To Make Apple Butter.

Select two bushels of sweet apples
and two bushels of sour apples, and
peel, quarter and core them. Take
barrel of good sweet apple cider,
and boil it in copper kettle until all
the impurities have risen to the sur
face. After this is done, and the
impurities SKINNED off, take out
two thirds Of the cider. Then put in
the apples, and as the quantity boils
down put in the rest of the cider
After putting in the apples the but
ter must be stirred without inter-
ruption until it is taken off. 1t will
take about five hours boiling after
the apples are put into the cider. Is
should be boiled until the whose mast
becomes smooth and of the same con-
sistency, and Of dark brown color.
Spice with ground cloves and CHINA
mon, to taste. The butter can than
then be taken off and put into YES
sells for use. Earthen crooks are
best for this purpose. Tie the YES
sells over with heavy paper and set
them away in dry place. The but
ter will keep a year if wanted.
Peach butter is made much in the
same way. Sometimes the peaches
are not peeled, though the butter is
better if the Feelings are taken Off
1t does not require SO much boiling
to make peach butter, and as soon as
the peaches are thoroughly boiled up
and the butter is thick enough it can
be taken off. Cover the vessels with
paper moistened with whisky
This will keep the butter from moul-
ding on top.-FdrmJournat

Location of Heaven.

We clip the following from the
Scientific american, of the 18th in
stant
Theological writer's have always
been puzzled to fix upon any very
definite idea in regard to the geo.
graphical-so to specialization Of
heaven. The Christian faith associ-
ates it as final resting place for re-
deemed souls, and preachers have
drawn from it the lesson that revela-
ton, for wise reasons, had yelled it
in obscurity. But science is pro-
gressive. 1t digs deep into the bow
els of the earth, and scars away into
the regions Of infinite space, SO that
at last, we have "a philosopher sutfi-
GENTLY bold who undertakes to re-
move the perplexity, and solve all
our doubts upon this sublime subject.
Instead of being matter of phiIo-
sophie and Christian speculation, we
are now provided with a scientific
solution Of the whole difficulty by ID.
Mortimer, NJ. d. (not D. D. Accord
ing to his theory, s'there is a vast
globe, or world, far aojthin, from the
surrounding philosophers of ethereal
fire, which all denominate the sun,
which globe is estimated to be at
least five hundred thousand miles in
diameter" DR.. Mortimer states that
he has brought divine revelation to
bear on this vast central globe, and
is plainly convinced "that the globe
thus discerncd is the Heavenly EN-
pire wherein the righteous from this
earth find their future home" Not
content to have made the discovery
of the exact locality of"our Heaven"
the Doctor has gone into mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation of the number OF
minutes it requires for the spirits
flight from earth to this celestial
abode, for all of which information
doubling and believing souls will for
ever thank the learned doctor.

Financial Delegation for Washington.

The New York Times of October
1st, says: "Last evening a strong
and powerful delegation of mer-
chants and importers of this city left
for Washington, for the purpose of
holding a conference with the Presi-
dent relative to the disturbed condi-
ton of financial affairs, previous to
the holding of the Cabinet meeting.
The subject of discussion before the
Cabinet will be the financial situation
OF the country, as it has been affect
ed by the recent crisis, and the mer-
chants and importers have decided
to seek the Presidents aid in this
emergency, SO they may be relieved
from the embarrassments naturally
resulting from the unsettled condi-
ton of the money market. On We'd
nesday it was requested to ask Sec
rotary Boutwell, if he would not mod
ify his programme as far as the sell
ing of SO, 00O,0 900 of gold during the
next month was concerned. Bout
we'll sent back positive instructions
that the line of action already de-
termined on would not be in any way
disturbed. The merchants and i'm.
porters thereupon determined to send
an influential delegation to consult
with the President, ard request him
to allow the Secretary discretionary
powers, that he may sell gold in such
quantities and at such times as will
best regulate the market"
