Of course this state of affairs is a great
hindrance to marriage. A man alone can
subsist comfortably, and the temptation to
remain single is reluctantly overcome, when
by marrying he is certain to deprive him
self of food absolutely necessary to health.
The farm-laborer, apart from family, Is
adequately fed, long lived, and little trou-
bled with sickness. When he takes his
meals at the farmhouse, his risk in the
way of diet is from over-feeding. He has
usually four meals day-meat and bacon
twice, and even three times a day; milk
twice day; puddings or pies three times
day in Devon, and usually daily elsewhere !;
beer also or cider. La Yorkshire he Is
found to get cheese cakes and custards
almost daily at breakfast and dinner or
even to take an hour nap after dinner:
He objects to mutton because it is fat, and
throws the fat under the table. Living in
this sumptuous manner, he will put off as far
as possible the evil day which shall bring
him poverty and starvation. Continent
uron this state of society is needless, but 1t
is with gratitude that we compare the hap
piness of our own working people with that
of the English poor. The emigrants bound
for America even in these troublOus times,
may well be regarded as both wise and pru-
dent-tScje3tifc american.

may be converted iuto butter BY simply

cream is placed 10 linen bag Of mod.
crate thickness, which ia carefully secus.

about foot and half deep; il 10 then
covered and left for CATO rs hours. When
taken out, the cream is very hard, aud
only requires beating for . short time
with wooden malet, after which half .
glass Of water is thrown upon it, which
causes the butter.milk to separate from
the butter. If the quantity of cream to

In the autumn Of 1857 | spent few

Sunday morning, at breakfast, the pas
tors wife received a letter, which her
tittering told US must be tit bit. 'Ha,

there had lately come into the next par
ish a new vicar-a very 6ns young man,
who at school had no superior either in
Greek or in boxing, and who at the uni.
versity won honors for his classics and
his silver cups for his boating. He was
beginning in earnest the work of an
evangelist among long neglected, vi
cious and brutal people. He had plan,
and will, but many worthy folk we're
fearing that his zeal was without knowl-
cdge-or wisdom, at any rate. Ooe Of
his first measures was to open school
in remote part of the parish, and get
the room licensed for weekday preaching.
But all the drunkards arose against such
unheard of proceedings They would
run after him, cursing and hooting, and
dischargiug volleys Of sods and other
missiles. Finding remonstrance vain,

it; aud III do it if in your own way

They looked at him unbelievingly; but,
throwing his coat on bush, he added
Il am in earnest; send your man. The
rufians laid their heads together; and
then bury giant stepped forth and
stripped, aud made furious dash at his
reverend challenger, who quietly parried
the unskilful blows and played with them
for few seconds. But, then, fist was
planted in the peasants chest, and he lay
at full length on the ground. Quickly
gathering himself up, however, he skulk
