ADVICE TO YOU'VE MEN.-Are you stepping
on the threshold of life? Secure good moral
character Without virtue you cannot be re-
spected; without integrity and sobriety, you
can never rise to any point of distinction and
honor.
People who have the rashness to intrude into
stations without proper authority and the requi-
site preparation for the services of the public,
not only involve others in loss, but subject them
selves to ridcule.
The trckish, decetful and dishonest, are rare
ly prosperous; for when confidence is with
drawn, poverty is like to follow.
The shortest and surest way, to live with hon.
or in the world, is TO be in truth and reality
what we would appear to be-
When once a concealment or deceit has been
practised in matters where all should be fair and
open as the day, confidence can never be restor.
ed any more than you can restore the white
bloom to the grape or plum that you have once
pressed in your hand.

RANCID BUTTER-The T" Echo du Monde Sa-
want" says:-A farmer in the vicinity Of Brus-
sells having succeeded in removing the bad smell
and taste of some butter by mixing it with chic.
ride of lime, he was encouraged by this expert
ment, and he has restored to BUTTER the taste
and odor of which were insupportabe, all the
sweetness of fresh butter. This operation is
extremely simple and practicable by all. Itcon-
ssts simply in working the butter in a sufficient
quantity of water, in which from 25 to 80 drops
of chloride of lime have been added to every
two pounds Of butter. After having mixed it
till all its parts are in contact with the WATER it
may be left in it for an hour or two, afterwards
withdrawn and worked again in clear water
The chloride of lime having nothing injurious
in it, can with safety be augmented but after
having varied the experiment, it was found that
from 25 to 80 drops to every two pounds of
butter were sufficient
Another method Of restoring sweetness and
flavor to rancid butter, said to be very effectual
by those who have tried it, is to put it into a
churn with new milk and work it till all the old
salt and rancidity is removed, after which it is
to be taken from the churn, worked and sailed
afresh.
The above should be tried on small scale
first
