The Magpie and the Cookies.

A certain notable housewife had OBJ
served that her stockof picked cookies
was running remarkably low, and she
spoke 10 the cook accordingly. The
cooks character was at stake; unwil-
ling TO give warning with such an i'm:
putation upon her honesty, she, never
theless, felt that a II confidence between
her mistress and herself was at an end.
One dav, the jar containing the pick
les being placed as usual on the dress
er. while she was engaged in busting
joint before the fire.. she happened TO
turn suddenly around, and beheld, to
her greatindignation. a favorite mag>
pie perched on its side and dipping its
beak down the open neck with every
symptom of qualification. The myste-
ry was explained, the thief detected.
Grasping The Ildle of scalding grcase
which she heldin her hand, the exas-
perated lady dashed the whole contents
over the hapless pet, accompanied by
the exclamation-- sea. - n s1-es.
"Oh, he! you've been at the picked
cookies, have YET" = as. .F@s
L oO1 was III 0odIOily
burnt; most Of the feathers came off,
leaving his little round pate, which had
caught, the principal part of the voIiey,
entirely v bare. .-.->-
The poor bird moped about, lost all
his spirit, and never spoke for year.
At length, when he had pretty we'll re.
covered, and was beginning to chatter
again, gentleman called at the house,
who on taking offhis hat, discovered a
very bald head. The magpie, who was
in ehe room, appeared evidently struck
by the circumstance, hopping upon the
back Of his chair, he looked linn hastily
over, and suddenly exclaimed in the
ear Of the .astonished visitor: q
A"Oh, ho! you've been at the picked
cookies have ye?''

The Voice.

Voice is one of the most striking ev-
licences of the Creators power. How
wonderful it is that so many millions,
of persons should exist, and no one
voice should exactly resemble. another.
To our finite ideas it appears reasona-
BILE that the same organ should pro-
duce the same sound: it is thus in
other animals, in birds and music: but
for MANS convenience and increase Of
pleasure, it is Otherwise; the great and
beneicent Creator, in his labor for our
comfort and happiness, has no, over
looked the sound Of a voice. OF all the
variations ofwhich the human voice is
capable, perhaps it is never so grateful
to the ears as when venting itselfin sym
pathy; the utierance of gratitude is plea
sing when we may have been so happy
as.to have it in our power to confer
favor on another. but from it we would
oft times escape; the tone of gladness
may int. ude in our melancholy y mo
ments, and ircrease instead oflightcn
our sorrows; the voice of praise may
even pain, for We may fear it to be fiat
terry, or feel'it to be undeserved: the ut
terance Of pity may wound where it's
Intended TO heal, but that Of sympathy
must make its way to the heart. There
is something in our natures which seeks
a corresp onding feeling, let that be ell
ther of joy Or Woe. .=

VINEGAR FROM MILK--The cow
heads on the Alps, in several parts of
France, use milk whey to make the
sharpest vinegar, and they also extract
from it a salt called In pharmacy su.
gar of MILK which the Swiss doc
tors consider as the best detergent to
purify the blood and scure radically the
most invetefate cutaneous complaints.
The method they use to prepare this
salt is this: Alter having separated all
the gaseous and oily parts, the whey is
clarified and boiled until reduced 10 one
fourth part of the whole, which they
deposite IN wooden or earthen pans IN
cool place. In short time the sac.
charine particles are chry staIized, the
phlegmalic part is then decanted slow
ly, and the sugar.is dried upon pieces
of grey paper. = :, 6
This operation may be accelerated
by boiling out the whey entirely. but
the sugar which remains at the bottom
ofthe kettle is colored and unfit for
pharmaceutical purposes; it might, how
ever, answer wei for veterinary uses.
The process for making vinegar out
of milk is very simple. After having
clarified the whey, it is poured into a
cask with some aromatic plants or ell
der blossoms, as it suits the fancy, and
exposed in open air to the sun, where it
soon acquires an uncommon degree OF
acidifv.
