From dark and grim to lightsome evea ;
The happy birds have longer range,
And later twitter on the eves.

The dint of biting frost is there;
But shining laurels boldly wave
Their welcome to a milder air.

The sun's increasing warmth and power;
And soon shall pierce the tender sheath
Which holds the perfect snow-drop flower.
Dear is the earlies. dawn of spring
This hint of future ecstasy
The thrushes feel it first, and sing
Enraptured on yon naked tree.
I would that I like them could pour
Songs sweet as is uiy beans delight!
And when earth's winters all are o'er,
I hope to hail a spring as bright.

THE OLD HOUSEJNJUDEN STRASSE.
In one of the most distinguished quarters
of Franktort-on-the-Maiue was the street
called Juden Strasse, or Jews' street. Al
though in the very heart of the citv, it was
quiet and retired, and represented but a
small number of the bu-y residents of
Frankfort.
In one of the houses dwelt a Jew, whose
love of gain if, indeed,such a passion had
entered into his soul was under the full
domination of his honesty and integrity.
These were jewels which he prized far
above the gold and precious stones with
which his brethren sought to solace them
selves for their outward poverty of appear
ance.
I will not say he was not earnestlv
seeking for means to provide against the
future contingencies of fortune, and to Iaj'
up something for the little ones who sat
around his board; but high above all these
was enthroned a pure principle of honor
and justice, perfectly incorruptible, to the
los3 of which wealth and honors could not
bribe, nor poverty compel him.
The wife of Ben Ileber Rothschild was
a fit companion for such a man. Stately
as an Eastern Princess, and beautiful as
only her own race can be, in wealth and
brilliancy of her deep black eyes and raven
hair distinguished fur the peculiar purple
tint that flashed over all in the sun's rays,
just as the gleam over the ring-dove's neck
Sarah Rothschild was as good as she
wa3 beautiful.
Their house was neat and beautifully
ordered, although the furniture was all of
a simple form, it was made of rare old
wood, that would now bring its weight iu
gold. One closet was devoted to setts of
different patterned Dresden china, the
heir-looms of families who had been impov
erished, and who were glad to let them lie
in the Jew's closet, while they lived upon
the money they biought. Ah I how few
could redeem them. This closet was often
carelessly exposed to strangers, and its
wealth of beautiful cups and plates was the
theme of many lips, as it was the admira
tion of the children of lien lleber. They,
indeed, were never tired of gazing on the
paintings and fine gilding that enriched
the china.
Although the outer closet was thus fear
lessly exposed, few would have imagined
that behind its seemingly secure back
there was an inner one that contained
princely inheritances in gold and diamonds.
This was the trust closet, so constructed
that the closest inspection would not reveal
W ovifitPTirv and iu it were hidden, not
the treasure that extravagance had pawned
and for which the worthy Jew was receiv
ing r.rofits. but simply those which had
been entrusted to his integrity to keep and
for which he would never be paid

to retire to rest, a faint knock was heard
at the door, and was answered bv the mas-

"1 have them here, said the prince,
drawing from beneath his vest a wide gir
dle. On examination, it was found to
press apart with a secret spring, and in its
recesses which were deeply lined with soft
wool, was found a collection of the most
precious and dazzling stones that ever
greeted the eyes of the Jew. Diamonds,
whose lustre was like a j-tar, rubies and
sapphires, each of which was worth a prin
cipality, were in turn admired and com
mented on. and taken accouut )i. It was
past midnight when the examination was
ended and the accounts finished.
"Now." said the Prince, "I would fain
see where my treasure is to lie, that, in
case anything should happen to you and
your wife, I might know where to seek it.
"This is a precaution of only common
prudence," answered the Jew. "You
shall yourself behold it put in a place of
safety, from which it will not be removed
until your return, save in circumstances
n which even the sacrifice of my life may
be demanded."
The shutters were closed to prevent all
prying eyes. The Jtw and his wife re
moved the chiia from one side of the
closet, and then carefully slipped aside the
panel, which had been so beautifully fitted
that no one ignorant of the secret, could
have detected it, the girdle was lowered
into a receptacle beneath the shelf. In a
moment all was replaced. The Prince
bowed his thanks, shook hands with his
new friends, and was soon on the road fly
ing from pursuit.
Months passed into years, and the Jew
worked early and late. The beautiful Sa
rah watched the cradle of her children
with a mother's tender affection. Her
ambition for her sous was not that they
should become great, but good men ; but
she hoped they would become a little more
successful in life than their plodding, la
borious father.
Then came the terrible French invasion,
and those revolutions which convulsed
all Germany. Frankfort, Hamburg, and
Bremen, felt the shock ; and the poor Jews
hunted, pillaged of their wealth, denoun
ced and persecuted, were scarcely able to
escape with their life ; while the horrible
cry of "down with the Jews," prevailed
over all other sounds, and deafened the
ears of the poor Hebrews themselves.
In this time of alarm, contusion and
dread, Sarah Rothschild kept a brave wo
man's heart within her bosom. She did
not blanch from sorrow, but grew more
gloriously beautiful and stately than ever.
A mother and a wife, she lost sight of
hcrsslf in heroic love for the dear objects
of her affection. The house was ransack
ed and pillaged everything of value was
taken by the lawless French soldiery, who
scornfully reviled her husband for com
pelling such a magnificant woman to
drudge out her life in so poor a cage.
The persecution did not cease here. Ev
ery Jew who put his head out of doors
was required to take off his hat to Chris-
tian ; ana 11 ne omutea mis act or numn
iation. he was stoned, and otherwise
abased.
The proud spirit of Sarah chafed to see
her husband and the brave, beautiful boys
who dared to rebel against the multitude,
recieve insults and threatenings from even
the children of the christians.
Years went by. The Prince returned
He had seen both troubles and joyous
limps in the far country which he had
flown to as a refuge ; and now, with re
renewed health and strength, and a brave
Bfrnnf snirit that was determined to take
life as it came, and bear on without mur
muring, he settled quietly down near
Frankfort. All around him were traces
of the recent struggle with a foreign pow
er ; but as the grass springs up elastic
from the foot that treads it down, so does
n ntv or nation recovV itself after the cp-
r.rownrs has been trampling within its
. i
borders.
The German Princs sometimes thought
of the treasure he had committed to the
Jew; but he knew what his class was
reported to have suffered, and felt that in
those times of extremity, human integrity
must fall before th absolute ne vity tna
surrounded the unhappy Jews. He com
forted himself that, at least, the highbred
and stately Jewess and her husband might
have been most essentially benefitted by
the deposit he had left with them, and
thus the matter rested in his mind.
One morning, while the prince was at
breakfast, he was told that a person, wish
ed to see him on business. He desired
his presence in the breakfast room, and,
on his entrance, was surprised aud gratified
by the sight of his old friend the Jew.
"I came," said he, "to speak about the
property left with me."
"Don't mind that at all, my friend'
interrupted the prince, "but come and
take breakfast with me. Is ay, 1 insist
and pray do not mention the affair. I re
joice that it was there to do you service
in a time when you must have needed so
much. Sit down, and iu this admirable
coffee we will drink away its remembrance
altogether."
The Jew took the proffered chair.
"Believe me, Prince, your treasure is
all safe, just as I told you. The closet
was searched again, and again every seam
examined without success. The fine old
china, and, indeed all our possessions were
sacrificed to the plundering rapacity of
the enemy ; but thanks to the name of Is
rael's God, we were enabled to keep se
cret the trust you reposed in us. Yout
property only awaits your order to be re
stored to you as you gave it."
a he Prince was astonished.
"I had scarcely believed in such virtue,
my friend. You have taught me that a
man's integrity may be incorruptible ;
and henceforth I shall have iucreased faith
in the dignity and purity or nunian na
ture."
A few days after this, the Prince called
at the house In Juden Strasse, and receiv
ed his girdle with not a stone missing.
In that very house the children of Ben
IMiilosopliy or ButterOIukins.
As we all know, butter exists in the form
of minute balls or globules, each being en
closed in a sack or membrane-like cover
ing. It is not the material of which but
ter is made that is contained in these little
sacks, but butter itself, in a perfect state.
While invested with their coverings, these
globules float about in the milk, or rise to
the top as cream, but cannot be made to
adhere together. Before this can take
place, the coverings must be removed.
The effect of "churning" is to remove
them, thus liberating the butter, and then
to bring them together into a mass.
lhese facts are known to all intelligent
dairymen. But uow comes the error,
namely, the wupposition that it is of no
consequence how the coverings of the but
ter globules are removed, and the contain
ed butter liberated ; that it is of no mo
i l.i .i i.. i
meat wnetner tne outter globules arc
crushed or ground between hard surfaces,
or burst by concussion from being dashed
violently against hard substances, or by
whirling bars, slats or rods rapidly through
ine mils or cream; or wnetner tney are
released from their investments in some
more gentle manner. Now this is all
mistaKe. it is or tne most essential im
portance, if we would have good butter,
how the globule is divested of its cover
ing ; and we will state why :
"Butter being in the most perfect con
dition possible while it is in its globular
state, and covered with its natural invest
ment, any change of that condition except
ing the mere removal of this investment,
whether from the temperature being raised
too high, Irom the globules being crushed,
mashed or broken down, or their natural
conformation being in any other manner
destroyed or to any extent altered, neces
sarily injuies the quality of the butter.

Heber were educated in the principles of is injured by being "worked," which is
honor and justice. Everywhere the in-' only a process of pressing the globules

and. presents alone were uot sufficient.
The world heard the tale, and the humble
Jew received not only the trust but the
companionship or princes and nobles. In
11 parts of the commercial world men
heard tne name witn veneration, ana at
this day his family are scattered about
in the giandest cities in Europe, the inon
archs of finance, the arbiters of the mon
ey market, the successful, because honor

tions.

and integrity. Such is a true sketch of
the great house of Rothschild.
Deprived of the Gospel bv Foxes.
That was a novel but not so bad an argu
ment which the mountain member urged
in the Kentucky Legislature.
A few years ago, a bill proposing a pre
mium on fox scalps wae under discussion.
It had been eomewhat roughly handled
in debate by members from the more pop
ulous regions, where foxes were scarce,
and Mr. L
upon each other, aud thereby crushing
them out of their original shape and state
iuto a compact mass, like lard. It is for
this reason, also, that the modern contri
vances for grinding milk and cream be
tween metallic rollers or revolving disks,
and all the quick-:noving rotary churns,
while they may "bring the butter" quick
ly, injure its quality, making good grease
rather than good butter. The bft butter
is said to have a "grain." What does
this mean ? Simply that the original
globular formation ot the butter has not
been broken down, and just to the extent
that it is broken down is the quality inju
red ; the "grain" disappearing, and the
mass becoming "greasy" and lard-like.
The butter globule must not, then, be di
vested of its covering by auy process which
shall break down its original structure, if
we would have good butter.
What, then, is the true method of re
moving the coverings of the butter glob
ules ? We answer, that it is to wear them
off by the rubbing of the globules against
each other and upon the fluid surrounding
them ; not by crushing or bursting them
by grinding, pressing or striking them
with cr against hard substances, but by a
continuous but geutle aoitation,
friction among the globules themselves.
Another essential is that all the butter
globules shall be divested of their cover
ings, as nearly as possible, at the same
time ; otherwise, some are too much
"worked" before the others are free, and
some may not be liberated at all, and re
main in the butter-milk.
At a ball given in Pyrmont, & celebra
ted watering-place in Germany, the tutor
of a youog count, a Gottingen student, re
quested a young lady to dance with him.-
Just as the dance was about to com
mence, the lady inquirel of him,
" ith whom have I the honor of dan
cing :
'I am the tutor of Count Z ," re
plied her partner.
And a commoner, I presume 1 bhe
rejoined, to which he answered iu the af
firmative.
"Oh, then," continued the lady, as she
withdrew her hand from that of the tutor,
"I beg you will excuse me, for mamma
has forbidden me to. dance with a com
moner." This rebuff completely threw the modest
preceptor out of countenance, for on the
continent to be so deserted on the eve of
a dance, is to lose caste for the rest of the
night, if not longer. It is supposed to in
dicate the existence of some moral taint
discovered by the person who quits the
side of another, and which is exaggerated
into something heinous by the company,
particularly if they are utterly ignorant of
what it is.
The voung man quitted the room, and
sought the open air to breathe more free
ly and collect himself.
His pup;l followed him, and learned the
cause of his distress.
"You shall soon have ample satisfaction
for this mortification," said the generous
count, and hastened back to the ball-room
followed by his tutor.
The moment was propitious. . Prepara
tions were going forward for another
waltz ; the 3oung count requested the re
jecter of his tutor to be his partner in the
dance, and she eagerly accepted the pro
posal, no doubt greatly rejoiced at the
immense stride which she had taken from
ranking with the humble tutor to paring
off with the wealthy noble-
Just before the dance began, he addres
sed to her the question which she herself
had put :
"With whom have I the honor of dan
cing?" "With the Lady Yon B- -," she re
plied. "Oh, I beg your pardon," eaid the
,count, "but papa has forbidden me to
dance with any but countesses," and in
stantly quitted her side.

Origin of Hail Colombia. The
song of Hail Columbia, adapted in a meas
ure to the President's March, was written
by Joseph Hopkinson, of Philadelphia, in
1798. At that time, war with France was
expected, and a patriotic feeling pervaded
the community. Mr. Fox, a young singer
and actor, called upon Mr. Hopkinson one
laorning, and said :
"To-morrow evening is appointed for my
benefit at the theatre. Not a single box
has been taken, and I fear there will be a
thin house. If you will write me 6ome
patriotic verses to the tune of the Presi
dent's March, I would feel sure of a full
house. Several people about the theatre
have attempted it, but they have come to
the conclusion that it cannot be done.
Yet I think you may succeed."
Mr. Hopkinson retired to his .study,
wrote the first verse and chorus, and sub
mitted them to a harpsichord accompani
ment. The time and the words harmo
nized. The song was 600n finished, and
that evening the young actor received it.
The next morning the theatre placards an
nounced that Mr. Fox would give a new
patriotic song. The house was crowded
the song was sung the audience were
delighted eight times it wa3 called for
and repeated, and when sung the ninth
time, the whole audience stood up and
joined to the chorus. Night after night
"Hail Columbia" was applauded in the
theatre ; and in a few days it was the uni
versal song of the boys in our 6treets.
Such was the origin of" on" "national eong,
"Hail Columbia."
