THE PoEr AND THE MAN OF INTEL,

The POET AND THE MAN OF INTELLECT.
What faculty must that be which can
paint the most barren landscape aDd hum
blest life in glorious colors II is pure and in
vigorated sense reacting on a sound and
and strong imagination. Is not this the poets
ease? The intellect of most men is barren.
1t is the marriage Of the soul with Nature
that makes the intellect fruitful, that gives
birth to the imagination. When we are dead
and dry as the highway, some sense which
has been healthily fed will put us in relation
with Nature, in sympathy with her, some
grains Of fertilizing pollen floating in the air
tall on us, and suddenly the sky Is all one
rainbow, is full of music and fragrance and
flavor. The man OF intellect only, the pro-
sale man, is barren and staminiferous flow
er; the poet is fertile and rerfect flower
The poet must keep himself unstained and
aloof. Let him perambulate the bounds of
imagination's provinces, the realms of poesy
and not the Insignificant boundaries Of towns.
How many faculties there are which with
we have never found! Some men, methink,,
have found only their hands and feet.-Thor-

APPLE BUTTER. First, If YOU have cider.

APPLE BUTTER. First, IL you have cider,
boil it down to thickness of molasses or syrup;
II intending to make the butter next day,
leave some of the cider to cool the apples: il
not intending to make right away, when you
do make, put the apples to cool in water, or
the weak cider, and as soon as they begin to
cool begin to stir to keep from burning in the
kettle; as the apples cook down, fill up the
Kettle with raw apples or some that have
been cooked in another kettle; when the ap-
pies are all in and cooked smooth, without
any Jumps, then put the strong cider in and
boil till 1t is strong AZ wanted. If cider is not
plenty tsome prefer when it is to make it
without using molasses or other sweets in-
stead) it is made the same way, always cool
ing the apples well before putting in the
sweetening; for the apples will not cook
smooth in strong cider or molasses. l will
not give any particular measures or rules, as
there are few people who like the same. Last
year had one b,rrel of cider: boiled it
down to four gallons and made sixteen gallons
of outter. The cider was not sweet enough
and added sugar and molasses. We made
the butter at different times, boiling the last
the longest to make it strong enough to keep.
For stirrer we use a narrow board, a little
higher than the kettle, with a long handle
and some holes bored in the board end Be
sure to keep stirring and keep the stirrer on
the bottom of the kettle.

BRAN AND CORN MEAL FOR Cows.-Tbe
Practical Farmer says: 1T is well settled
in the opinion of all our best dairymen that
bran greatly promotes the milk secretions in
cows, and IL is fed almost universally. About
equally mixed with corn meal is the usual
proportion. This mixture seems to promote
both quantity and quality of milk. From
several sources we hear that buckwheat bran
Is great milk producer, and ii is now being
used considerably among our Chester-County
dairymen, in about the same proportion as
the other. Thomas Gawthorp, near West
Grove, Chester County, also by repeated tri-
ais with his own cows, has fully satisfied him
self that they do as well with corn and cob
meal and bran as with pure corn meal and
bran. The amount OF nutriment in corncobs
Is so very small that this result will have to
explained on the supposition Of the ground
cob acting to promote digestion bJ distending
the stomach. The presence of bulky materi-
al being ecessary to promote distension and
NIL up the stomach Of Illuminating animals,
before perfect digestion can be accomplished,
is frequently lost sight of. Hungarian grass
is afro found for mich cows to be rather su-
perior to the ordinary run of hay. The last
year or two Hungarian grass has leomed up
wonderfully in the estimation of our dairy
farmers; and ve:y large scope of land will
be sowed with it the coming season. IL ma
lures for cutting in about sixty days, and pro-
duces two to four tons per acre--;he latter of
course on good soils. Three pecks to the
acre is the usual allowance. Where a good
hay market is convenient this substitution of
Hungarian grass for common hay in home
feeding will be clear additional source of
profit.

A PLUCKY CoNDUCToR.-How some west
ern gamblers found their master in Michi-
gan conductor is thus told by the Detroit
Free Press of Friday: 'For the last month a
trio Of monte men have been working the
lines running into Detroit. They had been
put off the Central, chased off the Detroit
and Milwaukee, and kicked off the Lansing,
road, but they made fresh start the other
morning ON the Southern, going out on Con-
ductor Wilsey's train. AT the depot they got
in with an old man named Fremont, who
lives in Pittsburg, and was on his way home.
They pretended to live in Pittsburg also, and
soon after getting on board the train they
brought out their cards. Fremont Is one of
those smart old chaps who think themselves
posted, and he knew the game, and decided
TO make some money out of them. He lost
S., then $40. and between Detroit and the
junction he lost $55. This was all the money
he had but his blood was un, and he had
hauled ont heavy gold watcn TO stake on
the next bet, when the conductor passed
along. Seeing what was going on, Will
sey told the old man to put up his watch.
At this, one of the gamblers snatched it,
saying, L have won this 7 and then looked up
at the conductor with a face full of brass.
The train had been at a stand-still, and as it
started the conductor pulled the signal to
stop, and turned to the gamblers and de
manded that they give Fremont back his
watch and money. They refused in chorus.
and one of the gamblers, as the conductors 8
coat came of, shouted, This is betterp and
pulled out a revolver and lined it on Wilsey's
eye. Commence shootingv replied the con-
duetor, and out came his own pistol, and up
INTO two mems faces, hammers up and fir
gers on the triggers. The two other gam
blers began to feel for their hip pockets,
when Wilsey quietly said, III you don't hold
up your hands I'll blow the top of your head

Miss Martha and Miss Amy.

They had lived peacefully all their lives in
that motherly old house by the bay side,
where successive generations had lived be-
fore them, The painted tiles around the op-
en- fire looked as if their fops and fine ladies
had stepped out of the Spectator and the Tat
Ter; the great mahogany chairs looked as hos
pitable as when the French officers were quar-
tered in the house during the revolution, and
its Quaker owner, Miss Martha grand uncle,
had carried out seat that the weary sentl-
mel might sit down. Descended from one of
those families of Quaker beauties whom De
Lauzun celebrated, they bore the memory of
those romantic lives, as something very sacred
in hearts which, perhaps, held as genuine ro-
mances of their own. Miss Martha's sweet
face was softened by advancing deafness and
by that gentle, appealing look which comes
when mind and memory grow little DINNER
though the loving nature knows no change.
'Sister Amy says" she meekly confessed,
"that am losing my memory. But do not
care very much. There are so few things
worth rememberingp'
They kept honse together in sweet accord,
and were indeed trained in the neat Quaker
ways so thoroughly that they always worked
by the same methods. In opinion and emo
ton they were almost duplicates. Yet the
world holds no absolute and perfect CORE
spondence, aud it is useless to affect to con-
ceal-what was apparent to any intimate
guest-that there was one domestic question
on which perfect sympathy was wanting. Dur
ing THEFT whole lives they had never been able
to take precisely the same view Of the best
method Of grinding Indian meal. Miss Mar
tina preferred to have it from wind mill;
while Miss Amy was too conscientious to de-
ny that she thought it better when prepared
by water mill. She said firmly though gent
ly, that it seemed to her ''less gritty"
Living their whole lives in this scarcely bro.
ken harmony by the margin OF the bay, they
had long built together one castle IN the air.
They had talked of it for many an hour by
their evening fire, and they from their chamber
windows had looked towards the Red Light
on Rose Island to see If it were coming true.
This vision was, that they were to awake some
morning after an autumnal storm and to find
an unknown vessel ashore behind the house,
without name or crew or passengers; only
there was to be one sleeping child, with aris-
tocratic features and few yards of exquisite
embroidery. Years had passed, and their
lives were waning, without glimpse of that
precious waif of gentle blood. Once, in an
October night, Miss Martha had been awak-
ened by crash, and looking out had seen
that their pier had been carried away, and
that dark vessel lay stranded with her bow
spirit in the kitchen window. But daylight
revealed the schooner Polly Lawton, with o
cargo of coal, and the dream remained unlul-
filed. They bad never revealed it except to
each other.-Higginson's "Oldport Days"
