Dutch Butter-Making.

There they come, the milk-maid and the
boy. The boy is towing little boat along
the canal, and the maid, with her full blue pet
ticoat and her pink jacket or bed-gown, walks
beside him. Now they stop; she brings from
the boat her copper milkpais, as bright as ever
was gold, and with cooling greeting TO her
cows, sets down her little stool on the grass,
and begins to milk. The boy having moored
his boat, stands beside her with the special pail,
which is to hold the last pint from each COW
the creamy pint which comes last, because it
has risen TO the top in the udder. Not drop
is left to turn sour and fret the COW. The boy
fetches and carries the pals, and moves as if
he trod on eggs when conveying the full pals
to the boat. When a1oat, there 10 no shaking
at all. Smoothly glides the cargo Of pals up
TO the very entrance of the dairy, where the
deep jars appropriate 10 this meal Of milk
are ready-cooled with cold water, if it is
summer, and warmed with hot water if the
weather requires it. When the time for churn-
ing comes, the Dutch woman takes matter as
quietly as hitherto. She softly tastes the milk
in the jars ill she finds therein the due degree
Of acidity; and then she lesurely pours the
whole-cream and milk together-into a pro-
digiously stout and tall upright churn. She
must exert herself, however, If she is to work
that plunger. She work it NOT she! She
would as soon think of working the mills on
the dikes with her own plump hands. No
she has servant under her to do it. She puts
her dog into wheel which is connected with
the plunger and as the animal turns round,
what a splashing, wallopPiDg, and frizzing is
heard from the closed churn! The quiet dai-
ry-maid knows by the changes of the sound
how the formation of the butter proceeds. -
When she is quite sure that there are multi

Growing Taste for Music.

There is a musical improvement in this
country. Our people are trying to become mu-
sical. 1t has been discovered to the satisfac-
ton of many, that neither the dull solemnity
Of psalms, nor the training up and down Of
flies and drums, nor the ear-lickling, foot-lift-
ing, 6ddling out of old tunes, innocent of all
meaning except release from care and ceremo-
ny. can be deemed musical experiences and
that no very just idea of the worth of music in
the scale Of social influences and Of individual
pursuits, can properly be predicated upon these
three forms of the art 1t is seen that to the
musical soul these are this sustenance and
(thanks to the myriad minded activity which
is exchanging all the products, both material
and spiritual, of all the nations, and so prePar-
ing the way for all to become ONE } tones have
reached US from those ancient shores, where
the Goddess Of Harmony herself dwells, and
inspires her MOzarts and Beethovens with
great emotions and great art to utter them in
strains that haunt all souls with never dying
hopes and aspirations.
Yes the practical American begins TO re-
spect Music as an Art, as language of the
soul, as part Of the permanent revelations of
God, and as one of the great divine agencies
by which Humanity even now, is led on toward
the ful6lment Of its glorious destiny. Once it
was only as an amusement, (more or less re-
fined, il is true; but still as an amusement,)
or as a mere church ceremony, that men
thought of music. II is beginning 10 be es-
teemed as Art. And (whatever moralists may
saw npainst the German fashion Of using the
word artist and artistical to denote highest
accomplishments of man in his native sphere J
we maintain that when anything is taken up
and pursued in the spirit in which a true artist
always lives and works, that thing becomes
the most earnest, the most elevating, the most
religious occupation of which man is capable,
and the most productive Of permanent blessings
Of mankind. We are beginning to respect the
Art, to look to it for such influences as we do
to Poetry, to Eoquence, to anything that comes
from the most religious depths Of Man. That
is something, when we have not the genius to
create. Musical as yet we are not, 10 the
true sense. We have no composers; no great
performances in our churches (; no well-en-
dowed and thorough academies to train the ar
tist. or to educate the public taste by frequent
hearings Of the finest compositions in very
limited degree. Our concerts are attended
more for fashion, it may be, than from real
love. Our daughters are taught the piano as
an accomplishment, to make them ladies ;
rather than to inspire their womanhood with
the Music which has been termed the femi-
nine principle in the Universe. ha o
Yes these are fine beginnings. Some ex-
cellent societies in our cities are learning the
love of what is great and permanent, by their

the long and serpentine windings of forests,
which stand in beautiful relief in contrast with
intervening prairies. The observer looks far
down into the deep gorges and upon the rugged
hills of the adjacent streams-he sees the beau
tiful blending Of prairies and woodland, now
dense and matted, now light and feecy-the
dim outlines Of villages and hamlets scattered
over the wide expanse-the shadows Of feet
ing clouds, and numberess objects of minor in
terest. On all sides, waves of verdure, spark
ling in the sunlight, meet The eye and enchant
the senses. But description of such scene
is tame and insipid. 1t should be seen-and
is, past question, the finest landscape view in

Erial Feats.

A Paris correspondent gives the following
account Of new balloon feat
The feat Of jumping from balloon, the
jumper sustained by an India-rubber rope, was
duly performed on Thursday. 1t was the
most stupendous exhibition of daring and ad-
dress that the Parisians have yet been permit
ted to witness. From one side of the car of
the balloon hung the Inda-rubber cord de-
scending $50 feet, and then returning and be-
ing fastened to the other side of the car. 1t
thus formed strong loop. The athlete was
dressed as Mercury his body, from the neck
to the small of his back, was enclosed in a
framework which enabled him to endure the
suspension without wrenching or dislocation.
The rope passed through an eyelet in the mid
die of the back, placed so that he was held In
perfect equilibrium. When the balloon had
reached an altitude double that Of the supposed
elasticity of the cord, the voitigeur appeared
on the edge of the car, looked over, shut MS
eyes, aud dove off into space The eyeie'
slipped along the rope, SO that the hrst 10y
feet were positive fall through the ar With
out any resistance or break.
The rest of the way was an elongation OF
the rope. 1t stretched four times its length,
making in all a decent Of 600 feet, accomplish
ed in two seconds. After having attained its
lowest point, the rope contracted once, per-
'haps 200 feet, and then descended again.
There was no further rebound, and no oscil-
lation; the voltigeur lay calmly Graded in
mid air, and probably spent the leisure he was
now permitted to enjoy in recovering his breath
and contemplating the prospect. The aero
naut above now commenced at the windlass'
and gradually wound his dangling friend up
again. In four minutes, he climbed over the

The Tree that Never Fades.

Mary said George, next summer will
not have any garden. Our pretty tree is dy-
ing, and won't love another as long as live.
| will have bird next summer, and that will
stay all winter
George, don't you remember my beautiful
canary! II died in the middle Of the summer,
and we planted bright flowers in the ground
where we buried it, My bird did not live as
long as the tree.'
Well, don't see as we can love anything
Dear little brother died before the bird, and
loved him better than any bird, or tree or flow
err. Oh, / wish we could have something to
love that wouldn't die =
The day passed. During the school ol-hours,
George and Mary had almost forgotten that
their tree was dying; but at evening, as they
drew their chairs around the table where their
mother was sitting, and began TO arrange the
seeds they had been gathering, the remem-
brance Of the tree came upon them.
Mother sald Mary, you may give these
seeds TO cousin John never want another
garden aA
Yes,' added George, pushing the papers in
which he had carefully folded them, towards
his mother, you may give them all away
If | could find some seeds of tree that would
never fade, ! should like then to have garden.
| wonder, mother, if there ever was such a
garden!'
Yes, George, | have read of garden where
the trees never die.'
A real garden, mother =
Yes, my son. In the middle of the garden,
have been told, there runs a pure river Of
water, clear as crystal, and on each side of the
river, is the tree Of Hte-a tree that never fades
That garden is Heauen There you may love,
and love forever. There will be no death-no
fading there. Let your treasure be in the tree
Of life, and you will have something to which
your hearts can cling without fear, and with
out disappointment. Love the Saviour here,
and he will prepare you TO dwell in those
green pastures, and beside those still waters. =

The Rev. DR.. Kennedy, pastor of the Methodist
Church, Washington street, Brooklyn, delivered a
lecture upon this subject on Monday evening" at the
Institute in that city. There pretty numerous
and highly respectable audience present. At quar-
ter before o'clock the reverend gentleman entered
the room and was received with applause. The lee
turer commenced by commenting upon the haste and
enthusiasm, If not mpetuosity, with which the ma
tonal mind moves, if at all convinced of the impor
lance OF any new mechanical scientific, political re-
ligious, or commercial discovery or doctrine leading
the people to neglect of the more sedate duties of
socialite In defiance of this principle if not deemed
presumptive, he would take q seat at the domestic
firesde, and discourse upon subject which was well
examined and understood before mems minds were
impeed with telegraph speed and one hundred horse
power. The lecturer then reviewed the different or
ders OF pursuit in life which man ia destined to fol-
low for subsistence, assigning the first place to the
agricuturist and pointed out the different effects
which habits and daily engagements have up
on connubal bliss. He then showed how the
perfect Of enjoyment of this earthly blessing
could be obtained by the mutual liberation OF
faults and foibes between husband and wife,
and due observance of that courtesy and at
tention shown to each other prior to marriage &C
companied by Difference and respect. The conclud
ing portion OF the lecture was taken up with some
terse and very opposite remarks upon the training
up and discipline of children, during which, the
speaker said When that great alarm shall be sounded
with the trump of an archange and the fire of the
last day shall wrap the world in one wide scene Of
conlagration, may those angel ones whose duty it
shall be to save the pure amid the wreck of matter
and the crash Of WORLDS evince to you the holer
friendship Of . higher state; and amid those man
sions where the gloom of midnight never falls
where alarms neversounded and where the terri
c glare of upheavng ruin never breaks upon the ear
of affnghted woman or shuddering childhood where
the brow OF eternal brightness spans the path upon
which the upright come to the house Of God-there
may you meet

family in heaven.
