MILK AND MILK.pANs.

1t is common rem ark that thunder sours
milk. This remark, though correct enough
for common use, it is well known, is incorrect
in fact. 1t is not the thunder but the cleo
hcity that affects the milk.
To preserve milk, then, pans should be
non conductors. Tin, or other material, that
is a conductor, is usually used and the elect
is, milk, especially in thunder showers, soas
before the cream fully rises.
| have been experimenting little, and the
following is the result II took the milk of
the same COW, MIXED Pt the same inn, ant
divided it equally, putting half in glass pan
and half in tin pan, and placed them side
and side. In the first twenty four hours,
we're wo thunder showers, and at the end OF
that time, the milk in the tin pan was sour
that in the glass pan sweet and good. At
the end of twelve hours more, that in the tin
was thick clabber, or lobbered, as the Yam
KEGS call it, and that in the glass began to
trun.
From this, believe, glass pans will pre-
serve milk one-thi.d longer than tin pans
Will our dairymen try it? L. V. BIGRcE, in

THE EDIToR.-The man who is expected to
know everything, tell al he knows, and
guesses at the rest TO make oath to his good
character, establish the reputation of his neigh
bors, and to elect all candidates to office to
blow up every ybody, suit every body. and re-
form the world to live for the benefit of 9th
ers, and have the epitaph on his tombstone,
"lere he lies his last " in short, he is loco
motive running on the track of public notorie-
ty; his lever is his pen, his boiler is filed
with ink, his tender is his scissors, and his
driving wheel is public opinion whenever he
explodes, it is caused by the non-payment of
Of subscriptions. He is expected to work for
nothing and board fimself-and if he is un-
fortunate enough to have family, he will
either have to run in debt for their support,
Cr take lodgings in the almshouse. Poor fel-
low he is--nothing but an editor.

Upon lonely shore I stand,
Aud look abroad upon the sea

Bu. soon the rolling wave see
Wash out the words engrayen there,
as summer dew dissolyes in air.
When first my footsteps press'd the shore,
No mirror e'er so smooth could be;
And rosy clouds were lowering Ger,
Tracing their beauty in the sea
The swollow's wing oft touched the wave,
As If within their depths to lave.
But what if beauty fingered there
And joy seemed mirrored in the deepl
What il it seemed so comely fair
What if all passion seemed to sleep2
From out its depths there came a moan,
A wailii g sound twas sorrows tone.
knew that down beneath the wave,
Mid coral bowers and sea weeds green,
Brave, mob hearts had found grave
And bitter tears were shed, ween,
By those who watched upon the shore,
For friends that they should see no more.
l thought how like that mirrored sea-
And like that rose light cleaning there,
My youths bright visions seemed to be-
And oh, how gloriously fair
Seemed all this worll I could not know
My cup with grief would soon o'ernow.
But yet the pang that rends my heart.
And makes it seem living grave
That chills the life blood-bids depart
Each cherished hope lifes morning gave /;
/ shut within its inmost cells
Nor sigh. nor look my sorrow tells.

The ears that ono, fell fast as rain.

WHAT Is EDUCATION In an article in
recent number Of Frazier's Magazine, this
brief but beautiful passage occurs
" lucation does not commence with the
alphabet 1t begins with mothers look
with fathers smile of appreciation, or a sign
Of rcproof-with sisters gentle pressure Of
the hand, or a brothers. noble act of forbear-
ance-wiJh .handsful of flowers in green and
daisy meadow-witha a birds nests admired, but
not touched-with creeping ants, and almost
imperceptble emmets-with humming bees,
glass bee-hives with pleasant walks, and
shady lanes-and with thoughts directed in
sweet and kindly tones and words, to mature
to act Of beneyolance, to deeds of virtue. and
TO the source Of all good, to God himself"

AN OLD STORY IN A NEW DRESS.
A Reminis cence of Hot Weather

BY EM
Right gaily rode the burning sun,
Adown the glow ing west
And sweetly sang little bind,
From out its hawthorn nest.
And down among the bushes,
Where sweet stream wound its way,
With the tiny fishes in it,
Jumping in merry play.
Where the tall trees lent their shadow
To the modest purple flower,
That budded, bloomed and perished,
In one short summer hour
Where the sunlight came but seldom,
Where the moon shone clear and bright,
And stars looked love and tenderness,
Through all the quiet night.
From the high grass waving er her.
Looked out a maiden fair,
With eyes that danced with gladncss,
And gold light on her hair
7 DER the azure windows
The pale white cyelids feel,
And the maiden walked in dreamland,
Down in that grassy dell
Her pearly teeth looked laughter
From out her cherry lips;
A musquito kissed them lovingly,
As one who nectar sipps.
And wished that we could change awhile,
Under that shadowing tree,
That might be the 'skeeter,
And the 'skeeter might be me

A RAILROAD FoUSDLIEG.-The George
Law brought 10 New York on Friday from
Aspinwall an extraordinary passenger, about
fifteen months old, found amid the wreck and
ruins created by the late railroad calamity
there. Father, and mother, and relatives
were all killed, and no one knows the little
foundling's name or nation, which, however,
is supposed to be French. The innocent was
picked up unhurt amid the slain and manned
in unconcious ignorance Of the awful disaster
Col. Totten sent it to New York in care of
the stewardess Of the George Law, and il be-
comes, we suppose, an unknown object of
charity here.-N y Express.

To see the trees white to a certain hight, and

A New METHOD OF MAKING SILK.-Pru-
dent husbands will be delighted to learn that
the inquiring genius of man, not content with
secondary results, has successfully pushed its
researches beyond the silk worm, and now
draws threads from the mulberry leaf, it been
reduced by boiling to thick paste, frcm
which almost every description of silk may be
drawn. The Paris correspondent of Lon
don paper says:
"Ihaye seen several yards of manufacture,
and although wanting a little ofthe gloss be-
longing to that spun by the worm, can pro-
rounce it far superior to the finest toulard
hitherto made The price of the silk is five
francs pound when spun being one hundred
and twenty francs cheaper than that of the
present day. This new method of procuring
silk will at once be adopted in all Countries,
as the mulb srry can be grown in any country,
and requires scarcely any culture. The cult
walton of this new branch of industry will do
away entirely with that of cotton, so that
slavery will have natural cause of abandon
ment in the United States, little anticipat-
ted at the beginning of the century"

DURATION OF FLASH OF LrGnTNING.-In
Arago's Meteorological Essays, lately publish
ed, many latitudes are given where the phe
nomena Of thunder and lightning are uu-
known those among the inhabitants of Lima
in Peru, for instance, who had never travelled,
can from their own experience have no idea
of thunder, and they are equally unacquain-
ted with lightning, for even noisless she eet
lishtnings never appear in the atmosphere of
Lower Peru, often moist but never showing
true clouds. Arago sums up his inquiry by
saying that the most brilliant and extensive
flashes of lightning which appeared to en-
brace the whole extent of the visible horizon,
have no. duration equal to the thousandth
part of a second of time.

took Bayzantium they found the crescent in
every public place; and, believing it to possess
sone magical power, they adopted it them
selves.
