FRESH MAPLE MoLAssEs.-A cores
pondent of Field Notes gives the follow
ing:
Maple molasses well made and put
up in cans right from the kettle. and
hermetically sealed. as you would seal
fruit, will keep as fresh as when first
boiled from the sap, and this is decided.
~ the best plan for keeping. as when
made in cakes. if exposed to the air, it
will lose somewhat Of the peculiarly
delightful favor 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 scale. this need be
but little expense, as cans that have
been emptied through the winter can be
used until autumn fruits demand them
again. Put up your best IN this way.
where large quantities are made for
market, the buyers must select and can

AND ONE PRIVATE KILLED."
Cold words, to tell mothers doting love
That her old age was desolate indeed
That the proud stay of her declining years
Was taken from her at her utmost need.
Brief words-yet It was terrible to feel
The bitter woe their scanty limits held!
Small joy it seemed in that small hour tc

The field was taken and the foe was quelled
Was it for this they sent him forth in pride,
A mothers blessing on his boyish head,
a sisters kisses on his beardless lip
Thus to receive him-voiceless, cold and
deadi
He was their an. perchsnce. they loved him

BE went: and nOw-o breaking heart. be
still
Columbia's blessing on her bravest sons
Hallows the grave his precious form shall
fill.
God bless him. no delusive hopes of gain,
No glittering glory lured his youthful eve;
Loving his country withss boys proud love,
he thought it little for her sake to die.
And 50 be went--snd thus they bear hin
home,
The crimson stain upon his golden hair,
The hush Of death upon the hero heart,
The heart so eager then to do and dare.
And though on earth no trumpet sound hil

How, with his young soul full of holy zeal,
s. Ine brave boy patriot for his country fell.

He is my boy, my only boy;
His father died long years gone by;
And little have known of Joy,
But gazing on his dark blue eye.
'Tis lighted now with higher glow
His country calls him; let him go,
He never greved me: tender, kind,
Stong, loving; full of hope and grace;
Ny life was in his own entwined,
Ny heart but mirrored back his face.
With stern resolves he seeks the foe
His country calls him; let him go.
How often have sat beside
Him sleeping; clustering round his head
Those rich, brown locks, my praise, my pride
And now the earth must be his bed.
'Tis wrong to grieve for this, know,
His country calls him; let him go!
All, IN how many hearts this strife
Is waged in prayer, by prayer is won;
There is the wood, the fire, the knife,
And for the saerifce-our SON.
'Twould kill me if he fell; but, noi
His country calls him; let him gol
For God, who gave our land SO blest,
Would have US guard it-heart and home
Give up their best at such behest;
The gulf was closed in heather Rome
With one young warrior-weal or woe,
His country calls him; let him go!

A RENIEIscEscE OF TIE EARLY DAYS
OF SECESSION. = Col. Forney writes
from Washington to the Philadelphia
Press:
When the news of the Secession OF
south Carolina reached Washington
City, II was greeted with delirious JOY
by brilliant evening parry assembled
at the residence of Jefferson Davis. A
distinguished officer Of the navy, who
had been in the habit of visiting Sena-
tor Davis and his lady, dropped in
during the evening, and was informed
of the event which had excited so much
qualification. And when he manifested
no pleasure at the announcement, he
was informed by Davis that there was
no time for delay, and that If he accept
ed service in the rebel ranks be would.
in the course of time, be made an Ad-
miral. "Stick to me, my FRIEND" said
Davis to the gallant seaman, "and
will make your fortune. In a short
time all the Cotton States will be out
Of the Union, and these will be follow
ed by the border States, thus constitut-
ing great independent and -four ish.
ing Empire" Finding him obdurate
to such appeals. one fthe ladies of the
coterie approached him. "Why." she
asked, "should you falter now? Why
not take the advice of Gen. Davis?-
The Secession Of South Carlina is but
the beginning Of a revolution long pre-
pared for. We have everything ar.
ranged. Not only will the Southern
States be ours. but in a short period
We will establish in that region g
mighty monarchy, and with the aid o.
foreign powers. and our own bravery
and inexhaustable resources. will take
possession Of Central America and
Mexico, buy or take Cuba from Spain
and add to our dominions such of the
West India islands as we desire. Give
up your reverence for the mere symbol
of flag. Take sides with US against
the vulgar Northern hords, and SC
accomplish the future that is in store
for you:" As he left the house indig.
nant at these bold declarations Of those
who had been fostered and protected
by the Government, the lady politician
entered her carriage, to convey the
thrilling intelligence of the treason ol
South Carolina to the friend and ally
of the Seeessionists, James Buchanan.

A SMOKE HousE-Every farmer

A SMOKE HoUsE-Every farmer
needs two things an ash house and a
smoke house. These may be united in
one, and a most e1cellant plan for this
l have recently seen in an agricultural
paper. The lower part should be built
of brick or stone, from six to ten feet
square, and high enough to stand up
right in. Joists should then be laid
from two to three inches apart, and
the smoke house erected on this wall.
It may be either a continuation of brick
or stone, or frame, and made as high
as the farmer requires.
The lower part is used for storing
away the ashes, and the fire to make
smoke is also put there. The door in
to it should be made fire proof by a
covering of sheet iron. A door should
be made into the upper part, and ac-
cess to it by movable steps or a lad
der. The advantages Of this combins-
ton are, that if piece Of meat should
fall it cannot endanger the rest, be-
cause it must lodge on the joists. The
lower door may always be left open,
and the meat cannot be stolen. Access
to the upper door can be cut of by re-
moving the steps or ladder.

GREAT MEN ALWAYS KNOW EACH
OTHER
EFnm Harper,s Macnrine.l

From Harper's Magazlne
When Mr.. Clay visited Hopkinsville,
Kentucky, the first year OF the admins
tratiOn Of John Quincy Adams, to de-
fend himself against the charge OF
''bargain. intrigue and corruption" he
was called upon by his friends at a
large and spacious saloon. DR.. H,
then of that place. and great friend
Of Mr.. Clay, was By his side present
ing him to the numerous friends as
they came forward. Presently the
Doctor saw the tall form of the eccen-
trio Gov. Pittsur enter the door Of the
saloon. Instantly he embraced the
opportunity to point him out to Mr..
Clay, and then whispered to him that
that tall man at the door sis Governor
Pittsur, OF Pond River, a most worthy
friend of yours. whom you must know
without an introduction; aud you must
be certain. before he leaves, TO wish
that he may never have another inva-
sion of squirrels. Thus posted, Mr..
Clay stood his ground, in the center Of
the saloon. while the Governor. un-
conscious of the innocent trick, ap-
preached him by degrees, saying as he
came.
Don't introduce me to Mr.. Clay;
he will know me and / shall him; for
great men know each other on sight" +"
The Governor looked everywhere
but in the right place, and asked as he
passed on:
"Where is the god like mani" and
saying. 81 shall know him on sight; for
great men like us never fail to know
each other. l beg OF you gentlemen
not to introduce us; re will know each
other. though we have never seen each
other. You say he is in this room
good. ! shall 6rd himl" Away he
stalked toward the place where Mr..
Clay stood.
Presently he drew himself up to his
loftiest height upon beholding Mr..
Clay. and eyed him for some time in
unutterable admiration. Mr.. Clay step
ped forward with his blandest smile
and sweetest voice. and exclaimed:
"How are you. Gov. Pittsur, of Pond
Rivert l am rejoiced to see you"
"Hear thstl' said the Governor,
"didn't l tell you that he would know
me, and that Pittsur would know him?
Yes, yes, gentlemen, he is the greatest
man that lives"
After cordially shaking hands. and
telling a few happy jokes, Mr.. Clay
said:
"My dear Governor. l wish that
you may live thousand years, that
health may abound throughout your
wide domain, and that you may never
have another invasion Of squirrels"
"Bless me-" said the Governor,
"did you hear that! How did he
know that my people lost their entire
crop of corn by squirrels? Bless my
soul he knows everything! l always
told you that he was the greatest man
in the world-didnt I boysi"
And the Governor left in perfect ad-
miration Of the statesman.

KINDNESS TO MILcH Cows.-One of
the greatest errors in overcoming cows
that are unquiet while being MIXED,
is to whip. beat. kick, and bawl at
them. This is generally done. and the
COW becomes afraid and angry, and in
stead Of becoming better grows worse.
Mich cows cannot be whipped or terri
fed into standing quietly, gently, and
patiently during milking. They dis
like to be MIXED, for they know that
loud words and hard blows always at
tend the operation. They dread to see
the mixer, as the little urchin breads
to see the birchen rod in the hand of an
angry pedagogue, when he expects to
have it applied TO his back. A COW.
kindly and properly treated. is pleased
to see the mixer, gladly awaits his or
her approach, and submits with pleas
ure to the operation of being MIXED
Every one having experience with cows
knows this to be true.

THE ABSENT.

Where have the loved ones gone,
That used our hearts to gTeetf
We see their place but not their form,
And here's their vacant seat.
What joys celestial used TO rise,
When we were all at home,
But some have passed into the skies,
And others foreign roam.
'Tis sweet to think Of ehildhood,s home.
And friendships social ring,
But ahl tbs broke-the loved are gone
That homes an idle thing.
That home that once was ali our pride,
Ere those We loved had strayad,
Where all our youth and infant DAYS
Together we had played.
Now some are on the dark blue sea,
Where naught bat the pillows roar,
And others seek for earthly fame
On some far distant shore;
And some have passed to the heavens Of love
Their absence we deplore;
But they have gained home above
Wen sigh for them no more.
Could we but think that all was blest
As those that's gone above,
Wed fill their vacant seats anew,
And try new forms 10 love;
But oh. the forms that from us roam
On distant shores, as waves,
No one can take that kindred place
Til they are in their graves.
But obi the homes SO lately robbed
| OF loved ones true and brave,
Who left their homes as volunteers,
But found warriors grave;
| So short the time since they were one,
That numbered in homes band,
And now they fill a grave unknown,
Far in strangers land.
| Though absent from their homes and friends,
When death its summons gave,
The one that sent the messenger
Could light q foreign grave;
For to be absent from our friends,
And present with the Lord,
Is richer far than battles gained,
And greater the reward.
