Their next meeting was brought about by
an extraordinary coincidence. 1t appeared
that the friends with whom Elizabeth was
stopping possessed some valuable engravings,
which they were desirous of selling. They
had been placed in the drawing-room, and

drop IN for the purpose of Inspecting them.
Elizabeth was seated alone in the room,
contemplating the engravings with an alb
stracted gaze. She had entered just as some
visitors had taken their departure. Hardly

suddenly thrown open, and Mr.. Talbot was
shown in. On seeing him, Elizabeth uttered
low cry. He stopped. as if struck with
astonishment; then, hastily advancing, he
exclaimed

Haley. Will my presence embarrass you. if

some Of these sketches? ?'
She was intensely mortified by his coolness
Without raising her eyes from the ground,
she answered.

A BEAUTIFUL trait Of character and lovely
custom of the Spanish peasantry appear in
their love of parents. They yield to them
obedience, respect, veneration and love, after
they are aged, and the children are men and
women grown. The married children delight
to have their parents to direct and govern
them as in childhood. and these children
even quarrel among themselves to keep and
get pos session of their aged parents. This
trait of character is said to mark a slow

NEW Discovery IN BUTTER MAKINc.-A
method OF making butter from sweet milk:
in an ordinary churn, by which all the milk
is converted into butter, and no buttermilk
is left was exhibited to US yesterday in the
Alta office. The secret is not in the churn,
but in the addition of an innocent and pala-
table ingredient. By this invention one gall
lon of milk will make eight pounds of butter !;
the old plan of churning sweet milk will give
only one pound of butter from three gallons
of milk. so that this new invention gives
wenty-four times as much tutter from the
same quantity of milk The butter is of
good appearance, tastes well, and will keep
as long as the article manufactured by any
other process. The holders of the patent
right for this coast Messrs, Ebert & Madison)
talk as if they understood their business, and
to prove their statements. will churn in the
presence of anybody. The patent for this
discovery was issued to Mrs. D. II. McGreg-
ory, of Detroit, Michigan, the discoverer, and
the holders of the right for this coast are willi
ing to sell county. State or Territorial rights
to use the invention. Later in the afternoon
there was an exhibition on larger scale
twelve pounds of butter made from twelve
pints of milk. This is very valuable in
vention for the owners Of daries.-Altd.

MODERN DEMocRACY.-The Irish Republic;
the leading and most able Irish American
newspaper published in this country, has
the following answers and questions as to
what is Democracy Who compose this mis-
called Democratic party that has kept the
nation in the throes Of dissolution since the
close of the war? There is not a man in the
land who raised his sword to strike down
liberty that is not arrayed in its ranks y
There Is not man who secretly prayed and
plotted for the success of rebellion that is not
member ofitl ! There is not a rufhan who
roamed the cities of the North, when treason
lifted its coward hand to stab the nation in
the back-h0wling like a savage for blood,
and numbering all who by their color or ex=
ated principles excited his barbarian feroci-
ty-but is a member of the party. Democ.
racy, that once was pure as the Goddess Of
Liberty, has become the social eviP' of the
body polite. She arrays herself in the robes
of the harlot. and painted in shamefulness,
goes into the dens of vice and sells her person
to gain popularity with the vulgar. She is
cheered in the rat-pit. She is befouled in the
embraces of the brutal bully of the prize
ring. The dainty-gloved gambler, who ham
dies the dice box, or cuts throat, is her
fancy man. In a word, she is the idol of
crime. and her home is the sewers of the
cities and the sinks of the nation.

Vocal Music Conducive to Health

1t was the opinion of DR.. Rush that sing
ing by young ladies, whom the customs Of
society debar from many other kinds of
healthy exercise, should be cultivated not
only as an accomplishment, but as a means
OF preserving health. He particularly insists
that vocal music should never be neglected
In the education of a young lady, and states
thati besides Its salutary operation in sooth-
ing the cares of domestic life, it has a still
more important effect. Il here introduce a
fact" says DIR. Rush. (which has been sug-
gested to me by my profession that is the
exercise OF the organs Of the breast by sing
ing contributes very much to defend them
from those diseases to which the climate and
other causes expose them. The Germans are
seldom afflicted with consumption, nor have
ever known more than one case Of splitting
of blood amongst them. This, l believe, is
in part occasioned by the strength which
their lungs acquire by exercising them fre-
quently in vocal music, which constitutes an
essential branch of their education" :" The
music master Of our academy" says Garden
er. s. has furnished me with an observation
still more in favor of this opinion. He in
forms me that he has known several in.
stances of persons strongly disposed to con-
sumption, restored to health by the exercise
of the lungs in singing" In the new estab-
lishment of infant schools for children of
three and four years of age, everything is
taught by the aid of song. Their little les.
sons, their recitations, their arithmetical
countings, are all chanted and as they feel
the Importance of their own voices when
Joined together, they emulate each other in
the power of vociferating. This exercise is
found to be very beneficial to their health
Many instances have occurred of weakly
children, of two and three years of age, who
could scarcely support themselves, having
become robust and healthy by this constant
exercise of the lungs. These results are per.
fec;ly philosophical. Singing tends to ex-
pand the chest. and thus increase the activity
and powers of the vital organs.

Gov. HAwLEY's speech upon taking the
chair as permanent president of the Chicago
Convention was SO noble an effort that we can
hardly find words to express our admiratlon
for it. The spirit in which it was received by
the delegates was equally noble. Nothing
which he said was received with so much en-
tbusiasm as these golden words: "We may
be sure that the triumph Of the power of ma
ton of forty millions, must be behind the just
claims OF the poorest workingman, of whatev-
er race, to recover his just wages; its majesty
must be felt wherever the humblest ioyar man

hearers can only reach the proper chord when
he gets down to the hard pan of the eternal

know this and fails in the long run by defiling
with some dishonest heresy- reputation

Pendletonianism is coming out of the lit
tlest end of the smallest imaginable horn. A
one time, owing to the indiscretion of few
ambitious politicians belonging to both parties
it seemed probable that its poison had injected
the whole Western people. The representatives
of their business men at the Boston CONNER
cial Convention last winter dispelled this fear
n great measure. The resolutions of the Hi
'nois Republican Convention a few weeks ago
completely banished it. 1t is certain that the
Republicans of the East and West alike repudi
ate it with scOrn and Indignation; and if the

In these days of high prices of food, it be-
comes matter of the greatest Importance to
the farmer, to know what he can produce that
will bring him the largest return for his la
bors.
The cultivation of the soil in this part of our
country is necessarily attended with much
hard labor, and notwithstanding the many Ia
bor-saving machines which the inventive gen.
Jus of the mechanic has supplied for the amel-
ioration of the condition of the husbandman,
no important results are attained without a
large expenditure of physical force. This con-
dition of things is perhaps unavoidable, in so
far as the cultivation of the soil is concerned !;
and so long as its productions are necessary
to the existence of the human family, SO long
must some of us labor to bring them forth.
But there is another kind of food that many
farmers in our State may raise at a large prof
it, the production of which does not depend
much upon the nature of the soil he occupies,
whether it is rich or poor, sandy or rocky, and
requires little or no labor and but little of his
time.
The cultivation of fish is fast attracting the
attention of the people of this country as it has
for years past that of the people of foreign
countries. Almost any farmer can raise trout
for himself, and for the supply of the market,
where they will always find q ready sale at re-
munerative prices.
All that is requisite is running stream of
water no matter how small, except that the
larger the stream the greater number of trout
that can be raised in it. Any farmer or other
porsou having such stream running through
his land, can, by stocking a part of it with
young fish, raise and catch all the trout he
wants on his own premises. Persons having
children can afford them no better amusement
than to give them the care of a thousand or
more trout; and considered as an investment,
few things can be more profitable, as within
two or three years the fish will be worth ten
times their original cost, while there is the
further consideration, that a stream once
properly stocked, WILL after the first two years
always replenish itself
Is not this, then, subject worthy to engage
the attention of our farmers, and others who
have the facilities for entering upon the bust
ness. By the outlay of a few dollars, source
of income may be established, which will be
continually increasing and that without addi.
tional expense.
An establishment for the breeding of these
fish has been started, and is in full operation
in New Hampshire, from which any quantity
Of young trout can be supplied. We under
stand that an agency has been established in
this city, with Mr. G.. L. Bailey As Exchange
St., who will receive orders and deliver the
young fish, with all the necessary apparatus
for their protection and cultivation. Let the
attention of those interested be turned to this
subject, and our markets will soon be fully
supplied with an article of food, which is now
only to be INDUCED in as a luxury.
