Theee points, although appuariui; Lruliug, are more noticeable af ter the butter has gone through second hands. As shipment, although being forwarded perlectly sweet, sometimes, and, in fact, very often happens to be the case, arrive sour and rancid and being easily remedied 6lould . receive proper uttcu lion. The best salt should always be used Ashlon's factory filled Dairy is most generally used. Thirdly Parties should be careful and pack butter uniform in color, and - should iiarticularly remember the tact thai streak ed lots no matter how sweet and choice cannot be brought in competition with lots uniform in color; the latter always commanding t much quicker sale at a fair p:einium,and in every way compensating dealers for their extra labar and care. Fourthly Jars and pail should be avoided for packing purges as much as possible, ttie lormer costing mure ireigui, besides being a pcclagc not easily han dled. In handling at the stations and ex press ollices, and tven in forwarding Jars and pails are often placed on top of each other, and as there are no covers lor pro tection, the quality is materially damaged by defacement, and the price is considera bly lessened. However, jars should be abolished as they are never taken by ship pers, but entirely await the call ol local consumers and retailers, for whom they al ways arrive in excess, nnd mast be placed asiiie for a more favorable opportunity; perhaps to be taken by parties engaged in repacking, who, however, will nut buy them except at a large discount. Tubs and firkins should be used exclusively, but in tabs some discrimination is made. The Eastern ash and spruce labs are taken in preference to Others, on account of their neater appearance, though some panics use home-made tubs, which they cUitn answer their purpose. Another icasjn why these tubs are becoming more in fa vor on the part of dealers is the fact that they sell woro readily to shippers, and parlies can also more readily agree on tare, if a certain make of tub it used to w hich they aieaccustumed. Tlicretoro, tubs and firkins are recommended to be the most desirable, and, in the end, the most eco nomical package used. t, , ,..

Since the peach" (season is now upon us, it is well to explain the quantity of poison the pencil stone possesses. Writers oi toxicology state that one ounce ot the kernels contains alKiut one grain ol pure prnsfic acid, and this quantity, it is well- known, is suthcient to kill any nlu!t er gon.

When the system lacks vitality, the various organs flaj in their duty, become chronicatiy irregular, and disease is eventually instituted.

The result of these dis eases upon the masses of intelligent and valuable people is most alarming, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of en jovment and usefulness as it ought to be. 1 here is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside pre judice and skepticism, take the advice of Druggists and yonr triends, and try one bottle or Green s August Flower. l our speedy relief is certain.

The Museum, always a favorite place of miae, although not the most aristocratic, will open tcry so-ia. li had a very bid season ia the summer, and was forced to dote, but will hope do beier this fail. This theater kept to popular prices when the others all changed from one to two dollars for admission aad I think had much to do wilh pulling down all the prices. There was a sort cf combination performance at lie Academy of Mu sic Saturday, wherein many ot our greatest stars played. It was in aid of the Actors' Order of Friendship, and the bouse was jammed The Chestnut theater is not yet 0D?n. bat it is expected that their season will bo very brilliant, aa they have eino cf the best h'ozk. companies extant, and tho pttfe.'taad admirable manner in which thev mount their play, and the exactness and conscious ness of every person connected with the theater in the performance of their duties, and the esmiiske music which they always furnish, makes this theater the best liked by all classes cf any in Philadelphia. There are a number of minor theaters here, but they are all cf the variety cla? s, and do not merit special mention. Lectures ore promised by the score, and other intellectual entertainments, so that the people here will not lack for amusements. If all ihe enterprises ia the ' weild that are gottea op atid carried on simply and solely for people's amuse ment, were completely suppressed simultaneously, what aa awfully dull old world this would seem, and how many persons would be impoverish ed, thrown out of employment and made criminals throagh necessity, and what a stagnation to a long list of industries, supported entirely upon the demands made by these very places, that the ultra religionists abuse so. And would the money that is invented in the amusement bdsiotfa, with all its ramifications, do any more good if.it were put into churches aud relig'ous books than it doeB now ? 1 think as the mat .er stands ia the l:h century, the theaters do just as much good as the churches, aad secu lar books as tench as religious ones. Comparatively few go to church, and almost all go to the theater; few care for religious work?, and nearly everybody likes novels, poetry, etc. Therefore a good play, which teach es a good, moral lesson, (and few do not) or a book, wherein vice is wrecked and virtue triumphant, which is largely read, will really do the most good according to my ideas. At any rate, theater going and book loving people are j'ast aa good aa those who don't do either, as far as my observation goes. If anybody can make ont clearly what I wanted to say, by reading the above para graph, they will do better than I can.

And even then you don't care to critirisa much when you Lave provea conclusively the worth of the book, for a book is generally judged by the interest it excites. In that case tew would equal this. Still if the lady writer wishes to hear a frieaciy word cr, not criticism but appreciation for the good her book contaias, sLe wiil L-r the future eschew each phrases as 'They never lot on they know her," and one cr two like expressions. A writer cannot expect to please every body, but there is little that caa pos sibly Lil of interesting in this book. which makes one think cf no English placi pudding fuil of good things held together by its own richness, and if the proof of the pudding is in the eat- n?, so is the proof of thu book ia the reading.

I hardly know to whom to award the most, credit for this beautifully written story ; the writer or the translator, for it is rarely that a translator so comprehends her sub ject as to be ablo to reproduce it in another tongue so that it shall read frco from that atiHaesa which char acterizes so many traoslationa.
