salt upon the condition of cattle. Since the
first of November, 1851, l have kept four
COWS of the same age, standing side by side
in the same stable, and fed with the same
kind Ofhay and provender during the win
ter, and running in the same pastures in
the summer; two of which fed salt in
their mess, and when not messed, three
times in week, separate from their food,
while the other two hac none with this re-
suit: Last spring those that had salt shed

as general thing, had been less healthy,

appearance that the former exhibits. The
difference is now very plainly preceptable,

Home and Wife on Saturday Night.

Happy is the man who has a little home
and little angel in it, of Saturday night.
A house, no matter how little, provided
it will hold two or sO-no matter how fur
nished, provided there is hope in it; let
the wind blow-close the curtains
What if they are calico or plain without
border or tasscl-or any such thing P
Let the rain come down-heap up the
fire, No matter if you haven't candle
to bless you with, for what beautiful
light glowing Goals make, reddening, cloud
ing, shedding sunset radiance through the
little room-ju5t enough to talk by; not
loud as in the highways; not rapid as in
the hurrying world-but softly, slowly,
whispering with pauses between them, for
the storm without, and the thoughts with.
in, to fill up.
Then wheel the sofa around before the
FIRE no matter if the sofa is a settee, un.
cushioned at that if so it may be it is just
long enough for two, Or say two and half,
with two or two and half in it. How
sweetly the music of silver bells from time
to time, falls on the listening ear them
How mournfully swells the chimes of the
days that are no more
Under such circumstances, and such q
time, one can get at least sixty-nine and
a half statute miles nearer kingdom come,
than any other point laid down in "NIaIte
Brun !"
May be you smile at this picture; but
there is secret between us, viz; it is {
copy ofa picture, rudely drawn, but true
as the Pentatouch, ofan original in every
human heart.

very charming, but my sister, who was in
the same convent with her, says they are
false, and if you examine closely the en9r-

At this moment the breathless dancers
halted near tho group The marquis was
addressing some words to his partner,
which caused his listening wife to think of
the ball she carried in her mouth, while the
baroness was re-adjusting her dress, and
passing carefully her hand over the back
of her head, as if to be assured that all was
safe in that quarter. -
Suddenly new thought seemed to pos
sess the injured marchesa; she dropped
the poison ball from her mouth into her
bosom, rushed upon her rival from behind,
and seizing her by the hair detached the
magnificent mass of ringlets from the era
mum, and threw it on the floor.
The marquis, whose eyes were for an in

There she gues--the same little beggar
whose meek beauty and innocence gives me
the heart-ache. The same wan face, rag
ged dress, and cold, bare feet; the same
tale on her lips and the same deep fash
that will tinge her cheek while she repeats
it. 1t is a hard life she leads, and she
knows it; jibs, kicks, scorns, and anathe-
mas she receives in greater abundance than
cold vituals and charity, -
See her! She, passes along with the
grace of a princess-nowshe hurricsrq quick
ly, almost guiltily by yon group of noisy,
happy children, for she reads in their mo-
mentary survey, wonder, ridicule and worse
than all, contempt Oh, how she feels this
lastl How it accelerates her blood, as her
feet and pride hasten her away How she
longs to be, able no more to beg her daily
bread how she wonders if she will ever
be! How she wishes, stealing backward
glance at the frolicsome troup whom she
has placed far behind her, she could have
a whole dress once! Wouldn't it be nice
she asks herself, and wouldn't such din
ner as that fat serving man is taking to his
master be nicer-especially, as mother is
sick? And then, to live in whole house,
with not single crevice for rats to creep
in at, with no rattling blinds, and creaking
doors, and no horrid chimnies to shake so
when the wind blows? She thinks, with a
sigh, it would. And the sigh grows hcay-
Ter, when she sees, reeling around the cor
ner, her father Now how her face flush
es to be laughed at by those thoughtless
children was bad enough, but this is worse.
She darts into neighboring alley till the
loathsome sight has passed, then, with hot
tears stealing down her face, she creeps out
and pursues her daily round, weeping and
begging by tums-ashamcd all the time.
Is it wonder that she listens eagerly to
the voice Of seeming sympathy from one
whose elegance and persuasiveness bewilder
her? His eye has failed to notice the ex-
ceeding beauty of the little, sorrowful face,
upraiSed with mingled admiration and sur
prise to his. He has seen it often, and
planned but now, for the first time, he
CLEANS like sunbeam across her weary
path. She is dazzled. Such radiance for
her.
She looks at her rags, and asks what he
Can sccin herthat he should stop and speak.
Other folks, not to be compared to him, had
passed her coldly by. Alas, that Memory
should array herself on his side! He asks
her in winning tones to be his little girl.
His little girl! Can it be? She wonders,
and then her active, young imagination
tells her how well-dressed she can be, if
she will only take him for a father, better
than those idle, mocking children. She
thinks of her mother, but then this, her
new father, will care for her, and they will
all three live in such a pleasant pretty home
somewhere Alas! alas! Again innocence
is offered up to Satan! Again the cry goes
forth over the laud-Shall Temperance
