeves are cut out in the shape seen in the engraving and bound with black silk. FIG. XII.- SWISS CAPE.- This elegant novelty is made of clear white muslin, laid in small box-plaits. The neck of the fichu is finished by a narrow ruche of tulle, between which runs a row of narrow black velvet. Up the front there is a row of buttons. A band of black velvet passes across the shoulders in the manner of bretelles, narrowing as it descends to the waist, both in front and at the back. In front a bow and ends of black velvet, and at the back of the waist a corresponding bow without ends. GENERAL REMARKS.-The costumes of the season are remarkable for their fullness. Dresses present a great variety oftrimming on the skirts. The bodies of those intended for dishabille are still made plain, buttoned, and generally round at the waist, with a buckled band. Those for more elegant toilet are pointed before and behind, with the top of the body cut rather low either in the heart-shape or straight across. But few very low bodies are now seen. For family parties, high bodies with short and very small sleeves are worn. LONG SLEEVES have no particular form, but are varied according to the taste or fancy of the wearer and maker. They are, however, wide or half-wide, rather than narrow, and end in a cuff in harmony with the rest of the trimming. Some are slit up in front, and trimmed all down the scam. Others are puffed and slashed ; while others again have puffs at top and end in a very wide velvet wristband. FLOUNCES are seldom put to the bottom of the skirt, and are placed together, or in rows with spaces between, according to the fancy of the wearer. Many are placed in twos or threes, and each set headed by a ruche or band of

FOR MARCH. color. They are seldom put straight round the skirt, but in vandykes or scollops. The flounces are not hemmed ; they are either bound or pinked. Many dresses are trimmed en tunique ; and it is expected that this style, being a becoming one, as it gives height and grace to the figure, will long remain in fashion. The bodies of dresses are made either round or with two points ; if the latter, the points in front open. DRESSES are now worn open in front, with revers, under which a lace chemisette is required. They are made so that they can be closed at pleasure. Our first figure in the fashion-plate is represented with a dress of this description. LIGHT OR DARK COLORED ALPACAS AND PLAIN FOULARDS are becoming very fashionable. Nankeen, gray, and brown are preferred. A chesnut-color, which we have seen in alpaca, and a violet-colored foulard were extremely beautiful. Braiding in narrow black braid is becoming very fashionable for these dresses. MORNING DRESSES are all made with the Zouave jacket, of the same material as the skirt : they are worn either with a chemisette of pleated muslin, or an embroidered cashmere waistcoat. One of the prettiest dresses which we have seen was for a young married lady, consisting of a muslin dress having four flounces, each trimmed with two narrow black velvets ; the body was open and had a row of black lace laid flat round the top, a similar row passing over the shoulders, and wide sleeves with the same lace round the wristbands. The long muslin sash was ornamented with two rows of narrow velvet and a row of lace. THE RUSSIAN, SWISS, AND MEDICI WAISTBANDS are worn more than ever. Some are plain, some stitched in colored silk, others embroidered with silk, braid, etc. The long sashes, tied at the side, and generally black, are also embroidered with a design to match the dress they accompany. These sashes, edged with a fluting or a row of lace, with braces and pocket trimmings to match, are in great vogue, and, especially when adopted to muslin chemisettes, are extremely pretty for very young ladies. A FICHU, suitable for a young lady, is composed of white blonde and black lace, round at the back and square in front; a little black and white ruche round the neck, divided by a narrow velvet, and a double trimming all round the fichu. The sleeves are puffed, and separated between the black and white; and the wristband trimmed with black and white, finished with a bow of ribbon. The ladies of Paris have introduced an easy and graceful mode of raising the skirt of the dress in out-door walking costume. A ceinture, usually of black velvet, is worn round the waist, and to it are attached loops of the same material. These loops are so long as to descend to a little more than midway down the dress, and through them the edge ofthe skirt is drawn so as to raise up the whole of the lower part of the skirt in festoons. By this means the edge of the dress is secured from contact with the ground. This ceinture has been named the Ceinture Louis Quinze. LACES of all kinds are very much used for trimming bonnets, shawls, mantles, dresses, etc.

6 Fire and dust and air fight in the furnaces ; the pour is timed, the billets wriggle ; the clinkers are dumped: Liners on the sea, skyscrapers on the land ; diving steel in the sea, climbing steel in the sky.

Smoke nights now, Steve. Smoke, smoke, lost in the sieves of yesterday; Dumped again to the scoops and hooks today. Smoke like the clocks and whistles, always. Smoke nights now. To-morrow something else.

Luck moons come and go: Five men swim in a pot of red steel. Their bones are kneaded into the bread of steel : Their bones are knocked into coils and anvils And the sucking plungers of sea-fighting turbines. Look for them in the woven frame of a wireless station

to others judging in charity, to be true beleevers, when in deed they are nothing lesse. But it seemes more simple, if we say, that some who after fall away, for a time doe truly beleeve: which Christ doth therefore call Temporaries, Math. 13. 21. And then concludes, to take away the shew of repugnancy, which seemes to be betwixt this and the former places. We must hold, that Christ in act and very deed is the redeemer of the faithfull, as long as they be such: although in power, yea and in will he be the Saviour of the whole world. To let passe other things which pertaine not to this question, it is plaine the Apostle speakes of them for whom Christ died in act, event or application, in which sence they confesse he died not for all men, but the faithfull only as such. And as these false teachers were called into the Covenant, accepted the condition, beleeved in Christ, for a time rejoyced in him, and brought forth some fruite, so we confesse they were bought by the blood of Christ, because all these were fruits of Christs death, whereof they were made partakers. As in the Parable, the Lord is said to remit to his servant a thousand Talents, when he desired him, sc. inchoately or upon condition, which was not confirmed, because he did not forgive his fellow servant: so the false Prophets are bought by the blood of Christ, sc. in a sort, as they beleeved in Christ, but not sincerely and unfainedly. We reade of some Apostates, that they had been enlightened, and tasted of the heavenly gift, and been partakers of the holy Spirit, who afterwards did revolt from the faith. To these men, their sinnes were remitted in a sort in this world, and in a sort they were bought by the blood of Christ, but inchoately only, and as they tasted the word of life. Had they eaten the word of life, that is, had they soundly and truly beleeved in Christ, they had received perfect and consummate remission of sinnes, both in this world and in the world to come; they had been perfectly redeemed and reconciled unto God: but because they did not eate, tasted only, they received not perfect remission, they were not perfectly redeemed. To this taste answereth the Sowe that is washed, and returneth againe to the wallowing in the mire: washed and so redeemed, washed with remission of sinnes, and so redeemed from sinne, inchoately: but because she returneth to the filth of sinne, that remission is confirmed, neither in the houre of death, nor at the day of Judgement. The false Prophets were bought as they

PRICES.

BY ANNIE ARNOLD.

GEORGIANA PRESCOTT Sat before the mirror in her dressing-room, idly twisting her soft fair curls round her fingers and admiring her own pretty face, thinking, if the truth must be told, that her eyes were the brightest blue, her complexion the purest, her features the most delicate that she had ever seen ; and wondering whether there were not more truth than flattery in all the pretty speeches poured into her ears, night after night, at the balls and assemblies which she graced. It was a tempting subject for a reverie, and the important question of pink or blue for the next ball followed it in her train of thought, and she forgot how time was flying as she still toyed with the clustering ringlets.

"Georgy! Georgy !" The cry came in a clear, ringing tone from the foot of the stairs, and then flying feet came up along the entry, and to the door ; and a young lady with a slight , graceful figure, and a gipsy-like style of prettiness came in, her dark complexion tinted with bright crimson cheeks, and her large black eyes radiant with some piece of intelligence.

"Why, Georgy ! " she said, impatiently, " why were you not at grandfather's?"

Georgiana looked up with an air of bewilderment.

"Have you forgotten that it is the seventeenth of March, and just ten years since uncle John died?"

"Oh, Nell! Father never said a word about it."

"He forgot it himself! We all went, and there was no one else there, until grandpa sent for uncle Will and Arthur ; but it is so far up here that he did not send for you, and, as soon as it was all over, flew down to tell you the news. You know the directions were to open the will ten years from the date of his death at grandpa's, if he was still alive : if not, at father's."

VOL. XLI.- 18

"But, Nell, what was the will?"

"You and Arthur and I are left twenty thousand dollars each, grandpa fifty thousand, and the rest, nearly half a million, they say, is all left to Harry. The will states that uncle John's reasons for wishing the matter left so long were that he thought it would make a milksop of Harry if he grew up with great expectations, and he wished him to be a man with his principles well grounded, a profession learned, and a start taken in life before he knew that he could be independent of work, so he appointed a time when he would be twenty-five years of age to read the will. Georgy, " said Ellen, in a lower tone, " aunt Mabel wasn't mentioned at all."

" Oh, Nell ! do you know that story ? I can't get anything out of mother but hints ; and the only time I asked father, he looked so grave and sad that I never repeated the question."

"Yes, I know it ; but the folks don't like to talk about it. Come sit down here near the fire, and I'll tell you what I know of it."

Georgiana drew up an arm- chair for her cousin and another for herself, and prepared for a long story.

"She was the only girl, " said Ellen, curling herself all up in her chair, " and the youngest of grandpa's children ; and, after her mother died, they say there was no limit to the indulgence that grandpa and all the brothers granted her. She was very beautiful, and the idol of them all. Even after your father, uncle George, and my father married , they petted and spoiled her just the same as before. When they were all married but uncle John, uncle George died, and aunt Lola only lived a few months after him, so uncle John adopted Harry, the only child, as you know, and took him home. He was then two years old, and aunt Mabel became very fond of him . She was a school- girl, but she was a perfect little mother to him. He

 BRACKET.

BY MRS. JANE WEAVER. THE Bracket in the January number requiring more time than some would have, we give one of not so much work. A quarter of a yard of the heavy ribbed goods used in upholstery ; three yards of heavy silk cord to match; three yards of heavy gilt cord ; three yards of smaller, and five gilt tassels, are the materials necessary. The small gilt cord is for winding the silk cord which is to trim the points of the bracket and planks around the top. The heavy gilt cord is put on as in pattern in place of a moulding, which cannot be obtained in small places.
