PRESERVING NEAT FRESH.

1t may be of some benefit to portion Of your
patrons to know how few citizens in this Sec
ton have managed, this warm changeable win
ter, to preserve their beef pork. poultry, and
other fresh meat, for some time in good condi-
ton.
One successful method has been practised by
placing one cask within another, packing straw
between the two, on the bottom and around the
sides. The meat was frozen, and packed in
straw within the inner cask, secured well at the
top from air during the warm weather.
COL Smith, of Bristol, slaughtered large
number of fat wethers, which he designed to
market in the carcass; but the warm spell of
weather in the month of November, which was
so destructive to fresh meat in this region,
caused him to boil them for their tallow only.
The next cold turn, he dressed off about 300 of
poultry--a sudden change soon after was threat
ening them with sweat; but having at hand
an abundance of fresh sleeps pelts, he conclu-
ded, by way of experiment, to try their virtue
upon his fowls, and accordingly spread layer
upon floor or deep; then, after stacking
his poultry upon them, covered them well over
with the same in so nice manner as to keep
out the warm air through several severe thaws,
before he was blessed with snow enough to
sleigh them into a northern market, where they
in due time arrived in good condition. Had he
known previous this method of saving his meat
fresh, it would have told him dollars, by thus
keeping his fat mutton. S. w. JEwETT.

THE APPRENTICE GIRL.


Tho woro.rooms of Madame Camille,
one of the most fashionable Partisan MILL.
ners, had one day received an additional
apprentce. Her name was Gabrielle.
Her father was mason, and like too many
of the working classes drank on Sunday
what he had earned during the week. Her
mother did the best she could to support
her family, and found it hard matter with
the little she earned.
Gabrielle had suffered so much misery
from her cradle, that she had never known
that youthful spring which usually makes
to children the mere consciousness OF eXIs-
tence 10Y. Mamma, what aimee 'hng
il is TO be aliver once said child to her
mother as she bounded before her. Gabri-
ellie was sixteen, and knew not what smile
was. Her fair but faded cheek bore an en-
preston of suffering and quiet resignation,
which was more affecting than any open
demonstration of grief The child contrast
ed the house of her mistress-the abode OF
order, economy, and industry, and conse-
ouently of ease and comf6rt-with her own
home, where reigned every kind of wretch
edness that poverty and disorderly habits
could produce, and where reproaches-mosl
lust, it is true, but consequently the more
painful-gave rise to mutual recrlminatioh
between the husband and wife.
One evening, among others, the wife was
complaining that the mason had not gwen
her al he earned.

THE YOUNG IANpLORD.-One of the best and
soundest lawyers that ever sat on the bench Of
Massachusetts, was Judge p. He was al
ways distinguished for the urbanity of his man.
ners and the true benevolence OF his spirit; and
the story have now to relate illustrates, quite
forcibly, this characteristic.
Judge p. was raised in Barnstable and at the
time we refer to, assisted his mother, as much
as possible, in keeping a country inn ; mode
of subsistence to which she was driven by the
death of her husband.
One evening a way-worn traveller, armed
with bundle suspended from cane, entered the
inn and asked for something to eat. His dress
was not calculated TO impress a beholder with
any vast ideas of wealth but rather OF one who
lived by travelling on foot and begging nights
lodging from benevolent inn keepers. MIS- +.
cast a glance at the traveller, and seeing his
shabby coat formed pretty accurate estimate
of his ability to pay for whatever might DO iur'
nished him. ,,,,
She left the room to examine her larder, and
in a short time returned, and having set tefore
him a rery picked bone of beef went out OF the
room. at the same time saying to her son, 'John,
il will be worth about twenty cents.
C,nr traveller attacked the beef, and after some-
time, having perfectly macerated it, he rose and
asLed John how much he was TO pay.
WELL said John, mother thought it would
he worth about twenty cents to pick that bone,
and think SO too here's the money and he
generously presented the traveller with plsta.

A LON L. .

Twas midnight, and he sat alone
The husband OF the dead:
That day the dark dust had been thrown
Upon her buried head,
Her orphaned children round him slept,
But in their sleep would moan:
Then tell the first tear he had wept-
lie felt he was alone.
The world was full Of life and light,
But, ali no more for him.
His little world once warm and bright
II now was cold and dim.
Where was her sweet and kindly face 7
Where was her cordial tone
He gazcd around his dwelling place,
And felt he was alone.
He looked into his cold, wild heart,
All sad and unassigned
He asked how he had done his part
To one so true, SO kind
Each error past he tried TO track
In torture would atone
Would give his life to bring hers back
In yain-hc was alone.
He slept at last but when he dreamed
tPerchance her spirit woke,
A soft light DER her pill ow cleaned,
A voice in music spoke
Forgot-torgven all neglect
Thy love recalled alone;
The babes leave; oh, love, protect
still am all thine own"
