HOW TO PE0M0TE DOMESTIC
. HAPPINESS.
Fal J Mr. Smith to Mr. Brown,
A they were walking through the town,
" Where do you do your shopping T
Tli lit dress you re in, so neat and fiuo,
That when I see it, really mine
Look positively shocking."
'I'm sure your husband, Mr. Brown
Now don't b angry, pout and frown
Is not so rich as mine,
And yet you can afford to buy
Just twice a much, or wore than I,
And bow, I eaunot divine."
Savs Mr. Brown to Mr. Smith :
" The reason you'll be startled with,
It is so siuiplo. clear
You buy on credit, I for eosh,
I buy bargain, you buy trash,
I cheap, while yon pay dear.
Whene'er you want dre or shawl,
A collar, hose, or what-not, oall
At the choap Mammoth Storsj,
They'll sell you goods so very low
That yon will eaaae to wonder ao,
How much rich good I've wore.
'My husband, aa you truly ay,
I poorer, far, than yvura.to-day,
And yet I ean buy mure.
Because each dollar of his few
Is, to ue, Juat a good as two,
At lb cheap Mammoth tTu."
So satisfied was Mr. Bmlth
With Air. Brown' uew arith-
uetio, which did convince
The first, and opened o her eye.
She hasn't oeand to palrunlae
The Mammoth ever sine.
And now, when yoa ebano to meet
liar husband, 8uiilh, upon the street,
Arouud the eorner ooming.
His faoe I lighted with a smile,
II i step elaslia l the while
A pleasant tune be humming.
Ladies, if like effect you'd saa
In your dear pna, which yoa) And he,
Perehanee, nea'r saw bafure.
Just Mr. Brown's pnaoripiiua try,
And all your list of Dry tloods buy
At the cheap Mammoth fruMH.

"Hi have tj,go, Mary", there's no help for
it." -....
Sho looked hp the lady to whom these
words -were addressed -in a 'way which
showed that it had stf nek and hurt her.
She was scolloping child's skirt, and tho
needlework had followed her rapid fingers
along the flnnncl like a line of snowy foam ;
but now tho work Ifll, unheeded, to the
floor. ''
"Ah, John, has it come to that I" asked
Mary, the wife of John ' Malcdlm and the
soft "bloom in horcheeks, Vanished awav, and
the words were spoken with a kind of gasp,
as though just beneath thenv lay a mighty
swell and rush of feelings that well nigh
overpowered her voice. - .
"Yes, Murv, it musAjCome. God knows
I've struggled as hard as any man could to
weather tlie storm, and f could have dono it
too, if those Western houses hadn't gone un
der. But they'll carry us with it."
"I can't realize It yet, John," site said
looking nt him In a half-l)cwildered, half
frightened way, that wais pitiful to see : the
shock, for the - inomontj had half stunned
her. ' - " ' '" ' '
'O, Mary it wns hardest for your sake!"
and the words came in a sharp groan which
is terrible to hear from the lips of a strong
man. The tones roused her at once into a
full consciousness of what had befallen them
and of the part she must bear in it,
"Don't John dont take it so hard,'' her
voice struggling tip through a sob into a
note of cheerfulness, and her lips fashioning
a litnile, which, though weak at first, you
felt certain would irrow Btronpir, all the
stronger each moment just as you feel tho
sweet promise of the day when the first faint
sunbeams struggle weakly out of the morn
ing s mist. "
"I could have borne up, Mary, if it hadn't
been for you and tbo children ; but that
thought cuts rue to thu core it's more than
I r;m biw."
And for thu first time the young wifo and
mother heard a sob from the lips of her hus
band, ns he bowed down on the arm of his
chair. The pride of his manhood gave way
nt last, mid John Malcolm wept liko a little
child. Then the woman's heart, the wo
man's power to cheer, and comfort, and
strengthen,' roused themselves ; the waves
went over her but one moment, and then
Man' Malcolm forgot herself, and rose up to
the height of her true womanhood to the
exaltation of self sacrifice. -
"John," said the soft? bravo voice, "don't
say that again. Let everything else fail 5
the heart of your wifo never will."
And now she had come close to him, and
ho felt her small arms about bis neck, and
her head lay on his shoulder, as tender, as
confiding as in their days of brightest pros
perity, AH through line day he liau been
looking forward ta this hour, and shrinking
awav from it : and onte 6r twice God for
give hint he had -t'aucei out of his office
window to the river, which rolled Its dark
sullen waters in the distance, and a fierco
temptation had rushed over mm, to drop
everything aud hurry out there and bury all
his pain and anguish under the dark, crum
pled sheet of water. But John, in his se
cret distress, knew that the temptation was
the voice of the devil entering his soul ;
ho was a man who feared God and kept his
commandmcnU he put the temptation
aside,
The youn" huslmud had not doubted Lis
wife's heart for a moment : but he expected
to see her almost stricken to the earth, with
the first tidings of the ruin of the house in
wlncli be was the heaviest partner, lie
knew that her youth had becu atuturcd in
all tho grace and luxury that wealth confers,
and he feared the thought of going into the
chill aud darkness of poverty. Ho had not
looKeu lor louu lameutalions, or bitter re
proaches, but ho dreaded the ailcut tears,
tho mute despair of the white luce.
bo John Malcoln raised 111s not lace,
stained with the tears that were shed for
her sake, and looked into the eyes of his
wife ; and she answered hiin with a smile
that set her lace in a new sacreduess aud
beauty to her husband's eye a sniilo so
sweet and tender to him, so brave and defi
ant for the worst the world could do for
them, and It said to him at once all that her
words would and could not.
"Ah, Mary, my wile," said tho merchant.
"I thought when I camo into my house an
hour ago, that I was a ruined man ; I feel
now as though I was a very rich one."
"Ruined, with me and the children,
John?" and now there was a faiut reproach
in her voice ; but she cluug closer to lam.
"But, Mary, poor child, you dou't know
what it is to be poor, to give up so much of
grace and luxury, to which you have been
accustnmoa."
"You ay that, John, before vou've tried
me, and seen what spring of courage and
powers or sell tacritice tbey are iu my na
ture." The noble words had a fitting emphasis
in the sweet smile in the steadfast, dauut
less tones.
"But we shall have to give up the house,
Mary."
"Well, wo can feel just as happy in a
smaller one. Our love has a broader foun
dation than stately roums and costly furni
ture. We'll take a cosy little cottage some
where in the country, aud for threo servants
get along with one."
Hearing these words, John Malcolm look
ed at his wife, but he did not say then what
was in his heart a tkunkagiving to God for
tho angel He had sent to walk with him.
He took her hand and held it rloee iu his,
while he told lu rof a temptation which had
beset hint before the failure of his bouau ln
rame certain a temptation by yielding to
whirh lie could have saved himself from
failure. But it mut have Wvn by dishonest
means, by taking advantnge of others In his

Scene In (he Illlnolis I.ecialnta
Speech or m llrave Old Putrlot.
The Springfield correspondence of the
Missouri "Democrat" contains the following
account of an exciting scene in tho late Illi
nois Legislature : . '
A trrent sensation was created lv a speech
by Mr. Funk, one of the richest farmers in
the Stato, a man who pays over three thou
sand dollars per annum taxes towards the
support of the Government. The lobby and
gallery were crowded with spectators. Mr.
Funk rose to object to trifling resolutions
which were bum" introduced by the Demo
crats, to kill time and stave off a vote upon
tno appropriation lor tnc support ot Uc
Stato Government. Ho said :
Mr. Sneaker I can sit in my scat no longer
and see such by-play going on. These men
are trilling with tho best interests of the
country. They should have asses' cars to
set off their heads, or they arc traitors and
becessioiiLsta at heart.
I say that there arc traitors and Secession
ists at heart in this Senate. Their actions
provo it. Their speeches prove it. Their
gibes, and laughter, and cheers here nightly
when their speakers get up to denounce the
war and the administration, prove it.
I can sit here no longer, i.nd not tell these
traitors what I think of them. And while
so telling them, I am responsible, mysclf,;for
wnat l say. 1 stand upon my own bottom.
I am ready to meet any man on this floor, in
any mauuer, from a pin's point to the mouth
of a canuon, upon this chargo aguinst these
traitors. Tremendous applause in the gal
leries.! I am an old mau of sixty-five : I
camo to Illinois a poor boy : I have made a
littlo something for invseifAand family. I
1ay three thousand dollars a year in taxes.
. am willing to pay six thousand, ayetwelve
thousand, I threat checriu":, thu old gentleman
striking the desk with a blow that would
knock down a bullock, and catisinu the ink
stand to fly in tho air ayo, I am willing to
pay my whole tortunc, and then give my lilu
to save my country from these traitors who
are seeking to destroy it. Tremendous
applause, which tho Speaker could not con
trol. Mr. Speaker, you must pleaso excuse me,
I could not sit longer in my seat and calmly
listen to theso traitors. My heart, that feels
for my poor country, would not let me. My
heart, that bleeds for the widows and orphans
at homo, would not let me. Yes, these trai
tors and villains in this Senate striking his
clenched Cat on the desk with a blow that
made the Semite ring again are killing my
neighbors' boys, now fightiug in tho field.
I dare to say this to these traitors right here
aud I am responsibly fur what I say to any
oue or all of them. Cheers. Let them
come on now, right here. I am aixty-five
years 01a. and 1 iiavo made up my mind to
riak my life right here, on this floor, for my
country. (Mr. Funk's seat is near tho lobby
railing, and a crowd collected arouud him,
evidently w ith the Intention of protecting
him from violence, if necessary. The lust
aiiuouucement was received with great cheer
ing, and 1 saw many an eye Dash, aud many
a countenance grow radiaut with the light
of dedauce.)
These men sneered at Colonel Mack a few
days since. Ho is a small man. But I am
a largo man. I am ready to meet any of
them in place of Colonel Slack. I am large
t-iioiifih for I hem, aud I hold myself ready
for them now and at any tituu. Cheers
from tho galleries.
Mr. Speaker, these trailers on this floor
should be provided with hempen collars.
Tbey di-serve them. They doaerve hanging,
I say, (raising his voice aud violently strik
ing the desk,) the country would be the
I tier of swinging them up. I go fur hang
ing thi in, and 1 dare to Ull them an, rl-ht
here to their traitorous facta. Traitor
should be hung. It would 1 the sal v alum
if the country to hang Ihutu. For that rea
son I rejoice at It. T rutuuttdoua cheering.
Mr. hpruker, I bei par dug of the geutUuisu

loyal lucit, for hat 1 have aal.l, I uuij

tfiera gilMJ, and smirk, and grin at the true
Union man. i .. .
Must I defy , them t I eland ready for
them and dare thorn to oomo on. Great
cheering. What man with the heart of a
Iiatriot could stand this treason any longer
have stood it long enough ; I will stand it
no more. JChccnM.--1 denounce these men
and their aiders and abettors as rank traitors
and secessionists. Hell itself could. not anew
out a more traitorous crew than somo of the
men that disgrace this Legislature, this
state aud this country, i or myself, I pro
test against and denounce their treasonable
acts. I have voted against the measures ; I
will do so to tho end. I will denounce them
as long as God gives mo breath ; and I am
ready to meet the traitors themselves here or
elsewhere, ad fight them to the death.
Prolonged cheers and shouts. I
I said I paid three thousand dollars a Vcar
taxes. I do not say it to brag of it. It is
my duty, yes, Mr. 8peakcr, my privilege, to
do it. - But soma of tbs- traitors here, who
are working night and day to put th6ir
miserable littlo bills and claims through the
Legislature, to take money out of the pock
ets of the people, are talking of high taxes.
They are hypocrites as well as traitors. I
heard somo of them talking about high taxes
in this way, who do not pay five dollars to
the support of tho Government. I denounco
them as hypocrites as well as traitors,
rcheers.1
The reason, they pretend to be afraid of
high taxes Is, that they do not want to vote
money for the relief of the Boldicrs. They
want to embarrass the Government and stop
the war. They want to aid the Secessionists
to conquer our boys in the field. They euro
about high taxes I They arc picayune men,
anyhow, and pay no taxes at all, and never
hope or exect to. This is an excuse of
traitors. Cheers.
Mr. Speaker : Excuse me. I feel for my
country, in this her hour of danger, from tho
tips of my toes to tho ends of my hair. That
is the reason I speak as I do 1 I cannot help
it. I am bound to tell these men to their
teeth whnt they nrc, and what tho people,
tho true loyal people, think of them. Tre
mendous cheering. Tho Speaker rapped
upon his desk, apiarently to stop it, but
really to add to its volume, for I could see
by his flushed cheek and flashing eye that
his heart was with tho brave and loyal old
gentleman. j
Mr. Speaker: I have said my say. I am
no speaker. This is the only speech I havo
mado, and I do not know that it deserves to
be called a speech. I could not sit still nny
longer and see these scoundrels and traitors
work out their hellish schemes to destroy
tho Union. They havo my sentiments ; let
them one and all make the most of them.
I am ready to' back up all I say, and I
repeat it, to meet these traitors in any man
ner they may choose, from a pin ' point to
the mouth of a cannon. (Tremendous ap
plause, during which the old gentleman sat
down, after ho had given the desk a parting
whack which sounded loud alwvo the din of
cheers and clapping of hands.)
- I never before witnessed so much excite
ment in an assembly. Mr. Funk spoke with
a force of natural eloquence, with a convic
tion and truthfulness, with a fervor and
pathos which wrought up tho galleries, and
even the members on the floor, to the high
est pitch of excitement. His voice was
heard in the stores that surround the square
and the people came flocking in from all
quarters. Iu five minutes ho had an audi
ence that packed the hall to its utmost ca
pacity. After he had concluded the Repub
lican memliers and spectators rushed up and
took him by tho hand to congratulate him.
The Democrats said nothing, but evidently
felt the castigation they were receivina;most
keenly, as miht 1)8 seen from their blanch
ed cheeks and restless and uneasy glances.
The 1ilnene Rebellion.
Erom the London News, Jann&jy 30.
The Chinese news by the present mails is
interesting, and the telegraph informs us
last night's Gazette contained an account of
a defeat of a largo body of Rebels by a mix
ed force of imperial Chinese troops and of
disciplined troops under an English officer.
The effect of the victory will be, it is said,
to clear the country for thirty miles round
Shanghae, for years to come, Amongst the
Chinese news of tho Times we find tl' at when
their letters left "tho preparations for the
attack on Nanking were in progress ; but
littlo was known of details. A battle 1
tween the imperialists, encamped closo to
that city, and a largo body of reikis, is re
ported, in which tho latter arc said to have
had tho best of it nt the beginning, but to
have been eventually defeated." We also
find a few details of the attack on Shnng-Yu
by the French' contingent, with a ldy of
disciplined Chinese: "Tho priucipal fight
was at entrenched camps in advance of the
city, the latter having la-en evacuated during
the preceding niirht. Captain Drew, of her
Majesty's ship Encounter, arrived towards
the closo of tho affair, and was ono of the
first in the town. Ou tho French and Im

and fourteen wounded i that of the enemy

Shang-Yu. A proclamation is said to have
been issued by the authorities of Ningpn,
calling on the people to give a friendly re

AGRICULTURAL.
On Uatter..VIukinyr.
The following extracts are from a lecture
of Mr. Jamej Duinbrill, one of tho most ex-
tensive dairy farmers of England, before the
London Farmer's Club t
Our next consideration will be in the in
door depattmcntj and in the first place, it
is strongly to bo recommended, where it is
practicable, that tho dairy be a distinct es
tablishment away from the residence of tho
proprietor. A dairy maid's duties are too
onerous to allow of any distraction, and we
all know that domestic events will happen
at times which require the whole strength
of the company. The marriage of a daugh
ter or the birth of a son might be tolerated ;
but there are tho most frequent occurring
dinner parties, great washes, brewing davs,
tPc., when even the Important duties of the
dairy become secondary. Therefore, it- is
dcsirablef to place the dairy under tho care
of responsible servants who hava no otlux
duties. A man and his wifo and a boy aro
sufficient staff to manage a dairy of twenty-'
five cows. The dairy-room should be used
for nothing but its legitimate purpose, the
reception of milk. Tho floor should be a
few feet under ground, dry and airy, and
shaded from the sun 5 the benches should '
be of open wood word. It should be heated"
in winter with hot water pipes, so as to
maintain a temperature of about fifty-six de-'
grees : this is tho easiest mode of applying
artificial heat, and as cflicacious as any."
From experiments which I have made rtpoV
tho application of heat to milk, I have found -that
a sustained temperature of fifty-six de
grees raises as much of the cream as can bo
raised, and that although by increasing tho
temperature by direct application of heat,
cither by applying boiling water or by
placing tho paus of milk on a hot plate, tho
cream may be drier and appear thicker, yet,
there is in reality no increase of butter. A
dry, warm temperature, and a current of air"
through tho room, are the best conditions
for raisins cream : a heavv datnD atmos
phere the worst. Tho milk pans should be
01 tin, oblong, with rounded corners. With
round pans too much bench room is wasted.
With earthenware pans the lactic acid will,
after a time, destroy the glazing ; and glass
pans chip too easily. A great many new in-,
ventions iu the way of churns have enjoyed
a brief existence, but the old fashioned box
and barrel churns still hold their own against'
all comers,
Now comes tho great secret of successful
butter-making, namely, churning frequently.
Butter, to be perfect, must be churned every
day, or, at any rate, every other day. The
cream must not be in a Btate of dccomposi-i
tion, or you cannot possibly have Rood but
ter. Great attention must bo paid to this
poiut, and tho most scrupulous cleanliness is
required in every part of the management ;
and then, no matter npon what the cows are
fed, whether white turnips or swedes, or
whatever it may be, there will bo no disa
greeable taste found. Another thing that
conduces very much to tho production of a
good quality of butter, is a succession of
treslt- calving cows. In a largo dairy care
should be taken to have, as nearly as possi
ble, an equal number of cows calvo every
month throughout the year. Cows should
be dry for six weeks licfore calving, and du
ring that time should be removed to moro
roomy stalls, with a largo looso box to calvo
in. At this limo the treatment must depend
upon circumstances ;' but in a general way
tho less done for the animal the better, and
the moro bIio is left to nature the better.
Another point rcmaius to be considered
tho application of skim milk. This may bo
cither used for cheese making or for rearing
and fattening pigs. The quality of checso
made from skim milk is of course very infe
rior, particularly from Aldcruey cows ; for
although their produco is richer in cream
than any other breed, the milk after tho
separation of tho cream, is tho poorest
The fattening of pigs to a small weight is
far more profitable, and forms rather an im
portant item in "dairy management" They
will require very littlo corn, as uothiug fat
tens young pigs faster than milk.
