BUTTER.-The secret of making good
butter is cleanliness and thoroughness,
and the time for the most profitable
exercise of the. art Of butter-making is
june The grass is abundant, the cows
in full milk, the weather favorable. -
The milk should not be kept too cool, !,
through this is rarely fault in dairies.
1t is enough If it be kept as cool Dis 6Oo.
Fahrenheit, though $50 is not too cool.
Cream will rise at about this tempera-
ture better than amy other, and the
same is best, at which to churn., & Milk
should stand where the air is sweet and
fresh; odors from the kitchen or from
the stable, or odors of any kind, indeed,
except that of fresh air, should be care
fully excluded. Stone, floors are desi-
'rable, for these can be kept constantly
moist and SO much cooler than others,
and the air ought to Circulate freely
over and99under the pans. Shallow
pans are better than deep ones Work
out the buttermilk without touching the
hands to the butter, using as little water
as possible. or none at ali. If the but
termilk is all out, and with it all the
milk, sugar and cheesy portions of the
milk, butter will keep with very little
salt. The more imperfect the working,
the more salt is required. In keeping
cream several days, put it where the
temperature will be uniform and cool,
and stir well if more added. Ifg8 3.

Some of the eloyalD judges during
the late war, and some since, appeared
anxious to emulate the example. and
share the infamy of Jeffreys, the able
and celebrated English judicial ruffian.
Itis we'll to recall the fate of that unsa-
worry individual. Jeffreys was coarse,
brutal tyrant who delighted in blood
shed, but he was sound lawyer, and
too able to be laughed at, Like ali ju-
dicial rufians, Jeffreys' end was mis-
cradle one. Gods curse is upon all
such creatures, and there is no instance
OF Nemesis having oyerlookcd corrupt
and merciless judge. When James the
Second fed, after the ruin of his cause,
Jefreys also became a fugitive As he
was the most odious of all the parasites
and tools of the fallen monarch, all of
his associates in crime marked him for
the atoning scape-goat. Of all the ha-
ted members of the defeated party, the
mob was most anxious for the blood of
Jefreys; for, in all nature, there is
nothing so abhorred as a wicked and
corrupt judge, Everybody clamored
for the immediate execution of Jeffreys.
Frightened out of his wits by the yells
of the populace, the infamous Lord
Chancellor disguised and hid himself at
a small house at Mapping, hoping to
escape beyond the sea. He shaved off
those savage. eyebrows, which made his
aspect SO hideous, and put on the dress
ola sailor. Thus disguised, he visited
an ale-house. While there, in his sail
ing accoutrements, he was recognized
by an unfortunate scrivener, who had
been the victim of Jeffreys' brutality,
in his day of lawless power. The man
had not forgotten the terror of the ruff.
fans countenance, and proclaimed his
presence. The infuriated mob rushed
in. That the fugitive was not at once
torn to pieces, limb by limb, must be as
crlbed to kind Providence, which in,
terfered to give him a few months res.
pite. He was. with great difficulty res
cued from the mob, who had torn his
clothes and pummeled him terribly. In
the presence of the mob, the brazen iu-
dlclal buily became a most arrant cow
ard, and begged for his life like dog.
He was removed to the Tower under a
strong guard, the mob following him
like furnished wolves greedy for his
blood, and exhibiting hundreds Of whips
and halters to his Mortified eyes. The
poor wretch did nothing but cry out pi-
teously to the guard, ssFor the Lords
sake keep them off, When lodged in
the Tower, three thousand widows and
orphans, whose husbands and fathers
Jefreys had caused to be hanged and
quartered, petitioned for his execution.
Jefreys lived few weeks and then died
in the Tower, raving furiously like a
wild beast. He never recovered, it is
said, from the terror and personal yio-
lence ofthe mob. He was but forty-one
years Of age at the time of his death,
and was9a person of extraordinary tai

HOW Jack Became a Demo
r. 81 saH aflW Hcraf. Ok ~ $50

/ Jaek was red-hot ab6li.ionist, and
his chief pleasure seemed in making the
fact as notorious as possible. His
friends and associates, with one consent,
pronounced Jack a. bore and a nuisance
ae One day, Jack met at the house of a
friend a young lady of great personal
beauty and accomplishments. Attract
ed by her loyeliness, and captivated by
her intelligence, he became assiduous in
his attentions, forgot for while his
''principles," and without inquiring
what might have been the political pref
erence of his lady-love, imprudcntly
proposed, was accepted, and they were
married.
The wedding was over, the guests had
departed, and the happy pair had re-
tired to their chamber, and were snugly
ensconced in bed, when Jack, in the
course of a quiet conversation with his
wife, unwittingly alluded to his favorite
subject, by casually speaking Of himself
as Republican.
ssi "What?" exclaimed his wife, turning
sharply and suddenly toward him, care
you Republican," 2"
"Yes,' y replied Jack, II am regular
out-and outer, double dyed and twisted
in the wool" &
g 'sJust double and twist yourself out
of this bed, then" interrupted his wife;
II am a Democrat, | am; [ will never
sleep with man protesting the doc
trines you do"
Jack was rather speechless from a.
mazemenc. That the very wife Of his
bosom should provea traitor was horri-
BILE; she must be jesting. He remon-
strated, but in vain; tried persuasion,
twas no go; she was in earnest, and
the only alternative left him was a
prompt remuneration of his heresy, or a
separate bed in the other room.
Jack did not hesitate. To abjure the
established doctrines which had grown
with his growth and strengthened with
his strength, to the mere whim and ca
price of Woman, was ridiculous and
absurd, and, throwing himself from the
bed, he quit the apartment. s
I.u the morning she me. him as if
nothing had happened; but whenever
Jack ventured to allude to the night
previous, there was a llughter-imp in
her eye, which bespoke her power and
extinguishcd hope.
A second time he repaired to his
lonely couch, and second time called
on his pride tosupport him in the strug-
gle, which he now found was getting
desperate.
The second day was a repetition of
the first. No allusion was made to the
subject on either side. There was a
quiet happiness and cheerfulness about
his wife that puzzled Jack sorely, and
he felt all idea of forcing her to surrcn-
der must be abandoned.
The third night he was alone His
reflections were yet more serious than
the previous nights; what they were,
of course, was only known to himself,
but they seemed to result in something
decided; for at about midnight three
distinct raps were made at his wife's
door. No answer. The signal was re-
peated in a louder tone; still all was ST.
lent. A third time the door shook with
the violent attacks. -. -
sWho's there 2" cried the voice of
his wife, as if aroused from a deep sleep.
