Self Cillltnra OF None,

l have been, so far as the Fireside is
concerned, only locker on, but think
such a department a good thing in an
agricultural paper. Have, however,
thought The RaBul Fireside, like all
other social gatherings. rather too
much inclined to gossip; but hope
members will receive the criticism
kindly for though SO large and diverse,
all seem so happy / have no wish to
disturb the harmony by raising any
serious objection.
Think with NJ. H., Of Pamela Town
ship, that self-culture is q good subject
to discuss. For there can be but little
real, solid human culture-mental OF
physical other than self-cnltUre. III
earth culture, the soil is wholly passive,
| like clay in the potter's hands. But
there can be but little human develop
Iment without self effort, and this is
why our greatest men come up through
adversely, while the children Of the
rich are SO seldom noted for strength
Iof mind. With them there is so little
occasion for self oif0rt--s0 little. need
Iof their being taxed to their utmost
strength, iii order to accomplish the
desires and purposes Of life. The best,
the true teacher, is not the one who
Istuffs who Grams most, but he who
best succeeds III awakening thirst
for knowledge, and best directs how to
gain knowledge, and how to use the
mental powers When this is done,
the teachers mission is accomplished.
What the rising generation most needs
is thirst for wisdom; fol- in the midst
Iofabundance there is danger Of safety,
and then, as with dyspeptics, there is
a whine about there not being any
thing fit to eat. The means of knoWl-
edgo-"thick as Autumnal leaves"
|noW lie within the reach Of the poor
est. 'The gods help those who help
themselves, ? is what the ancient heath
Ell taught, and the Almighty governs
upon similar principles. He demands
prayer, and that implies to desire, to
seek, to make an effort, as the struggle
Of that piou5 old patriarch with the
angel well illustrates, when he said
Il will not let thee so, unless thou
bless me"
But as self-culture includes more
than mere literary requirements; be-
| ing as broad and varied ais humanity
| it need not become stale so soon as
those subjects alluded to by NJ H 1t
applies to all the duties and circun1-
stances of life. TO farmers, especially,
should it be Of interest in all it's bear
| ings; because Of the isolated condition
OF our class, being thus necessarily
cut off, in measure, from other help.
In the application Of this question to
the ornamentation Of home and the
supply Of fruit f0Y the family, I am
surprised at the Indifference Of farmers,
in q matter SO easily reuedied by self
help. There is no need of serving an
apprenticeship to learn to WhiteWash,
paint, OF even to graft, bud, and raise
ones own fruit trees. 90 TO Work,try,
do The best you can, and experience
will bring the desired knowledge; the
skill being in proportion to the care
and labor bestowed. This will not
only secure the desired objects, but
Will bring increase of knowledge and
strength Of mind, thus better fitting
one for all the duties Of life" PERI

The Country Of Roses.
ARISTOTLE

In the Bulgarian language, Schipka
means wild rose. The village, which
is at the bottom of the Balkan Pass,
crossed by the Russians, and which
bears the same name, consists of about
800 houses, the inhabitants Of which
are occupied in the cultivation and
sale Of roses. The principal town of
The Valley Ct Roses, at present ravag-
ed by war, is Kazanlik, which the
troops Of General Gourka lately seized
on. Count dc Moltke, in his letters on
the East, has the following remarks
on that region:
"The little town Of Kazanlik is hid
den in a small forest Of gigantic wal
nut trees. Even the mlnarets do not
sue coed in rising above the mountains
Of foliage and branches under which
they are buried. The abundance of
water il that district surpasses all CON
ceptiop just as in Lonbardy all the
fields and gardens are irrigated by
bitches and riYulets. Kazanlik is the
Cashmere Of Europe, the Gulstan Of
Turkey, the country Of roses. The
flower is not cultivated, as with us, in
pots and gardens; but in fields and in
burrows, like potatoes. Nothing can
be more charming than such a planta-
ton of roses. Millions upon millions
Of red leaves are spread over the bright
green of the rose field, and yet at this
moment not one quarter of the buds
are opened. At Kazanlik is made the
oil of roses which is Of such great
Yalue, and which is difficult to procure
unalloyed, even at Constantinople.'

From Western Rural
The Ole0margarine Trade,
servant

Neither the prejudice which in this
country is still general against butter
which is known to be other than the
product of the dairy, nor the law in
relation to the production and sale Of
such butter which was passed by the
state legislature at its last session,
says the Ne20 York Times, has caused
any reduction in the oleomargarine
produced, but a great change has new
ertheless resulted in the trade in the
article. Before the passage Of the act
referred to large proportion Of the
ole0mWgarine produced from the fat
Of animals Killed in the slaughter
houses in and around this city was
made into butter and sold in the
markets here; now nearly all that is
made is exported to England, France
and Germany, where no prejudice e1-
lists against it, and where it has been
manufactured publicly, and as publicly
sold, for many years. In highland it is
called ''butterine" and for all pastry
and cooking uses it is there deemed
better than the genuine product of the
dairy. So extensive has the exporta-
ton OF 0leomargarine, and butter
made from it, become already, that
during several months past the average
has been fully one million pounds per
month, and the quantity is limited TO
that amount because those who are
engaged in its manufacture cannot
find the material in suitable condition
for the production of more. In order
TO extract the little yellow globules,
called oleOmargarine, from the fat of
the slaughtered animals, it is necessary
that the fat shall be put under the re-
CURED process Immediately after being
taken from the animal. This makes
it a requisite that the manufactOry be
within ready reach of the slaughter
house; and in order to have the pro-
ductiOn of it profitable it is indispensa-
BILE that the works be placed
near to only very large slaughter
houses. In meeting these require
ments the producers of eleOmargarine
ale, of course, limited to the quantity
OF desirable fat which they can pro-
cure from their sources of supply, and
thus far all that they can secure does
not enable them to prepare for the for
eign market more than the quantity
named.
1t is considered strange that the law
governing the production and sale Of
ele0margarine butter was not also
made to apply to cheese. The bill as
it originally stood included cheese, but
the latter article was stricken out
through the influence, il is said. of
Hon. Horatio Seymour, who is said to
be interested in large dairy company
which manufactures oleomargarine
cheese. This company were in the
habit Of using the cream from their
milk for the production of butter, and
then producing large quantities of
cheese from combination of this
same eleomargarine with the skinned
milk left after the cream had been
taken for the production of butter
The law, as first framed, would have
forced them to baand their cheese as
containing eleomargarine, and that
they believed, would very seriously in
Jure its price here, where the effect of.
the use OF eleomargarine is not as well
understood as it is abroad.

settlement OF theL Lick Trust.

SAN FRANCIsCo, May 8.-The settle
ment of the Lick trust has evolved a
new phsse OF difficulty. At meeting
OF the society OF California Pioneers, last
night, resolution adopted by the direc.
tors was read, TO the effect that the
Board would consent TO the payment OF
$685., 900 to John II. Lick, IN addition to
the sum given to him by the late Jas.
Lick, provided that all the societies
sharing the bounty OF tho deceased
philanthropist should bear their proper
ton of the expense. These other socie.
ties had been led 70 tho belief that the
$685., 900 was % come out OF the residue
set apart to be divided equally
between the academy of Sciences and
Pioneers, and had filed their answer con-
sen.ing to the payment on that hypothe'
sis. The trustees Of the Lick estate eX-
pected two resldusry legatees to sccep,
that idea, and to come to-day into court
so that the whole matter could be closed
up by both residusry legstees. The 60
cieties, however, now refuse to consent
that all money required for the settle
ment should come out OF their purses ex.
clusive!y. Whether the other societies
will now consent to pay the deduction OF
fourteen per cent Of the :smount needed
of the specific bequests given to them is
a question to be settled hereafter. There
may be trouble in regard to limitation in
the estate yet.
