RoNNEY, FRIDAY MORNING, Nov. II, 1870.
IT'S SWEET, THO SAD AT EVEN.

It's sweet, though sad, at even.
When the fires light is low.
To gather round the hearthstcne
In the elnber's 6uul glow;
And call from memOry's keeping
The ch erished one Of yore,
The beautiful and lovely,
Who dwell with us no more.
Those bright and happy children
That used 10 please US so.
Like buds at Autumn's coming,
They persisted long ago.
The fair and gentle maideus
Who blessed these homes of ours,
n, me, they too departed,
And left US with the flowers.
AS these come througiug round us,
From friendships broken chain,
We half forget our sorrow
In seeing them again
once more their eyes seem sorrowing
In sea ofholy light,
AS if their souls were dreaming.
vi better world delight.
Thus, at the close of even,
When on the halflit wall.
The shadows seem To lengthen
Into phantoms grim and tall
Dear memory brings around us
he friends of other years,
Till our minds grow full of thinking
AND our eyes grow dim with tears

How TO CAN FRuIT.-Last year / attempt
ed, too late, to tell the readers of the Journal
how to can fruit 1t may be as well, for
was intending to recommend particular jar
on theoretical grounds. / have since proved
it perfect success, yet have engaged slight
variation i'll its cover this year to avoid o
theoretical imperfecticn.
People can put on q false theory. 1t is
that of driving the air out of thejar by steam.
This can be done, and perhaps sometimes is,
but | think Of no circumstances in which |
would attempt it. The true way is, to fill
the jar absolutely full of boiling liquid, and
clap the cover on, leaving no particle of air
or steam under it. Now to particularize.
First. Take glass jar. It is unchange-
able, and is es good as new till it breaks
No fruit acts on it. You can see its contents.
You need not break it.
Second. Heat it till it will bear boiling
LIQUIDS. This may be done by pouring in
water that will not break it, and adding sue
cessive portions of boiling water, shaking it
after each.
Third. Dip in the substance to be canned
from boiling kettle, as deliberately as you
rlease, so that the top does not get cold
that boiling water will break it. Fill to
within half an inch of the very brim.
Fourth. Lay circle of stiff paper on sur
face.
Fifth Pour on quantity of boiling wa
ter, letting it run over the top, till the last
particle of foam is washed away. The paper
keeps the stream from washing away the sub
stance beneath.
Sixth. Pat on a hot glass cover, that will
project little into the mouth of the jar, with
a rubber ring between the top of the jar and
the shoulder of the cover, so that no air can
pass the cover.
Seventh. Put on clasp, or other con-
trivauce, to hold the cover and rubber firmly
against the top of the jar air tight. The I'D
touches the surface of the boiling water, and
there is n place for air or steam in the jar.
But as it cools, the surface of the liquid sinks
away from the cover. and it looks as if there
were air in. The more rapidly filled, the
greater will be the vacant space. The less
Of LIQUID in the contents, the less the space.
Eigth. Test the Jar when cold. Remove
the clasp or other contrivance without dis
turbinc the cover. If now yoa can remove
the cover with your fingers. the jar is not
sealed. If lar or cover be defective, sealing
NAV be impossible. If all be tight, replace
the clasp and rest secure.
OF course, with many patterns of Jar, these
directions can not be followed. Reject all
such Jars. A jar might fulfill all these con-
ditions, but be unsatisfactory and dificals TO
open, because air can not be conveniently let
| in by passing the point of knife between
the lar and the rubber. The covers of my
| Ililtons last year left minute bubble OF air
beneath them. 1t did no practical harm.
The manufacturers promised to make the un-
der surface of the cover little convex this
year.
see no reason why jars should not be as
good after q use of twenty years as at hrst.
They will keep quicklime, potash. spices.
varnishes-c certainly, if the mouth aud cover
can be kept clean. None of these need q
vacuum.-I f. Holton.
