My Star.

When l was child, my mother was
wont TO sit with me at the twilight hour,
telling me, perchance, fairy tale, or a
story Of chiIdren-good little children
of the olden time. Sometimes she spoke
to me of the better land-our brighter
home-biddirg me seek it Alright. Oh!
at those twilight hours good angels came
very near us-so near fancied could
almost hear their singing, almost see
their lovely forms lowering above u.s.
One evening in the autumn time, my
mother, who had grown pale and thin of
late, sat by the open door, idly, even sady
watching, while day furled her red ban
ners in a soft, purple haze, and thin stars
came out in Heavens blue vault. Then
she called me to her, asking me which
of all the stars loved the best. ! rails
ed my finger, pointing to the evening star
the first to shine when they day has fed.
Ave, love il ever, my child; may it be
truly a light to thee, cheering the dark
hours of life, guiding thee at last to thy
mother. aud thy heaven.
She passed from earth, my gentle mo-
ther. Childhood had for me one great
sorrow, one crushing grief. Everywhere
missed her who had made existence a
charmed thing to me; but nowhere, and
at no time, did / so sorrow for her loss
as at the twilight hour. Then would a
desolation come over me, a sense Of fear
fd loneliness At this time looked upon
my star, pure, bright, and beautiful. The
words of my mother came over my soul
like some forgotten thing, charming its
very sadness. / fancied through the
stars she looked upon me, spoke to ME,
and her words were peace. A new Joy
stole into my sad heart, trust, conf
dence. Another spell was thrown around
nv star, it had comfOrted me in sorrow.
A weary way hath been mine since
then, but a holy thing my star hath been
to me. 1t hath charmed away my sor-
row, ii hath inspired my soul to high and
holy endeavor.it hath been to me friend
constant and true. For many years /
have loved it, glimpses Of glory my soul

Driving RhubaPb,

Rhubarb dries very well, and when

definite period. The stalks should be
broken off while they are crisp and ten

length. These pieces should then be-
strung on thin twine and hung up 10

Valuable Wash for Buildings.

1 saw an inquiry IN the Cultivator a
short time since for a good whitewash
that would not wash off / send you the
following. More than, three years ago
/ whitewashed my barn and outbuildings
with it, and they look nearly as we'll as
when first put on. The recipe was or
riginally taken from the National Intel
ligencer.
Take half bushel Of rock lime slack
it with boiling water; cover it during the
process to keep the steam in. Strain
the liquid through fine sieve and add
to it peck of salt previously well dissol-
we'd in warm water three pounds of ground
rice boiled to thin paste, aud stirred in
boiling hot, half pound of Spanish whit
ing and pound of clean glue which has
been previously dissolved by soaking it
well and then hanging it over a slow fire
in small kettle within a large one filled
with water. Add five gallons of hot
water to the mixture, stir it we'll and let
it stand few days covered from the
dirt.
1t should be put on right hot. For
this purpose it can be kept in a kettle on
a portable furnace. Abou: a pint of
this mixture will cover a square yard on
the outside of house if properly applied.
1t answers as oil paint for wood stone or
brick and is cheaper. II retains its
brilliancy for many years. There is
nothing that will compare with it either
for ipeida or outside ,ualIy
Color may be put in and made of any
shade you like. Spanish brown stirred
in will make red pink, more or less deep
according to the quantitity. Yellow
ochre stirred in makes yellow-wash but
chrome goes further and makes a color
far prettier. In all these cases the dark
ness of the shades of course is determined
by the quantity of coloring used.

When TO Skim Milk,

A dairy-woman in Western New
York, speaks in the emphatic tone as to
the best time; She says the right time
TO skim milk is gust as the milk begins
TO sour at the bottom of tie pans. Then
the cream is all at the surface and should
be at once removed-with as little of
the milk as possible. If allowed to re.
main until the acid reaches me cream or
to become thick it di;ninishes the cream
and impairs it in quality. The house
wife or dairymaid who thinks to obtain a
greater quantity by allowing the milk to
stand beyond that time labors under a
most egregiOus mistake. Any one who
doubts this has only to try it to prove the
truth of this assertion. Milk should be
looked TO at least three times a day.

Agriculture in France.

Since the accession of Napoleon III,
and especially during the last FIVE years,
agriculture has made great progress as a
science, and has been given a place in
consideration by French Society, such as
it never had before. This advance is un.
doubtedly much due to the vigorous en-
couragenent accorded by government.
Thirty years ago if a scion of The aristoc-
racy proposed to cultivate his properly,
he had TO encounter the railery Of his
friends, and the Whim was attributed
TO perilous eccentricity; but at present
it IS beginning TO be admitted that ,agri-
culture is profession, and one in which
a gentleman can acquire profit and honor.

TransDlantlng Trees.

If Nurserymen would mark the north
side before they were taken up, and when
set out to have the tree put in the ground
with its north side TO the north in its nat
ural position, a larger proportion would
live. Ignoring this law of nature, is the
cause of so many transplanted trees dy.

To Destroy Flies.

To one pint of milk add quarter
pound Of sugar and two ounces Of ground
pepper simmer them together eight or
ten minutes and place them around in
shallow dishes. The flies attack it gree
dily and are soon sufocated. BY this
method kitchens &c may be kept clear of
flies all summer without the danger at
tending poison. We copy this from an
anonymous source. 1t is easily tried and
if effective will be valuable.

Though I've wandered far, my hearts not here
It's still in my far distant home;
And mem'ry still bidss with the loved and dea
Though pleasant the scenes where I roam
Though pleasant the voices that greet me,
Yet ne'er can they strike the heart chords,
And vibrate such music, more sweetly,
As then echoed love in kind words,
As then echoed love in kind words.
Though thousands we're ready to love me,
The length of my days would seem drear,
If thoughts Of the angeled above me,
With those that I earthly hold dear,
Were effaced from my fond recollection
I'd regret my long earthly stay,
Gould not my present affection
COmmingle with that far away,
COmmingle with that faraway.
How sweetly some voices, how pleasant,
Re-echo the ones that have flown,
Uniting the past with the present,
Place memory high on her throne;
Such music could have to bless me,
Then never would seem alone;
The past would then fondly caress me,
The present would be all my own,
The present would be all my own.

SaIt Your Stock.

Experience proves that when cattle or
horses are fed on dry corn and hay, they
will consume from two to three ounces
of salt per day, if per nitted free access
TO it; and if fed with new hay OF grass the
desire for sall is much increased and the
consumption amounts to from SIX to seven
ounces a day. Little things keep the
ball rolling. Give the cattle salt.
