A JOKE FOR THE LADIES.—An editor of a paper
lately informed his readers that the ladies always pull oif
the left stocking last, This, as may be supposed, created
some stir among his fair readers, and while in positive terw►
they denied the statement, they insisted that he had ne
business to know it even if suck were the fact, and pro-
nounced him no gentleman. He proves it, however, by e
short argument—" When one stocking is pulled off, there
is another left on ; pulling off this is taking the left stock.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]--Thorley's Food for Cattle is nos
beginning to seriously attract the attention of the farmer,
breeder, and, feeder of stock. Two years of unremittinf
care and attention have enabled its inventor to take high
ground as a benefactor to these interests; and notwithstaad'
beg the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled
against it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted
value, will become a necessity to the agricultural interest.

produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to it.

early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this
singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated
to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive
mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this,
he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very nature'
desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ar
plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Bet-
