bou. her housewifery. for the bread was as
right as the butter. The old lady said her
hesl.h was feeble, she could do but little,
and Jenny had the whole Management
He made come roundsbou. inquiries con-
cerning Jenny, and heard tha, she was
hearty, blsck-eved lass IF about two and
twenty had never seen piano or attended
ball, bU, knew the assembly's catechism,
and could sing Old Hundred to a charm,
spin fax and darn stockings, and was then
gone to town with butter. He fingered,
but she was delayed. and when his excuses
for staying were exhausted he started. He
could no. ge. The good butter out Of his
mind end. how i. happened know not, he
soon found bis way there sgsin; end the
resul. Of his adventure was, he made a wife
Of Jane McKearn. And now one lump Of
his hu.ter is worth more than Joe's wife
would make in month. There is no irou-

Now, the main difference between these
two woman arise from the manner of train
ing, slough there is no difference in natural
disposition. Old Madame Silly never look
ed on TO see 'hs. Sally did up her work as
she choose, and though good housekeep.
er herself, was al."g ether too indulgent, aud,
like some other mothers, thought more Of
getting Sslly well married than of making
her fit for wife, while old Madame Nc
Kearn was determined Jenny should be Fl!
for any mans wife, whether she gol mar
fied or not.
Perhaps there is no more certain criteri.
on by which to judge of woman's general
character for nealness and gond housekeep

properly sailed and weIl-worked slice of
butter, and you need no! fear 10 eat The cake

butter, salt in Iumps, and a sprinkIng of
hair and flies legs, you may be sure .ha, if
you board there very long death will not
be obliged to wal. much for you 10 finish
your peck of dirt. My advice is 10 young
farmers to make i. q sine qua non in a wife
that makes prime butter end the young
ladies who aspire to be farmers wives and
much better be imperfec, in fllsg.ee and
music, than be deficient in that mos. impor~
tan, sr, in making butter; which smoo,hs
no. only the sharp corners of crust end
crackers, bu. will smooth ssperi,ies Of the
husbands temper.
A REMARKABLE DREAM-Every body
in Allegheny county knows old lawyer
Martin. He had the coolies, way in the
world Of transferring money from The pock-
e,s Of his ellen, to his own. Old Ben Brooks,
q rich bu! close 6s.ed farmer in the neigh
borhood, was one OF his clienls.snd in their
conferences there was always pretty sharp
contest who should ouiwi. The other, the
lawyer IN the and generally getting the up
per hand. One day they had been sitting for
an hour or two, trying their wits 10 get the
advantage Of each other, when The farmer got
excited, end suddenly turning to the lew.

"Msrtin, ] had a remarkable dream last

"Ah had you?" said Martin, what was

"WelI, tell it," said Martin, evidently
struck with the former's msnner.

pointing out their places to his new subjects
as they entered, one after another. was
surprised to see so many Of my old neigh

and looking round saw you enter. The
devil told one TO take this seat end another
that; bu. when he saw you come in, he
rose up. pointing to his own chair he said ::
"Here, lawyer Martin, you can take my
sea.-you can fill it grea, deal better than
can"
