hearty, black-eyed lass of about two and
twenty; had never seen piano, or attended
ball, but knew the Assembly's catechism, and
could sing old hundred to charm, spin fax
and darn stockings. and was then gone TO town
with butter He fingered, but she was delay
ed, and when his excuses for staying were ex-
hausted, he started. He could not get the
good butter out of his mind, and how it hap
pened | know not, he soon found his way
there again, and the result of his adventure
was he made wife of Jane Mchearn And
now one lump of his butter ls~worth more
than Joe's wife would make in month
There is no trouble going to market-the
keepers of eentcel boarding houses in the
neighboring villages send and take IL al the
highest market price
Now the main difference between these two
women arises from the manner of training,
though there is no difference in natural dispo-
sition. Old Madam Sally never looked on to
see that Sally did her work right. but suffer
ed her to shy off her work as she chose, and
though good housekeeper herself was alto
gethcr too indulgent, and like some other
mothers, thought more of getting Sally well
married than getting her til Hr wie--while
old Madam Mckearn was determined Jenny
should be fit for any mans wife, whether
she got married or not Perhaps there is no
more certain criterion by which to judge of a
woman's general character for neatness, than
by the quality of her butter Find on the
farmers table good solid, properly salted
well worked slice of butter, and you need not
fear to eat the cake or hash; but see splash
of half worked butter-salt in Jumps, and
sprinkling Of hair and flies legs. you may be
sure that if you board there very long, death
will not be obliged to wait much for you TO
finish your peck Of dirt.
My advice is, to young farmers, to make it
a sine gua non in a wife that she makes prime
butter. and the young ladies who aspire TO be
farmers wives had much better be imperfect
in fllagrce and music than be deficient in that
most important art of making butter, which
smooths, not only the sharp corners of crust
and crackers but will smooth the asperities of
the husbands temper.

CovErousNEss-Of all the peculiar base
ness of the vice of coveeousness, we need no
other proof but this; fer the prime and
more essential property of goodness is to com
munica.e and diffuse itself, SO in the same de-
gree tha. anything enclo.es and shuts up its
plenty within itself. in the same il recedes
and falls off from the nature Of good If We
cast our eyes over the whole creation, we shall
find every part of the universe contributing
something either to the help or the ornament
Of the whole. The great business of Provi-
denca is to be continually issuing out fresh
supplies of the divine bounty to the creature
that lives and subsists like lamp fed by con-
tinual infusions. and from the same hand
which first lights and sets it up So sha. eoy-
e.ousness IS nothing 50 much as a grand con
.radiction TO Providence. whilst It termin ates

STANDING UNDER FIRE.-The following is
an extract Of letter from British superior
engineer officer, at Sevastopol, published in
the London Times:
Now, as our advanced works are within
seven hundred yards of the main batteries of
the place. and they keep up a constant fire on
our working parties, you can imagine how
harrasSing this work sometimes is. No man,
be he ever so brave, can stand under fire for
so long a time inactive SO far as fighting is
concerned, without findingi; a great wear and
tear to his nerves. The first hour is the worst

Russions treat Us 10 pleasing variety in the
way of proecties. First comes the round shot

Shrek something Ike a railway whistle badly

slower and round, like large covey Of strong
birds fivng very swiftly. Then comes gun
shell, which approaches Ike round shot,
but has the pleasing trick OF bursting W hen it
reaches YOU; 50 that YOU have to run a double

pieces Next come the mortar shells, which

where it will fall: and none but the oldest

The Reaper and the Flowers.
BY II. W. LoNGFELLow,

There IS a reaper. whose name is Death,
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain with breath,
And the flowers that grow between
ssha,l have naught that is fairT saith he,
aHaye naught but the bearded grain?
Thouph the breath Of these flowers il sweet to me
will give them all back again J"
us oaxed at the flowers with fearful eyes,
ne kissed their dropping leaves;
I, was fox tho Lord Of Paradise
He bound them in his sheayes.
sMy Lord has need Of the low'rsts gay
The reaper -aid, and smiled
Dear tokens Of the earth are they,
Where he once a child.
aThen shall oil bloom in fields Of light,
Transplantcd by my care,
And saints upon their garments white,
These s,cred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave, in tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love;
She knew she would find them all again
In the fields of ight above.
Oh not in cruelty not in wrath
The reaper came that day;
Twas angel visited the green earth,
And took the flowers away.

State are forbidden to administer the oaths
necessary to naturalization to any foreigner,
who must consequently seek the United States
Courts if they desire to become citizens.

The BLOOM OF AGE-A good woman never
grows old. Years may pass over her head but if
benevolence and virtue dwell in her heart she is
cheerful when the spring Of life first opened to
her view. When we look upon good woman,
never think Of her age; she looks as charming
when the rose of youth first bloomed upon her
cheek. That rose has not faded yet; it will never
fade In her neighborhood she is the friend and
benefactor Who does not respect and love the
woman who has passed her days in acts of kind
ness and mercy. We repeat, such q woman can
not grow old She will always be fresh and buoy
ant IN spirits and active in human deeds Of mercy
and benevolence If your lady desires to retain
the bloom and beauty Of youth, let her not yield
to the sway of fashion and folly; let her love truth
aud virtue and TO the close Of life she will retain
those feelings which now make life appear garden
Of sweets-eyer fresh and ever new.

SwEARrsG-The absurdity and utter folly
of swearing is admirably set forth in the fol-
lowing anecdote of Beelzebub and his imps.
The latter went out in the morning each to
command his set of men, one the murderers.
another the thieves, another the liars. and an
other the swearers, DC. dc. At evening they
stopped a. the mouth OF cave to talk over
the incidents of the day, when question
arose who commanded the meanest set Of men,
The subject argued at length. without
coming 10 decision. Finally, his Satanic
Majesty was called upon to decide the dis
pute Whereupon he said: The murderer got
something for killing, the thief for stealing.
the liar for lying. but the sweazer was the
mcanest of all; he served without pay The
swearers were his majesty's best subjects; for
while they labored SO faithfully in advancing
the devils cause without asking expecting
wages, they were very numerousin the world.

Afraid of the Wages.

l want your boy in my shop. said a shop
keeper to poor widow; have had great
deal of trouble with clerks, and | want your
Seth, because | know he's honest.
The widow was glad, for it was time for
him to be earning something, and she thought
it would be quite lift in the world to have
him 60 in with Mr.. Train, and she knew that
he would suit Mr.. Train, for Seth did well
everywhere.
When Seth came home from school, he was
almost as much pleased with his good fortune
as his mother was. Neither mother nor son
knew anything about Mr.. Trains Store; it was
in the lower part of the town. but his family
lived near the widows in fine style Seth
was to 90 the next Monday morning; and at
the time he was punctual at his new post.
The week passed away. When he came
home to dinner or supper, his mother would
ask him how he liked it. At first he said,
pretty well, and then, he didn't exactly know.
then. not very WE'LL and Saturday he told his
mother plumply that he didn't like it at all,
and wasn't going to stay.
Why, Seth. exclaimed his mother, grioved
and mortified at the change, are you SO diff
cult to suit as all this comes to? Doyou know
how important it is to stick to your business?
What Will Mr.. Train say?
Mother answered the boy, the shop is a
grog shop, and cannot stay there.
The mothers mouth was stopped; indeed,
after that she had no wish TO have him remain
but she was very sorry that the case was so.
When Mr.. Train paid the boy on Saturday
night. Seth told him he could not stay.
The shopkeeper was surprised! How is
this. said he; haven't l done well by you.
this week?
Yes, sir, answered the boy; never expect
to find kinder master.
Do YOU find fault with the pay
No sir, answered Seth, it is good pay.
