But here, as Often happens in the REM
iniscences of our childhood, the vision
fails. We can recollect nothing of our
reception.
Since then we have 6shed in many a

but never with half the exhilaration of
that first joyful hour upon the Bantam
Not even there, again, would the fire
be rekindled' For, not lcng after, taking
a younger brother, to be a marvelling
witness of our success, we went again to
the old sawmill. The air was disenchant-
ed. The roads and bushes had no spirit
In them. The brook gurgled aud rushed.
We caught our fish, few, but without
craze, and came solemnly home, wnoder-
ing what the reason could be that the
first time could be had but once
Since then we have seen many grown
up boys seeking to reproduce first sensa-

But each day must provide its own first
times. Those of yesterday are shrunk

Were walking out one Sunday.
Says Betsy Briggs, to Thomas Higgs--
Tomorrow will be Sunday" I"
This Is mere nursery gingle we know.
Mother Goose, that prolific source Of all
nonsense, originated it long ago; and dur
ing the years that have rung their chan
ges since, toothlcss danes have crooned it
to the bonny BARNS in their arms nursery
maids have trolled it to their spoiled and
petted charges; and fond mothers caroled
it to their darlings; all without giving a
thought as to what the drift OF the rhyme
might be.
Now and then some infant inventor or
genius with prophetic foreshadowing
of what he is yet to be may have venture
ed an inquiry as to the identity of Betsey
Briggs and Thomas Higgs but such trca-
sonable inquir es arc hushed and our hero
is left to vague specuations' We will,
however, be more generous, and treat our
little ones to at least suppostional ink

Bctsey and Thomas.
Let Betsy be buxom dairy-maid, al

no respite but few hours on the Sunday.
The brawny Thomas, sun-browned and
stout, is her lover.
From Monday morning till Saturday
night these human machines are kept in
motion. They do not complain, this life
is what they were born to,-they have
known no easier one, and they enjoy it in
sort of way. Labor sweetens their rest
land until Thomas gets old and bis joints
become stiff from long use, and Betsey
gets ailing--thcy will plod on in the same
way, if not for others, then for them
selves.
But on this Sunday they walk out hand

SLEEP AND GROW FAT. 1T has been said
all the flesh and all the fat we ever gain
is accomplished during sleep. There is,
no doubt. some truth in this remark. The
infant is usually fat and he sleeps the
greater part Of the time. The fat person
also sleeps very much. Did persons sleep
but little, and when thisseason comes, as
1t does with by far the hrger part, they
begin to lose the rotundit Of body which
characterized them at middle life, and, as
the common expression is dry up" This
IS not the case where suth persons sleep
as well as they did When they were
younger.
The conclusion, then, b be drawn from
these facts, is, if any dtsire to lose fat,
and become thin, they must sleep but lit
tie. This will reduce obesity faster than
any other means can.
sriu -a.--. g.. E.
cool by day and night s'e9pSs5ity is, keep
rate indulgence in eating aud drink, and
plenty of exercise. Whoever will observe
these rules will nov ,e likely to become
too fat. Some kinds of food produce
more fat than others nothing is more
fattcning than Indian meal. The old
way of fattening gooe, SO tasty to cpl
cures, was to tie its ligs, put it in the
chimney-corner, and cihm 1t with Indian
meal. The same process will fatten a hui
man goose--keep still, keep warm, sleep
iaost of the time, and and live on hasty-
pudding.

SUNDAY READING.
" THANK GOD FOR SUNDAY"
BY L. j. CIsT.

Now God be thanked! That he has givcr
Blest boon to saint and sinner
A day of rcst--one day in seven,
Where tolls not the winner;
Rest for the tired and jadcd brain,
The wearied hand, on Sunday,
That they might gather strength again
For toll renewed on Monday.
The merchant in his counting room,
The clerk DER desk and ledger,
The artisan, at forge or 'oom,
The ditcher and the hedger--
The laborer who must toll and slave
From early dawn of Monday
Until the week sinks in its grave,
All cry "Thank God for Sunday"
The day that lifts the weighty chain
Which all the week hath bound us;
That respite gives to heart and brain,
From thousand cares around us;
That in the toilsome march Of life
Thus bids us take, for ono day,
Rest from the battle and the strife;
OH God be thanked FOR Sunday
If thus by ONE lay Of rest
Be hailed, as respite solely,
How to the Christian doubly blest
Must be the Sabbath holy;
As, in flith's light, he lifts his eyes
10 that bright world where one day,
lie longs to spend, beyond the skies,
One blest, eternal Sunday!

PETROLEUM AS A PMNT.--A writer in
the american Ag-iculttris, says regard
ing petroleum
1t can be used to great advantage on
farm as a preserver of wood. 1t is not
properly paint. No coloring matter
should ever be mixed with it. Ordinary
linsecd-oil paint preserves wood by form
ino coat that excludes the atmosphere
from the pores. Petroleum penetrates
the wood and excludes the air by filling
up the pores,
Old barns from which the paint is worn
off will be much improved by a liberal
coat of petroleum. 1t can be put on with
a whitewaih brush. The point is to get
on as much as the wood will absorb. 1t
is better to 60 over the work rapidly, and
the mex. day go over it again.
For shipgle roofs, new and old, nothing
is better than petroleum. In making a
nav ronf we would Dip the shingles by
the bunch in petroleum, until they were
saturated, before putting them on. This
would save the expense of applying it on
the roof with brush.
The sills and timbors Of barns and 9TH
er buildings, in the parts most liable to
decay, should be treated with petroleum.
A good way to do this is to bore a hole
into stick of timber, and fll it with the
oil, and as it is absorbed, add more. The
hole should afterwards be plugged up.
The ends Of all the timber should also
be washed over repeatedly with petroleum
before being put into the building. In
this way, soft maple, black ash, and bass
wood may bo made durable timber, and
as useful as soak when strength is not re-
quired.
We repeat that petroleum is not paint
1t preserves wood by filling the pores
1t is worse than useless to mix anything
with it. If it is desirable to paint, lei
ordinary paint be used. But II nothing
more is,dcsircd than the preservation Of
the wood, use petroleum--and mix moth
ing with it.

THE CHURN.
The dash churn is still in use by many


produce the butter.
Mr. B. had seen good butter made in
ten minutes, and had churned cream and
completed the operation of butter-making
in FIVE minutes, and believed the butter
as good as if it had been three hours in
coming. Still, the best Philadelphia
prints" which always sell for one dollar
per pound, are made in the barrel churn,
and an hour is occupied in its productions
under the most favorable circumstances.
Butter Workers we're briefly noticed,
and Butter Packages also dwelt upon 81
length.
Mr.. Bliss concluded his essay by assur.
his hearers that under the most favorable
auspices, and with most faithful compile
ance with all the conditions enumerated,
without intelligent care, discretion and
skill, 1t is impossible to make good butter.
The general intelligence Of the people Of
Vermont is not que STONED. Why is il
then, that so little butter produced among
these glorious old hills finds its way into
the markets of the world as strictly first
class goods? 1t was stated on the best
authority that not one pound in ten sold
in Boston market was strictly prime.
If "a good exhortation TO produce bsk
ter article, and a careful pointing out Of
the way and manner to do it, viii avail
anything, for which all butter consumers
will devoutly pray, then may We hope TO
have better butter than heretofore, even

possessing desirable characteristics cannot
be relied upon as, breeders to progeny of
like excellence. Instead of constapcv.
there is a continual variation and frequent

traits Of inferior ancestors"

in Connecticut has failed to produce from

milk Or its products, although there have
been some departures from this course
1t is hardly possible to find thorough
bred animal Of any breed that is not inf
nitely better, as stock-getter, than the
very best scrub or grade to be found =
The prcpricty and advantage of using, al
ways and everywhere, only thoroughbred
male animals, was strongly urged. An
even cross between two pure breeds should
be avoided as most unworthy. and entirely
indeiensibie to breed from.
Having determined the breed he will
employ to grade up his stock, the judicious
dairyman will adhere to his decision, in
stead of crossing with one breed this year
and another next.
At the present prices of thoroughbred
stock, breeding of herds for dairy purposes
alone is of doubtful utility. The specula-
tive breeders can hardly be ranked as
real dairymen, nor are their profits con-
sidered the legitimate results of dairying.
Entcrprising dairymen will gradually work
into herds Of high grades, with a liberal
sprinkling of thorough-breds.
Mr.. B. expressed no opinion as to pre-.
ference of breed but said there could be
no question but that the Jersey excels any
other race in the quality of milk. Ayr.
shiies and their grades, though generally
ranked among the cheese-makcrs, were
most excellent bulter.makers.
