HINTS UPON HOGS

This is undoubtedly the best seaso, 10
fatlen hogs. The mild yet bracing temper.
allure is favorable to the accumulation offat:
the dampness of the atmosphere has good
effect upon the pores and tissue of the skin:
while they are ready for Strengthening at pc
Rod when it will be cold enough to preserve
the meat until perfectly sailed.
There is no doubt either that corn is after
all the best substance on which to Ca,ten
them. Apples, mashed potatoes, pumpkins.
all these are good food for hogs; bu, good.
sound corn will be found after all exoeri-
ments the quickest means Of putting ,hemin
order, and their meat will be found infinite
ly superior to the meat of others fauened
in different manner.
1t will probably be found the best plan to
let hogs remain in the woods till very nearly
the close OF this month, and until within
short time of the period at which the farmer
intends to slaughter them. Then pu, up and
Iced them plenlifully on good, sound corn.
1t Will falten them at the rate of two pounds
day, if not delayed until The weather be-
comes too cold. This will be cheaper in the
end than keeping them long time in the
pen, on soft corn and pumpkins
The great secret for fat,ening hogs, as we'll
as Tor fa''ening every other animal, is to give
them the food at regular intervals The d.
gestlve organs acquire habits as we'll as the
limbs, and the whole frame. By feeding a.
regular hours, they acquire habits ofexer,ion
at those hours, and are able to digest more
readily andmore parfecl!y at those hours than
at others. If the reader doubts the theory.
let him try the experiment upon himself
Let him accustom himself,o taking his break
fast at six and his dinner at twelve, and then
change the hour of the one to eleven and Of
the other to five, and he will find great
lack of power in his digestive organs until
they become accustomed to the change.
Very numerous experiments have shown
the superior facility with which hogs fat,en
that eat at regular intervals, over those that
are fed irregnlarly. But TO make the meals
regular, it is necessary to give the food in
small quantities and frequently. If large
quantity of corn is thrown into the pen on
ly twice day, the hog will eat buta small
portion of it when first thrown in. The rest
will be eaten at fits and starts, and irregu-
larly. A great deal of corn is wasted too by
this improper plan Of feeding in large guam
titles and at long intervals. Much of it be-
comes covered with dirt and mire, and then
will be left untouched

MAN-HIS MENTAL POWERS.

MAN-HIS MENTAL POWERS.
Now man is weak in his muscles he
is strong only in his faculties. In ply
strength how much superior is an OK or a
horse to a MANN heelness, the dromeda-
ry or the eagle! 1t is through mental strength
onl that man becomes the superior and gov
ernor of all animals. But it was not the de-
sign of Providence that the work of the
world should be performed by muscular
strength. God has filled the earth and en-
bued the elements with energies of greater
power than all the inhabitants of a thousand
planets like ours. Whence come our ne
cessarles and our Injuries? those comforts
and appliances that make the difference be-
tween houseless wandering tribe Of In
dlans in the far West, and New England
village? They do not come wholly or
principally from the original, unassisted
strength of the human arm. but from the en-
ployment, through intelligence and skill, of
those great natural forces with which the
bountiful Creator has filled every part of
the material Universe. CaIorlc, gravila,ion,
expansibllily, omprehensibiity, electricity
chemical affini,ies and repulsions, sponta-
neous velocilies-hese are the mighty "a
gents which the intellec, Of man harnesses
10. the Car of Improvement The application
of water, wind and steam to the propulsion
of machinery, and to the transportation Of
men and merchandise from place to place,
has added ten thousand fold to the actual
products of human industry. How small
the wheel which the stoulest laborer can
turn, and how soon will he be weary -
Compare this with wheel driving a thou
sand spindles or looms, which a stream of
water can turn, and never tire. A locomo-
tive will take five hundred men and bear
them on their journey hundreds of miles a
day. Look at these same five hundred men,
starting from the same point, and attempting
the same distance, with all the pedestrian s
or equestrian's toll and tardIness. The cot
ton mills Of Massachusetts will turn out more

BEAUTY OF CoLoRs.-N olhing in nature
is more beautiful than her coors; every
flower is compounded of different shades :;
almost every mountain is clothed with herbs.
different from the one opposed to it :: and
every field has its peculiar hue. Color is
to scenery, what entabIature is to archiiec-
lure, and harmony to language. Colors are.
indeed so facnating, that in the East there
has long prevailed method OF signigfying
the passions, which is CALLED love-language
Of colors. This rhetoric was introduced in
to Spain by the A,abians. Yellow express
ed doubt; black. sorrow; green, hope; pur-
pie, consistency blue, jealousy white, CON
tent; and red, the greatest possible sa'isfac-
lion. In regard to morning, it may not be r-
relevant to remark, that though most Eu-
ropeans mourn in black, the ancient Spar
taus, Romans. and Chinese, mourned in
white; the Egyptians, in yellow; the Ethio-
plans, in brown the Turks in violet;
while Kings and Cardinals indicate their
grief in purple.-Harmonies of Nature.

Power OF THE LADIEs.-Wc copy says

tracts from an eloquent appeal to the friends

per. Ia addressing the ladies, the speaker
said -
You have influence which may be fell
throughoulall our and-throug bout all time
We know that the sphere in which it ope-
rates is different from ours-that it has none
of the tumult and struggle which character
ize the performance of the rougher and stern
err duties of life, but it is not necessarily less
important, and momentous in its results
The greatest movements are not always
those which are attended with the noisiest
demonstrations. In hat wonderful stiffness
is the whole economy Of the natural world
administered! Behold the vast machinery
of the universe with what infinite and in-
scrutable completely it proceeds in its im-
muable course Yet do we hear any noise
or sound thereof? Such is your influence
quiet and unoblrusve as that of the stars,
noiseless in its course as that of the sun, but
stream of life which may 60 forth to glad
den and vivify all our land.
Lost health may be resumed by industry.
the wreck of health be regained by temper
ance; forgotten knowledge restored by study;
aienated friendship smoothed into forge,lul-
ness; even forfeited reputation won by pen
ltence. But who ever again looked upon
his vanished hours, recalled his sighted
years, stamped them with wisdom, or efac-
ed from Heavens record the fearful blot OF
wasted life?

The New York True Sun gives the following as
having been written by the late Mrs ]. n. MATTE:
MY OWN THOUGHTS.
Oh would this crushed and beating heart
Could cease to struggle and be still
Long has it served, and been a mark
For the worlds scorn and vulgar WILL
Yet now it breaks twill bear no more ;
Twas overburthened long before.
Oh tell me not! Let me not hear!
The scorn they shower upon my name -
Fer oft It's whispered in mine ear,
And thrills to madness my poor BRAIN
And there times at which | crave
The drear dark mystery Of the grave !
And must it ever be, as now!
And am never to be free
From SANDERS tongue and envy's vow!
All! is there no sweet charity
Dwes in the carth-born here below
That thus they smile upon the blow
Which struck young girl to the dust
And dashed forever from her heart
The dreams of bliss she long had nurs'd-
And babe them all dispcrse, depart
Have they no pity for the fate
OF one thus made SO desolate
They do not know-they cannot feel
How deep the wounds their slight words make,
Wounds which, once given, nought can heal,
Or ease the sensitive bosom's ache.
But ah, ii is my lot to bear
Of this worlds ills a heavy share.

WHAT IS CHARITY.

WHAT IS CHARITY.
IT'S not to pause when at my door
A shivering mortal stands,
To ask the cause that made him poor,
Or why he help demands.
IT'S not to spurn that brothers prayer
For faults he once has known;
IT'S not to leave him in despair
And say that have none.
The voice of charity is kind,
She seeketh nothing wrong,
To every fault she seemeth blind,
Nor vaunteth with her tongue.
In penitence she pleadeth faith,
Hope smileth at the door,
Believeth first, then softly saith,
Go, brother sin no more.

THE MUSIC OF THE WIND.
BY A LADY.


There's music in the wind Music with
tones as varied as the coloring Of the au-
tumn leaves or the changing hues of the sky!
1t is familiar with the notes of every cline
and brings from every place song Now
it falls upon the ear in terrific and discordant
strains as though the elements of the dark
abode were striving for the mastery! A.
gain we listen to notes sweet as angels use,
or light and gleesome as if fairies lent their
voices.
Its tones are discordant when it sweeps
past scenes where evil rules and passions
rage furious and uncontrolled Amid the
din of arms and the cannons opening roar,
when brothers of the same great family fall
by brothers hand And what more Earring
and discordant than the clanking chains of
the captive, or the creaklng galIows where
frail humanity has so often been hurried in
to the presence Of his, maker unpre pared.-
Now it comes from the deserts sandy plain
with the groans of the parchng, dying pill
grim, who sinks beneath the Simoons dead
ly gale; awhile its course is stayed 10 visit
hollow cataco mbs, where lay entombed the
dead, and echoes pas, in wild unnumbering
strains; then on and on it goes, and pene
lrates where mor,als never can. Ii brings
also the roar of raging waters, engul phng
mnltitudes in their swell. The cry of the
dying sinner, the shipwrecked mariner, the
victim of The fearful avalanche and the fiery
valcano. At times it strikes. the keys of
nature so harshIy, they break TO atoms at
IL, Il Il H.
by. All these varied tones come to us
and we are awe struck by this strange mu-
stefan.
But sadness and terror is not all its Law
II comes TO us from scenes of peace, rich IN
melody, and our hearts are gladdened.-
The merry laugh of childhood falls upon
our ears and almos, induces us TO forget we
are but pilgrims in this care-rilden world.
The chime of devotion is brough, 10 US from
!oWly happy cottages, as on Bonded knees
the mercIes of the Great Gver are thank
fully acknowledged and His protection and
Cadence solicited for the unknown Future
II comes from sunny lands and murmur>
here the stolen note Of laughing gondollers
swiftly gliding the walery streets of Venice
SEdIIu dIt UtdulllUl IIpNI NlHC-Cldu jIliS
it comes and bears the light songs Of the
joyous vinragers. as they pluck the purple
iruit or store the gushing vine. 1t comes
from halls where mirth and tesIvIty reign.
with the echo of soft music and fairy tread
of footsteps in the whirllng dance. AT close
of day, from Tyrol's shores it brings US the
gentle strains of the shepherds evening
hymn 1t seeks the forests maze and lis |
dwelers do homage at its shrine; the nee
die pine leaves dance AT It's approach the
graver evergreens and cypress slowly and
reveren,ly raise their branches, while the
brave old oak slightly mods, and lofty is the
music made. Thus there is music in the
wind! music of many tones, and as it sports
and signs around US, we'll may we learn its
notes and gather tidlngs from other lands.
