The Best Of Cow Feed.--'The voget-
able | wish to recommend as the best,
all things considered, for mich cows
in winter. Is white fiat turnips; some
persons will object to the turnips be-
cause it will affect the taste Of the
milk and butter. So it does if fed
raw; this can be avoided by boiling.
For each COW, boil half bushcl Of
turnips soft; while hot add five or six
quarts of shorts, which will swell, and
you will get the worth oft. A mess
like this to a cow once day will pro-
duce more milk ola good quality than
any other feed at the same cost. Tur-
nips fed in this way do not faint either
milk or butter,
One thing in favor ofturnips as feed
for COWS is, that they can be sown in
August, or as late as September. |

Retiring from Business.

1t is very common to hear persons
who are engagedin active concerns OF
life, express a desire to become spec
Oily rich, so that they may retire from
business. This appears to be univer-
sally the object Of the business mans
toll. But we venture to say that in
no respect were people more gcner-
ally ,deludcd than this. They eX-
pcct to find nothing but happiness up
ON leaving they have accustomed to
regard as the harrassing cases of bus
iness---thcy actually find nothing but
misery. In nine cases out Of ten the
man who has retired from business
and laid aside his active habits, finds
cause daily to regret the step he has
taken, and to wish himself back again.
Happiness is not to found in idleness,
but in u faithful discharge of the da-
ties of life. Man was not intended as
idle being and it was a wise ordin-
ancc that by the sweat Of his brow he
should eat bread. The necessity of
activity and labor imposed on the hui
man race tends to the promotion of
virtue and substantial enjoyment. 1t
it a true remark Of Mis- Sedgewick,
that 'onc can feel happy where there
is enough to do
We have noticed that in dities this
disposition takes the desire to retire to
the country, and i'll the enjoyment of Il
competency, to spend the autumn Of
life under our own vine and fig tree
in the calm enjoyment Of those revcr-
ed blessings which can be found only
where Nature presides, and art holds
but a secondary position. Thus you
shall 90 along any ofthe streets, and
ask of twenty business men as you
meet them, what their plans are for
the future, and nineteen ont Of the
twenty will tell you they are looking
forward to the time when they shall
be able to own a farm in the country
and live on it. Probably not more
than one out of twenty ever realize
the fuifillment of the wish, because as
they grow older the desire to accumu-
late more increases. and what at TWEEN
five appeared a fortune, ample enough
for all desires at thirty-fye, appears
altogether too small, and another
amount is fixed upon, which again at
forty-five appears quite insignificant
and far below what is necessary.
But the desire is a blessed one, and
the fact that so few persons expert
encc it's fullillment, does not make it
any the less 50. Their desire does not
often take the form of wish to be idle,
but to be tree from the corroding
cares which attend the active pursuits
OF business, and which grow more irll-
some as we grow older, and it shows
deeply implanted with us the senti-
ment that rural life is the true life,
and the more realize OF the hoIloWness
and the heartlessncSs OF artificial life,
the more we desire to commune with
human nature in her primitive tenn
pies and the mere We appreciate the
truth OF the sentiment that God made
the country but man the town.

The Last Sewing Machine.

The Scientific american notices a
new invention of a sewing machine
which promises to eclipse all Others
and which will come within the reach
ofevery family. 1t says:
It is understood that Messrs. Jerome,
of New Haven, Conn, the celebrated
clock makers, have recently purchased
a portion Of the right to Robertson's
Patent Sewing Machine for the sum
Of $4,000. This sewing machine is
said to be a remarkable novelty. 1t
is scarcely larger than the little sew
ing birds used by the ladies, and may
be easily carried in the pocket. In
external appearance it is highly orna.
mental. For the use of families and
individuals, the invention appears to
be admirable. We are told that a
seamtress, with the aid of one of these
machines, will be able to do in one day
the ordinary hand labor of an entire
week. The Messrs. Gerome are at
present engaged in manufacturing
machinery for the manufacture of this
Improvement on a large scale, and in
January next will be able to fill or
ders. Retail price of the machine
$40. The best sewing machines OF
the other makers cost from 800 to
$40,

Large Trees-Until within a few
years there stood near the junction of
the Scantic and Connecticut rivers, in
the town Of East Windsor, a large
sycamore or button-wood. After the
tree had partly decayed, a shell of
wood, perhaps two inches thick on the
outside, remained, Mr.. John Pelton
found that a pole twelve feet long
could be placed horizontally inside OF
the shell, making the tree thirty-siS
feet in circumference. Another tree
near measured twentyt-iour feet
These trees stood near where the first

True Lje.---The mere lapse Of years
is not life. To eat and drink and
sleep; to be exposed to darkness and
to light; to pace around the mill Of
habit, and turn the wheel of wealth;
and make reason cur bOok-keeper,
and turn thought into implements of
trade---this is not life. In all this, but
a poor fraction Of the consciousness
of humanity is awakened, and the
sanctitics still slumber which make it
most worth while to be. knowledge,
true love, beauty, goodness, faith,
alone can give vitality to the mech
anism Of existence. The laugh of
mirth, which vibrates through the
tears which freshens the dry was with
in, the music that brings childhood back
the prayer that calls US near, the
doubt which makes US mediate; the
death which startles us with mystery;
the hardship that forces us to struggle;
the anxiety that ends in trust-these
are the true nourishmcnts of our nat
ural being.

Pretty cool fer Pat.-The otherday

soon after starting from Rome, and de-

Pat was one Of the first to get OIL at
the next station. But judge of the

COURAGEOUS ENGINEER.-A few DAYS since an
accident the N. Y. Central Railroad was noticed
by which the engine was thrown from the track
and X. w. Hawkins, the engineer, injured. The
cars, containing l5O passengers, remained on the
track. The Buffalo Express says:
1t seems that when one of the forward truck wheels
of the engine lost its ange, the engineer saw the
head of his engine begin to dverge from the track
This showed to his instant perception that the en-.
gine at least must 60 down the bank and his
first thought was, not for himself but how TO save
the passengers-and he accomplished that in this
way: The engine by running its forward wheels
intO the earth, had lost SO much of its headway
that the cars had gained upon it enough to slack
all the couplings. The fact was announced to the
engineer by the peculiar rattling noise it caused,
and bis knowledge of his business having taught
him that a sudden jerk, in this state of things,
would break the first coupling that should be
tightened by it, namely, the one at the head of the
first passenger car, his presence of mind turned
this fact to instant account With the velocity OF
thought, he twtched his throttle.valve wide open,
thus giving to the engine the entire head of steam
that he had, and this gave the engine such q fu-
rious plunge forward as to break the coupling
just as was intended, and at the same tune TO
thurst the engine more promptly down the bank,
upon its mission of destruction, as to clear the
track for the pursuing cars, whose forward move
ment bad been greatly accelerated by this manoeu'
vre. This combined effort of capacity and pre-
sence of mind was completely successful The en-
gneer went with his machine, thus FASTENED In
its fall, and was good deal, though happily, not
fatally injured, while the entire train, with all the
passengers, passed rapidly over the track thus
cleared for it, and stopped at short distance with
out the slightest injury
The passengers upon the train made up q purse
sor Mr. Haakins, who declined the same, saying
that he had merely done his duty.
