MANUFACTURES OF MoLAssEs
FROM SUGAR CANE.

The Cincinnati Gazette has a eommuni-
cation from = Warren county agrieuturist
who gives some straightforward practical
IDEAS upon the culture Of sugar cane aud
the manufacture Of syrup. He says:
On our farm in Warren county We
planted an acre Of sugar cane the last week
10 May. 1t grew fnsly--tall and plump.
We let the stalks become ripe, seeds well
matured and brown ripe, for the better ma
tured and ripened the stalks all the better
even frost or two thrown 10 will make
the juice the sweeter and more Of il. We
then cut them; cut the tops and stripped
the blades olive then ground them IN
common cider mill. placing the grinding
apparatus az near together as possible
Running through a couple Of times, took
out all the juice-a fall pint to the stalk
on an average. We then strained the Juice
eleyerly, placed il in kettles, and CON-
meBced the boiling operation. We put
irto each thirty gallons on beginning TO
boil, tablespoonful OF oficina lime wa
ter, (lime and water mixed will do, J ad-
ding the same occasionally, and skimming
on the green scum whenever it arose
About four tablespoonful of lime water
TO the thirty gallons is sufficient, though il
! is better too much than not enough. Co
ing on in this way for eight or ten hours,
we had pure, beautiful and finely tasted
molasses.
1t is no more difficult to make syrup
from the sugar cane than to make it from
the maple tree-the one being Just as sim
pie as the other. Two or three straininps,
proper attention to skimming. we'll boiling,
the proper addition Of lime water to nen-
tralize the acid, and we have Just as good
moiasses, better than what We now pay
one dollar a gallon foi.
Two gentlemen residing iG Wabash co.,
Illinois, write to the Chicago Press, Oct.
I'd, that they are making barrel Of Sor-
ghum molasses daily, and shall continue to
do SO until cold weather. They also say
that the fodder saved will pay the expense
Of raising the cane. They have twenty
acres Of the cane, and the yield will bs

THE LEAVES OF AUTUMN.


Hark from the woods, the old brown woods,
That lately 50 green appeared,
And what is the sound that issues from thencei
'Tis the voice Of the old Grey beard.
'Tis the voice Ofthat giant grim,
Working away with ruthless speed;
And while with his seythe he cuts of the leaves,
Calls kindly to us-"takc heed"
For we, like Autumn leaves must fall,
Cut down by the hand Of death;
As the rustTng leaves are dashed from the
trees,
By an Autumn's chilling breath.
In our youth-the spring-time Of life,
We are vigorous and gay
But if we should live through the Summers
heat,
In Autumn we pass away.
But weep not for the leaves that fall,
Nor friends that fade by your siIe;
Again they shall bloom In a coming spring
Beautifully as bride.
In that spring they ever shall live
Without sign of decay
With joys that are eternal and pass not,
Like leaves of Autumn, Away.

WPY DON'T YOU TAKE THE PA

Why don't you take the papelY
They're the life of my delight;
Except about election time,
And then / read for spite.
Subscribe, you cannot loose cent
Why should you be afraid?
For cash thus paid is money lent
On interest,", four fold paid.
Go then and take the paper,
And pay to-day nor pay delay,
And my word it is inferred,
You'll live till you are gray.
All old newspaper friend of mine,
While dying from cough,
Desired3ahear the latest news,
WhilS Fas dying off,
/ took the paper, and read
OF some new Pills in force;
lie bought box-and is be deadf
No-hearty as horse.
I knew a printers debtor once,
Racked with scorching fevel,
Who swors to pay her debt next day,
Ifher distress would leave her.
Next morning she was at her work,
Divested Of her pain,
But did forget to pay her debt,
Till taken down again.
"Here, Jessie, take these silver wheels,
And pay the printer nowl"
She slept, and slept, and then awOke,
With health upon her brow.
Iknaw two men, as much alike
As ere yod saw two atumps,
Andno phrenologIst could find
A difference In thier bumps.
One takes the papers, and his life
Is happier than king'si
His children all can read and write
And talk Of men and things.
The other took no paper, and
While strolliag through the wood,
A tree fell down and broke bis crown,
And killed him, livery good"
Had he been reading of the news,
Athome, like neighbor Jim,
I'll bet cent that accident
Would not have happened him.
Why don't you take the papers'
Nor from the printer sneak.
Because you borrow Of his boy
A paper every week.
For he who takes the papers,
And pays his bills when due,
Can live in peace with God and man,
And with the printer too.

EE- A waggish friend of ours tells the
following, which we do not remember to

"a certain man, whom we will call
NJ, was noted for possessing great
courage and presence of mind, and the
crossest wife in the neighborhood.
More than one attempt had been made
to frighten Nj without success; but
one dark, stormy evening, one of his broth
or chips resolving to see if there was any
scare in him, fixed up in the most ghostly
style possible, and stationed himself in a
lonely piece of woods, through which NJ
- had to pass on his way home.
The pretended ghost had scarcely settled
himself in his position, when Nj

unconcemed as usual. Suddenly the
ghostly figure confronted him, and in a
sepucher voice, commanded him to stop

companion for moment, said, with the

GOODNESS. Sam Slick tells story

father one cold, winter evening, for back
log for the kitchen fire. The youth
went out, but instead ofbringing in good
substantial log, only brought thin lit.
tie stick-or 'bfaip as the Pennsylvania
Germans say. His father Immediately
gave him good whipping, and sent him
after another log. But the youth hav.
ing his 'dander' reused left the house, went
to Boston, and shipped on a vessel which
made a voyage of several years.
In course of time the youth came back
and started home on foot. 1t was winter.
and Just such an evening as the one on
which he left home. So, remembering
his fathers order, the young man picked
up huge log, and staggering into the
house, threw it down on the hearth be-
fore his astonished father and mother and
quietly said:
Father, here's that back log you sent
me for.'
The old gentleman, not to be outdone
in GOODNESS, replied, with touch of Sc

We were reminded of this story by the
following, which we find floating about

"President Buchanan openly declares

awhile the President dare not now take
tho responsibility of removing Walker, he
will nevertheless endeavor to compel bis

fy the Southern ultras. c."
To the same effect, The Day Book, the
leading democratic" organ in this city,
says:
"Whatever may be the final action Of
the President upon this matte, there can
be no doubt it has created a greater COM
motion in the Cabinet than any other act
of Gov. Walker. This dilemma for the
Presidents consideration is very distinct
one. He must either abandon the terms
of the organic law of Kansas, or else he
must condemn Gov. Walker. That law
gives Gov. Walker no power to act in the
manner be has. He must therefore be re-
moved, or he must resign. He cannot stay
ia Kansas any longer, for be has forfeited
the good opinion Of the Democrats of the
Territory, and his continuance there will
involve the country in an agitation which
will endanger the success of Mr.. Buchan-
ans administration, and fairly rend assun-
der the Democratic party"
Whoever does not see that Walkers
first act of justice to the Free State men
has ruined him with the Administration,
deprived him of any substantiol power,
and rendered his removal question of
time only, is wilfully blind to the plainest
facts.-M Y. Tribune.
