Letter JBox:. .All communications for this department must be plainly written on one aide of the paper, contain no personal or improper allusions and be accompauied with the writer's real name though it need not necessarily be signed to the article written. Correspondents can do as they like about that, but muit inform us privately of their real names. A letter from Elmvroocl received this week is too long and too aesthetic for our columns. It has one other hin drance to publication. It is written on both sides of tha paper. Our rules are imperative in this matter and writers must conform to them. . We do not want to discourage any of our youn2 friends from writing to us, but yet we are obliged to ask, those who desire to appear in print to use discretion in the length and matter of their communications, and to bear in mind that the editor is a busy hard worked man, wiih plenty to do always, and that reading badly spelled MSS. takes up time and patience wonderful ly fast. This Letter Box is meant for improve ment and education, and part of this should commence at home, before your letter gets to the editor. A few mis takes, and especially from our young friends (and we want to see their let ters much of tener), will be gladly over looked, but the elder ones must get their'Dictionaries down and work, if they cannot spell any other way, and re-write their letters. There is nothing of real value accomplished in this world without hard labor. "Writing for a newspaper is very hard work, even for the professional editor, if done well, and an amateur should not hope to have slip-shod, careless work accepted, nor long winded and abstruse theories ven tilated. If oppressed with big ideas bow, pack them away and write us plain, newsy little things, until you get the "hang" of it, and thsn you can ven tilate your scientific, aestheticor emo tional evolutions in journals devoted to one of these particular Hue3 of thought. .;-. Come along with your letters, but ex pect to have some dropped in the waste basket now and then. We put a good many of our own articles there, after reading thm over, at times Ed. Louisville, Xe3., Feb. 23th, 77. Friend Herald. Seeing articles fron. various parls of the country in your letter department I thought a few words from this part of the foot stool might nut ba uninteresting. Our lit erary society abounds in fun and in struction. We have adopted a new constitulion which makes work more efTectiTP. Nearly all of the members perform the parts assigned them promptly and creditably. Very seldom a failure is reported. Music, declara tions, essays and dabate is the order of every Friday evening. Mr. Geo. B003 and family start for the land of flowers and hard money the first of next week. May prosperity at tend them. Every town has i is peculiarity. W. W. cries continuously for the county seat, Omaha's is Itose water, Platts mouth's is Sam Chapman and pro rata, Louisville's is teachers. Seventeen teachers and ex-teachers now inhabit this burgh, and when a man talks of moving here a committee of citizens is sent to investigate him. Woe unto said man if he is net, or has not been, a teacher. He may get along if he is the possesser of a parlor organ. A grapevine telegram from Omaha informs us that our esteemed bachelor squire was married last December in that city, and that his wife is now stop ping at the Grand Central. : The young ladies here who have been "setting their caps" for the squire are much chagrinned at this intelligence, and have gone to chewing gum to drown their disappointment. This is the se quel to the squire's visit to Omaha in December last, and returning with his lips so hermetically sealed, as reported by the Chronicle at the tirna. -Vive la Squire. More anon, J. B. Greene. (Jiris, drtn't Do It. "'Don't do what" our fair readera will ask. There are a great many things you ought to do. and still a great num ber that you had better not do. Fore most and prominent among the latter is to reform a drunkard by marrying him. Depend upou it, if you cannot keep him sober during those days of the average woman's strongest influ ence over wayward men, the season of courtship, the chances will be against success. Some women have succeeded in this labor of love, but there are ten thousand failures to one success. It is a field of missionery labor that few of the sex are fitted to enter. If John gets drunk once a month while he is billing and cooing, depend upon it lie will require semi-monthly season of Bacchanalian recreation when he be comes a Benedict A man . who gets drunk is necessarily a bad or foolish man when he is under the influence of liquor, and is very apt to soon become a bad man whether drunk or sober. The romantic idea, that a woman who can reform a drunkard is . deserving a crown of glory, is all the veriest bosh. They would be shocked by the sug gestion that a man who marries a fallen woman and restores her to a life of vir tue" would be deserving the praise of all mankind. . ; . 1 ' Synopsis of Laws Passed at the 11th Ses sion of the Legislature.

One and one half cups, oatmeal,, two -tea-spoonfuls of sugar, a pinch of salt,one feurth of a teaspoonful. of soda. .Stir well together and let-it stand -over jtight; then add one egg, one cup of milk, flour enough to make the battef. right to bake..

Steam for five hours, at the end of which time ' set the pan in a hot oven long enough to well brown the crust. . . f . Croquettes. Because of, their French name and of the high price charged at restaurants, many have the impression that they are far too expen sive far ordinary families. This is a mistake, as tliey afford a most accept able ferin in which to use up the rem nants of fowl, game, meats, eta When presentable bits can no longer be cut from a turkey, chicken, or other bird3, or there are the remnants of veal, mut ton, venison, or even fish, an excellent breakfast or supper dish may be made. The material is to be chopped fine ; one half to one-fourth as much bread crumbs or mashed potato, a well-beaten egg to each cupful of the mixture, to bind it together, and if too dry to make into balls, add gravy, or if none is at hand melted butter, salt, pepper, and whatever seasoning may be fancied, such as parsley and other herbs ; a tri fle ef onion, catsup, etc. Make into rolls, balls, or mold in a wine-glass. Dip in egg, roll in powdered cracker, and fry, having the fat very hot, to a light brown. Properly made they will take up no fat. Some omit the egg and cracker and simply flour them. They may be cooked in advance, and warmed through when wanted by pla cing in an oven. Seiaps of several meats may be combined, and a little ham will greatly improve the flavor of those made of Yeal. , ; A Sensible Mother. It is really pitiful to see a g-od, conscientious lit tle mother resolutely shutting herself away from so much that is best and sweetest in her children's lives, for the sake of raffling their dresses and tuck ing their petticoats. How surprised and grieved she will be to find that her boys and girls, at sixteen regard "moth er" chiefly as- a most excellent person to keep shirts in order and to make new dresses, and not as one to whom they cae to go for social companion ship 1 Yet, before they are snubbed out of it by repeated rebuffs, snch as "Run away, I'm too busy to listen to your nonsnnse," children naturally go to their mothers with .ill their sorrows and pleasures; and if "mother" can only enter into all their little plans, how pleased they are! Such . a shout of delight as I heard last summer from Mrs. Friendly's croquet-ground, where her two little girls were playing ! -Oh. goody, goody, mamma is coming to play with us!" She is a busy mother, too, and I know would have much referr ed to use what few moments of recre ation she could snatch, for something' more interesting than playing croquet with little children not much taller than their mallets. She has eften said to me, "I cannot let my children grow away from me, I must keep right along with them all the time, and whether it is croquot with the littlo ones, or Latin grammar and base-ball with tho boys, or French dictation and sash-rih-bons with the girls, I must 'be in it as far as I can." -From" Letters to a young Mother Scribner for March. '. ' 1 i. f -.It was only a few years .ago that swine breeders were viewing with each other for the greatest weight of carcas; but this is now all changed. Hogs that will weigh 500 pounds are sold at a less price per pound than those ef 250 and 300 pounds. . The market iu Eng land has long favored light weights. London is chiefly supplied with pigs f not less than 200 pounds weight. And this tendency of the . market : to pigs well fatted, butof small wighr,isjust what the farmers should encourage, for it is exactly in the line of his inter est. It costs more to make the second hundred pounds of a pig than the first and still more to make the third hun dred pounds, and so every pound adr ded becomes more expensive. 1 There had been a discussion about the cost of a dress, and she was wrathy. ?It's all very well," she pouted, "for you to expect a woman to be an angel; but I'd have you know, sir, that I wouldn't be even an angd'un!ess my wings could be .cut . goring. There, now!" JSt, Lou is i Republican. f Bishop Simpson fn writing of the election of Gov.
