Hear, now, the Courier, of that period
on the proposition thus made to leave the
matter to the people: ....
L" If the advocates of slavery are as strong
e ia Kentucky as they say they are they
can make no objection to the proposition,
"and their refusal to support such..a propo-
- sition would be conclusive evidence that
they have less confidence in the popularity
" of their cause than their words would in
dicate. Now, gentlemen, toe the mark
. and face the mnsic-are you willing to let
" the people of Kentucky express themselves
cat the polls on the question of slavery
&c If the people say it shall be perpetuated,
"therc is an end of the controversy. Now,
/" let those who pretend that they have the
" ror populi with them show their hands"

That was the Louisville Cou'ie, Of the
olden time, the paper which, with the man
it championed, plunged headlong afterwards
in the morass of anarchy and revolution, as
the miserable dupes and sycophants of South
Carolina and the rest Of the Cotton Oil
garchy. And when John C. Breckenridge is
held up here as an exemplar when his fol-
lowers here seek to condemn the Federal
Executive for merely proposing to leave
question to their own decision of vast public
importance, question that thunders every
day more cloudy at every door in the land

loyal man point them to the record to see

NGnaR'S Love.

Wien man is waxing frail,
And his hand is thin and weak,
And his lips arc parched and pale.
And white and wan his check
Oh. then doth woman prove
Her constancy and love.
Until the hour when death
His lamp Of life doth dim,
She never wcarictb,
She never lcaveth him
Still near him night and day.
She meets his eye alway.
Aud when his trial is DER,
And the turf ia on his breast,
Deep in her bosom's core
Lie sorrow $ uncxpressed,
Her tears, her sighs are weak
Her settled grief to speak.
And there may arise
Balm for her spirits pain,
And though her quiet eyes
May sometimes smile again,
Still, she must regret,
She never can forget.

A Spring Morning.

1t is a joyous morning:
The western gale blows free,
And rolls the light clouds eastw ard
Like pillows of the sea.
OFT bursts the silver sunshine
On woodland, vale and hill,
But neither shade nor sunshine
Stands for u morning still.
For now.thc hills afe silyercd,
The valleys dark with shade;
Then rush the shadows upward,
And light is in the glade.
Their dry and leahess branches
The trees about them fling
They seem to feel within them
The beating pulse of spring.
The black rocks, cawing ever
Are wheeling in the skies;
The blackbir to the throstle
In merry note replies.
Among the woods, the squirrel
Leaps glad from tree to tree;
And all the.gusling waters
Sing songs Of liberty.
There is sense Of gladness,
a thrill of Joy and mirth
That runs through all nature,
Through water, sky, and earth.
Then forth into the sunshine.
Ye Sons Of toll and care
And We shall own that natuIc
Is mighty to repair.

THE NEW POSTAGE STAMP CUR
RENCY.

The designs for the postage stamps to be
used as currency were adopted on Wednes-
day last, and are now in the hands of the
engraver. They are to be of four denomi-
nations: namely, FIVE, ten, twenty-five, and
fifty cents.
They will be printed on the same paper
that the Treasury notes are printed on, and
will be ready for delivery in ten or twelve
days.
The fVe-cent will be two and fve-eighths
inchs long and one inch and three-quarters
wide-color, brown. On the upper corners
will be the denomination, in white figures
on dark ground. In the center, occupy
ing the position of vignette, will be the
ive-cent postage stamp, with the figure
"5," in geometrical lathe work on each
side.
The twenty -fves will be the same as the
above, except that the vignette will be FIVE
fve-cent stamps overlapping each other,
and the bill be three inches long.
The ten-cent will be the same length and
breadth as the five; color, green. The ten
cent stamp will form the vignette, with 40"
on each side, the same as on the tive-cent
bill; and in all other respects it will be the
same.
The fifties will be more in conformity
with the tens, and the vignette will be FIVE
ten cent stamps overlapping.
Over the designs. as above described, will
be the words, postage stamps furnished
by the Assistant Treasurers and designated
Deposiaries of the United States;" and un-
der them, Receivable for postage stamps
at any Post Office" In the middle of the
lower part of the notes will be ''U. S." in
large letters. Large fgures-in lathe work
denoting the denomination will be in the
center of the back Of each ''stamp" or
mote" surrounded by the words, eek
changeable for United States notes by any
Assistant Treasurer or designated United
States Depository, in sums not less than
five dollars. Receivable in payment of all
dues to the United States less than five dol
lars. Act approved July II, 1862"
The notes will be executed in the highest
style Of the art, and every possible precau-
ton will be taken to prevent counterfeiting.

FARMERS DEPARTMENT.
Managing Milk, Making Butter, sc.

First, consider it absolutely necessary
to butter making to have cool, airy milk
room, and that The milk vessels be thor
cugbly cleansed, first in cold water, next IN
hot, after which to be scalded and summed.
| use shallow lin pans, and set the milk a
little less than two inches in depth. My
experience is, more cream can be had from
tue same amount of milk by raising the pans
from the shelf, allowing free circulation of
air around the milk; two strips Of wood, of
uniform thickness, about six inches in
length, to each pan, will answer the pur
pose.
AS soon as the milk tbickens, remove
the cream into an earthen pan, keeping it
uncovered, and always stir gently after add
ing fresh cream; churn twice week, and
never allow any water to get nearer the but
ter than stone churn, during the process
Of churning l take the butter from the
churn with ladle, and salt to taste; let it
stand twenty -four hours, and then work by
taking about one pound at a time. This is
more convenient, and can be worked much
dryer than by working the whole mass at
once. If for packing, l add one tablespoon
full of crushed sugar, and as much saltpeler
as will lie on three cent piece, to three
longer, and work again, making it into small
rolls, and keep it in brine made in the fol-
lowing manner: Take rain water and as
much rock salt as can possibly be made to
dissolve by heating, adding one teaspoonful
of saltpeter to each gallon of brine. Strain
through flannel when cold.
Butter keeps sweeter for me without
washing, besides being decidedly better in
1avor-in my opinion. Of course. it must
be properly worked; but should there be a
few particles of buttermilk allowed 10 re-
main, the quality of the butter will not be
injured as much as by the same amount of
water.
pack butter in large stone jars, using
for weight a common dinner plate and a
piece of marble. am not in favor of wood
en- vessels for milk and for butter making.
I suppose we shall be obliged to use wood
en- churn dash, butter bowl, and Iadle, until
some inventive genius takes it into his head
to get up something of different material.
In winter, l heat the milk slightly; if
allowed to scald, the butter will be oily.
l have eaten some poor butter in my day
some too fresh, but more too salt. If
there is anything particularly horrible to my
nerves, it is using my "molars' for salt
mill. If people who furnish hotels and
boarding houses with butter would use fine
salt, and less of it, they would confer an
ever to-be-remembered favor upon portion
of community, at least.-BesSie Ladle, IN

To DESTROY House FL1Es.-It is perhaps
not generally known that black pepper (not
red) is poison for many insects. The fol-
lowing simple mixture is said to be the best
destroyer of the common house fly extant:
Take equal proportions of fine black pepper,
fresh ground, and sugar. say enough of
each to cover ten-cent piece; moisten and
mix well with a spoonful of milk "a little
cream is better); keep that in your room,
and you will keep down the flies. One ad-
vantage over other poisous is, that it Injuries
nothing else; and another, that the flies
seek the air, and never die in the house
the windows being open.

Value of Shelter for Sheep.

VIM. II. Ladd, one of the best farmers in
the State Of Ohio, who has given especial
attention to sheep, gives the following care
full estimate, in the Ohio Farmer, of the
value of shelter to sheep. suggested by the
remark of neighbor. that est won't pay to
build shelter for sheep" This neighbor
kept 200 head, and lost many animals;
and it is from his losses that part of this
estimate is made:
''Let me make some very low estimates in
reference to the loss occasoned by this
treatment in thirty years. First, if the sheep
sheared two pounds Of wool per head under
this treatment, they would have SHARED
three pounds had they received good care.
Second, one pound difference per head on
1000 sheep makes 1000 pounds; 1000
pounds in 80 years, at 40 cents per pound,
$4,000. 1t is very low estimate, count
ing sheep at the lowest common price, that
flock of 1000 sheep should yield $500
worth of surplus stock to sell each year;
this, in 80 years, amounts to $4,000.
Feed saved by shelter, say $500 each year,
worth, in 80 years, $4,000; simple interest
at per cent. on amount saved in 80 years,
$50, $50; difference Of the value of stock on
hand at the end Of 80 years, 81 900; value
of shelter to the owner at the close of 80
years, 81 900; amount saved. $65, 900;
Per contra-shelters cost say IS, 900; ad-
ditional grain fed, say $500 each year, in
30 years Sl2, 900; interest as above, &c.,
$50; for keeping shelters in repair 81 900
total, $50, $50. Difference in favor of
shelters and good care, $33, 13O. Don't
look at this as fancy sketch; it is a reali-
ty, and the only incorrectness about it is,
that the estimated difference in favor Of good
keeping is in every particular below the re-
atty.

have been the appearances, hostile to any
one. The new Union would be military
and aggressory above everything, which
might aid some, but would injure others;
the first liberal and pacific. the other with
out the spirit of progress and without any
other means Of assimilation but that OF war
and conquest.
THE ENFRANCHIsEMENT OF THE SLAVES.
Such would, we believe, be the results to
spring from the triumph of the South, if that
triumph was destined to be accomplished
But if, on the contrary, the struggle between
the two parties now in arms should be pro-
longed, if the solution Of their great debate
should vet be delayed, evils of another kind
may possibly arise. Driven by the passions
an the necessities of the strife, the federal
government might decree the immedia
abolition Of slavery, and may even be drv-
en- to the employment of a terrible means of
war in arousng the slaves against their mas
tiers. But that measure, besides that there
would be in it something of the violent and
the barbarous, could not benefit those who
would make use of it; it would produce
alarming schisms in the bosom of the North
ern States far more profitable than injurious
to the cause Of secession.
FINAL GOOD WISH FOR AMERICA.
1t is necessary to add that, in that future
WIN ich we have just been looking at, no one
can know how to respond to the wishes of
the friends of liberty and of American
greatness? From the Southern coast, en-
tirely blockaded as it has been; from the
course of the Mississippi, once more IN the
power of the federal navy-they wished for
the triumph Of the army of the Potomac be
fore Richmond, because it would have ia
cilitated a complete agreement on the basis
of he old Unian. This triumph failed to
be accomplished through causes that we
have seen; and reconciliation, however de-
sirabe and possible then, seems very diff
cult now. | am not among these who will
therefore conclude that the federal cause is
lost one. Compared to those of the South,
the resources of the North are far from be =
ing exhausted. And who knows all that
can be done in the day of peril by the ener-
gy of free people fighting for right and for
humanity?
