The Home OF Taste.

How easy tits to be neat--to be clean!
How easy to arrange the rooms with the
most graceful propriety! How easy it is
10 invest our houses with the truest ele-
gance! Elegance resides not with the
ufholsterers or the draper; It is not in
the mosaics. the carpetings. the rose
wood, the mahogany, the candelabra, OF
the marble ornaments: il exists in the
spirit presiding over the chambers OF
the dwelling. Contentment must al
ways be most graceful; it sheds serenity
over the scene oflts abode; it transforms
waste into garden. The home ligh-
ted by these limitations Of nobler and
brighter life may be wanting in much
which the disconnected may desire; but
to its inhabitants il will be palace, far
outviewing the oriental in brilliancy and
glory.

Apprenticeship.

We have had few thoughts on this
subject, which we have for some time
had desire to bring to the notice of
parents who have children to be sent to
trade, and young lads who are about to
enter an apprenticeship. 1t has become
exceedingly common in these days, when
parents are about to send their children
to trade sscr term of years, as if first
in~ofder, and Of first importance, for
how short time will you take the boy,
and how much will you give per ann,m.
The question as to how much will be
taught is scarcely thought of. Another
evil still greater magnitude is, that after
an apprentice has been one or two years
10 trade, and learns to perform one or
two parts of it with considerable eff
cheney, finding that he can get little
higher wages by going into new shop,
he is encouraged to do so. The new
employer, not having the trouble to learn
the boy these particular branches, can of
course pay higher price; while the first
employer has lost on the apprentice, by
his leaving just as he had become useful
But this is small part of the evil
The apprentice himself is the greatest
loser. The employers loss is tempo
rary one-but the loss of the apprentice is
loss for life. He will never afterwards
become thorough workman in his line
of business.
Let US look at this. The apprentice
has learned to do rapidly one or two
things. He enters new shop, and de-
nds~higher wages on that ground
The new employer takes him not to
learn trade but to use him in the most
profitable manner. He will spend no
time in learning him new branches, for
he knows that in a year or SO the ap-
prentice will be off.
The consequence is that when the
apprentice has arrived at the age of free.
dom, as il is termed, he has learned but
half or fourth part of the trade. He
is forever disqualified from carrying on
business for himself or any one else
He is like cripple with one arm, one
eye, or one leg. He never can corn
mand full wages as a journeyman, but will
always pass as q second or third rate
workman.
We have been led to these remarks,
particularly at this time, from the diff
Guilty in our case of obtaining thorough
well-trained printer. We are credibly
informed while in Albany few days
since, that there are at least twenty prin-
tiers out of employ, great share of the
time; while the same individual inform
ed US that he had been trying for three
months past to obtain the services of a
thorough workman. We know this to
be the case too, in other branches of bu-
siness.
Let parents and apprentices consider
well these remarks. A trade, no matter
what the trade may be, is fortune
With it he is independent without it,
or with only half of trade, he is but
little better than common paupers.-SfiiI-
uater Gazette.

The HAIR.-Each hair has tube, con
tanning All oil, of color similar to ii.
own. Hair contains at least ten dis.
tinct substances: sulphate of lime and
magnesia, chlorides of sodium and potas.
stun, phosphate of lime, peroxide o
iron, silica, lactate of amonia, oxide OF
manganese and margaim. Of these
sulphur is the most prominent and il is
upon this that certain metallic salts op-
crate in changing the color of the hair
Thus, when the salts of lead or oil
mercuy are applied, they enter into com.
bination with the sulphur, and black
sulphuret of the metal is formed. A
common formula for paste to dye the
hair, is mixture Of lithrage, Stacked
lime, and bicarbonate Of potash. Differ
ent Shades may be given by altering the
proportions of these articles. Black
hair contains iron and manganese and
no magnesia; while fair hair is is desti.
tute of the two first substances, but pos

Hon HENRY A. WIsE-A Flour
The Snow Hill (Md.) Shield, published
in Worcester county, opposite TO Accom-
&C, Va, states that Reform meeting,
held at Temperanceville, on Saturday
week, Mr.. Wise, who is candidate for
the Virginia Reform Convention, provo
ked an alteration of words with Mr..
David Wallop, an::"inhueniial democrat"
who opposes Mr.. WIS election on the
ground Of principle. After some angry
words between them, Mr. Wise is said to
have made some reckless declaration in
reference to Mr.. Wallop and the motives
which prompted his course, which Wal
lop pronounced sd lie." Upon
this Mr.. Wise dealt him a blow, which,
the Shield says, would probably have
cost Wise his life, but for the interfer-
ence OF bystanders who prevented the
difficulty. Wallop is still unredressed
and as both are men Of high mettle,
"the end is not yet.'

SEE THEE STILL.
BY WILLIS GAYLORD CLARKE
l see thee still

see thee still
Remembrance, faithful to her trust,
Calls thee in beauty from the dust;
Thou contest in the morning light
Thourt with me through the gloomy night
In dreams meet thee as of old,
Then thy soft arms my neck enfold,
And thy sweet voice is in my ear;
In every scene to memory dear
Isee thee still
see thee still
In every hallowed token round,
This little ring thy finger bound
This lock of hair thy forehead shaded,
This silken chain by thee was braided,
The flowers, all withered now like thee,
Beloved thou didst Gull for me;
This book was thine-here didst t hou read
This picture, ah! yes here, indeed,
see thee still!
see thee still
Here was thy summer-noon's retreat,
lulS was thI iuNoiitC lhC-Si'tC oode,
This was thy chamber, where each day,
/ sat and watched thy sad decay;
Here, on this bed, thou last didst lie,
Here, on this pillow, thou didst DIE!
Dark hour once more its woes unfold
AS then saw thee, pale and cold,
] see thee still
see thee still
Thou art not in the tomb confined;
Death cannot claim the immortal mind;
Let earth close DER its sacred trnst,
Yet goodness dies not in the dust;
Thee, oh beloved, tits not thee,
Beneath the collins lid see;
Thou to fairer land art gone
There, let me hope, my journey done,
To see thee still

melt slowly, and let the heat be so grad
uated, that the melted mass does not
come to the boil in less than about two
hours. During all this time the butter
must be frequently stirred, say once in
about five or ten minutes, SO that the
whole mass may be thoroughly intermix-
ed, and the top and bottom change pla-
ces from time to time. When the melt
ed mass boils, the fire is to be so regu.
lated as to keep the butter at Sente
boil, for about two hours more, the stir
ring being continued, but not necessarily
SO frequently as before. The vessel is
then TO be removed from the fire and sci
aside to cool and settle, still gradually;
this process o. cooling is supposed TO
require about two hours. The melted
mass is then, while still liquid, to be care
fully poured into the crock or jar in
which it is to be kept. In process of
cooling there is deposited whitish chez
sy sediment, proportioned to the quanti-
ty Of butter, which is TO be carefully
prevented from intermixing with the pre-
served butter. Butter so prepared will
last for years perfectly good, without. any
particular precaution being taken to keep
| it from the air, or without the slightest
| addition Of salt.
