MISCELLAN EO i S
From Chambers Ednburg Journal.
JUGGLERS IN INDIA.

TThe convention of friend recently ar
rived from India enables us to notice one or
two of the surprising performances of the
iugglers of that country, which, though IA
miliar to persons acquainted with Eastern
matters, may be new to many Of the readers
of these pages.
A party of jugglers came forward on one
occasion to perform publicly i'll the yard of
the barracks OF Madras Many hundred OF
people, of all kinds, ages and denominations.
including the soldery of the establishment,
assembled 10 witness the exhibition. and
some little temporary arrangements were
made that all mig lit hear conveniently. The
leader of the jugglers, who were all, of
course, natives OF Hindoslan, requested the
commanding officer to place guard of men
around the scene of display-a precaution
which was adopted, and proved very wise
one. The floor Of the court, be it observed
was composed of sand, firm and we'll trod-
den. On this ground then, after some pre-
limnary tricks Of an inferior kind, one man
was left alone with little girl, the latter
seeming about 8 or years old. Beside
them stood tall narrow basket, perhaps :

From the Southern Cultivation
WHEAT STRAW A SUBSTITUTE FOR
FODDER

This is the season wheat is got out, and
regret to see the straw is thrown out to
make manure. ! once had a meadow of
thirty acres, producing good grass Feather
clover, and broad Ieafed blue grass all of
which made very fine quality of hay.
To save the trouble of feeding. and to fur
nish shelter for my cattle, put forks in the
ground, and on them placed poles Of such
size and at such distance apart that the
cattle could draw the hay down from be-
tween these poles, which were placed, by
the height of the forks, so as to admit the
cattle freely to walk under the frame, as
call it. On this frame stacked my hay.
stacked wheat straw in the same way, gen.
orally on the poorest spots in the field.
My cattle were turned in and permitted
to feed themselves, and at pleasure, to use
the stacks as shelter, of which they soon
learned the advantages. found my cattle
would use the stacks of hay as shelter, but
would not eat the hay so long as the straw
lasted, which proved to me, if they had
proper taste, that the straw was more valu-
able than the hay.
My horses and mules were furnished with
hay alone, in the stable, on which they
showed health and usual thrift. This ex-
pertinent for some years was observed, and
regularly this preference was shown for the
straw by the cattle; and they improved and
looked better while enjoying the feed oh
straw, than when they were confined to hay
alone, which was as soon as the straw was
consumed.
have never tried to feed the straw alone
to horses, but would not hesitate to say,
it is worth more than fodder. Try it; save
your own straw it will feed and sustain
cattle, horses and mules, and ultimately
manure more valuable than by the sloven-
ly process of throwing out to rot

And shrink from the driving snow.

GIVING PECULIAR FLAVOR TO MEAT
A little. experience in lattening or STALL
feeding animals, will demonstrate that al
most any particular flavor may be given to
the meat, by feeding it with different sub
stances. If you fatten beef on pumpkins,
you give the flesh sweet and juicy flavor,
and the talloW will have yellow tinge. If
fed upon apples, it will have different fla
vor, and the tallow be light colored aud
melt easier. Indian corn gives the tallow
more solidity, and a white color. If you
feed mich cows upon turnips, you can soon
taste them in the milk, and onions also will
that live upon fish, also have peculiarly
fshy taste. Partridges are sometimes rem
dered poisonous by eating poisonous ber-
Iries. There is a variety of ducks killed in
the waters of Chesapeake Bay and vicinity,
called Canvasback'' duck, which are very
famous for the peculiar flavor of their flesh.
which is caused by the kind of food which
they get in those waters. The food is SUD-
posed to be the wild celery. A Yankee, in
a recent Buffalo paper, recommends the
manufacture of canvasback ducks out of the
common domestic duck, by feeding them
with garden celery while fattening There
is no sort of doubt that if this species of
food be given them for some weeks before
they are killed, they will have the flavor of
it in their flesh, and perhaps be equal to or
better than the famous canvasbacks above
alluded to. 1t is an experiment very easily
tried, and one which will no doubt be both
successful and proftable-.Maine Farmer.

A KISSING HOLIDAY.
AN ENGLISH CUSTOM.

The correspondent of the Commercial
Advertiser gives the following description
of one Of the Easter Holidays, which he
passed at small town in the heart of Stat
fordshire:
On descending TO the little parlor of the
inn, on Monday morning, perceived thai
all the household were in their gayest at
tire, and that 70 one entertained any seri-
Gus notions of work or business. had
despatched my solitary breakfast of ham
and eggs, and other country dainties, and
was looking out with mixed feelings of de-
light and envy upon the prospect before me.
when the door of my room was suddenly
flung open, and six rosy-cheeked, ring lelled
young women entered, ttlering very much
and looking very foolish at each other, and
then at me.

due, am a rather handsome ielIow-my
mother has told me so thousand times

by this piece Of admiring attention. But to
be left alone in little parlor, with half a
dozen girls. requires some nerve, and con-
Tess began to feel rather quaintish. am

Irepngnance to being thus exhibited gratis.

my CONSERVATION when the leader of the
assailants, that very Mary who had brought
my breakfast half an hour before, and leer-
ed upon me only as a charmingly wicked
young woman can leer, advanced, seized
me round the neck, and impressed upon
my haIf-parted lips Gerocious kiss. This
was the climax. defed destiny from that

THE HOME OF LOVE.

By ROBERT F.. H. LEVERING.
AIn-"Fond Hearts.''
Our hearts are but the Home Of Loue,
The home of all the sweetest;
And pleasant smiles and wonted joys
Are constant guests the meetest.
There is sweet music in that home,
From heart to heart soft swelling,
Enchanting thought which could not roam
Where such delights are thrilling.
There is a glorious banquet there,
Sure heaven has not a sweeter,-
Affections fruits comprise the fare,
And Cupid is the water!
There are rich tapers through that scene,
Bewitching glory shedding,
From .Mary's eyes, of angel sheen,
Loves highest rapture's spreading.
There is bosom beating there,
Like miser, counting pleasure
That homes to him a clsket fair,
And Mary is his treasure!
There is thought which thrills delight,
From morn to noon and even,
A thought which giIds the tomb with light
This is the dalvn Of heaUen!
