HO USE AED FABM.i ?. ' . A Little Domestic matter. We often wonder if it occurs to the majority of men that their wives hav e an interest in the family finan ceSt In manj?-cases, certainly, no uC ii thoughts seems ever ,to have entered their heads, and the results jre ev il in many ways. When two people marry, it- is fair to assnme that they wish to be happy, and that they intend to; labor to that enJ They have certain resources, and can count upon an income of so m nch. They have been accustom e(l to a certain style of living, and the nature and extent of their wants ars determined by their circumstan ces. : =. y o w the natural fed proper thing for them to do is| to so regulate t heir mode of living that tfeir ex penditures shall fall wUhiii- their inconm, and at the same time satisfy their wants ns fully as people in their ciicurastances can afford to have them satisfied. Indeed, every married pair must do this if they are to get along in life. We all want more than we can have, but we want some things far more than others, and with a limited ability to buy, we should select for purchase from the whole list of coveted com forts* those things which are, most essential to our happiness and well being. But to do this jhficiously it is necessary that there 1 shall be a complete understanding between the wo purchasing powers; that each shall know the extent of the means at command, so that the expendi tures ot each may be regulated ac- cordingly. In too many families the wife bo\vs nothing whatever of the hus band’s income. Some men thick it none of their wives’business. Others wish to spare their wives the trouble j and annoyance incident to money matters, and some are weak enough to desire that their wives may think them richer than they are. In all uch cases it is probably true that tile money question is a sure rock offense,' 1 as an esteemed lady cor pondent thinks it is in the ma ny of families. The wife de ne.!, uncertain as to the income be r husband, either spends more, an she should, or, in terror of anscedning the unknown limits of family exchequer, denies herself v things which she ought to ive and can afford to have. Women are not fools,’ and the iority of them are! more careful of future than men are. The wife bo knowingly wrecks her husband O * • 1 herself by extravagance is the e exception to an almost univer -1 rule. But while the husband rs broadcloth and smokes three four twenty cent cigars aday,the He who has no other way of guess* gai his income, is certainly not blame for thinking that he can anj her all the comforts and many the luxuries of life. Should he 1 her plainly what their income ily is-, she would in every case v herself all luxuries, and match little retrenchment .he might in the matter or cigars or 'tent leather boots, with a far •ater saving from her own bills.

The Secret of Good Dntter. Every one knows how superior is Philadelphia batter, and many have been the attempts to account for it. Perhaps the ikost popular notion was that it was due to the prevalence of the “sweet vernal grass” in the pastures andjbay fields, the grass which often gives so peculiar a fragrancb to meadow hay. But it needed very little reasoning to demolish such A theory as this. This grass is one of the poorest for hay or pasture purposes, and scarcely exists, except on cold clay lands, in partially shaded places near groves or low woods. Yet, while this grass is the exception, a very rare exception, in low pas tures, or in the hay fed to your cows, good butter is the liberal rule in all oar markets. It has long been the opinion of our best agricultural generalizes of facts that we owe much more of the sweetness of our butter to the abundance of springs' and spring* houses in our State, than to any thing peculiar which grows in our pastures. Milk has a peculiar affini ty for any odors in the atmosphere, and water has some; hence, what ever impurities may get into the atmosphere of the spring-house are drawn out by; ; the running water, and the very best security is provid ed against their being absorbed by the cream. i We notice this 1 npw through ob serving an inquiry whether the light of a kerosbne lamp in a dairy could possibly affect the quality of the butter; we should answer most decidedly in the . affirmative. odors of every description should be carefully avoided,df the very |best brand is desired. * C There is one little incident in this reputation ot Philadelphia butter which must never be forgotten. The followers of Penn made up a class of our original -farming population. With these cleanliness was espe- cially one of the virtues. It was not a mere sentiment that it was ‘/next to godliness,” but an every-day testimony in all they did. Aided in these cleanly practices by their numerous springB|and spring-houses we have little doubt we owe to them as to any other circumstances the eminent character which Philadel phia butter enjoys; and we believe that if other quarters would give es pecial attention to these little nice ties, as good batter might be had in. any part of the tlnion as here,—- Germantown Telegraph.
