Mr.. Denniston, practical butteF-maker tells
in the following brief descriptions how the cele-
brated Goshen butter is masBe ,a,,-
The cellar where the milk Is kept should be
cool, well ventilated, and clean. The milk
ought to be strained into pans containing ten
or twelve quarts each. If the weather is very
warm the pans ougEs TO be set on the cellar
bottom otherwise on shelves. The milk
ought not to be churned till it becomes thick
or loppered-the milk and cream are then
churned together. Some dairymeH sltlAa of

dasher churn," driven by dog, horse, or hand
power, according to the size of the dairy The
churn may be half or two thirds full with milk;
and pailful of cold water added before start
ing to churn. In cold weather, warm water is
put in. The churning should be with q slow,
regular motiOn-and to make good, solid but
ter, will take from one hour to one hour and
half; befo the churning is done, another pSil
full of water ought to be put in. When ths~
butter is doses take II out, wash it through ono
water in large tray, throw tie wsteF out,
then salt the butter, using about one ounce Of
pure Liverpool (AshtOn) salt to each pound Of
butter. Work the salt through the butter

then work it carefully over, and set 1t aside for
five or si& hours-work it over sgain, aud set

all of the milk-but not to work it too much,
so as to break the grain, and make it salvey.

KEEP STOCK wARM.

Farmers do not pay sufficient attention TO
the warmth of their stock. but suffer them to
roam about in the open air, exposed to the in
clement weather. The amount OF exercise is
another most important point to attend to-
The more an animal moves about, the quicker
it will breathe, and the more starch, gum, su-
gar, fat and other respiratory elements it must
have in its food and if an additional quantity
of these substances is not given TO supply the
increased demand, the fat and other parts of
the body will be drawn upon, and the animal
will become thinner also, as before observed,
every motion of the body produces: a cores
ponding destruction of the muscles which pro-
duce that motion. II is, therefore, quite evil
dent that the more the animal moves about the
more the heat producing and flesh forming
principle it must receive in its food. Hence,
we see the propriety of Keeping our cattle in
sheds and yards, and not suffering those (par-
ticularly which we intend to fatten) to rove a
bout, consuming more food, and wasting away
more rapidly the various tissues Of the body al
ready formed, and making it more expensive

A Sound Platform.

Hon. J. G. Ten Eyck, the newly elected
Senator from New Jersey, stated, in recent
speech at New Brunswick, that objects of the
Opposition in that State as follows:
lst. To bring about honesty and economy
in onr State and National expenditures.
I'd. To stand by the compromises of the
Constitution.
Sd. To stay the spread of slavery over Ter
ritory now free.
4th. To protect the elective franchise in its
purity.
9Th. To protect American labor.
That is a good enough platform for the
whole country. 1t is essentially the same as
that laid down by Gov Chase in his recent
speech in this city, as the one upon which all
opponents of the present Administration ought
cordially to unite. Who can object to it p
And who is a going to qaarrel about the name

And is this your first step?'
Mrs. Jones was so overcome that, without
any warning, she fell back upon the sidewalk
in fainting fit.
Instantly a number of persons ran to her as
sistance.
"Is your wife subject to fainting in this way?
asked the first conner.
Il doa't know" said Mr.. Brown. "She isn't
my wife. don't know anything about her."
why, its Mrs. Jones, amt it"
"Yes, but I'm not Mr.. Jones'
''Sir," said the first speaker, sterniy, "this is
no place for jesting. trust that you are not
the cause of this. You had better call coach
and carry her directly home"
Poor Brown was dumbfounded.
I wonder, thought he, whether its possible
I'm Jones without knowing it. Perhaps am
really Jones and have gone crazy, in consequence,
of which fancy my name is Brown. And
yet don't think I'm Jones. In spite of all I
will insist that my name is Brown.
"Well, sir, what are you waiting for? 1t is
necessary that your wife should be removed at
once. Will you order carriage?"
Brown saw there was no use to protract the
discussion by denial. He therefore, without
contesting the point, ordered a hackney coach

Brown cast despairing glance at the crowd
around him, and deeming it useless to make op-
position where so many seemed thoroughly con-
vinced that he was Mr.. Jones, followed the la
dy in.
"Where shall drive ?'' asked the whip.
"II-I-don't know" said Brown, where

"Home, of course" mufmured Mrs. Jones.

"No. 19, H street" said the gentleman

at Brown.
"Will you help me out, Mr.. Jones?" said
the lady. I am not fully recovered from the

An explanation followed, the mystery was

THE NEEDLE.

The Christian Intelligencer thus discourses
about the exploits of the needle:
What a wonderful thing is the matter of
sewing 1t began in Paradise, and was the
earliest fruit of the fall. Amidst the odor of
flowers, and by the side of the meandering
streams and under the shade of the green TO
liags where the covering forms of the guilty
progenitors of our race bowed in anguish and
shame, as they took their first lessons in that
art which has ever since been the mark of ser
vitude or sorrow. And yet the curse has not
been without its blessing.
The needle with the thimble has done more
for man than the needle of the compass. The
needle work of the Tabernacle is the most an
cient work of the art. Early used TO adorn
the vestments of the priests, it was honored
by God himself, and became type of beauty
and holiness. "The kings daughter is all glo-
rious within; her clothing is of wrought gold
she shall be brought unto the king in raiment
OF needle work" The magni6Gence of king
ly pomp, the imposing sp of religion
or wealth, the tribute of honor 20 the great

attractions of beauty, are dependent upor

We must go down the hard rough path of
life, and become Injured to care and sorrow in
their sternest forms, before we can take home
to our own experience the dread reaty-no

But when it is said of frail young girl

in that one short sentence.

xrTTLz THINGS.

Springs are little things, but they are sour
sces of large streams: helm is little thing
but it governs the course of ship; bride
bit is little thing, but see its use and power;
nails and pegs are little things, but they hold
the large parts of little buildings together; a
word, look, a frown, all are little things
but powerful for good or evil. Think of this
and mind the little things. Pay that little
debt; its promised, redeem it; if it's shil

Large zequest to the Democratic Par

Lemuel Shovel, the wealthiest man in Wor-
cester county, Maryland, and whig, died on
the 4th inst.
On his death-bed, we understand, he called
his relatives around him, and told them he had
willed them very large property; but from
recent observation, he had become satisfied it
would be of little value to them, unless the
democratic party is successful. His dying
request was, that all his family and relatives
should hereafter act with the democratic par
ty, which they promised to do. The Shovel
family numbers near a hundred in Worcester
county. His property consists, to consider
able extent, of slaves.

No considerate and wise parent viii trust
his chiid-n0 prudent person viii trust himself
a Ito . stranger who he has reason to suspect
= vii commit an injury upon him in any way
The parent pours into the child's ear many
cautions conserving the company he may fall
into, and restrains him from entering into pla-
eee of unknown or suspicious character. Yet
he most inconsistently will allow him the COM
! pany Of books which are strangers, and books
which deserve to be suspected of an immoral
tendency. The names of some authors ought
20 be enough to condemn volumes bearing them,
but children are permitted society with their
-. works. Is this wise and prudent?
!, - Yet such is the common practice of reading
books of whose nature the reader is ignorant,
and IN this practice lies great moral risk !;
gor vary few can pernse bad volume without
keing contaminated in some degree. Some
minds, like some beasts, have choice of aili-
ment, and devour whatever falls in their way.
But this should not be the practice of per
son of pure taste, intelligent mind and healthy
concience. While you would avoid intimacy
with person of whose morals you know moth
ing, why is it. that with most unsafe injudi-
icous hospitality, you hesitate not to take to
your bosom, to receive to your heart-to admit
TO the secret chambers of your imagery-into
your very life, a book, which in one page may
contain more to poison your soul-more to ex
cite impure thoughts and impious dispositions,
than vicious person may be able to do in
twelve month |?
30 - Whence comes much of looseness of princi-
sa pie, the extravagant views and purposes, the
disorganizing and inGdel notions, the vile r-
reverence and total neglect of sacred duties,
manifest in some persons, but from their read
~ ing? IF man may be known by the compa-
ny he keeps, he may be doubly so by the books
sn he reads. And how many books which now
's have done their mischief, would have been cast
into the fire, had their character been known
before the perusal, by persons who now sympa-
thise with their abominable contents
We repeat, that there is a great moral risk
sea IN beginning to read book of whose charac-
ter you are ignorant. We seriously advise our
young friends especially not to open a volume
till they have some positive reason for believ-
,ies- ing it safe and instructive to read. Look to
its Recommendations learn if possible its au-
thor, and heed the advice of friends concerning
it; for that very book may be the cause of
your deterioration in morals and piety, and of
the ruin of all your prospects for life, and of
your soul in eternity. The darkness of night
in an unknown region prompts wise man to
caution and vigilance.
