RECIPES.

Carrot Soup.—4 quarts liquor in which beef or mutton has been boiled, a few beef bones, 6 large carrots, 2 large onions, 1 turnip, salt and pepper, cayenne. Put on the liquor, bones, onions, peeled and ent in slices, turnip, pepper and salt, and simmer for 3 hours ; scrape the carrots, cut them in thin slices, strain the soup on them, and stew till soft enough to pulp through a coarse sieve; then add the pulp to the soup, and boil for j hour. Forequarter of Lamii.—Place the joint before a nice clear fire, and baste frequently with butter till done; although this joint requires quick roasting, it should not be placed too near the fire, as the fat is so liable to burn ; allow hour for each pound of meat, and J hour extra for browning ; serve with mint sauce. Mint Sauce. —4 dessert spoonfuls chopped mint, 2 dessert spoonfuls pounded white sugar, J pint vinegar. Wash the mint, pick the leaves from the stalks, mince them very finely, and put them in a tureen, add the sugar and vinegsr, and stir till the former is dissolved ; it is better to make the sauce two or three hours before it is wanted for table.

Swiss Roll.—Eight eggs, Alb Hour, Jib powdered sugar. Whisk the eggs and sugar to a thick cream, add the flour lightly, then spread out carefully on well buttered and prepared tins, and bake in a very quick oven. When baked, take oft’the paper quickly, spread with raspberry jam, roll up and dust with sugar. Strawberry Jam.—To lib fruit allow jib sugar. Pick the strawberries, and carefully reject all bruised and wet ones ; put a layer of fruit in the pan, then a layer of sugar, and so on, till the pan is three parts full ; set it at the side of the fire, and keep stirring gently to prevent its burning ; carefully remove all the scum as it rises, and let the jam boil gently for three-quarters of an hour, or till a little put on a plate will set; take the pan oil the fire, let its contents cool, pour into jars, and cover in the usual way.

Ague —The following appeared a short time since in a contemporary. We believe it would be worth trying, so reproduce it here : —Get an oyster shell and diy it thoroughly in an oven. Then grate it into a fine powder ; put a teaspoonful into half a glass of whisky, and then drink it. If the first dose does not effect a cure, try another a few days after. By taking this strange mixture, as many will probably call it, a greenish matter is brought away from the stomach. This is a certain cure.
