Agnes.

She has a tender, winning way,
And walks the earth with gentle grace,
Androses with the lilly play
Amid the beauties of her face.
H-heHe'er she tunes her voice to sing,
The song birds list with anxious looks,
For It combines the notes of spring
With all the music of the brooks,
Her merry laughter, soft and low,
Is as the chimes of silver bells
That, like sweet anthems, float and flow
Through woodland groves and bosky dclls
Aud when the violets see her eyes
They flush and glow with love and shame
Then meekly droop with sad surprise,
As though unworthy Of the name,
Gut still they bloom where'er she throws
Her dainty glance ard smiles so sweet,
And cen amid stern winters SHOWS
The daisies spring beneath her feet.
She wears crown of Purity,
Full set with woman's brightest gem
A wreath of maiden modesty-
And Virtue is the diadem.
And when the pansies bloom again,
And spring and summer intertwine,
Great joys will fall on me like rain,
For she will he forever mine!

Sailing BUTrEB.-A. Ray
mond, a New Hampshire cor
respondent Of the Rural New
Yorker, gives the following re-
cipe for sailing butter:
Take tWoqnarts of good salt,
one ounce Of sugar, one ounce
of saltpetre. Use one ounce
OF composition for one pound
Of butter. It should be stamp
ed and left to cool before put
ting in jars. Butter prepared
in this way should not be used
for two or three weeks. You
will find that your butter will
be very fine, as it will have no
salty look or taste. BY follow
ing this course your butter will
keep the year through, III warm
as well as cold weather.

now to illustrate Or explain it,

we are talking only about econ

Economy.

The Natchez Democrat is
now publishing a series of tel
ling articles, showing the neces-
sity at the present time, of
economy, frngality, and strict
attention to business. The
following is a sample:
A fair rebel asks us "1Tust
the wives and daughters prac-
tice all the economy ?"
Surely not. The husbands
and sons should also be eco
nomical. But two wrongs do
not make a right, for all that
and extravaganza is both mas
culine and feminine.
Men are seldom Ito appear
ance at least) extrayagant in
dress, and women are very gen
orally SO, and the reason is, that
in the one it is humanity, and III
the otheri it is most natural and
Womanly. There is no danger
that q man will wear laees, and
bugles, and tinsel and fiounces,
bugs and feathers, for the sim
pie reason Moses gave to Aaron
for not cutting off their noses.
1t is not the fashion, and never
will be.
The fashions to drink whisky
straight and brandy smashes,
and most sedulously and ex-
travagantly do the husbands
and sons follow it.
Let us do a little cyphering.
There are, at least, two hun
bred men in Natehez and Adj
ans county who take one drink
every day that is eighteen
thousand two hundred and fifty
dollars a year-for drinks are
twenty-five cents each. At least
one hundred of them take as
many as four drinks every day,
that is tWenty-seven thousand
three hundredan seventy-fiye
dollars more, making in all,
forty-five thousand six hundred
aud twenty-five dollars for the
most moderate sort Of drinking;
and when you come to add to
this the sprees, or hard spells,
almost every man who drinks
at all win be occasionally be-
trayed into, the occasional
drinkers and the real old soak
ers, it will take at least six fig
ures to state the amount. 1t is
such IN amount that if it were
subscribed for building acotton
or WOODEN factory, capitalists
would be justified in trebIine
it, if necessary, to make a ire
mendous concern of it at once
and enterprise produces enter
prise, as surely as small pota-
toes breed large ones.
But this is not all. If this
gross amount were collected
and applied for one, two, or five
years, consecutiyely, to paying
off the old debts of those who
spend it, a certain proportion
TO each creditor each year, il
would not take long to have
every one of them free of debt
True, Peter, who owes only five
hundred dollars, takes four Oh
ten drinks a day, and Jim, who
owes five thousand, takes only
one. But in that case it would
add to the meritof Peters self
denial most wonderfully, thai
it helps to pay of .iils's debts

A new way of keeping warm
has been put in practice and
with good effect. Il is to have
a buckWheat cake made large
enough to cover the bed, like a
quilt, and spread over it "pip-
ing hot" about the time of re-
thing. When made the proper
thickness, it retains the heat
until morning, and then if "a
person is too lazy to get UP, he
can make a very good break
fast by eating of the ends as he
lies.

The pleasure of fault-fnding,
the eye which is only trained
to detect moral deformities, the
tongue which cuts like a two
edged sword, may be pfofessed-
ly for the good of mankind, but
is in reality too often an escape
valve for i'll nature, or a mar
row-minled sophism, which
confounds everything which
differs from its own standard
with a violation Of wisdom and
goodness.
