BAGGAGE TRAIN. Be Careful of your Money. When life is full of health and glee, Work, work, as busy as a beel AnJ take this yentle hint from me Be careful of your money! . You'll find it true, that friends are few When you are short of money! The single grain cast in the mould May spring and give a hundred fold: More precious than its weight in gold! Be careful of your money! The grain you sow to stacks may grow: Be careful of your money! But do not shut sweet mercy's doors When sorrow pleads or want implores; To help to heal Misfortune's sores, Be careful of your money! To help the poor who seek your door, Be careful of your money 1 Would you ecnpethe beggar's lot, The death bed of the tippling sot, And live in sweet contentment's cot? Be careful of your money 1 And if you need a frii-nd indeed, Be careful of your money! SALLY SLY AND JANE McKEAN. HUMOROUS REPORT ON BUTTER, We copy the following from the Farmer's Monthly Visitor. There is a good moral conveyed in it, told with a rich vein of humor that is capital. It is from the pen of S. D. Little, of the Merrimac, (N. H.,) Agricultural Society. The magnificence of the Creator is manifested ' in so disposing our tastes and so adapting these as to make life a scene of enjoyment instead of a burden. It might have been that necessary food would have been noisome as it is sometimes to the diseased stomach had it not have pleased the Creator 10 have ordered it otherwise. Bread is the staff of life, but. butter is given to make it slip down easier, and witli a belter relish. But it depends something on who makes the butter, whether it answers "this purpose. Butter made in Joe Bunker's house, needs to be eaten in tne dark; then to make it pass well, one or two other st-nses should be laid aside while that made by his brother Jonathan may be. eaten in the full blaze of noon; you would wish that your neck was as long again, that you might have the pleasurable sensation of swallowing prolonged. Perhaps h bit of the his'iory of their belter halves will explain the whole mailer. Joe's wile was Sally Sly when a small girl she was sly she would ."ot half wash the milk p iil, but sly it away and let it sour. She was sly at school and did not half get her lessons, but would have her book in sight when reciting but as she grew older she learned that to uet well married, she must appear well, and so she bent all her cunning to get a superficial education in everything, from roasting a potato to playing the pimo. 1'oor Joe fell in love with her, and "love has no eyes," so he married her. But soon alter she entered on housekeeping, his eye sight came, that it was "for belter or worse," and he thought it was all for worse. Like a true philosopher, he concluded to endure what he could not avoid or cure, and got along tolerably well, only when he came to her butler, for his moiher was a real butter maker. Every time he saw or tasted of Sallj's butter he felt the horrors. Her manner of making butter; is somewhat as follows: She thinks it of no consequence whether the milk pail is sweet or sour sets the milk in a warm room, because it is easier than to go into the cellar, and if some dirt should blow into the pans she thinks every man must "eat a peck of dirt," and in no place will it slip down easier than in butter -she lets the cream pols be open, and when she churns forgets the poke; leaves the cream at blood heat that it may come quick. When she takes it out of the churn she picks out the bodies of all flies and spiders the legs and wings are so small they can be swallowed. She works out half the buttermilk and sets it away in a warm place for use. Poor Joe has seen so much of this kind that he declares butter does not agree with his health, and will not taste it. Yet his wife wonders why he does not try it. and marvels why he does not keep a dairy, and make butter for market. - Jonathan was a younger brother of Joe, and he had occasion to eat at his brother's enough to know why he did not eat butter; and he declared he never would marry without knowing what his bread would be buttered with. Following the bent of his fancy, he made several attempts at matrimony, and Julia Jumper almost caught him for there was always good butter on the table for tea, but he was determined to know who made it. On inquiry, she says: "Lame! mo ther makes the butte 1 take lessons on the piano. "Well" says Jonathan, "I want a wife that takes lessons on the churn I shall look further." After several unsuccessful attempts, and just ready to despair, he started in pursuit of stray cattle before breaktast, and wandered through I the forest into the next town, and weary and hungry, called at a decent looking house and asked for some refreshments, which were most cordially granted, for the family were what are called Scoich Irish in religion Presbyterian, and in hospi ality boundless. Here he found the butter exactly right; though the weather was hot, the butter kept its shape as well as beeswax. He catechised the old lady about her housewifery, for the bread was as right as the butter. The old lady said her health was feeble she could do but little, and Jenny had the whole management. He made some roundabout inquiries concerning Jenny: and heard that she was a hearty, black eyed lass of about two and twenty; had never ween a piano or attended a ball, but knew the assembly's catechism, and could sing Old Hundred to a charm; spin fl;x and darn stockings, and was then gone to town wi h but er. He lingered, but she was delayed, and when his excuses for slaving were exhausted, he started. He could not get the good butter out of his mind, and how it happened I know not, lie soon found ids way there again, and the result of his adventure was he made a wife of Jane McKean. And now one lump of his butter is worth more than Joe's wife would make in a month. There's no trouble in going1 to market, the keepers of genteel boarding houses in the neighboring villages send and take it at the highest market price.

Now ihe main difference between these two r.. . . r ,k

women arises from the manner of training, tho there is no difference in natural disposition. Old Madam Sly never looked on lo see that Sally did up her work right, but suffered her to shy off her work as she chose, and though a good housekeeper herself, was altogether too indulgent, and like some other mothers, thought more of getting Sally well married than of making her fit for a wife while old madam McKean was determined Jenny should be tit for any man's wife, whether she got married or not. Perhaps there is no more certain criterion by which to judge of woman's general character for neatness and good house-keeping, than by the quality of her butter. Find on the farmer's table, a good solid, properly sailed, well. worked slice of butter, and you need not fear to eat the cakes or hash; but see a splash of half worked butter salt in lumps, and a sprinkling of hair and flies' legs, you may be sure that if you board there very long, death will not be obliged to wait much for you to finish your peck of dirt. My advice is, to young farmers, to make it a 6INE qua kon in a wife that she makes prime but ter, and the young ladies who aspire to be farm er's wives had much better be imperfect in filla gree and music, than be deficient in that most important art of making butter, which smoothes not only the sharp corners of crust and crackers but will smooth asperities of the husband s tern per The Bull Dog:. The Bull Dog is the most bru tal and the least intelligent of its species; its de pressed forehead, its underhanging jaws and blood-shot eves, unite in forming the very per Bonification of the savage. Although capable of forming some attachment, it cannot be relied upon as a friend. So utterly without intellect is the bull dog, that it will attack any thing that gives offense. This dog has never been a pet in the United States, but in England, among a large class of cuizens, it is carefully raised, and em ployed in bull-baits. The dog, while fastened to the nose of some unfortunate bull, has one leg after another cut off with a knife, to test its courage; and this display has been hailed by the plaudits of the "rural population, " and the encouragement e .1 ' . i : i ; . 1 IT:... .J.,(Ud liof oi me scions 01 noouuy: xiistoij icioma . Alexander once witnessed a bull dog auaca a famed lion, and being willing to save the lion s life, ordered the dour to be taken off, "but the labor of men and all their strength could not loose the ireful and deeD-bitinar teeth." The dojf was then mutilated by its keeper, and not only its limbs, but his body was severed from its head ; "whereat the kinjr was wonderfully moved, and sorrowfully repented his rashness in destroying a beast of so noble a spirit" a very natural feeling, one would suppose, to every generous mind. Manv vears auo an English ship was at one of our docks, on board of which was a bull dog. The animal was so ferocious that he gained an ! extensive reputation. Chained at the gangway of the ship, lie spent all the livelong day in the hnpeless task of springing at every person who passed along, either on pleasure or business. The owner, the first mate of the vessel, would sit for hours and detail the wonderful deeds of this mighty dog. Crowds of idlers daily collected, and there stood the hero, or rather, there raved the insane creature at the multitude, each individual induLnnif the vain hope that he would presently break loose and pitch into somebody, and thus show Ins prowess. Among the idlers was an Indian who occasionally visited the city and made a few pence by shooting an arrow at pennies stuck in the end of a slick. Upon the very appearance of the Indi an, the bull dog was particularly violent, greatly to the amusement of the fellow, who took a malicious pleasure in irritating the animal. The mate finally interfered, and told the Indian to go awav, lest the dog might break loose and eat him up. I he Indian, not the least alarmed, in orosen English announced to the crowd that if the dog was brought down to the crowd and chained to a post, he would for five dollars, fight the dog with nothing but his hands and teeih. The money was raised, and the mate after expressing much reluctance at the idea of having the Indian killed, brought the dog down from the ship and fastened him to a post. The Indian put away his bow and arrow, his knife, laid his neck bare, and rolled up his shirt sleeves. A ring was formed and the battle commenced: The Indian approached the dog, crawling upon all fours, baiking and growling, as if he was one himself. The bull dog meanwhile jumped and fumed at the end of his chain, gnashed his teeth, foamed at the mouth, while his eyes beamed living fire with irritation. The Indian, however, kept up his pantomime, and gradually brought his face in fearful proximity lo the dog's teeth. The mate now interfered, lor he felt confident the Indian would get killed; but the crowd had become excited, and insisted upon "seeing the thing out." A mutual silence ensued between the combatants, the dog straining his chain in his anxiely to reach the Indian, until it was as straight and solid as a bar of iron. Suddenly the Indian seized the bull dog's under lip between his teeth, and in an instant whirled himslf with the dog over on his back. So unexpected was the attack, and so perfectly helpless was the dog. with his feet in the air, and his jaw imprisoned, that he recovered his astonishment only to give forth yells of pain; whereupon the Indian shook him a moment as a cat does a mouse, and then let go his hold. The dog, once so savage, putting his lail but ween his legs, retreated from his ene my, and screamed wiih tenor to get beyond the reach of the chain. Courtesy. The "sweet little courtesies of life," as some one has defily termed the amenities of association that contribute to social enjoyment, never pass unrewardea. A gratefulness of feel ing is always felt towards those who, by some kind act or agreeable little attention, have soothed a wound, or smoothed some of the rough passages of life; while equal satisfaction is enjoyed in the hearts which prefer rather to solace and please by gentleness and mild behavior, than gruffly to maintain a harsh and implacable gravity of temper, and rough stillness of demeanor tenacious of their assumed rights, while oblivious of the natural privileges and rights of others. Gentleness in woman is one of her most winning graces. Its parallel in man is courtesy, and elej vaies him in the esteeui of his fellows, as the I quality of sympathy endiars the former to man- ' kind. I .Reciprocal courtesy is, in fact, one of our inalienable rights, and that man who can so far forget the duties of kindness he owes lo society, should be taboo'd from human association and driven among the bears, where he properly belongs. He is a boor, unqualified for the society ofgen:Iemen, and the incarnation of outrage upon the prime essence of human nature. And courtesy does not depend upon the mere accidents of birth, fortune or education. Its ring is of the true metal, the virgin gold, that exists wherever truth and honesty dwell; penetrates through the roughest features, and glows fervidly in the most rugged soul. Education gives it polish and makes its influence still more irresistibly delightful, but yet does nol increase its intrinsic value; while

, learning, combined with the opposite of savage ..ici i .1 t rr- . 1 :...t,i

selfishness, makes the absence of the charitable graces appear absolutely hideous. Show us the uniformly and truly courteous gentleman, and we will show you a character possessed of tha loftiest affectional attributes belonging to human nature. Formal courtesy, however agreeable, and though infinitely superior to the selfishness of inveterate gruffness, is to the winning graces of the real quality, as true metal is to the base counterfeit. The former is an imposing form of hypocrisy and deceit; the latter the honest and fervent nature we received from God. Always Tske your Wife Along. On that famous "Burlington Excursion" as on all other excursions the advantage possessed by those "who had their wives along," was hourly demonstrated. But most completely on the Mississippi Steamboat, was it illustrated, that a wife is not only a help-mate, but a help-meat, and a help deep. The good packet Ban Campbell had only state rooms enough for the ladies; that is of course, for the ladies and their husbands. We know a couple of gentlemen who had early secured a stateroom, hoping during the day to get a refreshing snooze, having for the two preceding nights been driven from comfortable quarters by the married ladies. One of these gentlemen, on going to his room, found his baggage on the wrong side of the door, and in his engaged berth, one of the "lords of creation." Complaint to the Clerk only brought answer that of course the ladies must have the rooms. By this means, the men with "wives along," had refreshing naps, but temporary widowers and bachelors napped it on the luggage. At dinner however, it was supposed all the men would have an equal chance. The ladies filled the first table, and as there were more men than enough to fill a second, the chances for dinner became a matter of interest. The despair of those who had neither wives nor sweethearts along, can be imagined, when as one after another of the ladies finished dinner, she beckoned to this husband, or that beau, who quietly took the vacated seat. So when the ladies had done eating:,, the chairs were already filled for the sec ond table with those who "had their wives along." That demonstration of the comforts of matrimony sank deeper than the heart it went to the stomach. Cleveland Herald. At a meeting of unmarried printers! which convened not long since, the following toast was drunk in silence : Woman Heaven reward her she is always in favor of a well-couducted press.

When you buy or sell, let or hire, make a clear bargain, and never trust to " We shan't disagree about it." .An ancient and exceedingly simple method of book-keeping, is to keep all the books you lay your hands on.
