CHURNING. There is sometimes considerable
difficulty in making butter from cream, owing
perhaps to causes not exactly understood; and
every dairy woman knows that cases occur in
practicable. A friend assures us that in ordinary
cases, the difficulty is at once removed, and but
ter of good quality procured, by the addition of
little saleratIs to the cream. We have since
tried it when cream proved refractory, and found
i, to succeed admirably. A.spoonful of saleralus,
pulverized is u sufficient dose for two gallons of
cream. After The cream has been chgrped
If necessary, add the remainder. The phloso-
ply oi~,he matter, VIC take to be this; the nlkali
ofthe saeratus neutraizes the superabundant
acid ofthe cream, and thus produces buttsr.-

THE AMERICAN UNION

There are those who affect to doubt the per-
NANCY of our institutions; who fear that the spr-
it which created may fail to sustain them
Such doubt is treason, and the wretch who
breaihes it should be branded as u trnitor!-lhe
shrug the sigh, aud the regret the "speechless
oblou,Iy" ofhvpocritical friendship, are more VI
tally injurious than the worst malice OF ennity,
The corruption that begins It's tant within the HE
springs oil the system is almost hopeessly incu-
rbc There is no cause for doubt. We have
but recently passed through the crisis OF the most
deadly attack which IL year could anticipate, or
treason wish and we have been purged 10 a
sound and pristine health" by the operation OF
the very disease which assaulted Us. There is
vitality i'll our institutions winch WI preserve
them through all the dangers to which the vics-
STUDIES of time and chance mny expose their
safety.
Hope is the best omen of Immortality. We
believe that country is reserved for pecu-
liar destiny. She has led the van i'll the tnarch
ofnations Her eagle is the herald, as well us
the emblem, of liberty. Her dawn of promise is
unclouded there is scarcely shadow to Fit over
the beulning light OF prosperity ;and how bright,
how transcendantIy bright must be the meridian
of her fame! That star OF empire, whose west
ward course has been prophetic OF her destiny,
must culmnate over the PROMISED lanu OF rec
dom and of men.
The possible destiny of the United States of
America as q nation os II hundred millions OF
freemen, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pa
cilic, living under the laws OF Alterd ana speak-
ing the language Of Shakespeare and Milton, is
an august conception. 1t is Il consunimation
almost too boundlcss for human thought; but its
subIimitv chiefly consists i'll tho concomItant eX-
tension and example of liberty. When the toe
of uopulation shall have lined its fruitful shores
with the tumuuous throng Of commerce; when
the gardens of nature, the boundless prairies of
the West shall rejoice in the smile of universal
cultivation, and the noble rivers that water the
luxuriant soil be ireighted with the golden pro-
ducts of industry, what imagination can COM
pass the glory, the majesty of freedom! And
when we remember that such antcipations are
deGucod from sober calculation that perchance,
within the space OF q single century these inn
mense results will, in the course OF nature, be
ACCOMPLISHED, who can doubt the heaven drec-
ted destiny of his country ?--Knitkerbocker.
