of religion is at best poor reprobate, the
football of destiny with no tie linking him to
iafnity and to the wondrous eternity that is
begun within but woman without it, is
even worse "a flame without heat, rain
bow without color, flower without per-
fume. A man may in some sort tic his frail

where affection and not purpose is the con-

other system or right action but that of spir-
itual faith. A man may Gaze his thou gifts
and his brain to truthfulneIs, in such poor
harborage as the fame ana reputation may
stretch before him, but woman-where
can she put her hope in storms, if not in
Heaven? And that sweet truthfulness-

SHORT RULES FOR BUTTER MAKERS.

We do pot instruct good dairymaids in
the art and mystery of butter making, but
if they see any hint in the rules which fol-
low, that they think serviccable, let them
make note of it;
The mower and sweeter the cream, the
sweeter and higher favored will be the but
ter.
The air must be fresh and pure in the
room where the butter is set.
The cream should not remain on the milk
over thirty-six hours.
Keep the cream in the pals, or stone pots,
into which put a spoonful of salt at the be-
ginning, then stir the cream lightly eacE
morning aud evening this will prevent the
cream from moulding or souring.
Churn as often as ouce week, aud as
much ofener as circumstances will permit.
Upon churning, add the cream upon all
the milk in the dairy
Use nearly an ounce of salt TO pound Of
butter.
Work the butter over twice to free it
of buttermilk and brine, before Jumping
and packing.
BE certain that it is entirely free from
every particle Of outternilk, or eoagulated
milk, and it viii keep sweet forever
In Scotland, a syphon is somtimes used
to seperate the milk from the cream, instead
of skimming the pans.
