PUTTING DOWN BUTTER.

There is no peculiar art or mystery abou;
putting down butter for winter use so thatit
viii keep sweet, sound and good very long
time. 1t only needs proper rece p.able, to
know how, and scrupulous cleanliness and
all who make butter may easily enough have
prime article either for sale, or for winter
use, with very little trouble, and no extra
expense.
The last time we went round Cape Horn
we bought in Baltimore few days before
sailing two tubs of ordinary Western butter
for cabin stores. 1t was cheap Ohio butter,
but happening to have been made right and
properly put down, it was capital butter all
the voyage-outward bound, through the
tropics, roun the Horn, down through the
tropics again in the Pacific to Guayaquil,
two months in that oven, almost under the
Equator; then homeward bound, through
the trol ical heat in two oceans, and at last
at the end of year ndten days the bottom
layer of the last tub came out for service Gu
the day we made the Delaware Capes, as
sweet, fresh and sound as it was when we
went to sea outward bound.
That butter had been correctly made and
put down In sweet, new red oak tubs, hold
ing about eighty pounds each, in this man
ner: The bottom Of the tub covered with
fine, clean salt, half an inch thick Then a
solid layer of butter about inches thick
then half an inch of salt again, and so alter
nately, salt and butterand salt, solid,
to within two inches of the top of the tub,
that space being filed with strong brine, and
the head put in tight During the entire
voyage care was taken to keep the butter
covered with brine andwhatever was taken
out for use was simply rinsed of in sea
water.
A great deal of the celebrated Orange
county or Goshen butter is not nearly up to
its reputation on account of being packed in
Que solid mass from bottom to top, or in lay
ers of from three to five inches in thickness,
without any salt strata between, or being
covered with pickle. Butter put down in
that manner win not keep good very long
with all the Goshen reputation ever got up
to back it.
Of all the woods used for butter tuba OF
kegs, the red beech, common in several of
the northern counties of Pennsylvania and
In many parts of New York, is the best
Then well seasoned red oak, then white elm,
then white ash. After these, all our woods
are more or less bad for butter, and ought
never to be used. OF course the very best
receptacle to put down butter In for long
keeping is strong well glazed stone jar,
with aclose-ftting cover But asiush vessels
are too fragile for the hard knocks Of trans
portation, they are only suitable for home
use. Beech, red oak or ashought to be used
wherever rough handling is the rule.

How to Keep Milk sweet.

Large quantities of milk are sent once a
day from Orange county to New York city.
Notwithstanding it Is sent by railroad, a
portion of the milk is thirty-six hours old
when it arrives in New-York and is ready
for the milk carts. To keep milk sweet this
length of time in warm weather is no easy
matter. The management on the part of
farmers is described as follows by the Utica
Herald: - -
"The milk as soon as it comes from the
COW is strained and put in long tin pals,
which are set in water, care being taken that
no portion of the milk be higher than the
water. These pals look like sections of
stove pipe, being eight inches in diameter,
and from seventeen to twenty inches long.
The milk is occasionally stirred up SO as to
keep the cream from rising. 1t is deemed
important :hat the animal hea. be removed
as soon as may be, at least in an hours time
after it comes from the COW. The old plan,
which is yet practiced by some, is to cool
the milk in the cans, but is regarded as
very unsafe way when it is designed to have
the milk keep sweet for considerable length
of time. The milk stands in the pals until
ready to be carted to the trains, when it is
put in cans holding from fifty to sixty gal,
tons, These cans are filed full, and the
cover, which fits closely, carefully adjusted"

Terrible Retributfon.

An incident occurred day or two since
which should admonish a certain class OF
men, first, not to insist for a pound Of flesh
merely because they have the power, and
secondly, not to drink dirty water. The
story, which borders on the tragic, runs thus:
A drayman carried small box from the
ievce up to well-known drug store in the
city He took it from his dray, deposited it
IN the back room, and then made his charge.
1t was very exorbitant. The clerk limited as
much, but he stood firm and gained his
point. The money was paid him, and he
started out.
Passing through the laboratory, lie looked
around after some water, as it was hot day,
and he was evidently thirsty. Just in his
way stood large tub, wherein the boy
washed out bottles; he glanced around; no
one seemed to be looking be seized half
gallon cup and gulped down about pint.
The clerk observed the movement. As he
mused upon the heavy charge a sudden
thought occurred to him, which he sudden
ly put into execution. The drayman had
mounted his dray and was driving of, when
the clerk bounded from the door and shout
ed at him to stop.
"Did you drink any of that water in the
tub2" he shouted, and then waited for an an
swer with abated breath.
The drayman said, "Y.e-s, he had drank a
little"
MY dear sir, you are dead man we use
that water for washing acids from bottles.
Oh, you are dead man, sure!"
The drayman turned pale, and said he felt
dreadful pain in his stomach.
DO something for me quickly. can't you9'
II can try" said the clerk, "5ut it is a
doubtful case"
The two ran into the store together Ro-
meo could not nave looked paler than the
poisoned man. The clerk poured out half
bottle or SO of castor oil, which was swal-
lowed with the avidity of an old reb of ga,
who had found his first buttermik in "three
days" Death not coming to his relief as
soon as he expected, lie resumed his way,
and has not been heard from since. The
clerk was avenged i-MemphiS Argus

A Thirty Years Mystery Cleared
Up.

Over thirty years ago there was consider
ble excitement in Cecil county, Maryland,
on account of the sudden disappearance of a
widow lady, named Patty Polk, who resided
about four miles from Elkton. She was
last seen going into thicket near her house,
where too men had just passed. All search for
her was fruitless. After reasonable time
had elapsed letters of administration on her
effects were issued, and in settling up the
estate the administrator was unable to find
a note drawn by one of the men who had
been seen to go into the thicket The note
was known to have been in her possession
short time before her disappearance. This
aroused the suspicious of some Of the peo-
pie, and the two men were arrested but
nothing could be proved against them and
they we're discharged.
a number of years ago one of the sus-
pectcd parties died, and last week it is re.
ported that tie other, being very ill, sent
for minister, to whom he made free con-
fession. According to popular rumor, the
the confession was to the effect that he, with
the other party, sent to Mrs. Polk to meet
them in certain place, where they would
pay the money on the notes, and they ther
failed to meet her f; that they saw her on hel
way home, and knowing she would pasi
through the thicket, they went into it, anc
laid in ambush, and as soon as she appeared
one knocked her on the head with sticl
! of wood, killing her That they then placed
her body in the midst of wood pile, wher
they intended to let it remain, But it oe
coming noxious, they went to the pile will
box to remove the body, and found tina
the dog of the deceased had taken his pac,
to watch over the corpse, and they wer,
compelled to kill him before they could ge
the body, and that, after succeeding. they
carried it in the box to where the Phiadel
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
was being built, and placed it in the em
| bankment.
! 1t is also stated that as soon as the maj
had made this disclosure he commenced t.
improve and that he is now in fair way o
recovery.

A POEM BY DANIEL 8. DICKINSON.

The late Daniel s. Dickinson had the misfortune,
while United States Senator, to lose his daughter,
Mrs. Virginia Murray. to whom he was warmly
attached. He was fond of spending his unemployed
hours by her grave, in Spring Grove Cemetery, at
Bnghsmpton, N. Y, and one Sunday afternoon,
in 1857 while sitting at the spot he wrote the SUBJ
joined stanzas They were solicited for publication
during his lie time, but from difidence he always
withheld his consent They now appear for the first
time.-EaeAange
COME TO MY GRAVE ALONE
Come to my grave alone, when no foostep is falling
near
And water my lowly bed with affections gentle
Pause by the heartless stone, by the marble cold
and chill,
And think Of the heart below as the marble cold
Come in the Summers prime, at the close of the
busy day,
vesper lay,
Kneel by my grassy couch, whisper to Heaven a
prayer
And the spirit of her you loved will hover around
you there.
Come when the Autumn leaves are fallen faded and
sere,
When the moaning November breeze sigh. over the
When the reapers work is done and the harvess are
gathered all,
And think of the reaper Death, who gathers the
great and small.
Come when the Winters cold, on crushing and lev
feet,
Has travelled around the earth in his frosted winding
sheet,
And has blasted the woods and the field, in his
journey Of storm and STRIFE
And shown in the closing year nm emblem of human
life
Come in the budding Spring, when Nature is fresh
and gay,
when the petals of early flowers bright with the
dews of May;
And think of that heavenly Spring. the spr;nv of
eternal bloom,
When the loved shall meot together, beyond the
night Of the tomb.

Getting Married.

Every young girl now-a-d days expects to
get rich husband, and therefore rich men
ought to be abundant. In the country, we
admit, that girls are sometimes brought up
with an idea of work, and with suspicion
that each may chance to wed sober, steady,
good looking, industrious young man who
will be compelled to earn by severe labor
the subsistence of himself and family
There are not so many brought up with
such ideas now, even in the country as
there used to be; but there are some, and
they consequently learn how to become
helpmates to such worthy partners. But in
town it is different. From the highest to
the lowest class in life, the prevailing idea
with all is, that marriage is to lit them at
once above all necessity for exertion and
even the servant girl dresses and reasons as
If she entertained a romantic confidence in
her Cinderella-like destiny of marrying q
prince, or, at least, of being fallen in love
with and married by some wealthy gentle
man, il not by some nobleman in disguise
This is why so many young men fear to
marry. The young women they meet with
are embued with notions of marriage sc
utterly incompatible with the ordinary re-
lations of life in their station they are SC
wholly inexperienced in the economy of tn,
household they have been taught, or hav,
taught themselves, such "noble disdain'
for all kinds of family industry; they hav,
acquired such expectations of lady.like cas-,
and elegance in the matrimonial connection
that to wed any one of them is to secure
lifelong lease Of domestic unhappiness, ant
purchase wretchedness, poverty, and de
spair. ...
All this is wrong, and should be amend
ed. Such fallacies do not become a sensibl
age nor sensible people Our grandfather
and mothers had more wisdom than this
The present age is much too fast in thi
respect. Let US sober down little lie
every young woman be taught ideas of lif
and expections of marriage suitable to he
condition, and she will not be so frequentl
disappointed. Should she 6e fortunate an
we'd above that condition, she may readil
learn the new duties becoming to it, an
will not have been injured by having POI
sessed herself of those fitting station b,
low. Let her anticipate always marriae

then, should she happen TO do better. b,
good fortune will be only the more deligh
