A Tribute to Printers.

1t is indeed encouraging to know that
printers are occasionally duly appreciated.
The following extract from the report of
the Committee on Printing of the Legisla-
ture Of Wisconsin, pays refreshing COM
pliment to editors and printers. Read it:
We are not aware that printers and news
paper proprietors are class of SD little use
in the community. or SO destructive of its
interests, as to be entitled TO but half COM
pensation for the labor and services which
they perform. Bur your committee do be-
lieve- that no class of men perform more
gratuitous services for all general and local
interests, or more actively and effectively
engage in disseminating information, ma
king known the resources of the country,
and inciting to action the energies of the
people, than the printers. ProPrietors and
editors of newspapers.

Danger of Hooped Skirts.

We see it stated that the medical atten-
dant of the Princess of Gothland asserts
that hoop skirts are the cause of accouch-
menls lately becoming so dangerous and
difficult He adds that this fashion is the
source of a vast number of chills, the con-
sequences of which are, in many cases,
mortal. Ii this gentleman is to be credit
ed, the prevailing method ladies adopt to
spread themselves has as many deaths to
answer for in Swe len as cholera. We have
always thought that hooped skirts of reason
able bounds were not only au adornment to
The persons of the fair wearers, but on &C,
count of their vsntilating character, actual
ly beneficial to health. Ladies generally
evidently think so. and as they are the actual
sovereigns of creation, and will wear what
suits them, we doubt whether This statement
will have any effect. One thing is certain.

Where to do Good.

A gentleman. somewhat noted for vein
of humor, was riding some years ago in
stage coach in New Hampshire. Among
hs companions were a number of gentle
men whose black coats and white cravats
bespoke their clerical profession. The con-
versation turned upon politics, and after
wards upon its inevitable concomitant, the
institution of slavery. The clerical gentle
men were of what is termed the coHservs-
1--WE school. The principal spokesman in
Weighed strongly against the anti-slavery
leaders, and against Mr.. Garrison in partic-
ular, for agitaling the question so far away
from the region most interested. elf he
wants to attack the evil" said he, why
does he not 90 where he can make some i'm
preston upon it-where it exists? Why
does he squirt his little engine at FIRE which
is burning a Thousand miles off ?'' The
reverend gentlemen chuckled heartily at this
sally, and the speaker looked around with >
triumphant air. The person first named,
though an eminent judge, was plainly dress
ed, and had few external attractions. The
exulting clergyman turned upon him as he
sat in silence upon the front seat. and asked
him "what he thought about it?'' ''You,
gentlemen, said the Judge, appear to be
ciergymen. Your object is to battle against
sin. and TO overthrow Satan's kingdom
Now, If that is your object, Why do you
| stay among decent, Christian people? Why,
in the DEVILS name, don't you go to hell?'

Keeping the Teeth Clean.

Microscopical examinations have been
made of the matter deposited on the teeth
and gums of more than forty individuals,
selected from all classes of society, in eve
ry variety of bodily condition, and in near
ly every case animal and vegetable parasites
have been discovered. OF the animal para
sites there were three or four species, and of
the vegetable. one or Two. In fact, the on
ly persons whose mouths were found to be
completely free from them, cleansed their
teeth four times daily, using soap. One or
two of these individuals also passed thread
between the teeth, to cleanse them more eff
fectually. In all cases the number of para
sites was greater in proportion to the neg
lect of cleanliness. The effect of the ap-
Plication of various agents was also noticed.
Tobacco juice and smoke did not injure
their vitality in the least. The same was
true of the chlorine tooth wash, of pulver-
ized bark, of soda, ammonia, and various
other popular detergents. The application
of soap, however, appears IT, destroy them
instantly. We may hence infer that this is
the best and most proper specific for the
teeth. In all cases where il has been tried
it received unqualified commendation. 1t
may also be proper TO add that none but the
purest white OF CASTLE soaps should be used.
We have been in the habit of using finely
pulverized charcoal for this purpose, and
have found it most excellent dentifrice.-

lent elections spring up from it and such
fruit is Feaped from it as the Lecompton
Constitution. The corruption fund is a.
self-supporting one. The money that is
spent in carrying elections is reimbursed
from the public property or the public
Treasury by the votes of those whom it
has elected. That horn of plenty is always
full, though oEen at both ends; for what it
loses at one end, it gains at the other.
The NAV is Insatiate, but the snrply is al
so unlimited so long as the funds or the
credit of the Uuited States hold out. The
ton, in Pennsylvania, two years ago. when
the Democratic nominees were fraudulent
ly elected by the aid of the contributions
furnished by New York bankers. politi-
clans. ocean mail contractors, and such
persons. It has been steadily prosecuted
since in the Congressional and Admins
trative branches of the Government
Promises were made that patronage would
be showered on members of Congress from
the free States who would vote for the Le-
compton Constitution. Since the day of
Buchanan's nomination, the same engine
ry has been At work, and it has thorough
ly debased and demoralized the party which
sustains him. They are an immense stand
ing army, who deyour the substance of the
country. Their ascendancy has enabled
them to lay their hands on that substance,
and This again enables them to renew their
ascendancy- They have an organization
which is as hostile to freedom of express
ion or independence of action as the army
of Louis Napoleon. The word of the Pres
ident is the command of the General. Re
fusal to obey is mutiny, and mutiny is pun
ished with dishonor, and expulsion from the
ranks. Thus we see rising from the bo-
som of slave communities, and the surging
masses of our great cities and the Federal
offices, an organization that threatens TO
harden into'a despotism more oppressive to
freedom of opinion, and more deeply STAIN
ed with fraud, and stepped in corruption,
than the parliamentary majorities of Wal
pole, and having no parallel in history, past
or cotemporary. except in the armies of a
Roman Caesar or French Emperor.

Family Failings.

The habit of viewing everything in >
ridiculous light, Is one of the family fail
ings that would warn against. 1t too Of
ten leads to an unamiabie desire to detect
and hold up to ridicule the faults of others,
and it almost always destroys the finer feel
ings of admiration for what Is beautiful, aud
the tender and more lovable qusiities of put
ting the best construction upon the actions
of others, etc. A critical, censorious, fault
finding woman is most unamiable being;
and let US not conceal the true odiousnessof
such propensities in ourselves, under the
guise of a sense of the ludicrous.
In many families, however, where both
love and good prevail. there is what may
be called an irksome, rather than sinful
mode of carping and contradicting one
another No harm is meant, and no ofense
is taken; but what can be more irksome
than 10 hear two sisters, for instance, con-
tinually setting each other right upon tri-
fling points. and differing from each ether
in opinion for no apparent reason. but from
a habit of contradiction, and such habit
does it become, that one may sometimes
see persons who have acquired it, contra
dict their own statements just made, the
moment any one advances the same opin--
ion. It is generally on such tribes that this
bad habit shows itself, so that it may seem
needless to advert to it: but it is family
fault, and should be watched against, for it
is an annoyance, though but petty one,

DOES IT ISJURE BUTTER TO Color IT
This question was answered by A. L.
Smith in the Genesee Farmer, In the affirm
alive. He says: s z4 r-
'.Pure butter has but one flavor, if prop
erly made, and when you add anything 10
il, then it is not butter. To those who are
troubled with white butter, would recon-
mend the propriety of coloring the COW. IN
this Wise:-Give the COW carrots, yellow
corn meal. well sailed. together with corn
stalks. Boiled potatoes and wheat bran
may also be used with cut stalks; or the
stalks may be fed whole, and cooked food
separate. If you will follow these direc-
tiens. and keep away your. boiling water,
the butter will be sufficiently colored.

Narrowing Turnips.

Turnips sown broadcast too thick to grow

those that remain untouched by the harrow

put them in rows as though planted with a

ioesens the crust that forms over some land /,
so that the plants left take rapid start and

seen winter wheat highly benefited by 3

Roasting a chicken may be thought

Roasting a chicken may be thought a
very simple operation; but in our opinion,
not one in ten of modern housekeepers can
do it to perfection. Firstly, because they
have no conveniences The abominable
cooking stove has spoiled many dish, and
none more SO than this of roast chicken,
which never has been, and never will be,
roasted to perfection in any other way than
tied up by the legs, swinging by string;
before wood fire, dripping It's gravy into a
pan in which there is a little cream and a
lump of butter, with which the roast is to
BE- basied from time to time, until the skin
is brown and flesh thoroughly cooked. Il
is this cooking in the open air that gives it
the peculiar sweetness. If chicken must
be roasted or baked in stove-oven, it
should be done with the oven door open.
With some stoves it can be much better done
in an open pa1 set down before the CRATE.
All holes in the body of the fowl should De
sewed up as tight as possible-not merely

Beautiful.

The following lines are from the pen of
Geo. D. Prentice:
why is it that the rainbow and the cloud
come-over US with beauty that is not OF
earth and then pass away, and leave US to
muse on faded lpveliness? Why is il that
The stars that hold the nightly festival a
round the midnight throne. are placed above
the reacl OF our limited faculties. mocking
US with their unapproachable glory? And
why is it that the bright forms of human
beauty are presented to our view and then
taken from Us. leaving the thousand streams
of affection to flow back in almighty torrents
upon the human heart? We are born of a
larger destiny than that of earth. There is
land where the stars will be set before US
like islands in the ocean. and where the
beautiful beings that pass before US like
meteor, will say in our resence forever.

Music ia Schools.

The following is an extract from speech
of Gov Banks, OF Massachusetts,, deliver
ed in Music Hall, Boston, on the occasion
of the Inauguration of q new series OF mu-
sical festivals at the recent annual exhibi-
ton of the public schools of that city:
The study of music is one of the most
practical studies in which men or women
can engage. There is no hour of the day,
no hour of life, no occupation in which men
or women may be engaged, when the pow
er of impressing the human thought or the
human sympathies in harmonious numbers
is not only practicable, but where it is not
needed. Ii sweetens the atmosphere of the
boudoir; it makes more pleasant the dark
ened shop Of the artisan; in the street il
takes the place of riot and ribaldry; and in
whatever association or on whatever occa-
sion men or women may be gathered, the
power of common utterance and human
sym pathies in these harmonious numbers,
as expressed by that most majestic organ,
the human voice, never can be heard with
out moving the heart to its deepest, high
est and serenest pleasure. E
More than that, teaching music in the
SCHCOlS 10 I1C III StCP III A1oSiSOi
culture. 1t is step of the highest and
most important character. 1t is the cul
ture of the voice-the human voice-that
organ which has more power over the world
than any other power of which man is the
possessor. More than the lore of the
schools, more than the attainments of sci
ence, more than the cunning of the artisan
and the craftsman, more than the skill OF
the professor, the human voice can mould
and direct the masses of men in the right
way, to the general good. And there can
be no culture of this majestic organ, OF
which alone the poet has well said that il
has the power of
Untwisting all the links that tie
The hidden soul of harmony;
there can be no general culture of that or
gan, except it be through the instrumental
ity of teaching music in the common
schools, to the high and low, to the learn
ed and unlearned, to those who have taste
and to those who come TO acquire TASTE
And to give this power to one and to all.
is the only method and the only principle
we have to improve and increase US in the
use of the finest instrument with which
God has strengthened the human system.

LONGEVITY OF MULEs-W We have nu-s
merous reports of mules attaining the age
of forty. ffty, OF sixty years; and Colonel
Middleton, OF South Carolina, stated some
years ago that he had one at work on his
plantation eighty years old; and we have
seen an account of mule in Ireland. cer-
lifed to have been at work since 1707, ma
king him over one hundred and City years
old. This is. of course. very uncommon
age; but We are satisfied that, with proper
usage. mules would commonly attain to
about forty years, being serviceable to the
last. and this should be counted as one OF
their elements of value. &
