which we extract the following
d" | longed to hear him speak of his great
battle, and one of the greatest battles, too, of
modern history, the browning exploit of his
military life, the battle OF the 9Th Of January
before New Orleans. He had just returned
from his last visit to that city. and lamented
the decease of most of his old compatriots
since that battle. All the officers except Col.
Tiebaut, he observed, were dead He then
graphically described the field, the fortifca-
tions, as he aughingly called them, and the
victory, ina manner l shall never forget

THE HIsroRY OF BUTTER. the vari-
Gus statements in history, it may be safely
concluded that the discovery of butter is at
tributable neither to the Greeks nor Romans,
but that the former were acquainted with it
by the Scythians, Thracians, and Phrygians,
and the latter by the people of Germany 1t
appears, says Beckman, that when they had
learned the art Of making it, they employed
it only as an ointment in their baths, and par
ticuarly as u medicine 1t is never mentioned
by Galen and others as food, though they
have spoken Of it as applicable to other pur.
poses. No notice is taken of it by Apicius,
nor is there anything aid 10 that respect by
the authors who treat on agriculture, though
they have given accurate information regard
ing milk, cheese, and oil. This may be easily
accounted for by the fact that the ancients
we're entirely accustomed to the use of good
oil. In like manner, butter is very little EN-.
ployed at the present day in Italy, Spain Por-
tugal. and the Southern parts OF France, but
is sold in the apothccaries' shops for medicinal
purposes. During the ages of Paganism,
butter appears to have been very scarce in
Norway; mention is made by historians of
present of butter so large that man could
not carry it, and which was considered a very
respectable gilt

BusHING TOMATOES. -Those who love good
tomatoes will take pains to cultivate them, so
as to ensure them as near as may be In their
full perfection. There is no other fruit that
delights more in air and sunshine than the
tomato. They should have, therefore, album
dance of room, and the vines be sustained from
falling to the earth. Ihave found stout brush
firmly set around the plants, to answer the
purpose better than any other method. The
branches have room to extend themselves as
they like, while the limbs of the brush keep
them in their positions. By this method, the
fruit is more fully exposed to the genial infiu'
ences of the air and sushine, whereby it at
tans more delicious flavor, larger size, and
comes quicker to maturity.-.Rurot Ne~

KIND, BUT SIMpLE.-Two sailors, one Irish
and the other English, agreed reciprocalIy to
take care Of each other, in case of either being
wounded in an action about to commence. 1t
was not long before the Englishman's leg was
shot off by cannon-ball and, on his calling
to Pady to carry him to the doctor, according
to the agreement, the other very readily COM
piled; but he had scarcely got his wounded
companion on his back, when second ball
struck off the poor fellows head. Paddy, who,
through the noise and disturbance common in
sea engagement, had not perceived his
friends last misfortune, continued to make the
best of his way to the surgeon. An officer,
observing him with headless trunk upon his
shoulder, asked where he was going. "To
the doctor" says Paddy. The doctor !"
says the officer, "why, you blockhead, the
man has lost his head" On hearing this he
flung the body from his shoulders and looking
at it very attentively, !" Be my sowl," says
he, "he told me it was his leg"

CHEESE MAKINd.-A few months ago |
visited a lady friend in the country; her table
was continually supplied with most delicious
cheese, of her own making. l asked, as o
particular favor, that she would communicate
to me her peculiar method of making it, and
wherein she differs from others. She replied
that she followed the method taught generally,
prepared the rennct in the same way, but felt
sure that she had discovered the reason why
cheeses were strong, both to the taste and
SMELL which consists in the single circum-
stance Of putting the curd to press warm.
She did notause any artificial means to, cool
the curd, bot after it had been chopped and
scalded, allowed it to remain spread upon the
cloth until it was cool as the surrounding
atmosphere, and thus put it to press.
There is great deal Of probability in the
above statement, for Ihave frequently noticed
that some checscs from. the same dairy would
be strong and offensive, and others mild and
agreeable, which may be owing to the circum.
stances of the dairy.woman getting her cheeses
to press early some days, and being hindered
others, until the curd had time to cool. 1t
may be we'll for dairy women to try the expe-
riment 80 as to ascertain the fact-N E.

AsHoCKIEG AEEAIR,

We don't know when we have been more
shocked than in pursuing the following. 1t
occurred in st. Lawrence county, New York,
and is given on the authority " of a gentleman
Of undoubted vetacity -
"A young man addicted to Incorporate
habits during one Of his periodical 'aprees'
took sudden notion to pay visit 70 his
sweetheart On the evening alluded to, the
young lady and female associate were the
only occupants of the honse where she resided.
about ten O'Clock in the evening the young
man arrived at the house, considerable worse
from the use of beverages His strange
manner in approaching the house excited the
suspicion of the young ladies, who supposed
the house was attacked by robbers. He
knocked at the door, and demanded admission
but his voice not being recognized, from the
thickness Of his tongue, the ladies refused to
comply with the demand.
Determined to force an entrance, he CON-
menced series of. assaults upon the barred
and bolted door by kicking and pounding
After number of desperate kicks, the panel
of the door gave way, and the leg of the be-
sieger went through the aperture, and was
Immediately seized upon by one Of the young
ladies and frnly held, while the other, armed
with saw, commenced the work of amputa-
ton
"The grasp was firmly maintained, and the
saw vigorously piled, until the leg was COM
pletely severed from his body!
"With the loss Of his leg. the intoxicated
wretch fell upon his back, and in that condi.
ton lay the remainder of the night.
"In the meantime the ladies were fright
ened almost to death. With the dawn Of
morning the revelation was made that one Of
the ladies had participated in the amputation
Of the leg Of her lover!
"The wretched man was still alive. His
friends were Immediately sent for, and he was
conveyed to his home, where, with proper
treatment, he gradually and miraculously re.
covered, and is now alive and we'll.
I'VE hardly credited" said the editor of
the journal from which we quote, the latter
part of the story, and contended that the man
must have bled to death on the spot, insisting
indeed that it could not be otherwise. But
we were mistaken.

THE CONCLUSION OF MIR. PEPPERAGE'S
FOURTH OF JULY.
Il shall close said the eloquent orator,
by an allusion to the vital greatness, and
sempiternal Importance Of the national Union.
This sentence was greeted by salvo Of
tremendous cheers and cries of Go it, Pep

spring theme How shall find words to
describe it's momentous magnifcence and its
beatifc lusture? The Union! lit is the ark
of our safety the palladium of our liber.

and the ags of our virtues J! -! In the
Union we live, and go ahead. 1t watches
over us at our birth-it fans US in our cradles
1T accompanies us to the district school
it gives us our victuals in due season-it Sc
lects our wives for us from Americas fair
daughters and it does great many other
things; to say nothing of putting us to sleep
sometimes, and keeping the flies from our
innocent repose. While the Union lasts, we
have the most reasonable prospect Of plenty
Of fodder. with occasional drinks. BY its
benefcient energies, however, should the pre-
sent supply give out, we shall rise superior to
the calculations of an Ordinary and narrow
prudence, and take in Cuba, Hayti, and Mex
leo, and such parts of all contiguous islands
as may offer prospects for an advantageous
investment. Palsied be the arm, then, and

even dream Of harming it F.! May the heav-

soul! May his juleps curdc in his mouth
May he smoke none but New Orleans tobacco
May his family be perpetually ascending the
Mississippi in steamboat! May his own
grandmother disown him! And may the suf:
frages of his fellow citizens pursue him like
avenging furies, till he is driven, bowling into
Congress. For, oh my dear, dear friends
my beloved eIow-citizens-who can forctcl
the agonies, or the sorrows, or the blights, and
the anguish, and the despair, and the black
eyes, and the bloody noses, that would follow
upon the dispersion of our too happy, happy
family?
The accursed myrmidons OF despotism, with
gnashing teeth and blood-staned eyes, would
rush at large over this planet. They would
lap the crimson gore of the most wealthy and
respectable citizens. The sobs Of females and
screams OF children would mingle with the
barking of dogs and the crash of falling col.

mantle the skies, and one by one the strong

A WAGER WELL MADE.-A wager was

one of them cose-set little one, and the
other very tall huge man, in consequence Of
the latter Boosting Of his superior strength of
body; by which the little one undertook to
carry, considerable distance, 1.-TWO sacks of
wheat, each to contain four bushels, 60 lbs.
weight" The little one accordingly procured
one sack, and put four bushels of wheat into
it, and then drawing the other sack ovcr it,
commended that both sacks contained four bush.
els, which he carried with case. The stake
holder decided that both sacks did contain the
quantity agreed on, and.the money was hand
