To be 80 cross with me?

He bad another sweethsart once,
And now, when We fall out,
He always says she was not cross,
And tina. she didn't pout.
1t is enough to vex q saint
IT'S more than I can bear;
wish that other girl Of his

He thinks that she was pretty, too
Wa beautiful IS good;
I wonder If she'd get him back
Again, now, IL she could?
/ know she would, and there she is
she lives almost in sight;
And now it's after nine O'clock
Perhaps he's there tonight
I'd almost write to him to come
Bur then I've said I won't;

Shan't have him il I don't.
Besides, I know that ! was wrong,
And he was in the right;

CHARCOAL FOR SWINE,

It is not perhaps generally known, that one
oft III best articles that can be given to swine
while iE preparation for the tub, is common
charcoal. The n~utritive properties are so great
that they have subsisted on it without other
food for weeks together. Geese confined SO
as to deprive them of motion, and fsttened on
three grains of corn per day, and as much coal
as they can deyowr, have become Satteaed in
eight days. The hog eats voraciously, after
q little time, and is never sick while he has a
good supply. 1t should always be kept in the

PARSNIPS FOR MICH COWS.

PARSNIPS FOR MICH cows.
When parsnips are given to milch COWS,
with a little hay, in the winter season, the but
ter Is found to be Of as fine a color and excel
lent favor a. when the animals are feeding in
the best pastures. As parsnips contain six per
cent more mucilage than carrots, the difference
may be sufficient to account for the superio,
fattening, as well as buttermaking, quality of
the parsnip. Don observes, that Sin the fatten-
ing Of cattle, the parsnip is found equal if no,
superior to the carrot, performing the business
with as much expedition, and a~ffordipg mea: o!
exquisite flavor ard of highly juicy quality: the
animals eat it with much greediness.'
The parsnips are given in the proportion Of
about 30 pounds weight, morning, aoon and
night-the large ones being split into. three or
four pieces, and a little hay supplied in the in
tervals Of these periods The result of expert
ment has shown that not only in neat cattle, but
in the fattening of hogs and poultry, the animals
become fat much sooner, and are more healthy
than when fed with any other root or vegetable;

CoLp REGIONS EXTENDlNG.--it is well known us n
matter Of history that when Greenland was diSrev-
cred it possessed much warmer climate than it does
at present. The cepacs have been extending South
from the polar regions for some centuries, and the
Northeast coast of our continent are now much colder
than they were three centuries ago. The cause OF
this is not well understood; the fact only is known
1t is believed by some persons that there is great
eddy i'll some part of the polar ocean, which some
times changes its direction, and by drifting large ice
berH from one place to another changes the climate
of those places whence they are dmftcd by the pre-
scnce of such masses Of ice ditnsing their low tenn
pcrature to great distances.
In the month Of July last, the White Sea was block
ed up with huge mountains of ice, and the commerce
of Archangel stopped which never hap
pcncd before In the Farce Islands snow fell in the
valleys in the middle of July. the like Of which also
never happened before. II this drift of ice continues
regularly Tor few seasons, the coasts of the White
Sea will become inhospitabe those Of Greenland
now are. [Scientifc American.

How TO GET RID OF RATs.-There is a public
house on the st. John called Rat Tavern. The name
originated thus An American was travelling up the
river during thaw in winter when snow and water
were very nearly knee deep. Late in the afternoon
he came to this tavern, cold, wet and hungry, and
called for dinner He told rather roughly by the
landlord that the dinner hour had passed. and he
must wait till tea. He then asked for a cold lunch
as he was faint and hungry. After some grumbliAg,
this brought on. The stranger ate and asked for
his bill. Fifty cents, was the reply, in growing
tone. " Dinner is quarter but lunch is out Of
season, and you must pay fifty cents The traveller
paid the bill and sat down to dry himself. Soon a
cheese was brought in by the maid, very much mutt
lated by the rats The whole race of rats received
yollcy of abuse from the enraged landlord. And
why do you keep rats ?" said the Yankee. al can
give you a receipt that l can warrant you will keep
every rat away All and how much will you
charge" "Oh, about fifty cents The landlord,
somewhat c0mplacent, returned the half dollar
and now said he, " for the recipe Well sir
said the Yankee, whenever rat comes to youl
house cold, wet and hungry, give him a cold lunch
and charge him half dollar, and I'll be bound he'll
never come again.

he gave an assumed name. which lie seems to nave
forgotten, as he does not to it. and the ot
GERS in charge have forgotten this name The Tailor
recolects having locked him up, hut can't say when
or what name. Under this state the magistrate is
power!ess, because, he cannot bring him out
Of Jail without discharge, and this discharge must
contain the name under which he was committed and
the jaior will not release him until warrant for his
cannot legally be brought before them. There is no
legal way by which he can he brought out Of Jail but
the magistrates who locked him up could, after they
became satisfied OF his real name, come 10 an under
standing by which his name can he registered on tue
Jail records, and then discharge would be legal
But there is no law for such proceeding.
