No, no; she had been a mother, and
though all her children slept under the
cold sod in the churchy ard, she was a
mother still.
She went up to that poor boy, not to
hasten him away, but to lay her fingers
kindly and softly on his head; to tell him
to look up and from theneeforth find in
her a mother. Yes; she even put her arm
about the neck of that forsaken, deserted
child; she poured from her mothers heart
sweet, womanly words, words of counsel
and tenderness.
Oh! how sweet was her sleep that

most silken, the strongest bands of love;

On Cattle Feeding.

AS this is the season when feeding cat
tel for winter beef is a prime object with
all farmers and also when he should pre-
pare to lay out system for winter feed
ing, we presume that few remarks on
this subject will be as words in right sea-
son.
In great many cases cattle feeding is
badly managed on account of firregularity.
Although this is so common and the con-
sequence so palpable yet it is point very
apt to be overlooked. If we were to ask
six people how they use certain kind of
food for their stock, we should probably
get as many different answers. Some
may use hay and turnips, giving plenty of
the former, and sometimes of the latter,
just as they find it convenient to provide
them the hay is given in large quantities
at one time, with the injunction to let them
have finished what they have got. But
the best method in this is on the principle
oflittle and often. One day they get tur-
nips in such large quantities to produce
the symptoms and no doubt some of the
effects of souring, and at another time
they have so few that they are bound up
in the bowels. Another after trying this
up-and down way of it for time, it is
found out that the beasts hardly pay the
expense of carrying the roots for them,
and the whole plan is condemned as unpro-
6table. Prehaps some artificial food is
used, but instead of giving it regular as
to time and quantity they get it just as it
suits the parties in charge; and as the
beasts eat it readily, and are anxious to
get it, having no stated time for they are
always on the look out whenever they see
the feeder, and are deprived of that rest
which they ought to enjoy.
For winter feeding, cattle should get their
food as regular as feeders. Dry hay is a
sorry morseI day in and day out, and es-
peciaIly heated hay. that miserable stuff
deprived of halfits original nurtritive quail
tiles by heating in the NOW. This kind of
hay is too plenty. Potatoes and turnips or
cabbages and bruised indian corn should
be given to all cattle, young and old,
at least once per day during the winter
season. Every farmer should have large
iron boiler in well-built shed and food
should be in it once every day for milch
cows; chopped straw, cabbages, &C.,
make palatable and comforting meals for
neat cattle, but food must be given at
stated times, or the good effect OF cooked
meals will not be exhibited.

Tho hot cakes smoke in the napkins white
And now / wait for theG. rs
Come home love, thy task is done;
The clock ticks 1isteningly,
The blinds are shut, the curtain down.

Looks around him wistfully;
And when the whispering winds 60 by,
As if thy welcome step was nigh,
He crows exultingly.
In vain-he finds the welcome vain.

That glance is so like thine.
