Merohantable Tempers.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press tells an amusing
story of Belmont, the New York agent
of tho Rothschilds, an / clerk, who's,
temper seems to have been entirely a
matter of merchandise. It is we'll
known that Mr.. B. is ofa nature high
y irascible, and that, when irritated,
he does not scruple to employ terms
rather vivid than proper-in fne, that
he SwearS occasionally. in a manner CAL
culatod to impress the hearer with Gu.
clerical ideas. On one occasion, so tho
story runs, Mr.. B. engaged a new
clerk, a quiet, dignifed nan, who i'm
mediatoly sdsccooded in exciting his em
ployer's ire, and received largo as.
sOrtmeDt of slight profanities in re.
turn. The clerk bore this quietly for
some few days, but at length, having re-
ceived more than his fair allowance Of
denunciations, he got down from his
stool, closed his books, and declared
that he would no longer submit to this
vituperation. Mr.. B. seemed some
what dumb-foundod by such active re.
bellion; but on recovering from his dis
composure, asked, with faint impre.
caution, how much his offended clerk
would require for the privilege of be-
ing sworn at in his employers desCre-
tion? The answer was, "double my
present salary" "You shall have it,"
cried B., and Immediately opened upon
him fucilade of denunciations- better
to be imagined than described. @

AN INDIAN SroRY.-There is an East
ern story, (Which has its version in
many languages,) of beautiful dam
SCI, to whom genius Of surprising
power desired to give talisman. He
enjoined her to take herself across a
field Of standing corn; she was to pluck
tho tallest and largest ear she could
find, but she was to gather it ss she
went forward, and never pause in her
path, or to stop backward in quest of
her object. In proportion to the size
and ripencss of the ear she gathered,
so would be itsspover as talisman.--
She went out upon her quest, says the
legend, and entered upon the field
Many tall stalk of Surpassing excel
Ionco met her glance, but che still walk
ed onward, expecting always to find
one more excellent still. At last she
reached a portion of the field where the
crops were thinner and the ears more
stuntad. She regretted the tall and
graceful stalks she had left behind, but
disdained to pick those which fell so far
below what her ideas were of perfect
ear. But, alas! the stems grew more
ragged and more scanty as she trod on
ward; on the margin of the field they
were mildewed, and when she had ac-
complished her walk through the wav-
ing grain, she emerged on the other side
without having gathered any car what
ever, The genius rebuked her for her
folly, but we are told that he gave her
an opportunity of retrieving her error.
We may apply this mystic little Indian
fable to the realities of daily life
Young men and yOung aoomen, If you
,couId SUCCEED in life, FORM THE HABIT
OF DOING TIE MOST AND THE BEST
EACH MOMENT.

To SwEETEN RANCID BUTTER
An agriculturist near Brussels, hav
ing succeeded in removing the bad
smell and disagreoabo taste of som @
butter, By beating or mixing it with
chloride Of lime, he was encouraged by
the happy result, to continue his ex.
pormicuts, by trying them upon but
ter so rancid as to be beyond use,
and he has restored to butter tho odor
and taste of which was ursupportable,
all the sweetness Of fresh butter. The
opcrorion ia oxtremely simple and
practicable by all. It consists in
beating the butter in sufficient qnan-
tity of water, into which had been mixed
% to 80 drops of chloride Of lime to 2
pounds Of butter. After having brought
all its parts in contact with the water,
it may be left for an hour or two; af.
forwards Withdrawn AMI wished anew
with fresh water. The chloride Of lime
used having nothing injurious in it,
can safely be increased; but after having
verified the experimental it wasround that
25 to 80 drops to p pounds Of butter
we're sufficient.
