In families where the dairy Is small,
a good plan to have the butter cool
and firm without ice is by the process
of evaporation, as prae iced III India
and other warm countries. \ cheap
plan is to get a very large sized, por-
pus, earthen fower-pot, with n large
saucer. Half fill the saucer with wat

such as is used for holding hot
irons will do upon this set your but'

and be covered by the water; then
close the hole in til bottom with
cork then dash water over the flower

will readily evaporate the water iron

the business men of Lewiston are
opening their eyes to the fact that the
prospects for the tlourishing town are
destroyed by one insignificant obstacle7
Is it possible that they begin to see |
that little whitley dig" stores with
very limited credit are availing them |
selves of the high ferriase, and secur-
ing tho trade that Lewiston might
have by clearing away obstructionsl
A free ferry is what this town and
country have long needed; is what the
sentiment Of the whole community de-
mands, and are there none with cour-
age enough to speak,
Are, the merchants and business
men Of this place to crouch and COVER
like helabored hound beneath one
mans lash! If so let every man with
any spirit Of enterprise, hunt some
other field and give up his cherished
hopes and abandon poor Lewiston to
her master But the spirit Of the ago
does not admit the yielding of the
rights of a community to an individual.
this age is distinguished above all
others for commercial enterprise,
But commerce cannot he carried on
unless the avenues OF commerce are
open. Government recognize this
fact, hence the little unplcasantrcss at
one time of other governments with
China and now with Corea.
am informed that a free ferry can
be put across the river. far the trihine
sum of ten, or at most fifteen hundred
dollars. Now whoever heard of tht
bright prospects of flourishing town
so utterly blasted by the need Of sucl
little assistanc Why is not this as
) sistancc readily rendered. 1t is no
because our merchants and business
men are unable, but it is cowardice

Wycliffe How half thousand years are sped
Since to the music of our English tongue
Thy thin white fingers cunningly did wed
What holy men of old have said or sung
First Protestant First scholar for the poor
The first to tell in modern, fireside speech
To homely folk in their own cottage door
What living truths those sacred lips did teach
As swims into the sky the early star
To lead from shades the brightness of the day
So through the centuries thou art seen afar,
Clear, when our dawn was misty, cold and gray.
Hard was thy task o scholar, struggling on
Against the bitter hate of monk and priest,
Worried and sick; and yet thy work, full done,
Still follows thee now entered into rest.
Bend from thy rest, If it be given, saint
Pale, worn and bafHed in thy toll no more
Hank how thy language, tuneful, clear, and
quaint
Tells the glad tidings upon every shore
What though thine ashes in their feeble wrath
Thy foes upon the wandering waters flung?
The waters, conscious, smoothed for them path
Ger all the tides where lands and isles have
sprung.
And when thy works millennium shall be-
Can that millennium yet linger long
When Ger all nations Truth has victory,
And Peace lifts up her sweet and endless song ?
