Self-Devotion. . Nearly every reader of a newspa-- per will recollect that a short time ago, a fearful fire occurred at Young orstand, a smal] town of Suxony, during which 300 hooses were con- sumed. Many, too, have read Mrs. Hemans' tonching poem: ** Cassabi- anco," which celebrates the filial obedience of the boy who * stood on the burning deck, whence all but iim had fled," and stood until he per ished, bat the scli-devotion in this case is not more woaderful than that recorded of the two little bell-ringers and the idiot boy of Saxony. No great writer may immoralize the deeds of these unfortunate creatures, but the tale to'd in the simplicity of praise is puthetic enough without the sad adornment which is sometimes the part of poetry to give, It is as as follows; ¢ Qu the top of a church tower, in a small room, lived & man with hia wife and two children, a boy of twelve and a girl of ten, His bu- siness was to cry out the hours to ring the belis for marriages, bap- tisms and burials, and to sound the alarm in case of his obgerving any fire. On the 10th of August he was athis post, with his wife and dangh- ter, when at about nine o'clock in tls morping he observed at thé end of the town, a thick and ominious look- ing cloud of smoke rising from a baru adjoining a small house. The eyes of the whole family were at once turned to the spot. The bell ring era immediately sounded the alarm, and the fire, atimglated by the wind, and finding an easy prey in houses covered with shingles or thatch, spread with such alarming rapidity "| that in- less than half an hour,# ty houses were destroyed. At this moment the son of the bell-ringer ar- rived, panting with baste, having ran home from school like his school fellows. The father, uneasy at the rapid progress of the flames, and thinking of saving his little property, gave the bell-rope to his son, and with the help of the mother hastened to put together Lis modest amount of moveables and carry them to a place; of safety. Meantime the fire reached the houses surrounding the church, and the flames began to lick the sides of the church and even of the tower. The two children saw their danger, their glances roved with terror over a sea of flame and smoke, but they felt a consciousness of daty, they remained at the post which had been entrusted to them. They rang, and rang on. If men," said they, "do not hear, Heaven will" Suddenly the ringer and hie wife returned to the gate of the tower--they tried to enter, but were forced to tura back --the tower, the stairs, the roof was on fire. They screamed and wrong their hands, when suddenly the tocsin ceased to sound. A fearful crash was heard, and the tower fell crush- ing the four victims. The second episode was not less intercsting. An idiot, who was watching languidly the progress of the flames, suddenly heard the cries of a mother, who in her distress, had forgotten in her blazing dwelling Ler daughter of three yearsof nge. The flames were at the time bursting throughthe win- dows. The poor child was scream- ing witn fright, bat no one tried to save her. The id ot rushed into the house, and, seizing the child by her blazing garments, threw her from a window into her mother's arms, and fractured by the fall of a blazing beam. His body could not afterwards be discovesed, bat the idiot at last died a bero. iE WRITING FOR THE Press. --Dr. Pea- body gave it as his experience that while the clergymen prepared the vest ¥ copy" for the North American, accession of pith.

The milk sbould not be snffered to tarn sour before the cream is removed: and in performing this operation, the cream alone should be sgparated, leaving all the milk behind. The careless dairy maid often dashes more milk than cream out. This curdles, and besides im-- parting its taint to the oleaginous portion of the mixture, interferes with the veparation of htis element in the process of cleaning, and is, no doubt, often a main impedient to the '* butter coming", ina coul and well ventilated apart- ment, should not be kept too long, and shoold be stirred with every fresh addition. The most scrupulous cleanliness should characterise all the operations of butter making. When the butter is all separated and collect: ed, great pains should be taken to ia best dune, we believe, in the churn, by" repeated applications of cold water, yging the dash rather than the hands to effect the separation. If any buttermilk js left, it is sure to impart a disagrecable flavor to the butter , and will cause it to become runcid. In salting, use the best salt in moderate proportion, aud not in the, excessive quantities that are fre. qiently employed, probably in the vain hope of covering iencies| and smothering unpleasant flavors. the fullowing mixture of salt will be found to make good salted butter, from which all its buttermilk has been previously most carefu'ly wash: ed out :--8 ounces of best salt; 4 ounces of saltpetve, 4 ounces of the best white loaf sugar. - All these in- gredieuts to be well pounded down, and thoroughly mixed together.

The night chuscn for the deed was always. a dark and stormy one; the poor yictim invaria- bly fell into the snare of accepting hospitality till moruing,snd overcome by the drug mixed with the liquor he nad taken, fell into slumber as soon as he had sunk upon the straw pro- vided for Lis night's accommodation; then with the heavy mace used by the butchers of Paris for gtunniag the oxen, he dashed out the brains of his victim, and proceded deliberately to cat up the body, which he flang into the river piecemeal, carrying the fragment slung over his shoulder, without the smallest fear of disdoyery. "1 knew well enough that no man would have imagined another bold enough to carry the evidence of crime thus openly," said the villain when the Judge d'[nstruction express- ed wonder at the audacity which had prompted this disregard of discovery. The affair has filled us with the most serious alarm, for this wholesale but: chery has been going on for some time without the smallest suspicion on the part of the police; and it was only by the carelessness of the muderer that the series of crimes was dc--- tected at last.

Ar ------------ Recent events in Italy have serves ed to convince many of Garibaldi's wirmest and most uncompromising admirers that he is not such a won- derfully able man after all, and that bis past successes were more attriba- table to Count Cavour than to the " hero of the red shirt himself. Pub= - lic men and public men and public journals, now ready to admit this, would have howled with rage, a month since, at any man who dared to question the infalible wisdom and enius of Garibaldi. So gpcedily does a little want of success bring a man down from the pinnacle of popu- larity. Garibaldi's goud intentions and devotion to the cause of Italy, we have never doubted ; but his abilities, either as a statesman or ag a gentleman are certainly very ques- tionable.
