The Deserted Homestead. There is a lonely hdmestead, In a green and quiet vale, With its tall trees sighing mournfully, To every passjnggale. There areTmany ruins round if, In the sunlight gleaming fair, ^ But moss-grown is that silver cot, - Its walls are gray and bare. Where once glad voices sounded, Of children in their mirth, NQ wttisper breaks the solitude Of that deserted hearth. • ^ ! h«wallow-fiwn-its-thvelKn_ To the low eaves hath flown, And all night long the whlppoorwill Sings by the threshold stone. No hand above the lattice, Ties up the trailing- vinen, And through the broken casement panes The moon at midnight shines. And many a solemn shadow Seems standing from the gloom, Like forms- of long departed ones, Peopling thaf dark room. O ! where are they whose voices Rang out o'er hilljj-nd dale ? Gone I and their mournful memories -Seem but an rift-told tale.' Some to the qniefchurch-yard, And some beyond the sea, •j|o meet no more as once they met „ Beneath that old roof tree. Fame and ambitiorTlured I Hem From that green vale to roam, But as their dazzling dreams depart Regretful memories come, Of the valley and the homestead Of their childhood pure and free, Till each worn weary spirit yearns That home once more to see. O! blest are they who linger 'Mid old familiar things, Where every object round the heart Its hallowed influence flings, Though wou arc wealth and honors, Though reached fame's lofty.dome, There are no joys like, those' which spring Within our childhood's home.

HaO^ faith 1 we cannot change our fate, UnMsely grieving o'er the past f And while we live, 'tis not too late To hope fur calm and joy at last ! J know how full of fearfulness The heart hath borne its load of pain, How fortune's smile and soft caress Have mingled with the storm again. But still, I turn-not hopeless back, I am not with the tempest bowed ; There's Spring beyond the Winter's track, And light behind the darkest cloud ! Jluguitl, 1845. DIDN'T \ SHUTE.\— \ clevef story Is rela ted in the Concordia Intelligencer, of an old lady who • sot tip' to seo the stars shute and was disappointed. She was wilfully imposed upon by a 'Professor' somebody—but hear her: ' He told me as how that on the 22d day of the month the stars were gWnio to fall again like I had hearn tell of; the time that some folks tho't the world was goin' to be set on fire. Well, stranger, I counted the.days and *t last, accordin' to the notches I cut id the door post thar the 22d came. I had supper Uncommon late that night, and left the coffee pot bilin', and some cold pork and greens and corn pone sot by the fire, and determined t o set up and see the stars shute. It was sortey ofTat a little distance till the signal should in dicate the time for him to approach. The Quaker now rang the bell, and, when the servant appeared, requested him to inform, the gentleman of whom he was in search, that a friend wished to speak with him at the -doorw coolisb, but 1 got under that shed so that I could give 'em a fair chance, and Isot, and sot, end sot, and smoked a poweiful deal, and then I'd eat a hit, and take a sup of coffee, and watch agin—and I kept it up till broad day light and I didn't see a single-one of the blasted vritters budge'.'

How a Tailor Collected a Debt. . _ : X- TRUE- 8TORT.- Near the close of the last century, a Qua ker knight of the shears and thimble, who ex ercised his avocation in Philadelphia, was imposed upon by np admit scoundrel, whn contrived to get a suit of clothes on credit, and afterwards sloped without paying for them* TJie Quaker was too poor to lose the debt, but like too many others of his cloth,.he had apparently no other alternative. Thcac* ivds placed on ills DOOKS ana soon lor- gotten. Some years afterwards he was exr amining his old records of debt and credit, profit and loss, when his attention wus attrac ted to this account, and all the circumstances attending it came fresh to mrnrL SaddenTy on odd thought suggested itself. 'I'll try an experiment,' said he to himself; 'perhaps 1 may succeed, in catching the rogue and getting my pay.' .HelmnTe^lateiyprepafed an advertisemefir| in substance as follows, which he inserted in the.Philadelphia Gazette:—'If J C- , who was in Philadelphia about the month of the year 1795, will send his ad- and thou wilt find -me ready to con-fess the fault.' * You - said I should hear something to my advantage, if I would come here.' ' Thou .art mistaken,' immediately respon ded the Quaker; ' I only promised that thou shouldst-hear of something--' to-advanlage-4 1 and is it not to the advantage of a poor tailor to collect an old debt V ' If I con catch you in the street,' said the swindlerrwith-an-oath—and—in—theldeepi est wi rage,' I'll give you such a cowhiding as will not leave the breath in your body.' ' Nonsense, now, said the Quaker; ' if thou really intends to do nny thing of that' sort-we had-better step out into the back in dress to the Editor of'this paper, he will hear something to advantage. Printers in the neighboring States are requested to copy.'— The latter clause was inserted from a vague suspicion that the rogue had -taken up nis abode in New'York. Having instructed the Editor not to dis close his name to the rogue if he should call but to request the latter to leave his address, the .Quaker patiently awaited tho. result of his experiment. In a short time he i. dividual * alluded to in the advertisement, having arrived from New York, might he found at a given place in the city. The trfilor lost no- time in preparing a tran script ofhis'accou'ntT^notTorgetting to charge interest from the time that the debt was in curred. • Taking a constable with him, who bore a legal process suited to the occasion, he soon arrived at the lodgings of the swind- The man c-ieyed the summons, and soon both debtor and creditot were* looking each other in the face. ' How dost thou do ? kindly inquired the Quaker, ' Perhaps thou dost not know me.' ' I believe I have not had the pleasure of your acquaintance,' politely answered our hero. ' Dost thou remember purchasing a suit of clothes several years ago of a poor tailor and forgetting to pay for them V asked the Qua^ ker. ' O no,' said the gentleman, blushing slightly; you must ba mistaken\in.the per son. It cannot be me that you wished to find.' —^Arnl John! Ilniow^he^eTy-welir-Thw art the very man I wished to see. Thou hast on at this moment the very waistcoat that I made for thee. Thou must acknowl edge it was of goodstufTandwe.il made, or it could not have lasted thee so long.' - ' O yes,' said the gentleman, appearing suddenly to recollect himself; ' I do remem ber now the circumstances to which you al lude. Yes, yes—I had intended to call and settle that little bill before leaving Philadel- F bia, and you may depend on my doing so. have come here to take possession of a large amount of property which has fallen to me by will. See ! here is the advertisement which apprised me of my good fortune.' Here he handed to the Quaker a N. York paper containing a copy of the advertisement whose history we have given above. The Quaker looked at it with imperturbable-gravi ty and continued— ' Yes, I see thou art in luck, but as my de mand is a small one, I think 'I must insist on- payment before thou comes in possession of thy large estates.' The proper signal hero brought the con stable into the presence of the parties. The swindler was particularly astonished at the appearance of this functionary, who immedi- atelybegan to execute bis part of thewdraroa. ' What!' exclaimed the rogue in an angry tone ; ' you surely hsvn't sued me V ' Yes, 1 havefr^eplied—the-Quaker,'' and thou shouldst be thankful that nothing worse has happened to thee' , • ' Come in, then,' said the debtor, finding himself fairly caught,' come in, and I will pay yoir-if I must.' The three went into*the house together, and the slippery gentleman having ascertain ed the amount of the hill, paid it in full. The tailor having signed'the receipt, placed in the hands of his late creditor, with feelings sueh as may be readily imagined. DIE\ swindler took it arid fo£ the first time glanced at the various items of which it was composed. He said nothing till he came to the last charge, which was 'for advertising,' when Jie broke forth— , f Halloo! what's this ? A forda\vertving ? That's^n odd charge in a tailor's bill. Y/our'e cheating me!' • O no,'coolly repjied the Quaker ; ' that is all righti-^^wecharged4hee4he-co6tK>f- pubfishing the advertisement which, thou just showed me.' Hera the*-swindler uttered a horrid oath, as he demanded,' Do you mean to\say that you caused the publication of that advertise ment?'. '.Truly I did,' replied the Quaker wjth *t«ost-provoktng coolness. ' You told a - He in it,' quickly re torted the rogue. . ' Convince me of that,' said the, Quaker, yard and finish the business at once.' The rogue was completely nonplused\ by the coolness of the Quaker, and stood speech less and almost petrified. ' Now, 1 said the tailor good naluredly,' let me give thee a piece of advice. When next thou, hast occasion \o get a suit of clothes, thou'had better not attempt to cheat the poor tailor, but pay him honestly, for then will thy conscience not disturb thee and thy sleep will be sweet and refreshing. Farewell ! r There is no doubt of the literal truth of this story, a s we received-it sometime since from the lips of the Quaker himself. PHYSICAL NECESSITY OF A SABBATH —The following observations of Dr. Farre, given be fore a committee of the British House of Com mons, will be read- -wJ^graaijnteDaeL-bv; ev ery reflecting man :—' 1 have been in the' habit, during asgrcat many years, of consid ering the uses of the Sabbath, and of obser ving its abuses. The abuses are chiefly ma nifested in labor and dissipation. The use medically-speaking, i s that-of aday o£ rest. In a theological sense it is a holy rest proyi- ing for the introduction of new and subli- mer ideas into the -mind of man, preparing him for his future state. As 0 day ol rest I view it as a day of-compensation for the inad equate restorative power of the body under continued labor and excitement. A physi cian always has respect for the preservation of the restorative power, because, if once this bo lost, his healing office is at an end. If I show you, from lko>physio!ogit;al view of the ,-,,,„i!;,,,, ii..,,-ii,„ ., ...„,i ...r. question, ijiuftherb ute provisions iii-lhe law of nature which correspond with the divine commandment, you will see from the analo gy, that' the Sabbath was made for man' as a necessary appointment. A physician is anxious'to preserve tho balance of circula tion, as necessary to the restorative power of llie^body.^Thc ordinary' exertions of man run down -the- circulation, every day. of his life ; and the first general law of nature by which God (who. is not only the giver, but also the preserver and sustainer of life) pre vents man from destroying himself, is ihe al ternating of day with night, that repose may succeed action. But although the night ap parently 'equalises tliu w.«-.l a j4nn well, yet it does not sufficiently restore its balance ibrj the attainment of a long life. Henoe one day in . seven, \by the bounty of Providence is thrown in as a day of compensation-, -to per fect by its repose the animal-sys'tem. You may easily determine this-qu'estipn, asa'mat ter of-fact. by trying it on beasts of burden. Take that fine animal thojiorsei and_ work him to the full extent of his power every day IrTthlTweekTof giiTe him rest one day i n se ven, and you will soon perceive, by the supe rior ease which he performs his functions on the other six days, that this rest is necessary to hi3 well being. Man possessing a superi or nature is borne along by the very vigor of his mind, so that the injury of continued di urnal exertion and excitement.on his animal system is not so immediately apparent as it is in the brute ; but in tho long run ho breaks down more suddenly ;.it abrjdgfes the length of his life and the vigor of his old age, which as the mere animal power ought to b e the ob ject of his preservation. I consider, there fore, that in the bountiful provision of Provi dence fortho preservation of human life, the sabbatical appointment is not, as it has been sometimes theologically viewed, simply a pre cept partaking of the nature of 9; •political in stitution, but that it ^'s to 'ttc numbered fi- mongst the natural duties, if the preservation of life -he .admitted to be a duty, and-the pre mature destruction of.it a suicidal act. This is said simply as a physician, and without reference at all to the theological question ; but if you consider further the proper effect of real Christianity—namely, pence of mind, confiding trust in God, and good will toman —you will perceive iir ibis source of renewed \igor to the mind and through the mind to the body, an additional spring of life imparl ed from his higher use of the Sabbath as a day of holy rest. Were I to pursue this part of the question, I should b e touching on the duties Tommjtted to thp clergy ; hut -this I will say, that re- searcheHn physiology, by the analogy of the working of Providence in nature, will estab lish the truth of revelation, and consequently show that the divine commandment is not to ,be considered as a n arbitrary enactment, but as an appointment necessary to man. This is the position in which I would place it. as contradistinguished from precept and legisla tion.; I would point out the sabbatical rest as necessary to man, and that the great enc- [mies of the sabbath, and consequently the enemies of man, axe.all laborious exercises of the body or mind, and dissipation, which force the circulation on that day-iDr-which it should repose; whilst relaxation from the, --- «• „ _,. -. _ i.„=- „ ordinary cares of life, the enjoyment of thisR thsrpitoce.\ The app cht.ee ^™°sb\ repose-irrthrrbgsom of-one^s family with the I \»?««'• wish, nnd berngal.tlle provoke^t religious studies and duties which the day en-.[j? joins, (not one-of-which, if rightly exercised-, tends to abridge life,) constitute the benefi- |^ial-and -appmpuatcv5ewice -<)f-tho-day»--The-| student of nature, in becoming the student of Christ, will find in the principles of his doctrine and law, and in the practical appli cation Sf them, the only and •perfect science which belongs to the ]iresent,inid perfectsthe future.' •Let every man beThe champion of right.

DAIRY—QUALITY 1 OF MILK. In many parts of the country the dairy is such an object, and it is so desirable to have a living machine ihat^mveafrjertrinrnliund- SrTeciion, J ^Pi 'ood anue-uiiu |terlection, jlrV\looirit consumes, to 80 useful, so profitable, and so essential an article, as milk*, that the breedsihe most dis tinguished for that property must^^lsyays be in great demand. But whether a particular \breed shouIilTTe Tiept \entirely for that par- should give tor the first three inon'hs -after calving, from fifteen to eighteen quarts of milk per day, which will produce, if of good quality, 1 1-4 lbs. of butter—or nenrlv nine lbs. per week. • Wherr'the mmrbrTftf cows is greator the average will be less, because where there is one or two cows, a deficiency in one of them is immediately- noticed ; thd cow is got rid of, nnd n better one substiUi- tcd. A ^ The excellency ol a dairy cow is c ^nnaTcTt - bj the quantity and quality 'of her milk, uml the quality of milk is e.stim.ited by the quan tity of butter tliut it will jreld. Much de pends on the quality of the food, but more on the annual. The writer has known one cow whose- milk uuuiJ ual producx luiUrx, und never was discovered whilo milked with the herd, but was soon upparcnt when sepa rated nnd milked alone. There is a simple instrument, called the Lactometer, used for measuring the relative qualities of cream which the imlk of differ ent cows, at the d liferent seasons of the year, affords. Il-cotisir-ts of n inuhognni stand, supporting six glass tubes of equal length and diameter. These tubes arc umrlad ten inches from I In- bottom, and graduated down in 10;l's uf an iin-h fifr three inches. JJow, the milk from the different cows ia poured in to each lube, (which should be marked with tho name of the .cow,) and filled-to the upper or ten inch line, and the number of degrees the thickness of the cream occupies 111 each l-qucncef 1 wilHel^rijemVflnA Trt^-^^^ pep-eentogev I-Vire-saiii- 1 ' '\' 1 \ ' |A« 1 it' 1 he bottom of life crctlrft\ stutidd at one inch, it denotes 10 pot ceul crenm. right yet lnyerilcd.

Another at 40 degrees 9 per cent, while two at 40 degrees stood at 8 1-2 and 7 ]-!? per cent. The milk of four cows tnivpri, in a tempi ruture of 4^ decrees, marked 11 per cent.
