>KE RURAL NEW ^CRKER, 
lonced hands, seemed but a bit of play, as we 
stood with heads thrown back and eyes 
rolled up watching the operation and calcu¬ 
lating how long it would be before we would 
be old enough to white-wash the walls our¬ 
selves. 
We found by later experience that contem¬ 
plation of the undertaking was far more 
agreeable than the reality, and that white¬ 
washing was not by any means so easy to do 
as it appeared to' be. How well it is for the 
little ones that they have been wisely with¬ 
held from realizing what is before them; for 
what is more sad than a child old before its 
time? Let the little children run and play 
and grow to a ripe manhood and woman¬ 
hood, that they may be ready to take their 
places in the ranks of workers at the proper 
time and age; and do not over burden them 
with cares, that stunt the body and warp the 
intellect. B. H. G. 
GLITTER AND GOLD. 
T HERE is an old maxim that “all is not 
gold that glitters;” but the converse of 
this proposition is also true that gold does not 
always glitter. A few years ago I spent 
several hours in a large waiting-room of a 
depot in a large city. It was thronged with 
travelers—going in different directions when 
their trains were ready to start. Among 
these strangers I noticed a man in company 
with his wife and two or three small children. 
I regarded him with sincere compassion. He 
was so exceedingly homely that I thought his 
face must ache, and I wondered how he had 
been able to have ever won a wife, much less 
the fair woman with him. I lost sight of him 
aftor a time and when next he appeared on 
the scene, it was with a huge pitcher of 
steatniug coffee, apparently from the nearest 
eating house. His little party were arranged 
for a lunch, with evidently the koen appetites 
of travelers. My homely friend began cut¬ 
ting huge slices of bread from a loaf, and 
dealing out cups of coffee,himself waiting un¬ 
til the vory smallest one had been well served 
before beginning his own repast. When I saw 
the affectionate regard for his family which 
beamed on his coarse features and lit his dim 
eyes, I realized, as I never did before, how a 
great warm heart can beautify the most com¬ 
monplace countenance, and 1 no longer won¬ 
dered at the look of sweet content which 
rested on the features of his wire, who was 
evidently a woman who could appreciate a 
genuine good man. Here, thought I, as I 
overlooked the group, is a case where gold 
does not glitter. It was also a strong re¬ 
minder of the folly of judging from ap¬ 
pearances. 
AUNT RACIIEL. 
A CHAPTER ON PUDDING. 
A plain but delicious tapioca pudding can 
be made with very little else than tapioca and 
apples. Most recipes say soak over-night, 
but one doesn’t always know the night before 
that she will waut a pudding the next day. 
Rut your tapioca over in cold water and boil 
till it is as clear as starch. While it is boiling 
pare and core a few apples. The number of 
apples and quantity of tapioca used must be 
according to the number fed. It is hard to 
spoil the pudding it is so simple. Put the ap¬ 
ples in another dish and cover with water, 
adding a little sugar and nutmeg or cinnamon 
and salt Boil nearly soft and then turn the 
clear tapioca over them and bake a little 
while. Serve with cream aud sugar. 
ORANGE PUDDING. 
Peel and cut up six oranges and spriuklo 
with sugar. Let them stand two hours. 
Boil one pint of milk, beat the yelks of three 
eggs, add three table-spoonfuls of sugar and a 
heaping spoonful of corn-starch, stir into tho 
milk when boiling. Stir three minutes. 
When nearly cold pour over tho oranges. 
Mane a frosting of the whites of the eggs and 
one-half a cup of sugar. Spread over the 
pudding, set in the oven in a pan of water, 
aud let it brown lightly. 
BAKED INDIAN PUDDING. 
Butter a skillet, put one quart of rich 
sweet milk in, when the milk boils stir in 
three-fourths of a cup of meal, let it boil un¬ 
til well done, then set off the stove. Take one 
half cup of sugar, one-half cup of sorghum 
molasses, throe well beaten eggs, a pinch of 
salt, aud one spoonful of ginger. Beat well 
together, then mix thoroughly with tho cooked 
meal,adding milk to make it of the consistency 
of cream. Bake slowly an hour and a half or 
two Hours. Good either hot or cold. Serve 
with sweet cream. mrs. v. w. griblin. 
of corn-starch dissolved in cold water, and a 
little sugar. When done, stir in the whites 
of two eggs beaten stiff. Vake a custard of 
the other pint of milk and the yelks, and pour 
over the pudding when cold. Whipped cream 
can be substituted for the custard. 
SNOW PUDDING. 
One-half box of gelatine soaked in one 
pint of warm water. Don’t let it cool too 
much, add two cups of sugar, the juice of two 
lemons and the whites of three eggs. Stir 
all together 20 minutes. The secret of this 
pudding is in the stirring. Put into a mold 
and when firm turn it over. Eaten with a 
custard. 
TAPIOCA PUDDING. 
Soak three table-spoonfuls of tapioca in a 
little water four hours. Pour off the water, 
put in one quart of milk and heat. When it 
commences to boil, stir in the yelks of three 
eggs, four table-spoonfuls of sugar and a little 
salt. Stir till it thickens. Flavor with 
vanilla. Pour half into a pudding-dish, over 
this, spread the whites of three eggs, beaten 
stiff, then add the rest of tho tapioca. This 
cooks the frosting. 
EGGLESS COOKIES. 
One cup of butter, one cup of sour cream, 
tw'o cups of sugar, one tea-spoonrul of soda. 
If wished, lard may be substituted for the 
butter and water for the cream. In the 
latter case use two tea-spoonfuls of cream- 
of-tartar. Or, omit the soda, and use two 
tea-spoonfuls of baking powder. 
APPLE FLOAT. 
Three large, sour apples baked, white of 
one egg. When the apples are entirely cold, 
beat with the egg to a frost. Make a custard, 
put the float upon it. 
QUEEN OF PUDDINGS. 
One pint of bread crumbs, one quart of 
milk, one cup of sugar, yelks of four eggs 
well beaten, rind of one lemon grated, piece 
of butter the size of an egg, bake. Beat the 
whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, add a tea¬ 
cupful of sugar, into which has been stirred 
the juice of the lemon. Spread over the 
pudding a layer of jelly, pour the frosting 
over, and brown lightly in the oven. Serve 
with cold cream. R. R.
