Showing how Mrs. Jones was Cured of Pre-
tensions and Petty SIander.

Mrs. Jones stood in the midst Of cambrcs,
notions, linens, and calicoes. She was sort
ing this, cutting out that, and folding the
other on a long table at her side, when in
came little woman with green spectacles,
satin bonnet, and an extremely nice white
muslin dress, and sat down looking fatigued
and dusty.
Glad to see you, Mrs. Gillv, take of your
bonnet said little Mrs. Jones, bustling to-
wards her, full of work you see as usual
Thank you, | can't stop a minute-or
least ways more than that returned Mrs,
Gily, tanning herself with her reticUle.
declare what an Industrious creature YOU are,
Mrs. Jones; seems 10 me you are forever
busy
Well, so / am, especially at this season.
You see there's Tommy Jefferson and Henry
Clay, and George Washington, they've all got
to have a fit out-trousers and jackets, jack
cts and trousers-what pests boys are; and
there's Mary Antoinette and julia Caesar, and
Cleopartry, and little Victoria America-she's
asleep now-most blessed child ever lived
she'll wake up by and by; you'd die laugh

TO be calicoed, and what not--oh, dear, how
much one does have to do that brings up a
family; what trials children are
Don't say one word--don't say one word,
echoed Mrs Gilly, putting up her hands and
making a most ludicrous face expressive Of
resignation amid dispair, often think OF
that, especially when they're troublesome
And they're seldom anything else sighed
Mrs. Jones, mentally admiring beautiful
piece Of French gingham, and thinking how
much it would become Victoria America.
But dear Mrs. Gilly, she suddenly exclaimed,
starting from her reverie, do you know

The best Breed of Swine for the Farmer.

AhO "SS' ASIceu vi SWINE 1or the FARMER.
| am perfectly satisfied from long expert
ence, and have publicly advocated it for ur-
wards OF ten years, that the best and most
profitable swine for the farmer, is that breed
which Will nearly mature at eight TO twelve
months old, and then weigh, well fatted and
dressed, from $50 to $50 pounds. A piee
that has to be wintered and kent till l6 to
l9 months old before fully fatted. rarely
pays for itself at the ordinary price of pork
and the average weight of those, in the
United States, even year and a half old.
do not believe exceeds 300 pounds.
Now what the farmers want is & large
breed with fine points and great growth
Such breed as can be made fat at anv aoe
invariably natures quick. But recollect
they must have Ji2ae points by this I mean
tlne or small heads, ears, legs, feet and tail,
wide deep chest, and a round full BODY.
like barrel. These constitute what are
technically called fine points. None Of your
big heads, lop-ears, coarse bristles and hair,
long leg, great feet, and fabby, thin, slab
sided bodies, after the alligator or landpike
order. Of the large breeds, | prefer the
Lincoln.
| In order to get pigs to weigh we'll they
must come early. February in the Southern,
March in the Middle, and April in the
/ Northern states, are the best months to drop
! pigs. Feed them from the start all they
will eat and they will be ready to kill from
October to january, and thus you dispense
with wintering any, except those reserved
for breeding.
Fer hams. particularly, and sometimes
for bacon, especially for the English market,
lean tender meat is most desirable. A par
ticular breed like the Berkshire, is best adap-
ted to this purpose and these may be kept
from year to eighteen months old before
| fully tattened. When it is desired to fine
and improve swine of coarse points, it is
best to use the Suffolk for cross upon them
but these OF themselves are too small and
not of sufficient growth to suit the general
purposes Of the farmer. They do very well
for those who wish fine and delicate pork
for their own family use.-TAe PlO'o,

4 VALUABLE BANK BILL.-What would be
the sensation of an individual accustomed to
handling one dollar relief notes to receive a
bank bill for Qne-million sterling? The
Bank of England it appears, issued four
notes of that denomination, and after these
four were engraved, the plates were destroyed.
OF these impressions the Rothschilds have
one, the late Mr.. Coutts had another, the
Bank Of England, the third, and Mr.. Samuel
Rogers, the poet and banker now decorates
his parlor with the fourth, suspended in a
gold frame.

tonic and stimulating influences are required. Its
