The HEALTH OF CATrLE-Mix, occasionally,
one part of salt with four five or six parts of
wood ashes-give the mixture to different
kinds of stock, summer and winter. 1t promotes
appetite, and tends to keep them in healthy
condition. 1t is said to be good aa--ss;llst uois
in horses, murrain in cattle, and rot in sheep.
HorSeradish is valuable for cattle. 1t ere
ates appetite, and is good for various diseases
Some give it to any animal that is unwell 1t
is good for oxen troubled with the heat If
the animals will not eat it voluntarily, cut it
up fine, and mix it with potatoes or meal
Feed all animals regularly. They not only
loOk for the food at the usual time but the
stomach indicates the want at the stated Pc
rod. Therefore, feed morning, noon and even
ing, as near the same time as possible
Guard against the wide and injurious ex-
treme of satiatng with excess, and starving
with want Food should be of suitable quality,
and proportion to the growth and fattening of
animals, to their production in young, and
milk, and to their labor or exercise Animals
that labor need far more food, and that which
is far more nutritious, than those that are
idle
In dry times see that the animals have a
goo" supply of water When the fountains are
low, they drink the DRAWINGS of fountains,
streams and passages of water, which are un-
wholesome

Mrs. PARTINGToN ON MORE A ANTIQUE" Do
you think Moire Antique becomes on a wi
dow Z" said young widow to Mrs Parting
ton, as she exhibited mourning dress elabo-
rately trimmed and bonnet of the latest
mode.
The old lady scanned her attentivey through
her glasses, before she answered.
MOle autic ~ said she at length and her
finger was raised up like note of exclamation
" | should think less antic would be more be-
coming in u widow. Widows more antic must
be them spoken of by Paul to Timothy who
wax wanton and will marry Well, well, let
'em, though where woman has once married
with congealing and warm heart looking
straight at the rigid profile of the Corporal OH
the wall" and one that beats responsible to
her own, she will never want to enter the mari
time state again" There was tremulous tone
in her voice and glistening in her eye, like a
dew-drop on a morning glory the finger fell
to her side, and she turned to look out of the
window after Ike, who was sailing shngle
boat in a rain-water tub, with a garden toad
for a passenger.
The young widow withdrew to read what
Paul had said, evidently dsgusted with the
DANES misapprehension Of her question, though
there was a lesson to her in the blunder.

! THE LAWYER WHO LOST HIS ORATIoN- In
the political struggle of lS48, two delegates
! from D, New HampShire-a lawyer and
tailor-started on their mission to the capitol
of that State, together, in a wagon The tai
lor was as ardent politician as his companion,
! albeit he was not so profound /; what he lack
! ed in book learning and logic, he made up in
an abundant flow of words, set speeches, snatch
es of political oratons, &C. which he had heard
at different caucuSeS, and which his retentivc
memory boarded up, ready to be delivered on
fitting occasions They had not proceeded far
on their journey, when the man of broadcoth
asked his companion if he intended to make a
speech, and, on receiving an affirmative an
swer, told him he should like to hear it, as it
was all cut and dried"
Accordingly, our limb of the law delivered
himself Of his Speech-the labor of more than
one long night-to our " snapper up Of trihes, "
who, after appaudng it much and critciSing
it a little, desired the lawyer to 30 through
with it again, which was complied with Af-
ter discussing freely its merits and its chances
for Improvement, in the delivery more especial
ly, the man of measures " actually prevailed
upon the Speechifer to 90 through with it again ::
and then cOmpmentcd the victim by telling
him " twas now perfect and it couldn't be bet
tered"
Immediately upon their arrival at Concord
they repaired to the chamber of the Conven-
ton, which had Just been organized. Our
man of cloth watched the chance, and before
his companion could say Mr. Speaker" he
anticipated him, got the floor and, to the sur
prise and astonishment of his friends in gene
raj and his companion especially recited the
whole speech as he caught it on the journey
from the unsuspecting lawyers lips, rerJatim
et hteratum, and coolly took bis seat, amidst
thunders Of applause

Not RECTPRoCATED.-A good Joke is going

his heart kept turning over, his eyes grew dim,
his tongue was paraIyzcd. A cold clammy

down upon his marrow bones he thus address

Here his voice failed and he would have sunk
upon the carpet but n timely answer from her

his feet. Rise, sir" said she, I" do not hum
bIe yourself to me, do not rcciprocate your
love-
Reciprocate reciprocate !" whispered
Josh What on earth does that mean, thought
he And then off he went, not even stopping
to kiss her hand, in search of a dictionary, half
mad with hope, and half with fear

Z" A moment thunder !" vocferated Josh,
" want dictionary"
a nicely bound one" said the clerk !; sell

Over and over he turned the leaves. At last
he stopped he looked, he sighed, then laying
