From the Country Gentleman;
Fattening Hogs.

To give hogs a start, when first put up
Cor fatteniDg. there is in my opinion no
better food than good ripe pumpkins boil
ed and steamed with uoiety of potatoes,
and that we'll seasoned with meal scalded
in and mixed with milk. There is sweet
ness iu the boiled pumpkin, which is very
attractive to bis pigship. Indeed all the
trouble with this kind of food is, that it
is difficult to get enough to supply their
wants. The writer has fed to pen of 20
two kettles. of go gallons per day for
some two weeks. | think to commence
on it is even preferable to lard corn.
While upon this subject, allow ne just
to suggest how large an amount 0! good
fertilising matter is usually thrown away
in feekiug our pork. The common course
is to have an enclosed pen for the swine
to eat and sleep in, and all toe manure
made usually goes into an uncovered
back ysrd-probaly real mud hole,
where the manure made from feeding q
large quantity c! grain, Is allowed to go
to be leacbed and eyaporated By the
rains aud sun; aud when We come 10 get
out this valuable con- pound the next sea-
son, to apply to our soil, we fpd it like
the Irishman's fea-not there. Now VIC
all talk about the value Of swine 5 manure
and With truth, for it is indeed supposed
to be more feriliziDg than that of any
other animal. This being so, Why not en-
deavor to save it, and not actually throw
it away 10 the manner described? If 10
better remedy presents, just make a tenn
porary cover to the hog yard of rough
boards, or anything that will keep out
water, and just supply the pigs with Plen-
ty of material 10 work up-muek turf,
straw, weeds, leaves, or indeed almost
anything of decaying vegetable nature,
aDd the thing Is done, when perchance
the next season you will Fl nd that instead
of five loads of leaeheG manure, you will
have just four times the amount, aud a
little better article at that.
Now, brother farmers, is this mere
theory, and as such, unworthy of trial
NOT worth the time and expense? We
all know "tbe more manure, the better
crops" and will not course of this kind
tend to enchance the manure heapl

CHARITY.

IN the hour Of keenest SORROW
In the hour Of deepest woe
Wait not for the coming morrow,
To the sad and sorrowing GO
Make it thy sincerest pleasure
To administer relief;
Freely opening thy treasure
II assuaze brothers grief.
Go and seek the orphan sishing-
Seek the widow in her tears,
And, on mercy's piuious flying,
Go, dispel their darkest fears.
Seek the stranger, sad aud weary.
Pass not on the other side,
Though the task he sad and dreary,
Heeding not the scoru OF pride.
Go, with manners unassuuing,
In neck and quiet way
Ger the father he er presuming,
Though thy brother sadly stray;
IT'S a Sayiour's kind compassion
IT'S His righteousness alone,
All unmcrited salvation
That around thy path hath shone.
When thy heart is warmly glowing
With the sacred Lore of prayer,
BE thy works of kindness flowing,
Not as with a u,iser's care.
Duty e'er Hoald be thy Watchword-
Pity drop the bslmy tear;
TO the fallen alsays cherish
Sympathy and love ,iucere.

A young lady who signs herself "Eu-
dora, sends as giit-edged sheet on which
she declares in positige mauucr that
she is going to lead single life. at the
risk of being called an Old maid. The
poem opens as follows:
TIE SINGLE LIFE.
p a single life is the life for me,
For then ! can 20 where please, and the
flowers | can see;
! will drink all alone my own tea,
With naught but the gay and pretty birds
to see.
1t must be very pleasant to see the fow-
ers aud pretty birds" all alone, but to
sit down in silence and drink a cup of
Souschoug or 0olong must be dull busi-
ness. She goes oD TO say:
Oh never a man did meet,
That by him | would wish TO take seat
Through the voyage of life SO sweet
And perhaps may never that blessed one
meet.
We don't suppose nan would hurt
you if you cid sit beside him, aud as for
the voyage of life being sweet mixture
of masculine and feminine happines, there
is 90 such thing in the book. But she
lays it down still harder
But il will ina Ike no difference TO me,
For single life have chosen and so il
shall be;
Oh, yes. single life is the one for NE,
And so it forever Shall ard will be.
Ah that is terrible resolution. This
declaring TO live single to s!l eternity
is worse than taking the black veil OF
joining the Know Nolbiugs. Still she
does not seem TO alter her determine atom
So all alone III dwell in some island home,
Where / will raise no great and lofty dume
But little low and humble cot,
Where contentment and JOY shall be ry
bot,
This is worse than all the rest. w,
could bear to hear that sue was going t
drink her tea &ll alone, but this retiriu,
