Goes wandering among the tree ,
.And on i two very long stockings
Are kicking the evening breexe ;
,'Ánd a lot 6f fency^dfy-goéds,
Who-e nature I cannot divine,
Are wildly and merrily flapping
About on the same old line.
And a very sljr y«ong lady
At the parlor window tews;
And i rathei' conclude, if-.-you try it,
You'd find she'd fit into u them hose."
She's oniy a h->lf length pictuie.

But the dry-goods which danco on the tigh-

Out yonder, just make np the rest.
So dream-'ike she seems—eo gentle—
ÍWJ think, her to good'fur earth;
And I léel that a holier spirit.

Ironi the mill, in order to reino vet lie
cellulose and. tibialis matters and tbe

.will answer this purpose. Next we
-have to add a ufficieucy of mHk of

slightly alkaline, as shown by its

injurious. *, 'Alter this addition, the

bolviug iii.hót water, adding to the
soiutio'h some white of eggs, |(say one
for every hundred pounds of susar,)
mixed with cold water, after which,
the temperature is raised to boiling,
aud the syrup to be allowed to remain
at that heat (or half ah hour ; then
skim and filter to remove the congula-
ted albumen, aiirtTb impurities it has
extracted from the sugar. , .7.;
By means-of bone black, 6uch as is
prepared for sugar refiners, tbe sugar
may lie decolored by adding an outre
to each gallon of the saccharine Solu-
tion, and boiling the whole together.
Then filter, and yon will obtain a near-
ly colorless syrnp. Evstp^-rate this, as
before directed, briskly, to half its bulk,
and then slowly until deuse enough to
crystalize, leaving the syrup as before
in tubs or paus, to granulate. Xlii<*
sugar will be of a light brown color,
and may now be clayed, or whitened,
by the usual method ; that is, by put-
ting it into cones, and pouring a sat-
uttfted solution eHoaf stfgar on ity-"8o
as to displace the7 molasses, which will
drop from the .apex of the cone when
inverted. It is now refined or loaf
sugar.
The methods here described are the
common and etieap ones, such as any
farmer can e i ploy. It may be advau
rageous, whenoperations of considera-
ble extent are contemplated, to ar-
range a regulai system of.shallow evap-
otating pans 'for die concentration of
the syruo, similar to those now u*ed in
Vermont for making maple sugar.
It is evideut that no ordinary meth-
ods can compete with those of a reg-
ular refinery, w^ere vacuum pautare
employed, and evaporation is conse-
quently carried at a low temperature
If the planter should raise sufficiently
large crops to "warrant the expense ol
such an apparatus on his place he
would not tail to manufacture larue
quauities of sugar, aud to operate with
perfect success but this can lie done
only iu the Southern, middle, or We
tern states, where extensive farming is
common. Those who wish ío have
tlieir brown sugar clarified, can. wnd
to some of the larger refineries, where
tbe operations may be completed, and
the sugar put up iu the usual form of
white loaves
A very large proportion ofouragri
cultural people will doubtless be satis-
fied with the production of good syr-
up from tins plant. They may obtain
it by following tbe methods described
¡ti the first part of this paper, or they
may omit the lime, aud make an agree-
able, but slightly acidulous sjrup,
which will be of a lighter color than
that which has be£u limited This
syrup is not apt to crystallize, owing
to the presence of acid matter. The
unripe cane cau be imployed'for mak-
ing molasses and alcohol, but will not
yield true caiic sugar unless it is well
matured.
Important Tkuths For Wivesj.—
Iu domestic happiness the wife's in-
fluence is much greater than her hus-
baud's; for the one—the first cause—
mutual love and confidence, being
grauted, the whole comfort of the
household depends upou trifles moré
i.ninediaiely under her jurisdiction. By
her mauagement of small sums her
husband's respectability aud credit are
created or destroyed. No fortune «ah
stand leakage of extravagance and mis-
management : and more is spent in
dimes than women would l-elieve. The
one great expence, whatever it may
be, is turned over aud carefully reflec-
ted on, ere incurred ; the income is
prejw red to meet it : but it is in pen-
nies impeiceptibly sliding away which
do the mischief; and this alone the

Vermont is setting tired of provi-
ding for runaway negroes. Hiat sort
ofblltlarthropy, the Gleen Mouhiaiu
folks have already foutid out, doesn't
pny. and, as mi^ht lie expected, it is
getting out of fashion in that latitude.
The followinu, from the Vermont Pat-
riot, shows that the runaway negro
population is more numerous thai)
profitable, and that it is thought desir-
able not only to stop .further increase;
but.to be rid of that already there:
^VV.hat is to l>e.done with this ciass
of our population, is the point to
which the attention of philanthropist*
and statesmen should be directed.-Tiie
enter.i.ig! wed^e to-all action, is tlig
inauguration of some system by which
a certain stop will be but to the iii{
gal introduction of colored bersons jut
the free States. In other words, a'fog
must be laid across the track .ofthe un.
derground railroad. This .would
vent, a large yearly increase of th«t
class of bopulation, which is hanging
like a millstone around the necK oí
our iudiiRjrrial progress. Then thin tire
present population by fostering the
colonization blan by all possible means
and the quest ion—what shall we do
with thg free negroes of the North 1—
is iu a fair way of receiving practical
solution.

Do toÑe Faces Indicate Piety ?•

What a sad mistake it is to suppose
that a man should be gloomy because
he is devout, as if misery" vfere accep-
table to God ot.it own aceouut, and
happiness agaiust.his dignity. . A mod-
ern writer, of much wisdom and pith
of writing, says: "There is. a secret
belief among 6omjB that God 13 dts
pleased with some men's happiness
aud sothey slink about creationaslia-m-
ed ajid afraid to enjoy any tJyug"
These are thy . people of whom Heed
says: -'They think 'they're pious
when they ore only billious!'.' A good
man is almost always a cheerful one
Ii is fit that bad men should scowl,
and look blue, and be melancholy : but
he who has God's smile of apprbation
on him should show its radiance 011

relief id the citizens of t&'wus - upou the
lauds of the Uiiited'Siates, under cer-
taiu tiircinnstauces; isconsirued by the
Secretary as applying to actual occu-
pants aud squatters, and not to uon-

share aud lot holders of the city of Su-

therefore, claim as '•occupants." This
deei-iou applies to many other paper
cities that have been laid out ou the

The city of Superior was originally
laid out by a company of these explo-
rers. They divided the property iuto
shares, some of which were sold in this
city. Two years ago the largest pro-
prietor was Gen. lliram Walbridge.
The prospects and valne ofthe site

.which was to connect St Croix river

tne Penitentiary —The editor of
the Telegraph lately visited the Peni-
tentiary, and gives a satisfactory ac-
count of its operations. He says :
" I visited the Peuitertiary- this
morning and by..the polite invitation
of the Superinteiidaut, Col. Murray,
passed through the various depart-
ments. The machinery uoW ran con-
sists of forty loortis and the various
picking, carding and spinning frames
requisite for them. I noticed Kuyken-
dall and Brutoiu. eaeh at a loom, and
apparently ready to do the State all
the service they could. The factory
now turns out something more than
t,wo thousand yards of cloth a day,
valued at about three hundred dollars,
aud taken by itself, is a paying con-
cern. It, however, wants a good deal
ipore machinery to make it work to
the best advantage. Tlure is power
and labor enough now thete to run
one hundred looms, and if they, were
in^pperation the mill would lie a source
of no little revenue to the State. Tb^
••ost of the additional looms would" be
about thirty-five-thotisand dolhrs; Col
Murray thinks that if he had them, the
profits of their work pay for
h-'m in oue year aii'i j^ave a surplus
of upwards of n¡ '-e,y thousand dollars.
