Butter,iat the old Price.

The knickerbocker Monthly is responsis
BILE for the following good story:
Somewhere in Connecticut there is O
family by the name of Barsfow, who were
never noted for cleanliness. % the cenS
tTary, the name was proverbial for filth
| nesa. They we're farmers, and Mrs. Bar
stow was engaged IN the dairy business
Each week she posted to o village near by
and disposed Of her butter to Squire Wal.
ker, who dealt in country produce and grol
ceries. Ere long she learned that che did
not get but half as much for her butter as
her neiEhbors were receiving, and this
aroused her unusually quiet temper, and
she determined so demand an explanation
of Squire Walker the next time she went
to market. So the following week, with
her regular amount of butter, she presen-
ted herself at the grocer's counter and
eaid:
Squire Walker, what are you paying
for butter to-day?'
He opened her box. and after careful
survey Of its contents. replied:
Twelve and half cents
Twelve and half cents,' she repeated
How is it that you pay Mrs Perkins twen-
ty.tive cents pound, aud only allow me
nine peDce-and this you have done all
alongP
'We!l.' says the Squire, coIoring up and
hesitatiug % each word, the fact is, Mrs.
Barstow, your butter is not 80 clean as
hers. and fOd it hard work to get rid of
it at any price even, when people know
who made it,
oh if that is all that is required she
replied, with confident air, L will show
them that | can make as good butter and
as clean as anybody.
Mrs. Barstow. all excited hurried homo.
notwithstanding the oppressive beat of the
afternoon, and seizing the milk strainer
and wiping the perspiration from her face,
exclaimed to her daughter
Betsy Ann. Squire Walker bad the
impuden &c to tell me my butter was not 80
clean as Nancy Perkins, and now mean
to show him that can make as clean but
ter as she.
'Du tell think should try, mother,
replied Betsy Ann, mpatbetically.
Mrs. Barstow commenced skimming her
| milk and pouring the cream into her tall,
old fashioned churn. 1t was all in but
the last pan, when mounted upon a stool,
she was reaching after that; but unfnrtu-
nately, she slipped. aud one of her dirty
feet went down into the churn, until It
brought up on the bottom, scattering the
contents 10 every direction. Extricatiug
herself as soop as possible, she commenced
scraping the cream from her limb and
throwing it back INTO the churn, aud -e-
marked, in low, deliberate tone, to her
daughter, who was laughing in very
unbecomiug manner at her pareuts miss
| hap:
well, Betsy Ann. guess my butter
will have to 90 at the old price once more. ,

BY MRS. HrMLSs.

The bud il IN the bough,
And the leaf is 10 tile bud,
And Earth beginning now
In her.veiBs to feel the blood,
Which warmed by Summers sun,
In the AiemBic Of the vine. =
Prom her iounts will overrun,
In rudy gush of wine.
The perfume and the bloom
That shall decorate the flower,
Are quickening in the gloom
Of their subterrsnean bower;
And the Justice meant to feed
Trees, vegetables, fruits,
Unerringly proceed
To their preappointed roots.
How awful Is the thought
OF the wonder under ground;
Ofthe mystic changes wrought
In the silent, dark profound;
How each thing upwards tends
By necessity decreed,
And worlds support depends 81
On The shooting Of seedi
The summers In her ark,
And this sunny pinioned day
Is commission ed to remark
Whether winter holds her sway;
Go back thou dove Cfpeaes.
With the myrtle on thv wings,
Say that floods and tempests cease,
And the world is ripe Of spiinsl
Thou hast famed the sleeping earth
Till her dreams are all flowers.
And the waters look in mirth'
For the oyer-haDging bowers
The forest seems to listen
AZ the trees begin 10 glisteA
In the rustic of their leaves,
In the hope OF summer ewes.
The vivifying spell
Has been felt beneath the wave,
By the dormOuse in its cell.
And the mole within the cave;
And the summer tribes that creep
Or IN the air expand their wings,
Have started in their sleep
At the summons of Spring.
The cattle lift their voices
From the valleys and the hiIls,-
And the frathered race rejOicss
With a gush of tuneful bills
And il this clUudless arch
Filled the poets song with glsS
Oh, thou sunny month Of March.

renewed, and she was found quite early, hav.

perpetual harvest lor.lhe hand OF man. Sure
ly that country must be the garden'of the
world, and if its people had the enterprise
which moves this Yankee nation, Imagination
could not set bound to tho results they
would produce there. As releyan! to this

tina: the best Remedies employed there for
