Kiiig Winter has donned his ermine robe, And high on bis throne he sits: His brow with a diamond diadem spanned, A sceptre he wields in his brave, right hand, That his kingdom well befits. Her silvery sheen the Ice queen lends .To illumine his halls august; And every.gem that the prism knows, From crystalline splendors that fill the snows, , Are scattered as free as dust. That wierd old broideress, Frost, throws ’round Her delicate drapery there ; No earthly court with its pompand gold, And its gorgeous tapestry, fold on fold, With this canopy can compare. And broad, indeed, are his rich domains— Extending from sea to s^— For meadow and mount, and plain and hill, And river and fount, and lake and rill, In fealty bend the knee. Bnt a cruel monarch is he, I ween, For Ms visage is stern and cold : And the light that gleams from bis diamond orown, Full many a cloud and many a frown Beveals on his forehead bold. He calls to summon his subjects home, His ministers far and near; The winds are they, and with right good will— Scarce hearing the mandate—they answer shrill Away in their mad career. The furious North—bis bearded chin With icioles heavily hung— Makes ever the wildest, fiercest din As he hastens to gather the wanderers in, His sovereign’s hosts among. Oh! a rollicking sprite is the furious North When bis pinions are first unfurled. With a joyous shout, and a brave good cheer, His voice, iike a olarion, loud aDd clear, Goes echoing ’round the world! Bat his adamant heart is as Btem and oold As that of his sire the king; The voioe of sorrow he never heeds Nor moaning want, nor the heart that bleeds, Can ever his pity bring. From his treasury flingeth be fiercely forth The sleet, the ruin, the snow ; And the pinching frost, and the biting blast With a oareless hand around are cast, As he roameth to and fro. Oh! a gorgeous court doth grim Winter hold While the wild winds wander free; And high he sUs od bis splendid throne— Yet his hand, it is ice, and his heart, it is stone— He is not the king for me. KISS ME BEFORE YOU GO, Your path lies over the hillside, Out in the rain and sleet— Out in the world’s wild turmoil, Where bustle aod business meot; And mine by the Doiseless fireside, Where the fanciful embers glow With a changeful, lifelike motion— Kips me before you go. My quiet way will be haunted With visions none others con see— Glances more precious than diamonds— Smiles full of meaning to me— The sound of a welcome footstep— .A whisper tbrillingly low: Ah ! thought will clasp memory closely— Kiss me before you.go. For this world bath a thousand mischanoes, And one of those chances may fall, That us two ne’er again by the firelight Make one shadow upon the wall! Then, yet once more, ere the parting, Alas ! that it must be so! Leave me a fond benediction— Kiss me before you go. THE LAY OF THE HEN-PECKED. Oh, her hair iB dark aa the midnight wave, And her eyea like the kindling fire ; And her voioe is as sweet as the spirit’s voice, That chords with the seraph’s lyre ! But her nails are as sharp as a toasting fork, And her armß are a- strong as a bear’s; She pulled my hair and she gouged my eye, And she kicked me down the stairs. I’ve got me an eye that’s*made of glass, And I’ve got a wig that’s new; ’ The wig is frizzled in corksciew curls, And my eye is clouded blue. She may Bhake her knuckles full in my face And put the lamp to my beard — * And hold the broomstick over my head— But I’m not at all afeer’d. For I've bound her over to keep the peace, And I’ve bought me a crab-tree cane; The policeman will come, and the justice too, If she meddles with me again. My head was a week in a linen cap, And my eyes a month in a patoh ; I never thought the torch of love Would light such a brimstone match! THE WRONG PICTURE. The full sunshine oame pouring through the plate-glass windows of the great pho tographic saloon, where Virginia Lynne had become very tired of waiting < just one minute’ for her turn to face the camera. If the camera had been a young gentle man, it probably wouldn’t have objeoted mneh to the process, as Virginia was not at all disagreeable to look at—on the con trary, she was very, very pretty, with a olear olive complexion, deepening to oar miDe on her round oheebs, and large, blue-gray eyes, just the color of violetß,’ blossomed in the shade. Jet black hair plainly brushed from her forehead and oonfined in one knot at the back of her neok, .and a little red mouth, very sanoy and somewhat haughty also, in its curves. ‘ Are you nearly ready to take my like ness, sir ?’ she asked, rather impatiently, .as the operator entered the room on some trifling errand. ‘Not quite yet, ma’am. We shall be, soon, I hope, however. To tell you ithe truth, we didn t anticipate so muoh trouble from our present subject—a baby, ma’am, who will not sit still!’ ‘A baby oh, then I haven’t another word to say,’; said Virginia, scornfully elevating her pretty shoulders as she.tnrned toward her companions. ‘I do detest !’ ‘Why, Virginia!’ exclaimed Mrs. Walter, her matron sister, with genuine horror. e ‘P it—l never could endnre a. baby that’s one of- my artioles of faith!’ ‘And how many artioles of faith have yon ? laughingly inqnired another oom- ‘O, several. One is a hearty aversion to widowers—that class of dyed-over hus bands who are always alluding to Mrs. Smith Number One ! If I become that lady’s snooessor, I should be perpetually fearful I was standing in the way of Mrs. Smith Number Three! And then the idea of washing the faoes and oombing the hair of half a dozen unruly step-ohildren. No seoond-hand babies for me, thank yon?’ ’ But if Virginia could only have had a rpeep into the operating room, where that ' hazel-eyed baby with pink ribbons-at its shoulders and a string of red coral ronnd its plump neok, was setting Photography ~ defiance, sheivauld probably have biased lta perfumed breath nearly away with true - feminine inconsistency t , * H » r 7> dosit Btill pleaded the nurse 'J“ "®spair, while the operator dodged hope* - mat *0 i r !p,[ and two or three young lady aunts jingled their watoh-ohains and held up their brace lets in the vain endeavor to attract the little one’s eye. But if the . quintessence of obstinacy can be imagined to fix its throne in a year-old baby, that baby was the in dividual! All of a sudden, a bright-winged canary in a cage opposite began to sing piercingly. The scarlet lips opened into a wondering smile—the large hazel eyes that had roved from place to place, like ohain lightning, were fixed for a moment. The operator jerked the drapery away from his instru ment with the agility of magic—the sun rays swept their penoils over the gleaming plate, and ‘O, let me see it!’ shrieked aunts and nursein a confused treble chorus, crowding round the photographer as, after, a short absenoe, he entered the room bearing the plate. Only let me get one peep at it!’ ‘ How delighted Raymond will be!’ whispered one of the young aunts to her sister, as she caught the baby in her arms, crushing her shining brown curls against its silky little head. ‘ Where shall I send the oards, ma’am ?’ asked the operator. ‘To Captain May—Raymond May, Philadelphia. Just the address, please— no other word. We intend it for a birth day surprise to my brother.’ ‘Very well, ma’am. Theodore!’ as soon as the ladies had disappeared, ‘ just write down that address, and tell the young lady below that we are ready for her. 3 Virginia Lynne must have been hard indeed to please, had she been dissatisfied with the face reflected in the mirror, as she took a last glanue ere leaving the sa loon down stairs. A proud, stately young beauty—and heart-free as the wildest fawn upon the eastern hills. . ‘ When can I have the pioture V she asked. ‘ In about five days, ma’am.’ ‘No sooner! I leave town to-mor row !’ ‘ We can send it to you by mail, wher ever you are, ma’am. 3 She hurriedly wrote-upon a card, ‘Miss Lynne, Philadelphia, 3 and pushed it to ward the man. ‘ There is my address—please send it as soon as possible !’ Captain May’s sitting room in the great Philadelphia hotel was as snug a little den as man need wish for, with its oarvhd marble mantel, bright-patterned carpet, and luxurious sofas and lounging-chairs, and Captain May himself, as ho looked smiling up from the perusal of a heap of papers, to greet the entrance of a compan ion, was no unfair specimen of a handsome young naval officer. ‘ Well, Charley ?’ ‘ Well, May—upon my word, if you’re not t'p to your ears in those old naviga tion charts again. It’s enough to make a lazy man aohe, to see you work !’ ‘ It’s time to work, 3 said May, good humoredly. ‘ I expeot sailing orders in about a fortnight—and glad I shall be when they come. 3 ‘ Glad !’ ejaculated Charles Monroe, throwing himself into a chair, and biting at the end of one of his friend’s quill-pens. ‘ May, you’re a perfect problem to me —as uneasy on dry land as a fish. I oan’t understand it—hanged if I can !’ ‘ Perhaps you could, 3 said May, dalmly, ‘ if you had no home ties—nothing to look forward to—nothing to make life pleasan ter in one spot than another, since Minnie died 3 He stopped abruply. Monroe leaned over with frank sympathy, to grasp .his friend’s hand. ' ‘ Pardon me, Raymond ! I’m a stupid, blundering fellow, I know, but I don’t mean to hurt you by my careless words. Still, there is your child left you.’ ‘Dear little Harry,’ said May, half smiling, 1 but a year old baby isn’t much company for a man of thirty, yon must ad mit Besides, he is far better off under the loving oare of my sisters than he could be with me.’ 1 True,’ said Monroe, twisting the qnill round and round his fingers. ‘ Who’s that knooking? Letters, eh? Don’t mind me, open your correspondence !’ May complied, tearing open the envel opes and glancing carelessly over their enclosures, until he came to the last one ! As his eye fell on it ho uttered an excla mation of astonishment. ‘ What a beauty !’ ejaculated Monroe, who, with the privileged impertinenoe of long established friendship, caught up the letter as it fell from Raymond’s bands. ‘ Well, Pd just like to know what this means, yon sly scamp!’ ‘ Upon my word—upon my honor, Char ley, ejaculated the astonished yonng man, ‘ I never saw the face hefore ! I oannot imagine who she is, nor how the picture oame here!’ ‘ No message with it ?’ ‘ Not a word ! but the direction is oer tainly plain enough—‘ Captain Raymond May, Philadelphia.’ ’ ‘Well, I oan only recommend to yon to wait patiently for time to solve the ques tion,’ said Monroe, rising. ‘ Come, do look np for a moment from the entrancing photograph, and give a fellow a little at tention—l want to know if yon are going to Mrs. Leaford’s Saturday night ?’ ‘ es n °—l don’t know. I haven’t made np my mind.’ ‘ All right; I’ll call for yon at nine to a moment.’ Away went Monroe, leaving Raymond May still bending over the fair oonnte nanoe, whioh soemed to enchant him like a dream ! The exotics' in Mrs. Leaford’s bay windows were in full blossom and bright ness ; the fire, which one or two bleak days had rendered far from disagreeable, even in April, glowed cheerfully in the grate, and half a dozen young guests, matrom'zed by their pretty hostess and Mrs. Walter from New York, were busy, some reading, some chatting, and some engaged in the graceful mysteries of embroidery and oroohet. ‘ By the way, where is Virginia ?’ asked Mrs. Leaford, glanoing around. - one will be down presently,’ answered to read ’ r ’ ' tDok her lcttars »P stairs . ,7 ery in3tant Miss Lynne’s light onohfell.on thqdoor knob, and she oame into the room, looking prettier than ever, in a white-cashmere morning wrapper, re lieved by the-flutter of bine ribbons/ * Lizzy ’ she said, coming to her sister’s 4 the ’ St^ t “ ihae aotrarar is thb hoot r xoarx&ou& vrau labob oommahm tbm euArasx bkwasd.”- LANCASTEB CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30. 1862. ‘What do-you mean 1 ? 3 asked Mrs. Walter. _ ‘ As . 1 opened one of my letters,’ she said, laughing in a half pleased,-half puz zled manner, ‘out fell a photograph!’ Of oourse, I supposed it was one of those f had taken of myself just before I left New York!’ . ‘ Well,’ ejaculated the eager-chorus of listeners, ‘ and it was —■ ’ ‘ The prettiest baby you ever saw !’ ex claimed Virginia, holding, up the piotured representation of our old acquaintance, ‘ baby Harry,’ and her auditors pounced eoBtatically .npon.it, uttering various femi nine adjectives Of delight and admira tion. Saturday night arrived, most propiti ously, with a keen wind and brilliant star light, and Mrs. Leaford’s spacious rooms were soon filled. Mr. Monroe and Capt. May were among the later arrivals, and made their way towards Mrs. Hfeaford as skilfully as they could, through the mass of crinoline which swayed around. ‘ Hero he is, Mrs. Leaford !’ ejaoulated Monroe, as at length he reaohed the lady sought for. ‘ I’ve brought him according to contract; bnt, do you believe, the lazy fellow bad coiled up on a sofa for an eve ning over his books !. If it hadn’t been for my indefatigable efforts, you wouldn’t have seen him here to-night. 3 . . ‘ I’m sure I’m very muoh obliged to you,’ said Mrs. Leaford, laughing. ‘ Capt. May, the only amends you oan make for suoh an outrageous breach of discipline, is to be just as agreeable as you oan to my fair guests to night. Miss Lynne, let me present Captain May!’ As the young officer bowed low over the extended band of tbo New York beauty, he was half uncertain whether he was broad awake or wandering tnrough the mazes-of a dream. There, before him, stood the lovely reality of that lovely pho tograph, her jetty hair wreathed with pearls, and her dark beauty contrasted with a dress of the softest pink, with moss roses at her belt. If he had been in love before, his oase was hopeless now—desperate, irremedia ble ! How quickly the next two weeks flew by! It was not until the night before he sailed that Capt. Raymond May mustered up courage to oonfess to Miss Lynne that her similitude was in his possession—for, of oourse, that would necessarily involve the surrender of precious property. But he felt that he must at length tell her the truth; and so, with sinking heart, he marobed up the broad marble steps of Mrs. Leaford’s mansion, and was shown into a pretty little room opening out of a fragrant conservatory. As he awaited Miss Lynne’s appearance he nervously turned over the pages of the gilded volumes that lay on the table. One was a photographic album, and he glanced mechanically at the various faces there contained, without really seeing them, un til suddenly the rosy face of his own little Harry—Minnie’s child—smiled up in his own ! ‘ Why, is it possible ? I must be mis taken !’ But a second glanced oonvinced him that he was not mistaken. It was Harry May, and nobody else’s baby ! Suddenly a light footstep disturbed his reverie. ‘ Miss Lynne,’ he aaid earnestly, as soon as the customary greetings of the day were exchanged, ‘ I am in a state of very great perplexity. Will you solve the enigma for me?’ ‘ Certainly—if I oan,’ said Virginia, blushing, and with a soft, uncertain tremor at her heart. ‘ How did this picture obtain a place in your album ?’ The oolor subsided into ordinary pallor, as Virginia repled : ‘ In rather a romantic manner, Captain May. It was sent to me, with no ac companying message, and I haven’t the least idea whence it oame !’ ‘ Ah ! that furnishes a clue to the whole mystery,’ said Capt. May, plaoing upon the. table the piotnre which had lain next to his heart for the last few days, and relat ing briefly how it had fallen into his pos session. ‘By some mistake at the photo grapher’s, my little Harry’s picture has been sent to yon, and your likeness to me. I am a widower, Miss Lynne, with one child, as I suppose you have heard.’ , 1 No,’ said Virginia, ooloring, 1 I was not aware of it, but ’ He looked earnestly into her face, where the tell-tale crimson was already beginning to glow, and the soft eyes to beoome shadowed with timid, downcast lashes ; he looked, and saw something that encour aged him to ask another question. ‘ Miss Lynne—Virginia—may I keep the pioture ?’ And she did not say ‘ No.’ When Captain May sailed the next day, it was with ‘ something to look forward to ’ on his return. ‘My dearest Virginia!’ exclaimed her sister, what have you been doing ? Don’t you know that Captain is a widower?’ ‘ Yes,’ said Virginia, valiantly ; ‘ but that don’t make any difference, I love him, and that’s enough!’ ‘ And don’t yon know that he has a baby ?’ ‘ Well—and I love the baby, too, be cause it is Raymond’s.’ ‘Oh !’ said Mrs. Walter, archly, ‘so yon have overcome your horror of ‘ second hand babies.’ Well, my dear, only take oare that he don’t keep quoting Mrs. May Number One!’ ‘ I have no fear,’ said Virginia, quietly, And time proved the correctness of her premises, for we don’t know any happier young wife than Mrs. May Number Two ; and it is hard to say which she loves best, her husband, or ‘ Baby Harry !’ ffF” Burke had onee risen in the Honse of Commons, with some papers in his hand, on the subjeot of which he intended to make a motion, when a rongh-hewn member atsrted np and said: —‘ Mr. Speaker, I hope the honorable gentleman does not mean to read that large bund.le of papers, and to bore ns with a long speech into tho bargain.’ Mr. Burke was so swollen or rather so nearly.snffooated with rage, as to be incapable of utterance, and absolutely ran out of the House.

The fact is—now let me oatoh yon laughing, if you dare, you young rogue—l’m going to be mar ried!’ ‘ Going to be married, uncle V exolaim ed James Ashley, in open eyed astonish ment. ‘ I never dreamed of it!’ ‘ How should you, when you only arrived yesterday from a year’s absence in Europe ?

Of oourse, I-don’t expeot her to be desperate ly in love with an old codger like me— that would be unreasonable. But she’ll make me a sweet, dutiful, little wife, and I—there’s no use talking, I oan only say one thing—the Lord deal with me as I shali deal with this child. 3 The old man lifted his hands reverently toward Heaven as he spoke. * Josephine Clare was sitting among her flowers in the sunshine, blonde and golden haired, with blue eyes, and a delioate lit tle mouth, tinted with the softest crimson. One tiny dimple deft her round ohin, and the peachy bloom upon her oheeks was such as comes only to sixteen. No won der that General St. Aubyn lost his heart to the wondrously beautiful ohild—it must have been an iron sort of maohine if he hadn’t. She rose with varying oolor to greet her fine old lover as he entered. ‘ Josey,’ he said, cheerily, after the words of salutation had been exchanged, ‘I am not alone to-day. Let me introduce my nephew, James Ashley.’ Josephine lifted her blue eyes to the stranger’s faoe, for the first time, with a wild, terrified gaze, the peach blossom red faded from her oheek, and the first tbiDg that General St. Aubyn knew, she had fainted in his arms. ‘ What’s the matter ?’ stammered the veteran, in breathless terror. ‘ls Bbe dead ? is she dying ? For Heaven’s Bake, get some cold water. Open the windows, somebody. Bring burnt feathers !’ ‘ Do lay the poor ohild down, General, 3 cried Miss Betsey Clare, Josephine’s maiden aunt, who rushed in at this mo ment. ‘ Don’t hold her so tight. There, now, she’s cornin’ round all right, don’t you see v The general looked on admiringly—all his militaay tactics seemed as nothing to the coolness with which Miss Betsey man aged matters. ‘ What could have made you faint, my love V he asked, when she was smiling again. ‘ I don’t know,’ she murmured ; ‘ it was the—the heat, I suppose. 3 ‘And where’s Jim?’ asked the per plexed warrior. ‘ If you mean that tall young shaver,’ struok in Miss Betsey, 1 he’s gone home like a feller o’ sense, seein’ he couldn’t be o’ no use here.’ ‘ General St. Aubyn,’ said Josephine, in a very low voice, ‘I know you will think me a silly little goose ; but, please, don’t bring that yonng man here again.’ ‘Josephine, my own love, why not?’ ‘ Because,’ faltered the girl, playing with his watch chain, and hiding her flush ed face against his breast, < it’s a whim of mine.’ ‘ Well, just as yon say, Josey,’ said the General, ‘ but I must remark, it’s perfect ly unaccountable.’ ‘ Women are unaoconntable creatures,’ said Josephine, trying to laugh. ‘ And now tell me about your new pictures.’ But iong after the General had gone, the ohild bride lay on her sofa, shutting out Heaven’s light from her eyes with olosely clasped hands, and breathing out the wild, wailing moans that oan come only from a broken heart. Poor, sacrificed Josephine Clare ! When General St. Anbyn returned to his room at the hotel, he found James Ashley pacing the floor with hurried Bteps. ‘ Uncle,’ he said, looking up as the General entered, ‘ I have changed my mind abont that far away official post in India. Will you obtain the appointment for me V ‘ Certainly ; but, James, you would be obliged to sail immediately.’ ‘ The sooner the better, sir. Every hour that I remain in this country seems an age to me.’ ‘ James,’ said General St. Aubyn, re garding his nephew with a keen, piercing gaze, ‘ what does this mean ? And why does J sephine object to seeing you again ? There is some mystery here.’ ‘ I would to Heaven I had died ere I had gone there to-day,’ gasped Ashley.— ‘ Ask me no further, uncle—it is best for the happiness of all to bury the past in eternal oblivion.’ General St. Aubyn stood for a moment in deep thought as James hastily quitted the room. Suddenly, a new light seemed to break npon him—he grew ghastly pale, and oienohed his hands firmly. ‘ I have it,’ he muttered between his teeth, ‘ This is the girl to whom James was engaged before he went to Europe, and that mercenary scoundrel Clare would have broken both hearts, and put me in this false position, to seonre his own ends. It shall not be !’ Two long hours General St. Aubyn paoed his room. The mental conflict was sharp and fierce, but the noble heart tri umphed. The next day he songht Josephine’s presenoe, after a lone inierview with her father. ‘ Josophine,’ he said, ‘ wonld you object to celebrating the wedding next week in stead of next month ?’ She looked np in surprise. ‘_A bridegroom privileged to.be im patient,’he said, lightly. ‘ It shall be .m you i desire,’ she replied,’ ,. r s ; .. Pal ® M ketawii cpearis,J6- .iiiOKi-r) A I sephine Clare stood at the threshold of the church, waiting for the bridegroom’s cortege. At length it dame, and .GeneraL St. Aubyn stepped forward, ‘Josephine,’be whispered, ‘my gener ous, noble girl, I feared the bridegroom, of would be ill suited to your fresh bloom, so I have substituted one of twen ty ! Jim, come forward, you scamp. And I’m going to be on hand to give away the bride!’ Josephine thought she was in a blissful 4feam, but no—it.was true, and almost ere she could realize the new state of things, she was tight married to James Ashley, her first and only love, and the General, folding her in his arms, whisper ed — ‘ Your father and I have arranged mat ers all right, dearest. Don’t thank me ; for, although I have, lost a wife, I have gained the sweetest of little nieces! I’m quite satisfied, Josey !’ And so were Mr. and Mrs. James Ash ley! It is related of a certain lawyer in New England— noted for his over-reaohings and short-comings,— that during a revival he oame under conviction, and requested prayers for the furtherance of his convio tion. His apjjgal was responded to by one of the saints—an eccentric but very pious ojd man, —honest, plain, blunt, square toed and flat-footed, who thus went at it; ‘ We do most earnestly entreat thee, 0 Lord, to sanctify our penitent brother, here ; fill his heart with goodness and grace, so that he may hereafter forsake his evil ways and and follow in the right path. We do know, however, that it is required of him who has appropriated worldly goods to himself unlawfully and dishonestly, that he shall make restitution fourfold ; but we do beseech the to have mercy on this our erring brother, as it would be impossible for him to do that, and let him off for the best he can do without beggaring himself entirely, by paying twenty-five cents on the dollar.’ The next applicant at the same meeting was an elderly maiden who got her living by goiDg into different families and spin ning for them. She, also, had been famous for her short-comings—never giving full counts on her yarn ; the forty threads to a knot was a point whioh she never reach ed. The blunt old man thus briefly dis posed of her case ;• 1 Reform, 0 Lord, the heart of thy handmaid here before thee, we beseech thee ; and wilt thou enable her to count forty !’ In this conneoiion we are reminded of an anecdote related of a country merchant Down-East, who was noted for his dishonesty. Suddenly, and to the surprise of those who knew him, he became very pious and joined the ortho dox church. One Sunday evening, while exhi rting the brethren, he remarked that he had done many things for whioh he felt sorry, and he deemed it his duty to make full restitution to those he had wronged. He therefore notified all suoh that if they would call at his store he would do so. About 4 o’olock the next morning, a gen tleman called at the merchant’s bouse and aroused him from his bed. Raising the window, he demanded the , business of his visitor at that early hour in the morning : ‘ Is this Mr. W ?’ ‘ That is my name.’ ‘ Well, I understand you have offered to make restitution to those you have cheated. You will remember that upon one occasion I suffered by you to the extent of fifty dollars, and I have called to get it.' 6 ‘Why did you not wait until proper hours and then call at the store V ‘ Simply because I thought if I did, ; here would be such a h—l of a rush there hat I would not get anything !’ Good Butter in Winter.—For the benefit of my lady friends, I will give my experience of twenty five years in making as good butter in winter as in summer.— In the first plaoe, we suppose the oows to have been fed on good feed. After the milk has been strained, put it on tbe stove to heat, either in the pans or in any other way thought proper. Do not make it too hot, or the oream will not rise; it may then be plaoed in a clean oellar, free from vegetables or any thing that will give the cream an unnatural taste, or in a cupboard with a canvas door, in a moderately warm room ; if in the latter plaoe, it should not be put in until the steam has passpd off, otherwise the shelves will be liable to mould. The milk should not stand longer in winter than in summer, or the butter will be bitter. In thirty six or forty eight hours it should be skimmed, if in a cool place, sooner if in a warm one. If the milk is thought to be too rioh to give to the pigs, let it stand longer, and use the oream that rises on it for shortening or in some other way than for butter. If the milk has been kept in a cool place, take the oream to a warm room a day or two before churning. If you wish the but ter to iook and taste like grass butter, grate orange carrots, put some hot water or milk to the pulp, strain and add it to the cream, which should be a little above sixty degrees wheif you commenoe churning. A common sized teacupful will' color six pounds of butter. After churning draw off the buttermilk, put cold water in the churn, and churn a few minutes, and if managed right you will never fail of hav ing good butter. I rejoice that the preju dice against washing butter with cold water is slowly passing away. Heating the milk 1 believe is an English method, and ought to be more generally practised; then there would not be so muoh poor butter in the marked.— Cor. American Agriculturist. The Turn of Life, —Between the years of forty and sixty, a man who has properly regulated himself may be consid ered in the prime of life. His matured strength of constitution renders him almost impervious to the attacks of disease and experience has given soundness to his judgment. His mind is resolute, firm, and equal; all bis functions are in the highest order. He assumes mastery over busi ness, builds up a competence on the foun dation he has formed in early manhood, and passes through a period of life at tended by many gratifications. Having gone a year or two past sixty, be arrives at a stand-still. But athwart this is a viacuot, called ‘The Turn of Life,’ which, if orossed in safety, leads to the valley of ‘Old Age,’ round whioh.the river /winds,' and then beyond without a tioat oroauso way-to effect its passage; The biridgeris,. hoirever; eonrtiiietea ef *agilematefials fc W ietendauponheWitis^tt^lden, ■-ewax •KHTQ v/ Praying to the Point. whether it bend orbreak.Gxmtand apo plexy are also in the yjoinity, ; ; to;- wkjlay the traveler, and thruat him foom thapass; but let him gird up. his loins and provide himself. .with a, fitter staff, and ■he may trudge in safety with perfect' composure.

Longitudinal Rivers. —A river that runs east or west crosses no parallels of latitude, consequently, as it flows towards the sea, it does not change its climate ; and being in the same olimate, the crops that are cultivated at its mouth are.grown also at its souroes ; and from one end to the other of it there is no variety of pro ductions—it’ is all wheat and corn, or wine, or oil, or some other staple. As sorted cargoes, therefore, cannot be made up from the produce whioh suoh a river brings down to market. On the other hand, a river that runs north or south crosses parallels of latitude, changes its climate at every turn ; and as the traveler descends it, he sees new agricultural sta ples abonnding. Suoh a river bears down to the sea a variety of productions, some of whioh some one or another of the dif ferent nations of the earth is sure to want, and for‘which each one will send to .the market at its. mouth, or the port whenoe they are distributed over the. world. The assortments of merchandise afforded by suoh a river are the life of commeroe.— They give.it energy, activity and scope.— Such a river is the Mississippi, and the Mississippi is the only suoh river in the world.
