view to economising hog food soon became
convinced that wonderful effects might be easily
produced; and though then made regular re-
cord of what did, strange tell / have never till

pertinent going between raw corn and meal,
made into good thick mush--two pigs OF about
one hundred weight each, have been eating seven
pounds each Of raw per twenty tour hours;
and TWO others of near the same size have had ex-
actly seven pounds of meal made into good mush
between them. This seven pounds meal, cooked
into the state of good stiff mush, weighs from TWEEN
ty eight to thirty three pounds | weighed my
pigs accurately at beginning, and weighed again

FROM THE NEW ENGLAND FARMER.

From the Committees Report OH Farms IN Esser.
The farm of Mr. Jacob Perley, in Newbury,
contains about 1870 acres, and is well cultivated.
The very fine appearance of the orchards his
farm, and the unusual size of the fruit, led the in
quiry of the means by which this was Effected. Mr..
Perey attributes it principally to his mode Of prun
ing the trees. This he does every year; and takes
off much larger proportion of the branches than
usually done. By permitting the sun and air to
have free access TO every branch of the tree. the
fruit will be richer, larger, fairer, and more album
dant. This theory derives support from the fact,
that the fruit on the southern side of gene
rally much superior to that on the northern. A.
mother effect of annual pruning is to produce annu
al bearing and this Mr.. Perley states to have been
the case with his trees and those in the vicinity that
have been treated in similar manner.

The following hymn sung in Salem, (Mass.) at
conservation of new Church in that place. This
pie devotional piece is from the pen and from the hi
of the Rev. Mr. Perpont, of Boston, the author OF
Airs of Palestine.
o Thou, TO whom in ancient time,
The Tyre of Hebrew bards was strung,
Whom kings adored in songs sublime,
And prophets praised with glowing tongue,
Not now, on lions height alone,
The favoured worshipper may dweR,
Nor where, at sultry noon, thy Son
Sat, weary, by the Patriarch's we'll
From every place below the skies,
The grateful song, the fervent prayer
The incense of the heart-may rise
To Heaven, and find acceptance there.
In this Thy house, whose doors we now
For social worship first unfold,
To thee the supplant throng shall bow,
While circling years on years are rolled
To Thee, shall Age, with snowy hair,
And Strength and Beauty, bend the knee,
And childhood lisp, with reverend air,
Its praises and its prayers to Thee.
Thou, to whom in ancient time,
The Tyre of prophet barls was strung,
To Thee. at last, in every cline,
Shall temples rise, and praise be sung

A GREEK WAR SONG.

1t comes-the Crescent DER the sea
With baleful light from far,
Oh, Greece, its fame glares woe on thee,
Like malignant star.
Then let US raise our brighter sign
The glorious Cross on high,
And pour around its light divine,
To blast it from the sky.
They come-the foe is on the wave;
They proudly break the foam.
Oh, let the ocean be our grave
Ere they go proudly home.
1psara we'll remember thee,
Amid the dashing spray,
That reddens where our sails shall be
Mixed with the foes array.
Tho the dark Savage tore thy bloom,
And slaughtered ADD deil'd
Till thou vert like place of doom,
So desolate so wild
Yet there's vengeance lives to sweep,
hrounu my tdtei Snore3
The tyrant 10 the bowling deep,
And in his shroud of gore
Ipsara we'll remember thee.
When DER our fathers graves;
Like mountain hunters, we shall spring
Upon the startled slaves.
The columns Of our native land,
Remind us OF our race,
That mid barbarian ravage, stand
In gory's broken grace.
So, how'd beneath a savage yoke,
The Greecian heart enslav'd
Might by the iron rod be broke,
But not be all deprav'd.
Oh ! for our temples-for our right,
And for our lovely land,
Raise high the Cross in freedoms light.
And arm its soldiers hand.
So shall we strike Oppression down.
So quell barbaric pride;
Nor crouch beneath the Moslem frown,
Where the Proud Persian died.

OBITUARY.

Elm the midst Of life we are in DEATH is
fact which each day's melancholy experience
fully confirms. When youth, whose pros
poets are lair and fatlering--who is just en-
tering on the busy theatre of life,-and who
had ondly cherished the pleasing hope, that
he should spend many happy DAYS IN the en-
joyment uf tha society, to which hewas bound
by the tender hgaments of nature. - When one
thu. situated, is suddenly translated from time
to eternity, it naturally fills the mind with Sc.
cret dreadful awe. The subject Of this notice,
Mr.. Haison Moore, SON of EIoratia Moore,
ESQ Piscatawav, Md was young gentleman
of strict moral habits: one whose amIable de.
pertinent and suavty Of manners, has en-
deared him to the society OF few friends and
although their acquaintance was hut short,
yet it was sufficient to de, elope disinterested
feeling of soul. that felt for others woes, His
hand to the extent of his means, was ever
ready to assist the children OF poverty, and
though he has been cut down in the morning
of life, he has lett behind him an example
worthy of imitation--for in his last moments
he found twas not SO ditficu to die Tins
little tribute ofregard Is offered under sense
of dGty-for
sThere is tear that flows for all who die
The humblest claim-the tribute ola sigh
None fall unhonour'd, though unknown to
fame,
Affection loves, affection mourns each name;
For still some tie of nature binds the heart,
And nought can rend it like the words we
part [hear,
That bitter doom, which all who live must
Sheds over life the darkness OF despair;
Bids fond affection mourn the hope it hurst,
And Ger its blighty feelings, spends itself
and burst NJ.
