A WITTY LECTURE.

The following extract from the re-
port Of a committee on Hogs, read be-
fore an Agricultural Society "down
east" contain some excellent hits:
"Again: Some folks accuse pigs of
being filthy liz their habits, and negli-
gent in the personal appearance But
whether fond is best eaten off the
ground, or from China plates, is, it
seems to me, merely matter Of taste
and convenience, abou: which pigs and
men may honestly differ. They ought,
then, to be Judged charita bly,. At any
rate pigs are not filthy enough to chew
tabacco, nor to poison their breath BY
drinking whiskey. And as to their
personal appearance, you don't catch a
pig playing the dandy, nor the female
among them picking their way up this
muddy village, after rain, in kid slip

notwithstanding their heterodox
notions, hogS nave some excel!eh'
traits of character. If one chances TO
walIow little deeper in some mire-
hole than his fellows, end so carries of
and comes in possession Of more of
this earth than his brethren, he never
assumes an extra importance on that
icccount; neither are his brethren stupid
enough to worship him for it. Their
only question seems to be, is he still a
hog? If he is, treat him as such.
Sand when a hog has no merit of
his own, he never puts on aristocratic
airs, nor claims any particular respect
on account of his family connections:
and yet some Hogs have descended
from very ancient families. They un-
derstand full well, the common sense
maxim, every tub must stand on its
own bottom
