From the .Vovn t Ca rmel Sen tinel. HOW TO PRESERVE CIDER. Being aware that we cannot make cider every day or even every month in the year; and if we could, il would be attended with too much trouble and expense to justify it; therefore we propose a more cheap and labor saving plan: The preservative, we propose, is a cheap and simple one, and can be obtained by any one who wishes to try it. Yc have drank cider upwards of one year old, which was as sweet and much more pleasant to the taste than if it had not been made more than three day?: it was free from that bad taste which t common to new cider, occasioned by some of the apples being rotten, vVc. The preservative is as follows: take one half a pint of mustard seed, pulver ize the same, and put it in a barrel of cider just made; be careful to put your cider in a cool place or in an airy cellar. so that it is not exposed to the rays of the sun. In this way, you may have sweet cider all the year. This is sitn rle indeed, but do not cast it off on ac count of its simplicity, but give it a fair trial,and you will realize us benefit. Another and a sure remedy to keep cider sweet. Put the following ingredients into thirty- gallons of cider, made from sound apples: one gill fine salt, half a pound of chalk pulverized, and one or a half gill of sweet oil. Let il stand, say twenty-four or thirty hours, when it will have worked and gone through with fermentation sufficiently. Then rack itolf through a blanket with fine sand or powdered charcoal, when it will be fit to bottle or put into a tight barrel, rinsed with pure water. As long as it is excluded from air, it will keep for age?, but if you should neglect to stop it after having drawn eff some, it will become flat and insipid, and no ingredient whatever will again resuscitate or give it that life it before had. Thus attended to, you will have the very best ci ciaer, wnicn win nave a nne sparkling flavor. For this receipt, the writer of these few lines gave five dollars, which you may now have gratuitous, for the general good. riCKI.VC GEESE ALIVE. Pennant, an English writer, says that geese are plucked five limes in the year in Lincolnshire, once for the quills, and four times for the feathers that he saw the goslings six weeks old deprived of their feathers and tails. Manv of them perished under the operation. Picking geese alive is however a cruel practice; but doubtless, there is one period of the year in which ihe feathers come otF with less pain than at others. Moubrav holds the follow in aniTH0.e": "A writer in the Monthly" .Magazine. December 1823, remarks humanely on the cruelty of plucking the living goose, proposing a remedy, which I should rejoice exceedingly to find practicable and effective. He remarks on the additional torture experienced by the poor fowl, from the too frequent unskillfulness and want of dexterity of the operator generally a woman. The skin aud flesh are sometimes so torn as to occasion the death of the victim: and even when the fowls are plucked in the most careful manner, they loose their llesh and appetite; their eyes become dull, ana uiey languish in a most pitiable stale, during a longer or a shorter period. Mortality also has been peri odically very extensive in the flocks of geese, from sudden and imprudent exposure of them to the cold, after being stripped, and more especially during se vcre seasons and sudden atmospheric vicissitudes. There are many instances, in bleak and cold situation, of hundreds being lost in a single night, from neglect of the due precaution of comfortable shelter for as long a time as it may appear to be required. The remdy proposed, on (he above authority, is as follows: Feathers are but ofa) ear's growth, and in the moulting season thev f-pnntaneously fall oil, and are supplied by a fresh ilecce. W hen, however, the geese are in full feather, let the plum ige be removed, close to the skin, by sharp Fcissors. The produce will he much reduced in quantity, while the quality would be greatly improved, and an in'lemmficatioa be experienced, in tlx injured health of the fowl, and the henfit obtained lo the succeeding crop. Labor also would be saved in dressing, f-ince the quilly portion of the fea'her. when forcibly detached fiom the skin, is generally in such a state, a, after all, t.. require the employment of scissors. After this operation shall hae been performed, the down from the breast may be removed by the same means. Ths time has arrived, I tiust, for successful operations in ihe came of compaion towards tortured and helpless animals: and I presume to make a ferious call on the clergy and leading yistocracy of the districts implicated, or the exercise of their influence granJng the reform to be. practicable."

DESTRVCTION OF WEE OS. The spirits of turpentine I have found

a subtle poison to all plants experimented upon, and among others, I have applied it to milkweed, burdock and Canada thistle; a teaspoonful dropped on the stem will run down and destroy it to the ground, and if the root is not on the first trial destroyed, a repetition will he sufficient. 1 his remedy may be of peculiar ue where weeds start up from under stone walls or other inaccessible places. Johnswort is regarded by many farmers as more noxious than the Canada thistle. It frequently usurps whole field? to the exclusion of all the valuable grasses. On some spots of land covered with this weed I spread gypsum, at Ihe rate of three bushels to the. acre, and had the satisfaction lo find that the spots were soon covered with a thick mat of white clover and other grasses, while the Johnswort was part running out. Il is quite possible that a less quantity of gypsum per acre might answer a similar purpose. Ten nesscc F irmer. A CiOOO EXAMPLE. A young man in one of our Southern States has, for several years been attached to a young lady of merit. Their friends knew they loved each other and thought seriously of marriage. One evening, in company with several friends, he addressed her in the following manner: 'Jane, the world have expected long lhat we should be married: let us stop their talk at once, by entering into the expected union."' She looked seriously- and steadfastly at him for a moment and replied: '"Charles, am wilting to acknowledge to all our friends, lhat I love you; ihe only objection I have to marrying you is your t up. 'Till I can have belter evidence that you will relinquish your cups, and be a temperate man, I can never consent to marry you. I could not make you happy, and you would make me wretched." A deep silence ensued until broken by ' a friend. Charles, instead of relinquishing his cups, took a journey to divert his mind. How very strong are men's attachments (o ardent spirits! If all females would be thus decided, some reformation would be effected. The expectation of a female to reform an intemperate nan by marrying him, is vain. MARRIAGE. With all its ills and evil, man knows no happiness until he marries; let him possess a woman of sense and virtue. and of which he himself is worthy, and he will leel a solid and permanent joy, of which he never was before sensible. For, as somebody sas, the happiness of marriage, like the interest of money, arises from a regular and established fund while unmarried libertines live upon the principal, and become bankrupts in character and respectability. To be sure (and as the same author tells us) uninterrupted happiness no man can or ought to expect. Life is so insecure; fiuits do not spring spontaneously from the earth, as they did in the Garden of Fden; nor does "manna drop from the clouds, as did in the Wilderness. P.ut, as a scheme of solid comfort, matrimony affords to well regulated minds a double share of prosperity and a solace and support, in sorrow and adversity. THE CAT LET OUT OF THE RAG. A YANKEE TRICK. An Illinois paper says: "An itinerant Yankee passed through this village a day or I wo since, and spent a night with u. He put up handbills as soon as he arrived, announcing theatrical entertainment a farce in one act, "The Cat let out of the Bag."' &r. in the usual manner of such thing. When the time arrived, ihe house (Snow's Ball room) was crowded hut no body appeared on the stage for some lime. At hst a shrill whistle was heard then a Jews harp (hen a villainous three stringed lid. He and finally, a plain dresed, awkward looking chap, entered with a very delicate tq, having a bag thrown over his shoulder. The audience all roe a tip toe with expectation. He sealed himself, with the hag between his leg began to untie il hel I the top with his hand; the aiHimicc gathered nearer and nearer Now! he rried rlannini' his hattTUScat! an I lo! out sprang a furious Tom Cat. pJl mell among the h its and bon nets. Such a scene of confusion! some aimed for the windows some for the doors some screamed some cursed and swore and more laughed. At length they were calmed hut the curtain va dropped? n epilogue was spoken: -Ladies and gentlemen," s.,jd H,e manager, "the farce is over; we lhank you." He was interrupted by huzzas and hisses. The whole room was in an uproar many were angry but more were de-

lighted at the fellow's impudence and some even went so far as lo call for it again. The swearers were for tearing him to pieces, but the laughers were more numerous, and carried the day.' THE EDITOR. An editor is like a goose in some particulars he generally writes standing on one leg, flourishes his qill without observing how he may scatter his ink, and would be willing to save Rome at any lime, if he could, by mere gabbling. Talk of grammar to an editor, forsooth! Does not Mr. Hypercrilic

know that the 'more-copy devil' sometimes run awav with the nominative case before the editor gets to the verb, and that, unless he goes out collecting lie never knows the possessive from the objective case, and often, when he calls on his patrons, is under mistake in relation to these and finds, when he looks for the possessive, he gets nothing but the objective? How often too when he feels a little in the indicative, does Ihe editor sit down at his table, with his legs in the subjunctive, feeling the imperative spirit of genius, and looking mighty potential, to find after all upon laboring his brain, that his ideas are in the infinitive. We editors write copy we don't w rite grammar, Somebody said, a long time ago, that 'anything was good English that a man conld understand, and this, though it 'vont at all times excuse vulgarity,' is a convenient rule for an editor. He must if possible make himself understood, and this we know he often succeeds in doing, even where he don't understand himself.' There are a thousand anecdotes told of Willard of the City Hotel, but we c;in add another that has never appeared in type: A Hoosier from Indiana, walked into the hotel one day, and stepping up to the bar, called for a glass of brandy and water. Willard, with his customary sauvity, immediately handed him the decanter and a tumbler. He filled the tumbler nearly full of 'strong water,' with but a small sprinkle of the Manhattan, and emptied the whole at a draught. Willard looked aghast. The Hoosier forked up his shilling, and was astonished when Willard returned him a sixpence and three cents change. 'Hollo, stranger! You don't go to pretend to say, they only charge three cents a glass for liquor, at the City Ho tel?' 'No,' answered Willard, 'we retail if at a shilling a glass, but when we sell it at wholesale we make a discount!' The Hoosier wilted like a baked ap ple anu evaporated in a cold weat. .V. F. Times. A married couple in Maine sued mu ually, a short time since for divorce. One of the ground on which the husband prajed for a separation was, that his wile smoked that she smoked day and night; and further, that she smoked before marriage, but concealed the habit from him until after their union. The nife, on her side, put in a cross plea, that the husband ehezced tobacco. and not only chewed tobacco, but ale onions. Causes of dissatisfaction so strong, added to divers others mutually alledged and proven, were deemed suf (icient by the court, and the disgusted couple were allowed to separate and enjoy apart their delectable propensities. "Do you want to buy a real prime lot of butter?" said a yankee notion dealer, who had picked up a load at 50 different places, to a Boston merchant. "What kind of butter is it?"' asked the buyer. "The clear quill; all made by my wife, from a dairy of forty cows; onlytwo churning?." "But what makes it so many different colors?"' said the merchant. "Darnation? hear that now. I guess you would'nt ax that question if you'd ee my rows, for they're a darn'd sight speckleder than the butter is." The Banger Advertiser tells a good story of a Yankee who was refused a dinner at one of the. "down east" taverns until he shewed jcnlcr. Boniface then did hi best, and at the sound of the bell in walked the yankee, and taking a general survey of the table. V,sin"d to his host and said, "Mister, vou ve seed mv money and I've seed vour dinner good bye!" Conundrum. Why are fashionable young ladies like faith? Do you give it up? Because they are the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. Among the resolutions adopted at a recent anti-abolition meeting in Norfolk, we notice the following: Resolved, "That we encourage the increase of our white population."
