Might wear out life like thee, 'mid bowers and brooks, . : And, dearer yet, the sunshine of kind looks, . And music of kind voices, ever nigh; And when my last sand twinkled in the glass -- Pass silently from men, as thou dost pass. ae i! From the Canadian Agriculturist.

The Butter, imme churned, should be thrown into fresh spring water, where it should remain for oue hour at least, that it may grow firm; and, at the end of the third or fourth washing, some fine salt should be put into the water, which will rise the color of the Butter, and purge away any milk that may remain among it. Before salting, it is very essential that no milk or water be left, otherwise a strony diately after being smell and unpleasant taste will be the cer- tain consequence. 5th. The Butter thus prepared should be immediately salted, The proportions of salt may be from one and one-fourth to one aad one-half ounce of Scotch salt fur the pound of Butter; or, of the best stoved Se00NccoCoCOCSoSoS Sesoocos ScoolDOoSoS OSC ooOSOoSeSO SScoSooOOS® rock or bay salt, one ounce for the pound. But when Butteris not intended to be kept through the winter and spring, or for any long period, the quantities of salt above re- commended may be somewhat reduced, the -Curer exercising his own judgment in doing see . | ~N. B.--In Ireland, the use of salt and saltpetre, is recommended, in proportions of one ounce of stoved rock or bay salt, and one- fifth of an ounce of saltpetre to the Aber- deen pound. 6th. It is a very injurious practice tu keep a making of Butter uncured to the next churning, for the purpose of mixing the two together. This mode invariably injures the flavor of the whole, and renders it of too soft a quality ever afterwards to get firm. This applies to Curers who are the pradu- cers of the Butter; but as the greatest quantity of the Butter in this country is collected and cured by merchants, they are particularly cautioned against the too com- mon practice of throwing the fresh Butter together, and retaining it in that state for days, until they have collected what they consider a sufficient quantity to commence curing: the Butter treated in that manner is invariably found inferior to what is salted shortly after churning. Should, however, there not be a sufficient. quantity collected in one day to fill a package when cured, the quality of the Butter may in a great mea- sure be preserved, by giving it a partial salting, and covering it over with a clean linen cloth, dipped in pickle, and placing it in a cool situation. Country dealers who are in the habit of sending carts through the dis- tricts where they reside, to collect the But- ter, should endeavor to arrange it so be- tween themselves and the makers of the Butter, that is churned upon the day that it is called for. 7th. When the Butter is cured, it should be tramped firm into the firkin with a round wooded tramp-stick, of sufficient weight and thickness. 'he firkin should be filled up to the crose, and then covered over with a lit- tle of the purest salt,--sufficient room being _ merely left for the head of the cask, which must be well secured, to exclude air, and to prevent the pickle from getting out.

How ro Make Goop Tra.--If men can be induc#d to build rain-water cisterns by recommending rain-water for tea, then some good may arise from tea-drinking. I have no doubt that rain-water is far more healthy, and when properly filtrated, is as pure as the running spring. 'Then why is it not more used? Jn numerous places, a supply of water could be had from the roofs of farm buildings, at one half the expense that it is obtained at from deep wells. I hope every tea-drinker in the country will} become perfectly convinced that good tea can only be made from rain-water, and then cisterns will become fashionable.

The fund sought to be raised is therefore not intended to be set aside to maintain able- bodied men in idleness for an indefinite period, but to enable the Canadian Society to respond to the large claims made upon it, to'supply the more. immediate and pressing demands of the Fugitives on their arrival, and until they have sufficiently recovered from fatigue to avail themselves of the | advantages of abundant employment and. food, good wages, cheap land, equal liberty, and im- partial laws, and the privileges and rights which | are common to other classes of Canadians. Canada being the nearest of the British Colonies to the United States, (the stronghold of Slavery) it is of no small importance to encourage the 1m- provement and elevation of these negro refugees, because of the influence, direct and reflex, which would thereby be brought to bear upon American. Slavery, The black settlers of Canada are nearly all of them fugitives from slavery. Their im- provement would be a triumphant rebuke to those who once held them as ehattles, and to those who hold that the slave requires. to be prepared for freedom; for they would exhibit the spectacle of a people just escaped from the galling yoke com- peting as free men, successfully and honourably with other labour.

Scriprurr Manuat, has probably afforded him the best. pos- sible facilities for personally testing the strength his positions, and for the attainment. of certain important information, but little of which he had previously been able to obtain. All may rest as. . sured, however, that no undue advantage will ever be taken of the frankness and candor with | which Christians of every name, as well as-skep. tics of every class, have freely expressed their convictions in the presence offthe Travelling Col. porteur ; the capacity in which the Publisher is still extending his observations through Canada and the neighboring States. x _ €O-LABORERS: THUGS Of distinguished worth and of -well-khown literary ability, are already secured in the several sections of Canada, and in the Stales of the A. merican Union; and arrangements are now in progress, to obtain from living responsible writere in Britain, important assistance in the develupe- -- ment of the Trigune's Mission. aA " 'PERMS AND NOTICES: 9° The Terms are One Dollar per Annum in ad- vance,--otherwise Two.
