If you would find great many faults
be on the lookout. If you would find
them in still greater abundance, be on

Choose ever the plainest road; it al

son, choose ever to DO and say what is
most just and the most direct. This con-
duet will save thousand blushes and a
thousand struggles, and will deliver you
from the secret torments of dissimula-
ton.

Strive to do right because it is right;
shun the wrong because it is wrong.
Sin is bad in the eye, worse in the
tongue, worse still in the heart, but
worse of all in the life.

taken his fathers gun, fired at her as
she sat upon a bush, and she fell dead
upon the ground. Tne boy ran with
wicked joy to pick up the bird, and then
gave it TO his dog to eat.
The wicked boy! Why did he kill the
poor bird that had never done him any
harm, and especially at Il time when she
was was SO necessary to her little ones.
All, they will wonder why she stayed

morning, but in perching upon the edge
of the nest to see if they could discover
their mother, two of them fell, and being
tender they were badly bruised. They
remained some time upon the ground
suffering much. They could not bulge
from the spot, for they were not abb,

they had fallen saw them, and put al

AS for the one that remand in tht

mother might hear him. At last bein,

In the night there was Il heavy rain

Butter Making.

The editor of the New England Farm
er says that good butter can not be made
without careful observance of the
following rules: ~
l. Perfect cleanliness in everything,
from the milking OF the COWS to packing
the butter down.
2. A dry and weil-ventilated room in
which to set the milk, at temperature
of from 60 deg, to 63 deg.
8. Cream not TO stand over thirty-six
hours-twentyf four is frequently better
in winter; and in summer, twelve to
eighteen hours, in most dairy rooms.
4. Stir the cream, and add little
salt at each time of skimming the milk.
8. Churn often; twice or three times "a
week is better than only once.
6. One ounce of salt to a pound of but
ter will more nearly meet the avarage
taste than a larger or smaller quantity.

which make up the sum ofour life. No
matter who you are, what your lot, or
where your live, you cannot afford to do

M wiz you please have the kindness to call the
attention Of the proper authorities to the nuls-
sance occasloned by number OF noisy, rowdy
boys who copgtegate every afternoon, and
more especially on Sundays, in the park on
Aiken's Row, rendering It impossible, y. from
their rowdism and ,diseracefnl language, for
children or any decent person to enjoy or
walk through the park, or even to sit on their
own piazzas? Last Sunday afternoon they had
brought, in addition to themselves, some
eight or ten dogs, whose barking, combined
with the oaths and yells of the bipeds, was
fearful to hear. This fun usually ends In
fights, curses, &C., from which, through pru-
dental motives, suppose, the police. keep
away. We hope the nuisance will be abated.
