How TO Preserve Fruits anC

sion to allow the gum to dry. This
process covers the surface Of the fruit
with thin coating Of gum, which is
entirely imporviols to the air, and
thus. prevents the decay Of the fruit,
or the whitening of the flower. Our
friond has roses thus preserved which
have all th e beauty aud fragrance Of
freshly pluckod ones, though they
have been separated from the parent
stem since June last. To insure sue
cess in experiments Of this kind, it
should be borne in mind that the
whole SUFFICE must be completely
covered; for if tho air only gains en-
trance at a pin-hole, the labor will
be lost. In preserving specimens Of
fruit, particular care should be taken
to cover the stem. end and all, with
the gum A good way is to wind a
thread Of silk about the stem, and
then sink it slowly in the solution,
which should not be SO strong as to
leave particle of the gum undissol
yea The gumis SO perfectly trans
parent that you can with difficulty
detect It's presence except by the
touch.
HSrey we have another simple
method Of fixing the fleeting beauty
of nature, and SURROUNDING ourselves
ever with those objects which do most
elevate the mind, refine the taste,
aud purify the heart. = Country Gen

How TO Manage Stubborn Oxen.

How 10 manage StuDD0rn UXel.
We clip the following from the
Western Christian .f1uocate. We
have read of the charms Of music, and
felt them too, but have always labor
ed under the impression -erroneous
Of course--that "ronnd hard swear
ing was more potent stimulus to
oxen or horse in ''heavy drag I than
the music Of angels could possibly be.
Live andiearn is Dem ocratic mot
to:
We have communicat ion from an
Indiana brother on "Ho Nv to drive
Oxen.' After having spoken in
terms Of severe but PROPER condem-
nation Of the inhumanitE shown by
many persons to brutes, he relates an
incident respecting neighbor of his,
who was the owner Of several yoke
of oxen, but whose hired man did
not particularly understa bid the best
method of managing t hem. One
day number Of the animals 90 stall
ed in a mud hole, and tho hired man
got mad the first thing and beat them
rOundly. Presently the owner came
along and tried bis hand, first, by
rebuking the driver for getting mad,
and, secondly, by applying, with
!. mathematical precision, the ex tremi-
ty Of the whip-lash to the hides of the
oxen. They, nevertheless, failed to
move the load from the hole, and the
good old man thought he would try
the effects Of music, He began with
the words:
"ADd we'll march around Jerusalem ? &C.
Continuing to sing, and marching all
the while around his tenn; presently
there Was a movement. They pull
ed, the load came, and the oxen were
soon on brisk gait to the desired
place. Try the expert ment, and if
it does no good, in your especial case,
certainly at will} do no harm
: We don't wish to make any insinua-
lions, but might it not be the case
that the animals we're more tortured
by the good mans music than by
the application of the whip? The
unfortunate oxen might endure the
lash, but there are some descriptions
Of "sweet sound" that neither men
nor oxen-although proof against all
else--would be- able to endure, while
suicide or hard pulling could afford
relief. We once boarded in q family
who considered it n Christian duty
to split the ears Of their neighbors
morning and evening With their
"hymns of lofty praise and certain
ly we never heard such diabolical dis
cord as they made. We could not
have stood it, had We been paid the
wages Of q Congressman
By the way there is not enough at
tention paid to the cultivation Of sa-
cred mn sic On account of it's subject
anditsobject,it should be the grandest
and most sublime in composition. 1t
ought to be the very wing with which
the soul could rise to the regions Of
the Infinite. Instead Of that, it is
often a mere caricature. utterly un-
worthy Of comparison with the COM
mon operatio music Of the day, in
stead Of, as it ought to be, immeasu-
rably its superior. Human art can
have no higher province than the
praise of our Creator.
