Who Stole the Bixd's‘1'vest '2
IIY MRS. L. M. CHILD.
To whit l to whit l to whee I
Will you listen to me ?
Who stole four eggs I laid
And the nice nest Imadc ?
Not I, said the cow, moo-oo l
Such a thing l’d never do,
I gave you ll wisp of’ hay,
And did not take your nest away,
Not I, said the cow, moo-oo l
Such a thing I’d never do. ‘
Bob-a-link l bob-a-linkll
Now what do you think 7
Who stole it nest away
From the plum tree, to day?
Not I, said the dog, bow wow l
I wouldn’t he mean, I vow,
I gave the hairs the nest to make,
But the nest I didn’t take.
Not I, said the sheep, oh, no,
I wouldn’t treat a bird so ;
I gave the wool the nest to line,
But the nest was none of mine,
Bah, huh, said the sheep, oh, no,
Iwouldn’t treat a poor bird so.
,Cluck, cluck. said the hen,
Don't ask me again,-
Why, I havn’t a chick,
Would do such a trick,
We all gave her a feather,
And she wove them together ;
I’d scorn to intrude
On her and her brood.
Chirr-a-wliirr ! chirr-a-whirr l
We’ll make a great stir !
Let us find out his name,
And all cry for shame !
I would not rob a bird,
Said little Mary Green ;
I think I never heard
Of anything so mean.
’Tis very cruel, too,
Said little Alice Yale ;
I wonder if he knew
How sad the bird would feel‘?
A little boy hung down his head,
And went and hid behind the bed,
For he stole that pretty nest,
From poor little yellow breast ;
And he felt so full of shame,
And didu’t like to tell his name
I+‘ARMEItS & MECHANICS.
A Goon YEAsT.—-One of the best arti-
.cles of its kind that has ever fallen under
our observation was recently handed us for
examination, by a lady whose reputation
as a domestic economist is deservedly high
wherever she is known. The recipe for
its ni:iiiufaeture—kindly furnished us by
the some fair liand——is as follows:
“ Take half a dozen common sized po-
tatoes, boil, peel and strain them through
a common sieve—-first adding half a pint
of warm water, then sufficient wheat
flour, suifted, to make the whole into 3.
thin batter ; with this mix two table spoon-
fuls of ordinary bakers’ yeast. If pre-
pared at night it will be fit for use in the
morning.” It is said that any quantity
may be used for cakes, bread, &c., as it
does not comniuuicate the usual bitter
taste, which attends the excessive use of
other articles of yeast.
M.4.<.
WEBSTER ox Boimxc PoTAToEs.——There
are many recipes extant for cooking po-
tzitoes, but none of so high authority as
the following, which is found among,
the published letters of Daniel \Vebstei' :
To Fletcher \Vebster.——Green Harbor,
May, l849.—Dem'FIe!c}2er.—I send you
a quarter of lamb to roast: and if not
too rainy, will come to dine with you.
Polatoe.s'.—-Let these potatoes be peel-
ed early, and thrown into a basin of cold
water till time to cook them. Let them
be boiled in a good deal of water. When
done, pour off all the water, shake up
the potatoes a little, hang on the pot
again, and let the potatoes dry two or
three minutes and then bring them to ta-
ble.-—I remember that when we heard
I-Iannah Curtis shaking her pot, we knew
that dinner was coming.

One of the old farmers in the Legisla-
ture, wlio régrets that he was not present
at the meeting on Thursday the 14th,
says that in 1854 his neighbor planted is
single large Maine potato, cutting it into
eight parts. The produce was about
three peeks, which our informant bought
and planted in 1855. Their produce was
thirteen or fourteen bushels. Only twen-
ty or thirty potatoes were diseased. In
1855 be planted about three-fourths of an
acre with the largest seed, and on the
other three fourths of an acre in the same
lot, he planted the common white Maine
potato he has used for twenty year_s.——
-The seed was ‘much smaller than in the
other portion but good of its kind. The
result was that there was not a single
rotteii potato in the first mentioned half
of the lot ; in the other half there were
several bushels-pf rotten ones. The land
deep soil with much shell-lime and “ wliite-
fished” throughly—-within forty rods of
salt water. His opinion is that the rot
is caused by planting small, unripe, half-
grown trash, and that the way to improve
is to plant the very best and ripest.
And here is another lesson in potato
growing :
J. A. Hobart of San Pueblo, so says
the Califoroiia, Farmer, planted his pota-
toes iii J unuary. The yield was 200
sacks per acre. A suck is two and one-
sixth bushels, or nearly as much as the
average quantity sold her, for a barrel.——-
It is equal to 480 bushels an acre, audit
stated that there were no small potatoes
in the crop. The whole would probably
average one pound each.
How tlze Ground was ' Prepared.-——
Tlic «subsoil plow was used to the beam,
and the mold-board plow as deep as it
that the soil was stirred and pulverized
about two feet deep, and frequently ex-
posed to the action of the atmosphcre.——
The result was, the landproduced a crop
worth $600 or $700 an acre. V
Here is something for farmers in the
Atlantic States to think about.

_ Cnpo, Marcli,.,6,- 1857.
The Portsmouth having arrived at this
port, I am enabled to give you all the
news of any moment up to date. On
our passage down .from Shanghai, we
“_came»t0” off the , mouth of the river
Yung, and a boat expedition started for
Ning Po, (which is about sixteen miles
from th'é"in0uth of the river,) where we
duly arrived. Our object in touching at
that port, was to ascertain the truth of
the rumor, concerning an anticipated at-
tack bylthe Rebels upon that city. On
arriving there, however, we found every-
thing quiet, and the rumor without any
foundation whatever. The principal rea-
son of so many m_§i'chants* and I1llSSlOI18.-
ries evacuating that place is simply this :
the Kw-ay Tong (Canton) people, having
come amongst the hitherto '-sociable and
friendly disposed people of the Northern
Provinces,‘ have by an overdrawn and
exaggerated description of their suffer-
ings at the South, stirred up feelings of
intense hatred and animosity towards all
Foreigners, and owing to the coiitiiin-
ance of hostilities on the part of the Eu-
I glish, and the rapid influx of the Canto-
nese into the Northern" proviucse, our
citizens have become" alarmed for their
personal safety, ‘and many of the resi-
dents at Ning P_o, have left for other and
safer ports. During the brief period of
time the expedition remained there,
(three days,) I had ample opportunity
to learn the true state of ‘feelings exist-
ing between the Chinese and Foreigners
generally. I must, thefefore, in justice
to the people of Ning Po, my that in all
their intercourse with foreigners they ex-
hibit more sociability of disposition, and
genuine friendship of feeling, than do the
inhabitants of any of the other trading
ports. They are utterly regardless of
any thing transpiring without their im-
mediate vicinity, and as a. convincing
proof of this assertion, several weeks
ago when the rebels were within a day’s
march, and hourly threatening their city,
they-still manifested a perfect iudifl'er-
once to what was going on. This sleepy
indifference arises, probably, from. the
over indulgence of their luxurious opium
pipes—bc that as it may, it is one of
their theories, and, I may add, climacter-
istics, not to meet danger half way, but,
being arrant cowards, they, on the con-
ti°:iry,_kecp out of its way as much as
possible. 'Ning P0 is a much larger city
than Shanghai. T he literal name of it is
Ning Po Foo, which Foo signifies its
class, (0. second class city.) Slianghni
has Heeu affixed, signifying its class as a
third rate city. The population of Ning
P0 is estimated at 360,000 inliabitaiits.
It is like the generality of Chinese cities,
encompassed by it wall. Foi'eigiiers‘ai'e
at liberty to walk throughout the city,
and, with the exception of Canton, the
right of entry into any of the “Treaty
ports” is never for a moment disputed.— .
During our stay at Ning Po, an oflicial
visit was paid to the Toiiti, or prefect of
said place by Commander Smith, and sev-
eral of tlie_ officers of the Portsnionth.L
The Tonti appeared ’to be exceedingly
gratified at receiving a visit from the rep-
resentatives of so great a nation,‘ and ex-
tended to us the best of hospitality, a lo
Chinese. . , .
The missionaries at N ing Po, I am
happy to say, are doing ‘much apparent
good, much more so than we expected to
see, taking into consideration the singu_
lnr race of people they are amongst. The
natives on their side, treat them with all
respect, and the little American chapel
dedicated to the worship of Almighty
God is, on a Sunday, never empty. Our
missioiiaries are at liberty to travel into
the interior, free of molestation, so far as
their dialect will enable them to be iiii-
derstood. These facts regarding the
progress of our missions out here, cannot
but be gratifying to all those at home
who have felt such a warm interest in the
condition of the Cbiiiese, and their con-
version, and in my opinion clearly sub-
stantiates the fact that Christianity in-
troduced in whatever sectioiiof the globe
it may he, cannot but, if persevered in,
eventually prove successful. \Vhere is
there a. race of people more difficult to
convince of the fallacy of their theories
than the Chinese, whose laws and ordi-
nances (like those of the Modes and Per-
sians,) are immutable. There are many
who suppose (without any reasonable
grounds for such a supposition,) that
their hereditary superstitions are so firin-
ly ground in their. natures, that to.effec-
tually eradicate the same, is a niattcr of
absolute . impossibility, but I au_i firmly
convinced to the contuary. Bound down
by an arbitrary and tyrannical govern-
ment, and held in subjection and constant
fear of their uiandai-ins, they have not
had the some advantages to become
Christianized as many might be led to
suppose. But when the storm has past
which is now threatening China with all
its fury and foreigners allowed the right
*l‘here are but few merchants at King Po that are
American, those that are there doing but a small coast-
ing trade.» The harbor is » difficult ofnrcess, and but _
few ships go there’. ‘ We have at that port no estab-
lished Consulate, there is a Vice Consul who is appoint-
ed by the Consul at Shnngnni, but he is_u mis.-ionary,
in fact, with the exception of inissionzmes, there are
but few foreign resident at N in; P0. u
of social intercourse, I am confident that
their absurd and idolatrous theories of
J osh the Great Dragon, an_d Buddah, be-
sides numbers of a similar stamp, will
finally give’ ' way to Christianity and all
its attendant blessings. When we "con-
template the great metamorphose which
has taken place C in the Sandwich Islands
within a few years, may we not look for-
ward to some similar change in the con-
dition of the Chinese, if but once a firm
footing can be established in the country.
I must confess I am sanguine. I
I On arriving at Foo Choo Foo, w e were
anxious to learn the true state of affairs
atthc South: The result of our". enqui-
ries up to date, is of little imports nee.-—-
Admiral Seymour is at present in Hong
Kong “ lying‘ on his oars” awaiting fur-
ther orders from his government,‘ also the
powerful naval force which islou its way
out here to-augment his present force.——
Tlieappearance of his war ships is'de-
plorablc in the extreme, especially the
steamers which were employed on the
Canton river abreast Canton. Want of
ammunition and inadequacy of force,
compelled him to abandon what little ad-
vantage he had gained. The Chinese are
busily employed sinking junks across the
‘river near‘ to Canton, so ‘as to obstruct
the passage, iucase an attempt is again
made to bring the steam ers abreast of -the
provincial city. Such is: the vanity and
self-conceit of the Chinese, that they be-
lieve firmly that they have driven the
English away, and that it is the fear of
the Celestial forces prevents them from
continuing hostilities. (But I suspect
that were they fully aware of the fact of
a tremendous fleet -daily nearing their
shores to augment that of‘ the hated
Englisli “barbarians,” and that the sole
reason of the Admirals .abauiionin‘g the
siege was a want of ammunition and
available means tb continue such an une-
qual and singular mode of warfare, they
would then, instead of resting in fancied
‘security, be making more active prepara-
tions to contend with the same,‘ The
United States sloop of war Levant, and
U. S. steamer (flag ship,) San Jncinto,
are both lying in the harbor of Hong
Kong, where we will hasten to join them
via Amoy in a few days.
The great alarm of the Rebel party’s
movements has now almost died away,
they seem. to have abandoned the neigh-
borhood of the coast,,and struck for the
interior, thereby leaving their brethren
along the sea shore to battle with the
barbarians, without any fear of molesta-
tion from them. The fear of the rebel
party is now become of a secondary na-
ture, the only danger now to be appre-
hended is an outbreak among the. people
of the North, which might result in eith-
er the massacre or banishment of all for-
eigners from the five trading ports.

SIMPLE BU'l'l‘ER CooLER.-—Melted but
ter is. all very well in its right place, but
when butter is put upon the tea or break-
fast table, having the appearance of being
just out of the oven, it is anything but
creditable to the housekeeper, and far
from satisfactory to those who eat it-.———
Dry toast ‘is positively spoilt_if spread
with soft butter ; Indeed, if butter eounot
be brought to the table at least firm, if not
hard, it is better to keep it away altogeth-
er. Fortunately, however, it is not nec-
essary to proceed to such desperate
measurr s, as butter can be kept nice and
cool in the hottest weather, and that in a
very simple manner. Procure a new
flower-pot of a sufficient size to cover the
butter plate, and also a saucer large
enough for the flower-pot to rest in upside
down ; place a trivet or meat stand(such-
as is sent to the oven when ajoint is
baked) in the saucer, and put on this
trivet the plate of butter ; now fill the
saucer with water, and turn the flovver-pot
over the butter, ,-so that its bottom edge
will be below the water. * The hole in the
flower-pot must be fitted with a cork‘;
the butter will then be in what we call an
air tight chamber. ' Let the whole of the
flower-pot be then througnly drenched
-with watbr, and place it in as cool a spot
as you can. If this is done over night,
the butter will be as “ firm as a rock” at
breakfast time ; or, if placed there in the
morning, thebutter will be quite hard
for use at ten hour. The reason of this is
that when water evaporates, it‘ produces
cold , the porous pot draws up the water
which in warm weather quickly evapo-
rates from the. sides, and thus cools it,
and as no warm air can now get at the
butter it becomes firm . and 0001 ‘in the
hottest day.——Cor. Sczentz/ic_Amer1c<m.

A Landlord GraI:ified.'
A Yankee-—but -whether a trader or
not, I ,can’t say—stopped at a. tavern
“ away up North,” in the State of New
York, called for supper and “ fixins,” and
after swallowing, a pretty darned‘ conside-
rable bill, retired. Meanwhile the land-
lord and interlopers were busily engaged
in conversation. . C ' , "
By and by, Yankees and Yankee
tricks were discussed.‘ The landlord in-
formed the company that there was a
live Yankee in the house, and if ’twerc
possible he would have a trick - or two
out of him before he left, while the‘afore-
"said 1 “ hangers on” or - “lingerers”, were
to be witnesses. After a pleaant smile
all around at the bar, they niizzled-
Next morning the landlord and«con_ipa-
'ny were ready to snap at Mr. Yankee as
soon as he should make his appearance.
Breakfast being over, in walksJouatlian,
with an air p_eculia1_',to folks" ',._“ deown
east,” paid his bill, and was about-to de-
part, when the landlord accosted him
with , _ — " H
“ You,‘ it’s plain to, be seen that you
are a Yankee. Can or willyou oblige us
to a trick or two, for I can assure you we
are ready to be tricked if you can do it.”
“Wall, dunno ’bout that. . Hev dun a
few in my time; but dunno as I can do
anything smart this mornin’.”
“ 0, do. Let’s have a trick," , ex-
claimed the eager crowd. ’ _
“ Wall, seein its yeou, I’ll dew it,’ jest
to please you, but I swow you musn’t git
mad.” . , . '
"0, no, not at all,” says landlord.
“ I’ll go his security, chimed in old
Rum nose.
“ I reckon,_says Jonathan, “ you sell a
prodigious sight of licker in these parts,
and good at that. You have a pipe of
wine in the cellar, ch 27”
“Oh, yes, real stuff, too, I tell you.”
“Wall,” says Jonathan, “come along
all of yeou that wan’t to behold the mir-
acle performed,” and down they went in
the cellar. The said pipe was pointed
out. “ Neow,” says the yankee, “gen-
tlemen, you see that pipe of wine, dew
you ?”
A nod of assent went the rounds of
- the crowd. _ - V , *
“ Wall, neow, I kin take brandy out
of one end, and gin out of t’other.”
“ Do it, and you’ can take my head for
a foot-ball,” exclaimed the landlord. '
I Jonathan coolly drew from‘ his pocket
a small gimblet, and bored a small hole in
one end of the pipe, whichhole the land-
lord was requested to cover with his
thumb) He‘ did so,‘ and soon a hole was
bored in t’otlier end.- - . .
Jonathan kept a sober phiz during the
operation, and requested the landlord to
stop up the other, while. he went after
something to put the darned stud‘ in.—
The landlord complied with his — request,
and stretched across the pipe, resembling
a man of war’s man about to receive 8
dozen with the cat. Jonathan immedi-
ately decamped, he did.
The landlord’s back began to ache,
and he began to think the yankee was a
long time getting rials to put the licker
in. Soon the vials of his wrath began
to bile over, and words too _deep for ut-
terance, and be, holding on, endeavored
to keep the wine from leaking out. Soon
the hoax began to leak into .the heads of
the “outsiders.” ‘
By and by, one gave a laugh, and
guessed the landlord ‘was done a lectle
the brownest of anything hc’d ever seen,
and didn't the walls of the old cellar
ring and ring again with bursts of laugh-
t
er
The landlord raved and swore almost
—he was a. deacon in the church—and at
last he broke forth with-
_“' Dog my ctnrnal cats, if I lIain’t been.
tricked by that confounded yankee.”
He tried to get_some one of the crowd
to supply his place, but old Rumnose
thought-—he never let a good opportuni-
ty slip—’twould be well, inasmuch as the
landlord had allowed himself to be tricked
by Mr. Yankee Doodle, that he (the
landlord) should treat all bands, which
landlord did, and was released from his
tiresome posiltlion, after losing his patience.-

The following extract cannot fail to be
interesting to the botanist and chemist,
as well as to every lady who has a rose-
bush in her garden, or a. flower-pot in her
‘parlor. It is from the Paris Horticultu-
ral Review. The cxepriments described
were made by Robert Berands who says :
“About a year ago I made :1 ha sin
for a rose-bush, of magnificent grbgwth
and full buds. I waited for them to blow
and expected roses worthy of such a no-
ble plant, and of the praises bestowed up.-
on it by the vender. At length, when it
likpomed, all my hopes were blasted.—
e flowers were of a faded coler, and I
discovered that 11 had only a middling

in the pot in which my rose-bush was,
about half an inch deep with pulverized
charcoal. Some days after, I was aston-
ished to see the rose which bloomed, of
as fine a lively rose color as I could wish.”
