of human nature were born in her,

How TO Know WHETHER 4 Man
BELONGS TO HEAVEN OR Nor.-It
was wont to be trial, whether land
belonged to England or Ireland, by
putting in toads, or snakes, or any
other venomous creature into it;
and if they lived there, it was con
cluded that the land belonged to
England; but if they died, to
Ireland. So, if venomous lusts live
in us, sin reigns in->our mortal bo-
dies, we belong to hell; but if they
die by modification, if there be no
life in them, then shall we be sure
to set up our eternal rest in heaven,
and to be made heirs OF heaven,
and have full possession of those
mansions which Christ, our elder
brother, hath prepared for US.

On Horeb's rock the prophet stood
The Lord before him passed.
A hurricane in angry mood
Swept by him strong and fast;
The forest fell before its force,
The rocks were shivered in its course

Twas but the whirlwind of his breath,

A BARBARoUs PRACUoE.-Whet our civil
authorities are anxious to ape the ceremonies Of
the inquisitoral institution known as a military
commission, or are afflicted with a constitution
al timidity, we are unable to say-but the prac-
tice of keeping irons on prisoners during trial
in open court seems to be Of recent invention
That all necessary precautions should be taken
for the security is right but the spectacle Of a
prisoner on trial in handouts is something new
Even the most desperate characters are permit
ted the free use Of their limbs while in a court Of
justice. An Illustration Of this is given by the
Hartford Tines, in commenting upon some Of
the trials before military commissions Several
years ago two desperate characters were on tri-
al for killing guard in the State Prison. The
Sheriff asked the Judge that be might allow the
handouts to remain on their wrists during tri-
al The Judge replied, "No sir take off their
handouts. No man in chains can be tried in
this court. It would be a violation of the prac-
tice of the civilized world. Take off their hand
cuffs, and call to your aid as many assistants as
you please to insure the safe keeping Of the pris-
oners. But no irons, sir, no irons" And such
has been the practice in all courts SO far as we
have had opportunities Of observation Mari

LACE MADE BY CATERPmIARs.-A most extra
ordinary species Of manufacture has been con-
trlved by an officer. Of engineers, residing at
Munich It consists oflace and wells, and open
patterns in them made entirely by caterpillars.
The following is the mode Of proceeding adopt
ed
Having made paste of the leaves of the plant
on which the species of caterpillar he employs
feeds, he spreads it thinly over a stone or other
fiat substance Of the required size He then,
with a camel-hair pencil dipped in olive oil,
draws the pattern he wishes the insects to leave
open. The stone is then placed in an inclined
position, and a considerable number Of the cat
8rpilars are placed at the bottom. A peculiar
species is chosen, which spins strong web; and
the animal commences at the bottom, eating and
spinning its way up to the top, carefully avoid
iug every part touched BIZ the oil, but devouring
every other part of the paste. The extreme
lightness Of these wells, combined with some
strength, is truly surprising. One Of them,
measuring 274 by II inches, weighed only
grain and a half, a degree of lightness which
will appear more strongly by contrast with 9TH
er fabrics One square yard of the substance Of
which these wells are made, weighed Al grains
while one square yard of silk gauze weighs 1877
grains; and one square yard Of the finest net
weighs 2623 grains.

Men who isolate themselves from society," and
have no near and dear family ties, are the most
uncomfortable Of human beings. Byron says
"Happiness was born atwn;" but the phrase,
though pretty and poetic, does not 60 far enough.
We are gregarious, and not intended TO march
through life either in single or double file. The
man who cares for nobody and for whom no
body cares, has nothing to live for that will pay
for the keeping OF soul and body together. You
must have heap of embers to have glowing
fire. Scatter them apart and they will become
dim and cold So to have brisk, vigorous life
you must have a group of lives, to Keep each
other warm, as it were, to afford each mutual
encouragement and confidence and support. If
you wish to live the life of man and not that
of fungus, be social, be brotherly, be charita-
ble be sympathetic, and labor earnestly for the

How TO MAKE PURE BUTTER.-We present
herewith the views of good butter maker: 81
am very particular about thoroughly scalding
and summing my pans in hot weather; do not fill
them more than half full and skim after the
milk thickens sufficiently, so that the cream
win come off smooth without taking any milk
with it, which, l think, is apt to make curdles
in the butter, and that Injuries the looks Of it,.
Churning should be done every day. if sufficient
cream be obtained. If not the cream in the
pot should be thoroughly stirred whenever any
is added, and ! add little salt, which certainly
is not BAD idea. | design, when / churn, to
have the cream the right temperature, neither
TOO warm nor TOP cold, so to avoid putting
in any warm or cold water until it is thoroughly
freed from buttermilk; salt it to my taste, and
set it in a cool place until the next morning
when work it over again until it presents a
firm and uniform appearance. Last summer l
worked my butter over three times before pack
ing AT the last working add a small guam
tty more Of salt. After packing it smoothly
sprinkle a tablespoonful Of loaf sugar and a lit
tie salt over the top between every layer, and
apply on the top of that cloth pressed closely
TO keep the air from it during the time that must
intervene before Che packing Of the next layer
After the jar or frkin is well filled l put
the cloth on the top and apply another thicker
one, and fll up with salt packed tightly, and
even with the top Of the jar; then lay on anoth-
er cloth to fit the top Of the jar. also put an
other one over the jar and have it come over the
edge and Pas,e it ught 10 the jar, then put on a
board and weight. Or another way: Instead
of putting in salt take melted butter and turn
in on the thin cloth even full, and lastly, apply
salt sprinkled over the top before putting on the
last cloth and weight Then again, | have had
butter keep well after packing thoroughly as
have stated to fill up the top of the jar with
strong brine. ANY one, whether he has "a very
good place to keep butter or not, if he attend to
the strict observance of these rules, can have
good butter and keep it for months, and that
through the hottest weather. American Ag
rculturist.
