/ dream myself boy again,
And shake my hoary head,
Why visit me ye images,
thought long since had fed
High o'er surrounding shade, see
A glittring castle rise,
It's towers, and pinnaclcs, and gate,
And stone-bridge meet mine eyes
The lions on its coat Of arms,
IRE friendly to my view.
The old acquaintanees / greet,
md courtyard hasten through.
The sphinx BY yonder fountain lies;
That fis-trce blossoms fair;
Ny earliest Of dreams dream'd,
Behind those windows there.
Through Castlo-clapcl now ! go,
And seek my GrandsiFe's tomb,
IT'S there and there too, arms antique
Upon the pillars loom.
The records Of departed worth,
My yeil'd eyes cannot trace;
However clear through checkercd pancs,
The light breaks DER the place.
So stand'st thou castle Of my sircs,
IN faithful memory;
Tho thou hath vanished from the GARTH
And plough goes over thee.
Be fruitful, Oh, thou precious soil !
Tho moved bless the now
And will douhly bless the man,
Who drives DER thee the plough.
But now will in haste arise,
And take lay Tyre in hand;
VIII ramble DER Che wide, wide world,
And sing from land to land.

The production of butter is nearly The same ev.
eryw here, ind yet how different is the quality OF
that made r farmers family fron that made
K anoher's. 1t is the attention which Is paid to
the minute parts of the process by some denom-
mated trifcs-which gives The great superiority 10
one parcel Of hutter over another. Cleanliness,
attention. and labor, are the requisite qualifications
for producing good butter everyw here, with prop.
er dairy utensils and Accommodations. Having re.
ceived some letters recently, making inquiries re-
speciing the best methods Of preparing butter ior
selling next winter, we have taken the present op-
porunty TO collect information from various sour
ces on the subject. In London the butter from
Dorsetshire holds about the hg hest rank. ln that
county the cows MIXED twice a-day IN sum-
mer-in fields. The milk is passed through
sieve and then set TO cool in miIk-leads. In some
counties glassware or stone coolers are used; but
Dorsetshire ElmIly will nothing but leads.
In these he milk Is allowed 10 stand for period
varying from IL 10 SO hours Usually, after
standing Tor "a hours it is SKINNED, and the cream
is collected in tin vessels until sufficient to form
a 'churning'' has accumulated. In very large
dares in the summer SEASON, butter is made every
day; and it may be set down general rule that
the quicker cream is converted into butter, the
sweeer and better is the butter. II should not be |
allowed to remain longer than three days under |
any circumstances. The churn having been pre-
pared by rinsing with hot water in winter, and |
cold wafer in summer. the cream IS agitated until
a complete separation Of the fatty matter from the
milky f1nid has been effected. The bntIer having |
"come," it is taken and well washed 1t is
hen worked with the hand until the buttermk is
thoroughly expressed, and the ar.bubbes are bro

half,dozen pounds; the manipulation is resumed;
he lump undergoes second washing, which car
res off the surplus sat and it is finally made up
nto rolls for the home market. or with an addition

There is an objection to the lead coolers. for if
he milk sours ii acts upon the metal and by tax.
