Maple molasses, we'll made and put up in
cans right from the kettle, and Theoretically
sealed, as you would can and seal fruits, will
keep as fresh as when first boiled from the
cap; and this is decidedly the best plan for
keeping, as when made 10 cakes, if exposed
to the air, it will lose somewhat of the pecu-
lsrly delightful flavor for which it is so
priced, and is often injured by insects. All
this is obviated by canning while hot To
many families who do not make it on large
cans that have been emptied through the
winter can be used until autumn fruits de-
mand them again. Put up your best in this
way. Where large quantities are made for
market, the buyers must select and can for
| themselves.

Wr. Weed attended Mr.. Spurgcon's
church on Sunday the 23d, and thus alluded
to it, to him, and the congregation:
We have Just returned from the Rev
Mr.. Spurgeons Tabernacle, where this re-
markable preacher dispensed and divided
the word of his Master amongst seven tbon.

six thousand rented seats in the Tabernacle

The Tabernacle is an immense structure,
with two Galleries. The Pulpit is even
with the floor Of The first Gallery, circular
in form, with a railing over which the
Preacher inclnes, aud in the Pupit, behind
him, his Deaeons sit. The Choir tvery nu-
merou>) are disposed in front of the Pulpit
on the basement, and behind the Pulpit, in
the first gallery. The congregation unite
with the Choir the Preacher ''lning" the
Hymn, as Parsons in the country did in the
olden time.
