to tie all the four feet Of the animal together, bring
1t to the ground, and turning its head back to cut
the throat at once down to the bone, with long,
very sharp, but not pointed knife, dividing all the
discharged quickly and completely. The effect is
indeed said to be su obvious that some Christians
will eat no meat but what has been killed by Jew
butcher. Calves, pigs, sheep, and lambs, are all
killed by dividing at once the Large vessels Of the

From the Episcopal W'atchman
ON THE DEATH OF BISHOP KENT


Seep's thou, best leader in the host of God,
So deep in thy calm bed Peace is not made
between thy King, and he who lifts his rod
Upon the worlds high places. Hast thou laid
Thine armour down SO soon beneath yon silent shade
Firm wer, thou for the truth, and on thy shield
Was His device, who every angry foe
Through meekness overcame. Why didst thou yield
The battle thus, and bow thine head so low
Father in God for thee sad tears Of anguish flow.
A whispered voice was the autumn gale,
And he, at whose cold breath the mighest bow,
Whose summons turns the cheek 81 man so pale,
Stood at thy side in majesty and thou
Didst clasp his hand in thine, with blaucid yet placid
brow.
The Church doth mourn,-for thou dds wisely guide
Her trusting flock tow'rd that celestial cline
Where winter dare rot come, or blight abide,
And still thy faith. mid all the ills of time,
Fixd on the eternal throne ardent glance sublime.
To change thy mtre for heavenly crown,
The gain how great Can lip OF mortal tell
His bliss ho this dull load Of nesh lays down
Among the patria chs and the saints dwell
Where the full tide OF praise through deahess years
shall swell

Or THE STUDY OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM WITH
REFERENcE TO AGRIcULTURE.

REFERENcE TO AGRIcULTURE.
Of the Economical Uses Of animals.
On the Importance of animals in the arts as Ia.
borers. as furnishing food, clothing, medicine, and
materials for various lnufactures, it is needless
to enlarge.
As labourprs the quadrupeds are almost solely
employed; and OF these the most universally USE
full is the horse, and next the and the ass. With
out the constant use Of these animals, the general
economy of civilized life in the temperate climates,
and more or less in every climate, would be en-
trely altered as would be the economy Of Arabia,
and many parts of Africa without the use of the
camel The dog is valuable as messenger and
watching animal. and has been and is employed in
that capacity in all ages and countries.
As articles Of. food man employs animals belong
ing to every class. from the quadruped to the
zoophyte. In some cases, he makes choice of a
part only Of an animal, in other cases, he devouls
the whole. He kills and dresses some animals,
while he swallows others in live state. The
taste Of man exhibits still more remarkable dife-
rences Of rational kind. The animals which are
eagerly sought after by one tribe are neglected or
despsed by another. Thus the seals and porpoises,
which, few centuries ago. were eaten in Britain,
and we're presented at the easts Of kings, are how
rejected By the poorest of the people.
Those quadruppds and birds ,chich feed on grass
or grain. are generally preferred by man to those
which subsist on flesh or fish. Even in the same
animal, the flesh IS not always of the same colour
and favour, when compelled to subsist on different
kinds of food The feeding of black cattle with
barley straw has always the effect of giving to their
fat yellow colour. Ducks fed on grain have flesh
very different in favour from those which feed on
fish. The particular odt'r of the fat Of some ami
mails seems to pass into the system unchanged. and
BY its presence, furnishes us with an indication OF
the food which has been used.
While many kinds Of animals are rejected as
seI,ss there are others which are carefully avoid
ed as poisonous. Among quadrnpeds and birds.
none Of these are to be found, while, among fishes
and ,nollusca several species are TO be met with,

Mark how tie earth, as the months declining,
Casts her green robes Of beauty away;
In crimson and gold groves aud mountains shining
Decked, as they fade, in their brightest array.
Proudly they stand in gorgeous splendor,
Glorious mid the gathering gloom,
Calmly waiting to surrender
Iionors that freshly in spring shall bloom.
Low in be west, days king is descending,
Wrapt in lis mantle Of beauty and light

Press oet his rath, aud involve it in night,
Yet though 10 darkness and clouds disappearing,
Light eternal round him flows;
Ligh,, that man and nature cheering,
Shall call the gay morn from its deep repose.
Oh, uhen the day Of thy life is over,
III brightness like this may st thou sink 10 thy rest
While the last dark clouds that around thee hover,
Beam with light from the realms of the blest.
Thus may thy pure and rpened spirit
Glow in life's antumnal ray;
Calmly waiting to inherit
Heavens joyous spring time, that fades not away.
