BUTTER IN FIVE MINUTEs.-We
copy the following from the N. Y.
Rural AnaericGn:
"Strain the milk, and set it away
for twelve hours, to allow the cream to
rise; after letting it stand for the above
time, set the milk on the stove, and
allow it to remain there until the milk
assumes wrinkled appearance. Do
not allow the milk to boil, or become
disturbed, as it would cause the cream
to mix with the milk. When sufficient
cream has been collected, take wood
en- bowl, or suitable vessel, and having
scalded it, rinse it in cold water, and
place the cream in it. The operator
should hold his hand in water as hot
as can be borne for few seconds, then
plunge it in cold water for about .
minute, and at once commence to agi-
tate the cream by circular motion.
In FIVE minutes or less the butter will
be formed, when it can be washed and
salted to suit the taste. During tho
winter season, the vessel containing
the cream should be placed over ano-
ther containing hot water, to warm it !;
continue to agitate the cream until the
chill has departed. We hope that our
readers will try this method; no better
butter can be made by any churn ever
invented. -

Faith in the North Star.

When / was a child my father one
night gave shelter and rest to a fugi-
tive from slavery. For his greater Sc
curity, he preferred to stay in the barn
concealed among the hay. The poor
fellow was an object of absorbing
interest to us children. shall never
forget his fantastic dress, and the mix
ture of the grotesque and pitiable in
his manner. The falling of a leaf
startled him, and he trembled to ac-
cept the least kind. Office, least it was
meant to betray for he fancied, as
well he might, poor creature, that
every mans hand was against him.
He had come long way, and his
feet were sore, and his coarse and
scanty clothing was torn by the briars
among which he had concealed himself
during the days, for his fear had no,
permitted him to travel, except OF
nights. He had a sweetheart some
where, who had escaped year before
him; where she was he did not know
but his faith in their ultimate meeting
knew no shadow of doubt. She SCI
her face right towards the north STAR
said he, Sand that's the way rs gwine
till | finds her."
On stormy nights he had, for the
most part, laid by, he said, because ht
could not see that star, and it was use
less to go forward without some guide
eff a body only has de north STAR
said he, he's safe, but he amt with
out, kase he hain't got light in himself
for to go by"
Many time when / have seen men
and women zig-zagging through the
world, without any guiding light, ]
have thought of that poor fugitive and
his North star, and wished there were
more of his childlike faith and reliance
in the world.
Many and many year has passed
since he went into the storm and the
darkness and how and where hi.
journey ended / never knew, but dc
know that such faith and trust as his
cannot be always baffied, and that, con
fding alone in God, he will be gath
cred up into light so broad and brigh
that no shadow can find access to him
and no fear to come to mock him.
We are taught to trust in ourselves
and it is very noble and beautiful so t.
trust, but higher or lower and broadel
than our self reliance may be our faitl
in him through whom only that reliance
can be assured. In the long run, nc
man can help himself who does no
say "God help me-" And no mar
lives life worth having who does no
say in his soul, (" / know that my Re
deemer liveth." No matter what gift,
or riches, or genius or of beauty, :
man possesses, if he have no faith il
light outside of himself, he is poor in
deed. walking in vain show and dis
quieted in vain" Alice Carey.

Be Happy as You Are.

Wife and mother, are you tired and
out of patience with your husbands
and your children's demand upon your
time and attention? Are you tempted
to speak out angry feelings to that
faithful, but, perhaps sometimes heed
less or exacting husband of yours ? or
to scold and fret at those sweet and
beautiful little ones? Do you groan,
and say, "What fool was to marry,
leave my fathers house, where lived
at ease and in quiet?' Are you, by
reason of the care and WEAKNESS of
body which wifehood and motherhood
mast bring, forgetful of and ungrateful
for their comforts and their Joys
Oh wife and mother, what if q stroke
should smite your husband and lay him
low? What if your children should
be snatched from your arms and from
your bosom? What if there were no
soft little innocents to nestle in your
arms, and to love you or receive your
love? How would it be with you then:
Be patient and kind, dear wife be un.
wearying the long suffering, dear moth.
er; for you know not how long you
may have with you your best and dear.
est treasures-you know not how long
you may tarry with them. Let there
be nothing for you to remember which
will wiring your heart with remorse i
they leave you alone; let there bs
nothing for them to remember but
sweetness, and love unutterable, if yor
are called to leave them by the way
Be patient, be pitiful, be tender of then
:. all, for death will step, sooner or later
between them and you. And oh ! wha
would you do if you should be doomed
to sit solitary and forsaken through
years and years? Be happy as yol
are, even with all your trials; for be
lieve it, thou wife OF loving and tru,

NUMBER 50.


The statistics Of the British metrop-
oils for the present year, show some
interesting aggregates. The people Of
that city seem to have a good deal Of
thirst, and the facilities for allaying,
the same are quite extensive.
According to the most reliable ac-
count, London contains 1000 public
houses, and 1000 wine merchants.
The bread which offsets this enormous
quantity of sack, is furnished by $500
bakers. Then there are / ZOO butchers
mot including the pork butchers 1000
tea dealers and grocers, 1920 coffee
house keepers, nearly 1,500 dairymen,
and 1860 tobacconists. 6s1 7'G
To look after the health and diges-
ton of the people, there are upwards
of 2,4OO duly licensed practitioners,
surgeons and physicians, in the mighty
metropolis, whose patients are handed
over, in due course Of time, to 500 un-
dertakers.
Nearly 5000 boot and shoe makers
do the shoeing of the Londoners, and
their bodies are clothed by $3.50 tall
ors. The raiment of the fair sex 10
supplied by 1850 linen drapers (dry
goods retailers,) and 1900 milliners
and dress makers. This does not in.
clude all the poor creatures who 'stitch,
stitch, stitch, over seam and gusset and
band," but only those who have fixed
and known abodes. -
The young idea is taught to shoot
in $40 private schools, and 800 pawn
brokers' shops relieve the temporary
necessities of those who follies or vices
have thrown them into reverses.
About 100000 houses give shelter to
upwards of 100000 people, whose
little differences are aggravated or set
tied by upwards of 5000 attorneys and
5000 barristers. ~ v,-se
The souls of the great multitude Of
London are cared for by $50 clergymen
and dissenting ministers, who preside
over 429 churches and 423 chapels, Of
which latter buildings the Indepen-
dents have l2l, the Baptists 100, the
Wesleyans II, the Roman Catholics
20, the Calvanists and English Presby-
terians 10 each, the Quakers Z, the
Jews 10, and numerous other sects from
one to FIVE each. These statistics will
assist the reader in forming an idea Of
the greatness of London. =

LET THE CHILDREN SLEEP.-Ws
earnestly advise that all who think
great deal, who have infirm health, who
are in trouble, or who have to work
hard, to take all the sleep they can get,
without medical means. 81 f3as1 -
We caution parents, particularly, not
to allow their children TO be walked up
of mornings; let nature wake them up,
she will not do it prematurely; but
have care that they go to bed at an
early hour; let it be earlier and earlier,
until it is found that they wake up
themselves in full time to dress for
breakfast. Being walked up early, and
allowed to engage in difficult, or any
studies, late and just before retiring,
has given many a beautiful and prorn-
ising child brain-fever, or determined
ordinary ailments to the production Of
water on the brain.
Let parents make every possible ef-
forts to have their children go to sleep
in pleasant humor. Never scold or
give lectures, or in any way wound .
child's feelings as it goes to bed. Let
all Danish business and every worldly
care at bedtime, and let sleep come to
mind at peace with God and all the
world. Il rnf s4 sis

FEEDING TURNIPs. - Two cores
pondents in the New Hampshire Jour
nal of Agriculture affirm that they have
fed turnips to milk cattle for number
of years, and the milk has never been
favored by them. The practice adopt
ed has invariably been to have the tur
nips well washed and cut up, and fed
to the cattle at the time Of milking,
and so important is this particular time
to be observed, that it was noted when
the turnips on one or two occasions
were fed an hour or two after that
time, the milk then was affected by the
peculiar flavor of the tnrnip.

item of $169,747.-W Where has the
money gone ?-tShO,oing that bit for
Democratic neglect to pay interest
on State Debt not a cent Of State tac
arOuld nou be nessesSdry.
In our last article upon this subject,
we exhibited, from democratic" Off
cial records, as one cause of the in
crease of the direct State tax, the fact
that THE DEMOCRATS EVERY YEAR
DIsREGARDED THE CONSTITUTIONAL
AND THEIR SWORN DUTY,
''to provide for an AnauaI Idc sUFFI-
GENT to pay the Ordinary Erpenses
of the State Government and the In
terest on the State Debt"
The democratic" official figures
given, prove conclusively that, while
the aggregate 'expenses and interest" !"
for the five years named, were 81, $685.
294 the democrats only provided, by
direct and specific taxes, and all other
means, $723,OO0 to pay them, and left
a deficit of $s12,294 unpaid; and that
while the annual expenses and interest
were 1907, ,O59, the annual means pro-
vided to meet them were only Sl44,6OO,
leauing AN ANNUAL DEFICIT OF one

"But," says the the reader, chow
could they be thus negligent of raising
means, as you have shown, and still
keep the machinery of government
moving, and leave surplus of $469, ,OOC
in the Treasury, as they did in January
1852" We answer:
/. In the foregoing tables we have in
cluded all the s'expenses and interest
which the democrats ought to have
"provided an annual tac sufficient tc
pay" In the aggregate deficit is
included $500, ,339 of ''interest unpaid,
which they should have provided ar

not provide tax for nor pay This
