Miscellaneous Articles. THK evening hour. «r wis. Contwr.il B il« Wir.^oir, This is the hour when memory wakes Visionsof joy that could not lact, Th's is the hour when fancy take* A survey ofthe part! She Brings before the pensive mind, The hallowed scenes of earlier year j And friends who long have been consigned To silence and to tears ! The few we liked—the one we loved A Sacred bands come stealing on ! And many a form far hence removed, And many a pleasure gone ! Friendships that now in deal!) arc hush’d And young affectioefe broken chain; And hopes that fate too quickly crush’d, In memory bloom again! Few watch thefading gleam* of day, But muse on hopes as quickly flown! Tint after tint, they dice away. Till all at last were gone! Hus is the hour when fancy wreaths Her spells round joys that could iot last, This is the hour when memory breathes A sight of pleasure past! The reason why women have no heard. Nature adapting all tilings in their place, Planted no beard upon a woman’s face ! Not I’ackwood’s razors tho’ the very best, Could shave a chin that tiever teat rest. SEEING DOUBLE, A certain doctor was called upon to visit a mercenary, nervous old lady, who said “ doctor, I can’t tell what’s the matter with me ; mv head is so j bad I seem to see douijie.” “ Then count your money, madam,” said the doctor, “ it will comfort you.” A CONSCIENTIOUS M AN. A gentleman lately made a demand on a person for principal and interest due on a note of hand, when the latter stated it was against his principle to nav the interest nor was it, lie stated, nis interest to pay flic principal. Thales, the Milesian, one of the sev en wise men of Greece, being asked, w hat is the oldest tiling i lie answered, God : because he lias ever been, and exists immutably. What is the hand somest thingp He said, the world: be cause nis the work of God. What the largest thing? Space: because it com prehends every thing besides. What - the most lasting 3 Hope: because when all other tilings fail, that remains. What the best tiling? Virtue; for without it nothing that is good can be said or done. What the quickest i The thoughts of the human mind : because m one moment they overturn the uni veise. What the strongest? Neces *itv : bee.iuse it surmounts all other accidents. W hat the easiest ?

Observing that a premium Is offered hy tlic Agricultural -ociety, fur the greatest quantity of Butter obtained from three cows, I shall throw together a few unconnected observations, for the benefit of those who may be inclined to enter into the contest. Al though we nil know what a good cow is, yet,for form’s sake it will be best to begin by describing the chief points to be attended to. *he should have horns wide apart and smooth, thin head and neck, large dewlap, full breast, broad back, deep belly, large but not fleshy udder, long large teats, broad and fleshy buttocks, tail long and pliable. Good milkers ate not apt to glow fat, as the food runs to milk. 1 he size of the cows, and indeed of all horned cattle, should be proportion ed to the fertility of the ground ; large for rich land, small for poor ; for on short pasture, a large beast will have no j tune to rest and ruminate. It has been said, that the longer any land has lam ' to grass,the bett'-r, and the more is the butter it will yield ; while trie curdy : substance of which cheese is formed, ! abounds more in clover, and new of cold and moist pastures. I must complain that the anxiety of our housewives to make butter, injures ! the calves, which are killed so youm* 1 that their meat resembles fish rather than flesh. This might very easily be prevented, and the animals suffered to live a month longer without stopping ♦he churn. After the first week, let thp call' be fed with skimmed milk, thickened with two or three handfuls ot Indian meal, daily, and give it twice every day ‘wo balls as large as a hen’s egy, made ol Indian meal, one egg and a little ll.txseed oil.—An experiment was made on two calves, the one was permitted to suck thrice a day, the oth er was treated as above, and at the end <d a month, the last was the largest and the best. Attention to this method I would not only improve our veal, but increase our bu ter. Calves fatten best in the dark because light is an ex- I citement which renders them restless. The practice of milking thrice a dav, especially when rows are in good pas ture, is recommended ; each milkin'* will give almost as much as if only done twics for when the udder is full, the milk begin to be absorbed into the bodv of the animal. This practice will be found to increase not only the quantity of manure, but of milk. J MHk should be poured into the pans as soon as possible, and if carried far, or much shook, never gives abundant or good cream. In order to find the richness of the milk of your different cows, pour the fit't of the milking of each into glass tumblers, and when the cream has, ri | vou can ea-ilv see which bears the thickest coat. Winter’s mille, although It -s abundant, wiil be found to be ricfi j «r than summer’s. Milk gradually increases in rich ne**, from the.first drop drawn to the very last. Take a tumbler full of the first, and anotlier of the last; you will find that the first yields not one tenth part as much cream as the last; and j the difference of its quality is as great : »* llmt of its quantity.—She who by 1 careless milking, leaves half a pint, iii ! reality loses not only as much cream a-the first five pints afford, but also i all that part of the cream which gives richness and flavor to the butter, and dries up the cow into the bargain. A milk pan should not be above S inches deep. I’he thickness and quali ty of cream is said to be much iinpruv \ f* 1 b ? pouring the new milk into a pan just taken out of boiling water, and co vering it with another of the same. It ts said that a table spoon full of powdered saltpetre, stirrcil, a few hours b< lore churning, into us much cream as makes 121 b of butter, will prevent the Ihivm ol wild onion, and p.obablv any ■ other taste of foul * The cream that rises first makes the choicest butter ; what comes after wards isot an inferior quality. We • may toils make two qualities of butt. r.. Hotter cannot be made till the cream ‘ l L“T‘J ,at T“ r; >‘ uu degin to i churn before that time, half your hi ' *> r »»l.‘*t •" sounng it, which trouble, a little v tiiegar, or cue day’s keeping will prevent. 1 ° The following recipe makes a *wt of cream Highly retailed i ti every Ku-lish ! fa :; f n to"*: : . Wined milk; beginning to sour, put it i utoa churn, and the churn into a barrel 1 which fill with hot water as high as the » milk i» the churn ; cover all with a thick cloth, and let it stand 6 or g hours. You will then find a thick sourish cream at top, which is esteemed a great deli cacy when eaten with sugar. Under neath is a thin watery liquid which you separate from the cream a3 you please, but the best way is to draw it off by a spigot at the bottom of the churn. Nearly half the milk becomes cream, the goodness of which -depends upoH the sourness of the milk used, and the heat of the water in the barrel* For these no positive direction canke given, but a few trials will easily determine.
