NEW ENGLAND FARMER. 



helpmate, such as was fitting for man to dtsire, 

 and for woman to become. 



Since the Creator has assigned different spheres 

 of aclion for the diiTerent sexes, it is to be |)re- 

 sumed, from his unerring wisdom, that there is 

 work enough in each department to employ them, 

 and tliat the faitlifiil peribimance of that work will 

 be for tlie benefit of both. If he has made one the 

 ])riestess of the inner temple, committing to her 

 charge its unrevealed sanctities, why should she 

 seek to mingle in the warfare that may thunder at 

 its gates or rock its torrents. Need she be again 

 tempted by pride or curiosity, or glowing words, 

 to barter her own Eden 1 



The true nobility of woman is to keep her own 

 sphere, and to adorn it; not like tlie comet, daunt- 

 ing and perplexing other systems, but as the jjure 

 star, which is the first to light the day, and the 

 last to leave it. If she shares not the fame of the 

 ruler and the blood-shedder, her good works, such 

 as "becomes those who profess godliness," though 

 they leave no "footprints oa the sands of time," 

 may find record in the "Lamb's Book of Life." —

The Apple. — This is both nutritious and wliole- 

 souie, and deserving a more pvumitient place in the 

 catalogue of table fruits than is generally assigned 

 to it. Sweet apples contain a large amount of 

 saccharine matter and are probably more nutritious 

 than the sour varieties. The apple, however, like 

 all other fruits, should never be eaten in an un- 

 sound or unripe stale, and the fairest and must per- 

 fect fruit should always, if possible, be selected 

 for use. 



To Bake Apples. — Sweet apples properly 

 baked and eaten with milk are excellent. The 

 best method of baking tart aj)ples is, to take the 



fairest and largest in size, wipe them clean, if thin 

 skinned, and pare them if the skin is thick and 

 tough; cut out the largest portion of the core from 

 one end, and place the fruit on well glazed earthen 

 dishes or pans with the end which has been cored 

 upwards, and fill the cavity with refined powdered 

 .sugar. Then place them in the oven oi other ap- 

 paratus for baking until sufficiently cooked. Take 

 them out, and when cold they are perfectly deli- 

 cious. 



"OUR DAILY BREAD." ' 



A beggar-l)oy stopped at a rich man's door — 



'I am houseless, and friendless, and faint, and poor,' 



Said tlie Ijeggai-ljoy, as the tear-drop rolled 



Down his thin cheek, blanched wiih want and cold. 



'"O ! give me a crust from your board to-day, 



To help Ihe begg;ir-lioy on liis way I" 



"Not a crust, not a crumb," the rich man said — 



"Be olT, and work for youi daily bread .'" 



The rich man went to the parish church; 

 His face grew grave as he trod the porch; 

 And llie thronging poor, the untaught mass. 

 Drew back to let the rich man pass. 

 The service begun; the choral hymn 

 Arose, and swelled Ihiougli the long aisles dim — 

 Then the rich man knelt, and the words he said, 

 VVeie — "Give lis tliis day our daily bread .'" 



l3^"No enjoymeijt," says Sydney Smith, "how- 

 ever inconsiderable, is confined to the present mo- 

 ment. A man is the happier for life from having 

 made once an agreeable tour, or lived any length 

 of time with pleasant people, or enjoyed any con- 

 siderable interval oi innocent pleasure."
