Beautiful Extract.

Some fifteen years ago, Pew. John n. Maffit,
then in his prime, delivered a lecture which
closed with the following fine passage: "The
Phoenix, fabled bird of antiquity, when it
felt the advancing chill of age, built its own
funeral urn, and fired its pyre by means which
natures instinct taught. All its plumage and
and its form of beauty became ashes; but then
would rise the young-beautiful from the urn
of death and chambers of decay, would the
fedgling come with its eyes turned towards
the sun, and essaying its dark velvet wings,
sprinkled with gold and fringed with silver,
on the balmy air, rising little higher, until
at length, in the full confidence offiight it gives
cry of Joy, and soon becomes glitterlng
speck on the bosom of the aerial ocean. Love,
ly voyager of earth, bound on its heavenward
journey to the sun So rises the spirit oird
from the ruins of the body, the funeral urn
which its Maker built the death fires. 80
towers away to its home on the pure elements
of spirituality, intellect Phoenix, to DIP It's
proud wings in the fountain of eternal bliss
So shall dear, precious humanity survive from Of
its ashes of a burning world. So beautifully
shall the unchanged soul soar within the disc
of eternity's great luminary, with undazzied
eye and unscorched wings-the Phoenix OF I'M,
mortaity-taken to its rainbow home, and
Graded on the beating bosom OF eternal love.

Cream I'm Cold weather.

For some reason not yet known, cream skim
med from milk in cold weather does not como
to butter, when churned, so quickly as that
from the same COW in warm weather. Per-
haps the pellicles, which form the little sacks
of butter in the cream, are thicker and tough
er. There are two methods of obviating this
trouble in great degree. One is, to set tho
pan Of milk on the stove, or in some warm
place, as soon as strained, and let it remain un-
til quite warm-some say, until buble or two
rises, or until a skim of cream begins TO form
ON the surface Another mode is TO add tea
spoonful of salt to quart of cream when it il
skinned. Cream thus prepared will general
ly come to butter in few minutes when churn-
ed. 1t is thought the salt acts upon the coat
ing of the butter globules and makes them
tender, so that they break rapidly when beat
en- by the churn.

FAIsmEr.'s REPOSITORY.
Grow a variety OF Grasses.

A Farmer should not depend on single va
tiety of grass alone TO stock his land. Neither
rlover, timothy, bluegrass. red-top, or any o.
cher of the grasses viii yield as largely when
grown separate as will different kinds mixed
in the same field. In pastures the difference
in profit is greater than in meadows, between
stocking with one or several varieties. Where
there is variety there is the best for each sea-
son; one kind starts early; another grows Wig
orously in the summertime and withstands
dry weather third may supply an abund-
ancc of late fall feed, enduring frosts WE'LL
Then stock has choice aud variety, and tho
land is apt to have denser covering aud moro
pasture is thereby afforded
For manurial purposes it is also better TO
grow variety of grasses and plants ON tho
same spot Some draw more nutrlment from
the air, Others more from the soil some send
their roots down deep into the subsoil, others
thrive near the surface. Perhaps, too, the soil
may be wanting in some materials necessary to
the proper growth Of one kind of grass, but IT
may be well supplied with what will promote
he success of another. The clover may win
ter kill-then there should be timothy and blue
grass. There is room and food enough in the
soil for many kinds to use at once give Nature
time enough and she viii put them there. The
farmer should anticipate and place them in
his soil in the beginning.

POETICAL.
JANETTE'S HAIR.

"0h loosen the snood that you wear, Janette,
Let me tangle hand in your hair, my pet
For the world TO me had no daintier sight,
Than your brown hair yelling your shoulders white
As tangled hand in your hair, my pet.
1t was brown with golden gloss, Janette,
1t was finer than silk of the floss, my pet;
Twas beautiful mist falling down to your wrist
Twas thing to be braided, and eweled, and kiss
Twas the lovliest hair in the world, my pet.
Ny arm was the arm of a clown, Janette,
1t was sinewy, bristled and brown, my pet,
But warmly and softly it loved to caress
Your round white neck and your wealth OF tress,
Your beautiful plenty of hair, my pet.
Your eyes had a swimming glory, Janette,
Revealing the old dear story, my pet;
They were grey with that chastened tnge OF the SKY
When the trout leaps quickest to catch the hy-
And they matched with your golden hair, my pet
Your lips-but have no words, Janette,
They were fresh as the twitter of birds, my pet,
When the spring is young and the roses are wet
With dew-drops in each red bosom set,
And they suited your gold brown hair, my pet.
Oh you tangled my life in your hair, Janette,
Twas a silken and golden snare, my pet;
But so gentle the bondage my soul did implore
The RIGHT TO continue the slave evermore,
With my fingers enmeshed in your hair, my pet.
Thus ever dream what you were, Janette,
With your lips and your eyes, and your hair, my pet
In the darkness of desolate years moan,
And nv tears fall bitterly over the stone
That covers your golden hair, my pet

Whiskers and Kisses.

The editress of the Lancaster Literary Ga

whiskers to kiss her. We, don't believe a
word oft The objections which some ladies
pretend to have to whiskers all arise from en-
Wy. They don't have any. They would il
they could but the fact is, the continual mo-
tion of the lower jaw is fatal to their growth
The ladies-God bless them adopt our fash
ions as fast as they can. Look at the depreda-
tions they have committed on our wardrobes
the last few years. They have appropriated
our shirt bosoms, gold studs and all. They
have encircled their soft bewithing cheeks IN
our standing collars and cravats, driving us to
flatties and turn-downs. Their innocent little
hearts have been pslptating in the inside OF
our waiscoats, instead Of humping against the
outside, as naturally indeed. They thrust their
pretty little feet and ankles through our un-
mentionables, unthinkabouts, and they are
skipping along the streets in our high-heeled
boots. Do you hear I've say boots.

Fattening Hogs.

As soon as the mast has disappeared from
the woods, hogs should be called up and fed
regularly. Where but few are kept, they
should be confined in styes, and their sleeping
apartments so constructed as TO be dry and
warm and comfortable at all times. Within
the enclosure they should have an ample sup
ply of rough material to root over and enrich.
During the process of fattening, cooked roots,
apples, pumpkins and vegetables OF various
kinds. mixed with a small quantity OF corn
meal. should be given them. AT a later period
increase the amount of corn meal-and during
the last three weeks Of the fattening, they
should be fed exclusively ON cooked corn meal.
To give them corn in the ear is wasteful in the
extreme, notwithstanding such is the general
custom

To Cure Meat

To gallon of water, take II lbs of salt, I

this ratio the pickle to be Increased to any
quantity desired Let these boil together un-
til all the dirt from the sugar rises to the top
and is SKINNED off. Then throw into tub TO
cool, and when cold, pour it over your beef or
pork, to remain the usual time, say four or five
weeks. The meat must be well covered with
the pickle, and should not be put down for
two days after killing, during which time it
should be sprinkled with powdered saltpetre,
which removes all the surface blood, &C., lea
wing the meat fresh and clear. Some omit
boiling the pickle and find it to answer well ;
though the operation Of boiling purifes tho
pickle by throwing off the dirt always to be
found in salt and sugar. If this receipt ID
properly tried, it will never be abandoned.--
There is none that surpasses it, IF so good.

too many. Do not change. Milk as fast as
possible. Experience proves this to be the best
way. Talk as little as possible while milking.
Let the COW be perfectly quiet and contented.
Milk at regular hours; let those be near
ly or quite ui-distant-say twelve hours
between each milking Then there will be no
straining of the bag by over-distention. These
are points which good dairymen always OBJ
