Homes and Husbands.
A TALE FOR YONG WIVES.

The sultry summer day was past, and
the cool air of evening was murmuring
among the green leaves, and bending the
slender stalks of the flowers, as it swept on
ward to fan the heated brow of the hus-
bandman, who had toiled throughout the
long day beneath the glowing sky.
But to none among the band of home
ward bound laborcrs did the evening breeze
seem more refreshing than to three, whose
basket of tools, borne over their shoulders,
denoted them carpenters. They had, in
truth, passed the whole of the day on the
top of lofty house, preparing it for states,
and had suffered not little from the in
tense heat; and now, with wearied frames,
they were pursuing their way home. At
the entrance Of the village where they lived,
Draper, Gale, and Burt separated, each to
seek his own dwelling.
There was not neatcr or cleaner abode
in the village than that awaiting the recep-
ton of Draper. Nota speck of dust dimm'd
the briiliancy Of the windows, around which
huttered curtains as white as snow :; every
article of furniture was polished till it shone
like mirror fresh flowers breathed forth
their fragrance from the chimney piece, a
spotless cloth covered the little supper ia
Bile, and rs. Draper and her children
were as at as was possible to be.
Far different the scene which awaited
Gale his house was in disorder, his chill
dres untidy, and his wife absent. The
last named evil, however, was soon reme-
died, for one of the children, dispatched in
quest of the mother, soon returned with her.
"You are here already, rom,'' she ex-
claimed, rushing in breathlcssly, in gown
that certainly had seen quite weeks hard
service. II had no thought it was so late
But supper will soon be ready: Lightthc

By having large tubs with false bottoms,
covered with clean coarse cloth, into which
the butter is placed and danced upon, with
water to wash it as much as is required,
all the cheesy matter is pressed through
the coarse cloth, and runs off with the wa
ter of cleansing. This is most efficient
and effectual way of working butter for

countries should be well tramped or beat
and washed in some way, and it should be

Rancid butter can be completely cured
of its bad taste and smell, by melting it
in clean tin dish, adding some saleratus,
and straining it through clean cloth. At

the butter, takes away the bad smell, pre-
vents it from spelling again, however long
it may be kept, and it really has very
beautiful appearance. The butter should
be kept stirred after it is all dissolved,
about ten minutes. One ounce Of salera-
tus will purify four pounds of butter. A
thick sediment falls to the bottom, and a
very thick scum gathers on the top. But

Sacredness of Tears.

There is sacredness in tears. They
are not the mark of weakness, but of pow
er. They speak more eloquently than ten
thousand tongues. They are the messen-
gers of overwhelming grief, of deep contri-.
ton, of unspt akable love. If there were
wanting any argument to prove that man
is not mortal, would look for it in the
strong, convulsive emotion of the breast,
when the soul has been deeply agitated,
when the fountains Of feeling are rising,
and when tears are gushing forth in crystal
streams o, speak not harshly of the
stricken one-weering in silence Break
not the deep solcmnity by rude lau ,hter,
or intrusive footsteps. Despise not wo-
mans tears-they are what make her an
angel Scoff not if the stem heart IF
manhood is sometimes melted to tears of
sympathy-they are what he lp to elevate
him above the brute. 1 love to see tears
of affection. They are painful tokens,
but still most holy. There is pleasure ia
tears-an awful pleasure! If4here were
none on earth to shed a tear for me, I
sh uld be 10th to live and if no one might
weep over my grave, l could never die in
peace. DR. Johnson.

For the Literary Echo.
Where is Beauty?

Where is beauty' Ask the maiden
With the dark and flashing eyes;
"Come with me-" she gaily answers,
81 will show thee beauty's prize"
Forth she leads thee to a mirror
Which reflects her lovely face,
And with smiles she softly whispers,
"There is beauty'-there is grace"
Where is beauty Ask the miscr
Who hath stores Of glittering gold,
Follow me" he answers slowly,
''Its resort | will unfold"
Then with cautious steps he leads thee
To dark and dingy cell,
Shows thee heaps of wealth and tells thee
"There alone doth beauty dwell"
Where is beauty? Ask the warrior
"Yonder! look !" he loudly cries,
"Where Ambitions craggy mountain
Towers aloft toward the skies,
Crowned by Fames triumphant temple
With its proudly glittering dome,
Pearly gates and lofty pillars;
There, oh, there is beauty's home"
Where is beauty? Ask the christian
Worn with earthly toll and care,
"Child of earth" he mcekly answers,
Listen will tell thee where.
In yon heaven, where white robed angels
Gods undying love declare
Round the Great white throne assembled
Beauty dwells, for God is there"

Butter.

..i Butter. &c.,. '...
Milk is the most natural and common
food Of man. Out of milk two other COM
mon articles Of food are obtained, viz,
cheese and butter; butter exists in the
form of very small globules, and out of 100
parts of cows milk, 3.75 parts of butter
are obtained. Human milk contains a.
bout one-sixth more butter than the above.
Butter is indebted to substance called
"butyrine" for its fine favor. Casoin the
chaesy matter Of the milk, if not we'll re-
moved from the butter, by working and
washing, soon putriies, and gives the but
ter ba taste. Butter does not appear
to have been known to the .ancicnts, at
least 50 far as history reveals knowledge,
but we cannot believe that butter was not
known to them for all this. We read of
"a land ,lowng with milk and honey" but
no but-ar, still this is not conclusive a.
gdinst the reasonable conclusion that the
Old Hebrews did know what it was. The
Oldest hint, historically, about butter, is
given by Herodotus, who ascribes the use
of it to the Scythians. Hippocrates also
alludes to the Scythian butter, and recon-
mends its use externally for medicine In
the time of Galen, butter was known and
used, but to very limited extent, among
the Greeks and Romans in the second
century Pliny ascribes the invention o!
butter to the Germans, but this only shows
that the Romans became acquainted with
it through the Germans. " ..'
1t was much used as pomatum both
by the Greek and Roman ladies. Pliny
recommends it to be mixed with honey and
rubbed over the gums to ease the pain Of
teething, and ulcers in the mouth "a hint
that may be useful to us moderns. The
Romans anointed the bodies of their chill
dren with butter to make them pliable,
and it appears that they did not know but
ter as we do, in firm cakes, but only as a
semi-huid, like thick olive OIL This is not
wond Arful, owing to the general warmth of
Southern Italy, Neither the Spauiards or
the Portuguese know much about butter,
and the inhabitants of Mexico seldom eat
it, In the city of Mexico it costs one dol
lar per pound the most wealthy classes
do not use so much of it as the poorest
amongst us in fact they do not consider
it an essential article of food--we do, and
could not, to use a common phrase, olive
without it," 1t is justly believed that
more butter is consumed in the Northern
States cf America than in any other coun-
try having the same amount of population
in the world The Hollanders are distin-
guished for making good butter, so also
a!e the Northern Germans, Norwegians,
and Danes The English, Irish and Scotch,
make and consume good deal Of butter,
especially the Scotch, who are, or at least
were, almost half Jewish in their feelings
toward the use of pork and lard.
The great secret of making good utter,
IS cleanliness and plenty of elbow grease.
In some parts of Ireland but especially in
Devonshire, England, and Ayrshire, Scot
land, the butter made has had world
wide fame. The plan pursued seems to
be for the dairy maids to wash their un-
derstandings, and perform the same oper-
atoms as the French and Portuguese who

"Where were you, Mary ;" inquired
Gale, after pause.
81 had just stepped out to see how Mrs.
Blain's baby was poor little dear"
"Mother has been gone ever since din
ner," said the eldest child, boy of some
six years old
"You abominable little story-teller, how

all - exclaimed the mother, irritated sinto
boxing the speakers ears for his interfsr
ence.
The child run away crying, and Mrs.
Gale went on prepa ing her husbands sup
per, more industriously than rapidly, since
she had to clean most of the articles she re-
quired, ere she could use them. Then, by
that time, the children became cross and
peevish, because they were sleepy; and
when supper was at length ready, she had
to 90 UP stairs to put th,m to bed {; then
returning, she swallowed her own meal
hastily, and putting aside the dirty plates,
declared she must now 90 and wash.

"Well 50 l meant bat / was interrupt

gown. '.
$50 it would appear, indeed ~ she cried
angrily. 81 suppose you expect to see
me as clean and neat, and everything as
we'll done as if 1 were lady, and kept a
couple of servan's!'
"No, Mary" said her husband, gravely,
81 form no such extravagant expectations;
all ask is, that the hours | am working
hard to earn our daily bread might be spent
by you in some occupation more profitable
than gossping, and so let me find aquiet
and orderly house on my return, and a.
companion such as you used to be in the
earlier days of cur w2ddel life"
But the affectionate tone Of the last
words exercised no softening influence on
the aroused spirit of the indignant wife,
and quarrel ensued, which ended, as it
had often done before, in Gale taking his
hat, and finding at the public house the
comfort he could not find in his own.
Meanwhile Burt passed through his
trim little garden entered his pretty cot
ia re home, and setting down his basket,
seated himsel YEARLY by the window
ooh, Burt, [ am sure you never wiped
your shoes when you came in - was his
wife's salutation as she entered the room.
"Well, my dear, if L did not, there
could be no mud on them this weather."
he replied.
"No, but I'll be bound there was plenty
of dust on them" she retorted, Grossly,

the needle to the pole. A negotiation between
the United States and Switzerland is before
the Government. which, in accordance with the
Swiss constitution, confers advantages upon
Christians which are withheld from the Israel
ties. The Rev. DR.. LilienthM, having had his
attention drawn to the subject, addressed a
