constant tendency to putrefaction, that
renders the packing of butter of SO much
consequence to its preservation. Stone
jars we have found superior to anything
else for packing butter. They are sweet
cool, -impervious to air, and from their
shape leave but small surface to be
exposed, or covered with brine. The
butter, whether packed in jars or firkins,
must be beat solid. and the vessel, what.
ever it may be, should be filled at once.
The difficulty attending frkins, is, thai
all wood contains more or less acid, and
this, decomposing the salt, imparts an an.
pleasant taste and flavor to the butter in
The cask. This is partly remedied by
hlllng the firkins with strong brine, and
allowing Them to stand few DAYS before
using, but the cause is never entirely re-
moved. Experiments made in Scotland
proved that the wood of the linden or
Eastwood contained the least acid, and
this is supported by the fact that in the
Tyrolese salt-works, where water is bro't
to the point of saturation by percolating
through bundles Of twigs or faggos, those
of the Eastwood are always preferred 10
any other. In this country, firkins Of
heart ash are preferred, and perhaps are
as good as any that can be used. We
have known frkin of butter properly
headed, thrown into a well where the
water was of the temperature of about
500 to IS and when taken out. after
submersion of year, was as sweet as
when put in. Perhaps, where circum-
stances admit, butter might be advantage
eously kept-in this way in watts filled with
running spring water of the proper tenn
perature. Jars or frkins when filled with
butter, should have some pure strong brine
poured on the top of the butter, and kept
there for the purpose of excluding the air
until the article is wanted for use. In
stead of the brine some use salt, and 9th
ers prefer linen cloth satupted in brine, |
Tor this purpose. But whatever is used
the top OF the jar or frkin should be care.
fally covered with board, or what is
much better, clean, fat stone. Thev
should stand on fiat stones, in cool place
IN the cellar, and may be occasionally
looked to, to see that the surface is pron.
erly secured, and the air excluded.-Alb.

the departure of an acquaintance, or of a
nelehbor, with whom ne has often taken
sweet counsel, and in whose comnanv
gone to the house of God. And then. too.
the funeral scene is something more than
a ceremony. By its rare. occurrence. il
enters deep into the soul. Not here and
there one, as in the city, attends, in obe-
dlence to custom, to show respect to the
memory of the dead but young and old
tErong the house of mourning, with that
sadness countenance by which the heart
IS made betteh-and they speak or the
virtues ofhim who is gone, and think of
the heaven where they hope he is at rest,
and look forward to the day when friends
and neighbors will assemble and weep
over their sleeping dust. Impressions
like these iinger around the mind, for
weeks and for months, and shed a tender
ness over the spirit peculiarly favorable
to the growth of piety.
1t is in results like these, that we learn
the truth and force of the poets remark.
Wisdom is pearl with most success
Sought in still waters, and beneath clear skies.

II yon bright stars, which gem the night.
BE each blissful dwelling sphere,
Where kindred spirits re-unite,
Whom death has torn asunder here:
How sweet 1t were at once 10 die,
And leave this blighted orb afar,
Mkt soul and soul, to cleaye the sky.
And soar away from starto star.
But oh, how dark, how drear and lone.
Wouidseem the brightest world of bliss.
II wandering through each radiant one.
We failed 10 find the loved of this;
II there no more the ties shall Irvine,
That deaths cold hand alone could
sever;
Alb then these stars in mockery shine.
More hateful as they shine forever.
It cannot be-each hope, each fear,
That lights the eye or clouds the brow.
Proclaims there is happier sphere
Than this bleak world that holds us
now.
There is voice which sorrow hears.
When heaviest weighs life's CALLING
chain,
lis heaven that whispers-Dry thy tears.
The pure in heaven shall meet again.

which were met with mildness and gentle
saying TO the most violent of his
assailants who were threatening to knock
him down, you can knock me down. if
you please, but | shall not hurt you.

Some of the crowd seeing that he made
no attempt to defend himself, cried out
Hlet the man alone, don't you see he is

He then continuing the even tenor or
his way, passed on through Sixth street,
still pursued by the rabbe, until he had
passed Market street. And one of them
who was considerably intoxicated contin-
ued to follow him with bitter denuncia-
lions, until he had entered certain Pres
bylerian meeting house, to which he was
going. Whenhe came out, he was again
beset by the rufian who was waiting for
him, and now came up and threw off his
coat and rolling up his sleeves, seemed
determined 20 fight him, but our dear
friend again SO tehderly demonstrated with
