From the Farmer and Mechanic.
SUGAR-CURING HAMS.

Persons who put up key butter for their
own use, or for a distant market, usually
salt their butter very high. This high salt
ing necessarily deiracis from its quality, in
jures its ready sale, and reduces its price.
If We can modify this excess of salt by using
more pslatable substances, Of equal efica-
cy, as preservatives, it will be an improve
ment. Chemists tell us that sugar is one
of these substances; and experience gives
us the same information. Who is not "a
miliar with sugar-cured hams? If pork
can be cured with sugar, why may not but
ter be so preserved also? is a common sense
inquiry. Experience has shown that it
may. DR.. James Anderson, the celebrated
ag~riculturlst (whose treatise on the man.
agement Of the dairy, particularly with res
pect to the making and curing Of butter, is
still our highest and best authority on the
subject,) found, from some years. trial Of
it, that the following named compositions
the properties of which we believe we're
discovered by his amiable lady-was far
preferable to salt alone, as it not only pre-
serves the butter more effectually from all
faint Of rancidity, but makes it also look

ter cured with common SALT
COMPOSITIONS: Take of sugar one part;
of nitre, one part; and of the best Spanish
great salt, Tor rock SALT two parts. Beat
the whole into fine powder, mix them well
together, and put them by for use.
The DR.. continues:
"Of this composition n ounce should
be put to every sixteen ounces Of butter;
mix this salt thoroughly with the butter as
soon as it has been freedfrom the milk, and
put it without loss of time, down into the
vessel prepared to receive it, pressing it SO
close as to leave no air holes or any kind OF
cavities within it. Smooth the surface, and
if you expect it will be above day or two
before you can add more, cover it up close
with q piece Of clean linen, and above that
a piece of wetted parchment. or for want
Of that, fine linen that has been dipped in

be added, these coverings are to be taken
off, and the butter applied close above tile
former, pressing it down aud smoothing il
as before, and SO on till the vessel be full.
When it is quite full, let the two covers be
spread over it with the greatest care, and
let little melted butter be poured all round
the edges, 50 as to fill up every Granny, and
.~efectually exclude the air. A little salt
may then be strewed over the whole, and
the cover be fixed down to remain close
shut till it be opened for use. If all this be
carefully done, the butter may be kept per.
fectly sound in this climate for many wears.
How many years l cannot tell; but / have
seen it two years old, and 10 every respect
as sweet and as sound as it was when only
a month old. :
"It deserves to be remarked, that butter
cured in this name does not taste we'll till
it has stood at least a fortnight after being
sailed; but after that period has elapsed Il
eats with a rich marrowy taste that no 9th
butter ever acquires; and it tastes 50 lit
tie of salt. that a person who has been &C.
customed TO eat butter cured with common
salt only, would not imagine it had got one
part of the salt necessary to pre-.
serve it."
1t is to be hoped that some of our farm
ers, on reading the above, will follow his
dire ctions. The composition mentioned is,
we have understood, much used in Goshen,
Orange Co., New York, a place famous for
its superb butter. Great care should be
taken to get the purest salt and sugar.
That known through the country az The
''ground alum is the best salt. The sugar
should be of the purest white-either the
loaf or the "fallen loaf"

SELF-MADE MEN.

eff you are to be an exception" said Mr..
Crsbbe to his young friend, "you will be the
first in all my observation and experience.
You may take the whole population of
Maryland, and select from it the fifty men
who are most distinguished for talents, or
any description Of public usefulness, and, l
will answer for it, they are all, every one
of them, men who began the world without
a dollar. Look into the public councils of
the nation, and who are they that take the
lead there? They are men who made their
own fortunes-self.made men, who began
with nothing. The rule is universal. II
.rervades our courts, State and Federal,
from the highest to the lowest. 1t is true
of all the professions. 1t is so now ; it has
been so at any time since l have known the
public men of this State or the nation; and
it will be so while our present institutions
continue. You must throw a man upon his
own resources to bringh him out. The strug-
gle which is to Jesuit in eminence is too
arduous, and must be continued too long,
to be encountered and mainted voluntarily,
unless as a matter of life and death. He
who has fortune to fall back upon will soon
slacken fIom his efforts, and finally retire
from the competition. With me it is a ques-

POETRY,
THE ISLES OF GREECE.
DY LORD BYRON.

The isles Of Greece / the isles of Greecel
Where burning Sappho loved and sung,
Where grew the arts of war and peace,
Where Delos rose and Phebus sprung!
Eternal summer gilds them yet,
But all, except their sun, is set.
The Scian and the Teiap muse,
The hero's harp, the lovers Lutte,
Have found the fame your shores ~refusei
Their place of birth alone is mute
To sounds which echo further west
Than your sires' "Islands of the Bless'd."
The mountains look on Marathon
And Marathon looks on the sea;
And musing there an hour alone,
/ dreamed that Greece might still be Tree /;
For, standing o a Persian's grave,
] could not deem myself a slave.
A king safe on the rocky brow,
Which looks Ger sea-born Salamis
And ships by thousands, lay below,

He counted them at break Of day
And when the sun set, where were they?
And where are they?-and where art thou,
My cOuntry9 On thy voiceless shore,
The heroic lay is ~tuneless now
The heroic bosom beats no more!
And must the Tyre, so long divine,
Degenerate into hands like mine?
IT'S something, in the dearth Of fame,
Though link'd among a fetter'd race,
10 feel at least a patriots shame,
Even as l sing, sufFuse my face.
For what is left the poet here?
For Greeks a blush---for Greece a tear.
Must We but weep Ger days more bless'd?
Must we but blush Pour fathers bled.
Earth render back from out thy breast
A remnant Of our Spartan dead 8
Lf the three hundred grant but three,
To make a new ThermopylR.
What, silent still? and silent all?
All no--the voices Of the dead
