DANIEL MORGAN. THE RIFLEMAN.

The name of Daniel Morgan, the cele-
brated commander of the Virginia rife
men is a household word in Virginia
His remains repose at Winchester. Jer-
seyman by birth, he early emigrated to
the Virginia wilds, and was a wagner IN
the French war. Tall, muscular, and
Injured to all hardships, he was fond OF
adventure, famed for intense daring and
hair-breadth escapes. He had been gross
" insulted by one British officer, and Sc
verely punished by another in the name
of King George. He vowed vengeance
and kept his VOW.
At the opening of the revolution he
raised a battalion of rifemen, and drilled
them to perfection. They spurned the
bavonet. and relied on the deadly aim OF
the rife. He used to say the business OF
his men was to kill, not to be killed AT
the battle of Saratoga, seeing the day was
going against the Americans by reason OF
the extraordinary skill and energy OF
General Fraser, with his Scotch division
he resolved to resort to the only measure
!, conceivable to arrest the line of battle
: that threatened to overwhelm them
Summoning to his presence the bes

l was never known to fail, he said to him

a brave and noble officer. Though g;

WATCH, MOTHER.

Mother! watch the little feet,
Climbing DER the garden wall,
Bounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar, shed and hall;
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time it cost,
Little feet will 90 astray,
Guide them, mother, while you may.
Mother! watch the little hand,
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay;
Never dare the question ask,
"Why 10 me this heavy task?"
These same little hands may prove
Messengers Of light and love.
Mother! watch the little tongue,
Pratiling eloquent and wild;
What is said and what is sung
By the happy, Joyous childi
Catch the word while yet unspoken;
Stop.the vow while yet unbroken;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in the Saviors name.
Mother watch the little heart,
Breathing soft and warm for you;
Wholesome lessons now inpart;
Keep, o keep that young heart true,
Extricating every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed;
Harvest rich you then may see,
Ripening for eternity.

CURRANT WINE.

This article, as usually manufactured,
is rather a cordial than a wine, and is en-
tirely inferior to the commonest import
ed wine but when properly made, it
will be found to be a very superior
healthy beverage, particularly for sum-
mer drink when fully diluted with water.
We have experimental carefully on
the making Of currant wine, and the fol-
lowing will be found to give result which
we have found no difficulty in selling
large quantities at 81 per gallon.
Before pressing the juice from the cur
rents, pass between a pair of rollers to
crush them, after which they may be
placed in a strong bag, and they will part
with the juice readily by light pressure,
such as a common screw, heavy weights,
&c. To each quart of juice add three
pounds of double refined sugar; single
refined is not sufficiently pure-then add
as much water as will make one gallon.
Or in other words, suppose the cask in
tended to be used, to be 80 gallons. In
this put thirty quarts of currant juice, 80
lbs of double refined sugar, and fill the
cask to the bung with water; roll it over
till the sugar is all dissolved. This will
be told by its ceasing to rattle in the bar
rel. Next day roll it again and place il
in cellar, where the temperature is sure
to be even. Leave the bung loose, fol
free admission of air. In the course o
two or three days, fermentation will com
mence. By placing the ear to the bune
hole, a slight noise will be heard, such al
: may be observed when carbonic acid i
escaping from champagne or soda water
$ T fermentation will continue for a few
weeks, converting the sugar into alcohol
e As soon as this ceases, drive the bung il
tightly, and leave the cask for about si1
months-the wine may be drawn off per
fectly clear without any excess Of sweet
d ness.
+ The reason why double refined suga
d should be used may be thus understood
- Ordinary sugar contains one-half pc
cent. gum which, when dissolved in waite
becomes fetid. Suppose, then, four 0
+ five ounces of gum, dissolved in a barre
l. of water, we can readily understand tha
4 at the end of few months this water wi
be very foul in favor.
No alcohol should be added. The prac
e tice of putting in small quantities of brar
IL dy and other liquors makes cordial an
)f not wine. All the sugar used may b
h so fermented as at least TO change il
character chemically, and this change wi
'e produce all the alcohol required Wori

MnKNG.-It is no easy matter 10
teach an old man or woman how to milk
a COW. The art should be taught to all
the children while they are capable OF
learning. They should learn in the first
place to treat the COW with kindness, for
we know of but few cows that will be
forced to part with. all their milk.
But when treated kindly they are
pleased to be relieved of food in a
distended bag, and will never object to
be stripped when known friend ap-
proaches. 1t is quite important to milk
cows with rapidity. Let no one be per-
mitted to sit and talk to friend while
drawing the milk. Let the operator
know that no talking is to be permitted
in the coward, for milking and talking
are two distinct operations, and mus
never be united.
The milk must all be drawn out will
rapidity, or a portion of the best of it il
lost. In half minute after common
cling the process of drawing out the mill
there is a rapid flow which must not b
checked. If the COW is left for a minut
or two when half the milk is drawn, tn
natural flow is checked, the milk return
into the ducts, and you must wait for
part of it till the next milking time.
But by repetition of this carele:
mode of milking the quantity is gradua
ly diminished till in short time the CO
is dry. Whereas, by attention to II
milking with rapidity, and drawing a
from the udder, the COW will yield h
e milk freely for ten months after her tin
: of calving. And we hold that all GOV
ought to go dry for two months befo
{ having another calf.-PIoGghman.

An INCIDENT OF SPIRITUALIsM.-
A long bearded customer recently entered
a spiritual bookstore in this city, and ap-
piled for an agency. He proposed to
take large quantity of books to his part !
of the country "away out west" where he
represented he could sell them, as he was
assured by invisibles. The enterprising
bookseller was of course delighted with
the prospect Of a sale; but his enthusi-
asm was somewhat dampened when his
long bearded customer remarked that he
had no money, and wanted the books en-
tirely on credit.
