Feeding Lire Stock in Winter.-Many far
mers believe it indispensable, both as to the
good condition Of their stock and the greatest
economy Of fodder, tO feed them i've times al

ers practice feeding but three or four times
in day and again. Others hart twice.

modes af feeding will carry stack through the
winter in the highest order. and with the 'ea'I

ths subject is decidedly in favor Of feeding
but sw ice in a day. More than twenty years
observation and experience 10 the keeping OF

fodder is required to he given more than sew

to examine. particularly, as to the kind and

Pleasures Of Hope.-Campbell, the cele-
brated author Of the Pleasures Of Hope
happened to be one day at an inn in Hadding-

nigh. and he expressed a wish to retire,
young chambermaid Of uncommon beauty
attended him with light to show him to bis

trcss made a powerful impression upon the

image. Ia the midst Of most delicious
dream, he was awakened by the appearance
of the fair chambermaid at the foot Of his
