The late John Stanley, of North Carolina,
was one Of the most brilliant men of the
old North state. Judge CASTOR relates the
following anecdote, to show his extraordina-
~ readiness and intrepidity:
"When General Lafayette was expected
10 visit North Carolina, resolutions were in
troduced, Of very liberal character, au-
thOrizing the Governor, without regard to
expense, to receive him as the guest of the
State. The Assembly contained its full pro-
portion of those economists and calculators
who seek to ingratiate themselves with the
people by voting against the expenditure of
money, and it was exceedingly feared that if
the question were taken by yeas and nays,
all these-however willing that the resolu-
ton should pass-would record their votes
against them. 1t was the fixed policy and
earnest object of those who trembled for the
honor Of the State, to prevent that mode Of
taking the question. To their dismay . de-
mand was made for the yeas and nays by q
leader of the liberal juntc, and if this were
seconded, the constitution enjoined that the
question be put. Mr.. Stanley instantly
arose-his clear blue eye bright with unusu-
al fire, his outstretched arm directed 10 the
member who had Just taken his seat, and
his noble voice deep and full beyond its or
dinary richness. Mr.. Speaker he ex-
pclaimed. Il thank the gentleman for his mo-
ton. rise to second it. 1t is due to the
honor Of North Carolina to chow. in the most
solemn form, that there is not man among
US who hesitates to do all which that honor
enjoins; or. if there be such . miscreant in
our body, it is right that there should be an
opportunity Of gibbeting his name high on
the piIlory Of infamy!'q Not ., word more
was said. The question was taken, and all
even the mover Of the yeas aud nays-re-
corded their votes in favor Of the reso!u-

recently come to New York, from a distance
OF three hundred miles, in quest OF work

that places have looked for servant girls for

SEPARATING THE SEXES IN ScHooL.-On
this point Mr.. Stowe, . celebrated Glasgow
teacher, uses the following language:
'The youth of both sexes of our Scottish
peasantry have been educated together, and,
as q whole, the Scotch are the most moral
people on the earth. Education in England
is given separately, and we never have heard
from practical men that any benefit has
entail individuals there mourn over the pre-.
judice on this point. In Dublin, larger
number Of girls turned out badly who had
been educated alone until they attained the
age of maturity than of those who were
otherwise brought up; the separation of the
sexes has been found injurious. We may
repeat that it is impossible to raise the girls
as high, intellectually, without boys as with
them; and it is impossible to raise boys
morally as high without girls. The girls
morally elevate the boys; and the boys in
tellectually elevate the girls. But more than
this, girls themselves are morally elevated
by the presence of boys, and boys are intel
lecsually elevated by the presence Of girls.
"Grrls brought up with boys are more
positively moral; and boys brought up in
schools with girls are more positively intel
lectual, by the softening influence Of the
female character. In the Normal Seminary
at Glasgow, the most beneficial effects have
resulted from the more natural course.
Boys and girls, from the age of two or three
years to that of fourteen or fifteen, have
been trained in the same class room, gale
ries and play grounds, without impropriety /;
and they are never separated, except e: nee.

Ten Rules TO be Observed In Making
RutteT.

In making good butter there are several
nice operations 10 be gone through with
which require an eye to cleanliness, fore.
thought, and experience.
, !. On milking clean, fast yet gently, regu-
larly twice day, depends the success Of the
dairyman. BAD mixers should not be toler-
ated in = herd; better pay double the price
for good ones.
2. Strainng is quite simple, but it should
be borne in mind that two pans about hall
full each vii! produce q geeater smeun. OF
cream than the same milk if in but one pan
the reason Of this is the greater surface.
3. Scalding is quite an important feature
in the way Of making butter in cool wealth
er; the cream rises much quicker, milk
keeps sweet longer, the butter is of better
color, and ehurns in about one-hah Of the
time. .,..,..
4. Skimming should always be done be-
fore the milk becomes loppered; otherwise
much of the cream turns into whey and is
lost.
5. Churning, whether by hand or other
wise, should occupy fifty minutes. ....
g. Washing in cold soft water is one Of its
preserving qualities, and should be contin-
ued until it shows no color of the milk by
the use of the ladle; very hard water is
highly charged with lime, and must in a
II easure impart to it alkaline properties.
Z. Salt is necessarily done with the best
kind of ground salt; the quantity varies ac-
cording to the state it is taken from the
churn II soft, more-if hard, less, always
taking taste for the surest guide.
8. First working, after about twenty four
hours, is for the purpose Of giving it greater
compactness.
O. Second working takes place at the time
of packing, and when the butter has dissolv-
ed the salt, that the brine may be worked
out Of it.
10. Packing is done with the hands or
with butter mall; and when butter is put
into wooden vessels, they should be soaked
2 or 8 days in strong brine before using.
Alter each packing, cover the butter with a
wet cloth, and put layer of salt upon it !;
in this way the salt can easily be removed
at any time. by simply taking hold Of the
edges Of the cloth. ... .-
Butter made in this way will keep any
length Of time Iequired.-J C. adams, g.

Christianity an Element Of Education.
There is no need Of entering at presen,
into any argument on the comparative cha.
racter of our agricultural and manufacturing
population. But this is certain, and il is OBJ.
vious to all eyes, that with great intelli sence,
and many estimable qualities, there is among
the latter much more evil, which never can
be cured by . merely secular education.-
Let US not deceive ourselves by believing
that the people of any great commercial
country will ever be able to guide themselves
safely by cultivated intellect. Christianity
alone is the strength of the state If the
Bible be neglected-we must not say des-
pised-but if it be laid aside merely for Sab
bath hours, and those perhaps unfrequent,
interrupted, and inspired by no very devout
spirit-and all other kind Of knowledge elc-
vated to . higher place in mems opinions
than "saving knowledge'-pan, gyrized by
the most eloquent in the land, a. the founds-
tion on which the pillars of nations pros
perity rest; SO that man belonging TO the
working classes comes to value himself chief.
~ .~SVunG OF the acquisitions be has
made, perhaps, in some branch Of physical
science or art-if, by insensible degrees re-
'ligion comes to be considered BY the poor
man as thing Of secondary Importance
and il is not easy to see how that can be
otherwise, if his whole mind, during his lei
sure hours, is to be applied with all its facul-
ties and feelings, to knowledge lying out of
the sphere of religion-then education, so
far from being blessing, will be bane, and
that which men call light will be darkness
Symptoms Of some approaching evil like this
are visible in the aspect of the times Those
who think that human nature is sufficient in
itself for its own earthly destiny, and would
rather wish to keep religion, that is Christ
ianity, in the background, will give differ
ent Interpretation of these signs. This we
will say, that no man who desires to promote
the interests Of his fellow creatures, will
scruple to declare his faith, and to uphold it,
from the fear, in this liberal and enlightened
age, as we are proud to call it, of being tho't
a bigot, and no philosopher. Itis the blessed
nature of our religion that it teaches tc the
that which lies beyond the "a
culties of the wisest of men. The meei: snt I
aumble sottager, who has seen only that !

pounded by the hill encircling his native val |

ect morality, than the highest mind tina. !
