RESULTS OF CALULATIeN.

There are many persons who cannot, or
win not, appreciate the harmony and bean
~ of natural laws, the reason being we sup
poee, that they are incapable of following
the calculations necessary for their elucida-
ton, and thus, by avoiding all the trouble
the result brings no pleasure to them
Where can anything more beautiful be
found, and in what fact can you find great
er demonstration of the universe, than that
the same law which governs the motions of
the planets, also controls falling stone!
The same force which binds the rocks to-
9ether also keeps in contact the particles Of
skin on our hands. The universe and all
things in it obey system or code of laws
which cannot be broken. 1t may appear
extraordinary when we state that there is
nothing violent or irregular in nature. The
upheaved rocks OF former ages have all been
upheaged gradually, and in obedience to q
-ccn,rolling power; even apparently capri
will progress, in definite and given path
aronnd the globe; and the eruption of a vol
-cano can Se calculated to nicely. Storms
can be prognosticated, hurricanes predicted,
and comets appearance prophesied; all
these wonders are the result of hard and
dry figures, the consequence of great calcu-
lation. Who, in future, will not have Q
great respect for arithmetic!

THE AUTUMN EVENINGS.

: The autumn evenings just arrived re-
.siye some pleasant recollections of the past
when all the world seemed happy, and when
the family circle gathered around the evening
fire 10 discuss the events of the day. These
were indeed happy evenings at home-but
alasi since then many changes have taken
place. Death has entered many fond and
lovely circle and taken hence beloved one
whose seat is vacant. But there is no ctual
necessity for repining and we will al but
simply ask the reader how the evenings al
home are passed. Many useful lesson can
be learned at home if the sentiments of the
home circle are carefully gathered and gar
nered -and we believe that the foundation
Of more than one great character has been
quietly laid under the genial influences of
evenings spent at home. The conversation
Of mother, with the kind tone and temper
Of father, can make the home circle at
tractive, and thus induce young men and
women to remain within its pale, instead of
seeking enjoyment elsewhere. Parents
should think of this-and the young should
think of the pleasures TO be derived from re-
manning at home. Invitations and COM
mands to appear in the world come in time
come with their accompanying vexations
and annoyances. Spend your evenings at
home, therefore; pass them in efforts to inI-
prove the mind and ennoble and purify the
heart--they will raise fund by small in-
vestments, which may hereafter make you a
mental millionaire.

Hams-A Good Pickle.

Having recently tried, proved and approx.
ed the excellent quality Of Il fam obtaine-
of Haight and Enena, 926 Froht-street, in
this city, we solicited from them the best
directions for pickiihg hams, and they
have cohseutedto TO give their method to the
readers of the AgrlcalturiSt, though the pro-
cess has hitherto been private matter.
For 100 pounds Of Hdms.-Pack them
in barrel or cask, and pofr in watefe g.
nough to- cover them. Pour of the water
and add good rock, or Turks Island salt e.
nough to make brine that will just float
potatoes. Two or three kinds of potatoes
should be dropped in, as some varieties are
much heavier (of gfeater specific gravity)
than others; about the average weight 10 de-
sirable. To the brine for the hundred
pounds thus prepared, add ono pint Of good
molassest ord six to seven ounces Of satl.
petre, using the large, clear crystals, as be-
ing the rurest. Make and ttse the pickle
cold. Then pour the liquid back upon the
hams, aud let them stand six weeks. when
they will be ready for smoking, though they
may stand as much longer as my be desired
as they will in the iirst six weeks take up
al! the salt that they will absorb. When
removed finally for smoking, they should be
thrown into fresh water, snd stand rs
hours.
Take notice, that the position Of the hams
in the barrel shuvld be changed once in 10
or IL days, to- let them lie upon each other
at new points, and allow the bride 10 como
in contact with the parts which had pre-
viously lain together. This is an import.
ant hint in picking hams, whatever kind OF
pickle may be used.

TRUE woMEN.

would have woman as true as Death.
Al the first real lie which works from the
heart outward, she should be tenderly chlo-
reformed into a better world, where she can
have an angel for a governess, and feed on
strange fruits that will make all over again,
even to her bones and marrow. Whether
gifted with The accident of beauty or not, she
should have been moulded in the rose red
clay of Love, before the breath Of life made
moving mortal of her. Love- capacity is
eongenial endowment, and think, after
a while, one gets to know the warm.hued
natures it belongs 10 from the pretty pipe
clay counterfeits of it. Proud she may be
in the sense of respecting herself; but prides
in the sense Of contening others less gifted
than herself deserves the two lowest circles
of vulgar woman's Inferno, where the
punishments are smallpox and bankruptcy.
She who nips off the end of brittle courte :.
sy, as one breaks the tip of an icic!e, to be-
stow upon those whom she ought cordially
and kindly 10 recognize, proclaims the fact
that comes not merely from low bloed, but
of bad blood. Consciousness Of unquestion-
ed position makes people gracious in proper
measure to all; but if woman puts on airs
with her real equals, she has something
about herself or her family she is ashamed
of, or ought to be. Middle, and more than
middle-aged people, who know family histo-
ries, generally see throughit. An official oi
standing was rude to me. Oh. that is the
maternal grandfather, said wise old friend
TO me. he was boor. Better too few words
from the woman we love, than too many
while she is silent, Nature is working fol
herself. Love is sparingly soluble in the
words Of men; therefore, they speak much o
it.; but one syllable of woman's speech car
dissolve more of it than a mans heart car
hoid.---Autocrdt Of the Breakfast Table.
