FRUITS, MI:TABLES, JELLIES, IYIN FS, CIDER, &c.
Without Sugar, and without Expansive Sealing

lone of nine or Cider.
CHEAP, lIDALTDFUL AND EFFECTUAL.
This Solution, when properly used, effectually pre
vents fermentation or decoy of Fruits, and, by the most
simple and inexpensive process. every variety may be
kept in a fresh and perfectly wholsome condition the
year round. It Is no new and uncertain experiment,
but has been in practical use for the past eight years,
yet has been, for the most part, kept from the public for
the purpose of ascertaining the re'elt of a series of ex
pel iments, all of which have proved Ike validity of all
that is now confidently claimed for it.
Fruits preserved by this Solution are as good as the
best "canned" fruits, while the ass of the solution avoids
the trouble of sealing, costly jars or coos, keeping from
the air and light, frequent examinations, and the many
other troubles and annoyances troll known to every
housewife.
Ft esh native fruits the year round ban become almost
a household necessity, both on Occount of their healthful
flees and as a luxury; and by the use of this solution this
groat luxury is within the reach of every family, rich or
poor, In the land, na all kinds of fruit may be preserved
during pleasure at less than ono•half the expense of any
other method.
The solution is perfectly free from 'objection on tbe
score of health. Professor Bache, under date "U. 9. Na
val Laboratory, New York, September 14, 1564," says :
"By direction of tho Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and
Surgery, 1 hero examined your Preserving Solution, and
meats nod fruits preserved by it. I have is high opinion
of its value, and believe it can be used in the preserva
tion of those articles in is fresh stote for the army nod
navy very advantageously. The Solution Is pet teeny
free front objection on the score of healtbfulttets."
Other certificates from distinguished chemists, confirm
ing the above, can be seen nod had where the solution Is
sold. It it claimed:
1. That Spear's Solution preserves the flavor of all
kinds of native fruits more perfectly and durably than
can ho done in any other way, and et much less trouble
and expense;
2. That the use of the Solution renders it unnecessary
to use airdiglit or expensive jars or cans, and also avoids
the inconvenience 05 hermetically sealing and keeping.
from the air, heat. light., etc.;
3. That Cie Ilfie of the Solution admits of the keeping
of the fruit Ia vessels orally aloe, even in kegs or barrels
if desirable;
4. That the use of the Solution allows the shipment of
the fruit by salt or fresh *inter, in the hottest weather,
nitbuut danger of loss or injury ;
O. That it is invaluable in the preserving of Tomato,
peach, pear, Apple, Quince told other Sauces, %Vines and
Cider; also for all kinds of Spiced Fruits; that these alone
recommend It to every family, and to um it once wilt
guarantee their approval.

SEPTEMBER DAYS
In flickering light and shade the broad stream
goes,
With cool, dark nooks and checkered, rip
pling shallows ;
Through reedy fens its sluggish current flows,
Where lilies grow and purple blossomed
mallows.
The aster-blooms above its eddies shine,
With pollonod bees about them bumming
slowly,
And in the meadow-lands tho drowsy kino
Making musio with their sweet bolls, tink
ling slowly.
The shrill cicala, on the hillside tree,
Sounds to its mate a note of love or warn
ing,
•And turtle-doves re-oeho, plaintively,
From upland fiolds, a soft, melodious
mourning.
A golden haze conceals tho horizon,
A golden sunshine slants across the mea
dows;
The pride and prime of Summer-time is gone,
But beauty lingers in these Autumn shad
owe.
The wild-hawk's shadow fleets across the
grass,
Its softened gray the softened green out
vying ;
And fair scenes fairer grow while yet they
pass,
As breezei freshen when•the day is dying.
0 erceet September ! thy first breezes bring
The dry leaf's rustle and the squirrel's
laugh tor,
The cool, fresh air, whenco health and vigor
spring,
Am! promiso of exceeding joy hereafter.
Society,
What is society, anyhow? A clique
assembles and calls itself society. An
other clique assembles and announces
that it is society also. Perhilts an
other clique may arise, and many oth
ers, and each clique wars against the
others, sneers and backbite; and as
sumes all sorts of airs. All this re
minds us of the circles in Dante's "In
ferno," where the different grades of
punishment are meted out. But the
sufferings, the heart-hurnings and bit
terness of the sufferers in the "Inferno"
are nothing• compared with those in
the different circles of society. The
dreadful struggle to "rise" and gain
"position" is something so utterly fool
ish that we can (to be charitable) only
pity those who make innumerable sac
rifices to gain another step on the lad
der of fashion, which is like Jacob's
ladder, only devils, instead of angels,
ascend and descend.
Oh, the struggles to got into Mrs.
Washington Highflyer's "set!" Oh,
the insults and slights to be undergone
in the attempt ! Poor, silly creatures!
Better be happy in a quiet way, know
ing those for whom you care sincerely,
than sacrifice almost everything on the
altar of the inexorable god, Mammon,
in an endeavor to be envied by ir select
few who belong to the "old families,
whose grandfathers fought in the Rev
olution, my dear, (and were probably
Hessians!) and who can trace their
descent from the Poldoody's who camp
over after the battle of Hastings." In
this free land—this now land—where
there aro no kings or queens or Milor
Beefs, the attempt to scare up an aris
tocracy is amusing. Tusb, tush ! What
if your father was a butcher, or a shoe
maker, or a drayman? Was ho an
honest man ? Ayo, sir, ho was indeed!
Thank God for that, then, and be proud
of him !
Wo are all snobs. The sons and
daughters of the butcher or shoemaker
or drayman aro sorry their fathers
were such. Reasonable enough! Would
they could have boon landed gentle
men. But because they were not, is
no reason why the children should
blush for them. Pride is a good thing
—it teaches us to live honorably, for
our own sakes and tho sake of our obit
dren—but when it tends to snobbish
nose, it is time to check it, Avoid "so
ciety." It is a social poison, and Mrs.
Washington Highflyer is a cobra di
capello. Live happily—livo for your
family—and as for "society"— bah, we
won't mention it! Lot it go! It is a
laughable delusion, and . we, who have
not the glamour over our eyes, can
smile pityingly when wo see its vota
ries offering up everything at its shrine,
and then falling dead before the heart
less deity on discovering that all their•
efforts have come to naught.
Vol:cum LANGUAGE —Thorn is as
much connection between tho words
and thoughts as there is between the
thoughts and the actions. The latter
aro not only the expressions of the for
mer, but they have the power to react
upon the soul and leave the Stain of
their corruption there. A young man
who allows himself to make use of one
vulgar or profane word has not only
shown that thera is a foul spot upon
hie mind, but by the utterance of that
word ho extends tho spot anti inflames
it, till, by indulgence, it will pollute
the whole soul. , Bo careful of your
words, as they show your thoughts.
If you can control the tongue so that
no improper words aro pronounced by
it, you will soon be able to control the
mind, and save that from corruption.
You will extinguish the fire by smoth
ering it, or by preventing bad thoughts
from bursting out in language. Never
utter word anywhere which you
would be ashamed to speak in the
presence of the most refined femalo or
religious man. Try this practice a lit
tle while, and you will soon have com
mand of yourself.

Letter from Mr. Wm, Lloyd Garrison
on the Temperance Question,
The London Daily News, of Septem
ber 4th, publishes the following : The
usual annual fete and concert of the
Band of Hope Union, and other socie
ties connected with the temperance
and total abstinence movement, took
place yesterday at the Crystal Palace.
The attendance was immense—the
central transept and the nave and side
aisles for a considerable distance on
either side between crowded almost to
excess. Considerable disappointment
was occasioned by the announcement
made at the commencement of the pro
ceedings that Mr. William Lloyd Gar
rison-, whose name had been published
as one of the intended speakers, would
not be present, and in the course of the
day the following letter from that gen
tleman was road :
GENEVA, Switzerland, Aug. 30.—Dear Mr.
R ao * * * What can I say that
has not already been said and repeated a mil
lion times over,,in words of warning, entrea
ty, affection, and love, respecting the omni
present curse of intemperance, and the sol
emn duty of all who claim to be animated by
the sentiments of humanity, or governed by
the principles of Christianity, to labor for the
removal of that curse from the earth by an
uncompromising testimony against the habit
ual and moderate use of intoxicating drinks?
The sure, the only remedy is to be found in
obedience to the saving injunction, "Touch
not, taste not, handle not." There are many
evils of colossal dimensions which are merely
local, and bounded by certain . degrees of lati
toile and longitude. The evil of intemper
ance follows the sun• in its circuit, overleaps
all geogrephical boundaries, disregards all
differences of climate, conquers all nationali
t es, and covers the whole earth with its deso
lating tracks. For the last three centuries
chattel slavery has oureed almost exclusively
the African race; but intemperance scoffs at
all complexional, all tribal distinctions, and,
whether in barbaric or civilized elimes,among
"Greenland's icy mountains," or on "Afric's
coral strand"—whether in Heathendom or
Christendom—strikes down its victims by the
same process, end sends them to the same
premature grave. Undoubtedly, it would bo
taking an inadequate view to ascribe its aw
ful prevalence wholly to any ;one custom or
habit. It has its -root--tn_opOesettm,...tgnor
once, degradation, poverty, dqlusion, sensu
alism, a passion for abnorinal Oxeiteinent, the
supremacy of the animal over the spiritual
nature, the lack of steady and remunerative
labor. But its most productive cause, by far,
is to be found in the intoxicating and seduc
tive quality of nlealtol itself, and in the con
sequent US3 of it as a beverage, more or less
diluted, among all classes of society. Mode
rato drinking is the immediate cause of all
the immoderate drinking in the world ; and
when it is banished from society as a habit
or fashion, the work of reformation will be
transcendently glorious. Of the myriads who
have gone down to thmekurds' graves, not ono
purposely sought his miserable fate, or failed
to find it through the trap door of moderate
drinking. As in the struggle - for the abolition
of negro slavery, it was the so-called benevo
lent, tender-hearted, Christian slaveholdors,
nom the brutal overseers and drivers, that
constituted the body-guard of the infernal
system,
warding off all attanks upon it on ac
count of their reputedly upright character, so
in regard to intemperance, it finds its shelter
and source, nut among its victims reeling in
the streets or lying in the gutter, but in the
persistent habits of otherwise respectable cud
often exemplary men, sometimes oven refor
mers in other directions, who, holding the
doctrine of total abstinence to be absurd or
fanatical, and the use of intoxicating stimu
lants (in moderation, of course,) to he not
only quite innocent, but essential to good fel
lowship, generous haepitality, and good phy
sical condition, daily set an example at their
own tables or at the festive board which is
very potential for evil. What mere can be
done to arouse them to a consciousness of the
fact that they
i are among the greatest stum
bling-blocks n the way of the progress of th 9
temperance movement? Trusting that your
vast gathering at the Crystal Palace, as now
designed, will give a fresh impetus to that
movement. I remain yours, in the patience of
hope and the labor of love.

ROBERT RAE, Esq.
Is THERE A HORSE-HEAVEN 7—Rev.
henry Ward Beecher, in his story in
the New York Ledger, discusses the
question, through two of his favorite
characters, in the following quaint
manner ;
"1 toll you," said ITiram, turning
slightly toward the doctor, "theso hor
ses aro jest as near human as is good
for 'em. A good horse has sense jest
as much as a man has; and he's proud
too, and he loves to be praised, and he
knows when you treat him with re
spect. A good horse has the best, pints
of a-man, without, his fhilin's."
"What do you think becomes of hor
ses, Hiram, when they die?" said Rosa.
"Wal, Miss Rose, it's my opinion
that there's use for horses hereafter,
and that you'll find there's a horse
heaven. There's Scripture for that,
too."
".4h l" said Bose, a little surprised
at these confident assertions. "What
Scripture do you mean ?"
"Why in the book of Revelations
Don't it give an account of a white
horse, and a red horse, and black horses
and gray horses ? I've idlers s'posed
that when it said Death rode on a pale
horse, it must have been gray, 'cause
it had mentioned white once already.
In the ninth chapter, too, it says there
was an army of two hundred thousand
horsemen. Now, I should like to know
where they got so many horses in
Heaven if none of 'ern that die off here
go there? It's my opinion that a
good horse's a darned sight likelier to
go to Heaven than a bad man !"
ve,„., A member of the bar once en
tered the Court of Appeals of Now
York 'While a counsellor was arguing
an important ease, "Who is that gen
tleman addressing the Court?" said
he, speaking to Charles O'Connor, who
was sitting• near him. "That, sir, is
Daniel Lord, Junior, and 1;o puts on
the 'Junior' so that he may not be mis
taken for the Lord Almighty." It
may be inferred that these two profes
sionals resembled neither Damon and
Pythias, nor Jonathan and David; in
their affection for each other.

The Perils of Celibacy.
The London Review, commenting
on Dr. Stark's statements - that "the
death rate among ,bachelors is double
what it is among married men between
the ages of twenty-five and thirty; be
tween thirty and thirty five it remains
at nearly the same proportion ; while
on the whole, taking married and sin
gle in the lump, husbands live tWenty
years longer than unmated gentlemen"
says that another grace is bestowed
on the sex. They aro more than our
preservers. Hygiene shakes hands
with Hymen. But what if Dr. Stark's
figures bear a different interpretation?
Suppose wo regard' the
,hccatomb of
bachelors an offering upon the shrine
of blighted affection ! Young men aro
jilted, and dio of it. Their more for
tunate friends bask in the heat of the
domestic hearth, while poor "Tom's a
cold," "Tom all ,alone," shivering in
the dreary world without, until ho is
carried off .under the direction of an
economical necropolis company.
Dr :• Stark puts matters. in , a way
that there is no shirking. He does
not say whom or what you are to
marry, but widow or maid you must
engage with, if your career is not to lbd
cut down to half its legitimate extent.
Tho reason of the wonderful difference
is certainly not on the surface. Bach
elors aro not invariably rakes; and a
modern bachelor, well schooled in the
modes of pleasure, knows how to enjoy
life with as little detriment to his
health as possible. It is said that a
man with asthma survives that com
plaint for an intolerable period, but
we refrain from associating his powers
of endurance with those of a father of
a family. A bachelor should have few
cares, even if he keeps late hours.—
Then we have heard of the "old bach
elors. Is the race threatened with ex
tinction ? The more we look at Dr.
Stark's sums tho more they puzzle us.
His bachelors—for we aro tempted to
believe that ho is in a measure the pro
prietor of the lot ho makes an example
of—must- bean"different set
from those we are accustomed to meet.
What kills them? And when wo
have asked that question, we should
like to know why they apparently
prefer sudden death to lingering mat
rimony. Dr. Stark, with a grim ex
actness,' holds out this warning scroll
of morality, which we have no doubt
will be made a text-shoot by mothers
with marriageable daughters. It
comes opportunely at the commence
ment of the season. Can
the
or cigars of Havana be the cause of : the
mischief Would a latch-key unlock
the mystery? Do bachelors pine at
lonely moments in chambers and lodg
legs, and then expire of broken hearts?
Dr. Stark should have informed us of
the number of young ladies who live
and die unknown. Ho should have
set one column off against the other.—
We are curious on this point, or rather
curious as to the manner in which Dr.
' Stark would make it, for our own reg
istrar general has never produced the
startling effects of the Scotch statisti
cian, although ho has east up very
similar accounts.
In Scotland, Doctor Stark's native
ground, there is a bold indecision on
the subject of marriage, which periodi
cally. affects the return of births. But
Scotland is a very pious country, and
the good people do not mind trifles as
long as they observe the Sabbath, and'
keep music out of the churches. We
trust, however, that the fatal influence
of celibacy, as shown by Dr. Stark,
will have an effect upon those inciden
tal moralities which do not include the
crime of whistling on Sundays. If Dr.
Stark is right, bachelors should literal
ly marry in haste, in the tooth of the
rest of the saw.' If Dr. Stark is wrong,
they don't lose much after all in taking
the course suggested by his calcula
tions.
How TO DO Goon.—Dr. Johnson
wisely said, "Ho who waits to do a
groat deal at once will never do any
thing." Life is made up of little things.
It is but once in an age that occasion
is offered for doing a groat deed. True
greatness consists in being groat in lit
tle things. how are railroads built?
By ono shovel of dirt after another;
one shovel at a time. Thus, drops
make the ocoan. Hence we should bo
willing to, do a little good at a time,
and never wait to do a groat deal of
good at once. If we would do much
good in the world, we must bo willing
to do good in littlo things, little acts
ono after another; speaking a word
here, giving a tract there, and setting
a good example all the time; we must
do the first we can, and the next, and
the next, and so keep on doing good.
This is the way to accomplish any
thing. Thus only shall we do all the
good in our power.
Eaaoas.—Tho little that I hwie soon
of the world and known of the history
of mankind, teaches no to look upon
their errors in sorrow, not in anger.
When I take the history of ono poor
heart that has sinned and suffered, and
representio myself the struggles and
temptations it passed through; tho brief
pulsation of joy; the tears of regret;
the feebleness'of purpose; the scorn of
the world that has little charity; the
desolation of the soul's sanctuary and
threatening voices within; health gone,
happiness gone, T - would thin leave
the soul of my fellow:man with him
from whose hands it came.

Being invited recently to deliver an
agricultural address before a Harvest
Home Association in Central N. Y. on
the occasion of their annual festival,
the "Fat Contributor" consented. We
make the following eloquent extract
from his address : Although fortune
(or perhaps the want of it) cast my lot
amid the struggling multitudes of a
great city,•where you wouldn't see a
farm in a walk of several squares,
where there are no meadows with
their waving potato tops, or wheat
fields ripe for the woodman's axe, yet
I have always felt a. deep interest in
the 'farming classes, and I flatter my
self that I know something of the no
ble pursuit you follow. I will say here
that it has been the ambition of my
life to be an honest old farmer. To
earn my bread by the sweat of a hired
man's brow. How delightful life on a
farm must be; I can imagine what
vigor is imparted to the frame, and
what strength to the muscles by recli
ning in the shade and watching the
mowers as they gayly swing their
threshing machines, and then what
appetite one must acquire for the
noontide lunch,by observing the merry
reapers at their work, digging their
wheat and raking and binding their
potatoes, and their—their fall ap
ples.
How often, in imagination, have I
followed you, as you went forth of a
summer morning, when the dew was
on the grass seed, neatly attired in
white linen suits and patent leather
boots, with your corn shelters swung
lightly over your shoulders to cut your
winter's wood. I have seemed to hear
your merry songs sweeping up from
meadows, as you gathered your water
melons and turnips into your—your
corn-houses, while mingled with the
busy hum of your sorghum evapora
tore, came the musical bleating of your
cattle, and the lowing of your sheep
and poultry.
Thou when winter comes, and the
sun
. prevents you from continuingyour
haying, and the cold north winds
shake off your ripening strawberries;
I picture you sitting by your gas
stoves, mending your fanning mills, in
preparation .for your spring plowing,
or amusing yourselves with Beadle's
Dime Book of Agriculture Winter on
a farm ; how delightful ! What a pleas
ure it must bo to fodder the chickens
in the dairy and to hear the =skint
clucking of the pigs us they clamor for
their oats and hay. Then when the
winter evening comes, and the robin
and the bobolink have ceased their
song and gone to roost on the well
sweep, I can imagine no ,greater de
light than to gather around the blaz
ing fireplace, regardless of the fascina
tion of the storm without and amuse
yourselves with apple pouring, knit
ting, base ball, seven-up,and other ath
letic games.
1 envy not, then, the pale dyspeptic
who bonds from morning till nigh&
over his sordid ledger in the crowded
marts of trade, or the child of idleness
and affluence, who grows premature
old amid the dissipations of the city.
They know nothing of the 'pleasures
of a life like yours, which I believe I
have in no way overdrawn; if they
did they would transport their cities
into country, or transform them into
agricultural communities by act of
Legislature.
A Million and a Billion.
Wo are perpetually hearing of mil
lions, and of how many millions it will
take to do this or that. We have a
good idea what a million of dollars
will do, but we have very much doubt
whether ono person in a thousand has
a very correct idea of the quantity or
number contained in a million. For in
stance, if you would ask a person how
long it would occupy him to put down
a million dots with a pen upon a shoot
of paper, - ho will generally toll you
soniotimo io far from the fact as to be
laughable. Permit us therefore to say,
for we have tried the experiment more
than once, that it would occupy an ex
pert ponman about fourteen days, sup-
posing him to work bank hours (that
is six,) incessantly, doing nothing but
putting dots on the paper or dipping
his pen in the ink, This will give our
readers some idea of the quantity or
number contained in a million.
Let ono try it, by laying his watch
on tho table, oloso to the paper, and
work for ten or twenty minutes, then
add and multiply. But what is a mil
lion compared to a billion ? It is a
more nothing. What then is a billion f
A very short answer will suffice for a
very short story. It is a billion times
a million. But who could count it? No
man ! A quick bank-teller can count
ono hundred and 60 and 70 a minute;
but lot us suppose he could go as far as
200. Then one hour would produce
12,000, a day 288,000, and a year or
301 days 105,120,000. Let-us suppose
now, that Adam at the beginning of
his existence had begun to count, bad
continued to do so, and was counting
still, he would not now, according to
the usually supposed age of our globe,
have counted near enough. For, to
count a billion, ho would require 9,520
years, 34 days, 5 hours and 20 minutes.
Now supposing wo were to allow poor
Adam 12 hours daily fur rest, eating
and sleeping, ho would need 19,024
years, 60 days, 10 hours and 40 min
utes.
We believe a common water pail
would hold a billion grains of sand
from the sea shore. This sand is the
dehris of rocks and stones. How many
millions of yea rs,tben , were these rocks
and stones rolling in the ocean to pro-
duce them ? What then, is the age of
the globe we inhabit? It is as much
beyond human comprehension as is the
speed of comets through immeasurable
space.

WOULDN'T PAY A CENT.---Rather a
lively dialogue that which took place
in a down-town restaurant the other
day. One of the brisk and bustling
waiters stepped up to a table where a
sedate-looking individual bad just fin
ished a lunch, and pertly inquired :
"What have you had, sir ?"
"Had ! I've had the stomach-ache
like thunder, eating your pies."
"I mean have you got a check, sir?"
said the waiter, fidgeting.
"No, nothing but currency," said the
customer, opening a calf-skin wallet..
"I want to know what you have got
to pay," said the attendant loudly. •
"Got to pay a note for five hundred
dollars, and not a dollar yet," replied
the imperturbable one. • • •
The despairing • waiter throw a "com
ing, sir," at half a dozen impatient cus
tomers, and making a- last effort,• said
slowly, "H-o-w m-n-e•h a-r-e you going
to pay ?"
"Not a darned cent; taken the bap.
eft of the bankrupt sot," said his.tor
mentor, and buttoned -up his coat, he
walked steadily out beforo the bola. ,

A MIRACLE OF HONESTY.-At a par-'
ty one evening several contested. the
honor of having done the most extra
ordinary thing. A reverend gentle:-
man was appointed judge of their re
spective pretensions. - •
One produced his tailor's bill with a
receipt attached to it. A buzz went
through the room that this could not
be outdone, when a second proved he
had just arrested his tailor for money
lent him. "The palm is his," was the
cry, when a third put in his claim.. It
was he had returned two umbrellas..
The astonished arbiter said he would
hear no more, and was about to award
the prize, when he was stopped by the
fourth, who said:
"I have done still more than that."
"Impossible !" cried the company,
"Let us hoar."
"I have been taking my paper fbr.
twenty years, and have paid for it,
ovary year iv advance."

CURIOSITY.—Aperson of an obser.
ving turn of mind, if he has rode
through a eountry town, has noticed,,
how curious youngsters along the route,
will fill the windows with anxious fa
ces in order to get a glimpse at all pass,
ers by. A Yankee peddler drove up,
in front of a house one day, and seeing
all hands and the cook staring from
the windows, got off from his ear . %
when the following dialoguo4ook place

BARBER, PUZZLED.—Three brothers
bearing a remarkable resemblance tct
one another, were in the habit of sha

street. Not long ago one of the broth
ers entered the shop in the morning,
and was duly shaved by (H.) a German
who had been at work in the shop only
for a short time. About noon another
brother came in and underwent a sire-.
liar operation at the hands of the bar,
bor. In the evening the third brother
made his appearance, when the man
dropped his razor in astonishment, and
exclaimed :
'Noll, Mine Gott, dat man hash de
fashtest beards I never saw. I shaves

Timm was once a Jew who was par

tavern. Ono day ho had just out ft

Tim following, which we cut from

much use to farmers and agriculturists
generally :
