UP OLD HtmrUREV ON THE GAY 0? YOUTH. -It is said that "men are but children fully grownand if I were to be asked in what chilJish amusements they indulge more* than another, I would say in the game of bubble blowing. We begin to bMw our bubbles early in childhood, and we keep i; up with li,tk> intermission to old ago. With what delight does the young urchk gas; on the glittering globe of soap nnO water that he has fairly launched into the air while standing on a four foot wall ! There it goes ! mounting up high wi n the bre< zi that Wows, and again descending low. Out moment as high as the house, and at anoth ? r almost touching the ground. {)nward onward-1 it holds its course, escaping ever} n anger, tiH at last it hursts as it strike^ ngamst the edge of the tombstone in an ad joining church-yard. The btibbi* s of our after years, too, heu a strong family likeness 10 those of our child hood, oome burst as suori as blown. S.nn vanish suddenly in the air ; and if any < them mount over the church-yarJ wall thcfnre sure to disappear amid the tombs "Wishng" is a losing game to all wh play at it; and yvl who is there that alfc geiher refrains ? I never oeard but of on man, who could say. % I h ive learned i whatsoever siato ] arn therewith* to be cor tent," Pint. tv. 11. Let u& Hike n stripling from among til many win>are, at lies moment, banquettin on the airy food of future grea'ness, wh are, in o'b'T word^, engaged in bubble b!ov ing. and enter for a moment into his goMe dreams. It is true he may be poor; hi i be Rothschilds were not always rich, thou^ at Ian they amassed millions: He has heat of Wilmington, a poor friendless lad, qui ting London with his bundle in his hair and turning baei: again to wealth and ri nown, beckoned by the belts ringing o; mus.cuily, as he fancied, the words, "Turn again, Whittington, Til rice lord mayor of London." Why, it is very possible that some da he mnv be as great a man as Whiulng'oi who had only a cat with which to make h fortune. Not that he has at present an very bright prospects before him in real life but that only renders the more bright t!i vision of bis fancy. Weil, tlien, it is 11 settled thing \v*th hit that he w ill be a merchan\ and sad the sec - I _ . in a ship of his own, carrying out ocaus i barter with Africans for ivory and os:rie feathers ; and bales of c!o:h to exchange f< gold. There is no preventing h-s futui prosperity; he will soon become rich in h own imnginaiion^and ride in a co'ich ar six! And now the bubble is at its height /What a pity that he cannot keep it in tl air/ Alas, down it must come, breakir ngainst the very ground. The poor !t works at a trade, marries early, has a !ur$ family ; his health fails him, his friends lb sake him; want springs upon him like t aimed man, he becomes Sick and infirr nod ho receives pay ftoin tlv parish. Or suppose his youthful dream to bo < another kind; his bubble, though equal frail with that f have already blown forhin may take a different direction. He is stud ous and fond of books, and it may bo thi he is poetical. Say that Chevey Chast or the ballad of the Children in the Wooi first lures him to the pathways of poesy. H reads, grows abstractive and irrtnginativ and "mutters h's wayward fancies'* as I Goldsmith wins him, Cowper ar Montgomery delight him, Gray fires liir ami Byron works him up almost to frena and it is welt if not to moral evil. Like ship with no ballast and much sail he pu sues his course. He yearns for an earth immortality. There h?ve been Sliakspetfrc and Miltons, and Ossians, and Homers/Why may there not be again? What ch iightful dung to publish a volume of ui rivalled poetry; to be lauded by reviewer to be sought bv booksellers, to be court? by the great, and be highly estimated by th wor'd! Thus he goes on wasting his life in ur profitable dreams; but s*>e! the bubb1 burst at last. He hasfeasred his mind, an famished his body ; unable to conform I the common-place usages of life, or to pei form its duties, he is crushed by troubli With an intellect superior to those aroun him, he is the proverb of the wise, and butt of the fooksh, and perhaps ends 1) days in a lunatic asylum. The may fc many, whose sober habits and refldctior '. . , _ , , , may tninK mispiciuro uvcimown , > ??, some reason to think the contrary. Or, p*?rhnps, he has read books of trave and wondrous advantages by sea and lain and is resolved to travel; why should nc he, as well as others, do something wondei fu| ??ascend Mont Blanc, go down th crater of Vesuvius, and measure the pyri mids ! How delightful, af er wandering i strango lands, like Mungo Park, encour tering lions in the desert, like Campbell, an delving Tnto the mummy pits of EsypU lik Belzoni, to return home with real India tomahawks, bows and arrows, scnlpin knives; with snakes from Africa, fishin tackle from the South Seas, birds of p'ira dise and humming birds from the east, am monkeys and macaws from the west! This is a golden dream in which his fan cy indulges in his waking hours. His na five land is too contracted for hrs arden spirit; he longs for perils and toil,- h< " * J % f it thirsts For strange aevemures, ana aner an is pot spprenticG to a tailorfor a weaver,pas sing his days on a shop board of six fee: bj three, or growing old in flinging the shuttle and plying the loom in the back garret o some^iserable dwelling. What a glittering bubble has here burst! What a gay drean has passed Qway ! and yet who shall ven turo to affirm that a thousand such occue. rences as these have not taken place in com. mon life ? But his dream may have been vet of n different Mnd. The 6trippling may have heard die stormy music of the rattling drum, and gnzed uponjthe gay attire of the recruit. ir?g Serjeant. He may hove 41 heard of c?msakMfc.rei* '-1 -umwjnjuuaajwj.ij.mi battles, awl born fired with the love of vie. lory and tame. q Strange it is, ihat when the would-be j i warrior sees b< Ion; him the prancing -war- v ! horse, and the banner* d host, that he cannot * i see the aijotrcs of the dying, and the man- ( j jr|cd heaps of the slain 1 Strange, that when ne heals, in imagination, the n *igh of the ' i charger, therlangoui of the brnzen-throa'ed ' trumpet, and the ro'<r of caunon, that he | ! cannot hear the agonizing groans of the ( j wounchd soldiers, r.or the heart-rending , '! wails t?. the widow and the fatherless ! Yet j j so t is ! s--i harness, and sin, and carnage, i ' j are crowned with glory. . ; But the suippiing will blow his bubble. * | fie ponders the page that sets forth the vie. ; : lories of Crivsv and of Aginco rt, of B'en' ^ heim and of Waterloo. He gazes on the * j marble monuments of renowned heroes, and 1 becomes a soldier ! nay, more he is f<mcd j for courag", rls^s in rank, and his fondest r j wishes are reahzeJ. M - "' ?- J" looa ttQin ho. 1 I L>ut arc MJCSC g.? V Uiruuis cause they have h;eu partly fulfill'd ? T'te strippling lias become a hero, with a scar & on h's forehead, and a pair of epaulets on his '' shoulders. Hut there is soniethiug yet that ? remains to be told : besides these things, he | has a {filing wound that the surgeons have * I pronounced ineurahle, and a hall in his body n | ihst annoys him, vet cannot bo dislodged ! j And when alone in the midnight hour he heaves a sigh, somewhat in doubt whether l? he should .not Itavo led a more usefui iile in 2 { pursuing peace, than in following war ; in ! ix'ing <? pr server, rather than a destioyee I of his species. n ! Have I said enough ? Of J Humphrey -1' ; has been u blower of bubbles. a dreamer of dreams through the be ter part of his days ; ^ let him then run his length 0:1 the gay l", dreams of youth. ' j Hut he may be musical ; and his fanciful s" j reveries on humanity may be musical too. Jl : 'Che .halfpenny whistle, the penny trumpet, 1 and liu* si penny .drum of ciiildhoood, have j given way to the fife, the flure, t.he flageolet, I and the fiddle, f Je studies the gamut, plays I solos when alon", duets when with a friend, ;y : and talks about Wragge, and Nicholson, [b ; atid Cranmer. O.i he goes, afflicting the ,s neighbourhood with the dissonance of his -v ; ur; mastered instruments, till ho really be' j comes a decent performer. He now plays e ; u Nicholson flute, and a Cremona violin, be! sides which he has made some progress on 11 | the violoncello, and can blown clear and so. norons blast or two on the keyed bugle. 0 But is he satisfied ? No, there is no point | of satisfaction in music mere than in other 3r! ihmgs. Could he pour forth the full diapas rc ! on of'he pealing organ ; were the harmon 18 j ious crash of tiie whole orchestra under his 1(^! control he would not rest satisfied ; he must | blow his bubble ; ho would compose like ? : tl-nwLol nlfivr iibrt PiirlfiV nnd nutriv:il the ie wond?ous performance of Paganini. This is the beginning, or rather the nonnday of h s dreamy de.'ight. But what is its 'e end? He joins some musical society, is r* led into company, neglects his business, ln spends more than he sinks into povern' ty.unJ in his old age is found playing a fidJIe to the drunkards in a pot house for what pence he can obtain, or spending his breath ty on a crack? d clarionet, a medican! perform nier in the public streets, i* Such are the gay dreams of youth, and i most of us have indulged in onp or other of them. 1 know ono who has indulged in 4' them all ! aye, more tlym all \ and what e was the end of his sunny visions? What e?! has become of the gleams of glory that daz? te zled his youthful fancy in by.gone days ? ?d L-1 the tear that has fallen on the paper on n. which I note down theso observations be v. Ids reply. The bubbles of his childliood a are burst ; the fond dreutr.s of his youth and r* his manhood are passed away ; he has seen ly the huilowncss of them all, and has been ?. mede willing to exchange the empty dreams ? of time for the realities of eternity. a If he knows any tirng of his own heart, there is nothing in the honours, the riches, - ?a ,u? ,k:? it,n? rn I a? UUU Ill'J Wiauuili Hi tlll-1 nunu| t.au. iui unv >d moment he woul<J'put ia comparison with ie the well -rounded hope of everlasting life, f ut together all the renown that mankind has to bestow ; pile up the crowns and seep le trcs of the earth ; heap high its gold, its cosid dy gems and gJiuering diadems, and th^y to * ill be as Just in thy balance if weighed ar gains* the t>ope of eternal life through Chrisi ?.

Visitor, (London.) id ,e From the Maine Farmer. is SALTING cream. >e Mr. Holmes :?The- inquiry was made is some8 months ago or more, through the e columns of the Farmer by some of its correspondents?What causes the cream from Is the milk of some cows to" come" (as the j, term is used for the process of making but. )t ter) more readily than that of others ? Tout r. this is the fact I am not exactly agreed?it \e may be so, or it may not be. lam inclined i. to the opinion it was more owing to the state in of the cream itself. However this may be, i- 1 am not about to discuss that question. d A pood d;?irv woman?a ladu if vou ~ ? o - - J ^ ? J e please?at my elbow informs of the follown ing simple process in preparing cream for g churning ; and which, she assures will never g fail to lesson the labor of churoing, if the i? cream be good. The process is diis. Some d lw<3 or three days before churning put in tine salt at the rate of about half an oz. to a . gallon of cream, observing at the came rime to stir it well, and occasionally afterwards t till it is put into the churn for churning. In 3 the mean time it should be moderately hou, ted to about the degree of blood warmth. j My wife has tried preparing in some four ; j or five instances ai.d it proves well. Before 5 using salt we wero much troubled in fetchf ing our butter, sometimes churning and 1 j churning and churning fowrer five hours ! l until our strength and patience wore almost . exhausted, and even th?m succeeding but . miserably in u bringing ii"?soft slushy and . ilNflavorcd. But smcet wo have had no kind of trouble, uniformly 41 coming" in 15 ; or 20 minutes?good and hard.
