LIFE AND WRITINGS OF CHARLES

LA NIB.
The following admirable review Of the
works of CHARLES LAMB, from the British
Quarterly Rerier, will find thousands of
readers and admirers on this side of the At
lan,ic
Early in the present century. there was,
every Wednesday evening, in very humble
quarters IN the Temple, a snug li,le reunion.
to which one would rather have been ad-
mitled than TO anv dozen brilliant conversa-
lions which London could offer Nothing
could be simpler than the entertainment !;
it had none OF the attractions Of wealth, of
fashion or of celebrity. 1t was never chroni-
cled in the Morning Post. What was said
and done there, afforded no food TO idle on
dts. No magnificent hunkies lined the
staircase, and roared your name from one
to the other, trumpeting your arrival. You
were not ushered into blaze of light, a.
midst jewels, plumes, and rustIing dresses.
cIowdlng beneath chandeliers 1t was a
very small room, dlmlv lighted, modest in
It's appearance, the walls graced with an
engraving or two, and famous head Of Mil
Ton, the possesSor's pride. A quiet rubber,

They cultivated flowers, and sent bou

A DREAM OF SUMMER.
BY J. G.. WHITTIER

BY J. G. WHITTIER.
Bland is the morning breath of June
The southwest breezes play
And through its haze the winter noon
Seems warm as summer day.
The snow-plumed angel of the north
Has dropped his icy spear;
Again the messy earth looks forth,
Again the streams gush clear.
The fox his hillside cell forsakes,
The muskrat leaves his nook,
The blue-bird in the meadow brakes
Is singing with the brook.
"Bear up, o Mother Nature - cry
Bird, breeze, and streamlet free,
"Our winter voices prophesy
Of summer days to thee!'
So in the winters of the soul,
By bitter blasts and drear,
O'erswept from memorys frozen pole,
Will sunny days appear.
Reviving hope and faith they show
The soul its living powers,
And low beneath the winters snow
Lie gems of summer flowers.
The night is mother of the day,
The winter of the spring.
And ever upon old decay
The greenest MOSES cling;
Behind the cloud the starlight turks,
Through showers the sunbeams fall;
For God, WI no loveth all his works,
Has left his Hone with all

Widower Smiths wagon stopped one morning
before widow Jones' door and he gave the usual
country signal, that he wanted to see somebody
in the House, by dropping the reins, and sitting
double, with his elbows on his knees. Ont
trippcd the widow, lively as Il cricket, with a
tremendous black ribbon on her snow white
cap. Good morning was said on both sides, and
the widow waited for what was further to be
said

So they adjourned to the meadow. Farmer
Smith looked at Ran-thc at the wdow--at

the whole forty. The same call was made
every day iora week. but Farmer Smith could

PREsERvtxG BurrER.--The farmers in the
parish of Udncy, in the county of Aberdeen,
Scotland practice the following method of cur
ing their butter, which giyes it great superb
oritv over that of their neighbors-
Take two parts of the best common salt, one
part of sugar and one part of saltpetre; take
one ounce of this composition for sixteen oun-
ccs Of batter; work it well into the mass and
close it up for use. The butter with this mix
ture appears of a rich marrowy consis'ence and
fine color, and never acquires Il brittle hardness,
nor tastes salty. DIR. Anderson says-"l have
ate butter cured with the above composition,
that has been kept three years, and it was as
sweet as at first" But it must be noted that
butter thus cured requires to stand three weeks
or a month before it begins to be used; if it be
sooner opened the salts are not sufficiently blcn-
ded with il, and sometimes the GOODNESS of the
nitro will then be perceived, which totally dis
appears afterwards.
