Beyond the River. _ Time is a river, deep and wide, And while along its hanks we stray, Wes e our loved ones o'er its tide om our sight away, away. Where are they sped--they who return: No more to glad our longing eyes ? They've passed from life's contracted bourne, To land unseen, unknown, that lies _ "died : Beyond the river. "Tis hid fromy view; but we may guess How beautiful. that realm must be ; For gleamings of its loveliness, In visions granted, oft we see, The very clouds that o'er itthrow Their veil, unraised for mortal sight, With gold and purple tintings glow, -- Reflected from the glorious light Eyes Beyond the river. And gentle airs, sosweet,socalm, -- _- Steal sometimes from that viewless sphere ; The mourner feels their breath of balm, And soothed sorrow dries the tear, And sometimes list'ning ear may gain Entrar.cing sound that hither floats ; Theecho of a distant strain, Of harps and voices blending notes. ee Beyond the river. There are our loved ones in their rest; They've crossed Time's River--now no more They heed the bubbles on its breast, Nor feels the storms that sweep its shore ;-- But there pure love ean live, can last-- 'They look for us their home to share; hen we in turn away have passed, h joyful greetings wait us there, a Beyond the river. RECIPES, &c. To Maxr Aprite Custarp.--Select good, sweet apples, such as. will cook well; pare, cut, and stew them; when thoroughly done, stir them briskly, till the pieces are all broken fine. Allow the apples time to cool, and thin down to the proper consistency with good milk, and bake with one crust, as you would bake a common custard, or a pumpkin pie. If a richer pie is wanted, a few egos may be added. If the apples are totally sweet, but little sugar or other sweet- ening will be required. If desirable, spices may be added. Sarr Your Cuimmveys--In building a chimney put a quantity of salt in the mortar with which the inner course of bricks are to be laid. The effect will be, that there never will be any accumulation of soot in that chimney. The philosophy is thus stated: the'salt in the portion of mortar which is exposed absorbs moisture every damp day. The soot thus becoming damp, falls down to the fireplace. This appears to be an English discovery. It is used with success in Canada. Baxrep Hams.--Most persons boil hams. Itismuch better baked, if baked right Soak it for an hour in clean water and wipe it dry, next spread it all over with thin batter, and then put into a deep dish with sticks under it, to keep it out of the gravy. When it is fully done, take off the skin and matter crusted upon the flesh side, and set it away to cool.' You will find it very delicious, but too rich for dyspeptics. Srorrep Dick.--Put three-quarters of a pound of flour into a basin, half a pound of beef-suet, half ditto of currants, two ounces _ of sugar, a little cinnamon, mix with two eggs and two gills of milk; boil in either mould or cloth for one hour and a half; serve with melted butter, and a little sugar over. "Brrr Vinecar.--Take a bushel of sugar beets, fresh from the ground, wash and grate them. Press out the juice, which will amount to about six gallons, and put it in an empty and perfectly sweet barrel. In a fortnight you will have an excellent article of vinegar, and as pleasant as that from cider or even wine. ~Vzau Puppinc.--Cut two pounds of raw veal, four ounces of ham, or lean bacon; season delicately with a teaspoonful of salt, the half of pepper, a little flour and chop- ped parsley, a gill of water; proceed as for the other puddings, boil two hours, and serve, . -Lient Doveu Dumpiines.--Get one pound of dough, make it into small balls the size of eges, boil in plenty of water, and use it for roast or boiled meats, or serve with butter and sugar, or with gravy. | GincERBREAD.--Mix together three and a half pounds of flour; three quarters of a pound of sugar; one pint of molasses; a quarter of a pound of yinger, and some ground orange-peel. CURING HAMS. _ The following are the recipes for curmg hams, which received the first and second prizes at the late annual show of the Mary- land State Agricultural Society : "To every 115 pounds of Hams take 3 ounces saltpetre, 14 do. saleratus, 81 pounds of alum salt, 6 gallons pure water, 2 pounds of ground spice. When the meat is perfectly cold, pour in the above combination until the meat is entirely covered, let it remain 64 weeks, then remove and hang it up with hock down; when dry, smoke it well with green hickory wood ; take the advantage of a clear and dry day for smoking, and on the occa- sion of wet weather, open the smoke house door, to prevent skippers, &c. Should bag about.the middle of February.-- Ez. * "Por 1,000 pounds of hock meat, half a bushel of fine salt, hulf a gallon of molasses, 'three pounds of brown sugar, two and half of 'Saltpetre, ground very fine. Mix all the in- -gredients together ina large washing tub, 'and rub the meat therewith until the whole (quantity be absorbed. 'The meat must be taken out of the cask once a week and rub- bed with the pickle it makes. The first two times you take it out, add at each timea plate full of alum ; it ought to remain in the pickle "five or six weeks, according to the size of the meat-- Wm. H. Harriot, in Chickopee Jowrnal. ON ae ~ _,, You are a Bricx.--A certain college - Professor had assembled his class at the com- mencement of the term, and was reading over the list of names to see that all was pre- _sent. It chanced that one of the number - was unknown to the Professor, having just entered the class. -- _. " What is your name, sir?" asked the " You are a brick," was the startling re- _ ply. but not quite sure that he had understood him correctly, " Sir, I did not exactly un- derstand your answer." © You are a brick," was again the com- posed reply. his face reddening. ' Beware, young man how you attempt to insult me." "Tnsult you !" said the student, in turn as- tonished. " How have I done it?" " Did you not. say I wasa brick ?" return- ed the Professor with stifled indignation. <' No, sir, you asked me my name, and I 'answered your question. My name is U. R. A. Brick--Uriah Reynolds Anderson Brick." << «¢ Ah, indeed!" murmured the Professor> sinking back into his seat in confusion. It was a misconception on my-part.. Will you commence the lesson, Mr.--ahem---Mr. Brick." In a jolly company. each one was to ask a question; if it was not answered, he paid a forfeit. Pat's question was, " How the lit- tle ground squirrel digs his hole without }showing any dirt about the entrance?' When they all gave up, Pat said, " Sure, do you see, he begins at the other end of the hole." One of the rest exclaimed, " But how does he get there?" ' Ah," said Pat, yourself?"

A degree of attention has of late been directed to the condition of the Fugitive Slaves resident in Canada, but comparatively little information concerning them has reached the public. The presence in this country of the Rev, Samuel Ringold Ward, who has been delegated by the Anti-Slavery Society of Canada to make the case of these Refugees more generally known, has caused a number of Gentlemen to form a Com- mittee, for the purpose of raising a fund to afford them temporary relief, on their arrival in Canada, from the scene of their bondage. The entire number of Fugitives in Canada may be estimated at from. thirty thousand to thirty-five thousand, of whom from three to five thousand have annually escaped since the passing of the Fugitive Slave Law. On their arrival at Toronto,and other places along the Canadian frontier, that is, along a boundary of some seven hundred miles, they are usually destitute of every thing, having generally fled stealthily, and with- out making much preparation for flight. They undergo numerous privations on their painful and wearisome journey, being in constant peril by the way, not only through the Slave States, but through the Northern, or nominally free. At any point, if overtaken, or discovered, or even suspected, they may be dragged before the Courts, and, upon a most summary process, sent back to endure a bondage of which the ordinary rigours are always increased in the case of Fugitives, to operate as awarning to others, Hence, during their flight, they are ina constant state of sus- pense, fear, and excitement; and when they reach the.Canadian frontier, usually fall inte a condi- tion of bodily and mental prostration, which renders them incapable of immediate efforts, and makes them objects of compassionate interest. Being strangers, destitute of the commonest necessaries, and in some instances, suffering from temporary illness and over fatigue, they require a helping hand. The Anti-Slavery Society of Canada, and a Ladies' Society at Toronto, pro- vide these Refugees with food, clothing, tools, or whatever they require, until they procure em- ployment and can support themselves, This necessarily entails a very considerable expendi- ture, which these Societies are not in a position to meet to the extent to which their aid is needed. It is not only an interesting fact, but one which should. be emphatically dwelt upon, that the Re- fugee Fugitives require only temporary assistance. Labour of every kind-is in great demand, and the Society being kept duly informed of the parties who are in want of labourers, they sel- dom fail to procure employment on advantageous terms. In no instance wi-hio the last year and a half has the Society been called upon to extend re- lief for more than six days, except in cases of sick- ness. The fund sought vo be raised is therefore not intended to be set aside to maintain able- bodied men in idleness for an indefinite period, but to enable the Canadian Society to respond to the large claims made upon it, to supply the more immediate and pressing demands of the Fugitives on their arrival, and until they have sofficiently recovered from fatigue to avail themselves of the advantages of abundant employment and food, good wages, cheap land, equal liberty, and im- partial laws, and the privileges and rights which are common to other classes of Canadians. Canada being the nearest of the British Colonies to the United States, (the stronghold of Slavery) it is of no small importance to encourage the 1m- provement and elevation of these negro refugees, because of the influence, direct and reflex, which would thereby be brought to bear upon American Slavery. The black settlers of Canada are nearly all of them fugitives from slavery. 'Their im- provement would be a triumphant rebuke to those who once held them as chattles, and to those who hold that the slave requires to be prepared for freedom; for they would exhibit the spectacle of a people just escaped from the galling yoke com- {"urther, as there exist in ESQ., J. TALBOT TYLER, ESQ. peting as free men, successfully and honourably | 'with other labour. } Canada some of the prejudices against colour, and as the progressive inprovement of the coloured population is gradually undermining and destroy- ing this feeling, their improvement affords a prac- tical demonstration, not only of the equal capacity of the negro for self-advancement where he has a proper incentive to labour, but of the unreason- ableness of the prejudice against him Lastly, his social elevation by his own industry and enter- prise, is even now trimuphantly proving the fitness of the slave for freedom, the righteous- ness and the practicability of immediate emanci- pation, (in so far as the slaves themselves are concerned ) and the perfect capability of the negro to live and to advance under the same government and upon terms of political and social equality' with the Anglo-Saxon raise, or any other of the one great humrn family, At a large and respectable meeting held in Free- mason's Hall the Right Hon. the Earl of Shat- tesbury in the Chair,--after an Address from Rev. S. R. Warp, showing the condition of the Fugi- tive Slaves in Canada and stating their need of temporary aid immediately upon their arrival in that Colony.--it was proposed by the Rev. C. BJ Grispie, of St. Paul's East Smithfield, and seeconded by the Rev. Tuomas James, Secretary to the Colonial Missionary Society, and adopted: " That baving heard the statement of the Rev. Samuet Rincotp Warp, respecting the destitu- tion of the Fugitive Slaves on thier arrival in Canada afteraffecting their escape from the United States; and, teeling that under. such circumstances they have aclaim on our sympathy, and need temporary assistance, this Meeting cordially ap- proves of the object of the mission, and pledges itself to promote it; and that for carrying out of the same the following Gentlemen be the Officers and Committee, with power to add to their number PRESIDENT.

Lat- erly, his pesition as Publisher of the Scriprurn -- Manvat, has probably afforded him the best pos- sible facilities for personally testing the Strength his positions, and for the attainment of certain important infcrmation, but little of which he had previously been able to obtain.
