SOUTH AMERICAN BUTTER.-A pack
age of Danish butter. packed in tin,
seventeen months ago, in prime condi-
ton, was received by the President of
the Butter and Cheese Exchange at New
York, last week. 1t came from Bolivia,
where it had been sent from London,
and was accompanied by note stating
that if as good butter could be produced
here, New York would soon have control
of the trade of the South American mar
kets, as the cost of butter from London
was to great. A meeting of merchants
was held, when it was decided that, as
good butter could be made here, steps
should be at once taken to secure con-
troll of the South American trade. In
stead Of the wood, it will be packed in
tin, which is found to be superior.

PECUNIARY VALUE OF Cows.-The
Stock Journal says: There are, proba-
bly,, S500,00O,000 invested in COWS in
the United States. Unfortunately, a
great deal of this money is not we'll
used. 1t does not bring in the yearly
interest which it might and ought to
yield. The average profit which the or:
binary farmer receives from his COWS is
quite small. But they ought to pay
we'll. If they do not, it shows either a
lack of skill or else of care and attention
on the part of their owners. A great,
perhaps the greatest, cause of loss is,
most farmers keep poor COWS. A poor
COW hardly pays, while good one pays
a handsome profit 1t will cost but a
little more to keep good COW than a
poor one. The former will make from
six to eight pounds of butter per week
for forty-two weeks, worth say thirty.
five cents per pound, realizing an income
of from $68 to Sly, while the latter
making only three or four pounds /;
week for forty-two weeks, will bring
only $44 to $50 per year"

EGGs AS EOoD.-Would it not be wise
to substitute more eggs for meat in our
daily diet ? About one-third of the
weight of an egg is solid nutriment.
This is more than can be said of meat.
There are no bones and tough pieces
that have to be laid aside. A good egg
is made up of ten parts she'll, sixty parts
white, and thirty parts yolk. The white
of an egg contains sc per cent water !;
the yolk 50 per cent. The average
weight of an egg is about two ounces.
Practically an egg is animal food, and
yet there is none of the disagreeable
work of the butcher necessary to obtain
it. Eggs are best when cooked four min
utes. This takes away the animal taste
that is offensive to some, but does not so
harden the white or yolk as to make
them hard to digest. An egg if cooked
very hard is difficult of digestion, except
by those with stout stomachs; such eggs
should be eaten with bread and mastica-
ted very finely An excellent sandwich
can be made with eggs and brown bread.
An egg spread on toast is food fit for q
king, if kings deserve any better food
than anybody else, which is doubtful
Fried eggs are less wholesome than boiled
ones, An egg dropped into hot wateI
is not only clean and handsome but ;
delicious morsel. Most people spoil thu
taste of their egg by adding pepper ant
salt. A little sweet butter is the bes
dressing. Eggs contain much phospho
rus which is supposed to be useful t
those who use their brain much.-Poul

THE FARMERS CALLING.

The People quotes Ralph Waldo En-
ersons opinion of the farmer and the no.
bility of his calling. He says that the
farmer has grave trusts confded to him.
In the great household of nature, the
farmer stands at the door of the bread
room and weighs to each his loaf. The
glory of the farmer is that, in the divis-
ion of labor, it is mis- part to create. All
trade rests at last on his primitive au-
thority He stands close to nature; he
obtains from the earth the bread and
the meat. The food which was not, he
causes to be.
The first farmer was the first man,
and all historic nobility rests on posses
sion and use of land. Men do not like
hard work, but every man has an excep-
tional respect for tillage, and the feeling
that this is the original calling of his
race, that he himself is only excused from
some circumstance which made him del
egate it for time to other hands. 1t
he had not some skill which recommends
him to the farmer, some product tor
which the farmer will give him corn, he
must himself return into his place among
the planters.-And the profession has in
all eyes its ancient charm as standing
nearest to God, the first cause.
The beauty of nature, the tranquility
and innocence of the country-man, his
independence, and his pleasing arts
the care of bees, of poultry, of sheep, OF
COWS, the dairy, the care ofhay, of fruits,
of orchards and forests, and the reaction
of these on the workman in giving him a
strength and plain dignity, like the face
and manners of nature-all men &C.
knowledge All men keep the farm il
reserve as an asylum, where in case Of

No SABBATH.-Paris has no Sabbath.
and that fact has done more to Danish
Christianity than all the writings of
Voltaire; and Vienna has no Sabbath,
and that fact does more to annihilate
religion than ever did, the skepticism of
Frederick. Turn the Sabbath into a
day of sports and pastimes, of military
reviews and of pantomimes and theatri-
cal exhibitions, and not an infdel any
where would care a farthing about the
tones Of VOlney or Voltaire, about the
skepticism of Hume, the sneers of Glib

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE "A short
time ago a young man about twenty
wears of age arrived in Baltimore from
England and commenced to look for work
at his trade. After several days fruit
less search, the Gazette says, he entered
a large factory on Lombard street and
inquired for work The superintendent
asked him his name, where he was from,
and other particulars about his family.
He replied that his mother resided in
England and had reared him, his father
having quarreled with her when he was
an infant and had abandoned them, and
it was supposed that he had come to
America, but no tidings had been receiv-
ed from him. When the young man had
concluded, the superintendent, who, for
many years, has been employed by the
firm with whom he is at present engag
ed, said to the astonished youth, II am
yoor father ?" They discussed family
matters at length, and the father, hear
ing from his son that his wife had never
ceased to mourn their unfortunate differ
ence and his absence, determined to pro-
coed at once to Europe and bring her to
this country and endeavor in the future
years to atone for the mistakes and er-
rors of the past He secured employ
ment for his son, and, obtaining the nec-
essary leave of absence from his employ
ers, he sailed last week for England, in.
tending to bring back with him on hi'
return the wife from whom he had beer
so long separated.

CREAM CHEEsE.-To make this take
one quart of fresh cream, not scalded.
If not desired very rich, add one pint
of new milk, warm it by letting it stand
in hot water until it is about the heat of
milk from the COW; Add tablespoon
full of rennct, let it stand until it is
thick, then break it slightly with a
spoon, and place it in a frame eight
inches square and four inches deep, in
which previously place fine canvas
cloth. Press it slightly with weight
on loose board, to slip it inside the
frame. Let it stand twelve hours, and
then put finer cloth in the frame. A
little powdered salt should be put over
the cloth; leave it without the weight
it will be fit for use in day or two.

George Peters, the landlord of a hotel
near Lebanon, Penn, has voluntarily
confessed the commission of an unsuspect-
ed murder by him sixteen years ago.
AT that time he had just been married
and between him and his wife's brother
there was bitter feeling. This brother
ln-law came to his house on visit. and,
against his wishes, Mrs. Peters insisted
upon affording hospitable entertainment.
She went to the barn to catch fowl
which she intended to cook for dinner.
The husband angr lily followed, and or,
dered her to 90 back to the house. She
refused, and he struck her with a club,
crushing her skull and killing her. She
fell uuder horse, and nobody but the
guilty husband knew that the animal
had not kicked her to death. He saws
that ne was SO stricken with remorse
that nc twice took Intellectual doses Of
poison. Fight years ago he resolved t.
confess, but lacked the courage. He ha.
now surrendered himself to the Sheriff
and as there is no indication of INSANITY
his story is believed. .sFfE nsrs

How He STARTED OUT.-Henry J.
Raymond, member of Congress, Lieuten-
ant-Governor of the State of New York,
but better known as the founder and ed
itor of the New York Times, was the
son of a poor farmer. At the age of 20
he graduated at the University of Yer
mont. His father wanted him to 90 to
work on the farm. But young Raymond
had no inclination for farming. He felt
if he could get start in New York Ci-
ty, that he had the habits of industry
and the brains which would enable him
to do we'll. Moved by his sons earnest
ness, the father raised three hundred
dollars by mortgaging the farm, and
with that sum the future journalist went
to the city. There he studied law,
taught school, wrote for the newspapers
and was the first person, it is SAID, tt
write regular letters from New York tx
the country journals.
Horace Greeley, about that time, start
ed the New York Tribune, and bein!
acquainted with Raymond, invited hin
to do his writing in the Office For som
months he wrote at his borrowed desk
when, receiving liberal offer to teacl
school in the South, he determined t
accept it. Thanking Mr.. Greeley 70
his many courtesies, he informed him O
his intended departure
Il don't think said the kind-heart
ed editor who, like Raymond, was the
struggling for bread and position
there's any particular use Of your GO
ing way down there, Henry. You ough
to do as we'll here, and New York's
better place for you. How much al
you to get for teaching ?"
"Ten dollars week, and 1 can t ear
as much here"
80, we'll, you'd better stay. Writ
for the Tribune; I'll give you eight do
lars a week" -svg.
