Prepare to Meet Thy God"

From this text the Rev. VIM. Friend,
one of the ablest aud most eloquent divincs
of the Episcopal Church in Virginia, preach
cd sermon some days since. Hardly had
he left the church before the summons
camc--he fell in the church yard and lived
but few hours. We give below some cx-
tracts from his last appeal to his beloved
congregation
1T remains only for me to state the
question, ,ehen should we prepare to meet
Cod ? You can readily anticipate what |
would say you know what the Bible de.
mands on this point. You have often heard
the arguments and commands which call
upon you TO do it n0w--to attend TO il to-
day-to defer it no longer You are ia.
miliar with the fact that the Bible requires
it to be done at unce; and that it demands
that every thing else should give way to
this your great cOncern-tbat the presen t
may end your day Of probation, and tina t
there is small probability that preparation
will be made on dying bed.
Il might content myself with laying this
command across the path you are pursuing,

while the impression is still vivid, say 10
you, Prepare to meet thy Cod l might

How TO KEEP BUTTER SwEET.-It is
the easiest thing in the world. Simply put
it in clean jars and cover with strong brine.
This will keep pure butter year, fires b aud
sweet, as We know by experience 1t is al
most equally good to put it in oak casks,
headed tight. This is equivalent to can
ming fruit. The brine in the case of the
jars, acts as a heading, keeping the air out
But butter should be made we'll ; we have
never experimental on poor butter. Work
out the buttermilk till you have only puro
beads clear as rain water; but do not work
so much as to break the grain, in which
case you have tough, heavy article in win
ter, and grease in summer Such butter
we advise no one to try to preserve.

SALT WITH HAY.-A correspondent in
the Germantown Telegraph says: It is n
current opinion among farmers that salt
preserves hay, and that two quarts are suf-
fcient to cure ton. Salt in small guam
titles is septic rather than preservation,
hence a seeming paradox. Salt may i'm
prove spoiled hay and cause it to be better
relished by stock, but well-cured hay re-
quires no salt, aud does not pay for tho
trouble and delay in the hurry of getting
10 well-dried hay. Curing hay in the cock
is much the best plan for the farmers own
use but for market dash it in with q rush,
bright and dry.

LAMP WIcKs-I think that few of your
readers know that lamp wick which is e.
qually good with those we buy, may DO
made out of Canton flannel. Take strip
three times as wide as you wish the wick
to DO, and as long as you like. Fold it
with the heecy side in, so that it will have
three thicknesses, and haste or overcast it
up the side. Almost every housekeeper
has bits of Canton flannel which would be
used for nothing else, and it saves quite a
little item of expense, to say nothing of tho
convenience of being able to make new
lamp wick whenever il is needed. l have
made all the wicks used in our family for
the last six or seven years Selected.
