This juice Of the sorghum is not 50

grape sugar But it will crystalize If
the evaporation has been well done
il il has been rapidly boiled and the
syrup has been brought to the requir-

make the credulous lover of home

patents compass all possibilities-tha
the syrup can be transformed without

barrels of genuine sugar. They for

There are plenty of men who aver
that sugar can be prcftabIy produced

it, especially for use in cooking. The
bakers have learned its value com.

QUARRELING.-If anything in the
world will make n man feel badly, ex-
cept pinching his fingers in the crack
Of u door, it is, unqucstio2ably, a quar-
rel. No man ever fails to thinks less
of himself after than before. 1t de-
grades him in the eyes ofothers, and,
what is worse, it blunts his sensibili-
ties on the one hand, ana increases
thopower of passionate irritability on
the other. The truth is. the more
poacoably and quietly we get on, the
better for our neighbors. In nine cases
out of ten, the better course is, ifa man
cheats you, quit dealing with him; if
he is abusive, quit his company ; and
he ISLANDERS you, take care to live so
that nobody will believe him. No
matter who he is, or how he misuses
you, the wisest way is to lot him alone;
for there is nothing better than this
cool, calm, and quiet way of dealing
with the wrongs we meet.

1t is n wonderous advantage to q
man in every pursuit and avocation, to
secure an adviser in a sensible woman.
In woman there is at once sublime
delicacy of fact and plainness Of judg-
ment which are rarely combined to an
equal degree in the man. A woman,
if she be really your friend, will have
sensible regard tor your character,
honor, repute. She will seldom coun-
sci you to do a shabby thing, for a wo
man friend, always desires to be proud
of You. At the same time Ter consti
tutional timidity makes her more eau
tious than your male friend. She there
fore seldom couGscls you TO do an i'm
prudent thing. By lcmale friendship,
We mean those in which thereis no ad
