FAT1ENING PorLTRy.-An excellent
way is to boil potatoes, and mash them
fine, then add meal, just before the food
is given to them. 1t is asserted that tur-
keys, geese, and otker fowls, will thus
tatten in one halfthe time usually requir
ed when they are fed on grain alone.

''First shut the doors and windows of
the room containing the fire: stop up the
llueof the chimney with piece of wet
carpet or blanket; and then throw a little
water or common salt on the fire. By
this means the draught of the chimney
will be checked, and the burning SCOT
will soon be extingulshed for want of
air. Let this be remembered by the

POOLING WITH THE BULL.

The portion Of the Abolitionists who
are getting soft soaped up by the cunning
wing Tay |ori;es just now, will be after
the election a good deal like the honest
old fashioned Yankee farmer who had an
unruly bull, which had a remarkable
love for the old farmer, Sin horn and a
singular penchant for giving his acquaint-
ances and friends lift in the world
One day the farmer was driving the bull!
home much against his inclination, and
getting enraged he suddenly hoisted the
old man across the fence into the road
but fortunately only slightly hurt him.
The old man gained his equilibrium, and
then he saw the enraged animal saving
the air with his head and neck, and paw
ing the ground. The good Old man look
ed steadily at him moment and then
shaking his fist at him exclaimed: ssDarn
your apologies-you need't stand there,
you tarnal critter, bowin' and scrapin'
you did it o. purpose, darn you!'
So 1t will be with these poor deluded
mortals after their overwhelming defeat
in November, and when the honest lago
wings with al. their power Of soft solder
undertake to explain, you will find out,
gentlemen, they "did it a. purpose, darn
them. - Detroit Free Press.

The Mind, the Heart, md Soul.

The Mind, the Henri, and Soul,
The Human Mind, that lofty thing,
The palace and the throne,
Where reason sits q sceptred king.
And breathes his judgment tone.
Oh! who with silent steps shall trace
The borders Of that haunted place,
Nor in his weakness own
That mystery and marvel bind
That lofty thing the Human Mind!
The Human Heart. that restless thing,
The tempter, and the tried,
The joyous, yet the suffering,
The source of pain and pride,
The gorgeous-thronged-the desolate-
The seat of love. and lair of Hate
Selt-stung-self-dei
Yet do we bless thee as thou art.
Thou restless thing the Human Heart!
The Humon Soul, that startling thing,
Mysterious, yet sublime,
The Angel sleeping on the wing,
Worn by the SCOTS of time;
The beautiful, the yelled, the bound,
The earth enthralled, the glory crowned,
The smitten in it's prime.

That startling thing, the Human Soul!
And this is mrn! Oh ask of him,
The erring but forgiven
While DER his vision drear and dim
The wrecks of time are driven,
If Pride or Passion in their power,
Can stem the tide or turn the hour,
Or, stand in place Of Heaven?
He bends the brownie bows the knee

readers are aware, we expect, that the
press upon which our little sheet is print
ed, is the oldest now in use in the United
States, and probably in the world. YET
such is the fact. The press now used
by us has been in almost constant serv-
ice more than hundred gears. Upon i,
was printed the "the Maryland Ga=eue''
the earliest paper published in the prov
ince of Maryland and one among the very
first in America. Upon it also, was print
ed the first volume Of the Laws Of Mary

and requires three pulls, though two
were originally sufficient to produce a
good impression. 1t is truly a venerable
object.-St. Ma~y's (Md) Gazette.
