The following beautiful passage forms

Lard Making in Cincinnati.

The way they make Lard in Cincinnati
isn't TO be passed BY without notice. The
features of the process is rapidty. Scarcely
is the shrll squeel of porky done reso unding
on the air, than his fairness is already for sale
ifnot in use by the good house wife. A cor
respondent gives the following picture Of the
process:
when they kill hogs, they drive them ia
TO pen till the pen is full, then they drive
in lot more. What do you suppose the
hogs do? Why they stand up on end
Then one man goes and knocks them on the
head another cuts their throats; two more
hook on and drag them our, and dump them
in The scoIding bath. Alongside of the bath
is Iatle forty or fifty feet in length, one
end being higher than the other. The hog
is taken from the bath and placed on the up
per end Of the table, and No. takes off the
best brstles, No. 2 the next best, and No. 8
cleans him Of all the hair he had. No. 4
takes off the hoofs, and so on, ad infinitum.
SO that when the hog has arrived at the foot
of the table, he is ready to be hung up and
dressed. In a well regulated slaughter house.
u is said that q hog is dressed complete IN
every minute. The entrils, just as they are
taken from The beast, are thrown into big
kettle and tried out, and the lard from them
is as white aud clear as that from the leaf,

How to Make CraYons.

Every school,room has, or should have,
black>boards. On these, chalk is almost
universally employed. There are many
objections to the use of chalk, not the
least Of which is, that after problem is
performed, the finger and clothing pre-
sent dirty white appearance. Crayons
are far preferable. Could they be gen.
orally employed, It would be favor done
TO some delicate hands, to say nothing OF
large amount of wearing apparel.
White crayons may be made of Paris
white, or Spanish white, which are near,
" the same, and wheat -four and water
The correct proportions are five pounds
OF Paris white, one pound Of -four, and
sufficient water to make dough Of these
materials, hard enough not to crumble
and soft enough to roll. Little balls o.
this are then rolled out into cylinders
about the size Of pipestem, and laid
away in warm place, or in the sun, tc
dry :. the drying will generally require
from twelve to twenty>four hours.
The process of rolling may be per
formed upon a table, or any fiat board
This process will be expedited somewhat
and the crayons be Of more equal size

with handle on the top, and with the

as tie crayons are rolled. With an ap.
paratus simple as this, crayons may be
made with great rapidity and cheapness

his preventive for four years, with per-
feet success, while others in the same
field who neglected it lost their entire

Chase, the man at whose instance Gen.
Peasee was lately arrested in Washington :
Sam is queer character, although as era
zy as loon. He was in The Iunatic hospi-
tai in This town for while, afterwards resid-
ed with Clifford over at Sugar Ball. He is
a son ofthe late Barach Chase, Esq, of Hop
kInton, and is relative of rich Wiggin
family in London. He contrived to get out
to England and visited the Worlds Fair.
where he palmed himself off as q Major Gen.
IN the American army, and contrived to
gain an audience to the Queen. During the
administration Of Mr.. Polk, when the editor
Of this paper was U. s. Marshal, for the Dis
lrcI Of New Hampshire, Sam pretended to
be Deputy Marshal aud showed docu-
ment which he had manufactured to that eff

went TO Manchester and attached all the
Factories in the place, putting up labels on
the doors; and 10 prevent his putting all The

had TO read him out of Office in regular
form. He used to attend regularly the ses-
slons of the U. 5. Circuit Court in this State
as an attorney, and on one occasion had a
long argument with Judge Woodbury., who
humored his within, on some legal question.
Ii seems he is now practicing in the Su-

She waited in the drawing room,
Good Mrs. Mabel Moore;
Six founces of pretty lace
~F Were on the dress she wore; f
Upon her bosom French rose,
And on her cap some satin bows.
ss One little foot just peeped without
Her pettieoats SO white;
Her hair, little gray, tbs true,
Was put in curl, and bright;
And sweet her glances shone around,
AS if some good thing she had found.
The clock was on the stroke of eight,
And still she sat apart,
Now listening close. and laying now
One hand upon her heart;
And toying with her curls and rings,
And doing other girlish things.
AT length step was heard, ard then
A ringing at the door,
"Five minutes and a half too soon,''
Said Mrs. Mabel Moore.
Then to her maid-s'It is no sin,
Go quick, and say am not in :
''For if he loves me as he says,
He can afford to wait,

Five minutes after eight.

But true love never did run smooth,
As oftentmes is told.

And shiyering in the cold,
The maid beheld the expected guest,
She smiled and curtseyed her best.
And told him with grace as sweet
AS if she carved boon,
Her mistress had declared it was
A little bit too soon;
And that she thought it was no sin
To send him word she was not in.
SAY, very well, the guest replied,

That whether she DO in or no,
I've surely found her out"
And she who sent him from the door
