set it back on the fire, and boil down as rapidly as possible. As the 

 quantity reduces by boiling keep adding fresh juice from the first 

 clarification, so as not to let the syrup get too low in the pot, or it 

 will get burned. If any scum rises, remove it with your skimmer, 

 and by following these directions, you can not fail to make good 

 syrup. 



The preceding remarks suppose that you have only one pot to 

 operate with ; but it is very much better to have two, as it will save 

 twenty minutes' time, and fuel, with each kettle of syrup you make ; 

 because, as I have shown, you have to wait twenty minutes after 

 taking the pot from the fire, and allow the scum to rise and settle ; 

 so, if you have not another pot full of fresh juice to put on, it is 

 so much time and fire wasted. With two pots in use, you replace 

 the first on the fire as soon as you take the other off, and proceed to 

 boil down. 



SYRUP OP EXTRA QUALITY. 



Should you wish to make a very extra syrup for table use, get a 

 flannel bag, of almost any shape, sufficient to hold two or three gal- 

 lons, and filter the juice through it after you have skimmed it, thea 

 boil down as before.

 leo-e Hill, Sept. 11th, 1857, was the noblest specimen of eloquence 

 and irresistable argumentation to which we ever listened. It was 

 the expressed feeling of ourselves as well as of many others who 

 heard it, " This lecture should be repeated throughout the whole 

 country. Would that every American could hear it !" The subject 

 announced was vastly comprehensive, yet such was the nervous 

 brevity of style, the condensation of thought, that during the hour 

 and a half in which he held his audience in unwearied attention, the 

 lecturer conducted us to every land, and from the Patriarchial Ages 

 down to the end of time. It was a panorama, yet not a scene exhib- 

 ited, not a word spoken which diverted from the unity of plan, the 

 great drift of the argument and the seemingly inevitable conclusion,
