say in the Journal Of the Royal Agricultural
Society, gives the following as the external
marks which cattle should poses, that they
may produce healthy and vigorous progeny !:
The head small, muzzle fine and tapering nos
trils large and open, the eyes full and lustrous,
ears small and not too thick, the head well set
on the neck, the distance between the ears and
the angle of the jaw short, but the width be-
bind the ears considerable (lo dairy cow
should have short thick neok), the chest
wide and deep; the girth, taken Immediately
behind the shoulders should closely correspond
with the length from behind the ear to the
rise Of the tail ; the carcass of barrel shape,
for thin, Aat-ribbed animal eats largely,
thrives badly, and is usually liable to diarrhea;
there should be little space between the prom
iuence of the hip and the last rib, the quart
er large, the measurement from the promi-
hence Of the haunch backwards to the rise Of
the tail, and downwards to the hook, as great
as possible; the hide thick and plant small

mistaken economy on the part Of government
lead to this incalculable wrong, done to socie-

A DUTcHMAN's LoG1C.-I travelling in the
cars from Cleveland to this city. some time
since, we got into an interesting conversation
with yonng gentleman who CHANGED to occu-
Ply seat directly in front of Of us. AS he
was under the necessity Of turning his head
to talk to US, we suggested that when the cars
stopped again, he should turn the back of his
seat, and sit facing us. There was occupying
the seat with him, pretty good-looking, but
raw Dutchman. Acting upon our suggestion
when we arrived at the the next station, the
gentleman stepped out into the walk of the
car, and politely requested the Dutchman to
do the same, while he turned the seat" The
Dutchman looked at the seat very critically,
and inquiringly said,
:" Turn him yav -
Yes answered the gentleman "Just

When he has no other fastenings to his

Or when he sees the boards dropping from

of farmers stock by keeping them shut up

If he knows that many of his fields would

When earth was cold and friends were drear,
And life q feeting show,
When solitude and lonely hours,
Meier ceased for me to flow,
Perchance met thy smiling face,
And sought thy friendships aid,
Tomove the load from off my mind,
That on it heavy laid.
did not seek this aid in vain
Thy friendship to implore,
With willing heart you gave it me
To keep 1t ever more,
Although the sun has in It's course
Not run Its yearly round,
Since we Hrst met with kindred bonds,
In friendships letters bound.
Within the same short limits too
A parting we have found,
Yet may not now our friendship bring
sweet and welcome sound,
Do pleasures seem to you as dear
As when we used 10 mee:
And are the smiles Of heaven now
As bright, as joyous, SWEET
"Ah, mol" thy lips in sadness speak,
And tell the reason why:
my mother, oh my mother dear,
Has gone to realms on high"
catch the words and weeping sigh,
For thou, know, dost mourn
To lose thy dearest earthly friend,
To never more return.
Not so when we in friendship met,
Your joy was then complete,
And seemed your kind companions all
In merriment to greet;
And could / whisper now a word
Of comfort to thy heart,
rd cheer thee in afflietion's hour,
And to thee joy impart.
But coming time, dear friend, to thee
My sympathy may show.
And then the world in stupor cold,
Its deepness never know,
With crowds I'll roam until we meet,
And when no eye can sec,
II share thy sorrows gloomy pang,
And, signing weep with thee.
Though days and years till then may ny,
With many gloomy hour,
But when we meet We then may know
If friendship has power
TO soothe affection, heal a wound,
To bind affections hand,
And wait our passport, heavenward bound,
Unto better land.

NOW, friends, so soon as these villains
are dead, we will set fire to the house
the old woman there's" he said with bru
tai laugh, ''may be left inside-but The
young one reserve for myself"
Hist - cried one of the men in loud
voice. The major ceased, and they heard
voice outside the house. Although the
words were spoken low, the listener dis
tincrly heard, "when 1 say fire, give it to
them!'
A man with blaEched cheek now rush
ed among them, exclaiming-
1.-The yard is full of men !''
"Fire p cried deep voice from the
yard. A general volley succeeded. and
so we'll had the aim been directed in the
door that several of the tories FELL either
dead or desperately wounded. In turn,
the tories retreated up the stairs, when
David, our hero, rushed into the room
they had just left, and cut the ropes that
bound the Bunkers and their mother and
sister.
"May God Almighty bless you for this. !"
cried one of the Bunkers.
The two men sprang up. seized their ri
tles which had been left in the room, and
prepared to retaliate for the treatment
which they had just received.
Long and desperate was the battle
Tne tories fought for life--the wings for
revenge. But at length the latter tri-
umphed, though not until their enemies
had been almost exterminated. The ma
r fell by the arm of our hero. who had
sought him ont in the hottest of the fight,
and engaged him single handed.
No language Of ours can express the
emotions of David as he pressed his be-
trothed wife to his bosom. and his heart
went up in thankfulness to Heaven for his
timely arrival. when he thought that a de-
lay Of half an hour would have consigned
her TO fate worse than death. The
gratitude of her brothers was expressed
in many words, but hers was silent and
fearful, yet how much more gratifying.

informing him where her husband was

lousy, but said nothing and even when
our first mother pressed him 10 tell her
the meaning Of his smile, refused to an
swer for time, feigning that ho would
not hurt her feelings or injure the rePu,
taton Of his friend. This conduct was on

acquaintance with the weakness Of the
female heart. for by so acting he wrought
strongly on her curiosity as well as he'
