Guernsey Butter.

George Z. Waring, Jr, thus describes
the Guernsey mode of butter making,
which in many ways will run counter to
the theories of our best butter makers ::
"In Guernsey the milk is never SKINNED.
1t stands in large crooks, or stone jars
similar TO the oil jars of Ali Bahia, until,
the cream has all risen and until the
milk has become thick. tits then poured
into an enormous churn and churned by
hand, with a common up-and-down dash
er, until the butter comes, often four
hours. The churning is usually done
twice a week, but the cream is far from
maintaining a good appearance to the
end of the time. In some OF the Older
settings, in the only dairy which | had
an opportunity of examining, the cream
was wrinkled like raisin and covered
with mould. The dairy-man said they
did not like to see it so far gone as that,
that it would sometimes get mouldy, but
that it made no difference to the butter.
Probably the volume of milk is sufficient
to wash off any impurities; certainly the
butter of this dairy gave no evidence OF
any fault in the process. There was no
opportunity to compare the butter made
by this process with that made from
cream alone, as it is universal in this
island. All the butter that | saw was
exceptionally good, but this was prob
ably due in great measure to the char
acter of the cows and the excellence of
their keep. We had less occasion to ex-
anime there than in Jersey, or we should
very likely have found the same varieties
as there"

silence OF the parents grew really oppres-
siye had the players bot known il. But
they made no note Of H. They played
on, and all interests were swallowed up
in the game. An hour passed and then
half hour more. II was now ten o'sloek.
AS the hour struck the old gentleman
looked up from his paper in which he
had been absorbed tor some little time,
glanced at the players then upon the face
of his wife, and imm ediately went off into
such fit of suppress ed laughter, that the
effort made to control il very nearly pre-
cipitated him into a case OF apoplexy.
Fortunately, or rather unfortunately the
players did not notice this agitation.
Had they looked up they could not
have failed to have noted the terribly dis
tressed expression of the mothers face
in which case the young man would have
understood that some family misfortune
made the presence of an outsider very un-
pleasant a half hour more passed. The
young man threw down the cards and
said he must 60. The young lady hay
ing thoroughly enjoyed the game felt inn
PEELED to say to him, Don't be in Il
hurry it is early yet, and had almost ut
tered the fateful words when her glance
encountered the stony expression upon
her mothers face, and the words died
upon her lips, while thrill Of fear shot
through her heart. The young man took
his hat, turned TO bid the family pleas
ant good night, when his gaze fell upon
the face of the mother, and the same
thrill pierced his heart. He withdrew
without a word, using all the haste pos
sible, and went upon the street to his
home in a daZed state of mind.
He learned accidentally a few days
later the cause of it all. The old lady
havinga severe cold, had taken the pre-
caution TO soak her feet in hot water be-
fore retiring, and her feet were in the
pail receiving the proper treatment when
the young man was unexpectedly usher
ed in. As her skirts fell over the vessel
he failed to note the fact,and consequent
ly prolone ed his stay two solid hours.
What the temperature of the water had
become at that hour cen easily be ina
gined, but what were the thoughts that
passed through the miserable woman's
distracted mind Turing those two hours
no one can fathoin. Even she finds her
self unable to clearly define them, al
though she has talked of but little else
since the awful night.

A Family Mystery.

Prom the Doubury News.
II certainly was an extraordinary al
falr. ana the parties interested viii re-
member il as long as they live. The
Young lady was shopping in the evening.
On her way home she was overtaken by
Young man, an acquaintance, who asked
the pleasure Of escorting her home The
offer was accepted, and the ~ pro-
ceeded, he carrying her bundles, and
making himself generally agreeable, as IS
the custom in such cases. Arriving at
her home she took him direct into the
sitting room as the parlor stove was not
vet up. The father and mother were sit
ting there, enjoying, evidently, the genial
warmth of the fire. On the entrance the
Young man noticed that the mother
bluShed deeply. and at the same time her
husband laughed outright.
Itwas most boisterous laugh, without
evident generalization, and appeared to
owe its origin TO no assignable cause. The
laugher gave no explanation after the ex-
plosion, but continued to look very much
amused, while the color in his wife's face
deepened. To the young man this was
most embarrassing reception. Naturally
enough he felt that it was something in
his appearance that excited the mirth OF
the one and caused the bushes of the
other. Involuntarily he took hasty sur
vey Of his appearance as far as the cir
cumstanees would allow, out could per-
ceive nothing therein calculated to upset
the disabilities Of any man or unduly
agitate the bosom of any woman. Still
he was not at his ease, and the young
Iodv ,3s.Nern;n<r II and falling 10 under
stand the action of her parents, proposed
euchre as an offset.
So the two played, and the old gentle
man continued to look amused, occasion
ally varying this accomplishment By face
tious winks at his wife whose counte-
nance was alternately red and white.
The young man became so absorbed in
the game that be forgot the peculiarly
of his reception, and the young lady di-
viding her attention between the cards
and his face lost sight Of the trouble.
And 80 they played and played, while the

The prisoner was taken TO the police
station. On searching his room. the
money stolen so adroitly from ANNE was
discovered concealed therein.
Great was the JOY o. the sisters on re-
ceIving it. They are now living in the
coy little house purchased with the re-
covered money, and are as happy as the
day is long; while the author OF their
misfortune IS lodging in the fine house
known as the Portland Prison, as quiet

be. Annie is careful tdwhom she intrusts
