felt, as they expressed themselves,
" quite lively" and were confident of
getting home well to which, no doubt,
this fortunate persuasion, in no small
degree contributes
Klln-dried grain is the least nutritious,
probably because the oil and animaized
matter are detached by degree of
combustion in the operation. This pro-
cess is said to be indispensable, TO fit
Indian corn-meal for expectation; but
this does not prove its salubrity Let
swine be fed with Indian corn-meal thus
prepared, and those who make the ex-
pertinent will not attempt'it again
Any kiln drying dissipates the oil and
vegeto-animal matter, in a greater or
less degree; but if carried no farther
than merely to destroy its negotiating
principles, it is said not to injure its ali
mentary qualities.
Lord Dundonald recommends mailing
the grain on which horses are fed, to
form and tx the saccharine quality.
Colonel Kowatch, who, in our service,
commanded the infantry of Pulaski's
legion, had been an old partizan officer
in the north of Europe and had com
manded large corps of irregular horse
either Cossacks, Croats or Pandours.
He fled hitlter, after the troubles of
Poland. He told me, that they often
baked the chopped or ground grain, for
their horses having previously formed
it into portable cakes. 1t was ferment-
ed, or raised, in an expeditions and sim
pie way, by a kind of leaven. With
this, they sometimes used oil-cakes.-
He said baked provender went twice as
far as raw meal, or grain. The saccha-
rine quality was, no doubt, produced by
this process, and its alimentary prop
critics increased General Pulaski had
favourite charger to whom he often
gave bread, which the animal seemed
to enjoy far beyond any other food, Ii
Holland 1t IS common practice to give
the horses rye bread, or baked proven
der. The late sheriff Penrose, who
had fine team of working horses, was
in the habit of buying condemned ship
bread, as the most nutritious and cheap
est horse feed. He said that others
knew, and profted BY its advantages.
= DR.. Rush informs me, that (in 1777) while
ne had the direction of military hospital at
Moristown, he cured the same disease by a
like change of diet. The ratons of fresh
meat, were exchanged with the farmers, for
salt pork and bacon.

THE INEXPERIENCED SHEPHERDESS
RUSSIAN POPULAR SONG.
I'M fourteen summers old, trow;
IT'S time to look about me now:
twas only yesterday, they said,
was silly, silly maid
'Tis time to look about me now.
The shepherd SWANS so rudely stare;
must reprove them, declare:
This talks of beauty, that of love
I'm such fool, can't reprove-
must reprovc them, Declare.
Wis strange-but yet hope no sin
Something unwonted speaks within:
loves language is mystery;
And yet feel, and yet see
o what is this that speaks within?
The shepherd cries, /" love thee, sweets
sAnd love thee my lips repeat:
Kind words. they sound as sweet to me
As musick's fairest melody:
Il love thee,' off my lips repeat.
His pledge he brings-I'll not reprove;
Ono; I'll take that pledge of love;
To thee my guardian dog I'd give,
Could without that guardian live;
But still take thy pledge of love.
Ny shepherds crook I'll give to thee
o no ! my father gave it me
And treasures by a parent given,
From fond childShould meier be riven-
o no! my father gave it me.
But thou shalt have yon lambkin fair
Nay. tbs my mothers fondest care;
Each snowy lambkin on the mount -
I'll give thee, then, no lambkin fair.
But stay, my shepherd! wilt thou be
Forever taithful-fond of me
A sweeter gift III then impart,
And thou shalt have maiden's heart,
If thou wilt give thy heat to me.

The old lady had a long line of re-
proaches drawn up in order of march
between her lips; but the mention of
the Boyle was the signal for disbanding
them. A thousand questions poured in,
in rapid succession. How old was she !?
how was she dressed? who was she
like? What did she say?'
8 She was a tall, thin womah, about
seven feet high p

ing her own green apron round her
thumb.
6 How you like to teaze one - said
the lover. Poor Andrew did not at all
enter into his mistress's pleasantly; for
he laboured under great depression of
spirits, and never lifted his eyes from
the ground.
But We haze ma tald us what she said,
lad!' said the old woman, assuming an
air of deeper mystery as each question
was put and answered III its turn.

Andrew started, and doubt seemed
to pass over bis mind. He looked up
at the damsel, and perceived, for the
first time, that her large blue eye was
laughing at him, from under the shade
Of huge three-corneFed hat The
next moment he hung over her in an
ecstacy OF gratitude, and smothered
with his kisses the ridicule which she
forced upon him, as the penalty of his
preservation.
