A good Joke.

Every body remembers M'Donald
Clarke, who was so wei! known in New
York, few years siuce, as the "Mad
Poet" During the past years of his
life, Clarke was made free at the Astor
House table, and often times this errant
man of genius could be seen accepting
its hospitalities wien other doors were
closed on his fallen fortunes. Every one
knew Clarke by sight; and one day, while
quietly taking his dinner, two Southern
ers, seating themselves opposite, com
menced a conversation intended for the
ears of Clarke. One said: p. a.
"Well! have now been in New York
two months, and have seen all l wish to
see with one exception" 80. ae- sst
"Ah!" said the other, "what is that?'
IN Donald Clarke, the great poet,
responded No. l, with strong empha.
sis. E-F. ~ E lti) ~ gf.
Clarke raised his eyes slowly from his
plate, and seeing that the attention of the
table was on him, stood up, placing hi
hand over his heart, and bowing witt
great gravity to the Southe:ners, said:
II am M'Donald Clarke, the grea
poet" ,&7r.f yaa ~ aN wnr'se'
The Southerner started in mock sur
prise, gazed at him in silence for few
moments, and then, amidst an audible tit

a quarter-dolIar and laying it before @

raised the quarter in silence and dignity
bestowed it in his pocket. drew thence q,

Southerner with these words: * 49,,

A brick wall built across the middle OF
the fire chamber, to within two inches Of
the bottom of the pan, will throw the heat
against the bottom of the pan, and save
much fuel.
Some of the most successful sugar ma.
kers say, it is of the greatest Importance
in sugar making, that the sap be reduced
to syrup in the shortest possible time after
collected. Although the sap may not
sour in sev'ral days, it's properties are
undoubtedly affected by light and air, and
the amount of crystalizable matter con.
siderably diminished, so that even if the
rum be lighted for few days, it is best
to reduce to syrup every 8 or IL hours
This precaution is even more necessary
in the latter part of the season. when the
sap crystalizes with more difficult. BY ju
dicious boiling the available run may be
prolonged several days.
To 'sugsr off, the syrup should be
strained through thick woolen cloth in
to a medium sized kettle, and reduced
slowly, carefully guarding against burn
ing, as this would greatly injure the color
and quality of tie sugar. 1t is sufficient
ly done, when threads of the thick syrur
break off short like glass, after cooling
quickly in water or on snow. Then re-
move it from the fire, stir it continually
and when it begins to grain, Immediately
turn it into the moulds Grained sugar
is prepared in the same manner, only tha
the stirring is continued until the mass il
dry. ..
We have said nothing Of clarifying, TO-
experience has proved that if proper car,
be taken to keep every article used in tn,
various processes scrupulcusly clean, ant
to prevent leaves, insects, etc., from fal
ling into the sap, no clarifying agents ar'
needed We have eaten maple sugar o
the finest quality both as to flavor on,
color, make entirely without clarifying.

in small cakes, weighing from two to fou

Hints on Making Maple Sugar.

The time for tapping Of course varies
with the locality and character of the sea-
son.. In many places 10 ordinary seasons
a large amount of sugar is made dur
ing February. The business should
commence as soon as the sap will flow. IN p.
Where but few trees are attended to,
the ordinary fixtures and utensils used for
ihousehold purposes will be sufficient; but
where sugar making is q part of the busi-
ness of the farm. the grove or "sap bush"
numbering from hundred to q thousand
trees, special, and in some cases extensive
For tapping, q 4 inch bit is generally
preferred, The holes should be to 2
inches deep, entering only the sop wood,
and inclining slightly upwards, to prevent
the sap remaining and souring in the orifce.
Boxing or chipping is condemned,
as injurions to the tree, and the cash being
exposed to the air, the wood soon dries,
so as to require additional cutting or fresh.
ening. - go
Wooden tubes, or quill elder, sumach,
or pine, as may be most convenient, are
preferable to tin or sheet iron. They
should be fitted closely into the opening.
Pals or tubs Of cedar or pine, the inside
unpainted. with a board cover to exclude
leaves and dust, are the best vessels for
receiving the sap from the tree. They
may be hooped with wood, and made quite
cheaply.Til 1f,se.r.ici s4i s.. u gsaaIf ..,f gis
Itis we'll TO have the top oflarger di.
amcter than the bottom, SO that ice may
be easily removed, in case the sap should
freeze in them An augur hole or notch
cut in the edge of the cover; admits the
sap into the pail. osI711a i.a ..ia 70 =. =.
When the trees are quite near each 9th
er, labor may be saved by using leading
troughs, running from tree to tree, and
finally emptying into q receiving tub. o.

which the collecting vessels are remptied
There is more wasted in this manner from
leaking, spilling, and evaporation, than
in the common method of hauling the
sap to the boiling place in capaciou,

What a Newspaper does for Nothing

The following article should be read
and pondered well BY every man that
owes, for printing and takes our paper
without paying for. it., gs.g.5, j,ss ~ .aa4i,a
The result of my information enables
nae to state q fact that the publishers Of
newspapers. are more poorly rewarded
than any men in the United States who
invest an equal amount of labor, capital,
and thought. They are expected to do
more service for less pay; to stand more
sponging and dead-heading; to puff and
defend more persons without fees or hope
of reward than all other classes. They
credit wider and larger, get oftner cheat
ed, suffer more pecuniary losses; are oft.
ner the victims of misplaced confidence
than any other. 1t goes harder for q
man to spend dollar on valuable news
paper than ten on needless gew gaw's,
yet everybody avails himself of the edit
or's pen and printers ink. '2 .'al
How many professional men and po-
litical regulations and fortunes have
been made and sustained by the friendly
though unrequited pen of the editor. 90
How many railroads now in successful
operation, would have foundered but for
the clever that moves the world |" In
short what branch of industry and activi-
ty has not been promoted, stimulated,
and defended substantially by the press?
And who has rendered it more than q
miserable pittauce for it's mighty services!
The bazaars of fashion and the haunts of
appetite and dissipation, arc thronged BY
an eager crowd bearing gold in their
palms, and the commodities there needed
are sold at enormous profits, though in
trinsically worthless, and paid for with
scrupulous punctuality, while the count
ing room of the newspaper is the seat o
jewing, cheapening trade, orders, and
pennies. -. oi- 's' '.. 1s.-i

DICTATORSHIP PRoPosED FOR HAYTI-Late
advices from Hayt state that the Chambers had
appointed committee, who waited on President
Gefrard, and proposed to him to assume the Office
and title Of Dictator Of Hayt, arguing that by the
absolute authority thus accruing to him he could
proceed better in his great work Of the social re-
organization Of the country. President Geffrard
had declined the honor. La Republique, jour
nal established under the present regime. has ex-
erted its influence in favor of the proposed dcta
torship, which would invest Geffrard with almost
despotic power. The course Of the President in
declining to assume dictatorial sway is recorded
TO his praise, but II is intmated that another ap-
plcation will be more successful
