ADVICE TO THE LADIEs.--An exchange
paper gives the following advice to the fair
sex, which viii doubtless be treasured up for
future reference -:
'lf ladies would eat meat but once day,
pickles one week, and sweatmeats but once
ayear-ift they would take a cold bath every
nlgnt and morning, and would walk five miles
aay taey would have no need of cosmetics
TO make them beautiful"

MILK.

Cream cannot rise through a great
depth of milk. IF milk is therefore de-
sired to retain its cream for time, it
should be put into deep, narrow dish !;
and if it be desired to free it most COM
pletely of cream, it should be poured in
to broad, fiat dish, not much exceeding
one inch in depth. The evolution of
cream is facilitated by a rise, and retard-
ed by depression of temperature. At
the usual temperature of the dairy, at 50
deg. of Farenheit, all the cream. will
probably rise in thirty-six hours; at 10
deg. it will perhaps rise in half that time,
and when the milk is kept near the freez-
ing point the cream will rise very slowly,
because it becomes partially colldltied.-
In wet and cold weather the milk is less
rich than in dry and warm; and ON this
account more cheese is obtained in cold,
and butter in warm, though not thundery
weather. The season has its effect
The milk in spring is supposed to be best
for drinking, and hence it would be best
suited for calves. In summer it is best
suited for cheese, and in autumn cows
give richer milk and consequently more
butter. The mornings milk is richer than
the evenings. The last drawn milk of
each milking, at all times and seasons,
is richer than any other part Of the
milk, aud much richer than the frat
drawn, which is the poorest

Barmur,, and Jenny Lind.

THEIR INCOME AND EXPENsE.-The
editor of the Cleveland Plaindealer, writ
ing from Cincinnati, when Jenny Lind
was there, says:
A person at distance of Cleveland,
has but little idea Of the costliness, mag
tude and magnifcene of this show. Its
like was never before seen. There are
forty attendants now under pay--one OF
them receives one thousand dollars per
night; two one thousand dollars per week;
several one hundred dollars per day, and
so on, down to ten, FIVE, and two dollars
day, and all expenses paid. This
makes an aggregate of about three thou
sand dollars per day, on an average,
whether singing, travelling, or doing
nothing.
Who, besides Barnum, would under
take such a risk, and what show in the
world besides this, would make it pay?
But the wonder as to the expenses is
nothing when compared to the mysteries
of the enormous income. We speak by
the card when we say, that the gross re-
ceipt5 from the tickets already sold here
are trife over sixty thousand dollars.
1t is discouraging fact to US dime-a-day
delivers that Barnum is sailing down
as net profits by the concern about twen-
ty thousand per week. This we got from
zone who knows" He has constant ap-
plication for his money, which he loans
freely, but securely. He is also flooded
with invitations by letter and otherwise,
to devote to public and private charities,
which he does to an extent the world as
vet knows not Of, but will some day, We
know.
l have spent most of the morning with
Barnum and his associates, and think l
never saw so large business SO systemat-
iealIy conducted. He is the reigning
prince, sits at his table with velvet slip
pers, genteel morning gown and blue
velvet cap, with golden tassel; receives
messages, messengers, and telegraph des-
patches from all parts of the country;
talks, and dictates to clerks the answer
ing business, at the same time entertains
his friends with much useful information
and the best of Jokes. The great secret
Of his success lies in his perfect knowl-
edge of human nature, coupled with great
boldness, energy and tact in adopting
means to an end He never reasons
conclusions are ever present with
him. While another is thinking, he is
acting, and when other showmen are cal
culating the gains, he is counting the
dimes.
So much for the Hero of this troup.-
The Heroine We have not seen-Jenny
is as yet quite invisible. 1t was late at
midnight when we arrived last night, and
this morning she, although a Lutheran,
was off with Bishop Purcell to mass
before we were up.
Barnum paid SIS per day for her
board and findings, while in Louisville
The last check from Barnum's cashier
was handed her yesterday, amounting to
thirteen thousand dollars. Notwithstand-
ing her large donations, she has acculnu-
lated from as00,00 to 81 100000. She
is a little inclined to be home sick, and
anticipating such an event, left a loop in
the contract with Barnum, whereby she
can stop at the one hundreth concert by
paying E., SCI, 900. It was through fear
Of tais forfeiture that Earnum withdrew
his appointments on tie lakes

Miss Susan NIPpER gives z loud certificate
in favor of some of the popular patent medi-
cincs of the day. She was suffering from
general debility, sick head ache, heart burn,
indigestion, tapeworms, constipation, rheuma-
tism in the back shoulders, and hips, and be-
sides these she didn't feel well herself fmore'n
half the time" At length, she says, 81 was
brought very low that my most imPudent
friends did not know me, and the regular IA
cuties didn't expect me to live from one end
to tie other"
"About this time a friend recommended, as
the last resort, that should try few bottles
of the Pictorial Oxenated Compound Saxfaril-
la Extract of Wild Cherry Wine Bitters, sat
sfaction given or money refunded, to be well
taken before shaken, destroy the label as soon
as possible, no pay no cure, beware of coun-
terfeits-none are genuine unless the prOpri-
etor is on the wrapper. took three dozen
bottles of this most truly invaluable medl-
cine, and it gave immediate relief in three
months"
Personally appeared the said Susan Nip
per, as aforesaid, and swore to the foregoing
and said she'd be darned-if it wasn't true.

The Charms of Life.

/. There are thousand things in this world
to affiict and sadden-but, o how many
that are beautiful and good The world
teens with beauty-with objects that glad
den the eye and warm the heart. We might
be happy if we would. There are ills we can
not escape, the approach of disease and death,
of misfortune, the sundering of earthly ties,
and the canker-worm of grief, but vast ma
jority of evils which beset US, might be u
voided. The course of intempcrence, inter-
woven as it is with all the ligaments of soci-
ETY., is one which never strikes but to destroy.
There is not one bright page upon the re-
cord of its progress-nothing to shield it from
the heartiest execration of the human race.
1t should not exist; it must not. Do away
with all this-let wars come to an end, and
let friendship, charity, love, purity, and kind
ness, mark the intercourse between man and
man. We are too selfish, as if the world
was made for US alone. How much happier
would we be, were we to labor more earnest
ly to promote each others good. God has
blessed us with a home which is not all dark
There is sunshine everywhere-in the sky,
upon the earth, there would be in most hearts,
if we would look around US. The storms die
away and a bright sun shines out. Summer
drops her tinted curtain upon the earth, which
is very beautiful, even when autumn breathes
her changing breath upon il. God relgns in
heaven. Murmur not at Being 50 bounti-
ful, and we can live happier than We do.

DREss.-Eloquence in dress is cheap and
simple. What it costs a man for tobacco who
uses it, is sufficient, if added to the present
cost of his clothing, to dress him with ele-
gance. A few more shillings yard for cloth,
the work of tasteful tailor, decent regard
to the prevailing mode, and certain likeness
and simplicity, is all! Elegance is never
gaudy, never outre, never out of fashion, nor
in the extreme of fashion. 1t allows ofa few
ornaments, and 10 studied display. The diff
ference of a single dollar in an article of dress
may make the whole distinction between ell
egance and vulgarity. A single tawdy or
nament may spoil the effect of the best tail
or's workmanship The slightest eccentrici-
ty of cut betrays the inborn rowdy.

tFrom Ike Ner York Tribune,
The Rich Man.

DC
by J. w. WHITFIELD.
The Rich Man thinks his gold his own,
And all his gold can bring;
The Rich Man thinks, when thus he think
A very foolish thing.
He builds palace, beautiful;
The graceful columns rise,
And while he thinks them all his own,
They glad thousand eyes.
He spreads his floral garden round
The roses bud and bloom;
Bat with himself we all enjoy
Their beauty and perfume.
HIS noble chargers paw and prance-
The Rich Mans heart is proud;
He sees them with one pair of eyes,
But thousands have the crowd.
His parlor walls are loaded down
With gems of art-to please
Himself, he thinks-to please in truth,
The poorest man that sees.
The stately hall, the cultur'd grove =
The park with pebbled way
The lcaping fount that sweetly sings,
For these he has to pay
And pay that other eyes may gaze
Ana feast without care;
The JOY is ours-the task his own
To please them and prepare.
