Her iufni,e Yarittyn

So was one person described by the pen which
has made clearer mark than any other on the his
tory OF But is it not surprising that such
description should apply TO 50 few
OF two or three women We read histories that
correspond with The hint given in these lines They
were women in whom there was intellect enough
TO temper and enrich heart enough to soften and en-
liven. the entire being. There was soul enough to
keep the body beautiful through the term OF earthly
existence for while the roundness, the pure, deli
cate lineaments, the fowery bloom OF youth were
passing, the marks left in the OF those years
were no, merely of time and care, but also Of ex-
quisi,e emotions and noble thoughts With such
chisels Time works upon his statues tracery and
fretwork well worth loss Of the first virgin beau
ty Of the alabaster while the fire within growing
constantly brighter and brighter, shows all these
changes in the material as rich and varied orna
nents. The vase al last, becomes lamp of beau
ty; fit TO animate the councils OF the great, the
solitude of the altar
Two or three women there have been who have
thus grown even more beautiful with age. we
know Of many more Of whom this Is true
These have been beroes or still more frequently, po-
cts and artists; with whom the habtual life tended
10 expand the soul deepen and vary the experience
refine the perceptions and immortalize the hopes
and dreams OF youth.
They were persons who never lost their original
ity of character, nor spontanety Of action Their
i'm pulses proceeded from fulness and certainty of
character that made it impossible they should doubt
or repent whatever the results ofther actions might
be- They could not repent, in matters little or
great, because they felt that their actions were
sincere exposition of the wants Of their souls
Their impulsiveness was not the restless fever of
one that must change bis place somehow and some
whittier but the waves of tide which might be
sweed tOvehemence by the action OF the winds or
the influence of an attractive orb, but the
less subject to fixed laws
A character which does not lose its freedom OF
motion and impulse by contact with the world,
grows with its years more richly creative, more
freshly individual. Its character governed by
principle of lis own, and not by rules taken from
other mems experience, and therefore 1t is that
Age canno, wither them custom stale
Their infinite variety.
Like vioins they gain by age and the spirit of
him who discourseth through them most excellent
music. Like wine
Like wine well kept and long

War for Oregon.

It has been suggested in distinguished quarter:
has also been said on both sides OF the Atlantic
that the Territory cannot long be governed Ell
ther from Westminster or Washington but tha,
il will require separate Government of its own.
If either of these assertions be true, a war, in
this age OF civilization, to determine the tile ia
Oregon will be 'monstrous' and 'impious' beyond
any ,cager Of hattie in history. The following
verses, from an ancient newspaper will ftly it,
nstrate the folly of both nations that engage in
it Boston Daily Adj.
CLuMrY and CLoD, two surly clowns,
As reeling home one night
From 'alehouse, where their sappy crowns
They'd soaked in sad'ning plight,
While all the azure tinted sky

And all the glitterng train on high
Seemed DER their heads to dance

"And ]" quoth Clod to Clump, "should like

"Ah' but" says CIump, "to weed them all
"What pasture could be wound ?"

''What and without my leave ?" says Clump,

Quoth Clump ithen thee my hide shall thnmp,

So tot they went, both Cump and Clod,
As fast as fist could tag,
Till both lay sprawling on the sod,
And scarce fist could wag.
"Now where's your oxen Clod ," says Clump,
"And where" says Clod. ''your ground? ?"
Both sighed. and, carcass raised on romp,
In vain for both looked round
Then shaking hands, they cursed all jars,
And ali deceiving eyes
That looked for oxen in the stars,
And pasture from the skies

REFINING SALT FOR BuTrER, CURING MEAT,
&c.-Would it not be an improvement in the
domestic economy of farmers it they were all
TO adopt some simple method of purifying the
salt they use in curing butter, meat, &C.? |
nave often thought that the tad quality Of but.
Ter is attributable almost as much to impurities
in the salt as 10 any other cause. lie, any one
consult practical chemist, or a good chemical
book, and he will be informed that the purest
salt Of commerce conta rs small quantities Of
sulphate of magnesa and lime, nitrate Of soda
and muriate of magnesa. Rock and bay salt
are the purest, but even these contain the above
named impurities The more common salt,
that generally used in domestic economy, not
only contains these but other impurities in con.
siderable quantities; all Of which are well cal
culated TO impair the effects of the salt for the
purposes intended. A very little trouble and
less expense will enable any farmers wife TO
render the salt she uses perfectly pure. In the
first place put peck of salt into large ket-
tie with just clear rain water enough to dissolve
il boil II and skin off every particle of scum
that rises to the surface. Then dissolve ons
ounce OF carbonate Of soda in four ounces of
water, put it 10 the kettle and stir it well then
boil again for ten minutes, taking of all the
scum that rises then strain the brine through
several folds OF flannel A considerable quanti.
ty of earthly matter will be found in the bottom
ofthe kettle and that is the cause of the impu-
rity. After this s,ranng, small quantity of
mur;afic acid must be added to the brine to
neutralize the soda say halt an ounce or so;
then the brine is to be pu, back into the kettle
and boiled again till it chrystalizes, or it may
be put inio a shallow wooden vessel and the wa
ter evaporated in the sun Boiling is the quick
est method. As soon as the salt is re-chrysta.
lzcd, it should be washed by pnting it in bask.
ct, and throwing bucket Of perfectly pure wa.
ter over it and letting it drain off rapidly then
dry it. In this way, salt perfectly pure may bc
obtained. am aware that many people will
say that the process Is TOO Troublesome bnt
let me suggest that every kind Of process for
all kinds of objects is troublesome, and that is
only because this is new or never before prar.
tced by them, that it appears troublesome Il
is true that it is more troublesome than 1t i, To-
take the common salt as /; is and use il !, but
then we propose a valnable object TO be obtain.
ed by the process of purfcation, that is not at.
tsinable from the use of common salt. If il
troublesome, it pays well for its~lf in the in
creased excellence of the butter, &c. in which
it is used. A high degree Of purity may be at.
tanned by the above process. even if the car
boaa'e Of soda and mura'c acid be omitted,
though not absolute purity; common salt will
be rendered by it much purer than the best rock
salt without the carbonate of soda and The acid.

Value OF Coal Ashes.

Part Of a piece of wet heavy land was dres.
Sod with them the result was most satisfactory
1t could be easily seen at considerable distance
how far they had been applied and the crop
was quite as heavy as could have been expected
had good manure been applied imagine they
act not directly as manure, but like charcoal
they are instrumental in absorbing ammonia and
other gases which plants are known to feed on.
and yield it TO the plants without giving off any
of their own substance, which remains uncbas.
eed for years.-Am'rican Agricultnisi.
We have never tried coal ashes on "wet
heavy land" but we have used them on a dry
stiff, clay, with the happiest effects A strong
prejudice exists against them in many parts OF
this country, with those who have never used
them; but from our personal experience, ha-
wing tried them with eached wood ashes, on the
same field, side by side, we are prepared to say,
that three bushels of Coal Ashes are equal to
two of Wood
We apprehend the ashes of coal perform o.
ther Offices than that ascrbed to them in the
possess OF absorbing ammonia we presume they
derive from the charcoal and su,phate of lime
(plaster) which form portions OF their consttp-
ent elements; but independent of these, they
contain carbonate of lime, as also the phos'
phate OF lime-and as these are always found
IN the ashes Of plants submitted to analysis, it
is buta fair conclusion that coal ashes, besides
acting as an absorbent, do undergo a chemical
change, and give off parts of their own substan-
ces as food 10 such plants as may grow upon
land manured with them-Editor Amer ican

CHuRSING BUTrER.-Every good house wife
knows that at times, some peculiar causes, (most
generally extra sourness or bitterness of the
cream) much difficulty is experienced in making
the cream into butter. A lady writer in the In
