We copy the following from the Farmer's Monthly Visitor. There is a good moral con- j reyed in it, told with a rich vein of humor! that m capital. It is from the pen of S. D.J Littto, of the Merrimac (N.'II.) Agricultural ! ' v I gj ,v. i j The beneficence of the Creator is man- ' tS man- ' ifejted, m so deposing our tastes . Opting these to the varieties with which re surrounded, as to make life a scene of jnjoyment instead of a burden. It might hve been that necessary food would have ; been noisome as it is sometime to the diseased ; .tornach, had it not have pleased the Creator to have ordered it otherwise. Bread is the tuff of life, but butter is given to make hp down easier, and with a better relish J But it depends sometimes on who makes the ; buuer, whether it answers this purpose.

Like a ! true philosopher he concluded to endure what j lie could not avoid or cure, aud got a long tol- i erably well, only when he came to her butter, i for his mother was a real butter maker. Every time he saw or tasted Sally'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 blew into the pans she thinks every man must t a peck of dirt,' and in no place will it flip down easier thun in butter she lots the creum pot bo open, and when she churns forchurns lor-! pets the poke; leaves the cream at blood heat j uiattbe butter may come quick.

Perhaps there i no j more certain criterion by which to judge of a woman's general cnarnuter: for neatness, than : by tho quality of her butter. Find on the farmer's table a good solid, properly malted well worked slice of butter, and you need not ! fear to eat the cake or hash; but see a splash i of half worked butter salt in lumps, and a I sprinkling of hair and flies' legs, you may bo 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 j a sine yua nun in a wife that she makes prime butter, and the young ladies who aspire to be farmers' wives had much better be imperfect ; in fillagree and music than be deGcienl in that most important art of making butter, which smooths, not only the sharp corner of crust crackers but will smooth tha asperities of the band's temper.

I have heard you express a great desire to visit this region of the world, so celebrated ia the past, so beautiful in the present. And verv surely you would not be disappointed. High as were my expectations from the accounts I had read of the Lay of Naples the reality came up to them all. One of their poets has described it as "va pezzo di cido caduto in terra" fa bit of Heaven dropped ' down upon earth,) and when one looks upon it at its best moments and its various aspect .of loveliness, the hyperbole se-.ms not out of place.

To reach the edge of this stream, I crossed

mo vvua "1' ' ' i the lava of the preceding day, tho surface of which had already hardened, so that there was but little risk except to th soles of one's boots. I approached within eight or ten feet of one of tho craters, which was then vomiting forth flame. There, however, the heat was so excessive, that I could only remain a few seconds. So I quickly returned to gze at a safer distance on tlie unearthly scene. Never, never can I forget it! Tlie entire course of the lava was marked by a superineum bent curtain of dense vapor, lighted up by the lurid glare of the river of tire below. This sulphurous canopy rolled up tho mountain, settling upon it in heavy masses of dark clouds, completely concealing its summit. Immediately around us, every thing showed clearly as by day. But what alight! suih an one as we mav suppose shed over Mil'ou's Satan nnd his audience, when he was Stirl ing tho fallen angels to a second rebellion. Men looked like spectres in it. The pitchy darkness which brooded on tne upper moun-

Large masses of lava, often 15 or 20 feet in diameter, some still of a white heat, others already darkened in color by par - tial cooling, rolled slowly over, toppling down as they reached the perpendicular descent, not ( swiftly r suddenly, as heavy bodies over a waterfall, but quiet and majestically, ia part arrested by sinking somewhat in the thick, K-1 . quid mass.

the lower portion of the mountain, at ttie p iats where the lava reached the valley be low. Here, too, the scene was magnitieent beyond anything I had previously conceived. The lava had descended to the. plane by way of a deep ravine, up the precipitous banks of which I followed a guide by torchlight about 1 three miles. Some two or three.hundred feet below me slowly on crept the mass of lava, for it could scarcely now be called a stream, most of it having darkened to the color and appearance of coke, streaked, however, with narrow stripes of red hot matter. The scenery, as we ascended, became wilder aud wilder. After a time we entered a narrow, deep ' cut, and very steep pass, which shut out every thing from our view. Emerging from this, we came suddenly on one of the most sublime spectacles this earth can afford. J ut opposite, across a deep, dark gulf, the lava poured dowu in four distinct and still red hot streams, over a precipitous descent of eight , hundred or a thousand feet, the sulphurous clouds drifting from its surface, and rolling , - . , y !.,; tha et,l!n o 1 Imagine such a scene in tne stillneas ana , , n , , darkness of in rht!

L ton their right, stood the legions of the Romish rchy, ready with its secret roechinations ncentrate the full strength of foreign inhierarc to conce lluence, against tho advancing step of civil and religious liberty. Near them stand another branch of the Old Liners, who were anxious to spread the broad agis of American Republicanism over tho dark corruptions of Utah the legalized "live points" of the west. Besides these the motly forces of tnose who ' opposed temperence arrayed themselves, and resolved to do battle to the last for demon King Alcohol. What spirit, said the speaker, should ; animate these cohorts of the opponents? Behind this array of the opposition arose a huge column of smoke from the pit of darkness. like the "smoke from their torment ascending up forever," While the bones of their ruined victims, despite the tears and groans ot wi of widil.fivti wnr.. -hh fiendish malignity, thrust into this vast furnace and in "Hell's Alemdic," was distilled the poisionous liquid which flowed forth to blight and curse all who tasted its damning stream j These, fellow citizens, are the foes we have to meet.

Its limits shall not extend, its powers shall not increase, bat confined to the territory where it already wanes it shall be left to die. Against the moral corruption of tho Romish church, the speaker ' said he would war at another time and place. It might drive the Bible from the' schools, and banish the the word of (rod. Persecution had driven our forefathers from the olden ' world. Here they erected their altars aud built their homes. We their sous would never yield these our priceless inheritance. We had no other homes to sock, and here npon our free soil consecrated by the tears and blood of our patriotic sires we would make our stand, and while wo would not interfere with their right to worship God according to tlie dictates of their own conscience, nor ak them to abate one particle of their love for their own religion, we would trust for success upon the truth and power of Go 1.

Hoiloway, Kepresentative elect to Congress from this District, at the Republican Convention: Connersville Times. Mr. Holloway bein called for, addressed ' the meeting in his own forcible and impresisive manner.

He spoke , of slavery, and said that the time had fu ly , com-' when .tlie fifgressive movements of the houth must pechecKt-a, ana cneoKea iorever. The indignation of the North had been justly aroused, and while there was no disposition to interfere wilh slavery where it now existed there was a strong determination that it should not go where it did not exist. He called attention to the Temperance law, and the happy results that were visible to the most careless observer in every portion of the State. The people were mow than pleased : with the law. and would sustain it at all haz- ; lo strike down the law. and re-open i the bltter fountain of intemperance afresh, would create a storm about the ears of the Supreme Court, such as it had never dreamed of, and which would not subside, but with its restora'i in and the redemption of our S.ate from that terrible curse. On this topic he made some happy remarks, and was heartily responded to by the people. He thought tho banners of old liiuism might appropriately bear the mottoes, "Slavery and Kansas, Utah and Polygamy, bad whiky and Political Jesuitism;" while ours bore aloft the proud inscription: "Freedom, Purity, and Temperance." He spoke of "Sam" in the most fluttering ." "a, . 'VI till.-. ' terms ana thought it he was aeau, lie haa ieit a numerous progeny rjetiinri mm. lie spote '' of political Romanism as a dangerous element, and antagonistic to the genius and spirit of -Republicanism. A sense of the danger had strk the great heart oi this nation, ana nence the mysterious appearance of "Sfcm" and the majesty with which he had moved among the people. lie had no desire to interfere with the religion of the Catholic worship he stood pledged to protect and defended them in their ; rights, but there was a political influence, a sectional p wer connected with that Church, ; and had been from time immemorial, which must be met and stoutly resisted by every brave American. His remarks on this topic were forcible and just, and were highly appreciated and strongly responded to by the immense multitude. We close our report of this very excellent and well-timed speech by frankly confessing our inability to do ju-aice to it. We were so much exhausted by thw labors which preceded, to take extensive notes at the time. He closed his speech by sayii.g that he had often thought of the expression of Jack Downing, "there is a -Teat deal of human nature in man kind:" but hoped to carry out the spirit of the j resolutions so unanimously adopted this day or never 6how hi face again in Indiana. 1 Swkariso. The absurdity and utter folly of swearing is admirably set forth in the following anecdote of Beelzebub and his imps.

.Mr. Smith Loans;? on the Sofa. AND MRS. SMITH LECTTKKS HIM FOR IT. "I declare, Mr. Smith! this ia too bad.

' Here you are stretched out on the sofa, mussing it up, and my nice carpet is all spoiled by the tramp of your coarse boots. I shall be ashamed to bring any one into the parlor again and I have taken o much pains to ktep everything nice! I do think. Mr. Smith, you are the mol thoughtless, careless man I ever did see you don't appear to care howmuch trouble you give me. If I had no more care than you have we would soon have a nice looking house it would not be long till our new house and furniture would be just as bad as the old," said John Smith's wife to him, as she saw him in the parlor taking a nap on the sofa. Mr. Smith rose up slowly, and answered. , X niru AUU itrriV, AlUV. SUU (HQ weuiI was tired and sleepy, Mary, and the weathjer so hot, and this room so quiet and cool, and i the sofa looked so inviting, that I could not resist the temptation to snooze a little. I I thought when we were building a new house, j and furnishing it thus, that we were doing it , because the old house and furniture were not ' so comfortable as desirable, and that I and my 'own dear Mary, would indulge ourselves in a little quiat leisure in these nice rooms, and if ; we choose, in lounging on the sofas and rocking in these cushioned arm chairs, away from ! the noise of the family, and the smell of the I cooking stove. "I did not dream of displeasing you, Mary," ; and I thought it would give you pleasure to see me enjoying a nap on the sofa, this warm ; afternoon. I notice when Merchant Swell, or Col. Bigman, and their families are here, i vou appear delighted to have sofas and cush- ' loned arm chairs for them to sit in or lounge upon. I thought the house and the sofas were j to use tliat we were seeking our own pleasure ' whe-n we paid a largo sum of money for them; but I suppose I was mistaken, and that tho house and furniture are for strangers, and that we are to sit in the old kitchen, and if I want to take a nap, or rest a little when fatigued, I am to lie down on a slab in tho wood house; and if you want to rest, can go to the children's trundle bed, in tho little close bed room where the flies can have a chance at you." The irony of Mr. Smith's reply only pro voked his wife, and seeing himself threatened with a repetition of Mrs. Smith's speech, with . whh - , leasant additions and variations, and knowthat he would get tired of gaining victo ries over her in argument, before 6he would think of getting tired of defeat, he took himself out, and left Mrs. Smith to fix up and dust out, and lock him out of his own hou.-io, and look a seat on an old chair in the kitchen, w)iich Mrs. Smith said was good enough to use every day in the kitchen where no one sees it. Poor mistaken Mrs. Smith, thought I. Aoid yet most women are like her. They want a tine house, and when they get it they wantan out house built to live in, and they confine their families to a few small rooms, poorly furnished, while the main rooms7VlPfHrnished, is never seen by the family only when visitors come! Both house and furniture are too grand for use. . The carpet is too fine for their hasbanda for hirn to walk on the mirrors are too tine look into the furnture is all too tine for him to see or use. Just so it goes ! we dress, we women, I mean, and I am sorry ! that many men are as foolish as we are, to ; please others, or rather to excite their remarks i we build houses, and furnish them for those outside of the family, and live as poorly when we are rich as we did when we were poor; as poorly in the new house as iu the old. It is a fatal day to enjoyment when a family cets a house and furniture too fine for uc; and yet most women have an ambition to have it so. Better would it bo if they were contented with such a house and such furniture as is suited to every day us; the house large enough to accommodate oue's friends, : and the furniture such as all use when at home. Rose Kahpom. : Marysville Tribune. j Peccuar Enactments. The Legislature ; of Connecticut, which adjourned on the 3oth i ult., passed ajaw by which the Courts of tho j State are forbidden to administer the oaths ! necessary to naturalization to any foreigner. j who must consequently seek the United States Uourts it tney acsire to oecome citizens, j This virtually nullifies the naturalization laws ' of the Union, in their application to the for- ! eigners who reside in portions of the State re mote from large towns, to which the sittings of the United States Courts are irenerallv conj nned, and will probably have the effect which ; wa, doubtless designed for it, to seriously retard natura zation. A proposition to amend the State Constitution, in a way which will deprive all naturalized foreigners who are not familiar with our language, of their votes, passed both Houses of the Legislature by large majorities, and will, without doubt, be approved and sanctioned , by the people. It provides that no person shall bo entitled to vote unless he can read distinctly and with facility any clause or section j f the Constitution or laws of the State or of ! the United States. The effect above stated will, it is manifest, surely follow. Tns Bi.oon of Age. A good woman never grows old.
