BUTTER CONSUMED IN LONDON. was un-
known TO the ancient Greeks and Romans in
cooking. The ancient medical writer's do moi
mention it as an article of food though they as
we'll as writers on agriculture have given US par.
ticular notice of milk, oil and cheese. 1t is
very little used in Spain, Portugal, and the South
of France, but in England its consumption is
very great, both for food and culinary purposes.
Itisbelieved that in London, the yearly consump-
ton, for each individual, is no less than &c
pounds; and supposing the metropolis to contain
100000 inhabitants the total consumption
would be 1880 tons. Add to this 1000 tons
for victualling ships, and we arrive at total ol
2l 900 tons, which at ten pence per pound
would be worth 5000 1000.
1t is estimated that a good COW will produce
in year 1863 pounds Of butter, on which calcu'
ation, $1,000 cows would be requisite for the
supply Of the London market, alone, in this one
article of food and luxury.

MAKING SUGAR.-A patent for an improve
ment in making sugar was taken from the patent
office a few weeks ago, by A. NJ. F. Chevt. He
says, "what claim as my invention is the EN-

lime in its native state, and the employment
of an agent which may take off the lime after
its action, without having anything soluble in

MY SISTERS.
~ AMELIA wELBY.

Like flowers that softly bloom together,
Upon one fair and fragile stem,
Mingling their sweets in sunny weather,
Ere strange, rude hands have parted them
So were we linked unto each ether,
Sweet sisters, in our childish hours,
For then our fond and gentle mother,
To US was ike Ae stsaA 10 flowers.
She was the golden thread that bound US,
In one bright chain together here,
TIL Death unloosed the chord around us,
And were severed far and near.
The lowrets stem, when broke or shattered,
Must cast its blossoms TO the wind,
Yet round the buds, though widely scattered,
The same sOA perfume still we find.
And thus, although the tie is broken,
That linked us round our mothers knee,
The memory of the words we've spoken,
When we were children light and free,
Will, like the perfume of each blossom,
Live in our hearts where'eF we roam,
AS when we slept on one fond bosom,
And dwet within one happy home.
know that changes have come O'e' US;
Sweet sisters, we are not the same,
For different paths now lie before US,
And all three have different name:
And yet, if sorrows dimming fingers
Have shadowed DER each youthful brow,
So much of light around them fingers,
cannot trace those shadows now.
Ye both have those who love ye only,
Whose dearest hopes are round ye thrown
While like stream that wauders lonely,
Am |, the youngest widest one.
Ny heart is like the wind that beareth
Sweet scents upon its unseen wing
The wind that for no creature careth,
Yet stealeth sweets from every thing.
Itbath rich thoughts forever leaping.
Up like the waves of flashing seas
That with their music still keeping
Soft time with every fitful breeze.
Each leaf that in the bright air quivers,
The sounds from hidden sOlitudes,
And the deep flow of far-off rivers,
And the loud rush of many floods
All these and more, stir in my bosom
Feelings that make my spirit glad
Like dew-drops shaken in a blossom;
And yet there is a something sad
Mixed with those thoughts, like clouds that hove
Above us in the quiet air,
Yelling the moons pale beauty over
Like dark spirit brooding there.
But, sisters, these wild thoughts were never
Yours, for ye would not love like me
To gaze upon the stars forever
To hear the winds wild melody;
Ye'd rather look on smiling faces,
And linger round cheerful hearth,
Than mark the stars bright hiding places
AS they peep out upon the earth.
But, sisters, as the stars of even
Shrink from Days golden, flashing eye,
And melting in the depths of Heaven,
Veil their soft beams within the sky;
So shall ye pass, the joyous hearted,
The fond the young, like stars that wane,
Till every link of earth be parted,
To form in Heaven one mistic chain.

maker, has invented machine for making
bricks which will work wonders IN chcapening
